Ask HN: Cloudflare R2 seems too good to be true. Do the economics make sense?
It's hard to believe CloudFlare R2 charges zero egress compared to 9 cents per gigabyte from all the big cloud providers.

How can it make economic sense for CloudFlare?

Will this last? Will it be cancelled?

I feel like I'm stealing when I use it, I'm so used to being charged 9 cents per GB.
Personally I find it disrespectful when people don’t pay attention in meetings and decide they’re going to make their own call about what’s important and what isn’t. So I’d probably enforce the “camera on” policy, notice that you’re not paying attention and this means the issue gets discussed.

At this point I do more digging/reviews and I either agree with your point and work with the PM to get them to be more concise, or I disagree with you and you’re released from the team for having values that don’t align with ours.

Either way my problem gets fixed because I had people put their cameras on and communicate like grown ups.
Coincidentally enough, I just bought a computer from BestBuy that I ordered online and then had delivered to my car by selecting "curbside pickup". Technically I didn't enter the store so maybe your point still stands -but still, it didn't phase me one way or the other that things were locked up.

That was fantastic. Definitely going to tell my next employer about my convenient and portable siege weaponry.
Sure it crashes all the time, but it looks really sleek while doing so :D
I don't know that Ukraine has the capability to do this. The number of countries capable of this act is quite small.
I think it’ll continue to be this undying language that done people perpetually pick up.

Takes 3-6 months to learn fluently, and a lifetime to find other speakers. ;-)

Maybe in the next 100 years, some neo hippie collective of a not insignificant size decides to make it the preferred language of their community. It’d be cool to walk into a part of a city where Esperanto is the norm, like Chinatown or the Jewish neighbourhood.
That's one of the main thing I miss since switching to an iPhone. On a Pixel, there's almost always some company name displayed when I get a call from an unknown number. I'm guessing it's based on Google looking up the phone number.
Source for the claim McDonalds buys eyeballs. Eyeballs are very tough and chewy. I suppose if used as a lower percentage filler in ground beef people wouldn't notice much, but I highly doubt a significant fraction of burger meat is eyeball.
Definitely one of the best apples for baking as it's very acidic. I'm always disappointed when I eat an apple pie that lacks in acidity, actually surprised by this list as it includes mostly very sweet apples which result in a non surprising low rating.

One can always add some lemon juice if one is forced to bake an apple pie with substandard apples at hand, works quite well.
>We talk a lot about Progressive Web Apps (PWA) in the context of mobile devices, but they have an enormous potential on desktop operating systems that’s only beginning to materialize.

Do we? I think we talk about PWA's on mobile and desktop equally, if not more so in the Desktop (e.g. with Electron and regular browser-viewed PWAs).
Interesting collection indeed ... would be nice to see more of these with different pods
Lots of people have attempted this sort of analysis. You can find attempts at this in ICSE of FSE or whatever. But frankly there is no way to make effective science out of this. All of the data are always messy and make huge compromises to get anything even close to resembling an apples-to-apples comparison. I don't believe that anybody who claims it is meaningfully better in open source has any actual data really backing that up.

If you want my opinion, there is a huge gap between the tiny portion of open source projects that get any real professional scrutiny and the rest of the open source ecosystem. For something like the linux kernel, there are a lot of professionals who are deliberately focusing their novel tools at it and reporting issues. This is clearly better than nothing - though I'm not certain it is so much better than nothing to call it a big win. And this is the result of a large number of different teams all looking at this one codebase.

But pretty much immediately below "the linux kernel" in visibility, everybody stops caring. Even hugely deployed security-critical open source projects that manage media decoding and network stacks get absolutely zero professional analysis. All these projects get is the useless "drive-by CVE-report" garbage where somebody throws an off the shelf system at the repo and reports everything it spits out, no matter how useless the report.
Agreed on the flux, agreed on the metcal. And oh yes, silver bearing solder is really nice. I only use it for repairs of solder joints that have failed mechanically. If you use it for everything, that solves that problem... but a little rich for my blood.

Hobbyists and technicians get obsessed with cleaning off flux. Hobbyists have no business cleaning flux off boards. It's very easy to wind up freeing corrosive salts from the rosin matrix. Then they smear all over the board to corrode and conduct. My rule of thumb is if you can't measure the cleanliness of your board, don't clean it.

Methane is a significant greenhouse gas and I just don't see an attack that results in a large methane release being approved by the current administration. If they wanted to permanently shut the pipeline they'd do it differently.
Water currents could be one cause of inaccuracies
Tesla is pretty much a software company.

Apple or any other company that wants to step in the EV market can be huge, if they focus on build quality and user experience, and by user experience I don't mean just the UX dashboard.

There is a huge room for innovation in the automotive industry, I argue that we still haven't saw the next Model T 100 years later, and the industry grew a lot.

Give the people an affordable well build, reliable, easily serviceable car, and you might outsell Toyota Corolla.

Apple started from scratch with the ipod, iphone, watch. Can they do it and with a car, I don't know they certainly have the budget, they certainly can find the talent, the only question is do they have the vision.
Yes it’s additional flux that you don’t need.
Pharoah Sanders, Whose Saxophone Was a Force of Nature, Dies at 81
I can see it especially if the various models are "similar" - I chose my last used car from Hertz from a field of two - based on how well the iPhone played music with the radio. Other than that the cars were functionally identical for me.
That graph shows new development rising. It’s not as high as it once was but it’s an upward trend. The valley was around 12-13 years ago.

Talking to people currently in the industry, they are busier than they’ve been in years. I know people trying to find contractors for small jobs who can’t.

NY and CA may not be having a lot of new construction. But, other places are. California is seeing a population decline
Persistence and impermanence are both what make EVE such an immense milestone in gaming. You lose a ship in battle? It's gone forever. Ferrying goods you manufactured out of in-situ resource gathering, and a pirate ganks you at the nullsec gate? You just lost weeks worth of revenue. It's the antithesis to "it's fine I'll respawn". Everything matters, because it only exists due to players. Nothing is a given. It's a real economy with a real society. Man I miss that game.
The reason to never use CPU limits is different than those stated in the article. In short: Linux kernel SUCKS. More specifically, the "Completely Fair Scheduler" (CFS) sucks at enforcing those limits. Setting any limit at all causes CFS to waste like half of CPU cycles on enforcing it, and only the other half is available for any useful work.

Have you looked into Kelly criterion?
You have to use heavier isolation mechanisms with those languages -- processes, containers, virtual machines. These are too heavy to support thousands of tenants per machine. Edge locations are typically smaller clusters, and you typically want all your customers to present in every point of presence, so you need to pack them tighter. V8 isolates are light enough for this to work and be cost-effective.

It's wild that you have to set up Docker to contribute to 600 characters of JavaScript.

It's like building a robot to pass the butter.

"Truth to power". There were few people as vehement in supporting Assad's genocide as Max Blumenthal (following his paid junket to Russia in 2015).

I'm getting a lot of responses and it seems I can't edit my previous comment. To clarify, I mean who buys cars primarily for their built-in infotainment system that's not Android Auto or Apple CarPlay? If a car has either one, then I don't really care what it comes built-in with because I won't be using it. Beyond that, other factors are necessary too such as MPG as I mentioned.
Agree, about the "us vs them" mentality. The tribalism has gotten out of hand, though I kind of suspect some of it is corporate interests being behind it to push the illusion its a "winner take all" game and "putting the batteries in the backs" of many of the evangelists.

My colleague in Germany showed his in-law's house and he said that his father in-law built the whole house by himself. Is this something common in Western Europe and especially Germany? I was very impressed as this is something very rare in my country.

Yes, but only with significant numbers of active users ideally DAUs.

Our app has several hundred thousand MAUs and we make about two cents per month per active user. Margin on this is about 50%.
>We've had to get really good at recognizing patterns because their covers are really good (even faking passports and work history).

I'm pretty sure that can get you into super duper extra trouble with the State Department.
I'd love to understand the legal/tax aspects of this - what SSN and addresses does the "middle man" use - I get that it's easy to get an SSN but within a matter of a year most of the work would be discovered come tax time. And IMO the best parts of Tech are the actual vesting and RSU/Option packages an employee gets.

Yup that's what I'm thinking. Higher wages would encourage more elaborate fraud (faking identity, paying a strong interviewer to sit in for you, paying people to pretend to be your references, paying someone in the company to refer you) because the payday makes it all even more worth it.
Saluton! Me too. I like the app but find the attempts at gamification a little annoying. I wish I could just turn all that off.
This point of view ignores the fact that books have a cost to create, unless you think they just wave their hands and the content comes out fully formed.

> It's pretty arrogant to tell authors that copyright will provide any guarantee to protect their income. It doesn't. It can't.

> It's pretty arrogant to blame the death of copyright on piracy. Piracy is not the cause, it's the result. It's not the knife, it's the open wound.

I have made no comments about either of these subjects, so I don't see how it is relevant.

Alternatively, the SEC can do their job but don't have the necessary tech-savvy manpower to do it enough.
Just a general tip. Not startup, but I do make a different B2B webapp every other week, which lets me experiment and improve with each project :)

Consistency is great and underrated, imo. User should be able to use new elements intuitively. It's better to have a consistent design vs one really good and one "eh."
Yea, but fingers and brains are not strongly correlated. An evolving alien sentience could end up with just about any number of fingers, but most life on Earth has some form of symmetry or other making even numbers more likely. Thus I a can imagine that if we canvassed the entire galactic population, every civilization would use even bases, but there would be no clear bias to 10 in particular. Perhaps a bias away from really large bases, but not one that is in favor of 10 specifically.
Why would keeping the pipelines operational not be a strictly dominant (over blowing the pipelines up) strategy if reducing EU support and aid to Ukraine is the objective? Having the pipeline there but not delivering anything through it results in the same lack of gas, but also adds the option of dangling the possibility of delivering some in return for support and aid being reduced.

The most obvious beneficiary of the pipelines being blown are those countries that would stand to lose from the option of resumed delivery being available (and potentially taken) by Germany, that is, Ukraine, Baltic countries (who have a cultural and geopolitical interest in its victory) and the US (which has a geopolitical interest in its victory and a financial interest in selling LNG to Germany). Why do you think that these potential benefits to the countries in question are not real?
I go to a lot of effort to find others with the same ideas as me and I found that I am unusually unique. Having a unique idea makes me feel insane and my compulsion to test the idea comes from a need of validation. I would be much happier if someone else did it because there are more profitable things I could be working on. I don't think inventiveness is evenly distributed among the population. I think it can be both true that such talent is rare and that it needs the additionally rare appropriate time and place for it to flourish.
Anecdotally, I don't think I've /caused/ any pain with the questions I've asked in my career, but I have often revealed pain that was otherwise hidden or being avoided. One of the most important skills I learned in my career was asking good incisive questions. The only way your team or organization can resolve problems is if you first acknowledge that the problem exists, and there are often problems in organizations "that everybody knows", that asking questions about (especially as a newbie or outsider) can help to resolve. It's definitely opening a can of worms, it's definitely painful, but the question doesn't cause the pain, it just reveals the pain that's already there.
Bad managers come from responsibility-without-authority, which comes from a climate of unaccountability. They also come from the notion that "management" is a distinct and universal skill, whereas in fact what is needed is the ability to inspect work product in a specific context and reject what is not good enough.
Unless we're living in a Star Trek post-scarcity utopia, everyone needs to work for a living. Including all the people affected by this.

You want to have a sexual relationship with your report? There's a very simple, professional, solution for you, which is to do as you advise - 'prioritize family over work', and have one of you move jobs so that you aren't ruining it for everyone else. There are more people in society than the two of you, and they are negatively affected by quid-pro-quo behaviour, or the appearance of quid-pro-quo behaviour.
I actually have a weekly google alert that searches for my full name, which fortunately/unfortunately is basically unique. It's normally nothing but a handful of false positives, but the week I appeared in the local news lit it up like a Christmas tree.

For those of us unfamiliar with the game, would anyone like to summarize what this is, and/or why it's desirable?

Nothing in the Readme, the website, nor the wiki explains what EVEmu actually does, or why anyone would want it done. That, alone, is interesting in a world rife with marketing copy: these developers think their value is self-evident.

People haven't seen the speed of light, but they have an understanding of the fact that it's the maximum possible speed. Similarly, while people haven't seen a kiloton of TNT being blasted, they can easily visualize what a kiloton of TNT is and understand what that means.

Your claim that I'm only advocating these units because they're common in media is ignoring the fact that these are also very common as formal units in their respective fields. Another great example is AU, no one has seen what 1AU exactly is, but everyone can intuitively understand that 5AU means 5x further from the Sun than the Earth is, 0.74 terameters conveys absolutely nothing on its own and even for someone who is aware that 1AU=0.15 terameters, it takes a bit of extra mental effort to obtain the same information while not really adding anything because '1AU=0.15 terameters' is fundamental knowledge in the field anyway.

This is not going back to the old days of units for two big reasons, they have important meaning within their field and there is widespread knowledge of conversion factors. Normalized units are also very popular in physics as they simplify the math and are more intuitive due to being directly tied to physical properties.

Hell, even going back to the old metric vs imperial debate, there were very good benefits to the imperial system back when calculators were rare as multiples of 12s were more convenient to divide in the most common fractions (2, 3, 4, 6). Even now our clocks are based on those multiples due to their convenience for general use.
There are plenty of tech companies that build real products and deliver real value. Some of them even take VC money. There will probably be less money flowing into businesses that look to grow to category dominance in the B2C space, but there's still so many places in the economy that could see productivity gains from adopting boring tech.

Ask HN: How to Stop Gmail Rate-Limiting
Gmail messages from one of our mail servers (190.92.179.88) suddenly started being rate-limited a week ago. This affects thousands of Google's customers, who are getting their booking confirmations over 24 hours late.

We comply with every part of Gmails bulk sender guidelines. Both servers are registered with Postmaster Tools and have 0.0% spam stats; both have PTR, SPF and DMARC records; all messages are DKIM signed; neither server is on any blacklists.

We've filled in the form referred to on Gmail's bulk sender guidelines page twice, with no response or effect, and are now faced with the common problem of transmitting meaningful information through the Google event horizon.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Has anyone solved this in the past? Any Googlers able to pull a few strings to help thousands of YOUR customers?
As far as axiom of choice goes, they were probably referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach%E2%80%93Tarski_paradox

Whether or not it is "wrong" is in the eye of the beholder. Why should infinite things be intuitive? After all even "real" things in the universe are highly unintuitive - e.g. quantum mechanics sounds obviously "wrong" at first glance.
The way his job works is that he bids for jobs, gets accepted then go's out to wherever that job is. Usually spending 3-6 months out at a time, then going home and bidding for other jobs. Thing is, according to him, there weren't any jobs during covid and he isn't known for being a saver. That is def on him, but he says he is still having trouble getting a pipeline job that his union allows. Personally, I know next to nothing about the pipeline welder industry outside of what he told me, as I am a programmer. I am going off his word which may/may not be accurate
I don't disagree.

It's for this kind of nonsense that I have "alt-space -> s -> down -> right" burned into my fingertips followed by moving the mouse cursor to resize a window deterministically (along with "alt-space -> m -> any arrow" for move, doubly useful to "rescue" an off screen window)
This is not something new. It is simply a matter of discipline, and choosing long term rewards over short term rewards.

And people have been choosing short term rewards for many generations and probably all of humanity, even when they know otherwise.

Everyone knows to eat and drink less/better and exercise more, but few do it, because it is not fun.

Speaking of the "Kevin Smith" case, I know of someone with a very common name going into an interview for a job he applied for - he was underqualified for the role and was surprised he was selected. Turns out the company had mixed him up with another candidate with the exact same name and sent out the interview invite to the wrong person!
News like this scare me because they make you realize you can't rely 100% on the technology. My Samsung phone is 2 years old and it didn't swell. I hope it won't but man it sucks that stuff like this happens. Maybe it is just me but old-school phones were more "safe" and "reliable" than new ones(smartphones) perhaps because smartphones are much more complex both software and hardware wise so chances of failures are higher.
