The only next question would be what country are you in? I've never applied for a grant outside my own country (actually I lie, but not often), and while I have plans to export my skills overseas in future, for now if our countries don't match I should get back to my existing clients. There are also some major legal or pseudo-legal industry differences across jurisdictions for grant-writers, which could be a problem.

The wake word can, at least with Alexa, be changed remotely. There are limited options, at least today.

Also, the firmware on these devices is remotely updatable. Even when you can't today, you may be able to tomorrow.
I totally agree. CloudFront is maddeningly anemic, with hacks required to do the most basic things. Nginx/Varnish configuration is bad but CloudFront is worse. I wonder how much better competitors like Cloudflare and Fastly are.

The argument seems to be that the donor is not making any actual financial sacrifice, and therefore shouldn't enjoy any publicity or goodwill for their non-sacrifice.

There's also this cynical idea that these donations are made purely for PR purposes, not out of any desire to do good. But that's intangible and unquantifiable.
I mean even more than that I would love something like the 70s vw bugs -- simple to maintain and cheap to build, but the market for a back to basics small EV seems to be even more niche than Hummer H1s !

If you ask me, Bollinger is competing with Mercedes G wagons and Lamborghini LM002 in creating a status symbol, like the Tesla Roadster did -- at small volumes you have to pick an audience that will be happy to pay up.
Interesting! Would love to see it in action. Is there a demo of f it at a party?
Apple Warns on Coronavirus — it won’t meet revenue guidance
Hey guys, I have an idea/suggestion for you guys; you might already be doing this or it might just not be a worthwhile idea, but it sounds useful to me:

Your addon/extension should track the amount of time spent on each of these time-waster websites, and allow the use to render graphs showing how their usage over time has changes. Perhaps even allow them to set goals(e.g less than 30 mins a day max, and under 2.5 hrs per week max) and visually show how close they are to their goals via graphs and other visuals.

Not only would it show users how much your extension is helping them, it would also provide them motivation to use it more, not to mention giving you some nice looking visuals to use for marketing
Yeah, was the model trained using train/test splits? otherwise, the model likely has been severely overfit.

I wonder how this performance would have compared to a simple random forest or MLP model.
Would you mind linking the $300 monitor you're talking about?
Just because it works doesn't mean there isn't better things out there. Wouldn't change if the benefits are not greater, obviously, but I find it healthy to always reconsider past choices every now and then.
I recently wrote a detailed tutorial on dirt-cheap professional hosting with AWS. It may be useful to anyone that found this article informative.

https://jeffa.io/tutorials/inexpensive_aws_hosting.html
What? That was the exact opposite lesson from that debacle:

Instead of being wowed by shiny new technical solutions promising superiority being hawked by "the nerds", stick with tried and true methods, especially when it comes to critical ventures like an election. "Move fast and break things" is the absolute last thing anyone organizing an election should want.
This sort of tutorial is best not to follow exactly, but rather use it as a framework to, for example, implement a script you invent in a language you're learning. Oh, and it's a bunch of fun, really.
My approach has been to request ownership before agreeing to be on call.

If I'm going to be responsible for what I build at all times, then I'm going to be compensated for what it's earning at all times.

That means options, stock, or profit sharing (with a large preference for stock).

Otherwise I feel like this relationship is strictly abusive.

Alternatively, my contracting rate is 150 an hour. I'll agree to work up to 70 hours a week, but everything after 50 is compensated hourly. On call counts, regardless of whether I actually get pinged.
That'll cause problems in ~3e45 years.

If you need that much storage, I would posit that cloud storage is going to be a problem not due to cost but due to network performance. A bunch of cheap storage is great but if it takes you days to transfer data there it might be a dealbreaker.

Have you considered a few external hard drives? You can get a couple of terabytes for pretty cheap these days.
Show HN: Real-Time job opening notifications from remote-friendly companies
For sure. Unlike most developers these days (or so it seems), I've been at my company for nearly a decade. Started out as engineer 15 in a company that is now a couple thousand. I've seen services transfer teams, get forgotten about, be rewritten, and just about every permutation in between. The way we mitigate this is by tracking the service ownership by team and audit repos from time to time. Every running service is required to have a runbook/playbook that should be thorough enough that a new team member could fix something broken. The biggest problem I've seen is some teams being afraid of really digging into a legacy service if it is transferred to them.
There's the gtile gnome shell extension. I have shortcuts defined to snap windows to predetermined regions of the screen, which can be defined on an arbitrary grid.

That plus gnome's builtin shortcuts to move windows to different monitors and different desktops, and setting alt-tab to "switch windows directly" gives me pretty much everything I need.

Windows don't start tiled, but this doesn't feel like a big drawback. When matplotlib pops up five plot windows I'd rather they stay the aspect ratio they were intended, anyway. But I'll snap my text editors, terminals, and file browser windows to half/quarter of the screen.

It's pretty great, and I get to stay within GNOME which is the 'happy path' for linux desktop use IMHO.
Does it matter? To people at our distance from it the process is a magical one where a git repo becomes a website. What technology stack they use, on which services, etc, is an abstraction that isn't particularly relevant to us.
Because the government is doing a terrible job with the trillions it already spends? What difference would 10 billion make to the US government? Basically nothing.

I currently have my taxes done by an accounting firm in the UK and as part of their service they electronically forward across physical letters from the HMRC (tax department). Recently I have received an email containing a letter about my taxes being late, along with a similar letter addressed to another company with a few details such as the delay, interest, total amount and their corporate tax UTR.

My question is, what is the correct response? I have currently just informed my accounting firm about their mistake.

Ask HN: Can you help me with some career advice?
Here's my situation. I'm a young engineer(25) with 3 years of industry experience. From the very first few days in this company, my manager gave me 100% independence to do something interesting. 2 years ago the company decided to transition into a brand new building, and that event has just happened. So, 2 years ago, I got this amazing opportunity to work on the digital version of this building, to make it as smart as possible. I am the designer and the implementer of the core component of this project, pretty much an operating system for the building, implemented in Haskell. I gave my heart and soul into this project, because I don't think I'll get this kind of opportunity ever again. Besides this, they sponsored every single conference I wanted to go to, I've had time for about 3 per year. They bought every book I needed and allowed me to work from home whenever I wanted, or come to work whenever I wanted. In less than a month, the project is about to be live, and will do a lot of stuff to help the employees be more productive at work. So this is what kept me going, and I've been extremely happy in my work. However:

1. Even though the pay is about the industry average, I've had to turn down a lot of offers this year(even 2x to 2.5x salaries) because in my head, developing a smart building and developing a website is simply laughable to compare.

2. I'm pretty much the only one in this company(about 600 in this location alone) that has this kind of freedom. I'm lying, a few people have joined the project throughout the years to help me out.

3. There's no real ambition around me. Nobody wants to go beyond the accepted level of quality and deliver something amazing, a few details that would really delight the users. I really have to push to make these things happen.
Cont:

4. I'm not stagnating whatsoever, but it's getting harder and harder to ignore these issues. It's getting harder and harder to just think about my wellbeing and my project, and simply ignore the bigger picture. That is, the company tries to keep their employees at a certain average level. Don't get too good though, as they won't be able to pay you for that. So really good people just leave.

So, what would you do in my situation. I can tell you that i'm going to stay for a little longer to make sure that the project is rock solid and stable. But I feel like the really good engineers are somewhere else and the temptation of a higher pay is getting stronger. I really want to continue to work on this project, but how do I convince the manager(whose only real management was to give me a hard deadline) that I've done the equivalent work of a few people, and the current benefits are not enough.

Thank you.
So far as 538 can figure out, our democratically-elected government has spent less than $10 billion fighting climate change in the past 25 years put together.

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-much-is-the-governm...

So personally I'm not impressed with our government's ability to allocate funds towards useful causes.

If another billionaire spends their money on a cause I don't care about so much, fine, at least they didn't spend my money on it. And they'd go to prison if they did anything near so offensive as some of the things the government has been up to lately.
You're just supposed to be 100% positive, all of the time.
> In economics, a good is said to be rivalrous or a rival if its consumption by Satvik consumer prevents simultaneous consumption by other consumers, or if consumption by one party reduces the ability of another party to consume it.

You aren't the red queen and words don't mean what you want them to mean.

It makes property rights a reasonable answer to a question that had to be resolved one way or another because we can't all eat the same sandwich. Because we can all ready the same epub or build the same machine intellectual property rights are an answer to a much higher level question of how do we as a society achieve success.

Conflating this higher level abstract question with a low level physical question confuses the issue and makes it impossible to arrive at some potential solutions because of the baggage provided by the lower level question.

Because we already know we can't all eat the same sandwich we refuse to ask if the world is better off if we make information free of constraints. We act as if we were ripping a sandwich out of somebodies mouth instead of asking if that particular sandwich actually ought to exist in the first place.
The post you’re replying to already explained where the democratically elected government is choosing to spend the money. Billionaire seems to be making better decisions.

>What do you think actually makes the most difference:
a) Donating $10B b) Reducing his personal environmental impact to zero

How does that Gandhi quote go: Be the change you want to see in the World... or was it pay for the change you want to see in the World?

You think Gandhi would have effected the change he did by paying others to engage in acts of civil disobedience? Paid others to break imperial laws and get arrested? Paid others to engage in hunger strikes?

Gandhi was a western educated and trained lawyer, but he boycotted western clothing and adopted the dhoti...it is not just a symbol (or virtue signaling) but it was a necessary act. Whereas $10B from Bezos for Climate change appears to be just a symbol, because he continues to head a Company that facilitates unbridled consumerism and global consumption and he seems unwilling to make personal sacrifices to his lavish lifestyle.
Good point, although since those clicks are much more expensive to produce than using bots I imagine its use will be more limited.

That workaround is also problematic, because move constructors are supposed to be noexcept, but 'new' can throw std::bad_alloc. So you either have to lie to the compiler and tell it that your move constructor is noexcept (maybe reasonable in this case since a bad allocation will then call std::terminate), or else you have bad consequences like std::vector silently copying your object instead of moving it.
simplifying down complex issues to fit "the curves" narrative often misses a lot of really important nuance.

to wit, let's imagine there's an incumbent company that serves out the demand in an incredibly efficient but environmentally harmful manner. further suppose this is a large national player that's willing to eat some losses in order to crowd out the whole "efficient allocation of resources" type new businesses that may spring up and serve that demand in an environmentally friendly manner.

according to "the curves", there's no room to displace that incumbent because they're stuck in a local maximum when it comes exclusively to satisfying demand. but it's pretty clear that there are externalities that, when considered, make it an attractive target for change by different players.
I think ultimately this cynicism is born out of envy/jealousy for the good will that such a donation engenders.

As you've pointed out, any logical analysis would conclude that, even in the most extreme cases, there's still a sizable positive benefit to society.

People have a problem with "undeserved" good will as if good will is some scarce resource that's limited in supply. I think the reality is they're envious.
You gotta receive a ton of traffic for Nginx to stop serving static files. I'm pretty sure most of the static websites today could survive on a lite Nginx vps with minimal tuning.

One thing we need to stop completely is emissions trading and carbon offsetting. Carbon emissions have to be decreased drastically by most large corporations and offsetting and trading does not reduce emissions & allows corporations and governments to greenwash constantly. Here in New Zealand the governments is praised as being pro environment when it is all just greenwashing. They are portrayed as left leaning when they are neo-liberal aka climate change denying capatilists. They don't understand economic prosperity and environmental sustainability are mutually exclusive.
A counter is a saw a blog post by a CS professor picking apart of a single line implementation of the Sieve of Eratosthenes. She points out the first clue is that it's performance is bad, like really really bad. And then shows it's not actually implementing the Sieve of Eratosthenes.

Not trying to be a jerk, but I think you might need to re-read the article as the author is clearly a developer themselves and thinks that there are definitely 10x developers (just that they can't be found with a simple coding test).

And you don't think that people who view the police as "enemies" tend to be less honest...

Come on, this is very far from the only example of the extremely high social capital in Japan compared to the West, especially the US. It's just absurd to pretend that it is mainly due to the number of police boxes.

I am not sure if you are calculating this correctly but for me, 70 cent/TB/mo is not a realistic number.
Cheapest glacier storage for me, is, $0.004 per gb per mo, which makes a terabyte storage for $4/TB per mo.For me, this number is at Ohio or Oregon data centers. And their retrieval rates are super expensive, as in, $0.03 per gb.
Glacier might be cheap but it definitely is not the cheapest.

Google, VMware ‘Reorganize’ Cloud Business: Linode Warned About It
Yes, it would appear it is a common name in Russia. Though, in the late '70s (and perhaps even now), I believe Stalin's daughter was still the most famous person bearing the name. And me being ignorant of both this particular factory and its origins couldn't help but wonder (knowing the Soviet propensity for naming things in honor of the leaders - e.g. Stalingrad, Leningrad, etc.) if there happened to be any relation.
I haven't once heard 'First Nations People' used on the ground other than by visiting speakers (usually from overseas). Indigenous & Koorie are the most common terms used here (I live in the Northern Rivers - Bundjalung country).
I dislike when we have two standards of behavior. When someone is not destitute they are expected to conform to a multitude of societal norms, when they are poor every vice and misbehavior is excused.

I propose one standard of expectation and we make everyone follow it.
It is absolutely not a "mostly-US problem". We have the same problem in Australia. A lot of places only option was crappy ADSL. Then new (centre-left) government announced a project (NBN) to install fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) to the majority of the population. Massive, very expensive project, that was going to take a long time. Quite predictably, the centre-right party attacked it as costing too much money. Six years later, the centre-right win election, and thus far only a small number of lucky people had got their FTTP installed. New government decides FTTP was too expensive, replaces it with crappy fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) instead, which slows to a crawl whenever the node is oversubscribed (happens a lot due to the growing popularity of video streaming). And it tells other people that any fixed line solution was too expensive for them, and forces them on to wireless or satellite. Some people even got told they were losing their ADSL and having it replaced with a less reliable wireless or satellite connection.
I just took a peek in the code to make sure it didn't use the "keys" command. I see you give a warning for a list of dangerous commands. Good thinking!
