Ask HN: What are some good YouTube channels for developers
After that video came out, a bunch of trailer manufactuers improved their underride guard designs, and the newer ones are apparently much better at stopping cars: https://www.iihs.org/iihs/news/desktopnews/all-major-trailer...

It's going to be a long time before most trailers have the improved guards, but hopefully it will get better eventually.
Applied! Sounds like a unique opportunity that I would love to learn more about!
RoundUp would be found in close to 100% of everyone's urine, if only people had access to the tests.
I’ve wondered that, too. It pisses me off to no end. WSJ is the worst, but the Washington Post, Economist, and Bloomberg are hot on their heels.
My history is probably a little off, but the first time I heard of lab grown diamonds in the press was right around the time a couple people were testing a theory that they could identify diamond bearing rock from aerial surveys.

They bought a chunk of land in Canada and turned it into a big ol’ diamond mine. Another source of conflict free diamonds (other than the poor bastards who sold their mineral rights) and at a comparable price.

Hey, it depends on what you are building. I have found with React Native + Expo is that you can mostly avoid native code until you need something that isn't supported by React Native (eg. payment integration) - in that case you will need to eject the app. You would have to manage routing on the app, etc.

If your background is in web dev, building a PWA should be much easier.

It is very important and dear to me that any diamond I buy caused sufficient pain, death and bloodshed.
You can use it as a Mint replacement without any of their Wealth Management offerings? How do they make money? What are the hidden costs?
Easy enough. No phones in school. If you're caught, phone confiscated until the end of the year. That's what they did in my kids middle school.
The diamond I purchased for my wife's engagement ring costed about the headline price, and it wasn't lab-grown. If the lab-grown diamond was significantly better in specification for the same price, I'd probably have no issue buying it. If no one can tell without specialized equipment and your spouse doesn't care, why not?

But if there wasn't a significant improvement in the diamond across several dimensions, I'd stick with the "real" one. When I purchased one I used diamond screener[1] to find as efficient a price as possible for what I was willing to spend. My research at that time showed that there wasn't a significant price improvement in lab-grown diamonds compared "real" diamonds at the most efficient prices for similar quality. But maybe that's changed now.

In any case, I think it would be great if the price of diamonds came down overall. Lab-grown diamonds are hopefully a good step in that direction. Though I'm concerned they'll evolve to be just as expensive, but marketed to a different set of values.

EDIT: Am I being offtopic? Why am I being downvoted?

You don't design software on the premise that nothing works as intended and spec is thrown out of the window. If your software is full of bugs then you've failed on multiple levels and that's just one of them.

And in this case, the spec required by me and other consumers is that application and OS state remain completely independent.

For a lot of people it's not only the difficulty of learning, but also people get weary their skills might not be marketable for their next job. Marketability goes the other way too-- will this programming language be points-against by future prospective employees?

There's also developer experience-- there's a ton of tools available for JavaScript, developed by people across the industry-- and long-term maintainability. JavaScript has a solid record of backwards compatibility and multi-platform support, plus lately its been getting lots of cool new features. Adopting Dart could sound like becoming too dependant on Google and the decisions they make, especially considering that forking or migrating a programming language is a harder than doing so with libraries.

I don't know how big all these concerns would are when considering Dart, but it's things organizations thinking of switching/adopting a new programming language need/tend to think about ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>The evidence is shaky

Indeed, it is. The FBI said under oath that they did not get to do forensics on the server. The owner of CrowdStrike, the company which did have access, had a conflict of interest that was easily overlooked. CrowdStrike had to retract multiple claims made in their report.

Then there's the curous case of faked DNS logs which were meant to show communication between a Trump Tower server and a Russian bank.

I'm all for enhanced cybersecurity. In a government setting, I observed many attacks during my time on a cyber ops team for a couple years. These "Russian hacking" articles are however very political in nature. Assuming that the events most often reported about the DNC leaks are fact is foolhardy.
I’d say buying that non-diamond engagement ring was an even better investment than my dude realized.

Unless you think VPNs don't exist in China, then of course your use of the word "censored" needs to be qualified.

Did you read these links yourself? One of the your links only mentions that it's not taught in school, others are also based on anecdotal evidence (some of which express that it's sometimes taught in schools and that some people know but don't care). The one statistic that I found in your articles asked about the tank man and not the event itself, and even then their number was 15/100, which is low but not zero.

I don't disagree with what's expressed in these links. I disagree with your characterization of people in China having zero access to this information. If you find my opinions/suspicions/admonitions irrelevant, that's a personal issue. I'm good as long as it's been communicated to you (apparently it has).

I have my (rather messy) taxes done by a professional accountant every year, and he saves me a ton of money by doing things like this. I'll have to see if this report can help him with a more accurate picture of my expenses.

First thought is I wish there was a way to bulk edit transaction.

I also have my rent which it picks up as a "utility," and which should be partially deductible as a home office. Doesn't seem to be able to handle that slightly more complex use case yet.

Taxes are complicated…

> Firefly had some good ideas, but its whole "space western" (or more accurately, "space American Civil War")

“Space Western” is more accurate; except for a couple of flashbacks, the Civil War analog was past-and-background, just as is the case with the Civil War itself traditionally in the Western genre.

> Compare it to the anime Cowboy Bebop,

I'd rather not, since (despite the Western genre being an influence on both), they are so radically thematically different that there is really no point in comparison.
VPC simply is what's there. Google's offerings in that regard are superior. Any SDN on private cloud would be be way, way better.

Just got our wedding rings in the mail: matching meteorite, dinosaur femur, and titanium rings. $600 for the pair. So god no, I wouldn't pay that much. I could have a pretty dope hobbiest genetic engineering lab for that money.
My point was more that it would be hard to identify savings recommended by Keeper that were previously unknown the to user. It could recommend tax savings due to heating/phone/internet of the home office but, if the user was already accounting for those, pointing them out provides no actual benefit.
Its a fair point because its a generic point.

Changing something that already works well enough introduces risk. You might make some things better, you might make some things worse. If things are already pretty good, making changes might result in making more things worse than better.

True with most things. UI/UX, art, software, architecture, writing, etc etc
This argument is such a joke. I’ve seen combat and I’ve seen females in the military. Upper body strength is just one variable of many. I find it really bizarre that Americans are advocating for our ground forces to take on more complexity with gender integration at a time when we still can’t figure out how to beat insurgents that don’t even have the same hardware as us.

Ask yourself this: the ostensible “villain” (Russia) is doing the opposite of us with their Infantry units. Ask yourself why.
I've been flagging those. It doesn't seem to have any effect though.
Perfect storms aside, I think Volkswagen will be the biggest producer of EVs within 3 years. They're targeting the high end with the Porsche Taycan, the Porsche Macan EV, and the future Audi e-tron GT which will be based on the Taycan's platform:

https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/porsche-macan-electric-on...

Volkswagen's MEB platform targets mid-range vehicles and will be used for models across the VW, Audi, Skoda, and SEAT brands:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Group_MEB_platform

And Volkswagen is looking to license the MEB platform to other manufacturers:

Ford will probably license the MEB platform for their EVs.

Remember that some services live their life (peak growth and in top 10 list of management), do their job (stable phase) and then run out of steam (tech landscape change, corporate priorities change). It is natural for folks to eventually move off beanstalk into lambda, ecs and forgate. In it peak, beanstalk was the go to service to set up an auto scaling app from code. People have moved on into containers and serverless now. Not so much about beanstalk being bad.

Route53 is okay. Has an API that is incompatible with BIND. There are many other, better providers. Still, it's cheap, so who cares.

RDS doesn't really scale without costing a fortune. It buys you HA and backups. Great, but what if you need performance?

DynamoDB? It scales in terms of IOPS, but again, it's unaffordable.

SNS exists and isn't terrible, but why wouldn't I just run Kafka?
The numbers weren't "all this together". I was just saying if 100% of spend was in category X, this is how much you'd get.

It highlighted pretty well, evidenced by your comment, that RDS was not likely a significant portion of their spend.

From the headline I assumed some “average Jane” had discovered a way to rip off the big banks via wheat derivatives, or futures or some such financial non-sense. Of course the headline for this article seems to reflect the post-modern bullshit that everyone from Wall Street banks to emerging artists (and yes, SV startups) seem to be participating in today. Since post-modernism seems to be preoccupied on the banality of the present I will leave no further words.

Since their data is so bad, I’m going to throw out some bad info too: if a company has less that 5,000 people, don’t look at Crunchbase

> Disagree fully, especially in one party states.

The risk for state governments (particularly after the passage of—or, more precisely, after the courts started giving effect to the due process clause of—the 14th Amendment, though this wasn't entirely absent previously) is that they will be held accountable by the federal government.

It was never a picnic and I go back farther than 20 years.

you need to catch up on lab-grown stones. Basically, they look better, keep their shine longer (i.e. no need to polish that often) and cost 10% of the "real one".

Just realize that intrinsic cost of diamonds is basically 0. Supply is artifically limited by De Beers and Co, demand is pushed up by shiny catalogues and stereotypes etc.

Now that many more labs are going to create moissanites and likes due to expiring patents, diamonds are going down the same path as pearls went ages ago (when people started growing them on mass scale).

So, my prediction is diamonds will lose at least 90% value in coming years, and lab-grown stones take over by storm, pushing overall bling-bling value even further down, making it as common as zirconia or stuff like that.

p.s. 2 of my first engagement rings were real diamonds, north of $5k value each. The most recent one is a custom made moissanite of better clarity and bigger size at < $1k. All girls were happy with their rings ;)
Because government is an extension of all the people, and the government doing it is the people’s will. You doing it is not an extension of the people’s will, and prohibited by law (again, the people decided that).

For the same reason throwing people into prison for committing crimes isn’t against the law but when you lock someone in your basement, you go to prison. This is basic civics. You keep dodging the question, over and over, it’s getting old.

What does "post-modern" mean in this context?

This isn't a leading question - I really don't know what you mean here.
I fully understand why people would choose not to work for free. But that was not the question. Work that does not benefit your employer tends to be work that your employer does not pay you for, but they're not the same.
There's the law, and then there's reality. I worked a job that was based on tips, $5 an hour otherwise. I never once in my life saw an increase in my pay for hours where I made no tips.
1. Auto industry is so vested in China market for their growth, because of US - China trade war that growth opportunity is more or less gone for at least now

2. US is a mature but substantial auto market, with possible tariffs (highly likely since EU and US are not even seriously talking trade) will pull the rug from the under.

3. Debt in developing markets is high, there are only handful of places where there can be some growth but do not have size and heft of US or China markets
Nimbus for Work | Singapore | Fullstack Dev | Onsite, Full-Time | https://nimbusforwork.com

Note: we can provide a visa if you're interested in moving to Singapore (it's a great place to live)

Nimbus for Work provides services and technology to office spaces in Singapore (and soon other cities in SEA). An analogous company in the USA is ManagedByQ, but the key difference (besides location) is that we employ all of our workers and are committed to paying 20% above market rate. We provide everything that an office needs including cleaning, moving, handymen, leasing plants etc. We build internal tech to make our operations more effective (with the potential to spin it into a SaaS later on), and are looking into other office SaaS tech.

We're seed funded, already profitable and growing fast. Our customers include high profile retail stores, numerous co-working spaces, several MNC's, and other growth-stage startups.

I'm looking for a full stack dev (ideally with React experience) to join our team (which is small, and we intend to keep it that way). There's a lot of tech to implement and plenty of opportunity to take full ownership of different initiatives. Technologies we work with: React, React Native, Elixir (Phoenix), Postgres, AWS/GCP/Firebase, IoT (tracking systems).

In my opinion, there's a significant marketing opportunity for lab grown diamonds - a not for profit that makes beautiful artificial pieces that cost just as much as one that's mined, and with the cost difference pays for a significant amount of charity.

Rather than a shameful knockoff, it should aim to draw attention to the fact that it is what it is.

While not universal, I think a $5k artificial ring that looks great and also comes with a story of saving a life on Watsi or building a well in a village would be a compelling product to a substantial number of people.
