He dropped it when Edwin Hubble showed that the galaxies are moving away from us and that the universe is expanding. At that point the notion of a constant value that imposes a static universe became untenable.

Note that it wasn't so much that the constant as such became untenable, but if the purpose of introducing it is to create a static situation and the situation is showed not to be static, then the reason for selecting the given value goes away. If you no longer have a reason to set any given value, you have to consider whether you need it at all.
No idea about legality, but of course there's no point in buying calls with a broker if they aren't going to let you exercise them.

[REMOTE] FULLSTACK (BUT MOSTLY BACKEND) DEVELOPPER ; TYPESCRIPT / NEXTJS / MONGODB

We are building a bank application with current & saving accounts, money management, wire transfers, and card management. We are launching on the French market this spring and the next step is to go to Europe for 2022. The draft is here : [https://green-got.com/](https://green-got.com/).

The endgame is to offer a solution that will reduce the carbon footprint of our clients by redirecting their money from carbon-heavy positions to eco-friendly ones AND to provide a better banking experience.

The general stack is a NextJS API and static front end with React native applications. We have developpers working on the static front, the applications and some parts of the backend. Half of the NextJS backend is a proxy to our providers for banking and money management services. We need you to work on that half! With time, you will be able to switch to other parts of the stack.

You have worked for at least a couple of years with TypeScript on the backend. You know how to write clean and well tested code. You want to make all your code dead simple to read. Experience with the banking or payment industry is a plus. You don't need to be a degrowther vegan but you must have a certain sensitivity to climate issues.

You can work from wherever you want, whenever you want, as long as you deliver. We intend to build a long-term relationship with our employees. So, the best candidate would be a french national that we can hire under french law for long term contracts. But we are open to international candidates on a C2C invoicing relationship. Being not too far from Paris time is a plus.

The budget for this position is 4500€ per month, 54000€ per year (this is $65k in USD). The end net salary will depend on the taxes in the country you live in. It may be half this amount.

> Has Tech Destroyed Society?

I recently watched the documentary The Man Who Saved the World[0], about Stanislav Petrov, who one day in 1983 made the decision to ignore the early warning system computers telling him the USA had fired 5 missiles at the USSR.[1] It seems had he followed orders, a report to his superiors would have resulted in mass retaliation. The decision was in his hands.

In the movie, as well as a reenactment of the incident, the real Petrov visits the USA to speak at the UN, and visits Kevin Costner, his favourite actor. Costner asks him how many people would have died if not for his actions that day. You expect him to say millions. Petrov explains that everyone on the planet would've died.

They visit a disused missile silo in the USA and Petrov explains to a guard there that just one of those missiles had more explosive force than all the weapons used in WW2. According to this page[2], in 1985 the USA had 21,000+ nuclear weapons, USSR 39,000+.

It's very chilling, to say the least. It makes humans seem so very crazy, to create the possibility of that situation in the first place. Petrov explains emotionally to the guard that the Russian people wanted peace, and thought the USA wanted to attack them.

I can't help thinking about that, reading about Whether Tech Has Destroyed Society?

Yes yes yes this you're absolutely right. Virtually every motherboards has two "x16" slots but only the first x16 is actually x16, one on the far side from CPU is electrically just x4 and is mutually exclusive with first M.2 slot. Unless you're building Threadripper/EPYC or Xeon HEDT/server. I didn't realize any of that and am enjoying free salt.

When I want to process something in Snowflake I would have to copy the data

1. from snowflake storage to s3
2. from s3 to my compute node
3. do the processing
4. store result in s3
5. copy result from s3 to snowflake storage

If I only use s3, my data gies like this

1. s3 to compute node
2. run my script
3. result to s3

Perhaps I could use bunch if insert statement and load data into Snowflake through sql straight feom compute node, but then at a great cost.

I don't really see much benefit of using Snowflake for not-yet structured data. For structured data it works wonders. Only downsides there:

1. Expensive as f when you scale up
2. can't control cost in pay-per-query model.
I'm sure reality TV hosted by Gordon Ramsay and whoever's his American counterpart isn't a great example of either's culture, nevermind basis on which to compare them.

Though I haven't seen either. I have seen both original UK & US The Office, which after the first few episodes of the latter (which just uncomfortably rip off the former, making the same jokes but poorly IMO) are each good in their own right, and definitely highlight differences between the respective television cultures, even if not actual society too.
That would be my open source robot Rover. I am making it to learn both about 3D printed robotics [1] and computer vision in unstructured environments [2]. It’s a really fun project, and success would be if anyone ever decided to clone or fork it and sell them. I’m considering working with a friend to design an aluminum version for low volume production for researchers, but I have a lot on my plate so I’m not sure if I really will.

Still it’s rewarding for me to work on. I started it after my startup failed and I was so exhausted working on something I wanted to succeed. So I made a totally non commercial open source project and it’s been a lot of fun.

Your own link puts the EROI of renewables in the same range as conventional oil (wind slightly better, PV slightly worse), and way better than shale or sand oil.

And of course you can make liquid fuels by cracking water and then doing chemistry to add carbon (which can be from atmospheric CO2). This is what Musk has planned for Mars, the process is from 1897: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabatier_reaction

Further chemistry can turn that into long chain hydrocarbons, from what I remember of school.
Nice. I use a much simpler format which is basically the task name and the number of minutes worked. These lines are appended to a text file for the day that gives me a timesheet. I start a bash script when I start work which counts the minutes and writes the file when I’m done.

This sci-fi [0] music player with automatically generated visualizations. https://glitchy.website/

Eventually I will make it more like an actual music player since right now it only plays one file and provides different seek points so you can jump to the song you want to hear. I think it will also be an interesting way to keep me invested in releasing new music that I can put on it.

Yours and topster's seem to be stretched greatly in the vertical direction, which makes them higher resolution. Glassgiant's is stretched a little too.
I agree. After having tried several other players (Amarok, Banshee, Rhythmbox...) I have settled on Audacious. It's quick to start, plays every format I need, and is not as invasive as other bigger programs.

I remember pirating anime back in the 200[2-7] era and having to hunt for codecs to play anything. (Pirating was the only way to get anime back then.)

Windows movie player sucked and wouldn't work with hardly any of the series being distributed over KaZaA, eMule, BitTorrent, etc. You'd need DivX, or QuickTime, more frequently some obscure and sketchy codec that came with its own `.exe` installer.

When VideoLAN came on the scene, it played everything. It also supported proper subtitles, so anime sub groups stopped baking them directly into videos. (The switch to MKV was huge for fansubs.)

VideoLAN was a huge part of my youth.

Many kudos!

Set a standard.

Working with RDF is computationally intensive. And writing UIs that fit to various ontologies is not solved. So everyone inevitably ends up writing applications to fit a particular ontology.

Excluding theoretical quibbles, what changes? In practice, the particular ontology that your application supports is the standard.

The problem isn't so much the language as the fact that it's very tedious if you only have access to the old Win32 API as a result of toolchain constraints. It is much easier with the VCpp toolchain.
For sure. Cargo dragon on falcon 9 is a solid combo compared to the space shuttle. I wouldn't say that C1 was low risk (for a human to joyride in), though. Probably less risky than the first shuttle launch, but that's a pretty low bar based on how the shuttle was developed. C1 was designed, validated and launched for the purpose of flying a few orbits with a wheel of cheese in it. It was an early test flight long before cargo dragon was complete.

Likewise, crew dragon's first manned flight was likely way lower risk than probably any shuttle mission. It largely benefited from all the learnings from cargo dragon and a lot of practical testing though.

Hahah, I don't know what else to say about an app like Watsapp. Especially considering the fact that at the moment it is owned by Facebook. I believe the less popular ones are the safest applications. For example, Utopia p2p is a decentralized application that has never been seen in cybersecurity scandals.
If we want to compare Stadia to current generation consoles then I think we need to include the 10$/mo, 1080p on stadia looks terrible on any somewhat large screen, "4k" is much better.

And the 75$ upfront cost does exist, you need a controller. You could get a controller for cheaper, but it wouldn't be as easy to use or be usable with the chromecast ultra, which seems to be where the best experience is.
Nonetheless you still need a controller and most people wouldn't settle for something that is terrible to use, so the cost is still a consideration.
> in 1985 the USA had 21,000+ nuclear weapons, USSR 39,000+.

This is one of the facts from this era which seems completely irrational to me. Considering the damage each one of these devices can do why do you need so many.

Lets presume you're in fact a genocidal maniac (i didn't say the roleplaying would be difficult America) 1 bomb per enemy military installation and 1 bomb per population centre over 100k population friend, foe, own country included.

Why do you need the other 18,000 bombs?
Yes, but if you were trying to recreate something accurately of course you'd never do that.

I've scanned through the work you've been doing on this a couple times, going back to trying to use letsencrypt / existing transparency logs. While its great stuff and really interesting, I wanted to point out the last time I looked at the current iteration I really struggled trying to understand how it worked, and as such how the security properties worked.

Not meant to be criticism, just feedback, as it would be ideal to have some sort of transparency mechanism in common use.
Hey HN! Happy to be here for another launch.

This time I'm showing off PrivaNote, my attempt at a modern day note taking application. A few highlights:

- offline first

- end-to-end encrypted sync

- installable as a browser extension (Chrome and FireFox) that overrides your new tab page.

Personally I'm always in the browser and always having random thoughts I want to capture, so this tool is perfect for jotting down notes and sorting them out later. I hope you find it as useful as I do!

Good writing is valuable. People just aren't used to pay for it. We just take it for granted, even when it saves our bacon. We'll read expert advice for hours, and don't think twice about even thanking them.

I often get messages from readers saying that they depended on the content I write and read it like the bible. They used it to start a business or get a residence permit.

There's a donation button under every post, out of 100k visitors, around 3-6 will donate. I get more emails with extra questions than I get donations. When I patiently answer those, maybe half will donate 5-15€, and only since I added a line about it in my signature.

By comparison, affiliate income pays roughly 100x better if you stay neutral. If you can't get paid to sell your content, you get paid to sell your audience. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

I want to be uncompromisingly helpful, but the incentives are often at odds with this. It's also not surprising that many websites get greedy and fall apart.

If the maintainers of critical open source projects have to beg for enough money to keep the lights on, I don't think the problem is the lack of value, but the expectation that digital content is free.
