>Credit where credit's due, Daan Tech didn't completely lock down the machine with Bob cassettes. Once empty, you can leave it there and add detergents manually.

If that was the true concern they'd have locked that up as well. They want you to pay for convenience, not for the warranty's sake.
The bounty story has been corrected, it was very thin to begin with.

The US has a long history of abuses and orchestrated false flag attacks on Cuba. See Operation Northwoods [0] and Cubana de Aviación Flight 455 [1]. Somewhat ironically, the US illegally transmits EM radiation to the island in the form of a propaganda-heavy radio station known as Radio Martí. [2]

I ask you to please consider these historical events before deciding that Cuba has zapped people’s brains using targeted microwave beams.

44 transgender people killed last year.

19,000 people killed last year

0.6% of the population is trans according to wikipedia.

So we should expect 114 trans murder victims if they had the same rate of being a victim of homicide at the standard population

Looks like they're safer.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_demographics_of_the_Uni....

Also I said about as safe. Your risk of being involved in a homicide is ~1%. You'd need to be at a much higher risk of being killed before this impacts your overall safety.
That application wasn't updated, full stop.
When they implemented it, they opted everyone in and buried the notice in a wall of text. I only caught it when Little Snitch notified me that brew was reaching out to Google.

The project still doesn't seem to understand how bad of a mistake this was and how bad their response to it was. But as the project lead told us while playing the victim, if we're not contributors, our opinions on the matter mean nothing.
The latest tile is thinner and more flat. You could probably fit it in a wallet but the round shape of the airtag makes it a bit more awkward. Still, I'm sure people will make it work.
And they regularly get overhauls and additions.
> All of these attack vectors can be pulled against a statically-linked program too

Yeah, but then the attacker would have to pull them against a bazillion apps, in stead of just infecting a bunch of more or less generic DLLs and then just replace all copies of those wherever he finds them.
Based on the evidence it's just as likely these are some kind of functional disorder as the product of an attack. Be careful about believing things just based on what intelligence agents report.
Sure, but a transaction cannot be verified without first being part of a mined block.

So paying the cost of mining is a prerequisite for verification.

You can definitely separate out the costs, but it’s misleading to imply that mining isn’t a requirement and that you also have to pay that cost first.

And a statement like this…

> The mining is not needed at all for verifying transactions, it is used to secure the network and to create new block of transactions.

…isn’t correct - mining is needed for verification. You cannot have verification of new transactions without mining.
And C compilers routinely optimize structures in such a way that they are impossible to inspect in a debugger. Because of SRA, non escaping aggregates might even not be allocated on a memory location at all.
Asserting that high minimum wage makes the fast food model untenable is a strong claim. Given that it is made in tha face of the apparant profitability of fast food in high wage minimum wage countries, then burden of proof falls on you.

So as far as I can tell, you are just trying to spread doubt without doing any work to justify that doubt.

IMHO fast food is a durable industry and while prices/locations/hours may change, it seems absolutely ridiculous to argue that there isn't a business model that will be profitable.
“Latinx” is basically an “embrace, extend, extinguish” attempt of Latin American ethnicity in my view. It offers what appears to be acceptance, but only within a progressive Anglo-American framework with a bunch of extra signifiers on top. At the end you have English language thinkpieces about taco authenticity, and assimilation into establishment politics and culture.
You know something ive noticed? I've never actually heard a minimum wage worker talk about 1400 a month rent. Ive heard them say rent is too high, but I have never heard them say that rent is 1400 dollars. It always seems to be the people who "don't have to live on minimum wage, thank god."

I think what is happening is young professionals who make decent money and come from middle class backgrounds and have never lived outside of the uptown exclusive areas see their rent and say "I can't imagine how hard it would be for minimum wage workers" thinking they live with the same expenses.
Something like that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUNFc1dfU7k
Is shell by itself valuable at all without the surrounding toolchain?
Thank you for sharing this.

It's interesting to see how certain valuable ideas (having multiple pieces of reading matter open) can really take off once key impediments (space usage, weight, cost) are removed -- today, browser tabs are an exemplary manifestation of this idea.

Very cool!
Or... just ignore it? It's grass, not toxic waste.

Even better, subsidize it; it's valuable habitat for all kinds of species threatened by human activity.
nah they don't really mean anything for the development of Literature or thought, their importance is only regional and all they did was import style and content into portuguese.
Make it 3 months along with learning the existing codebase in addition to the stack. Still much cheaper than getting new people and building up them from scratch. The loss of product expertise and product-domain knowledge is a bigger kick in the balls of the organization than the amount of dollars shuffled in salaries with the change.
Who cares about micro (or even macro) scratches on the back? It’s the front you look at.
The beautiful thing about technology is that anyone can do it. You feel like people are implying you're too stupid to do it, which no one will ever (or should ever) say since part of everyone's coming to terms with tech is screwing up in all the myriad ways required until you get it right.

Before YouTube, people self-hosted. That is still an option. You can drop your work product on a server, configure it to only accept requests from servers or locations you control, then link in your content til the cows come home. You may need a cache to handle higher traffic loads, but once you find a setup that works for you, you're golden.

Use Youtube for discovery all you want, but understand that someone else's computer will never be as immune to external sources of disruption and malicious bureaucracy as something you own and independently operate.

If it's important enough to become a revenue stream, it's important enough to accomodate some cap and op-ex to ensuring you have a fallback option for. The rest of the world can be relied upon, however, to want to get their licks in whenever somebody has nice things. Plan accordingly.

This is why we all can't get along and just have nice things.
Greenlight Biosciences (one of our portfolio companies) is using RNA as a highly targeted-species-specific pesticide.
No, it's that based on the scant material evidence here, almost any explanation is just as reasonable as, it's a secret Cuban ray weapon.

Oh I don't feel ire, maybe some form of frustration at best (i'm not young enough anymore to get angry for a talk :)

It's more about the 'wheel reinvention' syndrome that creates fatigue in me.
As a matter of safety, I never read non-expired patents to avoid possible willful infringement.
No, they wouldn’t.
I looked into getting a pager recently; my plan was to disable my household internet completely for some number of hours per day (by plugging the router into a Christmas tree timer!), keeping the pager around for when my team needs to reach me in an emergency.

I was surprised to find that, as the article mentions, there's basically only one place to buy new pagers -- and they're quite expensive. After thinking about it some more, I realized that what I really wanted was a separate phone number that my team could send SMS messages to. And I didn't even need to build my own pager-like device out of a RasPi or something; I could just buy a cheap flip phone. Total cost for phone and 1000 SMS messages is <$100.
I honestly found this completely unreadable. For example (and there are many others), what does this even mean:

> This place hadn't quite ascended to the level of giving outages notable names ("Call the Cops", "Silent Night", "A Tree Did It" being just a few from elsewhere), it remained just "1152" after an associated ticket in a bug tracking system.
Yes. Also if you look at the choice of words this citation only claims an attack, but not microwave attack.
The claim is that the attacks also occurred in Russia, China, and other undisclosed locations.
This is what I would guess. They didn't want to see a bunch of broken look airtags floating around in a year's time and they also didn't want to spring for the metal reinforcement.
Maybe, but the latter definitely isn't the case with Python, especially in case of PyPy (or at least it wasn't the case the last time I tried that), so there's that.
Not exactly. Mussolini's "corporatism" was more encompassing -- not just industry but also guilds, clans, the military. But what hasn't been merged with the power of the state in China?
Of course this is terrible but I would love to charge my laggard customers who delay major upgrades
30 seconds for startup is really weird. Mine starts in a few seconds, and is far from fully customized. Initializing the language servers of open buffers takes by far the most time.

Emacs has many solutions to restore buffers. I use `desktop`, which is built-in. Use whichever you like, I really can't tell you the pros/cons.

Have you ever tried setting the garbage collection treshold to a large value? There's definitely no use for it during startup. It might make sense though to trigger it in a hook after startup.
I think because you still want the counter so you know when to refill the cartridge. You’re not really benefiting by having it always show full.
I'm sorry that has been your experience, but keeping it invite only has helped to screen folks and lower the number of trolls.

I'm happy to send you an invite!
Maybe, it's still incredible to think that memory pressure would create that much latency. And I'm not that picky, I use a hp48 calc (on which lag is almost a feature). I'm just shocked when people say emacs is sluggish while vscode flies.
Cats hear and respond better to high pitched sounds.

I absolutely do mimic cat language and they very quickly pick up on it.

I’ve got sounds I make that call just about any cats. Like I’ve made the sounds to stranger cats while out walking and they immediately respond. It’s a clicking sound - pretty sure it’s a common sound.
I worked at a UPS hub before Amazon was much of a thing, and I can say that what you're describing is nothing new or specific to Amazon. Logistics companies, especially in the warehouse/sorting areas, are abjectly horrid to work for.

edit: and that was a union gig.
I can't work out what's going on from that site. The tutorial and download sections seem like a placeholder, and the github link is dead, with the user having no related project (publicly).

That’s understandable, but the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.

Why is the US still vehemently opposed to Cuba, or improving its relationship with Cuba?

Even North Korea has better standing with the US than Cuba, but it makes little sense.
lol same here. i think fvwm2 was my favorite.

i remember it took some time to customize.

it was right before everyone went nuts with the alpha blending terminals and enlightenment wm and all that craziness. (i never got into that... too slow and buggy!)

i was a big fan of the one that looked like nextstep though. reminded me of my old next slab i picked up in high school.
If someone is using Docker professionally, maybe not a issue. I don't mind paying for software, and it could probably be expensed - although I am sure there's some cases where it isn't true or is more complicated.

No, what's galling about this is that Docker is used so widely. What about open source projects using Docker? Now you have to apply for an "Open Source Plan"? Great. How does that even work with contributors if they just want to install Docker to check out the project? If a project I was working on depended on Docker, I'm not sure if I'd rather spend time figuring out how to ditch Docker vs fill out their application.
> I think it's awful from a privacy and device-ownership standpoint, but let's leave that aside.

Why is that so?
Yeah, especially without the support of the Soviet Union, it's very unlikely Cuba is interested in provoking the United States.
Economics tells us that the marginal propensity to consume is higher among low-income individuals than high-income individuals. So without delving into the details, I think it's reasonable to assume that a much greater percentage of investors in crypto/meme stocks/etc. are wealth(ier) individuals. Not to mention that those wealthier individuals just have a lot more money to invest in the first place, far and above a few stimulus payments.
Steam isn’t a free market, neither is Walmart. They are private market places operated on a free market. And that market doesn’t become any less free by them having terms for the suppliers who want to use their market places to sell their products.
There are subtypes of each. Influenza A and B cause the seasonal flu. The subtypes are named by their hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). E.g. H1N1, H5N9, etc.
I wasn't meaning to say that your efforts at freezing out conversation about the downvote are having that effect. I'm saying that's the effect of the (current) downvoting mechanic itself. What you're trying to freeze out is people expressing, however indirectly, a legitimate concern about the social environment being created by the current mechanics of the site.

In other words, I think you're being a bit too quick to the trigger to dismiss these sorts of comments as just being boring conversation. My impression is that they're actually a rather banal tip to a much more consequential iceberg. You can't see the rest of it because it concerns things that are mostly happening out of view, out in meatspace, and typically only manifest themselves indirectly in what's happening on Hacker News. Especially if you're trying to "freeze out" the more direct manifestations.
Possibly for older networks - the remining one in the UK does encrypt.

I used to have a basic pager in the 80's when I was on call for BT / Dialcom
Indeed. It does not need precisely multithreading, but at least asynchrony, which is to allow side tasks to not block the main function of editing text. I have low familiarity with emacs internals, but I can assume there is an event loop, which is a basic form of this.

Perhaps this needs be used more, or there is another mechanism to be developed allowing tasks to be interrupt/resumed in priority service to the editing functions. A key example may be mode line refresh: this certainly must happen on the main thread, but it ought not block other more important items.
> I’m hoping I can get at least another year out of this thing.

A year should be no problem. I just replaced my iPhone 6s and Apple Watch 0 in February. If I hadn’t decided I wanted the NFC functionality I would have simply replaced the battery.

I don’t bother with a case because it’s often simply my pocket, which is a case I guess.
The things you describe are not stack switches. They are domain switches. Domain switching is more difficult and some people may be unwilling to do so, but for especially senior devs, its still pretty reasonably doable.
Why does it only work on chromium?
I do this one on accident frequently (e.g. when trying to pull the top bar down to respond to a notification). I’m glad I know exactly what triggers it now so that maybe I can learn to quit triggering it all the time.

Ask HN: What makes a good job description for a developer? (Examples inside)
People often complain about job descriptions as unrealistic (unreasonable list of skills), not descriptive of the work, full of buzzwords etc.

What would you like to see in job descriptions for developers?

Here are you two job descriptions for developers. They seem well-written to me. Agree or not?

- Tailwind Labs: Full-Stack Developer (now closed): https://jobs.tailwindui.com/full-stack-developer

Are these the types of job descriptions you'd like to see more of? If you are hiring, do you find these descriptions a good template to emulate? Do these job descriptions only work for small teams or small companies? Or can they work in larger companies too?
Thank you! I’ll check it out. I appreciate it!
The higher priced apps that cost $25 or more are dominated by e-commerce — 13 out of 17 of them are Shopify apps. Of the remaining 4, one is an app for professionals (DSM-5 Diagnostic Criteria) but the others are a curious mix (GOLF NAVI PRO, Nursery Rhymes by Dave & Ava, and GO Launcher Super VIP).
I have no idea why fixups cause less sharing.

I get this now. The fixups are runtime patches for call addresses in the application code to point to where the shared library function was mmap()'d. Those patches, although they will all be the same, are in fact COW writes which will in turn prevent page sharing. The solution that Linus doesn't mention is prelink.

My spouse, who suffers from an autoimmune disorder, suffered similar symptoms. Severe enough that she won’t be able to get the second dose. My understanding (from her doc) is that this is a known, but uncommon side effect for people with autoimmune conditions.

Hi Nelson, maybe you can explain this to me: why so much hate towards what3words? Chris once came to our office to see if there was a fit for us to use their invention. We did not find that it solved a pain point for us, so nothing came out of it... but the amount of rage that I see that they have been accumulating towards the years. Is there a story behind it beyond "I want to do something similar and can implement it, but <patent>?" Thanks in advance

Happy to hear you like it! This year I'm also planning some updates for the rest of my apps.
So far I don't have any technical issues with the input sources, just need to find some time to work on them. (These applications are developed as weekend projects, so it generally takes a while to add new features.)
I think Unison's core concept[0] is the right way to address this: content-addressable packages/libraries. You can then get the best of both worlds - apps that need the same version of a dependency automatically share it, instead of duplicating it, but there's no chance of mistakenly substituting incompatible versions (barring a hash collision).

What about when a security vulnerability in a shared library is found? Each dependent app would need to be explicitly changed to accept the patched version, once compatibility has been established. The problem with trying to force-update all apps by patching the sole version of a shared dependency is that it may break some apps. This runs afoul of the maxim "security at the expense of usability comes at the expense of security." At best, you end up with some hacky dependency-management system, at worst the patch remains all-or-nothing so that the slowest apps veto the update.

You can also imagine that the list of versions of a shared library could be maintained in an implicitly declarative fashion, so that old versions with no dependent apps could be garbage-collected using reference-counting.

Their whole "business model" (in quotes because thankfully it doesn't seem to be anywhere near profitable) is to convince naive people that they're the good guys helping emergency services locate people, that their system is flawless and that they're the first to solve this "problem" so they can then rent-seek from GPS/mapping developers once enough idiots swear by this system and start demanding it as a feature.
I always thought it'd be cool if someone put a pager chipset into my smart phone so I could configure it to receive a page whenever someone was calling me and only connect to the cellular network if I wanted to take the call.

This makes the analogy even more appropriate. We know the spike protein is harmful in some amount, but we think a small enough amount produced forever should be safe. Maybe we'll learn otherwise.
