If you want an equal relationship then go work for shares in a startup with no salary, however most workers favors certain money. Employment agreements as they look today fundamentally favors the employee over the employer, you are trading certain value "an exact amount of $$$ per month" for uncertain value "some unspecified amount work might get produced which maybe can get transformed to money in the future". If the uncertain value produced is too low then the company has no reason to continue betting on your future, so they end the agreement.
But if you're writing an interpreter, you can serialize the result of 'evaluating' the structure of your 'function' made out of components that are being interpreted by your code, thus turning your 'function' (when evaluated with one set of code) into a data structure (when evaluated by something that serializes each of the components making up your function)

Also, I want to +1 doing the math on their business. I see so much surprise/outrage when companies pivot. But all of us here are savvy enough to see this pivot coming from miles away. If they are venture backed, then you're right, $12M ARR is not high enough. So that implies they will make a significant pivot down the road.

So don't get too attached to this version of Substack--it's temporary. And IMO, that's totally fine. It just means you need to be ready to pivot along with them (and/or have a plan B business).
A full charge to 100% takes longer.

Fast charging is more intensive on the battery - you don't want it to be running on fast charge the whole time.

It's for scenarios where you might forget to charge or it's been sitting unused for a while but you still want to get to work quickly. It minimizes failure scenarios.

It's meant to be a wireless mouse. Emphasis on wireless.
But drones have a much greater chance of crashing I would think.
>And, in reality, sometimes that truly is the best option in the immediate term to get a system working so you can make enhancements later.

well that depends on the industry. Toy manufacturer probably, aeorospace engineer, not so much. I would think of cars without drivers of belonging into the second category.
This is probably it, I'm going to say Bingo.
I understand that from a variety of factors including greenhouse gas concentration, albedo, and solar intensity you can, in principal, compute the earth's atmosphere's equilibrium mean temperature.

I understand this function to be such that any doubling of the atmosphere's CO2 concentration (while holding the other factors constant) will increase the equilibrium temperature by the same fixed number of degrees.

One thing I know nothing about is how to expect the earth's actual temperature to change over time when there is a difference between actual and equilibrium temperatures.

Suppose A(t) is the earth's actual temp at time t and E(t) is the earth's equilibrium temp at time t.

Presumably, dA/dt = F(A,E), for some function F.

Is anyone here physics-savvy enough to know what F looks like?
If you have available vertical space, I've printed a "cooling case" that works great with my pi 3b+ without heatsinks. It's shaped like a flower vase(wide top, narrow bottom). The top is open(think of it like a large, open drinking cup), and the pi sits in the very bottom. Two funnel-shaped openings(large inlet, small outlet) allow outside airflow directly onto the CPU and wifi chips.

So far it works at full load without throttling for at least the time span of a full length movie(my use-case is a plex media server). The concept is that exhaust heat leaving through the larger opening up top is heated(and expanding) air. The depressurized vase pulls cooler ambient air in through the 2 funnels, which strike the CPU and wifi module for a poor-mans "active cooling", albeit at much lower speeds than a motor-driven fan could provide.

The downside is required vertical; the case is 8 inches tall. This is several times the vertical height of the board itself, so it's a bit of a non-starter for small embedded device use-cases. If you have space to spare though, it might be worth a shot depending on your use-case.
I dunno. I ordered a gallon of oil for my car, and it came in a box that could easily hold 6 of these gallon containers. There was one plastic air pocket for packaging, which was basically flopping around in the box with the oil, and doing nothing. I would think that the oil container flying around the box would cause more damage to other packages than if they had packed it tightly.
The thing is, some of the now known to be true conspiracy theories aren't any saner than the 'crazy' theories. One could easily say that creating the disease could be replaced with modifying the disease. Weaponizing a disease isn't exactly an impossible feat. Banned by international treaty, but since when has they stopped anyone?

One could even say that the conspiracy that it was created by the government is a purposefully leaked theory to discredit the idea they weaponized it.

Is it really any crazier than MKUltra, Tuskegee experiment, Manhattan project, or the planned Operation Northwood?

New Slack update combines workspaces into one page to reduce memory usage
From what I've read about BeyondCorp it's far more sophisticated than just Teleport. It's also a service monitoring status of a device including boot security throughout the entire life of the decide, private keys stored in TPM, plus various tiers that depend on multiple factors.
You'd still get the problem of devices either supporting various modes or features or not.

The whole idea of "one connector that does everything" is flawed, unless you standardize what "everything" means and give users visual clues. Such as, oh, a different type of connector, like we used to have.

I get precisely ZERO benefit from using a USB-C connector for my monitor, I only get a large amount of pain.

So provide some evidence. I could easily say I worked for XYZ and say the same thing you have.

I worked for the White House as Press Secretary and got an email from Trump drunkenly claiming he ran someone over.

I worked as senior advisor to the Shadow Health Secretary in 2020 and helped leak internal communiques covering numerous malpractice suites.

Blah blah blah. It's all words until you show evidence. It's hypocritical to demand evidence from someone else without showing your own. If you don't have any to show, then that's your problem, not theirs.
Goodbye NATO
What happens when you adjust those figures for something like differences in private gun ownership rates between populations? It seems obvious that America has the most guns, and that having so many more guns than anybody else probably causes a dramatic increase in the number of justifiable homicides police are involved in.
Or try the BBC and History Channel documentaries. There's zero dispute about its Greek origin. It's painfully obvious, in fact.
Two points:

First, Federal law prohibits the use of an SSN as a "National ID number". This type of usage is explicitly forbidden. The fact everyone seems to ignore this notwithstanding, Federal systems have been specifically moving away from SSN's as a natural key specifically because of being prohibited, and because they are reused.

Second, a Corporation mechanical turking 1000's of people to datamine public records would not necessarily be easily caught by your system, especially since any body after collecting the data can disincorporate, and take the fruits of the operation with them to be reincorporated under another name; building larger and larger datasets each time.
It is good salt, and if memory serves the production method is patented. Even if the production were easy to reproduce, aside from boutique stuff, I typically only see Morton's and Diamond in the stores out here. Boycotting Cargill completely is a monumental task.
Actually, they do get to complain about the weight of cameras on board. Back in the 90’s, before there was a camera on every car, they put dummy cameras of the same size and weight on every car that didn’t have a real camera on it, so there was no weight or aero advantage either way.
> Good example of people being unwilling to consider the facts.

Exactly! It's clear that the CIA found the frozen corpse before the expedition and extracted the bacteria to put into the ticks in the first place. [edit]/s[/edit]

I do somewhat appreciate the explanation the person used as it showed conviction versus moving the goalposts when confronted with new evidence; something that most nutty conspiracy theorists seem to do.

You missed the word 'exactly'. Can you summarize her work so that it doesn't sound trivial or bogus?

Just looking at the titles I expect something similar in quality to articles debunked here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.09866
But if you were modifying a very dangerous disease to weaponize it and wanted to create a conspiracy that would make people look stupid and thus create a guilt by association for more reasonable conspiracies, then those same factors make it a good pick.

Apple's new "look around" street view competitor looks really impressive.

That's something that stood out immediately as it passed, their camera dome was actively spinning, at a pretty high RPM. Unsure if Google Maps cars are using similar technology, or if their imaging apparatus is still one pod with multiple cameras placed along laterally-I haven't seen one here recently.
My source is the same document that the other poster mentioned.

When did you leave? Because you know, people switch jobs, and her role at Google at the time of leaving was leading the Open Research Institute, which you might imagine has nothing to do with drive.

But no I'm not going to share confidential information just because you don't believe me.
You're right.

The line I'm trying to stride here is, on the one hand, avoiding what USB-C ended up being, but on the other hand not returning back to the days of feature phones, where you had as many physically and electrically distinct charger and data ports as there were phone models. There must be a sane state somewhere in the middle.

Awww, this makes me sad. I am a dog lover and I forget that some people are really not. I'm currently in a small office where the CEO brings his dog. It's an older, smaller (I think terrier) breed and he's the only one that does it currently.

But this dog is fantastic! I think I've heard him bark like 2x in the 3 years I've been there, he's quite laid-back and wanders around the office but is more likely to follow the CEO around and lay at his feet or he sleeps outside the conference room when the CEO is in meetings. He will come to the kitchen when people are in it, but he has been trained to stay out of it so he just sits at the door.

I love, love, love having him in the office and I think everyone else does too (but now I'm hoping there aren't people adversely affected that don't speak up). Even when the CEO is traveling, sometimes his wife will drop him off for the day because the dog is so chill and people like the interaction, will take him on walks around the business park, etc.

In my experience, the differentiator is the underlying emotion. Facts aren't as clear-cut as we like to think. You can't simply say you'll follow the facts; a certain amount of reasonableness is also required for combining those facts, which is a fuzzy and uncomfortable concept.

Conspiracy theories usually can't be disproven (almost nothing can, when you get down to it). They usually aren't completely fictional, lacking any shred of possible evidence. Their hallmark trait is the fact that they aren't driven by an even-handed search for truth, but by fear, anger, and paranoia. We like to think that truth-seeking is immune to these emotions, but it really isn't. Emotion keeps theories going even when they're wildly unreasonable, because they're still impossible to totally disprove.

What's the differences between a platform and a framework?
As expected, this is pretty misleading.

“The food company is using a patented technique to turn the white pulp that covers cocoa beans into a powder that naturally contains sugar.”

They’re not adding any processed sugar, so they can make the “no added sugar” claim. They’re still adding sugar via another method.
Greener -> more carbon sequestered -> better. It's not that simple in reality, but it's about on the level of an average person's knowledge about the topic.
also when you have performance issue in a db it's likely you'd get performance issue on any dB, at which point other solutions than a db migration can get more bang for buck - memcached sessions, solr searches, caching proxies, materialized pages etc.
I've always wondered, if the states were able to unite, why can't the European nations? And the EU was a small step towards that, and this would be another major leap. No idea if uniting is for the best or worse of everyone, but I like the thought process, and somehow it does feel like progress to me, at least in the abstract.

There’s an easy way for users to submit feedback/fixes to Apple maps, I used to do it all the time. The best (?) part is they’ll notify you on your device when the issue is fixed, typically in a day or two. Nowadays the only time I’ve submitted a fix is in a really small town no one goes to.
I'm really surprised Google Groups hasn't been killed or given a major makeover. It's just awful.
The mouse is designed to never need wires except for charging. The solution is to minimize charge time, not add more features to let you use it in a wired fashion; that's regressive.

It actually works really well. I still don't like the mouse because my hands are big and the ergonomics are absolutely terrible for me, but the charging design is well considered.
I don't immediately understand what this solves over say patreon, which has a lot lower fees (10% + 2.5% for CC fees... holy crap). Whats the value add here? And for publishing text? Is there DRM involved?

It feels like you're just charging for a paywall and a mailchimp list... maybe thats enough, but given the amount of failures in the space, it feels like just another to go on top of the pile. Maybe its the right mix, and they have some big plans?

One issue from the Terms - if you post something publicly, they can keep it published and licensed to them forever, even after you delete your account. I'd think for such a high price, and a high emphasis on content creator control, you'd not take away the legal rights to delete public posts.

Also pretty disappointed at the arbitration agreement and unilateral terms of use updates (they can update them at any time, and if you don't agree you will be kicked off the platform).

When speed cameras came about jurisdictions that wanted to use them simply changed their law to say that a photo/radar reading of the car speeding by the camera was prima facie evidence that the owner was responsible for the infraction.

Luckily it isn't in Tesla's interest to just hand this info over to the government en mass.

You're failing to consider the possibility that there is a public interest in maintaining privacy for 911 calls. It could be the case that people are more hesitant to call in something if they know the recording will become public. This could conceivably do more harm to the public at large than keeping the records private would.

I'm not sure you could do this in the website itself but this would be trivial using the YouTube APIs.
Definitely not the same technique, but at one point I watched a Mario Maker puzzle level someone had uploaded that used part of its own level code as a clue. The trick was that only two characters of the level code were used, which is hexadecimal, so there are 256 combinations of those two characters, allowing the level creator to brute force re-uploading the level until getting the desired combination.
Some key questions:

1. How extensively do those 5 people test the software? Do they test all features or just part of the software?

2. What is the background of those 5 people testing the software? Do they understand UX/good UI design and how well?

3. Are these 5 people just random users or professional test engineers?

4. How passionate are these 5 people about the product/service they are testing? How meaningful is it for them that the product actually works _really well_?

5. What is the quality level of feedback these 5 people can provide? Is it like "meh, this is ugly" or is it detailed, concrete and contains practical improvement ideas that can be easily implemented?

probably not, but they might change their point of view enough to influence elections, or personal/community behavior, or whatever else. while it might be inevitable there could be a huge difference in outcomes, e.g. btwn 2c and 5c or whatever your worst case is.

so, while i agree to some extent, the more people that mobilize and e.g. influence the next round of policies/politicians, perhaps suffering can be reduced, however slightly you think that is.
Identifying individuals via micro eye movements
The US company doesn't operate in the US, and the quote wasn't taken out of context. The context is that 10,000 was way over the 10 or so maximum number of actually valuable points of data.

The whole article is about how utterly useless the vast majority of "data" ends up being, and how they are not used internally to predict if the loan will be paid back.

So you are 100% in disagreement with this article, and forgive me if I trust a nationally published periodical such as Newsweek of a throwaway commenter on the Internet.

I’m saying a network namespace or equivalent should isolate the browser from being able to access external IPs or non-whitelisted IPs, if the browser can also access internal systems.

A separate browser instance should be used for accessing external links, preferably with JIT disabled, with a file system namespace or equivalent disabling access to much of the file system.

But okay, nothing is secure according to you.

Ask HN: Good Health Insurance in California?
Long story short, I've done COBRA for a few months, but now I'd need to switch to a long-term health insurance. I own a consultancy company and I plan to use it to "hire" me and provide me with health insurance.

Is there any good insurance that you recommend? I searched online for a while, contacted a few, and all I could find was scammy ones.

Thanks in advance for any help!
