Very proud to have secured the Loading… badge!

Looks like pg got that one too. Which makes me think this would benefit from a caching layer somewhere. I doubt I’m the first person who looked at pg’s page today, and I doubt the badges change very frequently.
Nice tool, thank you for sharing.

Feedback - a small bug - somehow it misses / hides the "½" character in my bio (profile description).
Not really, no. Modern chipsets are way better than previously, but it's still far from universally reliable, and can't be.
> It's not that he should or shouldn't have

If he should have, he's a victim; if he shouldn't have, he's not. If you "place it more" on the author trying to paint a victim narrative, you're explicitly saying that it is about whether he should or shouldn't have, and that you think he shouldn't have.

Any reason why you think they might not be?

On a side note, other than the deception, if these are "fake" current photos that's still be interesting.
Trolls (2016)
I'm not an economics expert, but I suspect this is because "existence of capital" and "access to capital" are quite different.

Put another way, abundant capital exists, but sadly it is disproportionately concentrated and not that readily available to the masses, so demand-pull inflation inevitably kicks in.
Not mine either, in the US.
Someone:

- created a new business,
- employed 1000s of people, giving them better opportunities,
- created something valuable to improve the lives of consumers, and
- did it for so many people at such scale that they became a billionaire,

and somehow you're complaining about the amount of their contribution?

That said, the origin of your wealth is also important. A politician that got it simply by stealing via the government didn't contribute anything.
That’s not what property taxes fund nor what they are ostensibly even partially used for.

If I said deed registration fees, you would be correct.
ruby is a still a pleasurable language to use. it's simpler than python. rails for crud stuff is gold standard alongside django.
at least in the ruby world, there isn't much momentum compared to most languages of adding static typing though things like sorbet exist.
in the js world the typescript folks came in, the dynamism of js is disappearing

"Brain Drain" in Finland: unlikely. Comparing it with Italy is disproportional (as attested by Glassdoor)

They might be lower-ish, but not low. And it attracts talent.

(though the weather is a push factor more likely)
Could you explain a bit more, I don't really understand what you are saying. Do you mean they would have been better off to just borrow money/get investors to grow aggressively? And by better off, do you mean be worth more or be more long-term secure?
True of course for the average Finnish citizen.

However, if you’re a highly paid white collar worker, you can afford to put your kids in good schools no matter where you’re living.
Corelight secures $75M Series D to bolster its network defense offering
My hope is that effects like these that turn up the heat - so to speak - will finally allow this to break through to the general public: we're at the brink of an existential crisis.

For most people it's still business-as-usual. But time is running out. I'm actually a bit relieved that all the worst-case milestones are being hit years in advance - it just demonstrates how very conservative the simulations are in regard to the impact they predict.

Can we now stop pretending that the planet isn't on fire, please?
Gab.com’s Response to Congress
If you actually want to camp comfortably out of a car, you want a Prius all day, every day.

Number 1 Killer feature: Climate control! You can run the AC all night with the car in "Ready" mode ("on and in park" in most other vehicles) and the car will only kick the gas engine on for 30-60 seconds every 5-10 mins (depending on how hot it is outside). You'll probably go through less than a gallon of gas overnight.

The next bonus is how easy it is to run an inverter off the 12v battery, which the hybrid battery and engine will also recharge as needed. You can even run a microwave in the car! Plus, having a 2000W pure sine wave inverter is a great way to provide back-up power to some of your household appliances in a power outage if you need to. The Prius is a more efficient generator than most made for that purpose!

If you want to go further down the rabbit hole, look for "Prius camping" or "hotel Prius" keywords. You'll even find clever solutions for bathing and eliminating waste if it's imperative to you to do that within the vehicle itself!

Just remember it's "living out of a Prius" not "living in a Prius." It's a base of operations and a safe place to sleep, not something you want to stay inside for days on end.
I agree but generally companies are obligated to form provisions (set-aside money) for liabilities payable in the future. In some legislations (don't know what applies to WhatsApp) a company might even have to save a certain percentage of earnings in a legal reserve.

If WhatsApp gains knowledge of an impending fine (exact amount might yet be unknown) that is to be paid at some point in the future, they have to earmark money to cover that liability.

Ask HN: Best books on modern distributed systems
I've read designing data intensive systems and it covered distributed systems a bit.

I don't find most textbooks to be an actually good intro outside of a course setting. For example, I own Andrew Tannenbaum's Distributed System book and a few others of his. But his writing style is too dense for me to make enough progress without giving up.

What other books (probably not textbooks) do you recommend on distributed systems?
A $2000 mortgage payment at 4% interest is not equivalent to a $2000 payment at 2%.

That money that would have gone towards your equity, is being spent in interest. This is why people making 60k/yr. buy $65,000 trucks. Interest rates drop and they only look at the monthly payment amount.

You don’t always get the full tax deduction on a first home either. In high tax states the 10k deduction limit kicks in when your paying high state taxes + mortgage interest.
I'll check this out, thanks for the recommendation.
Comparing with MailChimp and co, I’d say it’s definitely cheaper (going with SES for sending mails at least).

I like it because I own the data of my email lists and in this sense, the control is also a big plus point! Plus it’s open source, probably easier to get something custom working than with any big provider out there.

Your first car/rv camping trip should be to a 24 hour wal-mart. Most will let you sleep in the parking lot overnight at no cost (if they won't it is local laws won't allow it: vote out your corrupt mayor). Bring just the most obvious requirements (medication) and a credit card - every time you realize you need something go inside and buy it. What you needs are, are just slightly different from everyone else's, but you can always find something that will get you through the night at walmart.

Once you get home examine all the gear you bought. Some of it will be good enough for more trips, others are junk that got you through the night, but you want to replace with something higher quality.

For things like coffee you know if you drink it or not. However few people know if they will actually play board games while camping - I know a lot of campers that play them all the time, and a lot others who bring them with but have never opened the box. Likewise, some need measuring cups to cook, others are just going to eat out when camping: until you are doing you don't know which way you really are.
Because life is so much more than creating hot-air balloons?

Will anything of this "content" you create with the aim of sharing have any value in N years when you are gone? (Does it have any value right now even?)

If you create it with a passion to some other end goal it might, but then surely quality is far more important than quantity.
What do you mean by 'no'? That agrees with the statement that this is a reward for past performance and I don't see how that is relevant to my other statements.

I think it's also useful to know which philosophers addressed which subject. Knowing that Nietzsche wrote about existentialism and his projections on the secularisation of the West is important, and many people's entry to that are his quotes about the abyss and the death of God. If you're wanting to dive deeper into one of these topics, you would know to read his works or the works of philosophers who followed or preceded in his tradition.
None of the software companies require Finnish. I don't think many come here and get the education with the aim to become social workers.

It's massively easier to get by with english here than almost anywhere else in Europe (besides UK and Ireland).
They did not truly use the same script the entire time. Like all writing systems the script did change as people simplified characters for their own convenience and as spoken (and thus written) language changed. New characters were added over time and old characters fell out of use. Cuneiform originally developed from commonly used pictograms that were used for various purposes (accounting, identification, etc.) but were not "true" writing.

Same thing happened in China and Mesoamerica. The degree to which people were aware of the change in the characters is debatable, but there was certainly some awareness among the scribes and elites in later centuries (e.g. the Talmud records a debate about the Hebrew writing system). I suspect that at least the elites of Mesopotamia knew that the system had changed because they had access to much older tablets than what they themselves were producing. At a minimum they knew that the language had changed, since they were literate in both ancient Sumerian and whatever the common language of their city was (Akkadian, Elamite, etc.), and they likely recognized regional variations in the characters on tablets they received from other cities.
Tell me you are a Dev without telling me you are a Dev
It's worth noting that many larger mittelstands companies have significantly higher R&D budgets (percentage wise) than lots of aggressive growth companies. In fact I'd argue if you want to grow quickly investing in R&D is often a bad strategy, because the payoff is much more long-term and less clear.
"Social media" has no real definition, I suppose, but I don't consider a crowd-sourced link aggregator with comments to be that. You probably at least need primarily user-generated content and some way to explicitly follow specific people and customize the information view based on a user's personal network. We have no networks here. Also, no avatars, sparse profiles many don't even fill out, all leads to users who are less memorable than even the old vBulletin days. I can think of exactly two users off the top of my head whose user names I'd even recognize. I think that is part of the point, too. You're supposed to focus on the information content here, not the person who submitted it. It's backwards compared to what I would consider social media, where the focus is very much on who.
Guide to reversing VMProtect (old versions)
In most of the cases either GrapheneOS + sandboxed Play Services or CalyxOS + MicroG works just fine with banking apps or any other apps.

What's not working: apps using strict SafetyNet checks, in-app purchases (on MicroG), GPlay license checks (on MicroG). And rest assured, location services will be a real pain in your ass on Graphene (and sometimes DejaVu may deadlock on Calyx, better turn it off completely and replace with "GSM Location" Unified NLP backend).
Same argument applies to any of the dozens of hybrid vehicles.

I've heard that Sweden didn't want to make Swedish an official language of the EU when they joined, due to the fact that EU would then use a lot of resources to translate all documents to Swedish. But then Finland (with it's Swedish minority population) went ahead and made it an official language anyway.

I'm not sure if it's true, but it wouldn't surprise me.
> It does make a difference if you have anyone in your house doing gaming (games are HUGE now), and it makes a big difference for me on work from home.

does it?

just checked my router, my WFH VLAN has consumed 21gb down/7.7gb up in the last 64 days

so 2xmonitor fullscreen citrix is using about 300mb down/120mb up per day

and my gaming VLAN used about 20kb/s when playing Overwatch

I doubt you will notice any difference between 160/30 fibre and 1000/115 fibre!
Similar here. When I first saw "Penteru" in Japan, I had to stop and figure out who had imported what, but even the way the logo text was rendered in Japanese made it pretty obvious. That was a surprise for sure.
Given that a Prius is so efficient in this regard, how feasible is it to adopt its energy system for a camper? (ie an actual RV?) Would there be advantages? Is anyone working on this?

The only coherent opposite of “scarce” is “infinite”.
Signal seems to be getting along just fine, despite not collecting advertising data from users about our messaging habits.

And if they want to run a free messaging service supported by advertising, there's plenty of ways to do that which are in compliance with the GDPR. For example, they could start by being really clear about what data is collected in their privacy policy and for what purposes. They could stop collecting data and just have worse advertising targeting. And so on.

But instead of any of that, they're actively choosing to break the law and now crying foul when the government takes them to task over it. Boo hoo. European countries have the right to make laws protecting their own citizens' data. Facebook isn't a country unto itself.
Shared for the technical content and not because I think there are that many .NET devs on HN.

Aside from the gems, some of the things in there are real facepalm moments that would never have happened in the original IO code if the team that came up with it even communicated with the teams responsible for the Windows IO subsystem. I’d (wrongly) assumed that file IO in .NET was not much more expensive than doing it yourself in unmanaged code like most of us were used to doing on Windows, but that would have been a very dangerous assumption.
> The regulator originally said it was looking into 11 such crashes. A 12th occurred on Saturday

But there are 4500 crashes every year, and that's only including ambulances (https://www.ems.gov/pdf/GroundAmbulanceCrashesPresentation.p... pg 22). So why is Tesla being investigated for being involved in 0.25% of these crashes when they made up 3% of car sales in 2020?

Also, radar ignores stationary objects on any car. Why is only Tesla being investigated when this exact same flaw exists in every other car manufacturer that uses radar based cruise control?
> Finally, is the challenge of having a society built around strong ethic ties. Even if Helsinki were to switch to English, there will be always be outsiders i.e. those who are not ethnic Finns. Again, this is not something that policy can solve and is one of the reasons that silicon valley and North America in general do very well at.

Recently I read a book called Persian Fire by Tom Holland. One detail which struck me as very interesting was how the first democratic ruler of Athens, Cleisthenes, solved the tribalism problem. Here tribalism is the perfect word as the average Athentian citizen of that time associated with one of the 10 tribes based on surnames. His solution was to invent 150 demesnes and have people arbitrarily assigned to them. He also invented new surnames.

Something similar is happening in contemporary Singapore. Every neighbourhood must not have more than X% of any ethnic group.

My point is that policy can solve this. Might make many people unhappy, like Finns who are forbidden to live in some zip codes because there are too many Finns, but policy is definitely a way to approach this problem (if it is a problem, nothing wrong with mono-cultural societies who do not want foreigners).
Ruby occupies a similar space to Golang in my mind, where it is "just" a solid business oriented language that gets out of your way. It will never wow you like Rust or Haskell and that is fine, because that is not what it is aiming for. Rails is one of best DSLs for writing simple SAAS apps, too.

That said, different usecases require different languages. I would never use Ruby for a compiler project.
Does Podman offer anything similar to Docker Swarm? I absolutely love Swarm mode (yet to find a simpler way of organising containers over a few small nodes), but do not want to deal with Docker the company.
Made it past the intro. His ideas are debatable; however, I'm gonna go a bit ad-hominem here: why do we tend to put rich and smart in the same box? Increasingly, I see guys who 'made it' (maybe sheer luck or timing) being cast as authorities on solving the world's problems. Is it because cash is king?
that's pretty rude. The "you" in my statement is not you personally, but the general "you" - I'm already British enough without using the word "one" in its place for disambiguation.

Yes, there are. In order to log into Revolut web UI you need to confirm your login through their app.

> the dynamism of js is disappearing

As an outsider, really curious to hear more about this. Is it from an ecosystem point of view, where the "dynamism is disappearing" or more from a day to day, the fact that writing TS is significantly different than writing JS? Or even something else?
The fact that it occurs so often should suggest to you that autopilot itself makes people too comfortable and not pay attention.

I work with a tech company in Helsinki. They seem to attract talent from various parts of Europe just fine, and probably pay reasonably well. They have a very international outlook on business and a great history of developing apps for mobile devices.
Yes, it is the same in Germany. My employer rented an apartment for us, and to do this we assigned limited power of attorney (Vollmacht) to a consultant to registered for us.

So, with lots of money you can break the circular problem of: you need a residence to get a local account, and getting a residence requires a local account and physical presence in the town hall registration office.

There are probably (hopefully) more efficient ways to do this, but that's how we did it.
Podman-machine was an external project that was derived from minishift and some of the images I made to allow fedora and Podman to be used. This worked, but was mostly a one man project by a community member

You can also rent nice, nearly new RVs for a $200/day. For most people this is a lot cheaper than buying anything, and you can get a different sized RV for every trip (important, sometimes a small RV is all you can get where you going, other times you want a big RV once you get there)
> 12 crashes into vehicles with flashing lights on them doesn't sound like great success from Autopilot, gonna be honest.

I'm sorry, but how can you form an opinion so quickly? 12 crashes out of what? Any number? 12 crashes out of 10000000 scenarios sound like a pretty good record, while 12 crashes out of 15 scenarios indeed doesn't sound like a great success.

But what information do you have that the rest of us doesn't?
