> Iran is a ticking time bomb

I don't think so. Sure, its a dictatorship and flawed in many ways, but that doesn't mean the people are not happy.

Society will bear some amount of constant pressure, to a certain degree.

If that pressure progresses into a puncture, society will rupture.

So far, Iran doesn't seem to be in that situation.

Iran has been in its current state since 1979. That is 40 whole years. And we have not seen any major shifts in their society.

It looks stronger than ever, now that Iraq and Afghanistan (thanks to the trigger happy policy of America) are in the dumps, Iran is a strong and critical player.

Wow, I didn't really think about it from this perspective.
You are absolutely right!
This is an extremely noisy space.

Do you think the fact that you're not going to pay a margin to outsourcing firm, but instead employ the offshore developer directly, doesn't compensate for the additional hassle?
Someone mentioned a book called War of Art [1] here on Hacker News which I went out to buy and read.

The author, Steven Pressfield, describes it as some metaphorical "Muse" (God of Art) that helps inspire your imagination when you set aside some time to do work.

I loved that line of thinking since work can't happen if you don't show up. It motivated me, as indie dev that works from home, to make a concerted effort to show up ready code. Doing it consistently (whether or not it's a long time) will eventually lead to new and improved versions of software.

"This is the other secret that real artists know and wannabe writers don’t. When we sit down each day and do our work, power concentrates around us. The Muse takes note of our dedication. She approves. We have earned favor in her sight. When we sit down and work, we become like a magnetized rod that attracts iron filings. Ideas come. Insights accrete."

I hope they open it to consumers soon. I need a personal VDI to keep personal stuff off my work laptop. AWS workspaces is OK, but they seem to charge for the directory now, so it's kinda expensive
This is so ridiculous. Your parents have an obligation to you and you have none onto them? Why? They cared for you when you were helpless, in need. Why would you not be obligated to do the same?

A blanket honor thy father and mother is a great idea since without them you would not exist. Without their care you would be an orphan or a foster child and statistically way more likely to have a rough life and less of the success and happiness you enjoy today.

The article talks about children's "perceived entitlement" and it sounds like this. Woe to me if I make the sacrifices of a parent to have a child say this to me.
This is how the drink machines work at Five Guys. It's just the same carbonated water base with additives for each individual drink haha. (except you can't swap the subcomponents as in your example)

His complaint is that they do not allow sources of claims that contest the prevailing narrative (of some topics) and that this leads to a biased view of reality.
I work in IT now and would love to get out of VDI. Other stuff to do!
A few years ago my daughter was 3 and was going through a phase where she’d go up to any random stranger she met and ask “hello, what’s your name?” Talked to a lot of random people this way. Nobody can resist talking to an inquisitive 3 year old. I remember I was in an airport waiting for a flight to Boston and happened to talk to a guy who’s son just started college at the same college I had gone to. Which was surprising since it isn't very well known nor anywhere near Boston or where we were.

I was always torn whether the practice of a small child “talking to strangers” was dangerous but I couldn’t bring myself to discourage it.
Microsoft exec: “Summary of meeting with Steve Jobs"
1991 was 13 years after the recall during which Ford went out of its way to reinforce the fuel tank to mitigate further criticism. There was a legitimate and well documented problem with the original design of the Pinto, and no article about how it's fun to race them now is going to change that. Here's an NHTSA report:
https://www.autosafety.org/wp-content/uploads/import/ODIPint...

"In nine staged collision tests of 1971-1976 Pinto 2-door sedans and 3-door runabouts impacted by 1971 Chevrolet Impalas at closing speeds of 30 and 35 miles per hour, two tests resulted in fires. In all of the remaining seven tests, fuel tank damage occurred with fuel leakage rates ranging from 6 to 700 ounces per minute, with an average rate in excess of 240 ounces per minute."

Does having two out of nine low speed collisions result in fire seem normal? Does having nine out of nine low speed collisions result in significant enough damage to the fuel tank to cause gasoline leakage seem normal? I would certainly hope not.

The original Pinto design was flawed and dangerous, unnecessarily killed people, and Ford was rightfully and successfully sued for releasing it.

P.S. That Rutgers PDF in your citation is about the myth of the Ford Pinto legal case, which is that whole thing about how Ford allegedly calculated that it would cost less to settle on wrongful death lawsuits than to fix their cars, not about the safety of the Pinto. The link in the article is broken but you can find it here:

This place mostly posts the same shit over and over again. I'm surprised he kept up with it as long as he did.
> To be fair, kids don’t care about cheap plastic, and they love flashing lights and sounds.

People love all kinds shit that is objectively bad for them... sugar, heroin, gambling, cryptocurrency.

The cheap adjective was unnecessary.

This is some weird bug. I tested it in chrome for android and it doesn't load successfully, but using firefox for android works fine. In the desktop both firefox and chrome works properly. It seems chrome is not consistent in their implementation on other platforms.
Normally, you need three items for the device to be a gambling device, chance, consideration, and reward. There must be payment for consideration to win, and you need a chance to win.

Since the device has controls for the rention percentage, that leans towards these are not gambling devices, since jurisdictions can differ. However, it is not exactly a skill device, either. There is an option to convert it to skill based, but I doubt an operator anywhere used that option. That is also why the manufacturer put the effort for that on the operator to install, so that it likely wouldn't get installed.
Right, but the modern CPU pretty much ignores that altogether and looks only at dependency chains to decide which and how many registers to use.
And until now at least, workspaces seemed nicer than Microsoft VDI. I presume this changes it. Look forward to testing
My kids did the same thing - turns out it let them understand what normal behaviour looks like. When someone offered one of them something weird and dangerous, they recognized that it wasn't normal.

> FAA Administrator Steve Dickson spoke with Musk on March 12 for 30 minutes to stress "the FAA’s role in protecting public safety by ensuring regulatory compliance....

If there are legit concerns that the FAA needs to be involved in, that's fine. But the fact that Dickson is personally involved is a sign he might be the kind of person that likes to flex on people. There's almost certainly no good reason for him to be personally involved.

If Dickson is just out to engage in a public pissing contest with Elon Musk, it's not hard to predict the outcome. Musk, in 2021, is not easily bullied.
Regular breaks are important when you work long hours - Use Workrave (Free, for Windows, Linux - https://workrave.org/ ) or TimeOut (Not free, for macOS - https://www.dejal.com/timeout/ ) on your computer for this. It does take some time and patience getting used to the regular interruptions, but it really helps. My shoulder, wrist and finger pain reduced greatly once I diligently took all the breaks. (That said, don't do this without first fixing the ergonomics issues, if any. And as others have pointed out, exercises also help.)
> Hmm, surely the oil industry has more and better lawyers and lobbyists?

True but the distribution of energy and the whole setup is entirely different as related to the issues I mentioned.

Regulations surely have held back updated nuclear tech, I agree, and some of this may have been inflicted by the older entrenched owners of the older tech, and their lawyers and captive politicians, at the expense of newer nuclear startups.

If I had to rank things I’d say that solar, although not viable everywhere, is my favorite.
One major problem with bureaucracy is that it will create issues to justify itself.

I'm sure there's no real problem, it's just the government getting some PR and potentially some money via some kind of license/permit fee.

Musk and SpaceX have no desire to hurt anyone, that would impact their plans.

At this point this country would greatly benefit from less government involvement in just about everything. /libertarian
Setting /usr/local's ownership to some unprivileged user is definitely weird root shit
A little bigger than V-2 :) . Kinda similar shape, but size...
I appreciate the explanation! I could've been clearer.
Paying somebody to write buggy code on purpose is a bit like pissing into the ocean.
Would probably just declare himself his own country. Just needs his own currency (wait, didn't he do that already?), own military (it's handy to own a fleet of ICBMs with better guidance systems than anything the U.S. has), and own energy infrastructure.
Humble opinions aside, if your parents live in one of 26 U.S. states, then yes you do owe your parents what amounts to basic needs at minimum [1]. Even if you and your parents are in agreement that you owe each other nothing, about half of U.S. states disagree, and they have the legal mechanisms in place to make you responsible for their needs, should they be impoverished.

I'm lucky enough to have a decent upbringing and get along with my parents as well, and this comment isn't intended to be combative, but the "You don't owe your parents anything for doing the job they signed up for" is not strictly true in a legal sense. This is a reflection of American family values enshrined in law.

In the arcade, you get exactly 0% of your money back. You may get a prize though.

It is the thing that makes it not gambling. In a casino, there is the risk of spending more than your disposable income, hoping to get your money back. In an arcade, you know that once the money is in the machine, it is gone, less chance to overspend. The main point of anti-gambling laws is to prevent addicts from ruining themselves, not to prevent you from spending some money to have fun at the casino, and not to save your disposable income.

The line is blurred when the prize has resale value, and in fact, a common way to disguise gambling is for the machine to give out prizes that the shop next door conveniently buys for a good price.
Not sure what OP is using for their photos, but Google Photos handles all of those mentioned features automatically for me. I’m sure there are other similar apps that do the same.
Yep, it's very similar to how chrome tab groups, thanks.
Good point, thanks.
And a useful thinking framework indeed.

Looking at the funnel, it looks like the problem is at the very top. Further conversions seem to be OK-ish - if you can draw any statistically significant conclusions from 6 total conversions of course.

IOW, I feel like it is mostly that they don't want the solution.

And yes - I'm hoping to have enough intellectual courage to seek the actual truth, not a comforting story.
Imagine the US doing this one day, after the rest of the world has made the tech and manufacturing. Sucks we can’t agree in politics this is a win.

I don't see why you couldn't use it as a premade rootfs. You actually don't need to use setup when changing hardware on Windows either. You can push extra drivers for the new hardware using DISM. I've used this method to move a disk to new hardware a few times.

I used to think Citrix had a lot of latency, when I was working remotely for a particular client, but then one day I went to the office and used the physical PC I'd been using remotely, and it turns out that Windows just sucks that hard. Sometimes it really does just take like half a second for a context menu to appear. Ghastly performance all around, and it was a hot rod of a PC, too.
What would be the non-racist thing to do?
That is a given, and most people don't rise to the top if they don't know how to delegate. What I am asking is about business courses in college for experienced professionals to get a firm grounding on running a multi-national corporate.
What is failure?

I personally am happy when I know I build something others treasure. It could be a handful of people, or many. Or it could be that I’m the only customer.

I can’t feasibly imagine working on something that long that _nobody_ cares about using, including me. I suppose it happens, but it really boggles my imagination.

Financially? A startup? Yes there’s absolutely survivorship bias. Supposedly 9/10 fail[1]. From mid stage startup I’ve seen/worked at there’s only the consistent theme of luck, access to capital, and persistence..

The aversion to mental health care in the older generations is really tiresome. My mom has pathological anxiety and probably depression, but has never gotten any sort of treatment for it. It radiates out and affects everyone around her.

And of course, since she didn't recognize mental illness in herself, she also couldn't see in her children. So we never got care that we needed and are various degrees of fucked up now. We were just force-fed religion instead. We're all atheists now, but those scars never heal, and I'll never forgive my parents for putting us through that.
I hadn't seen those before. Reading them now it's pretty clear that the writer does not much like "Hackernews" or the "webshits" that post here. It could very well be a healthy thing for them to move on rather than continue to suffer from it.

GP was asking whether it would be more performant to do via webgl though. (It's already known that canvas is currently used)

My bet is that webgl probably would be, but I'd also be curious to hear from someone with more info.

Seems to basically come down to whether canvas of webgl does a more efficient version of some kind of memory copy onto the GPU side.

There's nothing so intensive about it that it needs to be an Electron app either. It could just have easily been a cross-platform native app as well.

Yikes. Thanks for the clip.

Hmm. About 250 million vehicles in the is. If you assume maybe 100 million parked closely in lots during peak load times. Wonder what the average daily odds of a battery fire are.

This’ll probably be one of those things society will figure out, but I certainly never considered this aspect of electric cars.
There was a discussion of this in Nassim Taleb's Fooled by Randomness, where he was critiquing the "crucible experiences" chapter of Jim Collin's Good to Great.

Taleb's whole point was that this is an illusion caused by selection bias. Hard times don't create strong men. Hard times kill everyone who is weak. Hard times make everybody weaker, but they cause those who are weak to begin with to drop out of sample pool, leaving only those who were strong to begin with.

Jurisdiction is huge thing, not a side show.

Data that sits overseas is subject to entirely different sets of laws which can conflict with local laws.

Those laws also relate to espionage, and even outside the framework of legality ... it matters as well.

It's a lot easier for the NSA to collect data on individuals if it's hosted in the US.

I have absolutely no doubt that financial, legal and health records should simply not leave the local legal jurisdiction without consent and a few more things.
To be clear, most of the folks doing this sort of security research are probably worse programmers than your average senior dev, or at least not noticeably better.

It's a distinct skillset.

To whatever extent they might build software that's more secure than the average dev's, that really comes down to applying their security skills and toolset to their own software- thinking like an attacker- not any particular skill at software engineering.
I think he would compare favorably even to his contemporaries. There must've been thousands of people in naval intelligence, many of whose efforts were not notable enough to be remembered today, unlike Fleming's.
What did Christ say about eternal judgement?

John 12:47-49: "If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak."
I find what I do enjoyable and I've had a lot of fun roles, but if I woke up with time and money on my hands I wouldn't be writing productivity software / web apps, I'd love to work on race related software but I have no math background. My main passions are piano and racing.

You're right I may miss a great opportunity and probably have, but landing a job that satisfies me is a much more accessible option than being able to dedicate all of my time to an idea at the drop of a hat. As I get older and my life gears more towards family I will have less time and steam to do what I'm doing now. I'm sort of stuck for the time anyways so there couldn't be a better time to keep taking on risk and sacrificing a couple opportunities. If nothing pans out then no worries, at least I tried and will happily go back to working and still probably try something when I'm older anyways.

There is also the added benefit that what I am doing now will directly benefit my future career, so even if I fail, not all is lost.

>what is to say you cant work hard on something for someone else and be equally fulfilled?

I can and I have, I've worked for a lot of great people. I'm just not dying to go back to the career route, I'd rather keep doing my own thing while I still can and take on a contract here and there.

>all the most lucrative and fulfilling projects i have worked on, i was drafted into by others, not the other way around.

Someone had to draft you though right? ;)
UPDATE:

Thanks for your amazing feedback, everyone!
One more time I see how incredible Hacker News is.

Summarizing what I learned from your comments, there are 3 key hypotheses to check:

H1: We have overestimated the problem. Time-to-hire isn't really a big concern and companies in the US aren't experiencing any major issues with hiring engineers.

H2: We have overestimated our solution. The employer's aren't prepared to pay US-level salaries to offshore devs and/or are quite happy working with recruiters.

H3: We have chosen wrong marketing channels and/or ICP to target.

Probably the truth is a combination of all the above, but it is important to understand which cause is has the strongest impact.

Affordances are good, but they can't be the only consideration.

I agree, it's right next to an airport, so the FAA has jurisdiction over anything over 200 feet tall. What it's meant for is basically irrelevant, except the scenario where SpaceX lied to the FAA about what it is for.

Going to https://greenlight.jobs/ shows that it's invite only. No offense, but it smells like another of those BS landing pages where the product doesn't exist and just overpromises and then drops you on a "Sorry, this doesn't work yet" page.

There's no evidence that the people on the site are real. You'd expect it to have a sign up page for candidates. There's a "See the CVs" button on the employer link, but it's a link that tricks you into creating a job post. Ideally it should hint a little, like what Glassdoor or Quora does.
As far as I know, X.509 doesn't currently have such a concept, and web browsers don't have it either.

I'm not sure how this is adding anything to the conversation. My grandmother cannot tell the difference between SD and HDTV, let alone 4K/UHD, yet the difference is quite drastic to me and a higher resolution is certainly more realistic and immersive. Maintaining a visual experience that is as close to reality as possible is what sells the illusion. That's great that the bar is lower for you I guess, but not really helpful for literally the majority of the world.
