Get 2 VPS, put your DNS on both (ns1, ns2), use low TTL values, use geolocalization or a rough rule of thumb to have each redirect traffic to the VPS the closest to your client or with the least load

Finally, make each VPS check on the health of the other to stop its DNS pointing to the other VPS: you will already have to have them check on eachother for the load checks.

It's a fun and practical exercise (you may have to write your own DNS servers), after which you can then think on how to do that for more than 2 VPS and the algorithms it entails
"Aside from its many other flaws, post-70s neoliberalism added a bizarre abstraction layer of economic delusion over everything. This suppressed the core truths of physical reality, common sense, and the basic social requirement of sane reciprocal relationships, and did its best to make consequences as indirect and deniable as possible."

I think I need to print that out and put on the wall. However, did you live through it youself? I think it it hard to evaluate stuff like this with 2nd hand experience only.

"Employee" is ambiguous because it doesn't convey which business someone is an employee of. A company-specific demonym is short and precise.
We’re missing the performance otherwise. Unless you’re immortal.
I'd much rather a partnership than an acquisition. Valve is great, but open, repairable hardware is not their core mission. I think Framework needs to stay independent to maintain that.

But also, Valve is doing a decent job of it on their own already, with the steamdeck being quite repairable and upgradeable, especially in comparison to the competition. I'd rather there be a greater number of companies all independently demonstrating that repairable hardware can be a commercial success rather than the market takeaway being "oh that's just that weird Framework thing, it won't work for us".

I will paste the previous code from this model into another model and have it review/fix it while this model is working. A second doctor's opinion if you will.
That might be the case with places like the UK which has a trade deficit with the US but still gets taxed at 10%. I feel however the penguins put up an obvious non tariff barrier by only accepting fish rather than hard currency.
Another solution I quite like is highlighting the headings of all the sections that are currently on screen.
They might have been citizens. He is a well-known liar. It most certainly is the op-ed. I know for a fact the Adelsons made contributions to the campaign for this single issue (they are fanatically Jewish and donate to Israel exorbitant amounts out of religiosity). The irony is they made their fortunes in gambling... Due process would have our gov lay out explicitly why she and others were arrested, but Thugs will behave as thugs until a bigger bully comes around
For all of the author's bloviating and self-congratulating navel gazing, the article manages to largely overlook values, the only mention of them being to dismissively reduce them to irrational tribalism.

In truth, values and ethics are fundamental to effectively discussing politics. After all, all political decisions are ultimately about how we want to shape the world that we as humans live in. There can be no agreement about economic policy without a shared understanding of the ultimate goal of an economy. No agreement about foreign relations without a shared understanding of the role of nations as representatives for groups of humans, and how we believe one group of humans should interact with another group of humans through the lens of nations.

For the last 20 years at least, the leadership of the two main political parties in the US have largely invested in messaging around the values that they represent. The policies are different too, but over time we've gone from a world where there were at least some cases where the two parties had different policies for how to reach the same goals, and into a world where the parties policies are aiming to realize fundamentally different visions of the world, based on fundamentally different values.

In this world, asking "who did you vote for" isn't a matter of tribalism, but it is a (good) proxy for asking someone "what are your values". If you discover that someone has completely different values from you, then discussing policy isn't going to be useful anyway, because there's no way you'll agree on a single policy when you have different fundamental values.
There are API’s that chrome provides that allows servers to validate whether the request came from an official chrome browser. That would detect that this curl isn’t really chrome.

It’d be nice if something could support curl’s arguments but drive an actual headless chrome browser.
It's nice that the 'storage' event also gives you event.newValue to spare you the race condition of reading from localStorage.

Show HN: Language Learning with Comics
Hey friends,

I'm currently learning Mandarin and was looking for a way to practice my reading that I'd be looking forward to do every day. Graded readers are quickly boring, and normal books are way too far up for my level.

Comics and webtoons are the perfect format: fun, conversational style, contains slang. But unfortunately are not compatible with traditional language learning apps (linq, language reactor, migaku, etc.) and manually looking up text disrupts the reading a lot.

So I made a little Chrome extension that runs OCR on the comics, translates them, and overlays popups on top of the speech bubbles to easily read them.

I also made a version that runs in the Kindle browser, by building a very optimized/limited webpage that doesn't crash the very-limited Kindle browser.

Maybe it can be useful to some here :)
> The cost of servicing this debt — paying interest rather than reducing principal — is already a major budget item, surpassing Medicare, approaching Defense and Social Security levels.

Military ("defense") expenditures are always understated. Over $180 billion in veteran's benefits were paid last year. This is not counted as military expenditures. Also the debt you talk about is to not only pay for the money sent to Israel and the Ukraine last year, but still for the adventures in Afghanistan, Iraq etc. That just becomes generic debt in the skewed analysis, alienated from its past military adventures. The military budget is higher than stated.
It's impossible for both things to be true. For the dollar to be the reserve currency countries need to accumulate dollars. They can't do that unless more dollars leave the US than come back.

The problem is that countries don't just take the dollars and sit on them. We're on the third iteration of solving this intractable problem:

Try 1 was gold. The US was running out of gold and Nixon had to end redemption of dollars for gold.

Try 2 was assets (think the Japanese buying everything in the 80s). That was unpopular and the Plaza Accords put an end to it with significant damage to the Japanese economy

Try 3 is government debt. But it's the same fundamental problem. The US isn't ever willingly going to give back assets for this debt. Everyone agrees with the polite fiction that the US will and so things are fine. But if they ever expect actual stuff for that debt it will all break down again.
Here are a few shadowbanned users I saw in a /single/ thread (who don't know they're shadowbanned as they prolifically comment away), whose comments are pretty normie-tier:

It's all very "Everyone Stalin's sending to the gulags is a criminal, though, so keep your nose down and mind your own business." God sees everything, you know.
You can't look at this move as something in isolation. Trump has also completely flipped geopolitics on their head.

Here's other things he's done:

- Threatened Canada

- Threatened Greenland/Denmark

- Supported Russia (it's obvious)

- Told NATO allies export F-35s will be nerfed just in case we come into conflict

Americans are already very insular, I don't think you all realise just how much you've pissed off Europe and Canada (I live in both places throughout the year, family in both)...

American multinationals have benefited greatly from trade with other countries... Look around the world: iPhones and Apple products everywhere, Windows computers, Google dominates search, the USA is a top travel destination, American weapons are used by most allies, etc...

Right now in Canada and European countries we're talking about completely cutting out all US trade and travel. Like all of it. It won't be policy but the US has completely destroyed all goodwill and cultural influence it has across the "West".

Because of immense hatred of Russia, China is now the "lesser evil" and pretty much all developed countries will band together. And not only will countries move on from US hegemony, they'll accept any pain that comes with it because Russia is threatening Europe and the USA is threatening their neighbours. Without the geopolitical aspect, the US might have won this trade war. But no one is going to bow to the US to then get sold out and conquered by Russia...
Feels reasonable in the first few paragraphs, then quickly starts reading like science fiction.

Would love to read a perspective examining "what is the slowest reasonable pace of development we could expect." This feels to me like the fastest (unreasonable) trajectory we could expect.

I'm going to assume you're a man and probably have a little less experience here than the average woman does.

This said, I am a man too, but a large part of my career was supporting lawyers and court systems, including family court systems.

Choosing the wrong partner is one of the biggest risks you take in your life, especially for a woman. This is one of those things that can easily lead to you being bankrupt with nothing. This can lead to you being abused or raped. You can end up with a child that you did not want to have. You can end up dead.

With states pushing to revoke things like no fault divorce (and women being the primary initiators of divorce) it's not hard see the traps women lived in the past coming back.

Then add the strongly religious connotations marriage has in the US and you quickly see why this is a rollercoaster that emotions and politics are not going to be removed from.
This is how SVG and most other drawing programs are implemented under the hood.

Down at the lowest level the engine can only really do straight lines. You may ask for a circle or a bezier, but the engine only approximates this with enough fidelity that you wouldn't notice the flaws. Beziers end up being approximated as a bunch of tiny line segments. Circles and ellipses can be approximated pretty easily as a handful of beziers.

Beziers are particularly useful because they have some handy properties. You don't need to do any trig to calculate them (like you do for arcs). They're extremely simple to compute, and any bezier curve can be split into two smaller bezier curves. That last fact makes it easier to have varying fidelity along the curve.

Curious what your use case is as opposed to using the official LAN support? For me, I'm trying to get it working completely without internet, ie on a plane. It's so sad to me that built-in LAN requires an internet connection.

True but that mechanism is indirect at best. Usually high interest rates discourages more borrowing and lowers spending that way.

But in this case the price increase is already due to the government putting its thumb on the scale. The best way to reduce the price is not via the Rube Goldberg interest rate mechanism to shrink spending and thus demand for the $60 shoe, but by removing the tariff and make it a $30 shoe immediately.
He also said that he discussed his plan with Lee Iacocca.

I think they meant budget deficit, whereas you refer to trade deficit.
I think we should be aware of history, that does not imply acceptance nor agreement.

Instead had I said this ten years ago, the majority of politicians in the EU would have been d’accord. What does that imply about our political systems?

There have been a bunch of alliances in Europe over the centuries, none have been permanent.

> You’re calling Trump “economically illiterate,”

I mean he's gone bankrupt 6 times including managing to bankrupt a casino a business where on average people give you money to get less money in return... He also confuses simple economic terms like equating trade deficits with tariffs.
Onyx (YC W24) Is Hiring
This has been a cornerstone of his campaigns since the beginning. I don't necessarily believe they understand the details, but I do believe they understood he would impose high tariffs, and still voted for him anyway. Tariffs weren't a throwaway line, or something. He repeated it everywhere he could.

I think it is true that most people don't understand the economic principles of tariffs, including most economists. But I do think the plan he's implemented largely comports with what he's consistently said he would do.
Europe has tariffs. Everywhere has tariffs. Europe doesn't have tariffs like this.

Europe has higher taxes. But, somehow, despite the inefficiencies of governments, this produces a happier populace who work less and vacation more.
Empathy for why people vote the way they do has to be balanced with empathy for those harmed by horrible voting decisions.

I believe the OP was talking about the fiscal deficit, your chart shows the trade deficit.
There's definitely a Pierre Menard joke in here somewhere
I'm an American that owns/operates a design and manufacturing company -- we build customer products in China and export to USA buyers. Let's say we build the customer product and sell it to them for $20 ex-works China. That means USA customer must pick it up at our dock and pay the shipping fee. Lets ignore the shipping fee to keep it simple. Assume USA customer currently sells the product for $80 in USA. If USA customer now needs to pay 35% import tariffs on $20/unit, then their cost goes up $7 USD. If USA customer passes 100% of that cost to their own final end customer, then they need to start selling it for $87 USD. So 35% tariff ultimately turns into a price increase of 8.75% for consumers.

But actually, tariffs have been 10-25% anyway for a number of years. So for existing products, some tariff cost was already included in that $7 total tariff cost. So, for existing products, the cost may go up ~$3.50 and our customer would sell it for ~$83.50 and the actual increase consumers would see is ~ 4.5% increase.

Now, this is a typical pricing scenario for our USA customers, they are selling individual products that cost $20 in China at volume, in USA at retail for ~3x-5x the per unit purchase cost from China, this is quite common. Now, the USA customer must buy ~5000pcs to get that $20 USD unit cost, while consumers get to buy only 1pcs and pay $87 USD, whether or not that is fair pricing given the risks and R&D costs, that's just the reality. Anyway, I'm not sure of the ex-works cost of shoes, but I'm highly confident big brands like Nike sell them for at least 5X the ex-works cost. So the math would be similar.
>I liked Sowell's book, "Wealth, Poverty and Politics". Can you recommend one of Piketty's books?

I'd say start with Capital in the Twenty-First Century by Thomas Piketty. Its a great read, if a bit thick (its a very large tome indeed and very information dense)

>Is that necessarily true? The US has abundant natural resources. Tesla could be mining lithium a few hundred miles away from their factory instead of importing it...

Its about access, cost, amount, etc. One company getting lithium is a rounding error. The entire market for lithium is bigger than Tesla and even electric cars. Then there is the entire question of how fast you can get the lithium online. Its not like most (if any) of the businesses reliant on lithium - which again, more than just auto makers certainly - take in raw lithium and produce something with it. It is typically pre-processed depending on its use. So that needs to come online too. Also, is there enough of the US workforce that can get this material online quickly? We're talking years before something comes online in sufficient quantity to be meaningful, let alone replace other sources.

Then you have to ask how much of the given resource do we even have? Whats the quality? Not all lithium deposits are the same, after all.

And many more questions I am not likely thinking about, and this is only in regard to lithium. Think about the raw materials for everything in our lives - gold, silver, uranium, iron etc. and you'll find in more cases than not its simply unfeasible to start mining & processing it in the US, you will have to import it.

Your idea of what this takes is, frankly, a bit too simplistic to be realistic or useful until it answers all of these kinds of questions.
I'm not seeing them show up, with or without JS enabled (firefox on android). I might suggest having some interaction for non-js users though (details element, perhaps?)
Thanks I didn't know that
Thank you very much for your feedback. Building a great product that did not have variable usage costs that allowed for a generous free tier was my primary motivation for undertaking this project. While there is a need to monetize, I also believe there is a niche for an app with a more expansive free tier than exists in the space currently.

Only using the OFF database would be untenable to me as an end user. I think most people do not want to know or care about where the data is coming from, they just want it to be accurate and easy to use. I've listed the usability reasons here for why I can't offer that how I want with only OFF (and that's no dig to OFF, it is a fantastic project, and a primary motivator for this project and its license structure).

Schematic: Stripe based components for SaaS billing
I'm not proposing that this all happen on an L1, of course you need some time for various parties to decide whether settlement should proceed. Nor am I saying that all ledgers everywhere would benefit from this change.

I'm just saying that many businesses would benefit (or become feasible in the first place) if the time between service-rendered and payment-pending were sub-second and built into the product and instead of relying on month-long-billing cycles. It would also be beneficial if the infrastructure for handling that process were common to both parties rather than having each of them track it separately hoping they agree on what is owed after the fact.
Hi Josh:
Pierre, Open Food Facts NGO co-founder.
1. Generic, non-branded foods & 2. Simple prepared foods that ease food entry:
Those two could be solved in a deterministic way, and we'd be happy for a separate Open Food Facts hosted API endpoint (basically a small backend serving a combination of all national generic databases), or improvement to the core software
3. Restaurant foods
- Open Prices (our effort to collect geo-located prices on products) could be an entry point to collect menus, and potentially estimate nutrition for food in restaurants, since we have support for products without barcode.
4. Micronutrients beyond those reported by the brand.
- We have an issue to propose approximation of micro-nutrients from reputable database: https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server/issues...

We're happy to cover more use-cases, so feel free to join the project and contribute your time/coding skills to help us solve those issues.

The main use case of migrations is that you need to migrate the data in some way as well. The schema is the easy bit. This doesn't really address data in any way as far as I can see?
It is! Or at least, it can be.

The exact lines are a bit blurry and subjective, but this is a decent overview: https://www.lib.uchicago.edu/copyrightinfo/fairuse.html

If you're charging people to watch in a movie theater, you can't pretend that's educational. But if you want to show a video in a classroom that's relevant to the coursework, it's absolutely covered under fair use.
That is one exception, and it's only because Huel reports that info since it's a fortified meal replacement product. The same way a multivitamin would have that info on its label.

But consider that OpenFoodFacts can't give you that info on just about anything else, especially not basic foods like "apples" or "tofu" or "chicken breast".

I'm not dumping on the project. It's really useful to have a database of packaged food labels. It's just not trying to solve this problem.
This addresses questions I had about certificate generation across nodes/regions.

Slightly off topic, but something nice about Caddy is that it automatically falls back on ZeroSSL (if you have an email address defined) when you hit letsencrypt rate limits. I have a case where more certificates for a root domain are needed than LE is capable of providing, and this fallback solves for the rate limit problem seamlessly.
