(I've not made a typo, it's ~$150/acre-foot for the expensive irrigation water)

So $0.05 to bathe. I think "market" effects aren't causing the problem.

I think HN should be interested by that Coursera today requires reCAPTCHA passing to log into. That filters out some browsers or extensions.

Also at least some courses are paid-only - initially there were plenty of free courses. For example, even if you don't want a certificate for Deep Learning specialization, just to view videos require you to enter a credit card and agree to some dim conditions probably drafted by lawyers (and expected to be read by non-lawyers).

Coursera was great initially, with well taught courses. Now it's more of a gated community, much worse IMO than it used to be. Hope there are better offerings elsewhere.

I'm referring to the terms "institutional" and "racism", when put together. If an ideological camp wants to put the terms together, and refer to a class of properties that are not both institutional and racism, I have no obligation to accept their arbitrary redefinition of the terms, and I can point out that the term is extremely misleading, like the "wage slavery" used by Marxists.

>>This is just staring oneself blind on the letter of law, ignoring everything else. That's not how societies work.

This is just ignoring what the terms "institutional" and "racism" mean, to push a grievance ideology narrative that castigates society.

I'm commenting on "institutional racism", not racism in general. Institutional racism is "racism that is embedded as normal practice within society", which only occurs through the mechanism of systemic properties like its laws or rules, or its social contract, just as I explained.

>>It's pointless to discuss subjects with someone who will just redefine them entirely and then refuse to even recognize anything else

You're the one redefining "institutional" and "racism", and resorting to ad hominem when any one points out the pure absurdity of your narrative.

For things that are deployed on AWS, I would recommend AWS Secrets Manager or SSM Parameter Store. Two different options for similar use cases.

Of course, you have to build your tooling so as to pull these parameters out and put them where they are needed at the time of deployment, but at least you’re handing off the storage and distribution of these secrets to another entity that has a lot more experience in doing so.

Section 6 of the GPLv2 states:

This conflicts with the App Store's Terms of Service, particularly it's "Usage Rules". https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/more-about-the-app-store...

This is of course different from merely running GPL software on a proprietary OS. In fact, iOS ships with GPL software on board.
I am reading this after waking up... kinda wishing I did not wake up. What on Earth is going on? We, the people on whom they do this crap cannot (should not) tolerate this. Hopefully someone has ideas about what to do against this kind of shit other than not work for Microsoft or wherever this technology is used, like what is happening to those if this becomes widespread? We cannot all just expect others to not work. We need other solutions, and we kind of need them fast because it is getting out of hand. We frown at China, but this sort of thing is not any different than for what we frown at China, is it?
Ask HN: How to have quasi anonymity/privacy as a CS undergrad?
Considering "professionalism", how to best conduct yourself online, if you need to have a presence (i.e. e-mail) or rather a portfolio (i.e. GitHub) online and you don't want to be fully identifiable from the get-go preserving some privacy/anonymity?

If I don't want a first.last@domain.com type of email address, and instead opting for a verycommonfirst[2-9]@domain.com, e.g. jack2778@something.com. Then, having a GitHub username resembling the same pattern jack5588 and also copyright noticing my work by it like so:

"Copyright 2020-2021 jack5588"

jack2278@something.com (or maybe jack@someremailer.com) will be also my contact email listed on GitHub for the purposes of "proof of ownership".

Will this go down well or is it a stupid idea making a potential employer/interviewer raise eyebrows?

There's another way to pull this off, but I don't want to go by a hash:
https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/7147/declaring-copyright-anonymously

My intention is having some simple privacy by not being easily searchable/identifiable via a search machine. I intend to use my very common real first name though.

Note, the [2-9] is because 0 and 1 can be hard to correctly read out.

This is based on a common misunderstanding of what “Wall Street” does.

The Hollywood-inspired folk concept of Wall Street is that they trade stocks. That’s what everybody in those big buildings in Manhattan does all day. They yell buy/sell orders into red phones and drink Scotch.

Except they don’t. Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs make money by providing services such as mergers and acquisitions, IPOs, market making, etc. That is, they make money by selling shovels in a gold rush, not by speculating on where gold will be found. Other firms are in the business of buying and selling illiquid assets such as private companies and commercial real estate (with illiquid assets, there is far lower price efficiency, and thus it is possible to generate excess returns). Still others are in the business of managing people’s money for them—an industry which is mostly about managing volatility, not about generating excess returns (a pension fund usually cannot afford to have its portfolio go down by 50%, even if it’s temporary, so they’re not going to put it all in the S&P 500).

Proprietary trading (where firms use their own money to buy and sell public securities) has been in decline for decades at the big banks, precisely because they don’t have a scrying crystal, and they know it. Public stock trading on Wall Street is mostly the domain of companies in niches like high-frequency trading (such as Jane Street). HFT firms gain an edge through arbitraging different prices faster than anyone else (for example, sell Exxon in New York a few microseconds after oil futures drop in Chicago). In other words, the only people on Wall Street who do what Hollywood-Wall-Street does are the few who do have a scrying crystal.

WSB is not “exposing” anything except the fact that most people (understandably) have no idea what the financial industry does.

Hi, great job. I always knew how to play multiplayer mahjong (incredibly underrated family/friends activity) but not solitaire mahjong. Now I know cuz of your game!
It’s tough to put all the context out there - obviously I’m guilty there too - I don’t even think searchability is a real reason, and overlapping executables are a thing but still not that tricky for most folks who are using a CLI.

I’m mostly annoyed with how every time something like this happens lots of people just comment on the name and not the substance of the project, it’s such a huge distraction.

I studied solar physics but my PIs were in their 70s so all drafts were reviewed in MS Office. I would have liked to have a reason to use something more classy, but that’s how it goes.

I appreciate your reply, and I apologize for being an asshole. I’ll take this with me as I try to be less of an asshole going forward, if you search my history it may look like I never learn, but I’m always trying :)

At work someone got annoyed with the phrase assume good intentions, and proposed an alternative: ask compassionate questions. I’ve been thinking a lot about this and I will try to do that next time I start making assumptions or before I blow my lid on a stranger, and it shouldn’t matter that you’re obviously a decent person, but I still appreciate it.
I would just buy domains and put up landing pages. Anything that gets a sign up with pay. I'd start working on that. All my ideas would be small iterations of what I am thinking of.

For example, lately, I have noticed there are some amazing people out there who can't market their products as well as they should. Their reach is significantly lower than I would have imagined. So I have been reaching out to different folks and asking to invest with them. This way I would get their audience/reputation and I can utilize my technology skills.

Once I get the person I want to work with, I would probably do something as you suggested, with the (x), while I iterate on different ideas, setup landing pages to get people to sign up and then see what to build. The great part about doing this is that when the person signs up, there is already an existing product that they can use, so all I am doing is marketing an existing service in a different way, I wouldn't have to build anything new, and just focus on marketing, or actually go through and build out the entire ecosystem when signups increase.

To give you an example, there are many coaching services out there. Some of them are remarkable people but they aren't I.T. people so they may have 1,000 or 2,000 followers. There are also many counselors and upper management employees, or junior level employees, who don't understand how to move up in an organization and being able to reach them is critical for their growth. The idea is to get a few coaches who need an advertising platform, invest with them, then create a platform to advertise mentors in a niche field. Obviously this won't be for everyone because you need to invest a bit of money and not time early on.

My read of this is that you've conditioned yourself to wake up mid-REM. This can't be great for you, and probably explains why you're groggy and half-sleepy during those wakeups. I'd consult a sleep specialist to see what can be done about this.

I did "The Modern and the Postmodern" last year, and really enjoyed it without doing the essays/peer review. Curiously I'm now working through Mehrling's course, too.

Another one I'd recommend if you enjoyed those two, although in a very different vein is Bloom's Moralities of Everyday Life, which is supposedly a psychology course, but really goes into comparative culture questions that IMO make it closer to an anthropology course. https://www.coursera.org/learn/moralities

The only institutional racism in America today is affirmative action that blatantly discriminates in favor of individuals belonging to supposedly disadvantages groups, or the racial victimhood ideology that leads to police shooting unarmed black individuals at 25 times lower frequencies than unarmed white individuals in similar situations.

> IDEs such as IntelliJ can easily consume 8GB of memory

Sound more like a Jetbrain ( IntelliJ company ) problem. Used to develop on PHPstorm ( another Jetbrain ) product ( same software in the background ) and the slow startup's, 2GB+ memory eating for relative small projects, crashes way too much, expensive as hell for what it does ( especially with the license change years ago ) ...

Eventually switched to Visual Studio Code and while people whine how Electron is memory inefficient, its like 1/6 the memory usage of PHPstorm, with only a few features missing.

Even on a 32GB PC system, i barely use 16GB ( and WSL2 is eating up a lot with a lot of docker images. And its not really docker, just Linux cache eating up memory ). Not a issue on a Mac that does not need a VM like layer.

Its about priorities sometimes. If people keep upgrading their memory, developers/companies simply push the responsibility to the clients and do not bother with spending time on optimizing.

If people start leaving software product on the way side for being just horrible inefficient messes, then maybe a bit of focus will come back to actually optimizing products! You will see Jetbrain change tune, when VSC etc keep eating its market share.

Would you honestly want a job being hawked by that recruiter? I'd say it's a win win.
I really dislike this kind of comment. The typical "I could do this myself in a weekend in <a low number> lines of code".

They tend to oversimplify complex problems. They fail to recognize that perhaps they haven't thought of every single twist and turn in the path. These comments believe building something is a straight line, and that because they can think it up and do some napkin math, everyone else's work is invalid.

It's easy to say "I can build x in x time" until the hard work starts and you realize reality isn't that simple.
That's interesting. Any source on this? Because CD-R specs says:

> "Will this go down well or is it a stupid idea making a potential employer/interviewer raise eyebrows?"

You're overthinking it. Unless your email name is "IStealFromMyEmployer@example.com", no interviewer is likely to pay the slightest attention to what your email name or GitHub account name is. (Most of the time, they won't even look at your GitHub even if you mention it on your resume.)

Attempting to copyright your work under a pseudonym may have legal implications; you may wish to investigate that if you think your code will eventually be of value.
I guess this could be a good treatment for people who have severe symptoms. Or maybe they can find a way to prevent the hallucinations or create a similar drug without those effects. Otherwise, it seems like the person would be injected every other day and lose most of that day to side effects.
It's so weird that people find it hard to see a rotted mansion as a policy failure. That's straight up economic waste. It's like dumping milk to support the market price, even if people are hungry.

Detroit isn't abandoned. It just doesn't have rich people, and banks were too aggressive in their pricing of foreclosed properties. Now those properties have all rotted.

Economic waste should be severely penalized in the tax code.
In another post I pointed out that I think Conservapedia is a bit of a tragedy. An encyclopedia, with or without an explicit point of view, should ideally be an interesting and useful reference work. That goal needs to be front-and-center, over and above questions of how to resolve editorial disputes or whatever.

An encyclopedia with a point of view should still have high quality standards and a focus on collecting information that readers will want. Conservapedia seemed to instantly go in a direction of "hey, a forum to score political points! whoo!!".

One thing that might help (apart from cultural issues about people's motivations for contributing, maybe?) would be to say that articles are still expected to present all significant points of view (just as Wikipedia NPOV aspires to do), without the constraint that the article has to avoid favoring one of them (or has to give them weight in proportion to their presence in particular media outlets). I've seen the Catholic Encyclopedia and Jewish Encyclopedia try to fairly explain other religions' histories, practices, and tenets, and sometimes then mention the ways that those religious contradict Catholic or Jewish teachings. The main intended use of this information may be missionary or counter-missionary, but it's trying to be careful and thorough and also not tendentious -- it's not like "we have to slip in a THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG AND DUMB AND SO ARE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IT remark every other sentence when writing about other belief systems".

Also, trying to edit and add encyclopedic content that isn't just focused on disagreements with other points of view or positions...

One thing I was just reminded of is Paul Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement:

http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html

A great thing would be for consciously-POV encyclopedias to always aim as high up on the Hierarchy of Disagreement as they can, on all topics. Imagine having a POV encyclopedia article on the Israel-Palestine conflict, or the U.S. abortion debate, for example, that argued or concluded that one side was "right" but still tried hard to fairly describe the beliefs and motivations of the "wrong" side and its supporters, and also mentioned historical events or facts that reflected well on the "wrong" side or poorly on the "right" side. More generally, one such that reading it made you genuinely more informed about the background and context of the issue, and better-equipped to have meaningful, substantive conversations about it with someone with a different background or opinion!
I would argue that the ponzi scheme is much broader than what is described here.

1) Try to start an online business. It doesn't really matter what you're doing or if it succeeds as long as it's marketable to people aspiring to create an online business

2) Make a big fuss about the launch on all social platforms (Twitter, HN, PH, IH, your blog, etc) and hope someone with a big audience signal boosts you or you get lucky

3a) If you start making money, awesome! Constantly post revenue numbers, things about Building in Public (TM) and "you can do it too!". Your audience (And therefore revenue) will compound exponentially

3b) If you 'fail', make a blog post retrospective called "Lessons Learned" and blast that out everywhere as well

4) Repeat steps 1-3 until you hit 3a. Throw in a few "6 Months of Building in Public" type posts if you're really having trouble

In reality, I strongly believe that very few people end up making it through this type of process and success mostly comes down to luck or connections (Anyone who already has an audience can easily pull you up).
Much like car dealerships, they've legislated themselves into permanence (state depending in USA). It'll take quite a bit of court cases to win your rights back

> In 2010, its stock price was $20 and by 2017 had risen to $380 a share, yet Tesla reported a loss of $4.3 billion. How is this possible? The only way to explain this bizarre scenario is to recognize that the market is not efficient

I will pass on buying/reading that book based on this excerpt alone.

I am far away from a tesla fan (I actively encourage my friends/family to not buy teslas, or invest in tesla, etc), but saying "the only way to explain this" is pretty unbelievable.
This is a really good point. I am reading "The Hard Thing About Hard Things" and Horowitz discusses hiring a VP of Sales and the requirements of the role aren't necessarily to get their hands dirty but more so to liaise.

This is my thinking as well. There are surviving remnants of pre-Columbian pharmacopoeia for the Maya, Aztec, and Inca, as only three examples. I wonder if the ingredients and instructions for the brew were previously recorded in a similar manner, but then reduced to an oral tradition once religious people like Diego de Landa showed up and started burning anything that might have challenged the new gods.
