There are not only cultural differences between East and West but also amongst Western countries. Even between countries that (used to) share a common language like the US and the UK.
That's kind of the whole idea, isn't it, if you want Americans to get those jobs.

For the typical country, it's fair. The typical country does not permit an American to easily go over there and take a job.
I like this alot. However, you should make sure it isn't visible through a window or it's basically an "all clear" indicator for burglars.
First of all, whether a "hardware database" is a better place for a device-specific option than a "config file" is just semantics; what actually matters is that supporting device-specific quirks should be straightforward for the end-user. As for user-facing options, if the maintainer thinks they are 'too expensive' to maintain in the code, that means the existing architecture of that code is misguided and should be refactored.
Question to web-devs: I am using firefox with ublock. Notion, like a few other pages, load only as blank for me.

The only thing I have disabled are cookies and connections to trackers or ads. But cookies are not necessary to load a page. And adblocking is standard.

Does anyone know the reason?
> Listeners won’t have to pay to access the episodes, but they will have to become Spotify users. Spotify said in a press release that Rogan retains creative control over his show. It didn’t disclose how much it spent on the deal. The company will also work with an ad agency to jointly sell ads against the program. Rogan said last year his show reached about 190 million downloads a month.

What an unfortunate ending to JRE for me. A show that used to be sponsored by flesh-light and filmed in Joe's living room is now a celebrity talk show hosted in a walled garden.

Huge props to Joe and Young Jamie for growing it into this behemoth but sucks to see them turn their back on free publishing/consuming model of podcasting.
Didn’t HTML5 remove the <center> tag? In that case, just seeing the HTML5 DOCTYPE should allow ignoring those elements (as in not styling them). For example, if I do:

<center>
Text
</center>

...just treat the tags as <doc> tags:

<div>
Text
</div>

I understand there are many websites following older standards, but I can wish (for HTML5 to have been “strict”)
There has a been a repeated pattern in Florida to hide and obfuscate data. The Governor's Office has been trying to paint a particular version of events since day one. Everything from putting pressure on the law firm representing the Miami Herald trying to get data, to preventing coroners in the state from publishing data. This is just one more item to add to the list.

Why not advertise based on what they consumed last week too? And once you start down that path it's like the Netflix recommendation problem. Also, at scale one Hope's they refine the algorithms based on actual CTR feedback.
When I was hiking in Western Australia I saw a beautiful Eucalyptus tree. But I didn't know whether it was Eucalyptus aquilina or Eucalyptus torquata.

So I went to torquatawhether.com to find out. Sadly, no one had registered that domain yet.

It’s not obvious from the demo on your site, will/can you return more than one image for a given phrase?

I bought a really simple (or possibly stupid?) domain that takes advantage of a particular TLD to make a common reactionary phrase, and it returns gifs that match that phrase.

I’d used the Giphy and Tenor APIs and I’d be interested in yours, but without Multiple results it’d defeat the purpose. Also I kind of assume your web site demo is limited to “safe” results, would you make “unsafe” results available via api?
Thanks. I'm going to give it a try. I currently use Trello to track my personal stuff. How does Notion compare?
> As someone who works in academia

I wouldn't blame or ride on academia. If you have no data worth exfiltration, experiments worth sabotaging or industry affiliations you might be right.
Notion employees are only allowed to access your workspace data with your written consent. We are also only allowed to do this in order to facilitate an improved user experience for you (e.g. debug problems you have asked support about, etc).

We are working on updating our T&C and Privacy Policy to make this more clear, but it is rigorously practiced internally already.

We do not yet have end-to-end encryption, or other encryption functionality that would make it technically impossible to access your data. We would love to do this at some point but it will be difficult because our permission model is quite complex!
It means you need an active attacker instead of a passive one, so it still does improve security in practice.

I always thought that PCI-DSS standards mandate that the CVV must never be stored; I get that card number and expiry date may be stored for customer convenience purposes, speeding checkout when returning for a second purchase, but how on earth could they be compliant if they are stashing away CVVs somewhere?
Just look at polling and you'll see why "just ask me" is not as simple as it seems.
I mean this is like the Rock Auto newsletter. It's unabashedly a bunch of sales spiel about their newest discounts, with one fun anecdotal story, a picture of a contestants car, and a pop quiz on obscure car knowledge. I love it!
Those however are a small portion of total comments.

Pretty much whenever you see a blog you can bet it's being monetized somehow or used for some financial gain.

When you see a comment, it's unlikely there is any motive behind it beyond expressing an idea.

Now imagine the world where every comment is also some kind of ad or invitation to buy or subscribe to something. Hell.
Well, I did some algorithmic trading (not really HFT but still monitoring the market and responding within 5 microseconds of incoming messages).

I would not use Common Lisp on the critical path because I would end up basically rewriting everything to ensure I have control over what is happening so that some kind of lazy logic does not suddenly interrupt the flow to do some lazy thing.

A large part of the application was basically about controlling the memory layout, cache usage, messaging between different cores, ensuring branch predictor is happy, etc which would be really awkward in Common Lisp (technically possible, practically you would have to redo almost everything). We have also experimented with Java with the end result being that the code looked like C but was much more awkward.

I have, however, successfully used Common Lisp to build the higher layer of the application that was orchestrating a bunch of compiled C code and also did things like optimizing and compiling decision trees to machine code or giving us REPL to interact with the application during trading session.
Seems like the opposite of a distributor (hence the term aggregator), taking products from a few suppliers and dumping into the Walmart machine. I don't think they are involved with getting the product delivered or logistics, purely about contracts, relationships and market knowledge. I think they do carry some risk on demand forecasting.
Maybe its just me but I have noticed a sharp rise in anti-china rhetoric here. For example there is a dead comment below which cites America is not a totalitarian regime that hurts its citizens, which is not true because you have Native Americans and racism in America which affects plenty of minorities.

As a programmer one of our tasks is to build abstractions and simplifications. To me it looks like facebook has a near monopoly on a social network that collects and sells data and China has one big social network, that has everyone on it. From a strictly interface perspective both are the same. Both have backdoors.

What I find troubling is that people seem to accept Facebook as a hero when you could as well make the case the china is more heroic for its people. It was china the pulled a majority of people out of poverty not U.S.A which has a lot of homeless people.

Capitalism with monopolies that sleep with the government is not that different from chinese style capitalism, which on paper has to serve the people.

The biggest problem with capitalism is the "legal person" definition and limited liability exception. Offshoring is also a shit idea clearly.

Talking about china is relevant for hackers because probably china might be more sincere about open source than microsoft with its profit motive. Anti-china rhetoric will just ruin such discussions rather than allow people to get balanced perspectives.
I don't trust Facebook, but I use it. I don't spend money on Facebook. I don't intend to have a financial relationship with Facebook. There certainly are some benefits of using Facebook for certain purposes.
For what it is worth, it is my opinion that Facebook (that I dislike more than Google) serves me much more relevant ads.

I've even bought a few things I found through Facebook or Instagram ads, things that I wasn't aware of and that I enjoy, timeular and old school safety razors for example, proving that advertising can be a win-win game.

It is frustrating when people say this. We are super transparent and give way more control than other apps. And no, we don't sell your data to insurance companies (we do do sell data for things like real time speed monitoring for traffic companies and people movement like the COVID dashboards many people have seen).

I have never searched for these things :)

If I click the button to explain the ad, it tells me it's because of my age (I'm a young man) and time of day (I watch videos in the late evening.)

Which is certainly a profile that makes sense, in broad strokes. But no, these are not my interests.

When Debate Is Futile: Bertrand Russell’s Response to Fascist Provocation (2016)
If you want to see more high quality blog posts, then I highly recommend taking actions to help promote and encourage them. Sign up for a mailing list or subscribe to an RSS feed when you find a blog that consistently produces quality material. Post new or old content on Hacker News, Reddit, Lobsters, Twitter, and other communities where you think they would be a good fit. Upvote and retweet quality content that you run across, and flag stuff that's blatantly marketing spam. Leave comments on the blog or reach out to the author over email. Even as a single individual, these sort of actions have a much bigger impact than you might expect.

I used to blog extensively, and I've spent a lot of time thinking about this. The content I would write was loosely for marketing purposes, but I put a lot of effort into generating high quality content that I would genuinely enjoy reading myself. An article that I spent 50+ hours on and felt very proud of might have a 30% chance of reaching the front page of Hacker News. A fluffy post with a decent title that I spent only an hour or two on would still have a 10-15% chance of front paging. The way the math works out, it's simply much lower ROI to generate quality content. It's also a bit heartbreaking to invest a lot of time making something for other people to enjoy only for nobody to ever see it.

The second chance queue on Hacker News is a major step in the right direction, and I'm grateful for all the times where my posts were given another chance. A lot of great content still slips through the cracks however, and relatively small actions by community members would go a long way towards helping incentives align towards generating quality content.
I've been using VLC for many years. I've donated several times and am very appreciative of VLC's existence. Thank you for doing what you do!
I really sick of such kind of benchmarks. I never have seen a real world python program that doesn't depend on any IO or doesn't have some C code behind wrapped calls. If your code is heavy with computations there are numpy/scipy libs that are very good at this. These optimizations bring < 10% of speed to real project/programm, but will require a lot of developers time to support it. If performance is the key feature and very critical, then likely python is not the right choice, because python is more about flexibility, ability to maintain and write solid, easy to read code.
Fluid Datastructures – Meta Puzzle
It's the logistics network. Being able to just ship your product to an Amazon warehouse and then have them handle the rest on the cheap pretty much guarantees that using Amazon will come out cheaper.

Combine that with Amazon handling the bulk of customer support, returns, and payments and you end up making more money on Amazon than anywhere else.

I've actually tried to get a company to price match their own store on Amazon and they told me to just order it on Amazon because it was better for them.
5 Tips for New Developers
There needs to be some level of conformity between instances, they stop being a heard and more of a zoo if the skew is too large. The workloads running on the instances shouldn't be able to tell which instance type they are running on, or your workloads should be written such that it doesn't matter (but at some point it will). Things that grow and move together, wear together, so you will end up with a system that is designed against the empirical contract, not the stated one.
Can someone summarize exactly what manipulation she refused?
If you want flags, gcc has -Wall -Wextra -Werror which seems like it would have caught this bug. (Of course, if you weren't using -Wall -Wextra from the beginning you'll have a lot of catching up to do before you can build with -Werror.)
I wonder if GDPR played a role as well.
I understand what you mean, time to market, pressure, deadline, and so on...

But see where it got them?

Argent: Bringing Decentralized Finance to the World
Get out of the software development blogging bubble. Spend 3 minutes looking at each of the following: Look at woodworking blogs, recipe blogs, gardening blogs.

One thing you'll note is that those are all filled with a shit fuck ton of ads and are completely unusable.

I know this because my wife wades through that stuff and the only way she can is by using a blocker. I don't use a blocker because very few of the software specific websites I visit have ads (generally).

Recipe blogs are the worst - here's a sample from pinch of yum:

This is the most HN comment ever.
Microsoft - support every API we ever had.
Apple - deprecate old and focus attention on new.

I beleive in latter. Are you?
Over the years there is something I've realized about the mainstream user. They do not want the best. They want convenient and 'good enough' and compliant.

All of Microsoft tools work fine, sync really well with each other and integrate natively with existing workflows.

Power users even among devs are a rare breed.
> It's not opt-in, so quite likely a breach of GDPR.

This doesn't make any sense. You don't think that every single installation via the iPhone or Android App Store isn't logged and telemetrized?
We've been working on Portabella (https://portabella.io) for the last four weeks in an effort to bring end-to-end encryption to everyday tasks. Currently we support basic kanban boards and lists. Like other comments have highlighted there is no reason for data not to be encrypted in this day and age.

Currently everything happens client side, however we believe homomorphic encryption is at a level of sophistication that should support most users and their needs.
we live in a world with lots of rules. some of them are dumb, but carry serious consequences if you're caught. the message is, if you're gonna break the rules, you need to at least get away with it. it's (usually) better to get caught by your parents the first time, rather than an institution like school that isn't as invested in the outcome for you as an individual.

not quite the same, but this reminds me of a conversation I recently had with my parents. they were fairly strict when I was a kid, and I was asking them as an adult why they were like that. they told me that they expected me to break the rules and considered it a healthy part of growing up. they set the rules conservatively so I wouldn't need to do anything terribly unsafe just to rebel.
I used fieldbook prior to Airtable, but unfortunately they closed down and I am still sad about it. They had a better pricing model (well, for me, obviously not for them since they couldn't sustain a business), and a magical search function that would find different bits of your search string in different fields. I have one client I use airtable with, but their pricing makes almost everything else not feasible for me.

The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast Is Moving to Spotify
Very cool but a far cry from an actually usable open source hardware receiver. Implementing the RF front end is not at all trivial and highly dependent on the manufacturing process, which is probably why they didn't release one. There's also the issue of fabs all requiring NDA's for their PDK's (process development kit), and transistor-level netlists would probably leak some of that information. It would be great to see an open PDK at something like a 65nm or 40nm node which would really allow for open source hardware design.
Facebook and Instagram roll out Shops, turning business profiles into
That's true. Amazon unfortunately has gained way too much market share for someone to forego being a seller on there.
Yeah this is part of what makes HN what it is. I'm not sure it could be any other way if its a community comprised of people building product for a living, who see the world as a mutable, and whose products tend to mostly be rehashes of prior products (not throwing shade, most products are just new takes on the same couple dozen ideas from 30 years ago).

Most negative comments aren't mean-spirited, but they can verge on nitpicky. The worst type of comments are not those talking about product shortcomings, but are ones that veer way off topic into a commenter's pet point and kind of tank the whole discussion. Similarly, if everyone's just praising a product its not particularly constructive or helpful, except to know the product is going in the right direction. Good critique is super valuable.
the Netflix recommendation problem

Maybe you're thinking of how it is now, but when Netflix had its sophisticated Cinematch, its recommendations were much, much better.
> There's a reason you can sell a Reddit account with a ton of karma and activity for a decent buck.

What does "a decent buck" amount to, these days? How much does it take to get people to sell their reputation to an unethical marketing firm?
Slightly off topic, but has anyone seen Amazon's new anti-hero series, "The Boys"? Talk about taking the Batman vs Superman theme exponential. Wow!
I would absolutely argue that it's immoral to have more money than 500 times the median individual income. That means anyone with individual wealth (after liquidating everything to cash) of more than about $33M is a selfish, exploitative asshole. That's not illegal, of course, but I can still think ill of their avarice.

500 times median individual income allows you to pay your fiduciary manager 2.5x median while you earn 12.5x median for doing nothing at all, forever. That is without a doubt a permanent luxury lifestyle, firmly wedged in the upper class, with a dependent business that is infinitely sustainable with a single client. But it isn't so much that one couldn't spend it all on luxury consumer goods, with a bit of effort. It's enough for up to ten full-time personal servants, while eating filet and lobster every night. Six security guards, at two per 8-hr shift, one personal chef, one executive assistant, one driver, and one house-cleaner. Seems like plenty to me, but as a filthy prole, what do I know?

Spending the money back into the economy is the saving grace of the wealthy. Letting the money go, so that it can be someone else's to spend for a little while, is why it is okay for the rich to have lots of money (but not "too much"). They keep the yacht builders and golf course architects in business.

When someone has "too much" money, they can't spend it fast enough to avoid creating a wealth singularity. They mostly invest it and lend it, weakly throwing it out in a long elliptical orbit, but that money accumulates more money on its journey through apolucre and then collides back at perilucre. Only spending it can send it out beyond the event horizon, and permanently lessen the mass of the hoard, and possibly keep someone else's star from evaporating too small to sustain its energy reactions.

A billionaire can pay their fiduciary management company $5M per year, taking $25M per year in investment income (adjusted for inflation, forever). They can fund a personal servant army/entourage of 350 people, with an average annual salary of $70k, still leaving $500k to spend on their own. The Queen of all the Commonwealth nations has about 1000 servants in the UK, distributed over several palace properties. You literally have to be a national institution to have that many employees.
I don't get it. If you buy something from Facebook Shop does Facebook take a fee or Shopify for example. I'm guessing Facebook is trying to get rid off websites and essentially Google and hoping all discovery happens on Facebook and Instagram.

I'm wondering how Facebook Shops is going to impact Shopify,Amazon and Google Shopping in the long term.
I still enjoy reading HN because every once in a while something good comes up. But you're right, most of the time this site is overrun by a lot of SEO types and folks who want a quick buck.

In my opinion, most people see a posting and go directly to the comments to see _what I should feel about this_
That's a very blurry distinction, and I'm not very interested in it. I was correcting the OP's first two paragraphs, I didn't take a stance on the third.
