Reason Magazine also thinks the NLRB's redo is absurd. The political left is selective in its outrage over not respecting election results.

NLRB Overturns Amazon Workers' Decision Not To Unionize, Orders New Election
If providing campaign buttons were grounds for disqualifying the results, would any election in modern American history be valid?

"The results of April's election suggest that it was the RWDSU's own failures rather than intimidation from Amazon that swung the outcome. About half of the Bessemer warehouse's roughly 5,800 workers voted, and only 738 voted for unionization. That's about 13 percent.

In Bessemer, Amazon's campaign argued that workers were earning at least $15 per hour plus benefits, and that paying union dues would consume part of their paychecks. Those are reasonable reasons to vote against unionization! And that probably has more to do with the outcome in Bessemer than paper-thin conspiracy theories about campaign buttons and mailboxes."
Probably a small outpost deployment + RF gear, so (guessing) $500K up front and $10-20k/mo. I don't know if it's possible to get RDOF grants for individual communities but that might cover some of it.
If Mexico is like most countries you'll need to apply for a work permit or long-term residency permit, you won't be able to go there and work (long term at least, or legally) as a tourist. So apply today, travel in 6-12 months when you have the permit and the travel restrictions are relaxed.
Yeah, this is some serious mass hysteria, and it's not getting better.

They are pinning one side against the other, and it's propelled by the government.

You can't even search COVID related terms in Google without it being regulated. Try searching anything related to anti-vax. They have pushed up all the government sites at the top of the rankings for any searching that have the word COVID in it. Things are bonkers.
My point was more related to the views on security than Rust.

Microsoft Security advises 1. managed languages, 2. Rust, 3. C++ with Core Guidelines.

Then comes out this group selling "secure IoT" devices with a C only SDK.

I have tried to use DDG for technical queries but Google still trumps them in this regard. However, I have noticed that DDG has gotten considerably better in general non-technical queries over the past year.

I think it's had the opposite effect - that people listen to old music a lot more. Even young kids know a lot of eighties music.

New music has something uncanny about it and it's tiring to listen to. I think it's related to how it's mixed (for example guitars have a lot of bass) or how the tempo is quantized too.
Succession season 3 describes this accurately
People forget this ever happened. Our memory is short. I would add to this that cloth masks barely work at all, and yet we’re still encouraging people to wear them (1). It’s this kind of thing that we need to stop doing. Just tell people the truth and encourage them to wear a surgical mask.

There are python clients available[1]. For example with postgrest-py[2] you can do:

async with PostgrestClient("http://<yourhost>.com") as client:
r = await client.from_("countries").select("*").execute()
countries = r.json()

One advantage is that you don't have to worry about handling raw postgresql connections or pooling(as PostgREST does that for you), you only do HTTP requests. And if you want more complex SQL you can create functions or views.

How a generation of amateurs got hooked on high-risk trading
Can anyone point to a very simple guide on how lightfield cameras work per chance, I've heard of the lytro camera which I believe used an array of lenses above the sensor?

Where all those lenses the same though?

With the Lytro camera I believe that could 'refocus' an image, but didn't think it could obtain 3D information? If that's the case, could anyone guess how 3D information is obtained from this camera.

Out of curiosity I checked your account, and you have only posted in favour of web3 since the beginning (3 months ago).

It's a bit strange IMO when someone shows absolutely no doubt on a topic that is so divisive and controversial.

anyway: anyone on planet Earth can use the web too, proof is everybody already does.
That’s why I asked about equity. If they’re giving significant equity then I have no problems with the $175K compensation limit.

One of my favorite employers right out of college did almost exactly this same thing: Everyone gets paid the same (although they had a couple tiers) and a lot of talk about how we’re all equal.

I believed it, until the acquisition event and I realized that the founders and early team members literally had 100-1000X or more as much equity than I did. All of the talk about paying everyone the same suddenly seemed like a cruel joke.
For folks who have actually set up srsRAN for anything besides a trivial configuration w/ one eNB and manual management of most things (and even then), the value-add of having Amazon worry about most of that stuff is clear. It's, ah, ... complicated.

This is a bit like responding to, say, the original announcement of EC2 with a link to download a Linux distribution.
I fear what this means in larger scale. All Amazon manufactured physical IoT and hardware could have sidechannel in the future to escape network isolation. They already have this "feature" which expands your home network for neighbor Amazon devices if they need Internet access. And default setting is "ON", not off. How many consumer is aware of that?

Gotta use "site:reddit.com"

If I'm asking google or DDG for advice on a product, it's either going to be a reddit or Wirecutter for me. 99% of results on "best *" results in _*literally hundreds*_ of domains like "best*for2021.com" "buybest*.com" "top10*reviews.com" that are all generated by bots containing only the worst knockoff / counterfeit / Chinesium products and tons and tons of Amazon affiliate links.

E.g. I was trying to remember the name of a top-of-the-line soldering station brand (Metcal) I used back in college, so I kept trying permutations of "best professional soldering rework station" on google [0] and DDG [1]but it only comes up with low-end Chinese stations, a few mentions of Weller and Hakko, but no impartial reviewers, no forums or blogs, no discussions...nothing leading to Metcal.

Then I searched "best professional soldering rework station site:reddit.com" [2], I clocked the first 3 links, scrolled, and found Metcal on the second hit. [3]

I was surprised to see Wirecutter did a review [4], and arguably the Hakko FX-888D is the best soldering station ever made (and the X-Tronic is a fine budget runner-up) for *_MOST_* people, but it's still not a Metcal (the thermal capacity and regulation of their iron tips is just unparalleled even with nice Wellers and Hakkos - you can really feel the difference when working with THICC power ground planes and RF connectors).

Of course, it was a bug in their code, which they promptly fixed. But it's the only case of a company with a large userbase using this kind of architecture that I know of, and their experience was far from smooth, so I thought I'd share.

This is really the only correct solution in the context of modern UX.
I heard whispers of "its too late" in the early 90s, with respect to the top meter of ocean and the biological life cycles there being broken.. yet we had the international CFC ban and that was a success at breaking the Ozone Hole, which made things better.. Let's be eyes-open on every detail, but be aware of the despair aspect too .. "collapse in X-X+10 years" is overwhelming to many ears, and we do not know the future.. hth
The time I could have most used a windfall was between 25-30. Old enough to know not to waste it all, young enough to be able to get a leap forward on life.
I don't think this solves the last-mile problem. You still have to provide (get) internet connectivity; Amazon just relays that landline to 5G.

And in rural areas, 5G probably doesn't give you enough range anyhow. Have you considered mesh revenue-share networks like Althea (https://www.althea.net/)? There's a nonprofit one too operating in several cities, but I can't remember what it's called.
It's not code. "That's stupid" is short for "that idea is stupid." There's no way to change it to "that idea is stupid and therefore you are too" without the person making the leap on their own. It only says how insecure someone is to assume that.

You could run trusted game server proxies. In FPS games this would help with the latency vs cheating trade-off.

1. An enemy is hiding behind a corner. The player takes a step and sees the enemy.

If the client knew the enemy was there, the player could cheat. If the client didn't know, the player would see the enemy with a delay. The proxy can share the hidden state at exactly the right moment.

2. When the player thinks that their shot hit the target, but the central server disagrees.

If the client is trusted to determine the answer, the player could cheat again. If the client isn't trusted, the player would sometimes see a hit that didn't harm the target. The proxy can make the decision and provide accurate feedback immediately.
collective bargaining certainly isn't better than compensation and terms that I have been able to negotiate.
Main difference is the strong focus on your preferences, diets, and goals. We use a combination of our own produced recipes, as well as recipes from food creators we work with. This allows us to tap into a wide range of different meals from the start and tailor the weekly recommendations to each individual.

On top of the personalization, we also have a different order process in which we take care of finding the best substitutes in case something is out of stock, and then provide you with personalized cooking instructions after the order.

Feel free to give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
This is a FUCK-TON of leeway.

Imagine a situation where someone punches someone else that is recorded. Millions examples of that on the internet, lols were had, whatever and deleted. Afterward someone makes the claim that it is a hate crime and since twitter isn't the only place where media is stored, do they restore every single instance of the original set of tweets?

What is the dividing line between them? When is something private versus something that is 'to the public interest'
Indeed. Any mild criticism is immediately flagged, downvoted, and deleted. I don’t care how serious the pandemic is, it doesn’t justify mass hysteria.

As I said, I don’t see this changing anytime soon. Your best bet is likely Mexico and/or a way into certain US states like Texas or Florida. Not sure if you can get a permanent residence card from abroad, but it may be something to investigate.
No, that's not it at all. GPT-3 loops within a sentence, creating an infinitely long sentence of gibberish.
Yeah, I read all of that.

We still have no definitive proof of what will happen in the next 5-10 years to people that have taken the vaccine. Just because someone said that there is nothing that can happen based on the science, doesn't mean it's definitive - it's just conjecture.
Of course other countries don't want the unvaccinated. If you won't take a small risk to prevent the spread of a deadly disease that has fucked up their country for the last 2 years, you literally are a second class citizen. Globalism isn't a right.

NuviaLab Vitality increases sexual desire
NuviaLab Vitality is a multi-ingredient food supplement designed for active men, who want to take care of their health and vitality in a comprehensive way. The product formula was created using the highest quality natural plant extracts, vitamins and minerals. NuviaLab Vitality is a food supplement, which draws the best from nature.

The product increases energy and vitality, supports fertility and increases sexual desire. It additionally supports the maintenance of correct testosterone levels in the body. NuviaLab Vitality supports muscle function, so the product is also valued by athletes.
The other thing I hate is the flood of reposts and blogspam around any announcement. Company 1 will give an interview to outlet A. Blogspam outlets B,C,D,E.... will publish "articles" that don't even link to the original but will highlight several out of context quotes, add minimal commentary that reads like it was generated by OpenAI, and hit publish. Then google appears to have a difficult time deciphering what the authoritative source should be.
Sure, though the two obvious problems are solved easily: make developers "reserve" a number ahead of time, and keep a list of applied revisions in the DB table.

I was on a team doing this 15 years ago, and we did some pretty hardcore DB migrations on a large, complex database without any fuss with >30 developers working on it at the same time.
Yep, doesn't seem particularly unusual to me; here in rural Scotland, farmers and their families show all kinds of animals, in what are essentially beauty contests, including sheep, goats, cows, horses and chickens.
It means worker-owned and -run companies and actually democratic government to regulate them. You're absolutely right about political fights, and it's clear that centralized authorities (e.g. FB, Google, the US Gov't, others) have won/are winning the political fight against you and me. A technological solution realized under their authority will not be allowed to succeed unless it can be bent to their own purposes. I don't wholly disagree with the goals of crypto/web3, but I fear that pursued alone, i.e. without a political movement to back it, those ideals will be corrupted by our existing power structures.
You could imagine them using it in their warehouses. I imagine getting good coverage with wifi in a huge warehouse could be pretty expensive, maybe 4G/5G works better?
I've had the same experience.

Noobs are cheap but they write noob code. They can be useful if lead by a good senior engineer, but usually when companies start getting cheap, the senior engineers are already half-way out the door.

This literally happened at a start-up I was a foundational engineer at. They started hiring noobs, a year later the entire senior engineering team left after getting stiffed a raise.

They are still struggling to pay off the technical debt.
That's what every former industrial power did. I'm not saying China will fall into ruin, it will simply be just another developed country outsourcing industry to cheaper countries.
It’s not surprising that those who directly benefit from the lack of unionization are not in support of it.
The Apple Macintosh as a User Interface Agent for Unix Systems (1988) [pdf]
That viewpoint makes sense, but I don't think really works against what I was saying. It seems like the OP was saying "this cost is fake/gross" and you're saying "this cost is worth paying".
I would certainly like to stay in the academic atmosphere, even if not in the complete sense. I know there is a notion of a split between academia and industry lifestyles; I don't feel that has to be the case.
> Think politicians, business leaders, investors, celebrities, influencers, tech workers, journalists.

I always found it amusing that common people who are not that interesting share the same platform with influential people / thought leaders / celebrities. The fact you can just cold tweet and @mention a famous person out of the blue is highly parasocial and strange.
Fact is, there will be no black hole. As much as people try to put the genie back in the bottle with TOS and even law, the tech is not going away.
One of the Christian's here :)

> It certainly feels like PostgREST and systems like it are dancing close to the fire here, since there's a lot less in between you and an attacker.

There are definitely fewer buffered copies of your responses, yes.

This is one advantage few people know about PostgREST, once the database produces even a single row of data, it starts to stream JSON to the frontend. Users don't have to wait for the response to fully buffer in memory in some Python or Go process before being relayed on.

As for security, Postgres supports Row Level Security. You can literally protect every single row of your data with a solid security policy using a security mechanism older and tested longer than the average age of your typical HN reader.

This security mechanism doesn't just apply to your web frontend either, but to all SQL clients regardless of the frontend language. No other framework has such a deep integration with Postres' native security mechanism.
Good point, it's almost as if allowing large monopolists to have their way has a chilling effect on people wanting to compete with them.
I think it's absurd take. How many people here are unionised? Not that many but everyone has an opinion what some blue collar workers really want and these are unions.
For Euros - American unions are nothing like in Europe.
> but it looks and feels like React Hooks.

I am confused about why this is a positive.

React Hooks are the reason why I want to stop using React. They are confusing and seemingly magical, compared to lifecycle methods that make a ton of sense. While I agree they can make complex things easier, they are also incredibly easy to get wrong, as they are order dependent.

Reading the Solid landing page, what I see is "Solid takes the most confusing part of React, and runs with it."
We've been looking for a new TV; won't be considering Vizio anymore. Then again, their data collection practices are expansive enough that we probably would have gone elsewhere, anyways.
Don't think that's the use case. how would AWS deploy a base station to my home?

But you have a real point, and AWS already solved that with the 3G enabled Kindles by having carrier agreements. Why not doing that with Smart TVs?
This is amazon. They also had the red light on the public road you turn off to enter the warehouse shortened so that Union advocates would have less time to speak to workers stuck in traffic.
It seems odd for the CMA to order a sell off when Facebook and Giphy are both US companies.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to require Giphy UK to cease trading, and force Facebook UK to compete on its own? UK authorities policing UK companies and all.

(Please don’t respond to this as a hot take on globalisation — my comment is a serious question about how the UK competition authority can be most effective, not a wide eyed lamentation on why we can’t have world peace etc.)
> Rust is where it is going for cryptocurrencies that need to have very secure smart-contracts

There is an implication here that Rust will help make smart contracts "secure", but AFAIK the vulnerabilities in smart contracts have been in their logic, not in their memory/type safety or whathaveyou.
I Am Boycotting YouTube's Like Button
Google recently castrated the Dislike Button, and now you can press it, but it essentially does nothing. Because no-one can see any effect, no-one will really use it, and eventually, Google will remove it altogether.

Once again, Google is following in Facebook's guidebook on how to implement 1984.

By removing even this meagre ability to dissent, you take away people's ability to think about dissenting (1984).

This is morally wrong, and it should offend the senses of any true engineer.

Engineers (and other critical thinkers) make observations on the world based on the data they perceive. If the data is corrupted, skewed, or biased, then our observations are equally so.

By removing a critical piece of data - people's dislike of a video, Google has corrupted the observations of their viewers, and in doing so, has made the world less honest.

E.g. imagine you see a video on remedies for arthritis. The video has 11,000 likes. Just from that data alone, you would assume that there may be merit to the remedies suggested. But if the dislike count was displayed, you would be able to see that it had 250,000 dislikes, meaning that this remedy may have caused harm to many more viewers than it helped.

The dislike capability is necessary for making accurate observations of the world in a communal setting, and Google should replace it ASAP.
While visiting some relatives, their kids were watching an animated TV show on Apple TV. It was skipping and jumping around every few minutes, so the plot was impossible to follow. The kids didn't seem to mind.

Maybe our future is all just glitch. People become oblivious to past things like color correction, smooth motion, aspect ratios, continuity, conversation, acting, plot, what you have...
Were there mandatory prescriptive federal guidelines on HOV lane line colors when California introduced carpool lanes, or did they only come after California had been using yellow lines?

Personally, I do find yellow lines are a stronger border, but then I grew up in a culture of yellow carpool lines. I feel like white lines are almost always ok to drive over, and yellow lines usually aren't (although yellow dotted lines are a sometimes drive over (if safe, to pass on a two lane undivided highway), and yellow solid + dotted is also ok to drive over (if safe, to get into a shared median lane for an unprotected left turn)
Yellow lines separating oncoming traffic is not universal though? I believe in the UK that the center lines are white?
That is fear mongering. Nothing stops you from taking the pictures, nothing stops you from posting the pictures. It only provides a mechanism to allow the unposting of specific reported pictures from twitter. You have to see one heck of a slippery slope to see this policy and jump immediately to "it's impossible to take pictures of public places.'
If I'm not mistaken, they have updated the T series for every generation since the introduction of their Nitro virtualization.
Sure, not saying it is. I was just disagreeing with the assertion that there was no union action involved.
