bookreport | Fully Remote | Full-time | https://www.bookreport.io

bookreport is an Austin-based startup providing financial software, data analytics & financial services for K-12 schools. We are optimizing our nation’s $600bn K-12 education spend from the ground up – school by school and dollar by dollar.

bookreport is a growing company; our product is currently used by schools, but there’s still much more to build. You should be comfortable coding in Golang and Typescript (or languages like them), and ideally have some experience with the following: MySQL, React, and Kubernetes.

We're looking for senior or mid-level engineers to come in and help push this awesome product forward.

If you're interested in applying or hearing more about the job and the company, send an email and resume to me at jared@bookreport.io
You're correct, but you can see he already has a personal domain hosting his blog: ben.balter.com. He probably just pointed another subdomain at the pihole e.g. pihole.balter.com. That's what I did with my piholes and other internal web apps on my home network.
Without getting too spaced-out with the the Bezos-Musk dynamics, I personally hate the idea of having private companies getting on the SpaceX bandwagon and clogging up outer space with thousands of satellites.
According to the CDC (as of August 18th) there are at least 742 cases of myocarditis and myopericarditis associated with vaccination, potentially upwards of ~1,300 [1].

For males age 16-17 the reporting rate of myopericarditis after 2 doses of Pfizer is 71.5 per 1 million doses administered (0.0071%) [1].

For males aged 18-24 the reporting rate after 2 doses of Pfizer or Moderna is ~37 per 1 million doses (0.0037%).

You could just use plain wiregaurd built into the linux kernel... Download a tiny config from mullvad (there is a separate config for each server), pop it in `/etc/wiregaurd`, `chmod 600` and `chown root:root` it and use the `wg-quick` command to bring it up e.g `wg-quick up config-name`. That's it, no appy apps needed. I believe this is all the apps are doing, they just make it easier by retrieving and installing the configs for you and of course add more attack vectors in the process.

This is how i use wiregaurd and it's pretty easy via the wg-quick interface. If using systemd you can also generate a unit for a particular config to bring it up at boot with: `systemctl enable wg-quick@config-name` where config-name is whichever one you want from your /etc/wiregaurd dir.

If you want to be able to check a file to see it's up, e.g for i3status bar or something, you can use /sys like this: `/sys/devices/virtual/net/mullvad*/dev_id` i'm using a wildcard but you can be more specific if you aren't going to be changing configs.
The episode with John McWhorter is my favorite example of this - McWhorter is audibly delighted by Cowen's questions about linguistics.

On top of just "compliance" or "customers demand it", these types of penetration tests can and do expose real, serious vulnerabilities in software.

Furthermore, I wouldn't underestimate the positive press that having a third party security firm assess your product and share the results publicly. VPN Services have been under special scrutiny lately so I think something like this makes total sense for Mozilla, regardless of the cost.
The eponymous Count Zero's boots seemed to foreshadow the Lunarcore aesthetic, but probably didn't influence it directly.

Brilliant well written article. Not without bias, but you can see through the words on the page and into the immense pressure that team at Virgin Galactic must have been under to get their boss into space and to beat Bezos, all for the inflated ego of one man. Branson did put his life on the line to achieve that accolade though, which was a gutsy move.
Cost of the mail forwarder service + import taxes are going to increase the price a lot.

So if you really, really want it right now I guess that's an option... But then it becomes a really overpriced laptop.
Yeah this was truly an abomination. Everything Apple got in trouble for was undeniably illegal and the verdict was justified - but I'd argue the outcome wasn't. Even as an Apple customer, I'll state the "iBooks experience" is clearly shit in almost every way compared to Amazon - yet they get slapped down and Amazon doesn't. The 800-pound gorilla became the 8000-pound now.
That might be what reddit wants not but if they decide to go public they'll have to convince shareholders why it's a good idea to leave the keys to the kingdom in the hands of a bunch of anonymous non-employees.

Don't forget that you'll need a backpack or something to carry it. And you'll have to unzip the carrying case and put the laptop in or pull the laptop out yourself. And you have to unfold or fold the laptop, too.

This is exactly like the Dell or Lenovo. There's no difference at all. This laptop has not innovated in any way or have any features whatsoever that might distinguish it.

If you don't see value for yourself in the obvious differences of this laptop, fine. But why snipe?

I don't care for the Intel board, so I will wait to see if they can produce an interesting Ryzen card. But that doesn't mean that others should wait.

It's awesome work. They deserve a congratulations.
This seems on par with the process - Amazon submits feedback and the general public who are sick of Amazon's practices submit feedback via pitchforks and torches.

We are within our rights to call out Amazon before, after and during FCC review.

I didn't say I believed anything of the sort. I just suggested the parent mention a few people to help his argument.
Why not? it's a one time expense that helps you launch.

If throwing money at a problems solves, that's rarely a hard argument to make.

If you throw engineers at a problem it might get solved, or it might not. Hiring an engineer to work on something is a high risk investment.

side note: Mozilla does have great engineers, when I was there a few years ago the security was also very competent. But it's probably not the same as getting specialized consultants.

Relay Delivery | Senior Software Engineer, Senior Data Engineer, DevOps Engineer (leveling can be flexible from mid-senior) | ONSITE | NYC | Full-time | https://jobs.lever.co/deliveryrelay

Relay is on a mission to consolidate the backend logistics of food deliveries. We're a small team (5 engineers, 22 total employees), building a last-mile delivery network for restaurants. Our main differentiator from other companies in the space is that we're a platform-agnostic delivery provider so we're able to consolidate deliveries, saving money for restaurant owners (read: small businesses!) and customers, and providing reliable hourly wages to delivery couriers so it's truly a win-win-win, and there's a massive appetite for what we're building.

Natural selection doesn't care about what looks pretty, only that it works. A modern operating system is millions of lines of code. Do you think it is possible that some of the code are no longer used but nobody dares remove it?
True, but that’s probably an upside. The “freshman experience” is many things, but it’s NOT an easy environment to learn basic study skills if you missed that in high school.
Glad to know we finally found the final arbiter of what exactly is "extremism and misinformation"! This will make governing the people so much easier now!

I mean, I get that if I have, say:

[0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0]
[1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1]

that these are perpendicular to each other, which I will easily call ninety degrees, and that two such collinear vectors are at zero degrees.

But I somehow wouldn't go from that intuition into specific cosines. Like "Oh, look, if I divide out the lengths from the dot product, I'm getting 0.5! Why that's the cosine of 60 degrees!"
Ask HN: If you could build an OS for software dev, what would it look like?
I don’t think any of that qualifies as overt hostility, especially not toward the future of Linux broadly.

- I hope we can agree that supporting bare metal Linux shouldn’t be that bar.

- T2 is about securing the OS and functionality that they do offer as part of the product and its value proposition. That it makes installing Linux more difficult doesn’t establish intent to make it more difficult. It could just as well be they don’t care. Given they’ve showcased Linux in a VM, I find the latter more likely.

- They have a track record of ignoring efforts support non-Mac OSes, but embracing them as they become viable (Bootcamp).

- Even if they outright blocked these efforts, Linux will still work on non-Apple hardware (which surely represents the majority of current installations), and in a VM on Macs. So it’s hard to see how this affects the future of Linux.

I really wish there was some effort on the part of the broader (F)OSS community to better understand the nature of the subject of their ire. Apple’s position here may warrant some criticism. I certainly wish they were more transparent and provided better documentation across the board, including their hardware. But there is a wide range of disposition between fully embracing and supporting these efforts and “overt hostility”.
A month or so ago I read some papers about classical monocytes being turned into non-classical monocytes that do not undergo apoptosis by the s1 spike protein and that these antibodies are cytotoxic and live in your blood for up to 15 months, and build up with exposure to covid and the vaccine, and this was responsible for a lot of cardiovascular complications with both. Is this article related to that? Seems to use a lot of different language but it sounds similar, does anyone more knowledgeable on this topic have some insight to share?
I wasn't suggesting people shouldn't make that particular 'sacrifice', I suppose the analogy could be better. My point was that individual action may be neither necessary nor sufficient to prevent the bad outcome from happening: agriculture could cause aquifer depletion even if suburban houses used no water at all, while without agricultural use, suburban houses could be incredibly wasteful and the aquifer might be fine.

In this case, the 'bad outcome' is crummy thin-and-light disposable laptops with insufficient numbers of obsolete ports, proprietary drivers, bad thermals, and closed operating systems, and no options for power users who want good laptops. It has felt to me, for a long time, that Apple, Dell, Lenovo, HP etc. have been pressing further in this direction. My 'boycott' of these products is not heard in any of their boardrooms or design committees; the strategy of buying business' discontinued Thinkpads on eBay works for now but does not work long-term.

A successful Framework laptop might make some waves. Somewhere in some conference room, someone will float the proposal that their new mobile workstation should obviously save $0.25 per unit by gluing in the battery, this would be a data point to say that some people who might be making decisions like this would actually like a laptop that includes a screwdriver.
Can you move your domain registration elsewhere?

It's not all marketing for the exact reason you state, it doesn't scale with the balance but is fixed. A flat-fee would be interesting for precisely the account holders with a large balance. There would be a bank-run-exodus of large accounts to such an impossible flat-fee bank.
> I’ve never understood the next-business-day-on-site warranty thing people seem so keen on.

> Apple products ... just buy another one

I think you answered your own question. Buying a new laptop every time something is broken is expensive. Lenovo offers quite cheap extended warranty plus the next-day repair is great. (EU: I paid less then 50E for another year of warranty after the original 2 years)
So because they pay you and force to play by their rules it doesn't mean that you have to accept it. Just don't use it. Platform die eventually.
Are you implying that web applications are a fad?

I loved both the Jackpot books - the way the first one throws you in with no context whatsoever and slowly reveals itself. And I thought it interesting with Agency (possible spoilers) that the only characters with any actual agency were vastly intelligent military AIs or whatever post-human monsters Lowbeer and the rest of the Klept are. Mere humans never got a look in.
None of my PC laptops ever had parts of the keyboard randomly die on me. None of my PC laptops, ever, had self-inflating batteries.

I experienced both on employer-provided MacBooks. Now, I may have been particularly unlucky here, but I think Apple hardware quality never having been surpassed is a bit of an optimistic statement.
“Free labor” makes the nether regions of many a businessman turn tropical.
I did the same but in addition I read things out quietly and asked myself questions about what I just wrote down and read. Not simply reciting the core points but trying to understand why they were put in that place, what makes it necessary for them to be that way and how they fit into the broader context. Additionally I'd "circle back" every now and then, i.e. question what happened in the previous page, then in the previous chapter.
It got extremely addicting to learn once I got the hang of it. It is remarkable (and quite frankly insane) how much knowledge you can absorb and internalize in a coherent way if you just blast every sense with that input and force your mind to "live and breathe" a certain topic.
(I still became an unemployed loser but at least I can learn fast!)
> without loop holes and minimums

How does this work? There are always loopholes. I don't think it could exist, nor will exist with the incentives of politicians, frankly. It would be nice though.

> How do you feel about my suggestion of 50% inheritance tax without loop holes and minimums? It should decrease inherited wealth by greater than a geometric rate.

I have no issue, in theory with aggressive taxes. I of course don't want to lose my income if the taxes don't help society, but i have no issue with useful tax. As a not-billionaire without inter-generational wealth protect, i see inheritance taxes value. I think, realistically, that people will always prefer to protect/provide to kin, at expense of society, and we have to work around that.

Can i create a holding company, co-owned between me and next-of-kin and "invest" my money in it then let them liquidate?

Can i loan them the money? Can i gift them money? Can i store in trust? Do other nations have successful ways to do this?

> Idea: You "pay" the tax on a family business inheritance buy guaranteeing payments to national tax authority / treasury as long as the business is open.

This seems like its burdensome to the business, in a way that could be destructive to it. If you suspend payment when its not profitable, then you can act like amazon and many other corps and eternally run a deficit to avoid tax. If you don't allow that, then you're draining the cashflow of a valid business which may kill it.

Frankly, i think its backwards too. Giving cash or liquid assets to your kids? Tax the S*T out of it. Giving a successful business that employees lots of people in your local town? Don't ruin the business trying to tax an old (wo)man giving it to their kids - that's destructive. Tax the kids when they cash-out from the business (sell biz, receive income, etc). I'm not particularly biz friendly, but they have real value to people outside of the family and produce something for society.

I also don't think its unreasonable to not tax real estate transfers, especially if its a primary residence. Maybe estate that actually stays in the family multiple generations doesnt get taxed, idk. Lots of people have strong multi-generational attachment to physical places. That's what really makes this hard.
How does that compare to the claim that only 15 points are needed?

I found the paper. https://archive.org/details/bitsavers_ibmproceedmputationSem... (Note the type: that paper starts on page 52; Krawitz also had another paper on page 66.)\

The "15 cards" is on page 56.

The paper uses Stirling's interpolation formula.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmagupta%27s_interpolation_... notes that the Indian mathematician and astronomer Brahmagupta used a second-order version of the interpolation formula to compute a sine table in the early 7th century.

The Wikipedia page links to the Stirling interpolation function description at https://archive.org/details/introductiontonu00hild_0/page/13... .

It looks like it's also called Stirling’s Central Difference Formula.

Any chance you could work this out with scipy? My numeric abilities are pretty crappy.
Why?

My impression was that the low orbits used by Starlink and similar are the best place for this since it will all naturally deorbit on short timescales.

The impact of such a tax would be to hold back the huge climb in residential / urban property prices and so funnel it into something more socially useful
