But if you don't close those businesses, you get people who are one financial emergency away from bankruptcy. You get people who have no chance of bettering their lives. I do not have a solution, but that does not mean that I cannot call out what I see as the problem.
None of it happens at 60 FPS. Dragging windows, animations, etc are all janky on that GPU.

Sure, but the last flagship Exynos (2100) used the Samsung 5nm process.

We use Jira for developer work tracking. And use bots and humans to avoid developers ever having to visit ServiceNow during incidents and post mortems.
Long COVID is post viral fatigue syndrome. Really sucks when you have it, nothing singularly new about it as far as any available evidence shows. A bunch of people are experiencing it all at the same time, hence the prominence in the media. "Long flu" is much more diffuse in time, so not media-worthy. Mine was 3 months of hell at 18 years old.
An additional data point: retail.

Retail workers are treated incredibly poorly, and the American customer frequently uses the interaction to establish the social class hierarchy for themselves.

This group was also ongoingly and repeatedly thrown to the wolves in COVID responses, being most exposed to the possibility of dying from the virus.

It is no surprise that the places which can't find workers are restaurants and retail outlets.
What a load of tired cliches...

As but one point: only one referendum rejected the Treaty of Maastricht, the Danish one, with a margin of 49:51. In response, some changes were adopted an the Danish people overwhelmingly voted for it in a second referendum, 68:42.
In my experience, Safari (and old Edge) were more willing to let pages crash or limit CPU cycles for the sake of system performance, while Chrome is content to let pages allocate as much RAM and use up as many CPU cycles as they want, letting poorly behaved websites work while sacrificing the rest of the system and battery life.
Short answer: I loved visits to the library and the local science museum.

Long answer: Provide lots of opportunities for unstructured play and exploration. I've intentionally filled my adult house with "tools" of all varieties for my young daughter so that no matter what she's into, she has an outlet. Practically speaking, this means that she will always have access to: paper, pencils, crayons, rulers, tape (so much tape!), cardboard boxes, old digital cameras, batteries / flashlights, garden implements, woodworking tools, a soldering iron, several musical instruments, sports balls, a well-stocked kitchen, LEGO, etc etc etc. These were the things I appreciated from my own childhood.

Re: #2 - The biggest world-impacting thing 20 years from now can be guessed at but is unknowable. The best chance to ride this new unknown trend is to develop curiosity and adaptability.

One item to watch out for: though you shouldn't push your daughter to excel everywhere, you should definitely push her in at least one area that's hard and intimidating for her. If you don't, she'll get bored in school. Worse, when she encounters something difficult she'll think there's something wrong with her and give up rather than work through it like everyone else. The sooner she learns this lesson the better. "Working on things that don't come easily" didn't really sink in for me until later in life so I have a bunch of regrets around missed opportunities.
Ask HN: What to spend my learning allowance on as a Back end Engineer?
Hi, I've received around ~$3k from my employer to spend on personal development and learning. I was wondering what books/courses/certifications would be good to push my self and learn something new.

I am currently a junior backend engineer and this is my first year working in the industry so I would appreciate any pointers/tips.
Ask HN: Is algorithmic censorship contributing to the spread of Covid?
How does soft and hard algorithmic user experience degrading utilized by social media platforms against their political opponents not contribute to the spread of COVID?

If people are lump sum degraded due to algos and policy, their ability to generate metadata for real-time COVID spread research is severely impacted.

There is no statistical correction for this loss as far as I know.
> The whole argument of using debt to build a business smells funny.

I think this conflates generally running at a loss with debt, but there is also positive investment.

E.g. Many property developers run on ever increasing debt as they grow, and many of these business do really well. They are using debt to create something of value, sell it and then replay debt.

But if a company is using debt (or equity) to keep growing with overly hopeful future profitability plans, then yeah this is not good.

Both use debt, one is totally normal and common. The other 'smells funny', so I feel it more about the value creation the debt is used for to build the business than the actual debt.
Are there any good write ups out there where ServiceNow is really nailing it for a company? Genuinely curious.

They support it on paper but in practice I have yet to see any libertarian working under the banner of that platform.

Because lying tends to reduce trust.
And that I guess is the OPs point.

It should be a choice a business can make based on their circumstances. Instead, the EU legislates conversion loss for everyone.

If you think about it, when was the last time you entered even a CVV2/CVC on Amazon? Compare that to most regular sites which require you to enter CVV. Some allow you to enter the card holder name and address, while others don't and just sent the shipping address you've entered.

And it's not like this is a surefire way to make things better anyway. Like was mentioned before, it makes people that know about these things queasy when a random site redirects you to your bank and wants you to log in. What better way to scrape bank login info than a fake login screen for your bank? It's like when banks introduced TAN numbers. Then indexed TAN, SMS TAN etc. What regular user that fell for the "Please enter 3 TAN numbers to verify your account" will figure out whether a shady site is scraping their logins?
Would be good form after a reactionary piece prior to the results of the NTSB investigation to see the publications that published such pieces take some responsibility for what they publish.

Better form would have been not publishing reactionary articles in the first place.
I think if there were a clear path to increased salary that came with the job, people wouldn't milk benefits but would start down the path that leads to growth. So I think OP is dressing it up to show that in the absence of a path towards growth, people just milk benefits.
The call to action at the end may be the most important part of the article, so if you get tempted to bail early, try not to.
FBI Identifies Group Behind Pipeline Hack
I've been looking into it and I think it would be possible to do if the documentation were better. They have `Budget Actions`, but it's fairly new so the documentation and examples are lacking. Based on what I've learned for myself, I would say the starter rules are:

- Create a root account that's only used for consolidated billing and account recovery. Secure it with 2FA. I use TOTP saved on my Yubikey and my backup Yubikey with the setting that requires a physical touch to generate a code.
- Create organizational accounts for every day use. The exact way to structure them can get complicated, but there's a fair bit of documentation on it.
- Set up budget alerts and budget actions before you start using a resource type.
- Only create users with permissions to access resource types with budget actions set up.

It's easy to say, but very hard to do in practice based on my experience. The biggest problem is that if you want to use a couple of services (ex: EC2, S3), you have the complexity of 1000 services, IAM policies, etc. jammed in your face right at the start and it's almost impossible to figure out what permissions you need to do something.

It reminds me of SELinux where the permissions are difficult enough to deal with that you can write an audit log while performing an action and simply enable all the permissions that were logged.

The second biggest problem is that runaway billing is far worse for small users than for large users and big tech only cares about other big users because that's where the money is. Everything revolves around catering to huge users who don't care if they need to hire a consultant to tame their AWS billing, so the smaller users and startups are left with systems that are far too complex to meet their needs.

I prefer the way Digital Ocean works, but there are some things you just can't do with them. For example, Lambdas and SES don't have good alternatives at DO.

I also like Cloudflare Workers since I find it significantly easier to reason about price in the context of cost per execution instead of the complex formula used for Lambdas, etc.. I think Cloudflare is in a very good position to claw market share from the big clouds, but their Workers Unbound is pretty much a copy of Lambdas, Functions, etc. in terms of pricing structure, so it looks like they might be starting to go after those fat egress charges that everyone else makes their money from.
The study lists eleven specific claims that were tracked, all objectively false, six of which were primarily shared by conservative users and four primarily shared by liberal users.
It feels a bit odd for them to say, autopilot could not have been used in that area. "In a reconstruction using a similar Tesla, the agency found that Autosteer was not usable on that part of the road, meaning the Autopilot system couldn't have worked." Whose to say that Tesla didn't update something between the crash and when the NTSB tested autopilot in that area? I don't think they did do that, but are there any safeguards in place to detect that happening?

Its one thing to say that a car cannot do something because of a physical issue on the car, vs some software that can be updated or have bugs that haven't been caught yet.
There's a bunch of comments here about performance, but IMHO even 10 years ago hardware was already fast enough (and any gains in speed are just being taken by increasingly bloated software); what I'm more worried about is openness --- will Samsung release detailed documentation for its SoCs, on par with what TI and other ARM SoC companies have done, or even better?

I really hope Apple's M1 does not start a trend towards even more computers with basically zero public documentation.
As someone who has seen this firsthand while living in Japan, I agree with your statement.

What is more, one of the things that I love about the US is that we seem to be fairly good at deconstructing and reconstructing relatively quickly and efficiently. Our system isn’t perfect (tends to favor the capital class and stick it to labor more than I would prefer), but I personally think it’s much better than what Japan has done.
I love that Wildbow writes the female point of view that you assumed he was a she (assuming that wasn't a typo). He's still going strong--current work is Pale (https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/about/) which I can highly recommend.
Performance isnt that important for most people. A 6 year old laptop is plenty fast enough, just weight and battery life suck.
> If the ARM ISA was inherently so much better it would be easy for Qualcomm and Samsung to release top performance ARM laptops, but they can't.

They simply don't really want.

Gets just any top ARM SoC from both, and scale caches, and bus widths to M1's size. The advantage will immediately stop looking so dramatic.

A lot of jobs are basically untenable if you account for extra expenses, including a lot of the "gig economy" scams.

I don't really believe you're actually paying a 50% tax rate. Unless you mean a _marginal_ tax rate.
No it doesn't. It just changes form. See money laundering and the mob.

Can't collect in cash? That's a-ok. Do me a favor and you get your kid back.

You are not talking a lick of sense. Crime finds a way. It always will. You can't tax law abiding people to invalidate criminal economic models. All you do us disadvantage the victims, undermine the legitimacy of your legal edifice by implicitly raising it above those it serves in importance, and completely do away with any semblance of sanity, and maximize tge cost in human lives exacted from the pool of the falsely accused and victimized. Game theory doesn't apply. Rational Actor Theory doesn't apply. Addressing crime via draconian laws doesn't work if you're at all interested in any State even nominally centered around the concepts of Freedom and Liberty.

And a Ransom tax? Do you want tax collectors tarred and feathered? Or are you just trying to ensure that any remaining credibility in the government is irrevocably lost? Taxes lend legitimacy to things. You're basically admitting that a ransom is even a valid transaction by enshrining it in your tax code.

Absolute madness.
Possibly, though if the original articles were reporting that 'no one was in the drivers seat', then there must have been a fairly substantial impact to throw the driver into the rear of the car.

That indeed does seem to be something of a challenge. I don't really find the Goodreads/other ratings that likely to predict whether I'll enjoy something, but there are countless famous works of fiction I mean to read which I know are, even if not necessarily to my taste, proven worthwhile to many people for a long time. Then there's a giant grab-bag of stuff of unknown quality with little way for me to sort through it. Unless I read a review of it that stirs me I'm unlikely to pick it up.

Personally I searched the web for how to run a normal Linux build on the Samsung Exynos 2100 SoC. Could not find much information at all. Very sad state of affairs compared to an rk3399 or iMX8. Especially considering how much more performance the Exynos SoC appears to deliver. I am looking forward to the new Rockchip offerings (rk35xx), and the continued progress on mainline support for the VPUs. Not holding my breath for the Samsung or Qualcomm SoCs.

That will almost certainly mean critical services won’t be funded. We can see this with “school choice” initiatives. When they pass those that pay for private school remove their funds from the public school coffers.

Firefighting is the same. If I’ve put in place fire prevention equipment & paid for insurance why should I fund public firefighting?

The easy fix to this is to not exempt “IT Professionals” from overtime in a bullshit rider on a completely unrelated law. Pay overtime, make it expensive to drive employees over 40 hours, and the problem disappears overnight.

It is interesting to note that even with these there are fashions. Abe Kobo was once casually referred to as Japan's most famous writer and now the name will get you a lot of blank stares, while Murakami was unavoidable for a while but is probably on his way out (I get the sense someone ten years younger than me is far less likely to be a fan).

Strong disagree. Intelligence is not a more valuable attribute than any other.

Concrete example: there's no point being a more intelligent officer in the Army if you aren't able to physically get yourself to the fight in time and someone else who's less intelligent but is more fit is there on time to have an impact.
Well, without much hard data, this doesn't seem that surprising?

The deaths were skewed older and the unhealthy, and diabetes is 10% of the population, and the older and unhealthy probably tend to have a higher occurrence of diabetes.

So.. what does this article want us to conclude? Diabetes directly increases covid death rates?
This was the most surprising thing to me when I started working with Europe. I had a meeting with a company in Germany at the end of July a few years ago and all involved said they would be unavailable until September.

McDonald’s hasn’t been cheap in a while. Even doing their cheapest hamburger at .99 cents for 250 calories that’s still about 8 dollars for a full days calories with little nutrition.

That does not follow. There are many cases where the total demand exceeds the total supply; in such cases, no amount of "paying more" will alleviate the shortage, you are just moving it around. Furthermore, the upper bound on pay is the amount of value that can be generated with those skills -- a market requires buyers which requires a positive exchange for both parties. Consequently, the market clearing wage in a skill shortage is a function of the amount of value a company can create with a given set of skills.

The challenge for highly skilled labor is that the latency between a market demand signal and new supply is typically many years. Demand won't manufacture that supply on any time horizon that matters.
Should the employers who can't afford to raise wages to such an artificially high level just all go out of business?
Let's dust out those whips as well while we're at it, shall we? /s

There's nothing wrong with people leveraging their (temporary) increase in bargaining position to drive the wages up. I'm not at all surprised that people don't want to get back to thankless, low-paid jobs when not faced with the prospect of starvation.

The ZFS file system supports running Lua programs in Kernel mode. It supports setting a limit on the number of instructions run and the amount of memory used:

https://www.delphix.com/blog/delphix-engineering/zfs-channel...

So it’s been done before. I think traditional BPF programs were really short and ran in performance critical contexts. Disallowing backwards branches and limiting size was preferred to slowing down these code paths with instruction counting.
