Thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is outraged about this. This has little if not zero to with Russia and more about the current administration's horrific economic and fiscal policies.

Just last week they extended the delay on student loan debt repayment? Why in heck? That leaves more money in people's pockets to go out and buy and spend. Let's stop with this Covid charade of outlandish government spending on programs that we don't need. In reality Covid is a prop to push through liberal fiscal policies.

Another example; the current administration pushing hard for Union's at Amazon and Tesla. Once again, rising wages is not the policy that helps reduce inflation. It's literally econ 101; "to make up for the increase in cost, companies must charge more for their goods and services to maintain the same level of profitability."
You must have been running some damn cheap or old or faulty hardware because that is an insane amount of hardware maintenance.
Great. And what is the frequency and ratio of their mentioning unions and unions _EVIL_?

What else could you do?

Once you've locked down your reports, there's nothing really actionable to do. If you've got evidence of actual stuff going on, maybe figure out if you can get enhanced security at your banks, so it's harder for someone with your information to 'recover' your account, but SSNs are more or less public information at this point.
Thanks! We don't pay for any of our current datasets. Certain types of data we will eventually have to pay for (e.g., deep options data, short interest). We'll eventually onboard some of these as we see interest, but for now we're optimizing for publicly available but disparate datasets.

No, I think they’re just an underused feature. I’m building one.
It actually was worse than covid for me (which I got back in November right after I got my booster), but overall it wasn't that horrible, apart from the temporary loss of smell and taste.
I agree. I suspect someone at Pebble did that on purpose because I asked specifically about this during their kickstarter and they declined to change their wording.
How is min wage the only thing that you are comparing against here?
That’s cool. Do you have any examples of doing real-time media streaming? I guess pion is just the transport layer; so you need a separate media library?
I mean we pretty objectively know that they are at this point.
I tried to be intentionally conservative, but I agree there’s an argument for it to be higher. As someone who watches markets a decent amount, 3% seems far more likely to be in clear reaction to some event, or a continuation of a recent major trend.

To be clear I’m referring to the whole market, not a move in a single stock.

Unions are a mechanism for power, and anywhere there's power there will be those who would abuse it.

But, without unions the employer has a near-monopoly on the power in the relationship. I think it's generally an improvement to have two sources of power competing with each other - even if both are imperfect - instead of one source of power that's unilateral and unchecked.
I'm not so sure about the wage, but the working conditions are inhumane according to all what I read (obviously I haven't worked there myself). The dirty tricks they use to hinder unionization just confirm my impression.
No. Social acceptability aside, I know my instinctive response is often clearly, demonstrably wrong, to the point of clashing with simple facts. It's worth noticing your first reaction, but maybe so you can figure out where your subconscious is getting such nonsense.
Gravityloss says >"For USA though the excess deaths number is 17% so that model doesn't make sense at all."<

A significant proportion of people in the USA have problems with their blood sugar levels. North Americans eat too much, eat the wrong foods and don't exercise. They tend to suffer from blood-sugar disorders (which then cause cancer and, well, everything).

Blood-sugar disorders are so varied in their symptoms as to exhaust listing here. People so affected are best described metaphorically as "human shipwrecks". New York Times had an excellent series on diabetes years ago:

https://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/09/nyregion/nyregionspecial5...

Skip to the section "Shortages and Shipwrecks", read it and weep: this was years before Covid and we had an epidemic that nobody was paying attention to. Covid is leaving and we still have a diabetes epidemic.
With Surfshark, an assortment of (mostly) European locations - e.g. Germany, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Switzerland. When things were slow, the choice of exit location didn't seem to make much difference - tho' sometimes I needed to cycle through to find one that worked at all.

With Mullvad, a similar choice of locations - again, it doesn't seem to matter, but in a good way.

The UI we have is somewhat awkward, but this has also been supported for a while in our Orchid app (to the point where I have been actually working on another app designed to surface this one feature better, but that isn't out yet), supporting arbitrarily deep tunnels across multiple WireGuard (or OpenVPN, even going back/forth between them) providers (unlike this, which seems to just be "two hops, both from Mullvad").
This article contains the phrase "an ingenious spreadsheet system devised by my colleague", which sent shivers down my spine as someone who has worked with databases.

It says it's used to create MARC records, which are then cleaned up and exist without the spreadsheet, which is somewhat of a relief.
which, I think, is the OP's point - if they spin off AWS, when they need to negotiate with the union then amazon won't look nearly as profitable as Amazon plus AWS: "hey we lost a billion dollars last year, we can't afford this contract".

Wouldn't put it past them.
> That is not the same as "nerves and blood vessels in their nose".

The words literally mean "nerves and blood vessels in the nose". The quoted text also tells you that the observed pathology is not from direct viral infection.

Saying that "covid leads to brain damage" because the olfactory nerves are connected to the brain is an unsupported leap, and it's why the title of the paper doesn't say this. The title of this article is purposely sensational, and really needs to be changed.

A better, more accurate title would be: "covid smell loss due to inflammation in the olfactory epithelia".

Or just the title of the paper itself.
Almost anyone with a wage, salary, or rate that doesn't trivially adjust is hurt by inflation - unless of course they have more than enough debt to make up for all of that.
I'm really sorry for your family. This is part of the reason I don't even want to catch Covid.

In 2020 my sister lost her sense of smell t Covid, and it seems to have permanently altered her sense of taste. What else but damage to the brain could do that?

To this day food she used to love have been corrupted. She can't describe it, but the closest she has articulated to me is that certain things things "taste the way cigarettes smell." As a result, she has had trouble eating and has lost a lot of weight (not in the way you want to lose weight).

I get really upset when people dismiss long covid as some sort of hysteria. Even if that were true, the impacts are real, and it's not a joke or something to be minimized and dismissed.
As a software engineer you should not ever have had to be responsible for those things - that would be the job of network engineers and system engineers. For a small company that is only rolling one rack then I agree it makes sense to cloud host a lot of it (especially variable workloads). But keep in mind you can also roll your own hardware and have "the cloud" as your magic machine that pops up if your rack (or the connection to that datacenter) dies.
The common man and woman having a bad opinion about something is not a concerted or framed _PORTRAYAL_. That's the common take, opinion, the reality, rather than a portrayal (as implied). So? lots of common folk think of unions as overall having a negative impact --that's grass roots.

How many Americans even know what Democracy Now is (much less listen to it), compared to the millions of FOX News viewers?

Probably next to none.
It's so odd. When I was growing up this was just coming to an end in America. Everyone blamed panic about child abductions and stranger danger. But the reality was that cars were killing the kids I knew. My brother almost died from a hit and run that tore off a quarter of his face coming home from the library. Nearly all of the kids that died in my school were from motor vehicle crashes.

We build our cities so much around cars that there is no way to get anywhere safely as a kid. Half the neighborhoods where I live don't even have sidewalks. Speed limits are set to insane levels and people always do 10 mph beyond that. Roads are wide as hell and difficult to cross. No one even stops for pedestrians at a crossing. When someone does get killed by a car, the police hardly even care to write a ticket. The news media hardly even mentions it and when they do it's an "Accident" or even worse, the pedestrian/cyclist's fault. Then health insurance refuses to even pay because you got hit by an uninsured motorist.

One reason would be if your site violates the TOS or acceptable use policy. GitHub bans "excessive bandwidth" without defining what that is for example. For a small blog about technology you are probably fine.

You can just regulate these things. California has. So no need for expending mental energy.

Though Americans will probably expand a great deal of mental energy on fighting and lamenting these things though as changing things for the better is perceived as unamerican by about a third of the population.
In 2001, I submitted a AIM password decryption program to patorjk.com . It's still there today.

I recently rewrote the code in Javascript just for fun. I'll have to post it somewhere someday.

Tangentially related, I once stole a 4-character AIM screenname from someone who infected a computer at my school with some backdoor. I found his IP address via `netstat`, and then was able to access his C: drive because Windows File Sharing was turned on with anonymous access. I guess he didn't even have a firewall to block the port. I copied his registry database, and decrypted the AIM password and changed it. He got it back by using AOL's password reset by email tool.

I wonder if whoever it was (he or she) reads HN.

That was a position before the lockdowns even happened. There's nothing new about that thought.

Some local governments even felt strongly enough about that to go against the majority and have the laxest restrictions they could, or even prevent cities and counties from enforcing stronger measures than the state.

It remains to be seen how that plays out in the end, though. History books in a few decades are going to be very interesting.

It's not an indiscriminate lossy compression though, it's a summary your brain finely tuned for a specific audience: yourself.

What's cool in this whole intelligence process is we get to refine the algorithm of what exactly it is we want to keep in the summary.

In "discarding features that aren't relevant" mentioned in the article, we subconsciously pick what is and what isn't relevant.

That's why I think we sometimes have such vivid memories of some childhood scenes: something new happened, our algorithm at that time didn't know what was "relevant", so out of safety it decides to store everything.

SNAP is certainly an example, although it's pretty minimal (generally ~$1-$2 / hr increase is enough to jump out of the cliff). The child care subsidies cliff is the biggest one by far -- not even close.

One interesting question though is since the framing here is net benefit of society, is whether it's actually a benefit to society to fix the child care cliff. It could be that stacking <5 y/o in a pile with an overworked stranger leads to worse outcomes for children. It may be this cliff is actually a net benefit by allocating labor of a low earning parent into a high-payoff 1:1 attention long-term benefit to a small child. I think we may find that society is worse off if child-care subsidies are "fixed."

That YOU have found. I use both and for sure the ESP32 is now much more favoured in my setups than the ESP8266 (as much as I love that chip).
Part of the problem is technology evolving from being a valuable tool to being hostile and abusive. For example, you mention Star Trek. One vision from Star Trek which had a big impact on people was the notion that you could talk to your computer and have it answer your questions and do your bidding. Now computers are powerful enough to implement that feature. But we discover that instead of owning a computer we can talk to, we only own a microphone which has a direct subspace link to the Ferengi homeworld, to a computer they own, they control, and which prioritizes their interests over ours.
Hmm, I see.

Yes I've been thinking more and more recently about how personalization means fewer shared experiences.

It becomes much harder to remain a cohesive group when everyone is getting their personalized version of a thing.

I don't think there's much value in this for something as small as a restaurant where menus are always limited enough that personalization wouldn't impact what is on the menu (maybe just how its presented to you).

Personalized pricing (combo or otherwise), surge pricing etc for restaurants seems just unlikely IMO. But I can see why some might think otherwise.
I suspect what the author is trying to say in plain english is that Zapier is prime for being copied to a more focused business case.

ie, ITTT/zapier have proven that this idea works, lets copy+paste one but aimed at some other more specific business/scenario like catering or some junk.

Its a more jazzy version than "lets make an uber, but for farts."
Love that it's for Rails. Might actually use this!
I'm quite certain that with some effort, and possibly some stretching of definitions, one can "do DDD with Rails".

But at that point you are going against the grain. You are both missing out on some good parts of Rails and spending a lot of time to work around or against what Rails wants and needs: Rails is very opinionated, don't forget that.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_record_pattern#Criticis...
> Another critique of the active record pattern is that, also due to the strong coupling of database interaction and application logic, an active record object does not follow the single responsibility principle and separation of concerns as opposed to multitier architecture which properly addresses these practices.[citation needed][clarification needed] Because of this, the active record pattern is best and most often employed in simple applications that are all forms-over-data with CRUD functionality, or only as one part of an architecture.[citation needed] Typically that part is data access and why several ORMs implement the active record pattern.

And a Rails without ActiveRecord, while technically possible, leaves you with a Rails that is hardly workable -if at all- and brings a lot of pain. Your application will live in ActiveRecord models, spread all over:

> ActiveRecord is meant to become the central part of your domain logic.

So the answer would be: yes, this is necessarily the case. In practice and even in theory.

True. Either severity lessened, or social distancing was largely useless. I'm pretty confident it's the former, but that assumption is implicit to my comment above.
I strongly recommend writing a personal (career) mission statement
> you already asked that of the other person

> I am a third party confirming that, yes, in this case, they are as they seem to that person

And now I am asking you. Two people agreeing that something "seems" true does not render it true in actual/shared reality.

> if you believe their position, as confirmed by a third party, contains genuine flaws, it might just be your biases showing through

This is one possibility, but another possibility is that their position, and the "confirmation" by the third party, is erroneous, perhaps due to their biases.

> nonetheless, I encourage you to clearly (and succinctly) articulate them, and try to convince us that said person's views do not reflect reality

I do not "have a dog" in this object level fight - my interest is in the abstract: what are the various ways in which human beings perceive reality incorrectly, and is it possible to get even one of them to explicitly acknowledge that it is possible that their belief is incorrect, at least to some degree....and, might it be possible that this ~methodology (exerting effort to discover what is actually true, and fine-grained "hard stops" preventing that discovery, etc) may have materially important utility to humanity, and should therefore perhaps be taken seriously.

Note also that I explicitly encourage disagreement, as well as avoiding the premature formation of conclusions (I did not do this explicitly before, so I am appending it here).
I think the reality is that most companies don’t have the skill set needed to maintain on-prem infra. A lot of us here take this kind of knowledge for granted, but most businesses don’t have the time or resources to build some of this stuff themselves so they reach for the cloud. You also see a lot of VC backed companies splurge on cloud as a trade off of money for rapid growth.
I think pretty much everyone should do the locks but my understanding is that it doesn't apply to any organisation that already has a relationship to you, even for extending new credit.

Just find medium sized businesses in any major city - many will still be using these stacks. Just avoid the ones that do not invest or see IT as a cost center (there are many of those). Any decently profitable medium sized business that is willing to invest in reliable IT AND knows that they should be involving in IT in many of their normal day to day processes in order to drive further innovation / optimization is probably a decent place to work.

These days the word "boomer" triggers anyone older than elder millennials, and somehow it's furthermore become a bit politicized. Most people also don't know that Generation X or the Silent Generation exist, and many don't know which one they are, other than "boomer=old/bad". It's become a bit of a slur, and that's not what I intended.
> I wouldn't want expect a list of best restaurants from a food critic to be identical to the list of top restaurant chains by revenue

That's a very good point that the role of the critic is to provide their own expertise and opinions on the overall subject. But the critic still has to be within the ballpark of popular tastes if the expectation is a mass audience that really trusts their recommendations, right?

Many Americans might listen to a food critic that said that he thought some pasta dish at some Italian restaurant was the best, even if pasta is not currently everybody's favorite food. But if he he recommended boiled snails or braised calf brains, many people might ignore his judgement because it's a bit too far out of range of what they're comfortable with. At a certain distance from popular opinion, a mass audience might no longer trust that critic. Just a thought.
I would think you'd do the exact opposite.

If you leave a computer running anyone (Well "anyone" being a skilled adversary) can simply pull out the RAM and grab encryption keys in clear text. Law enforcement does this so often, it's practically routine. The only "safe" system is one that has been long powered off and is using tried and true cryptography, ideally open-source FDE that's been fully audited.
