We do have the all-inclusive pricing, but we also offer a BringYourOwnVM plan where you pay yourself for the VM with your cloud provider and you pay to us only management fees.

Management fees are based on the VM size you connect, we charge $5 per CPU + $2.5 per GB RAM + 0.25 per 10GB/disk.
This is a monthly estimation but this is also billed per hour without any commitment.

Let's take an example, if you have a VM with 1 CPU/1GB RAM/20GB disk, total per month for the management fees are 5+2.5+0.5 = $8 per month.

And for that price you get automated OS & Software updates, alerts & monitoring, global private networking, automated remote backups with versioning in another DC, Migration capabilities and few other things.

It's bold of the Nintendo family to make such statements about Japanese society when they can't even get their own company under control themselves. Nintendo is probably the most universally hated gaming company and it's true of other Japanese companies as well. They seem to be scared of the internet and goes out of their way to claim copyright infringement on anything fan made having to do with their intellectual property. They will try take down everything they possibly can, it's so bad you have to fear covering any of their games, even their music on platforms such as YouTube. Any efforts to preserve old Nintendo games via e.g. emulation is quickly met with a lawsuit. Whether or not you comply with their requests they will try to sue you for millions, even children. Just check out all the recent cases on Google. https://www.google.com/search?q=nintendo+sues
Not to take a dump on this product in particular but at this point I feel like there are more note-taking apps out there than people willing to pay for a note taking app.

Why does everybody and their dog think that competing with the thing that comes with all my devices for free (Apple Notes, Google Keep) is a great business opportunity? I can’t seem to wrap my mind around this.
Are you considering accepting payments in some form of cryptocurrency? Would love to preorder.
I would expect any software to come with security fixes, and bug fixes, even after purchase, even when I don't pay for a recurring fee.

Not only does none of these ring a bell, all the software ones seem to be legitimate garbage. Why did intel buy a cloud gaming startup?
There's plenty of us that use Signal and aren't terrorists or extremists. Do you drive a car or use cash? Terrorists do those things also.

This presentation should give insight to some of the possibilities of ebpf. Strace is passive, ebpf can be active and make decisions in kernel space.

There are inaccurate hash algorithms like ahash for images, isn't there something like this or even ML to detect this? Why just delete instead if blacklist?
> Writing text that can be understood by as many people as possible seems like an obvious best practice.

Not necessarily? If what you’re writing is intended for a completely general audience, or an audience that follows the distribution of an idealized general audience, maybe. And if the most important goal is understandability as well. But often writing is for purposes and audiences other than that. Taking it as axiomatic that the first and most important goal is comprehension by the widest possible audience suggests you should write at (at most) a fifth or sixth grade level. Anything above that and you’ve already failed at the “obvious best practice”.
I think this has to do with it possibly being the most successful least technological (as in, the ratio of success to technology investment is nearly infinite) capitalist enterprise in existence.

Warren Buffett is practically a Luddite.
And cloud operations. We already have our own clouds (Google Drive, iCloud). It shouldn't be necessary to pay for another cloud storage solution if you don't need it.

This sounds like a lie. There is no obligation to pay everyone the same (and neither would this regulation, once it is eventually agreed, create such an obligation).
You want to trade a system that has decayed with a system that is deliberately rotten. Banks and securities are regulated, have some limited democratic governance, and crypto is designed to not have these things. That’s definitely propagandist thinking, mixed with a cherry picking and a dash of confirmation bias. What’s shocking is that people share your views in good faith.
There are at least two major languages (or dialects, depending on how you define it) in south-east mainland China. Cantonese and Hokkien.

Cantonese is mainly spoken in Guangdong (historically known as Canton), and Hokkien mainly Fujian. They are two very different languages.

There are a lot of people in Taiwan speaking Hokkien.

This is a great writeup, and awesome to see vector databases come up more and more often.

For anyone interested in going down this rabbit hole, we have an entire learning center about vector databases and vector search (https://www.pinecone.io/learn/) including the obligatory "What is a Vector Database" intro with example notebooks: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/vector-database/
F' that. I worked for Kink.com (NSFW) (as a software engineer) and I'm proud of it. I got experience building cutting edge, high demand systems and services that I wouldn't have gotten elsewhere. We did realtime 1080p streaming video before anyone else and a full micro currency (Kinks). I even built a whole ad serving system that served banners from sites like PornHub (so I got a taste of the traffic levels they had).

If that held me back from getting a job at some puritanical company, so be it. I wouldn't have wanted to work there any way.
I'm a poor negotiator and started my career with a pretty middling salary at a big company in the Midwest. I also tend to get comfortable in roles and don't advocate for myself well or jump jobs often. What this adds up to is that I'm now mid-career and doing fine, but not making anything like the startling salary numbers you sometimes see mentioned here. But I don't blame anybody for it. Nobody owes me more money. Nobody was ever obligated at any point along the way to offer me more money than I was willing to take. I don't feel an injustice has occurred that needs to be righted by legislation. I don't believe I "should" be given more or that I deserve it in some kind of cosmic, abstract sense.

The status of my salary has an easily articulated and understandable explanation. Nobody did anything wrong and nothing needs to be done to correct it (by anyone but me).

That's such a ludicrous statement I can only assume you meant to say something else
Sarcastic comment adding nothing to the discussion. How rare.
int % float -> float is not a native operation I'm aware of on any CPU or GPU. Even C doesn't have this operation -- the % operator only applies to integers, and the float variant is a function, fmodf(float, float); shading languages are similar. Also note that GPUs don't have any sort of integer division instruction.

Because note-taking experience is subjective, and there are no solution which fits everyones taste and purpose.
Trailing off topic, but what's the static wikipedia mirror? I contemplated making something like that some years ago when wikipedia was quite slow.
Yes, exactly. Because the kids are too fucking snowflake to even dare talk to someone on the phone. That's my point you're proving, not yours.
To this day, it's the only time I got over a minute of laughter out of someone (to the point that they cried) simply by showing them a thing they haven't seen before (this site, back when it was still new). Its absurdity can kill you, lol.

Very interesting! I'm sort of baffled at all the comments here talking about how the price is too high. I feel like you don't see those sort of comments when the new Apple MBP's are announced or whatever (and if I understand, this is a computer + monitor). Maybe it's just because the posting time is a bit early and so all those San Francisco developers dripping with cash aren't up yet.

One quick question I didn't see answered in the video or on the home page: what's the accommodation distance? Normally I think my eyes would get fatigued if it's too close, but if this is meant for working on office-type stuff, then I suppose you'd want it to be pretty close to a normal monitor distance away.
I, for one, don't understand why can't they give Hans a computer and an internet connection and allow him to work on some open-source project.

I still have every game I purchased; even ones that have long been pulled from the store.

The music cutting issue is valid. However, it can be overcome by leaving the game downloaded and turning off updates for it. Plus, the game will always be available, which was my point.

But the flip side to that is Steam also automatically moves games up a tier. So a base game bought at launch might get automatically updated to a special addition which includes all the DLC and/or texture pack updates.

> Or your OS drops 32 bit / x86 support.

I can still download the game, which is all steam promises. From there, I can make it work via VM.
Hahaha I got this once - I was working for a startup in the Bay Area remotely from my place in Oxford and then wanted to see what interesting jobs existed in the local area. There is a small cluster of space startups nearby so I applied to one of those through a recruiter. He didn't seem to understand why I was looking to go from a job paying ~$200k to ~$50k (Oxford does not pay developers well at all!) and saying "Because I want to have my code go to space" didn't seem to be a good enough answer.
Obsidian Admonition looks nice - thanks for the mention. I really hate quoting in markdown and miss the org-mode syntax of just marking the start/end, rather than having to edit every single line. This looks like it pretty much solves my complaints.

And I'll check out sliding panes. It's fun for browsing Andy's website, but was skeptical I'd like it in my own Obsidian instance.
> “So people who live their life alone without others, they may not be unhappy. But they also may not experience the full spectrum of pleasure.” And they might not even realize it.

Who cares about the "full spectrum of pleasure"? Should we judge people who have never had sex? Should we judge people who have never used heroin? Life isn't all about pleasure. As long as they're happy and not hurting anyone, just let them live.
I read somewhere pay transparency just lowers the amount of pay for disagreeable people who try to earn more. It makes things cheaper for businesses in general because it's harder to get a rise.

Nobody has ever been able to define what equal pay for equal work means because every human being is different (skills, work ethic, ease of working with them, timeliness, negotiation skills, assertiveness, leadership ability etc. etc). So I can understand businesses playing it safe and just paying everybody less than trying to keep people who are good but more demanding of higher salaries.
I think you should change it with someone who receives a text message for 2FA or something like that.
Not really. Historically, no global currency since the Byzantine Solidus (whose practical dominance vaned with the Fourth Crusade in 1200-something) has lasted longer than 80-100 years. So, Bitcoin isn't even trying to do so.
In this proposal, I dislike the very heavy and singular emphasis on gender. In my country, the Netherlands, when accounting for hours worked and the field people work in, the gap is about 5%. Some theorize part of this remaining small gap is men more aggressively negotiating, but I'm unsure. In any case it's pretty much a solved problem.

Even more if you consider the trend. girls/women dominate in higher education and the breadwinner model is soon to be flipped. Add to that the fact that in some fields, women are now favored to balance the headcount in terms of diversity.

Sometimes in extreme ways even. The university of Eindhoven has stopped considering men altogether in their hiring of professors. Imagine being an absolute guru in your field, fully qualified and wanting to passionately teach at this very high level. But you can't...because you have a penis.

None of this is to say that no work remains in this area, but I openly wonder if legislation is proportional to the issue at hand, if there's even an issue in the first place. The legislation seems distrustful of businesses, assuming there's some secret plot against women progressing.

I frankly find this type of regulation insulting and degrading to women and minorities. It creates this image that society is strongly working against you at every level, which is vastly overstating things. It also constantly signals to you that you're a helpless creature with no agency, you require special help with every interaction in society, as you can definitely not make it on your own.

It must feel terrible to constantly be reminded of the fact that just your gender defines you. You're not a talented female programmer that is creative and a great communicator. No, you're a woman. A special case. It must feel even worse to constantly have to wonder where you've been "helped" in your career and if you're just a diversity token. Did you get that raise based on performance or because it looks good on the Excel sheet sent to the EU?

We're even at risk of making nuclear objects out of women. Businesses and male colleagues being scared of them. For example, a recent study showed that female founders do not get useful critical feedback from VCs whilst male founders get harsh but useful feedback.

I guess the VCs are scared. Is this what we want in the work place, male-female interactions not based on good intent but based on fear and mistrust? Imagine being a woman and having a bad week. At the end of the week your male manager says: "best week ever, proud of you". Would you at all feel taken serious?
Nice! We're big on being compatible with as many people as reasonably possible, as we've been annoyed by that in other headsets in the past.

* Technically, there's another +-2mm of allowable eye center x/y/z movement that we've reserved for the headset moving around + eye relief. So in theory the maximum IPD would be closer to 81mm, but that puts your right on the edge of reaching our target picture quality.
Yep, to be explicit: Supernotes is not currently E2EE. It is something we'd certainly like to add in the future, but up until now our priority has been on building out UX and sharing features, which are somewhat at odds with E2EE (at least when it comes to what a 2-man team can reasonably accomplish). There is a delicate balance we want to strike here, as part of the goal of Supernotes is to give users peace of mind so that they don't need to worry about what happens if they lose their laptop and didn't have it backed up.

We've been toying with some ideas that would allow more technical users to take matters into their own hands and take on the responsibility of managing their private keys themselves, but that isn't quite ready yet.
> Do you have a single fact to back up this extraordinary claim?

Which claim?

Microsoft eventually had to remove Easter eggs entirely, because of government contracts that specified there could be no undocumented behavior in their software.
Is the intention, down the road, to sell new "compute packs" to allow for upgrades? Is the interface between the HMD and the compute sufficiently engineered and featureful to allow that to actually happen?

Similar to a camera system w/ interchangeable lenses, I'd be more apt to buy into this ecosystem if I knew that I could keep my HMD (w/ prescription inserts, perhaps custom-cut padding, etc) but change out the "compute" at a later time.

What's the battery replacement "story"? Can the unit run with an external power source without a functioning internal battery?
> an inelegant compromise ... It's the one thing I would change about Wordle's implementation

What would you change specifically? Adding an API call backed by servers / lambdas? The creator mentioned it costs in the tens of dollars per month to run wordle for 10s of millions of daily players. Having to run servers would not only add a ton of cost, but now be vulnerable to latency spikes, ddos, downtime.

Wordle scaled to 10s of millions in a few months, without any latency or downtime. Pretty elegant in my book.
Using 3rd party library or framework is still code, it's 10 times more code than you actually need.
Interesting that so many of these "unique" sites are ones that are more about the unique person behind them or a vision of an older internet. One that I think is unique on it's own merits:

A little confusing, but it allows advanced searching across multiple image search sites - set your filters then it shows you all the sites you can search with those settings and deep links to the search results for each one.
Redpanda raises $50M in Series B
Then you aren't a early adopter. It's astonishing how many people here on hackernews don't understand this. Yes it's a lot of money, but it isn't comparable to anything else on the market right now. If you think it does you haven't actually looked at the specs or know anything about the VR market right now.

I get being cynical, but damn, ya'll need to shut up and stop trolling. This first edition is about testing the market. Proving people will buy it in a limited run and get the ball moving. If this first run goes well then there will hopefully be a v2 that is cheaper and enjoys the economies of scale.

It's like you never want a new manufacturer to exist. If you aren't going to buy it, then just don't buy it. You could say "hey this is too pricey for me right now with the risk, maybe in the future I'll be in the market" and go on about your day.
Nicely done! Someone should send this to UA...
Lots of us got burnt with data loss and aren’t willing to give it a chance again. Maybe it’s better now? I don’t have a reason to give it a second chance when there are plenty of stable alternatives that have saved my ass I’m the past instead of telling me I’m SOL.
> The keyboard is Durgod Fusion btw (non-split one).

There's a split one?
Like it or not, that's probably where the industry will be in 5 years. You might not like it, but X-as-a-service make way more money for the company, and shareholders.

It'll probably look like this: buy a 'cheap' Intel CPU for $99 (say, 4P, 12E cores clocked at 2 GHz), with "Turbo" to 4.5 GHz being a $79/year subscription and "Extreme Turbo Max" to 5.1 GHz being an additional $35/year. First year free, of course, to get you hooked on the 'turbo' speeds.

Intel would be able to capture ~97% of those proceeds; instead of having to pay XX% to the distributor and retailer.

Would consumers revolt? Some might, but the masses will click 'Buy Now' with a $99 sticker price versus competitor offerings at $400; give it one financial year and AMD's board will force them to follow suit.
Can I turn others tweets into a blog? Especially one that unspools Twitters Threads so each blogpost contains the entire train of thought?

> Negotiation skills shouldn't drive compensation. Value to the company should.

What percentage of the per-employee revenue do employees deserve? Negotiation is the way of establishing this, and 'value' is only one part of the equation.

Similarly: price of products on the market are not established based on how valuable that product is to the buyer. That's only one factor.

I understand the appeeal of what you're saying, but we don't have many good examples of it working well.
