Yeah, with the number of YouTube ads I've been seeing recently, I was considering a family subscription so that I could get better value for money, and share the joy.

With this restriction on Workspace accounts, I decided to just forego a subscription altogether until they get their act together.
Seems pretty clear after some legwork. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_vaccine Robert Malone was first to the scene developing RNA vaccines, Katalin Karikó "attempted to solve some of the main technical barriers to introducing mRNA into cells" and "solved one of the key technical barriers by using modified nucleosides to get mRNA inside cells without setting off the body's defense system." Because the powers that be ie Media, Academia favor and cover Katalin she may be nominated for the Nobel even. Malone to date goes unacknowledged in most cases just like we've seen so often in so many discoveries. Katalin herself supposedly agreed that she made improvements on the works of others but news stories rarely if ever reveal the "others". Perhaps sooner rather than later, credit and acknowledgements will come.
Thank you for the suggestion. Sounds like my kinda place!

You paid that much for a water heater and it didn't have an eight-year warranty? Locally I'm seeing $650 for gas-fired 50-gallon 12-year-warranty heaters.
I am so fucking pissed off. I've had my nick for 17 years -- 17 fucking years on freenode -- all gone because a toddler chose to have a meltdown.
Wow, I didn't realize they did that... I've had Day One suggested to me many time and always resisted, I guess I'm glad I did. I don't know what I want as an alternative, though - I guess what would be ideal is something that is Desktop/Mobile, syncs markdown to a shared filesystem like Dropbox, and has lots of optional bells and whistles for cataloguing and organization that I wouldn't mind losing since I'd still have the actual content in markdown.

No. The market size expanded exponentially for each of these opportunities - changing the economics of the business models and making them viable at scale.

The internet was nothing in the 90s. A place for mostly nerds in first world countries.

Yes ofcourse.
Having tests helps a lot, take as example someone building a markdown parser. If u have the knowledge of how to build parsers, then an existing suite of tests is going to speed your work quite a bit by ensuring that you build the right thing and covering the exact features you need without any ambiguity.

Ofcourse I do realise that in real world examples there's not many test cases which cover a feature fully. But this was all thinking hypothetically.
I only just managed to close the tabs before I started shaving this yak. Save yourselves!
In other contexts I’ve seen its opposite called “failure demand”, which I think is an apt notion for this context as well: Increased load on the system, not from original users’ intent, but from the response to failures, including retries from the user due to failures of prior interactions.

I found the paper on metastable failures brought back a lot of systems theory for me.

I work in consulting and struggle to keep all of my calendars up-to-date with between company and client -- I want both domains to see my entire calendar (the union of two or more calendars). Without this I was often double booked because someone couldn't see one of my other events. And auto-forwarding invites had downsides too.

I created a tool to automatically replicate calendar events between O365 and Google calendars once given OAuth access.

Originally I built this for myself, but after a few friends/colleagues asked, I built up additional tooling around it and launched a product.

I have some experience soldering SOICs, but the difference between me and a pro is insane. I've seen someone remove and replace a half-dozen 0805 (2x1.2mm) SMD components with a fairly standard fine-tipped Metcal iron (not even a rework station) in under a minute.

In practically every case when talking about a publicly listed company, such a number is referring to a fully diluted market capitalization based on the net present value of the cashflows which would be received by the common stock holders. The cash could be dividends, it could be buybacks, they could be a result of regular cash coming out of the business, or a sale of assets - it doesn't matter. There really is no confusion amongst people in the industry.If they are talking about something different, they will explicitly say so (the easy example is Enterprise Value, or EV).
It seems there are currently 3 Freenodes: half the old one (still up with services), the other half (no services), and the new one (the only one on the DNS rotation).

I think shorter work weeks would be more realistic/desirable than full FIRE. However, I suspect most successful FIRE people must develop a or two hobby that inevitably generates money and keeps them busy. Otherwise most will just get bored out of their mind after 1-2 years.
It's pretty clear at this point that Lee is an unstable lunatic. There's no rhyme nor reason to what he's doing.
Ah I see the miscommunication, I wasn't really talking about loans but just more like settlements between parties which can use escrow. I definitely see your point about most loans being unimplementable purely as smart contracts. I guess I'm not quite as convinced as you that there can't be a useful role for smart contracts as one portion of a system that also includes legal contracts and traditional liability. It seems to me that it's harder to take out and especially to underwrite loans than it needs to be and I think there's some room for improvement there, though I'm certainly not completely convinced that this will come to fruition.

Thanks for your patience in making me see what you meant!

Ask HN: How to self-study and change job to front-end web developer
Hi HN,

I am a LSI design hardware engineer with more than 3 year experience. Since my career path is not so bright (few hardware companies on my location, few works for LSI field, cannot expand my team, low salary), I want to change to software development, which I've been loved and passionate for a long.

I've learned about HTML, CSS and JS in my free time and have customized a Hugo theme to create my wife a website (with Linux server management skill). I also have basic knowledge about programming (mostly python and bash), since I've done some small tools and scripts to automating things in my daily life.

I choose front-end web developer because it's related to my work now (create and optimize UI). With these information, could you give me some advice about changing job? Thank you.
> The new Web UI has gotten quite a lot faster since release.

as someone who used gmail since the first week of beta: this is most definitely not true

Meaning, in my view, is not a switch; it's a dial. We can have some more than we have now.

Overall I agree with you: I'm not naive, nor am I a utopianist. I'm fine with more equitable. But we're so entrenched in the status quo that it feels like you have to talk like a revolutionary to get even a shred of "a little more equitable".

Edit: wait though what's a "post-scarcity" economy, anyway, concretely? I've heard since I can remember that we grow enough food as a species to feed everyone (and yet we throw tons of food out) - is that not a decent marker of being post-scarcity? We seem to have enough wealth in the US to be in neverending proxy or non-proxy aggressive wars against various groups of poor and largely non-white people - that wealth, used slightly differently, has got to be some kind of dent in all sorts of scarcity, no? I'm not writing this to attack you whatsoever; I'm genuinely curious. Post-scarcity is a phrase I've heard smarter people than me utter every now and then, and it only just occurred to me that I've never actually figured out what it meant. (I'll Google it now of course but I'd love to hear your perspective all the same. Cheers.)
The Supreme Court curtailed the broad scope of the CFAA recently in the van Buren case. I personally agree with that decision (and also find it funny as it continues the long trend of Clarence Thomas being on the wrong side of history). While van Buren's actions were obviously problematic he was an authorized user of the computer system.

The issue is the vagueness of the CFAA has been a prosecutor's wet dream and a predictable source of overreach. Case in point: Aaron Swartz.

So here's what's interesting: by taking up this case SCOTUS is potentially going in the other direction. The Appeals Court held that the CFAA didn't apply, allowing hiQ to continue. And here's where (in my layman's view) SCOTUS may choose to act: The Appeals Court stopped LinkedIn taking action to impede hiQ's access.

I personally view this as overreach. There's a difference between not "hacking (in CFAA) terms a website and blocking the information provider impeding bots.

As much as Microsoft/LinkedIn is a nightmare of data misuse and dark patterns (eg to obtain contacts), I think it would be a bad decision to let the current hiQ ruling stand. Disallowing sites from taking action to block scrapers from systematically taking all that information and building a competitor seems like a bad idea.

But given the van Buren ruling, it seems unlikely SCOTUS will reverse course and declare hiQ's actions "hacking" (in CFAA terms). I suspect they'll curtail the remedy.
I gotta say, making scraping illegal would be a great mercy towards web developers. It's just the worst
Searing shouldn't be an issue with induction - the pans heat up very quickly and there will be no hot or cold spots as long as your cooktop has a coil big enough for the cookware that you want to use.

Flat bottomed woks can work with induction however the round bottomed ones won't sit close enough to the coil to heat up properly. An outdoor wok burner could be a good way for your partner to get their wok hei fix without burning gas in the house: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpoSvprBJpE.

The main downsides I'd mention:

When I cook with induction I'm not comfortable shaking the pan to sauté or flip food. The surface of the cooktop is supposed to be quite durable but it looks like glass and I tend to baby it against the (even imagined) possibility of scratching.

Only ferrous-based cookware will be heated by the cooker so any aluminum or copper pans in the house become useless.
> Consider that the mainstay of virtually all pop culture are drugs, alcohol, and premarital sex, most or all of which are embraced by the “normal” characters but taboo among American Christians.

Leaving aside the question of whether those are the mainstays of popular culture (the traditional formulation would drop alcohol and add rock-and-roll), that seems...distorted.

While attitudes on some of those things differ between American Christians and the general public, it doesn't really seem at all defensible to claim that either drugs, alcohol, or premarital sex are “taboo” among America Christians, generally.

How a 16-Year-Old Made $1.7 Million in Revenue Reselling Scarce Goods
My personal favorite is order pickup from Home Depot. I think I’ve saved hours of time. Both from not searching through aisles to find what I want (which never seems to be where it’s supposed to be...) and because when something is not actually in stock, you don’t waste a trip to find out.
Th Teams lack of tabs experience is remarkably similar to the IE6 experience, and their giving it away free to try and kill Slack is similar to how IE established dominance.
Yeah, I guess component quality matters, the condiditions matter, rider style and goals matter. It seems like there are plenty of reasons to prefer disc brakes (especially hydraulic), but plenty of others to prefer rim brakes, depending on all of these factors.
Listen and repeat back what you hear in your own words.

What might sound like “deep thinking” is often synthesizing. And when it’s said in a different way, translated in ones own words, it will be a different take on what the person is telling you. Then if you learn to synthesize the other things you’ve heard and weave that into the narrative you’ll add a lot of value to conversations.

Then a lot of insight is a natural “next step” from one of the descriptions.

We tend to imagine creativity as whole cloth ideas generated by some genius from the ether, but it’s really a listening, repeating, and taking turns seeing one small next step or issue..
Your efforts are, and likely always will be (especially with the attitude), tainted by your inbreeding peers.
Yes, some are calling it "techno-feudalism".

I think I first heard it from Yanis Varoufakis (https://youtu.be/YpOLHSzZ8jc). Watched as many interviews of him as I could find during those long days at the beginning and middle of the pandemic. He's an exceedingly sane person.
Leadership quality is huge. Knowing what to work on, and having the tools and support to be effective is invaluable.

I’ve found that as you move up, the ability to “lead yourself” (e.g. solve for those despite clear direction) is essential. A CTO can’t just ask their leadership what to do. It’s their job to figure that out! (With high level vision/direction from the CEO, but the details are on you)
The whole thing is a fashion show with very narrow limits of what the UCI wants people to do. The rules that ban e.g. the famous Lotus bike were explicitly stated as being meant to discourage wind tunnel testing. Fairings and recumbents have been banned for nearly 100 years because they're too much faster than UCI-style bikes.
Amen, 50mm on my Diverge.
Here’s a simple one from my career. A calls B calls C. C makes a bad deploy. B passes through the errors from C and A retries against them. The retries push B’s utilization past the limit and instances start getting OOM killed. The C deploy is reverted. But the retries from A to B aren’t about C anymore, they’re about the fact that B is overloaded. A and B are in a neat little death spiral. We have to stop A, let B recover, and then slowly turn A back on.

After this incident we installed a per-instance rate limit on all services.

You seem to believe that in your face conservative white evangelical Protestants are the only Christians. This speaks more to your own biases than society’s.

Every poll of Americans and religions shows Christianity as by far the most popular choice. There is simply no way to square your idea that nonreligious is the default when over 70% of Americans identify as Christian.[0]

As for representation, I have no way verifying this, but I suspect there are more Roman Catholic characters in American film and television than conservative white evangelicals Protestants. If for no other reason than mass, iconography, and religious tchotchkes photography well. Hell, Catholics have the entire horror genre on lock. WEPs have what? Footloose?

Baseball has certainly gotten.. less interesting to watch in recent years, with doctored balls and players optimizing for homeruns (which increases strikeout rates), plus the game takes so dang long for so little action.

Foolish Baseball has IMO a great take on a list of things the MLB could do to "fix" baseball, with not blatantly allowing super sticky stuff being one of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh_F8WtrDCo (I also like the idea of a shot clock for pitchers)

If sticky stuff didn't negatively impact the end product, then I'd say just allow it. But it does, even though I love seeing wiffle ball-esque nastiness, because it results in far fewer balls put in play. I want to see fielders making great catches and throws, crazy bassrunning, and legitimate hustled triples, not _just_ whiffs and homeruns and Shohei Ohtani.

So maybe there's a middle ground where they could provide a legal product beyond just a rosin bag that pitchers can use to ensure control without artificially boosting spinrates so significantly, and then continue to collect balls throughout the year and issue harsh suspensions for illegal foreign substances found.

I don't blame pitchers for having used it in the current environment, seeing as their paychecks were on the line and EVERYONE else was doing it too because it wasn't being enforced until social media put a spotlight on it (except DeGrom seemingly).

Unfortunate name collisions in this space. (The concept closure, Google Closure, Clojure.) That’s Clojure he’s using.
I don't see why linkedin should be allowed to monetize it if other companies aren't. If they just monetized the website via ads it would be fine, but since they sell your aggregated data to people I don't see why other data brokers shouldn't be able to also sell your publicly available data. Linkedin as a data broker and linkedin as a website are two unrelated businesses, and extending dominance in one to the other is cause for anti competitive action from the government, HiQ already won in lower courts which is why this has gone this far.
