How did DreamWorld MMO get backed by YC?
Only works if the country doesn’t have a tax agreement already. Here in Singapore the forms have a box to state if you’re from the US. You can’t dodge it here. And apparently people here have given up us citizenship in favour of Singapore citizenship and tax was one of the reasons.
Different people have different privacy threat models. Gp even mentioned as much.
The only hard thing about consciousness is that we dont have a good enough interface to experiment with, the question about "what is consciousness" is meaningless and not scientific, science progesses when we start asking "how" things work, modeling the dynamics of things is the thought shift that allowed science
I have exactly the same workflow, and this is why I just use neomutt on my desktop and the standard mail.app on my phone. Searching via notmuch normally finds anything I'm looking for.

The economy works against us, not in favor of us. For example, we went from households with one breadwinner to two. What did it bring us? Did we get more free time? Nope. Cost of housing and living in general increased. That's what we got.
Hear hear. Noise pollution is one of the biggest reasons why I never want to live in a city again. And loud-pipe motorcycles are by far the biggest contributor to that—more than garbage trucks, delivery vehicles, truck engine (jake) brakes, or even sirens (except in New York where the sirens are inexplicably loud even outside the urban canyons of Manhattan).
Again, that you want, good for you. But when Google let people choose, and people choose in a way they didn't like, they immediately reversed course, pressured OEMs to make that user choice harder.
Yeah that's definitely what I'm interested in. I don't know much about the contracting market as I've mostly worked full time jobs so if you have any tips let me know.
Depends. If you have assets in US the Automated Collection System may be able to take part of what is due. If you want to go back to US depending on the amont you owe, it can be taken from property sells and can go up to US taking your passport (the US one only obviously), thats a recent rule and applies only if you owe more than $50k.
From a quick dig around, it looks like there's not a lot under $1m in Byron Bay - which makes sense, it's a very pretty town in a beautiful location, it's small, well known and popular.

An hour up the coast at Tweed Heads (the southern end of Gold Coast), things are a lot more reasonable.

Oh yes I forgot that case as well.
I think there isn't a compelling reason - For the sake of argument lets just say there is a difference in overall system performance - lets say 20% for a workload you care about.

you get to change your tooling. I think the unikernel tooling for building deployable images is/could be superior, but its different.

your service is now running as it did before, but you've also taken a whole lot of risk onboard that this experimental operating system used by a few tens of people around the world isn't going to cause problems for you. that there wont be some library you want to use that isn't supported.

if your job is to prop up microservices or run websites, I dont see why you would do this unless you were really that bored and had no sense of responsibility.
And how did you come up with this list of 'correct' password managers?
Good analysis or bad analysis, people making decisions just do what they want anyhow. In my cynical and simplistic summary of my own experience.

That graph didn't have a scale. It could be that 97% of users disabled the feature, or less than 1%. You just don't know.
As a former daily rider, I'm incredibly excited about this vision.

I do wonder immediately about safety. In crashes, separation from the bike is almost always good for the rider. Being strapped in via the hip harness sounds incredibly dangerous.

I wouldn't ride that faster than a SLOW walking speed in it's current iteration. I don't care how good the AI is. No surprise there are no demos of anyone riding this at speed.

It depends on the system.
Paris metro tunnels are constantly lit. It's less than station lighting, but more than enough that you don't need a lamp with you.

It's definitely an oddity, most systems are unlit (Barcelona has entrances lit then nothing, Ukraine, Russia, etc all unlit).

Interestingly, unlit tunnels bring the advantage of if you're seen, the lights are turned on, giving you a clear warning sign to leave.

In the Paris system, you need to actively count the delay between trains to ensure traffic isn't cut. We had one or two encounters where we realised that it had been 4 minutes between trains when they we running on 2 minute intervals..
There's a scene in Netflix's The Queen's Gambit where two skilled Chess players are driving to New York. During the monotonous drive, they decide to play Chess. But they do so entirely verbally, no board involved as they are skilled and are able to hold the boards state within their heads.

The best way to explain how I debug is through this metaphor. I don't need the debugger to know what's happening. I know exactly what's happening with my code. The only reason I use print statements is to know what's being returned to me through other people's black boxes. I don't want to be limited to one black box query per run, so I can add multiple statements exactly where I think the black box is being weird.
SEC says group touted of BitConnect, illegally raised $2B in crypto offering
Indeed. And much of that 996 time will be a total waste of lifespan - too-big meetings with no outcome, creation of presentations with no purpose, over-thinking decisions where random chance would be just as good. Or incessant internal propaganda all-hands performances. Inefficient work culture is just another contributor to Western cost disease.
It's highly educational, for one thing.

Perhaps I'm a slow reader, but is Code Complete 2 really a book you finish over a weekend? It's north of 850 pages long.
That's fine, but your comment makes no sense in response to someone who explicitly talked about their personal threat model. Of course they can grasp that other people have different ones, that's why they scoped the comment to their own.

and then there is the 'conspiracy theory' about the queen of england going to canada to see a bunch of children who later went missing....

Elite pedophiles are a real thing. Abuses such as this are a real thing.

Also, anyone who calls them self a 'royal' can just go fuck themselves. They're kleptocracy and thats all there is to them.
I’ve been doing this for years and it has coincided with more productivity and much more life satisfaction. It has made my working hours into pure, dense, focused and organized effort. I don’t think we are really built to work 8-9 hour shifts, we just end up padding the time with distractions and lack of focus.
I thought ECC wasn’t effective protection against Rowhammer? Agreed that it is incredibly useful otherwise. https://www.vusec.net/projects/eccploit/
Percentages do a great job of lying with statistics, so I’d want to see absolute growth there as well.

And are social security and Medicare included in these taxes? If so, social security was massively expanded and Medicare came into being. These were a big increase in income taxes but individuals are also the major beneficiaries.

> Also I’m not sure there’s a lot of difference in loss of privacy and tapping or swiping a credit card.

Well for one thing, at least in my experience, most credit card transaction data does not include granular information about the transaction (like the list of groceries you bought).
One thing I wish Bitwarden would add is the ability to make templates, and also the ability to add barcode-type fields, which would generate the actual barcode when viewed.
I think we should simply pass laws to make their business model illegal (at least the evil parts), and let them sort it out.

If they go under because they can’t adapt, well tough luck. There will be tons of smart businesses, investors, and individuals eager to chase all the new opportunities the death of Google would create.

And since the evil business models are illegal, the ones that come next will (probably) not be evil like Google was. And if they are, more regulations!
As someone who works at NanoVMs you can run them locally but if you don't need to might as well run them natively (eg: not as a unikernel).

As for "maintaining for linux" - most people are deploying their software to linux servers so if you can develop on linux that's great but if you develop on windows or mac you're going to have to do that regardless if you're using unikernels or not.
That’s by far the worst. Something bad happens to their family and they make a post about it! I have seen examples too terrible to post as a comment (assume something very bad happened and the next day theres a post on jt)

How to Stop Lurking
You are right. Big or small bikes, buses, trucks or a driver trying to quickly burn as much fuel as possible in their car are all disturbing.

A difference is that some of them are not trying to be loud on purpose while others are. That's what triggers me. Their violence.

If smoking is not allowed I don't understand why this is, or why rules are not enforced. Changing homes is much harder than changing sidewalks.

At least there's hope. Seeing silent electric bikes go by makes me smile.
It's true, but at one of those properties I wouldn't even consider Starlink because the cellular service is cheaper and perfectly good. 70/70 most of the time for $35/mo at 30-40 ms latency to most of the region.
There's also 'pass', created by Jason Donenfield, who also created WireGuard. But I think it's not for laypeople.

There are still quite a few Sprague cars preserved and maintained by various entities, some of them are even inserted in the traffic for special occasions like "Les journées du Patrimoine" during which the RATP ans other organisations show off a lot of very interesting and usually hidden stuff.

That particular train of Spragues, the one that is covered with paint, has been stored in many places over the years, without a clear intent as to its future, like the BOA prototype. The first time I saw it was in the Vaugirard yard, which wasn't exactly a walk-in, so that made it a hard target compared to the regular trains. When they moved it in the connexion between lines 7 and 10 it became a much easier target and a go-to place for just about everyone.

I'm afraid the RATP doesn't care much about that specific train.

As for types, yes, we have all of them. Very few of us care about historical importance but it might actually be more of an attractor than a detractor for those who do.
Counterpoint: as it is with Facebook, the quality of your feed depends entirely on your connections and who among those connections you have chosen to mute/unfollow. I have over a 1000 connections and I've assiduously unfollowed/muted anyone in my network or adjacent to my network who posts anything that I feel is not substantial.

A sample of interactions I had recently:

Yes, now that I think about it more deeply, I think that with engineering problems you are more likely to get quadratic constraints because of pythagoras' theorem.
Whenever I visit Appalachia, I ask how would I view this city if I were in China.The comparison is apt because the light industry mountain towns feel a lot like their equivalents in the PRC.

As a county level city , Chinese Pikeville would be quite prosperous : education and healthcare steer it away from heavily polluting industries, it’s location on the river and highways make trade much easier than other parts of Eastern KY and its age demographics / poverty load / opiate abuse are comparatively good to the region. http://censusreporter.org/profiles/16000US2160852-pikeville-...

The trouble comes when you compare it to other cities in Kentucky : particularly Ashland or Richmond. Pikeville’s location is a serious liability and it’s flat population growth over the last decade suggest even if it’s not dying it’s not growing.

Stable regional centers are nothing to balk at - but the future does not look like Pikeville.
I use a debugger to step into libraries and other people’s code regularly. Irrespective of whether I can or cannot hold the logic in my end I don’t find it particularly useful.

I’m not sure why a useful utility is so polarising. It’s a helpful aid - like a chisel in a carpenter’s toolbox.
It's being reported that they used ground-penetrating radar. I don't believe any sort of exhumation has been performed - or if so, it hasn't been reported. I think it's likely therefore that this is an approximation/estimate from whatever data is coming up in the radar.

Would be interesting to know many more details: was this completely unmarked? What were the conditions of the burials? How old are they (both in terms of age of remains but age at death as well)?
Using a credit card still has an easily recognizable physical interaction element that’s easy for most people to understand. “I swipe my card, so my card company and maybe others know what I bought and where”.

The pervasive passive collection on a mobile phone is harder to internalize. “I carry a persistent, always on radio beacon that can record and transmit to arbitrary third parties all of my actions, searches, continual location, contacts both electronically and in person, and is tied directly to my identity (many countries require ID to obtain a SIM card)” is not how most non tech people would describe their mobile phone.
I think the news feed on LinkedIn is an absolute cesspool, but it's not hard to see why. It has the same "look at me!" dynamics of any social network, and in addition it has the "any present or potential future employer, look at how great I am", too.

So you end up with a combination of sappy "look at this insightful business anecdote I have!" combined with then lots of over-congratulatory posts because nobody wants to offend a potential job contact. Never have so many words been said that say so little.

Still, I feel that for its core purpose, connecting with known business contacts and job hunting, LinkedIn does a fine job. They just have to layer on all this other useless functionality to give legions of product people, designers and engineers something to do.
It's more of a prevention than a cure, but Stoicism (the philosophy, not the abstract concept) is a good philosophy of life that would help strengthen you for this kind of negatives. You wouldn't stop caring or feeling, but you'd be more in control over what the feelings do to you, and see these events in a more "positive" light.
Ask HN: Where do you see the future of computer science jobs?
As a classical Backend Web Developer I am a little bit worried about my field. Sure things are looking fine right now and there will always be some jobs in maintaining legacy PHP systems. Still wont hurt to keep my eyes open, right?

The classical Web is slowly dying. Lot's of people managed to transition into native App development for Android and iOS but how long will it last? Sure all the marketing people think that everyone and their dogs need an app to be trendy but do they really? Are people not sick of having to install another app? Isn't Facebook and Instagram all they care about?

AI is currently at the top of another hype cycle. It might have lasting staying power and real world applications this time. Heck it might even be able to avoid another AI winter but how will the churn of thousands of boot camp students chasing the next big thing effect the job market in the long term?

Personally I am really interested in Data Science so would be interesting to hear more about people working in this field. I heard it is a lot about cleaning up data which is something I actually like to do. Lot's of people are trying to get into the field though.

So what do you guys think? What are the best skills to learn to be ready for the future?
>> "你吃了吗?"

I was told by a Chinese colleague that this is a very informal greeting, strictly between friends - pals, rather.

I didn't ask, at the time, because I was more preoccupied with trying to pronounce it (my colleague was very helpful). But I would like to know the context behind this. I mean, what is it in asking about having eaten that signifies a greeting?

In Greek, for instance, we say "yia sou" ("γειά σου"), for "hello". It means, basically, "have health". To me (well of course it would) it makes sense to wish something good as a greeting, I think "shalom" for example, means "peace", etc. I don't get the "have you eaten" greeting and I'm very very curious. All help in this matter is deeply appreciated :)
Bigger more powerful bikes usually have flatter torque curves which make the bike easier to control.
It's based on the latest Android (AOSP) + privacy/security improvements. From a UX point of view it's basically a vanilla Android without any proprietary Google code (which means no Google Play of course but you can install F-Droid). The main developer is a security researcher and many of his improvements have been accepted upstream to AOSP.
I never say anything I really think or feel under my real name which isn't utterly benign and uncontroversial. There is a profound sense of unsafeness when you're in full public view like that. It seems almost unavoidable that the end result is almost entirely watered down blathering.

I don't really see any antidote to this in our current environment other than operating as much as possible on platforms allowing pseudonymous accounts. If some unbalanced rando decides they really hate something I said, I'd prefer if they had to jump through at least a hoop or two before being able to tie it to my location or my family.
Fastmail rightly points out that the Australian law has no meaningful impact on them. They do not offer an end-to-end encrypted service, and hence, don't need to backdoor it.

The vast majority of mail services will hand your data to the government on court order. Though if your mail is hosted in a different country than you live in, it's arguably more frustrating for them to do so, since they must use international agreements to get it.

If state ordered surveillance is in your threat model, you need a very different type of mail service than almost everyone else.
Nope, no thank you, hard pass on Quillette. Friends don’t let friends read the skull calipers magazine.

> While (its founder) calls Quillette “independent,” “centrist,” and even “a community of liberal humanists,” the publication showcases racist pseudoscience purporting to show that people of color are intellectually and morally inferior to whites. Many of the writers of its race pieces are proponents of the Human Biodiversity Movement (HBD), a euphemistic name for a campaign to advance scientific racism launched in 1996 by Steve Sailer, a blogger for the white supremacist website VDare.

Maybe curating LinkedIn is a skill that not many people desire to possess. I have an account because it's expected when you're looking for a job. I'm not interested in articles about business or whatever the good content on LinkedIn is supposed to be.
What you suggest shows that individuals within the Google organisation do not have blatant open access to personal information. What do you think about the access of personal information to the organisation Google itself? Today the data is safe from menial concerns such as a google employee looking over private information, but what about tomorrow when whole troughs of such private information are made available to other organisations, a la Cambridge Analytica and Facebook, for commercial or other nefarious purposes?

The article here talks about how google executives deliberately made privacy settings harder to find because the people were actually using them. The article also suggests, through court documents, that google coerced other manufacturers to do the same.

My family and I just did this. We fly out to NZ on Tuesday. Although it wasn’t easy (I doubt this kind of move ever is) if your specialty is lacking in NZ and you already are contracting for a NZ company and you have no criminal record, it’s very doable.

The question is - can you deal with the difference in salary? For my family it’s a no-brainer but I suspect others aren’t as keen on it.
That's very interesting. Userfaultfd opened a lot of features in Linux.

When I saw 'unfork' I thought 'someone found out how to replace the current process with a child process that was a older snapshot'. Any idea on how to do this? Like 'OK I did something wrong, let me back up a bit, kill me, replace me with my child x and refather every other one of my children processes to child x and gooo'.
"Guillotining books is unnecessary in order to acquire a good image". I don't know. I remember fondly a copier with a rounded screen at some university library years ago (University of Colorado?) where one could plunk down a bound volume and get a good copy without damaging the spine. I did foolishly buy a book--specially ordered--which turned out to have been printed from page images taken by copying on a flat-platen copier. Better than fifty percent of the pages lost anything from a letter to several letters in the "gutter".

"based on a pseudoscientific notion that books on wood-pulp paper are quickly turning to dust". Some are, some aren't. Some years back my parents shipped me the set of Mark Twain I had read as a boy. An awful lot of the pages were falling apart. Perhaps our family hadn't protected them well enough from light and air--but it's hard to see how one can read a book without exposure to both.

We recycle probably 10" of newspapers--The Washington Post and The New York Times--ever week. In the days before the newspapers lost all the revenue from classified ads, it would have been twice that. So a year of a big metropolitan paper from the 1990s could amount to forty feet of newspaper. That's a fair bit to make room for. I have some sympathy for the librarians there.
