Well, I suppose I don't go to stores that require subscriptions. The better analogy is the only way to buy a bagel for breakfast is to order a $30 all you can eat buffet every day forever. I just don't value bagels at $30. I want a la carte.

I don't think a 30-60 minute show is worth $14.99. Other things are only available on $50+/month live TV services. So, I end up waiting until there are a few things I want to watch on a subscription service, then buying or trialing it for a month, and cancelling. It's just annoying.
“Based on recent evidence, it has been concluded that there is “no safe level of alcohol consumption”(5)

Which definitely takes artistic license with what the cited article actually said, which was:

Our results show that the safest level of drinking is none.

Which is exactly like saying "The safest level of poppy seed consumption is none". Which of course completely dodges the question you'd really want to ask which is: "How many poppy seeds can you eat per day with either no or negligible negative health effects?" And in any case nowhere near equivalent to saying:

It has been concluded that "there is no save level of poppy seed consumption".

Moral of the story being -- the byline quote at the top of the article:

"The evidence is clear: any level of alcohol consumption can lead to loss of healthy life"

Is not only supported by the research it cites -- but irresponsibly alarmist.

Ask HN: Bootstrapped startups,how are you hiring these days?
2021 was incredibly hard on hiring tech. Companies going remote and the boom in salaries reduced the pool of affordable candidates for us by a lot.

If you're a bootstrapped startup, equity is not attractive and you're limited on what salary you can give, you can't compete with funded startups.

The only love we get is from lower tier candidates or those that want to work part time and we don't have pleasant experiences with part time, productivity per hour is very low.

Are there any tips you can share? Maybe even on how to find better part time hires or at least motivate them better?

It's funny you mention staying in New York to have a social life. I found it to be the worst place I've lived in the US for socializing. People are mistrustful of strangers, extremely busy, and often separated by absurd travel times (it can easily take 20 min to travel 1 mile without a car).

For those reasons, I wasn't able to make new friends outside of work, couldn't see my friends on weekdays, and generally felt lonely all the time.

Anyone else immediately thinking of that post about harvesting credit card numbers with js packages? That used some fun color package as an example for an entrypoint into your codebase.

Oh interesting; thanks for clarifying!
Wow you weren't lying. There is literally an ad every 2 paragraphs.

And each paragraph is 1-3 sentences.
There are some startups I work with that are still hiring in-person only. And conversely, I've spoken with a number of candidates who are (not surprisingly) sick of remote work -- and open to relocating. That market still exists, and we'll see how it plays out in the next couple of years.

At workatastartup.com, you can filter by "Not remote" jobs, but it's probably not as intuitive as it could be. We need to revamp some of our search filters accordingly. But until we have it, feel free to email me (ryan AT ycombinator DOT com) and I'll do what I can to help you find ones that might be a good fit.
It happens all the time when you get into certain verticals, it's just that humans are generally more likely overvalue assets than undervalue them and the broader "stock market" is the grandest of all overvalued assets
> The tradeoff you’re hoping to make is that the increase in talent pool outweighs the decrease in productivity.

No, the trade-off is being able to hire the best people possible instead of the best people who will work in the office. Honestly, the office has been dying since 4G and high speed internet got everywhere. Offices should be optional - there if you need it, there for meetings, team work sessions and presentations. We don't have to work like it's 1998 anymore.
I'm not saying you're wrong, only that finger pointing and figuring out who started it isn't helping anyone. Let's say for example Trump and Trump alone caused this. Fine, but now it's up to Biden to fix it. So far, doing nothing at all hasn't been particularly effective.
You must have some very strange definitions of both cheap and easy.

only thing i'm finding with that name is a section in "Wikipedia and Education", a 2011 text from Petar Jandric. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petar-jandric-wikipe...
It's all hyperbole, but there's truth behind it.

IMO, as a teacher: The kids are alright. For elementary kids, the rules are no big deal. For middle school, where I mostly teach... the rules are OK, but the unpredictability of what they're looking forward to happening (sports, dances, get-togethers, travel) is not great. Two years of indefinite uncertainty about everything good happening, with no end in sight, is crushing to adults, let alone kids with 13 years of experience in life.

In high school, it's a source of anxiety for some students. They don't want to bring a dangerous virus home or to their grandparents. Others refuse to comply with restrictions in normal adolescent defiance. Asking for the courtesy of wearing a mask is often a very "OK boomer" moment.

All of these things suck. But the students I work with are resilient and are working through it and making the best of it all.

I do think we should "call our shot" -- name some endpoints and acceptable levels of risk a priori, rather than making judgments heavily influenced by feelings and sentiments of the moment. This isn't enough to make the restrictions predictable, but they'll be more predictable than they are now-- right now we have to predict both the virus and how most other people will react to it to know what we'll be allowed to do.

Kelly Clarkson - she sounds ok. Not wild about it. Yes, I'm picky. Am I wrong? Compare her to Julie Andrews, decades past her prime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te85B8BjlSY and she still blows Clarkson away. And in her prime? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvQ4t-Nk128 still gives me chills to hear her. And that's what a song sounds like without autotune. Amazing!

Carry Underwood - she should never have tried to upstage Julie Andrews! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo6o1bhWlD8 It's good, but she is just not in the ballpark of JA. No chills there.

Jordin Sparks - nothing but good things to say about her singing. Is she great? Not sure. I think she needs a better song to showcase her abilities. But thanks! P.S. the link is from 14 years ago. A long time in the music biz.
Sounds like that could have been automated down to one command.

It had some operational quirks 10 years ago (allocating giant chunks of space was more of an issue that dataloss) and I've not used it directly in that many years. We lost some data during an OOM process kill but it was just twitter firehose data so not a huge deal.

I think Tanenbaum will win the argument in the sense that the way high-security OS kernels will be written will look like programming a microkernel, but when you look at what the hardware actually executes it'll look like a monolithic kernel.

As an example, think of how Rust treats thread communication. The API looks like you're passing messages, but the whole data isn't being copied when you send a message, you're just sending a pointer. The compiler keeps track of making sure ownership rules are respected.

One of the nice things about using a message passing API internally even if the implementation is just single-address-space shared memory is that if you really want more security you can change the implementation to be one where actual message passing takes place, and threads are isolated into separate address spaces like you would do in a proper microkernel. Whether you turn that on or not depends on whether security or performance are more important for your chosen application. It would be much harder to convert something like the Linux kernel into a microkernel.

Both seem rooted in a strong disbelief of the state. Their views are self vindicated when things go wrong.

> right-wing politicians, particularly those of the MAGA variety, have an affinity for cryptocurrency due to the heightened distrust of major institutions that former President Donald Trump sowed among his supporters.

Good to see this written up. I don't feel like there's a lot of big-scale sensemaking like that that's going to help fill in the future as to what was happening. I appreciate this good truthtelling.
The real problem here is just abuse, and Stripe has abuse detection products. We have a lot of 2022 goals, but any list we've made in the last quarter would have included "get rid of the credit card prompt" in the top 3. So, yeah, something's going to happen here. We hate the fucking credit card prompt.
Even that feels like an understatement.

As a mere class-player, I once had the opportunity to play an IM. I reached the middle game without any blunders, even material, no immediate threats, and was beginning to wonder if I could actually survive into an endgame. As I evaluated my next move, I realized this was all illusion. I suddenly realized every candidate move led to catastrophe, as if by some magic I suddenly found myself in a straight-jacket.

Statistically, it might be more on the order of unarmed man standing up to a tank, but it felt more like being mugged by a trans-dimensional alien.

Well trodden yet nowhere close to being understood.

I'll say it again - whether or not we are deterministic is not a settled question.

I didn't take a position on that either way. My point was that because of our present (poor) understanding there's no reason to assume a human and an octopus have different degrees of agency, so questioning whether or not an octopus is deterministic is inconsequential to whether we can relate emotionally with one:

- If we both are then friendship, bonding, emotions etc. are just an illusion that our wiring compels us to entertain, and so we will proceed to do so.

- If we both aren't then friendship may be just as real for both of us and we'll proceed the same way.

An answer to this would have consequences for moral choice, and as long as it's open we should act ethically, even if only as a precaution. But the outcome here is the same. This isn't about ethical ramifications.
"The policy makers for covid restrictions act like this is all a bandaid that will fall off eventually, but as far as I have seen they lied and the bandaid is actually a whole roll of duct tape."

No real epidemiologists is going to tell you that this is a bandaid that will fall off eventually. The people in the know will say "We don't have enough information."

If you're talking about politicians, there are plenty red states that are not enforcing any restrictions. So is your complaint just that you disagree with some politicians?

Going even further, Graeber also tries to dismantle the "counter-thesis" to Hobbes', Rousseau's primitive egalitarian harmonic societies. He shows lots of archaeological evidence suggesting that "primitive" pre-historic societies were probably not that simplistic in terms of social relationships, and some were most likely not egalitarian, since, for instance they would present different displays of wealth in how different people were buried.

In summary, his new book 'The Dawn of Everything' tries to present evidence in a more scientific way in order to destroy these inaccurate portrayals of primitive societies.

I even tried to start a thread and discuss the book in this HN post, feel free to participate. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30002793

I think this breaks the site guidelines. Worse, I don't think the other people are wrong: being in a different region implies being in a different availability zone.

That is, I've read the comments to say "they're not only in different AZ's, they're in different regions". It seems you seem determined to pick a reading that lets you feel smugly superior about your level of knowledge, and then cast out digs at other people based on that presumed superiority.

Maybe I'm just working on an idiosyncratic version of the service discovery problem, but "stale data" is basically my bête noire. Part of it is that I don't control all my clients, and I can't guarantee they have sane retry logic; what service discovery tells them is the best place to go had better be responsive, or we're effectively having an outage. For us, service discovery is exquisitely sensitive to stale data.
>>>That's essentially an unveiled admission of a want to hold the rest of the world hostage and establish domination. There's little rational nor justifiable about such a want from the perspective of anyone who isn't a U.S. citizen.

We've already been holding the world hostage, arguably since we ended Breton Woods in favor of the Petrodollar, and definitely since the Soviet Union collapsed. This might be rational or justifiable to non-US citizens if we better communicated how Pax Americana is to their benefit. But we suck at soft power, and have squandered much of our goodwill with our devastation of the Middle East. So I fully understand and appreciate, for example, Russia and China doing everything in their power to break the back of our supremacy.

>>>Well, they signed the treaty anyway, did they?....Call it virtue signaling, but in international diplomacy, it's a pretty powerful statement.

It cost the signatories nothing substantive, and it changed nothing substantive. I will absolutely call it virtue signaling.

>>>Which objectives? To who's benefit? Yours? The U.S.? The rest of the world?

Which objectives? The objectives of the nations that employ said security professionals, as typically laid out in a "National Security Strategy" or similar document. So my point here is that in order to convince the people who control nuclear assets to change, one needs to understand them. You can't persuade them if you are not communicating with language that resonates with them in the first place.

>>>This is used as an argument for new, upcoming powers like India or China to forge their own path forward, for better or worse. If the U.S. wants to keep playing a role of significance in the 21st and 22nd centuries, it will have to relinquish its hegemonic stance.

This is actually something I strongly agree with. I think it is folly for a mismanaged nation of 330 million to expect to continue to lord over 7+ billion people that are rapidly closing the gap of technical and/or institutional competency across the board. The US is failing on several key fronts 1) failing to recognize the limitations of its hard (aka military) power 2) failing to make the necessary domestic investments in infrastructure and education to even keep it abreast of rising, high-population nations 3) failing to capitalize on existing soft power.

We should have begun to pivot away from the Petrodollar after the Soviet Union fell, should have kept the footprint in Afghanistan smaller, and never should have invaded Iraq. I would have cut the active-duty Army and Air Force to the bone outside of special operations forces, and relied on expeditionary Navy/Marine forces, sailing from the US itself. That's still an overwhelming amount of combat power for most global security threats. Spend the money saved on high-speed rail, thorium reactors, fusion research, and pre-collegiate education that doesn't suck.
There was a comment I saw the other day along the lines of "Science will tell you what the numbers are, but doesn't make a judgement of how big that number should be."

You can get a pretty good estimate of how many lives would be saved if we smoked less, or drank less, or did any number of other things, but ultimately that's an input into a public policy decision making system that doesn't have a provably right answer unless everyone involved agrees on what the desired outcome is.
I use subcontractors - devs that work for me but on demand at a (comparatively high) hourly rate. The advantage is that I'm not taking the same risk or expending the same effort as hiring, I can get better people, and I can scale up and down more easily. The disadvantage is its expensive and doesnt build a company culture in the same way as real hires.
Any examples of what best practices that would be?
Right! The real question is why does the recipient want to launder or obfuscate the origin of proceeds.

Criminal money laundering charge requires an illicit origin, while there are plenty of non-illicit origins that would prompt someone to want to obfuscate it. Those people can do that successfully. But for the criminals its not clear if they are successful.

Regardless, I think better information is useful too. You can always use your clean savings and salaried earnings and buy some random small cap crypto, and then use your dirty money to pump that crypto, and sell your clean savings at a profit and just book the capital gains. This is likely happening a whole lot by now.

The dirty money just is held in Tornado.cash and then exits Tornado.cash to a virgin address which acts as any random trader in the new crypto being pumped.

People do this in the stock market too, they just have to go the extra step of making brokerage accounts with someone else's ID. I've also read about people that never cash out and just keep operating as the stolen identity, while the banks and governments believe there is no illicit money in the capital markets (yeah because it all passed KYC!). It's not like you would know if someone had made another bank or brokerage account in your name. But at least with crypto coin pump laundering nobody has the risk of getting framed.
I just started with kitty, and I think it's a very important development specifically because I don't have to use xdg-open.

Thanks for watching and digesting these videos. fwiw, not a single person here is comparing any of them to Andrews. All of this is in service of refuting the original statement that “that modern singers can't sing”, which by your own admission, is flatly false.

P.S., while it’s perfectly for to personally believe that Julie Andrews is the best female vocalist of all time, it’s far harder to consider it a matter of empirical fact. One can easily assert that Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, or Celine Dion is better. One’s mileage always varies.

No discussion on impacts to staff, teachers or parents if their suggested course of action was followed during the pandemic.
