Try moving from the EU to the US or from India to the EU.

The EU is very special in that it has internal free movement. Now, obviously the UK has left so it controls immigration from the EU in the same way the EU controls immigration from outside the EU.

Comparatively the UK is not bad. Try having to queue in the street from 6am and be treated like sh*t at a French 'prefecture' every year to renew your resident card...

As for hiring, in tech in the UK, even for junior positions, we have many Indians. It's not a big problem to hire from outside the UK. Again what's happening is that people got so used to how easy it was within the EU that it's a rude awakening to be treated as non-EU, on both sides of the Channel, but that does not make it "dystopian"... It's just the reality of international migration worldwide. Countries do have immigration controls.
these examples are so often named precisely because there are few others.
I've not noticed any decline in UK immigration as yet. If there is a decline and it is a problem, then the UK has the ability to address it as needed. If there is not a decline then there's not a problem.

Speaking for my own workplace the effect of brexit has been to replace European migrants with more Indian migrants, not to actually reduce migration. Unless you believe that continental Europeans have some unique ability to found startups, I'm not sure there's much to worry about.

I would say that this is intuitive. For any direction you pick, there are (n-1) orthogonal directions in nD space. It's only natural that the expected inner product drops to zero.
True to an underrecognized degree. It's a huge component of wisdom. And wisdom - which we might define as consistently well applied knowledge - is pretty ~= capacity for wealth.

More important in this day & age where big tech preys on attention in such a way that default increases emotional volatility.
It seems to me that military reactors have better safety record than commercial despite accidents. I just listed the accidents.

The safety becomes with cost and performance limit. It's hard to see how smaller nuclear reactors are significantly better than gas turbines in commercial use. The cost comes down with the size.
The mentioned "five figures" fees and the language test are peanuts. The journalists are missing the point and do not see that major industries that feed IT sector with new opportunities and contracts (such as entertainment and construction) have already made their mind and have chosen Greater London over EU cities as their primary european hub [1] [2].

I know the humiliating experience of having to apply for an american visa as a tourist, so I don't have to imagine, thank you.

And again, just because some people have it worse doesn't mean these issues don't exist. No one at my company is going "well, we suddenly lost access to a job market of 300M people, but well, people from India have it much worse so I guess it's fine".

Like, I get your point, but it's not helpful.
> Their client node software is audited though, and the contents of your packets are not accessible to the router. This is why the amount of the possible meddling is limited to a DoS, AFAICT.

Normally the coordinator just forwards the keys from your peers, and so doesn't see the contents (the traffic doesn't pass through it, and even if it did it didn't have the key).

However, that assumes that the coordinator is being truthful with the network topology that it sends you. It could send you any topology that it wants to! This means that it could start MITMing whenever it wants to by telling you that $SERVER_IP's peer is now actually $COORDINATOR_KEY at $COORDINATOR_IP.

Theoretically you could defend against this by, say, running a cronjob that validates that the Wireguard keys are unchanged. But at that point you're not really gaining much compared to just using wg-quick.

Tor is different, because the .onion domain name inherently encodes the public key of the site you're connecting to. There is no way to change the key without also changing the URLs that people connect to!
ASK HN: What is your 'partnerships funnel'?
I'm exploring partnerships between startups as a win-win way to grow.
Currently, we don't have a partnership manager, so I'm trying to move something.

I mainly look for co-marketing partnerships cause it's the only collaboration I could imagine for the moment since we're not integrable (so, I'm trying to bundle or cross-sell or pixel swap with other products thought for similar targets, etc).

The criteria I use for selecting potential partners to contact is that:
- they're at a similar scale compared to us (otherwise there will be no mutual interest probably)
- they serve a similar target

What about you? What is your partnership funnel?

How do you:
- structure partnerships? (is there a hidden world outside co-marketing?)
- select potential partners? (criteria etc)
- contact them and propose the partnership?
Have you ever worked at a large corporation?

I have, and let me tell you, they will spend dozens of hours and thousands of dollars to fight a purchase of $21. I'm really not joking.
Each of their machines is custom and needs very specialised knowledge, so it's difficult to scale up. However, VC could encourage competition, which would help keep the chip industry healthy, as we all know what happens when a company has a monopoly in an industry.
The Anti-Fan Phenomenon: Inside the online communities where people love to hate
I’m glad I’ve seemed to give you a good laugh :)

For the record I am for any and all options that can help fight off COVID-19 so long as the trade offs are reasonable and the evidence is sound.

I did look at your sources briefly, then spent more time with them after your response. FWIW I didn’t find what I saw particularly convincing. The WHO article is recommending use only in trials, the meta-analyses I clicked on were published as opinion pieces, several of the sources are press releases, and its relationship with hydroxychloroquine promotion undermines its credibility further. One table showed 2017 data from an unrelated study about the drug’s effects showing positive outcomes, but conveyed it in a way that appeared it related to COVID-19. It was interesting to see that in Peru and other instances of large-scale usage of ivermectin that there seemed to be positive outcomes, but the original authors of that study qualified that by stating there may be some correlation with masking and social distancing policies.

There is a trend in misinformation which relies upon a sort of Denial of Service attack against the world’s debunking capacity, and these FLACC sites feel like they’re using that approach.

I genuinely hope that you’re right about this drug being viable. I am sticking with health authorities on this, and struggle to believe that all of our health authorities colluding to produce WW2-style propaganda to suppress information about effective treatments.

I have moved on from Snopes.com as of a few months ago, thank you for reminding me that was in my bio. No, I didn’t work on fact-checking during my tenure there, but yes, I have pent-up hostility towards misinformation and it’s purveyors. It’s insidious and deadly, and at a certain density it becomes nearly impossible to counter.
The relation between advertising and art is a bit similar to that between war and technology.

>If a company wants to spend $x million on paying artists, I find that a worthy thing to do.

If the US army wants to spend a few million on "search and rescue" drones that might also seem like a worthy goal. But just like military money is ultimately spent to kill people (ahem, "project force"), advertising money is ultimately used to manipulate people. One could even argue that if the "technology" to do this is genuinely beautiful art, that exactly makes it worse.

I realize I'm exaggerating a bit with this comparison, I don't mean to hammer on you while you gave a helpful counterexample :)
Very cool! Nice solution to the high house prices. You get a residence for a years rent for a lot of people.

I guess it would have running water, but what about sewage. Does it have a toilet? Did you use a septic tank. Or are you directly fertilising your patch.
Saving watts means lowering fan RPM, meaning less noise. And that's a big priority for many.
Noticed the empty shelves at the supermarkets? Something to do with no one being around to drive lorries?

But ultimately, if you don't mind, that's good news to you. One thing less to worry about in a stressful world.
Cool to see you do this & mention it.

Majority of online culture's default is conversation-stopping 'moral shoulds' + binary stances.
The COVID lockdown has, if anything, improved matters. With most people staying home, the need to deal with aggression, hostility and abuse on the street is very much reduced.
thanks for the site link, did not have that as a entry on the resource list myself :)
True, but article 50 has always been part of the Treaty on European Union (TEU).

So EU citizen moving to the UK must have known on the day they decided to migrate that their entitlement to live in the UK was always subject to this caveat.

It may suck, but it was never an right that could never be revoked.
Since it's not used during winters, did you consider making it off-grid with solar power and batteries? I guess cooking would be a problem then though.
People in the EU are used to free movement. In my opinion it's one of the greatest political accomplishments of recent history.

Before Schengen, travelling across the border always carried the risk of meeting a grumpy border control agent and being subjected to abusive searches or interrogations. People not letting you past the border because they didn't find the right stamp in your passport and stuff like that.

After Schengen, all that went away and travelling within Europe has become so much nicer.

Of course people complain if you take that away again.
> Neither Docker nor Podman are suitable for mission critical stuff. Their market is entirely dev machines and devs can fix in on their own.

Pretty sure they're used for more than that.
Lots of downvoting but I mean duhh for the average app and average developer of course Rails > Erlang is this even a discussion? Anything from documentation, community size, Stackoverflow questions to libraries will be better with Rails.
Ah but the comments now say that Erlang = Elixir actually. Ok, I didn't know that.
I'd say the same thing though, Rails > Elixir for the average app. You don't need the extra complexity Elixir brings. Yes I know about Whatsapp; no you're not gonna be Whatsapp.

WTF. Why is w3.org blocking tor exit nodes? That's a recent and worrying development!
I don't necessarily agree with GP, but I think your comment is the worst-possible reading of it, as in taking it in the worst light.

> stigmatizing, patient-blaming and "just stop being depressed"

is coming from

> the symptoms are due to actual situations in your life

? Isn't that the opposite, GP is saying yes it is real, but arguing that the drugs are like spraying air freshener in a room that still contains the source of the stink?

Again, not saying I agree, I just didn't read it as stigmatising or 'just stop' at all.
If you look at what China has done with online companies like Alibaba, Didi, Tencent, etc., there seems to be a method to their madness. Essentially, China doesn't see the value in having the largest online marketplace, or the largest ride-sharing platform, or the best e-sports team.

If you look at their 5 year plan release this year, there's a huge focus on research on next generation technologies. This is a write-up about it: https://merics.org/en/short-analysis/chinas-14th-five-year-p...

Right now, games like Apex Legends, League of Legends, etc. suck up a lot of time and I think China doesn't want its youth to do that. It would rather them focus on how they can contribute as they grow older.

China has always had a heavy hand in social engineering and this is just another example. Whether it's good or not, is left to be seen.

If China finishes building their city in space and lands on Mars, while the rest of the world are watching e-sports, don't be surprised.

Trackpad mechanics is just something to get used to, just like switching to a keyboard with a different layout. Annoying/frustrating at first, after a week you can care less.

It's like the comparatively fucked up natural scrolling on macOS, when coming from windows, or whatever it's called. Your brain will accommodate.
As opposed to Erlang?
Imagine a venerable tool in the late 1990s using a screenshot of the tool in use in the late 1970s as part of its marketing campaign.
> The heretical version states the opposite. These adherents believe that Christ and Buddha (assuming for the sake of this argument that they are real, historical figures) did not teach so that they could be worshipped, they taught so that others could become like them.

That view is orthodox in mainstream Christianity (Catholic, Protestant, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox), not heretical; its a central part of the mainstream understanding of the purpose of the incarnation; that Christ is, above all, a model.
Delphi does not have the problem that it's illegal to redistribute e.g. macOS headers on a non-mac machine according to Xcode license. Likewise, until very recently the MSVC C++ standard library was under a proprietary license which you could not redistribute, only use in your own software. It's a social issue, not a technical one.
“However, to take a literal view, X is just a Y tool, and it can be used in any way that you want.”

Society would be better if people took this view with all tools. They’re just tools. Unlike people they don’t have intent.
A lot of British people living in Spain certainly have expressed a similar entitlement. And many of them voted for Brexit.
Wasn't the Thresher likely sunk by an electrical fault causing the reactor to automatically shut down, followed by an inability to blow the ballast tanks and rise to the surface?
"Docker is Updating and Extending Our Product Subscriptions"

It's plain wrong. You can't refer to yourself as Docker AND as "we"
> A max speed of ~650kb/s is just not a usable one today

What card model, how do you have it configured, and how far from the router are you? 650kb/s is not an inherent limit on any BSD, and much higher speeds are easily possible if you have supported hardware.
Deep Thoughts Engineering Speaker Series: John Carmack (2015)
Curious. Denmark has either the 2nd highest or the 4th lowest power prices in Europe depending on whether we're talking about household or non-household users.

There must be something strange going on there beyond just having wind power, that is a huge divergence. Driven mainly by taxes I see.
Not sure what you mean, but if you're envisionign something like 'doctor looking at original, doesn't think there's anything wrong, but then checks upscaled image as well, just to be sure' then that is very dangerous, as it can lead to a significant increase in unnecessary testing.

It may not be exactly as dangerous as the opposite (doctor looks at image thinks there is something suspicious, checks upscaled image to see if it's there as well), but it's still very dangerous.
For companies it's not that easy though. Employees will accumulate services and don't cancel them, will leave without leaving any info on which services were bought for what purposes etc.
Companies still need proper invoices and account for all charges. If they cannot accomplish this because employees forgot they bought services or have left without letting anyone know, the company is on the hook for it.

Having worked with procurement departments I can understand very well why employees should never be able to make purchasing decisions without someone from procurement in the loop.
Oh yes. Like the Pocket Operators. But they are accordingly cheaper.
This is what helped for me for years: I stopped having discussions regarding opinions based on fake news. I usually just tell them that I don't have an opinion on the matter and that I don't care what their opinion is. I prefer to talk about something else.

In my opinion, I think it's better not to have too many opinions in general. This is one of the few opinions I have. It seems like our brain wants to have opinions on everything. But often the topics we want to have an opinion on are much more complex than we might think they are. To form a good opinion on the topic you must be able to understand a lot of the ins and outs of the topic. That takes a lot of effort. This is what fake news (and probably also correct news) abuses. It tries to form an over-hasty, sometimes completely wrong, opinion on a topic that's very complex to understand. Most people don't take the time to understand the complexity of the topic, and therefore think that this fake news opinion is the correct opinion. For most it takes too much effort to understand exactly how it works to realize that their opinion is not correct. Or even worse, there are many topics that probably don't have a correct opinion: are their more universes, what will the weather be in 10 years, will the stock market go up or down next year? Nobody can tell, even not the experts. I think that the only way to win the argument, is not participating. Just let it pass and let the experts (who have spend their whole life on it) deal with the issue.

For example, do you understand how mRNA vaccines work? How mRNA is transferred in lipi nanoparticles where ribosomes produce viral antigens? How cytotoxic T cells and T helper cells bind to the secretory vesicles to create a viral response? I sure know that I don't understand it, and it will take me months, maybe years, of deliberate practice to understand how mRNA vaccines works. I probably need a PhD in adaptive immune systems to understand this topic completely and for a good opinion. So I decide not to form an opinion about it. I trust the experts, who spend their whole life working on mRNA vaccines, to be right. If someone else has the opinion that mRNA vaccines don't work or are dangerous, fine, they can have their opinion. It's good to be (self-)critical sometimes. But I'm not in a position to argue with them, because I'm not an expert on the matter, nor do I have the time and (probably) the brains to understand this complex topic completely.
TLDR: Based on a single simple synthetic benchmark, the low performance "Icestorm" cores were shown to be as much as 52%—or as little as 18%—of the performance of the primary "Firestorm" cores. Highly efficient assembly showed the least performance drop whereas complex "idiomatic" Swift code showed the greatest performance drop.

However the Icestorm cores also use substantially less energy so they are an efficiency win regardless. Plus they take up use significantly less physical space which is a large cost saving for the SOC part.
I don't know why I felt the urge to praise/critique your work but here we go:

I think you're doing many things right! This crowd loves discussing fundamental technologies, including languages and your posts provide a really nice basis. I like the rational, tech focused, "no BS" perspective.

I especially like that you bring in some history and the persons behind tech (in Go post), I personally fancy that and think it could even be more. I like posts/books with a ton of footnotes and references. It makes me feel like I'm exploring/discovering something for myself rather than "just" reading some persons opinion (although that is fine sometimes, just not always).

Also your blog and posts just look nice! (Mobile could be a bit better. You should maybe scale down the SVGs responsively). The monospace font is immediately familiar and screams "Hi fellow nerd!". The colors and illustrations are warm and friendly.
It's not exactly clear from the way you've written it - are you a citizen of a European country who currently lives and works in the US?

Interesting read.

Re: the former half of the blog... I know this is "obvious," but reading it just now has made all sorts of lights go on in my mind.

It's as if software projects start perfect, getting infested with bugs and problems as soon as a programmer starts programming it. Many/most of these "issues" are simply the multitude of complexities that we hadn't thought of yet.

Start with "jira-like system that emphasizes achievement and positivity." That broad idea is perfect, bug free. As soon as we put flesh on those bones it accumulates issues.. failures and failings.
What Is Striction BP?
Coronary illness is the greatest enemy of grown-ups in the United States, and it is not difficult to perceive any reason why. Heftiness has gotten basically typical, making it a trigger for heart issues and spiking cholesterol levels. These issues ought not be taken care of alone, and the vast majority set up meetings with their primary care physician. There's just such a lot of that an eating routine change can do, and Striction BP expects to assist with the rest.

There's nothing inherently contradictory about running on bare metal, and being garbage collected. As long as you can manipulate memory directly, the garbage collector could potentially be implemented in the language itself. See the Boehm[1] GC as an example of a GC implemented in C for C/C++.

that's how it's worked for me - in my last job spent 3 weeks waiting for a Qt License, Intel compiler license, MSVC license...
> Giving each application its own package directory is better

One simple way to do that is

cd projectfoo
mkdir libs
pip install -t libs
PYTHONPATH=libs python foo.py

That way you can use system packages like a database connection library together with the local application dependency farm.
I haven't noticed any empty shelves i have to say.

There's is not a labour shortage of lorry drivers. There is increased demand, reduced supply (due to a pandemic on both counts) - but plenty of people who can drive a lorry and are licensed - who don't because salary is not competitive.

If your argument was that wages were kept depressed due to cheap labour from abroad, and how terrible it is that we now have to pay lorry drivers and fruit pickers competitively, I'm not sure that's much of an argument.
