Jackie is a genius, no doubt.

There’s a big difference in movies though. Jackie is basically always a human fighting humans. He is always either fighting an extremely competent opponent and it will be fairly serious martial arts; or it will be him comedically fighting a ton of goons which you know are way weaker than him but he’s got some sort of hilarious disadvantage. But it’s always somewhat grounded.

Superhero movies tend to have weird matchups where the balance is already heavily skewed.

Shitty movies do this dance where the bad guy is slightly stronger and does irrelevant damage to the protagonist before being one shotted by a dumb trick, which is probably a call back to something earlier in the film.

Better films actually have this implication that in a fight, if an opponent does their thing, you’re going to die.

Marvel is starting to do more of the latter. It’s just much more rewarding when protagonists win by virtue of competence and their own abilities.

This fight contains no particularly good martial arts, has a lot of cuts, and has a lot of big blasty attacks but they’re all very juicy and you do believe the threat is real. It’s especially good because everything both characters are doing are somewhat novel to them. It’s on the fly improv and physical character development.

Very different from Jackie’s stuff but I think very good.

> Either way, it's a fact that parental income is the best predictor of future income. Not educational attainment.

Sure, but they are interrelated factors and they way they effect the distribution is complicated. This study was linked elsewhere and does control for parent's income: (I didn't vet the methodology or data, just looking at what their reported results say.)

https://research.upjohn.org/empl_research/vol23/iss3/1/

One of the reasons that parental income is such a strong predictor of child income is because parental income has a strong effect on how much college will increase your income.

Interestingly enough, that effect is quite disparate based on more than just parental income.

The study says that low income whites see only a 12% boost to income from college while high income whites see a 131% boost to income from college. Interestingly, blacks show an even higher boost to income from college, 175%, and parental income had no statistically significant effect on this boost.

Also interesting is how those effects play out when you look at different parts of the income distribution. Parental income increases the average effect of college, but doesn't significantly affect the median effect. Thus a lot of the increase to the effect of college on average incomes [edit: for children of higher income parents] is from gaining access to the long tail of very high income outcomes.

So the answer is if you are a poor white male, college is far less valuable than if you are female, rich or black (in increasing order of college effect size.)
Right, but general relativity matters for how astronomers define their timescales, and how they are measured and maintained in practice: there are different scales for barycentric time (at the centre of gravity of the solar system), geocentric time (centre of the earth) and terrestrial time (on the surface of the rotating geoid). TAI is supposed to tick at the same rate as TT, so it depends on a model of an equal-gravitation version of sea level (the geoid) and the relative height of the time labs. In particular, NIST is a mile high in Colorado so their clocks tick a lot faster than (say) NPL by the Thames in west London.
The "Great Resignation" seems to be overblown in certain ways for the reasons that the article addresses. Some types of quitting that may prove to be more persistent are people who chose to retire slightly earlier, and dual-income households that decide that one partner should stay home for child-care because the costs of child-care are higher than the benefits of both partner's working.

The opposite. I’m observing why the rich can get richer, because they don’t need to make ends meet. But I am not saying it’s a good state of affairs.
I think the spirit of the post got overrun by (likely accidentally) making the title so clickbaity.

Bash can run any program, that's why you don't advertise running a program with it in your title unless the program is (at least mostly) in bash which is an interesting constraint to go check out. There are some really whacky crazy interesting things done in actual bash scripting including internet applications like this via bash's builtin /dev/tcp functionality... come to think of it this might actually be one of those crazy "I did it in pure bash"able things.

I'm sure most on HN knew you could pipe the output of a media application like ffmpeg into something like curl instead of locally. All of the exact options and methodology used here off the top of their head? Very unlikely but is that really what this title sets the expectation of?

I don't think mocking is the best recourse but I'm not sure it's much more useful to argue the author should only be receiving blind encouragement in cases like this either. Like I said I highly doubt the author had any malice when changing the title for HN but I also understand why many don't want to blindly encourage posts where the title can be so misleading/confusing.

Ironically "Creating my own free and easy to use internet radio station host" would probably have gotten even more attention with almost never of the pushback and the project work on norns is probably worth its own post.
> does teleport's sshd 'listen' on port 22 and does it need an opening in a firewall?

Sorry, one of those crappy it depends answers. The teleport node agents, the agent running on the server you want a session on, can be configured to listen to inbound connections from the proxy (but doesn't use port 22 by default), or can be configured in a reverse tunneling mode where it does outbound dialing towards the Teleport proxy service. When using the reverse tunneling mode, you don't need inbound access to the end nodes, but still need the nodes to be able to make an outward connection to the Teleport infrastructure.

This is how the cloud hosted Teleport works as well, we can't be expected to have outbound network access to peoples machines, so all the agents will dial the cloud hosted proxies, and setup reverse tunnels that are then used for the inbound connection requests.

In most setups though, the Teleport Proxies would then still have inbound connectivity and are meant to be internet facing, so a client can request an SSH or other session, but that single way into the environment can be hardened, layered with additional security, as the environment may require.

Note: I'm affiliated with Teleport, my comments are my own.
Judging by some of the other suggestions, it definitely scraped some student assigments. What's interesting is that it seems to be combining parts of them in a way that is not wholly mechanical.
Hopefully, "support" and "investment" are code for "contributions" and "donations".
Wonder if that would be legal under ACA and other existing laws regulating health insurance. You can do it for tobacco use but can't do it for a whole lot else. They'd probably need Congressional approval and if that were possible, Congress always would have passed a mandate law instead of the Executive Branch trying to make their own law.

Free beer C and C++ tooling you mean.

Plenty of nice tooling like Purify, Insure++ and V-Tune exist since decades.
It's only partly true,
many people indeed have a Minitel at home, because it was free to have one (like it was free to have a landline phone). You only had to pay for the usage. And there was great services not yet available on WWW : find the train timetable, find the phone number of someone, chat with a (fake) sexy girl...

As for the PC penetration, there was many, but most of them where not ready for network usage : Commodore, Amstrad, Amiga, Thomson and first generation IBM-PC with MS-DOS. Only the last Amiga, Macintosh and IBM compatibles had the software to use a modem (Thomson had included a Minitel as dual bot in some of their computer instead).

There was no need for internet or to change the computer when WordPerfect, Multiplan and games still work perfectly. At the time, the pricey computer than you bought in the 80's was still good enough in the 90's...

I think than what had incite people to get a computer with modem is not WWW but email (with was not a Minitel feature). The real thing than Minitel hindred in France are Bulletin Board Systems. They where never really a thing in France.

For the curious, there are still a few unofficial Minitel services available : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro-serveur_Minitel All you need is a Raspberry Pi and a modified Minitel...
I still do this. I never watch youtube videos on youtube anymore. It's a better experience. VLC is a better player, there are no ads, there are no comments, there are no recommended videos trying to bait me, and I don't even have to enable javascript for google's domains.
Well, it would be the opposite to what we want: R inside vscode. Anyway, we have yet to try R inside jupyter notebooks
That too, but the CDC stats suggest that female-on-male is more prevalent than male-on-male, although they call female-on-male "made to penetrate" and only call male-on-male "rape" which confuses people into thinking the opposite.
Eh, no. Many navies have corvettes and frigates that are very lethal, and definitely something worth tracking. Modern DDGs are very large (the Arleigh Burke is 9k tons).
That's why we should eliminate leap seconds/minutes/hours and just change time zone definitions to keep the sun overhead near noon.
Probably not a lot in the modern times because events like people plotting to overthrow the duly elected president and actually going so far as to help orchestrate a violent invasion of congress to do so have been rare in recent decades.
System76 is just using Rust for COSMIC because the existing engineering talent here already use and like it for other things they work on at the company, like their device firmwares. It's a good common/familiar language for the teams they have. I don't think they're expecting Rust to do any magic for them.
> China has no ability to attack the USA domestically

I kind of getting tired of controlling myself about this type of comments that lacks the most basic understanding of the reality...

For God's sake, China has nuclear ballistic missile in the 60s...

I'm not trying to say you are wrong, but I've just turned 40, at my current job 2 years. I've never had a problem with age. It's a financial place, UK, lots of people 30s, 40s 50s.

Maybe finance is different?

We just hired a career change guy in his 30s straight out of code boot camp. In fact we have hired a few of them.

How much experience do you have? Is this an American thing?
Yes you have figured out the secret (tm) in my opinion. Sturgeon's law applies to tech which is to say 90% of it is crap. Don't waste your time with that 90% and if you find yourself in one of those positions feel no guilt whatsoever running away as fast as you can.
Honestly, sounds amazing.

If I have code where that isn't literally free labor for my business/project, I'll keep it closed source. If I have code where that's free labor but also competes with or commodifies my business/project, I'll keep it closed source or use GPL.

This sort of boils down to "only use MIT if you really mean it", right?
> I’m willing to bet it stays popular for much longer than that, seeing how it is becoming a daily habit/ritual for so many people.

And therein lies the contradiction - it has become a daily ritual because it doesn't demand continual "engagement" or trick people into becoming addicted: 2 things that will increase monetizability.

My thoughts are it's commendable for someone to share their delightful creation with the world for free. Something pure, with no dark patterns or gray areas. It is a breath of fresh air, and legitimately makes the world a better place for countless people. Thanks Josh!
I think we're in agreement. My point is that there's certain questions that certain roles shouldn't be expected to have the expertise to answer, and certain answers that make no difference to the job being hired for.

Say you need a builder for a house that an architect designed with wooden beams. Then you interview the builder, and ask them what kind of beam they should use for a theoretical house, and then ask them all sorts of questions about steel beams. Well they don't have the expertise to answer the first question, and the second question doesn't apply to this job at all!

Of course there's a body of knowledge that needs to be known. But I think we need to better codify what knowledge is needed by which people to do what kinds of work. And then have a way to establish that they know how to 'do the work', versus just having a body of knowledge.
Well, I don’t need to download an iOS app to play OP’s game.

> This is nearly a strictly American problem. Much of the rest of the world has realized that society requires and is capable of supporting advanced education for all -- after all we want humanity to be advancing, right?

Yeah subsidization of education, of mostly useless degrees will solve all problems of humanity, totally.
They say that it is kind of molecular test, what ever it means - everything has molecules in it. Looks like a fancy rapid test in a wasteful package based on the initial reading.
A complementary anecdote, I think worth adding here. I (male, white) served on a jury that comprised six women. The trial was a charge of sexual assault.

Every one of them had a personal tale of assault to tell. It was as tense in the deliberations as you can imagine... like 12 Angry Men [1] but even more harrowing.

I am convinced that the only reason we were able to arrive at a just verdict is because one of these jurors also had the courage to discuss the case of her beloved relative who was falsely accused of rape and was exonerated only many years later, after his life had been destroyed.

We were able to focus on the evidence. But it was not an easy deliberation.

> Even if you could afford the camera you still couldn't make anything like a Hollywood movie.

But what is a 'hollywood' movie? Do you mean one where predictably (like a Spielberg film) there is a certain level of technical expertise that comes off as very polished and perfect? Where I will add that that is not even the most important factor in many movies. After all movies are really entertainment and it's easy to be entertained by something that (if done well) was done on high end prosumer equipment. Now me personally I don't like the polished up 'hollywood' look either. It's almost to perfect and really not appropriate for every type of entertainment.

One thing I will say is that looking back and watching again many movies that I loved in the 90's that are 'hollywood' I don't like them as much as ones that I see now on Netflix. (Many of those are done super well technically but many are not and both often equally entertaining).

The company I work for does it so that bastions hosted on some public cloud hosting service are only accessible from the company network or by machines connected to its VPN. We handle _very_ sensitive data, and some engineer screwing up the configuration for a bastion would be _very_ bad. Defence in depth is important.
This was true in the past, but in many modern navies the destroyer is the _only_ class. Some fleets with a single class call their ships frigates instead, even if they're about the same size as comparable destroyers. In navies that do use destroyers and frigates, destroyers are larger than frigates.

I remember reading in an article that without 3D printing they could simply not get the cooling channel geometry they needed on the Super Dracos on Dragon 2.

Without 3D printing the combustion chamber they would need to use other cooling channel geometry, makin ghr engine heavier, bigger and less efficient.
This is extremely cool! Being able to tweak glyphs on the right and use them on the left is pretty amazing feeling.
If it's worth it, they can pay for that burden themselves.
I agree! I think they're just using Rust because they'd rather use it than C, not because they need safety guarantees for the DE applications.
Is this the case though? Can’t most programmers not use ssh?
Does the license permit it ? If yes then they're not doing anything that the author didn't want them to do.
Yet they stopped short of allowing arbitrary expressions in string formatting. (Good!)

The Rust team is striking all of the right balances between convenience and safe ergonomics.
I’m 64 years old, so I’ve been around a while. Essentially every woman I have ever been close enough with to discuss these issues has reported either being sexually abused as a child or raped as an adult. As a young man I never realized how widespread this is.

Show HN: Creators don't own/know their social media analytics
“You can’t improve what you don’t measure.” — Peter Drucker

With the global influencer marketing market valued at a record $13.8 Billion in 2021 , it's more important than ever for creators to access and own verified metrics.

It's hard for the 46M+ long tail creators to get an aggregated and influencer marketing-ready view of their social media analytics;

Social Analytics APIs unlock of trove of advanced metrics and dimensions, yet they're hard to access and manipulate;

It's critical for creators to display true/verified metrics when brands are searching and auditing for their next campaign;

▶ I've been working on the side to solve this problem and today I'm very happy to unveil what has kept my late evenings busy for the past 10 months:

ABSOLUTE CREATORS

The mission is to provide the 46M+ long tail creators with unmatched marketing-ready #analytics and tools to help them grow and engage in co-marketing campaigns.

Working with publicly accessible APIs, the current prototype app enables advanced Instagram analytics. IG Stories, Twitter and YouTube in the works.TikTok marketing APIs only cover ads at the moment.

If you manage an IG account connected to a Facebook page, you can to test it today — free iOS prototype app link https://apple.co/3HVqj3V

I truly really hope I will be done with tech by my early 40s (made enough to do something else less lucrative maybe). I don't think management will ever become so enlightened as to see humans fir their real capabilities. So, HN, please advise what else can I pivot to, that treats older people as increasingly expert instead of irrelevant.
> If you're a young, small, female, people will be in your space whether you want them there or not.

It's precisely when you're "young, small" etc. that this is not OK. These people are not being "friendly" to you, they should know better. And you're quite free to remove yourself physically from the interaction if they keep invading your boundaries.

> so I'll do things like hug my friends when they're sad

At least then you're initiating and thus controlling the interaction, with an acquaintance who's OK with it. It's not anything that you should be forced to do, but having one's boundaries be actively transgressed upon would likely be more stressful.
I'm just going with what the article used. I think MANGA is another acronym and is more pleasant to write or pronounce.

Distributing children of age 10 into groups based on their predicted future academic achievement works about as well as you would expect (i.e. not very well), but the redeeming feature of the system is that it is reasonably fluid and you can change tracks. You could, for example, do Abitur after completing Realschule and then move on to university. It is also possible to change directly from Realschule to Gymnasium at basically any point, if you meet certain standards. (You can also take university classes while in Gymnasium without too much trouble.)

There is also the Gesamtschule, which combines the three tracks (Hauptschule, Realschule, Gymnasium) into a single school.
