I live in Oakland and this resonates true from what I’ve seen, where Flock is a deeply divided issue in Alameda county compared to the overall negative sentiment you find on HN.

Listening in on city council meetings or even just perusing Nextdoor posts you’ll find there are many proponents for more cameras generally from folks tired of crime.

thank you! - minor feedback, make the end URL case-insensitive for those that want to navigate by URL quickly

Is that link for personal water use or does it account for farming?

What do you suggest to people who exercise everyday?

> Mitm attacks are still a thing

TLS directly addresses this.

> Don't connect to random public WiFi. If you do, don't login to any online account on it, or send confidential information.

Why? TLS establishes secure channels over insecure networks.

Develop an exercise routine.

I hated the feeling of running or working out hung over and used that as motivation to not drink. Would rather feel good working out and feel good after the work out.

I suspect the reason why people have stopped posting is because of increasing content from other sources. It's definitely my reason.

It's a negative feedback loop.

This doesn’t bring me confidence. Just rented from Hertz yesterday and after waiting 30 minutes to even get to the counter I needed to wait another 30 minutes for them to locate the car I was supposed to be renting. They never located the car and swapped to a different car. I’m going to be paranoid that someone else’s rental is going to show up on my tab now. Not a good experience especially after a very long flight. Their process and operations is broken. It should not take more than an hour to rent a car when you’ve already reserved online and already have an account setup with them.

I normally rent with Enterprise or Sixt through Lyft with no issue but they did not have any available cars so I tried Hertz. It now doesn’t surprise me Hertz went into bankruptcy.

I wonder if timing may have been off. I'd like to imagine that re-introducing it today there'd be more appetite for a personal social network, now that Facebook/Meta is pivoting away.

But, yes I agree, I used to use Path also with just a group of 5 friends around 2013. The app was cleanly designed and it definitely felt intimate.

Visited Venice last year late November. During the day, the most enjoyable parts for me were walking a bit further away toward the northern sections (Cannaregio) which are away from the main shopping centers and thus crowds. Then during the late night/early morning I would walk with my wife and explore the city a bit more once the crowds died down and the city felt quiet (after 11pm). That was romantic. I’d parrot with others that it’s amazing not having to worry about cars.

We did Rome, Florence, Tivoli, Siena and Venice. All beautiful cities coupled with amazing food. Florence felt like I was walking through a painting at times; I loved them all.

Works fine for 1 application, but what about for thousands of services with many teams?

Everything is difficult with scale. We can’t expect every service owner to implement authz correctly, but if we can expose and build tools that help standardize and abstract as much as possible the difficulties of authz then service owners can focus their energy on other things.

I agree that identity is important, but I would argue that challenge lies in authn and would be it’s own separate article. This focus was on authz. We are assuming we trust the passed in identity at this point. Eg user has authned, session is established, and we trust that the identity has been passed securely from downstream.

> Normally the client sends a single CONNECT [hostname] request to the proxy and after that the proxy just forwards TCP packets on that connection, which is nothing that HTTP/2 can improve.

Trying to test my understanding - Does the CONNECT HTTP protocol need to match the underlying payload protocol. Eg After CONNECT over HTTP/1.1 tunnel is established it’s still possible for the client to still use HTTP/2 with the upstream server for its underlying payloads correct?

My intuition is that it doesn’t need to match because the proxy has no way to know what http protocol is being used when the workload is encrypted.

Not VR, but "Just Dance", a video game series teaches actual dance moves.

They just place ads on it. Motivate runs a lot of bikes: Ford Gobike (SF), CitiBike (NYC), Biketown (Portland), Capital Bikeshare (DC), Divy (Chicago), BlueBikes (Boston), Cogo (Columbus), Nice Ride (Minneappolis),

Been thinking of cancelling my reservation as well. My need for a car has dramatically decreased in the last couple of years with the ubiquity of ride sharing services. Now with last mile services spreading more and more (scooters/bike shares) I'm thinking this trend will only increase.

I take the bus and bike to work. Small groceries are also done by bicycle. Whenever I go out to eat with my wife we use a ride sharing service because we enjoy a drink or two with our meals.

This is often parroted. Comparing long time runners with those that have not run has shown that runner's joints / knees are actually better than those that do not run.

Run with proper form, don't ramp mileage and intensity too fast. Humans are built for long distance running.

When you get into technology, you should go under the assumption that you will be a student for the rest of your life. Otherwise you will get left behind. My Dad is in tech (I followed his footsteps). For as long as I can remember growing up he always had a book with him in his free time. He started with punchcards.

How are you curating this information?

How do you separate yourself from the existing hundreds of threat intelligence feeds already out there? (VirusTotal, PassiveTotal, Facebook ThreatExchange, Anomali, Taxii Stix, etc.)

I used to pentest for a living. Still do some red team exercises every now and then, but far less now that I'm mainly blueteam focused.

I personally organized my report into three sections, which seemed to work well. Clients seemed to enjoy the formatting:

1. Executive - Summarize everything in one page at a high level. You could skim it fast if you chose to. Highlight potential negative business impact of each finding.

2. Management - A little more detailed. 2-3 pages max. Most severe findings at the top and recommended action for remediation.

3. Narrative - This is the bulk 80-90% of the report detailing your step by step process including screenshots so that if someone wanted to duplicate your findings they could.

Problem: I wanted some high quality mosaics that I could create and print out.

Project: Create a mosaic effect that can be applied to arbitrary photos. I launched a MacOS version couple of months back but have been constantly refactoring the algorithm. Since launch, I've brought down the processing of a 1024x768 photo from 40 seconds to under 20 seconds. Currently building out an iOS version.

Their Chrome plugin was also wonderful. Keyword "was". It used to be a discreet window that persists across tabs, which you could minimize and expand from the lower right corner of your screen.

They killed it and now it's an awful behemoth google hangouts window. Really disappointing.

This was the opposite for my anecdotal experience. All the small companies (20-200 people) wanted to own everything you produced. Even on your personal off hours time.

The larger companies I worked for didn't care so long as it doesn't directly compete with the flagship product.

Thank you -- I'm going to revisit this suggestion as it's been brought up by friends as well.

I actually implemented a mobile web version at first with the up-sell of buying high res images. I wasn't happy with the images it was producing though because I forced 1 setting for all images being converted for the sake of ease-of-use for the user.

But this was a mistake. Not all photos are the same: Some photos looked better with smaller/larger cells, as a diamond grid, with different color settings, etc.

Server costs and complexity grew too: (nginx, nodejs, rabbitmq). The algorithm is CPU intensive and not fast enough to my liking yet. So I released the macOS version and put the computational cost on the end user and avoiding the need to support servers.

Sounds like I should make a native mobile version with the option to tweak parameters.

Nicely done. Sigmar Polke was another artists that I was experimenting with too.

I'm really flattered you like the results.

I'll be honest that when I first started the project (and continue to work on it) that I was conflicted. I truly love his work. I spent hours and my weekends analyzing his artwork. I'm still studying his usage of colors because there's still work to be done there.

With the discovery of legal threats and actions against Scott Blake I was disheartened because I don't believe he would like me working on this project. Here's an artist I admire and here I am doing something I love that he may not like. Difficult to come to terms with. Like everyone on HackerNews we're driven to create and solve problems. Curiosity and challenge got the best of me and I pushed forward.

I still plan on releasing a Windows version and eventually making the source code public once I cleanup some things. I'm not making a killing on the app either. It's been out for a month and it's averaging me a dollar a day (with initial publicizing it on /r/macapps and other subreddits). Helps fuel the coffee that goes into these after hours side projects.

Since I'm charging for the app, I plan on donating a portion of the proceeds to the MoMA as well (after all, they're the source of inspiration and I hope this helps give back to other artists).

I saw this warning online: http://www.barcodeart.com/artwork/portraits/chuck_close/ so didn't want to reference his name in the project (#4).

But from what I understand, Scott mainly got in trouble for directly using his artwork by cutting the original work of Chuck Close into cells and then using the cells to draw new images. Whether this constitutes as fair use is up for debate.

Whoa, was wondering where the traffic was coming from. I wrote this!

Piggy backing off this a little, in a similar vain I recently embedded Python in a macOS app (approved by the store) which was a bit of a pain to do. I documented the process as well since I couldn't find a full fledged tutorial on it.
