>I didn’t like my online persona.

I think this is one of the bigger factors when people choose to quit social networks, even if they don't realize it explicitly. There's such a "hustle culture" to get likes and favorites that it really warps what you can post. You can't really be vulnerable on a social network because it either gets ignored or interpreted as another hustle ("You got this!!!") because the surrounding content from everyone else is "Look at how great I am!". YouTube creators have to explicitly say "Please like and subscribe!" but that's implicit and pervasive on Twitter and Facebook by their very nature.
Haters gonna hate.

Gotta get dem tendies.
I signed up for the waitlist as this looks like a promising platform. Just curious, does this connect directly to a brokerage site (my own or another 3rd party) to make the trades?
That is not only false, it has nothing to do with this story.
You're welcome, pass it on. I got it also from someone else when I wondering how I could buy ADA.
> I wonder if he would have done better simply investing in Bitcoin.

Hindsight's 20-20. Especially when it comes to investment.
> It is absolutely possible to legally use React while going ahead and suing Facebook.

Only if it's possible to use React without infringing (or licensing) any Facebook patents. "Use" is not just about copyright.

(Which, as you point out, is plausible; there's just no reason to believe it's guaranteed to be true.)
I think C++ has a very bright future - due to two driving forces:

1) The C++ Standards committee has been doing a very, very good job. Aside from the big one (compiler enforced memory safety), some of the best Rust features are on their way into C++. For example:

- Traits: C++ concepts are on their way - there is even a working implementation in a gcc branch.

- Iterators: See Eric Niebler's range proposal and accompanying range-v3 library.

- Monadic error types (including do-notation!) proposal: http://www.hyc.io/boost/expected-proposal.pdf

Other great stuff coming to C++ over the next few years:

- ASIO in the standard library - see prototype here: https://github.com/chriskohlhoff/asio

- Resumable functions

- Composable futures

- Parallel algorithms + concurrent containers

... much much more

2) Clang/Libc++ development is unbelievably rapid and it has greatly improved the tooling available to C++ developers.

Some highlights here:

- Clang-format and clang-tidy to help developers write cleaner code

- Sanitizers like AddressSanitizer, MemorySanitizer, ThreadSanitizer, UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer that instrument binaries to find bugs at runtime

- Much better error messages for template heavy code

- an API for easy development of custom tools that parse/consume C++ code

... much more
I had a long day at work, and didn't see this. I posted another comment (couldn't edit; too late). You may be sure that I am MS shill, cleverly astroturfing their now-free product.
I think more stunning than sad. Indicates some serious missteps on Virgin and BO's part.
The article mentions copying a Let's encrypt style architecture where keys are tied to user+device which can be rotated frequently, and some service blasts the public keys around as necessary. Are there any good, existing open source implementations of such a setup?
The circle of tech:

1. Someone has an idea. It's alright. Really good for their use case. Someone else hears about it, likes it, and adapts it to a similar use case. So and so forth until the idea has a large user base

2. Employees of large companies hear about the idea and implement it

3. Marketing gets a hold of the idea, gives it a flashy name, and uses it in promotions

4. A majority of the loudest voices in the industry get on board so everyone starts forcing this idea on every imaginable use case

5. A lot of people realize this is all too much extra work without much benefit so they start looking for more appropriate solutions

6. return to 1

It's happened with mainframes, object oriented programming, services, micro-services, web-all-the-things, blockchain, steaming data (kafka), sql, nosql, containers, agile, VMs, cloud, and many other things.

It's just technology people are the worst at getting caught up today's fad and I wish we could try to not do that as much.
I agree with you. I cannot avoid saying: you don't have to throw your whole coffeemaker out after every pot if you don't have Nespresso.
In autopilot mode you pay for your resource reservations, not nodes.

Comparable-ish with Fargate. You probably wouldn't be using this with an eye to save money unless you think (or have measured) that you'd spend more on operations, security or compliance otherwise.
In my teens and twenties I was very confident in my driving. As I've gotten older my self confidence and my confidence in others' driving abilities and attention to the road have eroded significantly.

I've been rear ended several times, almost gotten hit by reckless drivers, and a few friends have died in traffic accidents.

With every year that goes by, getting in the car feel more like a game of Russian roulette to me.
Yea.. felt like I sold my soul when I bought one and needed to create a fb account. But in death: unchained is so damn fun. I've always wondered if they operate oculus at a massive loss all so that they can collect a bunch of data. Does anyone know if the facebook info dump stuff shows what oculus data they collect?
> Someone being downvoted doesn’t mean everyone is disagreeing with them, or punishing them for their opinion

Regardless of what the rules are, in practice this is exactly how upvoting/downvoting works on sites like Reddit and this one. You can't override basic human nature with loose guidelines.
Spoiler alert - here's the solution: https://9to5google.com/2021/04/07/google-i-o-2021-announced/
The producers sign the contracts with the people they meet in person to make the videos, so they can verify those same people signed the contracts. A web site has no way to check if the contracts are real. People can just upload made up documents.
> Unfortunately, I require shelter, calories and hobby
> materials. Thus the need for some kind of job.

Actually, you don't need a job. You need someone to give you hobby materials and then to give you money for doing your hobby. If your hobby happens to be electronics, C++, or grilling hamburgers then this will be much easier than if you have more traditional hobbies.

Find a job that you enjoy, and you will never work a day in your life.
I had covid. I can tell you losing my business from the lockdowns was infinitely more depressing than losing my sense of smell/taste for 5 days.
What insurrection?
This inspired me to finally track down the $0.XX monthly donation I’ve been making to AWS. Through the billing dashboard [1] I discovered a zombie static site I set up ages ago with S3 and Route 53.

(Edit: I found the S3 bucket, but mysteriously no hosted zone to account for the Route 53 bills ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
A very important detail is that this only opts out of ad personalisation. It doesn't actually stop exposing this unique identifier as iOS does.
Next to the id, there's also a flag that basically says "am I allowed to use it?".

He literally started with "how long" part
Yeah, it was on a level where it was simultaneously quite deep but not deep enough that you stood a chance when it came through the walls (you didn’t exactly get much warning you were on a bones level).

But yes, quite a few people have experienced this by now.
The actual title is:
How the CDC’s Restrictive Testing Guidelines Hid the Coronavirus Epidemic

This is very different from guidelines in general. Encouraging people to avoid large crowds, wash their hands and wipe surfaces, and possibly self-quarantine could have made a huge impact earlier on.

Instead, people kept going to bars, concerts, and traveling. A lot could have been done, and testing is only part of the story.
My understanding is that pollution has a short term (~weeks) cooling effect due to global dimming, and a long term (~decades) warming effect due to the greenhouse effect.

So this may cause a short term spike in global temperatures over the next few months. If this goes on long enough it could paradoxically accelerate climate change.

Maybe we need a well place and timed nuke on the moon to compensate.

EDIT: On the other hand increased sunlight may boost photosynthesis. All in all should be intresting to see the effect. Because it may show that we need to be more careful about mitigating certain types to pollutants (CO2) first and leaving others for later.

Is there an iOS version I can play on the go, or a cloud-based terminal version a la https://alt.org/nethack/ for nethack?
You see similar code to his unconditional executeNoMatch at the end of the table in table based code all the time. Additionally forEachObject is a macro that immediately initializes a variable. For projects like this the code is completely fine. I'm not sure what is particularly dangerous about this code for a small to medium size project.
Duplicate comment: Reposted so that context is maintained

Ok I tried the product and here are my suggestions:

1) Use Google Connect/Yahoo or something so that you can access my Contacts list

2) It is the same as opening a browser window with email app since the contacts are not there already or shown in a dropdown.

3)The problem is not that I have to move away from the page to share it. The pain comes in moving away and doing stuff. If I have to move away to find that one email id, it is of no use.

4) Who would save Contacts in a seperate list? No CSV Upload is not the solution.
I had Pravetz 82 (1MHz CPU and 64KB RAM, some of which used by the system) with 1-2x 5.25" floppy drives. It was between 1992 and 1996, and I was 12 to 16 year old during the period.

Having small competitions with several boys in my small hometown that were about who is going to write the fastest program to calculate all 16-bit prime numbers (in machine code, obviously) will forever remain one of my sweetest and fondest memories.

I am not a highly impressive programmer these days; in fact I am fairly mediocre and the only thing that might put me above the crowd -- occasionally, not all the time! -- is that I am an efficiency maniac with an excellent eye for simple and readable code. But in general and in terms of commercial programming, I am nothing special -- and I am OK with that.

But, having a Pravetz 82 at such a young age definitely shaped my thinking in ways that help me in my life to this day.
UK has higher standards for livestock than EU, esp. related to well being and roaming space; which is partly why it is very difficult for UK farmers to compete with almost anywhere else. I think you mischaracterize the disparity of standards in that particular space. I don’t comment on your other points.
What makes you think that remunerative work is inherently valuable to anyone other than the person paying for that work? You, like I do, probably work largely in order to line the pockets of some already rich CEO. That doesn't mean what either of us does for a living is socially valuable. This seems more like vanity to me than editing Wikipedia or improving OSM.
if by "chemical tests" you mean compatibility with the human digestive tract and metabolism, then yes
I agree, the credit is nice, although for me it amounts to about $6. The lost opportunity for me is huge... I have a QR code app, and missed the chance to have my QR code in a major print magazine ad. That's missed traffic, and missed exposure to the company who was going to use it - that was worth way more than $6 to me.
Unfortunately as a hobby site, it's tough to justify multiple servers for redundancy
In fact, Microsoft spends around $2-2.5b on R&D per quarter [1] while Apple spends $500-600m [2]. That certainly more than makes up for the difference.

Hey HN -

I'm Mike - founder of LaunchSpark. Had a couple of great calls with HNers that suggested I add some information about myself here and on the site. I added a more in-depth bio to the About LaunchSpark page [http://www.launchspark.net/p/about.html].

I'd be happy to answer any questions.

> The price for some cornerstone needs that govern access to opportunity - i.e. healthcare, housing, education

First, I wholeheartedly agree that this is the major stakes. I mentioned consumer goods prices because they're immediately tangible. The differences in the others are all too easy to handwave away as improvements.

> Everything from food to toys to tools got much cheaper than it was before

I don't know about toys, and they seem hard to compare. Food has gone up over the past few decades (groceries that used to cost $2 now cost $3, $3->$4, etc). From one of the first hits for historical milk price (https://www.in2013dollars.com/Milk/price-inflation): "Between 1997 and 2020: Milk experienced an average inflation rate of 1.73% per year". Note that I'm talking about sticker prices here, not any "but they actually went down with inflation", as the original argument was referencing stationary wages.

Tools are being made much more flimsy and disposable - eg real high speed steel has been replaced by inferior foreign steel with gimmicky coatings to "prolong" its poor wear characteristics. If you look at good quality tool brands today, the prices are higher than what tools cost several decades ago. This goes for appliances as well - take a look at "commercial" offerings that are built to be maintained.
Down 6% after hours, for reasons that I don't understand.

Personally, I'm more-sure that Cloudflare will be around in 25 years than I am that Facebook will be around in 25 years. Their customers are real-valuable customers paying for a real-valuable service, and that's not going away anytime soon. Meanwhile, their serverless stuff is very cool and unique. I think their durable objects are going to go mainstream someday. They work on hard/interesting/real technology, that's gotta be worth something.

I predict that one day, we'll see a C somewhere in "FAANGM".
I'm not sure what you mean by "lost 250% of its value" - that seems impossible, so I guess something has been lost in translation! Can you clarify?
Except low aggregate demand recessions do no such thing. It's often the opposite. Recessions keep alive inefficient manual labor intensive, low tech service industries because they make available cheap unemployed/underemployed labor. That's on top of the inefficiency of people doing nothing and living off of unemployment benefit/welfare.

Under performing companies get much more efficiently "creatively destructed" in an economy that is running hot where only the more efficient, well tooled businesses can afford employees at tight labor market wages. On top of this, fewer human resources are left wastefully idle.
In utopian reality, you could run a state owned bank that was run not-for-profit and only charged interest enough to cover losses and expenses.
Why is Molekule a fraud?
Yeah, naming is tough! If you're guiding people from something that resembles pranayama to eventually dhyana then I guess calling it meditation would be fine. I'd just make it clear to your students that working with the breath is a preliminary practice, to help them to begin to recognize awareness. And in particular not to attach to the high that comes with exercises like this, chasing sensation. That could set them back when they need to learn about samatha, because vipassana eventually requires it (see, for example, mahamudra teachings).
The UK has only just Brexited. There's a fair chance that tax rates will be looked at. Bear in mind that there's now an economy roughly the same size as France parked up off the coast of mainland Europe which has just had the safety catch taken off.

I wonder if the "Double Dutch Irish sandwich" or whatever it's called will get a British tinge soon enough.

I voted Remain FWIW. That seems an awfully long time ago.
If the cost of living in a different country is too high then I suppose you are destined to feel oppressed for the rest of your life. It’s a strange position to take. Given that very few people feel your way perhaps it is worthwhile to consider that your position is an extreme one and causing you unnecessary distress.

The Constitution gives government the power to tax. Therefore in this society earning a tax free income is not a right as far as this society is concerned. I apologize for not making that clearer.

The person I responded to did not claim there was unnecessary waste and thus taxes ought to be lower. Their position appears to be that the act of taxation is theft (since it’s done through violent means). Then you chimed in without stating that your position differs. You didn’t give any indication to having a different position to the person I responded to.

Thank you for the discussion. I will read and contemplate your response but will not respond further. It appears to me that we have irreconcilable differences of opinion on the matter.
I absolutely love it when people talk about failures, it is so nice to be able to learn about stuff without having to make the mistake myself.
This is true about so many things. Sometimes people are driven by their knowledgeable and passion, but there is also a large group driven by selfish desire to promote themselves or an agenda. The guy who wants to be in charge so he can be in charge instead of lead, is not the guy you want in charge.

It's amazing how much wasted energy is spent on pseudo science. From zero-energy devices to "secret" cancer cures. Those involved create boogie men(usually the government) who are repressing "the truth", as the actual data to support their claims is weak. Rallying people against a common enemy is easier than coming up with an actual product that works. It's incredibly lazy, and usually a few minutes of research will cast doubt on claims. The scamsters are scum, but you can see the motivation. Those who actually believe are scarier.
They're very related, though. Kind of like "cooking", "personal nutrition" and "kitchen utensils".
You can download the source build of Gradle and get autocomplete for the Groovy DSL as well. Just change `distributionUrl` to the `-all` build of Gradle in your project's gradle-wrapper.properties.
You're describing modern agriculture, with all the issues around pesticide use, soil erosion, cutting down forests to plant crops, etc...
As somebody who paid significant fees out of pocket to see NHS physician in private capacity that is very, very false.
I got curious, because I got a cold or something similar after walking in the snow with wet boots for a few kilometres. It's the second time it happens to me.

From what I gather, that makes you more vulnerable to viral and bacterial infections.

Adding to that, people spend more time in enclosed spaces in the winter, making exposure more likely.
And an insurance should be, well, an insurance. What is referred as "health insurance" is more like "health care plans" (insurers even call it "plans"). Just consider how comprehensive auto insurance is different from health insurance in practice.
While I very much dislike the anticompetitive practices of these companies, I have to agree they aren't really close to monopolies. Google and Facebook are not social media companies. They are advertising companies. They sell ad space. There are still a lot of different ways to spend as money.
Can you explain more about what you mean by silence removal and Python code's fragility? What does sound have to do with source code?

Any function that returns while holding a lock may be a disaster. That's not specific to threads. This is why you should prefer RAII locked mutexes like std::scoped_lock whenever possible.
I personally find cubes to be the worst combination of collaboration vs privacy. You still have people who will walk up to you when you're working, but the cubes really break up the space.

In my office, they have small "conference rooms" which really only have space for 2-3 people that you can reserve if you want to hide away in somewhere quite. I usually fall back to these if I need to go heads down on something.

The best part of the office is the ability to close/lock the door to prevent the annoying "walk ups" that really disrupt work.

> Embed javascript as a scripting language into a Go app.

Sure, but you could already do that. There are several V8 implementations in Go you could use directly to invoke javascript code, but you'd have to pass values directly in and get return values directly out to interface between the two languages.

We need more alternatives to google, not less. On the one hand, great for blekko to have an exit of sorts, on the other a huge loss for the web. Now it's more or less down to duckduckgo and the likes of gigablast.com (which is now open source).
If you want to know what companies offer as base salaries check this website I made that uses H1B wage data. The tech companies have a very wide range for negotiation at each level and it's important to know that when you go into salary negotiations. Although this is H1B data, for top companies these are the same base salaries that US residents are also making, and they are pretty damn high....Look at google for example: http://salarytalk.org/search#%7B%22qcompanyName%22%3A%22goog...
