This link gets shared around every now and then, and my response is always the same: there is some useful insight, but there's also information that's so outdated it provides no value, outright misinformation, and self-contradiction. Some of the technical points are fair, and should be and are being addressed. But the commentary is often laughably wrong. The document seems more focused on advancing an agenda than a good-faith effort at improving security in FreeBSD.

We can just refer to the social media posts as "material support to a terrorist organization."
It's bought as a fun gag gift.
I believe the thread was about the behaviour of governments, not individuals. Principled and idealistic individuals exist everywhere, including Saudi Arabia as the article shows.
> Would it be illegal to make a law whose punishment was an oubliette?

No, it would not be illegal to make a law whose punishment was an oubliette. The British Parliament is sovereign and supreme, and can make any law it wishes.

The devolved legislatures are limited by the Act(s) establishing them. Such a law passed by the Scottish Parliament would probably be challenged under S29(2)(d) of the Scotland Act 1998 which prohibits breaches of the European Convention on Human Rights.

In this case, such a law in Scotland could potentially breach Article 3 of the Convention which prohibits inhuman or degrading punishment. The British Parliament can simply choose to ignore it, but the Scottish Parliament can't (unless the British Parliament chose to give it such powers).

> Can the queen be detained at her own pleasure, at least for anything other than the detonation of a nuclear device in her personal capacity?

No, she cannot be prosecuted for anything while she is the monarch. She would need to abdicate or otherwise be legally removed (e.g. an Act of Parliament abolishing the Crown) from her position.

Even if she were able to be prosecuted, the Nuclear Explosions (Prohibition and Inspections) Act 1998 is not currently in force, and even if the Act were in force, Her Majesty would be exempt under S14(4):

"Nothing in this section affects Her Majesty in her private capacity; and this subsection shall be construed as if section 38(3) of the Crown Proceedings Act 1947 (meaning of Her Majesty in her private capacity) were contained in this Act."
It’s well documented that there were no poor people at all prior to the publishing of The Wealth of Nations in 1776. /s

Ah I see. Let me answer your questions one by one.

> Are you cloud based? Using container orchestration?

Yes it's all in the cloud. The infrastructure is spun up using terraform and automated using ansible.

> Is it one cluster per customer? Multi-tenant?

Multi tenant with rate limits to ensure one customer doesn't take down the entire cluster.

> Can I use all standard available ClickHouse integrations?

Most of them are enabled by default - for instance window functions are available. If there is one that isn't available, feel free to email me and I'll most likely enable it.

> How do you manage scaling?

Unfortunately ClickHouse doesn't have a notion of consistent hashing, so currently we scale by simply adding more nodes and reindexing the whole table. That being said, Clickhouse is incredibly space efficient, so we haven't had to do this very often.
In the M5 competition[1], most winning solutions used LightGBM. So ML beat classical.

Just a couple of the winning solutions used DL.

Training neural nets is a novel transformative process - it only takes gradients for each training example, it doesn't save any image, just take the gradients and sums them up overlapping the influence of all the examples, mixing up everything in a way we can't tell which feature comes from which training example. More like inverting the dataset into abstract principles and then generating top-down novel examples.

It's like learning, but differs in that humans can't possibly see so much data. It's not like copying, but it can generate copies of training examples as an edge case. It feels like stealing, but you can't assign who is the victim, maybe it draws a bit from multiple sources of inspiration. It's very creative and inspires all sorts of idea juxtapositions, but some people consider it's only parroting known styles.

In the end I think we will want to use the new toys so we will allow training on anything. Maybe a "Do-not-use-for-training-neural-nets" flag will be observed by the conscientious labs.
Ignoring all the obvious jokes here about banking without regulations and throwing good money after bad, I'm interested in the technical aspect of such bans and had some trouble finding resources. The author says "blocked by DeFi protocols such as AAVE and Uniswap." What does this actually mean? I found Uniswap's FAQ on this ( https://help.uniswap.org/en/articles/6149816-address-screeni... ), but I'm not sure what it means to be a blocked address. Is it just that certain companies won't execute transactions directly with those addresses? Is the author somehow prevented from trading their ETH?
You’re ignoring the entire dependence on the worldwide supply chain. That’s like Cook making a show of “manufacturing Mac Pros” in the US for Trump when only final assembly was done here.

He did the same dog and pony show in Great Brittain.
It looks like they can be

> Interestingly, in the end I was able to withdraw all my funds from AAVE through direct contract calls as illustrated above. So basically the web UI is blocked but people can still use AAVE by sending transactions to the blockchains directly.

The only thing that was censoring his transactions was the website, which is centralized by design.
95% of Vietnamese support capitalism: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2015/03/13/vietnam-... thus making it the most capitalist country in the world...

The UK certainly did not invent the English language, as it's only been around for a few hundred years as an entity.
Accidentally worked on something in master that should have been in a dev branch in git. Then I pushed it to master. Luckily, it didn't go into production. A colleague caught my screw up, and helped me back it out.
Younger minds are still very impressionable and are more likely to change their ways.
It sounds like you're being the equivalent of an online Karen or any generic unpleasant person that lacks critical thinking, awareness, and so on. There's nothing specifically stereotypical about what you wrote when it comes to people who dislike crypto. For example, the YouTube documentary, Line Goes Up, isn't remotely focused on what your satirical attempt goes on about.

This doesn't explain why rent for apartments is cheaper in Tokyo than in the greater metropolitan area of similar cities in other countries like the US.

I was kind of hoping we can just use long urls... as long as we are NOT typing them by hand :)

Previously, on HN (just this morning, still on the front page) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32493946

so if I wanted to share a document about how much water we need in total per day, I could just share you the complete url... or at least that's what I was thinking earlier. As long as I don't have to type it by hand, it should be ok, right?

https://numpad.io?#text/O4ewTgNgJg+gDiOBXCBDALgSxAOwAQC8eA7A...

my rough estimate calculation if anyone is interested, a cube that is about one kilometer and half (under a mile) on each side is enough water for all the people in the world for a day.
I’ve just accepted it’s weird…

So I always invoke my Python as a module and do relative imports, which at least eliminates the conflicts from my code.

YMMV.
> Suburbs don't have that. If you need more milk, it's a good 30 minute car ride away.

Can you name a handful of suburbs where you need to drive 30 minutes to the closest shop that sells milk?

From my suburban house I can walk to a supermarket in 5 minutes. Although if all I need is milk, I can walk to a 7-11 in about 3 minutes.

I think you’re fighting a straw man? There needs to be an open-source integrated CAD/CAM environment, like Fusion 360 is. That's what the OP in this subthread is asking for.
I think depends massively in what you mean by "time series". If it is really an ARMA model you're looking at then ML can only bring noise to the problem. If it is a complex large system that happens to be indexed by time, ML can well be better.

AFAIK Prophet had more modest scope than "be all and end all of TS modelling", rather a decent model for everything. It might indeed be excellent at that...
And good luck with that with China holding so much of our debt. Military leaders in the US for decades has been warning politicians that our debt is one of our biggest threats.
It's hard for me to understand how someone can hold this view, and it's hard to know where to start, but no. As capitalism has expanded it has dramatically reduced absolute poverty. It's not even close, and the change only got more dramatic when communism collapsed as an alternative.

It's the UI being blocked so far. My understanding is that they use APIs from companies like https://www.trmlabs.com/ to decide if a wallet is dirty but the algorithm right now is deeply flawed.
> Mate who cares about rates from years ago. You aren't getting anything under 5 these days

That is irrelevant. The point was the role of other vehicles in investment properties, wherein the GP diverted into arguing about the specific numbers being used.

> The point is if you have 200k to put into a rental property you are already wealthy way beyond an average American.

That's your point, which is not in dispute.
It seems like they do though if you read the whole article
Ads have been present on the App Store, News+ etc for years now.
As a 21-year-old guy, it's my absolute dream to have my own home. Fortunately because I work in tech, I can realistically achieve this within a few years, though I will be paying an arm and a leg for one. But I can't help but think of everybody else who isn't in STEM or didn't grow up in fortunate circumstances like I did. If young people don't have a stake in society by owning a home, why should they give a shit?

There needs to be serious reform but it won't happen because it's against the interests of the people with the power to do it.
Yes, but this particular news is about Apple.
And how does that help when raw materials still need to come from China and many of the components?
How many times can you do this until the banks will not entertain the Idea? Does this only work in a market where home prices only go up?
Why would it not be rentable? That’s an assumption that doesn’t stand on its face when you look at the unmaintained crackhouses landlords will rent easily because demand is so high for housing.
The author of the article did avoid being (sort of) subject to government sanctions
Oh, you are referring to the name suggestions in the comments below the blog post? Yeah. Something where "Kot" is a standalone word would definitely be an unfortunate name choice.

I read your post that way that you argued that "Kotlin" is a bad naming choice. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I would bet 15/day would show an increase in strength and muscle volume and done all at once a day would show increased size, while done through you the day would show better increases in strength.

Based off knowing low reps do more to increase strength and high reps increase size.

I don't understand how emission rate is related to market cap?
How does Apple “secretly” commit to spending $275B? It couldn’t be too much of a secret if random HN posters know about it.
Basically, the "sanction preventions" Aave is instituting are for show only, in hopes they fool the regulators. They'll annoy and disturb the casual crypto trader but will do nothing to stop the big criminals from money laundering. I hope the developers of these defi lending protocols get hit with the criminal charges next.
There's little reason why that couldn't be completely automated. The car knows the outside temperature. The car knows the inside temperature and can easily know the humidity. Its pretty basic math to figure out if the window is going to fog up or not.

You shouldn't need to engage your defogger, your windows should just never fog in the first place.

I do agree though, most cars sold today don't bother automating this and that critical safety controls should be controllable by the driver. I think defrost controls should be controllable on the same stalk that lets you control the windshield wipers, its a pretty similar concept of controlling outside visibility, even if there automatic systems in place to prevent fogging. I don't think it should necessarily be at home on the center console seeing as how its an important safety control a driver should be in charge of and should take precedence over any climate setting.
Very nice! Bookmarked.

I found a small bug:
`5 hours 20 minutes` will give you `5 hr 19 min 60 s`. This only happens with some numbers in the minutes slot.
It provides a large artificial financial incentive to hold onto a property that you otherwise would sell.

I also think it's not right to create this kind of arbitrary, large tax break that only applies in specific circumstances. I think if we're going to have a capital-gains tax (and maybe we shouldn't), then we should keep it simple and not have carve-outs.

If I sell my house while I'm on my death bed, I pay all the taxes. If I wait a week to die first, and then my heirs sell, no tax. This is wrong and unnecessary.
Thanks!

You can use the web version, it's all offline and saved in localStorage. Works well in mobile too and can be "installed" as an app from there.

> You keep harping on about the last point. Which makes me think that you really felt that it hit home with you.

Yeah... your communication skill is pretty bad on both ends, it turns out: out and in.

I'm a Go developer who has used Python for scripting, and for teaching my daughter about programming. I don't care to defend Python as a language, but I do care about clear communication, which you continue to lack.
And still you're typing repetitive text. My dad was punching cards and able to read code from punched tape. I grew up writing code on a home computer's display. And now, 35 years later, it's long overdue that some visual NoCode tool should be the default for mostly repetitive programming jobs. If I want to build a Finder Quick Action to resize an image, for example, I certainly won't open a C editor, I'll just use Automator.
Frankly I don't believe that statins are necessary in 99.9% of cases and I think that people focus far too simplistically on cholesterol.

I can remember that days before the HDL/LDL distinction. Now it turns out that moderately high LDL is not necessarily bad if it not accompanied by other negative risk factors (obese, pre-diabetic, etc).

The fact of the matter is that there is a single diet that is ideal for all humans, just as is the case with every other animal species on the planet.

Homo Sapiens are obligate carnivores and we do best when eliminating all plant-based material from our diet. And we certainly don't find heart disease in the indigenous populations that follow an entirely carnivorous diet, such as the Maasai and the Inuit, unless they have adopted a more plant-heavy, processed-food Western-style diet. (Note that we have to "process" plant-based food, but we can just eat meat and eggs raw -- another sign that we are obligate carnivores).

I agree that high cholesterol may be a problem is you're obese, as almost all Americans are, and if you don't follow a 100% carnivorous diet focusing on red meat.
I afraid of needles and of opiate addiction so I never used injectable drugs but if I had to inject myself with an homemade solution, I would follow that manual¹ , use a syringe that include a filter² and usebacteriostatic water like gavinray said.

That should cover all the probable risks, with the exception of those caused by the substance itself.

The only even quasi-official use of the stone is in horse racing (to measure the weight carried by the horse in a handicap race), which is also IIRC the last surviving use of the furlong.

Small note: there's a typo in the FAQ under "What am I paying for?": "entrepeneur".

I’m not sure I understand the pricing: the FAQ talks about a "free tier" but the Pricing page shows only a $12/mo tier.
You are mostly describing my education curriculum though (except the 3 years of PhD, but I'm not sure they fundamentally changed me on this aspect - I already wanted to be left alone back then, and was by the way not totally satisfied on this matter).

Take this area, plenty of plots now housing cows. Distance to city centre (by car!) is 20 minutes.

Same thing to the North West, in between Munich, Grobenzell, Puchheim...

Buddy you are buying into the horsecrap being told by current homeowners. "It's full!"... Nope, not really. Just like in the Netherlands, about 50% of land in Germany is farmland. And even outside of big cities like Amsterdam and Munich there's plenty of space left. But you're not allowed to build there, let alone build high apartment complexes...
Great achievement! Now please PostGIS in the browser would make this incredible. Turfjs is a bit limited for Ionic and electron apps, imagine PostGIS in the browser.

When I see 'in the browser' I read 'in an easy build and ship app'.
Just seems like an obvious fit. Include the hand holding with internal org resources and white label FastMail, getting a deal like Costco (AARP is like non profit Costco for seniors, in a way) would at that scale.

Appreciate the kind words!
I've also wondered if it's time to back off on agile a bit. Or at least "agile" as it is implemented generally, which means we get to make up new requirements every two weeks. In my experience, the hardest maintenance problems occur because we're trying to re-shape code into something that the developers never knew would be coming down the line. Spending lots more time up-front deciding requirements would go a long ways towards more maintainable code.
I'm quite shocked that someone on HN would overlook the absurdly disproportionate to their population of the contributions of the Nordic and Scandinavian countries to the open source ecosystem.

And, let's take a stronger look at the UK, for example. Can you name a few people who were on the "dole"? I can start with J. K. Rowling and Noel Gallagher, to start.
Just you.

Humans are pretty good at seeing in the world whatever is on their mind or that they have fears or insecurities about. Sometimes that's the face of Jesus on a piece of toast, sometimes that's a scary figure that turns out to be a shadow, sometimes it's interpreting an innocuous word as reminiscent of injustices centuries in the past.
