tl:dr operating yourself around 6-10k€/year fixed price for hosting the 500TB.
If cloudflare offers to store that and operate it for free this is a no brainer for cloudfare R2, if the 32k migration is really a one time only cost.

i personally would invest in a solution which decreases or at least flattens the cost, when the storage needs increase, instead of the current linear curve. Biggest problem in "cloud" and biggest win in hosting yourself.

if you want to do it yourself i would probably think about something like this:

500TB with 20tb hdd's are around 28 disks needed.
This will cost between 15-20.000€ per server(4U with sata/sas controller and 36-40 disk chassis)

with no raid and high availability you will need 2 locations and 2 servers in a colocated setup. i would say colo will cost you 500-1000€ a month

Then you would use the cloudflare cdn with their OSS offering and be done with it.

initial cost 40k
operational cost + colo = around 6-12k/year i would assume, if you have people nearby to do maintenance.

If management doesn't have the people to handle their employees taking the leave that they're entitled to, __that's not your problem__. Your responsibility is to announce your planned absence in advance, write and distribute any hand-off materials required as your planned absence approaches, and then take your leave at the announced time.
Yet if I want to contribute to Rust backend, or its upcoming GCC implementation, write C++ I must.

Same applies to the runtimes of the languages I use at work, and GPGPU related tooling when not using shaders.

Maybe then do a Go/zig/D, focus on cranelift and fully bootstrap Rust, before trying to rewrite the world.

"This study applies Benford’s law to detect anomalies in county-level vote data for the 2020 US presidential election. Most prominent distribution violations are observed with Republican vote counts in blue states, all vote counts in states won by the Democratic candidate, and Democratic vote counts in swing states. Distributions are anomalous in swing states won by the Democratic nominee and not anomalous in swing states won by the Republican nominee. The results are robust to two-digit analysis, Monte Carlo simulations of p-values, broad or narrow swing state definitions, and when compared to distributions observed in 2008, 2012, and 2016 elections." - ["Detecting Anomalies in the 2020 US Presidential Election Votes with Benford’s Law" (2020)](https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3728626)
"Women are more dangerous than men" is a weird take, when males are extremely physically violent. To say that "gossip" is at the same level as rape, murder, child sexual assault, and torture (statistically much more likely to be commited by males) is ridiculous.
Also, women do not rape children just as often as males despite the fact that we can easily overpower them.

Testosterone makes males aggressive, dangerous, and sexually violent. Simple as.

By definition, are we not taking risk in switching to the new thing which is admittedly worse than the old thing, before it's ready?

Also, the threshold 77% seems so random. In many systems, it is hard to even quantify how effective is the new one compared to old. Suppose you do have metrics, then why 77%?

There is no way to prove that every cert from every CA gets logged in CT. How can I know for certain some CA out there is not creating certs and not logging them?
Generally services not found directly at A/AAAA records for a name are found via another record that contains a hostname (HTTPS/SVCB, SRV, etc) at a leaf node below the name. So `_xmpps-server._tcp.example.net` might contain the hostname `hosted-provider.example.com` in which case `hosted-provider.example.com` will need to respond with a certificate for `example.net`, unless you trust the DNS, in which case it can respond as `hosted-provider.example.com`.
Those same people with guns can also force your registrar to request removal of the DS record. Or in the case of ccTLDs, the people with guns might already control your TLD operator and can just answer the acme-challenges themselves.

“Certain countries” are well known for subsidizing domestic grain production and dumping it on overseas markets which ends up hurting the local farmers as they can’t compete on prices. Given enough time these countries become totally dependent on the imported grains and their entire farming industry goes away.

We were given a problem involving the movements of a chess knight over a weird non-chess board to try to reach a particular point from a particular start in 4th grade. At the time I ran it backward and believed this showed it to be unsolvable. But I also believed the teacher would not give us an unsolvable problem without somehow indicating that it couldn't be solved (as doing so would violate the implied rules of the classroom).

One student solved it in class, but the rest of us weren't told what the solution was. I tried solving it a bit in high school but still couldn't come up with a solution.

I really hope there is a solution that I couldn't find, and not that we were expected to discover that there is no solution. I expect that problems in the real world may not have a solution, but if you're going to pull that sort of thing in a 4th grade classroom (even a gifted one) I expect some setup so that the kids know this is a possibility.

It only needs to have money attached to code fixes.

The problem with developers that don't do consulting is that they have no idea how each hour of their work relates to product development costs.

An example of this and candidate for worst use of a QR code is found on Wifi APs provided by AT&T. A sticker on the device shows a convenient QR code that will get you connected. If you're thinking it uses industry standard Wifi schema well you don't know AT&T very well. Instead it sends you to att.com. That's right, in order to connect to the wifi so you can get online you must first be online so you can get the password from a website.

Fortunately they still print the SSID and password on the back. But it's clear that AT&T would rather you go through their telemetry portal instead.

Is that knowledge available in real time? When I interviewed at Google last year, the next thing I heard back from the recruiter was that I'd passed the interviews and should expect a job offer. She wished me congratulations. A couple weeks later, she informed me that my interview scores were too low to get a job offer. It remains unclear to me why there would be separate thresholds for "passing" and "eligible for hire".
Show HN: Google Code Jam Archive
Hi HN,

As many of you already know, Google has discontinued their coding competitions and is shutting down the competitions website.
Before it's gone forever, I've scraped everything I could from their website and set up my own archive.

(Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with Google besides participating in these contests years ago)

While the initial version was ready back in March, today I'm rolling out big and hopefully the final update, so this might be a good time to share it with the HN community.

Everything is static HTML and SQLite archives (with a very minimal backend to serve files directly from SQLite), so you can easily grab your own copy.
May these 3.5 million source files be a nice training dataset for some fancy future AI!

Some useless stats:

Tabs or spaces? 28% tabs vs 72% spaces for the whole dataset, but quite unexpectedly, 66% tabs vs 34% spaces if we consider only the final rounds.

Most used languages: 63% C/C++, 20% Python, 12% Java, 2% C#, with others less than 1% each. For the final rounds it's 83% C/C++, 13% Java, 2% Python.
the point of DNSSEC for tlds is to prove that the data coming from the server is actually correct.

for TLS to work, you need to validate the authenticity of the host you are connected to. Obviously you can use mutual auth, but you still need to authenticate the CN. You can use a custom CA, but that involves previous setup.
I've become all but convinced over the past decade or so (largely though not entirely post-Snowden) that opsec matters far less than immunity and/or impunity.

The difference between those last two is that immunity is actual freedom from consequence, whilst impunity may be the impression of invulnerability (leaning heavily on the sense of the word as "rashness or inconsideration" ... I'm aware that this may not be entirely standard or customary usage).

The upshot is that the immune know that they cannot be touched, the impudent believe that they cannot be touched. The former is a more robust protection, the latter may prove highly brittle. (Activities of participants in the events of 6 Jan 2021 come to mind.)

The distinction between either of these and opsec is that opsec must be good most or all of the time. Immmunity/impunity buy you a lot of sloppiness.

A related concept is that of intelligence agencies doing far less of observing information and far more of planting it. This was common practice amongst both the USA and USSR during the Cold War, as has been detailed in numerous accounts. John Crewsden and Carl Bernstein both (separately) wrote of the CIA's activities in this regard, quite often working directly with news organisations (or personnel associated with same), during the 1970s:

Crewsden: "The CIA’s 3-Decade Effort to Mold the World’s Views" (1977) <https://www.nytimes.com/1977/12/25/archives/the-cias-3decade...> (In six parts, listed and linked here: (<https://diaspora.glasswings.com/posts/cdec9a80ce3b0139a0df00...>)).

The story became the subject of a US Congressional investigation, documented here: <https://archive.org/details/CIAMedia1978Hearings/page/n3/mod...>

Bernstein's account, "The CIA and the Media" (1977), <https://web.archive.org/web/20071026060752/http://www.carlbe...>

Or that the NSA's capabilities in decoding ecrypted communications had much less to do with superhuman cryptographic hax0ring skillz, and more with flooding the market with affordable, back-doored encryption tools, via Crypto AG, a Swiss front company: <https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/feb/11/crypto-ag-ci...>

> Evolution would not allow waste of energy and complexity for just one on/off switch. Inefficient things die out in the course of millions of years. Neural tissue on itself is far older than humanity, so it had much more time to perfect.

Sorry but that's not how evolution works at all. You are essentially postulating that evolution results in efficient outcomes given enough time whereas there are many, many examples of evolution delivering results but clearly sub-optimal ones. It's not a given that evolution will lead to an efficient solution, it's not even a given that it will lead to a solution at all.
Incentives have changed. The old style wanted to make the reader feel informed about many issues quickly when reading through most of the newspaper, making people want to buy the next newspaper.

so is the idea that YouTube can take a list of rules, e.g. "don't say the election was stolen," and automatically flag all the videos that break that rule?

of course, it'd have to be nuanced enough to distinguish between people debunking claims the election was stolen. even if they play clips from people claiming otherwise. and of course, it shouldn't flag irony.. but it should flag meta-irony like 4chan.

this is basically AGI. in the age of LLMs, this might be possible (if not now then soon), but that's terrifying. YouTube can then write rules, in English, and accurately filter/boost/limit ideologies. and wait until other countries start pressuring YouTube to add rules for them - no claiming Taiwan is a country, or criticizing the Saudi royal family.

and if the tech isn't that frighteningly sophisticated, anything remotely edgy gets wiped. a childproofed internet, engineered for the lowest common denominator of human.

You overestimate how much talent it takes to live indoors. Living in a house and being a drunk or junky is actually much more common than being a homeless drunk or junky. Drugs and alcohol do not magically deprive one of the ability to live indoors. Have you ever heard of a crack house? Totally possible to be a housed druggie.

Similarly most mentally ill people are able to muster the ability to sleep indoors.

Let’s agree that nothing about drug addiction or mental illness precludes living indoors.

The increase in homelessness seems as though it corresponds almost exactly to California’s housing crisis and unaffordable rents. Heroin has been around for a long time. It cannot be the explanation for a sudden increase in homelessness. Mental illness is a constant more or less, so it cannot be the explanation either.

What changed over the past decade, and especially changed in the past few years? Housing prices and rents.

I’d love to hear other explanations for the rapid increase of homelessness in California this past decade or two. It cannot be attributed solely to drugs or mental illness.

It depends whether your product is used by individuals or business.

For a business, there typically is a cost for competent staff/contractor to install, configure and administer any system. So you could offer paid support to alleviate that need. AFAIK, that is what RedHat did with their early Linux distro.

From what I'm seeing, technically competent individuals want everything free and are able to solve their own problems. That market might not even be worth pursuing if the unpaid support becomes a burden for your business.
