Beyond the common business/pricing strategy used nowadays, well funded startups have been subsidizing users to gain traction, and it's concerning that we are only now realizing this.

In a way, what well-funded startups have been doing for years is a form of dumping, even if it isn't legally wrong. Startups with superior products, but without the capacity to subsidize users, often fail. In my opinion, this is a discussion that we need to have in the startup community.
Much of the EU misjudged Russia too, even having presumably much of the US intelligence on the matter available to them.

I think the takeaway is that the raw intelligence is much much better, but humans are fallible and made stupid by their priors nonetheless.
If you are only using those two tools, then you only have a system for replication (and snapshots), but not a backup system.

If there is a data corruption bug in ZFS, it will propagate to your remote and corrupt data there.

I hope you have something else in place besides those two tools.
For now: Just to start out, Any PDF works to start a conversation.
It's not a problem (well, most of the time), but you would see the requests for 'internal' resources in DNS (ie your machine is not on your network but tries to resolve the internal DNS records) and in certificate checks even for non-public PKIs
Is it purely lowercase? Someone gave an example of how to do this with 10 characters a-z 0-9 a few years ago: https://nicholaslyz.com/blog/2021/07/23/cracking-pdf-hashes-...

Also, is the password completely random? If it's not, you'd have a much easier time using a large dictionary rather than every possible 10-character word.

As in the article, it looks like on a consumer GPU you'd get on the order of 10MH/s, or 10 million hashes per second. I need someone to check my math on this, but 36**10/10_000_000 GPU-seconds (36 characters, optimistically assuming [a-z0-9] lowercase) is about 4000 GPU-days, so out of reach. The A100 attempt from the article only made it about 15x faster, so you'd still need to wait a few months at best. (This is with the assumption you know it's pure lowercase.)

Can someone confirm my math on this?
You can't create a product or service where every single feature is profitable on its own. If a feature exists, I expect it to work.
The ruling was kind of vague really. Keep fighting but avoid genocidey stuff I guess.
regardless of what happens inside the S-curve, the opening ends up getting a slight vacuum from suction, but there is no such suction on the opposite side.

Imagine the S is straight, but a vane attached to the side of the pipe blocks suction from one side.

I tried to illustrate this in ascii art, but it appears HN has an algorithm to destroy ascii art.

That vane will now have a slight vacuum on the side of the pipe, and it seems logical that it should want to move in that direction.

Now imagine that vane curved around the pipe so it forms the end of the S-bend. Same thing.
Every two or three years I oscillate been believing that self hosting is more stable, paying a professional company is more stable, self hosting is more stable, paying a professional...

The actual monetary outlay is not even a factor most of the time. But identifying which tech companies are stable is a challenge.
Well, I did. Among others, the one of my carriers demanded (still does!) physical presence in their store to transfer eSIM which is a significant cost to anyone when their phone breaks. This was not the case with a small plastic card.

I've also had actual costs being charged when eSIM provisioning failed with "error -2" or whatever during travel and then carrier support refused to do anything about it (after taking my money for the card of course).
Everything to do with immigration (outside the happy path) is going to feel "hopelessly broken" if it isn't fast and efficient. US Citizenship for many in the world is basically a life lottery ticket.

The "broken" pieces are more features than bugs.
Is it though? It seems many countries are too busy surveilling their own citizens facebook postings, emails and iphones than actually preventing bad things from happening around the world - one failure after another.
So would most secular liberal Israelis and HN’ers. Doesn’t have much to do with post Oct. 7th realities.

Ask HN: De-Googling my life: Alternatives to Google Sheets?
I am trying to de-Google my life.

But I like Google Sheets (simple UI, synchronizes between computers, free/affordable).

Have any of you had good experiences with a similar product but from another smaller company? (Like replacing Google Analytics with Plausible/Fathom/etc.)? E.g. a spreadsheet product from a small company costing $5-$10/month, something like that?

Thanks in advance!

Failure, intention, malice, strategy -- not sure, but bellicose people will look for ways to be bellicose.

And yes, humans are still involved, so human failure is always a possibility.
My mistake: New to HN

Just a question, why is my new post not showing up under Ask HN?
They thought of that. But with the current tech, the solution is a matter of implementing a social credit (or similar) system. Western nations will have this eventually, its inevitable. With it in place, you can achieve fine grain continuous compliance of any behavior. Scary from the populace pov, but an absolute miracle from the pov of the powerful.

I love this, great work!

One note: After submitting a video and answering the questions, the "New Videos to Watch" section appears to be videos similar to the one I uploaded, but may have not been uploaded to PlatoEdu. My expectation was that these were videos others had already uploaded and for which questions had already been generated. So I was surprised when I clicked on one and it started uploading. Had I known it was going to be added I wouldn't have clicked on it, as I'd first want to watch it to verify the content is high quality.

Again, great work. Bookmarked!
I agree that apps can and do provide better UX (or at least used to, now they're just mostly wrapping webviews, which sucks) - but this class of activity is something I'd never consider using an app for in the first place. An app for a big e-commerce platform make sense. An app for one-off, transactional buying relationship? That a red flag to me.
Or a Linux machine with a Ryzen using the internal GPU and the unified RAM (scroll down at llama.cpp and look for ROCm).
A lot of botnets work this way where they will use something like Twitter or Reddit as a command and control channel but not a thing you would want to rely on if being identified might mean your life.

Another article on the paper: https://scitechdaily.com/ais-achilles-heel-new-research-pinp...

Lede: Take an automated vehicle reading a road sign as an example. If someone has placed a sticker on the sign, this will not distract a human driver. But a machine may easily be put off because the sign is now different from the ones it was trained on.

“We would like algorithms to be stable in the sense, that if the input is changed slightly the output will remain almost the same. Real life involves all kinds of noise which humans are used to ignore, while machines can get confused,” says Professor Amir Yehudayoff, heading the group.

As the first in the world, the group together with researchers from other countries has proven mathematically that apart from simple problems it is not possible to create algorithms for Machine Learning that will always be stable. The scientific article describing the result was approved for publication at one of the leading international conferences on theoretical computer science, Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS).

“If the algorithm only errs under a few very rare circumstances this may well be acceptable. But if it does so under a large collection of circumstances, it is bad news.”

I think better plans need to be made for dismantling a country (that's what you're aiming at right?) in such a volatile part of the world. It can already be extremely bloody, as I said there are genocidal threats against Israel on all borders and Israel as a nuclear power can become genocidal too if it feels its own people are at risk of a second holocaust.
Simply crippling Israel's economy so it collapses and hoping for the best sounds like a very bad idea to me.

> Hence I do not get the "they are doing it onpy for money" attitude, especially on a site like HN with a considerable number of people making litteral FAANG money, money that comes exactly from these practices.

As someone who designed quite a few public systems like this, I can recognize one that's built with users in mind and one that's built with profiteering in mind.

There's no reason for eSIM to not be easily transferrable between devices like pSIMs are. There's no reason that the QR codes with provisioning tokens can't be reusable and revokable like pSIM ones. There's no reason that eSIM provisioning servers work on whitelist principle where they deny all phones the carrier doesn't profit from.

And yet now we have all that. And before (at least here in Europe, I'm aware that US citizens are very used and defensive about abusive business practices by their telecoms) we didn't.
Because no matter how great linux now is for gaming, mac for graphic design or whatever there is still a plethora of professional apps that need windows and some that need windows 11. This just don't do X attitude is so small minded.
>> I guess, but I haven't heard of any right-libertarians that want to do that

Well this is conversation is about libertarians, not "right-libertarians", I am more of Geo-Libertarian

>>Something's got to compel landowners to give unfettered access to their property to run wires and pipes to other properties

Yes it is called a voluntary agreement built into the title of the property (aka convents) normally when a subdivision of land is created, where by utility paths laid out by the developer. Subsequent purchasers of the land must agree to these convents, including utility easements, when they buy the property.

government is not required for that.
I have no idea what “globalization ecosystem” is supposed to mean. There is a list of software components (“products”) I’m probably supposed to see a use for, but why would I go to that website to browse them? There is mention of “inlang projects”, but what is “inlang” and why would I have such a project? There is mention of “plugins for inlang”, but again, what is inlang and why does it need plugins?
As someone who majored in philosophy, it's kind of embarrassing that I would struggle to name names as to who might be likely to be seen as the most brilliant by future generations.

I suppose if I'm allowed to name someone who only died recently, I suspect that Derek Parfit will be remembered as someone who was simply brilliant. His teletransportation problem will remain a classic thought experiment and he'll be remembered for his work on population ethics, though it's less clear to me what the future will make of his main project: working out a unified moral theory.

On the other hand, I can name some^ names as to which philosophers are most likely to be seen as influential:

Currently, it's looking like Peter Singer, Toby Ord and Will MacAskill will all have had significant influence through the Effective Altruism movement. Similarly, Nick Bostrom has had significant influence through his book Superintelligence.

Dan Dennet had significant influence by being one of the "Four Horsemen" of New Atheism. His direct influence peaked a long time ago, but it remains to be seen how responsible he will ultimately be seen for the West's decline in religion (or whether this will just be seen as as trend that was happening anyway).

Does that actually help in preventing conflict though?

Consider that both sides of US politics receive the same intelligence briefs on Russia V Ukraine, on alleged interference in US elections, on alleged US civil insurrection attempting interference in election results, etc.

Does todays "unquestionably better intelligence" result in different sides being aligned wrt interpreting this better intelligence?
Sure, still, humans in the loop making decisions on where to spend their attention and time. One example of improvement, there are satellites surveilling the entire globe continuously, that did not exist in the past -- very limited ability to get this information without flying planes and risking resources.

> The UK, Australia, Italy and Canada have become the latest countries to pause funding for the UN agency for Palestinians, UNRWA.

Western countries stop sending relief to Palestinians in Gaza...

> This comes after the agency announced the sacking of several of its staff over allegations of involvement in the 7 October Hamas attacks.

> UNRWA says it has ordered an investigation into information supplied by Israel.

... because Israel alleged that it was the relief workers who were the terrorists.
Price is driven by the market, and the market has a very short timeframe where anything is relevant (it generally only cares about the timeframe when the transaction is taking place).

However the management of helium as a resource needs to be thought of as “the entire time that humans will exist on Earth”, since it’s an almost completely non renewable resource where after using it once it’s often lost forever.
This. One of the biggest surprises from Covid was how little the Intelligence community knew what was happening within China.
China wasn't even hiding anything, they cancelled the Chinese New Year and was telling everyone. And the West just ignored it.

My kids that play Plague and League of Legends were keeping up with the news from China, just for games, and just looked at me and said 'this is going to be bad'. At the same time early on when US Gov was saying it was nothing.

Why didn't the Intelligence Community?

The sun contains 99.86% of the solar system's mass. Jupiter contains .2%. The other gas giants make up the rest, and everything else combined rounds down to zero. You could dump everything from Mercury to the Oort cloud into Jupiter and it's still not enough mass to turn it into a star.
I don't think it was in their interest to incriminate themselves more than to the degree that prosecution was able to proof already.
The reason satellites aren't used is their location is known, and because of this they are easily jammed or listened to. I'm not sure that the reasons you gave are really valid, especially for reception.

> Difficult to transport

I transmit to low earth satellites each weekend using a hand held radio that fits in a jeans pocket.

> high power usage

I use about 5w.

> radios can be acquired easily most anywhere

You can easily buy a radio that can do this for $20 on Amazon.

I don't need a specific view of the sky on passes where the satellite is high enough in the sky, which happens one or two times a day.

the fact there isn’t a better source does not make the only source reliable.

This is going to be a major issue when the actual court case will have to rely upon it.

the numbers will always be ‘too high’ as they are the number of civilian deaths in a war.

However, if they are much lower relative to similar conflicts than that changes a lot. Currently we have no way of knowing that, yet still people attribute these numbers some magical properties
Democracy is hell on earth. Whether it is a system of government, or a means by which groups make decisions or peddles their wares. The majority tends to encumber, enslave, and/or murder the minority. The eventual outcome of any purely democratic state or process is tyranny. This is why the founding fathers choose a republican form of government that uses democratic processes. Recall that Socrates was sentenced to die by a majority vote. With that in mind, then yes, the faux value assigned to "tech influencers" is a form of democracy that's just as poisonous as people who seek to "save democracy."
I don't have any knowledge of IFTTT's budget, but the truth value depends on the exact framing of cost.

Your framing is "the marginal cost of any given request rounds to zero" which is probably true.

Another likely true framing is "there are substantial numbers of users on legacy plans who in aggregate cost more to serve than they pay".

Imagine you have a Gaza like area where you live. You want to live in peace but the other folk want to wipe out your state on the basis that Islam must rule your area and destroy its current government. Also they occasionally fire rockets at your schools and get out and murder and rape people. Do you not think you might get annoyed with them?
Interesting, I must have missed the first Leo announcement. I really like how privacy conscious it is. They don’t store any chat record which is what I want.
Yes (although ZFS is pretty stable, it is always good to mention to not put all your eggs in a single basket).

My fallbacks are:

- an external drive that I connect once a year and just rsync-dump everything

- for important files, a separate box where I have borg/borgmatic [1] in deduplication mode installed; this is updated once in a while

Just curious: Do you have any reason to believe that such a data corruption bug is likely in ZFS? It seems like saying that ext4 could have a bug and you should also store stuff on NTFS, just in case (which I think does not make sense..).

Nix can do it incremental
U could split it into multiple derivations which get built into one package
For rust there ist the excellent https://crane.dev/index.html project

Or you can also go to the extreme and do 1:1
source to derivation mapping
So for example if ur project has 100 source files it could be built from 100 derivations, the language/CLI tools are flexible enough for that

https://discourse.nixos.org/t/distributed-nix-build-split-la...
https://discourse.nixos.org/t/per-file-derivations-with-c/19...

Don't know tho if there any well working smart nix tools which can make it well working /efficient, in theory it's very possible, just unsure about practicality/overheads
I think possibly living in a cheaper country makes a lot of difference to the economics. Especially if you live in a cheaper country and make something that people in the first world will pay first world rates.

They do, yes. There are some rules around the attribution, like if recruiters have reached in some capacity in the past xx months without an outcome, you may still not get an award, I believe.
HFGCS is far more "interesting" to listen to than numbers stations because there's actual traffic. It's also transmitted from multiple locations, so it's much more likely you'll be able to get a signal. Google a WebSDR and get to listening!

Not originally, no.

I've tried to explain, but despite being met with agreement regarding my perspective, the behavior would continue time and time again.

I find that simply not responding in such cases is the most effective action. Anything else feels like rewarding the behavior.

Note, however, that I do try and give them the benefit of the doubt. If it seems at all like they've tried to find answers or solve the issue themselves, have searched for and read related documentation, etc., and subsequently decided that my assistance is required, I am beyond happy to help. I really, truly, enjoy being helpful, but sometimes it feels like I'm being taken advantage of.

Most of the questions I get these days include a brief explanation of the effort made before contacting me, which I really appreciate. Needless to say, I absolutely do the same for others, even if they don't have the same expectation of me.

Hi, I've sent you an email.
Teams is garbage in lots of other ways too. Recently, when I end a teams meeting from the browser (in chrome), it will keep a zombie process going that will hit 100% CPU. Luckily my laptop reminds me of this after a few minutes because the fans go to turbojet mode. Closing chrome doesn't kill it. And it's not enough to kill chrome in the task manager, because it will reappear when I start chrome again. I have to force stop it in the chrome task manager first.
