Their own page says otherwise, too.

And when attempting to find this "enterprise" version, you have to go to one of their companies to get it... None of which provide prices, and only 1 of which I could find a "request" button to get a price.

This was a really dumb message.
"I feel like I'll never get another opportunity to make this money again and I feel like a loser."

Be careful with this. Your beliefs become your reality and your reality is based on your beliefs.

And half a mill is not alot of money if you're in the US. Try to focus your energies on building a company that does that in profit every single month, rather than waiting for some lucky break.

It’s even boring to technical people. It reduces intelligence to a multidimensional optimization problem. Now intelligence just involves all kinds of mechanical ways to fill out the weights for a neural network. I use to be more interested. Upon learning more about it, I am less motivated.

How can you not justify the rise? Trust in governments is at all time low everywhere. Crypto has always risen when trust in governments has diminished. Not even talking about what's going on with the fiat currencies, especially Euro.

In general, this doesn't seem like a great use of the HN self-post feature. If you feel this strongly about it, maybe write a blog post that can be formatted properly?

> they're even sending the scammers a cool $400k per month.

How can you tell that? Seems hard to believe.

> Honest developers are getting fooled by all sides.

I don't understand this part at all. It might be the case that a handful of normal users are getting scammed by this. But just what do "honest developers" have to do with this case?
No mention of content blockers that stop ad network requests from even going out in the first place... I was under the impression that content blockers could even speed up page loads.
Thanks for being honest.

I care about hypocrisy. I just don’t think it’s a moral issue, because everyone is a hypocrite from someone else’s point of view.

I care about religious freedom quite deeply, indeed more so than most freedoms. I am interested in constructive steps to improve it. Pakistan is a theocracy, where as many as 90% of the population are Sunni Muslim. The Ahmediyya are a modern sect founded in the late 1800s, who are regarded as non-Muslims by the Pakistani constitution. The vast majority of the Pakistani population supports this view.

I don’t think you know much about how to change this situation, and I think it’s fairly obvious that Apple or Google leaving, as you have already admitted elsewhere, would not have a significant effect.

It’s really not clear what you are trying to achieve, except for some shaming of Apple for a bullshit reason.

Absolutely - the collabora office site is terrible! They seem to have some sort of cloud version too but then don’t mention the price of it at all. The whole site looks sketchy and unofficial. No support as standard, without paying thousands of pounds a year (Microsoft offers great SMB support in my experience).

Maybe they should look introspectively at why nobody wants to sign up rather than blaming the users. Users will sign up if there is enough value and it’s clearly communicated.
>Since when was eating meat in almost every meal in the human nature?

All the nomadic tribes, people living in mountainous areas, hunter gatherer societies in temperate climates,...

Though the question itself is pretty meaningless or misleading, since on average people today do not eat meat in almost every meal at all.

Is it possible to be a successful entrepreneur without being a sociopath?
Before anyone roasts me, let me address the elephant in the room: yes I am a serial-failed entrepreneur. Bitter? Maybe, you'd be the judge.

When I was very young I had 1 successful company. Then I put my entrepreneurship dreams on hold because I went out there to get all the things that I was told I needed (work experience and MBA), my fault, I know that now.

After that I have started too many companies, well . . . to re-state it properly, I have "tried" to start quite a few companies, they all failed, most failed to actually launch. My post-mortem analisis leads to common threads:

- Not enough grit

- My Depression & Anxiety lead to procrastination/perfectionism, and other bullshit excuses

- Too shy/insecure to market properly

At the same time I have worked for a handful of startups, leads by successful entrepreneurs (consequently I did OK financially, OK enough as an employee) and one thing I have now realized is that there's 1 quality that is necessary to be a successful entrepreneur:

SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE: the ability to sell the dream to early employees, co-founders, early investors, late state investors and - more importantly - early customers and custoers in general.

I have witnessed first hand this type of selling that to me, with my faults and overly realistic/caution, was lies/deceits/bullshit but . . . even when things didn't go as promised; the recepients of those lies defended the entrepreneur (cognitive dissonance?).

Part of me says that that is typical behavior of a sociopath, and these entrepreneurs with whom I had first hard, direct, insider's experience (I was an executive reporting to them) we exhibiting textbook cases of sociopath/narcissist behaviors; or maybe I am misreading it all, and they were just optimists, selling the dream, the perfect MO of startup entrepreneurs?

Now that I have addressed my Depression & Anxiety, how do I learn this type of optimism? Where can I read about it AND how do I practice it?
It’s unlikely any Windows laptop can last anywhere close to 10 hours with that combo.
The goal is not to call people "engineers". The goal is to find the engineers. One way to do it is selection pressure: if the people who routinely produced non-working or otherwise impossible designs where eventually barred to do so, there'd be a better chance that the people left would be any good.

Does that mean we'd suddenly have a serious lack of engineer? Perhaps. That's only true to the extent that we already lack capable engineers now. It'd just be more visible.

I for one would like to be liable for my programming work (at least the part for which I'm paid). I could at least say to my boss "sorry, I can't risk approving that, we need more tests/refactoring for such and such part for such and such reason".
It’s just meant to give a rough visual. The article provides the exact length.
Thanks for the clairification, im sure my engineers are aware of this. But I am definitely going to ask about other phones.
That's the question. If consciousness/intelligence is wholly in the brain, and the brain's interaction with the physical world, is that something that can be modeled with number crunching, i.e. computation?

NNs come with many caveats and lack the theoretical guarantees and support of SVMs and RFs. They should never be the first approach to solving a problem unless a) you have good reason to support the hypothesis that other models don't cut it such as a non stationary problem e.g. RL, or b) other methods can't scale to the difficulty of the problem. NNs are also very expensive to train compared to everything else.
You assume the us needs to export food outside of North America.

America and/or North America is big enough of a domestic market to not need to export food.

Europe already has import tariffs on many American goods. Any broad import tariff actually benefits Americans more than it harms.
Cute naming schemes are a holdover from the days of physical servers when location, function, etc were subject to change so an immutable machine name couldn't contain them. Now that most things are virtual and easily created/destroyed there's no good reason _not_ to name functionally. The most common refrain I've heard in defense of these archaic naming practices is that "we don't want the hackers to know which server does what" but if they've managed to get your root DNS zone file or a shell on a box then you're already pretty far gone anyway (not to mention that nmap exists). All it does is impede productivity and create the illusion of security.

If you are dealing with assets in a physical environment then obviously the above doesn't apply.

As a side note: a long time ago (before I knew what I was doing) I ran a Windows Server environment for my dad's business. The main server was Jake and the off-site backup was Elwood.
I honestly think that meat eaters are missing out when they eat these fake meat burgers (or beef burgers for that matter). You can put so many things between these buns some of these are really delicious. The variety of the veggie patties is amazing. When I order a veggie burger at a new restaurant, experiencing a new kind of patty is part of what makes burgers such a great food.

Yes, I bet meat eaters say the same about beef burgers, there is difference in texture and flavor of each patty. Difference in quality of the meat, the coarseness of the ground, etc. But knowing that, makes me thing that meat eaters don’t actually like the meat part in their diet, and trying to replicate the meat part of a beef burger when making veggie patties just seems like a lack of imagination and an unnecessary limitation.

Brexit was an emotional issue, and I think this would be the same. 68% of Scots voted against Brexit, but the London government ignored that and piled ahead with fairly hard Brexit. Even the fishing industry, the prized jewel in the crown, got pretty screwed by Brexit.

I don’t think the Irish arrangement is workable in practice. It’s trying to fit a square peg in a keg of dynamite. The Irish Protocol effectively puts it outside the British economic zone, since trade with Britain is effectively import and export, going thru customs and enormous red tape. Meanwhile, Ireland proper is just across the field.

I think Northern Ireland will make it to its centenary but not much beyond.

When Google started with its ads they were both unobtrusive and non-deceptive.this, together with the fact that they were context sensitive, was one of the reason they were much more appreciated by the users (cannot quickly find examples right now) . Unfortunately , it seems that obtrusive and deceptive ads make more money

They didn't want unspecialised poor immigrants from Eastern/Southern Europe and didn't want immigrants / refugees running away from Africa.

They're more than happy to charge thousands to qualified Eastern/Southern European to get them to come here and pocket high salaries and relatively cheap cost of living / taxes (the other place that compares in EU is Switzerland, but it's much more expensive).

Also, they didn't want to pay for poorer countries that will never get their economy together.

The UK was one of the few net contributors to the EU.

Rollup’s tree shaking should have the same result - the way I understand it, it puts all module exports in the same scope, renaming variables to avoid conflicts, and removing duplicates. Then while “shaking” the dependency tree, a function that is only used by another imported module will end up in one of the dynamically loaded parts, i.e. not the main bundle. Where exactly it was first imported is irrelevant for its location in the output files.

For snowpack, it’s just a natural consequence of runtime imports.
There have been some studies done on this (for example [0] and [1]) and it does seem that wealthy people are less compassionate.

Anecdotally my experience aligns with the findings in the studies - my richer friends seem far less likely to tip well or give money to a panhandler than my poorer friends who tend to be more inclined to share the wealth, when they have it.

Yeah, the tech side of the company was pushing to remove the requirement for as long as I was there. But it was pretty much just a blanket requirement for all employees since most worked in medical facilities where that’s normally required.

At this point in my life, I’d reject it. But it’s hard to say no when being offered twice your current salary and a significantly shorter commute.
I had a summer job in college with a real estate partnership that consisted entirely of filing unopened bills and liens into four different bins based on the project, each a different company that presumably was about to go bankrupt.

The only time I saw the two owners was when I started and when the take me out to lunch when they abruptly (but not unexpectedly) let me go.

At that meal one of the two was really excited about a new project: some turn-key restaurant idea, and how he'd only hire "hot waitresses".

It would be incredible if we could pull this off, but the probe would still be floating in an 85% sulfuric acid concentration. Since H2SO4 is highly reactive with most metals, as well as an oxidizer, it’s an enormous challenge.
I had a discussion with a maker of hand crafted canoes about materials. He was surprised that his cedar-strip [1] canoes were lighter than the equivalent kevlar (which is well known as being lighter than fiberglass but more expensive and harder to repair). The key factor accounting for the weight difference was the amount of epoxy absorbed by each material.

Ultimately this is about material science and the various trade-offs inherent in each choice. Cedar-strip canoes have a highly valued aesthetic quality but "wood-strengthened epoxy" is an accurate description of the material; the epoxy, however, is not the distinguishing feature of cedar-strip, kevlar, nor fiberglass canoes.

Like all evolving innovations, "transparent wood" seems to be searching for its killer application and I don't expect the name used by researchers to continue if/when it finds product-market fit.

There is no modern hardware for sale that actually has 512-byte sectors, and hasn't been for many years now. (More than a decade, I think...)

If you don't have 4kiB sector support, then the hardware is typically emulating 512B sectors on top of it's native 4kiB sectors. If the partitions are properly aligned, this still gives the same atomicity functionality.

The author likes using long branch names, except for that this makes their prompt look ugly.

One workaround they've used is to use a shorter branch name locally which tracks the longer remote branch name.

This blogpost shows details about looking into abbreviating the branch name in the shell code for the git part of the prompt. The author found a way to do it by making use of a particular colorising hook.
Hoist by their own petard as Shakespeare would say
People become more conservatives as they age, probably after understanding their tax returns and when the year of school (which is a prevalent liberal environment because of teachers) are a far memory.

Despite this, there's a increasingly liberal trend: spending, taxes and inflation keep raising, no matter the party.
Running a persistent content blocker as a third-party HTTP proxy process is more efficient than running in-page: you get all the CPU benefits of content blocking, without the RAM drawbacks of loading JS blocklists through page injections. I would not consider the browser extension model to be viable for content blockers in light of these statistics, as the overhead of a cold start simply can’t match the readiness of a network proxy.

> People and collaboration over processes, methodologies, and tools.

This part I don't get. Processes, methodologies, and tools are how you prevent bad stuff from happening. This is exactly what you need over just whether people feel okay or are collaborating enough before they go home. You can value these things but you absolutely should not put people over your processes, methodologies, and tools. Those are there when people inevitably fail. Pretty poor advice from anything related to threat modeling I've heard before; This is corporate speak instead of security speak.

A related quotes found on the internet subgenre is quotes which are actually real and correctly attributed but were a lot less cool than they look over a naff picture of a sunset

At the beginning of this century, speechwriters for a struggling British Conservative Party leader gave him the line "do not underestimate the determination of a quiet man" to try to turn his dullness into a virtue. Media generally found it amusing, he was greeted on his return to Parliament by shushing from the opposition, and within the year he'd been replaced without even being given the chance to lead his party into an election.

But it was a pithy enough line to find its way onto inspirational quote lists, and fifteen years later was improbably adorning the Twitter profile of Colin Kaepernick (complete with correct attribution to a politician Kaepernick almost certainly hasn't paid any attention to, never mind been inspired by). Can't wait for British civil rights icons to be inspired by the words of Jeb Bush!

Medical personnel wear masks for more than just protection from Covid. Surgical and N95 mask availability is critical to the day-to-day operation of a medical facility, is it not?

Yes... this is exactly what I meant when I wrote "one possibility is that medical personnel treat all kinds of illnesses, and that N95s are generally critical for this work, and we wouldn't want them to go without while the public buys them up for an ineffective use."

Unfortunately, if this was Fauci's point, he did not communicate it well. Some of what appears to be deception may just be bungling an answer that requires a lot of nuance (though again, after what I've seen from hostile or even just lazy soundbite-driven media, at this point I just wouldn't be surprised he actually did say this hat some point and it was not reported or just edited out of a longer interview).
