This is their checklist [1]:

• can you afford to lose all the money you invest?

• are you ready to take on high risks to earn the advertised returns?

• do you understand the features of the crypto-asset or related products and services?

• are the firms/parties you are dealing with reputable?

• are the firms/parties you are dealing with blacklisted by the relevant national authorities?

• are you able to protect effectively the devices you use for buying, storing or transferring crypto-assets, including your private keys?

Pretty basic for those in-the-know but useful for new investors lured in by easy money.

This is mostly my experience. Text looks great on macOS as long as you're on a hi-dpi display, otherwise it looks like garbage.

For a long time linux was painful - but having bit the bullet and moved to wayland, I'm pretty thrilled at how nicely both standard res and hi-dpi screens look there.

I don't really mind windows either way - it's not the prettiest, but it remains fairly readable at most scales.
Maybe. 800 kilowatts means there would be nothing left. I'm sure that there's some industrial- or factory-grade microwaves that are 800 kW.

> People familiar with the investigation said prosecutors had examined emails between Mr. Biden, Mr. Archer and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity. Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation. [1]

This is the alleged confirmation. No new information on the source of the emails, just reference to the original allegations from October 2020. Circular confirmation, the ol' Murdoch special.

We don't know the long term effects of any invention, but...

At least we <<think>> of them and <<plan>> for them now.

Some stuff we can analyze based on similar materials, technologies, and we can extrapolate. We can even design tests to age them and see what happens.

There's a reason everything is more complex these days, because we're starting to add a magic word to everything: <<sustainability>> (i.e.: does it kill us directly or or does it kill the environment around us, ergo killing us indirectly?).

Ignoring this aspect would mean that we assume humans never learn, which is provably false.
I think it’s simply unlikely because debt is always preferable to a life threatening emergency.

All that said, there are a number of really good email validators out there in the wild.

One of the oldest can be found at http://isemail.info/about, (along with a test suite to write your own implementation and some sage advice about the basic approaches it's reasonable to take when validating email addresses).

Yes, dependencies aren't completely free conceptually, even when they're distributed free of charge, but why write a crappy validator of your own when there are really good ones available?
I'd recommend the TV-show "show me a hero" for an interesting take on this stereotype.
The show is about a town that started of with 'concentrated public housing' with these kinds of problems. Then by court mandate they need to move public housing into the rich neighborhoods. The city hires an expert who suggests a few small locations to help the neighborhood integrate.

Most of this show is about the political fallout of this situation. Because a majority of the residents of the town did _not_ want any low income housing.

The show is fictional, but based on a real story and a real town where this happened.

I think that market segmentation is different than personas. Personas are who is going to use, buy or otherwise interact with your product.

Market segmentation is which features and offerings apply to which buyers and what can you charge them. I don't have a great reference, though. So here's a grab bag:

Patio11 talking about segmentation w/r/t SSO: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1481293027331440640.html

Here's a non-tech focused piece on market segmentation: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/marketsegmentation.asp

This article seems to cover the basics: https://www.albertocarniel.com/post/market-segmentation

I like the folks at Reifyworks for all their developer marketing writing: https://www.reifyworks.com/writing but they don't cover segmentation directly that I can find.

Losing your streak on a word guessing game because you didn’t know a word seems like a perfectly reasonable thing.

Arguably, the possibility of this happening is what makes streaks have meaning and is the essence of the game.

Ah, but perhaps in this encoding scheme the first H is implicit, and a leading T is encoded as _T. Half the time this results in an infinity increase in bytes saved!
Yeah, it is sad and an unintended consequence of a global economy. My girlfriend has 17 acres in upstate NY with 300+ ash. They are all slowly dying, losing their bark and blowing down in storms. Most are standing dead and don't even have much value as timber.
It is less leverage than you might think. Samsung once threatened to switch their Phones to Tizen, Huawei is building out Harmony OS and all the Chinese OEM’s make hard forks of Android for that market since Google Play Services are illegal in China.
A big part of why you would use Android is the price (free) and convenience (already built). Once you need to pay for it or put in extra development cycles the choice is less clear. Google really can’t just bend OEMs to its Will like that.
Cooking food by frying or grilling is probably much more of a health risk, not accounting for food being heated in plastic packaging.

I suspect we all broadly agree here. Your point just feels...not irrelevant, but...odd.

It's not that there are two types of homeless people, and people are one or the other. The "visible homeless" are a progression from the invisible, semi/temporarily homeless.

I've known people who started down the path of homelessness (and one who spent some time in that state and got out). Poverty in general, and housing instability are two causes of that transition.

If you can afford rent, afford basic comforts and stability, maintain health coverage and afford healthcare, you're not going to suddenly jump into sleeping under a highway and raving at pedestrians. There's a long journey to that state. We want to prevent that initial slide into temporary homelessness that precedes long-term homelessness, and all the issues that frequently arise with it.

When the ship is sinking, and someone says "we need to plug the hole", you don't respond with "No, bail harder!" Sure, bail harder, but the issue isn't that the people trying to plug the hole are missing the core issue.
> Except that C defines the way nearly everything everywhere passes function parameters over registers.

I don't think that that is correct. Sure, your C implementation defines which params go into which register in a certain way, but other C implementations define the same thing in a different way.
Show HN: Parsers VC – Real-time tracking Venture Capital data provider
Parsers VC collects data on startups, investors, and venture capital firms in real time. The databases are updated every 24 hours.

It's very simple: Parsers VC installs its trackers on the venture capital funds' websites (namely the startup, team, and news sections) and automatically collects all updates. The data is also obtained from social networks and news sites. Thus, there is no need to wait for the startup or venture capital firm itself to update the information on the aggregator site, all updates appear by themselves.

Was this post taken down? I get a generic “coming soon” page when I click through it.
I think a useful rephrasing of this: base-level, meets-code work gets you a guaranteed market. Work above that level doesn't do well on resale, so you do it if you have a buyer up front; home owners, in turn, only do that work if they're planning to stick around a while (and even then, only certain people.)
You know, in normal circumstances that quote would be terrifying but I think I would have some minor relief if my only option for my issue has at least some experience!
I'm the author of PhotoStructure. I started working on it to clean up the digital mess I had accumulated due to failed/cancelled photo management software, not to replace Google Photos:

https://photostructure.com/about/introducing-photostructure/

Since then, I've been working on improving deduplication, scaling to very large libraries, and whittling away at the feature list my users and I collaborate on. I keep detailed release notes here: https://photostructure.com/about/release-notes/

Replacing at least the organization and sharing aspects of Google Photos is now my top priority. Improving search (with geo and faces and ML object labelling) is my next.

That's why I call it "Additional information for ..." and links to wikipedia (not yet blocked in those countries, I guess). It is the same Apache2 license.

Yep. I hope they post an aws style postmortem… this is kinda ridiculous (although I do empathize as an ops person). Webhooks breaking broke all of our pr bots bringing development to a standstill yesterday; today everything seems f’d.

£100k London as a single person could definitely buy a flat somewhere. Maybe not a great area but it's doable.

A house with a garden, kids, private school etc. 100k won't cut it unfortunately.

For some reason I thought FAANGs in London were paid really well but seems like contracting or finance is the only way to get a reasonable income.

I have a buddy who was working for a DeepMind and now works for Google (UK). His salary is £140k.
Meanwhile day rates of £600 per day are pretty standard and pay the same for arguably less hassle.
I do hope it will be as you say it will be. I would be very interested in such an examination.
+1 I agree that user feedback/ideas on improvements and simply knowing what other people value is a key thing, at least for me.

My open source projects consist of about 70 GitHub repos for things that interested me. For things that really interest me, I work them into my free (optionally people can pay me) eBooks[1]. Sometimes readers make really good suggestions for improvements which I very much appreciate. I also use the fraction of books voluntarily paid for as a key signal of what people value so I tend to expand those books with new examples and material. BTW, off topic, but I am starting a long process of converting all of my eBooks to a very permissive Creative Commons license so the material can be re-purposed, even commercially, by other people of companies.

Show HN: Knock – Notification Infrastructure for Developers
Hey HN! I’m Chris – one of the co-founders at Knock (https://knock.app).

Knock is notifications infrastructure for developers. We provide a set of flexible API primitives you can use to power complex notification systems, without having to roll your own notifications infrastructure in-house. In short: we built notifications so you don’t have to.

We learned about scaling notifications systems the hard way. Previously, my co-founder and I worked together at Frame.io, where we saw the upside of product notifications as well as the pain involved in building and maintaining them. With Knock, we’re building the product we wish we had then.

Knock gives you:

- Faster time to market. Our customers have used Knock to ship real-time in-app feeds and 3rd-party chat integrations (Slack, Discord, Teams) in under an hour.
- A flexible notification engine. Power use cases such as batched notifications, conditional sends based on read or device status, and per-user preferences.
- A toolkit built for product notifications. Knock comes with isolated environments, versioning, and complete observability from API request, workflow execution, to notifications sent.

We’re excited to share Knock with you today and to get your feedback on what we’ve been building. The best place to start is in our docs (https://docs.knock.app/).

You can learn more about what we’re up to in this Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/samseely/status/1504462708095262724?s=20&t=nIv6QpdMJ-scflu8i1Z2gA.

GA4's IP Anonymization is good but not sufficient. Your IP Address is exposed to Google's servers, and is redacted after collection. Per GDPR, this still counts as Google processing your IP Address.

It is not clear what actually works when you incorporate Consent Mode. I haven't actually found any reports that include the data supposedly collected. I also have some doubts that Consent Mode does not actually require consent (see IP Address concerns above).
I don't consider this a reflection on Azure at all. It's really just a reflection on GitHub under Microsoft's leadership.

I hate that this is flagged. HN's penchant for self-stifling interesting discussions is probably its worst feature.

Does astrology work? Almost certainly not. (Though I will suggest that the position of ONE PARTICULAR STAR could have some measurable effects.)

However, a discussion wherein a community of smart folks use logic and the scientific method to lead someone from a pasture of mysticism to one of rational thinking could be a very interesting discussion indeed. Especially since we seem to be in the middle of a resurgence of unscientific thinking...
