Have you heard of the stoned ape theory?

Terence McKenna believed that psilocybin mushrooms were the "evolutionary catalyst" from which language, projective imagination, the arts, religion, philosophy, science, and all of human culture sprang. McKenna's hypothesis concerning the influence of psilocybin mushrooms on human evolution is known as "the 'stoned ape' theory."
If things are anything at all like they were when I was at Intel then it is an inability to handle risk. Wafer starts are expensive, masks are expensive, margins on this sort of processor are tight. Basically that adds up to nobody wanting to be "that guy" (and it is always a guy) who pushes through the idea that costs the company a few million dollars.

As a result, unless some customer both specifically asks for this, and commits to enough volume to insure that they will at least break even, they aren't going to risk it.

That’s really the whole idea behind BeyondCorp (Google’s model) and numerous other Software Defined Perimeter and Identity Aware Proxy architectures.

There is actually a pretty big shift in corporate networks going on right now, originally driven by IaaS and SaaS adoption (if your applications and data don’t live in your own data center, what is your ‘private network’ doing for you?). This change has been massively accelerated by WFH/COVID in the past 18 months.
I find I'm competitive with myself rather than trying to do better than others, consistently trying to be better than I was. I think it's partly as I have stretching goals I want to achieve in life, partly because I didn't have much growing up, and deep down I recognise it's probably seeking validation.
Although I'm familiar with your point, I literally just searched for the term you mentioned, navigated all the way to page 6 and every single result was specifically for Reservoir Cats proper, none of them even mentioned Reservoir Dogs in the title, only in the description for some of them.
It can depend a bit on where you live. Working for a FAANG in the US can pay very well.
Every company with even an ounce of asset has at least some part of it lying in real estate. Corporate real estate is going to be the biggest loser if WFH becomes the norm post-covid.

In other words, it's in almost every corporate's best interest to push people towards offices.

Add to this the fact that they get to lobby politicians many of whom invest heavily in real estate.

Do not be surprised if governments create tax hurdles for companies operating remotely.
I created a crypto price alert app. Apple rejected it for nonsense
So I'm someone who created an iOS app that tells you whenever either bitcoin or ethereum moves x% up or down.

I made this app because I would check prices too often and knew others would want this app too.

There are no in app purchases, or ads. I think this is why Apple really rejected it. They don't like the fact that I'm not trying to charge, just providing a free app for the masses in my spare time.

The app requires users to use the 'Sign in with Apple' sign in method, so that I can associate price move alerts with accounts.

They are rejecting my app because it also shows real-time prices of crypto assets. They say I need to move these price checks to be before the sign-in prompt.

I can do this, but the whole episode just irked me the wrong way. What's their freaking problem? Coinbase makes you sign in before showing you crypto prices, so why am I being singled out? Or do you just reject new apps for no reason because you have to show you're doing something?

I try to see the best in Apple, I really do. I've shipped 15 iOS apps for them, but they irritate the hell out of me.
Have you thought about finding more social hobbies like swing dancing, yoga or joining a sports rec league that will allow you to make friends outside of the workplace?
Odd. When I try that search[1] I'm seeing good results. There's a onebox telling me how thick a suit I need for different temperatures, followed by a bunch of articles on the topic.

Does antitrust law practically exist anymore? It doesn't seem like the political will exists for it the way it did back in the 90's with Microsoft.
I was a Duolingo launch user, when revenue was driven by crowdsourced translations. I used Duolingo to learn basic phrases in some languages over many years, but I had to stop using the app. There were too many basic mistakes in grammar and vocabulary. Duolingo innovated by bringing a structured language course with spaced repetition to mobile early in the previous decade. It seems they will need another burst of innovation, this time in novel language apprehension techniques, in order to stay relevant beyond this initial public offering.

Luis von Ahn and Severin Hacker brought language learning to the global, mobile masses. I hope they will succeed again in the next phase of language technology.
HN makes it seem like the majority is die hard work from home, but I guarantee you that you are by far the minority.

Remote work is not for everyone, it has its pros and cons. One of the biggest cons is isolation.

For a lot of people, the work place is an incredibly social place, and when you rely on that for your socializing (which is 100% okay!) then the impact of forced WFH very often leads to isolation and slight depression.

I personally prefer a mix, and believe you should use each for the strengths they have. Without a shadow of a doubt, casual collaboration is easier in person. Similarly, I’m far less disturbed at home.

At my current work, we’ve built up a work style where you decide yourself when you’re in and when you’re not. Notably though, this does mean that everything needs to assume everyone is fully remote for it to work well though.
A while back, I wrote a Bayesian version of git bisect which -at least in theory - means you can fully automatically find your regression even if the bug is a nondeterministic one (intermittent): https://github.com/ealdwulf/bbchop

Never actually used it in anger though. Unlikely to work in half an hour either. But you could leave a machine churning away and eventually get an answer.
I would be very interested in your app. My Coinbase account doesn’t seem to give me this functionality, and I would really love to kind of get alerts when things start to move up or down.

As I understand the App Store, even though your app is completely free and you’re doing it out of the goodness of your heart, you still have to pay that fee, correct?
I live in Norway and don’t have this problem now. I had a similar problem about a year ago on my MacBook Air because of some software that altered my Google results in all of my browsers. Don’t remember the name of it, but something smelled fishy when the results was different from the ones on my phone.
Lamborghinis are expensive too, but you don’t hear about people doing those things to afford them. I wonder if cost isn’t the only factor.
Is this a generational thing or an introvert vs extravert thing?
I'm doing native Android development. My salary alone is well above the median household income for the most expensive district. If I had qualified for a couple of remote jobs I interviewed for, a single person salary would be well within the top 5% of household income.

It may not be the highest, but it is a good amount of money.

Native iOS development pays a little better, though.

Beavers are extremely important parts of their ecosystems. Their dam building behavior is depended upon by many other actors within the ecosystem. They're a keystone species.

For his usecase of funky i use ~/.bash_aliases, that way i can easily share them between machines. Eg to quickly add a new one: alias als="nvim $HOME/.bash_aliases && source $HOME/.bash_aliases"

Be careful with quoting though, got myself into a situation where every new terminal asked for the root password. Shellcheck found the reason quickly.

(edit) Another benefit is that those aliases abstract over differences of invocation on different distros. Here are some examples:

# PACKAGE MANAGEMENT

alias pcl="sudo zypper cc && sudo zypper purge-kernels"

alias pin="sudo zypper install -y"

alias pla="zypper search"

alias pli="zypper packages --installed-only | rg "

alias plu="zypper list-updates && zypper list-patches"

alias pre="sudo zypper remove"

alias pup="far too long" # upgrade all packages and ask for confirmation

alias pups="far too long + shutdown" # upgrade all packages without confirmation && shut down

# QUICK EDITS

alias als="nvim ~/.alias && source ~/.alias"

alias brc="nvim ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc"

alias egr="sudo nvim /etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub"

alias fst="sudo nvim /etc/fstab"

alias pro="nvim ~/.profile && source ~/.profile"

# QUICK MOVEMENTS

alias ..="cd .."

alias ...="cd ../.."

alias ....="cd ../../.."

alias sc="shellcheck"

# SYSTEMD

alias sden="sudo systemctl enable --now"

alias sdls="sudo systemctl --type=service"

alias sds="sudo systemctl start"

# VIM

alias nrc="cd ~/.config/nvim/ && nvim init.lua"

alias nv="nvim"

alias scratch="nvim scratch.txt"
Yes. I pay $100 a year. I do have 14 other apps, that generate me about $2.5k a month in profit, which covers the $100 yearly fee for me.

I'm super happy to hear you're interested in this app! I hope to get the word out on it. I couldn't think of a way to charge people while being fair, so I decided not to charge at all.

If it gets approved (hopefully eventually) it will be called 'BitAlert'. Feel free to email me at alirsgp@gmail.com if you want me to email you upon app release
You are missing a vital information. 152 death in how many vaccinations?

44,694,799 total doses administered, if all of these were two shots than that would be over 22,000,000 people.

What is the death rate of 22,000,000 infected people without vaccination?
So if an employee decides not to get vaccinated, does that mean they don’t have to work from the office? I don’t see what happens if you refuse the vaccination; perhaps I missed that in one of the announcements. Is there a point where the company is going to say you must return to the office, but you must get vaccinated first, and you saying no I don’t want to get vaccinated. What happens next? Termination? Work from home?
I thought Wim Hof.

Ultimately, it's not entirely intrinsic, it depends on extrinsic factors as well.

When someone is intensely fearful, and interacting with someone else, they're susceptible to spiraling feedback loops and misunderstandings.
There's a book on this, "There Goes the Gayborhood". There's also a New York Times article with the same title. The New York Times had an article "Gay Enclaves Face Prospect of Being Passé.” back in 2007.[1] It's not just SF. It's Greenwich Village, West Hollywood, Boystown in Chicago...

Time moves on, and with it, so do subcultures. Hippies and punks have faded away or merged into the mainstream. Now it's the turn of gay culture.

Next, Chinatowns, which are stuck in the past of a China that no longer exists. There are modern Chinatowns, such as Cupertino, much more integrated into both mainstream America and mainstream China.

They have tools for migration and the replacement actually cover the full feature set.

Unlike Google.
I have my 2 m constantly scanning the repeaters that I can pick up in my area, and there’s just never anyone on there. Unless it’s a weekly Net, I don’t find people talking much on ham radio. I live in a mid western state outside of a major city, so maybe this is not the norm but it is for me?

I used to live near Casa Bonita. If it wasn't for South Park, I probably never would have visited it, but we did and the novelty of it being like the show was pretty fun. I still have a magnet I bought in the gift shop on my fridge.
Ahh thank you so much!
I don't recall whether or not it's the default, but Bitlocker can do this on domain-joined machines-- they get automatically backed up into Active Directory where they can be retrieved from the computer account's properties (or there's a tool in RSAT that can find them).
TypeScript New Version Features
“For failing to disclose their health status to partners before unprotected sex.”

I find it’s terrifying. I think if you don’t know that you have HIV and in advertently transmit it to a partner, you should not be held responsible. That’s a double edge sword I understand, but if you know you have HIV, and you knowingly transmit it to another individual without telling them, I think that is a criminal act.
Is there any website where I can get city populations listed in number of cars?

What your opinion about:

- Windows phone 8.1 and 10

I ask this, because some of those products rely on marketing. Because I think your reaction isn't really true.
> if the directory has many files or sub-directories, tree becomes much less helpful: you only see the last screen full of information as files scroll past you.

What? You can just pipe `tree` into `less`. The solution isn't to download Yet Another Binary that does this specific thing and doesn't come installed on most platforms.

I disagree. Intellectual merit is in the eyes of the beholder. Sometimes it is valuable to hear a view for the simple fact that it is held by a lot of people or it's influential. If a bunch of people hold a view that I despise, at the very least I'd like to have a sense of why. I have no desire to have my own opinion regurgitated back at me. And no, I'm not afraid of readers of the NY Times being swayed by "propaganda." NY Times readers as a whole have a pretty firmly set worldview. One Op-Ed won't make a damn bit of difference.
Mr. Rogers, the original Sesame Street, Zoom for me. My mom was a big PBS enthusiast. Didn't get to watch the "regular" TV, even the kids shows, until I was older, which was something of a problem as I could not relate to many of the things kids at school would talk about.

Ask HN: Is there a tech talent shortage going on?
It's clear in parts of Asia and Australia that there's a shortage of tech talent. Friends in UK have also reported it. Recruiters are getting pretty damn aggressive these last two months.

Is this the case in other countries as well? Is there a reason for it?
I doubt they are wrong. Patterns that have held true during my life continue to unravel into something new, less familiar, desirable.

The word will be a different kind of harmonious. May leave us in a very different place. I consider that outcome likely.

All that said, warnings for close to a decade, often same number, 12 years, give or take. Heard that 6 plus years ago.

I find it worrisome. There just is not a center of gravity on this. Nothing with mass that can make people move.

Think Apollo type project. We need it, yesterday and then some.
This is a very bad article. It just says that Numerator accounted and said it’s a 39-year-old Asian American woman earning a certain salary, but there’s absolutely nothing about methodology. It almost feels like sponsored content.

How do they know that? Where is the data coming from? What’s the sample size? And any academic study this would be basic questions
I wonder how often 42 and 1337 are used in passwords.
I’m also a heavy user of aliases and can’t see how I’d use funky. Behavior dependent on a current directory is rarely a good idea, and when it is, you can just create an explicit shell ./script
Also floating on your back is a great way to rest and regroup. One thing that could be challenging with it is that if the waves are too choppy or with strong wind, it may be hard to keep the face esp. nose clear of water, which could add to panic. This position also needs some light kicks to keep legs from sinking. Restoring the breathing rhythm is what lets one get some control over the situation.

I can both see it and "unsee" it. If I'm actively doing something and using my eyes for things I don't notice. But if I'm just sitting listening to music or whatever I can notice the "fuzz" and noise. In low light it's a very fine grain. In daylight it's a coarser pulsing of white and black.

I've always thought this was normal. I've asked a couple other people and they've said they see it too, :shrug:
Yes, although I'd go with the original (and simpler) Intel Hub Architecture concepts.

Interestingly enough you can do this on your own using the RISC-V architecture and FPGA's with high speed serial transceivers. So it isn't like you have to be a chip company to build something like it, it just means you're willing to spend way more to implement a RISC-V system than you technically "have" to :-).

Esden tweeted today (https://twitter.com/esden/status/1420498544960557062) they have Linux running on the ICE40UP5K which is pretty amazing. That FPGA only has a few LVDS pins so it would be challenging!
As much as I've enjoyed remote work, I can't help but wonder if it makes offshoring more attractive to companies based in western countries. If hiring locally is more expensive and offers no real benefit over offshoring, why keep doing it?

Remote work enabled me to live outside of a busy city I only lived in for employment opportunities, afford property as a result, gain back 10 hours of commuting time a week, spend less money on commuting and eating out. If the price of that is missing out on HR organised 'fun' that's fine - I can be at the bar with friends at 5:05pm anyway.

No chance I'm going back.
I mean, that just sounds like enterprise software.
Idle is pretty well defined. It's when you close the lid of the laptop or hit suspend. The CPU stops running entirely and ram is given some power to persist data.
This is what happens with xenophobia, nationalistic vaccines, politicization of vaccines with conspiracy theories, lack of international coordination, vaccinations optional, and slow/unequal vaccine deployment.
I've experienced this before. Also can't remember the details, ironically, but I remember talking with an interviewer about it and my mind just went blank. It's not simply stress. I shopped around for bodyguards, hired a lawyer, and made police reports.
Automating the installation and test, and then pointing `git bisect run script` at it is pretty damn awesome if you can automate it.
"Lye" is the same as caustic soda? I saw the word used several times up-thread.

In my lexicon, lye is made from wood-ash; the stuff I'm referring to comes as white pellets, and it's nasty stuff indeed - rubber gloves and goggles. I keep it because my drains tend to get blocked, and caustic works better than supermarket drain-cleaner.

I also keep a bottle of "Spirits of Salts", which is 30% HCl in water. It's better at removing scale than supermarket toilet cleaners.

I imagine a vigorous reaction would occur if I were ever to mix these two sustances.

Frankly, I don't like paying a premium for a proprietary product, when these simple chemicals just work better and go further.
It does take some time for a new employee to figure out how to visibly contribute. Whereas more established ones have gained trust and confidence, so that they are considered fully engaged even when remote.

I wonder if a good hybrid approach would be that managers with reports having less than a year or two tenure, along with those new reports, go in to the office every day. At the end of that time the worker can work remotely. When the manager no longer has new reports, that manager can work remotely.
I am not convinced that this is an Unidentified Flying Object, it does not seem to be an object but just some weird reflection.
You need Einstein's equation to have a "striking analogy".

You used Einstein's equation for v=0; the rest-mass/energy equivalence.

If you use Einstein's full equation, there is no "striking analogy."

Your definition of kinetic energy excludes photons, which have kinetic energy and momentum but no mass.
