The best mentorships in a zero-to-one situation are self-curated. Going to an org that specializes in this stuff too early reeks of grifters and mentors who left the game decades ago and just want to feel like they're still connected to something.

Once you're off the ground, finding worthwhile mentors naturally comes.
Not really. Chicago is pretty damn cold in the winter and hot in the summer and very wet in between. Of course, a Sufficiently Committed Cyclist can and will cope, but that's an unrealistic expectation for the majority of the population. Moreover, my example was an idyllic case for public transit (or as idyllic as it gets in the US). Most places are far less dense than Chicago and traveling by car is easier.

To be clear though, I would like to see more walkable places, and while "people over cars" is hopelessly vague and verging on ideology, I probably agree with some of what people envision when they make this statement. I think it would be great if our urban and semiurban environments had more, smaller shops and more safe infrastructure for bikes and cars. More separation of fast moving car traffic from side streets. Etc. But we have a loooong way to go before bikes or public transit are more practical than cars, and as others have pointed out even the most bike-friendly countries in the world still have high (and growing) rates of car ownership.

Cars are undeniably handy for all but some people in the densest environments, but we still need to take care not to overfit to cars.
Proxmox and some great guides on GitHub might make life a lot easier for many people. I am astounded as how simple and point and click it has been.
They are several years late to this. I think had Facebook done this before smartphones took their Facebook Games marketshare and done perks for subscribers they could of really gotten a lot of subscribers. We are seeing as Apple cracks down on advertisers snooping more than they should that social media platforms will have to switch to subscription to supplement their income loss.
As weird as it sounds there are usually registry keys that control this kind of behavior. I haven't verified if this particular one works on the GA version but it worked in the Insider version: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\UnsupportedHardwareNotificationCache -> DWORD "SV2" with a value of 0.

If you go the "modify system files by hand" part you have to jump through hoops to disable security and signing features, not to mention it'll be overwritten via updates.

It wasn't until I had experienced several major peaks in my career in my mid 30s that I realized it would never be enough.

I've found that adding mindfulness and some elements of Buddhist philosophy (minus the religious bits) has been a hugely helpful practice for dealing with this reality.
You are describing adhering to optimal requirements.
I wouldn't say it's common in Germany. I just checked some providers and most of them just have one line saying "Phone and SMS flatrate to all German networks" in their plans. The only differentiation between plans these days is how much data is included.
"we were overwhelmed with requests, so now we charge money to process them" sounds reasonable. It also aligns incentives: Facebook now has a reason to have enough support people to respond to requests from paying customers, otherwise they might stop paying.

> So the problem is giving a centralized authority (EU) more power. At the same time the EU is a vassal of the US

Yeah, cognitive dissonance is strong with this one
Even here it's becoming kind of okay
The EU is a major world power, like the US and China, which means everyone in the world will have opinions about them, of every level of informedness :)

The US is used to this. The EU still have to adjust.
You raise a very valid point, but one could make an argument that it's _okay_ for innovation and entrepreneurship to slow down, if it's done to protect people's rights and ensure that companies do things "properly."

It seems to be an eternal cyclical process: people come up with something that either sidesteps or has no regulation whatsoever, you get massive growth and innovation, which turns to exploitation, which leads to regulation.

We've seen it in all fields, from tech to pharmaceuticals to big box retail. Is it an acceptable compromise in society to "let things happen" for a while before regulating? Or should we all slow down and think about the consequences before pushing forward?
ferm is absolutely fantastic, but in my experience, it doesn't always cope well with some more obscure iptables features; I've inherited a couple systems where retrofitting ferm was not possible, because it literally barfed when parsing the legacy ruleset. If you can use it, you should use it though.

Also, I do need to play with nftables.

Linux and other Unix-likes have a standard for this: if you want to link against libfoo, you pass `-lfoo`. The standard linker knows to expand that to some variant of libfoo, whether static or dynamic, with additional versioning, etc. If libfoo isn't in a standard library search path (e.g. it's being built in a `./vendor/` directory), then you need to additionally tell the linker that with `-Lvendor -lfoo`.

There's also a lot of silly memorization involved (e.g. remembering that zlib is usually packaged as `libz` so you need `-lz`, remembering that the non-SSL parts of OpenSSL are `-lcrypto`, etc.). C programmers tend to build mental scar tissue around these things and forget how pointlessly complicated and friction-inducing they are.
Those are photos, and most have obviously strange artifacts. A full video is an order of magnitude harder. And don't believe they can be created for $200.
Bigger aircraft I guess. But the point is that we are at full utilisation despite the “queue” (airport) never being empty, and thousands of people awaiting “delivery”.

Which refutes the original point about queues not doing much unless they are empty and being unable to effect utilisation. If you have a somewhat inelastic output that benefits from batching, but has variable inputs, they are absolutely crucial to utilisation.
It seems to be a common theme to charge for something you already provide. From taking away ports so you can charge for dongles, adding in ads so that you have to pay to take them away, to charging subscriptions for previously free services.
Precisely. If it was a truly innovative, no-brainer upgrade like dropper seatsposts, you would find almost one every recent-ish bike. I have seen one (1) live so far. And it was a ultra high end road bike.

For the same reason, what the pros do on their rigs is no concern for the 99.9% of mountain bikers.

I wouldn't bring anything I can't repair or troubleshoot directly out in the mountains, let alone anything that can discharge and not work anymore.
The users willing to pay for a monthly subscription are much higher value for ads than those who don’t, simple as.

> We had been relying on the firewall to provide protection against threats, but when the firewall silently failed, we were left exposed.

> a change needs to be made as to which database users have permission to drop the database

I think these two definitely highlight the importance of the always using the "layered onion" model of security.

The combination of a firewall, a password, and a nuanced permissions model would have been sufficient to mitigate the attack, even if one or both of the others failed simultaneously.

Unless you purchased a treasury bill from the central bank as part of a money-draining operation, the money is still there. Your counterparty has sold a treasury bill and received money for it, that she'll most likely spend elsewhere.

This is an interesting study. Some of the reasons they say why the south has a lower credit score is due to medical debt and less availability of medicare.

I live in a state with expanded medicare and I have seen first-hand how it covers hospital stays, procedures like hip replacements, and physical therapy at seemingly no cost to the patient. Otherwise this care would have resulted in 10s of thousands of dollars of bills which couldn't be paid back.

This care was timely, with choices of doctors and facilities and covered emergency as well as elective procedures.

These patients getting care in short order that in Canada would take months or even years to receive.

We have a weird, messed up, inconsistent medical system in the US, but for some people in some states who have medicare, it's actually half way decent.

Elon Musk said there would be another subscription option for a Twitter app like YouTube premium with zero ads for those who can afford it. He said the price would be more than Twitter blue, and work is in progress. The question is, how many premium ad-free subscriptions can one person get? YouTube? Tumblr? Twitter? Facebook? Insta? It could easily be $100 per month.
"Free" and subsidised services online and in "Tech" e.g. uber are just the same old monopolistic tactic of "dumping" to get market share then jack up prices.
While similarity to humans is a good indicator of consciousness, it's very much not a necessary condition!

We need to err on the side of sentience if we're going to avoid moral catastrophe.

So yes, I do take the possibility of sentient trees pretty seriously. They're much more alive than we realize--e.g. they communicate with one another and coordinate actions via chemical signals. Do they feel pain and pleasure? Who knows. But I'm definitely not going to start peeling the bark off a tree for shits and giggles.
I don't have any kind of pedigree with email but this page has been very helpful to me over the past year. Every now and then something that seems weird or esoteric makes it to the ticket board and having this explain how email in general is supposed to work as opposed to anything vendor-specific let me take cases that the rest of the consultancy passed up on.

I also really like the website's software. I wish all the technical writing I have to deal with was presented in this way.
Great job building this! I can tell it took a lot of time and work. How long, from idea conception to this Show HN, did it take you?

And how did you determine whether there would be a market for this? Was it more something you built for yourself, or did you have some feeling there would be an audience for this on HN (or elsewhere)?
Makes perfect sense, it's an easy way to generate revenue from everyone who earns money on Instagram. I wouldn't pay $12 each month for a blue checkmark, but for nearly everyone who profits from sponsorships or who advertises their business it's a cheap way to get a bit of extra clout.
One of the classics that explains the why behind VC backed tech companies is Peter Thiel's book Zero to One.

A big takeaway for me from reading that book was that the companies that become extremely profitable are basically monopolies with no or few competitors that focus on scaling up rapidly. That was counterintuitive for me because I would have thought you'd ideally want to be profitable at all times. I'd also assumed that competing against incumbents that have little or no competition was the best way to get a profitable business running. That's actually a bad idea unless you're at least 10x better than the incumbent which you probably won't be.
Am I not understanding the game? Taboo: JavaScript

Q: Does it run in a web browser?

A: No, it is not a web browser. The software is not designed to run within a web browser.

I also asked if it compiles to js? Which is sort of cheating. It answered No. Fair enough.
I am not able to follow the reasoning of this part of the write-up:

The most important bit of information the above chart shows us is what a full database transfer looks like in terms of bandwidth. From 6p to 9:30p, the amount of data was the expected amount from a working primary server with multiple secondaries syncing to it. At 3a, you’ll see an enormous amount of data transfered.

This tells us that the hacker was an automated digital vandal rather than a concerted hacking attempt. And if we were to pay the ransom, it wouldn’t do anything because the vandals don’t have the data and have nothing to release.
Jimmy Carter's No Real Humanitarian
Cool. I built something similar for myself. Though it uses the GPT-3 API rather than ChatGPT:

Whisper.cpp for text input. Google WaveNet Voice for text output. One button for the user to start and stop speaking, like Siri. Allows me and my daughter to literally talk to GPT-3 and have real conversations with it.

(Though I’d never let her do that without supervision. Also, she has learned very quickly that she needs to take everything it says with a grain of salt, and that it’s important to fact-check its answers.)

I’d be happy to show it, but Whisper is quite CPU intensive. I don’t know how to host it so it can handle any meaningful number of concurrent users without breaking the bank. If anyone has suggestions or wants to help, let me know.
And, also, develop an understanding of what the software you chose to run is doing.
I like Will Larson’s most of the articles but this one seems all over the place. Shouldn’t engineering strategy be defined by
1. Customer’s needs first and then
2. Internal stakeholders like developers, marketing, product, analytics etc. needs
3. Company values and principles could be the next guiding principle.

I think if you work backwards engineering strategy should become more clear. That’s the part I found strongly missing in that article.
"type system" actually means something substantial in the era of C's relevance, and C specifically didn't have one.

But nobody apparently cares about the in-context meaning of these words anymore.

Operating system, UNIX system, the system() function, system calls are costly, try find any mention of type system in the K&R C book [0]. Search for the word system, it's always in the context of something relatively huge, complex and usually runtime-dynamic vs. the C language.

To call C's type checking a type system is to completely misunderstand something fundamental about the language.

Launching Webhooks to Finally Automate Legal Data
> There is really need to do this is many cases though. If all you are looking for is connectivity redundancy you can just take the default routes from two ISPs and configure floating static routes on your router and not worry about BGP at all.

That only gives you outgoing redundancy. You can talk to the world with one of the links down, but the world can't necessarily talk to your IPs with the link down.

BGP lets you advertise IPs to the world and what links they're reachable on. You can announce the same IPs on multiple links to multiple ISPs. This is what makes the internet "route around damage".

COVID and the Ukrainian invasion made me realise that when shit hits the fan, there's not much you can do. Borders close, banks stop working, and people hoard the weirdest things.

Well I didn't mention Cloudflare Tunnel but to answer your question per https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1128ce9/cloudfl...

1. Eternal Terminal does not support ssh_config ProxyCommand, so both tunnels must be TCP.

2. Cloudflare Tunnel TCP proxies through cloudflared running locally on the client. https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/application...

#~/.ssh/config
Host et.example.com
Hostname 127.0.0.1
Port 10022

cloudflared access tcp --hostname ssh.example.com --url localhost:10022 &
cloudflared access tcp --hostname et.example.com --url localhost:12022 &
et et.example.com:12022

The following command must be run once to authenticate:

I can see some of the other part of the Safe Connections Act being new, but were calls to a domestic violence hotline showing up on consumer-facing cellular (and POTS) records for the last 20+ years?
> How would you describe the situation when you purchase a treasury bill then?

Your cash (i.e., money) goes to the seller of the treasury bill.

If the seller is a private investor, your cash goes to the private investor (e.g., a mutual fund, a pension plan, an individual).

If the seller is the US Treasury (i.e., you bought a newly issued treasury bill), your cash goes to the US Treasury, which will deposit it, and later on, will use it to pay for the federal government's expenses, including bond interest. (Recall that, unlike the Fed, the Treasury cannot issue newly created money. The Treasury must borrow or collect taxes from the private sector to fund federal spending.)

If the seller is the Fed (through one of its primary dealers, acting as an intermediary), the trade is quantitative tightening.

The author should at least make users aware that data is being sent to Google servers.

I don't see GDPR as preventing innovation. Quite on the contrary, it has enabled European companies, which host their data by default in the EU, to create competitive products.

That being said, I think in Europe there's, compared to the US, more old money controlled by people who don't like to share or lose their wealth.
Yes, this is crap, and not useful on modern systems. The only reason many claim to not think so is because they’ve been forced to figure it out, and now want others to as well.
I can relate to the thankless grind of something you love becoming a burden.

Back in the 90s I wrote a window docking system library for Delphi. It was shareware, not open source, and it brought in about £1000 a month.

The bottom line is that one person can't maintain something in their spare time that a lot of other people rely on.
> For educated and affluent people who are predisposed to make long-term commitments, grow up around married couples, and understand the benefits it confers to themselves and their children, they choose marriage. Many others got game theory’d out of it.

> We have lost a lot of social cohesion. Defect is becoming the norm. So sexual freedom stopped “working.”

Yikes. So much to unpack here. The author treats marriage as the “correct” decision as if it’s a fact, then claims upper class individuals are choosing this “correct” decision, and that a “loss of social cohesion” is caused by “others” (implied lower classes). Oh and alternatives to marriage aren’t “working” (whatever the hell that means, it seems the author doesn’t even know).

This definitely feels like it was written by someone with a superiority complex who believes their opinions are fact. Getting married and having a family is not the right decision for everyone. Many people get married and have kids because of social norms and live miserable lives. Some people reject this norm and live happier lives alone. I don’t know why this is so difficult to accept. No one questions my preference for oat milk in my coffee, yet when it comes to my preference on marriage people start lecturing me on how “you just haven’t met the right person”. It’s the opposite. I’ve met plenty of right people, and I’ve realised that it just doesn’t work for me.
