I don't mean to sound crass but is this really a surprise to anyone? I mean Yahoo has been a "dead man walking" for a decade+ in my mind. What did they do successfully? After they lost the search game to Google they stopped doing anything of note (Yahoo Pipes was cool and Flickr I guess, 2 more projects they destroyed/killed off). I think Yahoo News was a thing but I've never heard someone mention it in real life, I assumed it was like the older population still using/paying for AOL.

The writing has been on the wall for way before a private equality group bought them (which should have been a clear sign if somehow you were unaware it was dying). I'm shocked that employees there are "shocked".
"the entrepreneur himself attributed his failed marriages and heart attack to the entrepreneurship"

Of course he did, as it made his enormous wealth seem like the result of great sacrifices.

You see this all the time.

Why do the rich deserve all their money? Because they made such great sacrifices and took all those tremendous risks. It's self-aggrandizement and self-justification.

Low wage workers make sacrifices and take risks just as great (or greater) all the time, but no one is going to pay hundreds of dollars a plate to hear them give a keynote speech humblebragging about how they worked so hard they had 3 heart attacks during their minimum wage jobs (from which they probably got fired for having to miss work), or how their marriages broke up... which happens all the time.

I started adding "reddit" to all my searches in google, cause 99.9% of time all google links point to seo rubbish.

It is absolutely impossible to find anything anymore, I gave up on google for all intents and purposes and use it exclusively as reddit indexer.
all the time!

I -

* track my environment, ranging from actual physical to all host metrics and logs

* write my own music software (effects, instruments)

* write esoteric systems that end up being used for interesting use cases locally

* beer boards, because I like to know what's on tap at home

* database engines, because why not?

it's just a matter of whatever tickles my fancy, from utilities I need, things that differentiate from other sound I hear, to reinventing the wheel to better understand why it's round.
California lawyer quits, claiming Newsom meddled in Activision case
Look at diceware.com for a good way to do that. You can calculate the entropy without "research". I use a simple python script for the purpose, filtering out the words < 7 chars long from /usr/share/dict/words instead of bothering with the official diceware list. Example output: "snored-Hoff-virtue-tab-eroded-Perl's" with estimated 87 bits of entropy. If you write the phrase on a piece of paper and refer to the paper when typing the phrase into a computer, then after a few uses you will remember the phrase without any special memorization effort. At that point you can shred or burn the paper, or possibly record it in an offline encrypted file requiring its own security efforts.

I guess it might seem like a problem if you are the director of software. If you're an engineer then that was four years of solid pay and benefits, probably with a bonus to boot.
Ok, I've replaced that interpretation with the underlying factual description (32MB TLB) and left the OP's word 'bottleneck' in there.

Perhaps there's an interesting discussion to be had about it?
But a due date is the opposite of working together and being flexible. A due date is more often than not imposed on a team because of some fable about how some other team, but especially sales, needs to hook this big deal. And in my long experience, sales is never, ever ready - even if you bust your gut to meet the deadline.

I am surely not the only one here to have finished a death march only to have sales tell me they don’t need it any more. That’s not working together, that’s just putting product and engineering at the bottom of the hierarchy.

The fact is that any non trivial project has many so-called “unknown unknowns” and these needs to be part of the process, or the project will either fail, or cause significant stress, all of which results in poor outcomes for everyone.

> I don't understand how you would work within a team and show up every day saying 'this thing will get done whenever I am done with it, until then, please go away' and expect any kind of meaningful collaboration.

I don’t understand why it is so hard to imagine honest collaboration. Due dates are not a magic bullet, and just because you set a date doesn’t mean it gets done then. We know this because it’s generally more surprising when a team ships on time, than when they don’t. A product simply can’t be shipped until it’s done, and no due date will change that.

Because of this, due dates are simply a bludgeon used to bash over the heads of the people doing the work. They result in high levels of stress, corner cutting, and poor outcomes for everyone, including the business.

There are a ton of ways that you can have meaningful collaboration within and between teams without imposing artificial, top-down deadlines which are of necessity created using imperfect information, and then imposed on the team as law.

One of which is to have a well defined strategy, clear goals, honest collaboration, and delayed decision making. But that requires managers to actually think about and be able to express what they’re doing and why; a set of skills that I’ve found to be in short supply.

Yeah, this is just about communication, full stop. I do the same thing with my partner but I also have ADHD so I genuinely get distracted by something else and forget a lot of the time. When I do remember, I do the right thing and put them away (most of the time). I didn't used to but I make a better effort nowadays

When it was initially brought up I said: "I know it bothers you, but there is something up with my brain where I will know to do it, get distracted and completely forget as if the thought had never entered my mind. However, whenever I do remember, I will." Granted this allows me leeway when I just cannot be bothered but I avoid pushing the envelope and I'm pretty good the majority of the time.

I'd also like to mention that author speaks with such a staggering lack of empathy that I'm willing to bet it was a lot more than just the dishes. I wouldn't confuse cognizance of the issue with having addressed it.

The people I know who have been successful at both simultaneously have extremely rigid boundaries between their business and personal lives, to the point of being different people at work and at home. Even they almost universally eventually discover they're not as available to their children as they thought they were, however. Caveat emptor.
Tunic Is the Game of the Year That No One’s Talking About
This was a BLAST. I did it with my son. Definitely the best and most original inspired-by-wordle game I've come across. In many way deeper than wordle because it it requires parsing language, facts, etc. Well done! We'll be back tomorrow. (brag: got it in 39 guesses)
None of these have I ever needed in my previous life as a country boy.

Most of my tooling was petroleum, and I had no back problems. I will be the first to admit that maneuvers in tight spaces was definitely a learn by fire trial.
The title is somewhat overstatement, EPA says turbines have efficiencies up to 90%: "Multistage (moderate to high pressure ratio) steam turbines have thermodynamic efficiencies that vary from 65 percent for very small (under 1,000 kW) units to over 90 percent for large industrial and utility sized units. Small, single stage steam turbines can have efficiencies as low as 40 percent."

> Malware, in particular, is a non-issue mainly because people writing malware don't bother targeting it.

This always struck me as a weird argument in a world where the vast majority of web servers - particularly high-profile ones - run Linux. It's gotten even weirder in a world where smartphones, routers, smart speakers, and smart TVs all have largely converged on Linux or something derived from it.

I highly recommend a basic XLR interface/mic combo.

These connect via usb and along with improved sound quality give physical volume and mute buttons.

Internal mics can then usually be disconnected from the motherboard if comfortable working inside a computer.

It shouldn't cost more than $100-200 to get started.

Why trust an open mic any more than an open webcam?
> I would say rather that HN readers are blinded by their own technical abilities, so much so that they think they are right when it comes to social or economic ones.

I agree with you on that. Never mind the money laundering, the criminal extortion, the unfettered grift, the ponzi schemes, the lack of regulation, smart contracts which aren't, securities sold in exchanges that aren't secure, the gross misappropriation of other's work making profit in NFT's as genius level crypto godhood, and the never ending supply of pretzel logic to convince others that while 90% of it is all shit, the 10% that isn't justifies crypto's entire existence.

Is that because they're blinded by their own technical abilities? Or do they realize its all a fraud as well and trying to make a quick buck before the regulator's swoop in?

I don't see you addressing this in your post, so I thought I'd ask.
You mentioned that the stops are identical, but then you said that the phone photos are noisier at the same ISO. You didn't mention this, but there will also be a deeper focus plane. So they aren't identical -- at least under the sense of the word "identical" that's useful to me. You need to use a much slower shutter to get the same noise level. Or a much faster aperture at the same shutter speed.

That difference is exactly what I'm talking about. You'll generally find that a cell phone photo has about the same noise once if you divide the ISO by the square of the relative crop factor (and set exposure accordingly). Coincidentally, you also need to use an aperture that's faster by the relative crop factor to get the same level of background blur.
>Is it a violation of Country B's autonomy for me to decide to not to trade with them because they are trading with country A?

Yes.

>am I violating the autonomy for all of those countries?

Yes.

The clearer example would be imagine country A attacked me, would refusing to trade with country B violate their autonomy? And the answer is still yes, but both country A and B are already violating your autonomy so it's a justifiable violation.

With your example, I wouldn't say producing weapons clearly violated your autonomy, but that's a completely different argument.
This is closer to my experience than your parent, fwiw. Though I have done job searches myself rather than going with inbound outreach from my network.

My recent job search was more like 8 -> 5 -> 3 rather than the 100 -> 10 -> 1 in the parent comment.
Wasn't there just an article about how horizontal services get eaten away by focused rivals once a market has been identified? [1] Like Indeed doing job search better than Craiglist.

I wonder if Google isn't ripe for that sort of competitor. I can think of a bunch of verticals that could easily get their own dedicated search site, including cooking. Bing and others are trying to beat Google in generic search, and it'll never happen because Google defines what that means, and it's a moving target.

I'm wondering why Google hasn't done this themselves? Whitelist a bunch of decent websites and give the search page a fun URL like "Cookle".

Why are you trying to win an argument against something that was quite literally invented to benefit you, me and everyone else.

I'm not trying to win an argument either, I only respond with witty remarks such as grandparent (in the vein of you'll see) to people like you.

I'm not going to argue any of your points.

Just get on with the times man, this is the future.
Well, here's your problem. You didn't graduate from MIT or Stanford, and you're obviously not grinding leetcode, studying for and taking certification exams, boning up on your brain teasers, or doing mock interviews so you know what to expect, nor are you willing to work for free this early in your career. All of this means you're not really serious about working in the field. Unless you can prove your intelligence and passion, you present a risk to employers. Bad hires are costly.

I'm being heavily sarcastic, but that's just how the game is played now. You have to commit to the full-time job of getting a job, otherwise you will be gatekept out.

The problem with software-controlled permissions is that nation-state actors (who have unbounded resources) can snoop on your private matters with significantly greater ease.

At least with a hardware switch, someone would have to physically intercept the air waves in the room you're in. In software, the surface for OS-level vulnerabilities is massive, and state sponsored mass surveillance just gets easier.

Sadly, this is a trade-off we have made as a society for "ergonomics".
Theoretically, maybe. But I'm tempted to believe that for all practical purposes it's a 60+ chars password.
I'm immediately suspicious because of the inclusion of cooking. Google's cooking results aren't bad because Google is bad at cooking content; they're bad because Google is giving people what they actually want, which is lifestyle content. Most people searching for cassoulet aren't actually looking to make a cassoulet; they just enjoy reading about it.

I say this as someone who is ultra-annoyed at the state of cooking results on Google (I want to make the cassoulet!). But there probably aren't enough of me to sustain a product --- and I'm not sure I'd even like that product, because even if Google gave me the most useful practitioner content it could, it still wouldn't be meaningfully curated. I can get recipes for anything from sites like Epicurious, but I'd sooner search for code tips on Expert Sex Change than try an Epicurious recipe. That's what Food52 and Serious Eats are for.

Similarly, programming is a weird callout here. I've never heard of the code search engine they mention ("Neeva"?) and, if that name comes up a week from now, I still won't have heard of it. Stack Overflow solved this problem pretty decisively, and they did it with a Google-first strategy, which is the reason the first example code search in this article has strong Stack Overflow results at the top of the SERP.
There is a big difference between working together to achieve some desirable outcome, versus setting some artificial deadline and using it to hit people over the head when they don’t reach it.

I’ve worked on far too many projects where a deadline has been set, and me and my team have busted our asses - and sometimes been forced to cut a bunch of corners - only for the rest of the project to drop the ball.

That’s why due dates are lazy. It’s much easier for a manager to say “do it in 8 weeks” than it is for them to communicate strategy, set intermediate goals, monitor progress, and adapt to change.
I’m fine with making changes, but paper straws are just a bad product. They have one job to do, and they don’t do it. If you’re going to get rid of plastic straws, at least replace them with something that accomplishes the goal.

Seems this is US-only usage, maybe it's not universal there, for me in the UK pocket money has all the connotations of childhood, I'd only use it to be deliberately patronising, it's like a full reversal where allowance makes me think of a meal allowance from work etc.
Yes, most places in the Pacific aren't islands.
I'm very curious to take a look at this. Built something similar a few years ago because none of the tax software sufficient accomplished what I needed. Mine takes a list of transactions + transfers, and allows me to audit the balance in each wallet (to spot check and make sure I didn't miss anything). It creates csv exports that I feed into bitcoin.tax and use for tax lot selection.

I'd like to update it to handle optimized tax lot selection, so I'm curious to see how you built that part. Longer term I'd like it to automatically import transactions for me, but haven't made it that far.
It's that "ca-cowards" or "caco-(a)wards"?
It could also be for background noise suppression when unmuted. This isn't a giant privacy concern, just be clear about what the mute button actual does for all the privacy people. Generally, when I'm on a Zoom call, I'm not expecting ridiculously high privacy, and expect my recipient and the service to have access to the conversation. If not, I would use Session.

> Technology does not solve social or economic problems.

Never said that it did. Only that HN'ers suffer from a kind of overconfidence of other aspects of this world because they are used to being right on technical things.

> How are we using Bitcoin? As a ponzi scheme where the earliest of investors win by bringing more people in.

The US dollar fits a better definition of a ponzi scheme, its just a different kind of pyramid. The closer you are to the regulatory environment, the more disproportionate your gains. Bitcoin will store value better than the dollar. Doesn't matter if you're "late" or "early". So its not a system that favors those who got in early, its a system that favors everyone who uses it.

> How are we using Blockchains (specifically NFTs)? Outright fraud.

Lets not discuss nft's or other cryptos. Only bitcoin.

> Ponzi schemes and fraud won't solve our social or economic woes. What few good things Bitcoin and the blockchain ever provided has been completely overwhelmed by the crap.

Again lets not talk nft's or other cryptos. Only bitcoin.

> As a result, governments are going to crack down on these technologies hard. They've already started by taxing these virtual currencies the same way they do stocks.

Thank goodness. Regulations and legislature is necessary for this emerging market. We need to work with it, not against it.

This is why I told my manager I was going to leave the team; it was time to kick off the vision for and start executing on a new project, and telling my manager I wasn't the right person to own that seemed like the right call.
