Why do people never consider Purchasing Power Parity when posting about the supposedly "low" wages of another area of the world? Other commentors here have said that 700 USD in Poland is about standard, if a little on the low side, but it's comparable to how game developers are paid less than other software engineers here in the US.
Not the OP, but I’m willing to bet this is just a copy paste of some generic boiler plate t&c with a bad search and replace applied.

I agree it’s not good though, and if that is the case, they should definitely pay to have some created for specifically for their site

Do you mean the "Mobiscribe Origin"? The original Mobiscribe (which is just called the "Mobiscribe", for anyone who's confused) has major lag issues and I wouldn't recommend the note-taking unless you want to wait 30+ seconds at times, switching between virtual notebooks.

I suspect it's partially due to bad coding that scales up poorly (the .note files have to re-render their vectors every time you turn the page, including completely erased parts), and it didn't pop up until I'd owned it for a while.
> So, what could be the source of this leftover glow? It’s possible that an abundance of dwarf galaxies in the relatively nearby universe lie just beyond detectability. Or the diffuse halos of stars that surround galaxies might be brighter than expected. There might be a population of rogue, intergalactic stars spread throughout the cosmos. Perhaps most intriguing, there may be many more faint, distant galaxies than theories suggest. This would mean that the smooth distribution of galaxy sizes measured to date rises steeply just beyond the faintest systems we can see – just as there are many more pebbles on a beach than rocks.
Yes exactly. In my country (Australia), the majority of employers don't pay for health insurance. Either you rely on the public health system, or you pay for private health cover yourself. So, losing my job, or changing jobs, has no direct impact on my health insurance (beyond the impact on my ability to afford private health cover if there is any reduction of income)
This paper would seem to put many others estimating the prevalence of astrobiological activity into question.

> If we believe in democracy, then allowing the economy to run by a patchwork of private command structures, with no internal democracy or accountability, should make our stomachs turn. Alexis de Tocqueville once asked; “can it be believed that the Democracy which has overthrown the Feudal system and vanquished Kings, will retreat before tradesmen and capitalists?”. The question he poses requires an address, and not all are shy to the challenge.

Specifically, from the article:

> New measurements of that weak background glow show that the unseen galaxies are less plentiful than some theoretical studies suggested, numbering only in the hundreds of billions rather than the previously reported two trillion galaxies.

We used to think that we couldn't see 90% of the galaxies/stars, this study proposes that we can't say about ½ of the galaxies/stars.
The Mindspan Diet, by Preston Estep has a lot to say about the Japanese diet. I think he makes many convincing arguments. Some key take-aways: Iron is very bad for longevity, refined carbs that aren't sugar and that have relatively low glycemic indexes (long grained rice and many pastas) are actually quite good (rice/pasta), meat bad but seafood ok, don't over do the saturated fat in general, drink moderate alcohol if at all.

I got a lot from How Not to Diet. I also got a lot from the Mindspan diet. I think the truth is out there, but as you have already put it, it's pretty bloody hard to get anything definitive. It's hard because it takes decades to prove anything and it's hard because food is big business and entrenched food production pipelines protect themselves against disruption the best they can (looking at you, sugar industry).
This is well put. I understand most of this now, but Talk about things I wish I understood in my early career. Along the lines of performance reviews, I've had HR try to negotiate demotions for my team members who were doing on target work. So when it comes to performance reviews, I always suspect that HR may have a metric on resource costs.

Utility of merino is not in them being super ultra durable. It is more that it is warm even when wet when you sweating and they are comfortable when exercising/hiking/whatever in bad weather conditions.
The idea that Humans are a disease is a much discredited one (notably popularized in The Matrix where the villain used it to describe humanity). First off planets are not alive, they are bodies of rock and metal and liquids. They cannot be infected and our presence has little impact on Earth itself. Our presence has only affected other life. And as the Moon and Mars are lifeless, there's nothing to damage.

And we're not "running" our planet.
Maybe they are trying to bring up multiple sites (ie. AWS regions) for redundancy. If you have 10 "regions" then maybe hardware requirements look a bit more reasonable (7-10 DB servers each, etc.)
That is true, and is also a big reason why around here even pre-Covid smaller shops (cafes etc) have been going cash-free (their other being they hate bing robbed). The big exception is always the barber shops.

The new data is based on observations of the luminosity of deep space images from the New Horizons program, which is outside the inner solar system. The older estimate was based on Hubble images along with mathematical models to try to account for the glow of space dust.
Yeah I know that. Israel can be, at the same time, both the relatively fastest vaccinating country (relative to everyone else) and still be, in objective terms, slow.
Fantastic analogy.
It is surprising me that this is international news. There are panel discussions running.

Initial reaction to the title before reading the article: yes, and it's called Twitch.

I think this Tulpa thing is a really fascinating idea but not for treating loneliness unless people are truly locked in.

Now that we have the internet there are a lot of other ways to connect to people that I think are better.

I actually think it may be okay to talk to yourself as a tool for figuring things out. But I don't think that is a good way to relieve loneliness.

But as an example of the power of meditation, it seems interesting. Because normally these types of hallucinations only happen close to a dream state or while asleep. So if people can trigger them while awake that is pretty powerful.

I suspect it might involve entering a bit of a meditative state quickly though.

That's one of the interesting things about brain computer interfaces. Someday we may be able to directly tap in to these simulation capabilities in terms of more conscious control and also recording them.

Or maybe we will someday be able to do a sort of waking lucid dream with a computer display. So for example I could be looking at my code or whatever and visualizing a diagram that would be recorded by the computer.
Corporations are legally constituted. A society should be allowed to decide whether they want to grant corporations a license to operate or not and, if so, then under what conditions. After all, you can freely chose to accept the limitations of your corporate charter, or you can take a lovely hike without being granted one at all.

I don't think anybody is seriously suggesting that employees be able to do whatever they want without limit and still be entitled to a pay cheque from a corporation.

Just as nobody would suggest that some despicable organisation be granted a legal charter to perform some anti-social, destructive, or massively wasteful activities... (sarcasm alert!) :)

But I think that, despite taking different routes, we arrive at the same conclusion that, yes, there are also positive legislative actions that could be taken (healthcare, UBI, others) which would effectively incentivize decent corporate behaviour without needing to set specific new rules or limits.
Everything we’ve seen so far suggests they didn’t (don’t?) have the best tech people working for them, but they do have a lot of money at their disposal. This looks really over-provisioned compared to the reported size of their site, there is no caching layer that I can make out, I bet they are using those forty i3s to host user content as blobs in a database. If they added a couple varnish servers and moved the user content to S3 (or similar - you can get much better deals with the same api from other vendors) they could probably ditch > 90% of this.

When I was at Tumblr they also overbuilt a huge amount of infrastructure just because they had the investor money - they dropped something like 1.4 million on two Cisco routers, each one could probably handle all the traffic in South America - but you need two of them, right? They dropped another half million a year on four network engineers to manage the two routers, and they had nothing to do most of the time so they sat around staging gladiatorial contests between a couple turtles and whatever the pet shop had that day. I’m sure the users would have been outraged and canceled Tumblr if they knew that was going on.
This right here explains the last 15 years of the internet perfectly.

This is more about the invisible stars and galaxies, the ones too far to actually count, but whose lights just gives a faint glow to the darkness.
Why do you want to view the world like this? This kind of mindset puts you in a very weak position.

I look at it like this: I work for a company because it's a win-win. They need some work done, and I need money.

In fact, as a coder, the company is the one in the weak position. If I leave for another company, I can get paid the exact same amount instantly. They will have to get a new person, pay them the same, but first have to get them up to speed to get to the same productivity level as me. They lose, and I even might gain a raise. So they better make sure they don't piss me off.

If you have this kind of mindset, people can't fuck with you.

Take for example a manager that says "Hey, this customer expects it to go in production on Monday, so make sure you finish it this week, maybe do some weekend work". Now the problem is in your lap. What you do is you push that shit right back, so you tell your manager "Why did you promise this customer it will be finished on Monday? You're going to be in a lot of trouble when it isn't. Maybe next time check with the developers first about the time schedule, then you don't end up in situations like this again."

You have to educate your managers a bit.

I know that some people will respond "not every employee is in this position to make demands". Well, it's all about how valuable your skills are. Make sure you can do things that other people can't, and you put yourself in a position where you always have the option to go work for another company.

A company selling services to other companies, is not that different than a person selling services to companies.

Feudal system my ass.
Ask HN: Which software do you guys use for managing devices in rack
Hello HN,

Which software do you use to keep track of ~100 devices in couple of racks. Need to hold all the information related to the device (power, network uplink information, and anscilloriy information such as licenses/serial numberss etc). Network management software seem overkill for this. I don't need to have network discovery.
+1 to all the sibling replies. I’ll add the inspiration element from my experience:

Samin Nosrat is a fantastic teacher. She shares cooking through the lens of “why”. It’s the opposite of say, rote learning which, as a beginner, i’d always assumed “follow this recipe” was and so suffered indifference toward the world of cooking. I’ve never been good at following directions.

She’s the teacher that guides you to what you could not see because of false assumptions.

Cooking is now an endless exploration. There are foundational answers to “why” and though I’d call it an anti-recipe book, the second half is all recipes heh, but they are like seed ideas. You can practice one seed and explore yourself how to build upon it.

I made an herb salsa: citrus juice, herbs (i use cilantro), onion, salt, and oil. This is the ACID. You can then incorporate the other 3 however you wish. It makes me feel like a chef! I put it in eggs. and chicken. i’m still exploring. It takes time and care, but not “to get the right answer”, rather to develop your point of view. I look forward to it now. each meal is an opportunity to practice and explore. its my own creativity and art. i love it.
Sounds a lot like how I've learned cooking during my student time. It's fun experimenting with techniques until you understand how to extract a decent flavor out of each ingredient. I think this is why master chefs never stop learning, it's a really deep rabbit hole until you've perfected just one dish, repeatably.
> But i could see these instructions being useful for photoshop, lightroom, image magick, rendering software, video encoders, games physics etc. way beyond what their library offers.

Which they can, whether through the public library they offer or through one of their private frameworks.
People talk a lot about the costs of context switching, but not about how to reduce those costs. Instead they talk about reducing context switches, which is often unrealistic.

The cost of context switching can be reduced, and reducing it is one of the most important job skills and productivity gains you can get. It will also reduce your frustration.

Break up your mental model of what you are doing into smaller tasks. Compartmentalize. Encapsulate. If you are in the middle of something so intricate that you would forget what you were doing if you stepped away from it for a few minutes, persist that state somewhere outside your brain -- write it down!

Very few of us are in a position where we can lock ourselves away from others for hours of deep work at a time. So, focus on reducing the impact of the interruptions!

There's also the different family organization. My impression in Asia was that the elderly there spend a lot of time with their grandchildren, to the point where they cannot travel because they're on babysitting duty.

Many people feel younger after playing with kids. I wouldn't be surprised if it also affects you on a more chemical level, for example by triggering different methylation and thereby changing gene expressions.
I recently had to replace a Bosch washer because the crappy plastic pump was too annoying/messy to replace.

I wish Consumer Reports or someone would do teardowns each year of their recommended washers/dryers/dishwashers/etc to look for shitty but critical moving parts and rate them appropriately. Finding anything about how these items will fail is an exercise in frustration since model numbers are frequently shuffled around year to year for minor/non-existant feature "upgrades".

I actually don't care all that much about how great a washer or whatever is at cleaning so much as I care that I never have to think about servicing/replacing it.

Completely false. People buy and sell SAAS businesses all the time.

1. Sure, bad businesses exist. When they do, they're priced accordingly or just can't find a buyer.

2. It's called an exit for a reason. There are million reasons to exit (eg: Big life event, wanting to cash out and invest elsewhere, bored of the business, have other projects, etc, etc, etc.)

Just because someone is selling a business does not mean it's a bad business. I say this as someone who acquires and grows online (e-com) businesses as my primary wealth vehicle.

Yes, and in many case the 'civilians' were not affected, it was mostly professional armies and mercenaries.

The "popular/people's army" (armies of common folk) come later (though, of course, we have examples of it in the ancient world too, as well as examples where common folk to the short end of the stick during conflict. It was just not that common in feudal times).

Einstein was influenced by more than only philosophy, of course. A 1846 SciFi story ("Die Gestirne und die Weltgeschichte") about someone travelling faster than light (and thus being able to observe the past) fascinated him (he eventually would write the introduction for a reprint).

On the other hand, established philosophy was very sceptical of his ideas, which collided spectacularly with Henri Bergson's ideas about time, now forgotten, but very fashionable then. This made relativity controversial for a long time (even after Eddington's 1919 observation of gravitational lensing during an eclipse) and probably was the reason that he never got a Nobel prize for it, but only for his much less groundbreaking work on photoelectricity.
Up until it died, the MacBook was super nice to work on, super fast in waking from sleep, and pleasant to use in all lighting conditions except direct sunlight obliquely incident to the screen (in which case the sunlight made all the dust and fingerprints on the screen extremely bright and opaque).

Obviously I can't run my intel-based VMs, but I was able to run all my web development toolchains: Django, Vuex/Flask, PHP, Postgres/MySQL/SQLite.

I also play games: mostly KSP. The 8GB RAM isn't enough for a small KSP save (a dozen flights, a few hundred parts), and I had to restart KSP every couple of hours due to memory pressure.

Best computer I've ever owned, but I've already killed one inside two weeks of owning it and the replacement is going out the same way: something in my environment or in the way I use it caused the M1 to kill itself.

It starts off as the occasional panic/reboot. Continues to manifest as any activity that requires touching the disk ends up locking the computer up for tens of seconds (spinning beachball cursor, but you can't move the cursor with trackpad or external mouse). Ultimately the MacBook just dies in the middle of whatever it was you were doing, and nothing you or the Apple Genius can do will convince it to boot again.
