Yes and: Before Facebook and Twitter, we had blogs. And before that zines and pamphlets.

It's so weird that defenders of algorithmic hate machines accept them as some sort of natural law, forgetting that humanity somehow muddled along for millennial without the benefit of dopamine hijacking.
I view my statement and your statement as effectively the same thing.
I was thinking that I'd love essentially an iPod Shuffle but connected to my Spotify and with Bluetooth. Running with an iPhone is still pretty annoying. It'd be nice to have a light device that clips onto your clothes.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if Apple has ever explored turning the AirPods case into a mini iPod. I guess their iPod days are over but it'd be a really neat little device.

Edit: Apparently this exists! https://bemighty.com/products/mighty-vibe
I've added it for you. Let me know at hn@ycombinator.com if you changed your mind.
Well I googled the name of the study alongside his name and nothing came up.
I’ve started using the library a lot. They have multiple racks of TV shows that I paid hundreds in subscriptions to watch in the past. For example, I want to watch Yellowstone next. I checked out the DVDs for Season 1 rather than pay for Paramount+. Sure, I have to wait sometimes for popular stuff, but I am so inundated with content (even from just the library!) that I have no problem keeping myself entertained while I wait.
Thanks for the reply. I found the below page as a relatively updated info source. It is interesting to see your note about FPGAs being more akin to GPU and then see many development boards pair a FPGA with an Arm processor.

This is the wrong model, technically it causes micro deflation that would be similar to distributing it to everyone weighted by their current amount. The rich get richer-er (in an absolute sense, but not in a proportional sense).

The effect is probably minuscule on a case by case basis, but if it were happening on nation scale it might make a difference.
My biggest regret about my college/university time is not having expanded my breadth of experiences. In your teens and twenties you are at a point in life when you have not made too many decisions that set you on a particular path. It is an oportune moment to explore the vast buffet of life. As one gets older you find yourself moving in a particular direction and generally self-limit your own ability to deviate too far from the area you currently in. Add in the sunk cost fallacy and most people just continue the inertia of their early decisions.

Expose yourself to everything you have the least bit of interest in. Go to all kinds of group meetings, sign up for classes that seem interesting, talk to people that are different from you, etc. It is very likely you will never have such easy access to these possibilities ever again.

Do not believe that you must declare a major immediately and that it will be set in stone for the rest of your life.

TLDR: explore your interests without fear
Very nice, but it's probably rarely mentioned because the whole family costs $284 USD.
Not exactly correct or incorrect. Some projects built as a single page app (SPA), using a fancy framework like React or Angular with little configuration, end up loading all DOM content client side via javascript which has a number of drawbacks on performance and SEO.

It doesn't have to be that way though. If you want to use React, there are tools to help you easily make something like a static site generator (SSG) which will transform your React code down into pre-rendered HTML pages. Two popular ones are Gatsby (https://gatsby.dev/) and Next.js (https://nextjs.org/) which also supports Server Side Rendering (SSR).

So out of the box plain HTML / CSS might be more optimized than a fresh create-react-app repo, but if you prefer to use the toolset provided by React to build your site (or Vue or Angular, etc), there are plenty of options to make that equally performant.
I’m interested what is your site?
I think we can agree that working 100% of the time leads to poor societal outcomes and 0% of the time leads to poor societal outcomes.

We probably have some shared view that it’s Laffer-curvish without being sure of the shape.

It just seems unlikely to me that 40 hrs is a total system optimum since it was a historical accident. Personally I think it might be 50 hrs/week but it just seems strange that we’d believe that 40 is the peak of this curve.
Your same pollster:

> 22% of respondents think the protesters should continue

Sure doesn't seem like 50-75%?

Of CPC voters, they're split on support of protests.

If you think a peaceful protest involves blocking access to ambulances and hospitals, defacing statues with swastikas, and honking very loud horns non-stop for weeks, then I don't think it's possible to have an amicable conversation.
There's a pretty big difference between banning someone after dozens of warnings and a robot silently banning you without even telling you for something you might not even have done

This politically charged advertising is badly misplaced
This will be very interesting (but likely not). People have tried to hide assets from tax authorities, spouses, creditors, etc for thousands of years.

I'm a little surprised (or not) at the naivete of the cryptocurrency community "It's digital" "It's anonymous" "It can't be seized or controlled by the government". Sure, as though these extremely experienced professionals and very powerful institutions are going to read a tweet from one of the crypto maxis and just throw their hands up and say "It's on the internet, I guess there's nothing we can do about it".

These groups are very, very good at what they do. They've seen it all and even if it's XMR (or whatever) with the proper motivation they will find it (and you). Very, very few people and organizations have the full skill set required to evade these authorities.
"Spawn a few threads if you have thousands of files to open."
You've gone so deep into the trees that you can't see the forest. Creating a workaround wrapper or spawning unnecessary threads is a bad idea. You want async io or io_uring.
I love how everyone is chomping at the bits to get one of those iPods with the Wolfson DAC when a) most people can't hear the difference and b) even among people who can, they're probably not using headphones* that are good enough to take advantage of the difference.

* and/but/also c) even if they can hear the difference, and have a headset that can express the difference, they're probably not using these in a quiet enough environment where it matters.
I really like and emphesize withe this paragraph:

"Being easy to work with doesn’t mean being a sycophant or a pushover. It doesn’t mean not having and expressing strong opinions. In fact, some of the people I find easiest to work with are people who consistently disagree with me! “Easy to work with” means that you act professionally at all times. You disagree respectfully. You seek to understand before looking to be understood. You communicate clearly. You value your commitments."
The earliest browser to support the audio tag that I can find would be Safari 3.1, or the first release of Chrome, in 2008.

(No support in Netscape. Firefox in 2009, IE got it in 2010, Opera in 2011).

Before then, I'd be expecting bgsound on IE, or embed for everyone else, or object and a plugin.
I'm kinda surprised that police don't get warrants for death threats. Sites like Reddit and Facebook collect lots of data. Even if someone is trying to be anonymous, they can likely connect it to a person. Some people might be able to mask their trail, but the vast majority can't.

It just seems surprising that no one seems to actually investigate and prosecute those who make death threats online. I'm not saying that people should lose anonymity online in the vast majority of cases, but when people are making death threats and even coordinating and conspiring to harass someone with death threats and potential real-world harm, it seems like police should be getting warrants for things like IP addresses, device IDs, browser fingerprints, phone numbers, and other anti-spam information that sites are using.

I know some people know a lot about how they're being tracked online, but most people don't. If there are hundreds of people posting death threats, most probably aren't hiding who they are well. Prosecuting even a few seems like it would deter a lot more. How confident are you that you aren't leaving a trail? I'm not saying that people should be generally worried about leaving a trail, but when it comes to death threats that can turn into actual murder people seem oddly confident that no one will track them down - despite all we know about how good platforms like Facebook are at figuring out who we really are.

It's not like police aren't asking for huge warrants from people like Google. Google has said that they're getting a huge number of geofence warrants - "hey, give us a list of everyone who has been in this geographic area." That seems way more problematic than "hey, there has been a criminal assault (death threat) and we want all identifying information you have on this account that committed the assault." Again, I'm not saying that the person behind the account should instantly be found guilty (accounts can be hacked and such), but it seems to offer a much more precise avenue of getting to bad people than a geofence warrant with a lot fewer privacy implications.

> I contacted Facebook. The best the company could suggest was to block trolls from future posts

Facebook knows who these people are. They could ban them from FB/WhatsApp/Instagram. It's weird because they seem like the type of thing you'd want to ban for SPAM/harrassment.

It seems weird that the response from sites and police seems to be: there's nothing we can do. These are the same sites that figure out things voting rings for anti-spam reasons. These are the same police that vigorously want to prosecute someone for stealing $20. But when it comes to death threats (that can turn into actual murder), they seem to think "that seems like a minor inconvenience compared to SPAM or someone stealing $20."
I just want to call out that OP has clients who they serve and identified this business opportunity.

Going the other way of buying a failing hosting company would inherit its problems, mainly the lack of customers to break even.
I’ve heard traveling with a flare gun checked in your luggage allows for standard lock usage, which will require you be present for bag searches (at lease domestically, US). Not what you are asking for but a cleaver ‘hack’ non the less.
Canada relocates embassy staff to Lviv
I tend to manage them fairly actively apart from some essentials (hosting, email, Spotify, iCloud). If you're not using a service then pause it and re-subscribe when you need it. That's generally what I do, I also cull the non-essential ones if I know I don't have a new project/client in the pipeline or am taking some time off.
There's different schools of thought around this and I certainly understand your perspective. At AWS, carrying a pager at limited times (in our team, 2-3 weeks per quarter as mentioned in the link) is considered an important part of our culture of operating at-scale services. In our team, we try to minimize oncall burden as much as possible by investing in automation, and only alarm if the system really doesn't know what to do. We have a separate planning bucket for burden reduction every quarter.

Other interesting thing to mention is that as an SDE you're not the only one that has oncall duties. In our team at least, PMTs are also oncall for about the same time. This creates a good dynamic as everyone is incentivized to minimize the oncall burden.
There was talk from, I think, Sensik (?) (anyway, the LinkedIn leadership influencer) about teams. It pointed at that, that being "easy" to work with is more important then being good at your job. He backed that up with something or other about the Navy SEALs (because which other outfit would you use, right?). Thing is, if we stay in the picture, I think the person the SEALs find "easy" to work with might be pretty different from the person Army kitchen staff find "easy", or any non-special-ops unit at that. My point is, the one person's jerk is the other person's "easy to work with" great fit.
Nah. Needs more animated "under construction" GIFs, a hit counter, and maybe a guest book... lol.

Falcon 9 has a launch velocity limit imposed by the throwaway second stage. Starship can be more expensive and still make sense if you want to launch a lot of payloads quickly.

That said, SpaceX is targeting $10M for a Starship launch early on, with aspirations of bringing that down towards a single million. https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-spacex-starship-ro...

It seems like her soft skills are already masterful - more effective than anyone else. Why would she need another opportunity to hone them?

That's a vague promise here of better career prospects, but this company isn't really rewarding the difference (or telling us) in talent when she's already working for them.
I mean, you could also come up with plenty of other uncharitable explanations for why democrats/republicans endorse certain policies, but that's not helpful if your objective is to understand the other side.

Starship is funded by profits from other contracts. After fulfilling the other contracts (for launch services on Falcon 9 etc.) that cash is theirs to spend without further strings.
I'm genuinely curious - this is the first I've heard of those countries being referred to as "libertarian." What makes them libertarian?

Among other things, they all have substantial taxes (in the 25-40% of take-home income range) and use it to fund substantial civic infrastructure / state-run welfare. My understanding is that libertarianism is generally sympathetic to the position that taxation is theft, and libertarianism is incompatible with large governments and large social safety nets. But it seems like I'm missing something.

(I usually see these countries being described as social-democratic - is that incorrect?)
A couple of companies have been burned by that when a large number of customers all filed for arbitration at the same time. Because the company is responsible for the arbitration costs, it quickly became much more expensive than defending a class action lawsuit would have been. Arbitration is good if you're only expecting random one-off lawsuits here and there but if you're going to anger a large number of people, using it as an alternative to the legal system can quickly backfire.
I wasn't comparing numba to numpy. I was comparing to python code where you don't care about performance. The main reason I don't find numba appealing is that Julia gives you numba like performance while allowing you to use structs (think classes) to organize stuff.
Actually, that's an interesting idea for a startup. What if every lock had a serial number (maybe on a scannable QR code?), and the serial number goes through an algorithm and creates a unique key shape from it. That key is provided to the consumer and the TSA can recreate that key by entering said serial number into the proprietary algorithm. You'd need some sort of super-fast-3D printer, but I don't think exceptional accuracy would be necessary.

You could even have the keys printed as the bag is working its way through the chute to the officers.

Better than the current system... (I don't think this solution is perfect, but it's better than either having your lock broken off, or having your lock be vulnerable to one of 7 known TSA keys.)
When will anonymous (guest) accounts be available, and how will they work? Will there be a simple way to promote them to regular user accounts?

As you may know, HN never fails to complain about having to create a new user account to try a service out. Sometimes when you can try a service out before signing up, it's a better experience.
The title is a bit unclear. This is about the right to condense your weekly working hours into 4 longer days. And the company can only refuse that with a good reason.
It's also illegal in the U.S. to turn away customers because of their race. That's more relevant than private club membership.
Yeah, think you could. They have a lambda adapter as well, so you’d get nearly infinite scale straight away.
Yeah, I stink. You're better off not hiring me.
I know, facebook is evil. However, with facebook, you have one app for all your communities. With this, you will have one app for _each_ of your communities?

I would rather have a bookmark-able URL instead of an attention grabbing mobile app.

Should an accusation alone have that effect?
> For a while they just pushed me to get any job I could. I worked in a call centre (horrible), door to door sales (more horrible), a butcher in supermarket (slightly horrible), working in the NHS (terrible pay, lovely people).

This is a large part of it, especially as someone whose community is likely to have those sorts of jobs. If everybody around you hates their job and you grow up in a culture where people actively despise their workplaces/management, you assume that's just how jobs are.

EVERYBODY I grew up around hated their jobs, so it's really hard for me to know what to put up with. To people like my stepdad, my displeasure at how I'm treated by leadership is complete stuck up whining: I personally make more than him + my mother and their households ever have, I'm not in physical danger (unlike him doing HVAC work, my mom doing warehouse work, my siblings' SOs who work landscaping, etc), etc. I was taught growing up that basically unless your boss put you in the hospital, you were lucky to not be homeless or starving and work just sucks.

This is a particularly hard mindset to get out of because in white-collar environments, you can't talk about how growing up blue collar or working class makes you anxious because a lot of 'professionalism' boils down to 'don't let the nice people know you're a peasant or you'll be kicked out for not being a culture fit'.

The pandemic has been very helpful, ironically! I'm more than willing to blame myself for all my life problems, but when I see OTHER people being treated like I was, it raises my heckles and pisses me off.

I'm so glad to hear that you found a job you like. I'm hoping to move from a small-shop/journeyman dev to working in a dev team and I'm trying to maintain optimism, so stories like that help!
As an employer there are plenty of jobs that I would be perfectly fine allowing the employee to work 20% less, as long as they cost me 20% less.

The point of the 4 day week is to decouple the link between output and time. Most employers aren't paying people for 5 * 8 hours of their time. They're paying them for "however much of X work you can do in 40 hours". But, and this is the key point, if tech has moved forward to enable people to do "40 hours of X work" in 32 hours then people could work a 4 day week for the same money that they're earning now.

For a large number of jobs that absolutely is the case, and people sit around wasting 8 hours a week doing very little because they can get all their work done in less time. Rather than them wasting the time, which doesn't benefit you at all, why not just work 4 days? People get more time for themselves, so they're happier, and you benefit from happier, more motivated staff. Everyone wins.
> Only 60 something percent of Americans believed the moon landings were real the year they happened.

What is your basis for this? Were you alive then? I was. I watched the first Moon landing on television. Nobody was talking about how it was faked.
I thought a lot about it since then, and I still think about it even before this whole crisis...

You're being overly pessimistic saying nobody cares or remembers... We just can't do anything about it so we don't talk about it
I frequently cancel subscriptions to services I don't use often and just re-subscribe when I want them again. I've been on and off spotify, netflix, and amazon prime, and a few subscription based games quite a few times at this point.

The only things I pay for on a subscription basis at the moment is $11 a month for a subscription-based game and $25 a month to a patreon so that I can read their weekly chapter early. I could drop the latter if I was willing to go a few weeks without updates, but I'm too invested in the current point of the story and do not yet mind the cost.

I also don't think people spending $200 a month on subscriptions is out of the norm, considering most people I know from the generation above mine pay that just for their cable bill. That being said, I still think it's crazy to spend that kind of money for something like cable.

To be honest, this just reads like a post from /r/personalfinance from someone who is not good at managing their money. I don't know how much your monthly expenses cut into your income, but I would guess noticeably so if you are making this post.

EDIT

I realized I missed a few other things I pay for since I don't think of them as subscriptions, even if they are. I pay whatever it costs to own 5 domain names and a digitalocean droplet.
Yes, I went through dozens of HN accounts before I finally figured out that the IP address at my ex-wife's house was on some kind of HN automatic kill list. Every time I went over there and glanced at HN, that account would get silently shadowbanned. HN doesn't have any moral authority to lecture Reddit on this topic.
Ivy League admissions will always and inherently be about gatekeeping, not equality. The whole system is built around that goal. If you really care about having high-quality "college education for everyone", you'll have to look elsewhere for it and radically expand your notion of where a "high-quality education" might come from.

(As an aside, "affirmative action" is a hugely misleading term for race-biased special treatment in admissions and the like. The original meaning of that phrase just meant "take action to ensure that everyone is being treated equally under the law, and no covert violation of their rights is going on". Having an overt policy that requires special treatment for some is the opposite of what "affirmative action" means! It's an Orwellian twist, a Big Lie meant to make race-biased discrimination acceptable to those who don't know any better.)
