This is obviously uninformed and likely bad advice to divest their marketing budget from presumably successful channels.

But the advice to invest more in engineering is spot-on. It’s clear that Notion went through a period of hypergrowth and likely generated a lot of tech debt, but I’m hoping they’ll pay it off over time.

In particular, as the parent comment mentions, anything involving search or autocomplete has horrible performance. There are also some questionable UX decisions that I personally find annoying, like defaulting to opening a page in a modal rather than the current window.

A good starting point for a roadmap would be the Notion subreddit. Most of the time I Google for a specific feature, the top result is a post in that subreddit requesting the feature in 2019.
It’s the quality thing - previously peopled tried to compete with the BBC by being lower brow, now they’re attacking the high brow.
I've hemmed and hawed over this as well, but I believe that sometimes software can be complete and stable and not need constant iteration. As long as they add security patches and don't remove it from Docker, I'll still default to Swarm.

My fallback, if Swarm is ever removed, is Hashicorp's Nomad. I've only used it in a hobby capacity, but is (at face value, at least) another wonderful piece of software. I've used k8s a bunch in production (including right now at my current employer) and just can't recommend it – it's a technical distraction for most teams.
Neither do I. But this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26532518 got me -4 karma.

I'd be a model prisoner.
I work at a large engineering firm. Even if you do get the big pay days it doesn't mean you can suddenly retire. You still have to put in a good 10-15 years to get reliable financial independence.

I say that in the light of that I'd much rather be working on personal projects or projects which deal in resource efficiency/conservation/telemetry, but these gigs don't pay as well.
It's tempting to look at vaccinated/unvaccinated as a perfect RCT and the unvaccinated are a control group. This clearly isn't the case. There are surely many confounders at play.

Looking at this release's underlying report they mention:

"The age-adjusted mortality rate among unvaccinated individuals was 5.00 cases per
100,000 unvaccinated population and the age-adjusted mortality rate among
vaccinated individuals was 0.33 per 100,000 vaccinated individuals for the four-week
period ending August 28, 2021."

So the difference in mortality rate is roughly ~5 in 100,000 of the population. This is a very low number. Does it obviously override any possible confounders to indicate a strong signal? Also remember this is age-adjusted. I would imagine this difference is substantially smaller for cohorts omitting the elderly. Is there a material benefit to younger reasonably healthy people? It seems the question is muddier than is typically made out.
What support is not offered now that men had in the 1950's?
The big distinguishing factor has long been Netflix's subscriber driven business model: if they're not growing in subscribers then the company appears to be "failing" or stagnant to investors/shareholders. Netflix's original productions are for retention, but moreso for getting new subscribers to boost the subscription numbers (hence their hard push into Asia).

Netflix's problem is that it doesn't have the niche of another service using the same business model, something like HBO which makes "HBO shows" (Nudity, violence, swearing, "prestige" productions). Without a distinct house style or niche aesthetic, Netflix has adopted the firehose method. Blast as much money at as many scripts as possible with the hopes that one will turn gold.

The BBC, through the licensing fee, kind of evades that business model and the ramifications of it; the BBC can choose to not aim for "hits", but for cultural content as such. Creators are free to create cultural content without a direct profit motive and that really allows the BBC to retain some very high quality documentarians, screenwriters, producers, and directors. The licensing fee is a tax, but it is a tax that keeps the profit motive from dominating media production.

The COVID-related risks around children are not to themselves, but to the families they will bring the disease home to. The benefit of administering COVID vaccines to children is not that it will significantly save their own lives, but that it will help save the lives of their older family members.

On top of that some detergents will leave a bit behind (for various reasons). All of the washers I had, have an extra 'jet dry' compartment. It adds a drop in for the last rinse cycle. Seems to bind to the stuff and clear it up by letting it wash away. So if you are getting spotty glasses after cleaning look into that.

I'm not saying what I'm doing is futile or pointless, I'm simply acknowledging the reality of how jobs work. I enrich the employer with the value I add in exchange for a wage. None of this should be romanticized or made into something it's not. It's just a job. What I do outside my job is far more rewarding and fulfilling because it's no longer primarily about making a wage to pay bills.

Depending on how the system is constructed, there's less financial incentive for it. Sure, the political arena might have some, but in theory you're supposed to try to weed those people out through the party. Nonetheless, I don't think you can characterize capitalist politicians as anything other than grifters or war mongers.
The issue is that once you add a PAT, you’ve imbued the build with your permissions. You can bound which permissions by call type (so, for example, you can make a token that can’t modify your profile info), but you can’t bound it by repository. So if you need the build to trigger write actions on one repo, now it has them for all repos.

Most of Norway's political parties have in their plans to phase in a CO2 tax of $230 per metric ton by 2030. That's not quite up to the level of the current market price of the CO2 sequestering methods that seem to plausibly work for geological timescales, but it's within the range they would likely end up in if developed.

Side note: If we acknowledge that a realistic CO2 tax is democratically unpopular - excellent! Now we're making progress, that's a real piece of data to work with. It needs to happen, there's absolutely no way around it. If it doesn't currently fly in a democracy, we need to sweeten the deal. Trying to force it through by revolutionary means is an act of desperation, let's hope we don't even have to consider it. There's a hundred ways to make it more palatable. Let's start in that end!

Paying part of the CO2 tax back to individuals is one way of bribing the electorate to do what's necessary.
Business owners absolutely can, and their fired employees are free to let everyone know about that and boycott them if they want to.

Another fan of the Korrupt FM boys! It’s not often the BBC hit jackpots like this show though, actually tell a lie, Motherland is very well done, all parents can relate! Some of their comedies of late have been really good. I can’t really say the same about Netflix. Perhaps it’s because the BBC content appeals to my British sense of humour.
Studio, laptop, internet cost money. Human relationships are free. Some hobbies are free or low cost. You would not be buying the latest gadgets, seeking out the best restaurants and visiting the 100 places you must see before you die. It's a trade off.
Putting aside my consternation that the spectator is capable of serious discussion (it recently published an article in defence of Greek neo-nazis), the fiction that until recently only the BBC could pull off "huge landmark period dramas" is simply propaganda put about by media barons wrestling with raging hard ons for Ayn Rand in their Riviera villas (eg Brideshead Revisited - ITV 1981).
I'm guessing this is more of a fun project than serious—the display on the nixie tubes won't refresh quickly enough to demonstrate the rubidium oscillator's ability to hold nanoseconds of time.

But in the case of potentially also using this board as a Stratum 1 clock (it has GPS/GNSS built in...), why would it not be as accurate as pretty much any other clock that serves up NTP time?

It would surely be a lot more accurate than any sync via NTP going over the public internet.
There's no magic number, but CoVID-19 is the most serious public health emergency in probably a century.

> we need to close everything for years on end?

Countries that properly managed the pandemic locked down hard for a few weeks, eliminated the virus, and then reopened. They've been back to normal (or something close to it) for most of the time since.
I had a similar experience. I didn't learn about message buses until I was working in a massive enterprise ecosystem.
They want their public data public, but owned. It won’t be ‘on chain’ it will be off chain but the ownership token will be ‘on chain’.

As an example, they may have their public photos in IPFS, served from their server (or shared pointers), but will have ownership rights of those photos on chain.

That is different than Instagram where Facebook owns the images.

They cannot be deplatformed which is valuable. The question is whether it’s value exceeds the value of Instagram distribution.

The scientific method presumes materialism. We cannot do non-materialistic science. It would not be science at that point.
Pea shooters will allow you to stop the US Army on home soil? They have total information awareness, tanks, space/air power, snipers, GPS bombs, etc.

Afghanistan was lost because of our tolerance of corruption and intolerance for spending money on a speck of dirt. Oppression of the US will be far more worth the money to a tyranny.

If the second amendment actually said what gun people say it does (literalist/"strict constructionalist"), then I can use these arms as well:

- grenades?

- bazookas?

- artillery?

- explosives?

- chemical weapons?

- biological weapons?

- nuclear/dirtynuke weapons?

Where are you, as an apparently ardent 2nd amendment person likely living in at least a suburban population density comfortable with allowing your fellow Americans to arm themselves with?

At somewhere along that chain, almost all non-crazy 2nd amendment people "nope out" of allowing those arms. Maybe your typical gun rights person would allow grenades, MAYBE bazookas.

Major explosives or anything else? Nope.

But you'd need to get to the chem/bio/nuke arms to have any real deterrent to the US Army.

Your pea shooter militia is a fantasy. The US army has more than cannons, horses, and muskets now.

Power users in terms of social media
With all due respect there seems to be some rhetorical sleight of hand involved in transforming the claim "we don't know about the possible long-term effects of mRNA vaccines" into the extraordinary claim you wrote. The sleight of hand consists in not acknowledging the fundamental novelty of mRNA vaccines compared to traditional vaccines, which allows you to conflate them and use the proven long-term safety of the one as an argument for the long-term safety of the other. Not everyone agrees with this conflation, because the mechanism of action is quite different.
Thanks, this is going to be a fun read. =)
The 3 months hiatus sounds like a luxury for most yes, but 35 hours a week is standard in many developed country...
Not everyone has the privilege to land a job that is interesting or fulfilling. Some people just work until their back gives out.
Just to give a different perspective, I am budgeting for a not-ascetic but also not-extravagant lifestyle (cook at home, buy nicer clothes less often, buy cars new but stick to low maintenance budget models, etc.), dual-income family, kid(s), one or two trips a year (one to travel, another to visit family), some hobbies with equipment costs, a chronic medical condition I was diagnosed with at 25 that is minimal impact right now but will almost certainly get expensive when I'm retirement age, some ongoing memberships like for state parks, etc.

Factoring in taxes, it adds up to more than I'd like but less than I would intuitively assume.
On HN I see a lot of accusations of "leftism", which seems basically synonymous with "communism", "Marxism", and "socialism" (all of which still hold currency). It's also effectively synonymous with "woke" and "SJW" and a bunch of others, all of which are used the same way as a generic insult for any kind of progressivism.

I don't think it's coming just from ancient reactionaries. They seem to be at least Gen X, and possibly younger.
Not at all. It's about attacks on rationality and free enquiry at a US public university. The modern tendency to use the word "politics" to mean "people disagreeing" is lazy, and allows people to avoid confronting, and play down, real problems.
We can eliminate viruses with current technology and current infrastructure. We've done it with several diseases already.

The vaccine "hesitant" don't have a prisoner's dilemma. They're not understanding or being misled about probabilities.

A symptomatic COVID infection has a fairly high probability of a "long haul" case and a smaller but still relatively high probability of hospitalization. It should be painfully clear that with a high infection rate the hospitalization rate is high enough to flood hospitals and cause follow-on effects like non-COVID emergencies being unable to receive proper treatment.

Waiting to gain immunity to COVID through natural exposure has a high chance of a long haul condition, hospitalization, and death. On the other hand the vaccines have a chance of side effects so low as to be effectively none. Once vaccinated the chance of breakthrough symptomatic infection is low and the chance of long haul conditions, hospitalization, and death are extremely low.

There's no dilemma about vaccines for anyone being rational. Even if you're hesitant about mRNA vaccines (despite hundreds of millions of doses with no problems) there's viral vector vaccines readily available.
You’re being downvoted but I think this is a fair question. I don’t accept this assertion as true at face value. Presumably the BBC, as with any other government-controlled revenue source, acts as some sort of patronage mechanism, and a lot of these roles exist as a jobs program rather than something the taxpayers actually extract a benefit from.

That's fine when young and healthy, but when you're older, have several recurring doctor appointments and some mild impairments, a home is a lot better.

Not saying it can't be done, after all there are nomad populations with elderly people who live on the road. But they usually have a support system that travels along, too.

It's insane to me that Apple and Amazon are making movies. How many things are companies allowed to do? They're clearly making it harder for other players in these markets, and they're leveraging their insane capital to succeed in areas they have no experience in.

It's also incredibly annoying now that there are a dozen different subscription services, each with different apps and radically different navigation UX, and many of which don't run on the same hardware.

This is insane.

BBC (and other national broadcasters) should focus on news, children's TV and maybe a small selection of cultural stuff that otherwise wouldn't have exposure. It makes no sense to compete in the commercial entertainment space.

I'm already noticing that there's stuff on streaming now that includes funding from several non-profit or national cultural organisations, I think that model can work well. I enjoy watching European or Asian productions with subtitles and get a break from the usual fare. There are huge economies of scale to be had.
> Their hybrid power trains had everything needed, they literally had power mgmt, battery, electric motors etc.

They don't have what they would need in the battery dept - and the battery is the most important part of an EV. The Prius has a NiMH battery, which has lower energy density than Li-ion and other newer chemistries.

The (non-plugin) Prius can get by with the NiMH battery because the battery is only used for regen braking energy capture and acceleration at low speeds, not for high amounts of energy storage or power output. For those it uses gasoline and the ICE engine.

Generally speaking, what killed C++/C for me is the absolute insanity that comes with it's build systems/third party dependency management.

I feel like the notoriety that C++ gets for it's absurd complexity comes not from variadic template metaprogramming/rvalue references/unique_ptr or whatever, but the absolutely humongous effort needed to understand automake/CMake/autotools just to build other people's code (god forbid on a different platform than the original author).
In most groups I find myself in, the likelier collective response would be closer to "oh my gosh, I haven't been there forever because I try to be healthy, but that sure does sound good."

I think it's the characters.

Toy Companies make characters first, and then the toys are just cheap plastic incarnations that would otherwise be worthless.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was an amazing comic book.

GI Joe was revitalized with a comic book and cartoon, the toys are the money-making add-on.

Disney's ownership of Marvel Comics is valuable because they own this creative universe can can bilk it in any number of ways for a very long time to come. They can reboot Spiderman for decades.
Ironically, if that’s the same show, “People Just Do Nothing” is on Netflix in the US.

At least they aren’t keeping all their shows behind iPlayer anymore and these shows are more available outside the UK.
If you want to save more water/have only one sink: only put a little bit of water in the sink and rinse with the tap (not constantly running of course) into the washing sink.
