Well yeah, when the job is too crappy people quit, too. But they stay a lot longer when the job gets crappy slowly than when it suddenly gets crappy overnight.
Maternity temping is definitely a thing. Also, hospitality - outside London, the flow of tourists is typically too low in the Winter months to sustain jobs, but picks up significantly in Summer. The Christmas Rush also starts around mid-October now, in terms of recruiting, so that will give you around 3 months of steady employment in bookshops and other retail.

The govt gets an unrestricted license to use the technology produced by SBIR funding.

The "R" in SBIR is research. By the end of govt funding (phase II), the company is supposed to commercialize it on their own. The money maxes out around $1M, for producing a prototype only.

Compared to private equity, it's only angel-investment-sized funding, but for a high-risk project that requires research to demonstrate so angel investment will not suffice. It is not ready to launch after govt funding.
The idea your proposing sounds great. I'm all for.

> PS: Please pay ABOVE prevailing wage to attract the best talent to the advancement of technology.

I don't think that's necessary at all. It seems to me that pay is almost never the reason people quit academic research careers. It's the uncertainty, the short contracts, and the necessity of brutal hours in the early career stages. Sure, terrible conditions like these can in some sense be offset by pay, but I suspect everyone is better off if that isn't the mechanism used.
I wrote up the bug report for this a couple of weeks ago when iOS 14.6 first rolled out. iOS 14.6 at least did finally fix using HLS streams in gl.texUpload2D() on iPhone 12 series (which was broken since launch) but this new bug did mean our delight at that fact was somewhat short-lived!

Well done on your viral tweet that got some personal attention from Apple. Usually when I spend days narrowing down Safari bugs to minimal reproducible test cases, finding workarounds, and writing everything up in detail on the webkit bug tracker the only public response from Apple is the radar importer bot, and then everything goes quiet.

Btw, your original twitter thread implies you were the author of the bug report. Minor annoyance, but I did spend quite a while writing that up :)
The idea to avoid the news and that news are biased is not new nor revolutionary. But I like this “information arbitrage” idea — most people get their news from X, Y, Z so if you can research an event more objectively you maybe able to profit from it.

If we're to have a true market then we need to eliminate a bunch of market distortions, in particular the 30-hour threshold where a job is considered full-time and the 5-hour binary cutoff for unemployment, so that people who want to work somewhere between 5 and 30 hours a week (which I suspect is actually most people) can actually express that preference by offering a price for that much labour.

Do people still gripe about DLLs? I remember them being confusing and problematic 25 years ago when downloads and disk space were expensive, so apps tended to not ship with the DLLs they depend on. I haven't worried about DLL dependency or compatibility in at least a decade, maybe more, expect when trying to get a Windows app to run under Wine.

Progressiveness for its own sake is weird attitude western culture is buying into. I have posted this quote before on HN but you might find it relevant:

"In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it."

What i noticed in my country (South Africa) that recently had a mini-explosion in online-groceries systems. Is how terrible their "search" is.

Many of these companies are "traditional" brick-and-mortar stores and although they have lots of I.T skills, it seems there is very little digital-product skills. Like Solr/ElasticSearch/App-Dev etc..

>electricity grid or car manufacturing

electricity grid became a commodity (I believe arguably car manufacturing did as well), not sure if the theory isn't that any system that lasts over the long term will either become commoditised or cease to be commercially viable.
I don't know, whether it is viable. But it is not just for the lazy. I have been using grocery deliveries once or twice a month for years mainly because I don't (want to) own a car. For me it is not about cash to spare, but just a tradeoff what I'm spending it on. What made me to a degree stop using these services is the race to the bottom that the startups in this space have started.

Sadly, this discussion appears to be at an end. Nondualistic thought processes are not based on definitions. They are based on direct experience of the ineffable, beyond words themselves. You keep trying to impose Aristotelian logic on to paradoxes, contradictions, and nonsensical attempts to break one out of dualistic perceptions. There are numerous ways this works, from dreaming, to creativity, to peak and flow experiences of all kinds, all of which aim to break the mind out of what is perceived as separate and to give it a new holistic POV. Just as you cannot have music without the notes that define it, you also cannot have the notes without the empty spaces between them. You can pretend that the notes represent the music, but it is also equally composed by its absence in the form of silence. They are one and the same.

My company incorporated in December 2020. Mid pandemic. One of the people I’m talking about starts in two weeks.

I know this doesn’t fit everyone’s model of WFH utopia, but whatever happened to an assumption of good faith at HN?
It’s hard to build a product that shows you how clothes fit on someone like you as a B2B service. Retailers don’t want to showcase their clothes on anyone who isn’t anatomically perfect. Plus, if you try to source a more diverse set of “models” from real people wearing clothes, you run into the problem that most people are uncomfortable sharing photos of themselves “modeling” clothes publicly.

You’re also right that fit is only a part of the picture, and even the terms fit and style don’t quite capture what’s really going on you really want to see what clothes are going to look like on someone who looks like you and dresses like you (same preferences for fit, style, etc). Again, hard as B2B for sure.

I’ve been working on a B2C solution in this space for a while (fitfirst.app)…all too familiar with the nuances and intricacies in this space.

Fun fact and totally tangential: if you have two clothes with the exact same measurements and material that are dyed different colors, the darker dyed version tends to feel tighter than the lighter dyed one. Has to do with how the dye feels on the skin. It’s a nuance you can’t get from a photo or rendering.
I have the impression that it's at least true if we change it to "about controlling the end user's experience". It can't be denied that the experiences are more crafted, and the users are more guided to do things now than before.

But there's also the shift where the developer makes the user be drawn towards fulfilling the developer's needs instead of their own. Dark patterns are all about the user experience, as are ads, loot boxes and microtransactions.

I'm also seeing a more benign shift from letting the user focus on the activity towards focusing on the brand. Multi-messengers place contacts front and center, and BlackBerry used to be this way I'm told. Maemo gave each user their own window. Today, each window belongs to a differently branded messenger, each with all the contacts. Similarly, desktop applications often don't integrate into the system's visual language, placing their brand recognition over user's sense of familiarity.

Finally, the growing prevalence of permissive licenses, where nothing is owed to the user, compared to copyleft with GPL as the prime example is just an example of the user's experience being simply considered less important than before.
Chrome 91 on Android also managed to break WebAssembly memory growth which affects our sites too, so it's been a rough couple of weeks working around browser bugs for us.

If MMT is not wrong (and it's not), it means that the government can spend all that it choose in its own currency with the only limit of inflation. This means, that the size of public deficit is important because it can be inflationary, but the size of the public debt, it's only an accumulate of past deficits and it's kind of irrelevant.

If this is the case, it seems to me, that when, politicians say that there is not enough money, or the public debt is too high, they are basically lying to the population. That's the kind of lying that we don't hear when is time to spend in a war, or cut taxes for the rich, for instance.

We agree that many politicians are in the pockets of wealthy fat cats.

As a manager it seems to me that WFH externalises one of the most expensive costs to employees: office space.

I think you’re being naive if you think that BigCorps aren’t thinking about how to turn this to their advantage.
1. Citizens United.

2. A populace that is so beaten down, and slaves to the wealthy/corporations, they can't afford to effectively rally against the system.

3. A populace that still is under the delusion that the American way is the best way. Greed is good. I don't think I ever met a young person whom didn't believe they would make it big one day, on their own. (The rich kids always leave out dad's empathic help received up into their 30's when giving that "Horatio Algiers" speech. The only people I see making the American dream are from wealthy families? (Gavin Neusome, whom I really like, and went to school with, would probally be homeless, or a drug addict if not for that caring, wealthy family. He had some big stumbling blocks family took care of growing up. I know members of his family. I know how much help he got while finding his calling in his 20's to 30's. Now he's living the American dream. Again--he's a good guy, and he knows what it's like to have problems. I think that why he's a practical liberal politician?)

4. Spirituality, morality, and ethics are something that used to be admired, now it's just for suckers.

5. I am kinda proud of our legal system some months? I imagine that will slowly change over the years though. The Senate has filled 1 Federal Judge seat since Biden took office. Under Trump, McConnel was to ordered to fill vacant seats like a drive though at an In and Out Burger, after a cannabis rally.

6. America used to be better, and most Americans still believe it's a great country. (I would happily move to a Scandinavian, or certain European countries if I was younger. Hell--Canada, and Australia look ok? Any country that truly helps it's poor is fine with me.)
This is totally untrue for reputable publications like Wired or Ars Technica. The editors may shut something down that isn't interesting, but the writers aren't making decisions based on profitability.

If people want good journalism, get it from a good publication with real editorial firewalls and standards. If you're reading blogs, you're going to get blogs.
I like that too. I like it when the threat is external, and the people get together and collectively do something that makes the threat go away.
But globally it was much more. We are talking about in total 800 arrests with 155 of these in Sweden.
And how much of that money is flowing into buying up residential housing now because every other asset is so inflated? Basically every index is at all time highs. The stock market more or less recovered last summer and they keep buying? WTF is the plan.
> I would have opted for helping students set up a Python environment on their PCs or laptops

You assume that students have a PC or laptop particularly one they can do whatever they want on and that even if they do parents are happy with them installing development tooling on the laptop.
Bologna can be weird. I remember speaking with someone who'd spent his military service there, and his first words where "such a dirty and criminal city". That's not what the stats say or what the classic image of the city is (nor what my experience generally was, growing up there), but obviously stats are not the full picture and heaven does not exist.
As someone who used to think a lot of the stuff in here, and definitely no longer does, I can say that this is not someone who is a practitioner.

Adam, if you’re reading this, I would definitely encourage you to take a step back and go deep on how you might prove that the problems are where you think they are. The stuff you’re describing has all been done many times at this point and just either hasn’t turned out to be valuable to solve, or now has big effective companies doing it, or is extremely difficult for non-obvious reasons. Your characterization of total doom in modern experimentation is inaccurate.
Totally agree with you.

Universities need ways to finance themselves.

Tech companies are expert at avoiding paying taxes that could be used to pay for the research and this patent trolling could be an attempt to get some of that money back using the broken rules of the current system.
> I'm curious, do you take this same stance in meat space? Would you rather not know who your friends are and address them by a changing handle?

There are many people I'm friendly with that I know little about. They could very well be giving me fake information about their life. I don't see this as a problem.

> Would you rather be given a pseudonymous name to use for the duration of your trip to the grocery store?

Well in most cases I wouldn't give anyone any name at all. Why does the grocery store require my name?

> The claim is not baseless. There are strong technical reasons why identifying the components in your system is a good thing. and there are practical social reasons.

There are also strong technical reasons not to. And there are practical social reasons not to. As far as I can tell, you've provided essentially no argument supporting this general claim:

I see inflation headlines a lot daily. What will it mean for broad ETFs like VT/VWRA? I am one of those who invested in current environment. So far, the it's good. Does JPMorgan anticipate crash in stock market as well?
IndexedDB is indeed cancer. Usually it's also unnecessary, as you can store a significant amount of data in localStorage and the API is extremely simple to use.

If you need to store more data, why not do it on the server? What are the use cases for having a full-blown relational db client-side?
The chromebook I had was not intel based, which complicates things along similar lines. From what I recall I wasn't able to install actual linux for some reason. Most likely compilation would be required at some point (and starting the JVM) and this machine was rather slow for such tasks, regardless of OS.
> At the same time, consumers surveyed by the New York Fed also expected household income and spending to increase, particularly among households with annual income of more than $100,000, the central bank said.

Quite interesting how much there is, at least, a two tier economy. How to deal with that with just one lever, interest rates, it is very difficult. You may stop inflation in one tier and send the other one down in a spiral. Or the other way around.
It diminishes how much money the country that invented it can make.

I remember that.

At that time I was paying attention to people actually knew something about vaccine development. They said it would take at least 18 months. Being a practical pessimist I decided to take the under and say 12 months.

The guys that knew what they were talking about were mostly right, most vaccines making it are taking about 18 months to make it to distribution. But I bet that out of ~100 vaccine programs a couple of them beat that by six months.
Is this distinction really about whether the customisation language is declarative? It seems to me that Dhall has the advantages Brian Grant attributes to "Infrastructure as Data", although it is an executable specification.
I should apologize for the dismal grammar, just had a couple near sleepless nights so I wasn't at my peak. I meant that there was one exception to the observation that characterization in Foundation was not very good.
Ditching my hardtail mtb for a gravel bike was life changing. I was mostly riding gravel paths anyway, combining roads and gravel my range increased a lot, and commutes are much more fun. In retrospect, it could be that the 4x more expensive gravel bike just is a better bike :)
Not if the games become boring strikeout fests.
I recall that they announced this change. I think they had been getting too much flak for providing screen time and publicity for the loonier sides. Sucks if they have traded one journalistic failure for another.

I can't find the announcement, but https://about.abc.net.au/2017/11/whats-wrong-with-being-fair... is the ABCs take from 2017, and https://independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/l... an example of criticism from 2019 that the ABC was still "both-siding".

> Bollocks. Lots of people are saying that, or at the very least saying things that directly imply this with arguments to historical injustices which, though real and serious, have no causal bearing on the specific case being discussed.

Lots of people say vaccines cause autism or that the earth is flat. Just because some people are wrong, doesn't mean I am. Just look up the definition of white privilege, read a book about it. It's been an academic concept for decades, just because a bunch of kids on twitter use it in a wrong way doesn't change the concept.

> "Ceteris paribus" is a wonderful average at which no one lives. Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos are white. That has zero impact on the earning power of a West Virginia coal miner whose job is never coming back and had gotten hooked on Oxy.

I've got no clue what you're talking about. The point isn't to say that all white people have the same lives, it's an absolutely ridiculous claim. It's to say that it's, all else being equal, easier to be white than black. This has been shown in countless studies, which correct for differences and look to isolate the effect of e.g. skin color or ethnic background, but you choose to ignore it.

For example, tons of studies show if you apply for jobs with a black-sounding name, you get fewer responses than with a white sounding name, even if the resume is the same. That's a privilege which you refuse to acknowledge. It doesn't mean you can't be a poor drug addicted ex-coal miner.
Yeah I don't buy this for a second. US agencies are known to violate constitutional rights on a regular basis, usually without any repercussions. Yet in this scenario, where there doesn't even seem to be much innocent bycatch they're Doing It By The Books?
I don't want delivery, I want to order online and pick up my goods already in a bag.

I have been using this heavily because we moved during the pandemic, and IKEA only offered such a pick up service (called "Click&Collect" in Germany). A supermarket here also offers such a service. It is extremely convenient and time-saving. Previously, a trip to IKEA usually took an entire afternoon, which is tiring especially if you have children. With "Click&Collect", you spend 30-60 minutes on your couch, reading product reviews, and you can directly measure whether some piece of furniture fits into your apartment. Pickup then usually took 5-10 minutes, everything is already on carts, you just have to load it into your car.
Not in my experience. In fact one in particular would have been more suitable for the furnace.
Bad as in not-smooth or bad as in pot holes? I hope not the latter, because that's dangerous no matter the type of bike, and I haven't heard/read many people complain about the former.
