10 years ago their abusive workplace culture was not nearly as well known as it is now and also the possibility of massive stock appreciation isn't as likely either given sky high valuations. I see no reason why someone would choose Amazon over a unicorn or any other FANG company which offers much better work life balance.
Great suggestions - thanks.

The information architecture of Spaces as presented in Element isn't perfect, and is at the top of the list of improvements we'd like to make as we iterate on the feature.

Releasing out of beta doesn't mean we intend to stop iterating on Spaces - it simply means we think the feature brings enough value to share it with everyone and open it up to the whole user base for feedback.
Tangentially, my last company made sophisticated routers, dissipating ~3kW of heat. We had hard drives in them for persistent logs.

There was a big problem where we needed to upgrade the fans to deal with the heat dissipation, but it was destroying the performance of the spinning disk HDDs due to the vibration of the fans.

(these were 2U devices with 5 boards: 2 control-plane boards (1 active, 1 on stand-by for redundancy) & 3 data-plane boards (2 active, 1 stand-by))
A thought: be nice to recruiters. They're generally nice people who are underpaid for the work they do (usually). They're in a really tough business.

And if you want a selfish take: Maybe today they're working for Amazon, but tomorrow they may be doing the same job at your dream company. They have too many people to try reaching out to, and they may remember your name.
I’m curious what read and write request prices will be.

Like egress pricing, S3 starting at $5/million writes and $0.40 per million reads feels excessive.
If the company has benefits that are available, they should definitely point the employee to them. That is just the humane thing to do in my view. When I had a death in my family a few years ago, I filed to use vacation time, and my boss rejected it, because the company had bereavement leave (I didn't know about it.) That was the right thing to do, because it helped me take advantage of all the available benefits.

And of course, if companies provide these benefits, that is good, especially since they are absent from our broader safety net. But keeping benefits tied to employment has a lot of downsides, and we should try to move away from that.

Not with the bozos in charge of Alberta and Ontario.

I _believe_ that Québec _offered_ Ontario parts of its app (the backend medical systems part would require something different) and our chuckleheads said “nah; we can build this in less than 90 days” (it took Québec ~4 months).
Manitoba has had a system in place for several weeks. It's simple: the QR code is just a URL that exposes a yes/no and the person's name to be matched against photo ID.

The person scanning has to download the (free) official app to avoid someone setting up a copycat site, but that's trivial.
You can't just have AC when it comes to industrial cooling. You have to have chillers connected to cooling towers and those work on evaporative cooling. Feel free to debate all day on this though...I literally run the department in charge of it at a semiconductor manufacturing plant.

Here is proof, it's just some of the cooling towers at Intel's current site in Chandler:

I agree with what you're saying too, and the problem needs to be attacked from every angle it can be.

However, referencing a completely different law kind of makes my point. Straight "kidnapping" and "false imprisonment" would be the appropriate charges. Yet the corrupt cop is still allowed to hide behind their nominal position, despite deliberately acting outside its authority.

When I wrote my comment I was thinking of the TSA, which has done many things that were later slapped down by the court, but with no punishment for having violated the law for so long. Because despite being illegal, their actions were "policy" and thus apparently every crime they already committed is let slide.

If the problem were just corrupt prosecutors, then we would expect to still see plenty of civil suits - individuals can still sue on their own. Yet if you ask an attorney about doing so, they'll just laugh. And even when the situation is serious enough to warrant a civil suit, it's still the city getting sued rather than the person who happens to be employed as an officer. The equivalent in the tech world would be cracking as a hobby, and when caught passing the responsibility off to your employer because you were using your work-provided laptop. But obviously that doesn't fly in the private sector.
These engines (ramjets, including scramjets - the 'sc' means supersonic combustion, which is the hard part) rely on forward airspeed to compress the air as it enters the engine. You can't have a ramjet without some sort of booster stage (or non-ramjet mode of operation).

In this case, there's probably a conventional rocket engine to get it up to speed, which is then sustained by the (sc)ramjet engine.
There's a sort of fuzzy line betwwwn high supersonic and hypersonic, but the secret sauce that definitely separates them - and the hardest part by far - is supersonic combustion in the scramjet. You basically have to figure out how to make something sit still long enough to impart a thrust impulse, while at the same time sitting in an airstream that's starting to act like a cutting laser. Very little tech data from working scramjet shots have been made public, but it's likely the most successful use some kind of incredible heat exchange system to take at least some of the energy out of the flow. Maybe pipe it into the fuel.

The Skylon / Sabre engine justa went "fuck it" and liquified the air at lower speeds, then transitioned to liquified oxidizer like a rocket when hypersonic time came around. If that sounds like some kind of miracle heat exchanger that's because it is. It's not been worked out.

Pulse Detonation is something I always wondered why we didn't see more of it, but apparently when you make a PDE big enough it hammers the plane apart like an infant with a frying pan. Who knew?
Can anybody explain the mechanism behind this workaround?

I guess that refers to portables, but even then. Do these monitors draw too much power?
I'm not holding my breath, either, but I'm happy to bring the rebar.
You don't give your kids toys which fall apart and your dish is not losing 1% of its mass with your every meal. So I'm asking how much is it losing? How many grams of your dish may stay on your food? From a quick look carrot has like 0.1mg/kg with up to 10mg/kg of lead [1][2]. We just eat it and give it to babies so they're healthy.

So how much mass does a toy or a dish lose and how much of it ends up in somebody's mouth?

Based on the data above if you ate 10g of your 5000ppm dish that seems equivalent to 5kg of carrots. And I do love to make a carrot juice, that's like a few servings. 10g of dish seems like a lot to swallow.

I'm just trying to explain my lack of understanding here. I have just learned about these measurements and I'm clueless about the topic.

XSplit was pretty good feature-wise in ~2013/2014 - I don't think OBS would be as feature-rich if not for Xsplit. The only other software I can recall which was an alternative to Xsplit was Wirecast - but it very expensive for small-time streamers (like ~$400 or so?), and had pretty high hardware specs.

Definitely agree with you regarding the plugin ecosystem, it's a key reason why OBS was able to explode in popularity - and many popular plugin features have been merged into the main app over time.
Or better yet, do away with these "platform owners" by using decentralized technologies.

Does uBlock Origin have a lot more customisable power user features? Yes. Are they relevant to the majority of users who want to be able to enable an ad blocker and get great results without a lot of fuss? Probably not.

Does uBlock Origin also use a slow, memory and performance inefficient means of blocking ads? Yes.

Does uBlock Origin also use ad blocking ruleset that have thousands of obsolete rules that are rarely pruned, leading to the complaints that Safari only supported 50,000 rules in a single extension? Yes.

There's a lot of Pros and Cons with different products. uBlock Origin has a lot of Pros for certain types of users and it's a fantastic tool – but it's approach to ad blocking is becoming legacy at this stage. They should be planning to re-architect their approach to suit a more modern, privacy focused API that is supported by the two biggest browser makers.

We launched Transistor.fm three years ago with a Show HN [0].

The company's gone on to do better than we could have dreamed. We're profitable, paying ourselves well, have hired two people, and have a pretty calm existence (during the pandemic we averaged 25 hours per week).

Three things that helped:

1. Self-funding meant we needed to get to profitability as quick as possible.

2. We targeted a market we understood, where there was demonstrated demand. We weren't trying to invent a new category.

3. Having a co-founder (Jon). We had complimentary strengths (full stack dev for him, marketing and sales for me) that really helped us run fast.

You can also run regular docker with vagrant instead of Docker Desktop. This seems to be the way you can replace Docker Desktop with Podman: https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/replace-docker-podman-macos

There was Kitematic for Docker, I think it was independent, but it's owned by Docker now and they shut it down. https://github.com/docker/kitematic
All economic goods experience production pressures when their replacement costs are lower than their market prices. When the marginal production costs of a money is effectively 0 and the market price for new money is >0 (Seigniorage), the long term supply will tend towards infinity. Hence money systems have developed with competitive Seigniorage; e.g. producing marginally more money is in direct competition acquiring the money from a private owner (bitcoin).
Could be, but it's not my problem. If they can't be bothered to paste the right link or a relevant snippet, I'm not going to do their work for them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I suggest to use constant quality encoding instead of a constant bitrate, this way encoder will automatically adapt bitrate for a particular scene. This is a much better approach, it will give you better quality and a smaller file at the same time.

For example, encoder might choose 1Mbps bitrate for a scene which is mostly static and 20Mbps for a part of the video with a lot of movement. Your 8Mbps constant bitrate will be an overkill for the first scene and too low for the second. Let encoder decide the optimal bitrate.

Rail travel in Europe is a national phenomena because it is heavily subsidized, and different nations are willing to spend more than others on their rail system, so don't expect a unified experience as you cross borders in terms of either quality, track maintenance, on-time performance, or comfort. Paricularly as you cross from West to East you will see a big difference.

Are you serious? Where did I say this was a good idea? As for an example, I don’t know, Red Hat Enterprise Linux? They charge $349 with no support for a single license.
1st point is whataboutism, that still doesn't mean the US provoked the attack.

2nd point was in like 1860, 80 years prior, and no one is advocating that it was a good thing.

Those are two very weak points if you're trying to make the case that the US "provoked" the attack.
Pretty easy to make $5 back with an in any way effective scam extension I assume.

It’s still not great from a privacy perspective. Date of birth, names, and granular details on vaccinations are cleartext, among other things.

It’s not that terrible compared to what’s out there and falls in the “trivial” category (which is not necessarily a negative; less complexity is good) but it’s far from ideal and it’d have to improve before pushing it globally.
It's so funny to me that HN is so skeptical of technology sometimes. Why build the internet when you get all the information you need at the local library? Why have cars when my horse provides companionship and transportation at the same time?

To answer the question though, since Apple Pay now works almost everywhere, my ID is one of the only cards I still need to carry. If I had a digital ID, I don't think I'd need to carry a wallet anymore.

In subsonic flight, the air behaves as if it's incompressible (like a liquid).

In transonic flight, some parts of the airflow are starting to become supersonic, and compressibility starts to become a factor. Something called "wave drag" is important in this regime, as the compression wave is moving along with the aircraft.

In supersonic flow, compressibility of the air becomes the main thing and the flow is defined by the positions of the various shock waves. Ramjet engines work in this regime (the aircraft is moving fast enough that the forward movement is enough to compress the incoming air to the engine, without compressor blades). In a conventional ramjet engine, the flow within the engine is subsonic (the compressed air, being more dense, moves more slowly within the engine), so combustion works the usual way.

In hypersonic flow, temperatures are getting very high (air is heated by compression). Scramjet engines become a thing (the "SC" is for supersonic combustion: air flowing through the combustion stage at supersonic speed).

I agree with all this. Heck, I even agreed 10 years ago. I’ll only say that those people I knew seemed almost attracted to the abuse, as though they believed it would help make them wealthy. (They did all become millionaires, but you’re right that they could have done so at many other companies.)
Having run a platform of a million or so of those, this is somewhat true. But there were spammers posting across many communities and those where the mods left got littered. We had to set forums to automatically move to require moderator approval to post which at least saved the board in history, but was a pain for a moderator if they returned.
From what I've seen in all these Podman articles, I've come to the same conclusion as you.

This is how Podman fits in:

Podman (and its various components) can replace everything but parts of Docker Desktop, namely the GUI that Docker Desktop, has. For everything else, it has it's own Docker compatible CLI, an optional daemon (by default it's daemonless), there is no containerd component as it communicates directly to any OCI compatible runtime. They've also implemented their own OCI compatible runtime, crun, which is supposed to be faster than runc, and more lightweight.

I suppose for the average Joe/Jane this probably doesn't matter. They want to run a few commands the first time around to set up, and then do "start/stop/remove my container" and that's all they want to do.

Amazon still pays better than a lot of companies. If you are choosing between Google and Amazon, yea, it's pretty much an easy decision, if you are choosing between some mid-sized B2B tech company and Amazon, not so easy a decision any more (or it is and it's tilted in Amazon's favor).
It sounds like Second Life lived long enough to build content moderation, pushed the work of content moderation onto its users, and in a hilarious psychological trick worthy of machiavelli, made the users think they own a piece of something (they don't) so that what other users do on "your" land is up to you. My job would also love if I paid them to work there instead of the other way around.

The Internet must be heavily censored to be suitable for mainstream consumption and the tools described make Second Life sound like no exception.

It is, instead, the self-styled capital of Transnistria — the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, to give its proper name — a breakaway republic on the left bank of the Dniester river, a 25-mile wide sliver of land with its own currency (the Transnistrian ruble), its own flag (red and green, with a hammer and sickle) and its own government (the Supreme Soviet).

smart, we should also implement controls in the west, we can't rely on companies inside the capitalism system to do what is right for the people at large, if companies can get away with selling heroin to children, they will do so. The big problem these days is (software) companies essentially hijacking the primitive brain centers for pleasure, fear, attention etc... and commoditizing them.
Yes as is the general historian consensus around the world. There are some that try to make a case that the US also had done bad things, like force open Japan's ports 80 years prior, and then stopped trading oil and airplanes to Japan, as "provoking" a bombing attack. However these are probably the same people that think Russia is being "provoked" into invading other countries...

Essentially though, Japan had imperial ambitions across most of East and Southeast Asia, knew the US wouldn't allow them much more conquest, and miscalculated that attacking first would be the best chess move to negotiate and secure the rest of the Asian territory they wanted.

C4 model creator here ... in a nutshell, the C4 model is: 1. a hierarchical set of abstractions to describe software systems, and 2. a hierarchical set of diagrams to visualise those abstractions. Benefits include it providing teams with a lightweight common vocabulary to describe/visualise software architecture, with the resulting diagrams being "developer-friendly". It's also independent of any specific notation and tooling. My top tip is that you don't need to use all four levels ... the first two are usually sufficient for most teams.

I agree, diagrams as code is very powerful, and that would be my recommendation for teams looking for tooling ... the Structurizr DSL being the tooling that I created specifically to create multiple diagrams based upon the C4 model, in multiple output formats, from a single DSL source file. You can see a demo at https://structurizr.com/dsl and there are more details at https://structurizr.org

Some teams do like the familiarity of diagramming/modelling via a UI though, and that's where something like IcePanel fits in.
You need to account IO load as well, more bandwidth means more requests to the disks and I assume they will use mechanical HDDs for the storage, SSDs are still too expensive to support $0.015/GB. Good mechanical drive can give you up to 200 IOPS and maybe 200MB/s, so they will have to copy the data a lot to be able to increase capacity on demand. Making it free doesn't seems to be sustainable at all.
