Have you been here recently? House prices are going absolutely crazy. To the point where there needs to be come intervention or policy to limit the size of the bubble.

You're a chip designer? There may very well be movement in your area in the coming years in the EU - the EU want to build their silicon capabilities in the coming decade.
Someone using their phone will throw this off too I'm guessing...
I worked on projects in this area and honestly this isn’t far off the mark. Industry is desperate to get new materials to market faster, but after seeing the entire development chain, the scale-up is a far greater bottleneck than the generation of promising leads. You can even see some of it buried at the end of this paper - they’re using some optical property as a surrogate for catalytic activity, acknowledging that

> Catalyst testing for water oxidation is far more expensive than the optical screening from our high throughput workflow, and even though there is no known connection between the optical properties and the catalytic properties, we use the analysis of optical properties to select a small number of compositions for catalyst testing

I’m not saying these high throughput screening techniques don’t have value - they do and they have their place. They get overhyped because software companies see a potential ML application and throw their weight behind it. However the ML-based search algorithm is usually the lowest value-add to the process. Automating the characterization (the part the Caltech people did.. built a custom microscope) is the biggest de-bottleneck in this workflow.
No roadmap / plans. Contributions welcome.

You can also self-host this one very easily btw.
Surely you'll forgive us unsophisticated philistines who place more weight on non-scientific Nobel Prizes than you for having profound respect for people who have the balls to risk their own well-being to stand up to thugish, corrupt and oppressive leaders by exposing their corruption.

I also trust your intellect is able to grasp the absurdity of trying to frame Rappler, who risked her own safety to hold a leader with a track record of criminalizing journalism to account for their corruption, as an opponent of free speech.
If you say that during your interview unasked, what kind of company are you looking for?…
So if I was previously incorporated in the US, and paying taxes in the US, does anyone think that the IRS, and more importantly Congress, is going to give up that tax revenue to the UK?

Sounds like the requirement might be for the case insensitivity of the first character to only be for some platforms (eg mobile devices where autocapitalisation might have happened).

In that case this solution would have the disadvantage that it wouldn’t be platform specific.
I think these things are changing, though I hope the changes come sooner than I suspect they actually will. I know there is ongoing discussion about how to bring rules more in line with modern practice and tech, such as the explosion of interest in digital operation over the past decade or so. I doubt this will reach to authorization of fully encrypted casual comms, though some form of encryption isn't out of the question when you get into the emergency comms piece of amateur radio, which is restricted from passing certain health and welfare information over the essentially "open line" of ham radio.
Your beliefs about the value of pog stocks has little bearing on the value of pog stocks.
Covid: What do we know about China's coronavirus vaccines?
The Treaty of Versailles imposed a huge debt on Germany that could be paid only in gold or foreign currency. With its gold depleted, the German government attempted to buy foreign currency with German currency,[9] equivalent to selling German currency in exchange for payment in foreign currency, but the resulting increase in the supply of German marks on the market caused the German mark to fall rapidly in value, which greatly increased the number of marks needed to buy more foreign currency.

The biggest problem right now is the cost of the electrolysers (they need to be cheap to be driven with intermittently available renewable power), but their cost has been coming down and should continue to come down as production scales up, just as happened with wind turbines and PV.
How much nuclear waste is produced annually? Can reasonable number of Starships take it to the space?
I work with locations and addresses on an international system. They are not anywhere near as standardized as to allow this. And also at scale, you'll get things that seem like they shouldn't be addresses but are.

One of our addresses that caused trouble is literally: "The yellow sign across the street from the Seven-Eleven at <reasonable address>".

We have one address that's legally in two countries at the same time.

One address is just a whole city. Like the entirety of the city, but also it still needs to be considered a separate place from the city.

It of course depends on your use cases and etc. But I find addresses can be like storing names in a lot of contexts. i.e. Just take the bytes the user gives you and alert them if some service downstream complains, but don't require they change it to meet your requirements.

There are systems to help offer standardized addresses and you can display them as suggestions to the user. But sometimes you get a multi billion dollar company telling you "Maybe the address is legally X, but the bus stops at the yellow sign across the street, and we get 30 customers calling for refunds every week because they didn't get on the bus. So either accommodate this change or we'll need to find a new partner."

Some of the US states operates one of the biggest tax havens in the world, is the US govt going to shut them down?
House prices in the part of the UK that have decent jobs are crazy. Public services have been slashed, heavily, in the last decade. The health service has been cut so much that to get a comparable service as in Scandinavia you'd need to buy expensive private coverage.

Childcare is really expensive too (because pensioners don't need it).

Education: in the UK is really pays to send your kids to a private school.
Maybe it's because "white" people don't have white skin? I've literally never met anyone with #FFFFFF skin tone.

There's just people who think they're white and who others would identify as white.

Doesn't make them whiter...

So no, let's not give lying equal respect in grammar. Let's show the distinction and deny people who think they're white any kind of collective class recognition. If you want capitalization, here it is: people who THINK they're white.
Thank you. I too was confused by this just now - in the UK we would also call these "telephone exchanges".
But MongoDB is web scale.
I'm also following supply chain:

https://youtu.be/MoH7S_qLlIg

As energy prices spike acrossed the world we quickly understand how the current Agricultural system is not fit as greenhouses in the Netherlands are forced to reduce operations due to the parabolic inflation in natural gas.

The money printers go brrrrrrr in all countries, and having already dropped interest rates its clear by that isn't going to stop prices from rising stagflation from sliding in. The people who need money don't have enough, and there isn't anything to buy anyways, hence stocks go up.

China refuses to trade with Australia for coal and has had black outs across the country which stop animal feed processing. Pair all that with a poor couple years of harvests and it's no surprise prices on everything including food is rocketing up.

With Just-in-time supply chains jammed at most ports and empty containers in the wrong place many do not see a gentle resolution without some form of potential crisis. We must REBUILD WITH PERMACULTURE!

My video goes into more about how producing closer to consumption helps all parts of the equation.
Another case where it doesn't work is with keyboard layouts that use shift lock instead of caps lock.
This morning it just struck me how little we hear about the Chinese vaccines ( and the situation in China in general ).

So I dug up some links.
Hydrogen released into the atmosphere will mostly be turned to water by oxidation with OH radicals before it can escape. This is not entirely a good thing, as an OH radical consumed by reaction with hydrogen will not be available to react with methane -- and we want that methane scrubbed out of the atmosphere as quickly as possible.
Allowing other app stores doesn't imply that they are uncurated.

And the threat of alternative app store competition would of course also limit the censorship and abuse of power Apple/Google can pull in their app store practices.
Eating the Cloud from Outside In
"Yet spy services are increasingly using a WikiLeaks-like model of posting stolen materials online. In 2018, the Trump administration granted the CIA aggressive new secret authorities to undertake the same sort of hack-and-dump operations for which Russian intelligence has used WikiLeaks. Among other actions, the agency has used its new powers to covertly release information online about a Russian company that worked with Moscow’s spy apparatus."

https://news.yahoo.com/kidnapping-assassination-and-a-london...

So, now the CIA can use "hack-and-dump operations". So, now so when I see a big "hack-and-dump operations" with 0 results about the US, it is - at least - a bit suspicious.
You mean ICIJ is a cover for the CIA ?
Makes sense. My hobby project, a search engine, blew up (on its own) in social media a few weeks too early, at a time it was appealing but not really useful, leaving a lot of people trying it out but not many using it.

However I do honestly believe more in slow organic growth than expkosive overnight success.
I wonder what the flammability limits of hydrogen in low-ox environments is.

It's 4 and 75 in air (so hydrogen will readily ignite between 4% an 75% hydrogen in air at 1atm), and it's 4 and 94 in pure oxygen. And the good news is that there is a limiting oxygen concentration, but the bad news is it's 5% (so over 5% oxygen by volume at STP it becomes possible for hydrogen to ignite), but I could not find flammability limits at sub20.
Google routinely makes offers to people only for SRE roles even if they want another. It happened to me in 2006 and it sounds like not much changed.

SRE is an odd department inside Google because they want people with an unusually wide mix of skills. They want a lot of people who are software developers and have those skills but who also have networking, UNIX sysadmin and maths skills. The requirements and interviews are/were more intense than for regular SWE roles. My interviewers tested all of those and more. At the end even if you just want to write software you get an offer that boils down to "it's SRE or nothing" because frankly, not that many people want to do SRE work, so they have to be a bit muscular about it. Normally they point out that after a year or two you can transfer if your job performance is good enough, which is what I did.

Anyway this Watt guy sounds like he's blaming Google for not giving him a free choice of roles. That's not a demand made of any normal company. Usually it's understood that companies have particular needs and are looking to fill them.

Most competent websites I know accept general UTF8 characters like emoji perfectly fine. There are a lot of crappier websites that don't even have proper unicode support for usernames or profile descriptions out there, though, so your mileage may vary.

As far as I know, there's nothing preventing a password field from containing any valid unicode string. The problem may be IME support or servers stuck in ASCII, but the textbox itself will just work.
I find anti-nuclear "green" activists just as dangerous as anti-vaxxers. They are often the same too, easy to categorize under the larger umbrella of "anti-progress" (which funny enough means conservative).
Just that it’s less about how good my best moves are, and more about how good my worst moves are. It’s not a benefit to be able to figure out the next 5 moves in a really complex tactical position, when most games are decided by a simple tactic or hanging piece.
The problem is not the weight, but the dangers of launching. Space rockets have a comparatively bad crash record and one full with nuclear fuel breaking down in the atmosphere would wreck havoc on anything nearby (as in countries). Storing it on earth is much easier and safer.

Probably because lot of people on HN are Americans and most of them know that the US govt loves to waste trillions of dollars of taxpayer money in pointless wars.
We are assuming the evidence exists, the article says the county and state have both discontinued reporting of juvenile detention statistics.

Sure, the only evidence we have of racial targeting is anecdotal, but if we use a Bayesian approach, the fact that the party that is conducting the profiling shuts off the data that would disprove that notion, it gives us a very strong prior.
In open air the halflife of hydrogen to oxidation is just a few years, which is much faster than the timescale for hydrogen to be convected up to the homopause.
Childcare is a joke in UK (London). Super expensive. To send your kid to nursery 5 days a week you are looking at £1500-2000/m.
I understand these issues. That's precisely why a custom type seems appropriate -- it should be able to cover all the alternatives while not burdening you with the problem of storing a discriminated union as a set of disparate relations. Or, at the very least, if this approach still has some issues remaining, it should still have fewer issues than any other approach I can think of, because there's nothing you can't do with a custom type that you can do with a JSON blob. It's just that the custom type is more likely to be much more efficient for the task, and it also keep integrity checks as part of the type's implementation. And considering how often one needs to manipulate addresses in business settings, it seems a bit of a no-brainer to me that there should be some king of first-class support for addresses, just like there's for example first-class support for datetimes with time zones these days.
This reminds me of an intern project in my friends company where they stored all hashes a few hamming distance from the password, so even with typos you would get logged in.

Iirc it had a cool demo, but was never used in production.

Ask HN: Startup founders who work at home with children, how do you make it?
Hello, I am working on my startup at home. I have a child who is 20 months old. He clearly doesn't understand the fact that his father is working. Besides, he is just too cute to ignore.

I wonder anyone has similar experience. How do you deal with it?

FYI, there is no cheap coworking place in my city.

C# person here and big fan of Entity Framework (but I have used NHibernate in the past).

I find the the main benefit of ORMs is type safety. Provided you're using the ORMs to also manage your schema (which you really should if you're using an ORM), then the compiler can guard you from a whole class of mistakes. You're also able to change table and column names with trivial effort and without fear of missing updating some SQL query string somewhere and only finding out during runtime that something is wrong.

While it's possible to write LINQ which results in bad SQL, if you didn't have an ORM it would still be possible for developers to write bad SQL anyway. Either way your developers should understand SQL at least a bit and be able to use something like SQL Profiler to ensure that their queries are performant. There is no substitute for competent developers.

There is a performance overhead to Entity Framework in the way it tracks changes to objects in contexts. If you're needing to work with a lot of objects from/to a database, then for these particular use cases you can opt out of some of these convenience features to avoid the performance costs.

ORMs are an incredibly useful tool if the trade-offs make sense for your project and you know how to use them correctly. But as with any tool, if you use it inappropriately, you're going to have a bad time.
I think the standard answer to this is you really don't want to take the chance of a rocket loaded with nuclear waste crashing back down or catching fire in midair.

People can accept the occasional plane debris crashing on their house. Less so with radioactive waste.
Only if the hydrogen is very high up. Hydrogen released at ground level will almost entirely be oxidized before it can get that high.

Never heard Japan being referred to as part of western civilization before.
I used to live and work in the city and loved telling people about the dragons guarding the city borders and the often weird and funny traditions. As much as the city is a hub of corporations it's actually far from the soulless place many make it out to be, and there is lots of interesting history there if you care to look. My favorite gateway drugs to learning more about the city of London are probably CGP Grey's videos:

Because you are changing the daabase schema to introduce a stupid version field to store "normalized" passwords rather then just doing the check twice on mobile platforms.
Even mildly uncomfortable heat can effectively waste 10% or more of the time you spend in it. And that number rises pretty fast as the heat increases.

So even if you remove discomfort from the equation, it doesn't take many tens to hundreds of hours of heat to justify a £100 air conditioner that costs £0.05 an hour to run.
Co-founded a 2-person tech company in Korea while residing in the US. My co-founder is Korean living in Seoul. We started during the pandemic, with no capital, working remotely out of our homes. Now 18 months later we have modern offices in a tech district of Seoul, with 14 people working on multiple tech products and projects.

I very much agree with the commenter who described the US as a third-world country, when compared with advanced nations such as Korea (as well as other nations mentioned in this thread).

There are many reasons to back up this observation: health care system, education, culture, social values, transportation, digital infrastructure.

Korea is not a perfect country, but it is years ahead of the US in the areas that matter.

EDIT: Added clarification: After 12 months working remotely from the US, I immigrated to Korea and have not left.
I don't even know where to begin on differences. A big one is how much more orderly basically everything is, from government processes to condition of the streets. Overt politeness is more common.

People are generally more relaxed to the point that it annoyed me for years. I attribute this to the lack of any concept of 'hustle' and not being worried about dying in poverty. I think a huge amount of the American personality comes from a subconscious anxiety over how precarious we live. You're never more than 20 paces from a beer; I just had one at 11am at a fleamarket for kids clothes.

It's the least business focused place I've ever been. Many large businesses lock their doors for 2 weeks in the summer. I've had other Americans tell me directly that I'm making that up it's so shocking to them. When I worked for a Dutch company, one of their visiting engineers couldn't believe that the office was nearly empty at 1pm on Friday.

If you're the wild type, it's not the place for you. People are very mild mannered. It took a long time for me chill out, having come from a Texas party-loving town. I tell people it's a great place to be 35.
I don't know if you can say superior when Google Maps does all those, maybe bar the last one:

> Live transport times, accurate station entrances and exits (great here in London where stations can have half a dozen entrances spread out over half a square mile). Incredible walking and cycling audio instructions, which make good use of cycle paths, and provide instructions using traffic lights as landmarks (e.g. go through the next lights, then turn right).
Microsoft must be shaking in their boots! How will they ever survive a fifteen year investigation that’ll at most lead to a slap on the wrist!
But are these "many Windows programs" appropriate ways to edit code in Ć ?

It seems to me that if you say Ć program text is UTF-8 then that is an explicit encoding, and that if you feel it isn't explicit enough, an actual way to write out the encoding unambiguously is needed instead, which a BOM doesn't provide.

I am a little concerned by the wording "cito does accept files with the BOM". The BOM was chosen because it's a zero-width non-breaking character and so doesn't really mean anything, if cito thinks it means something, that's likely to be a problem elsewhere. For example if I concatenate two related Ć files, that ought to be fine, but I wonder if there's a BOM in the second file its presence in the middle of the concatenated file causes trouble.

Yes, part of the reason why I am generally excited about Scala 3 is because of the work on the theoretical underpinnings of the language on the DOT calculus.

Unfortunately I don't know much more about this other than "this is a Good Thing" and has helped/will help with dealing with edge cases in the language and the compiler, better type inference etc.

But Scala 3 still is overwhelmingly compatible with Scala 2.x (which is a required because of the tons of legacy code out there). Given that Scala 3 continues to be essentially the same language as Scala 2, the overall complexity of the language has not gone down very much even though the core of the language is now more consistent.

Put another way, the emergent complexity of the (tad more uniform) building blocks of Scala 3 still needs to be tackled by programmers.

I also want to point out that Scala 3 compilation speed is supposed to be faster but generally speaking the compiler is still slow-ish.

All in all, Scala 3 is more compelling than before. I may still adopt it in the future for a project. But I'm not as starry eyed about it than some others may be...
