Sorry I was unclear :) Maybe they would limit storage to 90% now, seeing that it increases complexity. Maybe I misunderstood the prior point though.

Yep. I watch everything on 1.5 speed these days and skip around like crazy due to this. YT is going to give me ADD.

There are brokers like interactive brokers that give you all options e.g. "free" or fixed price passing on full amount of rebates to you.
Robinhood’s own documentation for the greater part of last year explicitly stated they would automatically sell or execute your options within a 1 hour window of expiry.

I lost thousands when Robinhood prematurely executed my position ~100 minutes before market close. I was waiting for right before the hour window.

Of course, 10 minutes after they sold my position, it quadrupled in value. I even already had had a limit sell order on the books! They cancelled my order, and executed their own, without any notice, outside of their own documented window.

When I contacted support and pointed them to the docs, their reply was that it could be “anywhere from 60-90 minutes before close.” Here is their email [1]. I asked them to provide a link to where their documentation says such - they never responded. I followed up twice.

Such utter bullshit. Immediately switched to ETrade and have had a great experience. There is a nice representative who’s direct phone number I can call and always reach, she always answers, and gives me any info or help I need. She called me within a week of me opening the account just to say hi and walk me through my account settings.

Also, sure, ETrade will auto sell your position too - within 10 minutes of market close. That sounds a lot more like protecting my investment, than a 60-90min window used to drain retail investors of their expiring options.

Edit: this page [2] still says "about an hour" to define the auto-exercise window. Click on the "What happens" dropdown under the first header.

It was for a time. It's not like that anymore, although it is trending that way again in many cities (homicides are up 50%+ in many American cities this year).

Although to be fair, a lot of the crime is in areas the average HN user wouldn't be in. Most people are not worried about getting carjacked or mugged during their commute and have no reason to be. The US is a big place and problems that affect certain parts of it are usually not present throughout the whole country.
I think we need more than a reset button. We need, at a minimum, a "blacklist" feature.

I would love to be NOT have any video recommended to me that contains certain keywords in it's metadata. I simply don't care what I would miss out on if all videos with the word "Trump" anywhere in their metadata, for example, would simply never be served up for my perusal.

Even better would be some type of "whitelist" feature which only shows me stuff from my subscribed channels and their associated channels.
Yes, that is the primary motivation/intent of The type C connector and USB-C/TB.

It’s still early days so compatibility isn’t super yet, as this discussion shows. Also, being USB, there are many possible subsets and no such thing as a “universal cable”. The silicon is still immature and the analog issues are fiendishly complex.

The cheapo vendors will implement the minimal standard (or less). The higher end devices will be more compliant, but bugs remain (as I said, still early days).

But last year I switched to buying type C devices whenever I had the choice (even electric toothbrush) and so far it’s been fine.
How does it not also drive regular cells to death?
If I remember correctly, they blocked API access for one user because that user was violating the API usage terms, namely exporting Spotify's content (their playlists) to competing services. I actually though that was pretty reasonable of them.
Then we had different experiences. I am not claiming you are wrong and I don't appreciate you trying to discount our experiences.
To add to this: The same reasons we have weekly team meetings on a conference call for work.

Gonna back that up in any way?
Spotify is better than the competitors. HN is just filled with grumps who love to complain about everything.
By default, it's as good (or as bad) as email with secure transport. "Secret chats" are end-to-end encrypted, but it supports only one-to-one conversations. There is no group secret chat feature. Voice chat also being a group feature, would have the same transport level encryption as the default chats, I suppose.

I don't think it's a crazy idea, but the numbers here seem a bit hopeful. I don't think you're gonna get 100 people to pay $100 million for an earlier spot in the line. Or 1000 people to pay $10 million. Particularly because people with that amount of money to throw around (if you can pay $10 million for one vaccine, you are very very wealthy) know that they can most likely pull strings to get ahead in the line anyway. So at most, they are probably paying to jump ahead by just two or three months from where they will be anyway. (If you are young, healthy and rich, you probably don't care enough to pay these prices. If you are old and rich, you probably are gonna be not-too-far-back in the line anyway).
Totally agree with your assessment of Django in terms of its templating and SSR abilities. It's horrible and should be avoided at all costs.

However, the Django admin system is extremely powerful and saves you a HUGE amount of dev time. Every single saas product needs an admin interface from an operations point of view. I haven't seen anything out there that is better than Django Admin.
I thought this was satire after reading the headline.

But no, this is someone suggesting celebrities and billionaires should be the first people we protect.

In a healthy functioning society, we'd protect the most vulnerable first -- elderly, front line workers, grocery store workers, etc. And we'd find the funding to make that happen either by taxing the ultra wealthy or just printing money because it's a pandemic and they are relatively rare events and the cost to vaccinate everyone is relatively fixed.

We have plenty of elderly celebrities who could still be at the front of the line cheering on the vaccine.

The approach the author suggests seems like government with extra steps to me.
It's doing the opposite. Some of them have been reenactments, on closer inspection, which only fuel scepticism.
This seems very different to me than hiring researchers doing work in fields that directly impact your business and telling them their work will not be censored. And then censoring them from a position of power, since you now provide their paycheck.

Keep mind that this is a new, recently instituted process. During the interview process when these researchers were hired, this policy did not exist. Perhaps they were naive to believe that such a policy wouldn't be instituted later but I think that's a different discussion.
You're obviously correct for ITX, but I was surprised when I found out that (on larger boards) you can simply get a Thunderbolt PCIe card from Asus, Dell, etc. and it will just work. It appears that in many cases, the infamous THB_C header on mainboards doesn't serve any purpose.
Sooo, opiates have an anti-diarrhea action by slowing down the intestines/Bowel movements, which is why they cause constipation.

Loperamide is an opiate that acts locally (and probably via the bloodstream too) on the intestines, but doesn’t get into the brain, so you get the anti-diarrhea effects without pain relief/getting high/slow breathing of opiates.

Some randos on the internet believe that you could consume a bottle of loperamide and overcome that inability to get into the brain. In theory that’s true (since the brain barrier is actively pumping it back out and there’s gotta be a limit to that rejection), but I don’t think it’s worked out in practice other than causing massive constipation.

The article touches on this:

> In future studies it has to be explored, for example, how loperamide can be transported into the brain and cross the blood-brain barrier.
> Nanoparticles might be a feasible option.

But it remains to be seen what opiate-like effects it would have on the brain if it got through.

For a short-term treatment, this could be managed/mitigated. Mechanically (this machine will breathe for you while we knock out your drive to breathe) or chemically: an opiate-antagonist (naloxone infusion or naltrexone tablets). Whether this would counteract the effect of loperamide remains to be seen.

I also wonder what made loperamide special or if opiates in general would have the same effect. It would be interesting to see if long-term opiate users get this particular tumour less.
In paragraphs 8 and 9 the plan proposed includes descending tiers of priority/price down to about $25k.
I'm Australian but living in the UK -- it's common for Australians coming here to be shocked at how disgusting KFC is here. It really does seem like they're trying to make things dry and flavourless and use the wrong sauce for everything, the gulf in quality is really surprising for such a big company.
That, or allot some small percentage (5%) for people to bid on to jump the line. Open auction as you described, possibly with a minimum.

I made the same assumption about what the link was going to be about.

My solution to terrible music algorithms this year has been to, well, give up on them entirely, and go back to the world of curated music. When Google Play Music died, and YouTube Music left an even worse experience in its place, I was done. So now people curate my music instad of machines. Whether that's in the form of letting the artist curate it for me with albums, letting myself curate my favorites with playlists, or letting a DJ curate music discovery on a streaming radio station, I find that humans do it better.

College radio stations (and their streams) are great, by the way. I can't evangelize them enough. Minimal or no ads, and some of the most interesting and creative sets I've heard in my life.
But they were objectively better 1-2 years ago. E.g. violent crime is up significantly this year.
No. More like, researchers can do as they please, but if they're going to attack Google or be negative about something related to Google, then there's going to be a review and words will have be chosen carefully. There's a big difference.

I'd be a bit concerned about the hygiene though..
Yeah, but it's much cheaper to re-open your factory without vaccinating your workers and just threaten to fire anyone who has health concerns. That's how most places have been operating so far.

Do other parts stomp often? :) But true that can happen. Especially on non-ECC systems.

I didn't think about the hardware issues, hmm. I can't see how to do that, when the compiler guarantees get invalidated by hardware. Checks are also needed like in C? (assuming there are checks which do not get compiled out..)

I have such a different experience. Perhaps we use different bits of the service? I almost always listen to the Discovery Weekly playlist, and very often create radio statations for new tracks, which in turn show me more stuff I haven't listened to before.

>>The Ethereum foundation kept a huge stash from the pre-mine, so you'd have a hostile actor with a large position on your forked chain, enough to crash the price of any nascent chain.

This is completely false. The Ethereum Foundation has less than 0.5M ETH, or less than 1% of the total supply.
To make a fast website is rather easy, if you alone decide about it. But now think of a company, where marketing wants a specific corporate design, controlling wants 20 trackers, finance wants ads, etc. - and everything needs to work with whatever CMS was implemented 10 years ago. Now try to make all that into a fast website.
I'm in the middle of the book Days of Rage, which is about some of the violent protest movements in the 70s. Really amazing how many bombings there were back then too. Thousands per year in some cases IIRC. Most were small and did not do much damage or kill anyone however.
Bit-flips are a lot more common than people think as are read errors on drives. Surprisingly, usually a bit flipping here or there doesn't cause any real problems so they tend to go unnoticed. If your working with TBs of data using a checksumming filesystem like ZFS of BTRFS would certainly be recommended, but you should ALSO make sure your using ECC RAM. Checking the integrity of the data as it comes off the disk doesn't do you much good if a bit then flips while it's in memory.

Altman was referring to people being not willing to work long hours in tech; I am confident he was not referring to movers, janitors, immigrants who come from dire living conditions et similia, since I doubt he ever interacted with any of them for more than 5 minutes in his life.

I remember when reading the Away drama that I was stunned reading that customer service representative were making less than 50k in NYC and had to tolerate the verbal and emotional abuse of a power-tripping clueless executive for 12-14 hours a day. That's hard work for the dreams of others. And it is never the hard work, it is lack of agency and feeling one's fate depending on the mood of (often) lunatics.
In that case, we'd be talking about Taco Bell.

The prices suggested in this article are too high, even for the super rich. They have other forms of influence. They might have a golf buddy who knows the CEO of a pharma company who can get a few doses off the line for friends.

But, offering the middle/upper income class a $1000 chance to jump ahead could generate just as much money with a much larger population getting protection.

I'm not quite in the top 400k of wealth in the country, but I'm decently close, and I can say it's hard to picture paying 25k to skip the line. Nevermind that a lot of the wealthiest folks (older folks) are already at the front of the line due to their advanced age.
Five Strategies to Retain Women in Tech
~$25,000, sure. That's pocket change for some people. But this article is talking about payments of $10 to $100 million. And in any case, I'm not convinced that 400,000 people would pay $25k.
I disagree. Various populations are at greater risk. Unhoused people, for example, should get the vaccine before me. So should anyone who has to work on site somewhere. Parents and care givers who care for children, etc etc.

I work in tech, I work from home and can have stuff delivered. Put me at the end of the line.
It picked out Brendan Byrnes as one of my obscure artists, though he is probably one of the more popular microtonal artists. It was able to pick out my own band as one of my "obscure artists", so I don't think "too unpopular" is a thing for it, haha.

Yep, we have an SPA at work. It's not even small - around 2MB - but it loads, parses, and renders almost instantly (say <300ms - not bad for a complex app). However, in practice users don't get into the app for a couple of seconds. This is due to it making several slow network requests to check auth and load data before letting you in.

I have a WIP branch that caches things locally, but my boss tells me that the app is fast enough and I should be working on other things. And I'm loathe to sneak it in without proper testing as caching is something that has a tendency to break in horrible ways if you're not careful.

What this article doesn’t seem to realize is that they don’t have a seat at the table. If you haven’t been invited then you don’t count.

Look at how Stanford Medicine allocated its allocation of the vaccine. It allocated it to administrators first then apologized when it was exposed. What is left unsaid is that they never gave up their power to decide who gets the vaccine.

Have you heard of anyone giving up their place in line for the vaccine?
Not a single interview with someone who actually understands how the systems work, nor any reference to any studies that show any results, positive or negative. Not one single "hey, so we set up a terrain avoidance radar and blasted it with variations of 5G communication and guess what?" (my suspicion is the answer would be "no effect", but let's at least do the study, huh?)

Radar altimeters use vastly more power than anyone would waste on mere communication. They also don't depend on subtle variations in the signal to communicate. It's basically just listening for a return and measuring time-of-flight. Timing measure is more complicated, but doesn't depend on subtleties of the signal that could be easily interfered with. (Full disclosure: I've worked on Herc terrain-avoidance radar, but that was forty years ago.)

Note also that commercial aviation pilots don't use terrain avoidance radar in normal flight operations. It's an emergency system. If you're low enough to need it, you're supposed to have an airport in sight. If you start getting the "Terrain. Pull Up" warning, several things have already been going wrong for a while. If you blocked the TAWS system of a commercial airline in normal flight, it's unlikely they'd even know it. You'd have to wait around for a lost or damaged aircraft that was already about to crash, which is a pretty unrewarding hobby.

To be honest, I'd be surprised if the military didn't already have a pretty good idea how to spoof terrain avoidance radar, it would be the kind of thing that might be nice to have in a special operations toolkit. But I doubt it looks like sitting on the end of a runway with a cell phone. More like humping several car batteries, a dish antenna and a Halliburton case full of electronics to the top of a ridge. (Which, another thing: terrain avoidance radar is the opposite of stealthy, you wouldn't use it for special operations, especially when you have access to GPS, satellite maps and inertial navigation systems).

Even a 5G transmission from ground to geosynchronous orbit would be columnated by a dish, so would only interfere with a moving altimeter for a fraction of a second, and those systems are designed to handle transients. I'm not saying there isn't a potential issue, I'm saying you're not going to find out if you limit yourself to interviewing bureaucrats.
