I relate so much to this.
Star Trek shaped a lot of my world view. I wish we had more TV shows like that today.

But then, looking at some comments here cheering suffering of others and passing judgement reminds me of the episode 'encounter at far point', maybe Q was right after all.
From the article:

> Buying at record prices in a market environment in which geopolitical decisions and the strategic behaviour of a pivotal supplier can drastically change the demand-supply balance is a bet with limited upside and massive downsides (see Figure 5). Just imagine what would happen if by the summer, EU gas companies managed to amass close to 1000 TWh and Gazprom suddenly decides it is time to release the volumes it withheld last year. Prices would drop dramatically,

The market needs to believe that high prices are permanent and cheap prices aren’t going to come back. It seems like the solution to this would be to guarantee that prices can’t drop dramatically? I don’t think a tariff right now makes sense (prices are high) but if one were announced to take effect later (perhaps on Russian gas sales above a limited amount) then it would stabilize prices for non-Russian gas sellers.

Consider it a carbon / geopolitical risk tax. Good for the environment and the money could go to pay for NATO. It seems better than the money going to Russia?
Will they be auctioning these domains?
Finish your degree, doesn't matter if it's Math and Econ, lots of these majors get into software as a profession.

If you have experience with SQL and are good at it you can find work everywhere with that alone.

If you want to become more full stack learn one of the more popular web app front ends, however I will note that I've used SQL for nearly three decades, the only other tech that I can think of that existed in 1992 and is still fairly mainstream today would be shell scripting and PHP. All the modern web tech, javascript-y stuff is shifting sand and it will change or be replaced as fast as you can become competent at it. It's exciting at first, then frustrating, then demotivating. Or at least that's how it seems to me.
That's a nice project idea. Made me try it in common lisp which comes with a compiler built in. It's fairly doable. The only downside is the big executable sizes for SBCL and CCL, and the relatively slow startup times for ECL.
So, what's the likely outcome here?

The pipeline is built and presumably functional. It seems like the pipeline will be put into use once this business with Russia is over.
Aquarium Learning (YC S20) | Remote (US) | Full-time | Engineering (Backend, Full Stack, Infra)

Data Management for Deep Learning.

Machine learning models are only as good as the datasets they're trained on, and that means that most improvement to model performance comes from improvement to the quality and diversity of their datasets. Our platform [1] makes it easy for ML teams to find anomalies + failure patterns in their datasets and fix these problems by editing / adding the right data. So the next time you retrain your model, it just gets better.

We have great customers like Pinterest and Woven Planet, and are backed by top investors like Sequoia Capital and YCombinator. We're currently growing our engineering team, tackling projects like streaming data pipelines, data clustering for visualization, and tight integrations into third party platforms.

Product Stack: Typescript, React, Python

Infra Stack: GCP (and various managed services), Apache Beam, Postgres, Docker, etc.

Our postings are here [2], or just reach out to me over email at quinn@companydomain.

The point is that SALES tax in the US doesn't correspond with "income" or even revenue. Sales tax isn't determined by the seller's characteristics - it depends on the buyer.
With the in-game currency and mandatory Microsoft accounts, unfortunately one can see self-hosted Minecraft Java server development halted as well in foreseeable future. I would not be totally surprised if they have been strategically placing bugs (to ruin the experience for those who bought the game but don’t want to be locked in) already.
I don't get the idea about this "metaverse" kind of thing. So it's not a game so there is no gameplay. You just run around in a 3d world which is boring as hell and post pictures on the walls or post some kind of lame animated emote both of which you can do in any messaging app without having the issue that it could not be seen.

Some things are imo not suitable as a 3D experience, at least unless it is much, much better than you get with a normal conference call or stream. This is certainly proof of that.

I love how this probably sounds like something super cool to executives with little to no technical experience or older office people who aren't into gaming but seriously if I worked for a company that would require me to join such a pointless thing I would most certainly resign from my position on the same day.

Stop trying to gamify work, it's work and not a video game. On top of that, it's ridiculously close to look like a kindergarten and I have no understanding why some companies want to treat grown adults as small children.

This idea is so bad that it must have come from some woke people that hear the metaverse and go all in on the hype not thinking of if that's actually something people want to do. People who are completely disconnected from the actual society and live in some tech bubble. I'd rather live in a shed in the forest than to run around in a 3D open office space.

I am sorry to be so negative, but even if the actual demo could be something cool that could be used for games in the browser this idea deserves criticism.
It should be both. Base is important for home purchases and 401k matching. TC is complicated b/c of all the strings.
That's bleak.

"absorb from a candidate that tackles X quickly" sounds a lot like "waste" to me.

The fact is, if X can be done by a $100k candidate, and you're hiring a $150k candidate, you probably expect more than X of them, and those extra expectations need to be communicated.
Yes on order of timing around nukes or when we knew of them. But fidel was a tyrant who impoverished his people.

The funniest thing was his hearse braking down and having to be pushed by his soldiers. Really summed the mans contributions…
It's only high if the dealership isn't offering incentives in some way. That 0.9% APR is because BMW (or the dealership) is subsidizing it in kickbacks. Not every dealership/brand does that.

There is no sign they won't do something like what they did in the future when the situation changes. So probably it's safer to move to a different registrar you trust more.

Once you stop being or showing signs of being "anti-regime" by any means, you are at risk again.

And, using the service for business, do you really want to spend time understanding today's agenda for this or that company giving you this service?

I wanted to try some new service after using one of them for years, just to see how things can work with a different registrar. I registered a domain 2 weeks ago with Namecheap and now I cannot easily transfer it to another registrar because there is a technical limitation when you have to wait for at least 60 days after first registration before you can transfer it.

I tried to transfer and failed so I had to contact Namecheap support to get an advice how to be in the situation of the limited time I have before 22nd of March.
Absolutely, we had so far 3 generations of pacifist politicians in the West who spoon fed dictators, instead strangling them. And the result is on every TV channel now.

No matter what your defence posture is, how many weapons you have, how many megatons is your nuke, all your weapons are useless if you don't use them, and more so, if you don't want to use them.

To the major demographic on HN, you have to change. There is no succinct, suave, hispter startup solution to a Russian paratrooper landing on your lawn. There is none.

You, and HN have to get ALL political, just like the society itself.

Next time somebody tries to shut your mouth for speaking about politics, I would've said the most un-gentle response to that man's face be the most befitting action.
Nice project, but this is not super useful in practice. HTTP itself is a DSL, so this is another DSL around that DSL. I would definitely choose curl and bash over any other abstraction, and if logic was needed, there are great libraries in every language to do this - requests in Python for example. Sounds like a good learning experience though!
> Frankly, unless ARM does radically change their business model, I do not expect them to survive.

I kind of agree, but it’s not straightforward. ARM’s growth wasn’t so much a hockey stick as a more continuous curve with a small exponent. Yes, they only started in 1990, but that was itself a reboot/restart after acorn’s 12 years of effort. And they were scrambling hard for every deal for at least another 15 years.

The environment in which RISC-V emerged is different, of course, but many of the dynamics are still the same. Car companies were still using 16 and even 8 bit devices into the 21st century.

Secondly, ARM has a large arsenal of patents that go along with the license, and they continue to add to the load.

I bear ARM no ill will but I also want RISC-V to supplant them. I just don’t think it’s automatic.

It allows for text messages via satallite and the service is fairly affordable.
I do feel like current conferencing apps like meet and zoom are probably not the endgame for digital communication and adding a 3D spacial element can make a lot of interactions intuitive, even if it feels silly at first. like spontaneously breaking out a conversation into small groups if there is proximity based audio chat. You don't have to buy into the "metaverse" to see the utility in a fun little tool like this.
That reason was not given in the OPs tweet, that's the whole point.

The other person replying already pointed out why this is an apples-to-oranges sort of argument, but for one specific point:

> There is no technical reason that you can't do forward secrecy for PGP. There is simply no real need for it.

Erm, I think there is such a reason--or at least, I can't imagine how you would implement PFS with PGP without substantially changing the usage. How would you do session key management a la https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Ratchet_Algorithm?

The entire premise of PGP seems to be that I can email you using just your long-lived key, without any other sort of session keying. That seems to fundamentally prevent PFS, no?
I'm not Turk. Good assumption though.

think for a minute - the energy inputs, the materials inputs, the transportation inputs, the intellectual work inputs, the software architecture advances inputs..

asking for "free" in the face of these factual inputs, appears to echo the most lazy and gluttonous of human instincts.. really unproductive, spoken from a person who has tried to confront the excesses of American markets e.g. software patents, rent-seeking models, etc..

also spoken from a person who defends regularly "free as in Freedom, not free as in BEER" .. this is a call for free beer in the worst form.. really unproductive
Thank you for your feedback! Are you a copywriter? I really like how you rewrote all of the original sentences.

Based on your comments and other feedback I have received in this thread I have decided to take the page offline and put back a simple comparison table page later. I might re-introduce the article text after I have rewritten it in a more neutral tone of voice, like in your examples. Thank you!
Smartlane | Backend Engineers, DevOps, Platform, Site Reliability Engineers, Data Scientists and Engineers | Munich, Germany or REMOTE (EU/CET+/-1)

I'm Sven, hiring manager for the positions above.

What do we do? We are a SaaS company that provides logistics companies with automatic and optimized routes for pickup and delivery - sort of "dispatching as a service" (see https://smartlane.de).

Why is it interesting? It's a rather hard problem - we have unstructured customer data with lots of implicit knowledge in dispatcher's heads and need to find optimal routes for hundreds of trucks picking up and delivering thousands of shipments. By optimizing routes, we achieve massive fuel (and therefore CO_2) savings. We are still small (ten engineers, planning to grow this year to about 30) so everyone can shape and influence things. If you like to build stuff and quickly see the effects of your work, Smartlane is the right place for you. We work with React/Typescript on the Frontend and Python/Flask on the backend (plus AWS). Then we do lots of constraint-based linear optimization with OR Tools and other things.

What are my key convictions as a manager?

- Code can and should always be refactored/rewritten

- We are all grown-ups - There are three to four interviews, each between 30 mins or 1 hour - no coding assignment

- Results are more important than time worked. No death marches.

How do we work?

Due to Covid, we are all working remotely. Beginning in late March we can probably return to the office. I aim to have the team physically around maybe once a week. If that's not feasible, no worries, apply regardless. I'm sure we can find a solution. The only thing of relevance is to be in about the same time zone as Munich, so CET +/-2 is fine. We can also help with visas.

If you want to apply, email me (f"sven{that_weird_a_with_the_circle_around_it}{company_name}.de") your CV and maybe a couple of words about yourself and your coding convictions.
It's not a bank issue. The retail F&I staff at most mainstream dealerships aren't accustomed to dealing with wire transfers and literally don't know what buttons to push. You can probably get it done eventually but it will involve some delays and complaints.
You can have them yesterday (RISC-V or else), if performance isn't a concern and if you're OK with deploying said computer inside a FPGA.
Yes it is a thing, I've had almost every kind of test under the sun during a job interview at this point. The best companies to work for IME are the ones that don't test you at all: You sit down with a domain-knowledgeable manager and an expert, and you figure out if you fit right.
Why is blog spam like this consistently getting close to the top of HN? It's a brand new account pushing an email harvester "marketing" page with a flimsy excuse for interesting content.
> Read sources with different points of view and take the average.

This is a horrible algorithm. Someone claims the Holocaust claimed millions of lives, but someone else claims it never happened or at most killed a few thousands. Is the truth "somewhere in the middle"? Of course not. You cant just average sources of information of different quality.

Your mention of air shipping and the difference between domestic and international ports is well taken. As I understand it, foreign aircraft operators are likewise prohibited from inter-domestic flights. Maybe it all makes sense in a Chesterton's fence sort of way.
The fine article points out that RISC-V is succeeding because it allows businesses to create processors customized with their own (no doubt proprietary) extensions for their own needs. So unless somebody wants to pay the immense engineering costs to create a completely libre processor, no.

Yes, but only if the publisher publishes images with that architecture.
But this is obviously untrue.

NATO is historically and inherently an anti-Russian alliance. It has been since it's inception. In 90's and 00's Russia has made multiple advancements towards joining NATO, but was dismissed, reassuring the worst fears among Russian military branch of government, that they wouldn't be seen as allies.

You should bear in mind that countries are not persons. And their alliances are not mere "friendships". They are slowly moving clumsy structures and the alliances are constraints.

All that is happening today has been predicted long ago and now we are simply "enjoying" the consequences of a long trail of politicians' failures. Politicians that favored short-term populism over long-term global stability, failing to set a vector for these structures that would result in mutual benefit, rather than an expected confrontation.

This is a very good article: it explains each point clearly and also includes clear and appropriate code examples. I personally love using modern CSS as much as possible, as opposed to javascript, since it allows separating the visualization and functionality from each other. Of course using pure CSS can also offer noticeable performance benefits.

The thing the article seems to be missing is an explanation about when not to use CSS. In my experience there's a lot of scenarios which could be solved with pure CSS in theory but in the end will be implemented in javascript.

The first reason is browser compatibility. If older browsers need to be supported (unfortunately IE is not completely dead yet), many CSS based solutions are just not possible.

The second reason is changing requirements and future-proofing. Often only the simplest requirements can be fulfilled with a pure CSS solution. When more requirements are added or the feature needs to be extended in any way, the only possible solution is to just completely scrap the CSS solution and re-implement it in javascript. I feel this happens so often that most web developers just prefer implementing the feature in javascript straight away because they know it will be easier to change later if needed.
HN skews young so unrealistic platitudes make their way into these threads frequently. When these people grow up they may or may not learn that "life is not that simple", depending on their comfort level while growing. Those outside the US and West in general probably already know better than to say things as simple as "Why not just overthrow the government stupid?"
