You just pay the tax. 10% early withdrawal penalty plus about 10% federal income tax up to about $50k. Obviously it would be nice to not have to pay that tax at all by waiting until retirement age, but depending on your cost basis and your other income, it's less than you would have paid in income tax at the time of deposit plus short term cap gains at the time of withdrawal if you had not put it in the 401k in the first place. If your previous wage was high enough and cost basis low enough, then it might even be less than income tax at time of deposit plus long term cap gains at time of withdrawal.

Don't you think that they would have tried that if it was an option?

For academics, it's a global market for talent. There may only be a small number of people in the world who are doing top research in a particular area.

For rural healthcare, if you're a hospital in a very poor, very remote area, and you want to hire say, an anesthesiologist, you have to hire someone who could make very good money working anywhere, but is willing to work at your hospital. $10k is not going to cut it.

Funny, elsewhere in this thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45315574) you argue that "'terrorist' is the new n-word", basically an illegitimate term used as cover for racism. Yet here you are, using that term yourself, to score points in a debate.

So which is? Is terrorism a made-up word used by racists? Or is terrorism a legitimate word to designate bad people, and the US is to blame for these bad people existing?

Here's what I found for the definition - it perfectly captures 99% of the comments I'm reading.

"...the practice of conspicuously displaying one's good character, social conscience, or political alignment in order to gain praise, recognition, or social standing, often without taking meaningful action to support the cause one is professing to support".

People asking questions and attempting to engage are not virtual signaling, everyone else on their high horse throwing shade are doing exactly that. These comments are 100% pure worthless virtual signals that I expect to see on reddit, not HN.

> You seem to think people

I don't think, I know. Read the comments. No one here besides the original OP was impacted but everyone wants to pile-on and call them out with absolutely no real context while pulling conspiracy theories out of thin air and making statements about what must be true. I've seen very few actual posts where attempt to engage legitimately rather than some bullshit "gotcha!" comment.

> a response by the CPO of Slack

Yes, two days after the email was sent. Two days. Folks are whining that it wasn't "faster", that somehow these people are not reviewing every email that leaves the company. Worst case the OP wouldn't have paid, their Slack may have been disabled, and then when the CEO/CPO did find out the sales rep would have lost their job rather than what we're seeing here. But I believe that Slack would have done the right thing regardless.

> calling them out on the things their responses do not address

No most people are throwing accusations and making absolute statements of what they perceive to be truth. No one besides the original OP is entitled to a response from Slack, everyone else here is just using it as an opportunity to virtual signal. Why would anyone from Slack engage in this thread filled with hostility and zero lack of desire to understand what happened, because they're so convinced they already have the answer? These posters are tourists using this as an opportunity to show off how mad they are, not customers that deserve a response.

This thread is an embarrassment to the HN community, and we can go back years and find similar situations where company screwed up and will not find the vitriol found here.

When I was very young (~10yo), I was obsessed with taking apart any electronics I could get my hands in an attempt to figure out how it all worked.

Somehow I got my hands on a semi-functional CRT oscilloscope and of course took it apart. Within minutes of the initial disassembly, I accidentally discharged a large capacitor through my body. I still remember the blinding pain and passing out from literal shock. I'm lucky to be alive today. I gained a healthy fear of electricity that day.

Through the many years that followed I continued my trajectory in electronics, eventually designing and fabbing my own analog and digital circuits. Today I continue to be extremely careful whenever dealing with power circuitry. Always proceed with caution!

Feel free to correct me if I’m off base, but it doesn’t seem like the robot is actually slicing. Looks more like it’s just mashing the blade into the tomato. In this case I can see how the vibration can make up for the lack of slicing action. Ie sliding the blade across the tomato.

My question is: would there still be an improvement if they used a slicing action?

> I'm not convinced that convergent UI works either. The needs of desktop and mobile just differ too greatly.

For the record, I agree. But I've been playing with Apple's new Liquid Glass UI on macOS / iOS and I think they've done a pretty good job of defining platform-agnostic UI primitives and layouts with some platform-specific rules when needed.

It's a big redesign that covers desktop / mobile / tablet / TV. They did a pretty clever job of it, though the desktop experience suffers slightly (of course).

Those can be business decisions too though. It depends on whether or not the real / lucrative customers will notice, or maybe the noisy customers who will be all over twitter because a dev figured they'd make a big change like this on their own.

Throttling and tiering can definitely affect more people than you might suspect (like spiky services) and considering data and use are important.

You're completely ignoring that Apple is purposely choosing not to also add support PPS and instead use AVS so they can push people from generic Anker / Belkin / Baseus PPS chargers to their own Apple chargers. For a while anyway.

It would make more sense if they used it for their MacBook chargers, but AFAIK the sole charger they having going beyond 100W is the 16" Pro charger at 140W. Every other Macbook charger is between 45W-96W.

As I alluded to in my prior comment - the fact that you are so ready to call people insane fascists (or in prior post, dumb or evil) is the end of the conversation.

Wherever you live in the US, at least 1 out of 3 of your neighbors voted for Trump. That's a lot of random people to call fascist.

I have read it. I agree it was ambiguous in that area, but it would make absolutely no sense to restrict entry for people already in the program who happen to be on vacation or whatever. It did not state that it would do that, it just did not explicitly state that it wouldn’t. I think clarification is appropriate, but the reporting seemed to be that the least charitable interpretation WOULD happen, not that the least charitable interpretation COULD technically happen based on the language used. I believe the President has the authority to effectively cancel the program if he wanted to, so why would they do something bizarre and sneaky like block returning vacationers.

So you've got nothing to contribute besides your prior virtual signaling? This is the best you can do? We get it - you're a knight in shining armor that's doing his best posting angry comments on HN, and besides posting angry comments you're going to somehow magically fix the processes of large orgs forever with your incredible knowledge of how things like this work since you clearly have all the answers.

I think it's because it seems like a Juicero to anyone who uses knives to make dinner regularly. We're fascinated by tech, and sure, I'd try this, but I bet anyone who has prepped with a knife for hours per week is probably pretty skeptical on the practicality here.

A sharpened piece of metal has been reliable for thousands of years and will continue to remain so. For new tech, I am also a fan of the ceramic knives out there for vegetables, as they hold a razors edge much longer than metal (albeit are far more brittle - I use them for veggies only, no meat).

One can buy a decent steel chef's knife, a ceramic one, lose them both, buy them again, buy a sharpening stone and a strop for the price of one of these. On one hand, the sci-fi emergence of the vibroblade or something in the kitchen would be cool. On the other, it could be a $500 vibrating slapchop[1].

$120/year on an iPhone 17, or $140/year on Air, Pro, and Pro Max

Even for one year that's more than I'd spend to avoid using a phone case, and if I keep it for five years again that's $700.

There are other benefits to AppleCare (a case doesn't cover theft or loss) but I'm not very worried about any of them.

I’ve been on Mac for about 30 years. I’m planning my switch to Linux (probably KDE) and GrapheneOS. I can’t keep giving so much money to a company that clearly doesn’t have my interests in mind.

So much of the ecosystem doesn’t “just work” anymore and now instead of fixing those issues, they are actively working to make my computing experience worse. I’ve hade enough.

The more I investigate the current state of Linux desktops, the more excited I get. It seems like Linux is actually good for general use now, and I’ll have so many more options to make my technology fit me instead of the other way around.

Sheesh. Google isn't trying to kill jxl, they just think its a bad fit for their product.

There is a huge difference between deciding not to do something because the benefit vs complexity trade off doesn't make sense, and actively trying to kill something.

FWIW i agree with google, avif is a much better format for the web. Pathology imaging is a bit of a different use case, where jpeg-xl is a better fit than avif would be.

It is likely a textbook case of the paradox seen in many domains where humans take extra safety precautions as a license to be reckless such that it creates more damage than if the extra safety precautions were never taken.

How do you explain the contradiction of people who go through the pretense of protecting their phone then engaging in behavior that somehow smashes it regularly in a way that demonstrably cannot be explained by normal usage? There is an entire population of no-case-enjoyers who don't smash their phones despite the lack of extra protection.

Notepad had already become a moving target of inconsistency, no longer able to maintain place after scrolling down, nor when toggling Word Wrap or adjusting window size.

Still-changing deviations in expected tab and simple format structure between emerging versions . . .

Up until the last few years you could print any text file saved by any previous verion of Notepad for decades, and have it come out the same.

Nothing of the sort any more.

When the most useful feature of such a successful legacy app is that it never changes :(

I've said it before, technology has come a long way but people used to be more advanced. Especially at things like this.

Looks like they've built an entirely different tool now, and didn't have the guts to let it sink or swim on its own.

Hard disk and bandwidth of jpegs are almost certainly negligible in the era of streaming video. The biggest selling point is probably client side latency from downloading the file.

We barely even have movement to webp &avif, if this was a critical issue i would expect a lot more movement on that front since it already exists. From what i understand avif gives better compression (except for lossless) and has better decoding speed than jxl anyways.

I'd have to live my life in an unsustainable state of vigilance and care to not drop things.

Heck, even when I think I'm being careful (eg carrying a very full mug or glass), I'm liable to focus on what I'm doing to the point of messing it all up due to lack of awareness (eg keeping my glass nice and still until I bump my elbow into the door frame and spill some of my drink).

It also does not seem to be improving wit age.

“In fiscal 2018, 70% of approved H-1B petitions were for workers 30 years of age and older—a significant indicator that those workers already possess at least six to eight years of experience. Further, H-1B workers’ educational levels, which are an important determinant of skills, indicate they should be filling higher-skilled positions. In fact, 63% of all H-1B workers held an advanced degree (master’s, professional, or doctorate degree),32 meaning one could reasonably conclude that a majority of H-1B workers have the educational attainment and/or years of experience to fill positions at wage levels 3 and 4. These data suggest it is likely that H-1B employers are underpaying workers relative to their skill levels.”

The facts of the matter are that I went back and forth with you, patiently and in good faith, and tried to understand what your point was. And as you became more sarcastic, patronizing, and eventually outright insulting, I realized you simply didn't have one. You didn't like this idea on it's face and were never prepared to give it an earnest hearing. I can only speculate as to why (and no, I don't imagine I can read your mind and wouldn't be surprised to learn my speculation was incorrect).

You've every right to feel that way, but I'm as disappointed in that outcome as you are. Take care and I'll see you around.

I am betting that the author came up with the filtering method in 5 minutes or less and quickly got it working.

The 10 paragraph blog post is the “hard” part: explaining to others who don’t have the same base knowledge.

If I read it correctly, they do even less human-powered work than your solution. It just looks hard because the machinery is unfamiliar.

Basically there is a conspiracy theory that google is trying to kill jpeg xl, so the anti-google crowd is excited someone is using it.

The truth is that every image format added to a web browser has to be supported forever, so chrome team is wary of adding new file formats unless its an above and beyond improvement. Jpeg XL isn't (relative to avif) so google decided not to implement. Its not some malicious conspiracy, it just didn't make sense from a product perspective.

From what i understand https://storage.googleapis.com/avif-comparison/index.html is what was used to justify google chosing avif over jpeg-xl. Jpeg-xl was better at lossless images but avif was better at lossy, and lossy is the usecase that matters more to the web.

I also assume, the project revolved around many roles and as you mentioned, the project was iteratively built around user feedback.

I find Philips quite an interesting player in imaging, PACS and related space. At the innovation space they might be coming up with new technologies and solutions but during service and delivery side they provide quite an awful service, at least in my personal experience in Singapore. I have friends at various healthcare institutions and we were just surprised how could the service be so bad for a vendor who is considered as a valuable one in the industry.

We are obviously speaking from different understandings. I would say neither. I would need you to define your terms differently maybe.

In all cases the client application chooses the algorithm used when the user writes a DM. What do you mean by breadcrumb in the message. Message in what context? Message sent to the signer?

Edit: Maybe I should say the client developer? Is that the answer you're looking for? The developer _could_ give the user the option of choosing which to use, but clients generally are hard-coded to use one or the other.

When I was a hiring manager (it's been a number of years) I always checked LI for applicants which looked interesting on "paper" but which had not come through a trusted source such as coworker from the past or present that I had respect for (both their technical skills and their willingness to be objective about others even if their observations were negative).

My primary reason for this was that unfortunately some resumes seem to include quite of bit of creative writing -- creativity which the applicant could bet only I, and my company, would see. If, however, the applicant had posted similar claims about past jobs on LI, it was public for all to see so somewhat likely to be less "creative" as most people find it embarrassing to get _caught_ claiming credit for work that someone else did or giving an overblown explanation of the import of their work. This is, of course, not 100% reliable as I've seen coworkers and past employees posting on LI claiming things they were "responsible for" or "implemented" when, in fact, they only had a tiny role (or, occasionally, even no discernible role) in.

Also, if I happened to notice a "connection" that I also knew, I could potentially ask them about the applicant (using due care to make sure that the applicant wouldn't be "outed" at their current job by my doing so).

> Why?

It generally requires rulemaking to be done pursuant to a public-comment period and not be done in a way that is "arbitrary and capricious." I'm not familiar with the Immigration & Nationalisation Act(s), (as amended), so I don't know the degree to which public comment is required and judicial review permitted, but a last-minute rule like this would be expected to make it to the SCOTUS docket earlier in our republic.

1. Tomato. Biologically a fruit, culinarily widely used as a vegetable.

2. Carrot (whole plant shown). The top is just edible leaves, that is the most definite vegetable. The root is considered a root vegetable and is used as a vegetable.

3. Red onions, one of them is sprouted. All parts are edible (to humans, they are toxic to many other species including dogs and cats). Same situation as with the carrot.

4. Banana or plantain. It's botanically a fruit. Both are the same species and the name depends on whether the cultivar is used as a fruit (sweet, eaten raw or used in desserts) or more as a vegetable (more starchy and used mostly for cooking). I don't bananas well enough to discern the cultivar, so I don't know.

5. Grapes. Botanically a fruit. They are also used as a fruit and the most uambigously not a vegetable of all of them.

6. Corn, seems to be sweet corn. Again botanically a fruit (strictly speaking the individual corns are the seeds). Shown with husks which are also technically edible but you'll probably need to deep fry them to make chips or something. Assuming we are just going with the corn they are considered a vegetable.

7. Avocado. Botanically a fruit. Eaten raw like a fruit. Used in salads and condiments more like a vegetable? The Wikipedia article avoids making any judgment on whether it's a vegetable. So dunno.

8. Mr. Potato Head from Toy Story. A CGI rendering of a plastic toy. Mr. Potato Head should not be eaten. But also he is presumably based on a potato which is considered a root vegetable.

9. Eggplant. Botanically a fruit, culinarily considered a vegetable.

I hope this left you even more confused because it certainly did for me. Also I have no idea what the correct answers are for the quiz, and I got tired of trying different combinations.

I think it's a worthwhile message to tell folks that we, collectively, should be mindful about the resources we consume and the waste we produce. For such razor-thin (lol) gains in QoL, I think it's worth reminding people to consider whether it is worth the huge increase in waste. Knives are metal and wood/plastic... awfully efficient tools for the work they get done.

EDIT: And to balance the negativity, I _love_ the Seattle Ultrasonics logo.
