I have a bunch of Bose gear, and I'm generally happy with them.

Why did I get them? I like the industrial design of their products, and the sound is more than good enough for me.

Do I know that I can get better sounding gear for my money? Yes, absolutely. In fact, I used to hate on Bose for that very reason when I was younger.

Do I care that I can get better sounding gear for my money? Not nearly as much as I used to. When I am buying audio gear, I'm no longer interested in doing research. I just want something (preferably compact) that looks nice in my home and sounds good to my non-audiophile ears. Having said that, everyone has their own set of priorities, and should do what is best for their own situation.
When I talked about limits I was not referring to a hard limit with a clock and amount of hours they can spend. Maybe it could be just as simple as teaching importance of things ("you can play videogames once you finish your homework"), this is also a limit.
Haha. Could you imagine the horror of a USED DIAMOND!

It reminds me of the scene in Lord of War about the atrocity of a “used gun”.
I actually went and searched for some of the text in this comment because it reminded me so strongly of real responses I saw to this article 20 years ago
They all learned from MS. MS tried to buy Netscape but didn't offer enough and got turned down. So MS set out to use its position to boost its own browser instead, anti-trust followed because it was obvious MS was using its position to muscle out an independent company.

For the big Tech companies now, small acquisitions are win win wins, they get the people, they get whatever was developed and they permanently avoid Microsofts Netscape situation.

That being said, I'm guessing no small number of these startups were setup with the express purpose of being bought out like this.
So basically what I said:

> And of course, don't pretend to put limits at 10 when they weren't earlier on.
The line between ("good") education and ("bad") ideology is not nearly this clear. Religions run schools for a reason. Canada started Residential Schools, and China started vocational training in Xinjiang, all for the same reason. You can call it continuing the culture, or passing on the traditions, or inculcating values, or working for progress, or social change, or cultural genocide, depending on your bent. It's the war for minds. And young minds are impressionable.
Anyone read his self published novels?
I also feel like the "real" border is a line in a GIS database. Sure, the stone is supposed to be the border based on a 19th century treaty but we all know a 21st century government is not going to actually treat the stone's placement as the official border.
This was copypasta before the term existed. This and bash.org were staples of early internet 'hacker culture'

Alternate questionnaire.

Does your child have interests outside of sports and video games? Does your child work independently on projects? Does your child look outside the box and solves difficult challenges? Does your child question the status quo and seeks to find answers outside of their domain?

If you answered Yes to any of these questions then you are a good parent. Just make sure they aren't doing anything illegal and they will turn out okay.
The nit picked here is that your anecdote was about removing all wolves from an area whereas the mosquito discussion is about removing one mosquito species of many when that species is non-native and only comprises 4% of the overall population. The potential for issues is massively different.
I brought my now-spouse along for ring shopping, on her own theory that she'd be wearing the thing and should therefore have some input. She was actually more opposed to mined diamonds than I was at the time. We talked about this extensively, and considered both lab gems and corundum gems (ruby/sapphire).

We went through over a dozen jewelry stores, each of them pushing mined diamonds so hard that it angered us. The eventual solution wasn't even that we found an amenable jewelry store. We ended up obtaining a ring via a private transfer from a family member. While the ring contains a mined diamond, it has quite a bit of sentimental value and didn't really put price pressure on the public market. It was a good solution for us, but obviously not scalable!
Show HN: Amazon EKS Optimizer – a platform to analyze and reduce AWS costs
This is not anywhere close to true. Have you built a bootstrapped startup from scratch and negotiated an acquisition? It's far, far harder than practicing a few leetcode Facebook problems and getting a referral.
Battery levels show up natively on iOS so I’m not sure why they don’t on macOS as well. Starting to think the macOS Bluetooth stack is just incomplete.
Hi HN! Excited to share this with you. If you've tried using EKS or other managed Kubernetes platforms native to the cloud provider, you know how the story goes. It's easy to set up and use, but there's not much consideration to how much will it all cost. What we've built at CAST AI is a platform that both analyzes and optimizes your compute resources on EKS clusters. The process goes like this:
1. You connect your EKS cluster with read-only permissions
2. CAST AI delivers you a free savings report with suggestions for cost savings
3. You decide if the numbers make sense and either enable the automatic optimization with CAST AI or implement them on your own.The savings are usually 50% and up if you're spending at least somewhere around 4 figures on the cloud bill. I'll answer your questions here, but you can check the platform out here: https://cast.ai/eks-optimizer
The fact Facebook used Onavo and lied out the ass about Instagram and Whatsapp automatically means they should be broken up, in my opinion

It's like typical "I don't need anything for my birthday". Even the most rational people tend to get disappointed if they really get nothing.

> You probably overdosed.

Maybe but maybe not. I myself smoke cannabis every day in order to avoid anxiety, but I know plenty of people who can't even sit in the same room as someone who is smoking as they'll get enough cannabis in their system to trigger some reaction.

So while anxiety could be because of an overdose, some people really do get a strong reaction to even the smallest amount of cannabis.
They don't want to build the whole interface but they sure want to move things around and try out pages with different layouts.

The goal is to allow them to ship marketing experiments as quickly as possible. With Jamstack, they always have to wait on the developer.

The only people who enjoy Jamstack are developers themselves because it's a cool toy to play with. I used to like playing around with Gatsby and Contentful 3 years ago. Then I decided that businesses need to make money and I can't be doing what I find fun to use at the detriment of the ecosystem.
You probably know the field better than I, but when I was in the area I heard Stanford SLAC did some interesting work: https://www6.slac.stanford.edu/

I'm in a different (but also somewhat niche) field of engineering-for what it's worth my experience was that jobs in my field are rarely advertised and the really good scientific ones often aren't public at all, so I'd suggest identifying organizations doing interesting work and doing very targeted inquiries as opposed to a breadth search (which you may be doing already!)

Finally: Your CV is excellent, love the formatting. For your resume, the norm that I've encountered is that it should be compact. Especially for someone in the early stage of their career, I should be able to take a quick glance and sum up your accomplishments, and it's highly suggested that it be one page.

Good luck with the search!
Equivalent is not as good when what matters is what other people think.

Even if the person displaying a luxury artifact agrees that some other artifact is equivalent, if the people they're displaying it to don't also agree, then there is a difference that's relevant to the purpose of the artifact, which is to advertise your wealth.

Though the topic at hand is diamonds, which are strongly associated with wedding proposals, this principle applies equally to sports cars, guitars, etc.

The outputs on pageload are just a random uncurated set I ran. I never claimed smaller models like the MtG models were immune to the same curation issues as larger text generation models.

As someone who did try to reproduce RoboRosewater with LSTMs years ago, I can say using GPT-2 overall has a higher signal-to-noise ratio in terms of generating interesting cards which is a win.
Demystifying Website User Experience
The board of directors voting on this kind of controversial move in private is a surprising lack of transparency from the FSF. Have they done anything like this before?
You're totally right. This mentality is religious.
Stable countries like South Africa where getting carjacked is not even noteworthy. Good joke.
The easiest thing for everyone involved is for their neighbor to grant an easement for the existing driveway. That way they can keep using it, but it's with explicit permission, so the neighbor doesn't have to worry about an adverse possession claim. If they're not amenable to that, the specifics digfer by state, but usually it's a "boundary line agreement" or similar where you'd basically be buying that small sliver of land and amending the property line accordingly. Here's hoping their neighbors are reasonable!
It is power applied, and power rarely bows to ethical concerns. We’re going to see more of it too as the implications of new technology seeps into the various power structures. It takes decades, but you’re seeing it happen.
> I don't know if people would appreciate such a movie today

I'm fairly certain most people outside of the north-american-cancel bubble know how to separate fantasy from reality, so while maybe hard to watch, there won't be any uproar.

Edit: judging by the downvotes, HN is not outside that bubble, my mistake
I always thought that a tech company buying another tech company was the strangest thing: if another company makes software, and you make software, and you want software that does what that other company's software does... why not just write new software to do that? But, clearly, these guys know something I don't know.
> that it might actually be easier to do a bootstrapped start-up for a year and get bought by Facebook than it is to grind leetcode and interview-prep for a year and roll the dice on the interview circuit. I wish I were joking.

If you are not joking you are delusinal, this is not even remotly true.

Fascinating technology. I wonder when the first countries will try to use it to fight against Chinese vessels fishing entire ecosystems dry:

- Africa has been hit hard, with fishers losing at least 40% of income (although here these ships do seem to have some sort of license): https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/how-china-s-fishermen-ar...

- North Korean squid populations have been depleted so hard by Chinese vessels that Japan and South Korea felt the impact in reduced fishing amounts: https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/11/30/china-beijing-fishing-a...

- The Philippines even reported "permanent structures" having been built on coral reefs to support illegal fishing: https://www.9news.com.au/world/south-china-sea-dispute-phili...
Sounds like you built something for yourself instead of building something that the market wants.

Every non technical person I've spoken with loves Wordpress and Squarespace for good reason.
IMHO that she is looking really hard for allegories, symbols, representations, of your love is a really good sign for a successful marriage, one that will hopefully really, without doubt or question, last "for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, 'tell death do you part". So when the two of you get old and wrinkled, not see or hear so well, have joint pains, the children have moved away and you don't see the grandchildren often enough, you will still have your love for each other that you celebrate with the diamond, the accomplishments of your lifetime together, the stability of your marriage, your home, big times at Thanksgiving, the Holidays, your wedding anniversary, your birthdays, the birthdays of the kids and their graduations, accomplishments, marriages, births and children, the friends you have made all along, the memories in your home, etc.

Again, IMHO, one of the biggest problems in life is solving the problem of being alone, and for nearly everyone the best solution is a really good marriage.

Here is a secret scorecard:

You give knowledge of yourselves to each other, that is, keep your spouse well informed on your thoughts and feelings.

You really care about each other.

You respect and respond to each other.

Neither of you tries to manipulate, fool, or exploit your spouse.

You can trust each other.

IMHO, it is good to do well on this scorecard.
I agree with the first part of your point, but anecdotally and from personal experience I’ve twice been berated for wearing a mask out in the open (this was in the Netherlands). Wearing the mask in open spaces is not even something I often do, but it was clear that it does carry political meaning on both ends of the spectrum, specially considering that the first of those two times, I was also asked to go back to the country I’m from.
This reminds me of prime Slashdot commentary. My recall isn't good enough to have an intuition if this would have been negative or +5.

I made the first unofficial Google Voice mobile app back in the day, and less that 100 people ever used it, so I didn't hear a daggum word from them. Would have been nice to catch their eyes though.

Yes, this is pretty much what actual "metes and bounds" deeds from several centuries ago look like.
There is such a stone marker in my parent's garden (their house is definitely fully in French teritory)!

To be fair they are living so close to the frontier that my cellphone picks up the Belgian cell network in their house...
I would have immediately ended it right there, but that's probably why I'm single. Every time I was in a relationship long enough to discuss marriage, I made it clear that there is no way I would ever buy a diamond. Only one was actively on board with it, because she liked the idea of picking out an alternative gem.
Acquisition is not about buying the software, it's about buying the user base.

Except for that it uses technology that harms the environment. I don't think this trend is "fun" compared to a normal donation drive when it has these negative side effects.
Looks like it does not handle firmware updates, which is a plus. I uninstalled the app when they started rolling a firmware update to my QC35 that was widely reported to reduce the effectiveness of the noise cancellation.
Bought yellow gold and white gold wedding bands on Amazon for a few hundred dollars each.
Last I checked, lab grown diamonds had no fluorescence. If that is still the case, it might make fluorescent diamonds more valuable than non, as a sign they are more “natural”. Though in the past fluorescence in diamonds was considered a negative trait.

Guide on migrating off a self-managed Gitlab instance to gitlab.com
You’re just proving my point further - you provided a link to an article more than a decade old that has links to articles even older than that. I would really like people to learn about the industry because it would cut down on the inane comments in HN stories like this. The fact that you still hold DeBeers accountable shows your lack of knowledge - they don’t advertise any more AND they don’t have a monopoly AND they’re not even the #1 diamond producer any more.

“Produce nothing but feelings” — that’s called advertising. Same as Coke, BMW and Tumi.
But they DO know about it, the thing is that as long as they only react (manually) once these cases reach the news, it will never really generate too much negative PR. It's been that loop for a years now.

So in the end nobody at Google really cares and the sentiment you hear from people working there sums up to "Eh, it's hard to do, these things are just regrettable oopsies".
Surely someone in Alphabets leadership understands the damage Google is doing to their brand by only giving projects a few months to "make it big" before pulling the rug out? Look at all the developers who post on here who will not use GCP because of the fear of Google removing or dropping support for important features with no warning!

I once inherited one such system, it was running on 2.5.1.. My job was to move it to a zone on s10.. It actually pretty much worked, I had to port it forwards to S8, but then word got around that someone had done 'something' to this ancient pile of tech debt and feature requests started coming in so I rewrote it all in perl in an afternoon.. I didn't even try to understand the code, I just used tcpdump to look at the requests/responses and treated it as a black box.

I don't miss this kind of work ;)

This may be obvious to others but it serves as an "ah ha" moment.

I like being efficient in doing work to get things done. I also like slack because I want to enjoy life.

I also recognize increasing workload doesn't mean being efficient, just that you do more work.
Sometimes they don't want the software that much that they want the customers.

Part of me wonders why they didn’t buy Zenimax instead of Microsoft, and make the games Stadia exclusives. Good library, Google could afford it, and it would show how powerful the platform was (since things like Doom are the high action games people usually think suck on streaming).

It’s like they built the tech, which is probably some of the best stuff out there (Stadia had less stutter for me than GeForce Now), and then they forgot to hire a few good business people to actually run the product, and then they wondered why it didn’t work. Why wasn’t it all-you-can-eat?
Why didn’t they produce a single first party game from beginning to end for the release? Nothing makes a lot of sense here.
Imagine if only 60% of the population were willing to get the Polio vaccine in the 1950s? We'd have iron lungs everywhere, and never be rid of that scourge.

Yet here we sit, in the 21st century, with 40% of the population dead set on letting Covid mutate in their bodies and thus work its way around the vaccine.

We're never going back to normal at this rate because of those who aren't doing their duty and getting the vaccine.
