Hello,
We are a group of 8 passionate about developing and helping companies automate and improve their processes with code, based in Colombia and remotely anywhere in the world.
We previously worked with YCombinator companies and it was excellent. Therefore, we would like to be able to participate in the development vacancies with the great benefit that you have, not 1 person but a group supporting your needs.
If you agree, we can have a meet so you can get to know us better.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to work together.

Best Regards,
Laura Bracho

People vote for that. The same people screaming about inflation would be screaming if house prices failed to beat inflation.
Mac App Store met a similar fate. Lots of developers published there because Apple asked them to, but it is an afterthought for both developers and users.

I think the biggest problem with HomeKit is that for most people the primary UI for their smart home is a connected speaker, but a $150-$300 HomePod isn't something you can scatter all over your house the same way as a $20 Echo.
If that’s the biggest problem you have with your database, be happy.
Does anyone have any idea as to how many C++ shops have adopted Rust or how many C++ projects have been converted to Rust? That's what I want to know in 2022.
Exactly. That's clearly not sustainable. Either new car prices will keep going up or used car prices will plummet. I think the latter is much more likely.
People have certainly tried, but I think that these comparisons don't make any sense. What makes the "waste" of crypto stand out is a qualitative concern:

HFT uses energy as a means to an end (i.e. computation), while proof-of-work mining has an incentive structure that directly rewards energy expenditure. In other words, one is energy- (and hardware-)bound, the other isn't.

As a thought experiment: If fusion energy and self-replicating nanobots were to become viable tomorrow, how would that impact HFTs and proof-of-work mining, respectively?
> between 0930h and 1600h there's liquidity to buy/sell your position at any time, for the prevailing price. Markets are open only 7h of the day but 24h worth of events takes place each day.

Yes indeed. The author claims that there is less risk in overnight positions than in intra-day positions. I think there's more. Firstly more time passes overnight and secondly the lack of liquidity means you can't unwind overnight positions if you need to.
The valve masks are designed for industrial use, like sanding or spray painting. Until 2020 those were the ones you’d see the most, since they’ve been readily available in home improvement stores for obvious reasons.

So putting some Anime digital illustrators out of work? ....or I could see many simply use them and pretend they did it themselves?

Obvioisly there will be plenty of illustrators doing custom work that these can't (yet) replicate.

Also good for those countless anime avatar'd Twitter users.
My favorite interview in the past was when the company took a ticket off the backlog and I asked questions to solve it. Aka they hired me for a half day.

They were available to ask questions, but mostly I was there figuring it out by myself.

In this case, I had never used golang before, but by the end of the half day, I had a solution I was happy with.

Sure they took a risk giving me access to the entire codebase... But as a tool to assess my ability it was top notch.

Later, when I was working there, that same ticket got prioritized and it ended up taking 3 or 4 days to solve by other team mates (my solution wasn't quite right).
This happened to us as well, but I know it happened all over our city. pretty standard for everyone who got a new lease during COVID times. I don't attribute any of it to inflation. Luckily, our new rent is still much lower than what they're charging new tenants, though.
You make various odd connections there that are just not true. Violent criminals do not thrive together with other violent criminals. By definition those are people who have trouble fitting in a society. There's a high chance of various bad things happening and so you need rules and guards and so on. It would never be a free society when talking about bad criminals and not small offenders.

Can you give a few examples of what sorts of information is best found in the dark web?
I can't believe we had 48% inflation, I must have missed it.

This isn't rocket science, see:

Surgical masks: Fluid resistant and provides the wearer protection against large droplets, splashes, or sprays of bodily or other hazardous fluids. Protects the patient from the wearer’s respiratory emissions. Does NOT provide the wearer with a reliable level of protection from inhaling smaller airborne particles and is not considered respiratory protection

N95 masks: Reduces wearer’s exposure to particles including small particle aerosols and large droplets (only non-oil aerosols). Filters out at least 95% of airborne particles including large and small particles.

The masks have and have always had completely different purposes. The fact that we are using both during this pandemic to protect against COVID not withstanding. Now, people are using surgical masks in novel new ways (with braces and such to try and retrofit a seal on them), but they were never intended for that.

Humour on HN is generally frowned upon.
Am I blind or does this paper spend a huge amount of time lamenting the failures to notice the issue, without ever once actually describing the issue. I don't claim to be very knowledgable here, so can someone fill in the gaps for those of us who want to know exactly why Fig 2. is so damning?
The interesting thing is that this is literally how all governments originally emerged.

The strongest local gang establishes a monopoly on violence in their territory. They then extract tribute (taxes) from the local population in various ways. If they get too greedy and extract too much, then eventually the plebs have little enough to lose to break their established order and fight the establishment gang. The most competent gangs find the equilibrium of taxation that is the maximum they can extract without suffocating production and innovation or creating an opposing revolution.

So, in locations where this has happened in modern states, it simply demonstrates that the "official" police and state have failed to manage their monopoly on violence properly, and are being actively out competed by a more effective organization that, if it continues to sustainably control its territory, will eventually become recognized as the new legitimate state.
> supply shock

The supply shock you need to be worried about is the shocking oversupply of new dollars competing for the same resources.
People keep using immutable like it’s a good thing. Any of y’all who still want to fully stand by the things you said, did, and thought 20 years ago might need to reflect a bit.
probably because there are still 2 days needed for settlement

crypto markets don't have this issue and are open 24/7
Well that would depend on the specific facts of your case, which is why we give judges some flexibility in sentencing. There's a huge difference between punching someone in a bar brawl versus pistol whipping a store clerk during an armed robbery.
TCA is a Redux/Elm-style data and state management lib that aspires to handle an app’s complete business logic, preventing devs from mixing the logic into the UI layer via SwiftUI’s @State and @StateObject. And contrary to Redux, it’s completely type safe and aware of deep component nesting (sub reducer states and actions are “pulled back” into their parent reducer pendants), so it allows truly composable components.

If you haven’t checked out PointFree’s content (authors of TCA among many other things), it’s one of the best resources on Swift and algorithms for sure.
Hm. Are you sure? Because the utf8everywhere article (and various microsoft related framework discussions) seem to suggest there's no validation anywhere. You can easily create partial codepoints and just hitting backspace in a text field can do it. That seems to imply there's no UTF-16 validation even at a higher level.

But I will readily defer to your expertise on this. I've not coded in microsoft land for like 18 years. MFC was my last experience in this, where I still have this vague memory of being shocked by an API returning an int32 and instructing on casting to a void pointer (overloaded response message). No wonder they had issues with 64 bit migration at the time.

Edit:
cite on the utf8everywhere thing.
"in plain Windows edit control (until Vista), it takes two backspaces to delete a character which takes 4 bytes in UTF-16. On Windows 7, the console displays such characters as two invalid characters, regardless of the font being used."

Maybe they've improved since though. But surely there's a lot of that baggage in the libraries.
Handshake is a blockchain based alternative for ICANN. DNS resolvers still work the same, and HNS could play nice with ICANN, but largely seem to want to replace it rather than be peers with it.

The general idea is that you can do some pretty interesting things with DNS records beyond domain name lookup and verification.
I think this is the most interesting part:

I discussed it elsewhere in the thread.
Newer vehicles have more DRM and more integrated systems, so they cost more to service and are therefore worth less than older vehicles. So these numbers make sense..
> own their home

For some definition of "own".

Most do have some amount of equity in their home and have a big fat mortgage to repay.

I am sorry, but that's not exactly "ownership" in my book.

As to your second point (inflation up => cost of mortgage down), only true if wages go up, which, unless I am mistaken ...
Home owners would be. They want their home value to go up. I can speak from experience that it sucks ass to be a first time home buyer right now.
By this logic, would it likewise be acceptable to dox someone who wrote a positive review of the book, if it is found that the author of the review works somewhere favorable to Krebs (with the implication being that their review would then have a positive bias, much like the other review has a negative bias)? The problem with doxing and vigilantism is that it exposes people to undue harm. That is not an acceptable way to conduct yourself.
I don't see the lie. As I said, I don't remember them ever saying that it was safe without mask. They only said it was not useful.

I would actually say that at the time, it was counter-productive for the general public to wear masks, because it prevented protecting health professionals.

I agree there is a bit of conundrum that "not useful" is not exactly in between "counter-productive" and "useful", and here you could argue that the "not useful" in Véran's mouth meant "doesn't protect". I definitely wouldn't blame you for that, and yes I'm being very nice to them for my interpretation.

The reality is that had they said "yes masks are super important, but it's even more important to give them to health professionals", we'd have seen what we saw with hydroxychloroquine (which is that people who actually needed it couldn't get it), but 10 times worse. Could they have twisted their words 7 times more in their mouth before saying it, so that it's not factually a lie? Yes sure.

Rates will have to rise to cut inflation. But EM countries will be the ones to pay the price in the end.

I understand most people on HN likely enjoyed a great run in tech bubble but you have to admit speculation here is simply mind boggling (even after the recent SaaS crash).
So you pay to post, otherwise who will pay miners to post blocks? That will surely disincentivize too much posting and solve inherent scalability issues. This service is a no go.
My friend who lives in Chinatown area says his condo value is still down from Pre-Covid. So he thinks city prices in general are down, not up like the rest of the U.S.
How is that a silver lining, isn't that the worst part of the problem?

In a more ideal world, we want mortgages to get more expensive (so that housing itself would get cheaper).

Labor shortage -> real worker power -> solidify gains with unions

Trying to boost unions when labor is on the ropes is foolish preaching from vicarious onlookers.
I believe the grandparent is suggesting using a smartphone in place of using a raspberry pi, not trying to extract the camera and connect it to the pi.

Because once upon a time people had to go in person to a building to trade and no one wanted to do that 24/7.

Now, we still maintain that for some markets. I'm guessing its a combination of laws, inertia, and the ability to do outside of RTH news/sys updates.

Some markets are open much more than the 9-430 stock market - for example futures markets open sunday night.

> If you rely on an incentive model of being caught in order to behave, something darknet doesnt offer, that says more about you than anyone else.

People who rely on an incentive model only are typically psychopaths or sociopaths.

What you are saying is that Darknet has no mechanism for policing sociopaths, and therefore is likely to attract them.
You're doing shady stuff with some fucked up people and it could be anybody incl the feds so reputation is invaluable.

I imagine its like ratings on ebay but much much higher stakes.
I love C# (but most of my use of it is via Unity these days). I feel the opposite way about Azure (it feels much clunkier than the alternatives to me), and so won't work where I would have to use it... But as other commenters have pointed out there seem to be plenty of people who have no issues with it (or use it despite how they feel).

Decide which data is actually important to you and what is merely a pain in the ass if lost.

An example of the former is family photos and videos.

If you don't make the distinction you'll inevitably slip up in trying to cover everything.

Where you go from here can vary, but a good rule of thumb is: "three is two, two is one, one is none" in terms of copies of data. Redundancy is your friend here.

Media taken on my phone is stored on a cloud account as well as the local device, and usually for backups I do the following in order:

- External hdd backup

- a Blu-ray/DVD backup that is stored at a different geographical location from my device.

- AWS Glacier in a region on the other side of the world. (You shouldn't plan to use this for disaster recovery, it's a last ditch hail mary restoration effort and priced as such. Super cheap to store, expensive to retrieve).

Again, swap out individual storage mediums/services with your own preferences, rsync, tarsnap, whatever. But the general outline remains.
A lot of dopey young people who have medium-sized inheritances/trust funds that they're gambling with in the hope that they'll never have to work, mixed with overpaid tech workers fresh out of college hoping to buy Bay Area homes.
Best option is to get the merraige visa. You can't work with the student visa. And unless you already have a contact, I think to get a work here (that offers visa) would be difficult.
You can play live 3month as tourist hop to Japan and come back move but that would be difficult with the pandemic and it is an uncertianty that would weigh on both of you. I'm a Korean my husband is a Brit programmer. We went through this route before and my advice is to look into marriage visa immediately. Its actually not that difficult and while it's comparatively fast it still takes some time. You can find my contact in the profile if you want.
I've been using Scylla for a project and have ended up reading quite a few of those blog posts. They are generally very well written and useful, but I've noticed the same sort of issues. There's the chat popup at the bottom, a banner for Scylla Summit, a cookie banner that doesn't seem to remember what I clicked, and a header with broken transparency.

For me, Cloudflare is the benchmark. Cloudflare.com is very clearly a marketing site, likely run by their marketing team, but their technical content such as their blog and docs are on completely different subdomains with a clean design with no popups or banners. I think this is the best way to run tech focused blog, making both developers and marketing happy.

It'll be really impressive once you add general relativity.
I’m not sure if it is or not. It’s something I’d actually like to understand.

I would imagine that if there’s a significant gap, most air would actually bypass the mask entirely. And “significant” here is still fairly small. I’m thinking you only need a cross section as large as your nostrils for most air to flow around the mask. And as you make the mask less breathable/more resistive, more air will bypass the mask.

But I don’t know how accurate my assumptions are.
> Matomo

Google may sometimes disable AdWords campaigns on sites that use Matomo. They "fix" it every once in a while when Matomo devs reach out to them, but the problem returns after a few months each time.

Eventually a company providing a UI layer will be the central access point for all the content coming from the block chain. The central point will then be able to censor posts. This is no different from OpenSea, or Coinbase.
PostgreSQL recommends you use the text type everywhere, and use CHECK constraints if you really really really need to limit a field’s length on the database level. (VAR)CHAR is considered a code smell. So many fields are artificially limited to 255 bytes because that used to make a performance difference on MySQL 15 years ago.
Uhh.. yes, I want to know the reasons for taking away and searching through a random person's computer
> I can almost guarantee that it's not someone with a guilty conscience believing that naming their branch differently absolves them of something they or their ancestors did.

"white guilt" doesn't necessarily care if their ancestors did it.

> But rather it's someone trying to follow a broader movement whose aim is to try to avoid terms they think are rooted in hatred or oppression.

It's annoying and sigh-inducing to be reminded that such a movement is full of people that don't understand how words work, that "master" has plenty of perfectly good contexts that don't imply "master/slave".

> However if you're really getting upset [...] that might be on you.

Nobody is "really getting upset" and that entire part of your post is needlessly insulting.
Just because something is not 100% effective does not mean that it should be abandoned entirely. All of the measures you mentioned still have some degree of efficacy.

The fact that breakthrough infections sometimes occur is not a valid counterargument against vaccination.
A similar thing is done for natural gas storage. A well will be drilled into a rock dome that lies atop a layer of saltwater-saturated sandstone. Gas is then pumped into it, displacing the water, and then can be withdrawn later.

I think it's embedding posts directly into the chain, so if you can sync the chain then you can access everyone's posts. Since these posts are cryptographically embedded in the chain you can't block any of them without blocking access to the entire chain, or attacking the chain and rewriting history.
Well for the actual trading they will be operating out of the same datacentres as the exchanges which are not particularly massive and will have relatively small limits on the heat (and therefore power). There will be other computers in other bigger cheaper datacentres for analysis and suchlike. And office buildings of course. But not really comparable to e.g. the energy usage of Argentina. I would guess the total is less than one of the massive internet companies like Google or fb but that might be a bit low.

I'm excited to try this out, I was toying with the idea of creating something similar.

I see a strong need for a microblogging framework where users have control of their data. Mastadon is great, but I think Zooko goes farther in the right direction.
The poor and creditors. The poor, because they have less discretionary income and it isn't inflating to cover their inflating necessary expenditures. The creditors, because their assets are depreciating. The debtors in the middle see their debt, the creditors' asset, deflating.
But spreads aren't larger in the morning are they? If anything they are smaller, due to the action of the opening auction. Without actual data to back up that assertion, the rest of it doesn't really need reading.

Assuming his assertion is correct, the reverse is also a strategy. Selling in the morning, causing prices to drop, then buying back when they are cheap in the afternoon, so ending flat but having made money.

So anyone that buys and then sells or sells and then buys makes money. This is easy! What could possibly go wrong?

My knowledge of this is maybe limited, i've not worked as a quant, but i've stared at a fair bit of market data having written feed handlers for a fund.
I’m not clear on “where” this sits, is it a framework for turning text into embeddings? Is it the database and serving layer (like Milvus, Vald, Pineconr, etc)? Is it just a Python package for generating and serving vector search in-process?
Typically over a Tor circuit I visit dark.fail and then switch to the onion url so that exit nodes arent being used

Onion addresses frequently change so no use bookmarking them

Dark.fail lists a variety of forums, marketplaces, marketplaces with forums, and their current addresses and whether those sites are up or down

It also has links to a variety of mainstream media news sources and various government resources that you can browse on native onion routes

Dread is the biggest forum, reddit clone. A variety of subreddits to hang out in and chat. It is often down though, at least compared to modern clearnet services.
But unlike work related injuries, we simply do not know when adverse effect will manifest. If, for example, an employee leaves a company shortly after submitting to vaccination mandated by her employer for continued employment, at most the insurance coverage will extend for a month after termination.
Maybe not directly, but I actually see plenty of complaints about link rot and news publications silently editing or removing old articles.
