May not be in line with its values, but it's certainly in line with keeping the Feds off their back. I'd personally dare Apple to kick out Google. Wasn't it partially that exact Damoclesian situation that got Google on the Apple platform in the first place?

Now don't misunderstand me. Google, along with FB, are probably the worst monopolies out there. But Apple pulls a stunt like that, I'm guessing the risk that the Feds would come at them would be extreme. No one's going to allow Apple to control search in addition to everything else, least of all the government.

One solution could be to force Apple to use to another provider? Bing maybe? But that has all the same privacy problems.

But the "Apple makes their own privacy protected search engine and it's default on every platform" option is a complete non-starter. Just about everyone in industry and government would demand action against that.
Maybe this will use something like Lynk communication's system https://techcrunch.com/2020/03/18/lynk-sends-the-first-text-...

>Last year Lynk — then called Ubiquitilink — showed that, from now on, every phone can be a satellite phone. But they’ve spent the last year honing the product and have just demonstrated the real thing: Sending a plain old text message from a “cell tower in space” to a normal phone on the surface.

The mini feels nearly indestructible. But more importantly, it’s a single purpose device with a dedicated battery.
You're not up to your elbows if somebody else has already done the work for you. If the input to your macro is a valid production in Rust, then all the parsing work that's incumbent on the macro author is to write

let ast = parse_macro_input!(input as Foo);

Where foo is some type defined by the `syn` crate and there's one for every production in Rust's grammar. But neither are you limited to those. You can also extend or replace that grammar as you see fit, but in that case the added parsing is on you.
You do realize at the very least the significant difference between "local" and "nearby"?
Ada intentionally prioritizes readability over write-ability, hence English-language keywords and the like. It’s designed for large, long-running systems that must be maintained over years or decades.

The thinking is that over their lifetime, such systems will be read more than written, by rotating teams of programmers who need to get up to speed with a complex codebase, repeatedly. In maintenance mode, modifications will be less frequent than reads.
(Since the original links are now clickable, I propose that it would be nice if HN made all links in self-text posts clickable by default. It seems like it might foster a healthier community, since it will feel less like it's a special privilege to have clickable links.)
it seems to me that a 1.3MB file is a perfectly reasonable size to include in a webpage, and much better than a regex for this purpose - a file containing numbers is maintainable without having to also maintain a test suite to ensure that your regex is still valid every time the company is assigned a new phone number.

maybe a server-side lookup would have been a little bit nicer than shipping the whole list to the client side, but a static client-side app can be stored in the CDN layer, doesn't require provisioning any server resources, and sidesteps any security concerns about servers processing user input.

it would have been nice if they'd cleaned up the user input before querying the dataset, but overall this looks like a clever solution to release a feature with the smallest risk and maintenance profile possible.
Could just be a typo or autocorrect. A spell checker with no grammar features will not catch this since both are words.
>>>> What do you want the "millions" to do instead? Pretend everyone is rational?

Perhaps yes, at least as a starting point until better evidence produces a replicable, actionable model.
Yes, higher exhaust temperature is not a direct indicator. For the same airflow, higher exhaust temperature suggests more energy being carried away, which can reduce chip temp, all else being the same. If the airflow was reduced, but the heat pipe improved, it could still be that chip temp stayed the same.
This is great.

One of our interns built something similar for warding off rabbits in his garden this summer (it triggers a bluetooth speaker to scare them off when it detects them): https://blog.roboflow.com/rabbit-deterrence-system/

He trained a custom model which would be a good next step if you need to detect something that's not in the list of pre-trained classes (or you're getting false positives/negatives with your camera/environment -- or at certain times of day/night).
Thank you, that's a much better expression of what bugs me about this than I was able to come up with. One of the things, anyway.
Ask HN: Share your web3/ crypto startup or project

I get the decision but I think it misses part of the problem: how do you convince people like your mum and dad to start paying for backups and how do you convince them to pay extra for privacy?

I suspect the way it usually happens is that somebody your parents trust (like you) tells them to sign up for a privacy-preserving backup service.

But who's going to tell them to do that? Do you have the money to pay for advertising?

Normally, I'd suspect it's the tech-savvy younger folks who'd tell them to buy something like this but with your pricing and lack of self-hosted options, I suspect you've alienated a large portion of the tech-savvy audience you need to advocate for your product.
> "Hot singles in your area" is a bit different than "Hot singles in your nearby area."

I wasn't using the word "area", though.

> The term "nearby universe" is perfectly fine, as far as the English language goes.

Not according to my language sensibility at the very least. Just like sibling comment's remark about "nearby house" when talking about the very house you're currently in.
It'll be low bandwidth of course. The starlink antenna size is just to give more bandwidth. Bigger antenna means less error correction which means more bandwidth for other things. Voice compressed can be intelligible at 300bps. You can do that with a smaller antenna and more error correction. Mobile Satellite phones are already similar in size to other phones.
In that case, shouldn't you reply with "my backlog is currently X weeks/month long, we'll probably get started around Y, I'll keep you updated" instead of saying nothing? Since the team wanted to do it and didn't mention that they had to do something before in the meeting, you can assume that they will get started on it right away. If not, at least tell it to the other team so they can explore their options.

The Difference Between Ghosting,Stringing Along, Breadcrumbing and Being Honest?
Agree. This might be planned for iPhone 14. And won’t have internet. Just low bandwidth apps. Like messaging and low quality phone calls. The only question is what will pricing look like. I’m betting free for emergency 🆘 and hourly for non emergency.
The latest version of (iPhone exclusive) Corning glass is quite a bit more durable than the Gorilla glass used in other devices.

>>I fee that the two parties in the United States have multiple separate issues

I suspect that is largely because the issues you care about happen to align with one single party. You primary seem to focus on what government can provide in way of social programs. Do you believe that is the sole role of government or even a proper role of government? To provide things for people?

If so it is not surprising you believe there is differences between the parties, because on the issue of social program there does seem to be (even though that is only surface level) a difference, democrats love to give out lots of free money to people they believe will continue to vote for them.

I am sure my opinions on those programs you will disagree with.

The problem here is that I do not believe those programs are put into place to help anyone, they are just another form of control. The uniparty wants control, they get that via fear, money, and division.

The apparent divide on "social programs" is an example of how the uniparty convinces people they are separate, when in reality they are both authoritarian driven by the desire to control people, not help them.

Edit:

BTW, Follow the money for your democrats... Look at the actual spending bills, look at where the Trillions of Dollars is going. Hint it is not the poor... sure a Few billion is for the headlines, but most of it is plain old corporate welfare just like Republicans do....
I know I didn't make a mistake, and it didn't work. If I remember correctly, something in the UI of allocating or starting VMs crashed. I am not some naive computer user assuming the mistake is with me. I know it's with the software. And I don't have time to work with buggy software. There is better software out there, for example GCP, which has sane APIs and actually works.

To be honest, I don't think you understand anything.
> Do you have a thumbnail of every photo client side

In the happy path the files/thumbnails are indexed before they are uploaded. But we are designing a framework that will pull files/thumbnails for indexing if they are unindexed or indexed by older models.

> how do you do this in a privacy preserving way

Our accuracy will not match that offered by services who index your data on their servers. But there's a trade off between user experience and privacy here, and we are hopeful that ente will be a viable option for an audience who is willing to sacrifice a bit of one for a lot of the other.

It's the current crop of supposed UI/UX experts though that have foisted this mess of material design, hidden menus, disappearing scroll bars, text fields that don't behave like text fields (ex. browser URL bar) etc. So yes, I do believe many programmers who have to suffer years and decades of UI/UX "advancement" (much of what is actually just design churn) and use computing environments extensively, can definitely have a lot of good input.
Of course they don't. If you want to know how, sign up for my seminar on personal finance. Hurry up, seats are running out fast.
On the other hand, Rc turned out to be just what I needed for a particularly complicated data structure that we use.

http://db48x.net/reposurgeon/rust-port-docs/reposurgeon/path...

Also, because of Rust’s wonderful type system it will be fairly straight forward to replace the string keys in this code with interned strings instead. (The amount of strings we use for paths in a large repository is pretty astounding.) That might now be almost possible in Go, if I learn the new generics.
> develop your talent stack. It doesn't matter if...

I think its 100% matters which talent you pick. Some will on average pay out 1000x over others.
No specific response is needed as a bunch of countries already have pre-existing rules that require prohibit importing satellite communications devices without special permits even (or perhaps especially for) personal use - it just doesn't get much attention as e.g. Iridium phones are not that common.

But if these countries do nothing and change nothing, this feature means that it would be prohibited to bring iPhone 13s in the country without special permits.
While I agree it's a little easier for a famous millionaire to say it, I think you're missing the point, which is that "success" is subjective and everybody decides for themselves what's important. It's only a rat-race if you choose it. Nicklaus wasn't saying, "I have economic success, so now I focus on my other priorities," but instead, "My family is my priority, and I make economic success fit around them."

Personally, I don't see any danger in more ordinary people taking that advice. Realistically, most of us won't be rich and famous no matter how hard we try, so why sacrifice so much trying to do so? Focus on something more realistic, like enjoying family or recreation.
I think SOS would almost have to be free on iPhones for the reason you stated. Besides, it would probably pay for itself because it would be such a great selling point. Could see a fair number of Android users switching for having emergency access available anywhere.

And it would be great free advertising. I'm just imagining the first news story with a lost hiker rescued because of their iPhone. It would make a big impact.
Quite the examples you name.... Google has come under quite a bit of public scrutiny for their general practice of espionage performed on the general public and I think we should notice that Chrome is part of that. I have never worked with lotus notes but I did with wordperfect. The progression seems from tool that are understandable to tools that throw away all formatting at the slightest provocation. I am not so sure about it. Of course, I personally would write all of my text in LaTeX.... And where do we start on the topic of Facebook.... maybe try to read a few HN threads regarding the subject.... Maybe I am just starting to feel old but it makes me wonder if we are not over the top in terms of software quality. As far as programming is concerned I consider tool churn as the biggest enemy of the programmer. Especially when a single product consists of too many languages which all have their associated tools. So, that would be another shot against rewriting. In any case, if you are to use the same toolchain anyway, one might as well take large portions of the existing system. Personally I can do anything I want to do with vim, c++, make, coq and LaTeX. All the rest of it has pretty much been brought in without me asking for any of it....

Hmm, true, addition is commutative, so you can reorder the elements however you want. Though it doesn't change the O() complexity you may get some performance tuning by starting with the largest elements.

If we're at fine-tuning, one thing you can do is divide all numbers by the GCD of all numbers, assuming that the GCD is not just 1.
I would interested in seeing an example of what sort of type errors you mean. IME, the Rust compiler does a great job of catching actual mistakes in the type system, such as with Send/Sync. It also pretty easily lets you tell the compiler "no, I know what I'm doing" and say "unsafe impl Send for Foo {}" to do it anyways.
Cuba achieves far more, on far less, than the US, and does so in the face of a 60+ year economic boycott with what had previously been its largest trading partner.

> Are there other ways we can make technical recruiters better?

- list salary range for positions

- emphasize tech stack

- emphasize number of rounds

I’ve wasted my time in the past going through the interview process only to find out the company’s budget for the position was only up to X after getting the offer; a valuable lesson I’ve learned to avoid since then of course.

I also see some recruiters only talking about what the business does … leaving out the tech stack.

If these points are clear and easily visible to recruiting leads they might get higher quality candidates.

Just my two cents.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My one caveat is that you really want some savings that you have reasonably ready access to. As someone else mentioned it may be possible to setup a direct deduction to a brokerage firm to put it in some sort of index fund or funds. That's at least somewhat higher friction than they money being right in a checking account.
I'm no better. I use it to keep in contact with friends, most of whom have moved to other countries but I try to maintain a backup.

I also own an Oculus and have given credit for the Quest in the past as the closest thing to mainstreaming VR to date, it's unfortunate that it operates under Facebook but it's probably the only hardware business they'll have that'll hold any interest to me. I have a separate account for mine because I don't trust or like them (and I really dislike "social" features in games). That being said, I expect it to get caught up and destroyed eventually so I hope at that point the hacker community will have an answer to keep it working outside of the Facebook ecosystem. (There may already be one, I have not checked.)
India always had one of the biggest economies in the world before Industrial Revolution in the Europe.

Expecting anything to be "epicentre of good behavior" is wrong to begin with because every person is different no matter what any text/information/knowledge the person has access to and ancient India (as that is what we're talking about here) did have stable economies as well as kingdoms. Was it perfect? No, because nothing is.

India had pretty significant technological advancements and all you have to do is Google Search for it.

You have absurd definition of "anything of use". If you want everything to be perfect, then bad luck, there isn't such place to go for you.

Surprise, panic and fateful choices: The day America lost its longest war. [WP]
> The average person:
Has a salary of $49k
Doesn’t have enough in emergency savings —19% of Americans have $0 and 31% have less than $500 saved
Spends 56% on their food budget
Has over $5,700 in credit card debt with a 17.89% interest rate
Has only $150k in savings by retirement
Relies on Social Security to fund most of their retirement

Even in a high tax state, a single taxpayer with a 49K salary takes home about $40K. So you're telling me that this taxpayer spends $22.4K on food? That's $61 / day! Also, the median net worth in the US is about $120K, but this guy is telling us that 50% of Americans only have $500 in savings? What a load of bullshit!
Oooh, I bet you're right!
Here's that runs in O(√2^n) time and space. And with careful implementation it will never be significantly slower than the above DP algorithm.

1. Spilt the toys in two sets (A and B) of similar size.

2. Generate a sorted list L of all the possible sums that can be made with the toys in set A. If two sums are equal, keep only one.

3. Generate a sorted list M of all the possible sums that can be made with the toys in set B. If two sums are equal, keep only one.

4. Iterate through L forwards and through M backwards looking for two sums that together make up the target amount.
>On the broader point, there are many people politicizing this and working overtime to assign as much blame as possible to the current administration

8 months in office and practically unlimited resources (human and material), and this is the best they could come up with. Joe Biden was a senator when Saigon was evacuated.

No there’s not enough work here to go into overtime.
If you still want to use the algorithms but keep the data private (self hosted and open source), I can suggest Librephotos.

Ask HN: How to hire for non-technical leadership roles?
My software consulting business has been trying in vain for two years now to hire someone to run sales. We've now hired and fired twice, and the rate at which we receive applications for the role is low.

Meanwhile, we've partnered with one of our clients to build a virtual events platform, and have a working product and a few guinea pig clients but the project really needs someone to take on a full-time sales role. Or even a co-founder-level CEO-type role.

For technical roles, I know where to look (personal network, meetups, conferences, slack groups, etc), and I don't feel like our hiring process is doing a great job of identifying competence.

I ask around in my network but my network is not at all sales-y. I put out job ads and get a slow trickle of uninspiring candidates that I don't feel I have a good assessment process for. I don't really know that many people in the sales/executive space, I don't know where the most competent people spend their time, and I don't know how to properly assess peoples' skills.

Is there a good place to find ambitious, hardworking people with strong people skills, good judgment, and enough technical ability to be able to communicate those topics effectively?

Has anyone here had success hiring for these kinds of roles, and can share their stories/processes?
What's the difference between a minor attracted person and a pedophile?
Canada's national air traffic control system is implemented in ~1 million lines of almost pure Ada, handling everything from the radars to the user interface.

If non-C-family isn't a dealbreaker I would seriously consider Ada for a large project. Very strong typing and modularity that are very suited for large-scale development, a wide range of available toolchains, but without the kitchen sink. (But I'm not qualified to make such decisions.)

Besides, something like implementation language is almost never why a very large software project fails. (Though if you're already failing, then e.g. implementing your cloud service in COBOL is probably not helping.) It's usually from mismanagement, or a failure to define or understand the problem appropriately.
Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry has died
The context you're missing here is the company/research-team that found this are ex-MS employees who started a company (Wiz.io) to help other companies secure their cloud hosting/environments.
