>> My Seiko automatic

Bah, a real curmudgeon would have said a £10 Casio quartz :-)

I flick back and forth on this. The features i actually use on my Apple Watch:

1. it extends phone battery life[1]
2. I'm UK based but i work with colleagues across APAC & NA - in 3 of the corners of the "infograph" watch face i have NYC, Mumbai & HK times, it shows the city, the 24hr time & handily the offset - i use this all the time because outlook is poor for this simple use case
3. The 4th corner has a timer - i use it for everything from "the dog's out the back garden, i should remember to let her back in, in 5 mins" to brewing a cuppa to reminding me to do something - the UI here is really good, i'm a mixture of "hey siri, set a timer for 25 minutes" vs. just tapping one of the pre-set timers
4. Up next calendar entry - coupled with calendar notifications, the only notifications i still use today
5. Day date complication
6. Temperature - but it's not the current temp i find useful, it's the daily range display - every night "can i let the cat stay out overnight or will it get too cold?"
7. it's super convenient for driving directions in a rental car when abroad, not so much in my own car though
8. Music / audiobook / podcast volume & skipping
9. The vo2 max readout has caused me to change exercise habits and the HRV thing has caused me to pay more attention to my sleep schedule - he says at 11:26pm
10. But my favourite is Apple Pay, personal account, joint account, corporate card & flight tickets back when we used to do that, super handy

Features i don't use but pretend i do:

1. Every other thing on there - from sleep trackers to camera viewfinder remote view thingy (cool, but useless)

A £19 "Casio Royale" would do most of the essentials though.

[1] in 2017 when i got my 2nd gen apple watch, my iPhone 7 would be almost dead when i got home from work. When i started using the apple watch, my phone battery would have ~20% left when i got home. I was no longer wakening the phone screen to deal with notifications or fiddling with podcast / music controls. Shortly after that i disabled all notifications but that's another story.
lol. Oops. At least glad I didn't screw up the math.
If you think it isn't OK to treat people the same regardless of who they are, you must live in Portland. I seem to recall someone saying "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Must have been Trump, right?
that fake meat is bad for you.
> Having complete control of TCP/IP in userland like this, with so little code, is so valuable I feel like there needs to be some special name for the technique.

Many years ago, when we could take always-on desktop PCs more or less for granted, I developed a product that let the user connect back to their home PC from another PC, to stream music from home or grab a file (this was also pre-Dropbox). NAT was already ubiquitous by this point, and Windows XP SP2 (first version with Windows Firewall) came out that year, so I knew it couldn't just make a direct TCP connection to the user's home PC. So I did a stupid relay implementation, where both the client and the home server (that's what we actually called the tray applet on the home PC) made outgoing TCP connections to our central server, which would relay packets back and forth. If I'd had access to a TCP-in-userspace thing like the gvisor network stack, I could have run TCP end-to-end, the way it's meant to be used. It almost makes me want to reimplement that old system using Go and WireGuard, even though the functionality is basically irrelevant in today's world.
This had absolutely nothing to do with the French population of North America. I'd ask if you were trying to have a good faith discussion, but the fact that you pretended the original comment was actually talking about cancelling potatoes answers that.
Bought this one a few months ago. Received it recently. I guess they were making them on pre-orders?
To be honest I mostly bought it for the looks of it! Have not tried it yet as I’m abroad so can’t leave a review.
It looks like a 'patent troll' at first glance, and that seems to have been argued by Intel to the jury, but VLSI may actually be more like a special purpose litigation vehicle for NXP (a very legitimate semiconductor company) using some IP that they acquired from freescale (also a very legitimate semiconductor company). Does anyone have more information or insight into the genesis of this litigation and the players involved? VLSI, for what it's worth, is being represented by Morgan Chu, who is one of the most preeminent patent lawyers in history.
Thanks, had forgotten about those.

About twice as much as a C1, more if you have a lot of traffic, like e.g. tunneling video streams. Of course they are not fully comparable products. AWS maintenance might be better. But I don't have any high availability requirements for my toy projects.

Free trial until June (I guess you still pay for the traffic and maybe the storage. Haven't read the fineprint.)

Click bait. fighter jets - I lived near them years ago - were worse than that.
> The fact that cars burn gas is one of the least harmful parts of them.

Air pollution is still a significant harm, even if the space wasting harms also exist.
Yeah I tend to favor the original unless the clones offer something with real differentiation. "Use this because its free and open source, but it's pretty much the exact same thing" isn't compelling to me. I'm not saying Athens is doing this, or that it won't succeed. It's just not a very compelling story imo.
A speculative store of value is not utility. Everybody gave up on it as a currency years ago.
I agree that Python is a bad language for beginners. It is conceptually heavyweight and full of opaque behavior. We lost a lot when BASIC stopped being the "standard" introduction to programming.
I did implicitly assume that all car doors are essentially about the same width (i.e. never thought about that).

So are Tesla doors also much thicker or what exactly are we talking? And how much are we talking. Now I really wanna see parking spot widths (which I know are much smaller than in NA in Germany and probably many if not all European countries).

Come to think if it, the Fabia in Scotland was already 'fun' to deal with on some smaller roads out in the country ;)
If CPI doesn't do it for you—which is fair, it's certainly flawed—what's your preferred measure of inflation?
A smart watch is not a “watch.” It has functionally nothing in common with a Seiko or a Rolex. It’s a computer form factor, like a desktop, laptop, video game console, tablet, or smartphone. Yes they all rapidly become e-waste and that is a problem but Seikos are not really relevant.
What are potential applications?

Do the allow some kind of special optical devices?
I know we're not supposed to discuss voting but people downvoting someone simply because that person said something disagreeable, yet still within the rules of Hacker News, is becoming a serious problem in my opinion. I'd like it just fine we get rid of downvotes altogether.

> One tweak they apply is that rent-control does not apply to new developments, so creating new flats is more lucrative than turning old buildings into luxury developments.

Typical YIMBY broken record here, but in the U.S. it's more or less illegal to build new housing on almost every inch of land (especially in the most expensive cities). We don't need to develop baroque incentives for developers to create housing; we need to stop making it illegal.
Microsoft: Exchange Server Zero-Days Under Attack by Chinese Hacking Group
Fyi, the creator of that website (Dr. Gregor) can be pretty biased. If you google reviews of his books (from other doctors) you'll see that he sometimes leaves out important details from the studies he cites.
What you are describing is a false dilemma, believe it or not, it is possible to have both performance, maintainability and correctness.

To have performance, you have to understand the data you are working with and how it can transformed efficiently by your hardware. To have maintainability you have to create good abstraction around how you transform your data. To have correctness you have to implement and composite those data transformation in a meaningful way.

All of those things are orthogonal.
Cheaper mechanical watches don't even get "service" - they simply replace the entire movement as it is cheaper than having a skilled watchmaker take it apart. It will still cost a significant fraction of the initial purchase price.

Seiko recommends servicing every three years:

https://www.seikowatches.com/us-en/customerservice/faq/care-...

And Rolex recommends service every ten years:

https://theslenderwrist.com/rolex-service/

I loved automatic watches, but when you account for their regular inaccuracy, relative fragility and high maintenance cost, they are not as practical as quartz, but merely higher status symbols.
It'd be nice if flat earthers could go and record their trip.
What makes rewilding / reforestation a better focus for helping animals? I'd have thought the current situation dire enough that one would want to focus on the low-hanging fruit like regulations against the current cruelties and elimination of "Ag-Gag" laws.
Whoa, that’s wild. I couldn’t find it on their US page. That’s so interesting
We used to use google.com for hosting jquery for us. Then when google.com started being blocked by the great firewall our site broke (it was pretty popular in China). It took a while to find out what went wrong, especially with the language barrier.

Back then we decided it's just better to self host. Less things can go wrong.
>Rather than inhabit a black and white world of moral absolutes, defined by an Iron Curtain that ran through the heart of Europe, the explosion of trade and digital technology has exposed a gray, amoral world of deal-making and opacity that cuts across continents and is more suited to China’s business-as-usual approach than to Biden’s attempt at resuscitating the liberal world order.

Sounds like a win to me. If the US wants to lead the world onto another path it should take the high road and do what it preaches before pointing fingers. Sure the US might call itself a democracy but is it really a democracy and equal for everyone, no matter colour of your skin, amount of money and your history?

This "China bad" propaganda is becoming extremely tiresome. How many innocent people have the US killed in its uncountable wars? I don't know the answer but I do know it is a lot worse than what is happening in Xinjiang. Stones in a glass house..
Can you explain how this prevents forks? An example of a fork would be someone creating a new client that rejects transactions from old clients.
> and not just dedicated vegans.

Are vegans actually adopting these? I would have assumed non vegetarians eating fake meat more. A significant part of the world is vegetarian/vegan, so we don't have dearth of just plant based food preparations from there. Isn't it easier to adopt those things for dedicated vegans?
Which is why the ruling alliance is trying to expropriante all entities with more than 3000 units. That's a nuclear options but it certainly fixes the issue.
And there is a market for buying up old Reddit accounts for that. People cultivate karma on Reddit accounts posting about cats and memes and then sell them to brands looking to appear authentic.
> the needs of the many that take precedence. That is mass transit.

Apparently the many disagree with you, and like their cars.

> This assertion is completely unfounded.

You can keep pretending that things you don’t like don’t exist.
In every company I've ever worked for, and any company I know these kinds of things about, the position of a CTO is a high-level managerial role, with lots and lots of budgeting strategizing communcating yadda yadda, so you had better have someone on that seat who is a good manager and good at high-level, big-picture thinking and good with people and a very strong communicator.

If you require that person to also be the most technical person in the room at all times, whew. Either that's a very tall order or recruiting/hiring needs work. More technical than that person who's spent a career getting absolutely ace in their niche? More technical than the data scientist who spends 8 hours a day digging really deep into bleeding edge neural networks?

I'm totally with you that a manager should be able to understand the thing they manage to a certain (not too shallow) depth, but you hire experts for a reason, and in ordinary circumstances, and in an ordinary IT department, a C-level manager should not strive to out-expert the experts under their purview. That kind of micromanagement/smartassery will just drive away the experts, and then you need a new CTO and new experts and maybe go bust.

Exception to the rule: If you're in a startup where the IT departmend consists of a CTO and one guy remoting in from Bulgaria who runs the servers and is really really cheap, you as the CTO actually should be the most technical person in the room. But once you hire the first actual expert, you should take a step back and get more big-picture-y.
> Every anthropologist: Human brain development skyrocketed and were able to maintain them when meat became a regular staple to their diet. Just pick any documentary or book on the evolutionary development of humans. Any!

Go ahead and cite one of those sources.

It's curious that all the rest of the world's carnivores missed out on that skyrocketing brain development.

I agree with you about the sugar industry though. They're worse than big tobacco.
This reminds me of a story a professor told us in school. We were talking about all this and he explained that it’s an assumption that no fast algorithm exists, he sure couldn’t find one but added maybe the NSA could. He said there was this student in his class that was really bright, top 5. On an exam this student scored a 40 the next highest score was a 50, the top three scores were something like 70-90+. He was the student that scored a 40. He and the 50 are accomplished professors/researchers in their field—the top two scorers work for the NSA—so he says, “maybe the NSA can do it.”
So are you saying I shouldn't run out and short the RSA stock? :)

I was curious about the submission process for ePrint, it looks like there is supposed to be some vetting, even though it is explicitly not fact checked or peer reviewed. You do get papers from cranks and blockchainers but presumably Schnorr doesn't fall into those categories.

Impossible is really good, even the texture is nearly spot-on. However, I've found Beyond meat to give itself away pretty easily, and it has a distinctly chemical-ly, (plant?) aftertaste.
Not to be a fanboy, but I love my apple watch for three reasons:

I can see who is calling me without pulling my phone out of my pocket and drop the call. I can also answer calls on it if I left my phone in the other room.

Ditto with text messages

I can see what my next meeting is just by looking at the watch face.

As for e-waste - yeah - replacing the battery costs almost as much as a new watch. Though my last one lasted 4 years.

I actually never use it to tell the time, which I know is weird.
Because of something called vacancy control. You can't raise rents on people in a unit. You could raise the rent of an empty unit to market rate (in Berkeley, in the 90's after rent control was changed).

EDIT: changed word "defeated" to "changed"
Whatever was done in Vancouver wasn't done to control rent prices. It was done to control vacant buildings. It was successful at that.
You're still skewing the situation by putting this in the context of someone offending a foreign custom. This is crucial because the locals have unique ability to say what is and isn't offensive, the foreigner does not. But McNeil isn't a foreigner, and the students aren't locals. If anything, the roles are reversed: the students are supposed to be learning about adult discourse from their interactions with McNeil and other other Times experts. If the foreigner/local dynamic is at play here, McNeil is the local and the kids are the foreigners.

If you were at the grocery store with your spouse and pointed to a piece of produce you wanted, and an American teenager chimes in and says "don't point at things, it's offensive to X group." Said teenager isn't a member of X group. You see people repeatedly point at things and nobody takes offense. Do you just take the teen at face value and apologize? Or do you say "X people don't seem to be taking offense to pointing at things. And you're not even a member of X, so I'm not going refrain from pointing at things just because you say it's offensive". To give an apology is to admit wrongdoing and I see nothing wrong in pointing at things in America, hypothetical teenager's objections notwithstanding.

Likewise, McNeil did nothing wrong here. The fact that he might have kept his job if he apologized doesn't make this situation reasonable. The fact that people demanded an apology in the first place - for using a word the New York Times uses even in it's own reporting - is what makes this unreasonable. I'm not really disturbed by the reactions of the teenagers - they're still learning and in the process of becoming adults. I am, however, disturbed that a newspaper of record is applying a blatant double standard and terminated a long-time employee for something that the bulk of society and even the Times itself deems inoffensive.
Most were ratted out by their friends and families. Or they just posted where they were on Instagram.
23 years of experience + Existing codebase demonstrating care for matter such as filtering input == experienced. Certainly not clueless.

I said absolutely nothing about a honey pot. Review my posts. Occam's razor strongly suggests to not make un-necessary assumptions. My post challenges your assertion of incompetence. You need to remove that assumption from your analysis.
Go ahead and try to implement a fix to sql injection bug in any of your systems. I can guarantee there’s a sql injection issue somewhere.

The reason it’s so prevalent is because it’s not a rookie issue and very difficult to fix properly, without impacting significant changes.

That’s why OWASP has it as huge part of security analysis and resolution.
Unfortunately, de-leveling seems common as well
It's dangerous to assume that the same number of people will continue programming if you start people on dynamic vs static typing. Maybe the static first programs weed out more people?
Not all plants have complete proteins. Also there are other nutrients that are hard to get on a vegan diet like EPA and DHA.
This conversation needs to be higher up. It's strange how much unbridled enthusiasm there is for fake meat within the first page of comments here.

I would agree, strongly, with your assessment of PUFAs. They are even harder to eliminate from ones diet than sugar. They are in most of what one eats that they aren't making from base ingredients.
Though my creaking bones are weary,

Yet I shall prepare this query.
Yes — but one retailer can aggregate hundreds of manufacturers. So if you buy everything at Target, for example, you know they have done a basic-level quality filter for you: the brands are not counterfeit, the food is tested occasionally, the electronics are UL listed.
Thanks for cutting back.

The gradual approach is better than trying to change overnight.

Veganism is pragmatic, not dogmatic.
The US govt already requires publicly funded publications be shared publicly. Some agencies like NIH and DoD have their own archives you need to put the article in. The law allows up to something like a limit of one year paywalling.
They can sleep 20 hours a day because they only eat once every four days. If they had opposable thumbs they might do something else.
This is a 5 point rating system. Personally, I try to stick to as few points as possible.

The consumer of the rating (in this case, the code author) usually needs to know one thing above all else: Do I take action or not. A two-point system is the default.

IMO, in a code review, the feedback should be either expected action or not. "I recommend you change this" or "FYI, consider this", aka, "required" or "optional".

Ultimately, as the author, I want to know if I'm being told "please change this" or "just FYI". Details can be haggled if necessary.

The strength of the recommendation isn't relevant unless there's push back, in which case the details can be haggled for the situation at hand. But trying to do that bucketing up front sounds like extra work that's usually unnecessary. As long as the reviewer is pursuing productivity, they can adjust their recommendation as they learn more.
No, surge pricing would be "lots of people want to travel right now and we don't have the capacity, increase the price to maximise return". The averaging there is "all users in a wide area" rather than "all people that need to go to local place X". Both may cause ethical issues but the latter has a specific kind of problem.

What a smarter but unethical system may discover is "people having a heart attack will pay almost any amount of money to get to hospital". Substitute heart attack for any other medical issue, if that is something you'd say should require an ambulance.

Location based pricing may be fine, charging more for airport travel because there's less competition (due to waiting times, etc) could be fine. Charging more for getting medical treatment is not.

Optimising blindly for profit is not something we want to do, but can easily be what we task a machine to do.
The more verbose 'time-translational-symmetry-breaking-structure' isn't much better. So crystal it is.
I read his story. What a terrible miscarriage of justice.
The article states that the robot took on top ranked curling players and won 3 of 4 games.

So it looks like it won without the need for brushing.
I work for a company that uses it as a mission critical product. It provides the search in our SAAS. I'd say it mysteriously fails 3-4 times a year. But no one wants to invest or encourage anyone to look at it proactively or even re-actively. We've had JVM issues and indexers spiral out of control using 99%CPU only to stop at random hours later. It's definitely a product to learn before it fails.
Ellis Act allows you to remove the unit(s) from the rental market and remove the tenants. In an apartment building you may do this before condo conversation but cities like SF have almost stopped condo conversions.

If you Ellis Act you can re-rent the units are market rate but only after 5 years (or else you have to rent it back to the original tenants at their old rate or new tenants at the old rate).
> do you have any specific use case where the graph DB would be superior to them?

Outlining. Treating each bullet as its own document. Granular embedding.

I've been using Obsidian to gather research and plan requirements for a software project. It's worked well, but feels like using a wiki with a few extra features.

I wanted to use Roam but the privacy policy wasn't suitable. I think with Roam I'd have ended up with less duplication as I could transclude more.

Also, miss a visual editor. If Obsidian and Typora had a child, would be amazing
I find that their ratings are often not very meaningful, at least for products that I feel informed. They don't seem very objective, and instead feel like a testimonial from a certain kind of person. If you happen to have similar sensibilities, then their ratings may work out quite well for you. I've never had that experience with them, though.
