Part of being a democracy is that one person doesn’t hold absolute power to set tax rates or switch us over to “socialism.” Why do you think electing Bernie is suddenly going to get all the other congressional representatives to go along with completely changing the way government and economy work?
I suppose the judge will consider such factors as whether the drive is attached to your computer or shows signs of recent use. If your shell history shows you mounting the drive the day before arrest, that wouldn't play well.

Don't even need to do that. Just mmap it and the virtual memory system will handle it.
Yes, it's often the people in the big conference room that are actually much harder to hear, because you have many people trying to jam all of their audio and video through a single mic and camera. Each remote person has their own dedicated mic and camera, so you can see and hear all of the nuance when they speak. But it is not reciprocal -- in return, the remote people get to see a single grainy feed of the tops of their colleagues heads in the office, and variable/muffled audio because the mic can't be close to everyone at once.

We have been trying a different approach at work where everybody always just uses their own laptop camera and mic, whether they're in the office or remote. Sometimes it can seem a little silly talking into your laptop to the person sitting next to you also talking into their laptop. But the upside is everybody's dedicated audio and video is crystal clear; and when we share screens we can all see all of the detail up close rather than having to squint at a tv at the other end of a conference room.

Curious to know if anyone else has tried working this way? We've also been trying out https://team.video, which has some cool collaborative features that only really work if each person is joining from their own device.

"That means Ever Loved’s biggest competitors, beyond the standard just accepting the local mortuary’s prices, are Google and Amazon. Often they surface the same prices as Ever Loved with comparable shipping, though Google could sometimes find a slight discount by buying straight from the manufacturer, while Amazon was missing some top brands. Costco and Walmart sell funeral products too."

Mental Models are nothing more than useful hueristics to help you navigate and understand reality.

Whether a mental model ends up with a name on a list is largely down to it's utility in aiding that for a wide audience.

In my experience they have been extremely useful.
Today My Company Died
Hi,
I don't really have anyone else I can say this to so I'm telling HN via this throwaway.

Last night I made the decision and today I gave up on my bootstrapped SaaS that I've worked on almost every waking minute of my life for the last 4 years. Other than opportunity cost of lost wages, I've managed to come out only a few thousand dollars in debt.

It's hard to ascertain why I couldn't get traction as my audience and past customers are proving impossible to get feedback from (whether that be a call, email, whatever... unfortunately I live in BFN so can't chat to people in person).

I feel good, ironically. I'm pretty happy today and feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. It's also really nice to genuinely have fun with the kids without the stress of the hangman's noose ready to pull tight around my neck at any moment.

Anyway, that's it. Dead. Better it than me.

Happy to answer any questions or provide more detail.

Please just start syncing cookies and local storage (on a best effort, maybe opt-in basis) and I would probably worship Firefox. Also sync non-default containers

At this point Firefox needs to learn from Ballmer. This isn't the place to post because this one is good news but in general stop focusing on "cool stuff" and do what you do best:

1) Provide open alternarive in absence of such.

2) focus on your strengths. this is where the ballmer part comes in. Firefox is now mostly for power users. Grandmas use chrome now. But after edge nobody will use anything else. So how about empowering developers and power users to do cool stuff ? Perhaps (paid and verified?) native add-ons? Maybe only from trusted partners... Or maybe only if you sideload.
Eating hallucinogenic fish may cause all fish to appear as psychedelic fish.
They’re trying to cover their ass regarding the GDPR but actually these kinds of forced consent prompts aren’t compliant with the law and are thus utterly useless as they’d be exactly in the same position (regarding the law) if they didn’t have any prompt to begin with.
I can’t remember where I first read it, but a policy I liked was:

“if any meeting attendee is remote, the entire meeting much be remote”

which sounds similar to your solution.
It's not especially relevant to this link, but I think this conversation needs a voice in favor of these "hallucinogenic" fish. All fish are living beings who should not be subject to exploitation for your personal benefit.
Ouch, that "Subscribe today" banner should have its fonts either embedded on the page or rendered into paths. Without that, it looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/kxie7Cb

Your comment doesn't make any sense in the English language.

Nobody ordered a sensor system that was unreliable, so no idea what you're talking about.
From the linked Washington Post article:

China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency announced Thursday that national health authorities issued revised guidelines to consider “clinically diagnosed” coronavirus cases in the confirmed total. Chinese officials previously only counted cases confirmed by nucleic acid tests, which critics said were faulty and greatly underestimated the true magnitude of the epidemic.

and

World Health Organization expert Michael Ryan said in a news briefing that — in a good sign — the novel coronavirus’s behavior doesn’t seem to be as aggressive or accelerating outside of Hubei province.
Taking the fifth in a courtroom is rather different than not talking to police without a lawyer.
I had a phone interview with Impinj some time back. The interviewer was super unprofessional and blew the first (and second if I remember right) scheduled calls. When we finally talked he made some very inappropriate comments regarding my employment history. Would not recommend.
I wonder if a catheterized local delivery of anesthesia to the key thalamic or related structures would be sufficient to induce anesthesia. Maybe not worth the vascular risk for people but could spare anesthetic effects on the rest of the brain for things like animal studies in neurology.
I thought it made sense from the context -- the moderators on both platforms have that feeling.

I could say "I feel like I spent all day doing code reviews," meaning that I probably did other things too, but the volume of code reviews was draining, so the small amount of other things that I did were less noticable.

Using "feel like" in that context is accompanying the hyperbole that follows. The mods aren't literally fighting a torrent of spam/bad content, but there probably is a lot of it, so it "feels" more extreme
So... What would you call them instead?
I have to chime in, as far as open source projects go, the branding is fantastic and feels very refreshing.

Go the website and look at https://shiohara.org/. Top right, there are other projects and they have icons like Period Table of Elements symbols.

Example: https://github.com/openturing, https://viglet.com/turing

On all the projects, you can bounce straight to the release notes. Well organized, you can bounce straight into API docs. And a demo: https://demo.shiohara.org/welcome

Almost feels like Python projects that use Flask-style docs.

I could be reading this wrong, but it looks like Firefox Nightly will receive this capability in the next build, and Firefox stable will receive the upgrade in version 75: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1542784
Yeah, i have read it (is good!). But could be useful to de-compress it and see how is used "normally" then the step back, I think.
He is right - China is now growing as a super-power and only just beginning to flex their muscle in international affairs. For a proper judgement, you will need to wait a few decades to take a decision on whether they will apply the same principles they use in domestic affairs to international affairs.

Knowing that they treat their third-world neighbours in contempt and tend to regularly infringe on territorial sovereignty, I suspect that answer will be yes. Your media does not tend to cover such affairs.
I'm still skeptical. Is there any precedent for similar features that are used today? Closest I can think of is turning off JavaScript. Which this seems made to combat, honestly. And, honestly, I doubt that has penetration worth talking about.

And again, just don't put so many giant graphics on a page. Problem mostly solved. With less tech and likely faster results.
Surely that's because the gray wolf was all but extinct in the contiguous United States by the mid 1900s. As the "Wolf attack" Wikipedia article says, "wolf attacks are rare because wolves are often subsequently killed, or even extirpated in reaction by human beings." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_attack

AFAIU, fear of humans is both a learned and instinctual behavior of large predators. The latter can take thousands of years to develop, but the former requires active management, such as hunting and killing. To the extent that learned element isn't there and wolf populations continue to encroach on settlements, I would expect increased incidents.[1] And that seems to be reflected in the data.

Though, that's a pretty abstract argument. The risk still seems miniscule and inconsequential. OTOH, from a political perspective consequential is defined by public sentiment, not empirical data and calculated risk assessment.

[1] A quick Google search suggests that wolf hunting has been legal and practiced in Alaska since 1994. Though, maybe it's always been legal, even after wolves became protected in the lower United States. EDIT: It seems wolf hunting never ceased in Alaska (https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=intensivemanageme...), though by the 1980s even land hunting (as oppose to aerial) required permitting, which suggests people could freely shoot wolves before then, and presumably did when people felt insecure--see conclusion #5 at the very end of the page.
Now that this is in the spec we just need browsers to implement it and then I can make a "shaking your phone loads things faster" plugin. People will notice a slight difference just often enough where eager loading worked out better. They'll waggle their phones all the time. It's going to look hilarious.
Containment seems to be working pretty well, if you compare the dynamics of it in China (and on the quarantined cruise ship) to the dynamics of it everywhere else.

I want pages that can load in less space. When most of my Kindle books download faster than most web pages, there is a serious problem.
I mean, I thought (and still think) that Twitch was a terrible business idea - something I'm clearly very very wrong about. Equally, there are dozens of business ideas that I thought were fantastic, but are dead in the water.

Sometimes it's good to acknowledge that your foresight can be wrong. I think engineers in particular can be overly pessimistic.

Why not occasionally take a risk on someone else's gut feeling? You won't always win, but "losing" means enjoying a cushy, well-paid office job for 2-3 years before moving on the next thing. It's hardly the end of the earth.
I assume you mean precedent, and there is something of a precedent with the 1940 Summer Olympics.

One problem with MWC is that tons of exhibitors & speakers would be traveling there from Asia, including from China. Google and Apple's events can still go ahead with fewer visitors (or a different set of visitors), but MWC would have to adjust quite a lot about the event itself if companies from Asia don't send their people.
Could a Digital Dollar Compete on Privacy? Fed Chairman Powell Hints It Might
Thanks. I’m still wary of the bi-annual renewal requirement. If I register a name today, can I renew it one year later from today to stretch it to two years from then (which would be three years from now) or would I be able to renew it for two years only near the end of the two year period? In other words, can I perpetually have it renewed to approximately two years in the future at all times? If not, that brings the same risk I talked about in my comment above (where families may not have enough time to figure things out and handle it).
If there is only one of something then it makes no sense to say it is the best... that's one reason why monopolies lead to worsening quality.
It takes months to set that up, and crews would be coming from all over.
Sure, if the customer is okay with that.

I've had clients that would prefer to pay 3% to be able to use their credit card to pay an invoice, rather than go through a wire transfer process.

You can just add the fee onto the charge, and let the customer decide if the convenience of paying with a card is worth it.
The parts that stood out to me:

(my team and I are currently seeing each other in person two full days every two weeks and the rest is remote)

> 3. Not having to commute is a top benefit to remote workers

Makes sense. Financial, health, and psychological benefits.

> 4. Communication, collaboration, and loneliness continue to be top challenges for remote workers and remote organizations

100% agree. I typically have automatic transcriptions enabled (Google Meet) + a full resolution version of whatever document the person is talking presenting is editing.

As for the loneliness aspect, while I don’t feel like I socialize that much during work, I have enough energy to go out and socialize after. This is a byproduct of a lot of things and not purely remote/not remote.

> 5. The majority of organizations with remote workers don’t pay for monthly expenses associated with remote work

Not sure about this one. I think part of the incentive for a company to go remote is savings. On the other hand, a standing desk and a good chair do wonders. Perhaps the savings from rent are enough to cover all of this- I’m not sure. Travel and expenses should be 100% reimbursed, no question.
Wildcats certs are also better for simple privacy by not exposing the other alternative names. In addition, you can have only port 443 open.
Doesn't look hard to create - like the format. I did one for a silly fortune teller where I set up the random parts into individual arrays... This makes more sense,, a little bit more parsing code but easier to maintain.
If any one is interested, we bury our own in my family on our ancestral land. We use a plain wooden casket and dig the grave ourselves. If a backhoe from a friend is available it's a bonus.

I support the right to self bury, as most states have done for centuries.

There's a weird idea that government needs to get involved in this and protect funeral home gouging.

In any case total burial, funeral and wake cost can be around $800, if you want.
It's for reconciling customers' items such as point of sale, payroll, and other systems with bank transactions. Each client item has date, description, and amount. Each transaction similarly has date, description and amount. The goal is to match all items with corresponding bank transactions. However, it is more complicated because:
* bank dates and item dates may not be the same. A sale may take a few days to clear the bank.
* amounts may not be the same. A credit card sale may be for 100, but when it clears the bank, the CC provider has deducted fees, so it's 98.
* quantities may not be the same. Ten sales may be deposited as one deposit. In some cases, multiple items may match to multiple transactions.
* there are rules about which matches are best. A sale may match ten transactions, but it can be important to match the right one, typically the closest date.

As others have suggested, I can take shortcuts by ignoring some sets. But it is tricky and slow, especially for large sets.
I don’t think the problem here is centralisation or censorship. The problem is simply that people don’t like shit-letter popups and not all content has to be push-based.
Never know when someone may not be a native English speaker, thought that might have been possible to get stuck on haha.
As much as I personally like and respect Shane from Farnam Street, I don't like the current trend of mental model writing as much. I'm probably one of the more vocal critics, in fact (see: https://commoncog.com/blog/the-mental-model-fallacy/). The problem with mental models as a thing these days is that it conflates three different things:

1. Frameworks — 'mental model' is often used as a synonym for 'framework', which (as any competent practitioner knows) come with its own set of problems.

2. Thinking Tools — so, things like 'reasoning from first principles'.

3. Mental models, as defined by Piaget & Papert — the original definition of the term, as in 'tacit mental representations of expertise'.

Because mental model writing conflates the three, it can be very difficult to get anything useful out of it. Each of these three categories come with their own strengths and caveats. It is important to separate them.

That said, I think the fad has its benefits: it's led to a resurgence of systems thinking. Which is net good, I think.

A more nuanced, comprehensive summary of my criticisms may be found here: https://commoncog.com/blog/the-mental-model-faq/
Wow, those reviews... people really hate that phone. The battery is so tiny. But yeah, my filter excluded it because it's not updatable to Android 9 or higher.

I agree that's not an important filter per se, but it does filter out the stuff that's got sub-par hardware or tons of manufacturer installed apps or vendors that don't provide quick updates. At least somewhat. I'd be nervous getting that phone, though it looks really great other than the battery... and reviews...

I'll just wait until it exists again, it's inevitable. Until then, I hope my phone stays healthy.
I’ve been giving Firefox a chance over the past two weeks, but one thing that I haven’t figured out is how to open a new tab in the current container that I’m in via the keyboard. It’s driving me nuts that I have to use the mouse. Does anyone know what I’m missing in the settings?
All of the other solutions you mention is where engineering resources are actually going, save for maybe the seatbelt enhancements. Every new car effectively comes with pedestrian crash prevention[0]; also, Volvo had a car with a hood airbag in 2013, and it looks like other auto manufacturers are looking into it[1].

Self-driving is only as hyped as it is due to the futuristic lure of the idea.

What I heard, insurance coverage played the big role. Seems like, in US, insurance companies are able to find exclusions for this scenario on foreign land. This is the text shared by one:
"..Your travel & health insurance could contain exclusions to pandemics since the regional insurance industries can't measure the amount of risk. The insurer might defer to apply broader exclusions...."
This is the most dystopian thing I've read all week.

That's an explicitly political position.

No there's not. Web bloat is a problem, but it's not useful to compare media-rich audio-video capable applications with the lightly formatted, text-only, Kindle book format.
The research question they answer is: "How different is the image‐based representation of highly gender‐segregated professions (librarian, nurse, computer programmer, civil engineer) in the physical world compared to digital spaces."

Did you read the paper? They are reporting on how far the depictions are from reality. That means right now, the newspapers you read do not have an accurate depiction of reality.
Surely browsers could already do that without a lazy loading spec. I mean, I’m pretty sure browsers already queue requests so that if you load a page with 10,000 img tags it probably won’t do 10,000 simultaneous requests.
Self-driving? It's called a bus.

_FORTIFY_SOURCE is a rather weak but fast mitigation for a narrow class of security issues. AddressSanitizer is a bug finding tool (2x CPU overhead!), for a different and much wider class of issues.

The whole idea of charging for refunded transaction is scummy.

I have an old enough Stripe account from before they implemented this so I still enjoy free refunds but if I had to start today I’d definitely look around for another provider that doesn’t pull this kind of BS.
