Bad comparison:

- on-demand vs upfront (AWS has upfront with slimilar cost reduction)
- scalable vs. fixed (when you stop using it on AWS you also stop paying)

Then there is all of the functionality and integration everyone else already has touched on.
I haven't been to the Hudson Yards stop, but many NY subway platforms are very cramped by modern transit standards (compared with even, say the DC metro). I'm sure they're not accessible and hard to make so, and some sections are so narrow as to be positively dangerous.

Building new platforms that were just "as wide as the original subway platforms" would be the bonkers thing.

Sure it's more expensive to build it big, but I bet its more expensive still (if not totally impossible) to build it small then _re_build it big a few decades later.

> So many people don't take the 10 minutes to configure DMARC, DKIM and SPF.

Considering I've actually never heard of any of those things despite multiple people telling me to set up a mail server. I'm not sure why you're surprised.
> For every transactional email I need to send out - registration, account recovery, and email change verification - the user always initiates this by submitting their email address, and it will at that time be available to the backend to perform the needed action.

This sounds like terrible UX, not to mention email use cases not initiated by the user. I really think you'd be shooting yourself in the foot by setting up a small site with this philosophy because you don't need emails right now
> then is there anything self-existing in Nature which could be used to (or does in actuality) implement a Fourier Transform?

The lens in the human eye is continuously doing Fourier transforms via the lens:

I liked The Lady Astronaut OK, but it took a long while to get going. It starts with some very big events that feel like they're being skipped over to get to the real story. She's trying to cover a lot of history in a short space, which gives it a perfunctory feel.

She's not an expert in a lot of things she writes about, and so the dialogue reads awkwardly. The dialogue about the details of small aircraft read much better. I'm not a pilot myself, so maybe it's simply that I don't know it any better, but it felt more authentic -- either she is a pilot herself, or the person who helped her write that dialogue was more closely involved than the ones who helped her write math and physics.

Getting all of that criticism out of the way up front, the best parts are the history that really deserves to be known better. She started writing before Hidden Figures came out, but it's worth telling that story several times. Women served as pilots and astronauts, and we should remember both what they did and how they were marginalized by deliberate sexism and racism.

The book got better as it went on, I felt, and even having reached the end I'm not motivated to read the sequels. Still, the history her book is based on is so important that I'd encourage people to read this one.

I got the same feeling after reading the comment.

It is more like "why everyone is driving ferraris, when they could buy toyota yaris", maintenance on ferrari is super expensive so if you have to drive to work and back it is not a smart expense.

Same with AWS vs OVH vps, where with AWS you have a lot of power under the hood but you use it mostly like you would use single OVH vps that is also not smart use of money.
I hope you are trolling because this dogwhistle nonsense is getting out of hand.
The drive to combat climate change is creating a generation of people who are forgetting that forest-inhabiting species need forest ecosystems of native species, as similar as possible to the natural vegetation cover. Not plantations of "trees" of whatever species, done as part of some large-scale anti-climate-change program.

All the tree-planting that we are doing to combat climate change should be done explicitly with a view to promoting natural vegetation ecosystems. Species extinctions in the next 5 years will be due to habitat loss, not climate change. There are few things more important than preventing the loss of the World's natural habitats and preventing species extinction: in my opinion every time we talk of climate change as a great challenge facing humanity we should also be talking of habitat loss and species extinction.
What way of fixing station overcrowding are you thinking of?
Not sure if this has ever been a topic on HN but this site is great. I found it via an article about Santa Fe, NM and Fort Collins, CO. I actually went and visited Santa Fe and would never have if it weren't for this site. There are pages on "jokes", sections devoted to chocolate, antique sewing machines, bookbinding, x-files, etc., etc. This is a total time warp back to the old style internet. It's a treasure.
If that is the case, fingers crossed there will be a new Apple TV then.

The actual DMCA takedown was just an excuse. I'm sure Microsoft's top brass would love to give the gift of killing youtube-dl to their friends at Google. Sort of a "you scratch my back I'll scratch yours". Maybe YouTube will stop begging users to switch from Edge to Chrome.

When one talks about the percentage of labor costs that trickle down to the worker. I include the workers expenses in that as well. If you are paying a worker you are also paying his rent, health insurance, and transportation costs. Those are high by world standards.

Remember a bitch by a VC that tech workers weren't benefiting from the high wages he was paying so much as land lords.

That. Financialization and rent seeking in the US acts as a privately imposed tax on real economic activity. That shows in in things like why my company has moved every five years since the early 2000's. Our lease expires. The rent doubles and we move.

Want to fix this; prune back the finance and healthcare industries.
People should be free to allow themselves to be enraged by an algorithm if they want to, just as they should be free to drink alcohol.

My problems with social media are that they aren't transparent about the rage-inducing nature of their algorithms and that they are monopolies. Those of us who want to opt out of the rage are also forced to opt out of our online friends and families.
>but wouldn't this mean the end of online advertising?

Sounds wonderful.
Point of order: the US is far from unique in having a written constitution. Most developed countries have a written constitution that, among other things, guarantees (on paper) basic rights to their citizens. The only exception is the UK, which does not have a single written constitutional document.

As you say, the commitment to basic democratic rights is considerably stronger in other western countries than in the US. The kind of abuses the Republican party habitually conducts with the aim of disenfranchising Democratic voters would not be tolerated elsewhere; this is reflected by the fact that the US constitution only explicitly prohibits certain forms of electoral discrimination (i.e. it's a blacklist policy) but does not explicitly grant a right to vote.

Remotely access any TCP/UDP services, bypassing NAT/firewall

I ask for very light sedation. I still remember what was happening, but didn't feel any discomfort.

I asked for local anesthesia for a major knee surgery. (They normally do full anesthesia for that because an epidural injection is considered a bit riskier.)

That was a lot of fun! The doctor was delighted to have such an interested and captive audience, and ran over time because he spent too much time explaining everything while doing the procedure.

"Now I will cut loose this useless tendon from your thigh and reuse it as a replacement ACL."
Isn’t streaming done usually via UDP?
Personally when I visit a page I always turn off all the switchable cookies, it's really interesting to see how different pages force you to accept them, by obscuring the disable button, adding an "allow all and close" button in all steps of the process (so you click it after getting tired) or even allowing you to turn all on, but forcing to turn them off one by one. It's funny, but long and unpleasant process. I was aware of the "I don't mind cookies" extension, and that was perfect... but for the opposite! I was wondering why there wasn't an option to say no instead of yes.
So I'll definitely try this. If it works as expected and you keep at least the basic features free this will be a must have for me.
Agreed. In fact I haven't checked HN since I posted that and fully expected to be downvoted to all hell for that comment when I logged back in just now. I'm really impressed with myself. Made my week.

Listen up country bumpkin! If you were a sophisticated tech bro urbanite like me, you'd know that food comes from grocery stores, not farms. The only thing farmers grow is inedible corn (probably just to spite the environment); they're leeches on the teat of society who don't deserve an ounce of protection! If they weren't so dumb they'd learn to code and do something productive, like code mobile apps and ad networks. In the future we'll all be eating computer chips anyway. Stick around HN and maybe you'll learn a few of these things.
Genocides happen because of propaganda. The planners and financers and propagandists don't tend to kill with their own hands. But they command massive acts of violence.

Just one example: A radio station (RTLM) in Rwanda laid the groundwork of genocide by dehumanizing Tutsis, among other things by referring to them as "cockroaches" repeatedly. The station was deemed instrumental in the resulting murders of at least half a million people.

It's not fear mongering to look at the facts of history and see that propaganda is a primary way that violence scales. Deep fakes are another tool which will certainly be used towards these same ends. What propagandist would not want to use such a tool?

I use Freshbooks. It has a time tracker and makes it easy to send invoices for hourly projects. It also has retainers and other features, accepts credit card payments as well as ACH. It's really easy and allows me to devote as little time to invoicing as possible.

I regular work with and PM projects using union labor in NYC. The rates here are about what I would expect for take-home pay. I.e. they take home (pre-tax) closer to $70/hr than $30/hr. One thing not made clear in the article is if the hourly rates they quote are pre or post benefits. When I budget out projects, my spreadsheets have two columns, hourly wage, and hourly + benefits. Depending on the particular union, the benefits can be as high as 60%. So the real cost to me, the PM, is $70+$42 = $112/hour straight time.
https://www.weightwatchers.com works really well. I thought it was just a brand of frozen food, but it's not. You get a set number of "points" each day, which more or less equate to calories. It makes counting calories much, much easier. Worth a look.

I understood why the rice sold out. I understood why the flour sold out. I understood why the beans sold out.

What I don't understand is why the instant ramen sold out at the same time as the rice.
Stop signs in general are hugely abused as a method of speed limit enforcement.

The (European) alternative of a simple set of rules seems more attractive: at an intersection of two different roads, the larger road has the right of way. When two same-priority roads cross, the driver on the right has the right of way. Ambiguous intersections are governed by yield signs. Only in situations where there is actual danger (bad visibility, dangerous shape of the road etc), then stop signs are used.

When they're scarce, people heed them. When they're everywhere, people instinctively determine that they're kind of meaningless, and respect them only to avoid fines from the police.

How are you dealing with this? Any tips to a fellow software engineer?

The thing that make me irritated the most is the noise. With the kids without school, they're playing aloud most of the day in the street (even that in theory their parents shouldn't let them, for COVID reasons). For 1 day that's annoying enough, imagine after 6+ months working from home every day.

Also, the loniness (although I've still been seeing some family members and friends).
I also really hope the Pi desktop PC succeeds as an alternative to ChromeOS.

I've been appalled by wide adoption among schoolkids of Chromebooks. Google promises not to build profiles of kids, but they are still capturing all their online and OS behaviour. The volumes of data captured are unimaginably large.

Pushback and scrutiny of ChromeOS is practically zero in tech circles. In fact it's quite the opposite, as discussed by some in this thread: there's excitement about the thought of porting ChromeOS to Pi.

> What has become of HN. Why are so many people defending this practice […]

I think people on HN increasingly have FAANG (or even more murky) jobs.

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”

— Upton Sinclair

If these people were to admit to themselves that the place they work is deeply unethical, they would have to either face unpleasant truths about themselves, or face the prospect of abandoning their job. Neither alternative is attractive to say the least, so cognitive dissonance sets in, and an illusion is created is their minds that this behavior is, in fact, ethical.

Regenerative Culture’s Wake-Up Story
That's not why Penn Station is a shitshow. Penn Station basically has three main problems:

1. Amtrak insists on trying to do an airplane-like boarding situation for trains, rather than the traditional practice of telling people what track their train will be on several minutes in advance and letting them wait on the platform. This means you have boarding lines and expectant crowds in places that aren't designed to handle that kind of capacity.

2. Each of the services that call at Penn Station has its own segregated platforms, mezzanine, and ticketing areas, and the connectivity between these is poor and confusing. Although, this is probably driven in large part by...

3. Madison Square Garden was built on top of Penn Station, and a substantial portion of the above-ground infrastructure is dedicated to supporting that tenant rather than the transportation infrastructure.

Penn Station used to have a more normal major-station layout when it was still part of the Pennsylvania Railroad, but that was ruined by the building of Madison Square Garden on top of it.
> Your haskell program does not mutate.

Then it doesn't work. Every Haskell program does nothing, because mutation of program state does not occur.

You're just trolling at this point. Please reconsider your confidence in this material, because you are egregiously mistaken.
I'm euro and I agree, it seems people who never set a foot here fetishize it. Americans have insane amount of disposable dollars compared to Europeans and they also spend like crazy :)
Is a mezzanine considered capacity?
I think it's become a tradition at the company, part of the culture that people can rally around for big releases. Not a bad thing I don't think!
> There are very important differences between Biden and Trump

There is one I can see right away Biden is not gloating about his family side hustles.

They are both turds, sides of same coin, and both are evidence that current system is broken.

If you are given choice between two thieves and you are arguing that one stole less in the past so its better choice, then you don't see the irony of your 'free choice'.

Sure voting biden is clearly better outcome but the system is intact.
If you have a free tier with only public content allowed, and a paid tiers that allow paid content... you're going to have to do one of two things when someone cancels:

A) delete a lot of their stuff, or

B) make all their stuff public

Either could be really, really bad.

You could let the user pick between the two options, I guess. But really, most everyone cancelling something like this needs to go through their stuff and decide for each item: "Keep, but make public" or "Delete".
There's more to creating natural ecosystems than planting "trees". Which species of "trees" are being planted? The answer to that question is...kind of important. And unfortunately, if you look at what we are doing right now, a lot of tree-planting schemes are just commercial species. If we go down this road, our zeal to combat climate change may in fact end up having negative consequences for species conservation. We must tie these two things together; it just requires us to understand that wild organisms are picky: a eucalyptus or pine plantation is no good whatsoever for the species we must save from extinction.
