A comparable issue: Feynman noticed unlocked safes were vulnerable to get their code stolen.

It seems this principle holds for a lot of things: Try to keep secure storage locked if not in use.

From the top if my head: Our web password vault is 1 xss bug away from being cloned if open. Same for my bank website. Full disk encryption does not help against files like pgpass being read by malware if I am logged in Passwords not in memory can't end up in a core dump. Browser stored passwords also seem vulnerable. Etc....
I'm curious, as someone in my life seems to think I don't care about them, for those of you who have been in such depression, what have other people done that helped you realize they loved you?
some keywords are types, but not all types are keywords, right?

like, it's not as if the go type `float64` is also a go keyword

but i guess the java type `byte` is a java keyword? according to https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/_k...

God.. that's indeed a crushing, last resort kind of advice.

On the physical side of companionship there is the paid-for "Girlfriend Experience" in the same vein.

These are truly depressing considerations.
Their claims seem reasonable, but they don't admit that the other problem is their content isn't worth what it used to be or what they think it's worth.
When I lived in Hawaii, we had rainwater catchment as our main/only water supply. We added some bleach to the (10000 gallon) catchment tank once per month and ran it through filters as it entered the house (the last filter was 5µm). Officially, it wasn't potable, but we installed an additional 0.5µm filter on a drinking water tap and never had a problem.
People move to SOMA because the apartments are both close to their office and easily accessible online. Finding apartments in the rest of the city can be something of an adventure.

But then, as you note, SOMA is kinda bad to live in. Lots of homelessness, not a whole lot of services, everything shuts down outside of business hours.
> If CPI was accurate you'd have the same standard of living your grandfather had. A decent house on a single salary, pension, new car in the driveway.

CPI speaks to price levels. It says nothing about standards of living, just cost. Nobody argues that if you were on the winning team, life in the 50s wasn’t great. Naturally, if you poll folks from different backgrounds, that rose tint fades a bit. Unfortunately, we don’t have fine-grained economic statistics from the 50s to today.
> The cars themselves are quickly being beaten out by the larger players

Based on what exactly?

Tesla cars are wildly popular in their segments. They have elite efficiency, high margin, they lead in costumer loyalty and costumer satisfaction ratings. Model Y is literally the most sold car in the world.

What actual evidence are you basing these claims on?

Tesla is making a huge amount of money because of vertical integration, why would they give that up to be a contract manufacturer or sell batteries.
> Tesla Insurance is a kind of small moat.

Only idiots buy black-box based car insurance (whether Tesla or any other).

I mean, come on, insurance companies are already renowned for slippery policy wordings and the desire to get out of paying-out.

Do you seriously think an insurance company having access to your driving data is really being done for your benefit ?

I would be willing to bet its so that Mr Risk Adjustor at the insurance company can say "computer AI algorithm says it thinks you were driving 'aggressively' that morning".

And once "computer says no" you'll have a hell of a time trying to fight it.
Knizhnik made these variables thread local, which is fine if you have a fixed association of threads to data. This looses some flexibility if your runtime needs to incorporate multiple sessions on one thread (for example to hide IO latency) in the future. In the end, the best solution is to associate the data that belongs to a session with the session itself, making it independent on which thread it's running on. This is described by Knizhnik as "cumbersome", which is exactly why people should have not started with global variables in the first place. (No blame, Postgres is from 1986 and times were very different back then).
Also, in my learning 'street smarts' as an adult , one lesson tougher people including my wife have taught me , is to trust your gut instincts if you are in a neighborhood or situation and you feel unsafe.
I like to ask people how to spell said obvious thing. “Oh cool thanks for the suggestion. Yoga huh. Never heard of it. How do you spell it?”

Try to maintain composure for as long as possible.
A bit of a tangent, but the fact that some people just never feel full is so strange to me. My feeling of fullness feels like being literally full; like my stomach would distend uncomfortably if I ate more. How can one not have this sensation? The stomach can only fit so much food. Would physically expanding my stomach cause me to have to eat more to feel full, or is what I feel just an "illusion?"
What is the deal with the anti-EU sentiment? Is there something specific you disagree with, or do you simply think laws shouldnt apply to megacorps? The fines google pays for its continued abuse of user data and anti-competitive business practices are a pittance compared to the EUs annual budget (>180bn EUR this year). Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. They could always just stop doing the shit (or just pull out of the EU).
Is there enough forces trying to solve this issue? Isn't there a void here for the market to intervene? Why hasn't it? AFAIK agriculture is quite inefficient.
more than that the platform is the more aggressive in the worst way possible, or your ask so specific about weird behavior that nobody responds or they say this already bean asking even if not(because some mods don't read what they ban), they block conversation with hundreds of votes, they practically insult the post writer for “not knowing”, i'm happy if they start changing the nefarious moderation scheme, im 100 % more likely of making the same question in reddit than in stackoverflow people are kind, because moderation encourage that, that would totally increase the use of their platform lots more than this.
I'm very confused by the pricing here. $20/month ($240/year) gives you only 2TB of storage. But Backblaze's consumer product provides unlimited storage for $7/month (or $70/year). The offering closest in price is the $5/month one here, which only gives 250 GB - a very big difference for people with large music collections.

I get that this provides additional value on top of the Backblaze consumer offering, but at the same time, that seems like a massive markup for the underlying storage, for people who have large music collections (ie, the people most likely to want a service like this).
You can also say people watching tv news too much would have this issue.
You have a choice when you partner with a payment gateway.

You can work with a laissez-faire gateway. It will not exist for long, because your company will be people who figured out they're not complying with various laws, so they will either disappear without a trace, or in the worst case scenario, take you down with them. You may end up having to explain to various authorities what you were doing.

Or, you can work with one that's serious about AML/KYC compliance. This means sometimes your account gets flagged for suspicious activity, and you have to play by their rules to get it back. Depending on the provider, they may actually have some ways for you to get your account back, or they won't be bothered.

Stripe is in the category of providers that will actually work with you to get your account back, but they're certainly not perfect. On the other hand, try something like Paypal and you're screwed. Or go with a different big player and find out how much nobody cares about you and the $40 a month of revenue you bring them.

Every time I hear some horror story about Stripe, either the account is back up and running very quickly, or the business was doing something egregiously bad. YMMV, this is just the professional opinion of someone who has been working in FinTech for a long time, and with Stripe for quite some time too.

I think the title should mention this is a CSS smooth shadows generator. I assumed it was more general purpose before I clicked through.
Imprisonment is to keep people moving along, or deter them from coming.

Housing is more expensive because of the opposite, it incentives everyone to come get it.

On a federal level, housing and healthcare might be cheaper than imprisonment. But what is even cheaper (in the short run) is ignoring it altogether.

>I personally don’t understand why the some exceptionally wealthy billionaire in California doesn’t solve the homelessness problem themselves, expending some mere fraction of their net worth (i.e., the value of a couple bucks to the rest of us).

Because the problem is far more expensive than any single billionaire or even group of billionaires entire net worth. Even if they could handle just California's population. there are 290M people in the rest of the country, and a significant portion who would not mind coming to California for free housing.
I've complained about this before, but "if you actually believed X, you'd be doing Y" is almost never a valid inference. In almost every case, including your comment, it's a failure to understand what your opponents actually believe and instead just projecting your own misunderstandings onto them to feel smug and think that they can be dismissed. Comments of this form should just be downvoted by default as unproductive.
Apparently reusing waste water for agriculture already a thing, but there are standards about the average concentration of coliform bacteria per unit volume for different classes of reused water, and for multiple classes the standard matches one used for drinking water (2.2 MPN/100mL).

Not so sure I believe this strategy.

An app isn't going to make me buy a car or Tesla equipment. Aesthetics, utility, and cost are my main purchasing decision dimensions, and Tesla isn't winning those for me. I'm not buying something shaped like a prune that can't haul gear and equipment.

The ads on Uber and other delivery apps are irrelevant to my daily life. Uber claims advertising has generating $500M in ARR, but that's co-mingled with restaurants seeking placement on Uber Eats. Ads for movies and McDonalds on Uber is probably generating a small pittance of that sum.

Furthermore, lots of businesses will get into EV charging when it takes off. Existing gas stations, restaurants, and shopping will undoubtedly join when they believe the timing is right.

FWIW, I'm dreading having to buy an EV. Gasoline works better for my use cases. I don't have a place to charge at home, and I don't want to wait for on-demand fill ups.

I think the push to EVs has been a function of worldwide market and regulation, not necessarily consumer choice.
Show HN: PolymurHash, a fast hash with a mathematically proven collision rate
I did something similar. I ripped my DVDs and music CDs to a NAS-box. Then later moved some of them to S3 so I could access them while on the road. I wrote a very simple service to look at the list of files in S3 and provide a list of video and audio files. Like you, I bought every CD and DVD in my collection. I did not make the service available to anyone else and I didn't share access to my files.

I think the only difference is I didn't put in the effort to make it look nice and didn't try to make a commercial service out of it.

But it did get me thinking about whether there's a market for people who have their own AWS account and are willing to run software in their own instances. But not corporate stuff, but things you might have had on your PC in the 90s: catalog of media, simple task list, etc.
Is it a strategy, or the reality that they can't afford enough reporters?
I got to know some local reporters, being involved in local politics, and... Gannett is pretty awful.
So you’re advocating for a world where articles are only written by people who hate the content? What a strange, sad take.
> the best food & weather in the country

Imagine believing SF proper has the best weather in the country

Your year-round weather isn't even as good as neighboring counties.

- someone who lived on the SF peninsula for years, and often regretted trading idyllic weather for a cold, damp dinner night in SF.
> newbies with syntax errors to flood the place

I think they are looking for that. As long as they read the ads, they don't care how good at programming they are. It's a "web property", not a programming contest ;)
Well... OP does mention that SF has an operating budget of 14 billion dollars per year...

I am pretty sure that _something_ could be done with even a small portion of that _yearly_ ingress of capital.
Yeah it's way nicer to live up the hill a little, basically anywhere up a hill. The low-lying areas have "gravity" that attract bad things.

I made the same mistake moving to SF in 2002, until 2004. It was bad then -- and surprise, surprise, the places with the most availability are the least desirable.

The meme is that tech people are taking over SF. But it's also true that the city is crowded with old money, and new housing / new people starting in 2010 took some of the least desirable spots, including that part of 7th-8th and Mission.

I also biked, and a related thing I learned is you just have to get used to biking up and down hills. It helped my fitness a lot. If you bike in the low-lying areas, it's kind of a shitty experience too.
>a brand you buy when you can afford to have a car in the shop most of the time

TBF, unless you are in a Niche market (off roading a land rover) - it's generally hard to buy a bad car today.

Is a Camry more reliable than a 3 series? Yes. But you're talking 4 9s vs 5 under warranty; being near a good dealership with good service is markedly more important than brand reputation. If my Audi/BMW/Volvo are in the shop for a week every other year and they easily give a loaner to cover, does it really matter? At that point, the cup holder being 5% better placed for convenient access matters more.
> They've asked for guidance on registering multiple times and have been stiffed multiple times

The SEC said that most cryptocurrencies are securities. That's their guidance, and explains what they need to do - register as a securities exchange.

They just don't like that answer and want a different one that suits them better.
That looks interesting!

I currently use NocoDB with a MariaDB database, so I can't easily switch over as Undb doesn't support MySQL as I see. But it has the feature I'm missing in NocoDB: a Calendar View which funnily NocoDB promoted on their website but doesn't have [1]. I guess I'll give it a try!

Sorry but I am anti- rights predicated on feeling. I can't even control my own feelings, not sure why you expect the state to be able to do so.
Every single news site is the polar opposite of "speed". They are bloated, filthy, infested monstrosities or code and markup and dependencies that take upwards of 10 seconds to actually yield the non-information they brand as "news". So "site speed" is clearly a bullshit metric.
HN Support = press prevention plan
it's probably a pattern because the city government allowed more housing construction there than anywhere else.
There are definitely companies that hire remote workers to fulfill state government contract work. Salary won't be great, around the $100K range, but much less stress. Many of these government apps are not used after hours, so no need for a dreaded pager rotation.
> one could posit that a reason that large monolithic businesses exist (with centralized control etc) is because at scale you can get efficiency (to a limit i suppose)

Exactly--to a limit. But if you look at how large corporations work, it is at least highly plausible that they are over the limit--i.e., that they are larger, in some cases much larger, than the optimal size of a firm in their particular line of business.

The reason such large corporations can survive while being well over the optimal size of a firm in their line of business is government regulation. Government regulations favor larger businesses because the larger the business, the easier it is to absorb the costs of regulatory compliance. (And also the easier it is to buy regulations that favor your company.)

> with many small sized business interacting i wonder how it could keep efficiency with so many interacting parts

A free market does this naturally via the price mechanism. You can still have economies of scale, and in a free market we would expect most businesses to be at or near the optimal size of firm for their line of business.

Large corporations have coordination problems too--that's a key reason why there are limits to economies of scale. At some point the coordination problems outweigh any efficiencies from scale and the business gets less efficient overall if it continues to get larger.
SF is weird in that one block can be pretty nice, and a walk a few minutes in the wrong direction can put you in the middle of skid row. It is a rapid and jarring transition.

A night out for the unaware can start with an early dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Hayes. You enjoy a performance of La Boheme at the opera, and afterwards walk across the street to look at the beautiful neoclassical architecture of City Hall lit up at night with colors of pride. You walk one more block looking for a nightcap and... What the fuck, why am I surrounded by tents, drug dealers, and someone seizing on the sidewalk from a fentanyl overdose?
IMHO, a good memory is an aid.
To the extent that it appears as a hindrance, I believe this is a different problem that must be overcome by other means.
My reasoning is, that the good memory is employed in learning about structures and patterns and possibilities - 'possible ways'. The more knowledge you have about possible structures, the vaster the space you can navigate to search for and find new combinations and solutions.
Not having all this knowledge, would mean you are searching blind. Metaphorically, your 'tunnel' may be 5 cm away from breaking through to a possible solution to the other side, but without knowledge of the possible-patterns landscape, you will not realize that there is a solution to find by just tunneling 5 cm onwards.
You may still be able to find great combinations by "dumb luck", with great effort - but knowing the map and the territory, all else the same, SHOULD be a great accelerating advantage.
If this knowledge of prior art is combined with the attitude 'oh no that is just that song by X', of course that may seem bad.
But that should be solved with techniques like Edward de Bono's six thinking hats or whatever else leads to constructive brainstorming.
That's true but most people still start work at 9am though.

I think it used to be more common to start at 10am, but not anymore.
> I’ve personally enjoyed auto steer on every car I’ve driven not a Tesla. Some let you keep your hands off the wheel, and none of them phantom break every couple hundred miles, which is the ultimate deal breaker.

I'm actually curious what systems you're using. I have very limited experience, I have a M3 and a 21 Corolla with Toyota's version.

My M3 has never once just given up on the lanes and stopped steering, but it's a very common occurrence on the Toyota. It just gives up and suddenly you're back to controlling it with no real rhyme or reason to it that I can find.

Cool, I have 8 months prepaid for a service I can no longer use because they have a months notice they're removing a feature I need. And they refuse to refund crypto, the payment method they supposedly prefer.

Musk absolutely underestimated the difficulty of full self driving. He's still doing it today. FSD is one of those techs that makes for awesome demos but it has thousands of edge cases that are hard to test for even with millions of vehicle miles recorded in their big AI datacenter.

The tell for me is Hyperloop. That is an optimal environment for FSD, a closed and contained track that has only identical vehicles on it, and yet they still use a human driver.

I only wonder how long it will take before Elon becomes disillusioned, maybe it will never happen. Maybe they'll pull a rabbit out of their hat and actually get it to work. I'm still skeptical.
> if you think traveling solo is fun, well you're being sold bullshit at best, worst you're acquiescing to a terrible experience and trying to find joy in it

Maybe, just maybe, people experience things differently than you, ever thought about that?
I agree and good for you. I guess all good relationships have some sort of similarity, but therapy is otherwise unlike friendship. It's one-way, that's the whole point, they listen and hold space in a way that doesn't work in a friendship! And they (hopefully) have a lot of professional training in doing so.

Hope you find someone who can work with you in a productive way, best of luck!
I recently drove more than 1000 miles from Sao Paulo (Brazil) towards the south and many cities looked dry, completely covered with soybean plantations, and they're growing quickly [1]. Brazil basically exports a shitton of water in the form of meat. We have 36 million hectares dedicated to soybeans alone, that's Germany's total area. I wonder how long this is going to last.

During the pandemic I moved out to the middle of nowhere in NY State. I am surrounded by nature, wildlife, and my neighbors are barely within shouting distance. I rarely ever see friends, go to coffee shops, restaurants, clubs, movies, shopping, etc. And I have never been so not-lonely.

My time is filled with activities and projects so I barely have enough time to just sit with a cup of coffee. When I do, I have a whole backyard full of flora and fauna to look at and listen to, like one of those YouTube channels streaming nature sounds. Country folk have the right idea living out here. You don't miss what you don't see.
Israel desalination plant profitably offering a fixed price of 1.45 NIS per cubic meter. At current exchange rates that is around 0.40$ per cubic meter (1000L).

https://www.gov.il/en/departments/news/desalination_260520

Freshwater withdrawals in the US (which includes all agricultural use including exported crops and animal feed) is around 1550 cubic meters per year.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/water-withdrawals-per-cap...

So, even if we replaced all freshwater use in the US with desalinated water at current prices it would only incur a additional cost of ~600$ per capita per year. If our water use were more similar to peer countrys such as Germany (410 m^3), France (475 m^3), Australia (724 m^3), or Japan (640 m^3) the per capita costs would only be ~150$-250$ per year.

I've never lived in SF, but I've worked and spent a lot of time in the area around the OP's home; it sounds like a pretty accurate description of one of the worst neighborhoods in the entire city.

He could walk four blocks in any direction and have a dramatically safer and more enjoyable experience.
According to wikipedia, the actual tolerance of the dose varies widely. Because of this I would strongly discount individual accounts of safe experiences.
