`pgx` would let you do that.

You could hook Postgres "emit_log_hook" and probably just use serde to xform the provided "ErrorData" pointer right to json and ship it off where ever you want.

Is part of the issue that there is just too much money has been printed and hoarded and its creating some weird effects?

The government has been printing money for a long time, to stimulate the economy, provide spending money, etc. Due to 80/20 rule, rich get richer effects, etc, a large portion of money the government prints ends up in the hands of a relatively small group who doesn't spend it but rather tries to invest it to get more money. Government prints money again trying to stimulate the economy and again most of it ends up in a few hands. At some point don't you have what we have today? A 1% that owns lots of wealth and doesn't know where to put it while the majority of the economy is still relatively broke? How does it play out? Do the 1% just buy all the assets at some point?

I am not trying to make a statement about inequality but rather curious about the result of printing money for 70 years and having that money end up with relatively few parties each round. Perhaps someone with more knowledge can speak to this.

Even if you do everything right all your traffic goes through VPN...

This create a case where the “bad thing” you do woth the PC, is also on the same address as all your “good things”.

Let’s say with Google, your thermostat, your Wi-Fi enabled coffee maker, your game console, your phone, every website you connect to with any other device that runs through that router/VPN - they all know your VPN IP at that time and your account info at that time.

Let’s say your WiFi refrigerator mfg sells IP and account detail information as a service to a data mining company - as I’m certain some do - in order to “get around” your home VPN, someone might need relatively cheap access to this data.

Putting everything on a VPN gives a lot of devices and accounts to tattle on you.

A VPN for the PC alone might be a decent idea if you are downloading things on the PC.
I don't think that's what dyslexia is. It's a flaw at a different level of perception, or else people with dyslexia (like myself) wouldn't have difficulty spelling or keeping left right straight. I can read fine, but spelling is hell.

I also think dyslexia is a much wider category with many different root cause than most people talk about. Kinda like how autism exists on a spectrum the same thing is true for dyslexia.
That's rad. What did you use to build it?

The thing it's missing, that was the big issue when I looked into relocating, is that my and my wife's jobs don't reimburse the same in Ca.

There is a huge amount of interest in learning how to become a sr. engineer. Go check out the work of swyx (also in this thread [1]). I believe he said he made $25k+ from his book.

He is inspiring, articulate, prolific, and all-around amazing. He just wrote a book on this exact topic. (No financial incentive, just a fan. He was recently on our podcast [2]).

What you'll notice about swyx is that he writes constantly about what he's learning. He takes tons of notes, and is able to digest them in a way that's easy for jr's to digest.

As far as cancellation being a 2020 thing, Orwell observed in 1948 that:

Your comment is the equivalent of a defendant in a criminal trial saying, "I'm not guilty," and then prosecutor saying, "Forgive me, but this sounds awfully like what the last guy said, and he murdered his wife!"

In other words, we have to actually look at the evidence.
> our heroes got to where they are by being unlikeable, not likable.

They really didn't though. At the most, their likability is insignificant. I'm reading the Walter Isaacson biography on Steve Jobs and I can tell you: Yes, he was annoying as fuck, but that's not the reason he was successful. If anything, it hindered him repeatedly. He got to where he is because he recognized the genius of Wozniak and knew to push in a way that Wozniak never would have (and not because he didn't possess the talent, but because Wozniak chose not to take leadership roles; it's something his father taught him and something he decided for himself).

>Specifically for people to drop Google and move to smaller search engines if Google no longer shows them the best content.

it's not that easy when Google has made an effort to push their browser aggressively, especially when they notice you on Google without a Chrome user agent. This has led them to have ~80% marketshare. Switching from the default search portal still doesn't free the user from being data-mined as users are generally logged into the browser. Separately, web visits hit Google DNS or SafeSearch APIs enabling them to continue build user-profiles.

All their free services are meant to drive stickyness. From Gmail to Youtube to Maps to Google Assistant, people like free things -- even if all their data is being mined -- and Google's single account ensures users are locked in and unable to escape from the bigG ecosystem.

Unless you go out of your way, I believe logging into a Google account on Chrome automatically logs you into the Browser too.

Depends on the bank but most in the US now have additional security mechanisms for non chip transactions. I ran into it when the chip on my card broke. The bank declines the initial ATM transaction, then sends me an SMS asking to confirm it's me and retry the transaction.
Another thing you can't do in a terminal is tap on icons, drag and drop them, long-press them and all those things that users today are well, used to doing on their phones, which is how the vast majority first learn how to use a thing with a screen that does things.

That's why I think that using a terminal is user unfriendly: because most users are completely unfamiliar with them and many are even actively scared by them and don't want to have anything to do with them. I bet if you asked around many people would say they don't like Linux because "you have to use the console".

Like I say, I love command lines- but most people, even many developers, absolutely hate them and feel much more comfortable in GUIs. My observation anyway. I don't know if you think different.
TCL is one of the few languages allowing you to dabble in to and one of the few that caught hook with me. It's friendliness then leads you down a path of voodoo and creativity.

proc displayHackerNews {} {
set hn "Hacker News" ;#Fill the variable (hn) with the string "Hacker News"
puts $hn ;#output the variable ($hn) to terminal
} ;#end procedure

displayHackerNews ;#execute the procedure
displays: Hacker News

If statements are easy

set hn ""
if { $hn eq "Hacker News" } { puts $hn } else {
set hn "Not Hacker News"
puts $hn
} ;#end if

Infinite Loops are fun

set hn "Hacker News" ;#Set a variable
while { $hn eq "Hacker News" } {
puts "$hn" ;# print "Hacker News" to terminal in an infinite loop
} ;#end loop

Multi-threading is a breeze.

package require Thread
set MyThreadID [thread::create {
puts "Hello from my new thread"
thread::wait
} ;#end code-to-run
] ;#end thread

And finally, a if-switch-threaded-loop

set hn "Hacker News"
if { $hn eq "Hacker News" } {set switch "hn" } else { set switch "" }

switch $switch {
hn {
set MyThreadID [thread::create {
proc displayHackerNews {} {set hn "Hacker News" ; puts $hn} ;#end procedure

#set aCounter to zero, if aCounter is < 7 execute displayHackerNews procedure
for {set aCounter 0} {$aCounter < 7} {incr aCounter} { displayHackerNews }

Because UBI is fundamentally different than most deficit spending. It actively injects cash into circulation as opposed to kick-starting economic activity which leads to increased spending/circulation.

UBI has not ever been tested at a large scale, and we have no reason to believe it will work. The last thing we need in this fragile economy is inflation. And UBI without increasing revenue will cause inflation, no way around that.

"I see people make blunders that I wish people had stopped making 10 years ago: that tendency to see something that strikes an emotional chord and immediately share it, like it, pass it on without thinking about it, without considering whether it came from a human being, or a bot, or a troll, or a political actor."

To me there's a lot of truth in this statement, so much of being online seems to be driven by how to emotionally manipulate you, and to pull traffic by being the 1st one out of the gate with a story by being the one passed around. It doesn't feel like a very productive model for making any concrete progress. If you try to be more engaged you end up exhausted due to the energy required to cross check information for veracity.
You only get to be a jerk if you are the boss.
I think there's a difference between being a jerk for no reason, and just being disagreeable in situations where you genuinely disagree. Steve Jobs had genuine disagreements between his vision and the people around him, some of his disagreements were productive, and some of them were surely pointless, but some of those productive and difficult disagreements were doubtless a component of his success.

Steve was also a bit of a dirtbag though, if what I've heard about his relationship with his daughter is correct; though probably there's also more to that than we are meant to know.
Anyone had to trawl through a daily access log list looking to establish proof something happened? I have, it sucked and the effort in wasn't worth what we got out of it in the end.

I'm pretty confident my ISP is doing the least amount of work possible to fulfill its logging and archive requirements. Keeping track of this stuff is like cleaning up industrial waste. It's not core the money stream for ISP's so it's going to be daily logs, zipped up on glacier storage, or better just hdd's that get thrown in a container and cycled out each year.

People gotta do something these days, there's talk covid may go for 24 months!
Yeah, "rich data types" is a good point.

pgx provides a #[derive(PostgresType)] macro that lets you represent any normal Rust struct (that serde_cbor can (de)serialize) as a Postgres type. You write no code.

It even generates all the boring SQL boilerplate for you.

I plan on putting together an example about this and doing a twitch stream this week to discuss in detail.
That will not work that well. Average Indian right now doesn't really have that much disposable income for such services to be very profitable. It will have to be the very long run. I doubt either google or Facebook earn a lot from India right now, and they are very well established, and their compute costs are as low as they can get. I don't see how Jio is going to be able to follow the strategy of the biggest tech companies.

I hope India does grow at a large enough rate for such services to be profitable.
Fair enough. I was thinking on it from a work perspective and did make an incorrect assumption that the vast majority of people in the meeting rooms were in similar classes

Hi HN! If you belong to a company with any ground operations, how do your city and ops teams measure area performance?

If you use BI, how do you go more granular than areas? I am talking specifically about orders, routes, users and so on!

The current model of having a very large fund that needs to show to an actuary that it's "fully funded" is relatively new. Defined benefit pensions existed for quite a while before "fully funded" pension funds, using a pay-as-you-go system, and could probably survive indefinitely that way if designed right.
An example of where Google's immediate answer just isn't good:

"how long does it take to get coronavirus test results"

Searching that, Google shows me a giant box with a red warning banner that says "COVID-19 alert". The box looks very authoritative, and in the box Google repeats back my question, and then provides an answer: 24 hours.

In the fine print, there's a link to a WebMD article (but when I click through, no where on WebMD does it say 24 hours).

The problem is that the actual turnaround time in my area (upstate new york) is 7-10 days to get results - according to a doctor who my Aunt got a test from yesterday.

This is far from an isolated case of showing bad information to an important question with too much authority.
Even among technical folks you are in the minority. Especially among non-technical folks, who will toss their email into just about anything that asks for it for almost any reason.
There's more than one example of possible reinfection linked in the article.

>Ditchek said he encountered a second reinfected patient on Wednesday from the same family. This patient had accumulated so many antibodies from his previous COVID-19 infection that he was able to donate plasma to other coronavirus patients two times.

"He'd been negative for seven weeks and sure enough was re-exposed," Ditchek said, and diagnosed positive for COVID-19 this week.

The advice your financial advisor gave you is no more insightful than the stuff you read in editorials and website forums.

Financial advisors exist for the people that are predisposed to appealing to authority, and also have no time for that trade.

They are nowhere near as specialized as like an oncologist who you would still want a second opinion from. Most programmers have the cognitive abilities to pass a financial advisor's licensing exam with one week of preparation.

Just for perspective.

My understanding is that glass and plastics recycle much better than waxed paper.

The issue with glass is that it requires a lot of energy to produce and recycle, and is heavy, which means more energy to transport it.

Properly recycled plastics may in fact be the most environmentally friendly option ...

My previous employer had a strongly worded email and CEO statement sent out after they were sent a notice of over 100 company IPs (out of 15000 employees) torrenting the game of thrones finale to basically tell people "Hey, don't do that, we do business with many of those companies".

> Screaming "FUCK YOU RACIST! GO DIE" at a forum poster will only push them further right.

No it won't. What you are advocating for is tone policing. You are claiming that reasonable outrage is going to radicalize people and therefor people should not express anger when they have every right to be angry. "If she had calmed down, I wouldn't have hit her". Classic abuser and oppressor excuse.

> Would you disagree that there might be a better way of achieving change than letting it spiral into an all-out war?

Yes there is a better way. People should listen to outrage and fix things before it's too late. That onus is on the oppressor. Exactly what I've said all along.

> I think your optimism is a bit premature.

Time will tell. When formerly silent conservatives start joining progressives and all are with one voice saying "we must fix this", it's a damn good sign.

Problably not a large problem though, just haven't seen many .af product sites so far (really great, short domain name otherwise).

I have a few acquaintances in PE and my impression from them is that they are only interested in making a high ROI. It's a game for them. Sometimes on HN and elsewhere you get people saying how evil or malicious these people are. I don't think that's accurate at all. They just aren't focused on the second-order effects of their industry. In any case, the real problems are with the owners of these firms and with the politicians and regulators who are creating the incentives these firms respond to.
