> The people running the company have more power than the workers. If the workers don’t like it, they can go to another company they more prefer or start their own.

You're forgetting one obvious option that's been repeatedly and successfully used: unionize.
Sure, I can share. I live abroad now and don't have time to do it anymore. Back in 2008-9? there were 7 major estate sale websites. Nowadays everything has consolidated to estatesales.net. 4 of the 7 had RSS feeds. I drank in all 4 RSS feeds, filtered out sales without pictures, and filtered towards certain keywords. My game was second hand art buying, but only in a 100 mile radius. As I got better at it, my radius started expanding. Note, it wasn't make $300 every sale, it was very hit or miss. But load the car up with some Ed Ruscha originals and Frankenthaler prints and make a killing consigning to auction houses for a morning's work. The old man pickers always wondered how I always got the jump on them. Thanks for paying off my college debt early Yahoo Pipes. Please come back!
I've never used Fireplace, so I can't speak to the comparison. But CIDER (the Emacs Clojure IDE) is an utter joy to use - I can't recommend it enough. If you do try it out, I would be interested to hear how it compares to Fireplace.
Original page title was "Paul Graham Appears Confused about Supply and Demand, Labor and Visas, and “Great Programmers”"
I have no idea. I see a lot of people building NAS systems with AMD procs in them.

I'm also unable to find anything on the mailing lists or the FreeNAS website that indicates problems with AMD.
In some countries, "wasting police time" is a criminal offence.
The Democratic Peace Theory, this is called, if I recall correctly.
Interesting that you waste so much "productive time" that you claim you value so much arguing about those things on HN. It's not like HN exactly attracts the crowd that will write next banking regulations, is it? Then what's the point of having these arguments here? If it's about getting more karma, then it's obvious you'll get plenty from extremely libertarian tech crowd here, but it's not like your 12000 karma is convertible into real dollars?

Another observation is that many times you come in with an argument you seem to purposefully derail it into something that more suits you. The original argument was:

Similarly with nonexistent regulation of derivatives and the ratings thereof during the real-estate bubble.

instead of addressing those two issues you go into government involvement in housing market and Basel requirements. Those are important issues not unrelated to housing bubble, but that wasn't original point!

Of course housing market was heavily regulated and influenced by government. But market for housing securities wasn't! It is basic knowledge now that pretty much everyone could structure, rate, insure and sell pretty much anything to pretty much everyone. I don't understand how you could argue with that?

And finally, back to the topic, is it not indicative of something that SecondMarket is now the marketplace for both the toxic housing junk and hi-fly tech start-ups?
Automatically downloaded a file called MPlayerX.dmg when clicking the link.

Beware ?
Write articles that genuine humans will want to read, then recommend to others by linking them.
I'm pretty good at telling the future. I'm going to say that ... you will have to pay.

People go to recipe sites for the content, they read it, and then they leave. They don't click on adverts or engage in any monetizable way. People build recipe sites because getting a database of recipes is easy and they're trivial to build so you can throw a site with lots of pages (and lots of ads) up on the web fast. That doesn't mean they generate any revenue.
Maybe I'm alone in this, but I think it's kinda nice. It makes it feel less commercially where you worry the claims are dubious and more like someone awkwardly showing you their new pet project?

Maybe I'm just getting sold on the shtick. This is the first of his presentations I've seen.
Where on earth does one get tires for septagon wheel - I wonder how much those will cost to replace.
I've been using Laravel on HHVM for the backend and a mix of jQuery and React for the front end and couldn't be happier. Everything flies and the ecosystem is actually not all that bad. Taking a look at the upcoming 5's feature list make me happy to have picked it for this round.
I don't think you can completely stop being jealous. Jealousy of other people who have things that you want (or think that you want) is totally normal. To try to deny that is to deny that you are human.

I have found personally that the best antidote to jealousy is to accept that I have it 100%, rather than trying to suppress those feelings. The problem is not actually having the feelings of jealousy, but in not being ok with having those feelings. Once I have acknowledged those feelings fully, I often notice that they quickly pass, and I can go back to focusing on whatever I was doing before the feelings came.
Nice write up. I installed the app to give it a whirl. Admittedly I haven't tried it with movies yet, but it gives a "warmer" sound to my Spotify tracks while using my Polk ANC headphones.

I went to purchase the product, but not sure why it's asking me for my mailing address?

I'd recommend streamlining the workflow (if possible).

Ask for Email address

Ask to select Payment Type

Then, if credit card is selected:

Name as it Appears on the Card

Credit Card Number

Credit Card Expiry

Credit Card CVS

Billing Address

Billing Phone Number

If I chose to use Paypal, why do you need the mailing and phone number?
Social media? "Meet me at 6" rather than one guy standing on a street corner all day?

Burner phones being cheap and capable of texting?
Ofcourse it's a terrible idea. There will be an uproar. And then someone from the govt. would actually take the time to carefully look into the decision and then the govt will have to take an embarrassing U-turn.
Where I currently work (< 60 employees), management decided to try to switch to a flat structure similar to what is described in this handbook. We are still in the bootstrapping phase.
However, I noticed that I could not find a lot of serious/deep evaluation material, like, companies that really did it and discussed it in retrospective, nor anything similar in management literature. Also, I noticed that there are no good sw tools that help you organizing, the standard SCRUM tools are not enough and instead we would like to have something that allows to easily keep track of who is working on what and how, let's say more about the connections between the "teams" than their progress.
Any tips?
Correct! The domain and protocol are unencrypted, but the path is encrypted.
Yeah the faked timestamps aren't new to me, it is the potential faking of copy speed that is interesting. To do that you would need to replicate the transfer order of the copy algorithm (cp in linux vs windows 95), and then modify each timestamp based on the prior file size in the ordered list. I've never heard of anybody doing this before.
Assuming that exposure is indeed the best way to treat PTSD, there is still the ethical matter of patient consent to consider. In the second linked article, the patient is exposed to the triggering content with full consent in a controlled clinical environment, but the recommendation in the first article is completely uncontrolled and could lead to adverse reactions away from a completely safe place. While I agree with Basoglu's assertion that there are too many possible triggers to warn everyone of everything, there are some common ones that we can warn about.
This is true, I suspect that companies that fail with agile will fail with any and every methodology.
s/are far more effective/ought to be far more effective/

Until it's actually tested, no one knows.
To be fair (to iOS users, not to Signal), the device transfer procedure on Android is somewhat more cumbersome as a result.

iOS gets the smooth new device-to-device direct transfer of the backup while Android users need to copy the encrypted blob (~2GB for me) to the new device and enter the encryption key. Admittedly, it does still allow for more flexibility than on iOS.
I had the same question in mind when reading the other HN thread. I recently started doing contracting work and would like to try working with such a team.

Just thinking out loud here, but that may be a good target for a niche job board? That’s maybe already a thing.
My startup, Haekka (https://haekka.com) functions similarly. We don’t deal with office politics and bullshit. We only have two FTEs (founders) and 3 contractors. We’re 100% remote and have no plans on not being remote. My previous company that I sold was remote for 7 years. I don’t believe in building software in an office.

We’re very transparent about our financial and business goals. My only scheduled meeting is a weekly dev sync that I do think is very helpful, but we don’t do daily standups or daily calls. All comms are done through Slack, GitHub PR comments and Linear comments.

I will likely be hiring a contract python (or full stack) dev in Q1 as well as a growth marketing position. Feel free to email me ryan@haekka.com
> The design of signal’s protocol is such that messages are authenticated but deniable: it is possible for the recipient to determine that the message was genuine

Via the use of MACs, yes. I never said otherwise. What I said before still holds, as the recipient you can't prove to others that you indeed received a message by a certain someone rather than forged it yourself to incriminate them.

> See also, this article about doing the same for email: https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2020/11/16/ok-googl...

The "Marisa" person in the comments is a friend of mine from IRC and I agree 100% with what she said.
You only have to worry about the keyboard muting software, as it has to capture key press events.
The GHG/snow angle is really smart. I initially thought that petroleum extraction/carbon emissions would slow the planet ever so slightly because we're taking stuff from underground and moving it into the atmosphere. But water/ice are much heavier, and reducing the range of elevations where snow is trapped would do the opposite (less water at higher elevations and more at lower), plus there's way more snow/water than petroleum.
what does it mean he iMessage keeping “Search History” linked to you? Why? This is concerning...
Almost any steak will be better than a pot roast sandwich from probably any fast food place (there are a few exceptions I've been to). And Walmart groceries, contrary to popular belief, are actually pretty decent. Mostly on par with any other grocer in the areas I've lived.
> Due to the ongoing tensions in the United States, and an uptick in the global conversation in regards to the people who violently stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, these two Tweets must be read in the context of broader events in the country and the ways in which the President’s statements can be mobilized by different audiences, including to incite violence, as well as in the context of the pattern of behavior from this account in recent weeks.

That's so Orwellian. That so obviously reads... "we wanted to ban him, so we did".

Like, if you want to ban him based on past tweets, just do it. But to claim that this tweet is inciting violence is just farcical.
Were these people attempting to directly attack a legislative body as it performed its constitutional duty?

I thought not.
I had the same impression.. and whats with the body language of the guy? waving his hands like a populist dictator... signs of "oh no we really need marketing because the product sucks".

The product can be good actually... but this kind of narcisistic marketing is better suited for weight loss products, self help, pick-up techniques e-book, etc (anything that gets money on your insecurity).
Reading through the 'tally vs typeform' page, you came to play. More features, more free features, cheaper paid tier. This could cause typeform to change their offerings in order to compete.
A prominent, recent example:

"If it saves just one life, it's worth it."
What future?

I’m not being sarcastic; who is walking around talking about a coherent, optimistic and appealing future?
Thank you for the wonderfully detailed reply. I mostly agree with your right to repair sentiments. I have a remote controlled car, and have to keep reminding myself fixing it is half the fun. It sure would be nice to have the option to evaluate repair, either myself or pay a professional, rather than throw things away and buy a new one.
> The authors show how a circle can be squared by cutting it into pieces that can be visualized and possibly drawn. It’s a result that builds on a rich history.

Ever since I saw the missing square puzzle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_square_puzzle

I have been very leery of any geometry proof that requires visualization. It is so easy to hide a small difference.
I can see the appeal, but I don't think that really saves Peloton. It's an easily replicatable feature -- you could imagine NordicTrak doing it with a different set of sexy people -- and its a feature that many of us lived without pre-pandemic by going to the gym and looking at real life sexy (and unsexy) people. Additionally, it continues to be a niche market, even among fitness enthusiasts. Tablets allow us access to whatever we want to watch.

This isn't to say Peloton is bad or people will not keep using it, just that there was almost sure to be a reset as we all reset and at least partially revert.
That can work, but probably not very well. Without real-time resampling some buffer in the path will underrun or overrun depending on whether the recording soundcard is sampling slower or faster than the playback soundcard. The clocks are not synchronized.
Also own parents might have outdated info from 30 years ago which they attempt to use now.

My parents clearly don't like the way I raise my children. I made it clear that what my wife and I do is for us the correct way and while we will listen to reason they should accept it as the right way.
Systemic perverse effect would probably emerged in other places but maybe not at the scale and ~annoyance of CO2 atmospheric levels.
5G is not supported by most phones. It requires a lot more infrastructure (base stations) than traditional GSM because of shorter range, so operators worldwide are currently on a concrete craze destroying the environment ever more. And it opens a lot more avenues for surveillance. All of that without bringing any measurable improvement of life to anyone.

Why the hell would i want free-software stack for that tech? On one hand it'll be used to legitimize 5G in the first place which is far from consensual topic, even in tech-friendly circles. On the other hand, i conceptually appreciate the idea to run my own GSM stack, BUT 5G is mostly worse (if i want short range i'll just do wifi thanks) and even if i run my own stack, commercial operators will never peer with me so my users won't be able to talk with anyone else (pretty useless).

In my very personal view, cell phone networks are useless pieces of tech that need to be replaced with proper Internet infrastructure.
To quote the first Wikipedia link I posted in the comment that you're replying to, yes. "From 1948 to 1980, over 850,000 Mizrahi and Sephardi Jews were expelled, fled or evacuated from Arab and Muslim countries."
Also, this looks like it's purely for equities - no bonds, futures, options, swaps, etc. I suspect that by volume of risk traded by users (not purely through the terminal), equities are a minority of what the Bloomberg terminal supports.

Still, this is a cool hack. I understand that it is not a genuine attempt to unseat Bloomberg!
GPT-3 does not sound drunk to me as the generated texts are not garbled completely.

The lack of coherence in the texts combined with correct grammar and spelling remind me more of someone suffering from dementia (I would consider proper pronounciation/speech to be like correct spelling for the computer case).
Check https://github.com/oracle/graal. From readme:

> GraalVM is a universal virtual machine for running applications written in JavaScript, Python, Ruby, R, JVM-based languages like Java, Scala, Clojure, Kotlin, and LLVM-based languages such as C and C++.

and yes, it can do interop between those languages
One problem with this (and a common misunderstanding of crypto as an "anonymous currency" by the general public) is that it would allow everyone to see exactly how much money everyone else has in their accounts, what they're spending their money on, etc. With Bitcoin there's at least a degree of pseudonymity if you're careful about publicly linking your wallet to your identity, but I could imagine that's not really possible for state-sponsored currencies.

Having a cryptographically verified history of everything my government is spending on would be cool, but due to the nature of the distributed ledger it would require private citizens be put under the same microscope. At least with the alternative of one central bank controlling one central database, there's some degree of restriction to personal information (I'd imagine the bank wouldn't let any average Joe request ledger data on their neighbor just for fun, but public interests would be fair game).
Absolutely not - google the m1 swap file ssd fiasco. Their ssds (soldered) are wearing out very quickly
I am quite certain that Oracle being an high profile US company, and possibility of export restrictions, also played a role.
Almost only, of course - I'm sure everyone at Bitstamp, and indeed every Bitcoin exchange, is of unimpeachable integrity, and it's just capricious Fortuna toying with their hot wallets.
As coldtea correctly guessed the Guardian is the main other new source I read. I don't see what else is suspicious about my account?
Just checked my email again, and indeed I have received it now.
Yes it is. It is almost as though someone might have a vested interest in announcing a problem at exactly this point in time.
>This idea leaves me feeling a bit uneasy; aren't the robberies still taking place, just at different locations?

This is covered in the article. There is some shift to other stores, but the total number of robberies across all stores was roughly halved.
I like the idea but I am not sure if it fixes a real problem. I don't think I have ever had feedback from clients complaining they don't understand the text.

Where did you get your validation from?

Edit: Looking at the amount of likes/tweets you seem to have social validation, just not sure where I would use it.
That is quite intersting, at one point the main language in AI for Europe was Prolog and in America it was LISP, or so I read. I wonder what other instances this kind of cultural differences occured, and if the internet has had any effect on this.
I'm not sure why I'm being downvoted. it bugs me when people intentionally use relatively obscure words to make themselves sound important.

also, what happened to the edit option?

edit: apparently I can edit this comment, but not the other one. can we not edit comments that have negative karma now?
How about 50? :)

I find it a little odd that you complain about the quality of content on HN, but when I look through your submissions you have 17 links to your own blog and 0 to other sources.

Just sayin'

edit: Also, the definition of 'bacn' is that it's not unsolicited.
That's OK!

Since the headlines the other day about Netflix overtaking Comcast, I predict that price is going to change very soon (but not so soon that it's seen as a proximate cause).
I was referring to the scene where Alec Baldwin says to Jack Lemmon, "Put the coffee down. Coffee is for closers.", in Glengarry Glen Ross.

It exposes a lot of the beautiful fundamentals of Unix when presented like this.
It seems to serve as an "application", but if this were to ever become a repository of résumés like Linkedin (seems obvious to me), this would become a problem.

Even given that it is an app, a static representation of the app along with a "please enable JavaScript to edit" message would be really handy -- at least I could then get an idea of whether I want to edit the document being shown.
It is used to get the year, which a week number belongs to. The current week number (1) belongs to 2015, even though it's 2014. Here, check out this calendar [0]. We are already in week 1 of year 2015. That's why you get the year 2015.

Why is it useful you might ask: when you order a time-series by week number, or if you are grouping by week numbers, you would need the week number of course. But if the data is spanning over two years, you would need also the year for grouping, because you would add up weeks from different years. If you use week number + current year you get errors around the end of some years.

The first half of the essay aligns with your takeaway. But the second half does start to delve into how to identify useful obsessions, starting with "But there are some heuristics you can use to guess whether an obsession might be one that matters." Which sounds like an optimization, and which seems at least somewhat at odds with a major starting premise that you mentioned ("They're not doing it to impress us or to make themselves rich, but for its own sake.").

I agree with OP, the thesis makes sense assuming the primary goal of one's life is discovering world-changing ideas (what he's calling "genius"). That's understandable from a VC perspective since that's basically what VCs do. But most of us here aren't VCs, and while idea discovery is a great goal to have even if you're not a VC, it doesn't have to be the primary one.

Really depends on your needs, I guess.

Being familiar with React and Javascript, React Static [1] was really quite great: easy to use, works without Javascript, but for people with Javascript enabled, page loads while navigating the site are way faster and don't require a full page refresh. Plus, it's far easier to use than Gatsby in that it doesn't require you to use a whole local GraphQL database, which is great for use cases in which the pages of your website fit in memory easily.

We might all have a word that gets translated as “marriage”, but the concept attached to that word is not universal. It’s not even the same concept between all people within a single nation and who share a single language and are subject to a legal definition of the word regardless of how well it matches their own personal definition.

I suspect that the parts of our culture that are rooted in language are things most of us don’t even have words for, because they come too naturally for us to need to talk about.
Someone knowledgeable, please tell us why this is just runaway science journalism before we get too excited!

This is potentially the most groundbreaking stuff in decades, right?
