People commenting on this topic need to understand the concept of Purchasing Power Parity [1]. A common example from The Economist is the Big Mac Index that compares the cost of a Big Mac in different economies, converted to USD.

One way of comparing your own purchasing power is to take a basket of goods and services that you use, including rent, power, local taxes (as an indication of local government services) and convert that to how long you have to work to earn that money, net of federal taxes.

People earn a lot of raw money in SV/FAANG but the cost of living is very high and the lifestyle of SV and surrounds may not be what you enjoy.
I was thinking that users would be able to add tags to each post, from a curated list of tags (StackOverflow-style), but if it's a GitHub project being posted, it would be useful to default to any tags that project has (Still allowing the user to change them tho)
I guess the interpreted the "opportunity" as "build a marketplace like these ones" instead of "those are marketplaces you can list your product on"?
My iPhone photos have implanted cartoon artifacts
I am hoping the wisdom of the crowds can point me in the right direction. I just noticed that my ancient iPhone (5 or 6?) started adding digital artifacts to photos it takes. These are tiny and easily ignored, as they just look like dust on the screen. Upon zooming in, it is clearly a purple cartoonish figure, kinda like a genie. I had a huge wtf moment today. Where can I find out more what is going on? I intend on replacing the phone right away.

In case you don't know it, it's also a TV show in Portugal:

It basically means "anything goes" in Portuguese... hence why the variety of uses for the phrase.

What if Google News picked a small set of the more cooperative Australian publishers to work with?

In order to handle the algorithm side of things, what if they deindex news in the primary Google search and notified of changes in just the Google News algorithms? Do the regulations not allow these solutions in some way, or is this being dramatised?

I don't mean to favour the regulations in any way. I'm just a bit skeptical of "shut down search altogether" being something Google would seriously consider in response to this threat.

This is incorrect. Signal desktop can continue to work without having Signal mobile active. My mobile phone is on airplane mode and is being charged at the moment, but I am on a call with my colleague using Signal desktop. They are on Signal mobile.
Post mortems should be published and easily accessible via status pages.[0] Otherwise, what’s the point? The parent wasn’t asking for advice; they were complaining that no post mortem was published via the expected channels. I agree with the parent: they shouldn’t have to contact support to get that information. If I’m paying for a service, generally, I want transparency without needing to hunt down info.

These priorities and expectations aren’t universal, but they’re common enough and perfectly reasonable.

Looking at those cockpit photos, I suddenly remember that I sat in F18 cockpit during one of the public military show. It is small, I barely fit into it, those pilots must be slim. Cockpit also looked a bit rundown/worn off, not sure the design itself or simply wear and tear.

In conclusion, it is a meh. So unlike the image portrayed in Top Gun novie.

I've done the same lifehack for many years now and it's been extraordinarily helpful. On Jan 1st or 2nd, I rotate all of my hangers so the hook is backwards on the bar (I do something similar for shoes, folded pants, etc.). The next Jan 1st or 2nd, any clothes that are still in that position are given away. It means I made it through 4 seasons, and 52 weeks of work, play, social functions, hiking, yard work, house maintenance, and other events and never needed to call on those clothes. So off they go.

The first year I did this I probably gave away about 60% of my wardrobe and never missed a single item I parted with -- a number of which still had the store tags on them. Even though this frees me up to purchase new clothes as I need them throughout the year without filling my closet up to the breaking point, I find that it puts a small routine in the back of my mind that makes me far more frugal with clothes and as a result I buy very little. If I really need some specialty clothing for something, it's usually a tuxedo or something I can probably rent or borrow.

It's sort of a zero effort, self-documenting, positional tracking system.

Anti-money laundering: The least effective policy experiment?
I guess the American multinational corporations could have negotiated between themselves to simplify what is shown. Instead of showing the headline and a snippet, it could have shown simply "Herald Sun, political report, 25/07/2020" or "The Age, opinion, 13/01/2021".
This inspired me to do my math. I have 8 t-shirts in rotation, most 3-4 years old. Only one is unwearable without a sweater over the top (and yes, I still wear it).
> Also all text-based, non-graphical interface.

I would consider this a positive. Graphics do not imply improved readability, the information is dense and you have no choice but to present it as concisely as possible. You also need a dim cockpit for low light operations.

What could be a win is integration with the QRG to make access to information easier during a abnormal operating condition. You spend precious seconds locating and flipping through paper books to identify mitigation procedures.

From that I assumed that the sort of people being referred to are those who are debunking or criticising work by already established scientists. I'm speculating here but I would guess it hurts their chances because those who do the hiring don't want to risk taking on someone who might criticise their science in future.
The previous thread is incorrect. Signal desktop can work despite having the mobile phone active. That's the key advantage over Telegram and WhatsApp. Telegram's secret chats are not synchronized. Neither is WhatsApp's, and even worse, WhatsApp's desktop-based chat is just a projected copy of mobile. In other words, WhatsApp's desktop version works as long as mobile is active/is connected to the internet.
If you assume one per ms then timeflake and UUIDv1 both have a 0% chance of collision as they encode the timestamp.

You might go above this rate some of the time though and we might as well strive for perfection.

One of the nice things about UUIDs is that you can just merge data together willy-nilly without worrying about collisions - for example, if you gets bought by Google. You can't really do this with timeflake.

The irony is that the Chinese strategy is the make the West dependent on it for various goods, while the US strategy is to ensure China is not dependent on it for the key goods the US has a competitive advantage over.

Given that necessity is the mother of invention you can imagine that with China's economies of scale and cheap labor that they will have a competitive advantage sooner than later and the US will become dependent on them for advanced semiconductors.
If it’s not public—if a customer needs to go out of their way ask—then it largely defeats the transparency that I personally value. I suspect I’m not alone in this sentiment.

Also, since the parent didn’t mention writing to support, your response comes across as condescending and passive-aggressive. I’m not sure it was intended that way, but it reads as though you fully expected that the parent never wrote to support in the first place. If that tone was intentional, HN really isn’t the place for that sort of attitude. Simply suggest that they write to support—no need to be condescending about it.

The AGPL was a good attempt but it seems that it too vague. For example even Google, with its teams of lawyers doesn't feel comfortable using it for any purpose.

https://opensource.google/docs/using/agpl-policy/

It appears that they are concerned that it may be argued that if for example YouTube uses an AGPL DB that they would be required to release YouTube under AGPL.

I'm not saying that the interpretation is correct, but if companies can't be sure they won't use your software.

And to be honest IANAL but their interpretation seems reasonable to me. If you put Mastodon behind NGINX I think it is fairly easy to argue that the user is "interacting with it remotely through a computer network". So now if you have a theoretical AGPL Elasticsearch and your site sends the user search query to it and returns the user the results it doesn't seem clear that this is a legally meaningful difference. I certainly wouldn't want to argue that in court. I'd just use different software.
That's a great question if you're asking about using it on Venus. Copper melts at 1084 C, so you're good there for springs, conductors and contacts. You'd need insulation for wires and circuit boards: something like fiberglass weave would be good up to 537C. No solder, wire wrap, steel posts.

Resistors and capacitors for RC circuits should be similar, carbon is good and capacitors are insulator/conductor layers.

I suspect making a temperature controlled oscillator will be very hard. This means power supply AC current might be hard to make.

Anyway rebuilding OP's computer that can run in your kitchen oven would be a nice hobby goal.

The biggest thing I can highlight after having used Standard UUIDs and heavily using ULID values including building my own library and testing compatibility and behavioural compliance of the library with other database variants than the big 4 (MySQL, MS SQL, SQLite and PostgreSQL) ... is that no PK format should ever be considered suitable for all use cases its all about trade offs.

If you care about the order of something you shouldn’t expect any PK to handle that alone, even auto-incremented integers will start to fail you once you have to scale your write workload horizontally. If there’s a property of your data that you want to be able to order it by then you just need to make a column of the appropriate data type and store it. If I had a nickel for every time someone has look at a schema and said something like “Do we really need this date for ordering? The table is already sorted by insert order...” I’d have a lot more nickels than I want.
The old school way is to notify the ci/cd server using a post-receive hook. You can do it, but it’s not integrated in cgit, it must be set from the command line when you initialize the repo
Make the remote working more efficient by using a custom HRMS software in 2021
I worked on Loon for about 3 years. We had a team of over 200 people and launched thousands of balloons. Resource constraints were never the issue. In fact I think the lack of constraints contributed to some bad engineering decisions.

The technology worked. It was, in fact, totally possible to build solar-powered, balloon-borne LTE base stations that provided internet access directly to handheld phones.

But in the end, it was just a fundamentally flawed idea. Satellites don't pop and fall out of the sky. Balloons do, frequently.
If it's unidirectional (user only downloads) and the files aren't crazy big, then given today's connection speeds and reliability I would say no not really.
This is partially incorrect.

Signal's desktop does not require the mobile app to be active. Differently put, the desktop app does not depend on the mobile app's state. Mobile can be switched off/in airplane/far away from your physical location, but Signal desktop can continue to work.

For WhatsApp, the chats on desktop are e2ee too, but require the mobile phone to be active/online.

For Telegram, secret chats initiated on the desktop remain on that desktop app. They are not synchronized to the mobile apps.
Ah ok, not a bad idea if you're going for the freemium model
What you are presenting is the worldview of someone who is biased. I do suspect AWS was thinking that - which is why I'm not ruling out political bias. Even if that interpretation of the Capitol riot somehow, miraculously, turns out to be correct there hasn't been time to prove it with evidence.

But, as chalst argues, there are interpretations where they were acting reasonably.
I would love to see you prove that with actual labor statistics. Employers do not do that, plus now you need to deal with higher prices.
What about Elastic making the "jerk move" by switching the license under Amazon?

Amazon built the product with the hope that it would continue to be developed with that license. What are they supposed to do with the license change? Just accept whatever Elastic said? I don't think you can blame them for taking the last version where they agreed with the license and continue to use and develop it. Sure, maybe making it open is a bit of a jab back, but even in isolation it makes sense for them.
Study Reveals Immune Driver of Brain Aging
Thank you! We use Twilio for our WebRTC infrastructure with VP8 simulcast setup so we do use SFU but only through Twilio. We were considering how to get rid of Twilio and quite extensively researching what would it mean to run our own WebRTC infra as Twilio costs are pretty high (sometimes up to 1/4 of our revenue). But operating multiple servers around the word to act as SFUs or creating them on demand in e.g. GCP and paying the cloud tax in form of extremely expensive egress costs doesn’t seem to be the right solution either. Other service providers have very similar pricing, that's why we will stay with Twilio for now.

Apt username for taking a statement I made out of context and then extending it to the extremes of absurdity.

I'm not proposing solutions. I'm mostly stating what I've observed. Resources consumption clearly correlates with available resources, particularly in the government world of "use it or lose it" budgets. The people who stick it out to teach in poorly funded school districts to seem to be the kind of teachers who care greatly about the kids. You see this kind of "we can't do it all so we'll do what matters" even more strongly in police departments (well, the ones that don't devolve into revenue policing that is).

Obviously (i.e. it should be obvious but based on the conversation thus far I have to cover my but) you can't just skimp everywhere. You need to give employees the resources they need to do their jobs (so that they can actually do them and the job isn't soul crushing) without giving them so much that those resources get wasted. It's a really fine line to walk and I can't think of any organization, pubic or private, for profit or nonprofit that has let itself become a resource wasting gravy train that has managed to stop the train without crashing and burning. A business can go bankrupt. For obvious reasons you don't want your school district or water department to have a financial crisis that upsets things for a few years.

We live in a country where money that could buy school supplies is wasted on reupholstering auditorium chairs and administrator salaries because of people thinking you can blindly shovel money at problems.

I'm sorry that this is being downvoted. I have a couple of t-shirts from tech companies myself. One from Stripe which is really nice but probably past its best and a cheap one from Cloudinary.

I'm not sure if you are completely serious about never buying clothes, I've certainly never seen trousers on offer before but I'm convinced someone could get by on free t-shirts with little difficulty.
Chrome and Edge want to help with that password problem of yours
It is funny that the author mentions the security dilemma. I fall into the category of people who never get anything done because they worry about exploits all the time.

If you also fall into that category, it is possible to provide read only ("dumb" in the official terminology) git access via http(s).

I think that it is important that the primary git repository of projects is not on GitHub, so that may be a first step for projects where the main development happens on mailing lists.

For CI, a GitHub mirror could be used that is updated with a cron job.

Shoes last longer if they are not worn everyday.
I appreciate your answer, but I still consider it "defending".

Yes, the atmosphere we find ourselves in is horrible. But I would argue that the "post-truth" strategy used by trump & friends is the main reason for this.

When it is so common to be intelectually dishonest, those disclaimers are needed, and with how easy it is to misunderstand people on the internet, I think that those disclaimers are something positive, people really should add "/s" when being sarcastic as an example.

How would you suggest one should handle dishonest liars on the internet? Personally I think that one should call them out on their lies, but everytime that is done, someone, (in this case, you), come along and call it "partisan hyperbole"...

I have a fair number of pairs of shoes but they're mostly specialty boots for outdoor activities and that sort of thing. To your point, I definitely don't have a bunch of more or less interchangeable casual shoes lying around. (I did used to have quite a few dress shoes but I got rid of most of them at one point given I rarely wore them any longer.)

,,Compatibility with graphically intensive apps, like games, will be a problem as many game engines are written natively in C and C++, and specifically target the Arm architecture.''

I'm quite OK with that if I get a better battery life in return. I depend on Google services though.
To me that would depend on whether AWS Elasticsearch is actually profitable at that price point, or whether they are running at a loss to grab market share.
I will preface this by saying that the author probably owns that many sneakers because he considers them fashion and chooses the ones that fit the rest of their clothes better.

Having said that, I ended up owning way more shoes than I wanted simply by being active: I started owning trekking shoes (1) and a pair of regular sneakers for casual sport only (2) until I started going to a gym that required exclusively indoor shoes (3). I later added running to my routine, so I bought a set of good, expensive running shoes to keep my knees in good shape (4). In addition to that, my new job requires dress shoes, so I now own two pairs of those (5, 6) in case I get mud in one of them and I don't feel like cleaning them right after work (which is a thing that happens). Add flip-flops (7) and comfy indoor shoes at home (8), and here we are.
>Most people do - but don't hesitate to put more value in your labour and look for other career opportunities. The world is pretty unjust at a basic level and if you're waiting for someone to acknowledge your excellence and land a big payday in your lap you'll be waiting for a long time.

It is also economically inefficient. If you are worth $100k/y and you sell yourself for $50k/y then you are basically doing charity for your company. If you really cared about charity you would ask for the higher salary and then donate the money yourself. What really happens is that you are keeping an economically inefficient company alive. That's not just bad for you but also for the economy as a whole because your "talents" are being wasted.

>Oh and we're all super lucky to be in tech because in a lot of other fields there is just no way to advance yourself.

It's the opposite. Low skill jobs are drying up. Most of them are going overseas. Getting a high skilled job is not luck, developed countries are restructuring their economies to specialize in high skilled jobs.
