Perhaps you misunderstand the word "science".

The proposal of testable hypotheses, rejected if the tests fail? How is that "dead to you"? Is there some reality in which you can continue to successfully live a life based on beliefs that are invalidated by failed tests? A reality in which "science is dead"?

There does seem to be a weird societal belief growing in something other than evidence-based reality. Let us know how it works out for you all, in a couple generations. Personally, I remain ... unconvinced.
I am very impressed and added it to my favorites immediately.
Interesting, I wonder how much of AirBnb YC still own, I guess they get diluted too?
Fantastic work - nearly perfect, as far as I can tell. Really brings me back to college days in the late 80s doing programming assignments on the computer lab VAX terminals. Maybe you can do the DECwriter font next :-)

Ask HN: Are all FAANG employees motivated only by promos (rather than vision)?
Been working a few years at a FAANG straight from college, and was surprised how everything that the teams do are geared towards performance reviews and getting promotions. Basically everyone is trying to launch something to show "impact" without much thought on whether that's actually the most pressing thing that the company/product area/user actually needs.

Are there companies where people are motivated by the company's vision or impact on humanity?

No, not really. This is kind of a "converts mistake," in that they assume that the religion they convert to is only the educated, attractive apologists that won them over. The popular church venerates Padre Pio and really believes he could bilocate, manifested stigmata, and that you can pray to him for healing.

Happens with orthodoxy too, a lot of people get a rude awakening when they actually go into a Orthodox church and talk to people, aka "The Rod Dreher effect."

I've visited customers where we hit "build" and then wait about 15 minutes for an incremental build of a project.

Every day I was there they could have bought a faster machine with the amount of money they were paying me to wait for builds to complete. They were developing embedded software, so the "dogfooding their customer's machines" was non-sensical.
This is wired, I will call our internal Lark team to deal with it.
Async seperates the concurrency from the runtime completely. You have code that returns a Future, and creates more Futures along the way. None of this imposes any constraint on the runtime, except that you need some runtime to evaluate the future. But that runtime could be quite simple and execute in the current process/thread (cf. the CurrentThread runtime), meaning you don't need support for threads at all.

Contrast this with the thread model, where the runtime needs to create and destroy threads where the code asks for it. In other words, your program logic is mixed up with runtime considerations.

For a practical example, let's say you want to use rust to extend some C code to create a network client that calls back into the C code. What if the C code is not thread-safe? With async, no problem, just use the CurrentThread runtime. This is my use case, anyway.

As a concrete guideline I steep black tea for a little over 2 minutes. That's enough to get the flavor of the tea without it becoming bitter. If you want strong tea, use multiple tea bags or more leaves, but don't increase the steeping time.
I met James Gunn in 2014, when I was at a residential writing workshop at the Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas. That may have been the first year he wasn't helping lead part of the workshop, but he was still keeping an eye on things and talking with students. He was -- as the name of the center tells you -- a champion of the idea that science fiction was literature worthy of academic study, which was a pretty controversial take in the humanities for a long time (and still is in some quarters, I suspect). I still refer to some of the material he wrote for that workshop, too.
(I work at Notion)

We didn’t conclude anything as a validation of our UX - there is nothing in Notion that we consider “ideal” or even “finished”; we are painfully aware of how far we still have to go. There is just a lot of work to do for our small (but growing!) team.

I've heard that Comic Sans is accessible for dyslexics! But I don't have a source.
I'm doing something really similar, but creating a multi-resolution ICO.

inkscape icon.svg -w 64 -h 64 --export-type="png" --export-filename=- --export-area-page | convert - -define icon:auto-resize=64,32,24,16 favicon.ico

Pretty sure that it's more efficient to have multiple files but, whatever. Multiple favicons annoys me.
ouch thats pretty serious... So basically you need to power down an iPhone to get full security. Doesn't that take like 10 seconds and a swipe. Hardly reassuring if you need to lock it for sure in a hurry.

An engine with a high search depth makes great moves most of the time, but one with a low search depth makes really weirdly bad moves because it misses trivial combinations that go a bit deeper than it looks. So low-difficulty chess programs tend to be very unsatisfying to play against.

Something I have always been interested in trying is writing a chess engine that makes human-like moves. So the evaluation function would try to emulate what a human would do, maybe with a few depths of evaluation, instead of playing accurate moves that never miss simple combinations.
Yep and then you get the 2000's brain that can't focus on a thing for more than a few minutes at a time.

This sounds pretty nice, how would you say it stacks up against YubiHSM? Can it be cheaper?

We shipped an application recently where groups of users use hardware keys to unlock sensitive information.

We were able to use FortifyApp (from PeculiarVentures) in conjunction with "regular" Yubikeys acting in PIV (smart card) mode. We seriously considered the YubiHSM instead with different shim software but it was really quite expensive when you need 1 per operator.

The other thing which would be a "must" for commercial uses (I think, anyway) would be supporting standard PKCS11 APIs. The API is... not that great, but it's the only thing that saves you from rewrites every hardware generation.

Would that be on the roadmap? If not, what's the interface between host(s) & hsm?

Beijing launches antitrust investigation into Alibaba
Rounds of investment and acquisition are both complex transactions. The simple way to think about it is that when a VC or other investor invests in a company the company creates new shares that are issued to the investor.

So a company might be incorporated with 10 shares that are all issued to the founder, then the company might take $10k investment and create another 5 shares that are issued to the investor.

The founder still owns her original 10 shares, but the total number of shares in the company are now 15, so she now owns 67% of the company, not 100%. The investor has 5 new shares (33% of the company) and the company is valued at 3x what the investor paid ($30k).

Later the investor decides to buy the whole company, so they offer $40k to the founder for her shares (the company has doubled in value). No new shares are created, it's just a change in ownership of existing shares.

So if the number of shares issued has increased the money goes to the company, if it's just shares changing hands then the money goes to the shareholder(s).

When you sell shares you pay personal income tax. In the US that means federal (long- or short-term capital gains depending on how long you owned the shares), state, and local taxes.

Often the company rules prohibit the sale of shares pre-IPO outside some kind of merger/acquisition approved by the board. There may be different classes of shares that have different voting rights. Shareholders don't control a company, the board of directors controls the company and decides when to issues more shares.

If the founder of the company either sells enough shares, or allows the board to issue enough shares, that they no longer hold a majority of the voting rights then the other shareholders can replace the board of directors who can do whatever they want to the company.

It's almost always good to have some period of no contact. It takes time and space to sort out difficult emotions after a breakup. Seeing the object of those emotions impedes that process.

Friendship after that is possible, but will undoubtedly be a complex relationship that will take much attention and care to manage. Most of the time one (or several) simpler relationships will be better for all parties. Complete radio silence isn't the requirement, and lack of contact isn't the goal; it's a means.
It seems like for a decade now a product appears that offers reasonable security promises or reasonable feature promises. In either case it's a ticking clock before it can no longer be self sustained and ads creep in one by one.

Not related but this has trigger me thinking: for some reason, I really enjoy old things, and new things, but not changing things. I really like things as they are, and learn new things when needed. I don't like a static type checked python when I write a python script. if I need static type checking, I probably just use a different language. I am pretty happy to develop in Python and convert to C++ if needed for machine learning projects (maybe python interface for C++ library)
I am working on an open source framework which connects nodes for collaboration and p2p transfer.

> still pay humans to DJ that know more about music then, me with good enough programming skills that even if they play a song I don’t really care about, it is played in a context where I don’t mind listening to it.

Sure, and that's what Spotify IS doing, only they can do it for literally any song/artist/genre, instead of just the mainstream ones. If the RIAA wants to give me some melancholy lofi during my melancholy lofi listening, I don't really mind. I don't have to sit through an Imagine Dragons song, which is the radio alternative
Cant ask for much more with a biography like that. A life well lived doing what he loved to the end, with many moments of success.
I think it's apparent that OP wants to disallow editing but allow commenting (see quotes down below). Notion provides exactly this feature when you share a doc but OP seems to have missed it and instead uses "lock a document" to do what he wants, which created all the problems in the first two sections. This feature is easy to find and is similar to what Google docs offers and so fairly learnable.

> First thing you learn when getting used to Notion is that every page you share should be locked from editing!

> The next problem with edit lock is that you can't unlock the page just for you. So you are a good user of Notion and keep all pages locked from editing. But every time you want to modify a page, you unlock it and everyone can (unintentionally) modify it while you're editing.

> Adding or editing content isn't the only case when you need your page to be unlocked. It is impossible to add comments on locked page.

^^^
These quotes are all wrong. You don't lock your document. When you share a doc, configure the access rights (edit/comment/view only, similar to what you do when sharing a Google doc).
More like Boston. Though of all the places I’ve driven it’s D.C. that really leaves me wondering WTF people were thinking when they designed some of the intersections - multiple u-turn lanes connecting to different streets in the opposite direction, reversing the traffic flow through the intersections, lanes turning across other lanes, bisected roundabouts, roundabouts with traffic lights every 22 degrees, etc.
Right, but depending on the tokio version (maybe) using block_on results in a hang or panic. I’ll see if futures_lite is any different, but I think it’s mostly on tokio’s side.

Exactly, I love the wittiness in writing. But wonder if the AI responds similarly to other users.
Very interesting! What pricing do you have in mind? This appears more featureful than USB HSMs (like Yubico's) that go for <$1000. I'm not sure that I'd like to use a RPI for something like this but I'm guessing that the module could be transferred to another RPI if the first one dies? Does the module have power protection to survive a surge from the RPI?
Telegram has similar "Saved Messages" feature.
...well, it's essentially a primer for mildly autistic and very smart people to deal with modern life outside of their narrow fields, and most of it is the kind of advice the average grandmother would give someone if they asked her.

I recommend the app Mick Tagger for the drag process. Makes it easier and keeps you in the zone with programming instead of having to fiddle with a song and playlist.
> Are there companies where people are motivated by the company's vision or impact on humanity?

Check out any relatively young startup unable to pay FAANG salaries and you’ll find people who are there because they actually care about the work. You’ll also find people who are there purely for the potential upside when/if the company exists.

I think what you’re really trying to ask is: Are we all destined to end up jaded by the tech industry and in turn end up trying to maximize our salaries in order to get out as quickly as possible?

So far the only place where I have seen most of the employees give a damn are companies that hire mostly senior people, that pay above market and that are fully bootstrapped, so they don’t offer stock/options.

Once you reach a “senior role”, you’re going to be getting compensated well enough that slaving to squeeze a little extra money every year is just not a great return on that investment. So you either show up and just do work that you’re happy with and find fulfilling or you leave and build your thing.

38" Ultrawide with Thunderbolt 3. Got rid of a ton of wires and the ugly hub on my desk. I no longer deal with random glitches that require restarting my computer to fix. It's just one seamless screen that makes my desk look clean and uncluttered. With one cable it charges my laptop while docked, provides audio and video, and carries USB signal from any USB devices plugged into the monitor (just a dongle for my keyboard/mouse). I'm in love with it.
From the article:

However, as the lawsuit alleges, Ring was hacked in 2019
– meaning the stolen credentials from that breach may have
been used to get into users’ cameras. That means the hacks
that Ring has allegedly blamed on customers may have been
caused by Ring itself.

So putting it down to "dumb users doing dumb things" seems pretty wrong.

There was also that XEDOS, that never officially saw the light of day. But some of those feature apparently made it into MS-DOS 2.x and appear as those *nix-like features that DOS had from 2.0+.

The big question is why hasn’t Russia and China etc made a big deal about being hacked all the time? Are they in a similar arrangement to never talk about it either?

The US selectively acts with outrage but mainly when it hits normal civilians, or more likely, megacorps. But also mainly when contractor infosec companies are the ones who detected and promote that fact as a business/marketing goal.

Snowden showed evidence of some 5eyes economic espionage when they hit Brazil’s oil industry with the help of Canadian intel community so the ‘only government assets arxxe fair game’ thing also is hard to believe. [1]

There's probably a Russian or Chinese engineer who has seen the crazy stuff the NSA (and their own orgs minus compartmentalization which Snowden suffered heavily from and which they are ext=a.

Thanks for the report. I am surprised it takes 30+ seconds just to prepare the images, but I haven’t looked deeply to estimate what I would actually expect. It looks like you could parallelize the imagemagick commands though (unless it already is and I just don’t understand the Python.)
Simply by grouping clients into rooms by their public IP.

> You can be discovered by everyone on this network

Assumption here being that the devices on the same network are all NAT'd behind the same public IP, which usually holds true.

See the server code for designating rooms & peers:
https://github.com/RobinLinus/snapdrop/blob/master/server/in...

Can also test that there is no "discovery" beyond public IP grouping by turning off wifi on your mobile and joining from mobile network.
Do you really need to "lock" it as in OP? When you share you get the option to choose whether the person being shared can edit, comment or duplicate. If you disallow sharee editing, you can still edit your document.
This bothers me a lot too. Notion refreshes on the next navigation after we deploy an update. We constantly deploy our internal dog food environment - so for me this happens constantly throughout the day. We should try to persist sidebar state like we do for toggle list expand/collapse inside the page.

The alternatives seem to be "make your address visible to the world" or "pay us for an ad". Requiring address verification, and keeping that between google and the business in question, would probably be an acceptable middle ground for this business.
I'd like a better definition of "browsing history" from Apple. Currently it's: "Information about content the user has viewed that is not part of the app, such as websites" and I'd understand that as "has access to browsing history of wkwebview or uiwebview embedded in the app".

Is anyone else tired of this worn-out canard? It seems like every message in my LinkedIn inbox is from some company "democratizing" this or that nowadays. Any tech company aspiring to a large customer base now makes a generic claim to liberating the masses as well.
Can an SVG (or similar) change design at different scales? It seems like at least a good portion of the challenges described in this article would be solved if so.

And it seems like a solution to excessive aliasing (in the sense of a dark thin line rendering as a not-so-dark double-wide line) could be to round the desired size down to the nearest known-good size and pad the edges with negative space.
