>> They need charismatic movies and set free artists with risky content. Not 20 episodes of Ozark.

I think the exact opposite: Ozark was great, because it is basically a rip-off of Breaking Bad, which was made by a mainstream TV network (which has a lot of experience and research about what kind of stories people do like). The "risky content" from artists that were "set free" is a recipe for disaster: you spend a lot of money to produce a show that only appeals to some exotic audiences. Netflix has some examples of that. Only once in a while you'll hit the jackpot and have this risky content make you a lot of money.
Like another comment said, different strokes for different folks.

I would much rather pay overage fees than have my site go down due to a hard limit, but I would also like the option to choose the opposite.

That way you appeal to both sides of the scalability-vs-predictability crowd.

> at the time the science suggested that was the best path.

Science is not a monolith. I can find a hundred distinguished scientists who disagree with that statement.

... that is an especially controversial statement for anyone who remembers how (1) SARS was airborne and (2) masks did help, contrary to the public position of the WHO/CDC.

This cognitive bias is something that is really ingrained in the population by pop-sci media, usually ones that start with "Scientists now say that ____". Technically it's correct that "(some) scientists say that ____" but laypersons can easily misunderstand that "(all) scientists say that ____".

Yes, legally YouTube is in the right.

Morally, society needs to solve the problem of the private platforms that are quasi-utility services.

I thought the phrase was "dear sibling" since "big" might not be sufficiently inclusive.
Simply lie about it. No one has ever checked up on my educational history - note not qualification (which a degree is not), though I do have some that qualify me as a state registered health technician.
> If you want to say the science is still unsettled, sure.

I agree studies give conflicting results and there is isn’t a clear winner here.

I agree more studies are perfectly reasonable.

However, the default when faced with conflicting information isn’t to put forth effort into changing behavior. That requires justification, which isn’t available.

Consider if millions where micro-dosing Tylenol to avoid dementia and the results where inconclusive, what messaging would you provide? (Stop your wasting money), (do it it’s probably worth it), (might help, might not, we don’t know do what you want). The temptation is to say ‘do it’, the costs are low and the benefits could be significant. However, when there are known useful things people could be doing it’s probably best to stick with the third option.

PS: Ok you could jump on the latest study and constantly flip flop on recommendations, but that just confuses people and erodes trust in the process.
Yeah, but Netflix movies really suck and at least in Brazil and other countries, their library is getting increasingly smaller, which causes the crappy originals to dominate.
I mean, last month they were featuring a movie about f-cking hailstorms as the main attraction!
The "current form" is changing. I'm hearing more and more schools who integrate their curriculum with real-world projects, and who encourage travel and international study to expose the students to wider perspectives. I've seen some programs that almost make me envious of current students, and feel like my own education from 30 years ago was fairly lame in comparison.

I think college is getting better and more valuable with time, at least in some programs. I doubt the programs that are not evolving will fare as well in the future. But the costs are the true problem. If the evolution of higher education continues and becomes available to all, we could really have something.

I scanned a signature and set of initials, traced them in Illustrator to neaten them up, colored the ink blue and blurred the lines a little in Photoshop, then saved with transparent backgrounds in a couple of formats. PNG and TIF are the ones I mainly use.

In my ancient version of Acrobat I created rubber stamps from the PNGs. Two clicks to drop them in, a quick resize and adjust the placement, and Bob’s your uncle. Never need a pen again.

If you're a reasonable smart person you'll do really well in the trades. It's easy enough to learn quite a few trades while taking some basic business courses at night and you'll already be well ahead of the game.

A friend of mine runs an industrial insulation business (install, removal, maintenance, etc) and uses union staffing for the contracts he wins. He works about 2 hours a day taking the calls he needs and arranging inspections for bidding on jobs. Makes as much as a software engineer at a FAANG.

Another friend is a general contractor who has connections to custom cabinet shops and he sells home renovations and is getting 30% margin on high end jobs. Did all the jobs for about 10 years so bidding is easy for him and he doesn't lift a thing except the gas cap when he's filling his 100k truck.

For the genres I like Netflix is kinda a brand of content to actively avoid, their content is not just mediocre, but outright terrible, when you hear a beloved franchise will get a Netflix-made version you get sad.

One of the issues is how much Netflix content just reflect whatever crap is a fad in California politics. I am not even from US, I don't want to hear about Californian political themes in the media I consume, SPECIALLY when it is a remake of something from a country that has nothing to do with California culture! (like... Japan, or Poland...)
Apple has been good at quality, but the quantity's still really low. I keep meaning to cancel because I go months without watching anything on it. Unfortunately for them, it'd be an excellent one to start subbing just one month a year.
I love that it's considered 'adversity' - working in some of the most advanced labs in the world, on some of the most wealthy campuses in the world, all the while partying with your friends, doing the minimum work to get a B or C average.

Not saying I was exactly one of those types, but those types ALSO got jobs just fine, and I'm ready to brawl anyone that says they faced any true 'adversity'.
Yes in "Tetris Guidelines". In fact, greater feats can be accomplished in modern Tetris games, thanks to these strong guidelines.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmG0NcbrLTE

Strong players practice these loops all the time. Its possible thanks to the "bag randomizer".

--------

The BT Cannon is a TSpin double (4 damage + B2B bonus) + TSpin Triple (6 damage + B2B bonus), for a total of 11 damage.

The DT-cannon followup is a TSpin Triple followed by TSpin Double for a total of 12 damage.

Finally, the Perfect Clear is 10 damage, for a total of 33 damage per loop.

--------

Other players practice triple-perfect clear starts, for 30-straight damage in some ~30 tetriminos dropped. But the BT-cannon + DT Cannon -> Perfect clear setup is a beautiful arrangement.

The whole loop is carried out over 5 bags IIRC, or 35 pieces (5 bags * 7 pieces per bag == 35 sets of each piece). That's enough for the 4x T-pieces needed for the BT-cannon + DT Cannon (which offer significant amounts of damage)

35 pieces * 4 pieces == 140 minos, or 14 lines (the Tetris board is exactly 10 pieces wide). Which lines up with not only a perfect bag loop (the 35th piece finishes the bag, meaning piece#36 is a new bag, allowing you to loop), but also divides perfectly with 140 minos aka 14 lines, meaning the perfect clear is possible.

------

Thanks to Tetris Guidelines bag randomizer, bag#6 is effectively the same situation as bag#1 (start of a new bag). So you loop the sequence and can continuously apply the BT-cannon / DT-cannon / perfect clear loop almost perpetually. In practice, its "only" a 90%+ chance of continuing each loop, but that's a high enough probability to effectively use the technique in competitive games.

EDIT: The existence of the "Hold Piece", in combination with the "easy to count" 7-bag randomizer, allows for some incredible feats in Tetris Guidelines that classic-Tetris players are unfamiliar with. Its a different game, more about quick-reaction speed and twitch reaction rather than the planning-centric classic-Tetris. But its these attributes that make Tetris-Guideline games better for player-vs-player setups. Practiced strategies are more reliable and less contingent on luck.
This is just whiny. So what someone said hi in your precious chat, either just say hi back or don't. Maybe they just want to make sure they're not talking into a dead channel. And if you're messaging someone directly maybe it's just something you want a synchronous conversation over.
They lost 700,000 from Russia gained 500,000 elsewhere net -200,000. I don't know how much they normally gain but I suspect a lot are jumping to conclusions from the headline. Loosing Russia wasn't really a consumer choice type of thing.

I do wish they'd pick up a few more good Sci-Fi shows and then cancel them to confirm my personal grudge. It's so hard to waste my time on today's Sci-Fi...get off my lawn, etc, etc.
Heh, yup. I remember an article on here about some low-level calculation optimization for 32-bit ints that bugged out even with extensive edge-case testing. The conclusion being “just test all the numbers”, 2^32 isn’t that much!
>FAANG can take your contribution and compete with you

Compete with you on what? using the public goods you created? I still think that is the point. If they can utilize the public good more efficiently and offer its service to users at a more competitive price point than your small shop - that benefits the user.

>I'm interested in getting paid repeatedly without any additional effort on my part, rather than getting paid per hour.

A plumber doesn't get paid every time water runs through the pipe. Coming up with clever solutions to the operational problem is part of the $/hr of doing work.

I guess what it comes down it is are we talking about literal code, or are we talking about something higher level that you want some level of ownership of?

When it comes to code, the logic of the code itself is not where the value is. the reason multiple payments are made for the same set of logic / code is because the value is in the time and place of execution. Owning the overall system the code lives in is all that matters for value. Code itself has literally no value on its own. The value is in the execution.

The thing people pay for is to have others execute code for them. development is part of that.

you still bring up an interesting payment model idea though. I'm not sure how it could work, but there might be a feasible way to have multiple developers work under the same umbrella, with all code being proprietary and owned by that umbrella, and instead of paying them a flat wage they each work as contractors who get paid whenever code they developed gets executed. The umbrella could service FAANG as customers through typical SaaS API model so FAANG never sees the code and the developers themselves get paid on execution instead of FAANG management

Basically what you describe, but as a closed ecosystem - not sure how feasible it would be to insulate it from the general ecosystem though.
The palm pre was possibly a decade ahead of it's time, I loved that thing. Amazing hardware keyboard, decent screen for the time, webOS, magnetic wireless charging!!
Ideally you offer developers both a relational data store and a fast key-value data store. Train your developers to understand the pros and cons and then step back.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with a big db instance. The cloud providers have fantastic automation around multi-az masters, read replicas and failover. They even do cross region or cross account replication.

That being said. Multi PB would raise an eyebrow.
The only question I have is how do we shift the cost of and/or the general tax-payer?

This question is meant more generally, not as a jab at Florida's program.
>ban what can be said in schools

So if you are referring to the "Don't say gay," law, you should actually read it.

Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.

That's the actual text. I don't see how you could possibly think that is an appropriate subject for a 3rd grader, much less a kindergartner. The partisan hyperbole around it is ridiculous on both sides.

>books being banned

Like Huckleberry Finn? Agree, books shouldn't be banned. Well maybe Mein Kampf and The Turner Diaries. Maybe some shouldn't be taught in public schools, right? How about the Bible? Should that be excluded from the public school corriculum? No screening of A Birth of a Nation you'd agree with? It's not like they're removing them from public libraries or the internet. What is taught in public schools vs what is allowed to be said in a public forum are quite different things as well.

>laws that allow drivers to run over protesters

I don't think that is a free speech issue, plus you are misrepresenting this legislation as well. It's not like a democrat can run over a GOP protestor or vice versa, I believe there has to be an actual threat involved like a group encircling your vehicle baseball bats.

Here's the issue with your argument, you are arguing with an imaginary person. That's like a GOP person saying something like, "libs are socialist!" It's a huge generalization and mis-catagorization. It's an emotional, misinformed argument rather than a rational one, and you are doing the same thing. You're consuming too much news / opinion. Take a break from it, most of it isn't that great for you. I fell into the same trap when I was younger.
This is a repost from 2013, FYI. It got quite a bit of traction in Aug 2020, unsurprisingly. https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=nohello.com
Florida is a never. They’re truly trying to completely dismantle public education.

In a lot of parts (suburbs & such) people will ask anybody new they notice what church you go to. If your answer is anything other than a church you actually go to, word will spread pretty quickly & they’ll genuinely harshly look down upon you. This is overwhelmingly upper middle aged to elderly, but some of their kids follow suit.

It’s a fuckin swamp. Humans were not very made to live in swamps.

Without trying to sound more xenophobic than this already does - the Cubans need a generation or two more away from Castro… some of them are quite openly insane about perceived issues that don’t actually exist in our country.

Pipeline to prison is very real & social safety nets are non existent. It very much pushes people to either kill themselves or become very… unfortunate people to find yourself having to deal with. That said, most humans don’t go the route of killing themselves (a good thing) so you have a lot more of the latter.

Police like to think they’re Wild West cowboys & they get the authority to execute you with no repercussions faster than barbers get licenses to cut hair. Training with their weapons less time than a boy scout took to get a (weapons related) badge.

Sorry for the rant. Florida is one of the rudest awakenings for many who move there with happier ideals in mind. Much worse than a lot of Texas.
This seems insane and malicious as hell and I can't believe it's being sold as a feature. It's essentially just lying to users about which website they are currently visiting, or maybe I'm missing something.
79% of full time jobs maybe. But that doesn’t include gig work, contract jobs, self employed people, day laborers etc…
> It’s a very tiny but very vocal minority pushing these changes

This vocal minority would have no power if it didn't also serve corporate interests. I don't think all these companies are "victim" of a vocal minority here, American companies actively push these ideas because while people are bickering on wedge issues or blame each other's race/sex for all their problems, there is no time left to look into the ethics of their business practices.
Does this mean streaming has finally become cable? I feel like people have been discussing this for years. Now every single big show seems to be on a different platform all requiring another subscription and account. But does the average user consider that?
Caution that a vector graphic could look too clean in some situations. Clearly an issue per the OP.

Not defending the weirdo, but IBM Z is a thing that is shipping, heavily used, and still evolving. It's more CISC than even x86.

I do find it sad that we are stuck in an 80 year old paradigm that is a horrible fit for how CPUs are actually implemented in 2022, but the inertia is a strong in this one.
This. I didn't go to college myself, and have a fortunately successful career thus far, but the two key reasons I wish I had gone ultimately boil down to "I wish I had established a broader knowledge on topics related to my industry," and "I wish I was better versed in more worldly subjects."

With that said, I think we're poorly equipping high school students to make those evaluations as to if/when that's a smart choice for them. I support the argument for more trade schools and apprenticeships because for a number of folks, myself included in my early post-high school years, going to college straight out of HS would have been a giant waste of time and money. I wouldn't have taken it seriously, I didn't understand what I really wanted from life, only that I was "good at computer." High school guidance councilors are spending time and energy on getting you testing well, getting into school, because "it's good", but not once did I get counsel on whether that would have been right for me, or if there was a route I could take later on in life where I could take a path towards short term success that would give me the security to figure out "what do I want to do" after I'd learned enough about who I was.
Over the next decade, ML advancements will erode the monetary value of countless professions. Hopefully AI research will be turned towards solving the problems of society/economics/civilization before it is too late to avoid major disruptions in human wellbeing.
Maybe, but there is HOW it is being spent. The first 2 years of my university education could have easily, and frankly much better, taken place on something like Khan Academy. And high school would have made an even larger difference. I'm pretty sure at least half the time spent at high school worked against me rather than for me.

I'm not advocating for switching schools 100% to such platforms, I see the problems, but I do believe that perhaps half on those platforms would be an easy and large win over traditional education.
You experienced a 6 sigma event of two laptops from top tier manufacturers in a row turning up defective. I believe, most people never bought a defective laptop in their life time. I haven't.

I actually bought 5 Macbooks M1 for friends and family last year, because it's a trendy gift. I tried one for myself. I liked screen brightness. I didn't like that many programs weren't available without creating an Apple account, very expensive memory and SSD, and lack of games. So I went with a Gigabyte gaming laptop. 4k oled display, 3080 GPU, 32GB RAM and 1.5TB SSD for $4k - much better bang for money imho.
Ask HN: Custom domain email for professionals?
I have a non-tech friend who wants a custom domain email address, but I think it will be a bit complex to setup with all the configuration needed to avoid falling in spam these days (DNS settings, DMARC, etc.).

Is there any affordable email service which allows you to buy & use a custom domain with all the email authentication managed easily?
This is why I'm happy to simply read the well established facts of a variety of fields. There's more than enough to learn for a lifetime, and from what I read about research there's a heck of a lot of BS in the way for small incremental gains.

Having said that, if something does come along that interests someone, they should try it. A friend of mine is doing his 2nd PhD 40 years after his first, having found his way into it via a love of jazz music.

By "all you need to know" I was hoping this would get into a technical dissection of the protocol, eg. what you'd need to know if you wanted to make your own implementation.
My least favorite interaction pattern is this:

Person: "hi"

Me: "Hi, what's going on?"

Person: <DMs me about something>

No thank you. Please do not do that. I almost never have an interest with chatting 1:1 with a stranger after they ping a channel ostensibly devoted to a topic. If it's someplace where they're (justifiably) expecting help and support, then I'll provide the help and support there - where other people can also help and check my answers, and where others can find answers to the question there.
