Accounts can be auto-killed via sufficient flags, plus some computational scoring I suspect.

I'll see and report spam accounts. The usual response is that those already were autokilled, or were killed shortly after I emailed (and prior to the moderators' response).

You'll also see dang occasionally commenting on autoflagged "green" (new) accounts. E.g.:

<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23686501>

<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10638699>

<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22377470>

An overview of how/when accounts are killed and what notice is given is here:

What kind of reasoning is this? It's OK to include outright falsehoods in your writing because the conclusions they support might be true?
It went from feudalism to more technologically advanced feudalism, and remains there today.
Yeah, but my mother is incapable of managing an address book or using a smartphone with those types of features.

In the past I told her to ignore every text message no matter how urgent or convincing it looks. Fortunately, she can't figure out how to read old messages so once a message times out and disappears from the screen she won't see it again.
That is definitely not true. As mentioned there is local bitcoins, atms, meetups, bisq, just to name a few options, were you can exchange bitcoin for fiat. The options are there, are used and are even mature.
That's a problem with the English language though. There's not a singular only version of "they" and there probably should be.
Does USB-C suffer from the problems with interference that USB 3 did?

Perhaps that could be harnessed into something more productive.
There's a comment on reddit by someone who claimed to be working on this when it was started - the entire program was to avoid paying money to Google for searches resulting in sales on Amazon, by making Amazon the first place to go instead of Google.

The companies shouldn't be storing it, full stop. I really hope they levy enormous fines, so much so companies are afraid to store much data, and punt that to a third party for liability reasons. That third party, in a perfect world, would by nature have to have some of the best of the best, and take this seriously.

My old boss was working in this space a decade ago. Private data brokers you control, that companies would have to ask for info, pending your approval and such. As you might imagine in the era of sell everything you can, the idea never took off.
I've been kicked out of a mall for not wearing shoes. I guess I should have kicked up a fuss.
Anyone have the paper link or a pseudocode of the actual algorithm? I assume it's somewhere in the article, but I swear I can't find it.
You need some new lies, these ones wore out.

Subsidy free PV is cheaper than marginal costs of thermal generation in an ever growing region, and panels are reaching cost parity with roofing and facade materials.

Snow also doesn't sit on a panel that is vertical and being used as a facade or fence (or just sitting in a paddock or field improving yields by reducing wind damage).
Congress acted swiftly to protect their video rental history. Blockbuster never had a major breach despite being available to store clerks.
While VPN's shouldn't be the only device, it seems like that should be part of any competent security posture. E.g. Jenkins should only be accessible from known VPN endpoint IP addresses.

Administrative IAM's should be IP restricted as well: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/iam-r...
Why don't they just start fining the c level execs directly, in addition to increasing fines?

Ha, yes I started with Borland too.

Before that we had to chisel our code into wooden tablets and feed them into a steam-powered Computing Engine.

OK, OK; there might have been some Atari BASIC and macro assembler in between those two.

Then there was Andersen Consulting's boot camp, where everyone had to learn COBOL. And yes, that was in the '90s.
I've found a few of these types of sites over time, and I find them pretty handy. This one gets added to the list!

There's Handgun Hero [1] for comparing ... handgun sizes, which is super handy when window shopping for something new, to compare it to something I already have.

There's Camera Size [2] which compares, you guessed it, cameras. Handy for the exact same reasons as the above. For a more technical comparison you can use DPReview's comparator [3].

The US dumped a lot less Marshall Plan money on West Germany than Britain, less than half.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plan

And yet the German Miracle happened in West Germany, not Britain.

And West Germany was practically leveled in WW2, unlike Britain.
It seems a stretch to call it a DD alternative when all the hard, and most important, bits are coming soon.
I use them for research. I've been doing a lot of work with NURBS lately for a side project and I often run across articles and papers that I don't yet understand enough of the math for, or I'm not at the stage of my project where the information will be useful yet. So I bookmark them for later.

My problem now is that I have so many bookmarks that it's becoming easier to re-Google the topic than to find that bookmark I swear I made 3 months ago...if only I could restrict a search engine to just my bookmarks...
This reminds me of a part in Barbara Demick's book Nothing to Envy, which is based on interviews from people who escaped from North Korea (emphasis mine obviously):

> A North Korean soldier would later recall a buddy who had been given an American-made nail clipper and was showing it off to this friends. The soldier clipped a few nails, admired the sharp, clean edges, and marveled at the mechanics of this simple item. Then he realized with a sinking heart: if North Korea couldn’t make such a fine nail clipper, how could it compete with American weapons? For one North Korean student it was a photograph in the official media showing a South Korean on a picket line. The photograph was meant to illustrate the exploitation of the worker in capitalist society; instead the student noticed that the ‘oppressed’ worker wore a jacket with a zipper and had a ballpoint pen in his pocket, both of which were luxuries at the time.

To the contrary, I appreciate azakai's enthusiasm for seeking solutions, and also credit the fact that they came up with exactly the same solution we used to mitigate the issue.
So the fact that she has gained access to this restricted list, has somehow granted you entitlement to it? Or are you implying that every person on that list should be doxed to satisfy your curiosity?
Have higher standards.
> financial companies are required to get reams of highly sensitive data to do KYC checks.

The real problem is that the data is considered sensitive in the first place. It's essentially publicly available data at this point and entities that want to extend credit to a particular individual should not be able to solely rely on that data to extend credit.

The law needs to be changed to allow an individual to sue creditors and credit bureaus for libel when they accuse them of failing to pay or defaulting on a line of credit.
I'm not surprised not one on HN cares about this, but will rant to no end about bitcoin's utility, it's peak HN ha makes silicon valley scrips write themselves.
Well, that's the personnel involved in the operation, and you need supporting personnel as well, and of course you need to be able to run these operations should anybody else get the same idea as the Czechs and the Hungarians...

I might be the odd one out, but I don't want diverse news sources and perspectives. I want a source I trust to inform me about things that matter from a shared perspective and ideology.
> in 1948 a working class person in the USSR not being able to afford a car had very little to do with the different economic models, but with the completely different situation of the two countries.

Japan at least didn't have many cars in 1948. This is a central part of Tokyo in 1946: https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8453/7975138441_b82cdd4372_b.j...

Note that “Datadog alternative” doesn’t appear in the readme, also without a metrics component is could hardly be considered a datadog alternative. Most of the features seem to be coming soon. Interesting nonetheless.
Given how bad the job market was, how did the current senior and staff engineers started their career about 20 years ago? How could they stand out from the sea of applicants?

Ditto. I got my undergrad after the dot-com crash and finished grad school before 2008. You've reminded me the bad old days. I was considering seriously to go back to my old profession established during my teenage years.

I got lucky to get my first real adult job from my grad school's industrial partner, which paid with peanuts. At least I kept a great credit score. My undergrad education was paid partly by my old profession's gigs. Grad school was tuition-free with a stipend.
Is there an easy way to understand how the lack of a reserve requirement doesn't turn banks into infinite money machines?

Edit: Perhaps banks are infinite money machines, but what consequences do banks face that prevent them from writing blank checks?
Possibly pretty survivable in the short term as long as a nuclear warhead doesn't go off very close to where you are. Just because you're in a major city doesn't necessarily mean you're a high priority target. (In nuclear war, there are what is called a "counter-force" strategy where you target military bases, and a "counter-value" strategy where you target things with the highest value to the defender like cities.)

In the short-to-medium term the issue becomes: can you stay underground for the next week or so until the sky stops emitting gamma rays? Cement and dirt are both good barriers, but you'll need food and water eventually.

I'd also wonder if the air might become unbreathably bad or too hot due to everything burning.

Hello, Re:Mart
What if you are a US citizen, and it has recently been discovered you have been secretly dealing arms to Russia against current sanctions. And while authorities do not currently know your location they suspect you will be flying to/from Russia very soon?

Should they let you know not to book a flight?
Allowing everybody, regardless of where they happened to be born, to play games is fine by me.

Saying that they "allow" that in particular is kind of a stretch. Profiles are just very lightly moderated, it's not that they particularly decided in favor of anti Ukrainian slurs.
Yes, but... we already have that. If quantum computing only provides a linear speedup, that can already be done with a conventional ASIC. I don't think it's a high bar for quantum computing to provide something that is not already commonly available. The real boon comes from at least quadratic runtime improvements.

To be clear, I'm not saying that linear speedup is an innovation comparable to the video card, I'm saying it _is_ a glorified video card or ASIC.
I've heard the litany of endless excuses why implementations of communism all failed, and endless rationales for why free markets succeed.

Why is it that nobody can point to a successful communist society, now or historically? At some point, one just runs out of excuses. Meanwhile, free markets undergo prosperity again and again and again.
It's not that society, or even we as HN commenters, have decided that "this is fine" because they weren't as blunt as they could have been, but they're minimizing the overall negative emotions. By having excuses and saying they're still donating $x a year, some percentage of readers who would have started to look for products elsewhere will instead go "sad, but the impact is minimal" and likely won't second-guess using Amazon for purchases.
And yet there are still breeches...
How exactly could a ban be carried out if none of the functionaries were aware the book was supposed to be banned? I would presume there would have to be a list of materials and probably a reason for their being banned for a bureaucracy to manage this kind of censorship.
I had the impression from the article that anyone could submit the form requesting information if they were so inclined; I just meant that most people probably only find out when they're denied. Then again, being 7 feet tall they might be doing you a favor.

If you really want to know shoot me an email.

Ask HN: Resources for organizing large prisma projects
We have a pretty big project right now based on Prisma. But the direct use of prisma everywhere has started to show its age. Theres no unified way to do validation, send a notification, other side-effects, etc. Prisma is still a little early on being able to augment the models. Computed fields barely work.

How are other folks organizing their projects to keep things sane?
That would be unusual, so you could probably report them for being a bot.

After all, Meta's TOS stipulates that you must provide accurate information about yourself, and that you cannot share anything that is misleading.

It also prohibits making groundless reports or appeals, so maybe you could take an eye for an eye it you get unfairly targeted.
Very cool. Is there a way to make the front and rear views overlap like the side view does?
What kind of source you are looking for that would actually be present if not some books and newspaper citations?
On top of recycling actually being a thing for PV and downcycling being a growing industry for wind blades, every solar panel and every wind turbine blade ever made would fit in a single year of tailings pit of a single open pit uranium mine like Husab.
The real issue with this error is not the panic of course - it's the fact that during a panic, C doesn't provide a canonical way of unwinding whatever actions have been performed so far. Rust (or even C++) do provide a bit more robustness in regards to handling errors in an unwindable way, but Rust and C++ probably aren't tenable solutions for the kernel in this case. It's far easier to add an oops limit and kiss this technique goodbye (hopefully!).
The Times article you've linked says the following (it has an earlier reference to the Grapes of Wrath, as well, so you need to read to the end for the relevant part):

> The Russians managed to obtain a print of "Grapes of Wrath" and displayed it widely, behind the Iron Curtain hoping to convey a harsh impression of the United States. But the main reaction, reported by our embassies, was: "In America even the tramps have cars"
Heh China, collaborate?

Do you think it is culturally okay in Communist China to admit wrongdoing? Hint hint, it isn't.

I put everything in a folder in iCloud.

Ideally, I would prefer the USA had universal medical ID cards which store medical history, like Taiwan does. That way I could just bring my ID card to any healthcare provider and know it will contain all my history.
It wasn't intended as a replacement for iTunes, it's a streaming service (iTunes was for music you wanted to own).

I think Apple Music turns 15 years old this year (released in iOS 1)...it hasn't come that far in all that time.
The argument is that Zelle helps you hand your friend a $20 and is secure in that context. If you use it out of that context you are using it “incorrectly”.
Why? When I worked in support and services at my big tech company, everyone below staff level had to have a roommate at our annual conference. My wife’s business encourages people to double up as well.
It should not provide information that the user did not enter. If you didn't enter your address it should not spit one back to you.

(Also, address is not a good way to identify most millenials, who move every 1-2 years. E-mail is a much, much more stable identifier than a sleeping location.)
I also realise I know you, we've chatted online before wave

Functional Programming Auckland? Have we met?
I believe that's still being done right now in Ukraine. (Not necessarily to protect from shock waves so much as it's to protect against an adversary being able to attack the trench from an optimal angle where it provides no defense.)
Down that far, I start to wonder if trinary circuits might become useful again.

fp4 with 1-3-0 would mean 27 values if the first bit were interpreted as binary. But--and an engineer should check me on this cause to me a transistor is a distant abstraction--I think you could double that to 54 values if you were clever with the sign bit and arithmetic circuitry. Maybe push it to 42 if only some of my intuition is wrong.
That's a lot of promises around the features coming soon... where the comparable features coming soon are otherwise achieved by whole projects which evolved over years. Unless they reuse an existing logs solution for example, I think they may be really underestimating the scope here. (Especially given close to 1 serious contributor to the repo over the last half a year)

Also, while checking out their page - you can't just slap a cookie banner on the website where "deny" sends you to Google and say you're GDPR compliant. GDPR explicitly says you need to provide the service anyway if the customer opts out of data sharing.
The funny part is that there are fairly stable internal (as in, 1p client but open to the internet) Twitter APIs that don't require authentication.
I loved the everything iTunes and never understood why people constantly complained about it. I knew exactly how I could get to anything.

Now, people got what they wished for: iTunes split into a million pieces, with every piece crappified in the process. Just yesterday Music automagically fetched some wrong album art for a track I added, and after adding the correct image, I couldn’t delete that wrong one for two minutes, until I suddenly could (I just kept pressing delete, god knows what was going on). Ugh.
Well maybe, if they didn't devote 25% of everything to keeping everybody under their thumb, they could maintain their living standards high enough for people to not want out?
Unfortunately I tried that. After 3 years of Hungarian classes, I had a peer that demanded I speak to them in Klingon because they identified as hypermasculine. Now I have to start over again.

Cool stuff!

More moving parts means more failures (as demonstrated), and in this case what they have has a (possibly very short, depending on their upcoming needs and how Google decides to re-verify them) time limit until they no longer have it.

So... sorta yes, sorta no. What they have is a ticking time bomb which goes off at the whim of a company that clearly does not care about them. That's not really "an authentication device" that anyone would willingly choose.
> It’s ran for over a decade, not a bad run.

How much captive audience whinging have we had to endure in that time? Twitter bans Joe Blow. Twitter should ban Joe Blow. Twitter shouldn't have banned Joe Blow. Twitter bans third party app. Twitter has too many bots. Twitter doesn't have enough bots. Twitter censors subject X. Twitter drowned a puppy (allegedly). Twitter releases feature Y (finally). Twitter demands phone numbers for better ad surveillance. Twitter makes new release that totally fucks over the way you use it. Twitter should support my desired usage pattern. Twitter stops software from working on older devices. And so on ad infinitum.

The breath of fresh air, which is actually just how things were before the web 2.0 catastrophe, is that libre software and libre services escape that centralized crab bucket. If you want a feature go ahead and build it, or donate to those who did/will. Or just wait, because rather than being a tug of war over what one piece of software should do, many different ones can bloom.

If you want the features a centralized service can bring, use a large server that implements them, which will develop over time. And if it turns out they just develop the same monetization pathologies that Twitter had, you can easily move on without changing everything. The less costs to switching there are, the easier it is to go your own way. That's the benefit of an open protocol.
Its funny how much having kids changes the equation. Back when I was single I borderline welcomed the apocalypse. Now thinking of a breakdown in civil society concerns me greatly.
I'm not sure what stronger sources you could expect than from embassies.

Travel wasnt as common or as free as it is today. Russian and Western societies were completely cut off. The only real sources you would have is word of mouth. The word of mouth was likely to be a reporter or an embassy worker. Otherwise the odd tourist, but I'm not sure how a tourist was supposed to gauge the impact of Grapes of Wrath in another country and/or why a tourist's word should be held above those of reporters/embassy workers.

The reality is that everything we know about life behind the Iron Curtain since it came down indicates that there is no reason this couldn't happen. Cars were extremely rare and expensive in the USSR. Cars were significantly cheaper and plentiful in the United States. The only point of contention is whether people living in the USSR watching a movie about the United States would be fascinated by the fact that even the poor in the United States had cars, something even middle class to rich people in the USSR could not obtain easily.

That seems a fairly narrow point anyways, whether true or not.
What are you talking about? The list is literally designed to harm those people. It's a no-fly-list. If anything, having it public could provide public pressure to get them off the list.
I've procrastinated working on my thesis for more than a year
If they didn't devote 25% of everything keeping everybody under their thumb, that would have shrunk their economy considerably if anyone actually escaped.

Which we eventually witnessed.
You're reading this as an apologetic for Soviet communism, when it isn't.

Here is the totality of the argument: comparing the immediate postwar economic outcomes of the US and USSR is intellectually embarrassing, because everybody here understands that they aren't comparable. If your goal is to demonstrate that capitalism produces prosperity, you can point to literally any other period after the postwar one.
Ask HN: How do manage your projects
I'm asking about non-work or business projects like, reorganise garage, setup home server, learn meditation, etc.

Not necessarily breaking them down and actioning them. But how many at a time do you work on? How do you prioritise them? Do you use software?
