This is true even of things like companies attempting to lay claim on your entire creative output. In most states in the USA court will enforce reasonable work-for-hire terms on work done on company time with company resources, or dealing directly with the company's business while employed with the company -- but any more than that and the contract is at risk of being unenforceable. The term of art in US and Canadian law is "unconscionable" -- the contract is so unreasonable, or was negotiated with such a vast power differential between the parties, that it would be silly and a moral outrage to enforce.

That said, the author of Nginx was sued by his former employer who tried to lay a claim to Nginx itself. So companies can and will pull a fast one -- hire an employment attorney if you are, or are afraid of finding yourself, in this situation.
This is what I've done from the start. Always pick a random word as the first entry (or I guess "random" since I'm still ensuring that there's no duplicate letters). It helps keep the game from getting stale.
I have a theory - the anti-academia and anti-science movements propped up by social media and youtube docs (you know the pages and channels I'm talkkng about) were supported financially, if not actively orchestrated by, big oil companies

I mean - flat earthers, anti-vaccine, ancient aliens, etc.

The goal being to discredit public belif in "specialists" as a whole - hopong to discredit climate scientists which are/were the first to voice concerns about climate change

I base this on absolutely nothing concrete, of course. I say this mostly in jest, but the fact its even conceivable is representative of the state of affairs...
What ideas are we talking about again? The idea that growth in productivity de-coupled from real wage growth in the 1970's?

So Asians teach their children that this is not a real effect? And are Chinese Asians? Because I've heard about this whole "lay flat" movement in response to 996 culture that seems awfully familiar. And Japan seems to have a similar movement with the Hikikomori that in fact predates the American version.

Ask HN: Experiences Finding and Working with Nonprofits?
I have a strong need for the work I do to be meaningful. The strongest contributor to that is that it "helps people", especially people who don't have a lot of money. I have to really believe what I'm making is "good", from a moral perspective. If I'm working for free, it feels even better. Ideally I'd work for free all the time. (My favorite thing to do is give people money, but I can't find a way to do it full-time ;)

FreeCodeCamp used to have a thing where at the end of the course you'd be paired up with a nonprofit and spend a few months working with them.

That always sounded great to me, so I was sad they stopped it and wondering if there are any sites like that, where you help nonprofits for free.

I actually found many such sites with a web search, so I was wondering if any of you have experience with such platforms, and more broadly advice about (and experiences with) working with nonprofits in general, if there any significant differences there to keep in mind.

Worth mentioning that I strongly prefer freelancing, in case that matters.

Thanks!
Explainer: How South Carolina execution firing squad works
Oddly apropos anecdote to your pun:

About 15 years ago, while working on Windows at Microsoft, a test machine sitting at my desk hit a kernel panic (BSOD). As was standard working on the test team, the machine was already setup for kernel debugging, and so I set out to debug it a bit in order to file a decent bug report.

Hours later, I couldn't make sense of it (I wasn't super experienced at this point). A few of the nearby devs couldn't either, and a small troop of us curious enough about the puzzler eventually escalated to the resident wizard, Raymond Chen[1]. Within 15 minutes of checking our work and poking at the machine, he traced the root cause down to a bit flip.

Ray's condition indeed. :)

It was Slack/etc years before those existed. They just couldn't figure out how to market it because there were no reference points at the time, so few could see any reason to use it.

Perhaps not in looks but what about culture, language, food, traditions, and values?
I built a CNC router for machining enclosures, from a kit. The machine weighs about 200kg. I built it because I needed to machine specific types of materials and wanted a high RPM spindle and special cutters to achieve certain finishes. I was not very concerned about achieving crazy tolerances. Ready to go serious CNC mills were going to cost 50K+ and were not built for the type of parts I wanted to machine. The machine ended up costing about 5K and I spent a month building it. It was a crazy difficult process and I cannot recommend this to anyone. The result is great, but then I realized I have no time to machine stuff and that it is hardcore labour even if you are not doing the actual work, the machine is. I also have to point out that the major hurdle is mounting and holding parts, and switching tools. So if you are serious about production you need really good/fast tool changers and advanced work holding tools, and automatic tool measurement/touch off. Having to screw around with workholding and switching/touching off tools eats away massively at your time. These days if I would buy a new machine I would go for a brother speedio or robodrill (rumoured to be used for the apple watch). But I would not buy a new machine unless I could afford someone to operate it. So TL;DR - don't build a machine unless you have a really good reason to do so, and realize that machining is labour intensive work that can potentially be very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.

In your case it sounds like you don't need very high precision parts and the parts are not very complicated? Perhaps you can go to a metal shop to have these made and you might not even need CNC machining. In any case, I would seriously just consider outsourcing the parts and not buying/building a machine and doing this yourself.
A market like groceries is so cutthroat and low margin that this would basically be impossible.
> unlike other generations, many Boomers actually saved for retirement

Not so much.

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/03221...

Many other sources cite similar numbers, or even worse. $200K is not enough to retire on. In fact, I've read that Boomers staying in the workforce out of necessity is a factor making things worse for those entering the job market. I'm pretty sure having to support Boomer parents isn't going to help later generations either.

Fortunately, I think this part of your argument is not essential. You make a lot of other great points that are unaffected by whether this part works.

Does AWS ban Bitcoin mining? Why would they care as long as the bills get paid
Odds are that it’s a hash of the Rick Roll url, so challenge accepted.
This actually indirectly incriminates feminism, article says men will do what is required of them to get sex and feminism sees women being promiscious as "right". But in turn allows one night stands to be common thus lowering the requirements to get sex. Contrast this from older times where majority men would get sex if they were okayed by parents of a woman and then got to marry ... Parents would look at character, wealth, profession, and more all indicators of stability. So men responded by pursuing those things .... But with tinder why bother let's play COD all day and be high 24/7
>Misogyny is still a huge thing (to my utter surprise honestly). Abuse, etc. Options for financial stability to escape these things I would suspect to contribute as well.

yes, this is why I couldn't quite be convinced of the thesis being proposed here. Or at the very least, they way they try to describe the "marketing" of being in a faithful marriage runs counter to the reality. While the situation of "deadbeat dad becomes alcoholic, won't get jobs, and cheats" is not an uncommon cause of divorce, the more common narrative pushes it as a liberation of women's right. Less about a man breaking away to be free and more about a woman not being trapped.

That above deadbeat stereotype has more become the "violent domestic abuser" type as of late. So divorce is a way to turn an absolute nightmare of a situation into emotional stability in exchange for what will likely be financial hardship. It turns a bad into slightly less bad, not a potentially patchful good into a bad.

Or at least, that's how society markets it. I don't have hard sources and admit these are just the notions I feel have risen over 3 decades of media consumption.
I will suggest genuinely new ideas are inherently hard to effectively express. It's like you want to speak Russian but everyone else speaks something else and Russian is a language you must invent on the fly while everyone assumes you are saying something else in some other language and that something else sounds like gibberish.
Everything is a spectrum but I've eaten kaitenzushi in Japan that cost 1100-2500JPY per person that would have cost 5-10x that outside Japan and wouldn't have been nearly as good.

I've found salmon and tuna can approach the level that might be passable in Japan but everything else (swordfish, mackerel, crab, clam etc etc) are whole leagues better in Japan than outside.

I currently live in Singapore where the sushi is actually pretty good but definitely not as good as Japan.
I can't tell if you are being sarcastic of you genuinely believe this..

Either way, telling people to pull themselves up by their bootstrap when a house costs over a million dollars and wages have stagnated for decades is very uncharitable.

I live in Canada, at this rate owning a house is a dream long gone for many people include me.
Why not say why if you think there is something interesting over there? Don't assume I care to listen to 25 minutes of whatever to maybe figure out what you think is interesting about a podcast.

Listening to a couple minutes, it sounds like they talk about expired medicine. Great. In any case, I don't see that there is really much of a market for moving 4 pounds at 60 miles an hour in the US. We have decent roads everywhere and the resources to have extra things where they might be needed.

A concrete example. Like I say, I live in a region that is larger than Rwanda, with something like 1/75 of the population density. There is a hospital with an emergency room in town here, the regional hospital is about 55 miles away in a straight line, a 75 minute drive if you don't speed, and then a real city is about 100 miles away in a straight line, a 2 hour drive if you don't speed (and it's similar for most of population in the region, living close to an emergency hospital and not all that far from a larger hospital).

This is the report the article cites

https://www.accountable.us/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/2022-0...

The report is not very well reasoned in my opinion. It appears mostly just to be against inflation in general since the definition of inflation is the price that ordinary consumers pay for goods at ordinary stores. If the article said "general inflation is 8% but wal-mart raised its prices 15% in areas with no competition" I would get that and be mad - but the report doesn't even say the price increase at these stores. It just cites the total increase in profits (without specifying if this is due to more total revenue, high profit margin, or lower costs)

The only exception I can see in the entire report is that Costco rose prices 5% - which actually seems less than inflation.

There's one part of the article that I think deserves more attention. I see Netflix in a big disjointed mess of entertainment.

I've got Netflix and then someone will tell me about something very interesting on Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO, or Showtime. I'm not gonna sign up for Hulu just to watch 1 movie or a series. I'm not gonna give Comcast more money just so that I can get HBO and a whole lot of other channels that I don't want.

And the marketplace is so complicated. I can pay Comcast to get the History Channel (and a lot of channels that I don't want) or, I could go to another steaming service and get History Channel, but you've gotta look into the details to discover that the "new" episodes are actually 1 season behind.

So, when I think about dropping Netflix, it's not because Netflix in and of itself is lacking or too expensive. It's more about throwing up my hands and quitting the madness of the whole marketplace.
Bit flips sound like glitch in the matrix
It isn’t easy to just dump unlimited money into panels, you need a distribution network to support such instillations and these batteries are leveraging that.

Storage closer to consumers has a huge number of issues being more expensive to manage, harder to scale, less efficient, etc etc. It sounds vastly more useful than it is because you end up increasing failure modes and make failing safe much harder.
It has use in cities like SF that lack better options. They have parking and the prices are cheaper than whole foods and similar stores, and it's better than going to a corner store. That's about it.
What exactly are you referring to on that page?
I've dealt pretty heavily in this area (Bought and operated several CNCs over the years) Your price point is going to limit your machines to almost exclusively Chinese imports

Lasers: Boss laser imports machines from China and provides great American-based support. If you can figure things your self, check out Cloudray laser. They ship straight from China; keep in mind the customs/shipping risks. I've purchased from both before. If you're not running production jobs, 75W C02 should be fine. I prefer 150W RECI C02 laser tubes. The go-to Chinese controller is made by Ruida. At the end of the day; most of these Chinese laser brands all have the same part suppliers, just different levels of QC and quality assembly. I'd avoid Glowforge and similar brands. They are a great for first time users at home; but I'd be more worried about work volume, laser power, and future spare part availability. I know quite a few people that outgrew their Glowforge-like machines and went with bigger more industrial imported lasers.

Purchase Lightburn for sending jobs from the PC to the laser.

Routers: I have a few friends that have a larger Shapeko-like machine that works well for Etsy-like products. Think embossed cutting boards, wall art etc. Granted there part is size like 12"x 24". The machine isn't stiff (compared to industrial units); but it gets the job done. Whatever machine you purchase you'd want to stick to linear guide rail motion system for all the axis; avoid the roller-wheel style motion systems if possible. If I personally was going to buy a new router in that price range; I'd buy either an Avid Pro machine or import a chinese machine straight from Alibaba. Start with checking out OMNICNC in China. Depending on your location; check out classifed ads, or talk to some local signmakers. They might be selling their older US-made Multicam machines for cheap.

I can give much more specific recommendations based on your production rate and part size/features/materials.

EDIT: Mirroring what other people are saying. If you just need some parts just to get brewery going, then I'd sub this out to someone else. If you have time, money, desire, love to spend many hours and thousands of dollars to learn the art of manufacturing, then go for it. But I'd recommend to solve the goal at hand first. Your brewery.
>Why would they care as long as the bills get paid

I imagine it's the cause of several support tickets along the lines of "I got hacked and racked up a $50,000 bill because of bitcoin mining"
Even jobs that pay horribly expect you to subject yourself to 10s of thousands of dollars in debt to have a degree now. It's ridiculous.

What if everyone knew the truth and didn't care because it want their problem?

I remember the Bush administration dismissing climate change because Americans didn't want to change their lifestyle.

I remember America falling in love with the SUV in 1995 at the precise moment we should have gone the other way in size.

I remember mid nineties pbs specials on global warming, the first ipcc reports that actually were underestimates.

Let me emphasize: the science was mainstream enough that there were UN panels of scientists making models and prognosis TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO.

What will be a surprise I'd be f anyone does go after the oil execs.
They don’t ban it, but new accounts or even semi old accounts will have hard time getting access to more than a few instances. Most of the GPU machines are behind lock and key that go toward AWS bigger clients and clients with a proven track record. They don’t want to be stuck with an unpaid ec2 bill for a multi thousand dollar a month vm.
> nobody builds GW-scale anything that is just a "research project".

Plenty of experimental GW scale nuclear reactors have been built, just look at the history of CANDU design for an example. That’s just the scale this stuff operates at, you need real world data to demonstrate it’s actually cost effective at scale and actually building stuff still requires actual R&D. Further, you don’t want to just build one you want multiple examples to see what costs look like when people building the thing have relevant experience.
This.

Also, Twitter isn't a place for regular users. Other platforms go out of their way to make content go viral. The only content that goes viral on Twitter are posts from accounts that are already popular. Musk sees more value in Twitter than the average user because it's his microphone to his bootlickers.

That much won't change. In fact it will be extended to people who demonstratably don't deserve to have a soap box.
This is probably the most insightful answer, the system is geared to rewarding creation of the next greatest technology. Sustaining what ever your predecessor did just doesn’t get prizes.
I honestly heavily prefer integration tests exactly because unit tests can miss the bigger picture. Search for "two unit tests, zero integration tests" if you'd like an easy-to-digest thing to share with your coworkers.

Don't get me wrong, unit tests are still useful. But someone needs to have the big picture in mind, and say "what happens if a human does this?" and consider all of the disparate component that may be involved in that action.

As a concrete example, don't rely on API requests to say that your microservice is fine. Boot up a full browser with Selenium to act as an actual user and start poking around the frontend. You'll probably say "oh right, I should fix that" at least a few times.
Thanks, but on the first glance this doesn't seem to be about bottom-up approach of synthesizing a cell from amino-acids, but about modifying existing cells.

> The interesting thing about your comment is that you view password hashing as needing more security but git commit hashes to be less of an issue.

I do? I should have been more clear that I think this is another case which very much depends on the other considerations I addressed and probably many more.

> And "is it possible?" is by definition always "yes".

You’re not the only person to say so, and… I know. I left the possibility open in my response mainly because I wanted to focus on the other considerations without dismissing the parent comment. Even if the answer was less definitive I believe considering level and degree of risk should be a bigger factor in these conversations than what’s theoretically possible.
Operationally, yes, branding and positioning, no.
Yes, obviously there are still _some_ jobs with decent pay that do not require extensive higher ed. The point is there are far fewer. Demand for plumbers, etc has not grown to fill in the massive gaps left by deindustrialization.
At some point I started to wonder if it wasn't some sort of slapstick final revenge plan on a type-A asshole, which of course no one would admit to.
Great story, a true random glitch.

Interestingly, a blog post of his was up on HN front page the other day: "The x86 architecture is the weirdo, part 2" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31077912
Richard Peng (and coauthors) has a lot of great work (such as this: https://epubs.siam.org/doi/abs/10.1137/110845914 as well as his more recent paper with Sidford).

But agree with the other commenters that implementing this is often quite difficult and there might be extremely high constants involved.
Database performance benchmarks are useless

It is actually cheap relative to the quality you get, so a lot of value. A linked article from TFA notes how TJ's is ranked #2 for quality https://clark.com/shopping-retail/cheapest-grocery-stores/ . Sure you can't find the junkiest cheapest things like at a Walmart, but if you need actual food basics like fresh organic produce, organic japanese green tea bags, kefir, and salmon lochs, there's almost nowhere cheaper.

Of course they can. That was the whole premise of the Listerine case.
If you run it Against a database of thousands or millions of passwords you can trickle out a steady flow though. So each gpu can crank out a few cracked accounts a day.
He/she's not alone - there are literally dozens of us!

But seriously, I'm the same, Python is a problem because it is such a great local optimum for this kind of thing - and yet a terrible global optimum. Ten years ago it made sense but now it is actively in the way of better alternatives, of which there are now plenty, gaining traction.
Ah yeah, that happens to me a lot. Especially if it's within a field ripe for quacks. It can be very hard to keep people from attributing some straw argument to you and then facing that as opposed to discussing something new.
Amazon prime is also very useful. I would say it's more useful for more people than Apple pay. But that doesn't excuse the bad behaviour.
