Love your metaphor about Daedalus but labyrinths have a single path compared to mazes which have multiple branching paths.
With the huge increases in productivity since the 1950's, people should be working less hours than in 1950. I don't have a good reason why this should be an anomaly in history.
From the article:

It’s impractical to keep everyone’s functions warm in memory all the time. Instead, serverless providers only warm up a function after the first request is received. Then, after a period of inactivity, the function becomes cold again and the cycle continues.

For Workers, this has never been much of a problem. In contrast to containers that can spend full seconds spinning up a new containerized process for each function, the isolate technology behind Workers allows it to warm up a function in under 5 milliseconds.

So, we've always had very low cold start times, and now we've made them disappear "inside" the TLS handshake.
These tech companies are not the public space you want them to be they are more like clubs and if you don't adhere to these rules you get kicked out. This is a problem of a bad ToS and nothing else.

Comparing outcomes at places like Columbia would be fascinating.

Not sure I agree about liberal arts colleges writ large. The tippy-top tier are pretty great. But the ones in our region have... eclectic... CS faculty. Random math phds and early retirement from industry types. Entire departments taken together have single digit H-indices. I'm sure they're great teachers and all, but...

$25K+/yr for the same sort of de facto non-academic retired/shifted-from-industry instructors you can get at any coding bootcamp or community college is robbery. Especially when the state school next door is about the same price and has a real faculty still pushing the edges of the field.
For similar ergonomic keyboards (mostly DIY), there's of course a GitHub awesome list: https://github.com/pvinis/awesome-split-keyboards.

My personal favorite is the Lily58: https://old.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/d9g3qe.... It avoids having a preposterous number of thumb keys and has a number row. And the OLEDs are a nice touch.

Unfortunately for you and the rest of Americans that feel this isolationist tendency, your country will be a part of the world whether you like it or not. A modern conflict that does not involve the US is not the same thing as a modern conflict that does not affect the US.

Also, your opinion of Europe doesn’t seem founded in reality. Since when does European nations not have their own standing armies, and since when are American army resources used to protect European borders and shipping routes? And from who?

The US needs the rest of the world as much as the rest of the world needs the US. You seem to be under the influence that the US is somehow being fleeced by the rest of the world while nobody but you (conveniently enough) contributes anything.
OK boomer.
ok.. so theres a new technology that does this.

Yep, the United States government gaining the ability to directly block the licensing of ARM reference designs from companies like Huawei's HiSilicon (and the fabless chip designers such as Rockchip) is a VERY big deal. It's a very different situation to the US government having to pressure Japan's SoftBank, UK's ARM Holdings (or their respective governments).
Two big ransom payments in less than a week. Ransomware is going to spike heavy.

Tangentially, I wonder if there’s a side effect from COVID at play. I hypothesized at the beginning when mass workforces were moving to home offices that usual security functions like vuln/patch management would take a performance hit, which could lead to latent increased malware / ransomware abuse.

Would be interesting to hear from the frontline if theres actually any truth to it.
YouTube crushed their competition years ago. Of course the product is going to shit- there is no motivation to improve.
I’ve been using Qt/C++ for a few months here and I’m really really impressed. It’s really nicely done, and the performance is fantastic. Honestly, I’d have probably considered Electron, but the software runs in a somewhat resource constrained environment and has pretty significant soft real-time processing requirements (the C++ part)
It's not that hard to monetize interest in damn near _anything_ (as long as it is not clearly illegal, I guess). For the two examples you've posted, maybe advertise flights/vacations to Singapore if you show a persistent interest in Singapore, and market model rockets, space flight simulator toys, really all sorts of consumer-grade commodity products adjacent to the space industry.
While I'm an advocate of the US entirely removing itself militarily from the Middle East, none of those properly qualify against the parent's point.

The parent referred to starting wars. The first one doesn't qualify at all.

The US and NATO have intervened in the two civil wars (along with numerous other countries; with France recently pleading with the US to remain in Syria). It's an overreach to claim the US started the Libyan Civil War or the Syrian Civil War, neither is true. The US was opportunistic in trying to squeeze Syria's dictator Bashar al-Assad out (with Russia on the other side, trying to prop up the dictatorship). Those civil wars are the inevitable result of decades of extreme oppression by dictatorship, which will always end in armed revolution.
CS is an outlier. I imagine mathematics could be a good outlier as well. Its probably easier to find someone to help criticize your writing as opposed to getting your hands on expensive scientific / engineering equipment (both because of cost and regulations) however.
I don't see how this is relevant to the GP point that I was addressing? They seemed to be implying that consumers would favor privacy-respecting phones.
I'll have to disagree with that. I cut out a bunch of toxic people from my life and moved across the country and I still hate them but people like them don't come across my mind at all unless mutual acquaintances bring them up. I even came across my bully from middle school in a random city I visited, and had drinks with him and his girlfriend that he was calling a retard throughout the whole night and was clear that he was being abusive to her. Do I forgive him? no, especially since he never apologized. But I'm free from these people now too and I get Schadenfreude whenever i hear about their misfortunes in life and see it as karma.

what you are describing is not forgiveness. It's called moving on.

That's the oft-mentioned and certainly plausible reason, but it's not a matter of fact that it's THE reason, is it?
Nothing is a guarantee of a good life.

A good life requires so many different elements, but mostly comes down to one thing: what you put into it, esp. in regards to improving the lives and welfare of others around you. Do this, and you will find that your own life gets better and better. Be kind, do work to help others, care about people and their lives (and not just your own) and you'll find that life will turn out pretty darn fine.

You're only stuck in a $100 asset hole if you refuse to do anything about it, or if you intrinsically offer no value to the world.
Many rail networks are designed for trains of a specific length. Primitive signalling systems risk trains colliding if trains are longer than the design length, or there are places a longer train would get stuck (a pair of long trains each cannot move forward because each requires the other to move first due to the design of the signalling and safety systems)
Exactly. They have lost so much money - this will at least put some back in their coffers - how much did they lose on WeWork? $18B

People always parrot this but how many Doctors do you know with no degree? Take a poll at Google engineers and see how many are actually self taught and have no degree. How many Wall Street bankers/traders/etc have no degree? How many US Senators have no degree? How many World Leaders in history have had no formal education? Not counting dropouts, what percentage of Billionaires have no college education? The reality is still that the overwhelming majority of "successful" people still have degrees. You can argue what the root of this is whether it's the added knowledge or signalling of the degree, or intrinsic self motivation of the person, etc. but that fact still remains.
I hear this explanation a lot. What I don't get is how Google, a company known for being exceptionally clever in how it manages engineers, hasn't realized that their organizational structure causes this sort of build-and-abandon pattern. In any case, the rest of us at large shouldn't have to suffer just because Google can't figure out how to build meaningfully long-lasting services.
Ask HN: Have you ever bought a small business?
We have been thinking about purchasing a local small business (like laundromat or car wash). But somewhat confused by the archaic process of browsing vague listings posted by brokers. Also, unsure about the financing available for a first time buyer.

Has anyone else gone through the process, and have insight + resources to share?

Is the definition of the word "free" another casualty of this era? It's literally free...
That's certainly fair.
Hyper is Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Win/Cmd, while Meh is Ctrl+Shift+Alt. No sane application on your machine uses these, which means you get free system-wide shortcuts.

Ugh I wish Illustrator would let me use these, it only lets me assign shortcuts to cmd, cmd-shift, cmd-alt, and cmd-alt-shift. I would be so happy if I could add ctrl I to the mix, I have about thirty keypresses left unassigned and they are all kind of terrible choices.

I guess this means my setup is insane. I’m fine with that.
Long term goal would be to offer much better terms than what sharks offer. I'm working on building a service that relies heavily on data science (being intentionally vague atm). I will post a beta/demo at some point when it's ready for a show HN but in the meantime I'm trying to assess regulatory costs. Thanks
Always irks me how the media use the term "hackers" as some usurped terminology to describe criminal acts using technology. For me, it is like calling burglars a locksmith - that don't happen and yet we see the word "hacker" used by the media to describe criminal acts so far removed from the words original meaning that it just pains me and i'm sure many others. More so when the populus definition of that word now parallels what the media have been putting out for years, it just creates whole generations that will never know what a true hacker is.
What is that intelligence you’ve mentioned?
I just don't agree with the implied dichotomy here, between good people who always treat others well (although they might have misunderstandings) and narcissists with abusive habits. Most people fall in the middle, where they're a bit of a jerk in their own idiosyncratic situations. If you get in a habit of sorting all bad behavior between "misunderstanding" and "abuse", you'll inevitably end up calling a lot of normal behavior abuse and a lot of okay people abusers.
At least for HN, because it's not taking money from Australians, I don't think it's a concern. YC can tell the Australians to get bent and there's nothing they can do. Reddit might be more of a concern because it tries to convince people to buy stuff.
> I did. As did many of my classmates. I've found engineering fascinating since I was a child so I enjoyed the opportunity.

I was told from a young age college was about learning and not grades. I believed that lie, aggressively optimized for learning over grades and that was a huge mistake.

Several times I skipped doing boring unnecessary homework or going to a useless class to
work on projects that would teach me more. I would routinely do things like skip class to go above and beyond on interesting projects.

Despite getting above a 90 on all of my projects and exams, I graduated with a 2.4. I would routinely have calls with potential employers where they would say "wow after talking to you we're really impressed with your knowledge of c.s. and the projects you've completed. Oh btw I didn't see your gpa on your resume, what was it? Oh, I'm sorry. We only take people who have a gpa about 2.5/3.0/3.5. but don't worry you seem super personable and smart I know you're going to find something".

Now I tell all of my younger siblings. Optimize for grades and that's the only thing that matters. You can always pick up a book but you'll never be able to fix your gpa. My 2.4 and my wife's 4.0 continue to influence our lives (albeit now much more mildly) 10 years later.
- Airstrikes are not a war and the US is not at war with Iran (believe me, you'd know if they were)

- Libya was started by France who begged the US to join them on their little sorties, Italy ran air command too, the US was just along for the ride)

- The Syrian Civil War has basically nothing to do with America, blame Russia as the leadership there gassing civilians and genociding undesirables is a Putin stooge.
There has to be startups already doing just that
I'm not sure why you think we shouldn't be composing SQL. What about for cases like:

No, it just means that the Worker is cold-started and ready to execute. If the TLS connection breaks in some way then worst case we've loaded something into memory but not executed it.
The way I look at it now after working for large and small tech companies, the Stem degree will help you land your first job because you can be extremely green as long as you have that stem BS.

However a self taught programmer with a humanities degree can also get to the same position with some sweat equity.

Once at the position of software developer the person with the humanities degree takes off.

They've learned to write, they learned to talk and be communicative amongst friends and colleagues. Your job will let you learn as you go wrt to tech, but not as much with soft skills. where the stem grad is still that weird awkward guy who gets into arguments about pedantics, the humanities person is writing proposals and building a network.

The stem person needs to put in a lot more work on the soft skills they never learned, especially if they want to rise in the rankings, this is where the humanities person has that leg up
Whats the final determination around the rumors employees were payed for access to their creds?
1. Germany isn't on the Eastern Front. Poland actually borders Russia (the exclave on the Baltic.)

2. The US is in the process of building a military base in Poland.

> In 2018, Poland proposed that the United States open a permanent military base within its country. The Polish government would finance around $2 Billion of the cost of hosting American forces, if the proposal was accepted by the United States. Poland has proposed either Bydgoszcz, or Toruń, as potential base locations.[18] Since 1999, Poland has sought closer military ties with the United States.[19] In June 2019, both sides agreed to send 1,000 U.S. troops to Poland.[20] In September 2019, six locations were determined to host approximately 4,500 of the U.S. military in Poland, including: Poznań, Drawsko Pomorskie, Strachowice, Łask, Powidz and Lubliniec.

3. Some of those troops will be moved from Germany to Poland.

> On 24 June 2020, Trump said at a press conference with Duda that the United States plans to move some U.S. troops from Germany to Poland.[22][23] Trump said that "Poland is one of the few countries that are fulfilling their obligations under NATO — in particular, their monetary obligations — and they asked us if we would send some additional troops. ... I think [putting more US troops in Poland] sends a very strong signal to Russia."

Honestly, if you can't bother to do basic research about the situation, it's better to not comment on it.
Facebook broke through. We could have easily had a world with dozens of major social networks, each catering to a different subset of the world and consumer groups. Facebook, though, was able to gain nearly universal acceptance -- outside of countries where it is explicitly banned. There was no guarantee one company would take that prize. In fact it was more likely that we'd have Reddit, MySpace, TikTok, etc all catering to different audiences with no one platform that basically everyone at least has an account for.
That's a good point, I'll look into reducing the pricing for read-only users. We haven't had many companies with read-only users so it hasn't come up, but I think it makes sense.
I get the no improvement part, but why make it worse by removing stable, useful features? How much maintenance does it need? What are they gaining from this?
> due to electoral bugs

Electoral College is a bug when Democrats lose, got it.

If both candidates campaigned knowing that the popular vote was the deciding factor, we would have seen different campaign strategies and there's no way of knowing the winner.

Both sides knew the rules going in, Hillary lost, by a lot.
Is there any scientific motivation for this research? Any motivation at all, other than the quack products that are sold based on this theory? My father-in-law bought some "grounding mats" that he was supposed to stand on or put his feet on while he was sitting to improve the function of basically every organ in his body. Cures liver problems, kidney problems, digestion, etc. And of course it came with a huge list of vague symptoms like fatigue and trouble sleeping that could mean your liver, kidneys, etc. were malfunctioning. Doctors won't tell you the truth because it threatens their ability to get rich selling you overpriced and unnecessary medication, instead be smart and buy our product for only $29.99, blah blah blah.

With that motivation in mind, I need to hear a plausible scientific motivation before I take it seriously. That's why the lack of a theory matters. If it's not motivated by a scientifically plausible theory of how it could work, or as an attempt to explore or extend a known phenomenon, I have to assume something else.
Sure, but I would argue you are in the minority, and it is a large subset of people who can work hard and be dependable, but don't have the talent to be a highly skilled knowledge worker, or can't pivot to different skill sets, which is required to have dependable employment these days.
So basically, it will be two companies which own both the CPU and GPU stack (AMD/ATI and Nvidia/ARM) and intel will just sort of end up at the wayside. Not really what I expected.
I don't really trust Twitter at all. When you consider how they shape public opinion on so many things, it gets scary.

They have been caught banning people based on their political stances, and refuse to remove the algorithmic timeline sorting method which is designed to strip adolescents (and easily persuaded adults) of their critical thinking skills.
Plot twist... You live in the north of Belgium & speak Flemish.
The way it was written made me question if they had used gpt-3. Lol
This is an HN bubble framing. The masses that enjoy YouTube don't "trust" google, YouTube is just another large entertainment platform among many, "trust" never enters the equation, its just an entertainment website.
Should web apps use PAKEs?
Some of these are fantastic, and definitely chuckled while reading this comment.
I didn't mean to imply Best Buy employees get commission. I only called them salespeople to distinguish the people who roam the tech aisles rather than work the register, Geek Squad, etc.

Anecdotally, I've definitely more than one employee try to steer me to the overpriced cables when I was just looking for a quick HDMI cable. I typically just ask them if the decently-priced cable fits into the HDMI spec. By that time they usually figure out it's not worth the time to try and upsell and move on.
There's a quote attributed to Donald Knuth that goes "Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do."

Now if you take the word "explain" broadly and maintain that we've actually found a way to "explain" a huge volume of information to GPT-3 then you might hold that Knuth had got it backwards.

But maybe that's the crux of it. GPT-3 doesn't get explained anything. You might better say it was force fed.
Australia is not the first country to pass a law like this. Spain and France have both done some version of this as well. There's going to be a point where enough countries stand up to them that they can't just withdraw without substantially hurting their own business long-term.
