I don't understand how you can argue for an unbiased situation and then disregard the entire left side of the political spectrum. How can election results represent anything other than the will of the public?
NIMBYism would be a lot less popular in SF if we called them what they were: Conservatives.

> what’s the incentive for bumble to actively keep a bunch of users who aren’t “legit”?

This is a well covered topic regarding dating sites, and most sites have struggled with this problem. In fact, some dating sites were caught generating fake profiles themselves. And searching for "Bumble fake profiles", it seems this has been a big issue for a while.

Dating sites historically had more men than women on them, and that presented an obvious problem. The women got too much attention, and the men had few women to browse (and received few replies, perhaps because the women weren't interested or perhaps they were overwhelmed with messages).

Sites that have more members (options) are more attractive to subscribers. So more is better, especially when the pool of potential dates is generally considered to be attractive. But what's a site to do if they don't have many members? As was the case for AdultFriendFinder, they can start creating fake profiles. Or they can allow promoters ("members" who aren't there to date but are instead promoting their onlyfans, instagram, or whatever accounts).

> who made you the arbiter of what a user can put on their profile?

If a member exists only to promote their external accounts and presumably has no intention on actually dating someone from the site, then they do not belong on the site. And if the site is making money from subscribers but allowing large numbers of profiles that are not actual date options (because they exist only for self-promotion), then it is a failure of service on the part of the site.

As for the idea of malice, as in the captcha is intentionally designed to prevent actual customer service requests, I would argue that a paid member should be allowed to open a customer service request without any captcha. The existence of the captcha itself is unreasonable if the user is already a paying member. If the user were to somehow abuse the customer service system, the site could simply ban the user and the user would lose their money.

It's not so difficult to imagine that a site which might intentionally allow fake profiles would also want to prevent people from reporting them. The thinking might be, "maybe this user will give up trying to report and just return to browsing profiles". If a fake profile is reported, based on the terms of service, it has to be investigated. And that costs Bumble money. Of course they would like to avoid that.
I wish but the money is in 3rd . First party has barely any margins. The first party stuff is just cover for being a alliexpress reseller.
evilsocket is a pure genius of CS. Wonder if apple has ever thought about hiring him.
I don't think you can remotely compare the two, and no physical harm is actual done. And if an extension stops working because it depends on a list, the list can be removed, the extention can be disabled, a different browser can be used. Ad blocking isn't an essential service that can be easily replaced, and it isn't being provided as anything but a voluntary service with no uptime or availability assurances.

The made up scenerio of this preventing some critical task from being accomplished is stretching at best.
The principles are very serious; the implementation suffers from the usual risk of fighting a wrong in one direction with another wrong in the opposite direction.

> led by an obvious despot that rigs elections and murders high profile citizens outspoken against them ... as part of an ongoing revanchist campaign ...

Sorry for asking, but how is this part relevant to the question? If the invading country were led by someone nice, or if its invasion were not a part of an ongoing revanchist campaign, would the answer to the invasion be any different?

My response as a private person would be no response. In an imaginary scenario where I had any political power, my response would be similar to that of India, China, Mexico, Cuba, Egypt, or United Arab Emirates. It probably makes me a bad person.
I also started (non-trivially) contributing to OSS with OpenStack, and later switched to contributing to Kubernetes. I whole-heartedly agree with the points made here; these same observations really shaped how I chose to contribute to Kubernetes.

Trying to get all the AWS early adopters to abandon their investment and move to something else seemed like it was a huge barrier to adoption, so I started off contributing to the AWS support for kubernetes and making sure that kubernetes worked well there. But the pains of installing OpenStack from upstream were fresh in my mind, so I also contributed to make sure that kube-up worked well and then (as we outgrew that architecture) started the kOps project. My goal is that you should always be able to run OSS kubernetes from upstream, even if you just treat that as an insurance policy that gives you the confidence to use a managed service.

I think the miracle of kubernetes is that I was just one of a large number of people here, each of us bringing our past experiences to make kubernetes better in some way. And the community continues to grow with people each addressing their own painpoints, which does create a lot of churn/progress (depending on your perspective!) I'd say that the people that organized the community were the unsung heroes here, and I suspect they learned a lot from OpenStack as well.

I agree, and think we should remember that many Twitter users have chronological feeds. While I'm sure it was unintended, followers of @stratecheryint would find their feed unusable for the duration of the mistaken spamming.

"Permanent" is harsh. Maybe a couple hours of cooldown and a "did you mean to start a thread or post these hourly?" message would be a nice alternative.
There’s a subscription to use it beyond 20 free memos. Running these models is pretty expensive!
"You also have to deploy Ceph to get storage, which is itself an entire beast"

You do not have to use Ceph, although it is the most popular storage backend for OpenStack. Cinder is the OpenStack project that's used to provision block storage for OpenStack. Look at the list of Cinder drivers [0] to see what the storage options are. I do agree with this part: "is itself an entire beast"!

NH3 is easier to make into liquid. CH4 requires cryogenic temperature and high pressures to liquify. For that reason I think that NH3 will dominate in the long run. But, CH4 can be made passively from organic waste so it might eek out an edge. It would be interesting to see the energy cost breakdown for production, storage and transport of both.

Methane already has a place in our energy economy. I speculate it will lead over NH3 for quite awhile.

Rely on users to report the bad apples, ban accounts who abuse the report features, and provide people whose identity has been proven with a government-issued ID card with a safety switch that enforces human moderation for "spam" reports.

Right now Twitter isn't doing anything but the first part, which is why "I got mass report banned on Twitter" stories are so commonplace. They need not be, if Twitter would do their goddamn job.

Can we know for sure that they "didn't actually carefully review anything"? Likely thousands of accounts are auto-flagged every minute(second?), and for permanent suspension (as opposed to the much more common "locked because of suspicious automated activity/bad tweet"), maybe there's a process in which a report listing the suspicious signals is glanced at by a human auditor.

I'm talking like seconds of review, e.g. the report says "In 5 minute span, account tweeted from a known U.S. AWS server and a Europe AWS server, etc. etc. Confirm suspension", and the human clicks "Confirm" and moves on to the next hundred reports to "review"
Agreed, same.

You need support from the chip manufacturers to get that done.

>Replace "right" with "those who doesn't want to do the right thing" and most political speech kinda makes more sense.

>The Left/Right split of viewing politics is a false dichotomy that made sense only about a century after the French Revolution, in France.

I don't think that's a fair characterization. I don't think people affiliate with a certain party seeking to "not do the right thing". Saying it is a false dichotomy while still saying one side doesn't do the right thing is a bit two sided. I am, however, getting the idea that there is some subtle derision being conveyed when the term 'right wing' is used, which is unfortunate because at least to me I'm being pre-loaded with bias about people I don't really know yet.
Platformatic DB v0.4.0 – the post-conf edition
I don't understand. I want to develop code. I don't want to become an AWS/S3/Github/Jenkins/Action/terraform/etc expert. I know enough of this to be dangerous but not at a level that passes as professional. Yet I am regularly tasked with maintaining the full deployment of code.

There's a reason to have a team of people doing this "DevOps" work. Just like we have a team of people who do SRE. It creates a standard and a single point which all work flows through. Then you don't wander onto a new project only to realize they use $BESPOKE_DEPLOYMENT_METHOD because "it's what we used 6 months ago". Or worse, you don't have a developer playing with a massive, nuclear powered, foot gun like Terraform and accidentally destroying infrastructure.

Making DevOps/DevSecOps/$BUZZWORD the responsibility of developers is a cost-cutting measure not a responsibility measure.
On the contrary. If person 2 removes the licensing information lazy dev can't know that they're doing anything wrong, in fact it could easily have an OSS license that misleads lazy dev because GitHub allows you to select OSS licenses when you create a repo, so there's sure to be plenty of copy-pasted code under the wrong license.

I have always kind of disliked both cloud and containers. Primarily, they just add more complexity and overhead into the computing landscape. I've thought this to be bad both in material resources and energy consumption, but humans have a high time preference, and therefore they choose to spend both materials and resources to get a little more time back. This is much the same reason that hipster languages and frameworks are in a constant state of churn. I myself am guilty of perpetuating these things that I dislike from an analytical perspective where I say they are wasteful, because I often just want to get something done so I spin up a cloudy service of some kind, deploy some code, close a ticket and walk away knowing I didn't go about things the "correct" way.

For all of this to stop, not only does the bubble need to burst but people would need to be far more intentional about what resources they use where and when. People would also need to have longer software lifecycles, more QA, and so on. This would only happen in an environment with far higher interest rates and far lower monetary velocity. In essence, there'd have to be a lower tolerance of risk to stop the constant churn of hardware, software, and development methodologies on both. There are tradeoffs to such changes.
Well what about Google Sheets? Lots of people are able to build things in Google Sheets without knowing where and how it runs.

Perhaps most of our organizations are using the wrong tools and that the way we divide responsibilities is the problem.

Imagine if:

1.) instead of general purpose languages being used by product developers we had domain-specific languages and tooling that were agnostic to things like deployment, memory-management, data storage

2.) computer engineers built the domain-specific languages and tooling and focused on things like deployment, memory-management and data storage.

DevOps is generally solving for general purpose development while developers are generally solving domain-specific problems with general purpose tools. This seems to be a large part of the disconnect!
These sorts of CPUs are probably more likely to be bought by people who use them heavily, rather than sit idle for hours and hours. Obviously there will always be the Whale who surfs the web but has to buy a 13900k, but most people aren't dropping this sort of dough if they don't need the horsepower.

I can spend several hours on a weekend night gaming, and my GPU and CPU, depending on the game, are going half to full tilt. Typically ~350W, and that doesn't include my two monitors. When it's not in active use, it's asleep - I rarely leave it idling for more than ~30min before I put it in sleep mode. I'd say it probably spends 25% of its life under load.

This and the prior generation I9s use 2-3x the wattage of current generation AMD CPUs...couple that with NVIDIA 4000 series cards hitting 600W and you could have an intel 13900k w/4090 gaming rig using around 1000W, not including PSU efficiency losses or monitor(s). We're talking "you might need a dedicated circuit if you're on 100-120VAC and want anything else on that circuit" territory; it wouldn't surprise me if people start hiring electricians to switch circuits over to 208v.
Could please someone clear up the following for me: So his processor draws up to 335W. The core voltage is to my knowledge around 1.3V, so this processor draws over 255A. How is this possible? Shouldn't these tiny structures inside the processor immediately evaporate with currents like these? I mean, they are not superconductors, they must have some resistance? Why do I have to spend so much money on AWG4 cables for my battery storage, and somehow these rules do not apply to microprocessors?

Coincidences are everywhere and our monkey brains generally have a hard time accepting that they are just coincidences.

One example that will make any physicist bang their head on their desk:

3 * l_P / alpha_em^2 = 9.10543E-31 m

Which is within 4.3E-4 of the numerical value of the electron mass in KG except the formula has units of meters not kilograms so it's complete nonsense.

l_P = Planck length
alpha_em = "fine structure constant"

I appreciate the insight. If you happen to see this reply, how does "canceling an infinity" work. Do you just keep trying new numbers until the infinities cancel out? I guess my confusion lies at how something can take years and where the manual aspect of these calculations comes in. I've run calculations that take minutes or even hours, but it's just one of those things where you walk away and do something else and then its done. There seems to be more of a "guess and check" aspect in high energy physics that maybe I'm not grasping.
I wonder if this is a sign of a system that's no longer salvageable.
This was one of the interview questions for my first ever programming internship at 19.
Ask HN: How to Start Contributing to FOSS as an Ubernoob?
Basically title, but for some background:
I'm a student in post-secondary education that has dabbled in programming for about a decade, but never really completed any large projects. I've made simple shell scripts, but consider that "real" development work. When I tried looking at pull requests/issues and the respective APIs of FOSS projects such as GNOME or KDE apps, the code would just completely go over my head. I would have no idea how to even start solving the problem or where/what the bug even is! It just made me feel all the much more worse because I was too broke to donate to awesome projects I use, but also too moronic to contribute bug fixes. I would appreciate any and all advice, thanks!

I totally don't want to do operations work.

I've done some, and it feels like reading an arcane text in another language. I've seen the thing I want before, so I know there exists a magical YAML incantation that brings it about but I have no idea how to even start looking for it. It devolves to an extremely slow feedback loop of "did that work? No."

I've never found anything that explained how I'm supposed to create a systematic approach to creating anything I need.
> However, Mullvad is by default a single-hop service (Double-hop optionally available).

This can be addressed by using tunnels to create multiple hops.

See for example: Tunneling tunnels within tunnels (inside of tunnels) — https://cryptostorm DOT is/blog/multitun (I broke the url because otherwise HN is incorrectly marking the comment as [dead])

It would be great if Mullvad adds multi-hop support (>2) based on something like that.

Another possibility is to create a VPN on top of a Mixnet like Nym: https://nymtech.net/.

I don't think the US is ceding any ground personally. They are probably doing the research intensely but just not public all. All the research done by Nazi's was absorbed by the US during operation paperclip. Most of those heinous nazi scientists were rewarded for their cutting edge work by the US.

Just like paperclip and mkultra.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip

Operation Paperclip was a secret United States intelligence program in which more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians were taken from former Nazi Germany to the U.S. for government employment after the end of World War II in Europe, between 1945 and 1959.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MKUltra
Project MKUltra (or MK-Ultra)[a] was an illegal human experimentation program designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), intended to develop procedures and identify drugs that could be used in interrogations to weaken individuals and force confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture.

You missed the part about the support of the international community. At the time the US invaded Iraq, they (we) unfortunately had widespread support in the general sense, even if some countries were less supportive on the specifics.

International consensus means quite a bit in cases like this, right or wrong.

On the other hand, yes, if the US had been defying international consensus when invading Iraq, I do hope that the International community would push back in a way that caused the US to rethink their (our) approach.
> They expect people to live in that monstrosity.

I would definitely live in a city like that, it looks great to me. There are lots of people who have a preference for high density cities as it comes with lots of benefits. It's also more eco-friendly than low density living[0]. I just wish it was built in a more liberal country.

All of the public toilets I used as a tourist in Europe cost a euro, bathroom operators have an incentive to keep their bathrooms clean. San Francisco (lived there for 4 years) does not adequately maintain their toilets, echoing other comments in this thread, they're literally the worst I've seen. Even the NYC MTA (i.e. subway) bathrooms were better, bathrooms which tend to be portrayed as being especially dirty
You don't need a car to live in these cities, but that doesn't mean it costs less to live there overall.
