> Get insurance, do the basic stuff you can to avoid having valuables in your car or advertising yourself as a mark...

Is obviously good advice, but

> Does anyone really think they're going to save themselves from thieves by turning off bluetooth? I hope nobody is that naive.

Do I think turning off Bluetooth will reduce the chance of a thief using a Bluetooth scanner to find something in my car? Why, yes. Yes, I do.

Obviously, the best answer is "don't leave your laptop and other valuable electronics in your car," but if that's not practical -- for instance, if you're traveling with both a work laptop and a personal one and can't realistically bring both of them into a restaurant with you -- then c'mon, take a couple seconds to turn off Bluetooth.
Can you tell us how much effort it was to build this? Either in hours or dollars?

You're thinking of a union. There should be a software developers' union.

I worked with a company that worked with Away, Steph in particular, and her abrasive style bled through to our entire company. Without diving into specifics, she wasn't able to manage her own expectations on an important issue and threatened to write a bad review of us. She was known by our whole company as being someone who messed up on her end and rather than take blame internally she blamed it on us. I get that founders are under a lot of pressure, but she was hard up to repeat the success she saw at Warby Parker and it was evident she was willing to be a crummy person to work with if it looked like things were not headed in that direction regardless of who was at fault.
It's current manifestation is very much a 'good enough' solution. I just wanted a scheme for simple all-to-all connectivity to map the serial ports to, and the only traffic it carries at the moment is either terminal traffic or disk data from the SD card, so it's not even close to being taxed. The obvious improvements are to add deep buffers to hide the latency of credit return, crank up the clock and to make the bus wider. This board could probably handle a 200-bit wide bus at 100 MHz+ speeds with no problems. Computer architecture is a fun hobby =)

It’s even worse with the sign in with your Apple ID toaster. There is no remind me later option that at least hides the toaster so you can continue with your work. You have to click view and enter into the modal.
I dont think people are leaving Canada because they have to pay higher taxes or because they hate the healthcare system.
We've discussed this. It was a bit lower risk to validate the hardware works with a new token than the additional complexity of Dai. A lot of other challenges there too but we're a small team.
I think the much bigger obstacle is that they don't have a car in the first place. That means no Uber, no Doordash, no cleaning (can't get to the customer, need to transport cleaning equipment).

Who is the audience for this product? The page is certainly not written for the general public. Heck, I'm a developer and I don't really understand how this works or why it's better than existing hard currency.

That said, I can respect that you are.
Unchecking "Check for updates" does not make this stop appearing every day if you aren't running Catalina because they conflate notifications for new major OS versions and for security updates.
Are you specifically referring to high performance in the context of servers or workstations? My impression has been that Apple is absolutely dominating in the low-power, mobile-first segment with fabrication processes more advanced than all their direct competitors.
Haha yeah I see what you mean. I was thinking more along the lines of never selling analytic data to third parties (something Facebook has capitalized on quite a bit). I think a lot of people see this as an invasion of privacy.
The headline is exaggerated. The things mentioned in that article are banned in some places, but not 'almost everywhere'. There are many, many rowhouses in US cities, as well as suburban condos that are built with the same design.
Also to not use the TIMESTMAP type in general, which is full of similar by-default footguns (off the top of my head: default 1-second precision, connection-local timezone autoconversion). At least for non-historic events.

Use uint64 as nanoseconds from epoch. Explicitly convert to/from UTC in your application code. Smear your leap seconds. This will last you until 2554, by which time I hope computers as we know are dead. Bonus: these make for decent strong-read-ordered internal UUIDs, given good retry logic.
Ask HN: Whatever Happened to EntropyKey?
They have/had a great architecture (transparently described) and a great product. It was:

thermal noise ->

hard-copy keyed encrypted channel over USB ->

ekeyd -> egd -> kernel

From there, the kernel always had lots of entropy for /dev/random, OpenSSL and OpenGPG.

Could they resurrect themselves with a groupbuy,
with preorders or a Kickstarter? Are there any trustworthy alternatives (not HaveGED or prngd)?

For a Senator (or any other public figure), the Constitution and First Amendment case law do that (and in a superset of the circumstances to which Section 230 applies) so much that Section 230 has negligible impact, and Warner isn't (unlike, say, Donald Trump) particularly litigious on the kinds of things people say about him whether or not 230 is applicable such that there would be a reason to think he'd be seeking every minute fraction of a legal advantage on that kind of issue.
Remarkably good. We were worried too but we hear almost nothing through the walls.
Maybe stealing cars is a bit of the stretch but if you create more opportunity for crime there will be more crime.

A better example is when the cops stick an under cover officer on the street corner as a hooker and of course she gets picked up because someone who would never pick up a hooker sees one that doesn't have a million hard miles on her and decides to give it a go.

I know my local police used to leave rolls of copper wire on job sites to bait people to steal them. Of course nobody with a brain would leave an unsecured roll of copper wire around like that so the opportunity for the crime doesn't normally ever exist except when the police are baiting.

Both those examples are baiting people who wouldn't otherwise consider the risk reward to be worth it to engage in crime.
I want to be notified of new security updates that need to be installed. The problem is that it's now appearing every day even if there aren't any.
What more do I want? How about not acting like there’s some kind of anti male conspiracy when literally the entire industry is over represented by males and males have reaped the biggest rewards from the system, and where any success by women is immediately tainted by hints of reverse discrimination? That’s what I want.
It's also a potential weapon. Imagine the havoc you can create by shutting down another nation's critical network infrastructure, especially one that is supposed to power the next generation of technology platforms and fleets of internet-connected devices.
Yes, it is a potential problem, but in most real world cases it's good enough and if you have a decent test coverage to begin with (which you should have :-)) you can run those tests when the container is minified and after to confirm that it's working as expected.
Yes, employees face a hardship if their employer fails. But the hardship is temporary and they are able to get a new job and replace their stream of income. The business owners, on the other hand, lose a stream of income that is fundamentally irreplaceable (since it was tied inextricably with the business). The owners are, thus, invested in a business in a way that employees are not. That doesn't mean I think that business owners are some oppressed class. I am merely pointing out why the owners have no obligation to share in the success of the company beyond the wages which are mutually agreed to.

Here's another way to put it: do you think employee pay should be reduced if a company in unprofitable?
If you take 2 trips a year, each time staying a week, that's going to cost you $1,500 a year.

> our financial advisor recommended $350k in case we wanted a private college

That's too much cash for an undergrad education, and the payback is often not there. Here are some other options:

* Canadian universities -- similar quality of education to most U.S. state universities at a significantly lower cost. Close to home (cheap airfares, or within driving distance for most U.S. states), culture is similar, education system is very similar to U.S.

* Continental European universities -- free or close to free in many countries, plus your kid gets to have a study abroad experience in Europe at no extra cost. Many colleges in Germany for instance have instruction in English nowadays so there's not even a need to learn a foreign language (well, one should but one doesn't have to). The downside is the style of education in Europe tends to be very hands-off and less pedagogical (sink-or-swim), so if your kid isn't that independent they're not likely to survive.

The only things to take care of:

* Make sure your kid does summer internships in the U.S. if they want to get hired in the U.S. Studying abroad means losing the U.S. network, but that is remedied by summer internships.

* FAFSA -- most Canadian schools as well as schools abroad are FAFSA eligible.

For me, a U.S. education is only worth it if you're going to a top U.S. school. Otherwise education abroad can be as good as (and in many cases, superior to) the average U.S. college.
I find this sort of practice absolutely bizarre.

A bit like flying a plane to your destination with a compass and stopwatch rather than simply looking out the window or at the GPS.

Migrations should be checked against the current production schema directly, not by retracing historical steps.

There are two states you care about: current production, and desired production.

There is one migration you care about: the one between production and desired.

Involving anything else is pointless complexity for no reason.

That depends on if you’re on the side of the capitalist or the side of labor. Capital holders would take that point of view but labor might say capital should make the work more reasonable and hire more labor to make up the difference.

Yes, the history of tying health insurance (and thus health care, in the US) to employment is an interesting series of political compromises and deals -- and it has such extensive effects on day labor and the gig economy and entrepreneurism. For folks who have health conditions (mental or physical) which mean they can work intermittently, the tie between employeeship and health care is really detrimental. For entrepreneurs, the tie between being and employee and having health care is detrimental. For public health, the tie is detrimental!

Rooming houses had a variety of functions. My grandfather lived in one while a young adult; he was also a butcher at the co-op grocery, and made sure to get his landlady good cuts of meat since he knew he'd benefit at meals ;) There is some interesting history, too, of how rooming houses run by Respectable Matrons facilitated the entry of young women into the labor force and the migration of labor from rural areas to the cities. Sylvia Plath might be the most famous recent writer about this... but see [1], [2].

Last, I'm very happy to see near me a lot of development with first-floor commercial and living above that. The most recent development near where I live has 5-6 floors, of which most are apartments, but street level has a pie shop, a restaurant, dry cleaner, etc etc. I am delighted! It increases our quality of life.

My personal sentiment is one of the most powerful use-cases for crypto is transmitting money to people across the globe within (minutes/hours). It seems this physical crypto lacks that feature.
I think the structure of school in general is pretty bad for mental health. I finished my CS BS degree earlier this year, and the quality of life improvement from not being in school anymore has been huge. Instead of constantly worrying about homework, not being able to predict my schedule (due to different homework assignments taking different amounts of time, etc.), and sacrificing sleep on a regular basis, I go to work for 8 hours and then then don't have to worry about it for the rest of the day. It's not a job I want to have forever, or one that I find particularly interesting, but it's still way better than being in school. I stopped taking antidepressants after relying on them to live for about six years, and I'm doing fine.

School sucks. I don't know what the solution to that is. Maybe there isn't one. But I didn't truly realize just how bad it was until I was done with it. I can only assume it's worse when you're in a graduate program, particularly in a field like philosophy where your post-graduation prospects are so low.
I would not impute this level of criminality to the whole of the USA.

That doesn’t make sense to me. Engineers have managed to cut down on useless meetings and focus on improving reliability of systems, and that is a bad thing? Come on. Engineering was always viewed as a cost center in most industries and nothing has changed that view. The only thing that has changed is that engineers have migrated to orgs where they are treated well, where they innovate and create the very No Code systems that you tout. Those systems weren’t created and are not kept operational by non engineers.
You can get within a few percentage points, yes

Why are you not a determinist when studying sociology? What gives you the idea that people are choosing things. Research related to neuroscience about how the brain effects people should be enough with the logic of understanding determinism. Also how can you make a choice that's truly your own without being effected by the system you're in. Nothing is different than your birth (we didn't have choice over) and people just like to assume what follows is different because of how society conditions us to assume it.
At this point in time the tool is mostly relying on dynamic analysis though there's a bit of static analysis too when you want to include extra artifacts. The dynamic analysis part is done using a couple of different monitors that look at what files are accessed in the container and what system calls are made. Yes, there's a potential risk that something is missing, but you can mitigate this risk in a number of ways. First, you can run your own container test to ensure better coverage. Second, you can include additional artifacts by explicitly telling docker-slim what you want to keep regardless of what it sees.
That works fine for daily trips. It fails for long trips (6+ hours).

Renting a car just for those trips simply costs too much, so your daily driver also needs to be able to perform that task.

For me, I'd need at least 200 miles of range in 10 minutes. Long trips already take too long, waiting longer than 10 minutes is a non-starter.

(And before you ask, I eat in the car. It's 10 minutes for bathroom, refuel, and back on the road.)

The only way I could buy an electric car is if I had two cars.
Michigan doesn't get that cold that often (maybe the UP does). Think Minnesota or Finland.

And the point isn't that it already covers 100 million, just that if there's a need (like there is for warming cold engine blocks in winter), it's neither particularly complicated nor expensive to provide this kind of overnight trickle charging.

> As soon as you get the hardware to handle TCP reassembly and just wake the kernel up once per few megabytes of data sent/received, things scale well again.

Not everything in this world is TCP. TFA mentions DNS, for instance (which as of this time is still mostly UDP based).

> There's work to do though - there are no systems around today that I'm aware of which can send data from SSD to a TCP socket (common use case for cache server) without the data itself going through the CPU (despite most chipsets allowing the network card to be sent data directly from a PCIE-connected SSD).

They certainly exist, they are just not available or known to the general public (hint: look for hyperscalers that manufacture custom network cards).
Disinformation isn't only about fact, but also about trust. The idea that"perception is reality" has been around a lot longer than tbe internet and social media.
I did the very first Startup School and the most recent Startup School.

When I did the first Startup School I made a number of mistakes. The most costly was that I didn't launch early enough. When I did eventually launch my product, I launched with too many features and I found it difficult to explain to my beta testers. It was "cool" but my users found that it changed their workflow too much and they didn't want to make the investment to see if it was worthwhile. I got disheartened and gave up.

The funny thing was that I was aware that what I was doing was considered "common startup pitfalls" even as I was making the mistakes. From talking to other founders, it seems that a lot of us only learn by making the mistake for ourselves.

At the most recent Startup School, I started again with a new idea. I was determined to build something that solved a specific problem that was easy-to-explain and I wanted to launch quickly. I'm still very early-on in the journey but I have customers, revenue and growth.

I would particularly recommend solo founders to give Startup School a go. As a solo founder, the weekly updates with peers really helped keep me honest with myself.

It would be nice to know the why's for each of these laws. I'm sure some seemed at the time, or maybe still do have legit reasons.

Houses, or rather apartments with a shared kitchen and maybe shared bathrooms are still a thing in Japan.

There are "share houses" of which maybe the most famous/notorious is Sakura House that has many locations and caters to visitors.

There's also https://www.social-apartment.com which is targeted more at locals. I've thought about joining one for the social aspect. I think there would be a market in other countries, especially if there was an activity director making sure events happened. I didn't know it would be illegal in the USA.

There are also high end apartments that have an activity "roof top". A friend lives in one. The rooftop has a restaurant, live entertainment, indoor and outdoor areas, a pool, and rooms you can reserve for private parties.

Tangentially, lots of old USA movies show characters living in boarding houses, having a room to themselves but sharing meals. Seems nice in the movies. No idea how it was in real life.
Most of my cohort are now data scientists or ML/AI engineers.

Honestly, the trend I seeing is that weaker students -ie can't find data science or consulting jobs- move on to post-docs.

Although, there are the dedicated few academics that also move on to post-docs as well.

Physics research always involves statistics, cough, 'machine learning' cough so that's how people are selling it these days.

10 minutes. That's the longest I'm willing to wait at stops. Maybe 15 minutes if I had to.

And stop no more often than every 3 hours.

So I'd need about 200 miles of range in 10 minutes of charging. Can they do that?
