Yes, I was only indicating the affiliation and possible non-obvious agenda.

Imagine BP or Shell were operating a website greentechtoday.peace without this relationship being very obvious at all, and an article about some specific technology appeared on that website and was linked here on HN.

Personally, if I weren't aware of the affiliation I would appreciate for it to be pointed out to me - and so I'm doing exactly that for others here.
Like the other commenter said, the problem here isn't a lack of observance, but the punishment for asking about reasons.
Off-topic but maybe here will knows:

I like to use simpler tools, so I'm wondering if there's a more stripped down test tool, sort of like Preact versus React?

For node-based testing I like Ava, but is there a simple tool for browser-based testing?
Google Cloud released a new database product (AlloyDB)
So this is a thing. Google launched a new database product today at Google I/O. #GoogleAlloyDB is a new managed #PostgreSQL compatible database. Optimized for heavy workloads, it's got some significant improvements across the board, and in particular it handles heavy read workloads without affecting write performance.

The launch blog is here ↓

https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/databases/introducing-alloydb-for-postgresql

And there's a blog post about how the storage layer has been optimized for some of the performance improvements ↓

After looking through Docusaurus, GitBook, and a few others, I also ended up with mkdocs and github pages. It’s very straightforward to setup.

OMG. I was just about to start my own Markdown parser because I needed custom elements and I was finding too hard to work with existing "customizable" Markdown parsers.

Also, I needed a React renderer for React-Native and I was also about to write my own.

By the looks of it, I will be able to just use Markdoc.

> heart-breakingly tragic

African Americans are glad to be living in the US, and they're deeply enmeshed in the fabric of American society. Slavery was a bad part of history (and of the present where it still exists) but it's not more "heart-breakingly tragic" that a large number of African Americans today live on fertile land in the Old South any moreso than a large number of Aficans living on all sorts of land including not-so-fertile in Africa.
If you provide a non-opinionated base platform, users will add opinions, and those will not all be compatible with each other.

Not adding GC or not defining how exceptions work could easily lead to a situation where you want to use a couple of third-party libraries, but discover they, combined, use three different garbage-collecting memory allocators and two different ways to handle exceptions, even where function overloading works differently in different libraries.

As an example, look at string implementations in various C programs. Even if they if they boil down to a pair (int, malloced memory), you still might not be able to pass one obtained from a function in one library to a function in another library.
Given that we're already seeing plastics inside human blood and fetuses, I don't think we could really say how manageable that state would be
Not sure if you've ever seen the POH for a C172, but it is thick. Example: https://www.montereynavyflyingclub.org/Other%20Docs/Cessna-1...

Personally, ATC is your best bet here. I'd say a lot of people who have ever flown a flight simulator can get the plan low and slow enough to not cause death upon impact. I would anticipate a bumpy landing, some injury and a lost plane...so this outcome is pretty impressive imo.
Pithy, but also not true. If a bank goes belly up, your average Joe’s bank account is first in line (via deposit insurance), as are employee entitlements.

Coinbase is most decidedly not a bank, which is why the former doesn’t apply.

Pity that you ditched it. I recently had zipper replaced at a clothing repair shop on my quality old trusted winter jacket.. thought it would be very expensive, but it was not.

As for your experience with the new North Face jacket. That is my experience too. Brands that were known for quality are now 'just brands' and that's what you pay for: the logo.
To be clear, I was attempting to point to external data to explain why people in this thread might be hesitant to explain their views in full detail. Sorry if it came across as misleading.
I'm glad that strategy worked out for you. It's very easy to get sucked into something (anything), it becoming your entire world, and everything triggering a life or death stress response, when in reality it's not a problem. Being able to take distance from a situation as you mention, and remember that you're just sitting in an office and it's not like you're literally about to die is a very important skill to have.

However, many people don't have it, or just get too apathetic about the job if they detach like that, and live very stressful lives. I've personally seen it happen several times.
> If there's a manual up there, then maybe that will have info?

Many (most?) airlines have abandoned printed manuals and paperwork in cockpits and have switched to tablets - often iPads - for weight considerations and because they are easier to just keep updated, and those are usually non-accessible to random passengers. Notable exception are emergency checklists.
> But I don't know (m?)any which feel they get too little if put in context of jobs outside of IT.

I don't think the reference point is outside of the software industry; rather, it's other organizations that pay disproportionately well. When you hear of devs at large tech companies earning $400k+ salaries, it's hard not to feel underpaid if you're earning less than half that, even when your own salary is incredibly comfortable by most other measures.

> Or at least where I live in the EU? Did the living cost in the US explode to a point where a 100k$ salary isn't enough to reasonable nicely rise a kid?

Again, this is missing the point a little, but I will add that $100k won't get you very far in San Francisco.
They're a bit low on charismatic bullshitters right now, and the tech got better enough that gains are small.
> the hardest thing for me was mastering landing. Something about it just wouldn't click for many hours ... some kids fly for the first time quite naturally

There's probably a big component of natural ability here. Some people are just better at certain things. If you're not one of them, you may be able to train yourself to a competent level of performance, but you'll never be as good as a "natural." It's somthing that takes a bit of self-awareness and humility to admit, and some people never do.
I wonder what the author would have preferred to the visual litter of `unsafe` blocks? Can you use `unsafe` to mark off entire scopes to avoid having to redeclare it? Seems unavoidable in a project that is meant to heavily interoperate with a C99 code base like Ruby.

Cargo having to phone home all the time sounds annoying, though. I hope that gets improved, though I know the cargo team is swamped right now.
It was a cessna with two passengers. I would assume that the passenger at minimum has a pilot/ flight enthusiast in their life.
I think 4 examinations a year for any pilot over 60 is not unreasonable. Because only one examination a year for a 70yo is definitely absurdly unreasonable.

I think in the author's phrasing, you'd minimize churn by maximizing the value proposition of your offer for customers looking at renewal or cancellation.

I know it's popular to think of customer acquisition and customer retention as entirely separate topics. Tilt your point of view just bit and with a subscription service you're really acquiring not one or even two kinds of customers. It's three. In one instance, you're acquiring fresh customers who aren't familiar yet with the product class and are getting started. In another, you may be luring customers away from other, similar services. Finally, come renewal time you're sort of reacquiring your existing users. The decision the customer makes in any of these scenarios is different from the other two. It's still your job to get as many potential customers to decide on your offer in each of them.

As someone who considers themselves a huge environmentalist this video is unfortunately sort of bullshit.

1. He claims that the entire "outdoor" movement was created by Oil and Gas which I think we know is total BS. Humans have been exploring the outdoors long before oil and gas - hunting - exploring - etc.

2. While TNF does definitely produce a ton of crap (and is really not my favourite brand in general) there is just currently no better substitute performance wise for petroleum based products in many areas. You can make a lot out of natural materials but a nice and lightweight waterproof jacket is not really one of them.

3. The original founder of the TNF (now deceased) bought tons and tons of land throughout Chile for years that people thought was for malicious ends. It turned out to be, however, that they were instead intending to donate the land to create even more natural parks (which Chile already has a ton of). Not a small amount of land here - we are talking quite a bit.

The "outdoor industry" in general has pretty much all of the problems he lists and tons of companies don't do shit in reality to help the environment. Would I prefer for all of these companies to stop making so much VOLUME of product and instead focus on quality and longevity and for consumers to focus more on buying used and second hand products? Of course. But this doesn't seem intended to really focus on that at all and is just a hit piece specifically on TNF. Who is paying for this advertisement and what is their motivation?

Why not focus instead on the problems of the outdoor industry in general?

SV COL is high, but I don't think it is high enough to explain SV pay.

Looking at a few non-SV cities such as Seattle, Chicago, Nashville, Orlando, Sacramento, Austin, and Fresno it costs $14-18k/year more to rent a 1 bedroom apartment in the Bay Area than to rent in those other places.

The average monthly spending on food in SF is about $150/month more than the US average. That's under $2K/year.

California does have a high income tax. For someone moving from somewhere else to California you might have to pay them maybe 10% more to compensate for that.

Putting it all together, a job that pays around $100k/year in non-SV non-NY decent sized cities should need to pay if we are generous maybe around $140k/year due to higher COL in the Bay Area.

That Bay Area tech pay is way more than that suggests that something other than SV COL is the main factor.
Does anyone know why the EU is doing this? Everyone knows that the children thing is a pathetic excuse, but why do they want surveillance? I highly doubt that messaging is a big risk to EU stability. So why make such an effort?

> Unlike C, Rust won’t automatically promote integer types to wider types. It forces you to manually cast any mismatching integer types for every operation

> Rust's insistence on manual casting everywhere encourages people to write inefficient code, because writing verbose code feels uncomfortable and adds friction.

This reads a lot to me like "we like how easy it is to create bugs in C. We'd like to be able to do that in Rust, too." But maybe I'm misunderstanding. I'm sure these people know a lot more about the consequences of implicit integer casting than I do.
This is a solid approach; used several times in my previous adtech companies to distribute a large amount of core data to every server instance.
Not to disagree with you, but to put a finer point on it...

I feel like the characters are not "paragons of virtue" because they are not meant to be imitated. That is a common mistake by both fans and detractors of Rand. Nor are the characters meant to be representations of abstract ideas. They are just characters, complex ones. But like any good writer---say Hugo or Dostoevsky---the author is putting part of himself or herself into the characters and thus the characters have a morality to them that reflects the views of the author.

I feel like calling the characters "problematic examples" may be overstating it a bit. For example, Jean Valjean in Les Miserables is a heroic character who has a character arc where he learns from his mistakes and his character becomes more heroic over time. Rand's "good" characters are like that. Her "neutral" or "bad" characters don't learn from their mistakes. (edit: Well, some of the relatively neutral ones actually do, and have positive arcs.)

FYI, Rand hated libertarians and rejected libertarianism.

Still, a lot of libertarians claim to like her, and don't understand that their political views resemble only a small subset of her overall philosophy---and even then, it's more of a resemblance than actual agreement.
Seriously though, all of these russophobic eastern european countries are like: "Russia took our lands".

First of all, it was not Russia but USSR who took your lands; second, USSR did not give these lands to Russia (even in the form of RSFSR) but to other russophobic eastern european countries.

HTTP 402 is like Hashcash[1] - greatly underrated and/or unknown, and yet extremely effective in solving its target problem.

In 402's case, if it was, say, legislated by the government, then the following would happen:

(1) Users wouldn't be bait-and-switch'ed by a paywall that revealed part of the content before appearing

(2) Companies would need to band together to implement a micropayments framework

(3) Lasseiz-faire maximalists wouldn't be able to complain because the only requirement would be that paywalls be signalled by an HTTP status code

The only potential downside is that companies might, instead of making a common micropayments API, instead just use Google, or even worse, not use any common platform and instead make consumers sign up for a new account for each site.

An RF power meter or spectrum analyzer. It would be very clear if a device is radiating enough RF energy to make a connection.

Battery life is another giveaway, I've had android phones turned off in a drawer for months and they still have nearly 100% charge when turned back on. If they were using enough power to make any kind of cell connection, the battery would be dead in a few days.

The link you have there even says "When your phone is turned off or runs out of battery, you won’t be able to track its real-time location"
The point of analogy is that it's very different from the actual issue. In fact, an analogy will always be different from the real situation, otherwise it wouldn't be an analogy, it would be the thing in itself.

There is nothing contradictory in using an analogy to illustrate a specific point (in this case, how a lender may be hesitant to lend something to a borrower even if the borrower acted unwisely with a small part of the money that was lent to them), and pointing out that the analogy is not the same as the actual situation.

However viewing it as Machiavellian/adversarial makes me feel like you have the wrong perspective on social skills. Fostering a culture of trust and connectedness is the key; deception is part of the game but no more than a tiny percentage of it.
> Associated Press, 18 November, 1993

I would argue that statements made 30 years ago are irrelevant to the current debate, considering that would also bring into discussion every opinion held by GOP operatives over that time period and boy that ain't pretty.

Im generally opposed to equating LGBT issues to gun-control issues. This dichotomy was brought up by a previous comment and I dont really want to get bogged down in the issue. After all, one is an issue of bodily autonomy and freedom of expression, and the other is an issue of "what do we do about this thing that is expressly designed to harm other humans".

My personal views on gun control aren't really reflected by any sitting member in congress, and I will admit that a lot of debate on both sides are largely reactionary and you can take impassioned statements from either side out of context. Fine. I will still hold that the right will shut down at any nuanced discussion of the issue, which I see as the main problem. If the GOP took a principled but open-minded stance, you could negotiate down from the reactionary Dem position down to one that thinks critically about privacy as you suggest... but the GOP doesn't allow that discussion.

> That said, which LGBT rights do you think they oppose?

My right to self expression. My right to live a life of my choosing without fear of retaliation. My right to tell others about my existence. As evidenced by objections to bills that would enshrine my safety in finding employment and healthcare. As evidenced by politicians that equate my speech to pedophilia. Are my rights to safety and speech privileges given only to cis/straight people? What are the "common sense" regulations to me living my life? Do you see how I may not agree with the false equivalency of gun rights and lgbt rights?
Machiavelli gets a bad rap.

Machiavelli saw these people

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Medici

as being a corrupting influence on Italy and advised any would-be prince that if they didn't really watch their back they would lose their kingdom. Machiavelli was particularly opposed to the religious idea that injustice in this world is acceptable because God will dispense justice in the next world. Machiavelli thought that if a good king was deposed then evil would win 100% of the time so the good king had to be a realist.
I quite enjoyed The Battle of Polytopia -- it's a very cut down Civ style game.

Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War is enjoyable too -- it's quite simplified (the space marines can only build the one city, as appropriate for a 40k game there's zero diplomacy, etc).

Warlock - Master of the Arcane is a Master of Magic spiritual successor, and I found it a lot less taxing than Civilization in the late game.
I literally didn't know it was going on. I usually tune in for at least a little bit each year, and went back when they launched Android for tablets.
Its relative - high PE, high growth multiple stocks (such as YC IPOs) have generally been reverting to mean. Most stocks that were already at the mean w.r.t. PE are still sticking to the mean with flat earnings.

What needed correcting is getting corrected. What was correct is staying correct.

The rise in interest rates means that companies that have been producing their own cash can fund growth initiatives internally. Companies who were funding growth initiatives using outside capital (debt, VC investment) are now going to be paying 10%+ to do so.
This is a great point that is rarely mentioned. China has larger population than India yet has a much shorter backlog so is it really the fault of the US immigration system that India has a long backlog? The Indian outsourcing industry and India’s lower level of economic development are parts of the problem.
> allow for … digital payments that are, in my opinion, an order of magnitude easier to use than PayPal, etc.

Genuine question, what friction do you experience with PayPal that is so bad that something can become an order of magnitude easier? I use a password manager to fill in my PayPal creds if I want to pay with PayPal and it is very easy for me.
As a citizen of another shithole-country passport holder (living in country other than US) I can't agree more. I don't get why people make it as if USA is the only beacon of hope. It's just another country.

Now that the world is diversified, globalized and everything is connected with the internet, I don't understand why people have to cling so much to the American idea of success. Are people living outside really that unsuccessful? I don't see any problem with what USA is doing. It's their country, let them do their thing. As long as US is open to trade and exchange, everyone is winning! They made so many great things and everyone can reap benefit out of it.

I hypothesize that it's the generational problem that got passed to other people because of globalized world. Everyone has equal access of information. Just 20 years ago, when people had less information, they were probably more content with the local things. But the result of globalization is people tend to be blinded. They starting ignoring opportunities. I realized that even few people from rich country think that it's only in the US where they can be successful.

I feel it's like how people moved from farms to cities then to another countries. Now the time has changed and the new city is US. I think every place has their own flaws and gains, but life will just keep on going. I believe we should learn to be more gratuitous and be thankful for what we have.
