Something is off. The matched colors show an RGB with each, but it's the same value when the color is obviously different.
I took a screenshot of it and pulled it up in an image editor to make sure.

e.g. https://www.matchmypaintcolor.com/ppg/medieval-forest
shows RGB 1,116,120 for all 3 swatches, but only the Maxi Teal is that RGB, the other tiles have other RGB values.
I think it has to do with the number of hospital beds per capita. South Korea has over 12 per 1000 but Italy only has 3.1. That is probably making a huge difference.

The US only has 2.8 per thousand which is horrifying, I hope the Italy situation doesn’t happen here.
In this study, you were ineligible if you made more than $35k/year (~$26k USD). Is that still considered universal?
This is also part of why I find B2C SaaS so aggravating. Sometimes it feels like there's not a more effective way to get in the way of my retirement plans. I mean, sure, in the prime of my career I like buying a new laptop every year or two, but there will come a time when I want to stop spending and just hold on to my assets until they break. You can't do that with yearly software licenses or subscription services.
there's a video of a woman Somewhere in Wales who made wooden structures to live in.

she lives alone, following sunlight rhythm.

a few comments on the video were 'i am jealous'.

modern life paradox.. to feel like owning nothing is a luxury
I believe they were referring to the Ligma meme, in humorous reference to the fact that Figma is only one letter different to Ligma. e.g.

A: "Did you hear about ligma?"

B: "No, what is ligma"

A: "Ligma balls, haha"

(Ligma being an alternative pronunciation of "lick my", similar to gunna / going to)
But software in highly-specialized industries (i.e. needs a lot of functionality but the install base just isn't that big) has always been really expensive. This is pretty much unrelated to the SaaS boom of the past 10-15 years.

I don't think specialized positions have skewed the change much towards increasing SaaS costs.
> I could never make a souffle without a recipe. Do you find this statement bizarre as well?

Of course. You most likely could, after making it dozens of time with a recipe.
Besides for the headline, there is no mention of this "rinse cycle" only happening if sleeping during night. People sleeping the entire day instead, also experience the "rinse cycle".
Maybe they have weird sex fetishes or are flat earthers etc. One has the right to be weird in certain contexts (swing clubs, flat earth rallies) and still have a public persona that’s professionally, politically etc valuable.
replit designer here - yes, totally agree. the current implementation definitely is not foolproof, but it's just the start. ideally it will handle more unstructured commands in the future!
This is the one thing that I find lacking in trunk-based development. I work on multiple products that have a release branch for each minor release, and it works incredibly well other than this as a minor pain point.

I find the easiest way is that if you know you want (or even think you might want) a particular fix in a patch version, you can make a branch from the oldest release branch you want to support. When you create a PR, you can easily target to the release branch (or another later release branch) or master, depending on what you want. You can even do multiple PRs to merge it multiple places.

No matter how you go about it, it should always be safe to merge a release branch back into master. In fact, this is a good thing to do after you release a patch version, but can also be done whenever you need a particular fix in newer (master, or other feature branch code) code immediately.

Merging release branches like this makes following a fix significantly easier than if you do it with cherry picking. Consider if you're looking at bug ticket, and trying to figure out what branches/releases it was fixed in. If the PR was merged to master, then later cherry picked to an older release, all you'll see is it was in master. Unless someone manually comments about it or your tooling picks it up based on references, the only other thing to do is check the code itself to see if the fix is there. When you instead merge forward, even if the ticket comments are wrong or not there, you can literally follow the branches from the PR/commits and see every release it got into.
So would they be less successful with UBI? This would save your acquaintance the effort of applying for a job, and instead they could either not work (Sure, fine I guess) or focus on something else full time instead of the cycle of unemployment. UBI might actually reduce their cost to society since stringent auditing / compliance / processing for unemployment would not be required. No more in-person filing and check-ins, etc.
I have the same problem. My current plan is to illuminate a patch from many angles to eliminate all the shadows. Add a reference white or gray card. Take a photo then in GIMP, adjust the white point, blur the stucco, read off
the RGB and look up the closest matching color code. I have yet to find a way to look up by RGB.

If it somehow works I’ll avoid having to paint the whole house.
"Puritanical" is definitely meant to imply unhealthy, which is why it's got such a negative connotation. I think even in your example, you substitute "wasted" productivity (in the sense of going beyond contractual obligations) with other productivity, albeit towards another direction. I think that's what the parent's post is pointing out: this obsession/compulsion with filling in all time with productivity. Why can't time just be "wasted"?
Really really hope people are paying attention to this.
Suspect we're just sleepwalking into a disaster.

A while back, I built a site around OpenMCU-ru (https://github.com/muggot/openmcu) but due to changes in html5 (keygen deprecation) it's pretty much broken my site.

But I did want to toss this out there as an alternative to jit.si as it is functional to h.264 and sip clients and with some other software fronting it (like Kamailio) could be made to do SRTP and WebRTC with a html5/js sip client.
Back when every person in the office required their own secretary to do the work that they now do with Saas, did you call secretaries rent-seekers?

Saas is productivity growth at work. Rent-seekers add no additional productivity to the economy, they diminish it. Saas is the opposite.

Are there individual examples where Saas companies might be providing negative value? Of course (I assume somebody will respond below with one such personal anecdote).

However, in aggregate, Saas is not rent-seeking.

The level of aggressive ignorance in HN comments can be quite shocking. There is no legal requirement to use any particular payroll system. The payroll rules are written by domain experts including lawyers and others, and encoded into rules engines.
I don’t even install any other terminal. I just update bash to latest and stick to stock terminal. I have come to believe that often tool overload adds to the clutter and complexity and problems that didn’t need solving in the first place.

Nice article. Having some years of experience in outdoor activities (first sailing, then many solo week-long hikes in the mountains, mostly french Alps but also once in a caribbean tropical rainforest) I got to learn some vital lessons and guess I could share some of it.

Obviously everyone has its own level of resilience in the face of harsh conditions but once you're in, you have to deal with what you have.
> “Clothing or equipment is the first line of defense, shelter is second and third is fire,”
Preparation is key, for hiking I try to minimize my backpack weight while keeping gear for all kind of weather. During one summer hike with nice weather forecast for the week, I indeed had hot and sunny days but also rain, wind, cold temperatures and even a sudden snowstorm.

- Staying dry really matters, once wet you get cold much faster.
- Sleep really matters. If you can't find a reasonable place or shelter to rest after an exhausting day, your ability to carry on the next day sharply decreases. Learned that on my caribbean trip where I got stuck above a waterfall one evening, was raining, got wet, cold, no place to lie down and rest and had to admit I wouldn't have the strength to climb back the next day.
- When stuck or in a tough spot, remember that under stress you might not think as straight as you could. Do an inventory of your equipment. My first sleepless night in the rain I used my emergency blanket: such a mild protection, took me a day to realize a had a bigger tarp that proved much more useful as a protection against the elements.
- A bright colored jacket helps rescue teams to locate you. (like a red / orange one)
- Have a map of the terrain, learn to orient / situate yourself. Being lost is not the same as facing a difficult position, better not combine those issues ;)
- Better have some way of communication and people aware of your whereabouts.
- When cold, cover your head, you lose up to half your heat there. Extremities (hands, feet) get cold first, waterproof gloves and shoes can really help.

Also, thanks to the stupid cult church being the hotbed of infection, the population graph of patients is skewed toward young people: ~30% of all known patients in South Korea are in their 20s, which would lower average mortality rate.
Good post, good insights. I faced the same when starting on nodejs stuff, things that were obvious to others were completely lost/hard to find for me.
Another great project in this space is Kui[1] - a framework for graphical terminals. It gives a hybrid command-line/UI development experience for cloud-native development.

interesting point. luckily we're testing it in a pretty sandboxed environment so it's not going to overtake replit all at once. I think the power will come from integrating CLUI seamlessly into the parts of GUIs people are really accustomed to. luckily all the questions you raise are totally testable and will be a part of our research process :)
I'm not familiar with the US system - does the term "welfare" refer to more than just monetary assistance?

I would assume social programs, mental health support, addictions support, job training etc. would still be around with a UBI.
Bicycling on sidewalks is not safe for walkers, in dense areas it’s not safe for the biker either due to cars coming out of driveways with blind spots, and in non dense areas there typically are no sidewalks.

Cyclists should use their best judgment as to whether the sidewalk or street would be safer in a given area but there are even areas in cities where it’s illegal to ride the bike on the sidewalk.
It isn't at all and it never was. The transactions being limited to 1MB every 10 minutes means that anyone that can watch a youtube video can run a node, or pay $5 per month. This is a solution in search of a problem.

Edit: Don't just downvote, tell me where I'm wrong. This same weird propaganda that running a node of 100KB/s worth of transactions is actually a problem has been going on for years.

Look at pictures the pipe has 43mm for diameter stamped on it. It' way too large even for a shotgun shell. This is the police just being idiots or saving face. This guy really needs a better lawyer. I am honestly amazed a judge would not even question it.

I bet it was just a container to keep stuff dry from the moisture in the dirt since it sounds like this guy hid stuff in the ground in caches.
This forces fonts to scale, but what about bitmaps? They will scale if the increased text size causes the widget to grow (and also affect parent widgets in this manner). But pure icons aren't scaled - indeed, on your screenshot, there are some icons that are noticeably smaller than they should be proportional to the text.
Immune system is amazing. It can actually detect different strains of the same virus, even if it has never seen that specific mutation.

I wasn't asserting the validity or the necessity of attorney's at that price. I was simply saying that there is a market rate at that point for attorneys.
Even for a typical office worker, based on my experience at a large company, there might be 10 to 20 enterprise apps that include:

* Tracking work hours
* Communicating within teams
* Entering and managing yearly performance reviews
* Managing IT tickets
* Catching spyware, phishing, etc.
* Key and click logging
* Personality and other screenings for job candidates
* Health insurance management
* Jira being used outside of software development
* Database for archiving HR announcements
* Password management for the above

In general, the prosperity of a business is a balance of assets and liabilities, and a software purchase is both, since it involves a cost. Managers promote purchases based on a variety of factors relative to the business and their own personal ambitions. There's no magic that makes managers so brilliant in the face of a salesman that they only make beneficial decisions, or that purchases are inherently beneficial, just because the product is software.
I am not. My cousin had to put her daughter in a nursery when she was 2 months old as she had to work and grandparents weren't available. I know it is hard, and most people can't stay home. I tell my son he was very lucky to grow up as he did. I know that, and I know a lot of people sacrifice as much as possible for their kids.

I was replying to gp about using never using nanny's services or how it is a waste of talent for parents to do so if they can have more 'important' things to work.
UBI would be funded by taxes, duh.

But the funding mechanism isn't at issue here. The point is that for every dollar earned the participants lost 50 cents due to a decrease in support from the basic income. That's a massive disincentive to work.
It wouldn't surprise me if that actually worked to some degree by negative air pressure alone
Oh, I guess I wasn’t looking for that on Hacker News…
Do you think that Google Apps is outsourcing? Your company's CRM? The Office licenses that (at least) your finance team depends on? The payments company allowing companies to accept transactions online?

"SaaS as outsourcing" is just obviously wrong, as well as "SaaS is rent-seeking" (which seems to entirely misunderstand what "rent-seeking" means).

I kind of feel like this could be a perfect opportunity to bring to light some of the weaknesses in the current SSL Cert infrastructure.

It sounds like what we need is for the browser to be capable of displaying a list of "favicons" (or something like this, perhaps a favicon encrypted by the domain's private key) from every domain in a domain's certificate chains. And for certificate authorities to allow domain owners to insert their other verified certs in these certificate chains that end up being used.

So, for example, let the owner of "DOMAIN1.COM" set up a certificate chain where DOMAIN1.COM is its own certificate authority who signs certs owned by DOMAIN1.COM. This way, when the browser sees the certificate chain it will proceed to verify the chain.

So now end users could easily see that DOMAIN2.COM is owned and "vouched for" by DOMAIN1.COM.

I don't think FB's claim SHOULD be valid, but given the current state of the art I think it IS valid.
In my experience, a midsize SUV doesn't really have any more space for child seats than a Prius does, though.
I’m arguing that they are creating an IP/patent war-chest and slowly but surely creating a fatal monopoly.

I’m saying corporations are abusing our common inheritance by plundering the commons and not contributing back to it.

“Information is power. But like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves. The world's entire scientific and cultural heritage, published over centuries in books and journals, is increasingly being digitized and locked up by a handful of private corporations. Want to read the papers featuring the most famous results of the sciences? You'll need to send enormous amounts to publishers like Reed Elsevier.

There are those struggling to change this. The Open Access Movement has fought valiantly to ensure that scientists do not sign their copyrights away but instead ensure their work is published on the Internet, under terms that allow anyone to access it. But even under the best scenarios, their work will only apply to things published in the future. Everything up until now will have been lost.

That is too high a price to pay. Forcing academics to pay money to read the work of their colleagues? Scanning entire libraries but only allowing the folks at Google to read them? Providing scientific articles to those at elite universities in the First World, but not to children in the Global South? It's outrageous and unacceptable. “

— Aaron Swartz

Big Pharma is standing on the shoulders of giants, but are biting the hand that fed them.

We have much shared wealth, but without open or public access, and cooperative business models that steward and keep a healthy commons alive, the trend towards extortion of the lower and middle classes of America by Corporations (through rent from IP) will keep increasing, as well as US brutality towards the Global South, in trying to upkeep the US-led Global North Imperial IP regime [1].

In that future, the class divide will keep growing and many more people will continue to suffer.

In the end, without sharing and socializing progress, we run the risk of the Precariat taking down the systems completely, and throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I believe our ideal future lies in something described as Protocol Cooperativism, using distributed technologies like Ceptr and Holochain.

I would also like to see an unenclosed p2p intellectual property system that honors authorship, yet allows access for all [1].

$5 a month can buy a VPS that runs a node with 1% of all of its resources.
Unknown at this time. It doesn't follow that a specific mutation would mean that your immune system would fail to recognize a different strain. Antibodies don't work like that - just look at how the smallpox vaccine was done through inoculation with cowpox, a completely different disease. Scientists would need to study a cohort of people with known immunity to one strain of COVID-19 and see if they can get it again with exposure to a different strain.

It's also unknown whether it's possible to develop immunity to COVID-19 at all, with reports of reinfection in both China and Japan.
Right? That's what's so incredibly baffling about this thing. The solution to the problem is right in front of everyone's eyes. And most Americans have no idea how to solve the problem. They keep complaining about it, but they never solve it. It's even a common sitcom trope, ffs.
I think the function should be something like "number of stable QBits which can demonstrably add to an implementation of Shors algorithm"

So it excludes DWave, and the unstable QBits, and focusses on a specific known problem which (I believe) gets closer to e.g. breaking useful real-world unknown value RSA, rather than simply being "how big it is"

As long as a graphics card is just painting pixels its mainly about entertainment. When somebody says "this graphics card can now exhaustively search 20 letter password strings against a known hash string and find your passphrase in under 30 seconds" then its a real issue.

It's funny how the same heuristics I have developed around the growth of artificial intelligence are useful here. Spotting long term indicators trending in a bad direction. Having the gumption to examine a repellent conclusion, even though my mind wants to shy away from it. Ignoring ridicule and trusting numbers over social cues.

Not that it's done me any good.

I mean, it's alleged they were a phishing operation...

And in terms of trademark law the owners are unlikely to be on stronger grounds if they're not a pure phishing operation as alleged, but have merely chosen to include Facebook's trademark in their website or email marketing name without Facebook's permission to increase the likelihood Facebook's customers will purchase services from them.

You don't have to imply you definitely are the owner of a trademark to fall foul of trademark law, you just have to be trying to profit from using the trademark without permission in their line of trade in a way you can't justify as 'fair use'. I think we can rule out the idea instagrambusinesshelp.com is commentary, comparison, parody or a list of third parties worked with.

Employees Working Remotely for the First Time? Here Are Tips from the Experts
Antarctic city is good. I like underwater cities personally.

A decent depth of water is very good protection against an awful lot of stuff, including almost anything Mars would be good for, and if you still love space, any technology we build to live deep in the ocean can probably be reused on Europa.

It's also, to bring it back to the 'iteration' discussion way way easier to iterate building underwater cities than building habitats on Mars.
I'd like to dig into this point for a moment. Why was it necessary to have a client/server architecture for a windowing system? Was it because X was developed before practical GUI alternatives were on the market? Did the computing power of institutional mainframes exceed that of the user-facing terminal systems (clients)? As time passed and "client-only" windowing systems came onto the scene, could the client/server design choice not have been revisited for greater efficiency?
I actually thought about buying one and I looked on the internet and was disappointed I couldn't find aftermarket shocks for recent models. My first car was a 92 Civic, and when I got Koni adjustable shocks for it, it totally transformed it. For all of Honda's engineering skills, the stock suspension tuning on their cars always seemed too jittery/bouncy. I drove a rental Chevy Sonic once, which I think many people would describe as a "shitbox" but the suspension tuning really stood out as significantly better than I'm used to from Hondas.

...actually Wikipedia says:
"For Chevrolet Sonic models built in the United States, the Sonic features suspension tuning by Corvette Racing engineer John Buttermore."
This is a masterful history and a reminder that what we have now is just a quasi-frozen snapshot of evolving solutions. Is there any chance that an alternative (URN? IPFS? Dat?) will gain traction and resolve some of the shortcomings of the URL?
