So interesting. I found the researcher's website: https://www.soundingsoil.ch/en/

There's a page with sound samples on a map: https://www.soundingsoil.ch/en/listen/

I tried finding a page where they described how they created the sensor, or some DIY instructions, maybe it was open, but I couldn't find anything. Only a reference that

> The «Institute for Computer Music and Sound Technology ICST»of the Zurich University of the Arts ZHdK first developed special soil sensors and adapted existing recording devices. This now allows us to listen to the soil and hear the crawling, scratching, communication sounds and eating noises of the animals underground.

The small handful of people have to answer to their constituents and voters are hostile to anything that will raise taxes or lower their quality of life today.

That might change if things get bad enough, but by then it's probably too late for anything but a technological miracle.

Non-democratic countries (like China and Russia) have a better chance of making the changes because there it truly is the case that a small number of people can bring about change.
Interesting. I usually read the articles first, glancing at the ones that look interesting based on the headline and often reading them. Often I clone the tab first so that I can find the post in HN again, but, when I forget, and if I can't go back and find it, I'll copy the URL and search for it -- which brings it up.

Especially when I'm reading `new`, where there usually aren't many comments, reading the article is great and getting back to the post helps so I can vote it up if I like it.
Early stage startups are prevalent on HN, which is the subject at hand.

Also, half of Americans work for small businesses. It is probably best not to optimize labor law for megacorps either.
For Silicon Valley, New York, and Seattle, at least, $150k yearly is below average market value for new grads. (I may even be missing some development centers.) "Salary" may be lower than that, but not total compensation including cash and stock bonuses.
DDoS attacks slow down Citizens' Initiative signing in Finland
The recent dramatic policy shift in Russia has brought out two Citizens' Initiatives in the Finnish government's net portal. Both are about NATO membership in the country which is traditionally militarily non-aligned.

First initiative (open Feb 21) proposes a NATO membership referendum, the other (open Feb 28) proposes that parliament should go ahead to membership procedures without referendum, because of expected Russian harrasment and influence on the referendum procedures.

The government portal for initiatives has been very slow today. The authentication to sign any of the initiatives is done either by a person ID smartcard, or bank-based identification. Most people use the bank authentication (in most cases 2FA using mobile phone) because they don't bother with smart card readers.

The first of the initiatives has already passed the threshold (50 000) which automatically brings it to the table in Parliament. The other initiative has collected 35 000 signatures in 30 hours, meaning it will also pass the threshold tomorrow, despite many people not being able to sign it due to bank connections failing under DDoS.

OP: Given that I'm doing this in a 2D canvas - with no help from web workers, webgl, wasm, etc - I'm quite impressed to get a 10fps output on my local machine.

The reduce-palette filter is good for black-white and grayscale dithering, and can also calculate a commonest colors palette (based on euclidean distance) in the LAB color space.

Edit: I've tested on chrome on desktop. Interested to hear on which devices it doesn't work.
That is true, it would unnecessarily open one up to legal costs from CO, and is a good reason to exclude CO residents from job listings.

It would have been better if the CO pay disclosure laws were simpler and only came into play if applicants are bamboozled, i.e. if they apply for a job and then are offered lower than the minimum advertised.
Apple added non standard ARM extensions to make that possible. It could be done in other arch’s but it doesn’t come for free.

I agree. So many of these studies just seem to test for one type of antibody in a test tube, leaving out other types of antibodies and the rest of the immune system response (which is not fully understood).

I'd like to see more numbers tracking infections across populations through time. Israel has done this with some of their studies.

We'd have a lot more data if we asked every positive case how many shots and/or prior infections they had, and when, and a bit about their masking/lockdown precautions. I don't know if any states or counties are doing this.
I agree with this sentiment. Every company has a budget, they know exactly what range they can and will pay, even if it's a wide range.

Even better, I've encountered some companies who have a "everyone at the same level has the same salary" policy and I think that's most likely a net positive. I would personally like pay to be less about your personal risk factors and negotiating leverage and more about the value you bring to the company.

Here's an incredibly common example: if I am currently employed, I know I can risk losing a job offer by asking for a higher counter-offer. If I am unemployed, I might not want to take that risk. The previously-unemployed worker doesn't bring any more or less value to the company than the one with negotiating leverage.

Companies that have pay equity policies probably have a lower risk of running into discrimination lawsuits, too, so I think it benefits the company to be transparent.

ARM still isn't really competing against Intel/AMD. It took an entirely new form factory that radically changed the consumer landscape for ARM to get a foothold at all. What is RISC-V's smartphone explosion?

ARM has so far, outside of Apple and very limited cloud experiements (and some very badly received laptop experiments), not really put a dent in Intel/AMD's markets. But all of this was fueled by the once-in-a-generation explosion that gave ARM untold increases in adoption "for free". RISC-V has seemingly nothing similar, and RISC-V itself certainly isn't manufacturing any such radical shift.
The rolling stone rolls echoing from rock to rock; but the rolling stone is dead. The moss is silent because the moss is alive. -GKChesterton
I've had a car's price agreed to in writing (which was the full advertised price they had online) and after presenting cash, they refused to honor it. They said if I was paying cash they required me to spend another $3k minimum on a service package. I told the manager, who was forcing this to happen, to fuck off and walked out. Wasted a lot of my time and it was really dishonest. The salesperson later texted me at my personal number to apologize for the manager and said there was a lot of turmoil at the dealership because of those practices.

>The Road to Success Is Paved with Rejection Letters

The same can be said with many things in life we strive for. On the path to those things there will be a lot of rejection and failure, but you need to pick yourself up and try again.
Mostly and I’ve been wondering why. I think there are 2 main components:

1) I know comments loads fast. It’s a crapshoot when a webpage is done loading all its modals and stuff - or if it’s just super slow. HN is fast.

2) I am pretty sure that comments are straight to the point. No scrolling and skimming through paragraphs to find when the part of the article related to the headline begins. No scrolling up and down in an inavigable twitter thread trying to figure out what the hell the context is.

You usually get all this from the first HN pundit explaining everything wrong with the article.
I've grown to liking one liner helper scripts, especially browser bookmarklets that do one thing well, and Linux commands that help with specific problems. Large abstractions built with billions of components scare me these days as they /will/ have security issues and regularly break due to the abstraction.

The UNIX philosophy of one-thing-well is what I live by now. Now and then however, I am required to dive into a large code-base to debug stuff, but it's getting rarer as I've trained myself to avoid large abstractions. It takes discipline doing that, but it can be done.

(I still love building things and sharing with others)
> constant bombing of a sovereign country with the use of weapons with depleted uranium.

You don't "bomb a country" with depleted uranium. That's used for its high density, which gives a lot of kinetic energy to conventional ammunition made out of it: Armour-penetrating shots. Anti-tank ammo, not bombs.
We're a non-profit. Any "VCs" are donating with no expectation of return, and the founders are the ones that bound their hands with the non-profit status in the first place.
Thanks for the suggestion. We added MySQL support so we can work with Matomo now, but we're definitely lacking in documentation and tutorials. There's a similar issue with people using GA4, Snowplow, Segment, and anything else with a pre-defined schema. It should be way easier to use these systems with GrowthBook. Like there's no reason to even write SQL most of the time if we know the Matomo table structure in MySQL. We're hoping to solve that issue in the next few weeks.
We will always have to pay for goods in a fiat currency, so it makes sense for people to value everything relative to fiat. Even trading on a ratio still falls back to “which will be worth more fiat”.

This doesn’t mean that people don’t value crypto, it means they live in the real world.
> Pay commensurate with added value.

In a statement like that they have an idea of what is valuable and what they would be willing to pay for it. Seems like a perfect opportunity to give a salary range.
There's a perhaps apocryphal story that, to avoid motivating programmers to pad out their comments, IBM decided to measure productivity not by number of lines of source code written, but rather by number of bytes of object code generated. And then when a new release of the PL/I compiler came out, management was quite pleased to learn that it had improved everyone's productivity significantly!
The Nintendo switch is a much more compelling device that I can actually see a use case for, but yeah not for me mine also sits unused for more than 2 years now.

One decade ago was 2012.

Chromebooks on ARM have already been out for a year. Windows RT for ARM was coming out later in the year. Smart phones are clearly all going ARM. The 64 bit ARM spec was out and people were excited about it.

I think it was a lot clearer that ARM was going to succeed x86, as compared to looking forwards now as to where RISCV will beat ARM.

I do suspect the microcontroller ecosystem will have lots of RISC-V. But it seems a lot less clear that it will succeed ARM in the mobile/laptop/desktop/server markets. I personally do not think that’ll likely happen any time soon.
Might not reduce the power. I read that austria or so has such a rule, but this only lead to that everybody posting the lowest possible salary for that position with the implicit assumption that the real salary will be different.
I'd have to disagree. The only relationship between the Concurrent DOS which had CPM roots, and the Concurrent DOS-286 (CDOS-286) which became FlexOS was the name 'Concurrent DOS'. i.e. marketing / branding.

That (CDOS-286 / FlexOS) did not eventually become DR DOS, DR-DOS developed from the old CPM-86 based thing. Both were active at the same time. I was using both between 90-97, and for a good portion of that time, both were being updated (though FlexOS moved to Novell ownership).

Otherwise your description of FlexOS is reasonably accurate. The 386 version still had a 286 core, but with some modules replaced, it used the 286 loadable drivers. I was working for a company using it as a (soft) real-time multi tasking OS, with multiple processes running.

The version I used no longer had the DOS support for 286 (it did for 386 - but limited), from the stuff on bitsavers, it looks like that 286 based DOS support was gone after version 1.3.
This is the "gmail fullstop" problem.

This is a massive security oversight and has already made its rounds already.

Xbox accounts have been compromised, but really, anything can, if you own first.last@gmail.com, you better be careful about everything you do.

People who know your email know your name, and can cause services to email you things, using two accounts, one your's the other, not.
Sure. Well some changes are likely to happen in 50 years, especially "cosmetic" ones. But just like USB which now has many form factors, or HTTP with all these added/changed headers, the standard still lives as the king, which is a visionary achievement by itself IMO.
It could also be framed as Texas and Florida aren't in a rush to restrict the freedoms of employers.
But starting a total war and trying decapitate the capital vs local conflicts is completely different.

NATO and US did not fight side by side either(at least for now). They just provide equipment and money. And it's very clear from the start only Putin wanted this war proactively and there is only reaction from the other side.
> Requiring salary ranges would significantly elevate the amount of work that goes into answering the "Who is hiring" question and therefore would reduce the number of postings significantly.

So like ... 30 seconds more of work?

If you know you want/need to hire someone, but you haven't so much as glanced at your numbers to see how much you might need to pay such a person, and you're also legally an adult, it seems to me like you need to have your head examined.

This is dumb, just post a salary range. It's HN, it's just a web forum.
If a company doesn't have clear the positions they are offering, and so, they are more less know how much should they pay. I don't want to apply.
I have applied to so many companies which didn't know very well what they wanted to hire that it was a completely waste of time. I you know how much value the position is going to add to your company you have a clear defined role and a range to spend in that role.
So yes, it will be more difficult for startups, but it will clear some undefined roles that wont be translated into jobs in the future.
Were the CEO, COO, etc. punished at all?
For a Swedish company I would have expected better of them.
So it is far more expensive than the similar bookeen notéa and kobo elipsa which cost 400€.
True, I did not notice that CO required a "good faith" range for the job. Ideally, the law would be that the employer simply has to state a range and then let the market forces dictate the ranges employers advertise. In competitive labor markets, the bottom of the range will naturally rise, and if they do not, then sellers of labor know that it is not a business worth going into.
Equity compensation in a private company is statistically worth nothing to me. I would be very happy to know just the base.
Hmmm, have you had a lot of coworkers move through over the last five years? Following one of them to a new place is probably the easiest way to change jobs and build your resume.
Not necessarily, you can use steam on a Mac and it runs natively, you can also use it with parallels with virtualized windows, or you could've owned a PC and accumulated steam games at one point in your life and then moved over to the mac ecosphere. There are plenty of use cases where you may have a steam library and not have a PC... you're just not looking very hard.
This wouldn't really be pro/rel, not as it's implemented in European football anyway. It's a single league where entry into the lucrative year-end tournament is partly based on long-term (3- or 5-year) performance, whereas now it is only short-term (1-year).

It just shows you're growing in your skills, I think there's very few people can look back at code they wrote even last week and not see where it could be improved.

I'd keep it as a record of your progress and just mark it as a toy project/not ready for production etc.
This is just not true. Cars are waaay more durable than your assumption.

I've never had an issue buying used (2-4 years old) cars from dealers. They've always been essentially like new. On top of that I have failed to do routine maintenance as scheduled. I usually do oil changes about every 10k because you really don't need to do it as often as they say.

That said... I've now had 3 cars that I bought around 30,000 miles and put over 100k miles on without any major maintenance. Just tires, brakes filters, and fluids. Maybe some weird one off thing, for example a little plastic gear in my steering system on my 2010 Hyundai recently broke and cost $500 to replace (@ 140,000 miles on the odo).
Well, depends on how big your pot of water is of course. I tend to make smaller amounts, generally one or two servings.
I think the biggest problem with baseball is you can buy your way to greatness. Not always mind you, but teams with seemingly unlimited payrolls like the Dodgers, Giants, Phillies, Yankees have a huge advantage over smaller market teams in terms of attracting top talent and they are perennially "in the hunt" which makes the chances of smaller franchises all the more smaller. I know they implement revenue sharing to the smaller teams but restricting the top teams salary would make for a more compelling product.

Compare that to NFL football which has a very restrictive salary cap and you get a scenario where any team in 1-2 years despite how bad they are in a given year with great coaching and a smart draft can get to the superbowl or win it all(see this years Cincinnati Bengals, or last years Buccaneers).
Personally, I really miss the menu background contrast - if something is a floating sidebar please give it a modestly different background content so that it looks like the box-o-stuff it acts like.
You're not really allowed to mention this, nor are you allowed to note that the current Ukraine government is an illegitimate installation by FVEY IC in 2014, after the democratically elected one was overthrown. Also best not to point out that very large contingents of the defenders are actual literal Nazis.

Our marching orders from our media betters are to uncritically root for Ukraine, so that's what we'll do.
How easy is it to make a postgres instance installed on a VPS open to the world so that various applications installed on other machines can interact with it?
How do they prove "willingness"? Like if you put $100K-$700K, but you just don't have any employees that are good enough for $700K, how would you prove you're nevertheless willing to hire someone (the right person) at that salary?

Also, what about the converse - what if the range is actually wider? Does anything prevent them from putting something narrower?
I suspect that the nature of the DOM means that being able to do that in the first place would actually require a virtual DOM w/diffing assuming you're targeting browsers.

However that's probably obvious, so: Assuming you're considering greenfield / blue sky thinking here, it's worth noting that v8 has had so much money and engineering hours sunk into it that the react-ish pseudocode probably doesn't make nearly as many allocations as a naive reading of the code might expect.

(a good friend of mine was very surprised to discover that v8's JIT is good enough that naive javascript code was basically competitive with FFI-ing out to C++ just because the node FFI layer introduced sufficient overhead that the JIT managed to catch up ... I am not a compiler wonk so please don't take this as a remotely expert pronouncement but "it is, in fact, quite difficult to overestimate v8 these days" seems to be a solid heuristic)
