So this is what happened for me: I went for a walk in the forest with my wife and some of her friends.
There was one friend that had an husband working at university.

We started talking and basically we discovered what he was teaching really related for what I do for work so he asked me to become a "mentor" meaning a professional that helps students with their thesys.

In the meantime I went to talk during his class about product management as an engineer where basically I said "I'm an engineer like you, go and talk to customers, it's part of the job", plus extreme programming stuff etc...

After that there was a position open and this professor recommended me because I told him it was one of my goals to be a teacher as well.

And then from there I met the head of dept. He was happy with me being versatile, I usually handle C, database design or java.

But the usual stuff is go to the university you like an look for open positions.

I need to get confirmed every semester and apply again. Usually this job is done by people with a main job and sometimes it happens you don't have time in a semester.

Ask HN: SaaS founders, how long did it take you to get your first customer?
Interested to know how long it took other founders to acquire their first users, paid or unpaid. It seems like there comes a point in every project where you’re left wondering whether to persevere and keep improving the product to attract a user or to accept that you’re just not solving a big enough pain point and move on to something else instead.

I would be interested to hear how others have found this and how long they kept going for before finally getting some traction.

For a bit more context, we’re working on something that solves a problem that one of us had in a past role, and we hear the typical feedback of “yeah that’s cool, would use it if it had X”. So we feel like we’re solving something real and we’re just not sure whether it’s the product that needs more development or the problem just isn’t big enough, or something else entirely.

I don’t like articles with lengthy preludes, here’s where the discussion about the book starts:

... Klara, the narrator of Ishiguro’s new novel, is a kind of robot version of Stevens, and a kind of cousin of Kathy H. She’s a carer, a servant, a helpmeet, a toy. “Klara and the Sun” opens like something out of “Toy Story” or the children’s classic “Corduroy” (in which a slightly ragged Teddy bear, waiting patiently in a department store, is first turned down by Mother, and finally plucked by her delighted young daughter).
Incredibly stupid things don't feel wrong?
And also that by doing this sort of redistribution, you will disincentivize investment, and incentivize consumption (from the rich) - after all, what good would the investment be, if it is going to be taken away when it succeeds, but you take on all the risk of the investment? Rather buy a yacht and go on lavish, extravagent holidays with the money - they can't redistribute the memories in the brain!

# is a valid character in an email address. Regexes are a horrible idea to validate or parse emails and have been since the beginning. Most regexes will be too strict. The reason people use regexes on the client side is they copy pasta something they find on the internet. Incidentally, a great way to get emails delivered is to properly validate them. Sure typos are possible... Few things are a worse user experience than having a valid email rejected by a client side parser.

cash (laundromat)

- put drug money through it and pay taxes

- business use "clean" money to buy a piece of art for $1 million from a corporation owned by the criminal boss (that was bought for $1k).

Voila, clean money in the hands of the head honcho.

Pure speculation on my part, though.
> Ultimately issues like competing contractual obligations can get ugly, fast. But aggressive vaccine nationalism can impede the kind of international collaboration that is necessary to produce enough product to inoculate everyone who wants a shot.

Normally vaccine exports are no problem for the EU, originally there wasn't even the mechanism that is now used to block that one shipment.

Given all the circumstances (various vaccine exports still going on, Australia having a pretty calm Covid situation right now and starting production of their own AZ vaccine this month) I wonder if that shipment was deliberately chosen as a statement to get AZ to stop playing games while minimizing the impact it has on global efforts. (or maybe I'm giving bureaucrats too much credit)

Of course a heads-up notice to Australia would have been nice if that was the case.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the difference between a product and a project. I’m launching an open source project and we need to make it a bit of a product, but I’m hoping to maybe grow a following on patreon or open collective so we don’t have to focus on selling things directly.

Anyway this seems like a cool open source project that might not be trying to be a “product” for the masses.

Show HN: Text Photo – Turn Picture into Text Artwork (Mobile App)
People who recently got one might have some reasonable expectation that it wouldn't be long term (although often their mortgage advisor would probably have given them the impression that it would be), but there are still many home owners who would reasonably have believed so. And even the ones who do expect it to not be long-term, would not have expected it to be cancelled overnight.

I would certainly love to be rid of it sooner rather than later, but I do acknowledge that that's going to be disadvantageous to a lot of people, and will have to take them into account as well.

The mortgage guarantee scheme doesn't really apply here, I think: it raises the buying power of people with low incomes, but once you've bought a house, it only means that their bank gets paid if you're forced to sell it - but you'd still be forced to sell it.
No. If you act in the spirit of the GDPR you never need to prompt people at all.

> But in late 2017, US prosecutors say, Green fell in with the owners of a Mauritius-based investment company, Beaufort Securities, that engaged in fraud, stock manipulation, and money laundering. For Beaufort’s owners, duping investors into buying worthless securities was the easy part. The hard part was making the ill-gotten profit appear legitimate to regulators. Beaufort had done so in the past by depositing money under false names in offshore banks, then slipping it into the global banking system little by little. The company had also used the time-tested trick of buying real estate and quickly selling it off, often at a loss, to convert illegal proceeds into assets that could be accounted for as the fruit of a property deal.

> Now, money launderers like Beaufort were searching for less obvious ways to scrub their cash, and Matthew Green knew how to trade in multimillion-dollar works of art. Approached in late 2017 by the Beaufort conspirators—one of whom was in fact an undercover US federal agent who had infiltrated Beaufort—Green allegedly said he would accept £6.7 million (about $9 million at the time) in what he knew to be the yield of securities fraud in exchange for a 1965 Picasso, Personnages. Green would draw up phony ownership papers saying the work had been sold, all the while keeping the Picasso stored away. Down the road he would pretend to buy it back from his coconspirators at a lower price, keeping 5 to 10 percent of the laundered cash for himself.

> “Art is a very attractive vehicle to launder money,” says Peter D. Hardy, a former US prosecutor who now advises corporations and industries on compliance with anti-money-laundering requirements. “It can be hidden or smuggled, transactions often are private, and prices can be subjective and manipulated—and extremely high.”

What is it with all this history-erasing lately? And it seems to be happening on all sides of the political spectrum!

Not too long ago, Diary of A Young Girl (Anne Frank) was removed from our national school curriculum as well as some more local war-time texts, and it seems that every vaguely-objectionable author is getting defacto banned from every place a person could reasonably be expected to look for them.

I say whatever. I think it makes no difference that a game supports Linux directly, or via proton. Either way you get a tested product, and neither of them is more friendly to the spirit of free software. Or, if I could have a preference, I'd go with proton based solutions - because over time, that makes proton better, which means even more Linux compatible software.

It's a lot easier if the dirty money is already crypto, from ransomware, dark web transactions, etc.

Then the crypto is untraceable at both ends: one side leads to the victim, the other to someone with plausible deniability: "I was just selling art at market value. I didn't have anything to do with that crime, and I don't know the person who bought the art." In between, nothing but an anonymous wallet and an untraceable transfer of NFT.

Seconding the statement that attar/itar is a traditionally made fragrance, usually essential oils from various sources. Before perfume and deo industries penetrated the Indian market they were used universally by those who could afford it - they are and were quite expensive.

I guess Pfizer just made the best offer.

Without them, BioNTech might have partnered with some other pharma corp: Merck (the German company, not the US wartime spinoff) is headquartered 30 km from BioNTech, Sanofi has facilities 20km away and there are a few more around the block that have significant experience in both navigating regulatory frameworks and ramping up production.

In such a scenario, maybe they wouldn't provide 60% of EU shipments now (the numbers I have at hands), but "produced nothing" seems to lowball it.
> operations that can't fail [...] can fail, but do so with an exception, which IMO is easier to deal with from a security standpoint by aborting the process

That's exactly what annex k does. Detection of a runtime-constraint violation results in a call to a constraint handler; which handler can abort the process if you want it to.

The parameters that go into the efficiency/gain of a power plant are well known: gain goes up as radius to the power of 1.3, and magnetic field strength to the fourth power.

ITER was conceived in an era of much lower-field superconducting magnets, so it had to increase the size instead. This massive size has been the big cost and schedule driver.

However, since ITER was designed there have been big advances in the production of high-magnetic-field superconductors. These are really recent - ReBCO tapes have only started to be sold by commercial producers in the last year or two. With higher fields, we can get performance equal to or better than ITER at much smaller size (and hence price). This specific effort is an MIT project, relying heavily on MIT research in building magnets with the new superconductors.

I highly recommend this video for a look at the different scaling factors: https://youtu.be/h8uYNhevRtk?t=571
> I’m unsure whether Qt5 can host Windows UI components.

yep, basically you have to do :

auto window = QWindow::fromWinId(reinterpret_cast<WId>(/* HWND, NSView, X11 buffer, Wayland surface... /*));
auto widget = QWidget::createWindowContainer(window);

and then you can use the widget like any other Qt widget, put it in a layout, etc... (of course caveats may apply when you start doing transparency or other fun things).

An acre of lawn? There is the problem! I would not use a leaf blower no. I would either

a) rethink whether I really need an acre of manicured grass, and probably leave the leaves where they are, making a more dappled woodland setting. Leaves don't stay on open grassland of course, I don't see farmers blowing off the fields.

b) if I were mowing an acre I would have a lawn tractor...and use that to shred and then pick up the leaves.
> We already have browsers, we can block and filter cookies based on our individual preference and adjust depending on our tolerance for privacy vs functionality.

Blocking cookies on the browser side is a cat-and-mouse game where the cat is a multi-billion-dollar corporation and the mouse is a handful of volunteers.

You're also vastly oversimplifying the tracking issue to just “cookies”. The big advertising networks will use any method imaginable to track you. In the US (sans e.g. CA) they do not even have to tell you that they're tracking you, let alone tell you what they're doing with the information or let you opt out.

The GDPR gives you rights that work against all kinds of tracking.

> How has this changed the data collection practices of Facebook or Google in any meaningful way?

They have to tell us what they are and obtain our consent before doing them. They also have to tell regulators before doing novel and particularly intrusive things.

> Not enough people are asking what effect the many new regulatory burdens will have […]

The burden of putting the least effort to respect people's privacy is a good one. If you actually aren't trying to spy on people the burden imposed by GDPR is much less, perhaps giving good actors a competitive advantage. You don't even need consent most of the time.
It's the same reason why most modern books are bland streams of text set in brushed-up typefaces, while medieval manuscripts were written in whimsical hands and richly adorned with full-color illustrations and drop caps decorated over the top.

Back in 1995, a web page was an experimental medium, with very few experts in the field, and few businesses seeing it as a key asset. It could took long to develop, it could look fancy and whimsical, and there were few other sites to compare to, with the same properties. The chance for a web user to encounter something unusual was higher, because there was very little properly usual yet.

Today the web is the main medium, with a lot of standardization which comes from the need to be readable, accessible, look clean, and take as short to develop as possible. The consumer expects the same: simple, familiar packaging, easy access to the content which is usually a piece of text or a picture. This leaves especially little room for fancy on small-screen mobile devices. The web is not more of a place for artistic expression than newspapers were in 1970. Whimsical and fancy designs exist, but they are relatively rare and special-purpose, promo or art pages.

Not really. The rightsholder determines whether they want to maintain the rights database for their songs themselves or delegate it to one or more distributors to do it. This is a solved problem and the intermediaries provide value to the rightsholder in marketing, managing more complex license types (performance, radio airplay, use in film) and pestering copyright violators

I recently helped an unemployed friend with getting healthcare. It was actually incredibly easy and took maybe thirty minutes start to finish - where "start" was "Do you know if I can get health insurance through this program?" And "finish" was having good health insurance with active coverage confirmed on the phone with papers about to be mailed.
I'd like to see this applied to online advertising, making cross-site tracking against the law and forcing advertisers to bid per real-time request for user data and the money is paid to the user themselves. Currently advertising platforms make more money by allowing advertisers to better target their ads. I have nothing against this as long as I'm paid for access to my data at the price I think is right (might be MAX_INT, to each their own).

1. Each user would have a "data pod" configured in their browser, storing has as much structured information about the user as the user wants (can be empty, or it can have all the structured data fields you want to insert).

2. The user can update any fields at any point and how access to the data pod is done.

3. The user can setup a BID MINIMUM or MARKET value for access to its data pod, perhaps even having different bid values for each set of data. For example, an advertiser wants to know my name? $0.000001 per request. You want to know my address and what TV shows I like? $0.001 per request. Want my bank data? $1000 per request.

Further this data could be authenticated cryptographically by certain authoritative entities. My government could authenticate that I am indeed from country A, and my pod's data would be signed by them (netflix and spotify could authenticate my media consuming history, etc). From that point onwards advertisers know that this field has been validated and can be incentivised to pay more. This should get rid of the incentives where everyone will self-report as being a US citizen just so their requests have larger bids.

What have I missed?
