https://www.sensibleweather.com/

We work at the intersection of deep technology, science and experience design. Sensible is built to help consumers and businesses understand, plan for, and mitigate all types of climate and weather risk, from travel and events to homeownership and energy production. Our first product embeds with travel and outdoor events partners, offering their customers a guarantee against the weather. This means a customer can have confidence that they will have a great time in the sun, if not you get your money back!

We recognize that we're living in a world with more climate disruption than ever before. We also believe that it is one of unprecedented opportunity for solutions.

Come work for us if:

- you desire to bring delight to your users.

- are passionate about the outdoors (reading on the beach counts!).

- have a growth mindset.

- know that empathy is at the heart of all great product, teams, and companies.

> And the staff you had is worse at fiddling with these knobs than the old knobs that they knew well. Plus, you've now added a whole new category of cost optimization problems.

More typically, it makes those problems visible — you get a bill from AWS every month in a way which you don't get a report that 70% of the hardware in your data center is either under-utilized or being used inefficiently. I think cloud migrations often suffer from that as a source of attribution error: “OMG, we don't have perfect security in the cloud!” “Aren't you running a production app on RHEL 6 under the account of someone who left 8 years ago?” “yeah, but we know about that!”
Companies generally seem to price attrition at 0.
Depends on who you're trying to hack/hide from.

If I'm hiding from governments, political parties, or NGOs, then I might do something like you suggested, but since the greatest danger to hackers in terms of getting caught is other technologically-literate people, I would favor planning using tools my enemies are less likely to bother checking.

Plus it means you don't have to rely on either your own coding expertise or the trust you have in your collaborators. If you're doing something illegal, there's always the trade-off of including more people in order to cover holes (since you might be working against whole teams of people and their brains), but then you're subject to your collaborators either making a mistake or selling you out.

Letters are:

A.) Illegal to tamper with, so unlikely to be caught randomly or subject to things like hacks of their own.

B.) Possible to send or deliver without another human being touching it, seeing it, or saving it.

C.) Possible to destroy quickly and in a way that won't leave traces.

D.) Will still function even if your network/code is taken down.

Then again, I'm too risk-averse to hack so I'm the person who would accept things taking twice as long as long as our risk decreased 1%.
And, as per usual, the river flows on past, slowly eroding the rights of the 99% as the news channels and social media focus on the click ratio.
If anything, it was a move to push US legislators to respect foreign privacy laws.
You may have a good/decent/important broad point in general, but it's somewhat off-topic here. EU privacy directives and legislation are not particularly concerned (yet) with banning the sharing of data with third-parties, the focus at the moment is purely on regulating that sharing of data and ensuring it's only being shared with compliant third parties via compliant means.

In this case, Google is non-compliant but the gp's service/tool does appear to be. I think you're underplaying the distinction here quite severely.

TL;DR this is about what's illegal, not what's "evil".
This is the agist response to those who don't try to understand why
I mean, I don't feel like Tim Cook is an extreme narcissist cult leader, but I don't know enough about him. Of course, the fact that he hasn't mythologized himself as much as Steve Jobs did is a piece of evidence in favor of him not being a narcissist. If I had to choose a "tech company cult" it would be Tesla/SpaceX/Boring/whatever else Musk is running.
Thank you very much.
Major difference with dependabot is that you can use it for more use cases as you define what, how, and when something should be updated
Can’t upvote this enough. Curious on what your thoughts on getting ahead of it for a pleb? TIPS? House in the suburbs to rent? Bitcoin? Gold?
Well, it doesn't have to be necessarily. At some point in the future they could decide to introduce versioned breaking changes.
As a nitpick: "unless they trick enough customers in a loyalty program or something".

With enough good data (so probably not in all sectors) you can also identify people out of the system.

There are not that many bits of entropy in (contextualized) human behavior.
This is my personal take only.

It’s mostly speculative and the ones who benefit the most are essentially criminals: Those that either want to hide their monetary activities; or hide their money.

There’s also a snake-oil aspect to it, which makes it ripe for fraud.

More down-to-eath, it steals away from the GPU supply and I imagine HN has its fair share of gamers.

Finally, there’s an old investor saying: When widows and orphans get in on the action, it’s time to get out.
agreed, FYI dependabot is open source for non-commercial use and you can run it locally

While multi-cloud interest and vendor lock-in are an organizational concern at the enterprise level, there are also larger nation-state macro concerns that are warranted to help mitigate the risk of concentrated influence and control from any given cloud provider. This is best embodied in the idea of a cloud exit strategy requirement (other related concepts include reverse migration and cloud portability) to manage concentrated risk and regulatory demands [0]

"Several regulators, mainly in the EU and focused on financial services, now mandate an exit strategy. Those organizations that do look at exit strategies often focus on contracts — aspects such as terms and conditions, and service-level agreements." [1].

A recession was all but guaranteed as soon as governments mandated shutdowns of broad swaths of the economy and scared the ever living hell out of people by making it sound like we were all going to die if we engaged in trade.

They/we just decided to delay the pain by printing lots of money and handouts which decouple the pain from the shutdown, instead 2-3 years later we can blame it on some vague 'inflation' and the massive loss of quality of life, suicide, drug addiction and other results of recession can be blamed on something other than the mismanagement of the nation in the pandemic.
I believe this is what Elizabeth Warren has been saying. It struck me as just political theater at first, but this is the second time I've seen people pointing out that profits for some of the largest corporations have actually been increasing.

The rampant scams turn people off. Also, I think HN skews a little privileged and there are many people here who can’t imagine living unbanked or under an embargo.
It probably does violate French data protection. There were similar lawsuits in Germany over the use of Google Fonts. Making a users browser interact with a US-based or US-owned service is currently very thin ice.
This is also a problem ad engines face. Non-unique to recommenders.

About a dozen people have written their rationalisation in the thread. But you have decided they are just old and their beliefs must not be sincerely held - they're just "a bit aged". Surely if the other commenters were younger they'd discard all the thoughtful reasons they've supplied in this thread and concur with you.

'Why do you like crypto? Don't answer, I already know, it's just because you're young.'
Haha yeah
You can never know what you get.
First, utility prices are really your state's responsibility (as in, they ultimately decide how expensive it is). Things like driving for green energy and canceling pipelines add to the cost. Obviously, the hope is that it pays off in the long run. Second, [1] is Nevada decreasing prices last year. Your "lifetime of data" is really a data point of n=1.

Intel sold power electronics group(?) for 85 million dollar, that Altera bought for 140 million: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16257/mediatek-subsidiary-to-...

I also know that many clients ditched SoCs with ARM cores from Altera when Intel acquired it being afraid that Intel does not like these alien cores.
I am currently developing sites with Django and DRF, where the client requests what format it wants and the server sends it in the format of the clients choice- a browser would request HTML, in which case the server sends HTML- using htmx. A mobile app might request JSON, or XML or CSV or any other supported format. No need to develop a separate API for web and mobile- its all the same API. DRF makes it very easy.

Now, I haven't dug into Apple iOS dev yet, I know they have some artificial limitations on what an app can receive, but thats an Apple limitation, not a technical one. I'm pretty sure Apple allows an iOS app to receive data over the Internet and render that data within the app? I just need to figure out what format it can be sent it for the app to render it.

I don't understand how this can be construed as tracking users.

You find a great employee, he's in Venezuela, how do you pay them?

They have no access to Swift.

Western Union (didn't exist until a few years back) has like 20% fees.

Paypal effective total fees 20% as well.

Bitcoin? $0.30 to pay him/her, 0.30 to get the btc to his/her exchange and then cash out.
Russian teenager jailed over ‘Minecraft plot to blow up virtual spy HQ’
Anyone is a huge stretch. First people need awareness and secondly skill.

Neither is widespread. Leaving users, especially vulnerable ones, to the whims of businesses.

Privacy isn't a "technical matter".
>"Oh, it's that one privacy nut again who always wears sunglasses and a hoodie and only pays in cash"

And the store person will then what? Open excel wnd write "a dude with glasses was ehre at 12:51"? and then send the file to 100+ partners?

>You don't need to be identified by name, just by a "fingerprint". If you go there regularly you will be identified by your "fingerprint".

So the physical stores have some shady dudes attempting to lift fingerprints from money then some statistics guy try to put probabilities on which fingerprint matches which anonymous guy?

here in my country you still pay with cash and the store people put it in a machine combine it with money from other people, it will be a lot of work and risk for some shitty nano reward.

My frequent remark watching so many reckless drivers from my car:

Babies and bathwater, here. Many people legitimately would like to have Thing/Service but don’t know it exists, and may even not realize the possibility of other options exists.
There are many non proof of work cryptocurrencies. Besides that, energy used by Proof of Work << Energy used by US military.
It’s potentially bad because the market isn’t as simple as “keep inflation at 2%”. We also want GDP growth and low unemployment. The tools we have to decrease inflation can hurt both of those metrics. This means our position is risky, and the treatment to reduce inflation might have strong consequences.
I mean, you could link them to a Washington Post article explaining the situation.
> That’s the first I heard of it.

This is the perfect example of why government oversight is needed. You run a bunch of websites and aren’t aware that you are inadvertently involved in violating the privacy of the people who visit your sites. How are non-technical people supposed to deal with this?
You can save in USDT for what it's worth.
3rd party background checks are notoriously noisy. Companies that expect them to be the Word of God are, at best, naïve.

Every employer should be ready to resolve "discrepancies" that come back without any negative thoughts about the potential employee. If they can't or won't do that, I don't think you want to work for them.

A few years ago, I was involved in a spinoff and they decided that all the employees would need to go through a background check. Of the ~90 people, something like 10 people (>10%!!!) had weird stuff that turned out to be completely wrong. For example, one person was reported to be currently in prison 5 states over. Some others were "we can't verify this person ever worked for ABC Corp". We were ABC Corp.

Most of these background check companies, they'd say of course there are a lot of Mike Smiths around, but Patty Jones? No no, there has only ever been one Patty Jones in all of human history.
Does four really exist as 4? Maybe it's just 2 squared.
This is a great tool - using it successfully to package up OPA policies for Aserto.
I do the same but have some additional logic including “is bedroom occupied” and “is bedroom door closed”.

I combine those and a few other things into a hybrid Boolean sensor called “sleep conditions”

At any point in time the “sleep conditions” sensor is calculated as “true” or “false” - ie. does it look like I’m likely to be going to sleep.

So when my phone is placed on charge AND sleep conditions = true, my automation goes into sleep mode triggering lights off, setting wake up alarm etc

It seems trivial, but simply putting your phone on a wireless charger at night and having everything react automatically is quite gratifying!
Probably shorting high yield. Not investment advice
I believe it depends the implementation. I recall having a phone that would explicitly indicate a switch to MMS when sending longer messages.
Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday
My first ticket was being late for school. I grew up in an environment where being 'late' or 'rushed' seemed to be a default mode - young parents with 3 young kids, everything probably did stress them out more than it should have, and... I just grew up feeling 'late' and 'rushed' for everything all the time. It manifested in many ways, but speeding was one. I've had a few tickets over the years. I think... probably 4 or 5 over... 30 years? So.. perhaps somewhat habitual and just lucky I've not been caught more. But the last few years - per the comment above - real time info has had a bit of a calming effect. Probably age a bit too, but I don't think so.
Just a note in case someone goes looking for racket-xp-mode explicitly. It's just an ancillary mode included with racket-mode. You'll pretty much always want it turned on. I'm sure there's some reason to turn it off sometime, but I've never done it.
I'm not talking about the houses, though. I'm talking about mortgages. Have you ever wondered why you can't just save up for a house and buy it with cash? Why do you need to first acquire this thing called a mortgage? What part is the bank actually playing in this transaction? You'll pay tax to them for 30 years but what exactly are you getting in return?

These are the questions that need to be asked.
You should generally make these decisions based on the usage stats of your own visitors. Caniuse.com for example lets you import Google Analytics data.
Thanks for the heads-up. I think there is something that automatically switched it to the DOI after I submitted. It should redirect to this: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abj9496
Telegram now censoring channels in Germany for “violating local laws”
Subresource Integrity to the rescue

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Subres...
Well, someone/thing has to set the stage for another war that will "dig us out of recession."

I just wonder how many more times we're going to fall for this nonsense.
Written media hasn’t figured it out yet. Though NYTimes is trying to get there with their recent acquisitions. I would pay 10-15 bucks a month to access a lot of quality written content, but print charges more and is more limited in the amount of content you receive. And it feels like you should have access to everything when you are on the internet. Hitting a paywall when trying to read a 500 word article is a bad feeling.
The article is written in German, but with a Google Translate you can understand the just of it. Apparently Telegram added a new blocking system based on phone numbers, sorta a geo-blocking thing, and people with German phone numbers registered on their Telegram accounts aren't able to access those blocked channels.

Also, unlike the previous block this one applies even to the users who are using the app downloaded directly from Telegram site and not the iOS/Google Play version.

The blocking happens after German minister of interior had a meeting with Telegram directors a few days ago.
You think dumping trillions of money in a covid stimulus package didn't cause inflation? Most of went to the rich anyway. Demand should go down when prices go up.
For anyone interested, I highly recommend Brock Yates's book about the beginning of Canonball.

https://smile.amazon.com/Cannonball-Americas-Greatest-Outlaw...

Yates was a writer at Car and Driver (my favorite automotive magazine), and the idea for Cannonball was a protest of speed limits. Yates's argument is that the speed you're allowed to drive should not be generalized, as a great driver in a great auto can safely do far greater speeds.

I don't agree with his argument - individual enforcement of rules doesn't scale to society, but it is a very good read.
The hate is about the over exuberance for a technology that just isn't that interesting. While a distributed ledger with permissionless consensus has a few places it applies, the vast majority of proposed use cases are better solved without it. This irrationality for the technology and an ecosystem rife with malice and profit seeking without true curiosity for the problem or solution is quite the turn off.
I'm fine with Americans or Britons, especially those with dual citizenship, losing their U.S. or U.K. citizenship if they leave the country to join a terrorist group such as ISIS.

"Critics say removing citizenship, as in the case of Shamima Begum, who fled Britain as a schoolgirl to join Islamic State in Syria, is already a contentious power, and scrapping the requirement for notice would make the home secretary’s powers even more draconian."
The funny thing is that it wasn't that long ago that people were arguing that the pandemic would have a lasting impact in the opposite way.

A popular theory was that rental car companies will dump their inventory, there'd be a glut of used cars, and both used and new car prices would crash as a result.

They overlooked that eventually demand would return and those empty inventories would have to be refilled at a time that was just 12-24 months removed from massive decreases in production. And that it'd correlate with every other industry scrambling for supplies and transportation at the same time.

This too shall pass.
Indeed, Canada is a laggard in this area. I work on a university campus where they've gone beyond the bare minimum that's legislated, and it's quite a stark difference from the rest of the city. Another important part of that is sidewalk snow removal. Only within the last 5 years has the city slowly started doing this somewhat right on some streets, whereas campus sidewalks are always plowed and salted.
>As an aside, does anyone know how accurate the reporting was/is on the "Worldwide Loyalty Team"? Looking back it seems absurd, to the point where it makes more sense to me as a myth than fact.

It's not credible from a fact-checking analysis. For reference, the publication that broke the news was Gizmodo [0]. The major issues are:

i) The source of the information is not identified on the record, and is just listed as "Tom" (no last name).

ii) There is only one anonymous interview for the article, and no supporting documentation referenced in the article to justify the claims.

iii) No other publication appears to verify the information independently, such as Apple Insider [1], for such a major story. This includes newspapers that maintain a reputation for fact-checking and responsibility (e.g. The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal), where it should should be feasible to verify if this was widely known within Apple.

Say they don’t do it secretly. They put up signs that they are doing it.

Do they have to get explicit consent from each customer and save that info for audits?
> The Austrian Data Protection Authority (DSB) [3] ruled differently and waived most of the arguments raised by Google. The DSB ruled that even anonymized IP addresses are personal data.

Why are anonymised IP addresses still considered "Personal Data"?
Is it because Google is doing the anonymisation?
Here's another perspective:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-next-wave-in-remote-work-fl...

The type of company you work for has a big impact on whether you can rise up and how fast and I have had personal experience where I was a rockstar developer to begin with and things changed as soon as I asked for remote working setups for our team and the management wasn't kind to us remote professionals. Things seem to have changed though and I see a lot of people doing well remotely working and succeeding in their roles.

My 2 pennies...
You can owe someone five rocks (or dollars, to make it only slightly less abstract.)

You can go five miles east instead of west (more of a vector, but still makes sense if your movements are limited to a number line instead of a number plane).

Imaginary numbers are more of the same with a twist. i is just a 𝛑/2 rotation on a plane instead of a negative number, which can be thought of as rotation by 𝛑 on a line.

The big mistake with imaginary numbers is calling them imaginary. There's nothing imaginary about them. They're a very specific kind of operation which can be expanded with very little thought or effort to complex numbers, which have incredibly useful properties in engineering.

Calling them "imaginary" is cripplingly confusing for almost everyone, and many never get over it.
Meh, zoom out to 1 month.
I don't consider myself very opiniated on tech. But if there is one thing I am adamant about is that strongly typed languages are a must in any project that's meant to grow and last. It's a must to explore, understand and refactoring the codebase while maintaining your sanity. The tooling for dynamic languages is just not there yet.

So it's not a rift as much as the fact that one camp is just plain wrong.
