I checked cloudflare's website, and apparently there's a phenomenon I wasn't really aware of (although I did use Google's DNS server a long time ago): they have their own DNS server.

what are you doing that led to this error? I'm curious. I didn't see it on GoDaddy's site.
there's nothing stopping you from taking it. this happens in many countries where there's little rule of law.
News of shootings makes people believe that those other people shouldn't have guns, but they need them themselves for that very reason. I am convinced there is no way out.
Just tried it, it locks my phone as expected.

> I don't know whether my brain was sufficiently re-wired by those 9 months of pills or what, but it's a bit strange to me that essentially every psychiatrist would have insisted something like this was impossible.

Bipolar disorder disappears in some people spontaneously. Around 10% of people who have a first bipolar episode will not go on to have a second one, even if they permanently discontinue medication. And some people who have a second episode will never have a third, even if they stop taking medication, although I don't have an actual statistic on that. Let's suppose it is 1% of all bipolar cases – which is a figure I just made up, but probably in the right ballpark. Since bipolar is around 1% of the population, people like you would be around 0.01% of the population. That sounds insignificant, but in a country like the US there would be over 30,000 people like you, and worldwide could be over 700,000.

I think the psychiatrists who told you this is "impossible" probably knew that it actually wasn't. It is just that it is rare, and they don't want to give patients and their families false hope or encourage non-compliance with treatment, so instead of telling you the truth that it is 10% or 1% or whatever of all cases, they tell you a "white lie"/"simplification" that it is 0%. 90-99% of the time, their lie turns out to be true for the person they told it to.

In terms of whether 9 months of medication "rewired your brain" – it is impossible to say. It is possible that without medication you would not have gone into remission, and would have had further episodes. It is also possible that you were always going to remit anyway, and still would have even without medication. Nobody really knows. The fact is, for just about all psychiatric disorders, our knowledge of what causes them, and how the medications work, is extremely incomplete, and we don't know enough to answer those questions in individual cases.
Zig hasn't reached 1.0 yet, but in my experience, it's stable enough to write code that has to be maintained long term.
I A. Don't see significant similarity between welding and programming B. Think that you would be wrong about people being annoyed about things that make their work harder across any time period.

The difference is how people expressed those emotions or not, not whether they had them.
For a moment I though you were talking about Michelin stars, and I got confused.

By default all deleted photos/videos go to "recycling bin" for 30 days and then get completely deleted. But one can go there and completely delete it earlier. After that it's most likely impossible to recover it. There's also a chance it might've been uploaded to cloud but deleted only on the device.
Ask HN: Leaving a dead-end job for a new challenge. Looking for tips and advice
Hi there, I'm looking for some advice and thoughts.

I have stayed at my job (major European bank) for 4 years, and essentially lost these years. It is way too long when you consider that it is a dead-end job. I have stayed because it was simple, hours very good, and nobody bothered me. But since day one I felt I didn't belong.

Unfortunately software engineering jobs do not pay that much here. I here a lot of people here talking about being in a FAANG with top salaries and doing nothing. I'd be doing that too, but in my case the pay is far from top, and possibilities of raises and promotions essentially zero.

I am also not doing software engineering, but more project management. And even in this role, I manage very little. I do not handle budgets, define deadlines or what not. I simple receive the project plan that someone else has done (most likely another contractor) and just have to talk to software contractors to make sure they meet the deadlines.

I feel like I do not add value and my job is worthless. I needed a change.

I have dediced to take a risk.

I have put in my notice (1 month) and accepted a job offer for a remote startup.

During the interviews I've been really transparent. I have 2 years of backend coding experience (node.js), but haven't done it professionally for 4 years. But I am willing to challenge myself because I like doing the techincal part, and actually solving problems.

They also know that I am not familiar with the tech stack they use, but again, very eager to learn.

So, on one hand I feel good that they went along with me anyways. Maybe I just cost less of others, but I like to think that also my positive approach made an impact.

On the other hand, I am a little scared and I would definetly take some advice and tips from more seasoned people from this community, on how to face this change, how to approach the upcoming challenged, and how to get ready.

Thank you very much!
People in the US care a lot about their flag and their anthem (and their precious abstract 'Freedom'.)

Many people around the world care about their national football team doing well in the world cup.

If you can understand why those symbols are important, perhaps you can see why the monarchy might be an important symbol for some Brits?
There are several different configuration options.

A ~3 second hold of vol+power brings up the emergency call screen, and also locks the phone.

If you keep holding for longer, it starts a countdown to call emergency services unless you release in time (I'm not going to test to see what that limit is)

You can also configure so that 5 button presses calls emergency services.
…and it also disables FaceID. Source: just tried it.

Holding the power and volume up buttons also works and is arguably easier.
To me, a newspaper combining those groups says "most Britons in favour of a monarchy with some power, but we don't want to admit that" more than anything.
> An electric top requires you to actually move the pan off the burner to somewhere else

Is this true of induction? I've never used induction for anything more complicated than pasta, but I would have thought that since the surface (basically) doesn't get hot, turning it off would function the same way as a gas stove.
You know the saying beggars can't be choosers? We are currently begging for transparency.

The filtering process by independent journalists is the only actual recourse I can think of to solve this. Exfiltrating confidential documents is usually not a process that gives you a lot of time to sort out what is worth it or not, furthermore the volume of data might very well also be a problem to handle on your own.

Consider the time it took a lot of journalists to find the pertinent documents in this specific case among about 200,000 leaked documents (of various lengths), when Snowden is thought to have exfiltrated 1.7 millions documents.
it does trigger a suggestion for calling an emergency number, however when you cancel that suggestion, it locks the phone back in a way that requires the pin to unlock.
Lol, this is a funny one to me--a meta-conspiracy theory, that the more outlandish conspiracy theories are plants by an unnamed organization to serve as a smokescreen
Stay away Inners...
Given how insane voters are, it's really a pleasant surprise that politicians are as sane as they are.
I don't doubt that something fishy happened, but I also think that the repetition of those occurrences are something that fuels the fires of baseless conjecture. There is no comparison to a baseline. How scrupulous are the guards on a typical basis? What were the existing uptime statistics for the cameras?

Any statistics for noncompliance at any sizable organization are going to be non-zero due to the law of large numbers. That is just evidence that they exist and do things. The baseline for comparison here shouldn't be zero, it should be the normal statistics for compliance.
I am on the same page, for whatever reason everyone is fragile now, and we need to make all efforts to avoid breaking things into thousands of broken glass pieces.

This whole feel good censorship feels no different from the old days, when my previous generation had to measure every single word, not that PIDE/DGS were going to be made aware of it.
I would say the USA (where I grew up and still live, which doesn't make me a expert, mind- these are mostly just feelings) is also a victim of neoliberalism[0], and that people who revere President Reagan (USA) and Prime Minister Thatcher (UK) are generally selfish and inconsiderate of (what I see as) the importance of other life on earth whether or not we can directly benefit from it.

College in the US is generally not competitive. That is, learning is available to almost anyone who cares to learn. The community college system is very cheap. Only four years are expensive.

The debate about admissions into the top highly selective colleges is purely about who gets into the gates for networking opportunities and signaling (of the 1000+ colleges, affirmitive action impacts probably less than 100). So don’t confuse this with actual opportunity to learn.

Further, financial aid generally is race blind. It’s only admission at these top schools where affirmitive action plays a role. So if your parents were in the US they could’ve been educated long ago. The only question is if it is at Harvard or Tennessee State.

Hello there! The author of the article is here.

The main goal of this is to explore the potential of modern CSS in building such a layout. I agree that some of the features aren't supported yet, but that will become better over time. The article shed light on things like container queries, fluid sizing.. etc.
Insider trading involves trading that violates a fiduciary responsibility. That is: you work for a company owned by shareholders, and you trade based on information you have as a consequence of that employment, harming the shareholders.

Without that fiduciary responsibility, it's not insider trading, it's just trading. If you overhear someone with inside information talking about some inside knowledge, then trade based on that, you're in the clear (as long as you didn't collude with the leaker.)

Do you happen to have a source on that? I don't recall that being mentioned in the books I've read so I'm rather curious.
MLC-LLM: GPT/Llama on consumer-class GPUs and phones
You can train GPT 2 on whatever you want, it will give you the wrong answer for everything.

The real magic arrived with GPT3, which is proprietary, so it's fair to assume your audience understands this and imply it.
My experience with GNU Radio was that it was a construction kit for creating receivers. But, yeah, that's not the kind of intuitive front end I was thinking of.

There’s a number of policy decisions they made to sacrifice the wealth of the school / professors and care deeply about conflicts of interest. For example, any patents you get/inventions you make are your property for professors and students. Professors there are actively allowed to fight textbook fees like teaching from their own material. They’re often prohibited from benefiting if it’s their own book (I think they can give it away at cost or marginal markup). The students are not particularly affluent so there’s a good hacker culture going on (necessity breeds creativity). Engineering exams have a formal exam bank (can’t remember if student run or university sponsored) and give you all historical exams for that subject. This ensures that professors can’t just keep reusing the same material which would otherwise help students cheat by getting previous years exams (vs actually learning the material). There’s a focus on a mix of individual study / evaluation and group work. There’s also the famous co-op program that they pioneered that everyone is trying to mimic that connects them to industry. I think in the CS and maths departments they do a good job training for international competitions to get that prestige up. They also had really talented educators that really cared about getting kids to have fun in the first year (attrition rates would be a lot worse if the brutalism started early).

At this point it’s a reinforcing flywheel just like it is with MIT, Stanford, and Berkeley. I think they went with a different route though. They give minimal scholarships and afaik they don’t go out of their way to recruit wunderkids.

I suspect there isn’t any single answer / magic secret. They just built a good culture centered around teaching kids STEM effectively, kids and parents recognized it quickly enough which created natural competition to get in until it became a flywheel effect.
I can't think of any way in which he could recover his reputation.
I quite like the idea of replacing the royals with a family of lions, and keeping all the laws otherwise the same.

> You might expect that if you believe in the law of supply and demand, but as we were discussing, that is not how prices are actually formed, and anyone betting based on observed supply and demand (to the extent that it is actually possible to observe them) will be beat in general by others who are betting based on current speculation, which is how prices are actually formed.

But we do see prices approach optimal. Your argument is predicated on the idea that the law of supply and demand is only a useful model if the actual price always follows observed supply and demand. But for that to ever be true, it would require speculators to have a crystal ball, otherwise there’s no reason to believe the speculated price will always match the “optimal” when the point in time being speculated about actually occurs.

The law of supply and demand tells what market systems will trend towards. But like complex control system, having a governing idea about long term trends doesn’t mean momentary perturbations don’t occur, it just helps you understand what the system will do after the perturbation.

To claim that the law of supply and demand is useless, is like claiming that Hooks Law is useless for understanding how suspension systems in cars work, because perfect springs don’t exist, and cars don’t remain stationary.

Perfect markets don’t exist, perfect information doesn’t exist, so why would anyone expect real markets to perfectly follow the law supply and demand? And clearly markets do follow the law of supply demand at the macro level, when long periods of time are considered, otherwise commodity pricing would be entirely arbitrary and wouldn’t in anyway reflect the value of the commodity to society at large.
Every new building already has a raft of inspections.

Banning something at construction time has by far the least regulatory impact of any intervention.

If anyone was proposing turning off existing methane infrastructure, that would be quite different.
Biometrics nearly always weaken security due to needing a secondary unlock such as the usual pin code in the event that you can't use the bio-unlock. Getting into an accident and having your finger damaged or face rendered unrecognisable will require some secondary method, so biometrics can't be used as the sole unlock method for a personal device (a shared device can work around that by having multiple people authorised to unlock).
To author - what a missed opportunity to use "superglue" as a healer and metaphor. Temporary fixes are probably good enough - these cuts will be re-absored by another team later, anyway or washed away by organizational/product learning.

Whitney Webb shows how deep the corruption goes in her two volume book "One Nation Under Blackmail". Glenn Beck's interview with Whitney is the best one I've watched. Disheartening and aggravating to listen to but it reinforces the suspicion that we are all being lied to on a grand scale. She also talks about circumstantial evidence that Epstein was working for or with the CIA.

Ding Liren of China Wins World Chess Championship
He first voiced his discontent with the format around 13-15 years ago (he was #1 player by elo rating, but not yet the world champion), even skipping a cycle or two as protest. Afterward, he participated anyway and hold the title in fairly dominating fashion 10 years straight.

Maybe we should take his words at face value and that he really is fed up with the thing.
Require Attention for FaceID might be useful. It wouldn't unlock unless you're looking at the phone. So in cases like this just close your eyes unless you can properly lock the phone (e.g. you're already restrained). It's not very reliable for me (sometimes it still works) but seems like it's better than nothing.
When you get older, you realize "world champion" is meaningless, and the
adjudicating organizations are profit-driven, even if they're legally
non-profit (the NFL being the most brazen example).
Sort of. KSP teaches you rocket building and how precious fuel is. You need to invest a lot of time to get to the stage where you transfer between planets. You also can't just pick up the resident star, give it a whack, and see what happens to the solar system (because it's all two-body mechanics).

That's what I wanted to learn about: orbital mechanics, but as a game. I could not find anything online so I built it myself. The UX is bad, I've been meaning to improve it but you know how it goes. Apologies in advance if the interface is beyond comprehension: it's not you, it's me.

Earth orbit: https://lucgommans.nl/p/badgravity/#b64params=eyJ0aW1lcGVyc3...

Use arrow keys to control the space craft that looks oddly similar to the letter "A". You're orbiting Earth (denoted with E) and there is also the international space station roaming around, as well as the moon if you scroll to zoom out.

Try getting near the ISS or even the moon! It's tricky if you're doing this for the first time.

For me, this really helped to get a feel for orbital mechanics. I never played KSP more than a few minutes on a friend's PC, but based on Juno:NewOrigins (simplerockets2) being rather similar, I don't really enjoy the engine building aspect or the aspect of constantly being out of fuel. It's more realistic obviously, but spacecraft design wasn't my goal. I wanted to understand how things in orbits affect each other and this lets you do that.

You can also take control of the earth in the "bodies" menu. Set engine thrust to some giganewtons or whatever and fly the earth to a new place :). Or try some of the scenarios in the menu. Also note the simulation speed on the top left, otherwise getting to e.g. the moon takes a while.

Agreed. He worked with journalists to try the make the leak safe.

In my view the elephant in the room is that the monarchy in the UK has demonstrably failed to be a check or balance on a party with a majority in Parliament.

Without a written constitution there is no limit on what a party with a majority in Parliament - which it can an achieve with a relatively small share of the vote - can do. Not a healthy situation.
The current monarchy format seems like it was necessary at the time of the transition away from pure monarchy in order to prevent too much opposition to the transition from blocking the transition. Like a compatibility layer with a legacy system.

Now the population that would have opposed the transition is long dead, so it seems reasonable to remove the compatibility layer.

Though, a more cynical take might be-- what if there is still latent support for reverting to a true classical monarchy, and keeping a monarchy in place dampens support. I.e. going from "no monarchy" back to "monarchy" might get some people excited, whereas going from "monarchy A" to "monarchy B" is less likely to stir up excitement.

Personally I’ve seen a privileging of geometry over algebra that leads people in the wrong direction. Who cares what you can do with a straightedge and compasss? Based on what we know now the ‘conic sections’ would better be called the ‘gravitational curves’ or something like that.

Tragedy of the commons at scale.
Long World Championship matches and normal tournaments are two very different beasts. Kramnik [convincingly] defeated Kasparov for the world championship in 2000, yet Kasparov was still the indisputably strongest tournament player in the world, and would remain so for the entirety of Kramnik's 6 year reign. Magnus' recent title defenses, except against Ian, have not been convincing. And against Ian, he was largely gifted games after Ian lost one good game and then went on monkey tilt. In the 2 world championship matches prior, Magnus had a grand score of +1 =22 -1. Magnus is dominant in regular tournaments, but that level of dominance has not carried over into his world championship matches.

I think he simply wanted to go out undefeated. The only opponent Magnus was willing to defend his title against is Alireza, the 4th in the world behind Magnus, Ian, and Ding. But he is by far the least experienced. He has 0 classical match experience against top players, is 20 years old, and also has tilt issues. Throw in the pressure of a World Championship match and he would almost certainly have been the easiest opponent for Magnus.

This event showed who the strongest match player in the world is, and as of today - that is Ding Liren.
Not for me at least (though I think loloquwowndueo was mostly joking)
There's something satisfying about seeing Chomsky on this list after he spent 2021 saying that people who didn't take the COVID shots should be removed from society and left to fend for themselves in obtaining food.
Your point is bullshit. Anyone who can rent can afford to own. I’ve owned half a dozen properties at this point and it’s clear that Banks just do as much fuckery as possible to make lending impossible to anyone that doesn’t perfectly fit their mold.
