The way I see it you are putting words in my mouth and I am definitely not interested in having a discussion like that.

I never insinuated OP was a sentimental fool or wrong to raise the price. I am calling bullshit on the free market and econ 101 as an explanation of why the price got doubled and call it like it is: it's payback from OP because they were dicks to him first, everything else is pedantry and useless justifications.

edit: if anything, OP could be considered a fool since he obviously gave an under the market quote as his first proposal. Had he started with 250K from the beginning he would have gotten more since there likely would have been screams anyway and he would have risen the price all the same.
How is this related? We have freedom of the press and speech in the USA, which means in general you get to say whatever dumb thing you want. It does not mean you are free of the consequences of doing so. He made those comments a citizen and not a member of a sitting government. If the comments where made when he was a sitting government official I would expect there to be consequences, however given the last 4 years I am not sure that accountability in politics is a thing anymore. We have entered an era where the "Ministry Of Truth" world view seems to get a pass form the public.

The UN thing is a sitting government official threatening the life of a member of an international body of which they are a member of. The question is that the policy of Saudi Arabia? If so the UN should hold them accountable with censure or being expelled as this is obvious a volition of their membership. The fact that the UN can basically do zero is the reason it is useless.
Web dev with Svelte brings me back to the early days of web development - php, MySQL, jquery and XMLhttprequest. I personally have never understood all the tooling required to build a modern day react app, and oh how I have tried. Svelte dev as a way-of-thinking-framework is as close to the fundamentals as I think you can get. The dx is amazing and sveltekit takes it to the next level. #sveltalowda

This bit is incorrect:

> along with the lack of any information as to whether the vaccine has a meaningful effect on reducing transmission

There's substantial evidence coming out on his front. Not enough for the CDC to tweak recommendations yet, but I expect that in the next few months: https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-israel-va...

"Data analysis in a study by the Israeli Health Ministry and Pfizer Inc found the Pfizer vaccine developed with Germany’s BioNTech reduces infection, including in asymptomatic cases, by 89.4% and in syptomatic cases by 93.7%."

"More research is needed to draw a definitive conclusion, but the studies are among the first to suggest a vaccine may stop the spread of the novel coronavirus and not just prevent people getting ill."
For those who aren't familiar, this post is referring to a decentralised trading system running on the Ethereum blockchain.

The acronym "LP" refers to Liquidity Provider, which is anyone who locks up liquidity for two different assets to facilitate a trade.
Wait so is your problem that you don't understand when people say "place X is racist" they don't mean literally every single person in town is a racist?
If they expire you have to manage the rolling over (creating debt to pay off other debt). If the interest rates have gone up since the original loan, you pay more.

This is often forgotten when people say 'but the state can get 0.01% interest loans!'. Sure, true, but if the rate goes to 5%, that 3xGNP loan becomes quite cumbersome to service.

At 2.5% fixed forever perhaps it's interesting to keep. Also, I suppose that there are not many bonds that survive 367 year. So a lot of the debt 'disappears' as time goes on.
I hope they give you a nice bonus for trying to fall on the sword so honorably, but even if no one else read your post before you posted it then that's still a leadership failure, frankly.
Love stuff like this. It feels like we're close to some really interesting things here but I haven't quite seen it yet. Facebook/Apple have their "auto movies" but they're largely just montages over music. Any interesting/useful audio captured in those clips just seems ignored.

My brain cycles on thoughts of what GPT-3 like things could be enable here possibly. Could there be some interesting algorithm trained on which clip should come next kind of AI: these 10s or skip and check again.

Self promotion, but I did fool with a way to try and automate making stop motion movies: https://www.trylocomotion.com

Rudimentary process of letting people take a video and doing a reverse motion detection algorithm. "When there's nothing moving in frame, use that frame for the stop motion movie." But that was a fun dive into this world.
Overall, good summary. Small nitpick:

- "This would lower gas for all DApps on Ethereum" not really, the same amount of gas will still be used by other applications. However, the average gas _price_ will probably go down, as current Uniswap usage raises the gas price as people try to get their transactions executed faster.

There are two basic concepts:

I think it comes down to recording styles too.

My work flow is to start recording with OBS. Since I use a webcam in the corner while recording my screen I'm aiming for as little cuts as possible because with a webcam unless your face is positioned exactly how it was before watchers will see the jump cut (even if it's subtle). Editing where to cut manually to produce the least visible cut is an art form and takes a human touch.

But I'll press record and do my best. If I get let's say 5 minutes out of a 20 minute video down solid but screw up then I'll stop the recording. Then I'll start recording another file with OBS and resume where I left off trying to place my mouse cursor exactly where it was and lead off by saying what I was saying before so it flows.

In the end I might have 2-5 relatively good videos that I then edit together using an NLE tool. Knowing where the cuts are is easy because it's pretty much the beginning of the file to the end.

This also helps reduce massive file sizes where you end up with like a single 45 minute source video that gets edited down to 20 minutes because you made a ton of little mistakes. At a decent scale this matters because disk space while cheap isn't free for someone who is just a solo developer and does everything from 1 dev box. Usually by the end of a recording session I'll have like 15 source videos that I delete because I know they came out bad (often times getting into the first few minutes is the hardest for me), here's a screenshot of what I mean haha https://twitter.com/nickjanetakis/status/1347574482714685441.

Normally I edit my stuff at 2x speed. If I'm not adding a lot of extra effects (zooming, tooltips, highlights, blurs, overlays, etc.) it goes by pretty fast. With work flows that you're used to editing really isn't that bad. It's creating the content / material and executing the human part (delivering the video -- execution basically) that takes most of the time.

Then there's also editing things like an audio only group podcast. There's no way an automated editing process is going to be able to intelligently remove ums and ahs but leaving in a few at key places to make things sound more natural, or maybe removing a bit of stuttering from someone's line in a way that no one would ever notice. Or perhaps cutting out 2 minutes all together because it doesn't add much to the conversation and isn't referenced later so it's safe to cut and no one would ever know.
> In university, you cannot operate without a laptop, and I doubt it would be easy to work without a cell phone.

I was in uni 15 years ago and the first mistake I made was trying to do course readings of JSTOR/ScienceDirect papers directly on the screen. I thought I'd be saving paper, as after all the readings amounted to 500 or more pages per course.

After a semester of destroying my eyes and being unable to remember key details, I thought "screw that". Printed out every single reading after that. It took until 2017 to have a consumer product like the ReMarkable that's large enough to comfortably display PDFs and allow for marking up with a pressure sensitive pen.
I wouldn't say that, track before detect for example. Also multiple antenna synthetic aperture systems are almost magic.

It needs another vouch now. I was at least one of the people who vouched earlier, I think this is an important thread to be seen on HN.

You can be fired for any or no reason in the land of the free (see 'at will employment'), so I would guess so.

At minimum it would be nice to require advance notice: "we will require this new employment agreement in 3 months". Rather than the current situation where you must agree now or be fired immediately.
Right, but you seem to be implying that because two disparate groups believe the same thing it lends credence to the idea, but have you considered that maybe Group A believes what they believe due to the existence/behavior of Group B, not because of some external facts they've both found?

In other words, maybe pro-trans people assume Singal is anti-trans because there are a bunch of anti-trans reply-guys in his tweets, without actually determining if Singal himself is or not.

Or... maybe the anti-trans people are only gravitating towards Singal in the first place because the pro-trans people are calling him anti-trans (without it being true), so the anti-trans people assume he is/will be a good banner-man.

In both scenarios, there is only one prime motivator, and it is not that Singal is actually anti-trans. Might Jesse Singal be anti-trans/transphobic? Of course. Does the likelihood increase just because two disparate groups see him that way? Not really. The only thing that matters is what the man in question has actually said/done, not how people think of him.

Granting that not everyone learns to "tell time" these days

The kids across the street, now 13 and 9, have no idea or have to translate when they ask the time and I tell them it's "ten 'til eleven" or summat. I'm not 100% sure they can read an analog dial without giving it some thought. Smart kids, too, I just don't think there are a lot of analog clocks in their life. The only analog clock in my life is the watch face on my Apple Watch, and I often debate going digital full-time on that one.

In a similar vein, I'm approaching retirement and I can't fully write cursive anymore, and what little is left is sloooow.

An arguably "not finished" solution for me has been to ramp up adoption of IPFS and use Brave as a default until other browsers support it. It is speeding up my transition to full fledged adoption.

Not really? The link says having T+0 settlement would make liquidity worse because market makers can only trade with whatever cash they have on hand.

Oh interesting. Firefox says it's both enabled and set to use 1.1.1.1, and I figured that nothing would resolve if it wasn't... but if https://1.1.1.1/help is correct then it's not actually working and something else is happening.

I know I tried setting and disabling that when I was testing but I saw no change. I don't remember setting 1.1.1.1 but I may have enabled DoH. I'll see if changing the DNS server in firefox to whatever everything else is using helps.

Edit:

It looks like Firefox just silently falls back to non-DoH system defaults if it's not working. Good to know, I guess. Not really sure what the point of DoH is if networks can just silently override the setting.

> Mozilla has announced plans to enable DoH for all Firefox desktop users in the United States in 2019. DoH will be enabled for users in “fallback” mode. For example, if the domain name lookups that are using DoH fail for some reason, Firefox will fall back and use the default DNS configured by the operating system (OS) instead of displaying an error.

"Connection reset by peer" usually means that either the remote host or an intermediate gateway/firewall sent a TCP RST packet, which is not used during normal connections. Wireshark should help figure this out -- it's a superpower for anyone working in dev or IT.

I have done this, I moved to Southern Maine from Ohio. A large reason was the political environment. The problem is that most people aren't satisfied with live and let live. You can see this in the flooding of courts with conservative judges, the rise of the Trump style party, and the constant fight over covid. When you have two diametrically opposed groups with shared power you have to have you need a common based and view point or the whole thing falls apart. I believe that we have reached the point of no return and the USA is broken. I don't believe it can be fixed at this point.

I think you might do better than many managers who are incompetent and don't know it. I think it would only be in bad faith if you had no intention of trying to be good at it.

No they didn't. Not in any meaningful sense.

How exactly what that machine does can be called a "computation"? in what sense is it "programmable"?
My point that it is very easy to call things useless when they fail at something.

As I’m sure you would know better than I, the UN is an attempt to address what is likely the most difficult and important problem that humanity has ever tried to address: global cooperation. It is an extremely easy target to throw shade at, I find it unhelpful and even inaccurate to call it “useless” writ large.
Giving up a new "cool" few things doesn't mean you will "miss out" on new things. You still can try new things when they come out.

I, too, have an issue with people jumping on "RMS has transphobia" bandwagon without actually reading his words.

He is argument boils down to, some languages have four (or more) sets of pronouns: male, female, single and/or plural of people that is genderless (either explicitly or implicitly), singular and/or plural of inanimate object(s).

English has male, female, plural of people that is explicitly genderless (but not singular), and singular only of inanimate objects (but not plural). We don't have a pronoun that can fit a singular third gender or genderless reference. Using they as a singular pronoun in any situation often leads to awkward speech.

Other languages do other things, such as inanimate objects often being referred to with male or female pronouns (independent of having a singular inanimate pronouns), having both singular and plural inanimate object pronouns, or having singular genderless pronouns.

Adding additional words to English may be required to deal with people who do not wish to use male or female pronouns, but also do not wish to be called an it, or be forced to be called a they inappropriately (since they are not a plural, nor a royal we). Such words should appear similar to regular words, such words should be also standardized and regulated.

/End of RMS boiling down: at no point does he say trans people don't deserve pronouns that can fit their needs, he only illustrates that how we handle it now is not a good solution.
After a short exposure to SFMC I can see why someone would be concerned about the impact they would have on Heroku, but it is good to hear there are reasons for optimism.
I don't have any particular feelings about Rust, but proponents of Rust contend it is good for systems work, and that its memory safety checks eliminate memory safety issues arrising from safe code and that limiting code that doesn't pass those safety checks to marked areas makes it easier to audit and reason about memory safety leading to fewer memory safety issues in the final product.

An operating system is the essential piece of systems work, so a Rust OS should serve as a demonstration of the efficacy of Rust in systems work. Is the performance on par with contemporary operating systems? Is the code about as easy to understand as contemporaries? Is there a reduction in memory safety issues vs contemporaries?

Positive results from such a project could inspire others to use Rust for more systems work and perhaps integration into other OS kernels and/or key userspace libraries.

Plus, writing an OS is kind of fun.
Ask HN: How to hire engineers to refactor legacy codebase
Our teams responsible for shipping highly code in a waterfall like schedule that integrates with tons of other libraries and is very perf, cpu and memory critical.

How would you go about hiring high quality talent to do the same? What level of experience should we look for? How do avoid fatal pitfalls?
