Although the title is a little bit provocative, i tend to agree that RSS is a better way to consume news than Twitter or any other social media platform by the way.
Social platforms should be used for social, not for news, but i guess Twitter is a special case in that one of its core values is to deliver news in real time. But do we need realtime?
Twitter being a social platform, it means you can't easily avoid trolls, offensive/aggressive/idiotic comments...

Off the top of my head, some issues i had with RSS and/or with the tools/RSS readers:
- RSS can become en echo chamber if you have a limited number of feeds
- Too many feeds and your feeds are flooded with a lot of noise
- want to check the top stories of the day, or trending content? need to use a different tool than your RSS reader.
- want to follow some social feeds but without the noise of social platforms?

I wrote something about the signal/noise ratio in RSS recently:
https://medium.com/@julien.aktu/rss-less-noise-more-informat...

To solve these issues, i'm trying to bring something to the RSS ecosystem, and i built a news platform mixing RSS and traditional news aggregation.
It has features to limit the noise and help avoid echo chambers. You can follow Facebook pages, Twitter users, etc... add your newsletters to declutter your mail box, and much more to come.

Folks around me sing praises of Samsung and LG display panels, and I can still vouch for my Bravia I got years ago. That thing is rock solid and one of my personal best investments so far in consumer electronics.
What Working at Elastic Has Been Like
As a counter point, JetBrains almost certainly uses Open Source libraries in their products. You can say you trust that they've vetted every single version of every library they've ever released and all their transitive dependencies, but the likelihood they've actually done that is slim to none (else it would be item #1 in all their marketing material)
I switched to cutting my own hair about 6 years ago. My cut is a simple #6 clipper on the top (#5 in the hottest part of the summer) and #3/#2 on the sides and back. (The numbers are "how many 1/8 inches?")

I can cut my own hair at home anytime I want (the real benefit/driver behind it) in about 7-10 minutes, including cleanup. Because it's at home, I cut it right before a shower (dry), sweep up with my hand and dispose of the hair, and take the shower.

I bought Amazon B001JJBC9Y ($60) and B001T0HHB0 ($25) and am happy with those.

(Unless I told you, you'd never know I cut my own hair.)
Ok. it's actually fairly simple. A minor correction though: Qualcomm actually never made their legal argument based on QTL and QTC. Qualcomm did argue that their patent portfolio goes beyond baseband chips and their customers are paying for non-chip related features that cover security, encryption, algorithm, etc.. (hence no exhaustion)

And yes, it's perfectly legal to pick anyone one, not all, layer in the supplier chain and collect royalties there. The wireless industry agreed to collect the royalties from the last manufacturer in the supply chain decades ago -- and that's more or less the de facto industry practice today. This isn't to say SEP holders can go after any random body as they please -- there are legal analysis and factors that help determine if that's fair. For instance, I think it's reasonable to use the end-user smartphone device as royalty basis since Qualcomm's IP adds significant value and drive market demand for Apple's iPhones. On the other hand, it would be silly to make similar comparison to a BWM 8 Series Coupe with wireless functionality.
I'll agree that there is likely some value (usually CYA for the company) and some real value too. However, those things still take up significant time that the two-person startup doesn't have to worry about and that is just one class of time wasters for big companies. It's always something: A big day-long network outage, firedrills, performance reviews, management shakeups, water cooler gossip, sending emails, reading emails, sudden surprise requests from executives, having to have IT install something as they took away admin rights, preparing for audits and disaster recovery...etc. I bet a startup could easily avoid 30% of the work which just comes with having 100-1000 people in an organization.
Which illustrates perfectly well why the idea that wind and solar can deliver our base energy needs just isn't warranted.

It's great as auxiliary powers but not an actual solution.
If We Remade Google Inbox, Would You Use It?
The inventor of Raptor codes, M. Amin Shokrollahi, sold his company, Digital Fountain, to Qualcomm. Upon the sale to Qualcomm, Qualcomm acquired all of Digital Fountain's IP rights.

Qualcomm has asserted that these Raptor code-related patents (an early one of which was filed in 2004) are standards essential, and require to be licensed from Qualcomm.[1][2]

The below-linked patent would expire in 2024. However, there are a slew of continuation applications that expire much later than 2024.

Update: additionally, there is at least one earlier-dated patent filed in 1999, which expired in February. [3]

There is a whole culture of boots-trappers who focus on testing and making pre-sales rather than sinking time on blind faith. I just came home from hanging out with them at

I don't see why blind faith is necessary for the majority of ideas.

> The increasing number of black professionals may mean that the relatively high cost of a Trim-It cut - £25 - is not an obstacle to growth.

As with every Uber for X thing, price is not a problem for winners of knowledge economy. For the rest it might be cheaper to do it themselves specially since trimming kits are quite cheap nowadays.
It's luck of the draw. We understand perhaps 15-20% of the genes/proteins in the human genome fairly well. We have fairly general notions of what the rest are but lack specific understanding. We also discover novel functions for genes/proteins we thought we knew well.

One way to discover function is to what's called a "genetic screen": Assuming one develops a robust way of measuring those chemicals; we fix that as the "phenotype" we're looking for. We can then disable each gene (with CRISPR, or RNAi, or chemical mutagenesis..) and see if the chemicals get produced (or stop getting produced); and then sift through those. This strategy is far from being exhausted; and people keep coming up with cool phenotypes to measure.

One idea I've been excited for some time is using ML to robustly annotate behaviors from mice by using wide-range microphones and 24/7 video as the phenotype; and use a combinatorial genetic screen to rigorously discover genetic contributors to behavior (aggression, mobility, curiosity, socializing behavior etc.) The ML algorithm can be initially trained by hand-annotated behaviors (annotated by post-docs etc.)
The article appears to provide no support for it's bold claim. Why is that? Why can't they provide an argument that shows that examining the fundamentals and rational consequences of an idea can actually evaluate whether an idea is 'good' or not? That seems like a valid strategy to me. Often good ideas are rooted in a fundamental shift in perspective on an admitted need. Yet this article makes the claim that this method of evaluating a good idea, and every single other possible method one could formulate, must be wrong.

And then they fail utterly to ever substantiate or defend that claim. They just presume the audience accepts it on blind faith. This is a common problem with arguments that invoke 'blind faith' in almost any capacity. Even Kierkegaard's famous 'Leap of Faith' interpretation of belief in God (the idea that because God is beyond human understanding, belief in it can only come through a 'leap' and not through a chain of reasoning) is underlaid with an unsupported presumption that there exist things which can be beyond human understanding, or that such an idea is even sensical itself. Yet that is never supported there either.
We have a license and use them for satellite broadcasting, but my understanding is Qualcomm has made statements in https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1511/ that if you use it for a "wireless wide-area standard (for example, a UMTS-compatible handset or Infrastructure equipment)" you'll be charged a standard royalty fee, otherwise they don't care.
The French police as a general rule (it's not absolute, but it's discouraged) doesn't pursue criminals in the Hollywood movie sense, they use traps and come knocking on their doors later. That's the trick with criminals: they are normal people who occasionally speed in front of a school or crossed the street at the wrong place, they still need a place to live and sleep.

One prime example is that they are instructed to not pursue someone with a car on a highway (it's very common that drug transportation happen on the north/south highways in France), just block the exits or intercept at the toll booths.

We live in a surveillance society (in particular in the US), the police has to adapt, it can save lives.
Whenever LUKS is decrypted, the key must remain available. Otherwise, the system can't access anything. If you search about recovering stuff from RAM, you'll find some approaches for obfuscating LUKS keys. But ultimately, they (or the way to access them) must be in RAM somewhere. I think, anyway.

For the trip wires thing, you can just have them apply 5VDC to the wrong RAM pins. And then, if you wanted to recover the motherboard, you'd need to chip out stuff, and replace it. But it's probably only the CPU that'd be worth recovering. And maybe you'd want to embed that too, just in case.

This _type_ of license? Maybe. Depends on jurisdiction.

_This_ license? Probably not.

Making your own license is hard. The best advice is probably don't try unless you're a licensing expert or have unlimited access to one.
While I agree with most of what you've said, there is an issue of (a) what level of economic damage does this crime need to cause before it gets investigated—both for individual cases and for London overall (b) any efficiency gain would hopefully decrease the cost of investigation (in terms of hours spent), hence the assistance them with details (e.g. transactions) which they have completely ignored.

Yep, I have/am currently on the tail end of having done so. I generally work in construction because there is basically no i.t work in my region and where I live has some of the highest unemployment in Aus.

Last year in June I got hired by IBM to work as a hardware technician in the region I live in (Ive been trying to get into i.t for roughly a decade, I'm all self taught but it's my passion). I took roughly a 50% cut to the pay I earn in construction in order to work for IBM. It put me on a pay less than the mean and median wage of Australian workers, about 45k a year. Despite the incredibly low wage it was hands down the best work experience I've ever had. It's the third company in a decade of work that didn't try and screw me over as an employee by either stealing wages/underpaying me or making me do illegal shit. Construction is rife with that. It was like a breath of fresh air for my attitudes towards work.

Then a month and a half ago, IBM gave me notice of redundancy. Friday was my last day on the books. I've been battling some pretty crippling depression/stress since I was given notice. Having a job I'd literally been chasing for a decade ripped out from under me was like being stabbed in the guts. I spent my first week waking up between 2 and 4am dry wretching and wanting to throw up. It took about 3 weeks to get over it. Now I'm unemployed, but grateful for the experience. It's just a pity I'm probably never going to get back into I.T, jobs are rare as hens teeth here and I have bills to pay. Life outlook isn't that great post this experience, there isn't much of a future when your 30 in construction but don't have an actual trade. But eh onwards and upwards right?

The OP's config files are probably synced across all the servers and workstations they work with.. This is probably done using a familiar tool the OP already knew.

The IDE's config might be synced. If it is it probably uses a proprietary server.

Another way of putting this might be "charge by the sprint".

You don't track your time specifically, you do report back on your progress each week/two, and the company makes renewal decisions off of that. The point is to not subdivide the week.

> As amusing as your response is, there's a pretty sharp distinction between discoverability in an IDE/GUI vs discoverability in Vim/bash.

I find it more time consuming to go through a bunch of menus and GUI windows to find something I'm trying to do vs being able to just run a command or Google for a command and run that instead.

Plus, for common actions with annoying to type syntax you can make a custom key bind (Vim) or alias (Bash). Then it becomes extremely easy to do once you memorize a single key bind.
In addition to "Assume good faith," I think HN should have a rule that goes something like, "Assume people aren't complete idiots." Call it a hunch, but I'm going to guess that the people who build this thing understand how to use a simple IR sensor to tell if a human or animal larger than a typical warehouse rat approaches within several meters.
No problem. It can be a hard and long problem to solve, but it gets better with time and space.

Everyone's experience is different, but one thing I can say is this: the size of a problem is not necessarily proportional to the effect it will have on you in this state.

For instance, I had a reduced ability to multitask. Multitasking is one of those things where holding even three simple things in your head can be hard.

So, don't beat yourself up if an apparently simple situation is causing you stress. What seems simple may not be, given how humans are wired. And you have a reduced capacity while burnt out.

What you can do is look for things that trigger situations. Then see if you can reconfigure things so that the trigger is eliminated.

It's also helpful to look for physical signs. For example, in my case, I would get a tension in my neck, when inhaling. This happened after a stressor. Paying attention to this let me identify stressors and deal with them.

I also was able to work on it from the other end. Basically, my system was identifying minor threats as larger threats. So, I did something called square breathing. Basically: Stressor --> awareness --> hold breathe, count to 4 --> exhale, then inhale --> hold breathe while inhaled, count to four. Repeat if necessary.

It was like a pattern interrupt. The body wanted to go "minor stressor --> red alert!!!!!!". The breathing interrupted this and demonstrated to the body "see, no threat. Cancel the alarms".

After doing that for a few weeks I basically no longer have to do it, except in rare cases. Though that was some time in to the burnout, so some other stuff may have fixed itself in the meantime. YMMV, including with the specific way in which you do breathing.

Another thing: sleep as if your life depends on it. Good sleep helps every other thing and especially burnout.

I recognize that saying this can make the problem worse. So: if you are awake at night, and can't sleep: don't sweat it. Don't sweat the one offs. Instead, look for causes and solutions.

I improved my sleep by working on light exposure. I wrote more on that here a couple of days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19507938

Working on the general environment helped fixed my sleep. I still have occasional off nights, but the rhythm is better.

Sleep may not be your issue. The point is, to the extent you're able, get outside of a situation, analyze it, look for stressors, and consider the full rational situation. Basically your job is to teach your body to align its (presently damaged) threat response systems to the actual situation, which is presumably not an acute threat.

Some or much of this may not apply to you, so take the bits that do apply. And good luck!
The next video in the series casts serious doubt on that claim:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2YYiig_s9w

I will summarise the claims in the videos.

• Many votes on amendments (not bathroom breaks) are done via quick visual inspection of the room, not electronic vote. It's possible to challenge the outcome and request an electronic vote instead: the video shows many examples of instances where this led to the vote result being inverted i.e. the visual inspection was wrong. In one case the chairman challenges the request for an electronic recount after an amendment was rejected by saying "Usually amendments from Mr Schaffhauser don't find the majority" followed by "good thing we checked ... amendment 247 has been accepted".

• A convention has evolved whereby the chairman doing the visual inspection doesn't even look at the room, and only looks at the leaders of the main parties. The EP frequently assumes everyone will vote with their party leader so there's no point in even checking their actual votes at all. The video contains a clip of the chairman who counts the votes explaining to this MEP that he can clearly see the party leaders so what's the problem.

• In some cases the chairman doesn't even look up from their papers before announcing the results, i.e. votes aren't counted at all.

• Because amendment votes aren't actually being counted, they happen so fast translators can't reliably keep up with the process, such that sometimes by the time the translators have said what the vote is about voting has already closed.

• This happens because the EU Parliament has no real power and the amendments are largely useless, so nobody takes the process seriously. Many people don't bother to raise their hands at all. There are nonetheless lots of votes and MEPs because it inflates the stats and makes the EU look more democratic. A clip is shown of an MEP saying "bear in mind we're in the middle of the world cup so shall we not call for a check".

• Sessions are videoed but the cameras don't show the whole room so you can't actually check how many people voted.

• There is a widespread attitude that none of this matters.

I'm not very surprised by all this myself, because the biggest problem is not even mentioned in the video: the votes are shoddily done because they can't by themselves change the law. They can only do what the Commission lets them do. It's not a real parliament, it just calls itself that.

Seems there's another video in native English that shows other (British) MEPs getting angry about the same problems

You can't buy something and make up new service demands thereafter, or force a private company to design a product or service according to your requirements. What you may do is vote with your money and not buy what you don't like.
