I actually use my Pinephone as a weekend phone. Matrix works, so I have messaging. Calls work, so I have a phone. Maps (not turn-by-turn) work, Firefox works, the camera is slow, but works.

Respectfully, your experience sounds like what I had between when I got my Pinephone and last month (or so). It has since improved for me quite dramatically.

> I bet it’s next to impossible to prove copyright in this case. You would need to track down every last contributor and create a legally valid authorship evidence that is recognized under German legal doctrine.

I don't see why they would need every last contributor. They only would need the contributors of the specific code that they allege was copied. That Stockfish contains other code by other contributors that may or may not have been copied would not be relevant.
I very frequently run into namespace collisions like that. I think they are quite common in large codebases.

I am aware of the ability to do eg "import TensorFlow; model = TensorFlow.model; TensorFlow.fit(model,data)"

As I mentioned previously, I find Python's OOP "model.fit" syntax to be better, for a variety of reasons.

Thank you for your engagement. Have a nice day.
I'm exploring Amazon FBA. Is not a success story because I'm still in the midst of it, but from what I'm seeing it is something that I can learn, my tech salary allows me to save for some capital and try that business.

Before this I explored day trading, which also has the potential to create money on the side. It does take a lot of training and risks...

Another option which I've done too is taking contracts, configure a server, update a website, etc.

Good luck!
This makes a little sad, but only a little. I honestly do not remember when I last accessed an FTP server from a browser.

I do use FTP every now and then, but I do so from the command line or file manager like mc (or far manager when I am on Windows). Even there, it has been declining steadily, though, because ssh/sftp works pretty well as a drop-in replacement, unless one of the endpoints is so low-end the encryption becomes a throughput bottleneck. But it's been many years since I've had that problem.
On the other hand, for those who go out of their way to be nice to service workers, it's fun.
I agree. I think my only issue was with the starving from a broken leg and liveable amount stuff. Companies are always trying to squeeze more hours or extra responsibility out of workers.
A random screw can have a huge difference. Just pull up McMaster-Carr and look up the hundreds of different types of fasteners that all have different properties that make them suitable in some cases or others. Someone has to choose the screw, and it's not necessarily a straightforward choice.

I think realistically it would come down to an increase of 30%. Most of the time, only a small amount of tips show up in taxes and now that it's part of the pay, the employer will also have to pay taxes on the increase.
The article says about 5% of workers quit each month. If you raise pay by 20% - then maybe this goes down to 3%? I'm not sure - it obviously doesn't eliminate the problem entirely and either creates the problem of having to raise prices or get by with less staff.

I think people on HN may be forgetting the restaurant industry does not have the same margins as tech ... and close to no one working these jobs (on the employee side) is ever hoping to stay there for decades.
>That’s not true at all. By far most gains were captured by the wealthy:

The problem with that analysis is that it implies a 1%/1% growth (for rich/poor respectively) is preferable to a 2%/6% growth.
It is as a behavioral habit.

People always need to eat.

It’s not fiscally viable closed system. Restaurants operate on tiny margins and come and go as frequently as software startups.

We keep trying to hitch biological necessity to ridiculous memes of social capital accumulation, inventing more abstract and Byzantine math as if literal reality will implode if the rich can’t earn a profit.

Like healthcare, the routine is eating is obviously necessary. Is the industrialization?
Exactly, that's my point. If we prioritized things differently and afforded more people the space to be creative, perhaps we would be more advanced as a civilization.
The blog post itself explains it's existence:

"the following question comes up a lot:

“So… do you use Kubernetes?”

This has been asked by current and potential customers, by developers interested in our platform, and by candidates interviewing for roles at Ably. We have even had interesting candidates walk away from job offers citing the fact that we don’t use Kubernetes as the reason!"

Why do you think this is an "edgy blog post"? This is a piece of Marketing, both recruitment and regular. The implied subtext of the post is: "we don't use Kubernetes but its not because we don't know what we are doing".

Separately, what does having studied distributed systems or not have to do with Kubernetes?
Likely it is Windows Defender. Someone recently post the issue tracker for this particular issue and some are pointing at Defender as the cause of the I/O performance.

As a daily windows user, I'm not surprised if it is Defender. I have some files and folders in exclusion list because Defender was interfering with those files that the software is trying to use.

Everything from buying products to reading news to making life’s decisions is framed by how others rate and think about such things.

But the only reliable ratings would seem to come from a small town whose residents perfectly mirror the demographics of the larger population, and where every resident rates the same things and does so honestly.

This article goes over some classic numeric ratings systems and ends on the note that only machine learning can actually ensure a reliable ratings system.

"A lot of sex workers overtly reinforce social behaviors towards women (sexualization and objectification among other things) in order to appeal to men, which hurts them in the long run."

Um, blaming the victim much? Those men have full agency not to be psychotic jerks towards them. No one is forcing them to abuse, harass, and/or threaten sex workers.

But I agree sex workers are being groomed and subsequently exploited by sites like onlyfans with unrealistic promises of quick money for relatively little work. But so are tech workers by sites like this and other VC funds, so should we ban venture capital too? It's once again the inclusion of sex that makes sex work distinct, no?

I wish we had a society that provided better preparation and opportunity to everyone, but we don't right now, and sex work beats living on the street or getting stuck in an abusive household IMO.

"I almost see it as drug dealing, with the drug being intimacy and attention, and by nature it is a transaction where the dealer always uses their own supply."

Which is an entirely new subject wherein societies that experimented with total legalization got a better outcome than societies that hyperfocus on drug wars. Neither choice seems ideal, but one does appear to be unambiguously better given the available data.

If you're doing a bunch of I/O, it's often worth it to go into Windows Defender settings and turn off "real time protection" temporarily. It can make a big difference.

If you're asking "is this statement true but unprovable", then no, that would itself be a proof. It is possible to show that, within a particular set of mathematical rules, some statements are "either true or false, but we'll never be able to prove which." An example is the parallel postulate ("parallel lines neither converge nor diverge at infinity") [0]. This is impossible to either prove or disprove in Euclidian geometry, and has to be taken as a given truth.

Interestingly, showing a statement is unprovable implies that you can postulate either way (true or false) and still have a self-consistent mathematical structure. (If you assumed one way, and ran into an inconsistency, then that would be a proof the assumption is false and the opposite choice is true.) So if you assume the parallel postulate is true you get Euclidean geometry. If you assume false you get a non-Euclidean geometry such as Elliptic, Spherical, or Hyperbolic (depending on what additional postulates you choose).

Then maybe restaurants aren't a viable business?

I know it sounds crazy because we've had them for so long, but maybe it's not sustainable to have so many of them?

In any case, this seems like a great area to let the market figure it out. If restaurants go out of business the owners and employees will find something else to do.
Windows' slow performance when dealing with millions of tiny files per hour (e.g. <50 KB) and inability to offer fine-grain IO throttling for processes was why we moved from Windows to Linux in a previous career. Linux handles this scenario in its stride, Windows chokes (and, no, "background" IO priority on Windows isn't a solution).

Simply moving from files to a DBMS wasn't an option, since the whole point of this edge system was to allow third parties to FTP/SFTP/FTPS/etc in and out, to put/get files. We would have had to re-implement multiple transfer technologies/protocols to have a file-less database system (which didn't make cost-effective sense).
So now I'm even more confused at why user are complaining. Ftp still works everywhere.
Maybe there is not enough houses in that area to spread the cost of that one wireless tech hosting tower?

A single satellite from a swarm will cover much bigger area at any one time, not to mention the coverage area moves as it orbits.

Much better argument for paying infrastructure costs if coverage area is effectively "humankind".

Perhaps this is true. I suspect there's a strong preference to convert low margin buyers to high margin buyers, though. And as a high margin buyer it doesn't sit well with me knowing Tesla is subsidizing free HW upgrades out of my purchase price so it just feels like moving the problem around not actually solving it. That was my point, really. The money has to come from somewhere it seems Tesla wasn't as tactical as they could have been when considering the optics here. And the good thing is it's not hard to change and they have demonstrated history of correcting for price fluctuations in FSD costs, so there's fair hope they'll address any perceived gaps. Personally I think a 6 mo minimum subscription term or a "you get 6 months free with purchase of the hardware" promotion would be a great middle ground that lets purchasers attach long enough to fund the upgrade naturally.

Even then, IIRC CC0 is not that easy to apply to code (even CC do not recommend it for that: https://creativecommons.org/faq/#can-i-apply-a-creative-comm... ), WTFPL is entirely untested (even more so than GPL/MIT which are also not entirely tested in courts) and some regions do not recognize public domain. For example sqlite sells a license for what is public domain code partially for the reason of "You are using SQLite in a jurisdiction that does not recognize the public domain" and "You are using SQLite in a jurisdiction that does not recognize the right of authors to dedicate their work to the public domain".

Also, when it comes to code dedicated to public domain it is good to consider what wikipedia says about implied warranty: "The licensing process also allows authors, particularly software authors, the opportunity to explicitly deny any implied warranty that might give someone a basis for legal action against them." It is always good to include a clause saying that there is no warranty, implied or otherwise (unless of course you provide a warranty, which you probably should not do without restrictions on OSS code).

I don't think it quite works that way: the license is really just an agreement between the user and the rights holder that they will not sue for infringement. So use without license really means "you may expect to be sued". The outcome of that suit would determine whether or not you "need to license to use code". I'm guessing there have been many cases where the copyright owners for some code sued someone for using it and won.

I want a mesh of satellites around the earth. I’m a normal guy who’s has wanted that before anyone was doing it. I don’t think I was brain washed by the billionaire sat mesh propaganda, probably because it doesn’t exist. Huh.

I don’t think your position is very strong. Your team isn’t very large. The vast majority of people live in super light polluted areas, light pollution that takes a way bigger bite out of the night sky than sats ever will. And they don’t seem to care. Plus you have the fact that this emerging space industry, the only part of which you seem to be able to appreciate is low earth orbit, will bring people closer to space than ever before. So who are you to deny space and astronomy enthusiasts of the future the opportunity to actually be in space and experience the stars from there?

For real. Minimal changes to the night sky especially for people (majority) who aren’t into space. Revolution in prices that cascades to space telescopes and actual space tourism and multi planetary society. have you lost your mind?

The end goal of mindfulness is to make you realize that you don't exist, and to make you realize you don't have free will, and there is no you. While it's all true, it's not a good place to leave someone without a next step. It can be useful to make people realize that their thoughts aren't their own, which can help with anxiety. Maybe it can also lead to meltdowns like the one in this article if you continue the practice long past "I don't exist and I have no free will."

My dad used to be a security guard at the Cleveland Museum of Art. What's funny is that often guests would ask him and the other guards about specific pieces or artists as if he was a subject matter expert (although he has always been an art enthusiast, he doesn't have a professional art background). Eventually, he started doing his own background reading, because he really enjoyed these conversations.

After years of viewing exhibits (both permanent and temporary), many on the non-curator staff do end up with a substantially deep view of the art that they protect. This exhibit should be really fascinating.

Eh, how is variable pricing a source of profit for the restaurateur? Their profit is calculated on a fixed price. Also from what I’ve observed in the US, everyone is morally obligated to pay a tip… Rich people may go above and beyond the average (citation needed) but having tips arguably does not raise demand from more modest people, since they are still expected to pay base price + tip. There is no real price segmentation at play as far as I can tell…

Modest people also eat out in Europe or in Japan, where morally mandatory tipping does not exist, so there is that.

Right but realize how much of a marginal gain we're fighting for here. You can already do this with a separate window and some extra clicking and typing. Saving a little clicking and typing isn't a huge win, unless you're also willing to argue the most valuable work a SWE does is the clicking and typing.

This whole thing feels ultimately like a PR spot that we're all tripping over ourselves to participate with. Its the SWE equivalent of getting all excited about how self-driving is just around the corner TM. It's a premature waste of energy until real advancements are made.
You should probably report this as a data breach, since meter data sounds like personal data, and FTP isn't encrypted.

Great work! I work in financial services and built a similar tool for sentiment analysis and topic modelling on transcribed earnings calls. The idea was to identify topics at a speaker-level (analyst, management, etc.) and evaluate the sentiment around that topic. For example, perhaps "foreign exchange" was discussed negatively by a given company in an earnings call, which would alert the analyst to review that call in greater detail.

Are you guys thinking about incorporating something like this into your product?
