It's fairly big business, at least for the larger agencies like hololive. It's somewhere in between streamers and Idols. There's character goods and YouTube ad revenue but I think most of their income is through Twitch subscriptions and the like.
Basically no one has tried them.
What companies arbitrarily categorize as "budget" doesn't really represent or communicate anything.
Interesting, I always translate recipes into a mental GANTT chart and use multiple timers because I like everything to be finished at the same time.
I started a conversation with a visiting EU PhD and asked about programming languages. In a very good smelling way, he avoided the question. Apparently it is "blue collar" work to do actual programming? This one PhD did zero actual programming, apparently.
Yea.
That makes sense. I avoid extensions myself since many of them are super sketch.
This one literally changes just one setting and you get the same results if you do it manually. But most web users won't know how to make setting changes.

There are similar systems today.

I have a 2004 Corvette. When I got it several years ago, it had (like many others of its ilk) a failed ABS/traction controller. Removing it was slightly complicated by the fact that it had servos connected to the hydraulic braking system, but wasn't difficult. And fortunately, at least at the time, there were a couple small companies in the business of refurbishing brake controllers. The refurbished controller has been working perfectly ever since.

Not cheap, but very significantly cheaper than a new unit.
Thank you!

2. So there is some non-TCP traffic. What happens when you load that page in Tor Browser, for example? Does it leak back to your clear Internet connection? Is it simply dropped? This seems like a critical issue.

3. Thanks. Do you know when that was written? To save others clicking the link and finding the applicable section, I'll paste it below. Designing and building your own protocol for Internet transport, compatible with the entire net and performing competitively enough to be usable, sounds like quite a project for a small organization. Note that Google didn't do that; they used UDP for QUIC.

7 Tor Network Compatibility Concerns

Our final area of concern is continued compatibility of the Tor network with future versions of the HTTP proto-
col. It is our understanding that there is a desire for future versions of HTTP to move to a UDP transport layer
so that reliability, congestion control, and client mobility will be more directly under control of the client user
agent.

At present, the Tor Network is only capable of carrying TCP traffic. While it will be possible to support the
transit of UDP datagrams using our existing TCP overlay network without significant anonymity risks within a
year’s time or sooner, it is unlikely that this level of support will be sufficient to warrant the use of a finely-tuned
UDP version of HTTP rather than a TCP variant.

Long term, our goal is to transition the entire Tor network to our own datagram protocol with custom con-
gestion and flow control to better support both native datagram transport and end-to-end flow control. However,
additional research is still needed to examine the anonymity implications associated with this transition[12]. Our
present estimate is that a full network transition to UDP is at least five years away.

We are also concerned that even after a full network transition to a datagram transport, it is likely that the
congestion, flow, and reliability control of a UDP version of HTTP may still end up performing poorly over
higher-latency overlay networks such as ours.

For these reasons, we are especially interested in ensuring that overlay networks are taken into account in
the design of any UDP-based future versions of HTTP, and also prefer to retain the ability to use future HTTP
versions over TCP, should the UDP implementations prove sub-optimal for our use case.
Use a person generator if you worry about your details.
Most universities I'm familiar with spend 100% of their tuition on operations and some amount over that from endowment income. While they do have endowments, those are restricted and cannot be used for anything except their contractually agreed to purpose (scholarships, faculty lines, research for xyz thing, etc.).
Thanks for the feedback! Will think about ideas for how we can change it. Sorry you found it distracting, totally understand.
> "the west" is effectively building their own version of China's social credit.

China's social credit system allegedly assigns (or will assign?) all citizens scores and punishes them for social wrongdoings. The IRS has always been tasked with auditing and catching tax cheats, the Treasury always went after people who violate economic sanctions. What's the similarity other than data collection?
If it's not okay, then everyone involved made a choice to be complicit in something that is "not okay". Willingly participating in harmful activities isn't evil?
Keep in mind that there is a reproducibility crisis[0] currently plaguing academia. The quantity of papers has skyrocketed and the quality has plummeted. Until the SNR is fixed, take all of it with a grain of salt.

Dogs of War is an incredibly racist and misogynistic novel (goes well beyond mere depictions of racism and misogyny). I'm not suggesting the book is valueless, but it's concerning to me that someone can give a full-throated endorsement of such a text without at least mentioning these problems. One can only be left to assume that someone giving such an endorsement either 1) didn't notice these issues due to a shallow reading of the text 2) doesn't care about them or 3) agrees with Forsyth's racist/misogynistic views
I just looked through my email, and you're right that many companies use preheaders (though usually with display: none). But I would classify most of them as summaries of the email content. The email from Jimmy Wales, in contrast, uses it for deceptive purposes: it shows a completely different text fragment that sounds like a brief personal email.

Also, just because the "email industry" routinely uses bad practices, that doesn't make it okay for wikimedia to do so.
I just gave an personal example to flesh out my post. But if, for example, you are a structural engineer who has to consult on site with clients, you certainly need to recall a litany of data/concepts (random or non-random) pretty quickly if you don't want to look like an idiot. You cannot learn this knowledge from a few weeks on the job because the client would be able to see through your bullshit in minutes.

This applies to pretty much any position that needs to communicate in real time about a base of knowledge (doctors, lawyers, logistics, any type of management position). If you believe that any career can be substituted by "a few weeks on the job", you're not really aiming that high for yourself.
Credit score for ghee most part tries to assure lenders you can repay your debts.

Social credit score is about how close you hew to proscribed behavior at large.
I use incident.io. Pretty happy with it. Very responsive team.
Your service(s) going down and pagerduty going fully down is very unlikely to happen. Even if it does, you're probably going to get called by customer support because users never go down;)
For me seems to be very similar with metabase.com
What I don't have at Metabase is the option to build Insert/Update forms. It's just read-only.

Appreciate your feedback, we will look into the titles and summaries to better explain the value inside each chapter.

Sorry you feel nice design devalues information.
That was couple of decades of Cognizant or Infosys and likes of them getting contracts and selling their services from their offices.

Now it is the time to build real distributed teams where it is easier to hire a person from other part of the globe to be part of your team.

Working directly with them and not hiring bunch of warm bodies to dump trash tasks on them.
QUIC and HTTP3 are great technologies, but they are never likely to become the only protocol a service supports.

For one thing, convection to a website via one of those protocols first, and then a header informs the client that it can reconnect via QUIC/HTTP3. IE they have to have a working http 1 or 2 webserver first.

UDP is disallowed in many many places, and many ISPs treat UDP as hostile and rate limit it.

In the places it works, it provides some benefits. But we're unlikely to see it take over as the sole protocol any time soon.
> People will tell me to click that “unsubscribe” button. I will and swear I have before.

Regarding this point, I've had this suspicion of so many subscriptions – to the point where I was questioning my own memory/sanity on the regular. I finally set up a label in my Gmail inbox called "Already Unsubscribed!". Every time I unsubscribe to a newsletter, I add a Gmail filter that marks anything from that sender with the "Already Unsubscribed" label. This way I know if I'm just misremembering unsubscribing, or if I'm actually being spammed.

Incidentally, I just checked that label after about a year of doing this. As it turns out, there's only one company that's ever continued to email me after my unsubscribe request. So I guess my memory (or sanity) has been failing me all this time.

(And no, the company is not Wikimedia) :P
If your target user does a lot of work in Google Sheets, https://www.wax.run/ might work well for you. It lets you set up templatized SQL or Python snippets that the end user can control from Sheets by clicking a button (e.g. they could control the WHERE statement in SQL using the value from a cell). The landing page has some examples.
If it's like v5, you can. They're big (since they include .NET, though it looks like v6 will strip out more than v5). And they won't run on Windows 7 without an administrator installing a system component first.

If you're excited about web3, it's to be expected you'd be looking for ways jump on the opportunities you believe it presents.
How does this work when I want to take personal notes on source code, not push them anywhere? For those who'd ask why anybody would want or should be allowed such a thing: There's little distinction to me between thoughts in my head and notes in a file on disk, fundamentally and practically. I don't think it's a good thing to push all my thoughts that happen to be on disk to the cloud.

Or mount my local emacs configuration, which I sometimes tweak and currently just save to disk and carry on with my work (I'm not asking how to run emacs in gitpod, I know there was some work on that)?

Am I out of luck, gitpod/insurer/employer knows best? Or are there ways provided accessible to individual developers to 1. do arbitrary customization and 2. "mount" writeable directories from a laptop filesystem (or something similar)?
> Depends on the degree and the person.

I graduated with a Psychology degree. I worked at a lot of BS jobs after college from recruiting and customer service which lead me to pursue sales for more money. Did sales for about seven years for various industries, left sales about two years ago, and now I work in totally different field that funny enough isn't customer facing. Being under 40, I'm proud to say that I am very close to what I feel is financial freedom.

Anecdotally, one of my friend circles consists of some engineers, doctors, lawyers, CEOs - you get it, the book smart people. Very well educated, went to prestigious universities, earned their highly respected degrees, etc. Most of them today are solidly traffic jammed in the rat race like the majority of society.

I have another friend circle, not nearly as educated as the friends highlighted above, who some are sitting on multi-million stock portfolios/assets/whatever. One of them who really stands out paid one of our other friend to write all his papers in college. Think he barely squeezed out a C average.

It really depends on the person. I work for an Elon Musk company if anyone cares.
It is definitely something different, and a different framing on some existing activities. But the same way that engineering roles change, non-engineering roles also change in focus and title and expectations.

Thanks for the feedback about that chapter, will dive in and see if we can try to make the answer more clear!
That's pretty big news indeed, but I'll wait until it happens. For now it's just a plan, and I've heard so many plans.
I will gladly discriminate against Nazis, just as you would likely discriminate against folks whose personal creed included "user Dig1t belongs in a death camp."

It's okay to apply standards to public spaces. Not every ideology deserves to be heard.
Well, I tried to find a pancake recipe on "stovetop.app", "you(dot)com", and "get-sentinel" and so far I'm 0/3 on recipes and 3/3 on irritation for Nov. 9th HackerNews search engines

..holey moley, I just found something that works! I bookmarked a super weird search engine someone linked here a while back, and it actually returned useful search results immediately: https://search.marginalia.nu/search?query=pancake+recipe&pro...

that led straight to: http://online-cookbook.com/goto/cook/rpage/000DDF , which is possibly the best recipe site I've ever seen in my life. It's just an ingredient list and a paragraph of text below it!
Thanks for your feedback! We've weighed these considerations quite a bit in choosing the right first step for the product.

The docker-compose approach is a valid angle — we’ve seen a couple products built around that workflow. A weakness that led us to our approach is that they generally lack support for projects that involve cloud-specific services. Most of the startups we’ve talked to already have some infra-as-code that describes their cloud infrastructure, and we’re rolling out support for CloudFormation/Pulumi very soon, so customers will be able to bring over infrastructure in any major format. As far as limiting the breadth of services spun up, we've found that removing unnecessary services from the IaC config provides reasonably good results. We plan on adding support for a Docker-compose approach soon, but we felt that starting with IaC would bring us better generalizability out of the gate.
If one sees the U.S. constitution and its amendments merely as dated conventions, there is no reason for the IRS and other agencies not to leverage tech to drive enforcement numbers, and for the agencies themselves to just become the policy levers they want to have. However, there are others who believe the rules are in place to prevent this precise type of eventuality, where a technological change shifts the balance of power and shreds any perception of a social contract, so you need rules that limit the scope and powers of government so it doesn't consume and enslave everything.

I think a generation of people who believe the former statement have taken control of institutions, and we're watching it play out now. If you want to predict what this generation of bureaucracy will do, find the emergency exceptions and notwithstanding discretion to every law that protects the individual and limits the power of government, and then contrive the excuse that enables it, and this will be the policy and tactics of the people behind it. This Treasury collecting data story isn't about legalisms and principles, the people doing it really are nihilists, where language itself is just words that can mean anything, so it might as well mean whatever they want. Arguing under the false belief that principles and logic matters means doing nothing while they ratchet up controls and make themselves impossible to dislodge.

You aren't going to persuade the Treasury or other people involved in these plays with reason, as the prospect of total, permanent, tech-facilitated dominion means the stakes are too high for them not to make a play for it. Only the courts, or sadly, conflict can dislodge it I think. We need to seriously consider how much tech is causing our governments to metastasize, and what the options for mitigating it are.

There is no reason to believe your phone that tracks everything about you will not be used by people in government without accountability as leverage against you personally. This was paranoid ranting 20 years ago, and today it's just unpopular buzzkill. All that's left is to say "it was ever thus" and the only people who complained were the ones merely maladapted to the change and the inevitable progress of history.
No, no browser version but it’s not been an issue for me since they have apps everywhere I need. Also, their (undocumented) API is simple enough if you want access.

As far as having to purchase per-platform, it’s a steal for the utility I get from it and there is no subscription fee, it’s 1-time.
My understanding was it basically was providing a way to incentivize indigent people to behave the law by imposing penalties for failing to pay fines.

In the US, fines are mostly meaningless if you are poor as debtor prisons are (rightfully) illegal.
Probably because most farm equipment is a multi generational purchase
Well, I searched OctoPart last week and found only a few vendors with stock, and all of those were for the "kit", which includes some useful accessories that I don't need, and raises the price by about $25. Also, all of the Pi4b stock was for the 4GB version. No 8GB Pi4bs anywhere on OctoPart. So last week I ordered two Pi4b 4GB kits from Allied for $90.61 each. The last Pi4b (8GB) I bought was $75 from Newark/Element 14 in January. Amazon is now selling the 8GB Pi4b for $160.
By that same logic, research showing the dangers posed of COVID, or the efficacy of vaccines, should be taken with a grain of salt.
A good start, but their profiles are probably incredibly well scrubbed (or whatever is out there is already mitigated).

Instead, collect it on every Congressperson and then see how fast things change. Most politicians don't have the means to scrub their backgrounds like multi-million dollar PR-vulnerable CEOs.
At least older Linux (the kernel) versions don't support zstd compression (for the kernel image itself), that's why it was not part of the experiment.

What's the newspeak for the high egress fees?
Same guy in Aug 2021: "Every time that a variant appears in the world, our scientists are getting their hands around it. And they are researching to see if this variant can escape the protection of our vaccine. We haven't identified any yet, but we believe that it is likely that one day, one of them will emerge.". Somewhat confused here, I thought mentioning "variant" and "vaccine" in the same sentence is criminal antivaxxer conspiracy theory misinformation?

The world needs a cheat sheet at https://pfizer.com/covid with a handful of bullet points for correct speak and a handful for criminal misinformation. Even better, also an anonymous form to submit the names, addresses and workplaces of those who fail to internalize the distinction.

That's for employment. This is about whether or not Twitter can ban Nazis.
I get how tempting it is to hijack someone else's launch thread, especially when you've been working in the same space for a long time, but you're overdoing it. When I looked in on this thread, 3 of 7 comments were yours.

It's maybe fine to post one comment about your competing service—maybe. (I'm not even sure about that, to be honest, but people do it.) Pushing the envelope beyond that is too much.

Btw, this applies to all startup launches, not just YC companies, and we moderate other threads exactly the same way when we see this dynamic. From my perspective it's about the kind of community we want HN to be.

Non-launch threads are different of course. I'm sure your work is very good and you're completely welcome to participate on HN.

I've detached this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29166416.
a) Both contracts are tiny ($150k each) although obviously these may be pilot programs.

b) Finding evaders of sanctions seems like it should fall under a national security agency's purvue. We all take it for granted that the NSA could pinpoint our locations pretty easily, right? One thing that's particularly insane about the US government is how many departments have intelligence agencies. Obviously the ideal would be to have a small handful of well regulated intelligence agencies (emphasis on "well regulated", and you only have to look at the overreach by e.g. the CIA over the past 50 years to know that the US has had issues with that.)

c) The tax evasion contract looks at social media posts to find tax evaders. I wouldn't be particularly upset if the IRS had their own internal tech department doing this - if you're going to have a tax agency, you want it to be able to prevent cheating, otherwise the tax system falls apart. Finding people who have declared themselves to have beaten the system in a public forum is a cheap and easy way to go after cheaters.

There's a lot of pork in contracts that government agencies give out to private contractors, but this seems like a relatively low spend, and so it doesn't seem particularly bad that the IRS has decided that this is outside of their current expertise and given out a contract to chase it.

USA is super expensive. Yes you can get a large paycheck, wait until you see house prices.

Also current situation does not inspire confidence in somebody who may be identified as white male.
The pseudonymised ad data is just going to tell you the numbers of people travelling to sanctioned states. No big deal. There would be a story here if the government was re-identifying people, which would be a clear breach of the law. But there’s no evidence or suggestion of that happening, just “assume the worst of government” speculation. Poor journalism.

As for looking at public social media posts for evidence of tax dodging, I’d hope that if someone was dumb enough to advertise this publicly, and everyone can see they are abusing other citizens out of funding for public services, the IRS should look into it.
ultimately, though, somebody has to own, house and run those mainframes, so it's just abstracting the work away to some other group of people. lots of people made careers out of running mainframes and minicomputers in the 1955-1985 time frame. in the case of things like aws, azure, etc, it's just a lot more centralized in a smaller number of gargantuan companies.
> we're unlikely to see it [QUIC] take over as the sole protocol any time soon

Agreed, but I'm not talking about soon. I mean the long term. Even FTP has been deprecated.
> Considering only positive and negative ratings (i.e. not a 5-star scale)

I hate this. It feels like part of the internet getting dumbed down.
