Ask HN: Transfer Large Amounts of Data
Hi HN,

My friend has folder on his computer with over 1.100 videos, in total it's about 300 GB.

He wants to hand me over the folder but I have no idea on how he should transfer everything over to my computer in the most efficient way possible.

My idea so far have been,

1. Just grab his harddrive and put it in my computer

2. Bring a portable hard drive over to his house

3. Rsync

4. Airtar / Wormhole

5. Torrent from his computer to mine

Do any of you have any better ideas?
Is "people who view the world and their identity only through demographics" a demographic? Because it's almost always them.
FTA: "Lower levels of other bacteria, including those in the family Ruminococcaceae, were also linked to depression."

"Other studies found non-digestible carbohydrate consumption positively correlated with increased abundance of Ruminococcus, E." [0]

So, eating carbs not only feels good in the moment, it is also directly linked with lowering depression! /s :D

> Even the better made ones (like Candy Crush) are still designed to wring money out of people

Arcade games may have been designed to deprive players of their quarters/tokens, but they have nothing on modern optimized monetization schemes, including many which bring mobile games much closer to slot machines, in the hope that gambling addict "whale" players will spend the sort of money that they might lose at a casino rather than a Chuck E. Cheese.

So many games that I might otherwise enjoy playing in are simply not fun for me because of the intrusive monetization schemes. F2P games add this annoying metagame of "fight against the obnoxious monetization traps" which I usually don't enjoy.

Bad monetization schemes set up an ugly conflict between developers and players that degrades the gaming experience.
It’s been the top seller all day on steam. I dunno if it has the possibility to be for the month because I think we’ve got a couple other super high profile games coming out before month close.

My guess is that it's for og meta tags so that the post link renders nicely on social media.
You are making a ton of assumptions about the nature of confidence, attraction, and sexism, which potentially reveal your own biases. For one thing, I don't think that confidence and placing someone on a pedestal are "polar opposites" of each other, rather they are entirely different and uncorrelated dimensions of personality that can exist in any combination.

There are models of behavior describing personality across cultures, like Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions, that speak more broadly on the way a group behaves as a whole. You might want to give them a read.
Yeah that's about the moment my BS meter started to really peg. Aluminum frame in a Pinto, hahahaha!

Would it be reasonable to assume that the price points help them and not the buyer or seller? Decision fatigue matters more to me than which product you actually pick if I’m taking a clip of the sale regardless
You’re not wrong about the what, but the relationship between the pieces. Drug use starts as a way to to cope with something. Not fitting into society in one or more ways is the start of the process. Not drug use, it is a side effect of the process.

But like you say once started it usually spirals out of control quickly.
It is now, but lobster used to be considered trash food only worth feeding to prisoners. When they die, all the stuff in their digestive tract almost immediately starts spoiling the meat so it wasn’t until canning in the mid 19th century did it become more common, as they could be cooked and canned right as they were caught. Eventually there was enough demand to support specialized boats that could keep them alive long enough to deliver to a supermarket or restaurant lobster tank and that’s when it became a delicacy.

They’re expensive largely because of the infrastructure required to keep them from going bad.
I still can't get past the name - I'm in California and all I think about when I hear Pinto is beans. Did that not trigger any alarms in Ford USA marketing in the 70s? I know Pinto is a type of pony with odd color patches but I have to look that up every once in a while. And even if that's what they were going for, that's still a weird name to choose. I know companies often are oblivious to how names translate in other countries but was Mexican food just not popular in the 70s in the US?

There needs to be some sort of trigger for the media and/or a critical mass of people to care. Tiktok has the China and data harvesting angle. Facebook has an unlikable founder (sorry, Zuck), and slew of headline generating scandals with user data.

Snapchat just isn't on the radar of people who care about content moderation… yet.
It looks like after 3 more minutes of testing, it's a me problem. There is one particular file that goes bonkers, which just so happened to be the one I had up. If I start a new file in that project, or work on an existing file in a different project it's fine and the completion works as expected.

I can't make it work with the one file, but yeah...not a codeium problem at all. I'll be sure to test at least 5 minutes next time ;)
We got random failures on our API gateway to lambda connections, and the answer we got back from the support agent was something like “automatically retrying on failure is industry best practice”.

I just wanted to shout at them to fix their damn system, but of course we ended up implementing retries instead…

Because the ISPs at the same time do provide tools to configure them for IPv4, and they're the ones boasting about connecting « everyone » to IPv6..?

Otherwise, this is more hearsay from discussions about this on technical ISP forums, I wanted to look more into this, but I'm waiting until my ISP gives me more than a single /64, and with proper router support (so I can easily do things like host my server separate from my home network).
Rad in Seattle for example has a dedicated shop location. I’m not sure what makes it an “actual bike company” vs not but I expect more and more electric first/only brands to emerge over time.
Ask HN: Good options for rural mobile internet
For what I can only describe as 'old man reasons' my dad will no longer accept being a customer of the broadband internet provider in his rural area. I am trying to find a suitable alternative for him such as a 4g hotspot device, preferably that can run on the AT&T network. Does anyone have any good experience with any particular devices?
That's called distributed monolith. It's pretty much guaranteed to happen if the developers don't introduce a lot of redundancy while splitting up the services.

I would never reward a thief with additional stock, especially as it may diminish your ownership share.

I would hire an accountant to advise you on how to setup checks and balances to ensure that his theft does not continue. You cannot trust everyone in a company to do the right thing. That's why procedures with checks and balances are necessary, especially for money. If he won't agree to this or won't follow the check-and-balance procedures, you should figure out a way to buy him out and force him to sell his shares to you, with the threat that you will pursue legal action if he doesn't agree. I think you would have the upper hand in this situation, because it would be the company against him personally, so you could use company funds for legal fees while he would have to use personal funds.

Not a lawyer, so consult one before you take action.
But you do need an alpine lake, with another body of water down below it to collect that water so it can be pumped back into the upper reservoir. The geography needed to built pumped storage is very specific. Simply saying that we can just build dozens of terawatt hours of pumped hydro is as nonsensical as saying we can just build more dams. Is that really so earth shattering to your world view?
If you have access to a portable hard drive that’s pretty doable. Looking online [1] it seems that they can usually transfer at 30 mb/s which means it’ll only take about 3-4 hours.

The conspiracy being the people (plural) in government who know that's a bullshit cover up and have colluded to keep the truth away from the public.
Yeah. I know Americans tire of hearing about the rest of the world on this issue, but truly the only sane way for this to be is where you go to the hospital and literally never see a bill.

This is how it is in Canada. Our politicians are currently busy fighting over dental, optical, and prescription drugs [1], and truthfully that's just as baffling— why should going to the dentist be any different than going to the hospital? Is getting eyeglasses somehow "elective"?

Sure, I suppose so, I'll agree that both factors are at play.

It has been objectively documented that anxiety has increased over the years, and I (And every other Tom, Dick and Harry) have subjective just-so-stories and complaints that will blame particular attributes of modern society on why more people are looking for these kinds of answers today than they were before.

> On the other hand, if the taxes are not included in prices then you will see which one has taxes at checkout and elect not to purchase the item with taxes, preferring the item without taxes.

Why would you care? Having taxes included in sticker prices doesn’t change how much it costs you, only what percentage goes to your government. The only situation where not including taxes is potentially useful is when you explicitly don’t want to pay taxes, but you’re still happy to pay a higher price, if it means less money to the government.

Also in Europe we have a very simple solution to this problem. Every price tag has two numbers. The number in big font includes taxes, the little number underneath is without taxes. If you’re desperate to avoid giving cash to the government, then you just need to find items with the smallest delta between the two numbers. Retailers are also obliged to display both numbers, and provide a tax breakdown on your receipt, so you penny pinch your taxes to your hearts content.

That would have been before my time. The first big instance that I can remember is the Killian Memos controversy during the Dubya administration, where Dan Rather wanted us to believe a document written in a proportional serif font with ligatures and superscripts which happened to match up to Microsoft Word's default typeface at the time was in fact typed on a typewriter in the early '70s.
Ha! it gave me a completely different answer involving Wireshark, MITM-Proxy and something else. ChatGPT saying different things in response to the same prompt semantics (same concept different answers) is expected, I guess.

I don't think it was truncated in your case. When you asked it again, it just added it.
You buy it from Amazon often because they have low prices and fast delivery. Inspecting every item would go against both of those things. So they don't do that.

> I got into the nastiest discussion on reddit where people were swearing up and down it was impossible to beat the compiler, and handwritten assembly was useless/pretentious/dangerous.

It _should_ be useless (for some reasonable definition of "should") — it just isn't in practice. And I'm continually amazed at how often people confuse one for the other, across all contexts. E.g. I have family members who refuse to consider that our justice system might have deep flaws, because to their mind if it should be some other way then it already would be.
It’s hard to believe this is “their most requested model” and not a cruiser.
In your monolith if you offload a request to a queue and have a background process processing the queue messages, what do you call that module processing messages? Is it a component of your monolith? I think a lot of teams would call it a microservice, I could see some people considering it a component of a service.

Unless you're confounding microservices w/ async architectures and saying to drop asynchronous patterns like this all together.
What makes Rad not a bike company?
They don't make high end bikes, but they do design and build their own bikes and run a network of shops.

If you go by share of profit from bikes versus other sources I would not be surprised at all if they get more than trek or specialized. Trek/Bontrager and Specialized are notorious in the bike industry for requiring dealers to move accessories if they want to stock bikes. They make a TON of money of accessories at this point
A bit off topic but it might be an idea to move away from men's nipples [1] as an example of redundant evolution. It's true to say often an evolution trait has no obvious reason, possibly the reason no longer exists.

Most every community have a tangle of a belief system outside of anything religious. Moving away from more obvious isms, I grew up surrounded by fierce ageism especially in regard to the dating set. As young adult I eventually realised it was another ism that was BS, but also realised its presence waxed and waned over a number of years - it's clearly a product of social interactions.

TLDR: Google research exploits wifi firmware of broadcom chip in iphone, then uses that to exploit a driver bug, and manages to root the iphone. All without even connecting it to a specific AP, just from broadcast packets.
In the early 1980s there was a time it seemed to hang in the air because all the clock rates in a micro were synchronized to the video scan. Steve Jobs had no idea the Apple ][ was going to last as long as it did so they came out with the the failed /// and the 128k Max that was really just an awesome demo.

It wasn’t until the mid 1980s that PC compatibles reached a place where you could buy a new computer that was exponentially better than the computer you bought 2 years ago but that was gone around 2005. Until then the smaller transistors were really faster and consumed less power but since then you mostly have more of them and moderate improvements in power consumption.
If the human body was as easy to fix as a car you might have a point.
In a weird way, it -does- make sense from a capability standpoint, if a bit ridiculous of a marketing standpoint.

Let's go full tin-hat and say I want to see where a car has been. By looking up the plate, I can get the registration. By getting the registration I can get Year/Make/Model/Trim. Now with that I can hit a dictionary of the 'best' data provider for that vehicle.

A proper sales conversation would ask for some matrix of covered vehicles, and use that to compare to what they already have in portfolio, possibly account for volume request discounts, etc...
Personally, I am not particularly excited for the next round of Moore's Law on CPUs. What else are we going to be able to accomplish if CPUs get twice as fast?

GPUs, however, are exciting. ChatGPT is cool now. Real time voice recognition is cool. But can they run on your phone? Seems like people will probably make improvements on the algorithmic side to these things, but we could really use improvements on the GPU side as well. When GPUs are twice as powerful as they are today, I think we'll notice.
This is super sweet! I dig that you can do this from the workflow itself
I work in CS education, and I've often wondered what this means for how we're preparing students. I don't teach frameworks or cloud services (and would be woefully under-qualified to do so), I teach the topics that have long been thought of as "foundational" for moving forward in computer science. The logic I've always clung to is that if students have a strong understanding of how to build things from scratch, they can apply that as they move towards more modern development tools. More and more I'm questioning the accuracy of that belief.

Perhaps we simply need to more clearly separate the goals of studying computer science from studying programming/development. For the time being, however, I'm left feeling like I may be doing students a disservice avoiding the reality of what "modern-day programming" has evolved into.
> Mexican food just not popular in the 70s in the US?

Definitely not in the NY and NJ area. There was one Mexican restaurant that I knew of in all NJ, and I never went there.

Don’t forget the “mustang”, another car named after a horse by Ford that was very popular.

Another reason police unions are entirely different, even from other public sector unions, is that the police are used to break strikes. They're structurally antagonistic to every other part of the labour movement.
You are kidding, right? As the poster above already noticed, this is a common as mud problem on bicycles and you should be able to replace these parts (and just about any non-electrical part on it) with a variety of choices from a variety of vendors. And "you" being "any bike shop" given this is a recall the vendor is expected to perform (or delegate) and pay for.

If you can't, the reality is you didn't buy a bike, you bought a bicycle-shaped object with proprietary components designed for the landfill.

I don't think they did used to look quite like this. They also didn't have the metallic element so were a more solid color, but they didn't have the same quality -- flat while still being glossy. The last two pictures of the old Porsche and BMW are what old cars looked like, and that's not the same as the "putty" look.
The Beginner’s Guide to Open Source Contribution
It kind of does, no? Would you want your recurring charge to fluctuate randomly just because the developer converts everything to their currency? Or what about getting screwed over and being charged an exorbitant price because you live in a poorer country and the developer wasn't considerate enough to add regional pricing based on your PPP?

You'd have to use a third party to remedy this but Apple handles it for you.
Are you suggesting that deterrents should be lesser than the crimes perpetrated ? If so, do you believe that we should start "investing" in criminal behavior as its perceived payoff is larger than the cost ?
