Serious Answer:

1. I think that I have a right to participate in the digital commons without selling my soul to my choice of two possible corporate masters (Apple or Google).

1A. Corollary, the digital commons necessarily includes the ability to interact with the Internet in a mobile way.

2. There are mobile applications that have such a marked and clear positive impact on my life that doing without them is not merely an issue of convenience, but an issue of capability.

2A. These applications, through market forces, are only available on mobile devices running common mobile OSes.

3. My means of income requires me to fit as much as possible a societal mold that includes availability during reasonable hours via a mobile device.

3A. My employer is not one of the corporate masters, and they have no right to interject themselves in my relationship with my employer that I entered into voluntarily.

When put together, these leave you only one viable option which is running secured hardware with a de-Googled version of Android. I don't see why /this/ device is any better than a Pixel + GrapheneOS done yourself, but the above explains why someone would want a Pixel + GrapheneOS.

You are welcome to disagree with my reasoning, but it is sound.
What about the fire effect?
One of the issues that QUERY solves is that POST is overloaded and is being used for purposes beyond its intended responsibility. Shifting that overloading to GET feels to me like just another hacky approach. I prefer the well-defined, single responsibility that QUERY brings and restores to POST.
Ozarkian here - we have names where additional syllables are added when we're annoyed with the person.

It's "Karen" in normal conversation, but if she brought storebought cookies to the potluck it's "Kar-in-nuh", with the emphasis on the last syllanble.

In my head, these are called "spite syllables" :)
Absolutely. It is hard for me to believe that Holmes didn't intentionally seek out powerful, influential yet clueless men. The fact that she had connections to them certainly made things simpler.

I remember first hearing about Theranos in the New Yorker profile of Holmes. The presence of Schultz, Kissinger and other non-scientist powerful old men struck me as extremely odd at the time. And given her youth and appearance, it is impossible not to speculate about her effect on them, intentional or not.

Also, the book made it very clear that Schultz's judgement was clouded by personal feelings. He blew up his relationship with his grandson over his defense of Holmes; the grandson saw what was going on.
Back out a step. What about meeting locally with people who have similar travel schedules and interests? (Sounds like another site mentioned here.)
Or meeting people already en route ?
Back when airplanes had lounge space, my mom would ask the captain to page a call for anyone interested in playing bridge.
Pretty sure you’re using “xxx” as “some generic search term” but if you include literal xxx as a search term, you’re almost definitely going to get some skewed search results.
I definitely can relate!

As was mentioned above I think building something you can use yourself daily (or regularly) helps. When I my side project that’s where o get excited about continuing to develop it.

And as you mentioned in your post I’d recommend not “obsess[ing] over every UI” detail. Might be a good idea to just make it ugly/imperfect for V1 intentionally?

Really just try to add the basic functionality MVP style. And since you’re using it regularly you will find little features you really think are necessary or bugs throughout the day to add to your list of things to do on your next planned programming session.

And I’d recommend picking only one side project and sticking to it, only one is important so you see more progress quicker and sticking to it is important because sometimes you just need to keep doing it to finish v1. Then you’ll have that as a milestone.
> IP is not property.

It is, and not just because it is in the name. It is the right to exclude people from a defined set of actions with regard to a defined subject, which is exactly what property is.

(Now, you may think it is not, in your value system, the kind of thing in which property rights naturally exist, and it's pretty clear that the authors of the copyright clause were at least sympathetic to this for the kinds of IP it authorized, which are limited in scope and to advance a defined public purpose.)
Do people not read what they pasted before hitting 'enter'?

Agreed. Probably the best recipe app around, just for the built-in browser that lets you grab any recipe from a site. I think I've run into one instance of a site that it couldn't scrape, out of hundreds.
Better: Use AnyList. It has a feature to import recipes. The result is that not only get to view a clean copy of a recipe, but a clean copy is stored in AnyList for easy reference later.
"Traditionally", memory/storage uses kilo=1024, etc, and data transmission uses kilo=1000. So 32kB RAM means 32,768 bytes and 32 kbps means 32,000 bits per second.

Then at some point hard disk manufacturers decided to change and to use SI prefixes as well. Iirc that was when off-the-shelf HDDs reached GB scale.

This all lead to the creation of kibibytes, etc. which I think is clear and solves the confusion created by effectively using SI prefixes incorrectly.
Should you use Google jobs or LinkedIn?

Alright, fair point.
After looking through the cards, I'm vaguely sure that if I just read up for a while on each of them, I'll have background for a sizable chunk of Hunter Thompson's and ‘The Illuminatus’ 60s universe. Surprised that Crowley himself is not there.
I think you ought to actually explain the conflict of interest.

I'm trying to find a clear connection between Theranos and Andreessen-related investments. I can't find evidence of an actual investment in Theranos.

I'm not trying to dismiss you -- your theory[^1] could very well be totally right and there truly was a conflict [my duck-duck-go-ing skills only go so far]. And yeah, perhaps a person married to a wealthy tech investor ought not write high-profile articles possibly related to their partner's investments, and that publishers should be more wary of publishing such articles.

Yet I do get frustrated seeing these sorts of vague cynical quips levying specific accusations based more upon a gut plausibility of a scenario rather than a clear outline of information. It's easy to throw bread crumbs into a forest and connect them to make a path, but that doesn't mean you've found a useful path.

EDIT: Here is a somewhat-arbitrarily-selected article I found which discusses this topic: https://www.vox.com/2015/10/29/11620186/nyt-public-editor-bl...

[^1]: Technically you wrote that you were sure there was no conflict of interest whatsoever, but surely that was in jest.
Hi, this is Simon, one of the team members that worked on labeling.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by building feature sets.
Regarding workflow, we are still open to suggestions, but the general concept is treating annotating a bunch of files as a feature.

1. Create a branch from the current state

2. Create an annotation project on that branch

3. Annotate a bunch

4. Commit to the branch

5. Repeat 3 and 4 like you do with code

6. Open a PR
During 2020 and the Covid pandemic I just stopped buying meat. It seemed ridiculous to keep paying 70-80% of my grocery bill for just a few pounds of very low quality meat. A friend asked me to pick up a ribeye steak for a date and it was $12 a pound and looked like it came off a starving middle aged dairy cow. Zero marbling and super lean for a ribeye. Dad used to buy steaks like that to grind up for burgers at $2/lb less than 10 years ago.

Fresh vegetables have gone up too, but I'm not paying 20-40$ for a single 4 person meal anymore. Even the meat alternatives are starting to get competitive per pound. Even better is I can grow those in my back yard too.
I usually paste into notepad++ first to make sure formatting is right. Guess this is a good habit for everyone to get into.

Compiz was probably the single most impactful event for desktop linux of the mid 2000's. Not that it itself made much of a difference, but the ripples affect many areas we take for granted today. A few reasons:

- it put linux ahead of windows and mac in terms of appearance;

- it brought many new users and most were a good mix technical and enthusiasts;

- it showed the advantages of modular software;

- many plugins were useful and these useful plugins influenced desktops to this day;

- it was fast, stable and cool enough;

- it brought many new developers;

- it was an incentive for vendors to improve 3d linux drivers;

- it made X.Org developers improve redirection,

- it came by default on the most popular distro from 2006 to 2012.

Yes, most of the effects were useless but even they helped developers and designers to decide what not to include or do in the future. It pioneered useful things like selecting an area of the screen and saving it directly to a file, useful zoom and quick visualization of non-visible windows. It also showed how important compositing was on the desktop. Although probably not in direct influence, there is a reason android, wayland and whatever comes with ChromeOS all have compositing features.

At the time, there was some interesting developments and experimentation: métisse, sun's looking glass, bumptop, deskgallery... none of them was as successful as compiz. I'm proud I was myself part of it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X9bcrJ3TjY) and have my name written in some of its source files to this day, even if almost nobody use it anymore.

I think it's more complicated than a simple left/right dichotomy. Bernie Sanders' biggest accomplishments as a Senator were giving billions of dollars to big ag as corporate subsidies (often to the dairy industry which donated heavily to his campaign). Giving taxpayer money to big ag is similar to the military industrial complex in that both sides of the political spectrum further it.
Polluting the DOM with spacer components (which are going to be styled with CSS anyway) as opposed to using grid, or flexbox, or just margins themselves (no float layouts please) is wasteful and needlessly complex.
Wow, that's really cool. I think I am going to use the Matrix shader on my private workstation. Will do a code check before I install it on my work laptop tho.

Thank you for the correction. I was just looking at the Wikipedia page when I claimed "FAA Certified", and that appears to most likely be incorrect. I was not previously familiar with the TCDS List - thank you; I'm going to use this as a future reference.
Until recently we didn't vaccinate children under 12, we still don't vaccinate children under 5. I'm sure there are other groups of people we will never vaccinate. Therefore it's not completely bonkers to believe that you personally don't need the vaccine because you're in a very special group of people while also believing that almost everybody should get vaccinated.
> Youtube is uset generated content, can't compete with netflix.

Yes, but those many top YouTubers make great videos and were looking for a way to transition to paid content. I feel, if Netflix leadership had the right chops, they would have seen an opportunity here and spent a tiny fraction of their massive content budget to court some of these creators and have them make expanded videos for Netflix. Instead, these creators banded together and made their own streaming platform which receives free advertisement on YouTube.
And nor do I say China has done nothing. They just aren't the infinitely-resourced borg that will end up overtaking everyone in everything that people seem to take as a safe assumption.

It seems that we agree.
Wondered about that. I kind of suspected US v Lopez might have ended up being just a meaningless formality in practice. Thanks for the clarification.
I get it. The challenging part is fun. You can learn all the corner cases, the clever bash-isms, and then show off. But the code you end up with is essentially unmaintainable, especially since you don't have any test coverage, so...

Growing up somewhere with a strong accent (the Ozarks), I often find myself in the position of knowing exactly the right word to use in a situation, but having never heard it spoken aloud. I've always intended to learn how to use a phonetic alphabet (e.g., IPA) but haven't had an easy path to it.
Native English speakers can pronounce the unvoiced version in "kept", is it really hard to replace the voiceless 'p' with a voiced 'b'?

For what it's worth, "bt" is not a common combination in my native Romanian either, but it is not hard to pronounce.
The irony of having an ad supported app to scrape recipes from ad supported websites. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Show HN: Detect broken __slots__ in Python libraries
__slots__ is a good way to make Python classes more efficient. There is a catch though: you need to use it consistently in all base classes, or you don't get the full benefits.
This is easy to forget, and there's nothing warning you if you mess up!

After fixing this in the `returns` library, I decided to create a tool `slotscheck` to detect this common problem anywhere.

I ended up finding broken slots in popular libraries, and even the stdlib. (see my blog post for the findings: https://dev.arie.bovenberg.net/blog/finding-broken-slots-in-...)

You have missed the point. There should be no urge inside you to remove opinions if you were mentally mature. You would just disagree, ignore or maybe even argue against it.

People that demand social media companies not arbitrarily censor content is not a legal argument. And most social media company actually agree on that, they fear litigation and/or the wrath of less mature people or they want to err on the side of caution because people that tend to like burning books still exist.

"But it's bite does not match its bark when it comes to developing and inventing new ideas and technology."

You just had a huge thread of repeating this over an over, and you have never stated why you believe this, what have you counted or measured to arrive at that conclusion? Patents? GDP growth, scientific papers? Is it 'just a feeling'?
Well, frankly sentences in the USA are barbaric. We also have the habit of handing down terms that are impossible to satisfy, eg. for probation. They'll take away your drivers license then tell you to appear in several locations around town to avoid jail (btw a driving infraction isn't always necessary, although even if they did commit a DUI, that doesn't change the practical side). You'll get charged money and taken to jail for being too poor. It's not uncommon to resort to crime to raise money to pay the state to avoid jail.

All that said, I would hope for at least 8-12 years, possibly more. I don't take that sentence lightly and consider it very harsh (I can't stand people from the USA that consider less than 5 years and "easy sentence"). 3 years is a serious sentence, and 8-12 is extremely harsh, for good reason. It's very important to me to call this like it is. There should be heavy handed punishment, because this is among our most serious crimes.

She blatantly lied multiple times about a medical product. She had a team of enforcers harass people who tried to talk. Across the board, it was a very extreme case. More importantly, with so much at stake, these type of white collar crimes are quite frankly worth committing if the sentence is less than 5 years (I'm not sure the exact number, but it's at least 5).

For a substantial portion of the population, having that kind of wealth and influence for a short time is worth it; in some cases, even if you die. So it might not deter everyone, but I do think the possibility of spending lots of time locked up, will stop a lot of gray area people.

I also think it is necessary for fairness. I care about making these crimes "not worth it". At a certain point, you're basically letting people keep their ill gotten gains. Getting to be king for a decade, then go away for a year or two is no punishment at all.

I don't think 10-20 years is necessarily inappropriate.
> This makes perfect sense if your role is in bookkeeping / accounting / finance. Your life is based on pay periods and not on day-of-year/month. A particular pay day "belonging" to a particular year is a meaningless affectation: people need to get paid every two weeks come hell or high water, and anything that can complicate the smooth running of that process is discarded.

It's not just payrolls, it's also things like deliveries or synchronisation. And saying "monday week 15" (or writing "W15 mon") aside from being short and precise can give a better ground for synchronisation or collision than "April 11th" e.g. the person you're talking to might know that every monday would be an issue and be able to say that that's not an option before even looking it up.
Synopsys still has an office in Switzerland, to the best of my knowledge, and this sounds like it might be along the line of work you're interested in.
The hard part is when there is a quick and un maintainable way to implement something without leadership to demand doing it the right way. Some times the quick way is the best way. It just needs to be explicitly stated and decided. Too often there's discussion but no decision and no follow through.
It does work, the key is you have to do more than send a text or email or just call someone (not picking on you, just my own personal lesson). You have to talk to people about their business and see what is happening. This is literally how I built 2 different companies in different spaces over the years (neither of which I own now). One thing you can do, and I used, was I was consulting as a way to identify problems in spaces I was active in and had knowledge around.

It isn't that you can't guess a product and sell it, the chances just get lower and lower unless it is a pain point you know affects people willing to pay for it. Or you have significant R&D funds and you can spend them to iterate to a solution.

I've got a notebook I keep of issues/ideas I hear people complain/talk about and I explore topics with people when I can to see what might be interesting & real. I have tons of ideas in there, likely 90% (or more) would be fun to build but be worthless as a business or even a side project (at least right now). That's why talking to people is so critical.

If you have a good idea take it to potential clients and try to sell it, if they bite then you potentially have something, but do that before you build a whole system.

The reason why I say this too is I've tried to start a side project based on something I thought was important and it was depressing when no one saw what I saw (outside of friends who gave friend type validation) and then that killed my interest. But instead when you go to 20 businesses and 10-15 say yes that would be good and it is worth $XXX to me each day/week/month/quarter or whatever then you have motivation to keep working it. Getting some form of validation is motivating to most people, so it helps keep you moving even when things aren't going great.
You might be interested in Paprika, it can import recipes from anywhere, let you edit/save them, and scale. It's got a ton more features than just that but it's a great app and worth every penny.
Neat! I didn't know that it had cameras pointed at itself until now.
I think as a general rule, probability is more important to dissuade things like speeding or murder. I think advanced financial crimes and especially fraud have such an inherently low risk of getting caught quickly enough (after all, by definition they weren't caught by the sophisticated investors who have the most to lose) that we will have far more success by having heavy punishments.
It amuses me how cryptocurrency boosters invariably point to other actors being the reason why relative adoption is low, instead of looking within to its own weaknesses, like the user experience sucking. It always has to be someone else's fault.

> Henry Kissinger etc. would attach themselves to it without compelling evidence

An endorsement from Henry Kissinger is hardly an endorsement. There were far more prominent and well-regarded VCs attached to Theranos to support your point, however, which I think is well-founded.
It almost sounds like there should be states funding creation of a competitor simply to prevent the "fire impacts entire global industry" kind of news we're seeing today.

So, my larger point is that no, that repo doesn't seem to be called for.

For malware and the like, repurposing extant DNS-based blocklists as in for uBlock Origin / uMatrix should be viable, and not require an additional curation effort.

Note also that we're looking at a browser extension, and as such, very large lists and memory load would probably carry significant negative impacts.
Apparently not a serious crime it would seem, since no prosecutor seems to care. It is very clear that in the current court system defrauding rich people is a much worse crime that 'accidentally' killing a few poor people. Had she gotten drunk and killed someone with her car, she would be looking at a much lighter sentence.
Note: native English speakers don't pronounce "depth" with a t and h sound, they use a different consonant, where you basically bite the tip of your tongue and blow air over it, without engaging your vocal chords (the "th" in "the" is pronounced the same, but this time using your vocal chords as well - like the difference between 'p' and 'b').
