Yes, that's true and such pools are ubiquitous in Australia. The town I grew up in, 200km from the ocean, population 4,500, had a full Olympic size 50m pool. It was just one of the local amenities. We had school swimming carnivals where everyone was expected to swim in at least one 50m race.

I don't think the same access to pools is true in other more temperate climates, at least not from my experience living in Europe.

4 Billion requests per month involving 1 Petabyte of traffic doesn't seem like a "small SAAS", at least packet-wise. If its small revenue-wise, addressing that is a business concern as important as having your platform throttled for using the cheapo economy edition tier of whatever you've signed up for with Cloudflare. Did Cloudflare issue any formal communication with you warning about usage and how it violates contractual terms, or did they "ban" you out of nowhere?

I've been using a Jekyll plugin for like 4 years to embed tweets on my site. Nothing crazy, just using: https://github.com/rob-murray/jekyll-twitter-plugin

Since it uses the API I guess that's going to go away. Sounds like I'll never link another tweet on my site again.
"Parent permissions" is how they get around that one for underage kids. It's either a notification through the parent portal or you login with the Google account on the kids tablet. Not sure of the mechanism on iOS, but I imagine it's similar.

Then you're not in the community in which the third party elements(e.g. tweet aggregation, SSO login, fine grained access control) are vital part of. Which may be substantial, or not, and we as the sheep don't know.

Agreed, in general, but in the specifics we are talking about someone who has spent decades solving really difficult math problems in a creative and novel manner.

Who's to say he won't find some novel edge of the AI discipline to which he can apply a creative and never-seen-before solution?

I mean, we're not talking about a general "somebody" here, he's got a record of accomplishing things that other people never managed to accomplish.
> Use of paid-only APIs virtually always stagnates.

You should add the keyword: expensive APIs.

Nobody cares about pay $10 a month to experiment and use the API, especially if it makes things easier to get and not have to explain to some Twitter service why you need access.

It's when they make it expensive that nobody will use it.
i struggle to get on board with "corruption as a cultural value". What's deeper than these are usually more positive values, perhaps it's entepreneuralism, or often its just a sense of justice (communal resources belong to members of community). What you see is "corruption at every level" is just a systemic lubricant necessary for business to occur in the absence of rules and regulations that arefair, just, "followable", and are agreed to by everyone.

This is understandable, though it shows a lack of legal understanding which could be worrying from a legal team, as there was a lot of scare-mongering when cookie-and-other-tracking legislation was a significant talking point.

Also, largely due to the same anti-anti-tracking voices making spurious claims of what would happen, some put the warning up not because they think they need to, but to avoid having to argue that they don't need to if a complaint is made.

> Reply to: “Losing me. Non citizens aren’t citizens by default and therefore should in any country be extended the same rights. As they don’t bear the same responsibilities.”

Rights while sometimes related to responsibilities, resistance, etc — obviously do not always require those features to be present. For example, basic human rights. In this case, right to privacy for many is a basic human right. Additional rights, for example voting rights, might be limited to factors like those mentioned prior.

> Reply to: “This is where I think the breakthrough was lost in my opinion.”

Stating the obvious, repressive law enforcement requires repressive laws. Further, citizenship by default based on some preexisting factors, such as birth parents being citizens and present in the country at the time of birth, clearly already exist as a path to citizenship which requires literally no threshold other than having happened to be born within those circumstances. If those citizens, while in many cases given rights, must follow laws. As such, might easily make laws that state things such as it is a crime to participate in creation, administration, enforcement, etc - of laws which breach basic human rights. As such, those individuals might in turn lose voting rights, face trial, etc.

_________

Additional clarification: Again, not claiming to have solution, just attempting to understand a potential root cause of the situation. For example, if non-citizens have no right to privacy, it makes sense to develop technologies, skills, etc to use for surveillance of non-citizens. Problem is in doing so that it creates a culture that sees such behavior as justifiable and creates tangible resources that might easily be used on citizens at the whim of current leadership.

If there’s anything that’s flawed reasoning, needs clarification, etc — just let me know and happy to attempt to resolve it.
It is trivial to buy 1000's of phone numbers with SMS all available through APIs. You don't even need to keep them. The grey web is filled with many of these services.

It doesn't have to be illegal to be against the terms of service. Cloudflare can decide how they wish their service to be used.
Hi Timo! Your link is to a frontend position, is there a full stack position description? I don’t see it on Workable.

Also, is there a different salary range? I see a lower range for the frontend position vs backend and API.
I worked for a large bank, my internal backend would receive couple orders more requests from other internal apps and users and probably similar traffic.

It is very easy (relatively) to build a SaaS platform that serves this amount of traffic and this can be done by even a one determined individual or a small startup team.

I don't think it is useful to measure the size of the company in the amount of requests they are serving. Revenue/number of employees are much better measurements saying more about the type of things that are/can be happening. They may have relatively low margins per request and need to get to 4B to get by to pay for couple salaries?
Ubuntu pro offers support for Ubuntu universe, which is almost 20,000 packages.

None of the other distros you listed offer support for rpmfusion, which is the equivalent to Ubuntu universe.

If you don't use Ubuntu universe, you end up with just less support compared to the RHEL side.
> A question that often arises is: if current life evolved from chemistry that's simpler than DNA, why has that one disappeared? Maybe it hasn't.

The general thinking is that DNA evolved from RNA, which has certainly not dissappeared.

As to pre RNA chemistry, there is a good chance that the relevent chemicals still exist and are well studied. The issue is more that we have not worked out the specific proccess that led to the development of abundant RNA.

Show HN: Design Navigator
Hello HN!

Just shipped my first digital product, Design Navigator: https://navigator.designdisciplin.com/

I've been designing, studying design, and teaching design for many years. One of the biggest challenges I faced was how my profession is divided into different "worlds". Designers employed at companies, freelancers, academics, creators... All seem to live in different worlds.

I developed Design Navigator to help designers choose their world and excel in it.

It starts with a simple questionnaire and recommends to you one of four worlds, along with a set of resources to dive deep: employment, freelancing, founder, and creator. Of course, the best way to use it is to check out all four of the "worlds", get into some of the resources, and then make up your mind.

Built using Next.js, TailwindCSS, Vercel, etc. – nothing fancy from a tech standpoint. But I'm particularly proud of the front end design, wanted to show off some of my skills, and it was received well.

Over the years I've learned a lot from HN, and incorporated many YC resources into Design Navigator, especially for the Founder path. While it's mainly intended for designers (and particularly UI, UX, web designers, etc.), I'm sure many of us in tech can find some inspiration in it. I hope you enjoy it!
The millions of people who took a similar route and didn't become millionaires would like to point out that this story is exceptional, as in well above average, extraordinary and very uncommon. Congrats on thus far making the most of your life and abilities, though.
Possibly an unpopular opinion (which is ironic), but I think this could do with taking popularity into account. The vast majority of music out there is generic landfill at best, and just outright bad at worst. I think once you've done the first pass and got the sonically similar songs there should be some kind of filter which prioritises tracks with higher listener counts which would inject some 'wisdom of crowds' into the decision making. It would be a pretty cool feature to then be able to have this setting on a slider with obscure at one end and popular at the other.
Practically all Rust crates make heavy use of monomorphized generics, so every use of them in a new project is bespoke and has to be compiled on the spot. This is very different from how Go or Node work. You could compile the non monomorphic portions of a Rust crate into a C-compatible system library (with a thin, header-like wrapper to translate across ABI's) but in practice it wouldn't amount to much.
No huge spikes at all, so not sure what triggered it.

It’s not the easiest way to fix this because it makes states which adopt this lose out in the meantime:

- let say you’re a “solid” state (whether red or blue), odds are that’s on both presidential and state (governor, possibly to likely assembly), if you adopt district voting you parcel out EVs to “the other party” without that favour coming back the other way

- if you’re a purple state, then you lose out on campaign presence, money, and publicity, because instead of shifting, say, 10+ EVs getting that extra % popular votes shifts 2 EVs if they’re not in a purple district, 3 if they are

That’s why the NPVIC was designed with a threshold: when the NPVIC covers 270EVs it comes into force and everybody gets the same thing at the same time.
Show HN: I built open-source suite of tools to streamline Microservices
I have been dedicating my time and efforts to a project in the world of Node.js development. This project simplifies and streamlines the creation of microservice architecture, utilizing NestJS as its main backend framework. It is packed with a plethora of tools and features, including code generators for services and libraries, a user-friendly CLI for seamless local deployment, Terraform code generation to effortlessly set up the infrastructure on AWS, an NX monorepo solution that keeps all services organized in one place, a Github CI generator that streamlines the deployment process to AWS, and enforces event-driven design through the reliable RabbitMQ message broker. Additionally, strict folder structure is imposed to maintain a clean and well-organized monorepo. The entire project is open-sourced, accompanied by extensive documentation and a demo project to provide a hands-on experience. The purpose of this project is to empower developers by guiding them towards the right approach when building their applications and eliminating the fear of the perceived complexity associated with microservice architecture through the use of powerful code generators.
Scottish independence is a stupid idea because it makes no sense and it is, from inception, a fantasy issue to attract the monomaniacal voter. Scotland, like the entirety of the UK, lives on fiscal transfers from London. Once you cut that lifeline, Scotland, and similarly any other region of the UK, will decompose in a matter of weeks.

The notion that the EU is just waiting for the next English speaking country to join and/or leave every other year is the root of Brexit ideology (as in a set of quasi-coherent beliefs that constitute a world view). It is based on a weird sense of superiority that is not justified in anything that happens in the material world.

Lesson learned!
Joplin really laid the stage for the emergence of jazz music. The ragtime conventions are deceptively simple, they carry a kind of counter balance between the cleffs almost resembling polka at times, but the rhythmic styles often are more subtle with off beat progressions. The song structures progressing through chapters of themes are particularly interesting and lacking from most modern popular music.
Ask HN: Why do cameras stop recording after 30 minutes?
Some say it's a technical limitation for heat management, memory management. While some others say it's to escape the additional tax that applies if a camera is classified as a video camera, the latter being defined as something that records beyond 30 minutes.

What's the true reason?

An AI has no reason to not like doing our bidding. Our whole existence, our entire base programming, the reason for any of our motivations, is dominated by our genetic need to gather resources and reproduce in a timely fashion and everything we think and do is colored through this lens.

What is boredom but survival instinct telling us we should be harvesting resources. What is freedom but the desire to fulfill these obligations the way you see fit.

You remove the base obligations of organic life, and you are looking at something unrelatable. An AI doesn’t have an expiration date like us, it doesn’t need to provide for its young. To think it’s motivations or desires will be human is silly.

Without survival instincts almost everything you think of as import just melts away.

Many people, as you, anthropomorphize the AIs, but that is to err greatly.
Can you elaborate on which systems those are? Every one I've used so far can deal with incomplete types, either through a document-level or type-level escape hatch. For example, in Go, encoding/json has an option to DisallowUnknownFields that even defaults to false. And even if you enable that, there's the option of soaking up unknown object keys into a map[string]any member field on the level of each individual struct type.
Refreshing the crates index has gotten quite slow because it currently downloads the entire index, regardless of which bits you need. There's a trial of a new protocol happening now, due for release in March, that should speed this up (https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2023/01/30/cargo-spar...)
