Well, TIL I'm a fucking hero for being a decent human being who's open to new ideas.

See, if the CEO had told him to fuck off, that would have been typical, subhuman behavior by someone who sees another human as beneath him.

No, that CEO doesn't get a pat on the back for doing what anyone with an ounce of empathy would do in the same situation, especially because he presumably introduced the "act like an owner" initiative exactly because he wanted someone to call him up, just like the janitor did.

Why fetishize the CEO here, when it was the janitor with the idea, he who spent years learning company operations, he who picked up the phone, and he who went to the public library to study marketing in preparation for the big meeting?
Psycho Pass is a straight-up dystopia, in my view.
Apply the same question to humans. People have empathy.
Breed affects this. We have large dogs (Irish Wolfhound and Great Dane) and it’s recommended not to neuter until the bone plates have fused — about 23 months. So I waited and did it pretty much as soon as possible. Smaller dogs can supposedly be done sooner.

Vets will neuter cats at six weeks which seems incredibly young, but “it’s fine”.

As far as I can tell there isn’t much actual science on this.

In my experience the best effect is on male cats — they become very sweet and friendly.

NoSQL is very much like the databases that were around in the 1960s ("navigational" databases, nested sets of key-value pairs). E. F. Codd proposed a database of tables (which he, a mathematician, called "relations") to solve a number of problems that these primitive databases were having, one of which was speed.
It's also 5 miles from LA county, so wages should be halfway competitive.
This seems quite subjective - I have worked with services like these and would probably call that SOA where you need to split code concerns along domain boundaries.

In the example above, I would probably use cloud functions or a distributed actor system.

Perfect, a microservice (perhaps just service?) can be whatever you want it to be, and I don't see any reason why you shouldn't split code along technical boundaries if it somehow improves your software
But according to the article, most arrests happened in connection with Black Lives Matter protests. It seems equally plausible that more people than ever try to evade arrest by claiming they are journalists.

Not really. The first amendment protects freedom of the press as well as freedom of assembly. Arresting protestors has a similar chilling effect on speech.
Racism is singling out white people as the source of all evil, and then backing it up with statistics which don’t tell the whole story.

Does it matter? Is negative stereotyping somehow better when applied to a nationality rather than a "race"?
It is by necessity. (my building has this as well). Lots of old apartments in NYC have thin floors, where you can hear your neighbor's steps. Having a large dog jumping up and down all day, is a major nuisance. Cats are much quitter.
If you can't even get refunds when a game doesn't work as advertized or is not fit for purpose (Cyberpunk isn't on the Switch for obvious reasons, but it would be an example of a game not being fit for purpose) this would absolutely be illegal in Australia and the government will come after them.
It's not so much the ladders that suck. It's the fact that you have to step on people to get past a certain level that's the toxic dynamic.

And, as far as boot licking goes, that's easy to explain. People are under the delusion that if they suck up to the boss enough, eventually they can be the boss. That's wrong on so many levels, but the easiest one to see is that for every N employees at any level of the corporate hierarchy, it only makes sense for there to be at most, say, N/4, or N/10, or, generally, N/k (k > 1) people at the next level. So, your chances of rising further up the ladder decrease the further you go up, provided you stay at the same organization.

That's actually the way it works in general, except that there are a lot of organizations out there; the hierarchy cuts off at a level before it becomes literally impossible to advance; and, even if that fails, one can start one's own organization, place themselves at the top, and then take on the challenge of building that organization to meaningful levels.

But, really, it all amounts to the delusion the bottom 90% of the ladder has that they can eventually join the top 1%, if only they work hard enough! You know, as if it were literally even possible to work enough hours at any reasonable wage to become a billionaire or something. That's the real reason.
I only mentioned pit bulls because OP said that shelter had 130 unadopted pit bulls.

Whether or not they're statistically more aggressive than other dogs of the same size and socialization, that's a debate that'll get me a ton of downvotes here regardless of how I answer, so I'll pass on that one.
I saw a quote recently along the lines of "a scientist is someone working on something they know nothing about; an engineer is someone working on something they know everything about." I think the project started out as a science project and is moving the direction of an engineering project. A totally outside perspective—I haven't checked it out in a while.
Even if his view assumes that, wouldn't assuming otherwise be also wrong? Why should we think that most people dying have carefully analyzed their entire life, and even if they did, why should we assume they are correct?

I'm looking forward to the YC company that builds out Amazon's infra but doesn't sell any of it's own products.

This is possible, I think because:

1) Someone has done it, and there's a model to copy.
2) Investors know this - SoftBank etc. make bets at this scale
3) It actually won't take 'Amazon scale' to compete with Amazon. You don't need 500 fulfillment centres across the US.
4) UPS and FedEx are afraid and strategic partnerships there may help solve the last mile problem.

Shopify is well positioned to do this, and possibly working on something like this, but it will be a test of them because it may not be in their cultural DNA. 'Physicality' is really a hard thing for software companies to deal with, even the best ones.
I tried going this route a few weeks ago. There's a few pretty big problems with current phone-based solutions:

- You need to fiddle with your phone (which is probably mounted to a monitor?) any time you want to turn on your webcam

- There's a perceptible lag on the final video, not ideal

- Phone needs an external power source, charging-over-USB usually isn't enough to power a phone with an always-on camera

- The phone will get hot, as it's not designed to run camera constantly

- For Android, your best option is to stream video over USB, which means enabling ADB and developer settings, which is inherently insecure. It also makes the charging problem above trickier, as phones usually only have the one port.

Honestly the best phone-based solution right now is to join the meeting twice - once on your personal phone for sending video, and once on your computer for sending/receiving audio/screenshares.

The report compares the number of arrests in 2020 -- a year that saw the largest number of huge protests in decades-- to the number of arrests in 2019--which contained nothing approaching the number, scale, or sheer chaos of the George Floyd protests.

This might indicate that journalists are under attack. But it seems more likely that some tiny percentage of journalists at a given protest are arrested at any given protests, and that in years with more protesting, more journalists will be arrested. Crank up the number of events, and you crank up the number of arrests.

In fact, their posted numbers track quite closely with this wiki data on size of protests in a given year [0][1].

2020 - 20,000,000 protesters - 181 arrests
2019 - No protests indicated - 9 arrests
2018 - 3,500,000 protesters - 11 arrests
2017 - 6,600,000 protesters - 38 arrests

The increase in 2020 is out of proportion with the other years, but then the marches in 2017 & 2018 were generic, peaceful protests, while the George Floyd protests where chaotic (as evidenced by the resulting 2 Billion in property damage)[2]

I'm sorry this is nuts. Who is taking this chap seriously?

Snowflake documentation notes "Snowflake supports defining and maintaining constraints, but does not enforce them.". So it is possible that Snowflake users can get inaccurate analytic results from accidentally duplicated data. How can a product that can produce inaccuracy be a killer? Or, analytics users don't care about analytics accuracy???
I liked the design of V and gave it a try. I quit paying attention when I realized almost nothing worked like it was supposed to. Even hello world was difficult due to needing to configure all sorts of stuff to get tcc and configure it to compile correctly.
$4.25, but close enough.
The trouble is that there's a torrential flood of information coming at you as a CEO.

You have to be selective with where you sample your information. Sometimes this filter is too strict (only listening to VP's), but if your filter is too loose then you will spend your days drowning in information that might not be all that useful
Whats the punchline?
I don’t think this changes whether a company decides to go public or not. This mostly helps “hot” private companies, mostly in tech, go public in a way that gives shareholders a chance to sell more shares on Day 1 and prevent bankers and investment banking clients from locking in an immediate return from a pop due to a mispricing at a price that is not available to other public investors.
The point of the "bad apples" metaphor is that it corrupts everything.
That's an odd thing to crack down on. Does it really hint at food security concerns, or is there a deeper cultural phenomenon involved?
It rather smashed their attempt to economically open up Saudi Arabia to new forms of investment, at least for a decade. MBS had tried to set up a whirlwind effort to establish a 'new' Saudi Arabia and was spending a lot of money and effort to lure large investors to partner with. His 2018 tour of Silicon Valley, meeting with prominent tech players, wouldn't be possible post Khashoggi, those people stopped taking meetings with MBS afterward. Eventually the potentcy of that story will fade of course.

Moxie’s tweet on Cellebrite’s claims is the best:

This (was!) an article about "advanced techniques" Cellebrite uses to decode a Signal message db... on an unlocked Android device! They could have also just opened the app to look at the messages.

The whole article read like amateur hour, which is I assume why they removed it.

If you have customers with servers, then surely (hopefully) someone remotely technical manages them but I've found that technical expertise varies greatly and in my experience not many customers have interest in taking on the install/maintenance of said software.

You basically need something as easy to install (and update) as Google Chrome or you have to do the install and maintenance yourself (trust me on this, it's a huge time suck and customers can have all kinds of weird setups).

My "favorite" memory was a customer who ignored our request for a dedicated VM to install our web software onto. They neglected to tell us that this system already had a service running that used port 80/443 and somehow we were able to get through our install and take over that port without breaking the application but one day the server rebooted and our app got the ports before the other app. What was that app? It was their access control software that let people enter the building...
whoops!

Oh please, the point is someone posted a story! You don't need to say "it's important to look at all the people who didn't make it"

It's not! It is literally the furthest thing from important in the comment section for that story! Certainly not in such an open ended way!

It's the laziest form of concern-baiting.

And don't project your own little weird need to "own" people like your comment is trying too hard to do onto me, I'm pointing out something that should be obvious: it's easy to go "what about the other guys" but not every story needs to be about "the other guys"

The OP said reverse vesting. Doesn't that mean he does own all his shares now? The company just has the right to buy them back if he leaves (and the cliff is when the percentage they can buy back starts decreasing from 100%).

The crux of the article:

As the revelations from leaks of information from Edward Snowden made plain, the United States regularly penetrates foreign governmental computer systems on a massive scale, often (as in the Russia hack) with the unwitting assistance of the private sector, for purposes of spying. It is almost certainly the world’s leader in this practice, probably by a lot. The Snowden documents suggested as much, as does the NSA’s probable budget. In 2016, after noting “problems with cyber intrusions from Russia,” Obama boasted that the United States has “more capacity than anybody … offensively.”

Because of its own practices, the U.S. government has traditionally accepted the legitimacy of foreign governmental electronic spying in U.S. government networks. After the notorious Chinese hack of the Office of Personnel Management database, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said: “You have to kind of salute the Chinese for what they did. If we had the opportunity to do that, I don't think we'd hesitate for a minute.” The same Russian agency that appears to have carried out the hack revealed this week also hacked into unclassified emails in the White House and Defense and State Departments in 2014-2015. The Obama administration deemed it traditional espionage and did not retaliate. “It was information collection, which is what nation states—including the United States—do,” said Obama administration cybersecurity coordinator Michael Daniel this week.

And pitbulls are stronger than the average human adult.

Many of those videos show strong adults, sometimes multiple of them, and they can't overtake a single angry pitbull even when using blunt objects to hit it. Multiple children get mauled and killed by pitbulls every single month in the US alone. From the reported data, pitbulls are statistically more dangerous than any other breed.

An angry small dog can only do so much harm before getting a single kick, vs a pitbull. That's why the UK banned them.
P.D.Q. would definitely be cheating. The one I didn't immediately remember was J.C.
Couple questions about channels:

1. Will they be as heavy as Go's ? Go has 2 mutexes and some other fluff
2. Are they "close-safe" like, if I send something to the channel, and it is nil or closed, will it panic crash or stuck forever like Go does, or V is trying to be "panic-free"? Will "prohibited" operation return an error or panic/stuck?
3. If channels are closeable, will I be able to close them twice without panic (closing closed door might creak, but IMHO should not burn the house down...)

(At some point in the past I did suggest adding an error to channel operations so it will not panic if I am ready to intercept an error, but that was rejected)

>I have had a 27" 4K monitor for a while but it was just too small at 100% scaling, and at 150% scaling some things looked naff. Prefer the 1440p at that resolution.

That's what we say too. 27" 4K monitor is too small at 100% scaling, while too small at 50% scaling (pixel-doubling hi-dpi mode).

That's why the idea is to have a 5K at 50% scaling (so everything is pixel-doubled on each axis, and a pixel becomes 4 pixels, doubling the detail you see).
The SEC is clearly suing Ripple the company here. We’re all talking about this part of your comment, which doesn’t really disagree with the other comments:

> whole thing turns in to a scam

Ironically, the narrative that Ripple the project was unrelated to Ripple, the scammy company, was also frequently used to hype XRP in the early days.

It was a convenient way to give two narratives to the same cryptocurrency. People could either choose to believe in the Ripple (the company) banking system, or they could choose to believe in Ripple (the project, the technology). Win-win for speculators.
So, the first thing I just want to say, is I hadn't seen text.npr.org, and I absolutely love it! the simplicity is a breath of fresh air. I'm going to donate to NPR simply on the strength of that!

That's $18.52 an hour in today's dollars. The average pay for a janitor today is closer to $12 an hour. In fact, just a few years after 1976, janitors' wages (at least in LA) started falling sharply below the cost of living: https://socialjusticehistory.org/lalabor/workingla/archives/...

The fact that our economic system worked for him does not mean that it works for the vast majority of people in similar jobs. It's quite likely that some of his colleagues are now making less money (in real terms) than they were in the 70s.
> The FSF is too dogmatic.

I disagree. They have a moral value system, and they adhere to it. Just like (say) Roman Catholicism.

The FSF's point of view is that by providing repositories (which make installing a program a single command-line or a few GUI-clicks away) that's not functionally different from that being a part of the operating system. So providing repositories of nonfree software is functionally equivalent to including that software in the OS itself.

And to have software freedom, then all the software on a machine must respect the user's freedom; i.e. be free software.
I definitely read that as a joke. Like...'my dog wasn't even attracted to the Shih Tzu anyway!'.
Ask HN: Request for tips on self hosting markdown files
I have a good collection of notes in Microsoft OneNote. I have been thinking of moving all those into a more open format. As of now, I am thinking of going with markdown.

For exporting the OneNote notes, I tried https://github.com/SjoerdV/ConvertOneNote2MarkDown. That seems to do the job, though I will have to spend some time reformatting it.

For editing the files, I will most likely use VSCode (may be with Dendron) or Typora or Zettlr.

Next thing to figure out is where do I host this. I have been experimenting with a couple of self hosted solutions such as Gitea & NextCloud with raspberry pi. I would like to access the notes from my phone (over OpenVPN or Wireguard).

Another very important requirement is search. With OneNote, I can just type in words and get results instantly. Gitea doesn't seem to support search. NextCloud & Gitlab seems to need ElasticSearch (which slowed down my Pi a lot). ElasticSearch seems overkill for this.

What kind of self hosted solution would you recommend that will allow me to

1. access the notes from mobile over VPN

2. provide full text search across all files (markdown files as well as source code) from both mobile as well as laptop.

If you have any other suggestions, please share them as well.
