Those grumpy guys pervade the web too, in some places when I talk about OpenWRT I'll get mobbed by people that view it as evil, linking it to dead forks of the early 2000s that were popular for blasting RF. These same people love to hate on the GPL, over squabbles that happened decades ago. Highlighting that GPLv3 fixes the permanent license revocation loophole of GPLv2 goes in one ear and out another with 'em.

When I point out the dozens of watts some HAMs are blasting in part of the 5Ghz band, these same asshats are all over that shit. It makes me want to have zero involvement with this toxic community, since many active members can't handle basic logic.

For now I'll stick to the ISM bands, Part 15 is good for many applications.

Exactly, why can't any of their sources just swipe one of the unpopulated PCBs? Even just having a physical circuit board with 6 extra pads added onto it would at least give a hint of truth to their claims.
Interesting idea!

I'm also curious about the business model here. It seems like if you were to aggregate a certain set of metrics and then have each use rate each company for a given position, you could put together some sort of metric which might be useful a) to the companies that are doing the interviewing and/or b) to other folks that are applying for the same position.

Curious to see where you go with this...
> I didn't find an exact source for the China-to-US rate, so the $2 was the low end of a small number of articles about shipping rather than an exact quote.

Oh, I'm not questioning your accuracy, I was just wondering the source, since I wasn't finding anything easily. :)

I don't think this is the end of direct shipping from China, but it is a large blow to that random super cheap Chinese knock-offs market. The Planet Money episode I linked in a sibling comment covers the story of an American (unspillable) mug maker that noticed knock-offs selling super cheap from China. He was able to order one with free shipping for $5.59, free shipping from China. He asked his shipping department how much it would cost to mail the mug across the street, and was told $6.30, just for shipping. I think that illustrates the distortion this has on the market very clearly, where something can be manufactured in China and shipped to a US home cheaper than a US manufacturer can just ship the item.

I'm sure there are plenty of items with a higher base cost where Chinese manufacturers will be able to make up that shipping extra in a lower item cost, but given how large the market of very cheap directly shipped items is, I think this will have a very large effect, especially since I think there's a lot more consumer confidence ordering very cheap things from China than somewhat expensive things. I don't care too much if my $10 item from China is crap, or unsuitable for it's intended use, or just fake, but I might really care if it's a $50 item, so I might choose a North American company to order from.

SRE vs. DevOps – The Dilemma
Are the talks available for the sides?
Not sure I fully understand your question, but I'll try to answer:

FaunaDB (like other highly available databases) is set up to have multiple replicas of the same data. You can direct reads to any of the replicas. For example if replica #1 is unavailable due to a network outage, you can read replica #2 instead.

This thread is about the behavior of FaunaDB, which allows reads to replicas that have older stale values (i.e. they're not up-to-date with latest data). This causes the various consistency anomalies that I've been describing. The reason FaunaDB works like this is to make reads faster and to better distribute read load. Allowing secondary/follower/slave reads like this is a common tactic for increasing read performance.

Does that answer your question?
Are you talking about the old policy, or what? The only thing that has changed here is the process for signing an app, which has always required a developer account. It just requires uploading a binary now, instead of working entirely offline. And you can still run unsigned apps.
The problem is the “submit” part. I.e. the docs say “xcrun aitool” but doing that gets some you an undocumented CLI app where it seems like you have to supply your Apple ID and password on the command line.

Seems... less than ideal? How does that work with 2FA?
I think that the market for smaller phones has died a bit as phones have become the primary computer for a lot of people.

There are people who don't own a desktop or laptop at home, or if they do, they use it very rarely. For them, their phone is their primary device, so it makes sense for the screen to be large enough that it's practical and comfortable to use for long periods.
A Persian poet like Hafez [1], who lived in the 14th century, also deals pretty extensively with feelings, much more so than a lot of novelists and poets from today's age. Granted, I've only read him in translation but even so I remember that his poetry left a definite mark on younger me.

In my experience, hams break down roughly down into two groups. Yep, there are those who like to ragchew about any/everything. For them radio is a means, not an end.

And then those who are really interested in ham radio itself ... equipment, antennas, modes, propagation ... any of the endless opportunities to explore and trade ideas about new radio experiences with other people.

Those discussions are easiest to have without repeaters or HF QRM. Get to know who's technical in your area (they -do- pop up on repeaters now and then) and those discussions can endlessly fun without the bragging and the B.S.

There are thousands of things to try, and a never-ending range of new technical variations to combine. Possibilities these days are really endless.

Heh -- I'd say it's safe to say that almost all companies are data companies now. Walmart, Amazon, UPS, grocery stores, etc. Even if you take a look at major league baseball teams, there's been a huge shift to analyzing the data of their business to establish norms, trends, expectations, etc. I think a better way to describe Palantir would be that they're a company help their clients draw correlations and potential conclusions from data based on a very large dataset of information. Finding how seemingly-unrelated disparate data actually is related is the secret sauce that makes their product valuable to government agencies and other large organizations. You can see how this would be helpful for something like the Department of Homeland Security.

An xray or optical inspection would never be able to detect the doping of the silicon so it's possible to alter the behavior of the chip in such a way as to allow an attacker to cripple something like Intel's random number generator RdRand yet have this be basically undetectable in software.
I tried listening to police bands on actual radio over where I live (in some places they don't encrypt their comms yet). Gave up after hearing way more PII than I was comfortable with.

There's a similar problem with taxi bands, though it's been improving over the years (in particular, the new wave of pay-through-app taxis helping). It used to be that drivers would read full card data aloud to transmit it to the base - in-the-clear.

True, classes and multimethods aren’t exactly interchangeable. It’s just that I haven’t found classes useful (at least as done in Java/Python/C++ objects) as compared to the combination of multimethods and type specialization. At least in the context of scientific computing.

Does CL use virtual tables to implement CLOS? Always been curious about that. It seems CL must keep the state associated with redefined objects. How do you handle new fields and filling in values with CLOS?

It does appear you can’t redefine structs in the repl. Forgot about that point, though as you point out there doesn’t appear to be anything fundamental to prevent that from being changed in the future. I haven’t used Julia day-to-day much for a while, but hopefully the newer generation tools will add in the “old” features from CL and similar.

Have you ever tried CLASP?

The Icelandic sagas certainly also portrays emotions. The characters are very much driven by emotions. The point is it is displayed entirely through their actions, not by internal monologue or direct description of their mental states like in 19th century literature.

Ancient lyrical poetry like Sappho on the other hand is direct expression of feelings. Ecclesiastes (in the Bible) is a monologue about the narrators feelings and mental state.

So it seems to more like a question of genre and narrative style rather than some kind of mental development of humanity. The sagas are not fiction, they are supposed to be about actual historical figures and events. You don't know what a historical figure actually thought and felt, only what they said and did. There are some examples in the sagas where characters directly express their feeling through poetry.

This: https://abc7news.com/news/data-shows-sf-has-2nd-highest-home... says NYC has 887 homeless per 100K, while SF has 795. SF seems to spend about 54K per homeless person, while NYC about 29K, or 54% of SF number.
>then what we're looking for is least-bad.

Wealth certainly isn't the least-bad.

Also I haven't seen any evidence that encouraging people to judge others by one metric discourages them from judging people by other metrics.
The economics of hobby businesses, like bookstores and coffee shops and art galleries, are almost always such that you can either feed it the equivalent of a full time salary, or work there every hour it's open yourself, because the kind of business is one that other people want to do for free as a hobby.

This means that, unless you want to be a slave to your own business, you'd better have $50k a year minimum passive income in a cheap town to "give" to the business, plus $100k-$500k to set up the space, plus enough money to live on for yourself, or it's not worth it.

And forget about ever making a profit, even if you do work there every hour it's open.
Sorry, this is just false. Make the phone a few mm thicker. Solved.
Something I am missing here. At the beginning they say spending and the luck of money is not a problem (and with 54K per year per homeless person it sounds plausible) and then at the end they claim the solution would necessarily mean higher taxes. That makes no sense - if money is not the issue, why you'd need higher taxes?
Salus: How Coinbase scales security automation
This seems like a straw man argument. Obviously everyone is “judgmental” to some degree or another (maybe with the exception of some people with severe mental injuries or the like), especially if you can make as expansive a definition as you want for “judgment”.

But not everyone is equally judgmental, certainly not publicly. Some are constantly publicly disparaging everyone and every thing, offering unsolicited advice, making rude exclamations, making public comparisons, bragging, chatting behind people’s backs, or the like.

Others get along without ever making obvious negative judgments, e.g. don’t obviously concern themselves too much with other people, or keep their criticisms to themselves and keep their conversation no-nonsense, or find genuine compliments to dish out in a wide variety of circumstances, or talk about themselves out of joy at spreading ideas vs. personal marketing, etc.

Some of these people are just exceptionally empathetic (and don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings) or politically savvy, but some pretty clearly just don’t care that much.

> isn't wealth, being acquire-able, a somewhat more "fair" criteria to be judged on?

Personally, I don’t feel like I should care about it, and I try not to care. There’s nothing inherently bad about wealth, but I don’t really find it very impressive or interesting per se.

I am much more judgmental (personally, not necessarily aloud) about how excited people are about what they are doing, how adventurous they are at trying ideas, how kind they are, how much they empathize with others, how reliable, etc.

Wealth is one of the least valuable signals I have found for predicting whether I will like someone in the long term... though I admit I judge people negatively for wantonly wasting resources or bragging about their wealth.

Any very cheap phone on banggood
hey thanks for the suggestions ill have to try a few of those stacks later when I have the money to. I've been meaning to experiment with a racetam as well as adrafinil (or more realistically modafinil if I could acquire it directly.)

those doses of memantine seem a lot more realistic than what I would do, namely taking 150-200mg daily. but I wasn't doing it for the nootropic benefit. i was doing it for the sake of the nmda antagonism. granted i still found nootropic benefit even in those extreme doses but i think my experience is very atypical as I tend to feel more functional and alert when I am experience a period of marked nmda antagonism. may just be confirmation bias or something like that but it seems the only time recently in my life I've been able to make something of myself and do what's necessary is when I have those doses of memantine.

> An NSL compels you to say nothing.

Is that true in this case? My understanding is that NSLs are a subpoena with an accompanying gag order _about the subpoena_. I haven't heard of a case where an NSL was used to restrict speech in the manner you're suggesting. In other words, I believe an NSL could be used to hide government interest in such a breach, but not to hide the fact of the breach.

This is one of the main differences between the US and UK approach to classified information; there's no official secrets act in the US.
Is anything truly "fair" then? Even people's decisions and actions are affected by their genetics and upbringing, none of which are really fair. By this logic it's unacceptable to judge people on anything.
That looks really interesting, but: 1.) It's Verizon only, 2.) It needs to be "paired" with an existing line, and 3.) It's $350.

Mobility might have decreased in this country relatively (although without considering the cause) but absolute quality of life has increased with iphones in every pocket, on-demand services for everything imaginable, and white collar tech jobs paying mid-6-figures in one of the strongest currencies.

I have to again bring up the fact that this is on YC forums which have witnessed many people from many countries start with nothing but a few comments and build incredibly successful companies.

wont they made themselves irrelevant?

now it's the same price of any itx board. with the same high power profile.

Wealth in the US correlates strongly along racial lines. The rich getting richer widens wealth disparities between races and communities, which in turn widens the gap in political voice, both because of money and education.
