You should read upon the woman who brought down Standard Oil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ida_Tarbell#Standard_Oil

It was basically a person that took on the largest monopoly in the world, and won.

What we have today is a significantly larger momentum against tech monopolies.

Look at some of the practices that brought the case forward:

"An office boy working at the Standard Oil headquarters was given the job of destroying records which included evidence that railroads were giving the company advance information about refiner's shipments.[85] This allowed them to undercut the refiners"

Does that sound familiar? Google knows everything that happens on your phone; and they can just undercut every other successful app if they wish so? Or how Amazon can simply analyze all the sales and create their own version of the successful products?

> In the past, I've been quite successful working 10-6, 11-7, or at some jobs 3-11. For me, with remote work it's easier than ever to get a lot done, without an open-office, working hours I find to be the most productive.
Success of South Korea was built on protectionism and dogfooding its companies.It worked for them, it worked for China and again it worked for Singapore.

That pattern is clear and only those incompetent or weak were unable to resist big corporations.
So a guy with a backhoe who digs through a cable by accident could be tried for human rights violations? Get real... Try reading article 1 of the declaration of human rights, in particular the second sentence. Try to uphold that lofty standard in the future.
Stealing their childhood away, really? It's an article of clothing.

It's an article of clothing which covers of the faces, the facial expressions, the smiles of all their friends and teachers. A typical modern preschool for two working parents is what, 50 hours a week? You are sending your child to a place where they are spending the bulk of their waking hours, the bulk of their socialization, and not allowing them to see smiles. I can still remember the faces of my preschool friends, I am still friends with some. If I had never been able to match smiles with them, would it still be the same? And even if they are fine in the long run, you are still making a year of their life (or more? what is the end game exactly?) significantly worse. It boggles my mind that smart people like yourself are so blase about this.

and then maybe my tribe will still have ICU units available and yours won't.

Masking kids at schools isn't going to have anything to do with this. Denmark has done just fine keeping schools open with no masking ( https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/denmark-schools-covid-19-pande... ). If ICU's are within two or three doublings of filling up, then shut down the gyms and concerts and indoor dining for adults. If all such things are open, as I believe they are in California, then protecting ICU units is clearly not an imminent concern.

Okay. But I can assure you that kids in Singapore or Taiwan or now California, where mask-wearing is just accepted, grow up just fine.

What? Until coronavirus hit, there has never been a society that kept it's children masked among children from other families at all times. No kid has "grown up" under such conditions.
(Litnerd person here). My daughter’s school used Epic, and one of the things we found frustrating was that it was only “free” until 3PM and then if she wanted to continue reading we (the parents) had to buy a subscription (and it was not cheap IMHO). One of the things I love is that this is coming through the school, and will not cost the parents a dime. We cannot expect to impact literacy in lower income households by adding to their overtaxed budgets!

First, this doesn't change my opinion on CSAM, I still consider the thing way too intrusive until Apple announces E2E for iCloud.

Now, I can't really call something I voluntarily uploaded to Apple's servers a "private picture". But that's just a matter of perspective, and I understand that many people would disagree with me on this.
The smalltalk development efforts on both squeak and pharo seem pretty dead. I went back for another crack at VisualWorks after this blog post. Part of the original frustration I had was just not being in a Smalltalk mode of working. I am enjoying it more and resumed work on the aws browser with more success after I relearned some old habits.
That's weird. I have the same mouse and it works perfectöy fine on the Mac Mini M1.
I'd recommend trying to work a place that has both web dev and the role you want, then try to move within the company itself after some time there. Could be more gradual and you can see what the day-to-day work is like before you jump in.
They look cool, but the standard three blade turbine is by far the best for engineering reasons. With vertical turbines you always have a blade going against the wind. With vertical turbines you get variable power from the wind depending on where the blade is in relation to the wind. Engineering can work around these to make the work, but in the end the standard 3 blade turbine is more efficient in both theory and practice.
A degree at least means a candidate can probably read and write. I meet too many 20-somethings who think they are hot stuff because they can make a website dance, but are totally incapable of creating a document explaining how they did it.

Many vendors do block sales of firearms (or anything resembling 2A) due to similar risk factors. It's extremely difficult to find a gateway and processor that's 2A friendly. The small number of vendors that are 2A friendly usually require an FFL to further mitigate risk.

If you can find a gateway and processor that has an underwriting team that will not require an FFL, that would be a sight to behold.

Also, major media outlets* are now doing bait and switch subscriptions. Does that make them high risk too?

I'm in the US, have had the same cell phone number since 2004 [1], and have put it on the do-not-call list, and it doesn't seem to have made a difference. I receive 2x as many junk calls as legitimate calls, but at least an unknown number in my cell phone's area code (where I haven't lived since 2007) is a strong signal that its nobody I want to talk to. (But I can't tell my phone to filter unknown numbers by area code)

This is an amazing article. I think the two things that set it apart is (a) showing the process of building a complex command from scratch step by step, and (b) actually using a real API endpoint to start with.

One convenient tip I discovered after reading this article and trying out the command is that

jq 'map({ title: .title, number: .number, labels: .labels | length }) | map(select(.labels > 0))'

can be refactored into

jq 'map({ title: .title, number: .number, labels: .labels | length } | select(.labels > 0))'

or in other words, map(filter1) | map(filter2) == map(filter1 | filter2).
Honestly now that I think about it it's kind of surprising that Chrome has a reader mode button at all; why would a company whose business is mostly "serving ads" want to make it easier for you to get rid of them?
That seems like a too stupid bug to have existed in a production system.

However, there was a real problem a few years ago with some Samsung Exynos processors, where the cache line size was different between the big and the little cores.

A few programs made assumptions about the cache line size and had weird behavior after starting on one kind of core, then being migrated on the other kind of core.
But "Human Rights" are not intended to be "nice things that we could and should have in the current American society". They are intended to be the Universal Human Rights, valid everywhere and all the times. They logically pre-exist before any government, because they are the moral foundation on which you are entitled to resist/overthrow by force a government that violate the Human Rights of his citizens. If you say for example that free access to education is an Human Right and your government must provide it, you are not merely stating "free access to education is very important, and is a deal breaker when it comes to election". It’s saying that should your government fail to provide free education, that is a casus belli between the government and the citizens, and that you have the right and the duty of insurrection to fix the situation as soon as possible.

Human Rights are a kind of schelling points where we agree that "those roles are so Universal that as soon as we recognize a violation of them, we instantly recognize who is the Bad Guy (the one who is violating them) and who is the Good Guy and (the one who is denied his basic human rights) and EVERYTHING GOES to fix the situation". If you have to put a bullet in the head of the Bad Guy, so be it. If you say that "Housing is a Human Right", you are instantly obligated to donate all of your disposable income as soon as you encounter one homeless. If you don’t, well, any bystander is justified in taking it from you, by force if necessary.

By putting everything that sounds nice in "Human Rights", you cheapen the term. Let’s say that in 20 years Human Rights really means exactly that : housing, basic income, internet access, and so on. In the mind of everyone, Human Right violation is no big deal, like someone not having internet access. Then how do you communicate the horrors of innocent citizens getting arrested, tortured and murdered ? Are you really going to put those two realities in the same term, "Human Rights Violation" ?
Given the average user don't know what a url is and a pedophile can use the darknet, I'd say criminals are not all dumb.
You still need to pass through a bank to convert it to anything usable.
Except it'd be one department noticing you did something big enough and another department needing to admit it's mistake (and I might add: and now less inclined to do so it since you did something big) ...
That's the same as a designer charging 200 bucks for a logo and then when the company becomes a multi national comes back asking for more. You agreed (in his case, his parents agreed) with the said price. Also naked baby and consider it's child pornography it's quite a big stretch. People are so sick.
One of the other major things that made me want to offer any information I can is the lack of knowledge on the topic I’ve seen posted on here and places like Reddit. I just would never attempt to have an actual discussion on Reddit though. When you have a topic so shrouded in secrecy and the only articles that people see about them are articles like these, it’s not too surprising though. There’s just so many variables to account for from the administration in office during the strike, to the human managers that happened to be on the clock at the time.

The hard part is finding one that's paid, or pays enough. Most people can't afford to do un(der)paid labor for the prospect of maybe, possibly, but maybe not getting a job. Being able to do unpaid labor selects for people with other things working in their favor.
Sure, but not without a personal guarantee from one or more of said executives, I would imagine. At that point, it's effectively the bank lending the money to the exec though, and not lending to the company.

Support HN: Automatically track how much time your team spends on each project
Hi, Me and my friend are working on a product that helps startup founders and freelance agencies to keep track of all the time that their team spend on different projects/meetings. (Automatically, no need of manual logging)

This will give the founder a complete overview of where's the company heading (and possibly a good idea of the efficiency)

We're looking for first few customers so that we can shape the product according to their feedback.

Please comment or upvote to support us.

Thanks!

Is there any reading on that? I'd love it to be true.
What's the mood like? Are people excited to plug in and kill the baddies? Or is it just another day in the office yada yada Mondays are the worst? Do you prefer operators with previous gaming experience? Were there ever any operators that refused mission orders? how hard would it be for someone(higher ranking) to override an operators mission?
Brand, vision for the product and such are one thing. Vague demands and pressures by the financial sector are another.

Partly due to actual risk, and partially because of stigma... payment processing costs are substantially higher in "sin sectors." Often they use specialised services targeting just these industries.

I assume financing has similar issues. Merchant banks don't want to add a porn bond to their portfolio, and those who do want a premium. Premiums count for a lot these days. A valuation anti-premium, at the extreme end, might turn a billion dollar company into a $100m. Private tech company valuations can be quite squishy.

We have so much structure in the economy now. High finance has always been structured, but the lower tiers were more significant when startup valuations were more modest. Once valuations hit billions, finance is high finance more or less by definition. That means the high finance cabal has a lot of say.

Meanwhile, users are structured by Google, FB and a handful of others. AWS is gradually becoming both monopolistic and opinionated. Payments systems are bottlenecked, with a structure related to the high finance structure.

What does and doesn't get built, or succeeds in a highly structured world is different to a more free market situation.
The industry is implementing STIR/SHAKEN which should help somewhat.

I tried this multiple times over the past several years and it seemed to make little difference for me. I'm thinking whoever had this number before me gave it out to anyone and everyone. I will try signing up for this list again. Thanks!
Sometimes people land on hard times so they make ill advised decisions. Lets be honest here, nobody is going to look at the adult and say hey I remember you- you're the naked baby on the nirvana album. He is the one who did that, by recreating the photo multiple times and doing interviews.

If we want to talk about gross album covers, I seem to remember a Scorpions album from the 70s that I don't ever care to see again or even look up...
My voicemail gets plenty of robocalls, many of them threatening me about some "expired warranty" for a product that I never bought. If you are in the US, here are some ways to reduce robocalls or at least make them less annoying:

- Enroll all of your phone numbers into the National Do Not Call Registry: https://www.donotcall.gov. This lets you report robocalls immediately after registration, and forbids sales calls (including ones that are not robocalls) to your number starting 31 days after registration. Report all robocalls to https://www.donotcall.gov/report.html after registering your numbers. When the FTC receives enough reports about a robocaller, they will file a class action lawsuit and you can get reimbursed.

- If you have a postpaid plan with a major US carrier, you may be able to use a free app that blocks calls identified as spam. Postpaid customers of AT&T, T-Mobile/Sprint, and Verizon all qualify. The Verge has a summary: https://www.theverge.com/21327304/spam-calls-how-to-stop-blo...

- Both Android and iOS have APIs for call blocking, which third-party apps can use. If you are on Android, Yet Another Call Blocker is a free and open source app that uses an offline database to show you the reputation of incoming callers, and optionally lets you block them automatically: https://gitlab.com/xynngh/YetAnotherCallBlocker

- If you don't need to receive calls from phone numbers outside of your contact list, you can set your phone to send all calls from numbers not on your contact list to voicemail. Instructions for Android vary by phone manufacturer, but Yet Another Call Blocker can do this on any Android phone (use "*" in the blacklist to block all calls, and whitelist all contacts). iOS has the Silence Unknown Callers feature: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207099
The text to speech goes through speech dispatcher which by default probably uses espeak. I believe there are better text to speech engines like festival which you should be able to have speech dispatcher use quite easily but I've never tried this.

I run personal food storage inventory system as a webapp/pwa: [link redacted]

Front end runs Vue 2 with Quasar, JsBarcode, custom service worker, and PouchDB for local data persistence. The stack is optimized for ease of adding features with the pre-build GUI components, and front end PouchDB facilitates offline capability as well as keeping a user's various clients in sync.

The backend uses an nginx proxy to CouchDB for data persistence and replication, a small node.js API, and product data from various free repositories. CouchDB serves as the master store as well as the hub of replicating data between clients on the same account.

The architecture and tech choices are very closely tied to client desires. Clients planning for disasters demand the software continue to function offline or in degraded network environments, so this feature drives the overall offline-first data architecture. Data needs to remain in sync across a family's devices so the replication and keeping all the clients up to date is a big value add.
> The problem with battery energy storage is not cost but scale.

I'd posit that it's mostly cost, otherwise it would be a solved problem now.

Certainly we can scale - even if it means putting low-cost batteries behind the meter (that solves, for a very modest sum, 90% of power consumers' problems). That's a horizontal scaling, obviously.

For the consumer types that need a lot of energy, then we need to come up with more imaginative solutions for their requirements. These types of turbines are almost definitely part of that.

Aside - complaining about downvotes is bad form. My feeling is your myriad comments on this article exhibit vehemence, and imply everyone else is ill-informed. It's possible we all have something to learn.
I'm not a Steve Jobs or Apple fan and I don't like some of his personalities, but to say someone is "an absolute disgrace of a human being", despite the fact that what he did inevitably revolutionized the entire computer/mobile world, sounds more like an absolute disgrace of a human being to me.

I don't know what gets you so mad at him, maybe you were the guy he fired from his meeting? Or is it just jealousy and denial of truth. He is not a moral saint, nor are you. He sometimes gets angry and attacks people, so did you in your post. Judging from how biased you were in your post, you are in no position to judge him to be honest, let alone belittling his massive contributions to mankind. Where were you when he introduced iPhone to the world?
That particular example is less about protectionism, though I’d agree South Korea does that plenty. SK has laws against exporting map data, for reasons related to their saber rattling neighbor.

The pole in the center of the VAT generates a turbulent wake that the blades pass through once every rotation. This wake shakes the blade and causes extra stress. The blades themselves make a wake also, though not as much as the pole.

The horizontal turbines put the pole behind the blades. The pole does make a bow wave, but it is not as bad as the VAT wake. The pole/blade interaction is not as severe.
There's this scene in Finding Forrester where Sean Connery marks up a manuscript with the phrase "constipated thinking." Mind mapping for me is a way to grease the skids, as it were, since the hardest part in organizing thoughts is just getting them down. While I prefer pen and paper--the tactile sense of it helps me--the mind map is a useful tool for taking what is essentially a disorganized mass of thoughts and figuring out how to organize it.
