The article feels a bit flamebaity. I would think in real life adults could easily navigate shoe wearing preference when visiting each other, and it doesn't require an extreme stance, nor feigned anger about the idea someone might come to your house and leave their shoes on against your wishes.

Personally, I have indoor sandals so my feet stay warm and are supported, and I don't track dirt into the house. If I remember, I bring them when visiting others
I am not 1 man anymore, we grew up a bit. But we are an ecommerce platform, basically centered around the big US marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, walmart.com). Yes Amazon and eBay are in Europe, so we are there.. but no say UK or France specific markets at this time.
Honestly ? It great. Short consumable content that allows for vertical discussion in two directions with different meanings , per thread discussions that you can skip if you want.

If you find it boring you can bail at anytime and if you find it interesting you can bookmark tweets for later consumption. The trending feature allows for multi-community discussion, jokes, and memes.

Twitter encompasses engaging text-based human interaction perfectly.
And say 3% makes the entire country renewable? What is the better use of money then? Energy is energy, and even better if it is vastly simpler to generate with less headaches to take care of afterwards.
The Tiniest Wordle
Was i the only one expecting to read what was actually the contaminant?
When my younger brother was very young (perhaps 5 or 6 years old), he inherited my old Gameboy Color with my copy of Pokemon Crystal, which I had left saved at some random point midway through the game. He, not knowing how to read, never realized that there was such a thing as saves or progress in the game. In his mind, that save point was his "start point", where he would always begin his adventures and the pokemon I had left him with were the only ones he ever used. He loved to run around in the wild battling pokemon and occasionally making very accidental progress away from his "start point".

One time, he managed to stumble his way into using Cut to remove a tree and entered a whole new world of things to explore! After a while he become totally lost, and wanting to return to familiar territory he simply restarted the Game Boy and was right back where he knew. We continue to find much humor in the degree to which children can make any random experience a fun adventure.

I do these often with standard GraphQL queries, often over Postgres. Now I’m curious about the performance difference compared to an SQL ORDERBY or similar EdgeDB implementation!
The key difference here is that for, say, a piece of music, you can very easily point to someone as the creator of said piece. Or a group of people, or a record label, or whoever owns the rights to it. How do you handle royalties for a FOSS project where dozens, or even hundreds of people have contributed various amounts of code over the years?

Advertisements exist on a spectrum of manipulation. For example, old ads in the 50's sometimes used phallic subliminal messaging to attempt to get viewers to misappropriate their sexual urges with the thing being advertised (no kidding, see [1]). Even though it probably doesn't work it's the mindset behind the attempt that is gross. The goal was to manipulate.

On the other side of the spectrum you have the ole soap in the pickup's window saying For Sale. Somewhere between these two extremes is a line where advertisements go from being ethical to being unethical. Clean one-size-fits-all solutions don't work here, we have to go through the trouble of defining what manipulation is and when it applies. Simply telling people that your product/service exists in the world is not by itself manipulation period.

No, I’m pointing to the exact subject of discussion, the suggestion that the US and EU, who currently do regulate and do so independently, could coordinate regulation.
People in their 30s should be avoiding college bars if they're actually looking to meet people and have some kind of connection.

It's pretty easy to strike up conversations with people at bars and events. I know people who met their long term partners on overseas tours, at work and at music festivals. Not everyone uses dating apps, not every person at a bar is ancient or has daddy issues.

I worked at Office Depot for a while, and Chinese couple brought in their laptop with a problem. OD didn't do repairs, but I had worked at a Gateway 2000 call center and a local computer shop, so I knew my way around.

Their computer was completely in Chinese, but that didn't stop me from just quickly clicking through to the control panel and fixing the problem.

They were practically slack-jawed staring at me, and then asked, "Do you speak Chinese?" I told them I just know where the buttons are. :D

It was experiences like that (helping a customer beyond what the store supported, in extreme situations) that make me miss retail sometimes. All the BS makes sure I don't go back.

It lacks some features like dnssec, iptables, ipv6 but they are in the ToDo and they will be available soon.

The rules have changed.

You decided to look for a better opportunity. One with a brighter future for you. And be able to elaborate a bit on that.

That's all you need to say.
That guideline probably should be revised, all manner of tech news is covered on television these days.
The monopoly is over. But it's not the end. And the future is not solely just Austin.
I think the bigger problem is that people stop being able to price anything in a reasonable way. Should companies be valued at 1x revenue? 2x? 10x? 437x? How do you decide if the value of the thing you're using as the denominator changes wildly.

The downside of this is, instead of people working to create productive things, effort instead shifts to gambling and gaming the system. Witness what's happened all over our economy. It's like a cancer devouring everything: Robin Hood, GameStop, Crypto. You name it and it's turned into a casino. How does any of that increase human wealth?
> It's an absurd goal to try to make it easy for six engineers alone to scale to the entire planet.

That's an interesting assertion. As counter-example to that assertion, [gestures at huge amounts of the internet as we know it, which was started by small teams.]

And I'm not talking about scaling to 7 billion users. I'm talking about scaling to all of _my_ users, even though they live in dozens or hundreds of countries.
And they broke everybody’s streak in the process while reusing today‘s word…

I don't think anyone is arguing in favor of sustained high inflation, and we also don't currently have sustained high inflation. But some inflation is good for the economy, and current inflation currently hasn't gone much past "some" after being extremely low for a very long time despite obvious inflationary pressure.
It is 2:12 in California and 4:12 in Texas, so I think the answer is clear.
I don't have any strong opinion about it, but I have the same question: is it possible that in the long term the backend will be replaced by a custom one? And if not, what is the postgres backend bringing to the table that's difficult to replace?

Betty predates Chaka and Bernadette (and Chaka admits to influence from Betty), and Mavis was considerably prudish compared to the stage antics of Betty.

Betty's gravity on Miles alone would be enough to guarantee her iconic status, but her overall body of work is significant for its overall influence.
Not advocating for this point of view, but I think the thinking goes that even if <insert industry of choice here> wasn't any less concentrated in 2017 vs. now, the pandemic provided a lot of opportunity for price increase that might have otherwise caused regulatory scrutiny.
I'll never know, but in hindsight I think so. I probably would have been better off going at my own pace for longer, rather than becoming accustomed to the rigid pace of public school.
> Luxembourg and the Netherlands wants me to learn their language, which is not something I would need to work there and in my experience visiting neither to be able to live there. It's not great.

That seems like a very reasonable requirement. How can you expect to participate in society, especially elections, without a decent command of the local language?
I've blocked so many fixed position headers with this thing.
Although tbh I should learn the filter syntax to make them position: absolute instead.
Like "diffuse" and "specular", it's certainly used as a noun.
well I'm not sure whether the goal is to "save the party's face". To be honest it could be anybody, any hot issues of celeb big or small or could even be nobody can ignite some kind of sentiment, just like anywhere else. The difference is that domestically although censored, the social issues were sometimes genuinely flagged / monitored and led to change for better polices, in a sort of top down / authoritarian way, which to be honest surprises me.

Proximity unlocking does not rely on LTE, and still works. Remote unlocking using the app would not work, because it relies on LTE. So the car can still be unlocked and used as normal in areas where there is no cellular reception. This is not some egregious oversight.
The way you phrased this it sounds like they're being intentionally misleading, but it's directly addressed in the article: there just aren't good, complete studies on this for Omicron yet. For example:

> A rapid analysis from the SIREN study showed lower protection from both vaccination and previous infection to Omicron compared to Delta, but indicated higher protection among those who had received booster vaccination.

and

> Comprehensive analysis is ongoing into exactly how much additional protection the vaccines provide against Omicron infections, but a rapid unadjusted analysis from the SIREN study indicated an increasing benefit of each vaccine dose in those with prior infection.

Note "rapid analysis" for the Omicron.
I'll try to engage without pulling us into familiar debates.

I have found, in a year of intensive use and research around the Ethereum ecosystem, here are a few things I like that wouldn't really work without an underlying immutable distributed ledger:

1) Creating limited editions of generative art.

2) "Forever" art like on-chain pixel and ASCII art.

3) Frankenstein-like adaptations of traditional fintech constructs into a decentralized implementation, such as AMMs.

Also, the more I learn about the zk-rollup space (STARKs and SNARKs) the more curious I get about the possibilities there. You can, for example, have digital treasure hunts where whoever finds the treasure can generate a proof without revealing the location. So far this is just cool without having an obvious killer app, but more than anything else in the crypto space I think there will be killer apps emerging from this technology.

By volume, I agree with critics that it's mostly bubble-chasing, gambling, and scams. It might be healthier for everyone if the tech & art experimentation were walled off from investments. At the very least, we probably shouldn't have crypto exchanges advertising -- really nothing interesting comes from luring Main Street to buy and store Doge on a centralized exchange.
I totally, 100% agree.

I tell people sometimes that if I could go back in time and do one thing I thought would make the world better today, I would try and kill Hitler. Partly because everybody tries to kill Hitler, and it never works. He survived about a zillion assassination plots and quite a few actual attempts. It's almost like he's got some kind of special protection or something.

No, I would kill a contemporary of his, though: Sigmund Freud's nephew, Edward Bernays. He is single-handedly responsible for most of the way advertising and PR are constructed today. He literally introduced the concept of FOMO in advertising. He's not everything that's wrong with society today, but taking him out has a decent chance of improving things. Besides, he's not constantly guarded by SS soldiers, or anything, so it would be easier than killing Hitler.

This is really interesting. It reminds me of a conversation I had recently with a friend of mine who struggles a lot with spelling. His first language is English and even so sometimes it is hard to decipher what he means when he messages me. Recently he asked me how to spell something and I said, "You spell it exactly how it sounds," and he told me that doesn't help him and he didn't understand what that meant.
So I spelled the word out loud and sounded it out as I went. At the end he told me that his brain doesn't work that way- that it's nearly impossible for him to hold the sounds in his head while he tries to spell. I was really quite awestruck by that distinct differences in our brains.

Out of those three, that one is also the easiest to fix (or at least, least effort to combat): don't reply to them, ignore them, kick them out from you community with a warning or simply ban them. Most communication tools support those patterns, use them if you find it draining. Just because you publish open source code doesn't mean you owe the users of that software anything.
I was skeptical at first, but this checks out: I think I was able prove that if N is a product of two numbers `a` and `b` (both odd or both even, for simplicity), such that a is less than b and (b-a) is less than 2√2 times N^(1/4), and if `r` is the ceiling of the square root of N, then r^2 - N is a square (say s^2), so we can find the factorization N = (r^2 - s^2) = (r-s)(r+s) without any searching (the very first step). The half-integer case I haven't thought about yet, but this suggests the claim is wrong... or maybe N^(1/4) needs to be replaced with N^(1/4+epsilon) or something.
These were common at Pivotal when I was last there. Everyone gets a snapshot for the pairing board. I bought one and did the same thing at my last company.

A thing I wrote earlier seems relevant to this: https://wooz.dev/2022/01/15/standard_CV_data_format

TLDR: why not have a standard microformat for CV data, so job-seekers can upload their data instead of having to manually enter it over and over again? (Also: CV-parsing software sucks and gets everything wrong.)

I like your checkboxes idea too.
> Their cash or cash equivalents is $1,821.8 million. Net loss was $77.5 for the quarter. Without any changes, they could keep this up for about 6 years.

That's incorrect. They didn't burn $77m in cash in the quarter, GAAP net loss is not equal to them losing cash from operations. The calculation doesn't lead out to six years accordingly. They're no longer burning cash (as they previously were):

"Net cash flow from operating activities was $40.6 million, compared to negative $8.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Free cash flow was $8.6 million, or 4% of total revenue, compared to negative $23.5 million, or 19% of total revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2020."

That could still slip back occasionally into the red, of course. More likely it's going to be two steps forward and one step back, culminating soon in predictably cash flow positive operations.
not even really an exception, they're more a like a PHP script that just ignores errors and continues

What's a very long time to you might not be a very long time to me. GDPR wasn't a draft when the product I'm talking about first launched.

The argument is less about central authority than standard process. You don't have to use the official NPM registry. The point is that having a pipeline for modules with established conventions and automated means of audits and visibility on the dependency is a net good. Yes, there is such a thing as a supply chain attack. But even when that happens, the community puts out the call to patch immediately and points a finger at the offending package. Your HTTPS import from a random URL could fail silently. While NPM is a big target for supply chain attack, they know they are, so there are a lot of eyes on it. Not so with your HTTPS import.
As others have pointed out in this comment section, there's good evidence that the editor just didn't like these photos, since nearly every one has a nearly identical photo, with better composition, that was "approved".

After verifying this with around 20 random photos, I now agree with that comment, and disagree with the article. The article doesn't seem to have merit.

A few years ago I bought a mattress for less than $100 from Amazon to sleep on.

While it was funny to complain about how uncomfortable this cheap mattress was, it was still an extremely luxurious piece of technology unfathomable to any cave dweller.

It doesn't seem so crazy to me to wonder whether modern mattresses like these are incentivizing us to sleep longer than what is optimal.
>"The inverse of this would be to give carte-blanche ownership and rights over all property to politicians"

Why would the alternative be carte-blanche over all forms of property? The government already forces telephone companies not to discriminate based on speech. Broadcasters must follow restrictions and allow government messages to be played under certain circumstances. The Net Neutrality folks are fighting so that Comcast cannot determine which parts of the internet I am allowed to visit using their service.

What would the harm be in making a law along the lines of "A digital service used primarily for communication with over twenty million members must allow sitting members of congress, the supreme court, the president, and members of the cabinet to disseminate any communication they so desire during their tenure."

The government controls what citizens can do with their private property all the time, and in just about every facet of our lives. I see no harm in making laws depending on the scale of the company.
The Cloudflare CTO is often on HN to answer questions. Last was a couple of hours ago.

I asked him if he had HN alerts, and this was his answer:
“I have code that monitors Hacker News comments for mentions of various things (including cloudflare, my username). It runs once a minute and uses https://hn.algolia.com/ to find new comments. (..)”

https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=jgrahamc

A CTO that is this close to the users I see as a good sign.
I think most environmental argument is just normal politics. We have just expanded what people care about. A new set of things have become contraversial or virtuous. And these issues can mix in weird ways that cause friction and cost to people. But government and politicians don't really want these issues to be political. Balancing so many things is just too complex and fraught.

Also, a lot of environmental groups are focused on specific things. Expecting them to protect the whole world and all of the future is unreasonable. It's like expecting a cancer charity to reduce homelessness. Someone who loves birds just wants to protect birds.
protonmail is a good choice but I'm going to move over to zoho when legacy GSuite is finally canned. My main decider is price as I might receive and send 10-20 emails a year on my custom domain email and $5-$10 a month is just not worth it. They are pretty generous with multiple domain email aliasing too.

Incidentally, there might be a market opportunity for people like me who just want simple ultra-cheap low traffic email. Self hosting your email server just means your emails get sent to spam and all the services I've seen bundle calendars/cloud storage/groupware and charge >5$ a month. Maybe a PAYG model? I have no idea about the costs involved.
It's a good sales pitch, but it's not immediately clear what the terms are. I see that there is a company behind this, that there's also a Github repo, and it appears you can install something without paying. But is it entirely open source? If not, what are they selling? What kind of business is this?
