I’m hoping smaller suppliers will be willing to fill-in the vacuum and looking to compete, grow and extend their reach.

Definitely seems like an uphill battle at the moment, but I’m willing to fight as long as the problem persists (i.e, buyers suffering from lack of suppler competition).

The auctions on there are from businesses, though. Planning on manually sending those RFQs to relevant suppliers myself.

Edit: Also hoping suppliers with excess items will be willing to deliver for better prices.

It's generally recognized that deleting data from a backup would violate the integrity of the backup, so allowances are made. Usually you have to make sure the data is deleted as part of the restore process. For example, from CCPA:

> If a business stores any personal information on archived or backup systems, it may delay compliance with the consumer's request to delete, with respect to data stored on the archived or backup system, until the archived or backup system relating to that data is restored to an active system or next accessed or used for a sale, disclosure, or commercial purpose.
Have you ever thought about much much carbon we would have to bury if we wanted to properly dispose of the CO2 we emit? It would go way beyond wind turbine blades.
Sure. AlphaFold is, in fact, the greatest shot at revenue that DeepMind has shown so far (and they are under intense pressure from Alphabet to show revenue).
I've yet to work at an office that paid sufficient attention to regular backup & restore validation, to scalable design, or proper unit testing, or to basic security updates. Upper management is repeatedly incentivized to produce vaporware, not reliable service.

Suits think a crummy Flash quiz on PII is enough to stop leaks. The automotive industry couldn't stop airbags from acting as claymores. It's even harder to get good code approved in tech.
Yeah, I mean the part of doing this while having a job shouldn’t be rocket science: “I have an appointment” is usually a good enough reason to take some time at the beginning or end of day.
I am tired of survivor-biased "best practices" advice. I wonder which practices contained there are the worst practices.
I bought puts yesterday morning. Was up 50% by the end of day but now down to 50% of what I paid.

Mine expire 4/22 but I have more calls open at the moment anyways so if I had to choose between this going down or the market up I'll take a full loss on these puts (seems likely at the moment)
Well I didn't do any scientific research about the project but it definitely works and the bees/hornets like it. We also have a lots of birds (20 or so different species) and no one attacked it so far. I guess I can try deeper holes on my next iteration :) it will depend on the firewood.
Ask HN: Many electric cars launch this year, is anyone making charging networks?
Many electric cares are launching this year, including electric versions of the most popular cars in America, the pickup truck.

The current, non-Tesla charging networks that are out there are spotty at best, and often broken at worst.

While everyone wont be immediately switching, is there any company out there who is preparing to launch a charging network to supply the incoming demand for electric chargers?

Stacktape does support secrets https://docs.stacktape.com/resources/secrets/

You can easily inject them to a container environment variable (at deploy time).
You can also fetch these secrets at runtime (using aws sdk).

Do you need anything else? I'll be happy to explore your use-case and see what we can do.
And that last paragraph is the reason why this entire article exists. It’s basically astroturfing.

I see my friends do this all the time and I just want to slap them in the face and tell them to snap out of whatever trance they are in. They work long hours, they are no longer making the time to take care of themselves, or keep up with people they love. They complain how terribly they hate their situation and how depressed it is, but they continue working those 60 hour weeks and bending over backwards to terrible bosses as if that is how it simply is and there is nothing better. It's making me depressed just seeing them slide off like this, all because of these shit jobs they put themselves into. And its not like they can't find other work either, they have good experience, but are so beaten down by the current job that they can't muster energy to commit to a job search on top of that 60 hour work week. You almost have to rip the bandaid off and just quit with nothing lined up.
"permanently delete" strongly suggests to me that it was the "medical and financial data" kind of compliance. If data can be restored, it's not permanently deleted. But this was a statement from the CEO, so words can have arbitrary meaning :)
I’ll rephrase. While the intent is to topple or pacify the government by starving the regime, this strategy essentially requires the suffering of the people. Happy and content people don’t revolt or push for political change.

We are openly doing this to Russia right now, rooting for the economic collapse and stark decline of living standards.

In both situations we assume that making life much more difficult for the people now will achieve our goals.
At first I noticed maps.google.com wasn’t responding. Then googling “is Google down?” failed too.

It all seems to be working now, but Downhound and other outage sites seem to corroborate the temporary outage.
Nope it's not ridiculous. If you are only allowed to store data for x month that's it.

It's your job to use technics which allow you to do this like using encryption on your backup and deleting the keys for it, for example.
That would be tidal forces. There wouldn't be enough time for that.

Might work, but will probably just worsen the problems buyers are having (high prices, poor quality supplies, etc…). Will probably bring even more power to large/medium-sized suppliers rather than empowering smaller ones.
Less Billie, and much more her brother, IMO, who I believe is the musician: she’s the face & lyricist. His music is definitely something new & of quality.
It's impossible to answer in a vacuum.

We live where we live because we're 10 minutes from my wife's two sisters, my wife's parents, and 3 cousins our kids love to play with. Generally, I think the only way we're moving is if they move first. Because my wife's whole family is here. And she spends multiple days per week with them. As do our kids.

The idea that she should be supportive of me tearing her away from this support structure is questionable.

Obviously if something came up we would discuss things. But I don't expect her to like it. Even if it involved a pay raise. Even if it involved moving somewhere she would love to live. Because these people aren't there.
> So like notifications with extra steps?

I don't understand how you missed the point after I even repeated it in the last paragraph (of just three).

Also, nobody forces or even just asked you to do what others do.
Probably not in a steel mill, because otherwise you could have just heat water to steam and use it to run a generator. Since this is not done, there is a catch.

An example where this idea works is a condensing boiler where the burned gases heat is used to increase efficiency by 10-30%.
What "government financial controls" are you referring to?

Not everything is black and white. While the government can enact laws, and enforce those with courts and guns, on a practical level it is easier, for example, to flee a hostile country with Bitcoin than with a checking account held at a local bank.
All of your points (minus maybe the first one) should be "easily" solved/implemented in a company the size of Atlassian, and maybe there are newer costumers sharded like this already. IMO what happened in this case is basically tech debt that is now being paid with loooot of interests.

I turned a photo gallery thing into an ecommerce site, tied to Paypal, on a Mac maybe 20 years ago. Lot of PHP mucking-about, with little idea what I was doing. No harm or foul, though, other than I could have picked a different gallery app that already did that.
Hi, this is Mike from Atlassian Engineering. You are right that the checks need to improve to reduce human error, but that's only half of it. I don't see this as human error though. It's a system error. We will be doing some work to make these kind of hard deletes impossible in our system.
I did a working interview at a pc shop in the late 90's, and the other guy doing the same interview swapped those on a customer's computer and smoked the new motherboard and the PSU. I knew there was an issue when they hired me... and him. Worst job ever.

But is Skype that way now? Zoom was in good position when the pandemic made everyone pick a video conferencing app. Some of the competition (Webex comes to mind) got slapped so hard they basically copied the Zoom interface in order to stay somewhat competitive.

I built a Crypto prices chrome extension that shows the top 10 Crypto coins and their prices. All right under my browser, so I don’t have to go to any other website. It’s so helpful, and I love it. I use it every day.

How is the LGPLv3 materially different from LGPLv2.1? It's perfectly possible to use Qt under LGPLv3 in a closed source program with dynamic linking without much fuss.
Latest one is written in Kotlin and compiled to a single executable.

While I know many here dislike “crypto,” it’s used to calculate some details on some OpenSea NFTs I’m interested in. The details on each NFT are varied, but two of these NFTs can have their details combined to create a “more powerful” NFT. Don’t think I should bother going into more detail, but the code calculates every permutation of the details for all the NFTs to identify the best combinations. Didn’t take long to write and I did it for fun as I never compiled Kotlin down to a stand-alone executable and I wanted to give it a try.

I made a command line music playing frontend. It has a list of all my music as a flat text file, then if I run "music" it shuffles randomly, or I can add a regex as an argument to pick the files from the list. It works surprisingly well - given my folder structure I can just type in "music <artist>" or "music <genre>" or "music <specific song>" and it just does it. It also has a flag for turning shuffle mode on or off.

Very simple, but very comfortable for me.

I also created my own TODO / dashboard app, where all tasks are on a schedule (do this every x days) and I can enter a value each time I complete a task. These then show up as graphs on my dashboard - helpful for tracking weight etc. I also graph a bunch of random things automatically in the same system (how many unread emails I have).

It also tracks how many tasks are overdue so I can measure my general ability to get stuff done, and if it gets overwhelming I can tweak the settings so it just shows me a few things (or more realistically I tweak the task to either not need doing/tracking, or I slow down it's cadence).
They might even get some new customers after people who never used it look at their site and offerings.

Disclaimer I have puts that expire 4/22 (purchased yesterday) so I hope they go down in the short term. Seems like a total loss now after being up 50% yesterday.
"You need to commit to your due dates. But you also need to drop everything continuously to respond to critical issues."
> If by technical merits you mean "the tools all already exist"

I mean the technologies that define this space, e.g. blockchains, ERC20 tokens, NFTs, and so on. I mean that in your comment, you didn't try to claim that these technologies were worth anything in themselves, just that there is a demand for them.

> But, people have business ideas and want them built. I'm building those while solving new interesting problems. Does that really sound so bad as a job?

No, but then you're also not in disagreement with people who find these technologies to be mostly a dead-end, since you just ignore how relevant these technologies are, you abstract away from the business requirements defined by somebody else.
> Going back and purging things from the backups as part of the delete process would be overdoing it to a ridiculous degree.

Also, modifying backups is a great way to inadvertently hose your backups.
The answer to that is a huge part of the NLP field. The current answer is that you break down the string into constituent parts and map each of them into a high dimensional space. “cat” becomes a large vector whose position is continuous and therefore differentiable. “the cat” probably becomes a pair of vectors.

I think in the mentioned cases, and maybe in similar ones I heard of before, the alternative was not to revoke citizenship, but to let them rot in a foreign jail.
You can a get cheap portable light table. I have a Huion one I use for making papercraft greeting cards (I sketch the shapes before transferring to colored paper via tracing).
I have a strange problem with my monitor that I solved with a program.

Basically, I use a USB switch to switch my mouse, keyboard, and webcam between my personal desktop computer and the MacBook I use for work. I tried a full KVM switch at first, but every time I'd switch it to my MacBook, Windows on my PC would flip its shit. With the primary monitor disconnected, it would move everything to the secondary monitor, which was fine, except that when I moved the KVM switch back to my PC, it would move everything back to my primary display, whether or not it was originally on my primary or secondary. Additionally, since my two monitors are different resolutions, all my window sizing was wrong.

I tried to get around this by plugging my PC into my monitor's Display Port and plugging the MacBook into an HDMI port and just telling my monitor to switch inputs, and for the most part it works, but at 1 PM every day, if my monitor is set to HDMI, it drops the DP connection, making Windows think it lost the monitor, putting me back at square one.

So I wrote a simple program in Python that sits in my notification tray. I can tell it to save or restore all my window positions. So if Windows loses the monitor, after it comes back, I can restore everything to where it was.

As a bonus, I also added a "Easy Copy/Paste" menu to quickly copy emojis like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and ಠ_ಠ to my clipboard.
Tracking Finances

I originally wrote a web app to track my finances in 2003 using classic ASP and T-SQL. In early 2017, I rewrote it from scratch, still using T-SQL, but with C#.NET and jQuery. Lets me review my budget, ensure my net worth is heading in the direction I want, make sure all my payments get made, and ensure my account balances never get too low (with a light forecasting element.)

Ideally I'd open source it, focus on the API documentation so anyone could write a back end, and iron out a few more front-end bugs, but since it gets the job done for me, the motivation never quite strikes me.

> This scandal and the issues at the dutch tax office runs much deeper than just this one set of issues

The article doesn't even list all of the issues. For example, on top of the things you rightfully pointed out, this article also fails to mention is that (at least) 1115 children were taken away from their parents as a result of this, and despite this being known for more than half a year, not a single child has been returned to their parents[0]. There just seems to be zero interest by the authorities to help the people who went through life-destroying tragedies as a result of all this.

To paraphrase one comedian from the Dutch version of Have I Got News For You[1], "if one child would go missing tomorrow the entire country would be upside down, there would be search parties, the media would go crazy with the story. And yet at least 1115 children have been wrongfully taken from their families, we've known this for half a year, and nothing seems to happen."

A server with 64 GB of ECC ram sitting at an altitude of 3.2 km on the Greenland ice sheet is reporting... 0 bit errors (whether correctable or uncorrectable) in the 244 days it's been up.

Maybe I shouldn't believe what /sys/devices/system/edac/mc is reporting? These are EL8 systems...
The more I think about it, the more I think this is the right call. The only alternative would be something like falling back to running with no hooks and printing a warning to stderr indicating that there are disabled hooks. Actions that modify that repository should also be disabled in that case. Then there should be a command like 'git hooks trust' that adds the directory to the user's list of trusted folders.

We are always told "Accept your significant other - do not try to change them." Why does not that apply here?
We have all sorts of slack channels set up to coordinate activity, so that internal customers can talk to engineers easily, or engineers can engage with each other. If slack goes down, we'd have to work all that out. For many days, it would be a huge drag on the process, slowing down interactions.

Other IM platforms wouldn't solve that just by existing. Sure, in principle one could set up such channels elsewhere, but that takes time, and the communication about it takes considerably more time.

> Too often for me, I have tried to figure out a solution to a problem, when someone was just trying to let me know how they feel.

That's likely not uncommon among the readers here, and something I do as well. But I think just realizing that I do it has helped me to stop doing it so much.
A priori? No. Typically this would be determined by synthesizing or expressing the protein of interest and then using something like CD (circular dichroism).

There is an absolutely enormous amount of experimental data about enzyme structure, but frankly I think the simplest is to just understand that the modern ideas about the reversible protein folding process came from ribonuclease, a protein that cuts RNA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anfinsen%27s_dogma

There may also be intrinsically disorderd enzymes, I'm not really sure how they would work, but of course, in biology, there's always a weird example that violates normal expectations because evolution once randomly tried somethign a billion years ago and got stuck with it.
Unfortunately that’s very true. It didn’t used to be this way.
I'll believe their not allowing it when their soft gums and limp regulations have teeth again. Fines are a cost of doing business in many cases, unfortunately.
I find it helpful to stop thinking of JIRA as a bug tracker or anything like that. In my opinion JIRA is more of a way to create and track workflows. It can be used as a blank slate for quite a lot of things (which I cannot come up with any examples for at the moment!)

That being said, because it can do anything, it doesn't take much effort to make a workflow as painful as possible. Somebody with the "right" mind might make all kinds of checkpoints in a workflow, which makes a lot of operations a pain in the ass because you wind up hopping through a bunch of steps. Pretty sure in our org we just make our workflow "you can hop from any state to any other state"--basically a free-for-all.

Dunno my point, but there you go!
Quite a bit better on average. At the extremes, the US can be just as bad.

You can't force someone to trade with you - while being able to trade within your state is a right, international trade is a privilege. This privilege is negotiated at the state level. If you decide to thumb your nose at your trading partners they can stop trading with you, because they don't owe you trade.

If you built an economy entirely dependent on foreign trade for the survival of your own citizens it's best not to bite the hand that feeds, eh? But making sure your citizens survive is your responsibility and yours alone - not that of your trading partners.
"Go beat/kill this guy" is violence, yet it's just words. Putin haven't killed people with his bare hands(at least for a few years...)But who wouldn't call him violent?

If your sanctions cause people to die, of hunger, sickness or anything else, it's violence.

I'm not against sanctions depending on the circumstances, but you're just wrong

I asked the same question yesterday, and the responses were food for thought.

If you make backups, you are, almost by definition, unable to perform a full 'Compliance Delete' before the oldest backup in the set has expired.

Compliance-based deletion, if it is offered as a service, is almost always something time-based, like "we guarantee the data will be deleted 7 years from now". And then that deliberate deletion step is baked into the backup process.

So, i.m.o. at best they misrepresented the nature of the compliance deletion process. It never did what it was designed to do.
