> Is it common to have an interface on everything? I would have thought you'd just have interfaces where you can have multiple parts fitting the same socket. That's how I do it, and I thought that was common and common sense?

Combine zealotry with the internet, blog-posts about how you "should always" and you can have yourself a cargo-cult programming-practice of your own choosing.
Rust (and Go) present an interesting challenge to people who have cargo-culted object-orientation. In Rust, data is dumb, and traits (aka 'interfaces') provide meaning. So you can go polymorphic with 'trait objects' or monomorphic with trait constraints on generics (i.e don't have to pay for virtual dispatch when it matters). The cool thing is that both languages allow interfaces to be _added_ in consuming code, they're not part of the definition as in Java.
Inductor, not chokes. Part of the buck converter to create Vcore.
It's part of a step down voltage regulator called a buck converter. The buck converter works by putting a pulse of energy into the inductor and stretching it out to lower the voltage. This creates the core voltage.
I live in a house built in the early 1900's with the original slate tile roof still on it and it's in decent shape.
I usually use "guaranteed to respond to the issue within one business day" which gives extra leeway for the weekends/holidays, with the additional provision that I need to give advance warning for things such as vacations, etc..

Most customers I've dealt with seem perfectly fine with that.

The crucial part here is to be careful (as you were) and not say "guaranteed fixing of issues within X".

That's correct. If I recall correctly, Marx was one of the first to note that the value of this kind of work (which he called "reproductive work" if I'm translating the German "Reproduktionsarbeit" correctly) is not reflected by our economic system (in terms of monetary output) properly.

Ask HN: Best keyboard layout for programming?
I'm interested in knowing your opinions and also what keys you modify in case you do (a lot of Vim users change things). I personally use the Spanish Standard and I can assure the position of some important keys is so bad, so I'm thinking of moving to the US standard. Thoughts?
Hm, that seems unusually high, really wonder where these stats come from. Is every eurostat statistic distorted like that?

Here's a chart of energy prices on a Prague energy exchange, currently it's about 30 EUR/MWh = 0.032 USD/kWh. I pay a bit more than that (incl. distribution) with a good tarif (low cost broker), but even conservative people I know who don't renegotiate energy prices get about 0.06 USD/kWh incl. all distribution fees.

That said, electric distribution network in our country is probably underinvested. Is the premium you're paying in US based on distribution network cost?

What do you think could be improved/changed in the future?

I agree that the process is overly tedious to an unnecessary degree. I have read that test have shown that TSA security( or check-in security in general) is more for show (providing sense of security) then actually being effective. In addition to that the statistics even say that risks of airplane failures are far lower then other risks.

Yet there seems to be a trend in banning and restricting more and more from airplane travel. And many people, that I know, think these restrictions are good.

Show HN: OSOM: Evesdrop on what locals are recommending to each other
As an American who frequently travels to Europe for business and pleasure, it's more than the inconvenience. Luggage handlers frequently lose or damage luggage--not rarely, but frequently. Most of my bags are pretty beat up. Just watch them load baggage onto a plane sometime, then tell me you feel comfortable leaving $4000 in equipment in a baggage hold.

Furthermore, there are many, many instances of lithium batteries unintentionally catching fire mid-flight. While the device is in the cabin, passengers can douse the flames. Now imagine a device in a cargo hold...over the Atlantic...with dozens of other flammable batteries...catching fire...where no one can get to it and there's no place to land...

Most importantly, this fear of being killed by a terrorist is getting ridiculous. We give up everything just on the off chance somebody might try to disable a plane. But we still get into cars, walk down streets, attend movies and plays, go out in public, go to work--all activities people are killed on almost a daily basis. As a Colorado resident, we've had schools shot up, movie theaters, even the building down the street from where I work had an "active shooting" situation recently. If we treated the risk of death honestly, we'd spend all our time on planes and none of our time out in the world.
Keylogger in Hewlett-Packard Audio Driver
Yup, I have some ideas. Thanks for the kind words!
Just to set the record straight: I never once in my comment talked about "evidence of conspiracy or fraud on the part of the government". You are putting words into my mouth here.

All I am saying is that in my opinion the intel isn't that strong, because otherwise a) other countries would have acted on it as well and b) you would implement the ban in such a way that it isn't trivial to circumvent.

This has nothing to do with conspiracy or fraud. Faced with the same evidence, different people can come to different conclusions and cost/benefit trade-offs, and apparently the U.S. government (for whatever reasons) has come to a different conclusion than most of the rest of the world. Is this a sign of a conspiracy? No. Does this mean these new U.S. policies are per se reasonable and a good idea? Also no.
Relatively easy. I gave you an example, that has several dozens of dependencies, with several different build systems, of which not all of them support building with VS.

And that's targeting py3. For py2, you would need to build with VS2008, which some packages flat out refuse (for example, icu wants at least VS2010).

I'm on the snowdrift.coop team. This type of thing was part of the original vision -- you'll see bits and pieces if you poke around our wiki[0] -- and remains that way.

Ironically, we struggle from the same funding problem we're looking to solve. At some point we realized we needed to drastically reduce scope if we were ever going to launch. For context, Snowdrift has been around for slightly longer than Patreon, but we didn't receive several million dollars of VC funding (or solicit it -- our mission is strictly ethical, not competitive[1]). We're planning on adding community-support-type features back in as we (hopefully) grow and open up the platform to more projects.

I'm happy to chat more, but am also in the hectic last few days of my semester; I'll come back to this but am not sure exactly when. If you'd like to get someone else's response, you can try pinging people in #snowdrift on freenode.

[1] If someone else succeeds at creating sustainable support for FLO projects, we'll gladly pack our bags and join them. That said, there have been many, many other crowdfunding sites that fail in one respect or another[2]; I'm hopeful for snowdrift.coop because our Crowdmatching mechanism[3] has some unique properties and has never been tried before. (Also, I'm realizing the linked page has some details that are out of date; the general idea of a matching pledge remains.)

Investigations against Onecoin Makers – Possible snowball system
Ask HN: What are the options for gathering talented people around project-to-be
I had that little side-project which should be an integrated solution for end-to-end testing, which I released open source last year (original HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12830746, github repo: https://github.com/nenadg/traquer).

I haven't worked on it since that, because I've been finishing other interesting projects.

Right now I'd like to assemble a group of people interested in further development of a product based on that idea, so I wonder what should I ask people, and what should I give them in return. I have zero money currently so all I can give is a promise of equity or something like that :-).

I know it doesn't sound serious enough to ask people to sacrifice their time for some ludicrously random project, so I wonder how should I approach to realization of my idea?

IMO US standard. Also UK standard as it's the same US layout but with one more key that it might help you in case you want to modify or duplicate one key like "esc".
If you don't want to modify any key it might be better getting a US keyboard as its left shift is bigger and easier to press than the english one.
Question: What is the meaning of life?
Answer: Why are you asking?
Tangentially related: Childcare subsidies are a big win for governments because it lets them convert what would otherwise be "unpaid" labour into something that appears in GDP.

Better than that; by transferring a bit of money from taxpayers you can account for wages from 2 paid jobs, the mother's and the carer's.

There is a sort of neoliberal logic to it of course; in early childcare in my country, ratios are 4:1 - there is an "efficiency gain" if the mother earns more than childcare fees for the children under care.

But of course childcare availability is certainly not a bad thing even if there might be agendas in play.
Buying data lists. You usee your mobile number to get your cinema ticket - or whatever - the cinema sells that data. Do you get package alerts when you have a parcel due, now your phone number is joined to that address, plus presumably the credit card companies sell their data (?).

Companies amalgamate that data, then sell lookups of varying degrees.

Screwfix in the UK gather a lot of personal data as part of their sales process, they're the least covert about data gathering I've seen.

Paying them well is a good start, promises of equity don't feed people and don't pay mortgages.

If you're willing to actually give out (substantial) equity rather than just promising it you might find a talented young person willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. But promises should get you absolutely nowhere.

It all looks as if you're trying to get others to go the distance on this idea of yours and then maybe if you're honorable you'll cut them in on a slice. That's bad optics and tech people are wising up to being taken advantage of so I suggest you fix that first before you try to attract talent.

Keep in mind that you don't think the project is worth your time because other things are more interesting so you're going to have a hard time convincing others that it is worth their time.

If you expect either 7% real returns or 10% nominal returns from the stock markets over the next few decades, you're gonna have a bad time - mostly because real interest rates in the 21st century are much lower than in the second half of the 20th.

Current expert thinking is that there is a 4% equity risk premium over cash interest rates. Current cash rates are 1% nominal or -1% real. If you are an optimist like the Fed, cash rates will rise to 3% over the long term - which gets you to 7% nominal/5% real at best.
