Well you have many examples of man and women who display this seemingly irrational behavior. Saying its not real leaves the question why the victims side with the perpetrator in those scenarios.

At least five interesting things for your weekend (#48)
Teens will always find a way to spend money, with or without their parents knowing. I can remember when it was possible to rent adult videos on HBO. It would charge to your parents credit card but that only matters if they check their bill and many people do not.

I wouldn't venture to say what percentage of the income is coming from users are the under age of 18, beyond that is certainly a number larger than $0.

> But if it's a common scenario for an adult OF creator to be sexually interacting with an underage teenager online (and, really, "grooming" them), are we going to start seeing life-ruining prosecutions of creators?

This more or less happens on twitch.tv with alarming frequency. The hot tub streams are not much different than soft core imo. And users will get shoutouts and prizes (in the form of writing the users name on the streamers body) for sending money. It's all done in a way that's nearly impossible to attribute wrong doing to creators, though.
For some value of "gentle". Typically people mean by that stories (mostly British in origin) where the apocalypse isn't too bad and even a bit of fun. I don't think the characters in The Drowned World, The Burning World, etc. are having a fun time.
> I appreciate some people don't like particularly sour coffee

Is that normal in 'good' espresso? I've had some coffee from shops with a particularly sour taste and I don't like it. It's not really because it's 'unusual' to me, I just really don't like it.

PS: I don't drink it with milk nor sugar. Just plain espresso with nothing (just in the morning I do like it americano with water). I like the strong taste and I hate milk :)

As a shareholder, dividends are income. Cash going in to your account that is taxed immediately.

A stock buyback of 1000 shares means that your one share now represents 1/999,000th of the company, not 1/1,000,000th. Thus the share is worth more. It isn't income until you sell the share and pay taxes on the gains. This flexibility is useful and can result in tax savings depending on the situation.
Thanks for sharing Brooklyn text demo. Haven't seen it!

Captioning images using VLM would definitely help as an additional conditional feature. Maybe it even would be enough to use only embeddings of captions to do search!

We chose aerial satellite instead of street view because we plan to apply the same technologies where street view is not available, e.g. crop fields or forests. Another thing is that we plan to monitor areas that change frequently and street view data is not enough to keep up. But the idea is great! Although your query "palace of fine arts" is not extremely exciting because it is searchable via Google Maps :D

"USF" by itself doesn't work, "USF word" pointed me where needed xD

"beach" and "picnic tables" indeed doesn't work in object mode, but works great in "big" mode, probably because they needs some context around themselves

"lots of people" didn't work, "a crowd of people" seems to work. Interesting, that almost the same (semantically) queries produce very different results!

"Banana republic" refers to governments that are captured by (foreign) corporate interests. In NYC, that's going to be the city government and army-sized police force (sometimes described as "occupying") operating mostly for the benefit of the financial, real estate, and (to a lesser extent) entertainment industries, all of which, I'd wager, involve foreign nationals at a higher rate than exist in the general population.

When the NYPD is harassing native New Yorkers so that investors from Israel, Europe, and China feel more comfortable (on both a personal and economic level), that feels quite "banana republic"-y to me.
Every generation shockingly reinterprets things. Our generation "shockingly" interprets a mixed race couple kissing on TV as normal, instead of obscene enough to be banned.
I'm currently reading this book and it's incredible.

It paints a picture of how rich plant and animal life was before contact with Europeans. It shows how Native Californians depended on and deeply understood every root, leaf, flower, and fruit of every plant in their area. It explains how Native Californians were responsible for preserving and enriching the wildlife around them -- doing controlled burns, pruning, managing animal populations, sowing seeds, etc. These areas weren't "wild" or "pristine" at all, they were carefully managed and densely populated by Native Americans for over 10,000 years.

I think oftentimes we feel hopeless about our relationship to nature. We think if we touch it, we'll destroy it. Learning about how Native Californians lived shows how that's not inevitable at all.
Will this hack work on CPUs newer than Haswell?
They're not constant even within a generation. The M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max are each monolithic SoCs of different sizes (no chiplets) with different CPU cluster configurations, and the phone chip of the same generation is yet another configuration.

In theory, if the other side can't outpay you on lawyers, truth should be an absolute defense to allegations of defamation. If you're careful enough not to just write "she faked the data" but "based on this evidence ... we believe the data is fake", that should be watertight.
Yup, that could very well be the case. If there's a nicer handoff built into AidPods that would help a lot.

Once this feature comes out I think I'll be trying it!
What needs to be constant and up to date is reviewing the new patches and which ones can be released and not locked.

The versions that are not locked can be a test or dev environment that constantly updates and checks for errors.

Security threats are a thing, how we do and don't use technologies as well which ones can also factor in to how much is exposed.
Megabus, Coach USA Bankruptcy: Wall Street Wrecked Discount Bus Option
My gut feeling is this number doesn't match our assumptions.

For instance moderation and community management alone must be a huge pool of people. While the content and comments can be adult, they'll need to deal with all the payment related back and forth, including chargebacks, legal inquiries etc. Same for doxxing, underage filtering, spam and so on.

I assume most if not all of it is a different company which isn't counted in the 42 employees.

Of course engineering can be treated the same, with sub-contracting companies dealing with the actual running of the service or part of the developement.

> For all the people who are saying you don’t need X and Y - what is the simplest way to deploy a web app using TLS on a VPS/VM?

Depends on your defintion of simplest. In terms of set-up probably someting like https://dokku.com/ . It's a simple self-hosted version of herokku, you can be up and running in literally minutes and because its compatable with herokku you can re-use lots of github action/ other build scripts.

In terms of simple (low complexity and small sized components) just install caddy as your reverse-proxy which will do ssl certs and reverse proxy for you with extremely little, if any config. Then just have your github action push your containers there using whatever container set-up you prefer. This is usually a simple script on your build process like "build container -> push container to registry -> tell machine to get new image and run it" or even simpler just have your server check for updated images routinely if you don't want to handle communication between build script and server. That's the bare minimum needed. This takes a bit longer than a few minutes but you can still be done within an hour or two.

Regardless of your choice it shouldn't take more than 1 working day, and will save you a lot of money compared to the big cloud providers. You can run as low as €4.51/month with hetzner and that includes a static IP and basically unlimited traffic. An EC2 instance with the same hardware costs about $23 a month for comparison (yes shared vs dedicated vCPU, but even the dedicated offer at hetzner is cheaper, and this is compared to a serverless set-up where loads are spikey, which is exactly how we can benefit from a shared vCPU situation).
That tracks. Google doesn't want to get bogged down with operational work.

A lot of the operations for Waymo were also done by contractors Alphabet hired via Adecco.

Most contract hiring at Google is hired from Adecco.

Exactly this. Kubernetes has a million knobs and dials you can tweak for any use case you want, but equally they can be ignored and you can use the core functionality and keep it simple.

I can have something with nice deployments, super easy logs and metrics, and a nice developer experience setup in no time at all.
And despite all that, the FAA can still route a large percentage of all air traffic on approach to a major international airport right over the top of the “wilderness area”.

Nothing like listening to few hours of planes on approach to SeaTac to spoil the whole “untrammeled by man” thing.

(Not that I have a good solution to this problem. Air traffic noise abatement involves a ton of tradeoffs)
The allegation is the prosecutor got a cushy gig at the law firm, not that they subsequently worked on the case after switching sides.
I feel extremely conflicted reading something like this. On one hand, everything you said is technically true. On the other hand, when I think of who benefits politically from debunking the myth of wildness, it's the people who want to allow unlimited private exploitation of public lands, log and mine national parks, and act like any place with rocks and trees is of equal value to any other place with rocks and trees.

In truth, the idea of wilderness is a useful heuristic that simplifies incredibly complex questions about the functioning of ecosystems and their worth to us.

Labeling it a myth is a way of destroying its value as a heuristic without offering any replacement, leaving people unable to explain and defend policies that prevent unchecked commercial exploitation of public lands.
Yes! Also, use the damn framework, instead of rebuilding shitty versions of features it offers! One good seasoned person will outperform 10 non-seasoned people in this regard. It will add up over time. I think half the real reason people are soured to monoliths is because they are bad, poorly run monoliths.
They definitely broadcast almost-definite timelines. You see regularly SpaceX prepping launch sites for FAA approval that comes less than a day before launch.
If the whole legal system protects and even encourages such actions, maybe...wait an UPS guy is knocking the door, strange I don't remember ordering anything...hold on.

Things are already measured differently, and always have been. Economists and policymakers have never really focused on maximizing GDP. They are fully aware that voters, lobbyists, and campaign contributors don't care about GDP as an abstract metric.
As opposed to the traditional astronomically expensive public launches which haven’t had any real innovation since the 1960s?

The cloud services analogy isn’t a good one because it wasn’t mainly about cost. It’s about not having to deal with the logistics of a commodity layer.
I think this idea that Google Play is tracking the crap out of you (especially if you’re adept at changing your account privacy settings) is a bit overplayed.

Google Play makes the bulk of its money on in-app purchases. It’s essentially the same software royalty business model as the PlayStation Store or Steam. I doubt it’s really a heavy personal information tracking app like Google Search, with the exception of personalization for ads for apps within the store (which can be de-personalized).

Now, that’s not to say I don’t think it’s good to De-Google your life. However, for me personally, stuff like breaking bank apps or being unable to buy paid apps would be something of a dealbreaker.

Using Android with an alternative browser, ad blocker, and email service that are outside of Google, and auditing your account privacy settings is already avoiding 95% of the personal info tracking that Google does on the average person, if I were to guess.
The real head scratcher is why Waymo would partner with Uber aside from operational incompetence. Maybe Waymo decided that depot services are too hard to spin up, but Uber doesn't do depot services either, so they're paying for Uber to spin that up and a little extra for Uber to make a profit while introducing an intermediary for ride hailing instead of using the ride hailing app they already built.
I didn't like the movie of High-Rise because it changes the whole point of the book. In the movie it was conflict between the rich and poor people in the apartment tower (basically redoing Snowpiercer but in a building). In the book, it was clear this was a luxury building. Everyone is wealthy if they can afford to live there. The point was that these people were so bored with their comfortable lives that they started fighting each other for no reason.
> My point was rather that I cannot imagine that a single VM that runs the low-latency service such as the proxy is also running any type of heavier weight services

I encourage you to imagine harder then. Nearly all of the software is running bare metal and as I said it’s all replicated on each machine. So the same server is running the reverse proxy and the CDN and the Workers runtime and Cloudflare tunnels because the any cast routing they use intentionally means that every single inbound request always hits the nearest server which generally processes the entire request right on the machine and uses Unimog to distribute the requests within a data center [1] and Plurimog [2] to distribute load between data centers. I’ll repeat again - every server runs the proxy along with every other internal and external product and there’s no VMs or containers*.

I’m not going to engage with the rest of your hypothesis that it’s not worth the effort until services are falling over or it’s the root cause for some tail latency since the team has indicated it clearly is worth their time and value to Cloudflare.

[1] https://blog.cloudflare.com/unimog-cloudflares-edge-load-bal...

[2] https://blog.cloudflare.com/meet-traffic-manager/

* technically there are VMs but it’s not worth thinking about for this specific discussion since the VM is closer to being just like any other application. It’s not virtualizing the cloudflare software stack but just providing a layer of isolation.

> I am not saying that microplastics are harmless, but statements like: "It seems incredibly unlikely that they don't disrupt various mechanisms in the environment and our bodies." are baseless. It's unlikely that it does nothing, but it's more than likely (all things considered) that it's potentially worth the cost.

I don't see how you can evaluate the cost of using plastics everywhere when the biggest benefit is simply to increase profits for huge corporations that don't have to worry about cleaning up after themselves.

> But it is also alarmist to assume they must have a significant negative impact without any evidence for such a negative impact.

I don't think it is alarmist to decry putting microplastics with unknown effects, into literally everywhere, including people's brains and mothers' breast milk. It's an obviously stupid thing to do - "we don't know what this does, let's pollute the entire planet with it and see what happens".

> if they were shortening our lifespan by a significant amount we would probably already know about it.

That seems overly optimistic to me. There's plenty of nasty chemicals/products that were sold for long periods of time before we eventually realised the damage that we were doing. e.g. lead in fuel, asbestos in buildings, tobacco usage etc. We have already noticed the direct harm that PFAs cause to human development and yet you seem happy to carry on spreading microplastics everywhere without requiring any evidence that they are safe.
Editors: I use Jetbrains IDEs. I am unusually sensitive to my tools freezing up and IntelliJ IDEA is much better than Eclipse. It has a local LLM that can fill in the line you are working on which is very helpful. I think the coding assistant is better at sci-fi chat than it is at coding but if they could reduce the overhead of cutting, pasting and such the IDE integrated assistant might win.

I use the IDE as much as I can to edit files on my local machine but for remote sysadmin I use vim. I use a small fraction of its functionality (sort of like notepad) and the only configuration change I make is to add

:syntax off

because the average terminal doesn't consistently have readable contrast for alternate colors. My theory is that I might need to use an editor when I'm fixing a machine is thoroughly trashed, vim is already installed, and I don't have the opportunity to install an alternate editor or configure the editor. Or maybe I am helping somebody with their machine and I don't want to touch anything more than I have to.

Code Assistant: We have a data retention deal with Microsoft for Copilot at work so I use it.

My usual strategy for programming languages I use a lot is to spend a lot of time reading and re-reading the official documentation and learn how to look things up quickly. For languages with good docs like Python, Java and Ruby this is the way to go. Other languages have worse docs. I've never been a fan of stack overflow.

Copilot often answers questions that I might answer from the docs correctly and quickly. Sometimes it gets it wrong. The other day it was telling me that, in Java, there is no artity0 method Optional.orElseThrow() but there is.

Copilot does a great job of writing little Python, shell and cmd.exe scripts to do little tasks and it was a big help figuring out how to use PostgresSQL functionality I don't have on my fingertips and then expressing it in JooQ. I wouldn't expect it to succeed at writing anything big that has a complex relationship with its environment though.

Learning: I liked the Python and SQL courses at HackerRank both of which I felt were a lot of fun and low friction. I started knowing a lot but I learned even more.

To deal with rapid technological change over a lifetime the best resource I had was the formal education I received as an undergrad and PhD student plus a lifetime of voracious reading. Just about the only things that have intimidated me are cardiology (so many kinds of block) and continuations in Scheme. (Though there are things in psychodiagnostics that I had to chew over for 20 years to really understand) A firm foundation in the basics of math and applied math (e.g. theoretical physics) has served me well. The experience of doing original research means that if I have some hard coding problem (discovering the rules to make a system work and keep working) or need to debug problems in color management that affect my art projects I know how to draw a circle around some system and figure out the parts and how they fit together and master it.

Consider that without allowing some of that kind of use, there might not be enough political willpower for more “hardcore” things like wilderness areas. It’s a delicate balance between preservation and access and you (politically) cannot have one without the other.

No product I’ve ever worked on has been successful enough to require the optimizations that microservices can provide.

Part of the reason they weren’t successful was because my managers insist on starting with microservices.

Starting with microservices prevents teams from finding product-market fit that would justify microservices.

Sometimes the mob wants to buy up real estate. And if people are willing to sell, it's just a transaction with varying shades of exploitation (knowing that it will be worth more when they resell).

But if those people don't want to sell, the mob doesn't just offer larger sums. There are then elements of intimidation. Strange cars drive past your home at night. You see big ugly men staring at you in a menacing fashion when you're out in public, then they wave and walk away. Bricks through windows. Anonymous threats of grave harm or murder. The escalation is constant. Anyone who sells at that point knows better than to start blabbing that they did so only because their lives were in danger... the people who extorted them don't much like being in the news even after the fact.

But that's the mob. I'm sure it was different in the first half of the 20th century in the place now known as Israel.
Show HN: Skate, daemonless mini PAAS that can deploy K8s manifests
I'm a big fan of simple paas setups like Dokku, but I'm tired of learning yet another configuration syntax or ceremony when I'm perfectly happy building on kubernetes. But god do I not want to self host it. Not even k3s. I just want to be able to deploy things across a small cluster.

Currently supported resources:
- Deployments
- Daemonsets
- Cronjobs
- Services
- Ingress
- Secrets

Skate comes with letsencrypt powered TLS automatically when using ingress.

It leverages podman, openresty, ipvs and coredns.

It's very far from feature-complete, but is definitely at the point of being useful.
