The december 1938 cover had a puzzling detail - he had perspective issues and resorted to building a model, taking photos, and having the negatives developed... for a pentacle, not a terribly complicated shape.

That's certainly true for ARM devices taken as a whole, but I believe most ARM servers are SBBR and SBSA compliant, which means they do support ACPI.
That's certainly possible, anyone can walk into a Home Depot and buy a breaker box (which is certified) and install it themselves (well or badly), but realistically that doesn't seem to happen so often it's a serious problem, partly because we have home inspections to catch the unsafe botched attempts (when they try to sell their death-trap homes).
Tar and Permission Bits
To be fair it's a lot more complicated. One reason you don't hear much about what insurance apps really do is that they don't really know the what all that data can tell them. Another is that it would creep you out. Each use case has different sensitivity to false positives/negatives. But, in general, if they've got your accelerometer data and location, they, whoever "they" might be, know you pretty well.
TikTok may be leaking people's data from the US to China
This is slightly twisting what you actually get, though. You want the Director-level time (and that's what is advertised during the sales process), but realistically you get a team of largely inexperienced kids supported by the person you actually want, who gives you a few hours while billing for the whole team to meet their blended rate target. In a lot of cases it's become a bit of a weird situation where the strategic guidance is almost free if you sign up to pay for a team of 20-somethings to follow a playbook and make some decks.

Thats because there is 0 additional marginal cost for their salaried consultants' time, too. Like many in the workforce, they are a paid a salary, and it's the same amount whether working 40 hours or 80 hours.

Exactly this. This answer needs to be so much more popular. "What if the requirements change" is such a common and such a wrong question.

What is needed in the face of changing requirements is actually this: lean structure with few dependencies that can be adapted.

> Unwin described four “great patterns of human culture” and degrees of flourishing measured in terms of architecture, art, engineering, literature, agriculture, and so forth. ...

The article doesn't define the word "flourish," despite using it 11 times. Given the importance of this concept to the conclusions, it seems only fair to have some working definition, and ideally one that uses some objective, quantitative measure of "flourish" as applied to a culture.

That said, the original work was written at a time (1930s) at which non-western cultures were neither well understood nor respected. Without some quantitative grounding it's going to be hard to shake the notion that all the author is doing is re-iterating contemporary western values and ideals.

Oddly, the article doesn't mention anything about gender-specific expectations. The notion of pre-marital continence mainly applied to women, AFAICT. Men enjoyed much greater latitude and have for a very long time, despite what the church and morality observers may preach.

Edit: Why is this article flagged?

McKinsey has been generally in the news of late as Pete Buttigieg has gotten more traction in the polls because that's that he credits for much of his experience. Its probably not HN specific.

He could very easily take care of the Hunk of Burning Love problem now that he has privacy, but astonishes himself by electing not to. This may be perverse; he's not sure. The last month and a half of total celibacy, relieved only by nocturnal emissions at roughly two week intervals, has definitely got him in a mental space he has never been to before, or come near, or even heard about. When he was in jail he had to develop a fierce mental discipline in order not to be distracted by thoughts of sex. He got alarmingly good at it after a while. It's a highly unnatural approach to the mind/body problem, pretty much the antithesis of every sixties and seventies tinged philosophy that he ever imbibed from his Baby Boomer elders. It is the kind of thing he associates with scary hardasses: Spartans, Victorians, and mid twentieth century American military heroes. It has turned Randy into something of a hardass in his approach to hacking, and meanwhile, he suspects, it has got him into a much more intense and passionate head space than he's ever known when it comes to matters of the heart. He won't really know that until he comes face to face with Amy, which looks like it's going to be a while, since he's just been kicked out of the country where she lives and works. Just as an experiment, he decides he's going to keep his hands off of himself for now. If it makes him a little tense and volatile compared to his pathologically mellow West Coast self, then so be it. It's not like anyone ever died from being horny.
That's just great. They're creating this massive underclass of workers that won't be able to afford any of the services they provide. They'll be constantly monitored and any mistake will force them out of the entirely of Amazon's monopolized workforce.

Amazon is playing with fire here. Hopefully these new workers will be able to develop solidarity to resist these actions, because the upper middle class these products are marketed to sure aren't going to care about the implications of the surveillance as long as it means no one can lift their new laptop.
Two years later, the outsourced work is half-finished and what has been delivered is near-total garbage. All the best engineers have left the team and the business is scrambling to hire someone competent to cleanup the mess.

Yes OP did.
Or the company maintaining the grid will raise prices.

If you had to make the choice between "no electricity to power my fridge, my lights, my laptop" vs "pay double for the electricity", you'll pay double.

If people respond rationally, this would lead to re-designing the grid to be more decentralized and maintain the lower cost of energy we get from solar.

It's not just the debt.

Climate concern means that instead of the choice being between selling your oil for $1 today or hoping to get $2 tomorrow, now it's $1 today or get lynched for pumping oil out of the ground tomorrow.

Worse, the producers don't know when exactly tomorrow is. Probably it's before 2050, but maybe it's before 2040. If enough people get scared it could be sooner. This is one reason many in that industry actually supported global carbon taxes. Having your entire industry phased out smoothly is a nice predictable future. Sure, you'd rather continue to make money forever, but a smooth exit is the next best thing.

Some readers have probably had garden leave, an employer terminates you but pays you salary for a few months to stay home and not work - as an employee you can't tell any secrets or work for someone else. It's unsatisfying, but it's predictable, the mortgage gets paid. Much scarier to show up one morning and find oh, the company went bankrupt, you won't get this month's pay and the tax man hasn't received their cut for the last six months either. Same thing with a gradually increasing system-side carbon tax. Using oil becomes uneconomic, but gradually and predictably. The industry dies but the people running it come out OK. We've opted for a world where it may all go very wrong for them very quickly.
Couple? You mean 4?
> You probably couldn't though.

Well, you clearly can. Norway hasn't used gas. At home people have used mostly electric heaters and wood. They're now switching out oil burning furnaces and wood burning furnaces in many areas with heat pumps.

Sweden is burning trash for electricity and piping heat from those powerplants to nearby areas.

In most areas you'd need cheaper electricity, and heat pumps should be cheaper as well. But it's definitely possible.

Ask HN: JavaScript based editor with predefined grammar
Hi,

I am creating a Flash replacement - a web based animation editor. https://its-near.me/flash2/editor

The animation will be controlled by simple text like:

At time 0 cowboy walks to point A.

Then cowboy jumps.

Then cowboy walks to point C.

The grammar is predefined: [time] [object] [verb] [?subject]

Where time can be "At time XX" or "Then"

object can be any of the images in the animation

verb can be any of the movements that the image sprite supports eg: "walk", "run", "slide", "die"

and so on.

The editor should prompt the possible values that the user can enter. eg: in the beginning, the choices would be "At time" and "Then"

I have searched online and in particular github with no luck. Anyone here know of any?

Hopefully, I have explained clearly. If not, please ask for clarification.

Thanks.
If only more people understood that capitalism is a 10x greater force for the environment and society.. instead many push for greater regulations and taxes, further hindering progress and innovation. Our focus in politics should specifically be against the prevention of chrony capitalism somehow.
How are you able to look at how much data was transferred on Safari mobile? As far as I know you can't access dev tools on mobile. Did you just change the User Agent on your computer to simulate?
That's true. I found a lucrative opportunity recently and identified and removed the bottlenecks that were throttling my earnings through bad processes on the client's side. As a software and network engineer, I found much faster ways to get things done. I am working on an app to make it even faster.

That is what flat rates do - the side willing to work for a flat rate optimizes the processes to make that rate work for them.

Now everything gets resolved in one service call, but my effective hourly rate is high enough to work around every inefficiency. I have an incentive to find everything that is wrong with that location and fix it regardless of what the original service call description says. That is just a starting point as far as I am concerned.

If that company invested a small amount in producing technical training for field technicians and bolstering staffing at their inexpensive offshore call center, I would have had meaningful competition. I imagine if they hired consultants, they would see that as a report.

I hold unique institutional knowledge like undocumented direct phone numbers to relevant people at client organizations that I have a very big incentive not to share.
What does any of this have to do with whether or not AOSP is open source? The Play Store isn't even part of AOSP nor Lineage/Graphene, so the point of that tangent is even less clear.
It saddens me that modern languages have basically implemented their own "monadic" syntax for specific cases without implementing something more generic. Rust, Kotlin, and Swift have `?` for the Option/Error monad, Javascript, C#, Python, and Rust all have `await` for the Promise monad. Both of these things and way more are possible with `<-` in Haskell, and while `do` notation isn't perfect, I'd really like another language that tried to build on that instead of doing ad-hoc syntax for the common cases.

That doesn't really make sense. It really is a mostly mature product as the components like doors, windows, steering are mostly mature. Cars have been produced for a long time and this is just another marginal improvement on the same concept. Its a car and it gets you to your destination relatively comfortably. Not that much different than other cars.

I'm confused. Manipulating files and running programs is a given, isn't it? You mean ls/cp/mv/rm-style? And running programs is... type in the name of the program (if in $PATH) or its path (if not) and press enter. Why would anyone bother blogging about that?

Make your website a black hole to big tech
I worked a pizza (among others) job through high school and college.

I've been overworked at many professional technical jobs in different roles before.

I'm paid a great deal more now, and yet I was never more tired or worn out or found it hard to study than when I worked the ovens at the pizza place.

I often work with people who have never worked such jobs. They're upset that they're 'overworked' and spend their time in the fancy break room with all the perks. Many I suspect have no clue.
How do you propose you fix that and still keep shady refurbishers from selling stolen phones? Even if the refurbishing company is trustworthy what is to guarantee that all of the employees are and they don’t get kickbacks for mixing in stolen phones with the legitimate ones?

This isn’t far fetched. Many SIM swaps are done by employees of carriers taking bribes to help thieves perform SIM swaps. They aren’t all done by social engineering.

Now suppose none of that occurs and Apple unlocks phones. Now a phone that has user data on it that was formerly encrypted is available to a third party.

Yes Apple could perform a remote wipe, but again why would Apple want to get in the middle of that? What if someone was being malicious and copied someone’s serial number and asked Apple to do a remote wipe?

Long story short, if the phone wasn’t unlocked before it was given to the refurbisher, you have know way of knowing whether the phone was stolen.
Now they just need to study the drop's impact on battery lifetime.

The majority of people aren’t going to ask all their apps and services to stop tracking them. This is for the minority of users who might be being tracked by an abusive ex, or an employee at a big company who wants temporary privacy to do a job interview at another company without it getting flagged by HR. If the data is being collected, we have seen in the press that the odds are high that it is being monetized/sold.
> The day before Valentine’s Day, Korey decided she was going to stop the team from taking any more time off. In a series of Slack messages that began at 3AM, she said, “I know this group is hungry for career development opportunities, and in an effort to support you in developing your skills, I am going to help you learn the career skill of accountability. To hold you accountable...no more [paid time off] or [work from home] requests will be considered from the 6 of you...I hope everyone in this group appreciates the thoughtfulness I’ve put into creating this career development opportunity and that you’re all excited to operate consistently with our core values.” (The emphasis is Korey’s.)

> Four days later, when she noticed two managers still had time off on the calendar, she was livid. “If you all choose to utilize your empowerment to leave our customers hanging...you will have convinced me that this group does not embody Away’s core values,” she said. (Again, emphasis Korey’s.)

Textbook abusive manager behavior. Performance management is not about disciplining people and spinning it as a thoughtful career opportunity is the kind of thing that feels ludicrous from the outside, but it's crushing for junior employees who fear the career impact of losing their jobs

The bit about controlling communications and forbidding private discussions is another abusive behavior.

These types of abusive companies filter for vulnerable employees who don't know any better. If you've only worked at a company like this, it's typical to think that these toxic behaviors are normal. It's good to have articles like this framing the abusive behavior as not-normal.
> I dont go to Amazon to buy Kirland, anymore than I go to Best Buy to buy an Echo

I actually do go to Amazon to buy Kirkland. The nearest Costco is far enough away and not sufficiently cheaper than the Walmart supercenter a mile from my place to justify a Costco membership.

Best Buy is actually a good place to buy Amazon devices if you have a nearby Best Buy. They price match so the price is generally the same (and better if it happens to be a time when Best Buy is having a sale and Amazon is not), and you get the thing right away. Oh, and Best Buy takes Apple Pay and cash.
That's interesting. I wonder if the fact that Serbian is an Indo-European language and Hungarian is not has any influence? Not a linguist and not familiar with either language, so just a semi-random question.
Yes and no. One of the results of iPhone 4's "antennagate" is that Apple changed the way the phone signal is displayed. They changed the algorithm, and made the signal bars more prominent in low signal situations [1]

I'm not suggesting they will change its behavior, but it wouldn't be unprecedented if they did.
