I'm curious why you put in the effort to apply to several places and passed up on all the offers.
You can't get an H1B visa for general labor.
This feature might help a lot of businesses that struggle in the search results. This will help them get the SEO performance that they deserve.
The idea that one's career must bring personal and spiritual fulfillment is one of the most damaging bits of propaganda fed to young people, I think.
What claim is it that you're making?

If the claim is that an increase in rocket launches will be detrimental to the environment and air quality I would agree.

The claim however that satellites re-entering the atmosphere will have a real impact on this is almost certainly false and isn't backed up by the article you linked.
From what I've read, US tax burden is pretty similar to Europe if you include health insurance costs, you just get less for it. Property prices are the main thing that seems much worse in Europe, but that doesn't have anything to do with taxes.

Donating my income is besides the point, as it's the top income brackets that really need to be taxed. I would and do happily vote for higher taxes on myself when the option is available.
Webb was born in 1906. Why beclown themselves like this? JWST already has a name, they can't undo that association, even if they change the name.
That's a brilliant analogy. It reminds me of something I've read in Scott Adams' book on habits. [0] In the days he was supposed to work out, he'd just put his shoes on and see what happened. That would lead him to the next action, until 99% of the times, he'd end up exercising.

I tried that but I couldn't tell if it was on :(
Muse Group could have taken a lesson from this with their (attempted?) addition of telemetry to Audacity. If the community feels a sense of ownership of the data that's being collected from said community, you'll probably receive less push back.
We can "choose to include them" until we discover that it is unviable to fund the necessary services and find out society is completely dysfunctional without them.

As expat returning to the US after 7 years, it's clear that US is headed in the wrong direction because it has made decades of poor choices, particularly w.r.t. taxation and long-term investments, and is sliding rapidly into dysfunction. And the confusion that has led to those poor choices seems pretty well-summarized in your first comment.
Dropbox's Engineering Career Framework
I remember when 4G coverage was new, I was out and about one day when I got a notification on my work phone that I had a zillion app updates pending and I just pressed "Install All". 10 minutes later it had chewed through my data quota for the month. Sometimes bandwidth just isn't all that useful.
I'd ask "whose oversight is avoided ?", and "whose isn't ?". You are supposing the Fed's deciding committees are acting fully independently (wittingly or not) within their mandate. AFAIK the process isn't exactly transparent, even ex post facto.

Similarly, we've seen last 12 years there's more than one way to skin a cat - issue "money" at the fed level - than just printing. They invented at least 3 mechanisms since.

That being said, it's not entire clear to me how current tokens/coins solve that conundrum without losing some major desirable/necessary "macro" features and flexibility.
What do you mean by 'this'? The paper talks about 7 different models of CDBC. To which does your comment relate?
The one thing I miss would be a somewhat more user friendly way to have file versioning along with a UI (doesn't have to be terribly user-friendly, my baseline is dropbox's interface)
Styra Extends Open Policy Agent Security to Public Clouds
That article is from November 2016. The conversations about privacy and personal information have evolved massively since then. Cambridge Analytica, Facebook's $5bn FTC fine, and TikTok's takeover of youth social media were all yet to happen.

This quoted bit below says it all:

"But when I poke through 10 years of Facebook, I see something else altogether. We’re not an oversharing generation. We’re a generation that’s over sharing — done, finished, kaput, through. … All the chatty candor and hyperactive disclosure of our early years on Facebook now look like just another kind of youthful indulgence."

All this means is that this person has 'aged out' of their FB phase. What about the hundreds of millions of younger people still on IG, Snap and TikTok?
(in re: "put heavy industry in space")

Bezos is theoretically right about all of this.

Apart from minor implementation details like the laws of thermodynamics, sure.
Very well explained.. its a really interesting idea.
Tether doesn't hold arbitrary crypto (except a small amount to pay transaction fees on the blockchain). They are just a window where you can exchange tether tokens on the blockchain for USD in a bank account. The exchange of tether tokens with other crypto is decentralized and handled by the participants.
Certain personality disorders become much more prevalent in certain jobs. CEOs are much more likely to be sociopaths than the general population, for example. Is it a stretch to assume that NPD might be similarly more common in high status positions?
I've been thinking of buying a home NAS and running Syncthing as a replacement for Dropbox/Google Drive. Does anyone have any recommendations? Synology comes up a lot, I might also just use a Raspberry Pi.
Sounds like a job for SSH certificates.

See e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20955465 ; https://goteleport.com/blog/ssh-certificates ; and the usual man pages
SF just needs to build up a bit and have connected walkways between each building that the homeless are not allowed into.

It’s effectively what we end up with.
You can fit FAR more signals on the bottom of a chip and in a multi-layer PCB than you can on any socket you might think of. There is a practical limit to how small the pitch of the pins on a socket can be if it's going to be field-replaceable; at high pin counts, the length of the socket itself becomes a driving factor.

As an example, even moving away from edge-connectors (which are just a non-starter for 800+ pins) Samtec's highest-density high-speed connector, the NovaRay line [0] advertises 224 signals per square inch, so an 800 pin module would require 4 square inches of connector space alone, not to mention making the system PCB assembly thicker and compromising on speed, power and thermals.

> Traditional electronic transaction systems today have high fees, limit access, and have not evolved fast enough to keep pace with the demand for online digital payments.

High fees:- How much do merchants/consumer pay today? I am not sure if transacting a digital currency is going to be free.

Limit access:- How does the current system limit access? As a merchant I can easily signup with thousands of payment providers.

Not evolved fast enough:- I agree with this but from where we were say 20 years ago I would say they have evolved a fair bit.
For NuGet, consider using centralized package references: https://github.com/NuGet/Home/wiki/Centrally-managing-NuGet-...

You get one file defining the set of all packages used in your repo (or some subset of your repo, etc.) and Dependabot will update this file directly. Individual projects can choose to use a package but won't specify the version.

It requires that your projects are all in sync with package versions but (1) that sounds like what you want (2) it's usually the best thing.
A false dichotomy that persists because typical US zoning encourages only those two outcomes: single family homes until the pressure bursts, leading to a high rise apartment some place.
I recently bought an Atari 800, and I have my eye out for an Atari 1040ST. I'd like to add one of the latter to my stable as well.

Beyond that, I've been tinkering a little bit (emphasis on "little") with building a home-built ad-hoc z-80 machine. By ad-hoc, I just mean, not specifically modeling after any well known design from back in the day. Just taking a z-80 CPU, attaching memory, etc., and trying to build something that can - at a minimum - blink some LED's in response to code I write. The plan (for now) is to write code and cross-compile from a PC and burn the code to an EEPROM which the z80 will boot from. Not sure I plan to go as far as implementing keyboard I/O, a display adapter, etc. Maybe. Time / focus will be the big factors.
BirdNet has been around for several years now, while Merlin just got sound-id recently. Merlin has coverage for about 450 birds of North America, while BirdNet can id around 1000 birds of N Am. and Europe.

With BirdNet you make a recording, highlight the interesting section of the sonogram, and upload that section to the BirdNet servers. With Merlin you start recording and the software ids birds in real time, popping up species as it goes.

My assumption is that, because it runs locally on the device, Merlin is going to be less accurate than whatever BirdNet is able to do on its beefy servers. But it is has the advantage of working without a data connection. Merlin can also id from photos and descriptions.

So the one isn't a replacement for the other. It's great to have options.
> "Misinformation" is protected speech

In that case, the bill would have no effect, since suspending Section 230 protections only has an effect if there is some other basis for liability, and if misinformation is protected speech, there could never be any underlying basis for liability under state or federal law for 230 to protect against.

But I don't think you are correct. Knowingly or recklessly false, harm-inducing speech can be a basis for liability notwithstanding the First Amendment (see, e.g., the whole law of defamation), so, even if no such basis for liability currently exists, I can quite easily see a narrowly crafted law on civil liability for harms from misinformation relating to a public health emergency surviving strict scrutiny, with a mental state requirement similar to the Times v. Sullivan actual malice standard (since the subject matter would inherently be a matter of public concern.)
How would they send data to your TV I’m just curious

I’m very amazed this thing existed back in the day when internet wasn’t a thing
If LPDDR is faster won’t desktops and gaming laptops also want it?

One possible other compromise could be soldered LPDDR RAM, but with a DIMM expansion slot for DDR as well. I wonder whether the DDR could be switched off and the baseline power draw eliminated if the RAM usage was below needing it.
The bottom line I have is choice and a bit of transparency. If I don't want to give you my data, I should be able to pay a reasonable, uninflated price. If I do, I should get the service based on the value of the data I provide. The second thing is that services need to be transparent with who they're brokering or selling data to, they need to be upfront about how that data will be used, and if they violate any of these conditions you should be able to flush your data.
Artificial Intelligence: Coming Soon to a Barnyard Near You
Same. Groups are the worst time sink.

Also, I have ~1000 facebook "friends" but I only follow 25 or so close friends who don't post too much (except my sister who posts too much). I don't find Facebook a time sync. I also only follow about 10 people on Instagram so not a time sync. I only check it once every 1-2 weeks.

I do tend to use Facebook on the desktop web browser with FB Purity installed and filtering all the worst of facebook's horrible time wasters like "so and so commented on X" and "so and so liked Y" etc.
After reading the poem, I agree that it's open to interpretation, but I also wonder whether the author of the linked article has really thought about what the poem means.

As far as I can tell, the poem seems to be about how icebergs exist in some majestic perpetual space of recurrence. The first stanza talks about how icebergs are impermanent, melt and eventually turn into rain ("Are you aware an iceberg takes repose / With you, and when it wakes may pasture on your snows?") but then the last stanza talks about how they perpetually arise again ("Like jewelry from a grave / It saves itself perpetually").

If anything, the poem seems like it would be perfect for referring to America's perpetual capacity to reinvent itself -- i.e., areas may fall into decay but then are rebuilt, much like urban Detroit is enjoying a revival -- not the more pessimistic take of the author of the piece.
They don't seem to be, from the paper.

> Some purport that a CBDC must be built on distributed ledger technology; this is putting the cart before the horse.

> Architecture 7 is proposed by some blockchain advocates; they suggest that a central bank issue digital currency on an existing blockchain system. This might be a smart contract platform like Ethereum or a permissioned blockchain like Facebook’s Diem. Under this type of architecture, a central bank could control issuance of the digital currency, but would give up all other control to the governance of the underlying blockchain. For example, the participants in the blockchain network might decide to reverse a transaction, as happened in Ethereum after one of its smart contracts, the DAO, was hacked. Ethereum developers, miners, and community members cooperated to reverse the hack and restore funds.15 It is extremely unlikely any central bank would want to put this level of control in the hands of blockchain operators. Blockchain networks are open and accessible and have high levels of innovation, though there has not necessarily been a concerted effort to add features to support financial inclusion.
In what way? It is certainly another step forward in terms of battery life, but it's incremental and doesn't fundamentally change how people use laptops. Don't really think it changes the market either. People with Macs will upgrade eventually and people that don't use Macs now are unlikely to change because of it.

Absence of Xeon with ECC support is a pity.
I have been using that feature for, I don't even remember how long, but definitely since it was marked beta or something. I am not a heavyweight like some other in this thread, but my current local state is 70GB and ~30k files, global state is ~50GB (I need to prune WhatsApp on phone again) and ~10k files. I am no biggie, but its not a slouch to keep all this working in 7 devices, with overlapping directories shared between them, across 2 timezones, over local and public network. Zero complaints is exactly my experience. Syncthing Just Works™
If you guys could just happen to make laptops that are relatively easy to put hackintosh onto, that would be awesome
> What the legion critics of Bezos and Blue Origin miss is that the company legitimately has the goal of ultimately saving planet Earth

Does it? I feel like we've seen tons of companies advertise lofty humanist goals, only to back away from them and declare "Actually we're a business and we serve our customers. It's not our job to save the world."
Are the Hacker News servers down when you're not on Hacker News?

There are an infinite number of these types of logically pendantic questions that are immensely uninteresting to think about.

My Samsung Galaxy S5 is waterproof, yet the back case pops right off by using a fingernail. Replaceable battery, too.
Currently running Syncthing on an RPi 4 NAS, in a docker container. Works great between RPi, laptop and desktop.

Haven't tried it while out-and-about, though that's not really my use case.

*RPi4 NAS has one external thumb drive for flash storage and two spinning rust drives, one for storage, one for backup; all connected via USB. Occasionally I have to plug-unplug the spinning rust drives if the system reboots, as the drives go to sleep.
Because then the Fed is exposing itself to the mess that is Ethereum (and honestly, blockchain tokens in general).

In order to produce a token on a given blockchain as a central government, you’re by implication saying that the blockchain itself is legitimate. In the case of Ethereum this would be disastrous.

As an example - What happens if people start putting this Fed-backed token into solidity contracts? You can’t wave it away from court and say “this is funny money and has no legal standing” if someone raises a dispute when you (the government) issued the token.

You likewise can’t start treating Ethereum contracts as legally valid because they are utterly unfit for that purpose for literally innumerable reasons.
Hi Daniel, congrats on the launch!

Is Sitenna US only? My FIL works on the telecom industry in South America doing location scouting for antennas, data centers, etc. He would really love something like this.
Ah, now I see what you mean. That is worrying. I hope that the rate of mild cases in vaccinated people is lower than the article would lead one to believe. I also hope the protection given is enough to avoid that kind of brain damage.
I think you're cherry picking a bit.

How much time do you spend on HN?

HN is a social network for folks who are interested in technology and general interest topics -- much like other social networks.

Do you think that people can use HN "responsibly"? The feed is algorithmic and designed to surface topics to elicit responses/engagement with the community.
I work out 3h/d, 365d/y — As soon as I go just a few minutes shorter, it invokes a slippery slope of contemplating to do even less the next day. In some way, doing more feels easier than less once you hit a certain plateau.
I don't feel like clicking on this... are they getting into the quantum hype game?
Probably a good reason for this. A lot of images of plants are in hands of humans (just checked PlantNET db) - i guess ML is modeled to ignore humans.
I spend way too much time reading HN and reddit. Most of the time I'm not even logged in, but I'm still pretty much addicted. I also don't really see any reason to treat these sorts of sites differently.
I'm not sure which is the main thing and which is the pleasant side effect but I have to imagine both considerations enter their minds.
Suburbia is made of families. People want big houses with big yards for their kids. They’re often not bringing their kids on those same vacations. And on top of that, where people vacation is very different from where they’d want to live long term.
I literally just read a great article about this problem yesterday. Sadly my memory is awful and I seem to have cleared my browser history from the last 7 days so I can not find it...

The gist of the article was you need to read books/watch tutorials to learn how to do the basics and how to string those basics together to build things more advanced. But you also need to build things on your own to internalize and progress on what you've learned.

If you spend all your time with books/tutorials you never get out of tutorial hell (this also includes any other method you are using to learn that is NOT building on your own). If on the other hand, you spend all your time just building on your own, you will 1. take longer to grasp and internalize the basics, and 2. spend way too much time reinventing the wheel.

So what to do? Divide your time between the two. Start with a book or tutorial. Follow it verbatim. Finish the project / task it is explaining. THEN delete your code, close the book/tutorial and try to rebuild the project/task. You will stumble. Try to figure out what you can't remember, google it. But only reference the book/tutorial for help when you have exhausted other means (like google, stack overflow, whatever). Use the book/tutorial to get past your sticking point, close it up and continue to on without it.

Eventually you will refinish the project / app, and you will have internalized what you learned from that tutorial's project.

NOW, build something on your own that is SIMILAR but a bit more complex than what you learned in the book/tutorial - add features, etc. Code what you can from what you've learned, google new concepts, and if you are really stuck on bits that were in the book/tutorial, go back to reference those pieces. You're learning new things, internalizing them, and proving you can implement them in custom ways.

I may have mis-paraphrased a bit from the article, but it's pretty close to : Use a book/tutorial to learn how to do the thing -> do the thing again without the book/tutorial -> go do a similar thing on your own.

It's similar to the "Google 'How do I build a website in [X language'" but more structured.

If i can remember the article, I will circle back to add the link
Then make the CPU+RAM user-replaceable.

“Navigating the internet” is dead. The majority of users are swiping at 5 second videos between 5 major platforms. The rest of the web is weird tabloids and abandoned blog spots. Try looking up a recipe and tell me you don’t get plagued with ads like you’re on XVideo.
I loved "Atomic Habits" but the most useful framework I found for "doing a little" is from the "Elastic Habits" book https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/48905847

Basic Idea --

1. Have 3 options as well as 3 levels for each habit/task/project

2. The lowest (Mini) level should be something you can do on practically any day, no matter how bad things are.

3. Do the level you are comfortable with on any given day

Example (For a health habit)

Mini level: 1 pushup OR 10 steps walking OR One glass of water

Second level (forgot what he called it) : 5 pushups OR 500 steps walking OR 3 glasses of water

Pro level : 20 pushups OR 2000 steps OR 8 glasses of water.

Set the numbers that seem like no-brainers to you. This tends to work extremely well in my experience and accounts for varying environmental, psychological and physiological conditions.

The book has a points system etc which I did not find useful but is otherwise a very good complement to "Atomic Habits"
Find a company that when asked if their goal is “saving planet earth” they respond “no” - very few!

Maybe Sherwin Williams with their slogan?

Even Exxon Mobile will say the same. You have to look at the details and what they actually do.
Is that much different than the current system, where the Fed gives the money to the primary dealers (big banks) who then do with it whatever they wish?
Syncthing for desktops / servers "Just works". I've used it between an AWS instance and my home network for years. Highly recommended.

I finally got rid of it because of the awful mobile experience, but frankly I shouldn't have been counting on that anyway.
This is partially why I trained my TikTok to be a nature channel, the other part obviously being a desire for exploraion.
I would buy this yesterday if you could make a Ryzen 7 version. I'm not buying Intel shit any longer.
> One consideration could be that you can't directly control data ingress.

Are you thinking UDP? Or for a DDOS? Connection setup overhead could be accounted for. I highly doubt this is the reason.
> I reckon if you got rid of that then people would care about taxes a lot less.

Which is precisely why the party that is ideologically opposed to taxes will never let that happen.
If Jeff Bezos claims to do anything for any reason other than his ego or net worth I will need to see it to believe it.
Is it true that while the battery itself is high tech and hard to engineer, the factory that makes a battery cell is no more complex than say a facemask factory, toilet paper factory, or any other mass produced goods factory?

There seem to be not too many steps (cut, coat and roll cell innards. Press can. Put innards into can. Add terminals).
California might need to limit the extent to which it:

- lets environmentalists file viable injunctions against logging on federal lands

- prohibits or greatly limits grazing
