It's not really silicon valley giants that really care that you use IPv6.
They already managed to get most of their IPv4 resources for a reasonably low price.

It is new small companies that will want you to use IPv6, since they will be the ones that will be fighting over the scraps of IPv4 space left by the giants.
I've just gone back to an office (I changed jobs) and I'm shocked how maybe 5 out of 8 of my team choose regular office work over hybrid simply because of the free lunches and dinners.

Personally I find standing on a train for 45 minutes each way, and not being able to do small household errands on my breaks, like I can when I work from home, means my entire Mon-Fri is a cycle of sleep-eat-commute-work with no time to tend to anything.

It's a shock to the system.

That said, I switched rolls for twice the money, not 5%, and hybrid work will hopefully be something I can move to in a couple of months.

Since that's what total means.

If you consider commuting as labour, you’re creating an incentive for many workers to increase the distance between where they work and where they live. Something comparable has happened in Belgium with the system of company cars. A car with fuel card is considered as a standard part of the salary package, which is advantageous from a fiscal perspective. What you get is more traffic, pollution, urban sprawl and more time wasted sitting in cars.

Ecosia.org – Why their markup(HTML) seems not semantic
you say it like the gov would use their own money for all of this, in the end it's people's money and gov doesn't really care about end result, they don't really care whether you are locked at home or you go to work, because they will waste in the end your money anyway and they have zero responsibility for their decisions besides risking their political future

from what I see, politicans in most of the countries are just enjoying their power trip over people (hopefully naively) thinking they are doing the good thing (after all even many/most Nazis really believed in inferiority of Slavs/Jews and thought they are doing the good thing getting world rid of them), in worse case they are hostages of various lobby groups, especially pharma lobby trying to scare people so they can drive demand up and sell more vaccines and drugs and get finance for various research, all of this would not be possible without fight affecting you daily, if COVID would be just another flu as it should be taken (risk groups get vaxxed for their own personal benefits and don't bother anyone else pretending your vaccination is saving anyone)

sadly there is significant part of population still buying it, that they are actually doing the good thing, so since they see they still have significant support for doing it, they won't stop and they will enjoy their power trip and stripping our freedoms and basic rights, that's how totalitarian regimes started everywhere - doing the good thing
Funny enough, I worked mainly as a designer 20+ years. A lot of shared problems for truck drivers are present in the designers profession. No proper education, not adequate payment ("Dime a dozen" as someone stated here on HN), no respect.

I have found a way to circumvent all of this by creating my web company in early 2000s, but today find a little to none motivation to work as a designer. In one point in time I offered design services as a package bundled with web-development ( people still treat design as a some decoration with personal preference).

I can bring your company differentiation that will convert in a proven and very quantifiable ways.

But I won't. Living in the design UX journey, fixing things that everybody "wants" but nobody want to pay for, dealing with multiple "stakeholders" with no visual culture and common sense at all, creating thousand versions just to satisfy some subjective preferences.

Nope.

Working as a front-end engineer is way easier and monetary rewarding. You have more value, more respect, less time spend in "subjective" perception land. Things are binary. They work or don't work.

I hope, in the near future Figma, after collecting all the design "collaboration" practices to create Figma AI Designer SaaS and end this madness once for all.
I went into an office and worked in an open plan yesterday - I needed to f2f a customer and some colleagues otherwise I wouldn't have been there. The customer is now pushing one day a week for workers, which won't apply to me but meant that there were a bunch of other people in the working space.

I hated it, I did very little, I had a conference call I needed to take and it was a bad experience because of the office noise. Other people were doing conference calls too. This was (I thought to myself) what life pre-pandemic was like - not very sensible.
Forgive me, but is steno relevant going forward? Would recording audio and NLP be more effective?

"He also admitted to plotting a number of other crimes with Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, notably by wearing a suicide vest in a failed effort in 2002 to assassinate the president of Pakistan at the time, Pervez Musharraf, a U.S. ally in the war on terrorism."

Wow. It turns out the guy being tortured confessed to a lot of crimes. What are the odds of that?

I find stories like this so frustrating because we in the public are seemingly powerless in response to them. If the allegations of torture are true, it's the kind of the CIA and/or White House officials should hang for. And yet, there will be no consequences for the criminals who ordered this torture and countless others like it. Infuriating.

I will admit I haven't checked very recently, but when I was looking earlier in the year, Sony's offerings were a good bit more expensive than Samsung or LG for an equivalent panel and lacked some features important to me like VRR.

Plus, doesn't Android TV have ads anyway? I haven't used it extensively but a quick search seems to suggest it does.
Tests can fail for a multitude of "flakey" reasons, that aren't due to 'source code' changes.

- Network connections failed

- Run out of memory

- Duration timeouts

- Setting up the test infrastructure failed

All these can contribute to flakiness, and could be detected and reported by a bot like this. Making this a useful idea!

Due process also involves a right to be heard, and the right of a society to hear the proceedings, testimony, and evidence. In this case, it puts some damning testimony on record that can be referenced in other cases, preventing the cia from abusing privileges of classification to hide excessive behaviors and crimes.

Actually, regarding shells, the POSIX people pretend that it is still 1988.

The POSIX shell is the Bourne shell (1979) plus half of the innovations brought by ksh88.

The other half of the improvements from ksh88 and all of the improvements from ksh93 are not included in the POSIX shell standard.

Also for POSIX compliant shells one must not forget that also the other programs invoked by the shell must not be used with non-POSIX options.

For example, in a bash script I used the ksh93 syntax:

${VARIABLE:64:32}

Then I wanted to make it POSIX compliant and I rewrote it in the longer:

$(expr substr "${VARIABLE}" 65 32)

But then I discovered that POSIX expr lacks substr, so I had to rewrite the expression into the even longer:

$(awk -v s="${VARIABLE}" 'BEGIN {print substr(s, 65, 32)}')

which is the only POSIX compliant way to extract substrings.

In most cases the rational way is to write scripts for bash or zsh, which include all the ksh93 features plus brace expansion (from csh, then enhanced by zsh).

Writing POSIX compliant scripts results in much longer scripts in which the chances of bugs are much higher.
Yeah this is straight up propaganda. Anyone who goes to the homepage for this site can see that it's clearly not aligned with the truth, as a pro-fossil fuels propaganda journal.

It's shocking how many other comments in this HN thread will just believe anything they read in this piece...
This problem will solve itself in the next few years when China retakes Taiwan. There's not a whole lot anyone can do about that, although I predict quite a bit of saber rattling. Open warfare is not an option (China has nukes), and "sanctions" are self-defeating, since we import far too much. If they leave an "out" (which they'd be wise to leave) the US establishment will take it, although the rhetoric will be quite severe I'm sure.

Indeed re-shoring high end silicon is an unambiguous bet on exactly this eventuality - there'd be no reason to spend the billions otherwise.
But honestly is it much different than these new ultra-fast grocery delivery services? Those drivers aren't given a second to breath
> For a realistic-sized problem, if you write solutions in C and Python with the same amount of effort from equally skilled programmers, the Python version will almost certainly be faster, because they'll have had a lot more time available to spend prototyping and picking good algorithms rather than debugging undefined behaviour because they used the wrong combination of integer bit lengths.

I think this is more nuanced than that. Competitive programming actually gives fairly good insight here, because skilled programmers are placed under time constraints and obviously care about performance.

What you see, usually, is that programs that don't need maximum performance are often written in Python, which allows people to quickly write code that needs less debugging. But double the allotted time and the C programmer finally has their code finished and free of bugs, and they're beating the pants off of your Python code right out of the gate. You try and come up with clever ways to avoid copies and drive down the Big-O, but the C programmer comes up with the same thing just a bit behind you and leads most of the time because they get a free 10x speedup just because of the language they're using.

It's not surprising that the highest levels of competitive programming are dominated by C (and to a greater extent, C++) programmers, with Python use extremely rare, almost always reserved for rare, complicated algorithms that happen to bring a significant big-O improvement that justify the use of Python to write them.

Interestingly, the United Nations Human Rights Office's has quite the opposite opinion regarding the Evron vs. Donziger case (the one in the US that lead to Donziger's house arrest) [1].

"The Working Group recalls that it is inherent to the proper exercise of judicial power
that it be exercised by an authority that is independent, objective and impartial in relation to
the issues dealt with, as asserted by the Human Rights Committee in relation to article 9 (3)
of the Covenant. In the present case, the Working Group is of the view that Judge P did not
act in a manner which was independent, objective and impartial in relation to Mr. Donziger’s
case. Consequently, the Working Group concludes that the imposition of pretrial detention
upon Mr. Donziger was in violation of article 9 (3) of the Covenant.

Your "Costs" seem to be assuming that physics and zoning laws don't exist. Some REIT who owns a few dozen properties isn't going to be able to merge those into one mega-rental priced 36x higher.

The rental properties will still exist and either some other REIT start-ups will buy them or their price will drop enough that it becomes feasible for would-be-renters to buy them.

It's maybe possible that your assumptions of Judge-Dredd style mega cities are true but I seriously doubt it.

Regarding remote landlords buying property in the US, I'm really not sure at all how this results in a "class of really remote landlords". They would be subject to the same rules and it's not in any way "illegal to be a landlord in your own nation"

As far as benefits,

>Well, someone who owns 2 apartment buildings, their own mansion, and 100 million in equities will now own 0 apartment buildings, 1 rental mansion, their own mansion, and 150 million in equities. How is this a better world? And here, I am assuming full compliance.

The 2 apartment buildings still exist and as far as their inhabitants are concerned the only thing that changes is the owner becomes more likely to give a shit about the property.

I really don't understand how you could possibly see this as "symbolic" unless you don't assume "full compliance". You have to pick one. Either the law exists with compliance and things change or it doesn't exist/has no compliance and is just symbolic.
> The easiest and most reliable way to expose a computer on the internet now is those services which work something like a VPN where they have an ip address and route everything sent to it over to you via WireGuard or similar.

I highly doubt that the metaverse thing (VR ad mass market or whatever) can work out economically. Therefore I read the Meta rebrand as an enormous personal hybris project, "I've succeeded before and I'll succeed again (and this time even if I fail I'll still have more money than I can ever spend)". The intentions are all late 20th sci-fi dreams, fully in line with what an idealized Carmack might like.

From that tech dream perspective, which I assume they both share, the Facebook way of making money while chasing those dreams is just circumstantial details. For both of them. I'd expect those two to get along excellently. One of them is now basically renaming his life's work out of admiration for what the other can do, and the other is probably not infinitely immune to flattery.

I don't think that the heat shield is the same as the shuttle's. The tiles are tougher and attached in a different way, and the underlying steel structure can stand more heat than the shuttle's aluminum could.

Orbital refueling is required for HLS and depends on rapid turnaround so SpaceX and NASA must have some confidence that it can be achieved without a radical redesign.
There was once a really nice open source cross-platform framework called Apportable that provided an Obj-C compatibility layer on Android. You could develop your app on iOS and then last moment build it on Android with some minimal changes. I tried it for one of my projects and it worked just great.

Guess what happened to Apportable? It was quietly acquired by Google and completely shut down within days, with practically no traces left on GitHub or the rest of the Internet.

This is because Google will be hostile to any compatibility layer that places iOS in a privileged position and makes Android a second-class citizen, an afterthought in your development process.

With this story in mind, I don't think Apple would step into that territory.
mRNA vaccines are not really new [0]. This article [1] specifically shows that we've used the mechanisms of mRNA vaccines since the 70s, and at least modern iterations of mRNA vaccines since ~10 years ago.

Even if they were new, they're just a bunch of the same sort of genetic material that is already floating around in our bodies, not some external foreign substance that interacts with our cells.

Why ruin a perfectly fine comment with some us vs them toxicity?
I definitely think there's an impedance mismatch between centrist politicians, who believe in Median Voter Theorem[0], a modest policy offer, and a very specific kind of competence; and various kinds of populist disruptive challengers (this latter could be from the left, e.g. Jeremy Corbyn; the right, e.g. Silvio Berlusconi; or the centre, e.g. Beppe Grillo).

The former approach has demonstrably worked for those politicians for decades. Bill Clinton and Blair, for example, were crushingly successful electorally and marginalised their parties' radical wings. So their followers and successors (and lots of political scientists) hold the empirical success of this kind of politics to be proven and obvious.

But the latter has also worked electorally and politically: Berlusconi, M5S, Trump, whatever. And when will they work again in the future? We don't really know. Ross Perot didn't get far in the 90s - how did Trump win? There are lots of theories, but given how few elections you get per year, not enough data. Which environments support which kinds of politics? We have an idea, but not a functioning predictive model.

So people tend to argue for what they personally believe in - which is obviously informed by professional knowledge but shouldn't be confused with science. Many of my colleagues were astonished and shocked by the rise of Corbyn, for example, while I'm more sympathetic to disruptive politics (and critical of the technocratic status quo) and the possibility of something populist breaking open the existing system was obvious to me. That the breakthrough candidate was Corbyn (a long standing politician with no previous evidence of either high competence or desire for leadership) astonished me too.

[0]: MVT is an example of the difficulties of formal modeling in political science. It's provably true within its assumptions (a one-dimensional political spectrum and voters who support the closest candidate) but those assumptions are only weakly true for politics in reality (and the system becomes unstable if the first in particular is false).
I'm completely aware of this. It's still not an issue of luck when all of your eggs are in one geographical basket.
I sometimes use stenographic handwriting, which is different from the question. One insight I had is that swiping on the iPad is fundamentally faster than stenography, because the information density of these curves is higher: you have more context sensitive starting point and swirls. The only thing that is even faster is speech recognition (google > siri) ... and maybe the stenography OP asked about, which is probably not worth the learning curve given how ubiquitous speech recognition is becoming.
Not that surprising when you remember the private prisons.

The company is growing quickly (approaching 30M/year) and needs more capital but the board doesn't understand software/tech and is slowing things down. How do we get rid of them? Is there anyone that has done this successfully finding growth-stage firms or VCs that can do a buy out? thanks in advance

Sounds a bit... harsh?

When I read the 4HWW (probably close to 10 years ago now... time flies) what I got from it was a story of someone who went from his business owning his time to him owning his business. I agree there's nothing particularly "complicated" in the book but all in all it left my life in a net positive. E.g. the first time I even considered hiring a virtual assistant was from reading the book.

I was a lot younger than I was now when I read it, but since then I regularly listen to Ferris's podcast and generally enjoy the content he produces.
