Well, that's the tricky part, isn't it. Because to a first approximation: yes, obviously.

But when you're allowing a third party to broker deals between you and a stranger where they exchange money for time spent in your home, it starts to look a lot more like you're a market-rate lodging provider and there's all kinds of civil rights law that should start to attach. Because the Civil Rights Act is specifically targeted against individuals making private decisions regarding their property (in a market setting).
Think you’re right about the FUD part, will tone it down. Still think numbers are a horrible idea, but this shouldn’t be consideration for most people.
And also considering how much in house software development there is...
I'm not sure if that's still the case, but BBC longwave broadcast was also used as one of the checks that British nuclear subs are supposed to use to determine that a large-scale nuclear attack on Britain has taken out their command (and thus it's time to open https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letters_of_last_resort).
Interesting, since they have Honeycode..."Looks like a spreadsheet,
works like a database"
Formatting is a very very distant minor gripe compared to what I think is the main reason this is a problem: versioning.

That being said, if it works, it works.

If it doesn't work, make a case for why and develop a _holistic_ understanding of the costs and benefits of changing the current process. Maybe you can change it, or maybe you learn why it doesn't change.

If it works, but it offends your sensibilities, perhaps this is an opportunity for self-growth.

The idea of leaving before the year mark at a company that does signing bonuses stresses me the fuck out. Don't you have to pay back the bonus? When I got an Amazon offer that was the case
I think the key is having at least something done. Nowadays, most of my new projects are done by copy pasting things I've done in previous ones. This reduces the time spent setting things up considerably.
Does Perl still have a hand-written parser because it wont conform to a BNF?

That's why I won't touch it.
I read all that a while back. It is good and about all you can get out of it is to conclude that ivermectin needs more study. Unfortunately its off patent and won't get much $$$ thrown at it. Its getting hard to ignore the growing mass of people that have just said, hey, this is obviously safe and I'll just try it. And holy sh-t it worked! (that's my story...).
Since almost nobody runs DNSSEC (try a list of popular domains, like the Moz 500, and `dig ds $domain +short`), this is unlikely to be a big issue for most people. There's also practically no upside to running DNSSEC, and a lot of downside (see: Slack disappearing from the Internet for a whole day).
The page presents as an almost pure black background, and almost 100% white text to me - about as high-contrast as you can get. Maybe this is a light/dark mode issue?
I see they've both been using Python for several years. The headline made me think it would be an interesting exercise if the instructors set out to learn something concurrently with their "students" -- it would be a way of showing learning techniques and how to go about finding resources. It could follow along with an external curriculum so that there are regular goals.
Nearly all diseases are worse if you're in bad health to begin with. That doesn't make them "not just diseases".
Synthetics are also more durable. I really like merino wool and I keep my eye out for a good sale but I generally won't pay list price.

I mean, browsers are full-blown GUI environments, for a long time now. Most usable cross-platform ones, at that.
The one time I was nearly in a serious accident was when I was in the fast lane on a nearly empty motorway - apart from a line of lorries in the slow lane, moved from the fast lane into the middle line without indicating... but one of the lorry drivers also moved into that lane nearly clipping my rear.

Yeah I was pretty shaken up about that one, because if he had clipped me, I would have ended up being crushed by a line of lorries.

Moral of the story: always indicate even if you don't think you need to.
An old friend of mine has long covid, the real deal, but she was also sick in covid for months in 2020. What she has matches post-viral fatigue syndrome perfectly, and she's getting care for it, from realistic doctors who've been saying that recovery is gonna be slow but steady. She's better now, a year later.

And then, just as you say, there's "long covid", which is a large number of people who have very generic ailments, and if you start digging into the numbers, you realize it's all self-reported bullshit, where a good chunk of the sufferers haven't even been diagnosed with covid in the first place! Their symptoms match depression very well, though.

It's extremely frustrating watching people like my friend getting ridiculed for having an imaginary disease. She doesn't. And at the same time it's even more frustrating watching a relatively huge number of psychosomatic hypochondriacs getting all the attention and using up the wrong kind of healthcare resources, just because a lot of people are using long covid for generating fear porn and want it to be worse than it is.
What classes are to instances, metaclasses are to classes.

This is from someone who has only ever read about, never used metaclasses, because they are widely regarded similar to git submodules. If you cannot really assert that you need them, you don't. They solve very specific problems, mostly found in library, not user code. A library can then allow user classes to be modified comprehensively. If you control the classes in the first place (not library code), you probably can do without metaclasses.
Yeah - on my phone it's WoB but on my desktop (which is dark mode) it's BoW
Exactly. This lawsuit is getting a lot of attention in board rooms because the pension funds are saying that the board is personally responsible and have been negligent in their responsibilities under SEC and NYSE regulations for cybersecurity.
Invisible Scripts of life and discussion making
It depends. Companies can ask for (or demand) the signing bonus back. But some won't. I've heard of it going either way - it's luck of the draw.
It doesn't have to be 100% effective, just as with the Great Firewall. Shutting down DNS would shut down most existing apps until they're updated (and also the app stores that are normally used to update them), and preclude the majority from accessing anything online.
I could definitely see AMD not bothering with a Zen 3 Threadripper. The current TR socket mess doesn't look fun to update, and there's a new socket right around the corner anyway.

But AMD is going to want to establish consistency with OEMs still, so Intel not having anything competitive right now is merely a reduction in pressure on AMD, not something that eliminates it entirely. A Zen 3 Threadripper Pro as a result still seems more likely than not, even if consumer Threadripper doesn't get a Zen 3 treatment. I'm sure AMD would also prefer to simplify the chiplets its fabricating as well. Why keep making Zen 2 chiptlets for TR Pro specifically and nothing else?

Which input method are you using that double quotes are ” (U+201C) instead of " (U+0022)?
Your approach seems a little like applying certain ultra-light hiking philosophies to one bag travel. E.g., Don't buy a fancy usb-powered travel toothbrush - buy a plain manual toothbrush and cut off the handle to save space and weight.
Current langs are javascript, html and (s)css - there's a dropdown on the toolbar to create a new file in a given lang (the others there are partially supported, no Tree mode commands). The goal is to support all popular languages, as they can be added fairly easily with tree-sitter grammars.
Or… use reduce.
This seems cultural for sure. I grew up in an apartment built in early 1970s with separate kitchen. To this day most apartments in my country are planned w/o open kitchens.

It is actually an ongoing joke with my partner, who has lived an open-kitchen life until meeting me.

PS: would be interesting to correlate enclosed kitchen with cost and availability of home labourers (slaves, maids, cooks, etc)
Amazon gives their signing bonus out monthly over the course of the year to offset the lack of equity in the first few years, so I don't think you'd have to pay it back in this case.
Eh, I'm somewhere in between the article and your reply. You need to work with entropy, but you can do that AND have 1000 year houses by trying to optimize for cheap, locally-sourced materials that regular people can work with, and tailoring your architecture to the challenges of your region.

I saw a thread on Twitter once about how some old Japanese homes are built on stilts that sit on flat rocks. When earthquakes happen, at worst the house shifts off the rocks. That kind of thing. Don't force a style on a place that can't accommodate it.

If a stainless steel beam goes out in 500 years, the people living in the area might not be able to replace it. But if it's made of wood, you've got a better shot at finding a tree and someone who can work with it.
Many cold war bunkers are kind of like this, but using rock that's already in-situ: start with solid rock (either in a mountain or in bedrock), remove some of it, in the cavity add linings of concrete, copper and steel to enhance properties as desired (copper for better EM shielding).
Profile Inference Revisited
At Amazon sign on bonuses are paid over the first 24month, so there is no need to pay back anything.
You have to pay them back pro rated. If you leave after 10 months you'd only have to pay back 2/12 of the bonus. At least that was the case when I started at Amazon (admittedly almost a decade ago).
Ex-Amazonian here, I agree with almost everything OP say. I have a few things to add in case HR is reading this:

- RSUs vesting schedule sucks, fix it.(5% - first year, 15% - second , then 5% each quarter, i think...)

- Internal tooling is pretty bad (frameworks, pipelines, ....) and the documentation is non-existent, and when it exists , is not very helpful.

- Amazon has the least amount of holidays of all FAANG, why?

- Make it easier to switch teams
The weight was the problem for me. document.body.style.fontWeight=600 in the console made it readable.

It also has <p> styled with a zero margin, which makes things hard to read as well.
I don't have dark mode enabled. What I see seems to be the default style, and is consistent across multiple browsers for me.
An afterlife doesn't by definition exist outside the empirically observable universe. Lots of people historically thought they could communicate with the dead with seances and such. One of the disappointments of the modern scientific age is the fact such efforts failed to live up to scientific scrutiny.
This misses a common reason to avoid wheels: upcharge on carriers that charge for carry-ons. If you are carrying a tiny bag/purse and it has wheels, it is at a minimum considered a carry-on, so you'll have to pay for it, and sometimes check it. Every time I take a cheap flight I hear some poor flight attendant explaining how having wheels puts it in a specific price class.
Fuel economy would be awful, though. Dragster style.
My only issue with this was the steel potentially rusting over 1000 years. There is a lot of water vapor that moves in and out of a house and mitigation of that water is important. Stainless steel will rust given enough time/water too.

Anti-corrosion coating on the steel and waterproofing of the foundation slab with a self adhered membrane are two overlooked points imo. Easy enough to tie in waterproofing of the slab with a water/vapor barrier on the walls and the roofing underlayments too.

Unsealed brick is also relatively weak if there is a significant amount of water vapor and prolonged years of freeze/thaw will eat away at the brick/mortar and reduce structural integrity of the facade.

I may be biased since waterproofing product development is my day job.

As for the other comments on the cost of steel being obscene, I'd counter that volumetric steel modular construction is a growing market. Steel is also more easily recycled than wood and lumber costs in 2021 were really high. Probably part of the reason Katerra went bankrupt too (mismanagement played a role too I'm sure).

I agree on the steel in the ground with corrosion, I'm guessing the author implies there is an anti-corrosion coating on there already (since not having one seems idiotic), but I suspect it wouldn't last that long and honestly it seems a little excessive since slab on grade is pretty common and I've seen 200+ year old homes sitting on big rocks that are sitting on compacted soil.

Fun article though.
They could augment the CT spec, such that only a hash of the domain needs to be made public.

Would be a great way to found LE :)
I don’t know the NY area well enough to offer much pointed advice for surgical stuff in particular, but you’re welcome to shoot me a message at “<hn username>@pm.me” if you so desire.

The two sites I personally use aren’t showing a lot of hits for the NY area, but I stumbled on this site, which should at least give you a baseline to determine if going cashpay over insurance is worthwhile: https://www.newchoicehealth.com/.

Hope this helps!
I think it is because the font is so thin it looks gray, even if the thin lines are made up of 100% white pixels. FireFox reader mode makes it readable though.
Biblically Inspired Pseudoscience and Clickbait Cause Looting
Interesting, I had two amazon offers and no signing bonus was like that. They essentially just prorated it out over the first two years as extra monthly income to be equivalent to the stock you would get in the later two years.
I like types, but I have a hard time seeing them in Python. If I was forced to use only typed Python, I'd just use golang and get a ton of performance and concurrency that I could never get in typed Python.

Good point about Django though. Django has so much historical stickiness that types probably look attractive for entrenched corporate projects that are hard to port to high performance natively typed languages.
> they may still choose

Which is the biggest problem, the TSA does not have to follow its own rules. And if you dare point out the rules to them, you will be told that "for your safety and security" individual screening is "up to the agent's discretion" and asked "do you want to fly today" while also being loudly informed that you obviously "do not care about the security of others."

This is why I am such a huge advocate for trains, though I imagine that if rail got more usable and widespread here the TSA would just infest it as well. Until that happens, I will always take a train for short regional trips. SEA to PDX might be scheduled for 45 minutes on the plane and 3 scheduled hours on the train, but the experience is so much better on Amtrak not having to put up with the sad mess our airports are.
That's correct.

Sciter supports ARM and M1 targets natively: Windows, MacOS and Linux.

As also H/W rendering with backends: DirectX, OpenGL, Vulkan(coming) and Metal (coming).
Very interesting. This is what I see - https://i.imgur.com/eV4yDd0.png
I think there are several differences here. Experts can give a ton of useful information, but they unfortunately can't answer everything for everyone for something as unprecedented and complex as Covid. In particular:

1. Experts speaking publicly are often warning of risks rather than saying "don't do X." It's a subtle but important distinction, and is very different from personal medical advice. Publicly stated guidance often leans very conservative, and there's more room for an individual to decide it doesn't apply to them than a doctor specifically telling you how to a heal your injury.

2. It's unclear which experts you're referring to and what exactly you're hearing from them. The restrictions in your original post aren't what I've been hearing, for example. Either we listen to different experts, or we're interpreting their words differently (per point 1) - or both!

3. Nobody is quite an expert in "solving Covid" the way they can be for healing an injury, and on top of that one can have reasonable yet fundamental differences with experts on Covid that don't exist for healing a broken bone (e.g. how you value the impact of mental health problems vs Covid illness; or what your level of risk tolerance is; or even the morality of potentially spreading covid, which is less bad than in 2020 since vaccines are widely available, but is it less-bad enough?). Experts can inform you of the risks of Covid, and how to reduce those risks, but it's much harder for them to tell you the negative consequences isolation: you know better than they do what those effects are on you, and so you have to weigh the risks yourself.

4. As you pointed out in your original post, there isn't a clear goal right now for Covid mandates. Healing a broken bone has an end goal that you and your doctor won't disagree about. But Covid currently doesn't, because there's sadly no expert with who has a really good answer to this: the vaccines worked, but not perfectly, so what's next? Nobody really knows, so you have to apply your own judgment (whether it's "lift mandates because we have vaccines and no clear next step" or "keep mandates to further contain Covid risks till we figure out a better strategy"), and hold your local politicians accountable to that.
The main example of a quantum leap that comes to mind is between energy levels of an electron of an atom, and that does involve emitting or absorbing a photon, carrying the energy that needs to be accounted for.

I don’t think what you’ve said is correct.
> by suggesting that the conversation goes private onto a forum Framework controls

AFAIK it will not go private, it will still be available for everyone to follow. HN is not exactly convenient place for user support (unless it's Google or Apple).
+1 for using chthonic in a coherent sentence.
My understanding is that modern concrete would last as long as Roman concrete would, if we built the same types of designs that Romans used concrete for. The big difference is that we want to span gaps without using large unwieldy arches, so we need tensile strength, so we need to use steel reinforcing bar in our concrete, which is the eventual pathway to failure. (Well, that and heavy machinery like semi-tractor trailers, which the Romans also didn't have to design around)

The Romans did not have the quantity of cheap steel necessary for this, so they ensured only compressive loads on their concrete, so it lasted about as long as you'd expect a random rock subject to only compressive loads in a field to last.

I'm just a home gamer so could be wrong. In large commercial breweries it is killed off, flocculated out with a flocculation agent then filtered out. It is killed at a certain time so the amount of remaining sugar is controlled.

Some microbrews don't do this and you can recuperate live yeast from those beers for brewing or baking.
Ask HN: Can anyone help explain remote access to my computer speakers?
Throwaway bc I'm pretty active here. I would love some help explaining a creepy incident I experienced a couple hours ago.

I was working on a Macbook at my desk when I heard someone speaking. There was a Sonos across the room playing music from my partner's phone, but the sound wasn't coming from that direction. My desk is where I have a gaming PC and connected to it are a set of Audioengine A5+ speakers - (they aren't smart speakers/connected to wifi). The speakers were powered on, but my gaming PC was turned off (not switched off, though).

I increased the volume of my laptop to check if that was the source of the voice but it wasn't, so I muted my computer. I tried listening to the song playing across the room but the voice was definitely coming from somewhere closer. I brought my ear near the left A5 speaker on my desk and could hear what the voice was saying. They said: "Do you know what duct tape feels like across your lips" in a creepy manner.

I Googled the phrase to hopefully find the lyrics to a song but there were no relevant results. The top "lyrics" result was by a band called the Insane Clown Posse but the lyrics didn't match up at all. The voice stopped speaking and I didn't know what to do, so I turned off the Sonos in case that actually was the source. I went back to my desk and tried listening to the Insane Clown Posse song on my phone and I heard the voice again from the A5 speaker. This time they said "duct tape, duct tape". I unplugged the A5s power cable and switched off my PC and haven't heard the voice since.

I'm pretty confident the voice was coming from the left A5 speaker. There are no other electronics on that corner of the desk besides a lamp. However, the A5s are connected to my gaming PC which has been turned off this entire time and resting on the ground in the same corner as the left speaker. It's a relatively new PC and I only have a few apps installed on (Steam, Discord, Epic Launcher). I received the A5s from a close friend years ago and have used them almost daily. No one has access to my computers but me and my partner who would never do something like this. I'm pretty sure none of my friends have anything to do with this. I do live in a dense urban area. I don't have history of mental illness/hallucinations. I also wouldn't say that I'm a target for any reason. Although I am very creeped out, I think this is more likely a prank than a threat to me.

Given all this, can anyone come up with a technical explanation? The only one I can think of is that my gaming PC was being hacked/remotely accessed and someone was speaking out loud or playing an audio file to prank me. The only action I've taken so far is change my WiFi's password (I was using the default password before). I appreciate any help here.
