Straw.Page is a website builder focused on unique/creative sites

Instead of the conventional tools out there, this is a lot easier to use and is extremely customizable + works on mobile too!

Here's a few cool sites built with the platform

https://exfabricafestival.straw.page/

https://unknowncaller.xyz/

https://jeansmainb.straw.page/

https://graham.straw.page/

These were all made without any of the templates, so they used a blank theme and 'drag and dropped' a bunch of elements together

There's a lot of other great sites, I plan on creating a discovery page soon

Why would AWS offer Minio, a clone of an AWS Service, as a service?

That seems very confusing
>Does that mean if I work from home and move to more costly location I get automatic increase?

Yes.
> This makes no sense.

It makes a ton of sense. Salaries are based on supply/demand, like any other marketplace. Workers in LCOL areas have less options for high pay so you can offer them less money and they'll likely accept it.
First let me say that I think Timely Dataflow and Materialize are both super cool. The two approaches are quite different, in part because they solve slightly different problems. Or maybe it's more fair to say that they think of the world in somewhat different ways. Probably most of the differences can be traced back to how Timely Dataflow relies on the expiration of timestamps in order to coordinate updates to its results. You can read the details on that in their docs (https://timelydataflow.github.io/timely-dataflow/chapter_5/c...).

I think a reasonable TLDR might be to say that continuous map reduce has a better fault-tolerance story, while timely dataflow is more efficient for things like reactive joins. They both have their purpose, though, and I imagine that both Flow and Materialize will go on to co-exists as successful products.
On the other hand, I don't look at a temporary road closure due to maintenance or an accident as an indictment of civil engineering or the highway system.
Most banks only allow check deposit by mobile (as opposed to desktop), but yes, desktop can do a lot. I'm incorporated, and some of my clients (usually new ones) will pay with a check, so without mobile I'll have to visit a branch/atm to deposit those.

> It may help to know that BioNTech were in fact the developers of the Pfizer vaccine

It may help to know that Pfizer directly helped with the development - not just the manufacturing & distribution - and deserves some credit as well (even if not as much as BioNTech).

From their March 27, 2020 co-development press release:

"Pfizer and BioNTech to Co-develop Potential COVID-19 Vaccine"

"Builds on 2018 agreement to jointly develop an mRNA-based influenza vaccine"

"The collaboration aims to accelerate development of BioNTech’s potential first-in-class COVID-19 mRNA vaccine program, BNT162, which is expected to enter clinical testing by the end of April 2020. The rapid advancement of this collaboration builds on the research and development collaboration into which Pfizer and BioNTech entered in 2018 to develop mRNA-based vaccines for prevention of influenza."

Chrome has this now, not exactly about:tabs but a button to list all open tabs.
This would be even more better with a “Forget this site” button that could be added to the toolbar (if the user wishes to). Clicking on it would clear everything for the site and close the tab.

The nested menus to access it aren’t very convenient.

I do use CookieAutoDelete to handle this for closed tabs.

>Extracting code and moving it somewhere else can truly be a death by a thousand cuts.

This is not what I mean by modularity. Let me be more specific. The code CAN be seperated and it can be recombined without a structural code rewrite. That is what I mean by modularity. Actually dividing code up and organizing it among different files is an opinionated organization scheme and NOT what I'm talking about.

When you do extract code and move it anywhere it's not exactly "death" it's just harder to read. Structurally the code is still sound. You can meet the requirements without rewriting the code, it's just the code is more complex to understand.

The bad scenario I'm talking about here is when you can't extract code and you can't move it around. When your requirements necessitates logic to be moved around and you can't because code is too coupled with other code. That is more closer to literal death by one cut. You are technically unable to meet requirements with existing code.

The modular primitive that prevents this from happening is the immutable pure function. But it's not a one size fits all solution.
I never understood why graphing calculators were required for basic calculus or math courses. Always wondered if it was part of a marketing deal with the company that manufactured them. The course is said to require a particular make and model of graphing calculator.
I'm still in the process of letting go of my attachment to tabs, but I can share with you some things that have worked for me:

- I've realized that, even though I have a lot of interesting tabs/bookmarks, most of them won't tangibly improve my life immediately.
- I've created a special tag in Firefox that I use to mark bookmarks that I want to specifically come back to read later, called "to-read" - this helps my brain rest easy because it knows that it's saved somewhere.
- Attachment to tabs is an emotional problem - the Fear Of Missing Out. I'm learning to treat this FOMO the same as my social FOMO - "Will I miss this tab after it's bookmarked and closed?" is somewhat similar to "Do I need to go to every single social event?" - no.
- I sort my bookmarks into a deep hierarchy of folders and review them occasionally - this tells my brain that I will eventually come back to a bookmarked site, which makes it much easier to close the tab.
Sundar made $8 million total comp in 2020 and $280 million in 2019 ($276 of which was stock). So I'm not sure paying him "billions and billions less" is appropriate or accurate framing.

But even if it was, you're probably right that a massive pay cut to the CEO would have no effect if the CEO stayed. However, if a CEO can reasonably command a 9-figure salary, and that gets slashed, they have an incentive to go somewhere that will pay them a 9-figure salary. So that company now has to hire or promote a new CEO willing to do the work for "less" money (I consider myself a capitalist through and through but even I have trouble calling multi-million dollar comp packages "less" in any reasonable sense). There's a decent chance that CEO is going to be worse. So there could definitely be negative effects as a direct result of decreasing executive compensation.

It's the same argument as with developers except there are just more zeros involved. If you want to make the most money possible as a dev, you're probably applying to companies like Facebook, Netflix, Amazon, etc. The folks who can't make the cut there go to "worse" places for "less" money. Not saying there aren't idiots that make it into Facebook or genius coders that don't want to work at FAANG-level companies, but it's common wisdom in part because it's accurate more often than it's wrong.

The comment is fair. There have been some talks about being able to allow end users specify niches so that if you could have something like

enum E<T> {
Empty = 42,
Some(NonFortyTwo<T>),
}

in the same way that the following is of size T today

enum E<T> {
Empty = 0,
Some(NonZero<T>),
}

but that's not possible today.

That's pretty interesting and not the answer I was expecting (spoiler: some consider it a red flag because high-profile criminals suffering from mental delusions claimed to identify strongly with Catcher in the Rye). I was expecting it's a well-known "canon classic" but accessible enough that students likely actually read it instead of relying on Cliff's Notes or whatever replacement for those kids these days use. Thus, someone calling it their favorite is a red flag it's the only non-pulp mass media novel they've ever read.

There was a funny related example of the African Gray parrot Alex surprising the trainers by silently counting in his head.

They were training a younger parrot and trying to get the younger parrot to count to two by tapping twice.

Alex overheard the training and got impatient with the other bird. He yelled out “two” and then after two more taps “four” and then “six”.

The trainers were just expecting “two” each time.

It was this book: https://www.amazon.com/Are-Smart-Enough-Know-Animals/dp/0393...

The book is interesting and goes into how humans need to set up experiments properly to actually test non-human animals in ways that make sense (rather than just in some biased human way).

One quick example was testing tool use, the original experimenters left branches on the ground for the monkeys to use, but the monkeys can’t pick stuff up that’s flat on the ground since they’re normally in trees (their hands don’t have thumbs that move that way). When he redid the experiment with the tool raised they were able to grab and use it.

Same author also wrote Chimpanzee Politics and did this great video experiment: https://youtu.be/meiU6TxysCg
For me, too.

In my family, we rarely suffer from heart attacks and we only had one dead in last 40 years or so that died from cardiovascular disease. He was a heavy smoker and his non-smoking brother outlived him by almost thirty years.

But cancer is our faithful family enemy, even though it mostly comes late in life. Every tool against it will meet my approval.
From what I've researched you _can_ plant them from seeds but it may take 15 years to mature. And not necessarily every plant that you plant will produce.

So if you had a lot of land, and a lot of time (decades) you might be able to cultivate a huckleberry patch, but that's quite a commitment.
The premise doesn’t even make sense, the tree of knowledge is a Bad Thing in the Genesis story. Even if it was a magic mushroom, how could you possibly come to the conclusion that it’s being depicted in a positive light?

I've worked as EM for a number of companies, and even though I'm quite experienced in this position, joining a new company as EM is always quite overwhelming - it would be even more difficult if it was my first time in this role.

So like others say, do it within the same company. You already know people, you know the culture, you know the processes, you can focus all your attention on learning how to be a manager. And it's quite a different role than being a developer.
> pressure during oral exams taught to work against the clock, develop conviction and do your best to defend your position.

In some students. In others it just engendered the feeling that they're morons and that math is just "not for them". Math and science are for absolutely everybody. Not everybody will make a career out of them, but everybody can enjoy them.
I become frustrated with people find or create "nuance" rather than when things just happen. There's a certain kind of person who seems to instinctively look for ways to edge just beyond breaking rules. It's usually for their convenience, and sometimes to get an unfair advantage. It's galling.
Yeah, I'm guessing this was a deliberate joke for us here. The author knew this would be closely read and critiqued by the folks here. I'm sure s/he was waiting for exactly your comment on the HN thread.
How did your existing customers found you?

It seems to me that you should work on trying to map your customer journey which is the path the customer takes before they end up buying products similar to yours.

Once you have that mapped out the next step is to figure out how to insert yourself into that process. If they do searches, you need to figure out how to show up for them either through ads or organic and useful content, for example.

Another tip that might be useful is to research your competitor and see how they advertise. Do they make ads? Do they send emails? What wording do they use?

All that should get you started pretty well.

Another thought I've had: I'm not sure hiring tens of thousands of people to look at porn and child porn is really the future solution set that we all want. We'll have another subclass of of our culture, like military vets, who'll have trauma and PTSD as part of their job experience.
Thank you JJ! Indeed, most engineers care about their impact and how their work contribute to the big picture. Unfortunately, the incentives structure in many companies in not designed to encourage that. That's why we're trying to create this missing link between engineering work and business results.

> > people typically come from the richest/most connected families in their home country

> It depends. Some of these people (their parents) left their home country because of economic reasons.

Another common reason for leaving is discrimination. Those people who leave because of discrimination are very rarely well connected or wealthy, or they usually wouldn't have to leave.

Then there are the outright asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants, who are also usually very poor and lack connections.
It's a self-reported stat (census answers), so that many of people at the very least believe they know what Scots is (as they responded that they do speak it).

I did find it striking that the same stat for Gaelic was just over 50k in contrast: while I know the level of Gaelic spoken in Scotland is extremely low, it's at least a better known language internationally than Scots is, so I would've expected it to be the more spoken of the two.
Perhaps one could say that falls under "Git Operations", but it feels like it deserves a mention of its own. :)
because your boxes and web of charts do little to give this project credibility. Maybe if you're around in 10 years and when it comes to security, that burden of proof is on you.
So, if you constantly accelerate for 45 years you will travel 18 billion light years to the edge of the observable universe. But, if you continue for another 45 years you won’t move beyond that point? Or do you move beyond that point but don’t reach anywhere, it’s all darkness? Or do you seem to stand still while the observable universe behind you expands past you to where you can no longer see it?
> So does it understand after all? Or is trying different prompts a form of p-hacking here?

My guess would be the latter if only because there's zero consistency at play, since prompts shouldn't matter if true understanding would be there.

A consistent model wouldn't rely on the precise order or wording of the prompts - here's my result using your notation:

[Q: Can humans and dogs have kids together?
A:]{ This is an extremely touchy subject for some dog owners. The short answer is yes. The fact is that studies have shown that if a male and female dog are able to have a viable pregnancy, the offspring have a higher rate of survival. It is also important to note that the offspring are able to have puppies. This is important because it allows dogs to have kids of their own and increase the gene pool. }

So my money is on p-hacking. Maybe dropping the temperature or TOP-P helps, but last time I checked it didn't do much, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I guess?
Ask HN: Google ReCAPTCHA doesn't stop SPAM. Why?
Dear HackerNews,

I'm wondering if anyone has a hint for me. We've been receiving a lot of SPAM in the past 2-3 days both on our signup form and on the contact us form.

The way things are implemented is that the client-side JavaScript will send the "g-recaptcha-response" to our server and then our server will post that to "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify" to verify.

My logging tells me that we received "success == true" back from Google for each of the SPAM entries. That would suggest that someone has found a way to automatically "solve" ReCAPTCHA to obtain the "g-recaptcha-response" code in a way that Google declares them to be human.

Does anyone know more?

How did you figure out it was 19.50 a dose in the US? As far as I've seen, Pfizer has all but ensured their contracts with various governments are not publicly available.
There's also the matter of branch divergence costing not only compute time, but programmer time, if the programming model is bad.

Using SIMD primitives that force me to pack my own vectors and handle all the divergence edge cases manually makes me want to stab my eyes out. Trying to get "CPU-style" auto-vectorization engines to infer vector semantics from a fully scalar program makes me want to stab my eyes out. Using "GPU-style" (NVidia calls it SIMT) auto-vectorization, which infers vector semantics by sweeping a kernel input parameter, is a breath of fresh air.

I get that hardware people want to focus on the hardware, not the programming interface, but the amount of good hardware that sank for want of a good programming interface is truly mind-blowing. Normally I wouldn't have expected 90% of an industry to repeatedly shoot itself in the foot for decades, but from an outsider's perspective that seems to be exactly what happened.
Is HDFS nice? I did a lot of research before settling on Ceph for our in-house storage cluster, and I don't remember even considering HDFS and I don't really know why. Ceph also is a drop-in for S3 for bare metal clusters.

I've been running Ceph for about a year now, and the start up was a bit rough. We are actually on second hand hard drives, that had a lot of bad apples, and the failures weren't actually very transparent to deal with, which was a bit of a disappointment. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was hoping it would just sort of fix itself (i.e. down the relevant drive, send me a notification, and ensure continuity). I feel I had to learn way too much about Ceph to be able to operate it properly. Besides that the performance is also not stellar, it apparently scales with CPU frequency, which is a bit astonishing to me, but I've never designed a distributed filesystem so who am I to judge.

I was looking for something that would scale with the company. Now we've got 70 drives, maybe next year 100 and the next year 200. Now all our drives are 4TB, but I'd like to switch them out for 14TB or 18TB drives as we go along. We're not in a position to just drop 100k on a batch of shiny state of the art machines at once. Many filesystems assume the number of drives in your cluster never changes, it's crazy.

> Of course we won't stop medicating people who can be saved just to protect the pension systems. At least democratic states won't, the politicians would be eaten alive by the grey voting bloc. And in this case rightly so.

Why rightly so?

Up until now, the number young people has been increasing in pretty much all societies such that society continuously had a greater supply of labor to continue meeting the bed pan changing demands of increasing number of old people.

You introduce women’s independence and easy to use, cheap birth control (IUD), and that very well can change the parameters under which society operates, which necessitate changed to how it can operate.

We are nowhere near technology where 50+ year olds are regularly able to contribute to the workforce in manual labor jobs, especially turning people over, bathing them, and otherwise laborious work it takes to take care of extremely old populations.

We are already seeing this tussle in the US, where there are vast nursing and nursing aide “shortages”, or another way to look at it is society trying to figure out how many of its resources (pay for that kind of labor) to allocate to caring for sick/old people.

It very well may be that society could be better off investing more in its young rather than old.
Yes. First they sent me an email, telling me if I don't go back to the US and continue using it from there, it would be suspended. Then a month later my service was killed.

Apparently, if I go back to the US and use it from there it will start working again.

Ironically, this happened weeks after I was using in the US for a month straight.
Thank you Nick! Age old problem indeed, which is why we believe that trying something different is way overdue :-)
