I always assumed it wasn't the cost per say that provided value; malware authors certainly could lay hands to $630. The value is in actually asserting authorship & tying it to a legal identity.

I'd assume creating a fake persona / faking whatever is required to satisfy the identity checks that come with that $630 is the actual deterrent. If it was cheap to perform the actual identity checks it would still provide this effect.
Because we're using operating systems rooting from 80-s and nobody's going to rewrite them from the scratch along with all the software running on top of them. Web applications are the best thing we could get.
We certainly do allow such activities (MMA fights, extreme sports competitions etc). But such activities are fundamentally different in my view. While risky, they are not designed to permanently damage the competitor. If a participant emerges victorious and unscathed, they can enter next year's competition. That's not the case with selling a kidney (nor with my admittedly extreme example above).
It is less impressive than you think. I run slow all the time (zone 1/zone 2) and only very occasionally do tempo/threshold/intervals. I only add those in my marathon training block.

The distance is only one factor, the other factor is intensity. If you keep intensity low you can increase the volume a lot.

Most untrained people get their heart rate up to zone 2 by just walking a little faster or in more difficult terrain. But they can easily walk fast for an hour or two. The only difference is that I have to be running to get to the same level of exertion.

My runs are all easy and enjoyable and I don't have to fight myself to go out and I feel perfectly fine right after the run. I run 10 miles because that's about 1h 15-20 minutes which is the most I can pack into my busy morning. I am using that time to rethink some stuff, listen to the news or audiobooks so not all time is lost.

An interesting feature of running is that if you do it correctly you can be quickly progressing to doing things that couple of months ago you thought impossible. For example, what once was a very strenuous run was an easy stroll couple months later, if I did things correctly inbetween.

Another example, for years I had trouble with my Achilles tendon which would flare up every time I reached particular weekly mileage (about 20-30 miles). For many years I thought I am never going to be good at this, but then I got an advice from my physiotherapist to do some strength training and calisthenics targeting my Achilles and my problems suddenly went away. From then on I understood it is all about problem solving and I am a nerd.
Next/nuxt are an architectural dead end for me. It’s so confusing with the subtle differences between what the front lib can do and what next/nuxt can do. If you treat them as server side static site engines they’re ok, but bigger then that they’re a solution looking for a problem.

I implore people to try liveview though, doing everything (pretty much) on the server is incredible. So powerful and no headaches about leakage or security of APIs or whatever - all data is in BEAM/elixir process state unless you render it into a template or explicitly send it to the client in an event.
O man I did one of these last week and I so wish I had known that lollipop trick then. The cleaning out of my system the day before really was the worst part for me.

I was asked the question about long term storage of news back in 2005. The answer hasn't really changed, fundamentally there is nothing you can buy that will give you rapid access other than a working computer and todays storage technology and it will need replacing and redundency. You need to budget to constantly move to new machines and storage technology and often you only have a 5 years to move off some technologies after they go obsolete.

The file formats are a bit stickier. The further you stray from basic text the less time the format tends to last and then you have the potential additional cost of developing a format conversion tool as well.

I see the appeal of this if its got sufficient access speed there are a bunch of organisations that will see value in keeping data archived permanently safe. But the problem of binary formats over the long term will persist and I am not sure there is much we can do about that. "Project Silica" will also become an obsolete storage medium as well, I don't think this changes the fundamentals.

I would be happier if they were talking about a zip drive like thing so we could all have this rather than a cloud service.

You could probably get away with some low-profile cards, which shouldn't be much taller than the board's heatsink.
Before I was injured, I used to run 8 km (about 5 miles), three times a week. I maintained about 5:30 minutes/km, and I would sprint the last 200 or so meters at the end.

I measured the speed - the run was mostly around 10-12 km/h, the sprint around 18 km/h. I'm not a fast sprinter at all, but I was in my late twenties and maintained this schedule for a while and figured I might be average or better.

To put this in perspective, a marathon at 18 km/h is about two hours and twenty minutes. The world marathon record has been below that since the 1930s. There are lots of people who can run for two and a half hours faster than I could sprint.

A street photographer is someone that takes photos (mostly of people) in the street.

I'm also embarrassed to be confused with someone that so easily judges other people and believes that mentioning some kind of equipments tells anything about them. Photography is about photos, if you think the camera you use gives you some special kind of status you are looking at this from a very wrong angle.

Imagine a painter believing he's better than other painters because he uses some expensive brand of brushes. Yeah, you are doing the same.
Like the sibling comment said, electricity prices are going up. We're getting peaks of 40c/kWh here.

In addition summers are getting hotter and extra energy usage in hardware is translated directly to extra heat. I need to run my AC more in the summer because my tiny server rack is producing so much heat.

During winters it's kinda handy though =)
FWIW I recently upgraded my 10yr old NAS to use the ASRock-N100M. I was previously using an S1200 Intel server board and a Xeon E3-1220v3.

I've got 4 SATA HDDs using a flashed Dell Perc H310 and 2 SATA SSDs.

I was able to remove my Nvidia GPU because the N100 supports QuickSync.

Using a single 32gb stick of DDR4 but I do miss having ECC RAM, considering I am using ZFS.

Despite the above, I couldn't be happier! My NAS is as close to silent as is reasonably possible.
I guess the tl;dr of the article can be summed up as "better not". If all you need is to supply power, than a regular two-pole connector with a fixed voltage will save a ton of work and probably end up more reliable.
170HX was created to solve two problems NVidia had,

1. A small group of transient users were buying cards in bulk preventing the long-term users from getting it.
2. They will dump these cards back in market in few years, creating a glut creating fluctuation in market.

170HX and its limitations make perfect sense when you look from that perspective. Had LLM boom and 170HX wouldn't have happened, NVidia would have been struggling with a saturated market and tanked stock price. So yeah, it sucks that you can't use the perfect piece of hardware but than that was its purpose.

The expectation of privacy in public changes in each country and with different laws. Where I live in the EU there is an expectation of privacy in public and it's illegal to take a picture of someone that portrays them in a bad or embarrassing way.

Given how easily it is already to take pictures and videos discreetly with smartphones and how it's already abused by all kind of people (especially younger generations), I say that for once Meta did a good thing (even though I'm sure they did it only to avoid bad PR given their reputation). Even if something is already bad doesn't mean everything new should be bad as well just because of it.

I was once biking at what I considered acceptable pace on a long empty road in Texas one fine Sunday. Slowly I approached a kid like maybe 15-16, running. While biking without exerting myself, I was only able to approach him slowly. He was shirtless so you could se he was toned and perfectly executing every step as if it’s a prerecorded NPC. A body perfectly tuned to do that one operation, with hours going to that preparation every day of their life.

Why would anyone be surprised they do so much better?
I think this post is way too upvoted, considering the fact that all the outlets repeated the same wrong fact.

That's not how network effects work. Your complainers will go back to their subreddit and complain that your dating app is empty and all the profiles they're matched up with are 500km away.

The only way to have a fighting chance is to start in a single metropolis (eg New York), and try to get everyone to coordinate trying at once. Since the demographics of people complaining about dating sites online is a bit small (and selects for the kinds of clients you don't want), you've got to advertise more broadly, eg with ads on Youtube or in the metro. That gets expensive.
>American Exceptionalist

Ah yes, because all criticisms of SI's inherently flawed design must be from an American.
Lol, lmao even.

>I can just as easily use my handspan or the lengths of my fingers to estimate lengths in centimetres as you can in inches

But you can't do that for meters, whereas you can for feet- and I only need to remember one body part for one inch (and one for one foot, naturally) whereas you have to remember several because the centimeter is too small, and the meter too big, to use in this way (you cannot even really generate 1 cm- so you have to do multiplication every time you want to do this).

The SI base unit's design handicaps its usability here- having to use fractions or having to multiply by 2 or 3 afterwards to compute what would normally be counting by 1s is, obviously, not an improvement.

See, the average Joe gains zero benefit from the knowledge that he is using a measurement that has something to do with how large the Earth is. Sure, navel-gazing academics like the symmetry, and math problems in school are a bit easier when you're just staring at an abstract number rather than having to sanity-check a measurement of an object you have sitting in front of you- but a system of measurement designed for human beings (and not states or vague modernist principles) should have picked the latter to work on, not the former.

It is not a coincidence that every country in the world, pre-SI, set their measurement's "1" (or 1/10th, 1/12th, or 1/16th) at what we now consider to be 25-30mm: good design, intended for humans. The fact that number in SI is not a round one: bad design, intended for... something else.

>is metric is far easier and more intuitive as soon as you want to do anything complicated with those measurements.

Until you want to divide them into thirds, fourths, sixths, or eighths, then you have to remember the 3 numbers of the fraction anyway. Doing this makes sense for abstract things like money and (to an extent) volume, since I hope you're not measuring liquids with your hands, but "visualize how much water this is in relation to some length" is generally not a problem anyone who isn't writing things down already (and can thus deal with arbitrary conversions) has.

And for those who do work in odd fractional measurements... they're already working in decimal anyway and have been ever since the caliper was invented, so what difference does it make for them?

> I usually assume it’s some zealot

It might be that, but the power to completely delete posts from the front page (or any page) doesn't reside with users AFAIK. My theory is that either a moderation bot or someone with superuser privileges did it, and not really because the information was distasteful per se, more likely because there is an assumption that the HN crowd wouldn't be able to handle the topic with nuance and rationality, and therefore hurt the overall experience here.

I can understand it: topics related to wars where people have had relatives, friends, acquaintances and/or tribesmen killed and maimed will obviously tend to devolve, badly. But it would be a difficult balance in that case - it might lead to vital information being suppressed, here on HN as well.

> When we fill out profiles, we naturally try to highlight some parts of ourselves and hide others.

Sure, but this is not unique to dating sites. When meeting anyone on a first date IRL we present the best version of ourselves. It takes time for people to get to know each other, and whether they first meet online or in a bar is not much different. Meeting IRL obviously has more signals than seeing a digital profile, but a digital profile is somewhere in between a glance and a wink at a bar, and having an in-person conversation with someone.

The really insidious aspect of dating sites is how exploitative they can be, and "they only stay in business by keeping you single" is fairly accurate. On Tinder, you never truly know whether you're not getting likes because of your profile, or because their algorithm has decided to effectively shadowban you. Your only option would be to buy boost packs and super-likes to even get a chance to be seen.

There's a large market opportunity for a dating site that is actually transparent and not exploitative.

So refusing is better than accepting.

I'm in France, I used GP since that's the term that seems to be used in the Anglosphere. It also seems like a reasonable translation of the French term – médecin généraliste.

I'm hearing bad things about UK's NHS, and while I don't have any firsthand experience with it, I do get the feeling that the French system is going down the same path.

It's true that I don't usually think about going the private route. I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can probably see a private specialist directly. I also don't know how much it would cost, but probably quite a lot, given the prices in the public hospitals, and I don't think it's covered by the insurance, even though I carry insurance above the standard national scheme.
Depending on how well it works, it can be much better - accepting longer context sizes etc

Your observation on neurological efficiency generalizes to all physical activities.

If you practiced pull-ups every day, you would become very efficient at pull-ups and possibly double the number you can do. At the same time, it isn't impossible for seemingly related measurements of strength (such as the biceps curl and deadlift) to get worse as your body "overfits" its adaptation to the pull-ups.

That's a good point. Americans I've met seem to only associate miles with cars. While a British person might say "let's walk, it's only a mile", Americans would say "you can't walk, it's a mile!".

Of course, if you do walk a mile then that's a "hike". In British that's also just called a walk.

> I think a lot of the critiques of dating sites/apps miss the mark. The "they only stay in business by keep you single" sort of comments.

Yeah? I think your comment, as someone that got paid by this market, completely miss the mark. People aren't tired of dating apps because they don't know how to use it, this is just a patronizing comment of someone that made money out of it, probably pushing features that made you guys stay in the business because you kept single people in the app.

> None of the dating apps ive seen have really keyed into the "monkey brain" side of love.

Now you should review the comments and your opinion then you might get so some conclusion related to why none of those apps works long-term for the user, including the one you were responsible for.

They really didn't, it's all survivorship bias, and those that survived were usually maintained out of necessity or not used at all.

> of course they required maintenance but were so basic that anyone could do it

The problem with most products made under planned economy is that they often didn't even work out of the factory, and required part replacement or hacking some solution right off the bat. And the maintenance wasn't really trivial most of the time. Yes, modern cars have planned obsolescence but they are far more reliable and don't need to be serviced that often.
I'm a big fan of Downey but this article is quite far from his best.

1. The data he fits is for distance (10k), and the conclusion ("why you can't beat the Freeze") concerns sprinting.

2. The claim that speed is a multiplicative model is fine and I agree based on the 10k data. But the people running against the Freeze aren't uniform from the population, so the argument is missing a step about what distribution (what percentile of the background distribution) they might be from.

3. There are some interesting numbers about how the high school girl is x% faster than Downey, the boy is y% faster than the girl, etc, but they don't link to the stats later in the article.
