It's not quite as simple as that. User boulos's comment below adds more to the estimate given and includes things that tech companies these days don't want to contend with / have flexibility towards.

In general, you're correct, but in colo-skills don't exist with AWS/GCP power users today. Management and skills of tech companies today don't even know where to start for hiring colo-skills. So it's all avoided w/the cloud tax.
How is cambridge a backup for somehody that thinks stanford or Berkeley are to prestigious?

I can't read the post that was removed because it's in Arabic, but is it possible that it just violates the community standards? E.g. you mention Hezbollah posts as being removed; according to some (the US govt being one) Hezbollah is a terrorist orgainization and per Facebook: "We also remove content that expresses support or praise for groups, leaders, or individuals involved in [terrorist] activities"

In any case, it seems like it's hard to form an opinion on it when we can't have a good idea how widespread it is, or what these messages are (other than the one you posted which I'm sure someone could translate). I would recommend getting a consensus (about what's going on) on another forum like Reddit, and then bring it to here for opinions.
It can be done, but NAT traversal is hard, and somewhat flaky since not every firewall implements NAT exactly the same. I think Skype did NAT traversal in the early days, and eventually gave up and switched to media proxying for these reasons.

Throw in dynamic IP addresses, and it doesn't make things any easier.

Nerds can just set up DDNS and a port forward. Grandma probably can't.
I'm looking for a replacement, too. Had Macbook Pro 2015 and 2018.

I plan to settle on Windows 10 Pro + Ubuntu WSL. I don't need top specs (i5 and 16GB RAM are enough for me), but build quality (touchpad, screen, robustness) and weight are most important.

Playing with Surface Pro 6 in shop I kinda like it, but I can't find XPS or X1 to lay my hands on.

How is the build quality between Surface Pro, XPS and X1? Which one has the best touchpad, screen?

The Mind-Bending World of Heuristic Emergence Might Mean We're Artificial
I feel so marginalized by the universe's expanse and society's domination of my individuality. I _want_ to be a good person. I just have never been told how. Can't help every bum, can't shut down every evil bloodsucker. Life feels so meaningless when the moles just keep popping up as you hit them. Aye, I upvote, wish I had the means to do more, it seems like my existence is split in two..startups having to do a lot with it.

How to help the world?

Step 1) Make lots of money
Step 2) Influence

It always feels like I'm trying to "scheme" morality, and it hasn't worked out so far, since I'm not rich enough to do shit, in terms of making real change.

This video about the toolbox fallacy is so apt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz4YqwH_6D0

I keep waiting for step 1 to complete so I can then "live life after life."

Despite how effective hormonal contraceptives are, women have to take them everyday - in case they have intercourse and are at risk of pregnancy not WHEN they have intercourse and are at risk of getting pregnant.

YourChoice Therapeutics is making a
non-hormonal vaginal lubricant that women could use just before having sex that's more effective than condoms. We hope this significantly decreases women's reliance on hormonal contraceptives.
I am seriously considering Purism Librem 13 (https://puri.sm/products/librem-13/) as a replacement for my MBP.
I haven't had any hands on experience with it though, so if anybody have tried it, I would love to hear about your experience.
I like the privacy first approach and I think it is becoming more and more essential to have this kind of alternative.
I think one (small) difference is they fixed the default keyboard shortcuts. Several small things like that and it makes a big difference.

> Because for-profit healthcare is immoral, wasteful, and inevitably results in scenarios like the above.

There's no such thing as a healthcare system where nobody profits in some way. Lots of people working in "non-profit" organizations are still lining their pockets.

> A Bismarck system (nonprofit govt sponsored insurance companies that all charge the same and are taken by all doctors) would be fine too, but that's not on the table in the US

You must be alluding to the German system. We actually have two-class healthcare: Private insurance for those who are self-employed or who earn well enough to afford it and public insurance for everyone else (15% of income).

Those with private insurance get preferred treatment at almost any level, because while price controls exist for both public and private treatment, the amount of money doctors get for public patients is a joke.

It doesn't stop there of course, salaries for all healthcare workers are extremely low, as is the budget for cleaning personnel. Pretty disgusting, but also dangerous. Our rates of MRSA are extremely high, for instance.

Lots of German healthcare workers are moving to Switzerland (private system, but compulsory), being replaced by Eastern-Europeans. That doesn't bother me per se, but if we didn't have that kind of cheap labor, the system would just collapse.

In effect, I can tell you how to get "affordable" healthcare, whether it is public or private: Just pay your healthcare workers dramatically less money. Instate price controls. You'll have a lot of frustrated workers in a system constantly working at the brink of collapse, but it does work.
The thing is Disney's content is special enough to merit being one of the two or three services everyone gets.

Same here. Loss of estradiol makes me feel like I'm falling off a cliff. There was a shortage of estradiol here in the UK lately (due to Brexit mostly) and I ran out for a few days and went into a panic. The last time I ran out previously was a bad time for me, but who can accurately say that the lack of estradiol was entirely to blame?

I'm an artist well as techie, and my artwork has completely changed since starting estradiol 4 years ago. I used to draw only in pen and ink, always architectural scenes, black and white, lots of straight lines. Now that doesn't interest me in the least, and its all watercolours, and curves, and trees, and people. I am fascinated by people.

I also really enjoy talking now, about anything to anyone. I never ever used to do this before.

I have been using a Rev1 Surface Laptop as a development machine for over a year - here are my notes after six months:

- https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2019/05/11/2030

Full disclosure: I work at Microsoft. I also still use Macs (and will keep using them regardless-for instance, I use a 5K iMac a lot of the time I work remotely) and have kept a Mac-centric blog for sixteen years, so I think I can be pretty straightforward and direct about this:

The Surface Laptop is at least as good as the MacBook (hardware-wise), and depending on what you do (for instance, if you can take advantage of WSL2 and the new Linux environment that comes with it), it may well be better. IMMV.

Hardware-wise, I cannot fault it except in the number of ports (new models changed that a bit). Having moved from a Lenovo X1 (which I hated) to it, and having avoided the hassles involved in the Surface Book (the hinge and detachable screen make for a wobbly, temperamental machine IMHO, and I’m not alone in thinking that), I’d say it is a great machine.

(I still carry around a Surface Pro 4 because it is only a slight bit smaller and lighter, but the Laptop has a nicer screen)
Don't forget that with Manifest v3 & DNS over https, Google paves the way to prevent any form of ad-blocking.
While I wouldn't say it's THAT significant, there is one other advantage to fixed-width fonts that I've experienced. Due to the fact that they align vertically, sometimes they expose mistakes if you're constructing data in a table-like fashion. Or when you have a bunch of copy/pasted lines that differ only in the parameter values. Like, "Hey wait a minute... this line is 1 char wider than the previous one. Oh, whoops, I fat-fingered something there".

I wish I had more specific examples and could quantify it better, but I know I've caught quite a few errors this way.
Opinions of Doron Zeilberger
If the law was human and obvious we wouldn't need lawyers in the first place. The system as it is is already complex enough that someone without a law degree would have great difficulty navigating it. Having uncredentialed judges won't make the laws simpler they'll just make an already dysfunctional system even worst.
To make it inexpensive you'd have to deregulate it a bit...

I'm a fan of people being allowed to sell medical services regardless of qualifications, BUT being required to explicitly state and advertise their (lack of) qualifications. Have more continuous rather than binary qualifications too.

That would drive prices down for the poorest, allowing them to purchase healthcare, while not really affecting the rest of us who can afford the inflated prices.

I translated a couple of them:

1. Hassan Nasrallah: "Saudi Arabia asked Israel to hit Lebanon in return for paying tens of billions of dollars. This is information, not analysis."

2. Imad Akl, Ayyash, Salah Shehadeh, Rantissi, teacher Ahmed Yassin, Said Siam, Nizar Rayan, Jaabari and many others were assassinated. Has the resistance set back? I swear that did only increase the determination of its sons, they are fighting for the sake of God and for the liberation of the land and save their honor, and it doesn’t harm them martyrdom of their leaders, rather tightens their resolve and makes them stronger and stronger .. This is a great project and resistance institutions no longer stand on people no matter how painful is their loss .. Congratulations to them what they wished and that they only had to die that way.
Nah, it’s getting just as complex as the old interface, there is nobody with the ability to say no, this is too much.

I’m a big fan of PowerShell, I have embedded it in two products. However it’s not a good justification for a poor user interface.
Does touch typing practice require actual words or just random letters? I think if you can be proficient at random notes you'll have an even easier time with actual music.

Firefox could make a long-need replacement for DNS, but they chose to spend all this effort on adding more ducktape to the current system, while also contributing to its centralization (more control to Cloduflare, yay).

Edit: I see my error. N is number of digits, not size of number. By our usual definition of n, table multiplication is log10(n)², which is much smaller.
False dichotomy. Minimal is not the opposite of creative. On the contrary, working within constraints, such as the principle of minimalism, is a hallmark of creativity.
Oh, Cambridge was not a backup option by any means. It is just that they didn't have the subject GRE constraint, which made it one step easier to apply.

As for applying without an undergrad, I was able to parlay my industry work as relevant, because I was applying to the systems group. I'd have had far less trouble if I had just stuck to systems. I would have had to brush up on algorithms and statistics and control systems, and I would have been set.

But noooo, that would have been too easy!!

I found my attention drifting to programming languages, and then I was on totally thin ice.
The same people--in spite of the 1st amendment--are trying (with some success!) to make it illegal for Americans to boycott or say anything critical of Israel.

If the Chinese or the Russians tried this, everyone would see it for what it is--foreign powers pulling our strings.

Since Israel is an ethno-religious state, their PR apparatus (with some success!) spins every single criticism as covert antisemitism.

This is exactly how the slow but steady attack on women's rights and the right to choose is under erosion by Christian funded groups. I learned to be critical of reports from reading articles posted on HN and the comments by HN readers who pointed out fallacies in sampling, random testing, and above all being critical of where the money is coming from. To me, this pings my radar as a suspect report.
water starts feeling warm enough to swim comfortably around 80F and probably hot over ~90 (I've heard skin temp quoted around 93F, so warmer than that probably would start feeling hot). So your hot bath might be 100F, give or take a few degrees. Definitely not even 110 - that would feel extreme; hot tubs are typically 100-102 degrees, and max out at 104.

In principle it's not a lot different than thinking about what would happen if you had a 100 degree fever vs 110 - 100 you'd feel only a little unwell, and 110... I'm not sure if that's even survivable for a few hours; usual concern is how your brain cells fair in such conditions. (Let's try not to find out through personal experience?).

Of course, none of these numbers really matter if you just measure the temperature of your water, to get an idea what it actually is. But the difference between <104 and >110 is a pretty big one, in terms of how it'll affect you.
I think you can specify 'checked' in C# which will result in an exception on overflow.

Generally folks using a hormonal pill (not talking about the Plan B pill) are doing so as an alternative to a condom, especially in long term committed relationships with honest partners where STDs are not a major factor.
For some reason, commercial EVs tend to have batteries that run in the 300-400ish volts range, whereas conversions tend to be more in the range of about 100 to 200 volts. Lower voltage means more amps which means thicker wires [1], which are kind of heavy and expensive but it's not generally a huge problem as far as I know.

You're only saying that because of the lack of wrapped errors. Once they add exception wrapping, you'll be able to essentially rethrow errors in Go. You'll have the same issue as every other language modern language instead of the current situation (which is a lack of error wrapping).

I've been using proportional fonts for coding for years. Nobody notices when looking at my screen or when doing a screen sharing session. The few times I talk about it everybody agrees that it's easier to read. I'm not surprised, because nobody formats books, magazines, newspapers, web sites with monospaced fonts. The only problem is that it's impossible to align code on successive lines to the right of an equal sign. Not a big deal. It's also pretty impossible to write ASCII diagrams in comments. AFAIK there is no editor that can help with that, unless one wants to code inside a word processor.

I'll try Input Sans.
Ask HN: First Engineer at Seed-Stage Startup – Salary, Stock Options Advice?

It's funny how people have different interpretation of general availability: "this product is in beta and ready for general use" :)

The example is not quite clear: is the stuff in ./src generated automatically? It doesn't look like it is, since the saasify.json does not contain all the options.

I would have expected something more declarative.

I am also unsure how is this related to OSS, except for using it as a marketing gimmick to draw "customers".
This is awesome, can you go a little bit deeper into how you organized your week? Topics you covered each day and how you devided the book to fit into a 1-week study?

Any reason this was flagged and suddenly removed from the front page? I think the topic being related to the impact of the social media moderation, has been brought a lot of times in HN and results in many interesting and thoughtful discussions.

> What are some of the corporate sustainability reporting standards?

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainability_reporting#Initi... :

>> Organizations can improve their sustainability performance by measuring (EthicalQuote (CEQ)), monitoring and reporting on it, helping them have a positive impact on society, the economy, and a sustainable future. The key drivers for the quality of sustainability reports are the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI),[3] (ACCA) award schemes or rankings. The GRI Sustainability Reporting Guidelines enable all organizations worldwide to assess their sustainability performance and disclose the results in a similar way to financial reporting.[4] The largest database of corporate sustainability reports can be found on the website of the United Nations Global Compact initiative.

The GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) Standards are now aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (#GlobalGoals).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Reporting_Initiative

>> In 2017, 63 percent of the largest 100 companies (N100), and 75 percent of the Global Fortune 250 (G250) reported applying the GRI reporting framework.[3]

You got hasbaraed, plain and simple.
I have MBP ‘18 and an Air ‘19 and I was surprised how much better the keyboard is. I didn’t buy it for that reason — I just like to have a second, more portable laptop for backup and convenience. It is much nicer to type on and feels more rugged.

I agree with the general consensus here however — Apple needs to get its shit together and stop pursuing meaningless marketing metrics and start making great computers again.

SWEs / tech people (myself included) probably overestimate their importance vis-a-vis Apple, but it would really only take one great alternative from Razer or Lenovo or a new company to cause a mass exodus. That will definitely not be good for Apple.

At this point I use Apple because they piss me off slightly less than the alternatives let me down aesthetically. It’s hubris for Apple to assume that will always be the case.
