You mean like how the top 10% pays 71% of the taxes and the bottom 10% are net receivers of government money?
I can relate to it. Being challenged on a core belief is an uncomfortable feeling for me. I've learned that in order to be open minded I need to pause, listen, and take as much time reflecting as I need before I respond. Oftentimes that means I bow out of a debate with "That's interesting, I hadn't thought of that before, I really want to think about that". For me, it takes a lot of discipline to not give in to the fight-or-flight reaction, and really digest something that challenges me. And I'm not always perfect at it.

Ironically, I feel like online platforms should be a better venue for that type of thing, since it's asynchronous and you don't have people in front of you awaiting your response. Obviously it doesn't tend to work that way, though.
I realize this is almost completely off-topic for the article, but I really like the way this website communicates the server's charge levels with color and indicators as a percent of the page's visible area.
> I always browse in only one of two configurations: maximized window, or two maximized in vertical split (Win+left and Win+Right key combos).

I only ever use my computer this way, except for a few floating windows like quick terminal stuff or using a file picker.

I do think a tiling window manager would be fine, I would just switch to a new desktop if I need new windows, and I wouldn't have to manage the windows manually.
> caters your Privacy Policy based on visitor IP

And this is why it's important for such legislation to apply to all citizens and permanent residents of the legislating juridiction, regardless of where they're physically or network-topologically located.
IMO it looks a bit like a spam link, the domain kind of looks like a random string. The *.pw also raised my eyebrows because I rarely see that TLD (I realize you may be from that country but that doesn't change my first impression). Can't say I know for sure why you were downvoted but I was a little hesitant to click on that link.
Yup, precisely. They buy “capacity” ie the equivalent of making an infrastructure investment. AWS does the same.

Now, AWS chooses to price their network usage as a utility, ie, you pay per unit of data transmitted. This is ridiculous for enterprise scale.

Cloudflare uses their purchased capacity as a strategic differentiator by basically letting you use as much as you want because they have so much purchased, you wouldn’t ever make a dent.

Any services behind this differentiator are what they can charge for. Like I said above, the margins in cloud are ridiculously high. This is why these companies are amongst the few in the world valued over a Trillion dollars. Throw in an upstart who has the strategic advantage and technical competence that Cloudflare has and boy, do we have a winner . The next few years will be very interesting.
And in what conceivable way is it not justified? "Project Fear" was always "Project Reality". It's just that reality is now biting for the people who voted for the leopards to eat their faces.
Just an idea, maybe the first fetch from S3 should be allowed by R2 do delete the original object from S3 too, so that eventually we're only left with two mutually exclusive sets of files (and no double storage)
>> All the extra verbosity simply obfuscates the actual intent of the code

I have a preference for verbosity in code, and I know that many people don't share my preference. That's alright - there's no exact right way to write that code. But my point was C encourages you to write code that relies on knowing secrets about specific hidden behavior in your compiler. `shl` isn't more clear than `<<`, but `wrapping_shl` and `overflowing_shl` ARE more clear, because it makes us explicitly aware of behavior that `<<` doesn't surface.

As for clarity, I agree an abstraction would be best. And Rust encourages those abstractions where C discourages them. I'd still argue that the inside of that abstraction should be the verbose version, but other than the wrapping_shl that's mostly just a style/preference thing.
Do you know what circumstantial means?

It doesn't mean "weak". It means "pertaining to circumstances".

Nearly all evidence is circumstantial.

DNA is circumstantial evidence. Fingerprints are circumstantial evidence. A smoking gun is circumstantial evidence.

Trials are based on circumstantial evidence. Hans Reiser was arrested, tried, and convicted of murdering his wife based on nothing but circumstantial evidence that a murder even occurred. They didn't even have her body.

If a lawyer would jump up and shout "Objection, evidence is circumstantial", the judge would look at them and say "Yeah, no shit, what's your actual objection?"
One might even say criminal
Surely that depends. If there was a database where you could lookup the eye color of anybody, would freedom be significantly impacted?

I imagine that publishing everybodies income would not have a significant impact on freedom even if some people would prefer to keep that data private.
Are you ready to accept liability for faulty/non-lawful compliance?
Privacy is, contrary to much discourse particular on HN or the tech circles in general, primarily a tool for the powerful. (this is why crypto-anything has always interested libertarians moire than everyone else, they correctly recognize that it is a tool to escape (fiscal) authority).

Transparency and expansion of the public sphere generally has equalizing effects, expansion of the private sphere the opposite. This is I think relevant in particular for people in the US who seek to emulate Scandinavia, because they ironically seem to be some of the biggest opponents to anything that conjures up notions of 'surveillance'.
It’s still available in 2021, that’s plenty of time to collect all relevant data.

And again I am not using it as evidence that Autopilot is better, just that it’s within the same ballpark as human drivers. Offering a significant discount bounds how bad autopilot can be.
>You could enumerate the fallacies and misunderstandings in order of appearance, then pick a tiny random number in that range and begin with that one.

Why would someone wish to do that? No one is required to disabuse you of your ignorance. Especially given the trollish comments you've plastered all over this sub.
Turns out that you can browse hacker news (and a lot of the internet) fairly well from both netsurf and mothra.

Sadly, I agree with the first half; for normal end users anyway. (Open)PGP / GNUpg are uselessly cumbersome, slow to adapt standards, useful tools that are ill-suited to the needs of most end users and have horrifically bad UI.

The second half is total bunk though, and I'd like to hear how you think that's possibly the case. Maybe there's an angle I'm missing since I don't use that platform for those things. I suspect it was just made up to see what the reactions were.
I imagine the Zodiac Killer was actually more than one person.

Of course, this was back in the time when creating attractive codewords for dangerous criminals was the norm.

Who's to say that the coded messages sent to newspapers weren't actually meant for other people involved in the activity?
So much for information compartmentalization. Does the typical engineer need access to payment details for their daily work?
Out of curiosity, how difficult is it to migrate to Scandinavia as an American? I've long felt the ideals i cherish as an American are just not the ideals of America. Maybe America isn't wrong, i'm just not American. I want:

A country which values it's citizens health and happiness in measurable, quantifiable ways.

A country which ensures it's citizens can be educated and follow their passions to financial success.

A country which allows even poor citizens to take risks like opening a business or going to school _(if you can call that a risk)_ without going into crippling debt or becoming homeless if you fail.

A country where a health emergency won't leave middle class workers in crippling debt.

A country where a job is enough to ensure you can have a roof over your head and food on the table.

Scandinavia may or may not match all of those, but that's not my point - it feels to me Americans don't want this. To me Americans value "freedom" (as ephemeral as that may be) and low taxes so heavily that the above items are nearly irrelevant if they conflict with that.

This isn't a dig at America, rather i'm simply saying maybe i need to stop voting so "lefty" and find some place more inline with myself?
Its not that they can't be explained more accessibly, its that they shouldn't.

When you talk to other practitioners its more important to be precise and succint than it is to be accessible. Just like the opposite is true when talking to the general public. Different audiences have different needs.

Some people do use excessive jargon to sound "smart" (and they are annoying). Anyone who knows what they are doing should be able to communicate in either mode depending on what the situation demands. Just because some people abuse jargon doesn't mean it doesn't have a valid place.
Don't forget Jack The Ripper!
Fusion research is fundamentally good research to pursue, and vigorously. But in terms of energy for the world, we just happen to have an already made fusion plant some 92 million miles away. Its just an engineering problem of how to get more of it's wasted energy onto the earth using space solar arrays (Only one one-billionth of the Sun's total energy output actually reaches the Earth, now, per a google search...which seems too high, honestly).
I mean, the harmful effects of regulation are much less visible then the harmful effects of what is being regulated. We don't know to what degree the GDPR has snuffed out potential small businesses.

Why will nuclear fusion scientists bother with anything other than Qplasma. Heat to electricity is separate problem.
KYC != decentralized identities. I have never heard of anyone working on an actually-decentralized system capable of proving that you are Fred, as opposed to merely rate limiting the speed at which you can create accounts (which one might argue is sufficient, but isn't KYC). It might be that you are merely misusing the term, and meant something like sybil-resistant pseudonyms?
The real numbers are a man-made axiomatic system. They were developed to make analysis mathematically rigorous to the high standards of pure mathematicians.

The real numbers are popular outside of mathematical analysis because they provide a "kitchen sink" of every number you could possibly need.

The downside is that the reals include many numbers that you don't need. The number 0.12345678910111213... is a transcendental real number, but it is not very useful for anything. It is notoriously difficult to prove that a given number is transcendental, i.e. part of the uncountable part of the reals and not the countable algebraic subset. Which is ironic because the uncountable part is infinitely larger!

I'm not suggesting that physicists should drop their Hilbert spaces. Rather that a distinction should be drawn between mathematical model and physical reality.

As for whether spacetime is countably infinitely divisible:

Infinity is big. Infinitely small implies that if you used all the atoms in the universe to write in scientific notation to write 10^-999..., that space would be more divisible than that. In fact for whatever absurdly tiny number you could think of, perhaps 1/(TREE iterated TREE(3) times) spacetime would be finer than that.

I'll admit it's possible, but I have trouble believing it.
Phew, managed to quit FB in 2009.
It sounds you're saying the article was oversimplifying complex problems because in the real world it's not so easy to just eat less/better and move more to loose weight. I think you may be missing the distinction he was making between simple and easy. I think fundamentally the problem of loosing weight is not particularly complex[1]. But for many people it is quite hard to do. We may have psychological issues with choosing the right foods, we may have other things we want or need to do instead of exercising, there could be many things that make it hard to do the things we need to to be healthy. And because it's hard for us we are vulnerable to someone selling us an 'easy' solution.

Of course, solving our psychological issues, or finding the time or willpower to exercise, or making the money to buy healthy food or the time to cook it are all different problems. And those problems can be quite complex.

1. This recent HN discussion goes into it in more detail. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28597975
Yeah, my experience with company culture, is that you can exude a positive aura. You can make the people around you less miserable. You can put gentle pressure on other parts of the org to be just a little better. This all helps. A lot. But, it wasn't until certain toxic people left or were put in their place by upper management, that the real improvements came at the places I worked. These are things you just can't control. And if the toxicity is coming from the highest levels, there's just nothing to be done but try to buffer it best you can from those around you, and find ways to let it fall off your back so you don't internalize it.

It’s really important to stem this stuff, in law, before it has even the slightest foothold to get out of hand.

I’m sure there are plenty of rational folks who could sensibly sell their left kidney to a transplant facility but we forbid it because, unchecked in any form, it will lead to corruption and exploitation of humans.

We don’t forbid private entities from paying for policing because we’re ultra flush and don’t need the money — we forbid it because once allowed it is inevitable that corruption will occur.
It was me!
In contrast, I have done none of those things, but because I have no idea if anyone else I might have otherwise connected with or known has done them, either, I've lost nothing. It's not like I have no one to tell stories to or no communities I'm a part of. I just didn't find them on Facebook. People still tell me when family or close friends die. I didn't become unreachable.
Ask HN: What are the most valuable companies with the lowest headcounts?
I thought about that too. It's could be a good solution because the challenge otherwise is going to be listing all objects in the bucket and comparing to what's in the R2 bucket, right?
I imagine it might be a hardware limitation? I couldn't find any details about where it comes from. They might be storing private keys in physical hardware; but then why does each card has to have its own private key, why not share all of it together?

It's blatantly absurd to have that much extra security for something that's fundamentally insecure anyways.
Pre-internet people subscribed to specialized periodicals. Home Power and Mother Earth News were two. Both were filled with case studies and DIY projects and the back pages had "send $5 for plans to build your own low-head hydro." I'm sure there were more publications (Stewart Brand's publications come to mind, Whole Earth Catalog and CoEvolution Quarterly for two.) The archives of Home Power (1987 - 2018) are here: https://www.homepower.com/

Popular Mechanics and other "Popular xxx" magazines are also examples. If you were lucky your local library subscribed so you could read them there (hopefully people hadn't stolen the issues or ripped pages out.)
All my friends have STEM or business degrees and I'm pretty sure I make 2-6x more than every one of them because I work at a top paying software company. I don't want to talk about that.
That's a great one, and it hits close to home. I'm a huge believer of libre software. I'm typing this response in the vim-based text editor of w3m inside a Terminology terminal on dwm. Just today I fully moved the business I manage off the StatusNet/GNU Social network plus OwnCloud which I've run for the last decade to Microsoft Teams because using AzureAD and Office365 was more efficient for everyone. I haven't changed my beliefs, but I appreciate the best solutions wherever I can find them. If a better option comes along, I'll gladly take it!
This is a terrible article. It's a PR puff piece that is virtually information-free. There's not even any mention of a new or breakthrough discovery, let alone any kind of time line or prediction of availability.
Siphon of Dem votes.
Last week, some recruiter told me the max he can pay is 75 per hour. Just for fun, I said the min I would consider is 90 (my rate is not that much). He immediately said yes. Then I found out that this was for a FAANG company, I am pretty sure he is charging much more than 90.

Point being, recruiters suck. I have no idea how much Intel pays, but I'd wager it is much more than 65, especially if they are asking for deep knowledge of the topics you mentioned.

If you can avoid recruiters, avoid them. Some of us can't, and that sucks.

Some of my delightful experiences with recruiters:

Changing my resume without my knowledge, I find out during the interview. Awkward silence between me and the interviewer.

Asking for referral fee a full six months after I was placed. My friend referred me, got the referral bonus. Six months later, this recruiter calls me up angry, asking for referral fee (why he called me instead of HR, I have no idea).

Lying (or not mentioning) about the end client, to get lower rate.

Asking for every single detail about the candidate, many of which makes zero sense. In other words, collecting as much data as possible, God knows what they use it for.

Yelling at me when I refused to take up a contract after the interview (I didn't like the place) because "You are ruining my relationship with my client"

And on and on. I know others have worse stories. I am yet to find a recruiter who genuinely cares about the people they place. It is all transaction to them, to hell with relationships and people.
All these comments seem to live in a fantastical world where money doesn't corrupt or influence behavior. Police were paid to do a job and did it to the benefit of an oil company. You can't pay a detective to investigate a family murder or sexual assault and shouldn't have to. Ostensibly that's what taxes for and what most people actually want them to do anyways.

The day we normalize companies paying for services like these is the day we normalize the things people actually like police doing getting even more de-prioritized because everyday people can't (and shouldn't) pay for it. It's like a college building a new sports stadium, suuuure they say the ticket sales will offset the cost and help the school but somehow it all gets funneled back into sports.
Counterpoint: California voted against gay marriage once upon a time, and overwhelmingly so. The popular (lack of) support was overridden by judicial activism. The rest of the country followed.
Lack of back pressure? What kind of software defect is that? I've never heard of "back pressure" in a software context.
It is pretty annoying -- to sign on to the IRS's system you pretty much need an existing debt to some private company (student loans [but not NELNET!], credit card, mortgage, etc). Apparently we can't have a government run identification service so we have to hack one out of random information from private companies.
There is no legitimate reason for Facebook, or any other social media website, to require a copy of your ID other than for purposes of renting your authentic profile to advertisers.
My issue with Mastodon is that it imitates Twitter a little too well. I keep finding people to block when looking for people to follow. The local and federated feeds are infested with spammers, self-righteous ideologues of all kinds, 4chan rejects, and bots. It just isn't worth the effort.
You and a few other responses hit on a related but distinct problem: an unmovable deadline.

In this case, the question is no longer "how long will X take" but "but what will it take for X to complete by Y." That can require aggressively cutting scope, reassigning resources, de-risking in every possible way. That's quite different than asking a developer/team "how long this will take" assuming constant resources and given scope.

Biden could force Merck to product this at cost through the Defense Production Act, but I doubt that will happen because Pharma companies are the primary advertisers of the corporate media.
People do, usually with direct links to the HN pages or to a search on hn.algolia.com - most likely it's suspicion about this new domain that's obviously linked to the account that posted it.
+1 for saaspegasus.com as well - especially if you're looking to use django. i was looking for stripe integration and chart functionality, and really needed python as it was pretty much the only language i knew.

i would say its pretty easy to use, and the examples have helped me learn React functionality. good community that provides a lot of help, and cory (creator) is very responsive when i have needed help.

i don't have any experience with the other products mentioned here, so can't be of help there. i would guess you want to figure out your language first, before deciding which template to go with.

to consider: Stripe integration can be a little complicated to tackle on your own, so if that's a big part of what you are trying to do, i would recommend using a template. not much money and billing is probably not something you want to mess up.

I don't think so, sorry. The kernel emits a few messages when an OOM is detected, including the tasks killed to free memory, but in a near-OOM probably nothing: the system is technically still working normally, though very slowly.

My father picked up smoking when he joined the Navy so that he could participate in the smoke breaks. Fortunately he managed to quit when he got out. I wager many started smoking for the same reason, and never quit.
I'm pretty sure there are substances that can match whatever addictive qualities you get from reading a screen. My best friend from high school died while detoxing from alcohol. I'm reasonably sure social media withdrawal is not physically dangerous.
I think the tech giants have warped some people's expectations of what a "mid-sized" company is. I work for a mid-sized company where we roll our own ERP system and we probably average about two clean OS installs per year across the entire development team.

Personally I've never had an issue just using encrypted containers but I'd be interested in a solution that behaved like Windows EFS while letting you define a blacklist of programs that aren't allowed to see the decrypted file content.
Can we get some more general laws to open up technologies that are used for the interchange of data? E.g. filesystems (FAT etc.), codecs (JPEG, MPEG), documents (DOC), fonts, ...
