Most of them have no effective way of automating their work.

Every piece of software (Excel? Word? Outlook? Autocad? Photoshop?) has its own system of automation if it has one at all, with many of the skills complicated to learn on one hand, and not transferable on the other. On tablets, automation is essentially nonexistent.

Whereas on Unix, there's a mostly-unified system of automation (shell), with mostly transferable knowledge.

If there is nothing in your work that benefits from automation, you wouldn't care. But you'd also be rather special, IME - most people spend a lot of time on recurring and automatable actions they gain no benefit from repeating manually.
This really should be built into every OS or DE at this point.

I don't put sim cards in my phones anymore, and instead use a portable LTE VPN travel router (which runs OpenWRT, on which I have root) because of the things I learned over the last decade from apps like this.

There should be per-host, per-app permissions in any OS that claims to care about privacy, just as Apple recently added per-directory, per-app permissions to fight ransomware.
I imagine because it _is weird_ to request employees to anonymize in public to prevent potential violence against the employees.

Generally when large funds like Berkshire hold cash it's because they're expecting a downturn and want to snap up assets on the cheap.

Twitter is still up significantly from just one year ago. Investors expect the odd blip, and this isn't the only one in the last 6 months. Long term they've done well, so they're happy. They're not going to start asking questions unless this turns into a long-term downward trend.

hobbled how?

For me, the form factor of a battery powered lazy person's vehicle is not yet perfected, and they should be more akin to a sit-down vespa scooter than the current scooters.

The centre of mass is just too high, the wheels too small.

They should also be restricted to roads - as a cyclist I've never seen one ridden safely in a bike path, and I don't think standing allows for quick enough braking for the average user.

Not to mention that in my country, outside of a few city specific rental deals, all scooters are illegal for use in public - so literally everyone on one is a dangerous criminal.
Mine too. And I tried the Signal video calls the first time with her, they work much better than Zoom or Jitsi! And she already knows how to use the app and I could uninstall WhatsApp. m
This article sort of skipped over the actual "gamma" part.

When the banks buy stocks to hedge their calls, they push the price up. Why does that create a feedback loop?

Because the price going up makes each call more risky, which means they need to buy more stock for each call on their books (including the ones they already hedged).

That effect, the relationship between the price of the underlying and how much you hedge, is "gamma".
Aside from it being explicitly against the HN guidelines to complain about downvotes, it's not possible for a commenter to downvote replies to their own comments, so your accusation is false.

That's because it's based on what scientists are researching. Scientists are working on objective maximizers. Maybe there are other possibilities, but people aren't working on them so they are not as relevant.

See what I'm saying? People are building paperclip optimizers in labs right now, and the only reason they aren't taking over the world just yet is because our attempts are so primitive.

I think a large part of the responsibility lies with president, because of the power of the office.

No?

As I said elsewhere, I think the mistake in reasoning when objecting here is that people seem to think

a) There could be a rigid objective framework for how this should work. A simple "manual" for how companies should act in these situations instead of having to rely on subjective or biased decisions.

or

b) In the absence of such a framework, companies must instead never take any action because it risks being arbitrary/subjective/...

I think a) is impossible and b) is less desireable than arbitrary/subjective actions like these. That's all.
And the elephant in the room: Gerrymandering.

You can find a positive spin for any event, despite how terrible it may be.
I wonder how long it will take to restore calm? People have been talking up armed insurrection in some form for as long as I've been on the internet. This stuff that used to appear in mass shooter manifestoes is now everywhere. And it's not a group with identifiable leaders, it's more a "stochastic terrorism" thing. Both "advocating revolution" and "owning weapons" are protected activities under the US constitution, so how do you identify the actual terrorists?
>the distributed nature of American election

>Their results come from the county level, of which there are over three thousand in the US, many of which are heavily Republican, and each of which is responsible for its own election setup, count, and verification.

>You'd have to convince tens if not hundreds of thousands of election officials and volunteers to participate and cover it up.

Tell that to Al Gore.

Our elections are so "distributed" that every presidential election in the past 50yr or so has comes down to a number of counties you can count on two hands in a number of states you can count on one hand. The election may be distributed but the results in the overwhelming majority of states is a foregone conclusion.

I don't see how anyone can call our (presidential) elections distributed with a straight face. Take Georgia, the example you picked. As usual the rural areas went red, the suburbs went a red or blue shade of purple and the city went blue. At the end of the day the question was whether there was enough blue in the city to exceed the red everywhere else. And this is why there's always a big argument over whether or not a fraction of a percent of inner city voters at the margin are being disfranchised by this or that policy. Basically every state goes down in this manner, albeit that in most of them the proportion between red voters and blue voters is different enough you can be reasonably sure of the results in advance. So the presidential election always comes down to a handful of city counties that will or won't flip their states red/blue based on turnout. (See also, why using gerrymandering to carve up cities to minimize or maximize their representation is such a big problem).

Our elections are "distributed" in name only.
The headline is currently "Internet Provider to Restrict Access to Facebook, Twitter to Customers Who Request It" which certainly makes it abundantly clear how this is a non-story.
> On one end, you have Netflix practically leading the field with the best of the best engineers and practices.

I don't really think users will care at all about this, though. They just want high quality content. The users and the their dollars will flock to the high quality content.

Netflix is feeling like H&M "fast fashion" where they churn out a bazillion low quality shows to throw everything against the wall and hope something sticks to keep people subscribing.

Meanwhile the entire field is getting diluted by other platforms popping up and customers are getting fatigued enough to pay for premium content only (HBO/Disney/ESPN) and then pirate everything else, imo.
I would hazard a guess that fewer people would read the article if the headline was, "Amazon Echo Flex: Microphone mute, real or fake? It's real."
Isn't it ironic that the US campaign against Huawei has created a series of highend phones that are completely free from:

OG hardware hacking?
I have an old laptop that I use to play with Linux and run my home server. It has an not so mainstream ATI integrated GPU and I had a difficult time configuring compton (with i3) to just look good and perform well. With wayland and latest mesa everything just works and is very snappy. It's not perfect though whenever I reboot my machine I have to put my display to sleep first just to make the display work (just shows a blank screen otherwise) but that's a problem with mesa though and nothing to do with wayland.

Ask HN:How do I find an appropriate way to get in touch with my target users？
Hi everyone. I’ve seen many who have great ambition and ideas, but can not achieve their goals for lack of technical skill, capital resource, or a good team. It is what I’m always thinking about how can I help those who have such issues.

Thus, I made a product (still in testing): Generally speaking, It's a no-code product, you can either create or join an organization to start the journey. Then you could gain access to the visual programming builder to design the back-end logic and front-end. It will end up be an application on your phone.

As I’m enthusiastic about blockchain and cryptocurrency, this product will be based on blockchain. This is what’s interesting about this product, because of the existence of cryptocurrency, you can motivate your users to interact with you more, or to form a tool to manage your community. However, this is also where contradiction appears, although this could mean more attraction to those who are interested in cryptocurrency, not everyone is into this. I hope this product could not be confined to small groups and help more ordinary entrepreneurs. I don’t know where I can gain access to people who might be interested in my product, any good advice?
Not weird, just .. different.

The really disappointing thing is that I've heard some medical staff get this advice to protect themselves from angry COVID-denyer protests outside hospitals.
> This is such a stupid take

> We as a society are going to have to figure out

What do you believe we are all suddenly going to figure out together? Society isn't some star trek utopia of perfect behavior. It's a complex beast that works or fails based on the regulations and modes of interaction available.

Sure enlightenment is a part of it - but to think thats the only part of the puzzle is incredibly naive.
No evidence of mass fraud is what I said, and arguably the majority of fraud and interference is from Republicans - gerrymandering including literally trying to dismantle the USPS.

Why did all of the judges throw out the cases brought forward to judges in different states? It's because they didn't present any evidence.

I find it fascinating that it's assumed if there's fraud it's to benefit Biden, and also that if Trump won then they'd consider the election fair.

Also, during recounts that did happen there were more votes for Biden that were added - which perhaps suggests there was fraud during counting in favour of Trump - however Trump's vote count went up too from what I remember, but the proportion was that Biden had more votes that were missed during the first count; I haven't looked into confirming this though.
This is terrorizing people all across the country. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it since 9/11. I actually think the impact is far greater because it’s all over the country. At least post 9/11, you didn’t need to worry so much if you lived outside of urban areas. Now you are seeing white nationalist militia groups holding some type of “protests” all over America. Yes, even in small towns. This is the very definition of terrorism and it’s quickly spreading.
I completely agree. This level of censorship is indicative of something.

I'll need help with understanding which corporate culture is not broken.

My naive view being beyond a certain size it's always broken. Just too many cooks in the kitchen.
I agree with this. Let's say for example you are one of the world's leading immunologists when a global pandemic breaks out. Going on TV because you "by definition want to appear on TV" is tautological, you could say that about anything on the list. A leading expert may see that they have a responsibility help lead the public, it's perfectly possible that want for media attention for personal fame is completely irrelevant. Want for media attention to help guide the course of a pandemic to a safer path qualifies as "because they wanted to appear on TV," but the GP reads uncharitably.
Ah yes I think you're right - easiest way to see it is to zoom out to 'all', and they all have roughly the same shape, i.e. of BTC not of the stock, since they're all relatively stable (!).

Could definitely be clearer though on landing IMO.
It's only fair, balkanization goes two ways, the likes of Twitter/Facebook can't be expected to be "invited" in everyone's houses when they censor almost all the opinions they see as politically non-advantageous to their bottom line.

Yes, that means that net neutrality is de facto dead, but I've started to realise it has been dead for quite some time now already.
> ...but this effect is very small in aggregate.

The monetary base grew by 25% and velocity of money is approaching 1.0. That isn't small, someone has an insane amount of money staring them in the face and they've done nothing to justify it.

This rather undermines the argument that the 2% inflation target is really there for the benefit of the bystanders. It looks like it is mainly for the benefit of the people enjoying the Cantillion effect.

Unless I suppose all the poor and middle-class people in the US are suddenly wealthy, I suppose. I havn't been keeping up with the stats in the last 6 months.
I don't support the Twitter/Facebook/YouTube/etc censorship at all.

With that established, I want to point out that the comment you responded to said there was no evidence of mass voter fraud.

I think it's impossible for a country the size of the USA to hold an election with literally zero cases of voter fraud.

The yardstick is whether there's evidence of voter fraud on a scale that could conceivably even remotely impact the results of the election. Of that, there is none.
As a developer of an application wich had end-to-end encryption for a decade now, I'm so sick of people constantly demanding e2ee without fully understanding what it is and what are the downsides of it.

The big irony is that strong promise of really good encryption works for them better than really good encryption and all the drawbacks in usability it brings.

> GIF is an irredeemably bad format that no one should ever use any more

IIRC there is no other option if you want to include animation in a GitHub readme, as it will only include image formats inline that way. Otherwise you could use a video, which for this content would likely be larger but would have the advantage of being able to not auto-play.

Of course "don't include animation at all" would be a valid opinion, though not one likely to meet with universal agreement.
Which portable trustworthy and can run openers?
Many people trust this "word of mouth" way of telling stories, but for those who know rhetorics this pattern should raise a warning. (it is not my intention to accuse, just doing some rhetoric deconstruction) The "so the teardown is correct" part is backwards. Calling the billionaire ceo by his first name tries to create an aura of personal knowledge. At the core it is an argumentum ab auctoritate. Honestly this is worse than "amazon said so" because it is veiled.
It is just common sense. If I wear clothing branded with my company's logo then I could be held accountable for my actions outside of work, even if I am doing the right thing and it is perceived to bring the company into disrepute, I could be disciplined or potentially fired.
No, the statement is that even within a theory there are things that are considered real and things that are just mathematical constructs that show up and need to be discarded or otherwise managed.

For example in mechanics the coordinate systems being used aren't "real" in a physical sense because you are free to choose things as you wish. But the force you calculate is very much a physical fact, a property of the real world.
And what sort of rates will you pay on those loans? Quite a bit more than 2%, I would imagine. And what happens to those loans if the price of Bitcoin falls dramatically, as it has done quite frequently?

It is both. Hardware-wise, many Mikrotik products are shipping with just 2x2 radio. Software-wise, even where hardware supports it, RouterOS doesn't support MU-MIMO and beam-forming (there is some preliminary support in the ROS7 beta, for selected chips). There are also some weird bugs, like when you have a client with Intel WiFi and it is unable to connect to VHT80 band... but all the other clients do not have such problem.

So in the end, for APs, I'm using Unifi.
> In that case, I would urge people to remain patient and avoid making conclusions and long term decisions based on this response. It’s likely things ease up once “calm” is restored.

Just like airport security theatre and the PATRIOT Act were eased up after 9/11?
One thing that is not often done, is to have bikes on a smaller parallel road. Often there is an attempt to cram everything on one big road, when there are perfectly fine residential roads next to the big road that just need connecting.
Same for the Amazon one.

Stop listening to Bitcoin maxis, but don't dismiss the ones working on bringing new improvements to crypto. To keep the analogy with religion, Maxis are fundamentalists that end up misrepresenting the core morals and the doctrine of its Church. Brushing off crypto due to Maxis is no different than thinking all of Christianity is invalid because of Westboro Baptists.

Perhaps - depends on the growth rate of the ISP and how many IPv4 addresses they already have (and how much money they are willing to spend to acquire more).

But the real fix is to push your ISP to deploy IPv6.
No need for the ISP to run carrier-grade NAT and you can host as many services at home as you want.
I really don't think Signal is going to dramatically improve on their feature set any time "soon". The gap between any feature Signal copied from Telegram is 2-3 years, they haven't exactly been known to be quick to respond to UI fixes and feature requests.

DHH will still claim majority of apps are just CRUD app (I agree on this) and Ruby Rails is sufficient. Hotwire (aka the magic) will always be updated to bridge the gap.

It's honestly mind-boggling how many people whine and complain about macOS not "letting" them do this or that when they can turn off virtually every one of their gripes in about two minutes.

The most egregious was someone complaining that /bin and other system folders are read-only [on systems under System Integrity Protection]. Surely anybody with a pressing desire to e.g. upgrade their bash install or any other thing that requires write access to those folders is also capable of figuring out how to turn off SIP?

If governments spending keeps increasing, you'll probably reach a point in which it won't be that unrealistic.

There are European states in which government overreach wrecked the economy so much that anti-establishment parties got elected.

You can see trump as one meager step in that direction. I think the natural conclusion, after seeing that things are not changing by voting mainstream parties, is to actually vote someone else.
> my generation strongly dislikes woke culture and people younger than me hates it with all their hearts, except for a rare few that is into it.

My nephew has a totally different take on this... he's graduating from UT Austin, and I know that's a very liberal campus, but he's also persona non grata, being a 22 year old straight white male who got his Dad's 9/11 G.I. Bill and grew up in thoroughly middle class / lower upper middle class areas for his entire life.

He had a bit of mini-breakdown when he and his girlfriend came to spend a weekend with me in Fort Worth around Christmastime. The constant barrage of "white men" being the source of the world's problems, and "recognize / check your privilege" when he would have discussions in classes over the past four years had really worn on him.
