The test might be trivial, but being able to take it isn't trivial if you don't meet the age requirements.
Worse, the family of the victim had apparently forgiven the nurse for her mistake and didn't want criminal prosecution.

Yeah, anecdotally, experienced nurses were fed up in the mid-1980s.

> What 'spying' are you worried about with your meter? What can it report, other than your power usage, that the power company would know anyway?

Traditional electro-mechanical meters keep a running sum of power used, but can't tell the power company exactly how much power you were using at every minute of the day. Such a log, although still crude, gives the power company much more insight into your daily routine than they ever had before.
My experience is that college is heavily advertised as the choice for personal/professional growth, and there aren't many alternatives provided.

Because of that, most people assume college to be the natural course of progression, even if it isn't a good fit.
"Core" charges make a lot of sense for automotive parts that be reconditioned/refurbished. I'd much rather have to make another trip to the parts store to return my bad brake caliper than toss it in the trash. The same goes for something like phone batteries. Apple is dangling a carrot to get people to return batteries (and other parts) for recycling/proper disposal.
Begs the question, what do people not like about Porter?
I agree, but it's still out of touch. (not a knock on you, we are all subjectively influenced by what we come into contact with the most and interpreting it as 'normal'. It's also why something like 90% of people consider themselves middle class.) The fact that you have to narrow it down to software development and major cities should tell you that much. That's also why my original comment included both SV and software as biasing factors.

The average person does not develop software and does not live in a major city. If somebody is making double the median wage and 2.5x the average wage and complaining about keeping a roof over their head, they can probably expect some sideways glances. It's like when people complain about the difficulty of making ends meet once they make their Lexus payment and pay their kids private tuition bill. The subjective struggle may be legitimate but it's still out of touch with the experience of most people.

> social distance created by a large IQ gap

A few genuine questions.

Have you found the gap to be self-imposed (the kind where you struggle to keep a conversation going with a stupid person) or is the result of projection by your peers (where they feel uncomfortable having you around because you are smarter, and that makes them insecure about themselves)?

Is the social distance visible only in domains where you have devoted time to excelling in, or do you experience it in domains outside your expertise / in random conversions too ?

Do you think you benefitted from jumping to university so soon in life ?
So an application runs in a container that has a vulnerable OS. This has network access, DB access, NFS or SMB access. All valuable stuff. And then the container's OS gets breached due to the vulnerability. Sure, the VM hosting the Docker containers is secure, but that doesn't really matter if the breached container had access to PII or other valuable data.

This idea that people have about containers being 'the "OS (really userspace)' is fundamentally wrong. It's the equivalent of a VM, just (hopefully) stripped down to the bare essentials. There's no magic that protects it. The Docker host sure doesn't protect it, and in fact the Docker host can be vulnerable to exploitation from its containers, just as a vSphere host (or any other hypervisor) can be exploited if its VMs are insecure.
You are right, he did not directly "cause" it in the strictest sense.

I'm not totally sure, but I suspect quantitate finance/market makers, of which tech is a big part, would do well during recessions- profits there seem correlated to volatility and volume of stock trading, which I'd guess would be high during a downturn and recovery?

It's not designed for still images, so it probably doesn't have all the features ImageMagick has for that. But it can convert between video files and loose numbered image files, and it can convert cover art. And there is animated JPEG XL.
What are people using LISP for? Other than the Emacs flavor, and some companies using Clojure, I'm not really sure what I'd use it for?

For one images would put even more strain on the server (servers?) that HN runs on. Also, I fear that it would reduce the quality of the discussion, as at least on reddit, image posts seem to lead to repetitive and unproductive discussion.
Images/cards on link aggregators are primarily about maximizing clickthrough rate and/or time on site, which HN does not need to do.

> I find it… curious that the Self Service [0] website of famously brand-conscious Apple is dog-ugly, generic, and has no Apple branding whatsoever.

That's exactly why it is the way it is.

You do not want a brand associated with the highest quality and seamless integration to be associated with self-repair kits. Even under the best of circumstances, with the best of expertise, one must expect self-repair kits sold to the mass market to fail 5%? 10%? of the time?
In addition to what the other replies said I'd like to offer the following observation:

Lambda is the control plane running inside an "AWS OS" context, that means it has access to internal apis with scoped permissions. Most commonly people discuss user facing lambdas on the edge, however you are not obligated to expose it to the world.

If you do choose to go the cloud route understand that your account activities generate quite a lot of data. Simplest example would be custom CloudWatch events generated from say autoscaling groups i.e. "Server 23 has ram usage above some moving average threshold" => kick off lambda => custom logic (send email/slack, reboot server, spin up more instances, whatever).

People who like middle brow dismissals would say "what does it matter where the script runs, it could just as easily be running on the instance itself" - to them I say, pain is the best teacher. :)
Probably to discourage reaction, to increase the signal to noise ratio.

In cases it's 100% necessary you can use asciiart or a link to imgur or something.
I'm doing something similar although I don't think smart meters in the UK come with a debug port sadly - so I'm scraping a third party API instead.

No, trying to influence governments to create a legal right to repair is literally politics. Take a step back and look at all the negative connotations you've apparently attached to the word "political." The FSF and EFF are also political organizations.

Partnering with Apple who is against right to repair creates a situation where they might have to choose the money from Apple or their right to repair aspirations.

Comparing compression ratios is tricky. What you usually want is "file size at same visual quality" or "visual quality as same file size" for comparisons. The problem here is that "visual quality" is in the eye of the beholder, Different base images will have different results.

There are some attempts at such comparisons, e.g. https://cloudinary.com/blog/how_jpeg_xl_compares_to_other_im... (cloudinary might be biased, as they are a major driver behind jpeg-xl)

My overall impression is that it's roughly on par or a little behind with AVIF, somewhat ahead of HEIC and very ahead of WEBP (and jpeg of course) in quality-per-byte.

As for encode and decode speed, it's a bit slower than WEBP but beats AVIF and HEIC by a margin (unless these codecs are back by hardware encoders). However, all three codecs are relatively new and there may be a lot of future speed optimizations possible. Especially jpeg-xl, which isn't "backed" by general AV1 (AVIF), vpx (WEBP) or HEVC (HEIC) research, may have a particularly large yet to be tapped potential for (hardware-specific) optimizations. As far as I know, jpeg-xl is also "simpler" than those other codecs (which basically used the iframes of their complex sibling video codecs as a base), so it might be more feasible to have more competing implementations.

But time will tell, and it will of course also largely depend on the adoption and thus network effects of these formats who much "love" each format receives from open source and proprietary software vendors.

This artice just begs more questions:

Why did it take VPNOverview's team a day to notify them?

What did VPNOverview do with all that data until they notified Grink and afterwards?

Why did it take Grink 22 days to secure the files?

Why does the article describe the above as "as swiftly as possible"?

Can Grink be fined/sued over this, or is that only possible once there is 'actual damage' proven?

John D. Rockefeller was at the peak of his wealth in 1909, with over $900 million (in 1909 dollars). Doesn’t sound like much today—just your run-of-the-mill almost-billionaire. But that fortune represented about 5% of the TOTAL GDP of the U.S. in about 1910. That is obscenely GARGANTUAN.

If we were to translate 5% of the 2020 U.S. GDP today, that would be 5% of $20.807 trillion. Or about $1.404 trillion. So Bezos, with his $182.2 billion and Musk with his $264.6 billion, have A LONG way to go to catch up with Rockefeller.
This kind of thing is going to further disassociate nurses from interacting like a human with their patients. If you risk criminal prosecution and prison time from making a mistake, everyone starts walking on eggshells and become afraid of doing anything beyond box ticking. They'll start turning a blind eye to things they know are wrong, because the system doesn't see them. All work will align towards pure compliance with the law and the hospital system at the expense of intimate connection with patients.

And of course, a lot of nurses are in the job for the human connection, and will consequently be burned out at an increasing rate.

To some degree this might actually be good long term, because it will be that much harder for hospitals to manipulate nurses into working around the limitations of the system to provide real care, which allows the administration to turn a blind eye to their own flaws. There's going to be a surge of malicious compliance that ends up shining a bright spotlight on just how abusive and dysfunctional hospital systems really are.

And patients will ultimately be the ones who suffer.

As someone that was there at Heroku after the acquisition, I don't think you can state that since the acquisition it's been consistently downhill. There isn't much debate that things have stagnated in the last 5-7 years which is a longer story on why probably.

Some examples of innovation that happened and were launched after the acquisition: buildpacks (at the time of acquisition Heroku was still Ruby only), Heroku Postgres launched forks/followers/dataclips all after the acquisition, review apps came several years after. Salesforce may have had an eventual hand in it, but there was still a lot of innovation happening due to the folks there in the near to mid-term after the acquisition for several years.

All that said, very excited for the new crop of players in the space. There are a number of companies trying to be a cheaper or more stable Heroku. Personally I'm excited about the ones that are taking their own unique approach. https://www.fly.io and https://www.railway.app are two that to me seem to bring their own perspective vs. just trying to recreate Heroku as a carbon copy clone. There are a number more in the jamstack space that have become staples such as Netlify and Vercel which are also doing great things.

Oh, absolutely. I wouldn't recommend it casually to everyone, but if someone says "hey, I want to learn to host my own mail, but everyone tells me I shouldn't", I'm totally going to recommend they do it. If they have the desire to learn, it's likely (not certain! but likely) that they'll succeed.

I do think that most of the effort/risk is at the beginning. Making sure you're on a reputable provider, checking the history of your IP, setting your mail server & the security features up correctly, monitoring deliverability etc.

After everything is working well, if you got that part right, the ongoing effort should basically just be keeping software up-to-date. You could always get unlucky and e.g. someone starts sending spam on a nearby IP and you have to waste some time dealing with that, but hopefully if you picked your provider well that won't happen. It's yet to happen to me, but my provider only offers dedicated servers, which are probably not so popular with spammers.

Super interesting, thanks! This is also a good companion video -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzWB5jL5RX0 -- about the feasibility of cracking Enigma "in 2021" i.e. using computational power available to us today.

TLDW & AFAIK: it's crackable (just as it was back then, using a bag of approaches & heuristics), but you still couldn't plain brute force an encrypted message today if you didn't have any portion of the plain text, the Enigma was using 10 plugboard pairs, etc.

You need to have a domain name with the DMARC information in the TXT DNS record. Also most large email providers have some sort of separate "registration" process that internally helps them perform heuristics. For example, Google calls this "Google Postmaster Tools" [1].

I am ALSO an immortal player.

> And a slightly bad decision can lose the whole game.

A slightly bad reaction time can lose an entire game. When you're looking at pro games - where real money is on the line - you want the player who has the same decision making ability as other highly ranked players but ALSO the ability to react really quickly. Failed to disjoint a projectile in time? International lost. Didn't pop your BKB in time? International lost. Didn't hex a puck or ember fast enough? International lost.

Like, sure, again... you can go really far in dota with poor reaction speed. I'm 30, for example. But when it comes down to creating a five man team to compete for money then very few teams are going to pick up older players on the chance that they might not react fast enough. Old man fear was called old man fear for a reason.

Also, this makes me really curious about what the age composition is for immortal top 100s for each region. How many are there over the age of 30?
Any citations or rationale for this?
Real Estate will have to deal with exorbitant valuations and actual interest rates for the first time in a decade.
Agriculture makes sense (people need to eat just as much now as ever and there are some global supply issues which will help producers in certain countries).
Industrial (this is too big to call a sector). Automotive will have a tough time as consumer spending drops and loans start to actually cost money. Semiconductor is a crap shoot (a lot of uncertainty). Aerospace is looking grim, but government support is typically forthcoming.
Energy. The forecast is bright for energy right now, but we are currently in a moment of high inflation, low unemployment and a war involving a large petroleum exporter. If unemployment rises, then energy becomes less promising. Times are good now but not always.

On a historical note, I would add:
Biotech: Development times are long. Products will come online that were developed during the peak. Also startups become more affordable when competing industries flag.
Entertainment: the movie business has historically weathered most recessions pretty well. They can release things that were already made during the fatter years.
Education: Historically this has done well during recessions (people who lose their jobs go back to school). Unclear if this will be as likely at this stage since the prices are not exactly favorable.
