Ok, the truth on the Jobs one is significantly more nuanced. Not everything is public. I don’t think it was a friendly thing haha.
Zerodha built a market leading company with conservative tech choices, about 30 devs, and no VC funding. Conservatively estimated to be worth about $2 billion, last I checked.

Very hard to pull this off, especially in a market like India, with a lot of stupid money folks chasing companies with flimsy / non existent business models.

Pardon my ignorance. How does it get passed down in the case of regular births?
Do we actually have high employment at the moment?

The way I understand the current situation, one one hand there was a lot of covid money and on the other hand a lot of people were fired by their companies during covid. This in turn made them unwilling to go back and work the same job, on the same salary as before, for a company which preferred to cater to their profits than to their employees.
I'm aware (and that's what we use) but it still suffers the same issues. To use it with deep nested queries, you essentially need to use something like Apollo which can rewrite queries for enumeration where it doesn't re-query the things from the original query that it already has cached.

However, what I'm referring to - and I'm not sure if it has a better name - is the type of cursor where you can create it, then enumerate it separately, across multiple requests.

In pseudocode it would be something like:

let c = db.users(name like 'c%').groups(memberCount > 50).members # request 1
while c.any():
c.fetch(max=50) # request 2+

Of course, for that to work, the entire state of the query needs to be encapsulated within that cursor or saved in some temporary session variable on the server. It also doesn't really fit into GraphQL's model right now.

I seem to recall Hacker News actually used something similar for pagination back in the day, and if you left a page open for too long then tried to press next, you got an invalid continuation error or something to that effect. Not sure if that was something similar...

This is a good point. I don’t think companies can have gentleman’s agreements to not compete with each other.

Unless you believe a company like Plaid is entitled to a monopoly and should be free from any semblance of competition, I don't see a problem with that.

Fecal transplants do not happen during birth. How would that occur?

However, it is commonly believed that vaginal fluid getting in the mouth of the infant is a mechanism for passing down flora between mother and child.

We have people born on third base that think they hit a triple. Billionaires that were born as millionaires and think they worked hard for their money.
You cannot trust the query issuer (Browser or App on the client). If you have a public GraphQL API, you need to enforce these rules. If you can just alter the query to bypass the business rule, this is called a security hole.
This is an amazing idea. So original and yet so simple and "obvious" in a way... Excellent execution, too. Bravo.

I lived in a part of town that was in the process of infill so a lot of people “knew” it without really knowing it.

It was practically a given that the first time someone visited they would arrive 15-20 minutes later than they estimated. It seemed like an area without a lot of traffic but it was in that uncanny valley where there’s enough traffic where you catch a lot of lights, and you aren’t turning right on red because there are people in front of you, and you may or may not make the left turn light on the first cycle.

Also the whole city is so tuned for one direction of traffic that it takes longer to go across the narrow dimension than the long one.

There was a movie theater that I found I could reliably get to faster on a Friday evening if I drove five blocks past it and doubled back, the lights were that screwed up. 15 blocks faster than 5.

Why would they, join an economic union that has a political layers with negative benefits?

Better to partner with Norway, Switzerland, to develop some kind of meaningful coherence on trade issues with the EU and especially focus 1) on the US, the current superpower where there's obviously deep resonance 2) and especially Asia where all of the growth is, particularly India, Singapore and Hong Kong where UK has deep ties.

Joining EU makes sense for Ukraine and even Serbia, not necessarily others.

Some people are documented as surviving in freezing temperatures for extended periods, yes.

This is what you would expect from freezing. It preserves things. The difficulty with freezing is getting back up to normal temperatures safely. (And the creation of ice crystals, which can be very damaging.)

Interesting. That wiki page used to (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Race_and_intellig...) link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nations_and_IQ (the link has since been removed)

That page used to have maps from three different sources on average IQ by nation (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nations_and_IQ&ol...)

Yes there is generally a bias towards "do something" and if you've done something obviously it helps (so it seems people think).

Then again, it seems like in general the biggest gut bacteria problems come from an overpopulation of one type and not enough diversity which intervention seems less likely to cause.

There are also parasites which could be transferred but I really doubt that this would happen accidentally (hookworms, tapeworms, other things I don't know about).

But this is always a good thought.

If some treatment has the capability to actually help, it also has the capability to harm, there really isn't such thing as something which is exclusively good regardless of how you use it.
In weight watchers (yes, weight watchers), we classified certain foods as "red flag foods"; these were foods that we _knew_ we could not control ourselves around. The kind of food where you have one, and then suddenly you've finished the bag/box.

I tend to agree with you: if it's there, you're going to go for it. We all have things like this. "Cleaning your plate" is a good metaphor, but I'm betting you don't "clean your plate" when it comes to exercise or other things that may be less enjoyable.

Identify the things in your life that are red flags, and consciously keep them out of your life. It's hard at first, but soon, you don't even miss them.
This is a strange comment. This is literally how business and competition works, and how customers benefit as a result. No doubt it sucks to have a product competed with but that's just business. Of all areas on the Internet I'd have expected those on HN to understand, as it's run by a VC who is all about disruption of the competition.
So many threads on HN are basically "What does neurodiversity look like?"
You're confusing technological energy production (~10^13 W) with climate heating, which is two orders of magnitude larger (~10^15 W). The heat released from burning carbon fuels isn't significant. The modulating effect of the CO2 released on radiative heat transfer is far more powerful. Like a weak current driving a high-gain amplifier.

So you agree that saying the UK media largely ignored the Snowden story is incorrect? As mentioned The Guardian was one of the principle outlets of the disclosures led by Ewen MacAskill.

The Guardian ignored the D-Notices and survives to this day - both facts undermine the point of the article that the system breaks independent British journalism.

This article stinks, is there any way to downvote it any further?
Broader questions for the author:

- Is entertainment a waste of time?

- What's "too much" when we talking about entertainment consumption? Where is the limit?

I couldn't initially find the answer because I was looking for a calculation to find the answer instead of just a sentence out of the blue with the answer
I think a corollary to this is the relatively modern idea that life needs purpose in the form of measurable accomplishments.

Looking back at how most people lived their lives, it was sustenance, interspersed with things like family, religion, and friendship (if you were lucky). Nearly nobody owned much, nearly nobody 'did cool things,' nearly nobody was famous.

They all just had a part of life (surviving) that they knew was bad and hard work, then they tried as hard as they could to escape that briefly.

Now, we expect work to be fulfilling and non-work to be fulfilling. For the majority of people where that isn't true, it feels really depressing, which is compounded by the fact that society pushes you to spend more time on improving the work side of things (which again for most people will not be intrinsically fulfilling no matter how hard they try), so they end up feeling lonely and sad.
Haha touché. Ok then, I won't disturb you circles in the sand as it were. Have a good evening.

Ask HN: Would You Pay for Privacy?
Hi HN,

I’m tinkering and working on an app that solves a very common problem that many of you face (would tell you more but I’m building in stealth right now). I want it to be accessible to as many people as possible so I’m looking to offer a free version, with a twist.

I’m exploring different business models, and I’m interested if any of you would be willing to pay for privacy. For free users, I’d aggregate and anonymize user data, and for those that care about privacy, I’d offer a premium version, which collects no data / offers enhanced privacy, along with a few other features.

Assuming that this is an application that you’d find useful, would you:

1. Use it for free - you don’t care about privacy (or care enough to pay)

2. Pay for privacy - if so, how much would you be willing to pay monthly (assume the app is comparable to social media or a search engine)?

3. Won’t use it at all (even if you assume it’ll be useful) - if not, why?

More food for thought:

4. If you could pay Google not to collect your data, would you?

5. If you could pay Instagram not to collect your data, would you?

6. If you could pay Facebook not to collect your data, would you?

Curious what you all think about this approach. Thanks for your time!!
Plug any random monitor into one of those 2019 MBP 16" models, and there's a good chance it'll spin up its fans to the max in an attempt to escape, and failing that, passively resist further abuse by overheating and throttling itself to a standstill.

This might just be them overtightening in response to that problem of old (whilst continuing to deny its existence, of course heh).

Edit: Plugging in an external monitor (not all of them, seems random) will cause the laptop's GPU to instantly 4x its powerdraw to about 20 watts, which then lasts for the duration of that connection.

Ideas are not free. Good execution is better than good ideas alone, true. But ideas can definitely be worth a lot.
The why is easy. I mean, you basically have infinite entertainment and information at your fingertips. And it's all tailored to your interests. This is unprecedented. I don't think anything comes remotely close in human history.
No, I avoid technical aspects of everything. Discussion of social aspects is more important. For example, trying to convince a conversational partner of your correctness about some technical details that spawned an argument is just a distraction from a discussion about the argument.
Not anymore, but I ran an in-house shared hosting environment for Wordpress sites for years. We leased hardware from Rackspace, ran VMs on top, and directly managed WP on the LAMP stack.

The first key to WP application security is to stick to popular plugins and install patches as fast as possible. The vast, vast majority of Wordpress problems involved known vulnerabilities. “Fail secure” was our approach: better to install patches ASAP and then deal with side effects, than to defer too long and risk getting hacked.

The 2nd key is to configure caching and use a CDN partner to soak up load and defend against DDOS. We used DosArrest but I think Cloudflare would be the obvious choice these days.

If you want to be even more secure, don’t let WP write to its own application files except for a few minutes when you’re installing updates. But, this is not standard and therefore a pain to manage.

Or, do what we did and get out of the hosting business. All our WP sites run at WP Engine now and they take care of a ton of performance and security work for us. Still have to stay on top of patches though.
I'm the opposite. Anything I create in a GUI builder is going to look like ass, with potentially misaligned widgets unless there's automatic widget alignment. And of course, things built in VB did not handle window resizing or different resolutions/DPI very well...

Now, Tcl/Tk... which lets me just code up a GUI declaratively, feed it to a REPL, and get results that look... less like ass... that's a JATO bottle for UI productivity that's unmatched by anything.
Right now it's because I don't want to go and do the thing that makes me sad to even think about. Sometimes it's because I am frustrated with the thing I'm supposed to be doing. Well, now I will go make food and tell myself I will do the sad thing afterwards.

If anything, this shows that Stripe's competitors believe that Stripe is competently managed. If Google announced a product in this space, Plaid's CEO would have yawned. Google announced a Slack competitor that would be a free addition to its business suite in 2017, and Slack IPO'd two years later at a $30 billion market cap. SPOT opened higher the day after Google announced YouTube Music. I remember when companies would worry that Google would compete with them, but if your product isn't something that can be served on the search results page, there was never anything to worry about.
This is really cool but I have some feedback: being able to drag the pieces removed all of the challenge, so it wasn’t really fun; only the bottom row will clear - this kind of breaks the game when not “cheating” with manually dragging pieces.

Overall, I think if you fixed those two points this would be a great and challenging game.

> A much better example of the benefits of slack would be a CEO who delegates the day to day work ... to give himself slack -- more time to think about big picture things and consider ways to change the organization to make it better.

That's not slack. As you just pointed out, that's his regular job. Slack is unscheduled time, not time that's devoted to performing your duties. The point of slack, anywhere, is that it lets you respond to situations that arise, by converting the unscheduled time into time in which you respond. If you're fully scheduled, that's difficult to do.
This genuinely seems like a good idea, though I wonder if the shade might contribute to other undesirable things (like breeding grounds for mosquitos?)
No, this is just a temp account because I mainly lurk HN. Given your previous tone, I wouldn't suggest accusing others of being part of an "angry mob".

They are both incredibly talented. I've watched dozens of hours of them programming and really enjoy their streams.

They are also both kind of assholes. Some people love that about them. I've certainly found myself really enjoying many of their rants.

Casey was pleasant enough in the github thread but he was less generous in his streams about this. He really did not like being talked down to (who would?) and spent a long time mocking them. They clearly did not know who Casey was or they probably wouldn't have tried to explain his concerns away (especially when they were wrong).

If you don't see arrogance on Casey's side though then I suspect you haven't watched enough of his streams. While he's very humble and will go out of his way to say when he doesn't know something, he's very arrogant in the subjects he knows well and will very openly mock anyone who isn't doing things as well as he expects them to (in an abstract sense, he doesn't really target individuals).

I find his attitude so frustrating sometimes because he clearly loves teaching and I can't think of another single programmer more generous with their time and knowledge but at the same time he cannot abide anyone not at his level.

I'm a fan of Casey and I really like Windows Terminal (compared to what we had before especially). This whole thing was not a good look for either side but on the plus side, Windows Terminal is now closer to being at Casey's level so I guess he ultimately won. I just wish instead he'd tried to contribute his ideas to Windows Terminal instead of spending hours programming his own toy terminal whose whole existence was to mock them. I don't think he has it in him to lower himself to that though.

Its 2022. Been 10 years in the industry. I cannot agree to this.

1 year of leetcode + 1 year of AWS positions me better for an offer from Amazon than a Masters degree.

Thank you! It has been absolutely mind-boggling going through the comments.

Ok I get you now, yes you are correct, if you have a public API and you have business constraints that need to be enforced, you have to do this server side.

But you can still implement this easily in queries, so for example granting the client only read permissions, plus execution permissions on certain database functions, and inside these functions you can implement the constraints.

What I'm trying to say, is that you don't necessarily need any backend "services" java etc, to implement these type of constraints, they can be modelled as any other business logic in the database.
