my middle manager at Apple Inc in California purposefully instilled distrust between members of his group. It gave him control and he would do it repeatedly over different situations. At the same time, there was this vague message that if you wrote patent applications, you could possibly maybe be promoted, with a bonus, but there was no time allocated to do that. 1990s
>I'm still not sure renters really have a reasonable expectation of privacy when the place they are living in is listed for rent or sale by someone else

In some EU countries they do. The landlord need to ask permission to have visitors at your place and the tenant has the right to refuse.

In my opinion yes.

I learned a hard lesson when I bought a home in Q4 of 2007 at 21 years old. It didn’t help that I was planning to graduate from my undergrad in 2008. As many on HN, I try to learn from my mistakes… however, you can never time the market and I have been saying we are in a bubble since about a year before the pandemic. I live in Northern California if that matters.

Why do I feel this way? The economy has been frothy for a while, it’s been irrational and appears to defy the laws of physics metaphorically speaking of course.

1. When taxi drivers and shoe shiners are giving real estate advice…
2. When a lot of young buyers have reached the age that they don’t remember the last bubble popping.
3. When you’ve been in a bull market for 9+ years
4. When people are buying JPEGs worth more than houses. (I am still bullish on crypto and NFTs, I just feel that we are early in the hype cycle)
5. When housing is viewed as an investment vs. A place to live.
6. When bad companies both private and public are not being held accountable by investors. (I have seen too many startups IPO, that in my opinion probably shouldn’t have been able to do so.)

Some other things I track, but am not going to look into for this comment are the following;

- how is 3M doing? As they are a supplier to many finished goods, if 3M isn’t doing well, perhaps it is an signal that there is a reckoning in the future. (I worked at 3M in 2008 and remember when the international markets stopped ordering products)

- I also look at some products like RV sales, its a luxury good, I don’t know if this is as strong of an indicator today of a future recession, due to remote work and the rise of vanlife, but if you can think of similar goods that share these qualities that might be a good indicator, luxury good, sales price between $10k-$200k, not effected by other trends like wfh.

- The Dallas Fed this we might be in a housing bubble.

https://www.dallasfed.org/research/economics/2022/0329

- Bank of America thinks we are near an economic slow down.

https://fortune.com/2022/04/08/recession-shock-bank-of-ameri...

I’m sure there are other sources, but when high income, educated people struggle to afford things, it makes me think that we might be in a bubble and asset prices need to at the very least correct to create marketplace liquidity.

I would enjoy learning of other obscure market indicators that readers of HN monitor, if you know of one, please reply to this comment.
The main difference I’ve noticed is that I have met people from various walks of life in Europe who literally couldn’t drive (no license) and got around fine.

Only in New York have I met someone like that here; even those who majority took public transit had cars or at least a license.

> The rules of film-making dictate that music documentaries require the artists’ consent.

Whose rule is this?
I can't comment on small towns, but I live in a medium-ish size place of around 100k people though it really depends how far you're going. If you're going just a few (<10) km then cars would be a bit faster.

On Google maps I see that it takes 9 minutes to a store 6km away by car. It takes 36 minutes by public transport, however it takes only 20 minutes by bike (almost everyone has a bike here). However a lot of roads are bike-only or similar (esp in parts of the city centre), which (imo) makes it super frustrating to drive.

On longer distances yes cars do get much faster. Amsterdam to Rotterdam by car is 52 mins (74km), vs 1hr18min by train, however this was station to station. Once you add the time to go from the station to your destination it's often longer.

Edit - re:costs, it feels moderately expensive to me as an Indian. It's €5.4 from Rotterdam to Den Haag (Hague) station, which is 21km by road (20 min by road, 30 min by train). You get 20-30% off passes for monthly use I believe, though that's only useful if you use it a lot.

> is not a law it's a referendum that most likely will never be adopted as it's illegal

It reflects a political environment that makes renting risky. And illegal laws can still cause hardship while they're being stayed and struck down. The corporate landlords can afford to fight. Single-home landlords cannot. This time the referendum constrained itself to corporate landlords; next time it may not.
I've lived extensively in most population densities available in the US. When you are in a very dense environment like Manhattan, people simply don't buy quantities that large from local stores, and the vast majority of apartments don't have the storage space to accommodate for the giant sized quantities that suburbanites buy at Costco every day. The end result is that living in Manhattan, Brooklyn, western Queens etc., you're basically walking every day down to local stores and lugging relatively small bags back. People in the city tend to be pretty trim and fit as a result.

I currently live in a rural-density zoned part of the US, and the car is basically the only access one has to virtually anything. Businesses here can pretty confidently state that close to 100% of their customer base arrives by car.
Quillnote: Markdown notes, tasks, and reminders for Android
Best thing about living in older European cities is they don't have this stupid zoning, they mixed commercial and housing because that's how people chose to live before planners got invented after ww2. Now planners are patting themselves on the back for recently inventing the 20 minute community, Which is exactly the same thing. My one major thing I want in life is to never ever live in a suburban development with zero to do except drive to places.
Wow. The manufactured consent generating machine is still working as expected.

Most Americans have a bike in the garage, but that certainly doesn’t make us the Netherlands.

I would be curious to see what the usage patterns are. A quick google shows that the average mileage for Europeans is around 7k, while the average American drives 12k. So it would seem that Europeans drive about 60% less despite the same access to vehicles…
His system causes pain for the present and future. It is a system we know and have rejected. Another system may be worse but accepting his system assures pain for all now and in the future.
Is there any chance you can expand on the reasoning behind the circular/coaxial designed transistors? The normal sorta logic style transistors are straight forward, and the serpentine nature of the high current transistors makes sense for the surface area, but I never understood the reasoning for the round transistors.
Issue is that India started new trade with Russia, it is not dependent on it (like Europe, I don't know what the heck US is doing), they just jumped on opportunity.
And Europe works hard on stopping that, but it is a bit hard to stop e.g. gas import if your own supply won't be able to heat people homes (it is not India, in Europe we are just starting spring, but still temperatures can hit freezing point).

I didn't know about Greece, I was wondering how in the world was Russia transporting that oil and wheat.
Fwiw, UAW has recently had a major shake up, where the corrupt leadership of the overall union just got prosecuted, and actual one person one vote is being voted on, so I expect you (and I) caught them at the worst possible time. I'm definitely more weary of large cross sectoral unions than before my time at UC though.
I live in Oakland. You'll find Oakland to be more walkable than the rest of the bay area (although you'll get robbed by the end of your walk, but that's not the point here). A rather strange concoction of terrible local politics, great food, crime through the roof, homelessness everywhere, distorted views of the rest of the world and even the rest of the bay area, very smart people working on great ideas, very smart people on ideological crusade, deep history of multiculturalism and great beer.

Oh, and potholes. I feel like it is a secret plot by the city to punish car owners.
Off topic, but I have never seen the "kerb" spelling before.

That's because you are in the wrong forum. I would think that there are forums out there where unpopular or less common opinions are the norm. Your original point is still true, far less people care less about their freedom, welcome to life.
AKA Treason
While it's not particularly widespread, there are places in the US where grad students have been unionized for decades. The Universities of Michigan and Wisconsin are two of the oldest, dating from the 70s iirc. As a grad student falling under the collective bargaining agreement for the University of Michigan, I feel pretty good about it. Not only do they pay us pretty well and give good healthcare, but the union has been essential in making the administration set up better-than-average covid policies, like free asymptomatic testing and non-retaliation for choosing to work remotely (sometimes). There are also a ton of corner cases where subpopulations of the grad students have a specific issue, where the union has been a very good advocate.

My manager has been great during covid. He immediately scheduled a daily group meeting for 30 minutes and it made me feel more involved with my staff group than ever. Because we're all so spread out so whenever I visited the HQ I only ever met a few of them.

But our org is so confusing that he has very little to do with my daily tasks, I have other types of managers for that.

This is the correct approach. Cultivate your own garden and ignore the external noise.
I don’t think a lot of research and articles are needed, visiting any European city (or small town) is enough.
I'd just like to add some context:

People seem to be talking about this much more now because of the prominent placement of the r/fuckcars subreddit's parking lot on the r/place canvas.

If the whole fuck-cars premise or really anything about not owning a car, replacing car lanes with bike lane etc, sounds really radical/non-sensical to you, please spend some time on the Not Just Bikes YT channel, read a bit of r/fuckcars or r/lowcars and try to approach this with an open mind.

I come from a rural European area, so some of the stuff these people say sounded a bit extreme to me, but you have to realize that some US/Canadian cities are absolute hellscapes compared to what we imagine a "city" to look like.

No. But, it is dependent on oil and gas being cheap enough to make basic inputs with. It is a region and country on the brink of poverty in many ways. What did you expect?

1km is a good distance for walking, but you can expand it quite a bit if you have good bike infrastructure and transit. You can bike 5km in 20 minutes at a pretty leisurely pace, which I would gladly do for a good restaurant or specialty store.
Not necessarily; I myself and a lot of my friends in academia are here because we really do care about the research we are doing, and believe what we are doing here is really going to impact society in 10-20 years in the future. I'm sure there are some people here who are only doing a Ph.D. to get a better job afterwards. But at least for myself I know I rejected a job that has a 5x base salary (even without counting the RSU) because I really believed in what I wanted to do. If you take the opportunity cost in account, it really doesn't make sense in 100% of the cases to get a Ph.D. first to just go into the "better jobs" in industry afterwards.
You save a lot of money buying those larger quantities.

Agree, and let's also remember that these are wholly voluntary situations. Unchecked power is a pretty big charge in a situation where the student can (Yes, at a cost) always walk away.
I don't see a problem in trade with Russia. We certainly don't have the moral high ground, also trade is good for peace and living standards.
Just curious, where in Europe is the nearest grocery store 90 min away?
The reason various entities wanted it codified in law was because regardless of what labour with actual negotiating power and businesses with the ethics and margins to not demand absurdly high workweeks wanted, millions of workers didn't have much choice.

When child labour was legal, lots of children worked.
What's worse, is if you happen to hire a great engineer, you have to keep the pay raises and bonuses coming to that star engineer. Otherwise, he'll move on and take the %30 pay raise with a new job.

That's interesting, I wasn't aware of "navigator.sendBeacon" before.

Question about the user script. Blocking WebSockets I can understand as they can be used for exfiltrating data you don't want them to get a hold of. But why disable WASM? It can't be used for exfiltrating, and disabling it probably gives them a stronger data-point than just leaving it on, for when they are able to exfiltrate data (via CSS HTTP requests for example).
A developer would only build a parking-free building if there are people in the area who want to live without cars. Otherwise it would be a financial disaster for them.
Exactly, it's not about being literally unconstrained, but a lot of biology PhD programs turn into "follow my advisor's weekly (sometimes even daily) instructions to the letter". This can be very demoralizing and it is concerning for the development of future PIs as well.

In addition to micro-management of the thesis project, there's also consideration of outside academic activities. Many students end up spending 50+ hours per week on the work their advisor designed. This leaves little time for the student to explore learning new skills that might be relevant to them - for example programming tutorials, a reading group in a different subfield, mentoring an undergrad project, communicating with the general public, etc.

Obviously there is not time for every PhD to involve all of those things, but currently it is much too restricted. For some people to the point that their advisor forbids them from taking a night class or whatever despite the fact it is outside the (already overtime) working hours of the lab. Research may indeed be the priority, but entirely ignoring other parts of the academic role has not gotten us anywhere good.

What it boils down to is that part of the compensation of the PhD is supposed to be training. Yet as it stands many students are treated as only employees, with no regard to teaching them to become a better researcher and no time allowed for their own personal/career development activities.

Students are being lied to for sure (at least in certain fields/locations). But the solution is not to just be blatantly honest about what PhD currently entails. Part of the shift also needs to be a return to considering the PhD as an important piece of the training for becoming an academic.
As a former UC grad student, thank you for your labor.

I would have more respect for this arguments, if they acknowledge they are leaving humankind future to a gamble.

I think most of my users (and myself) would like to continue being able to use Gmail search, so I'd probably move all my domains to my single-user paid Google Workspace account (or maybe to Cloudflare email forwarding), set up forwarding/catchall rules for them, and forward them to personal Gmail addresses.

Still hoping that Google launches a family plan that has custom domains. I think around $5/month for up to 5 users would be fabulous.
>> Have you heard of the Great Resignation?

Isn’t the Great Resignation driven at least in part by the government’s influence? COVID lockdowns and regulations heavily incentivized employers to offer more flexibility around remote work, and COVID economic relief policies helped provide folks with the financial stability needed to look for better employment. I’m not sure this would have occurred organically without any government intervention.
Show HN: Dev Toolbox – A browser extension with simple offline dev tools
Hello HN!

I'd like to share a browser extension I made that provides quick offline access to various development tools.

Current tool set: Calculate hashes; encode and decode HTML, URI, Base64; convert numbers between different bases; parse and manipulate various time formats; format and inspect IPv4/CIDR addresses; search all v13.1 emoji with quick copying in various formats.

It runs entirely offline, making no external requests (even emoji PNG files are bundled), and only requires local storage permission to remember your last tab and input.

This was inspired by an old extension called Hasher (no longer on the Chrome Store) that provided a simple interface to similar utilities. This was an opportunity to get back into making extensions, practice with Vue a bit, and expand upon the original idea.

It's available for Chrome, Edge (via Chrome Store), and Firefox; links and screenshots are on GitHub, where you can also report any problems. Feedback and suggestions are very welcome. Thanks!

There are two possibilities as far as I can tell.

1) Facebook was kayfabing it up when they complained about these measures and already knew they’d be able to route around them via fingerprinting.

2) While not capable of fully blocking tracking, Apple put more of a dent in trackers’ ability to function — at least temporarily — than articles like this would lead you to believe.
> Certainly, for the vast majority of people I've ever known, getting a spot at Oxbridge not only was not 'extremely important' - it wasn't even a consideration.

Having spent a bunch of time working with people on these particular universities' access programs (where they essentially spend a lot of time and money encouraging more people to apply, especially from disadvantaged backgrounds), this "consideration" is often a deeply ingrained bias in the school teaching staff.

There are large numbers of students who are both good enough to go to Oxbridge and would thrive there, who aren't getting that opportunity because their teachers have already decided it's "not for them".
