I thought the same thing - half the setup is educating us on the backstory of the brother - then says "focus on the idea and not the backstory"

I am inclined to think that the brother backstory will skew the results. You have lured the person in with an emotional backstory that would make them be more inclined to act a certain way, in that their inclination will be to give the best advice they can based on their perspective of the brothers about to lose money/make money on this idea.
I'm against the abuse of children and happy to use the government to accomplish that.

However, the prevalence of abuse and neglect in the foster care system - complete with cases on that order of horror - makes a very weak case for the idea that external regulation accomplishes any better.

"Happy Holidays!" is probably best, if less explicit.

That would work, iff there was not a way to show that a particular person owned a particular username. However, I cannot think of any way to prevent that.

...But given the ease of getting someone's fingerprint I'm not sure if this is actually much better than a standard username+password combination (potentially with 2fa) without a fingerprint at this point, and it's less convenient to boot.
Shouldn't team performance decrease the season after a coach change since the players have to learn a new system? This seems to say that the cost of firing a poor coach is zero because at worst you will do the same as before in the short term, with a great potential upside for longer time spans.
Analytics revealed to me that a product I'd built (well, a free side project, but that's beside the point) was succeeding in the exact opposite of the market I'd built it for.

I used to run an online Japanese-English dictionary. It was geared towards people learning Japanese. I built it when I was studying Japanese and thought it would be useful for other students.

Turns out the overwhelming majority of the traffic to that site was from... Japan! I had it completely backwards! People weren't using it to aid their Japanese studies; they were using it to aid their English studies. (You might be tempted to suggest that it was in fact being used by people learning Japanese, and that those people were taking part in exchange/immersion programs, but there were other data that disproved this hypothesis.)

I never would've realized that if I hadn't had analytics on there.
Why bother? They've all but taken over the forum and internet community space so now it's time to chase those margins so they can keep that fantasy of infinite growth alive in the hearts of their shareholders.

Hello HN! Steampipe is an open-source tool for querying cloud metadata with SQL. We currently have 230+ tables across 13 plugins (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, Zendesk, Slack & more) see the plugin registry for a full list: https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins.

Why we think it's cool:

* Open source & extensible with plugins
* Fast live queries & caching (no ETL to a DB)
* Embedded Postgres with a Golang based FDW
* Easy to use (well, you be the judge!)

We can't wait to see what queries you come up with, and would really appreciate your feedback!

edit: format of bullet list
This is so obvious to me that I'm amazed that anyone finds this idea amazing. Pretty meta.
The author doesn't mention what I think is a factor: a good name. I think its a portemanteau of instant and telegram. The word "telegram" has a old school charm. At the same time it conveys the purpose of the app.
This!

I'm using Google Apps in an SMB, and it's great for zero-admin, but downloading attachments to a download folder, finding them again by filename, doing 'save as' to avoid filename collisions so you can save changes, is a total pain in the ass. And we still need a network drive. We still use Google Apps in spite of this but handling file attachments seems unnecessarily difficult. And no, Google Docs is not a solution. Not all attachments are .docs, some of us use CAD files.

Dropbox, fully integrated with Google Apps and Chrome's Downloads folder, would mean the end for millions of intranets.
Thanks for posting those but for the first of your two links, I think you meant:

That is, are two different slashdot posts about the different aspects of the talk, and the above link is to the earlier of the posts.
Canada and most of Nato wasn't in Iraq. I agree that the Iraqi war was based on lies and was a disaster for a multitude of reasons.

That said, some things are good and evil. And Putin's invasion of Ukraine is evil. Ukraine was a democratic, peaceful country.
DDG shares "signals for fraud detection" with the Azure Fraud Detection Service and receives back "View ID" + "Fraud Vector".

The "View ID" + "Fraud Vector" + "anonymized UA" + "anonymized IP" + "search query" are then shared with Microsoft Bing Private Search API.

"Signals" could include raw IP address, just not directly associated with the search query. Microsoft owns both the Azure service and Bing API so it can just match up the two separate requests on the backend to de-anonymize the user.

The rate limitation sounds good for a general audience of one's connections, but there are a lot of times when life calls for more frequent updates, particularly in times of emergency and medical crisis where the changes to one's life circumstances change by the day, if not by the hour. Posting, "Andy is in the hospital", then needing to wait a week to post, "Andy died 1 hour after being admitted to the hospital". One suggestion might be to allow posts to be threaded, so that updates to an initial post can be added without waiting an entire week.
And what about us short, skinny engineers? I guess we're just happy to be here.
Will they eat it, or increase the cost by 12%? Or maybe surcharge?

Still, doesn't seem as worst thing to tax, if something specific is taxed.
I've been in the same situation and I found the solution was to do less. Unblocking coworkers is valid work, and spending more time on code so that they're not blocked in the first place is also very useful. By doing that I found the overall team velocity went up even though my personal point count fell.
one could devil's advocate speculate the other way as well; e.g. If IQ declines with age, and exercise is a way to slow the decline[1], fatness could reflect lack of exercise and lifestyle which doesn't prioritise exercise, so would you expect to see lower value for fatter engineers in a pure meritocracy?

If lower IQ correlates with obesity ("a 10‐point decrease in IQ was associated with a 1.10‐fold increase in the odds for obesity."[2]) either way - a lower IQ person is more likely to get fat, or the metabolic changes of getting fat negatively affect cognition as well - over a large group of skilled people would you expect thinner people to earn more?

If height and IQ are correlated ("Taller people tend to be smarter. Although the relationship is modest, height and IQ are consistently correlated at ∼.10–.20"[3]), would, etc.

Pertinent to this specific discussion is that XML distinguishes syntactically between "elements" and "attributes", but it's often not clear what the purpose of the distinction is (search for "elements vs attributes").

JSON and YAML do not make such a distinction.
I feel very funnel/inverse-triangle shaped.
This is kinda both hilarious and helpful. Thanks for sharing.
It takes a bottom up approach rather than top-down, and gives you all the gory details as opposed to bird's eye view of things. I would take it as that. System is an almost useless word other than implying a "lower level" view.
This has absolutely nothing to do with UBI. It's like the world has a mass delusion.

This doesn't help homelessness in the conventional sense -

Giving lumps of money of course helps the people you give it to. That would be a stupid experiment.

What is of interest and has generally been shown to work is giving unconditional money is more efficient than conditional money or programs.

The waste on bureaucracy is more than the good from helping people spend it. No evidence either way in this video.
The article itself is of low quality. Entire sections are based on flimsy assumptions or are just plain false. I'll list a few here:

"The US has less than 5% of the world's population. Which means if the qualities that make someone a great programmer are evenly distributed, 95% of great programmers are born outside the US."

A huge portion of the world can't even feed itself let alone educate itself to the high standard of an "exceptional programmer" [1]. If we're in the business of making flimsy assumptions then here's mine: I suspect that the US produces the same amount of "exceptional programmers" as the rest of the world combined.

"But if you talk to startups, you find practically every one over a certain size has gone through legal contortions to get programmers into the the US, where they then paid them the same as they'd have paid an American." and
"I asked the CEO of a startup with about 70 programmers how many more he'd hire if he could get all the great programmers he wanted. He said "We'd hire 30 tomorrow morning." And this is one of the hot startups that always win recruiting battles. It's the same all over Silicon Valley. Startups are that constrained for talent."

If you can't hire someone at your expected price then maybe you should raise it. Maybe the market price has gone higher than what you perceive it to be. That CEO could find his 30 "10x" engineers in a heartbeat if he offered 300-500k. Its not your god given right to be able to hire x number of employees for the price you hired your previous employees at.

I fixed it by getting a 9-5 job. I don't think it is a question of respect as much as culture. If I were to contact my colleagues now out of hours they would think I was mad. In a small IT company out of hours contact is the norm, especially if you are a serious contributor.
You're the not only one. He was using simple persuasion to encourage them to go home peacefully.

"I understand why you're unhappy but it's time to return home peacefully" is much more persuasive than "You are flat out wrong and it's time to return home peacefully". It's negotiation 101: validate the other's feelings if you want to persuade, even if you don't agree with those feelings.
I use Robinhood's banking feature for this (I don't use them as a brokerage, though). It lets me do direct deposit and automatic withrdrawals from a single account, while earning savings account interest. The interest isn't significant at the moment, but it was nice for a few months, before COVID. I use Mint and Personal Capital for monitoring my budget, rather than earmarking funds.

One of the benefits of Signal is that it can also do SMS on Android, so it works great with people like you who insist on using that. Your SMS messages will appear right alongside the native Signal ones in the app.
Wow, great project! I'm going to keep an eye on this and will talk with my partner about signing up.
I love how your example cards are sentences and not just individual terms. Super engaging.
As a word of feedback, I might suggest adding the names of the languages that you currently support underneath each of the language flags as it makes it more instantly-recognizable (and therefore likely lower friction).
This is an awesome concept and I really like it!
How does allocation of IP addresses related to pushing for interoperability of communication protocols?

If your analogy was something about governmental bodies was worse than private entities when pushing for a standard network standard, then you would have a point. But unless I am deeply wrong, TCP/IP, GSM, LTE, DVB, even FM radio and PAL were standards that only became dominant after governmental bodies sanctioned as standards and no one misses AppleTalk or Novell's IDP because of "government meddling".

Even still, the argument is not for killing private protocols or stopping private companies to innovate and develop new technologies. It's "just" that these innovations should be made on top of open standards instead of displacing them. Don't forget that Google Talk and even Facebook's messenger started on top of XMPP. They closed purely for business reasons, not technical ones. Had the FCC told them "do whatever you want with your network and your client, but anyone speaking XMPP should be able to communicate with your users", we wouldn't be in this mess.
Looks good.

Why these particular words/sentences? Is this based on frequency? Something else?

I was trying to learn Spanish based off of frequency dictionaries at one point, but many didn’t provide conjugations of the verbs which made it questionable to learn.

I was even contemplating creating something myself that would take the top 5000 words and make complete sentences out of them... using conjugations of course.
OK, I don't know what that means. More important than what users write, is what the audience wants -- hiring managers, HR departments, recruiters, to a lesser extent the ATSs that companies use. Those are the real drivers of resume-writing insights.

For developer job market insights, aggregated data such as StackOverflow's annual Developer Survey are far superior to anything you could glean from a few thousand resumes: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020
I have commented similarly and more conservatively of a similar opinion of Gruber on the last several high brow articles that have made it to HN. It's really become pathetic. I mean, it started with valid points but then he started sticking his nose in crummy decisions Apple had made just to defend them.

It's really just annoying to see it happening because its the same illogical crap that so many people spout that I write off as being the opinion of "just another fanboy". Dunna if I have the heart to call Gruber that, but jesus

Scripting the nslookup, dig, and host commands is predictable and easy. In contrast, there appears to be no consistency in the output for whois queries, making them infuriatingly difficult to parse reliably.

While not the most accurate way, in my own efforts brute-forcing of DNS name space (I was checking every word in my local /usr/share/dict/words file for possible free domain names), I have found that simple DNS queries are relatively effective and don't raise eyebrows, especially if you use your own name server. Plus, they're much faster than whois queries. Usually resolving domain.tld and www.domain.tld will tell you if the name has been registered with fair accuracy. As an added bonus, you don't have to worry about someone using whois queries to park/squat interesting domains.
The problem with that is that you are having engineers who cost the company $75+ an hour spending time doing the job that can be done by someone costing ~$30 an hour. Also, you run the risk of annoying your engineers.

That's exactly the idea. Although, the funny thing about it is: in person, the parents don't really oversee the progress. I imagine it's because I talk conversationally about how the student is doing, his or her strong points, etc. But nobody really tracks how far along the student is progressing with me. That is all done by the report cards (I tutor independently of any tutor center -like Sylvans- and independently of the school systems).

I believe you are correct, however, in that things will shift when it is "anonymous" and online. Kind of like selling childrens' toys: the kids have to like it, but the parents have to be willing to pay as well.
> We can't really say that any individual point in time is "the" bottom, but it's obvious just looking at pricing data that we are at "a" bottom.

I don't know if we can even say that. It's entirely plausible that the market continues to move down for months or years as the economic reality starts to become clearer. When the actual bottom is put in, March 2020 might look like "the end of the top", not "the start of the bottom".

I feel seen and heard. AWS' console, client libraries, documentation, naming, etc. never fail to disappoint. Do I think Facebook would do better? No clue.

1. This is the first release of baked in replication for PostgreSQL. MySQL has had years to evolve their approach and to fix bugs. That's not to say either system is perfect, but their relative maturity seems obvious.

2. No. It's widely understood because MySQL has a much larger mindshare than PostgreSQL. Statement based replication has its faults, but complexity isn't one of them.

3. It's not a joke. There is more documentation. There is the official documentation, but if you don't like that there are plenty of blog posts, books, and recorded talks on the subject.

It's quite possible that the Chinese government hacked your iphone so that they can send out spam for fake Rolexes. But in most likelihood you have a keylogger or browser based password sniffer sitting somewhere in your computer, and you are just a victim of a generic hack. You would have got this malware by installing something you shoudn't or maybe you're running buggy software with a vulnerability. BTW, I'm wondering if your father in law was using your computer recently and had his passwords stolen?
Backup-manager - http://www.backup-manager.org.

True, but each restriction just makes it that much harder to get around. For the majority of people, the first block will stop them, but once you get into cat-and-mouse land, you'll lose a bunch more.
Jon Bentley's books are outstanding but don't fall into the quick read category in my opinion. They are complex and need careful study (and working the exercises) to get all you can from them.

His 1982 book, Writing Efficient Programs, and the 1981 precursor, Writing Efficient Code, ought to be read by every C programmer. Sadly, they are now out of print and hard to find. Writing Efficient Programs is a breezy tour of the tricks of the trade, but it is a serious list of hints (some subtle, some not) for making efficient programs.
Oddly enough, if police get a warrant to search your house and seize something that's considered evidence, they don't tell you in advance that they've done so or that they're coming to execute the warrant.

In other words, due process doesn't mean "nobody's allowed to do anything until every side has had its fill of argument".

Yes, most are objectively paying far more taxes in terms of dollars than the average person. That is what the OP means.

> I don't like how hoarding assets is seen as 1000x more contributing than someone working 8 hours a day.

You are falsely assuming that all of these people "hoarding assets" aren't themselves working at least 8 hours a day. Additionally, if we are being real, contributing large amounts of capital to a project (i.e. investing) probably IS worth a lot more in terms of value added than 8 hours of the average person's labor.
