How to Decode a Parachute
I guess but then again there's almost 10 million people now on WSB - and people can say anything.

I'm not sure how this is different from say bitcoin, where I've heard estimates of "100k by the end of the year" since 2016
His obituary said that he never suffered from writer's block, and I could believe it. I read an autobiography that took about 600 pages to get him to age 40. (But note that I read it--he was very readable.)

My favourite stupid design: In iOS, your alarm, when it goes off, has two buttons: Snooze and stop. They are properly spaced out.

The timer app has a similar UI, two buttons, one to repeat, and one to stop, spaced out. The problem: They are swapped!
If you want some IE nostalgia, here's a visual history of IE starting in 1995 (v1.0):

Factoid: There were versions of IE for both Mac and Solaris.
I'm not defending Amazon but what did they do that was evil? From what I read in the article, they were doing things a normal add-on developer isn't allowed to do, but that isn't inherently evil.

In a similar vein, your reasoning would conclude that white hat hackers are evil as well.

Having the power to do something bad, and doing something bad with that power are not equivalents.

Is it unfair that they received that power? Yes. Does that make it evil? No. Do I trust them? No.

I'm not defending Amazon, I'm questioning your reasoning because I don't arrive at the same conclusion.

I was watching that show called Antique Archeology.

It’s basically two grifters from Iowa who take the good stuff from hoarders, and collectors.

This one guy (Jersey John) pull out a 1886 Windsor chair, and acting like he’s doing the owner a favor by offered the guy $25. The owner shot back with, “I can get $40 at a yard sale?”

Anyhoo—it just reminded me how far we have gotten away from buying beautiful handmade things that will last forever, and going with junk make in the cheapest country.
There are also the numerous imprisonment of activists, journalists, opposing politicians etc. Basically an atmosphere of fear for people vocally opposing the government.

Show HN: Cast AI has built a service to cut AWS cloud bill 50% to 90%
CAST AI (https://cast.ai) has built a cloud optimization platform that reduces AWS cloud costs 50% to 90%, optimizes DevOps, and automates disaster recovery via multi-cloud with a single cluster. Intelligent optimization engine delivers a cost-efficient, high-performing, and resilient infrastructure for every Kubernetes workload.

If it sounds too good to be true - try free. To make it easier CAST AI provides AWS and GCP cloud credentials for free. Visit https://cast.ai

Here's how it works:

1.Use CAST AI to deploy your K8s clusters. Next, take a look at the CAST AI Console, APIs, CLI, or Terraform to manage your declared application state. The platform will take care of the cluster management and deployment with standard Kubernetes.

2.If you use cloud services, they will just continue to work as usual.

3.CAST AI deploys inside your cloud accounts: CAST AI is an orchestration layer that commands cloud platforms via APIs. This means that the platform creates and sets up all the cloud resources in your existing cloud accounts (AWS, Azure, Google). All these resources are yours, available in your accounts, and under your control. This includes the master nodes and control plane.
How to Kill Bitcoin (Part 2)
It’s not “some things”. Its things where the app developer explicitly chose to tag them to not be included.

And yes, for years one had to do the physical cabled backup restores for this, then these same app developers learned how to exclude their data from those as well. However, as of iOS 12, 13 and 14, there seems to be decreasing to zero effective difference in what’s included between tethered (with password), local WiFi (with password), and OTA iCloud backups.

You may be able to forcibly back these up using a third party tool that also lets you back up sandboxed temp files and the like, tools like iExplorer:

https://macroplant.com/iexplorer/mount-iphone-disk-mode-file...

If you’re jailbroken, that can backup anything under root of course.
I have a hard disagree here. Though, I suspect it is a matter of what your code is doing.

First, my objection, though. Pushing this "to the users" is in no way easier to support. It is easier to abandon, but support is a different thing. You will have support contacts. And, due to the distributed nature of the deployment, you will have a much harder time isolating your code from the environment it is in.

With a service, it would be a lie to claim this is easier, but it is a bit more approachable.

Now, a difference, I believe, really comes in to whether or not there is state associated with what you do. If there is, and it is not something that makes sense to move close to the user, then a service is pretty much required. If there is no state, make sure that is not artificially done by just moving to all state being managed by the user.
That's a shallow dismissal.

Yes...

I have the Xbox Series X and just got a LG OLED 55" tv and it's all running at 120hz with freesync, HDR and looks beautiful.

I have a regular 3060 i scored from newegg and it can't keep up with with the XSX does... my 3060 cost 499 and my XSX cost 499...

PS5/XSX is extreme value right now... and to be honest, the 0% pay 31/month deal is stupid easy and affordable to jump in - much easier than paying scalping rates or hoping for lotto slots from vendors just to buy a video card.

I got a PS5 through playstation direct as well when they do their lottos, but i'm a fan of gamepass so i sold the ps5 to a friend at retail cost.
"In conclusion, people are finally beginning to understand the hard way:

Web Browsers really make poor client application runtimes for all but the most basic of things.
ActiveX is a security nightmare and counter to making cross-platform applications.
The web is a constantly changing and evolving standard separate from Microsoft or any specific operating system, as such implementing an application for just one specific browser and version with no intent to keep it updated is just asking for disaster.
Tying local help files or other local content to a "live" web browser that may change in functionality is a bad idea.

But, nobody ever listened to anything I have to say."

Pyramid schemes, MLMs, and Ponzi schemes are popular also in "developed" countries if the operator finds an unfamiliar topic under which to run their scam.

I am trying to maintain an absolute pile of shite because the previous lead dev needed to reinvent every wheel in an undocumented untested way. On boarding developers takes longer. Bugs are more difficult to fix.

You are in my opinion a bad developer for having that attitude. Being able to know when and when not to use a library is an important skill. As with everything, it's a trade off and you seem to not be aware of one side.
Exactly the same, with even less regulation? I read today that 20% of Bitcoin futures on binance are trading at 125x leverage!!! 60% at JUST 20x leverage. A huge part of the crypto world is just completely insane. They are normalizing a level of risk literally absurd.

Two Privacy Stacks
There is a recent NN/g article that covers this exact UX issue: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/proximity-consequential-opt...

> One of the starting points of the modern UX discipline was the application of psychology to industrial design in the 1940s. During World War II, Alphonse Chapanis (among others) worked to understand why pilot errors caused a large number of B-17 bomber crashes during landings. He noticed that the lever that pilots used to lower the landing gear and the one that lowered the wing flaps were identical and differentiated only by placement. This similarity caused pilots to mix the two up, especially in high-stress moments such as landing a plane. Chapanis helped redesign the controls on the B-17 bomber to avoid pilot error by changing the shape of one of the two levers, so pilots could quickly tell which lever they had in hand.

>China has to prove there is not a genocide happening

How does one prove a negative though?
It is one thing to know, and another to comprehend.

The difference is rational, informed thinking.

I can sort of understand poor people playing lottery, if for a relatively small cost they buy a thrill of checking the results every day even if they net loose the money because they buy less than equal part of large prize.

It is entirely another thing to do the same for living and offer products to those people knowing full well they are unlikely to satisfy their need.

These people may "know" they run risk of loosing their money but do not "comprehend" this is not a productive way to get rich.

And I suspect in part it may be kind of "cargo cult" in that they observe rich people gambling on exchanges but they do not understanding that this is effect rather than cause of their wealth.

Somebody should tell people that, rather than wasting time and money gambling on forex they would be better off taking a book and learning something useful.
I think that's a bit misplaced, as millenials are in their 40's now, so they probably don't just throw things away like you assume. But also...

I used to live out in the woods and had to haul my garbage to the dump every few months. (I didn't want to burn plastic, like some of my crazy neighbors did.)

The city dump changes seasonally. After Christmas, there are piles of old toys that were replaced. After summer, there are hundreds of discarded blue-plastic kid pools. After fall there is a TON of furniture. I have no idea why: do people buy more furniture in the fall in preparation for holidays?

Anyway, I see more cheap furniture from Target and department stores than I do IKEA. Ikea is inexpensive furniture, but vastly better than Walmart, Target, Sam's Club, etc. So I didn't see a lot of IKEA at the dump.
A senate sub-committee should hear all filed bug reports and decide on rule modifications to fix bugs. Major amendments should be passed by both houses like its already the case today.

If one has a formal model for law, most bugs and conflicts can be found out via a formal verification engine itself. Like TLA+.

Except they're asking people to consciously choose the face they're most attracted to and focus "more attention" on it, which still allows the user to lie. It reminds me of that "controlling video games with your mind" [1] gimmick, which was just eye tracking with extra steps, or even those "lift a ball with your mind" headsets that came out as toys a decade ago.

I'm used to thinking of chemistry as a one-way street. The "moving parts" of chemistry are untold gazillions of molecules. That introduces a lot of opportunities for entropy, and makes it very hard to reverse a chemical reaction at anywhere near the efficiency of the forward reaction.

But modern battery chemistry upends that intuition. I'll be honest that I'm not 100% certain how. Whatever it is, it works unbelievably well.
There's a lot of comments about it online now, yes, but it's pretty relevant when talking about alternatives in a thread about the cost of a big BCH transaction. This isn't shilling https://get-mxplayer.in
Absolutely 100% yes, anything that works with Google Authenticator works with 1Password.

Lucid is a cool language from the dataflow paradigm. I've been looking at dataflow architectures among other alternative architectures since one of my goals is to find a verification driven architecture. See something like "Verification Driven Formal Architecture and Microarchitecture Modeling".
How to Make Tapioca Pearls with Perfect Texture Every Time
Specialization vs. generalization isn’t what has driven my success, but my overall ability to adapt. At times in my professional life I have been a very narrow specialist - domain expert even. At other times I have greatly benefited from having more wider knowledge of multiple areas and being able to synthesize among them. It just depends.

The biggest issue I have had with people is when they get to a point where they don’t feel they have to learn anything new - “I shouldn’t have to at this point”. Always makes me laugh! You should never stop learning - I’ve seen that attitude pigeonhole and submarine otherwise smart people. If you want to be miserable, just let that mindset start to creep in and dominate your thought processes :/
I'm very happy that alternate universe doesn't exist. Libraries outnumber SaaS products 100 to 1 and I remember wrangling with software licenses on library implementations in the early 2000s. It sucked.
Ah thanks! I incorrectly assumed that if so much effort is spent on this, it must be because it helps protect something valuable (directly by preventing bank or credit hacking, or indirectly by helping secure trade secrets behind encryption, etc.).

A boycott of china is very hard to do at an individual level.

My best solution so far has been to buy used products whenever i can’t find a version that was made outside of china. But this clearly doesn’t solve the issue, since the used market would be quickly emptied if only a few more people did the same.

The fact that we are so dependent on chinese manufacturing is a problem on it’s own.
You don't even need to leave this planet to find and example of this. In East Asia, red symbolizes prosperity, and the stock market tickers use red to indicate gains.
Logic Pro - and even GarageBand would like to say hello...they are the reason, as a classically trained composer, I purchased my first Mac (Mini G4) in 2005 and have never looked back. :)

I use Pro Tools to mix and Logic to compose for this very reason. I don't use Ableton for this very reason.

Logic is certainly a mainstream DAW. :) Same with GarageBand.

EDIT: Doesn't Cubase also do this? ...like I am pretty sure there are quite a few apps that support this?
There's a lot of churn in projects / jobs but also in tooling, ecosystem, etc...

I've written web applications in: Ruby, Python, C#, Elixir, and JavaScript in the last 5 years alone. I could technically add Lua to that list, too.

I can get a job done, even jobs that are fairly complex, and sometimes (I'd wager I'm batting 0.500 for whatever that's worth) those projects do have long legs... But I don't have the sort of depth of skill or command of language and specific tooling that I expected to have at this point in my career. That is what feeds into my feelings.
That there are some entities (maybe ordered, maybe related to numbers three, five and seven in some way) and there are some values associated with those entities, two of which (accidentally or not) need to be initially set to corresponding number, but the third one possibly not, but better look around in the comments or code to understand and make sure the code is correct.

Then maybe leave a comment right after `= 1;` why this variable shouldn't be initialized with 3 that would clear up confusion for you if it was there.
I suspect it's the same reason game devs are hot for streaming. When the code only runs on machines you control, piracy becomes impossible. By contrast, trusting people to respect licenses on code on their computers is how piracy happens.

In my opinion this is a feature, not a bug, but the business reason is clear for why all commercial software is moving towards the SaaS model.

People who have been in the trenches for years tend to have difficulty ignoring the current system and its limitations when building a replacement. So they end up rebuilding the same product over again.

I've seen it a lot and have been on both sides. Newly created teams have a massive advantage when it comes to replacing existing systems because they avoid getting bogged down in the details. However, they do invariably miss implementing key features in the new system, leading to a situation where the new system is better than the old one only 80-90% of the time.

Ask HN: Is there a website crowdsourcing unofficial diversity quotas?
Is there any website crowdsourcing unofficial diversity quotas to help people make career decisions?

1: If I am a RACE-P GENDER-Q manager, I'd like to know if any companies are trying to double the number of GENDER-Q or RACE-P in senior management over the next 5 years because this would impact my decision of who to apply to and whose offer to accept, even if the pay might be initially less.

2: If I have a gender and race that does not benefit from diversity quotas, I'd want to know what the diversity quotas are at different companies. This also will affect where I apply and accept.

... Official quotas may be illegal, so I think internally companies call these "diversity goals".

In this thread, resist discussing whether diversity quotas are good or bad, legal or illegal, or justified or not. There are many other HN threads you can post those comments in. This post is asking: Is there a place with this information? It seems the information could help people with their career decisions. It might be even more valuable than levels.fyi in some cases...
"A country can change their car reliance."

Not to be bleak, but I doubt this will happen for a long time, if ever, in the US. It -may- happen regionally among a state or two, but good luck getting multiple states to coordinate on a project like this.

We can't even get things like voting centers done properly, so how in the world are we going to implement public transit? There is no incentive for politicians, and I bet the car industry would quickly give them incentives otherwise if they even attempted it.

You’re exactly right. Bitcoin investors make their money by convincing people to buy Bitcoin and never sell it (HODL).

Before anyone claims it’s the same for stocks: It’s not. Stocks are an actual claim on underlying businesses, their cash flows, IP, and their assets. Bitcoin’s attraction is that it has no underlying fundamentals to compare against, so proponents can say it’s going to whatever price they want and no one can point out how silly that is. As long as people continue buying, the price goes up. Why are people buying? Because the price goes up.

I'm not sure if I understand this graph. The cone seems to represent "no climate policy". Why should we be surprised that we are currently trending out of the "no climate policy" cone since we are implementing climate policy?

Taking a second look, that plot is only CO2 from energy and the the plot y scale has a discontinuity. If we need to get to net 0 emissions and the rate of CO2 production is still increasing that would suggest we are still a far ways off from the goal.

I just checked and the IPCC 5th assessment was made in 2014. The 6th assessment is scheduled for 2022. Does anyone know if the baselines get updated with each IPCC assessment?
