> The “crème de la crème” of people (movie stars, pop singers, professional athletes, politicians..) DO NOT want to be approached like this on the street.

The same street approach is valid online and in media.

Take Howard Stern. Controversial to many, people called him all sorts of things.

He made interviews that even back in the 90s and 00s were considered as something that didn't belong in radio.

Look at where he is now. He has Tom Brady, Kevin Durant and Hillary Clinton in his circle of people.

Because he didn't care about people considering him cringe or a "creep" or a "deviant".

You only need to win a small % of the number of people that you interact with.

Kim Kardashian is another example, many would have run for the hills in shame after the leaked sex tape but she used it to propel herself, regardless of people calling her a slut, she actually embraced the concept and owned her sluttyness.

Now she's a billionaire and going to the White House regularly

It wasn't just that Milley spoke to his staff or even to the Speaker, but he also called his counterpart in China to warn them[1]. This is at minimum coup-like, but arguably more treason-like.

This makes no sense. We don't know what the future of Bitcoin's market cap is going to do. That's why it is speculation.

Personally, I don't see the point of holding any cryptocurrency I own.

Data brokers have been building detailed personal profiles of everyone for fifty years. The Googles are just the new kids at the party. A major reason we don't have strong data privacy law is to protect this business model and maintain the surveillance apparatus it enables.

There's a form of reputation arbitrage where when there's a lot of demand, a reputable contractor just says yes to everyone with a project and then subcontracts out to the not-so-reputable contractors that the customer doesn't want to touch. We ran into this with our solar installer - they came with great reviews from 2 coworkers, and all their other reviews up until about a month or two before our project were great, and when we actually got folks who worked for the company out they were pretty good. But then they took our money and subcontracted it out to some roofers who drilled through our roof, even after the salesguy (who I later learned was also a subcontractor, and seemingly trying to screw the CEO) explicitly told me they wouldn't subcontract it.

I figure this is the brick & mortar equivalent of an exit scam, or a tech startup's "incredible journey". Build up lots of good will over several years and then blow it all as you collect enough money to retire and never deal with people again.
Where do you get that from, and what would be the technical basis?
Work for them? Quit.
Use them? Don't.

They and their ecosystem are individually toxic and societally destructive; they are bad for innovation, bad for the marketplace, and most of all, bad for the humans caught in their sociopathic pursuit of money via "engagement" at all and every cost.

This week alone the number of truly damning stories is infuriating, yet these are now some continual and commonplace, that it is hard to keep track of the myriad flavors of abuse, deceit, deception, double-dealing, and outright lies, including to putative oversight e.g. the US Congress.

If you work for or with them, you should take a hard look at the real costs and consequences, and see if you find your soul in order.

Abuse and parasitism at the expense of the common good and of individual lives and wellbeing is real, literal evil;

and you don't need to believe in the divine to know that doing evil has a cost.

Get off the ecosystem and work against it.
It’s a bit like saying “but getting to the moon is just a bit of metal and fuel”.

Execution is everything. And there are no guarantees when it comes to execution. That’s what the cost of acquiring an otherwise “simple” business is: the cost to guarantee successful execution of a business/product plan.
> Please continue to ignore that the whole economy is a house of cards, with the recurrent crisis every few years where taxpayers have to bailout the same people. It seems very sustainable.

What bailouts are you talking about? The only ones that come to mind are the 2008 financial crisis and covid. The latter seems less "the whole economy is a house of cards" and more "we had to shut down the economy for several months".

Also, how is this related to the original comment about offshoring being unreasonable? It looks like you saw a "the economy is bad" post and wanted to chime in with your own "the economy is bad" thoughts.

>Companies have to stop working because the supply chain is a mess?

or you know, covid.
what context am I missing for mentioning Japan in this context?

I tried a few searches.

<<javascript pipe syntax>>: none of the search results appeared to have anything to do with Javascript pipe syntax. (Which doesn't exist yet, but it's under discussion.) Google gives a bunch of highly-relevant results.

<<hans reichenbach relativity>>: first result is a list of books about relativity, one of which is Reichenbach's "Philosophy of space and time"; good, but there's no real information there. Second is about Reichenbach but nothing to do with relativity or even, really, philosophy of science. Third is about philosophy of science and mentions some of Reichenbach's work but not related to relativity. Fourth mentions Reichenbach's "Philosophy of space and time" as part of a list of books relevant to a seminar on "time and eternity". None of this is bad, but it's not great either. Google gives a couple of online philosophy encyclopaedia entries, then a journal article on "Hans Reichenbach's relativity of geometry", then the Wikipedia article on Reichenbach ... much more informative.

<<luna lovegood actress>>: I thought this would be an easy one. It was easy for Google, which gave me her name in large friendly letters at the top, then her IMDB entry, and a bunch of other relevant things. Literally nothing in the Marginalia results was relevant to the query.

I guess maybe popular culture is just too monetizable, so no one is going to write about it on the sites that Marginalia crawls? Let's try some slightly less popular culture.

<<wilde "a handbag">>: First result is kinda-relevant but weird: it's about a musical adaptation of The Importance of Being Earnest. It doesn't mention that famous line from the play, but one of the numbers in the musical has the words "a handbag" in the title. Second result is a review of a CD of musicals, including the same work. Third is a bunch of short reviews of theatrical items from the Buxton Festival Fringe, one of which is a three-man adaptation of TIOBE. Next four are 100% irrelevant. Next is a list of names of plays. Last one is actually relevant; it's an article about "Lady Bracknell through the decades". Google puts that one first (after, sigh, a bunch of YouTube videos which look as if they might actually be relevant).

I really like the idea of this, and many of the things it turns up look like they might be interesting, but it isn't doing very well at producing results that are actually relevant to the thing being searched for.
What I found in TeX is that when I was stuck with how to do that? in the 99% of the times somebody had faced and solved the same problem before, not matter how extravagant. Do you want that? sure. Do this. So there is a possible solution for it that does not need to start doing microsurgery with the extra-arcane parts of the language. There was several very good books about Latex also. Is not easy always but definitely is doable.

Lisp is like being over a small table really drunk in the middle of the oceanic storm. The points of reference are moving all the time and the documentation system basically hates you.
There's no evidence that boosters actually need to be tweaked for delta.

Boosters produce much broader neutralizing activity, including neutralizing antibodies that are effective (in vitro) against SARS-1 and MERS.

The immune system is designed to be a fuzzy matcher, and the boosters seem to kick broad production of antibodies into gear.

If possible explanations involving the evolutionary psychology of the immune system appeal to you (yes i'm a bit sarcastic there) then it appears that broad immunity is expensive to the immune system, and if you only encounter a virus once then you get a narrower immune response under the assumption that it may be a one-time-thing. But if you get hit with two bad infections in the same year (with sufficient separation between them) your immune system gets the message that you're going to be seeing a lot more of this virus in the future so it goes all "okay, fuck you and your entire family" on the virus.
That is app specific behavior and probably working as intended from the OS point of view. OS prioritizes the UI and background apps are even stopped, if they are poorly implemented. This is not the fault of missing RAM, instead app developers should know what OS does in these situations and reload the situation from the cache, not from the RAM, depending on their implementation and needs.

Thanks for reading! I think rendering vehicles following each other would still require asking the simulation for positions, unless you replicate the logic in the "Exact positions" section. How would multiplayer synchronization factor in? That's an issue when multiple different clients in a network are all sending input to move something. Here we just have a single thread on one machine running the simulation. The simulation state could be broadcast over a network and rendered elsewhere, and there's still not any synchronization problems, because there's one source of truth.
I'm being a bit 'tongue in cheek' with this... you mean like... ABET or NCEES, which handles the FE, EIT, and PE 'tests'?

Also, ABET already accredits Software Engineering and IT programs; and NCEES has had a Software Engineering PE in the works for the last couple years (I haven't checked recently, but iirc it was slated for release in 2022(?)).

Toy problems seem to exist in pretty much any technical discipline, but it seems most acute in the software world; and I've come to suspect that it's accessibility to making those. Code is quick and human-centric technical item, where as something like a bridge rectifier, amps, fets, and PID controllers aren't necessarily items you can just 'pull out' in an interview; you can see if someone's comfortable with CAD programs, you can see if someone has the chops to understand when a BJT is more appropriate than a MOSFET; but you can't really do that quickly as a 'whiteboarding session' so other technical fields are required to be more selective since you can't just slap out a FET configuration for a D Class amp without spec sheets, requirement gathering, probably CAD design, and other design steps; but you can sure-as-shit slap out a MVP of a SPA customer portal without any of that.

Divorcing "coding" as the act of writing code, and "coding" as the mental process of building a well designed app/system would bring the software world into better alignment with a lot of the rest of the engineering world; and would make something like a SWE PE more viable in the first place. I also don't know if you've ever sat a PE, but they're also __OPEN_BOOK__, since we know that it's a lot of knowledge to have in your head, and it's a better test if you know where to look something up and how to use the right tools (kinda like a 'take-home' exam in software interviews, but not nearly as exploitable and scummy); bring your reference material, but so much ground is covered that if you don't know your stuff, you're failing the PE no matter how many reference books you bring along.

I have a little hack to fight loneliness; shitposting on HN. Quirky comments get the party started with these elitist HN types.
This is super interesting, and something I’ve been thinking about from a different (non-game) angle: build tools. It’s cool that ESBuild/SWC (and coming soon Bun[1]) exist as fast native compilers. But most of the rest of the JS tooling world is written in JS, and often performs expensive (and frequently redundant) parsing to AST.

This code is often very static, its biggest performance hit is usually cold start before the JIT. And it’s increasingly common that the code is written in TypeScript, which has tons of static analysis potential.

It would make a ton of sense to have a generalized AOT compiler for these tools. And it would be good for the ecosystem, allowing higher build performance overall while preserving portability between underlying bundlers.

I know there’s a get in touch section (which I’ll avail myself of), but if the author’s reading I’d be curious if this is a use case you’re considering.

This is blind trust, you are relying spotting wrong doing after it happens, at which point you would already be compromised.
Congratulations.
Truly impressive search results.
I tried two, one word searches. The results were interesting, useful, and would have been impossible (well, really really hard) to find, on standard search engines. Plus, no garbage, ads, recommendations, etc etc.
As another commenter suggested, it is what World Wide Web searches results were like, twenty years ago!
Around that time there were a ton of battery recalls for phones nowhere near the end of their life - mine was one.

I think they just got a bad batch of batteries or were too aggressive cost optimizing and this was the fix. 5&6 era iPhones never had this problem and their batteries degraded just the same.
Somehow gas pumps get repaired/maintained in the "middle of nowhere" today. Eventually the economic incentives will align that that the charger networks get maintained no matter where they are.

Arguably it should be far easier to get those economic incentives aligned as chargers are far simpler mechanically (they are just plug sockets with weird over-engineered male adapters) and most of what breaks on them is either vandalism or a small subset of existing problems of gas pumps: credit card reader malfunctions, display/screen problems, internet connectivity issues for account management/credit card transactions. (All the human UX points of contact.)

> Once EVs stop competing on range so much, it'll make sense to just designate the last 10% of battery as "reserve" and not count it in the battery level indicator.

Most already do (even while still competing for range) because it's a battery maintenance requirement. Li-Ion cells generally don't like being 100% full, especially not for long periods of time, and sometimes have a preferred "directionality" (ie, a cell should only be charging until it hits 100% and then you can draw from it and vice versa once you start drawing from the cell you should keep doing so until it hits 0%) so battery controllers already have to do a bunch of math to keep a "reserve" so that they don't violate "directionality" (you always want cells in the "charging" direction available even while driving for regenerative braking storage, for instance) and don't generally hit 100% charge for long rest periods, but instead 95% or so.
There certainly is academic research that touches on these topics. Honestly, I'm sure the academics are moving faster than FB given that this has been a known problem for over a decade, and has only gotten worse over time.
It's not a "lot of". Only small portions of mathematics benefit from category theory. Analysis is all about getting down-and-dirty with your mathematical objects. It's pretty tiring how much category theory evangelism there is online despite being very different than actual mathematical academia.

None of these things is infertility directly, but they might be what the parent comment is thinking of. I hear of links between ejaculation and prostate health a lot, but that's usually a positive relationship. Sex therapists that I read do seem to universally deny any link between moderate to excessive masturbation and impotence. There are correlations between ED and the rise of Internet porn usage, but that also correlates with the availability of medicines to treat ED and thus the marketing of a solution to a problem.

The lithium ion battery is probably the one outlier in that it's unique to mobile electronics but old portable electronics would use dozens of non-rechargeable batteries every year.

Sure, but devices with replaceable batteries are theoretically easier to use longer. The average person buys a mobile phone every other year and discards their old ones. Practically every consumer electronic out there uses rechargeable batteries now which puts a limited lifespan on them.
An extremely hard problem . As you can read from the post, he had to approach someone directly based on what they saw about them online. This requires you to be constantly looking around and reaching out to people yourself instead of a usual job post. In other words, you have to be selling (yourself and your company) to attract a potential co-founder in general.

The challenge is that most good marketing people are either working at or running their own agency. The ones that you usually find either have no experience or are very raw which could be a gamble. Secondly, they have to really align with your vision and idea (a co-founder problem in general, not just related to marketing). All this makes it tough especially if you are bootstrapped and don't have a lot of money to play with.
A think a more acceptable approach would a system call with two arguments. Both arguments are lists of task_id, task descriptors, pids, whatever uniquely identify a task.

The first argument would be a list of tasks to be run before the syscall returns. The second argument would be a list of tasks to be run in that order (with the possibility of unlisted tasks being run between them) before the syscall returns.

This could not only replace switchTo, it also would enable scheduling from user space with a very small number of context switches. I'd call this syscall "schedule".
It was all over the news that the 2009 flu shot would have a swine flu component, and if I recall correctly it was somewhat delayed. I got mine as soon as I could. People who caught it over the summer said it really kicked their ass, the vaccine just made me a bit achey all over for a day.

Ask HN: Bose QC35 IIs – replace the battery?
My Bose QuietComfort 35 IIs are about 3 years old now, and the battery is starting to get rubbish. I get about an hour if using noise-cancelling and the microphone, 3 hours for audio only.

I contacted Bose to ask if they service them, but the answer is no. They offered a replacement I could buy (with a discount, but still more expensive than most places are selling them anyway).

But I really object to buying a new set of headphones when these ones just need a new battery.

Has anyone tried replacing the battery? I've seen a few videos, but it seems quite difficult. Since I can still use them with a cable, I'm worried about destroying them entirely.
Based on a few searches it seems to favor sites with very long passages of text. Search for a name and you get pages with massive lists of names. It quite simply isn’t very good at everyday searches. But it does bring up the point, shouldn’t I be able to tell my search engine I want results like this? It should be a feature of google I can turn on and off. It should be one of many ways to impact relevance.
Since I haven't dived fully into it I am not sure how it'll turn out, my idea with engagement context is to show users what's working for them and whats' not so they know how to do it
