Are you able to share the AirGradient business model, which allows the company to support publication of open-source docs, software and hardware for DIY air sensors?

The guide is much appreciated!
So your messenger app read your mind?

Pretty sure you create a whitelist on that too, yes?

Of phone numbers, usernames, or …email addresses… depending on what the app uses, that you wish to hear from?

Check out Spike for IOS. I’m not saying you have to USE it, but that it’s a UX problem, not an “email” problem.
Anyone aware of a polished application that utilizes this for personal home monitoring? It'd be fantastic to integrate this with Home Assistant[1] in lieu of Zigbee motion sensors.

That's a lot of words to say work sucks.
Also there is not really any logical reason to disable it. Apple claims it has essentially no noticeable effect on battery or data usage. Your iphone scans for tags once every 2 minutes while it is also checking for notifications so there isn't even an extra cpu wakeup.

Doesn't California also require custom blends for its gasoline, which also tends to make it more expensive? My understanding is that only refineries in California make them, which prevents out-of-state gasoline from being imported to help supply quickly match increases in demand.

We also had issues with the PMSA003. Better use the PMS5003 that is code compatible and has a better reliability.
Decide who you're negotiating with. Is it your manager or is it the company or organization? There could be differences in opinion depending on who you ask. Do not bother talking to HR.

Ask for feedback on your performance while working remotely. Also you can provide evidence that you are working & performing well.

Clearly you want to still work for this company, point that out.

Ask yourself what your career path is at this company, is there a difference between your expectations at this place and theirs? Will this be affected by your presence in the office?

Do not put salary and benefits discussions on the table yourself, leave that up to the company.
Does not successfully linking count? Because adding an orphan instance can definitely make unrelated code that used to link start failing to.
Bee Movie.
Using https would help. If you totally disable http (or only use http on .onion sites) the described attack won't work. Similarly, if the site in question enabled HSTS the attack would be prevented.

Think of tor like the open wifi network of dubious origin at a black hat hacker convention. You are probably fine if using https, but plain http is a bad idea.

Using a vpn is more questionable. Generally a paid vpn already knows who you are so hiding you origin ip with tor would be pointless. Also sometimes combining vpn technologies can cause traffic congestion algorithms to interact poorly and make things really slow, but that will depend on which technologies are in use.
I thought "bloody flux" was dysentery, not just bloody stools.
Threw in the towel on a decade long career and went back to school. Career was affecting my health as well, physically and mentally, I'm 37 now. Your comment mirrors my own experiences. Just know that you're not alone.
The scope is much more limited in his case. When the problem space is super narrow and the base language is your whole environment, writing correct code in a big batch is not that hard. On the other hand, dealing with flask and basically the whole stack of everything web at the same time is a different kind of challenge.

> theoretically they could have planned to turn it into a subscription service (pretty unlikely, but who knows…)

WhatsApp originally was a subscription service; when I first signed up, it cost $1 per year.

They dropped the fee in 2016[1], and now Facebook is trying[2] to go back to the subscription model for business.

Precisely. There is manipulation across the board. Some of the packaging is getting really ridiculous. The argument that higher inflation would indicate that the economy has been contracting could be phrased differently: What if the "great slowdown" as per Peter Thiel is one in value, lack in progress, cheaper quality products, shaving off everywhere to retain a facade, pushing out real world goals and targets to future decades etc. This does not mean there won't be any progress or some obvious deflation (electronics, biotech). It's still an important discussion to be had (the effect of found monetary standards on the economy/technological progress. http://wtf1971.com/ and The Bitcoin Standard obviously have a different perspective on these reported inflation numbers.
Exactly the opposite. Learn the simple tool (the bike / the single click Arduino IDE) before expecting kids to know how an engine works. This is the most basic obvious principle in pedagogy.
For AVR programming, I have used MPLabX and found it fairly easy to use and program with.

I do use their official programmer, even though it is expensive (it can program AVR & PIC families) to avoid compatibility or driver issues.

I have used PlatformIO in the past too, but nothing beats a custom made IDE designed for programming a core set of chips.
Those cost more and have a short battery life. For a government agency this might not be an issue (hook it up to the car battery).

But for a casual malicious user, airtags open up whole new worlds of abuse.
The company provided life insurance policies are usually group policies that will cover people regardless of condition--which is why they are so low in value.
It only makes sense to do so if you are wanting to stay working from home for now for actual health reasons, not just due to a long term preference.
Yeah.

Ironically, what you’ve described has also happen to books to some degree. The self-published ‘Createspace’ or ‘KindleDirect’ books are usually cringeworthy.

It’s the old curator problem... if it becomes trivial to create something in a medium, it’s more important then ever to have a gatekeeper or curator to help identify the good stuff.
Hey dbenny, Just browsed the careers page and I saw few positions where I could be a good fit. Are there TZ restrictions for the remote positions?

Thanks.
Well it used to cost like $1 per year and that covered operating expenses many times over, yet..

A highly nationalized internet is the inevitable consequence of national and supranational government orgs making demands that extend to companies or users beyond their jurisdiction. HN, disappointingly, seems to support a lot of these measures when it’s a “good guy” (like Germany or the EU) doing it to a “bad guy” (like Facebook), but seems to miss the broader implication.

If the internet is going to remain an open and fully connected global network, it’s absolutely necessary that internet entities don’t need to worry about the laws of some country halfway around the world.

The alternative is, at best, every website being IP-locked to a small set of countries. Either self-censored to countries that sites feel legally safe exposing themselves to, or censored by governments at transnational network boundaries.
Ransomware gang threatens release of Washington D.C. police records
Lol, I thought they were sticking to "show legitimate non-illegal uses" until the last picture says "Easily mounts under car with included magnet" (not technically illegal if it's your own car but the use case for that is not universal).
> a) it introduces private healthcare decisions, a legally fraught topic they do not want to deal with. Is it legal to fire someone for refusing to return to the office despite health concerns? Probably, but no one knows for sure and your employer does not want to be the test case. (If they ask, "what health concerns?" remind them that's private. Don't invent a fictitious medically-fragile aunt.)

I used to be a lawyer (though was never a labor/employment lawyer) and am having a hard time coming up with reasons it would be illegal to fire someone who refuses to come into the office for unspecified medical reasons.

It seems like you've thought about this quite a bit — what would the reasoning be? Employees have lots of protections, some of them related to medical conditions. For example, employees can get access to FML under the appropriate circumstances. But my understanding (having claimed such benefits for my family when babies were born) is that some sort of proof is required to establish eligibility.

Are there other benefits or protections that would not require this? Or is there a 'protected class' designation that could be claimed? For the record, I have no dog in this fight — I work for myself and don't have employees, so this doesn't affect me personally. I'm just curious what the arguments are for employees who want to remain remote.
The problem is just a presentation one.

Email is thought of as grandpas business tool.

Look at Spike for IOS.

Messengers are just whitelisted users. Email providers or clients simply provide a shit interface for managing that list.

To me it’s like that story about NASA spending millions on a zero gravity pen when Russian astronauts just used pencil.

Someone was looking to impress people with their spam filtering code and never thought “maybe I can just drop all by default and only allow who I want?”
Never heard of this. Thank you.
Maybe they should work on figuring out how to build an electric car first.
Honestly, invisible edits are a UI problem that people really ought to solve - highlight (or in some way indicate with a color change or such) that something has been edited (and specifically, what has changed vs what is unedited in the comment).

Or perhaps restrict editing, e.g. instead of being able to delete text, you can only strike through+slightly shrink+grey out text.
Find the firmware file for the bluetooth radio and delete it. Android will make this hard since it's an "immutable OS" and the authors don't want it's "dumb users" breaking things.
By the looks of it, we are going back to feudalism soon.
Hopefully your extention will eventually support Canada as this would be useful up here also.

I wanted to shop local and support my community so I went to my local convenience store <4 KM round trip rather than making the 45 KM round trip to Walmart for my groceries.

What I found was dissapointing, they were just reselling stuff that they bought from Walmart at a 125% to 300% inflated price. EG: Walmart sells 3×white bread loafs for $7 CAD my local store charges $4.65 CAD per loaf and I suspect they were previously frozen.

I understand that without local support these buisnesses will not survive but if all they are doing is buying from a national chain what value are they really providing? They both pay minium wage and there are no local taxes in my town, only regional, provincial and federal.

This may seem like Im being obtuse but I felt like my good intentions were being taken advantage of at my local store.

PS: Was the name "NearBuy" already taken? I sometimes have problems reading words with two meanings and I'm sure I'm not alone. "Close" is one of those words that makes me think of a liquidation store.
Hunh? So you are saying that if I buy the DVD player at https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-dvd-player-with-hd-upconve... that I'm agreeing to an "EULA" that doesn't seem to exist on the site and that is apparently not mentioned at all before purchase?

Please tell me you're joking.
A normal search experience (displaying a 20 hits search page) requires
num segments * (1 + num terms * 2) + 20 GET requests.

We have 180 segments for our commoncrawl index.
So we can consider a generous upper bound of 1000 requests.

The GET request costs adds $0.0004 per commoncrawl search request.
Storage costs us $5 per day, so the cost of GET request starts topping storage cost at >10k request per day.

Our search engine is meant for searching large datasets, with a low number of queries: Logs, SIEM, e-discovery, exotic big data datasets, etc.
These use case have typically a low daily query rate.

For high request rate, (1 query per second) like e-commerce, entirely decoupling storage and compute is actually a bad idea.
For low request rate (< 1000 per day), using S3 without caring about the GET request cost is perfectly fine.
And in the middle, you might probably want to use another object model with a more favorable pricing model.
Some advertising, sure. I’ve advertised on Facebook and without being able to select people in my area that are engaged to be married it’d be utterly useless to me.
Began this negotiation with my employer a couple months ago for reasons unrelated to COVID (partner is taking on a job that requires relocation). Got pretty far, but was ultimately denied. Some things I learned in the process:

- Make it clear that work remote is a requirement for you

- Consider things that may make your manger's life easier, as they may need to argue up the chain on your behalf. Draw upon any positive performance reviews, performance metrics. Consider whether you'd be willing to fly in for one week per quarter. Point to any existing permanently remote coworkers as examples / precedents.

- Talk to as many people in your direct management chain as possible (without going around people of course).

- Be prepared to leave.
Plaid is own by Visa, but I get your point. As I said, wish you the best!
Yeah, this person's position is totally baffling to me.

> group instant messaging is, largely, distracting and of little value (more on this later) and can best be dealt with in weekly ‘batches’, if it’s required at all.

I mean, I dunno about this guy, but I like interacting with my friends. I'll leave a group chat open all day on my other monitor. It's like a break room where you can chat with whoever's around, or all get together and have a nice conversation. Group chats are one of my favourite forms of online social interaction. You don't have to like them, but I can't imagine not at least understanding the appeal.

> people are finding ways to pushback on the ‘instant’ part of instant messaging, to put space and breathing room between when a message is sent and when they ‘deal’ with it.

Uh, yeah! That's part of what makes them work. They slide seamlessly between synchronous and asynchronous discussion. If I want to hear your thoughts at 1pm, I can message you. If you're busy, you can reply later. And if I'm available when you reply, then we can have our conversation synchronously. But if our schedules never align, we'll keep going back and forth until our discussion is over.
> I'm half convinced they are compromised...

Half? Sadly, it's hard to imagine these things not involving some well known 3-letter US agencies.
HSTS is this, but without the fallback.
Man that would be really nice.

Do you live in the USA? Very likely yes that DVD player will come with a EULA (End User License Agreement) in/on the box when it arrives.

Other places I'm not sure, but I'd guess you'll get one anyway.

Will they hold up in court? Who knows. But look and you're likely to find one they'll at least pretend applies to you.

(And to be clear, yes I agree that this is _ridiculous_)
I don't feel that's a medium / tool issue, I've found it's a usage pattern issue.

I have many email addresses. My most personal is known to people I like and trust. I use it the way many people use IM. I get zero zero spam in it. The emails I use for business or subscriptions or untrustworthy friends of course is spammy.

I imagine if one uses any IM service to enroll into dozens of services / products / subscriptions / websites / etc... Spam will come regardless of medium :)
Not “like NewPipe” in crucial regard.
^^ Listen to this! As a manager and developer as well, I 100% agree. If you are a great worker and your manager isn't incompetent, they will fight for you up the chain. But don't approach it abrasively at first. That just sets the wrong tone for everyone.

On the other hand, if a good manager doesn't care if you quit, it also says a lot. There are developers I was so relieved just quit. It wasn't worth it keeping them.
> pretty much dwarfs the skill sets of people in other well paid professions such as lawyers or doctors

I don't know how you could possibly measure this except by years of training, which would put both doctors and lawyers ahead of software developers. But really, it's apples and oranges.
I read the email thread, and stsp's comments on Lobsters. I get that there's a grudging agreement on both sides that OpenBSD can't abide by long embargoes, and will simply get notified later in the process when those are expected. That seems like a fine outcome, and not a cause to dunk on a researcher for having a "secret club".
Sen. Rand Paul's neighbor beat the piss out of him, but it wasn't a proper duel with appropriate weapons.
Only if you're truly willing to lose your job, in which case you hold all the cards, and if not you gotta go back to the office.
The difference is that the customer doesn't get any data on this case, not even anonymised.

Generally "sell" implies that the thing being sold is transferred in some way, but that's not happening here. The data remains with Facebook.

It's like going to a restaurant and buying a meal. They didn't sell you the oven, they just used it to make your food.
Oh, interesting, thanks, I didn't actually know that.
I did it, years be for covid. I could afford it if I significantly reduced my lifestyle, so I did. I have wanted to see how much I can reduce my lifestyle anyway as a sort of getting to know yourself, endurance experiment.

I wasn't burned out. I liked my job and my work. It wasn't the most consequential work, I was writing code for some product I didn't really believe in, but I enjoyed it. But my boss was insufferable. I think he was bipolar or something. So one day after the 100th time of toying with me to prove to himself who's in charge, I just quit, right there, on the spot, turned in my security keys to the building and left. I wasn't planning on it, I just realized that this man is never going to just let me contribute what I have to offer and enjoy my job and it was not going to get better, so I was not going to give him one more second of my life.

I have worked an odd job or two since and did a little bit of freelance coding. I've drifted quite a bit. It gets boring, but I am also much more at ease. I want to do something but I need to call my own shots. I have built some skills and hobbies I have wanted to build in my free time, and I have found my minimum lifestyle that I am happy with, there are a few ways I want to try to reduce further, and also I have put off lots of things I thought I wanted to do, and things I still think I want to do, but I think I'll figure out how to do them or whether I really want to eventually.
It didn't read my mind, it's just that my instant messaging is 0% automated messages and 100% people I know. My email is 98% automated messages from services I signed up for using my email, and 2% my mom.

The configuration is never over with email, because every time I sign up for something, I've got more filters to set up. With instant messaging? There was never a problem to begin with
>Surprisingly that "absolutely final" position wasn't that final anymore

I've been in this position a couple times with pay raises... and to be honest once this happens the job is more or less dead for me anyway.

To only pay me what I asked because I'm leaving absolutely obliterates my trust.
> How do we come to know things we didn't know before? And how can we trust those conclusions?

IMHO, this is the heart of what discerns scientists from engineers. Yes there is plenty of overlap, but to me this is the principle component. In engineering, the correct answer almost always exists. Enough eyeballs on the problem, sufficient double- and triple-checking converges on high confidence.

Scientific problems may not have a right answer, or gaining confidence has diminishing returns, and at some point you decide that's enough sigmas. You can scrutinize in so many ways but there's always blind spots.

(Data) scientists generally have to be way more comfortable with uncertainty. And as you mention, the easiest person to fool is yourself.
At the Navy, our best usage of ML is simply GUI scraping and figuring out the default action set for new hires paperwork. it basically is a screen macro that screams through forms. Took days before now takes 15 minutes. really dumb, but simple and useful in a bureaucratic 300k strong org, with possible real ML in the future for highlighting possible actions instead.
It's not clear-cut, at all. It'd be hard to defend any claim premised on a broad agreement in the field about how to handle disclosure.

In Vanhoef's case, though, he's bound by standards his university has for this stuff, not just his own personal preferences.
The consensus I’m hearing from epidemiologists is the mRNA vaccines should offer better immunity than infection. So it would seem the 8 month for immunity after infection should be a lower bound for the vaccine effectiveness.
Actually the concept was alive and well long before that.

Mid- and post-industrial revolution Europe had many large companies with many employees. In fact, the British East India Company (founded in the year 1600) was the first company to sell shares of ownership to raise enough capital to buy/build the necessary supplies to do large-scale business (in their case, mostly ship construction).

Of course, modern labor laws were created in response to the horrible human rights abuses committed by business owners against their employees beginning at that time.

The opposition of "big capital" vs "labor" (and hence the philosophy built on that dichotomy that underpins Marxism) didn't really exist prior to these large industrial revolution companies.

Prior to that, small businesses (and banks/lenders) were the bread and butter of economic society.
That's what it is. It's just a cash payment provided as stock. You can sell them immediately and turn them into cash. They are taxed as income.
Yes we should, but people have been trying for 20 years and it hasn't happened yet. The wheel has been successfully reinvented already.

The biggest reason for it is that in practice email isn't as open and decentralized as people like to think. For most of its history all advancements were controlled by Microsoft, AOL and Yahoo, and today it is controlled by Microsoft and Google.
Applies to pre-tenure professors (on the tenure track) as well. They do research/writing during this time if they want to be promoted. But once you reach the highest rank (full professor), there's not much your university can do if you aren't productive.

Many professors are of course still motivated by internal drive, but there aren't strong external controls that can be exerted.
