Define a standard form factor for a box that can have attachments to it. (Say approximatly 1 x RPi or 1.5 x RPi), that has a secure modular connector that is fed HDMI IN/OUT, Power, a data bus (Ethernet?), and space so custom connectors can be on the other side. Offer panels with a 'startup' block, and maybe 1 or two others for other devices. Ensure there is enough ventilation for passive/silent cooling.

Set up partners to make custom boxes. Things like SSD's in the same form factor storing media to be shared with other media block devices, (HDMI would be unpopulated), a Roku in the secondary/primary position. DTv Tuners with a Coaxial F-Connector for the antenna, etc.

This "Standard media block" connector could even be retrofit to legacy panels by means of an external box, and one master upstream connector.

Does anything like this exist yet? If not, what would be preventing it?

Absolutely none at all! uFincs is all about manual entry (although CSV import + recurring transactions makes things a bit easier).

I'm comparing the salaries because the person is qualified to do either job. Someone turned down hundreds of thousands of dollars to maintain OSS, and then is accused of embezzlement by someone who left for FANG salaries and VC-backing.
Any value they provide is incidental, an annoying necessity they have to put up with. If owners and investors cared about that value, they'd hire more personnel. Instead, they pocket salaries of that unhired personnel and take a free ride on a couple dudes who work 100hr overtime. I'm sure after they signed the contract, they had a nice party where the owner cracked a joke about two losers who did all the work for free.

nim is the closest I've found. Really hoping it gains more traction.
Ah, I really like how clean the UI feels and also the e2ee. I'd love if this also could have a mobile app, as I then could document transactions on the go more easily.

Any plans for a mobile app?
Roku has ads built into the UI? I'm also not sure how it meets the qualifications of everything else I listed?
>What about not coming into an office means that I should be paid less?

Sometimes there are quality of life decisions that come to play. Not sure cut in pay from current job is what's at hand. If I am currently employeed at a job that requires >=1 hour commute each way, has added stress from management inadequacies, etc, but then a job opportunity presents itself that is closer to home (or even WFH) for less pay, a conversation about what that cut in pay would entail long term is definitely worth having in my head. Those 2 hours back from the stress of commuting is huge. New job might mean worse management, or it could be better. Grass isn't always greener.

~840 HP (1.4*600) to bring it up to plane with an electric motor but just ~300 HP to do it with a diesel engine? It's obviously more expensive but not that much more expensive.
If you're a ceo and have 10k employees, and you get them to accept 1k a year less each in wages, you made the shareholders 10m. So it makes sense you get 1m extra. (1k a year for a full time employee is 50c/h roughly, less if you factor in pay linked benefits and other costs).

Hilton has 173k employees. So a ceo who can get minimal amounts more out of them or cut the cost of them even slightly is worth a fortune.

I think this is the real driving force behind the ceo pay numbers we've seen: more big companies where a single ceo or a small top-team have huge leverage.

I'm not making a moral arguement. Just a practical/Economic one. I think "leverage" is a better concept here than "responsibility" (which carries moral implications...)

If you and I were walking down the street and saw a dead cat on the side of the road, I would tell you that cat was possibly hit by a car, and I'd be justified in saying that. I have only two pieces of circumstantial evidence: the location of the dead cat in the place where cars drive by, and the fact that cats are sometimes known to have been run over by cars.

The WIV is in the exact place where the outbreak began, and houses the same strain of viruses, and researches them by breeding new variants. And, viruses have escaped from laboratories before. It occurs fairly regularly.

This is far from a "conspiracy theory", not to mention that it doesn't even involve a conspiracy.
> Photoshop is a great deal at a fixed cost of $1000 or whatever it was, because when I needed it it was there for me and I knew it would solve my problem. Photoshop cloud is a fucking rip off, I'm not going to pay their ridiculous monthly fees, nor deal with their onerous subscription terms, for an app I use maybe once every six months.

How is paying $1000 better than paying $32 every six months and getting access for the entire month? $1000 better if you'll use it for 30 months without interruptions but it sounds like that's not your use-case.
I switched to Blink when Prompt 2 came along. I mean, if I'm going to have to switch apps anyway...

I never looked back. Blink's GUI isn't as pretty as Prompt's, but its functionality is outstanding. There's nothing more I would add to it.
I think I would be interested in a dumb device to plug some Apple TV in.

Would it not be hard to secure licenses for HD-playback for a small player with privacy focus for a smart tv?

One concern on “dumb” though. It’s one thing to skip apps and streaming, but I suppose some smarts are required to support things like upscaling or advanced frame interpolation ( https://blurbusters.com/frame-rate-amplification-technologie... )

One of the most important parts of the Voyager is apparently a little motor that rotates every 192 seconds to take 360 degree readings of the sky. Each rotation is called a "step" in their lingo .. they built it to run a few thousand steps (or about 4-5 years). And that little motor has now run over 5 _million_ steps over 48 years... and is still running.

Yeah, similar here. Twenty years ago, when I was freshly out of university, I had my office with a door I could close, and a window I could open. I was given a task (one task, not multiple tasks to do in parallel) and was left alone to do it. I asked what needs to be done, then I did it. I was treated like a competent adult.

These days (before COVID-19, because that made things a bit unusual) the industry standard is open spaces without fresh air. Daily meetings in the morning, and then optionally more meetings during the day. Doing a few things in parallel, almost every week is a deadline for something, no time to refactor or learn new things. Free coffee.
I wasn't allowed a TV as a child. I credit this for learning to read very early (by myself for the most part).

I always felt Sesame Street was some kind of leftist softie propaganda, but that may be a side effect of growing up in a culture that didn't allow TV to children.

I really think learning about reality; i.e the natural world, physical work, making "stuff", math, the nature of life and death are better for kid's mental well being then any flavor of abstract propaganda.
> Having enum variants be structs has been proposed

That's great news.

> that could solve your issue if `mem::disciminant<Enum::Variant>` returned what you wanted.

I think you misunderstood, or I explained it poorly.

Given an:

enum Enum {
A(int),
B,
}

I would like mem::Discriminant<Enum> be the same type as if there was such a definition in code (illegal in Rust, because Rust doesn't have specializations):

enum mem::Discriminant<Enum> {
A,
B,
}

I was solely commenting on the SV compensation point, but yes, you’re totally right that he could be doing less work for significantly more money elsewhere. The accusations are unjust for sure. IMO less because of the salary numbers and more because commit count is simply not a good measure of employee performance.
Thanks for the feedback on the UI! Definitely put some time into trying to get that right.

And yep, we have plans for dedicated mobile/desktop apps for sometime this year. Android will almost certainly come before iOS though.
I never saw a corroborating, or adding more detail source for Yegge's post, and I wonder if this wasn't Bezos himself talking. I think someone put him up to it.
Same here. For 10k / month I would expect proper support and answers, instead we get access to an amazing "confidential newsletter" about 124344 projects we don't care about, problems we report are put on the 10-year plan and answers are usually links to documentation about the product per se.

I have no idea why we're paying.
Great ideas, thank you for sharing! I'm also really excited about the potential of current student users to become tutors in the future. Community service is a great way for high school students to build their college applications too, so I think there are actually probably students who would want to use UPchieve both as a student and a volunteer at the same time. Right now our platform would require them to have two accounts, but it's something that we might try to facilitate in the future.
I get quite a bit fresh content in the sense that it’s fresh for me(but popular otherwise) or fresh content that has a very few views and likes.

In contrast, twitter is horrible because I’m in a bubble and everyone I’m exposed to is there to push their agenda.

Instagram is fine but it’s essentially place where people I know and I don’t know pretend to be living the good life. It’s boring. The content discovery never worked for me.

Youtube is actually great in terms of content but the discovery revolves around the “more from the same” which makes discovery of something fresh pretty hard.

TikTok is not perfect but it’s the only platform that actually seems to create a stream of stuff that I like and are not the same.

So , congrats.
Ask HN: Can I classify this as End to End encryption?
Hello all, I am working on a personal project where I plan to store user information on a server in an encrypted form. This is roughly the architecture of my app.

Writing data:
User Data -> [Encryption in browser via "Secret Key"] -> Encrypted data -> Server

Reading data:
Server -> Encrypted Data -> [Decryption in browser via "Secret Key"] -> User Data

I have two ways of performing the encryption:

Method 1:
- Encrypt using the "Secret Key" provided by the user and send it to the server for storage.

Note: This method would make changing the "Secret Key" cumbersome. All data should be imported to the client, decrypted with existing "Secret Key" and encrypted with the "New Secret Key".

Method 2:

- Generate a "Random Key" on the client side which will be used for encrypting the data.

- Store this "Random Key" encrypted using the "Secret Key" provided by the user on the server - "Encrypted Random Key".
- For decryption, decrypt using the "Secret Key" to obtain the "Random Key", use this for decrypting further encrypted messages.

Note: Changing password is much easier with this, I will have to decrypt "Encrypted Random Key" to get "Random Key" and I can now encrypt it again with the "New Secret Key".

I have two questions here:

1. While method 1 can be clearly classified as End to End encryption. I wanted to know if I can classify method 2 as End to End encryption as well?

2. Would you as a user be comfortable using an app which uses method 2 for storing your personal information.

Thanks in advance.
It makes much more sence to industrialise the Moon than to colonise mars. Moon materials can be used to produce ships and space structures, satellites, propellant, etc. You can have a space elevator on the moon today with a titanium cable. It will actually be profitable.

Most importantly, colonising the moon is tractable in terms of emergencies: if someone on the moon suffers an accident and needs a surgery, they could be in a hospital on Earth in a day or two. If their shelter is damaged, or supplies are needed, we can send help to the Moon and have it arrrive before everyone is dead.

You are on mars and suddenly are suffering from liver disease? You are probably dead. It's going to be like the life of iur first Abtarctic explorers, when they get in trouble, there is no help. Many don't return, and noone stays there to live. To this day noone 'colonised' Antarctica.

Mars settlement is only viable when we have a spaceship factory on the moon, nuclear engines, and we could send the equivant of a large marine research vessel to mars, so 10,000 tons usefull payload, every month.
The New York Times criticizes dark patterns, but fails to criticize themselves
The New York Times published an article that criticizes dark patterns.

They call out several companies that uses dark patterns, but fail to mention how hard it is to unsubscribe to the New York Times (only by talking to a person).

That's unfair. It's ok for the NYT to write an article about it. I'm sure the reporter is not responsible for NYT's unsubscribe flow. But if you call-out other companies, have the decency to mention your own company.

I'm a great believer in the power of cash to solve problems. Rutger Bregman's Utopia For Realists opened my eyes on this matter. The minority of "rotten apples" only spoil the concept if we let them - we can view their potential misuse as part of the operating cost of helping a large majority of people into happier and more productive states of life.

I worry that some employers fear that UBI and similar will decrease workers dependency on their employment, and thus become more demanding and more expensive. My own intuition is that keeping a strong imbalance in power between employer and worker is at best a local maxima for the employer, and much greater profits can be achieved with a more balanced relationship with the workforce.
Agreed.

When I searched for an answer to "What do I get with a subscription?"

It was "oh source code files."
At least when I was at Uber (left in mid-2019), this was absolutely the case: most services weren't CPU-bound, but a few were. Rewriting the CPU-bound services in C++, Rust, or some other language might have helped, but would have required a _ton_ of well-understood, reliable libraries for networking, observability, authn/authz, database access, etc.

In nearly all cases, there was plenty of room to make the Go service faster. A more careful choice of data structure and algorithm, finer-grained locking, fan-out across a goroutine pool, or just avoiding a zillion heap allocations solved most problems. I don't recall any cases where Go was simply incapable of meeting our performance needs.

As a side benefit, services with more stringent performance requirements often exposed inefficiencies in widely-used libraries. Optimizing those libraries made every Go service faster and cut our overall compute spend. Avoiding rewrites in C++ or Rust let those wins add up over time.
It's got 8GB of RAM and 3GHz processor. It runs Photoshop, for God's sake. An iPad is a small computer with touch.
Agreed. And I'm not sure if this is more or less precise than "model", but I often think about Rust as a process and community for developing a programming language, rather than as a programming language itself. This seems related to your 'model' remark.
This is why I haven’t release my own dev tool on iPad actually, but OS X does let you run a process and sub processes

"Millions for defense, but not a damned penny for tribute."

- Charles Cotesworth Pinckney when asked for tribute by the Barbary Pirates

Maybe we need to start treating ransonware attacks more like this. Spend money on hardening targets. Also pursue an policy of economic sanctions against countries that tolerate these types of activities in their borders. Maybe we need to make it possible to quarantine countries from the rest of the Internet who abuse the commons.
Millionaires say, "Give your children enough money to do something, but not enough money to do nothing."

It applies across the board. Studies of poverty traps provide evidence of learned helplessness. If you're rich, most things that go wrong can be solved with money. If you're poor, money isn't a solution to any problem.

Even $500 a month solves a lot of problems that will enable the individual to get out of a hole they'd otherwise die in.

There are producers and there are consumers. For millennia, the benefit of the work done by productive people has flowed, disproportionately to unproductive people.

Society is revolting at the unfairness. Rich folks get more than $500/mo on their mortgage interest deduction. Poor people have nothing. Get nothing. Work hard barely to survive.

The lack of equity is destroying society. Our human contract with each other is being honored by one set of people and not by another. Selective application of rules is resentful.

There are producers and there are consumers. The producers aren't going to stop producing because the government gives them food, water, and shelter. These are basic human needs. Basic needs for any living organism. We treat other humans worse than animals, yet they are.

We have to change our collective consciousness and be honest with ourselves or we won't progress civilly.
I think the law could use an update for chickens and turkeys for these cases, of that's the case.

And that the video doesn't match my experience with when i tagged along with my dad when i was young, who was a veterinarian.

As I said, they are going to show the worst examples. I haven't seen any of those anywhere here and I've seen a bunch of them and none were like that.

Like i said: And you think that's the default? You know how many people/farmers actually care about animals?
f-strings in Python resolve to strings, but f-strings in Rust will resolve to std::fmt::Arguments IIUC. Not quite the same thing.
This model circulates a lot but I haven't understood why; it literally treats them as the same thing. The model is

outcome = idea x execution

So both are "multipliers" in the language of the model. The formula is completely symmetric in the two quantities.
Fair, but there is no certification process either and this is making these machines into paperweights far before their time.

Worse, nothing stops them from using an adapter for other charge networks creating the same safety concern.

I think that's a good thing. People do complain about the overly high rate of evolution of Rust, but I think that was much more true in previous years than today (not least because a lot of projects needed to depend on nightly).

Also, most of these changes enable new things, and are only in the edition because of some low chance of breaking existing code. The 2018 edition had some major changes, so 2018 code looks pretty different - the ? operator, big changes to module use, impl/dyn Trait, and more. I suspect that most code bases you won't be able to tell whether it's 2018 or 2021 without looking more closely.
I've been generating tons of ideas my entire life. This is why I KNOW how cheap the ideas is and, also, how hard it is to implement something and make is usable/working/needed/cheap... And this is why I work as software developer (execution person), not manager\idea-generator. I must keep myself in ABILITY to implement things - this is what i don't have for free, unlike the ability of generating ideas: every day I have 5 new genious ideas of some city garbage collection automation with bidrs or a new neural-network GPS-replacement-by-photo thing. When I hear somene's good idea i STEAL it with no regret/sorry and with clear conscience. When person tell me its really GOOD idea, i just trying to implement it before he found a way to do this (this never happend with idea-people) and I dont give a shit who generated this idea, dont giving any credits to original person intentionally to punish idea-people for not goind anything. Also, knowing my ability to generate tons of ideas I feel no shame to steal another's ideas, because it cost nothing for me: I could generate this idea myself another day easily with the same genius quality. So, idea people, give me you ideas and go to hell. Tomorrow I talk to another idea-person and forget you. Ideas is like air: today i inhale the air who was exhaled by someone else and this is not called stealing. So, you must implement idea to proof its existance. Tell me that I stole your idea looking at my project - i dont care. Your blabla does not change whom MY working project belongs to, sorry, haha.
It's not score keeping. It's recognition that we don't live in a post-scarcity society, and our needs don't satisfy themselves. Labor and money are still required to keep quality of life in a household at a stable level.

I don't think turning 18 is the common boundary line here. Entering the workforce is. If you're making money while still consuming your parents' household resources, it's only reasonable to contribute something back. FWIW, I'd hope most people who generate income while living with their parents would recognize this as obvious, and volunteer to pay rent.
