That Times article is not great. Not sure if I'd have made it through the first paragraph. That said, these types of tools often seem to be about dumbing things down to increase "engagement."
Krebsonsecurity.com needs to update it's website to make it mobile responsive.
By default, nature is an aggressive and competitive environment.

It's only after we barricaded ourselves in towers protected by walls that we started to find predatory animals cute (and even made children's toys in their image)
This is really cool! I would love to demo this- I regularly used Maya via Google Remote Desktop at a previous job and it worked a lot better than I expected. We're headed back toward thin clients :D

I've not used Salt very much and went all in on Ansible years ago. I assume they're running it in master-minion mode but the article doesn't say... Maybe not and that's why they need a custom agent as well?
That seems like a niche case. Surely flattening arrays is faster.
These are all bubble scams.
I have 10k+ cards, and 100k+ reviews, and I've used Anki for years. It's a professional tool, and while I hate basically every part of it, it's reliable, and doesn't do unexpected things. I'm not willing to bet on a tool, that's pushing an unskippable bunny in a suit to my face that's animating with 10FPS.

You're clearly onto something: Roam and new PKM tools are more popular than ever, Remnote is even hiring people. You just need to figure out how to present your workflow ideas.
How do you quantify waste? If I peel a potato, is the skin factored into the waste? I think there are a lot of foods we waste simply because you can't get all the yield out of the given mass, so on paper maybe you do only use half the pumpkin after you peel it, remove the stem, take out the guts, and turn it into a pie.
I know there are alternatives, but Google Reader just worked for me and I'm still, to this day yet, quite salty that they killed it.
For sites that offer it, sure. I use it frequently with podcasts too.

But the number of sites, and the easy availability of readers for it (it was built into all of the major browsers at one point), have both decreased dramatically since the early naughts. If 10% of sites offer RSS feeds, I'd personally be quite surprised.
I have read this book and want to leave an anti-recommendation here. It's a poorly edited mess and makes at least one blatant mathematical error.

More broadly, let me leave a Taleb anti-recommendation. His entire shtick is yelling that traditional statisticians have ignored heavy-tailed random variables in their modeling and that he has special insight into the nature of tail risk (perhaps along with a few select other people, like Mandelbrot).

But this is manifestly not the case. In fact, if you go through his Amazon reviews page, you can find him leaving positive reviews several years ago on all the books written by traditional statisticians that he learned about heavy-tailed randomness from!
I have built 3 commercial products: a seating planner, a visual planner and a data transformation tool. I'm confident that Excel is the main competitor for all 3.
Underrated by the public but Paul Graham holds the Collison brothers in incredibly high esteem, lots of other SV people do also.
Patrick is a great many things but I wouldn’t include underrated on that list. I don’t think anybody operating with or around him believes he’s anything but one of the most competent executives on the planet today. If you surveyed 100 venture capitalists and asked them the likelihood of Stripe hitting a $1T market cap, I think 99 would agree and one would be trying desperately hard to appear contrarian.
R is one of the languages I was thinking about, but even 1995 understates how long it took. R is an open source implementation of the S language that dates back to 1976.
Because, they aren't being discriminated in their favour (except in the most immediate sense).

Rather, like Apartheid South Africa, Arab Israelis are being very, very clearly told that they cannot be TRUSTED in bulk with something like assault rifles in the presense of Jewish citizens.

Apartheid was not merely Jim Crow type laws - it was existential.

I deliberately chose these laws because they get to the heart of what an Apartheid state is.
I would bet a few are also including it for the laughs....

(Tried to do this once with a tongue-in-cheek comment, but the whole section was cut for space).
Is professional conference included in "social gatherings"?
I'm very curious what remote display tech they're using, as I've had trouble with latency even over a local network. I've tried VNC and NX, mostly with Linux servers and Mac clients.
Stepping on a sea urchin is no beuno. I remember one time snorkelling and I was being pulled by a rip tide and I was like no big deal, I can just slowly head a different direction until I started being pulled barely past sea urchins on corals and then I was freaked out. They are dastardly.
Thanks for this answer, I don't go into the gym so I only knew steroids, and wasn't sure about the rest.

Solid point.
But it depends - if you are a 20,30-year old with no obligations then there is a high chance that you do not really know how the world works. I guess I’m suggesting your typical mom’s basement rat who neither has the programming skills or the domain/business logic.
But the field is quite forgiving, so you can pull it off no matter your background.
Here were I live, programmers get paid 5-6 times more than the average income. Some seniors get the same money as a bank director would and of course, not the same levels of stress. A lot of people actually transition to IT and do it successfully, but we are an outsource market and there are companies that hire a lot of juniors and sell them to customers as seniors...so better environment for new-starters.
I would say to the author to go ahead and try it! I truly love this field, it is amazing!
Heh, Microsoft's cloud and data centers are also bad for the planet, but here we are.
Not OP, but: When I notice my wife indirectly advocating for something in a way that I barely pick up on, I try to let her know that it would be appreciated if she'd ask more directly.

Why? Because it lightens my cognitive load, and lessens the chances that I'm missing other times that she's expressing a preference. And, besides, she is smart and deserves to be heard, and I know other people (men) are not listening as carefully for these cues as I am.

It's also "hilarious" when things go wrong the other way, and I interpret something that's just meant to be a question about preference as a serious ask to do something.

How Unsubscribe link should work
We're still exploring the business model to support the project. Right now, Mito is free to trial, and we're experimenting with a subscription plan somewhere in the range of $10 per month. I'd say about half of our users are using it for free and half of them are on some sort of subscription.

We're also considering open sourcing the tool, and doing the classic Enterprise Sales / consulting / other value add services on top.

If you have ideas about which direction to take it, would love to hear!
Yeah, for sure not underrated in the valley and by people who know him but I meant generally. I doubt the average person knows much about him or Stripe
Thanks I learned too.

Allow me to contribute a bit and please don't take this the wrong way. I understand why you are using tariff. You are using the spanish tarifa.

The word commonly used to represent bus payments is "fare" (train fare, etc). Hope this helps!.

Tariff in english is commonly used instead to refer to the word "arancel" i.e. the cost to export / import food, etc.
"Stadia without a very good connection is basically unplayable."

This is plain wrong. Tech wise stadia is amazing.
I don’t think we’re speaking the same language. I’m talking about how much time it takes to change the code in every unit test, etc. because you upgraded something that requires changing the test framework, and this library and that one, so you end up not only having to fix all of your production code, but all of the tests with their mocks, stubs, injections, annotations, xml config, etc. If you have thousands of tests, this can keep people from upgrading.
This may explain why lawyers are motivated to stir things up, rather than settle them. They're motivated by the wrong metric.

As an Engineer, I sell my time by the hour too. No different than the lawyer. Yet I try to finish things efficiently. Huh.

Almost 20 years ago, I met Patrick at a Lisp meetup in a pub in London where he talked to us about Croma, the Lisp he developed for Web use. I learned that he was looking for a Lisp machine, and as I had a Symbolics 3630 which I hardly ever used, I arranged for someone to pick it up and deliver it to him. I wonder if it still works and if he is still using it.
Apart from trying to get bunches of attention directed towards the issue, which in some cases may or may not make the corporations budge (cases like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26357033 which would result in bad PR for said companies), is there really anything to be done in the first place?

I think the person that you replied to seems to imply that there isn't, especially since what OP did may or may not be entirely allowed under the platform's ToS.
I own a first-gen reMarkable, and I really only have two complaints about it. Since the onboard CPU is fairly slow, I wish you could do the conversion to its internal format on an external computer, rather than the only option being for the device to do it itself. The other is I wish I could privately host the cloud services because I use the device for work. I have to leave all of the automatic syncing disabled since it only goes through their cloud service.

Other than those two, it was a game changer for me. Haven't picked up regular pencil and paper since. I do all my notes, designs, doodles, etc. on it.
Excel, depending on who organizes the data, can lead to god-table with 123 columns.

Now someone with a bit of balance, can go quite far with it.

I'm a Bristle paying customer, and love the entire conceptual area of microbiomes and self-directed assays. IMHO microbiome science provides a new kind of quantification of health and wellness, and suggests new vectors for treatments and feedback, and can even help enable discoveries of experimental confounders and colliders.

For a good introduction I suggest the paper "Oral microbiome: Unveiling the fundamentals" at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6503789/

Why is using computing power for bitcoin not beneficial to humanity?
Actually, it went sort of like this:

I used qubes as a desktop os, but it was a little clunky. Like the copy/paste or moving stuff between the vms.

But the main problem was I couldn't ssh INTO the qubes machine, and I couldn't really run server kinds of things (though maybe it was possible to dig into the networking and the firewall vm).

When I tried proxmox, it was more set up for server kinds of things. For example, all the VMs showed up as machines on my local network. I started to make it a desktop, but then backed off. I decided to leave the debian main os vanilla. Instead I made it a server. And I got away from VMs and use containers.

I do have a macos vm that I remote into though. It's a copy of my laptop which I haven't used as much the last year.
Starship SN11 Prepares for Rollout
I've mentioned this a number of times here. AWS uses TLA+ all over the place, and use is strongly encouraged and supported.

A service team I worked for had to implement a back-end process that had zero tolerance for mistakes. The engineers involved had a principle engineer peer reviewed process worked out, and got encouraged to model it in TLA+ as part of that review process given what it was at hand. Two engineers learned TLA+ and PlusCal over the space of about a week, and then outlined the process over the next week or so, and kept finding minor, improbable, correctness bugs.

Once fixed, they found translating the code in to actual Java to be very straight-forward "It's fill in the blanks. The whole logical structure is there already".

In the end, the feature landed well ahead of planned time, even accounting for the time taken to learn and prove correctness, and was able to be launched with little fanfare and high degrees of confidence.

I know at least one of those engineers has gone on to use it very regularly. It gives them a good chance to model the logic first, solving the actual problem at hand, and then start thinking about "the boring stuff" like database connections, unit tests etc.
Originally, security
. Israel’s economic and population core is contained within a region as wide the distance from your average small city to a suburb. It’s also geographically a low plain. It’s called Gush Dan and looking at a map is helpful for understanding how extreme this geography really is.

The land on the Palestinian side of that border are hills. Prior to when Israel conquered that land in 1967, Arab militants/terrorists would take pot shots at and occasionally kill drivers of cars and busses driving along roads in this region. It’s really that small, single digit miles wide. Apparently school busses were a favorite since they are large bright targets.

The settlements were originally limited in number and designed to offer the Israelis opportunity for physical security. This is still the case today when the preferred weapon of militants/terrorist is missiles.

After 1973 when the Right came to power the settlements adopted a religious connotation. They were massively expanded as a conscious effort to absorb the entire West Bank. Since then the problem has only deepened.
Yes. What then should happen when Good Z is invented and grows from 0% to substitute for 25% of Good Y?

How should a measure of inflation track that?

What if Good X becomes half as expensive per unit but people consume twice as much of it as a result? Should that be reflected as a reduction of inflation? If housing per front door goes up by 100% but only up per square foot [or room] by 50%, should the inflation rate of housing be 50%, 75%, or 100%?
Like a lot of Linux zealots who ran Linux everywhere for 20 years, I hated most things associated with legacy Microsoft, because of EEE, and what they did through SCO. However, I had to relax my attitude about 10 years ago, when I realized that I owed my entire career to Excel.

I've mostly made a living by being an engineer who creates proper, focused software tools for other engineers to use, and almost every program I've written is because there was a crappy Excel tool trying to cope with the problem, and falling over due to size and unshareability. That's when I write a website in Rails, or a WinForms .NET application, keep adding features until users stop asking for fixes, then move on to the next one.

Of course, there's been ebb-and-flow in my career, but the bulk of it has been driven by the fact that Excel is so seductive, and easy to start something useful. Then, like a lot of Microsoft products, leaves you hanging when it's time to get serious. So, credit where it's due. Whatever you can say about it's shortcomings, they've been my bread and butter for 27 years, and counting.
Online dating. Not Tinder. For shy dudes, a person's presence on a dating site is about the most obvious sign that they're open to being approached that you can get. Contact 50, chat with 10, meet 3, have a relationship with 1. Numbers may vary based on height and money.
Is That a Cat or Not?
What's bad for the planet is how decades of individual work output in money can be confiscated (by printing and inflation, not taxation) by the Government under the pretense of doing good. What's bizarre is that the Government is not affected by market forces while the rest of us plebs are forced to be efficient lest we lose to competition. Note: when I say confiscation, I mean money printing and not taxes (which will exist in a crypto world). Money printing disproportionately hurts the poor who hold currency whereas the rich stay rich as their wealth is held in assets.

Separate money and state and you get closer to a state where the Government has to streamline its operations. We will see behavior truly good for the planet then, because the Government won't be able to spend trillions on military interventionism and research, and will have to focus inwards on streamlining its own self. Increasing taxes will cause a mass exodus leaving the Governments in a bad shape. Bitcoin can't be confiscated. Holders will just migrate to a country that is good with BTC being used as a store of value to guard against money printing.

This is a revolution against nation states. BTC Energy consumption is negligible compared to the incumbents but nobody talks of those so here we are.

Edit: I am surprised at the number of downvotes and would encourage you to comment so I can address your thoughts on the matter. Meta comment - also surprised that the HN crowd is so divided on the matter.
Perfect. This is what I was curious about. Haven't heard of either. Thank you.
Taleb is... not a good source for learning statistics. Start with Wasserman. Taleb says obvious and well known things using his own invented terminology in order to cast himself as some sort of contrarian genius. It's not that he's wrong, it's that the insights he hawks are banal. That's why his readership base are insight porn book junkies not people actually trying to learn statistical methods.
I'm reminded of a medical maxim: Never run a test if it the results won't affect treatment decisions.

I'm that vein: Is this really a medical test, or is it just recreational?
That is a win for everybody!

My similar story was removing a 10,000 line module that built hundreds of different packets for sending over a mailbox to a wifi module. Each method was almost identical, with the exception of building a slightly different header.

I replaced it with a template that given the structure, built a packet to send it. Less than 1 page of code.

> In other words, it's a much nicer language than C, and correspondingly much harder to compile.

Sounds like an anti-feature to me. What I want is "matlab with fast loops". I couldn't care less about "extraordinary composability", "full type inference" or "genericity". Well, I do care because these unneeded features make my stuff much slower. It's a hefty price to pay for uncalled-for features!

Yes, my script was just a silly joke, to show that compiling and linking C code is really fast.
The difference is that those things are actually useful.

Also, bitcoin is fiat.
Bill Gates is also quite bad for the planet. I could never emit the CO2 he does if I tried.
Is it really censorship resistant though? In order to actually buy anything with BTC, you need a fiat offramp which is 100% vulnerable to censorship.
Is there an index that isn't a 'consumer price index' but a 'cost of living index' instead then? An index that includes the basics of life like food, energy costs, shelter, transport, education, healthcare and some basic consumer goods? I think the issue most have with CPI is it's often sold as a cost of living index by media, politicians and policy makers and it makes people feel unheard as a result.

"My cost of living has doubled but your saying everything is fine since the CPI has only gone up %3!!!" and general 'let them eat cake' style behaviors saying that iPads are 'so much cheaper'[0] is the general feeling I get.

Hi HN. This is a project by myself and @seanperkins.

This service is aimed at entrepreneurs and developers who may be great at building and sharing their work, but aren't designers.
Our ideal customer is someone who is willing to spend money on good design but doesn't want to spend all the time and money working with a traditional agency.

The aim is to give this person all the pieces of design they need to build out the rest of their brand.
Perfect for someone who can build upon a good foundation in Canva, or for someone who wants to change some bootstrap variables so that their project can stand out from all the dime-a-dozen templates.

We built it as a middle ground between services like Fiverr and traditional design agencies.
We aim to maximize the value we can return for a smaller investment by standardizing our offering and eliminating back-and-forth emails. Answer a simple questionnaire, pay a small fee via stripe, and wait a 72hrs for delivery.

We send you a shareable site with:
- Typogyaphy (with copy-able css code and links to download the fonts)
- Color Palette (with copy-able css code)
- Design examples, including a social media profile image and meta image for branded unfurls

Let us know what you think

Israel is the country with all the power in this deal. They would never allow Lebanon in on this, especially while they have elected Hezbollah party members in parliament (and growing in popularity).
> If you want to solve the problem, children are ones who can do it

Yeah, but maybe not human children.

If anything we need more non human children on this planet, we are attempting to fish the oceans dry, there's less than 10% of old growth forests still in North America.

Almost every ecosystem on earth is severely degraded due to human activity. If aliens came to visit they might logically assume that humans are at war with nature.

We are living in a slow moving apocalypse and we don't even recognise that fact because we think that this is normal.
Again, question the premise holding in your mind’s hand a momento mori. All those things can and likely will happen. If the key advancement of human civilization was in virtue, would those things be a cause for worry or suffering?

Big fan of this, but powerpivot sits on vertipaq (I believe) which is an in memory columnar DB or sorts (apologies if that’s incorrect). So at this point you’re getting awfully close to direct querying (another msft feature) which while analogous resembles more traditional db/client if you squint hard enough.

But yes, big fan of vertipaq which I believe also powers PowerBI.
