Thanks to user Decide for the following format:

Hi, I'm Luke. I find satisfaction in working with geospatial stuff and on tricky responsive interface problems, figuring out how to work with old code or new codebases, as well as learning from my colleagues and teaching when I can.

WHY TO HIRE LUKE:

I'm persistent when it comes to solving problems and troubleshooting, and consider myself fairly good at it; though I know there's a lot I can learn. I’ve done so on one major website that serves billions in transactions annually and for a tiny website that hosts research datasets.
I like to challenge myself technically and in terms of responsibility; probably not a rare thing to find here.
I'm approachable, usually quite humble, and don't let my ego get in the way of collaborative problem solving. Feedback and practice are the major ways to improve.
You want someone who is great in emergencies. I don't tend to panic, and have experience resolving issues that legitimately demand attention.
You want someone who thinks testing with users in real-world settings is worthwhile.
You need someone who values their own spoken communication skills. I have no experience in public speaking exactly, but I feel like I do ok when discussing or explaining things in a group context and find that it's an important thing to improve.

WHY NOT TO HIRE LUKE:

You need someone to communicate with customers or handle support inquires daily; not communication in general, just timely replies on a short cadence. This is not a strong point for me.
You can't let me have any agency over when or how I do work, and that work has little variety to it over a number of quarters. I'm a hard/smart worker, but I'm very cautious of burnout, and need to pick my battles carefully.
You want someone with experience in management or lots of leadership. I'm interested in taking on some higher level responsibilities, but I don't yet have those skills.
You want someone who has desirable stress responses to artificial emergencies (crunch time). What makes me good in real emergencies also makes me awful in imaginary ones (crunch time because of ill-considered deadlines).
You want someone who's been grinding leetcode problems. I have a brief and recent exposure to academic DS&A material, am interested in the subject and can build a priority queue, but I haven't yet passed Amazon's coding test :) (I also have a copy of CTCI, but it's rotting on a shelf)
That would be great, but in that case governments can’t double- or triple-tax the same money. Governments are used to tax the same income multiple times and then complain when someone does shady stuff to avoid paying. For example:

Sale -> VAT -> Corporate Tax -> Employment and social security taxes -> Dividend and capital gains tax
We use excalidraw within our team at work. It's amazingly easy to produce diagrams to share business logic around. I might recommend this.

My biggest pain is that we need to manage and share the drawings ourselves. I normally share a screenshot and I have a collection of .excalidraw files saved locally
Even Luxembourg and Ireland have non-zero corporate income tax rates. If Amazon is managing to not pay any corporate income tax, then it's corporate income must be 0 or negative, so the fact they have low corporate income taxes is irrelevant.
Understanding Vectors from a Machine Learning Perspective
what a wild story. the first thing that came to my mind reading through wasn't a picture of a modern Mac but of TempleOS. It's amazing how we study computing changed since then as in we're focusing more on learning about all the required plumbing and duct tape than the actual machines. Not that this isn't fun too but it has essentially shifted everything. Getting into "mainstream" computers back then was such a different world than what it is now.

Suppose you could get the same type of "fun" today by playing with breadboards but you'd have to seek it out on purpose. Sitting in front of a modern machine is just so much more abstraction that gets in the way.

I wonder why some of the indies didn't negotiate a fixed cost per new user acquisition? Particularly the ones where this is very low.

On the other hand it's pretty easy to create perverse incentives for devs or fans to create fake accounts, so maybe a lump sum is better.

I care deeply, everyone does! The question is, out of all the species that go extinct on literally a daily basis, why on god's green earth would you pick this one to protect? What is it about it that is so vital we can't afford to lose it?
I really love my Bose headphones and in the past year I've used them almost exclusively on my Mac.

Started running into problems where because I didn't have visibility on the battery level they would die on me during focused work or meetings

I know there's some way to get the voice assistant to tell me the battery level but that's not as useful as being able to glance in the top-right hand corner and having to move from my keyboard to press some buttons I can't see on my head is a bit silly?

So thanks to this repo (https://github.com/Denton-L/based-connect) and the ability to dump Bluetooth logs from Android to Wireshark I was able to figure out how the official Bose app communicates to the headphones not just to get information but also to send commands such as Connecting/Disconnecting paired devices, changing the noise canceling level and media control

It wasn't all easy, there's not great support for Bluetooth in the JS world and I wanted it to be cross-platform one day so Swift was off the table but it turns out to use the SPP protocol on Macos you have to go through the IOBluetooth APIs - Thanks to Pyobjc I was able to call the native Objective-C api's from Python and thanks to Pybluez I was able to use an interface that was a complete replica of Python's built-in sockets

Would to head some feedback
How our team is building asynchronous communication into our workflows (2020)
The problem with this and ALL arguments comes down to definitions.

“I don’t think there is white supremacy....of course there is white supremacy etc.”

What I would have done is get them to define what each means by white supremacy in detail...then debate on the detail.

The chilling statement at the end was: “white supremacy is silence”.

This kind of thing is straight out of the history books. You must say the right things and have said them at the right time or you are against us.

This human behavior is such a copy-paste from other authoritarian regimes in the past such as Mao’s China and the USSR gestapo.

Scientists have troubles envisioning a sustainable world in the coming decades (due to the ongoing, human-driven, accelerating collapse of biodiversity) but somehow we may save the world in millions of years? See IPBES report for a summary.

Maybe we should focus on the pressing and critical issues instead of worsening them in the hope that a distant event could justify our suicidal behavior.

Chased off all their users by reigning in all their free tiers until it became commercial-only.
That might be true but I think sites like odyssey are more popular than controversial political video sites.
In Germany, I would still use Amazon over the local companies that have no idea what customer support is. Until they learn to care more about customers you really have no choice. I’ve banned German retailers in my household for that reason.
I did have a quick look before posting and I thought I saw that bar had a hdmi input (for the pi) and then an output with ARC for the TV. I thought that would work but I admit it's been a while since I tinkered with CEC. But as others have said, it is flakey. I was subscribed to the libcec issue tracker for a while and it was relentless with per-device issues. I had a mostly good experience with a Sony TV but it seems to be pot luck.

Relatedly, does a £300 soundbar in 2020 still only come with one HDMI input!?
Cool - is this made with ionic?
FYI

SM 0 a9f4 writes a9 f4 into memory at address 0
G 0 starts executing at address 0

A9F4 is the ExitToShell A-trap, which terminates the
current process.

With those commands you could terminate the foreground task on System 7 and were (usually) given a chance to save or recover something before rebooting.

It could also be used to kill At Ease on most school setups.
The only OSS VP9 encoder is Google’s own libvpx, which is what ffmpeg uses.
Them throwing out their backs is your fantasy of what would happen. Even bricklaying or putting up roof shingles isn't something so hard that it takes more than an hour of training. And with the right amount of "Thank you white kid!", those kids will feel they've greatly contributed either way.

Whatever, I'll still think it's an urban legend until someone posts some credible links that says "It's true".
A little more green on the surface because we inject a crazy volume of CO2 into the atmosphere.

amazon isn't only retail. It is a logistics company. A data center company. An insurance company....
The complement of "building its own video-transcoding chips " isn't just software encoding though. Google/Youtube could have already been using hardware encodings, just with generic GPUs or whatever existing hardware.
> Does Canada claw any of that back through expat income taxes?

The US is the only country anyone cares about that taxes their expats.
It's the seemingly infinite bandwidth that Google throws at YouTube that make competition hard. Then there's the inability to monetize. Transcoding is probably about 20th on the list of issues.
Show HN: VLSH – Shell in Vlang (toy-project)
I'd be interested in seeing if Paul's sister would do a DNA test to see if she has any nieces or nephews born after his disappearance. From the description, I can imagine a man like Paul laying low and just getting on with a new life, but it seems really unlikely he would stop having sex with random women and possibly fathering children.
So you want to build a carbon capture company
Well, a lot of people also only care about the cheapest possible price or product, same goes with the fast delivery (I see this in a lot of colleagues). We've been using Amazon less and less, and only for the low grade products that we need quickly for an emergency maybe - or for books on the kindle. But the quality, at least in Germany seems to be worse and worse. I would never trust buying anything that I want to use every day on Amazon. There are a lot of alternatives, and I know a lot of people don't like them, but I find Otto quite good and fast, and in the end would always pay a bit more to make sure the products are genuine.
> You’re not wrong, but this actually illustrates why we need to establish industry to counteract this problem.

> Google probably only provides stats about growth (like "500 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute") because the total number of videos is so large, it's an unknowable amount.

I suppose you could sample random YouTube urls to find out how many of them link to public videos. Given the total number of possible URLs, it would give you an idea of what percentage of them have been used and therefore how many videos YouTube has in total. It would not tell you how many private videos or Google Drive / Photos videos exist of course.
My guess is that the commenter is either a Floatplane insider or possibly just optimistic :-)
Why don’t they encode on the uploader machine?
Was looking for a tool like this, thanks!
The Dutch disagree.

(Not just now, but also historically.)
> Or is a county assessor pulling a magic number out of his hat that I would have to fight in court?

Or, you know, he can look at what the land around yours is going for to determine what the LVT should be.

> I would say that so long as there isn't a dollar figure attached to the very atoms or molecules that make up the ground beneath one's feet, assessment will always be a blackbox.

Considering that this is true for all atoms and molecules why is it a problem in this case and not in all the other cases where we figuratively attach dollar figures to atoms or molecules?

> In essence, this is Communism.

I would love to hear why you think that.
Global tax on inheritance and tax on capital, no VAT, income or corporate tax, and i'd be happy.

Some corporate tax, easely negated by going in debt, is necessary though.

Amazon's product offering is also seemingly getting worse, lots of five-star rated products which feature obviously paid reviews and are cheap copies. Other retailers feature good-quality brand names.

For technical hardware I can recommend geizhals.de over idealo.

Thank you for testing and a detailed feedback!

> * Search kicks in properly at 3 characters, but removing a character (so aaa <- aa) produces results
-----

I see, yeah there is some work needed there :)

> * Same UUID used for invite links and profile images (may not actually be a 'problem' at all) - as a result of this and the wording of the 'follow invite' popup, I can give the impression that someone has invited someone else to follow them I guess?
----

So to build your own network, you would share this link with others so they can easily find you and follow. But I see what you mean, probably wording needs to be adjusted.

> * Fully editable notifications with no signs of edit or history - makes context a little weird potentially
----

Its a good idea, so something like wiki/confluence edit history?
The problem I see with that; what if I made a mistake and I did not want anyone to see that. Since the topic of job search can be sensitive, I am not sure if edit history would be desirable?
At this stage it shows that sender has edited the notification.
----

And to your last point. It's very hard to keep things simple and as you said, without making it another linked in.

For now, you can block users. I went for twitter model instead of facebook/linkedin. But that combined with email/messaging kind of threaded/focussed discussion.

I think there are some really great points here.

The real news here is that They still use GPU to transcode their videos whilst other service such as search engine already use TPU for almost a decade now.

I thought they've already use custom chip for transcoding for decades.
Frankly, this is bullshit. If Amazon's business was such low margin, then how have they been able to have so much growth?

The only answer, is that it isn't actually as low margin as commonly stated and instead we have a tax system with loopholes that allow businesses to make a "profit" but by "reinvesting" in themselves they don't have to pay any taxes.

If she was doing so well with this vision (mobile/games/social something) why did she only last 21 months? Which products did she launch?
> "Amazon’s revenues have soared under the pandemic while our high streets struggle, yet it continues to shift its profits to tax havens like Luxembourg to avoid paying its fair share of tax."

But it reported a 1.7B loss in Luxembourg. So where are the profits going? Reinvested in the business?
Now that sounds like a good idea. /s
It's useful to learn how they say it, though. Not because we should pretend to be native speakers when we aren't, but because language is more efficient if you know the expected way to use it.

The correct but awkward sentences from non-natives (I also use them, being a non-native English speaker) will more easily get lost in situations with background noise, several people talking, people not paying a lot of attention, etc. because not saying things they way people expect and are used to implies extra effort to understand.
