As someone that grows weed legally in my state I do commiserate with their problems. Since weed is not legal federally if my banks ever find out the source of funds, I’m terminated instantly and asked to take my money and go. Our American Express account was terminated for exactly this reason a few months ago.

I assume it is a very similar situation with Tether, since they have had banking issues in the past. Whoever they bank with would be shunned immediately by other banks and governments, as many see crypto rightfully as a competitor. But the money is too attractive so you do have banks crossing that line to help, on the caveat that it remain anonymous. You can’t run Tether or a weed operation without banking, so you see our conundrum.
You join in the audience (others only can hear you if you are on stage), moderators can move trolls back to the audience. Simple but works quite well.
There's also "computed gotos". It's not the same as function pointers, though.

The money wasn't just 'given' to banks, it was a loan that they ended up paying back.

Just paying off loans for homeowners with bad mortgages would also have been horrible - you're essentially rewarding bad quality loans. And how else would you bailout homeowners?
Alcohol will be next. Same arguments apply.
sshell inherits the limitations of the FaaS infrastructure, including the time limit. Regarding the big data use case, more work is necessary to assess this, but the applications we have written so far were competing both in terms of efficiency and pricing (Section 5 in [1]).

that's one of my biggest reasons for not using android - i appreciate the risk that comes with "options", "choice" and "customisation".

I want my phone to work - especially during a time-critical emergency. An app crashing or bugging out is not an acceptable trade-off. That said, i have my gripes with iOS but at least Apple's thought process towards these issues is similar.
Orchestration/install/setup scripts are usually run while nothing else is running. Bash is not ideal for this. But it's not ideal for almost everything. Still making things idempotent-ish is better than bailing on every recoverable error and making the admin do the cleanup manually so the script can finally do what it supposed to do.

(Of course a few years ago immutable infrastructure was the rage, because it means if the script runs once, pack it up as a VM and you're done. And that's how the docker sausage images are made.)
Ah, "uncorrected". That leaves "corrected", which only happens for ECC machines, correct?
What he’s talking about is when you’re deep into music, that small time between deep sleep and when you’re waking up you have almost a lucid dream where amazing music comes to you. The problem is right when you wake up. It vanishes. The “hit” song is on the “tip of your brain” … then gone.

It happens to me and musicians I know. On occasion you remember one.
What are your talking about???

1. This is _mainly_ an app issue (Teams). It will be fixed via the store.

2. It affects very few people (installed teams but not logged in).

3. There is already a workaround (just reinstall the app)

4. Google has in past patched even older devices in case of a serious problem or vulnerability.

> boring environments shouldn't reflect negatively on employees

It's not that they reflect negatively, it's that in a world of hype, not having hype technologies on your resume puts you at a disadvantage for future opportunities as you just won't have the skills they are looking for, which means the company needs to offer a higher salary to compensate for that downside.
As I understand it, this is actually very common in China. It's a weird mix of responsible business oversight and anti-trust action and just straight up corrupt wild west capitalism.
All dating sites have effectively two sets of users: people who use it until they get a long-term partner (A), and people who can use it forever because they are unlikely or unwilling to get a long-term partner (B). That is effectively intrinsic to the activity they are born to serve (dating). This said, there are enough people belonging to the B set to keep them in business pretty much forever.

There is also the option to provide ramps for people in A towards some other form of socialization (double dates? dinner parties?), but I don't think anyone really tried it yet.
ipfs? With ipfs p2p. It has swarm-mediated firewall traversal, and can fall back on relays within the swarm.

Unfortunately, there hasn't been much progress on that funtionality, as the ipfs team seems to focus more on "crypto" lately. But it mostly works: http://docs.ipfs.io.ipns.localhost:8080/reference/cli/#ipfs-... and I guess this gives more context on relays: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/7433#issuecomment-640...

Otherwise, there is a useful library of firewall traversal libraries in any webrtc implementation.
I don’t see this being a huge cost/limit.

Yes, sure, it would be a copyright violation to write today a novel set on a giant space artefact containing a flattened full-scale map of Earth, where a motley crew (including a bald human on anti-aging drugs) crash-lands and investigates, finding the machinery of the world breaking down, where those things are “the Ringworld”, Luis Wu, superconducting wire destroyed by a synthetic microbe, and Boosterspice; but that didn’t stop Pratchett writing Strata with “the flat world”, Kin Arad, general entropy, and Days.
> In Japan, old houses are rightfully considered depreciated

Even newer buildings in Japan are made in cardboard, with no/little isolation, and everything is made to be destroyed 30 years down the road anyway. Disposable houses/apartments that cost an arm and a leg anyway.

> Having a house built in the 1700s sure isn't going to be easy to solarize or insulate.

You have no idea what you are talking about. In Europe, stuff built in the 1700s and still standing today were built with thick walls and will last several other centuries without any issue, and have excellent isolation (sound and heat).

> which means if you're in American growth-tech where revenue isn't a thing you can just remove all fee's for a while. Paypal could do the same for sure but chose not to.

PayPal doesn’t have any fees if you send money as a “gift” (that is, forgo any fraud protections) and you don’t use a credit card.
I can only guess that it probably has something to do with low incomes of a lot of citizens and foreign investors buying land/property. It could also be something akin to very low average income for rural residents mixed with a relatively affluent urban society and a huge gap between the haves and have-nots.
Personally I prefer the existing style.

The larger text looks imbalanced, and I think there are ways to make collapsing threads easier without the eyesore, like changing "[-]" to "collapse thread" or adding a reddit-style bar to the left of the text.

Commenting in case others agree, so the HN team doesn't assume everyone agrees with the proposed change.
There are many reasons why an app would want to be notified of a call taking place - e.g., a music app could use this event to auto-pause playback, Teams might set the availability status to "busy", etc.

The question is what should happen if such an app takes an excessively long time handling the event. In this case, the OS should not wait for the app and should directly go on making the call. The bug seems to be that the OS did wait, so a misbehaving app can effectively block phone calls by e.g. going into an infinite loop.
Moms Are an Untapped Source of Talent. This Startup Can Connect You to Them
This is fairly normal. My wife, friends, and I are all in very different fields and all play professionalism daily. That's life in a workplace. That's why business attire exists: to keep personality out of it as much as possible and give people a stable and predictable place to focus on the business at hand.

The last job I had where I could be myself was as a pizza delivery guy. Even as I moved through my career, wearing shorts was about as personalized as the workplace got.
YouTube started as such a great way to explore niche interests but has, as the author describes well, turned into a large hooking mechanism and I hate it for that.

Used to spend a lot of good quality time watching videos on there and interacting with like minded people but now YT is blocked on my network.
The government could ask the banks for their list of debtors, and then transfer an amount of money equal to the sum of all debts, on the condition that the banks write off said debtors, no?

Not sure what side effects this could cause but it seems possible in principle.
Well, we are going to find out if Tether is exposed to it, won't we. Big, if true, and it would set off a nuclear bomb under crypto.
The idea that the PRC will act to protect foreign economies or foreign investors is directly contradicted by every single thing the Chinese government have done the last two decades. If they basically allow Chinese citizens to outright steal corporations (See ARM China), why do you think they would step in here?
I cannot help but feel that this is just extending the confusion to Zillow. It seems utterly implausible that Zillow's ill-advised zeal for removing people out of the process was driven by a overarching desire to develop AI, as opposed to, say, for making more money.
The Letters That Outgoing Presidents Wrote to Their Successors
> Am I the only one who launches YouTube just to watch a single tutorial and ends up devouring dozens of fine-tuned recommendations?

I'm hitting 40 next week, and seeing others asking for recommendations of videos on "programming a microcontroller" (or programming related) is something I can't understand.

One day I sat and watched some of the videos they were recommending, and in most of them there were a person talking for 40 minutes while showing the screen.

Also, the video, at least to me, makes the person doing the tutorial to be seen as "more authoritative" than through text, even if you can tell the person talking has little experience with microcontrollers (or whatever, if you have experience in the field).

The same applies for "making a gradient in Gimp". I don't want a 5 minutes videos. Give me a bullet-point list on text. 20 seconds read. I can "rewind" easily and repeat a step I missed.

I will always prefer text for some types of tutorials. I can "ctrl + f" and search for the parts I want, and see the code examples in peace, without rushing them while someone is talking.

I might watch a video tutorial for, I don't know, fixing a dishwater. But I guess I am just getting old.
I think his point was that it's more likely taking the total income and total property costs and computing the average that way. But if you instead compute the same per-city and then look at the middle of those it can give you a drastically different value.

Facebook is the only one with access to write to this chain correct? If so, they can shut people out of their chain by just disabling their Facebook, WhatsApp, or meta accounts. That’s grounded in reality
The Railway Journey: The Industrialization of Time and Space in the 19th Century
I agree with (2) but on (1), isn't that about the liquidity _of the bank_.

And when banks are illiquid like they were in 2008, the central bank creates liquidity through QE which isn't a bad thing unless you are questioning these banks' ability to repay the money they "borrowed" from the central bank.
I mentioned the IQ test because those employers couldn't stop talking about fitting in. Without tests, fitting in = we like you, we like you not, where WE can be very different today than tomorrow. Applying for the same position after knowing that the hiring manager was replaced is not unheard of.

I definitely do NOT want tests of ANY kind to be the norm, but if I'm forced to find a "fit", then I try to take myself out of the picture and balance the team instead. I respectfully reject the idea that this is similar to "measuring skulls" (a comment in the thread).

Thanks for pointing that out. Hopefully I made myself clearer now.
I'd like to meet some of those people. iOS changed, but not in a way that it hampers usability - and by this I mean basic usability. Texts, calls -> these are the important bits in a phone, not 5000 weather apps that do the same thing and flood you with ads as a bonus.

Android is a bloated mess and this bug should be a giant red flag for both Google and MS to get their shit together. Windows is currently a huge mess as well, bloated beyond repair and with "features" nobody ever asked for, but hey, who doesn't like advertising on their login screen and unrelenting telemetry?
They may require more maintenance, but that maintenance may also be lighter.

You could also argue that this type of construction allows more room for generational upgrades than those expected to last 500 years.

Integrating PV solar into the roof might be a more reasonable proposition if you know you're planning to replace the roof in a few years. If you don't expect to have to replace it for several more decades, you're less likely to make that investment.

This also applies to insulation, air sealing, electrical upgrades, etc.
Yeah it's exceedingly rare that better, more parseable information isn't available in text somewhere. Unfortunately though, it is becoming more common for people to make a video instead of a well written tutorial or guide or better documentation.
Light mode? you monster!

As far as light mode themes go that ones pretty good
Sound insulation? My mum has a house that's literally built from concrete, and it's impossible to hear anything from one room to another, it's amazing.
My strategy is to have a curated list of subscriptions (in an RSS reader - I don't have a Google account) and just stick to those. I very rarely explore outside of that exactly for the reason you mention.
Actually, BLS says about $110k is the US median dev salary.
Why would I want a house to stand 500 years? Just in the short 30 years I have been alive, there have been amazing advances in communications technology (cat 5 and cat 6 wiring), Wi-Fi, mobile phones, PVC to plex plumbing, insulation technology, zone heating / cooling, etc.

> e.g., you can realistically restore a stone farmhouse that's gone to ruin more easily than a stick+drywall house that has), no? My sense is that the 500-year TCO is many times higher (maybe as much as an order of magnitude) for US-style homes.

No, labor for masonry related work is insanely expensive, and rightfully so. Even at its most basic, more mass needs more force to move around.

It is so cheap and easy to cut some wood and drywall and install new things and patch it up rather than deal with masonry that will last 500 years.
People learn in different ways.
I don't know who asked for it to be like a social network, but I did similar thing with GitHub removing the social sidebar and reactions on the home screen making it less distracting with github.com##aside[aria-label="Explore"], #dashboard.dashboard .reactions-with-gap
The Refined Hacker News extension for Chrome has a “collapse root” button on each comment that I think does what you want.
Why are older homes in the US generally cheaper if they are also better quality?
Its pretty uncommon to own a home in China. Much more likely to be a communal housing complex or apartment.

> Russians don't have an option to pay fee to be free

I'm not sure what you mean here, I assume you are referring to fines, as the UK doesn't have a paid bond, a fine is not a fee, it is a punishment. Fines are also a punishment in Russia so the idea should not be entirely alien to you. Here is a link that details the Russian Federations punishments for financial crimes, lost of fines in that area of Russian law [0].

Like I said in my original post, you have to abide by the local rules. The Russian government viewing a like as a prohibited political speech and the associated punishment would be following the local rules.

No, the ratio is lower in cities [1], only 16.9 in Beijing, which has the highest city ratio. I'm guessing because of the very large poor population, it drags the average income down, whereas people in cities aren't making poor farmer wages, so the individual city ratios are lower.

Removing the requirement for one of the most innovative (therefore untested) treatments ever. Sure, what could go wrong? I would not bet on naively trusting in Big Pharma as a good strategy. It's not like they were very ethical actors in the first place.

Gotta love btw HN people complaining about regulatory capture when it comes to Boing and the FAA, but when it comes to vaccines being blindly pushed by the FDA that's all peachy. The amount of brainwashing is impressive.
Different? yes.

To match the growth expansion of prices? Absolutely not.

An apartment not even within main cities or rather 2nd or 3rd tier cities will still cost 300-500k USD, is made of questionable design and safety, isn't much more than a concrete box, and you don't even full own the land but rent it from the builders who actually purchased the right from the CCP for 70 years.
I'm an outsider but it seems to me the difference between academia and opensource/hobby forums is massive:

In opensource the attitude is "See bug? Send a PR!"

Whereas academic papers are like publishing software into a blockchain (and not source but binaries, i.e. PDFs full of shortcuts): you don't want for people to easily find bugs and contribute fixes, so you handwave a lot so that no one can reproduce your exact thing.
Maybe it’s not a separate conversation? Maybe you shouldn’t be allowed to speculate on the futures in your company’s sector?
Open social looks really awesome, but also looks intentionally hard to find the source code to, and figure out how to run it.

There are no pricing information or demo videos on the website, so it's hard to know if the saas pricing is even feasible, and no video to help engage interest. It just says "request a demo". Why can't I watch a pre-recorded demo?
I have lived in California, I am living in Europe. Build quality is very different. Not sure why you think it is an imagination.

The algorithmic stuff could actually be good if you could use it on demand and control its parameters, like a supercharged search page.

There are times I want to discover new content, it would be nice to be able to set the algorithm's parameters just right for a particular topic and see what it has to offer, then rinse and repeat for other topics.
> nobody was ever fired for

hm that means 2 things there...
I'm not going to tell you to 'learn your place' like other commenters, or even suggest you change your attitude.

Employment implies a power gradient between you and the employer.

The thing that sucks is that income is tied to employment for most of us, and it's OK to express the fact that this sucks.

How do we go beyond this? This is a problem I've found difficult to resolve myself.

For people who are creative, and good at what they do (as you seem to be) it's always going to be a struggle to fit into a structure like that.

Because I am a freelancer, I've worked at a lot of different companies.¹

What I've noticed is that sometimes they love you and praise you, and other times the hate you and blame you. In one situation you are a hero, in another a pain in the ass. Sometimes both even happened in the same company/team.

All the time I'm the exact same person. We all have a mix of personality traits that we bring to our work. Some traits the employer will like, some they won't. But what I've learned is that they all come together. They are a package deal.

So despite the posts below that encourage you to change who you are, I am suggesting you should just be more conscious of the interplay between the qualities you have in your 'bundle' and how to best deploy them in each situation.

I've also learned to take blame and even praise from employers with a grain of salt.² They are just trying to shape your behaviour, and will probably change their opinion of you next month.

So in the end it's a relationship. In some cultures they don't look for soulmates, they just marry a decent person and move on, saying to themselves, most [husbands|wives] are pretty much the same.

I think they are onto something. Find a 'good enough' employer, and stop looking for your 'soulmate job.' Do decent work, then go home. And find some hobbies!

1: Lots of short contracts, by mutual agreement. Also a handful of full time jobs.

2: A quote from the Buddha on this:

Just as solid rock is not shaken by the wind,

Even so the Wise are unmoved by blame or by praise.

I was actually looking at building a script like this. Have you found anything that does it already? If not, I was just going to make a small python script with readonly access to my Youtube account that pulls down my Watch Later video IDs and feeds them to youtube-dl on my NAS. Sounds like a fun Christmas vacation project.
You can get the same by using quality drywall and insulation and proper air gaps.

The minimum code built house will not get you that, but it is easily achievable with stick built.

Concrete and steel are still superior of course, and I opt for those in commercial construction. But I have never seen a need for concrete and/or steel in suburban home construction just for noise.
If it were that easy to build...why did you just have a "person with a few hours of basic html/css" do it?

Surely you had an intern who could've knocked this out in a week? Or yourself in an afternoon?
Wouldn't this also imply it preferable to receive the injection in the right shoulder rather than the left? It's also further from the heart, after all.
