I guess we know where their priorities lie. I mean, for years, republicans have championed corporate-friendly agendas like privatization of public resources and copyright maximalism, and now they are willing to undo it in order to stick it to LGBT& folks.

Note that for legal reasons many of the layoff announcements are HEAVILY scripted. It's possible that the "pre-recorded" message was a teleprompter read or something else that does not allow a lot of back and forth.

There are so many causes for legal action these days the announcements in general have to be very bland.

Note I forget who it was, but there was a post or short video a while back predicting exactly this - 10% layoffs. Some driven by sales, others by companies using the cover of the economy to drop folks they'd like to have rotated out etc. This sounds superficially sales related, but don't know how carvana is doing to judge

‘Stressed’ Cells Offer Clues to Eliminating Toxic Protein Build-Up in Dementia
Last time I checked it there was a docker-compose file for local deployment but you had to translate that to a working production env on your own. Which would include setting up the database, setting up Kong on edge-gateway, figuring out secrets management, filehosting and updates. One could argue that this is normal hoops to jump through when deploying open source ofc. It just felt way more laborious than the communication suggested.
One of the main features the "dashboard" was completely unavailable for self-hosted at the time. So you would not get quite the same experience compared to commercial (again this might be expected for OSS but is a little different from what might have been expected initially ).
I just checked and it seems now there is e.g. a (unofficial) k8s deployment plan so it so things might have improved.
In general it just felt like it was not the highest priority to get the self-hosted plan up to parity compared to the managed version.

I have no reason to believe that was anything other than the product not being quite ready for the aspirations of the team. There where some comments on on HN that called the Open-Source claims a marketing ploy. I strongly disagree with that notion and believe that the SB team is acting in good faith and that they will deploy some of that fresh capital to further strengthen the OSS story.

Time will tell :)

I do something similar with the subsonic protocol by locally hosting Airsonic[0] and listening with Strawberry Player[1] on Desktop and iSub[2] on iOS. Using Tailscale[3], I'm able to stream my library on the go. Best part is that all this infra is free and pretty hands-off maintenance-wise.

Child of the 90s here and my parents wouldn’t get cable TV.

This meant my access to movies was basically whatever was on broadcast TV that night or if I was really lucky whatever was available at our local video rental store.

I remember not always loving whatever movie we chose (or whatever was on TV) but I watched it because it’s what I had.

Now, like many others, I stare at the home screen of a few different services each night, start and stop a few different things, then give up.
> iPhones have no headphone jack so they're not suitable listening devices if you care about audio quality (or are willing to carry an external DAC).

The $9 official headphone dongle is a superior DAC to most audiophile products and has a bigger R&D budget than that entire industry. Same goes for Google’s USBC dongle.

You can still carry around an amp if you have very power hungry headphones though. Personally, I don’t think I could ABX lossy audio while outside dodging cars in the crosswalk.
>It's so odd to me that liberals, who seem to care a lot about women's rights, just flat out dismiss women who are genuinely concerned about being raped in prison by males who were secretly transferred to female prisons.

Really? Are there actual women who are genuinely concerned about this or is this a strawman invented by other people? You see this same issue with transwomen in sports. There is massive concern-trolling for women "who want a level playing field", but when you actually _ask_ women who compete with them (like in the case of Lia Thomas), they don't have a problem with it.

You are masking your transphobia in coddling for women who aren't even complaining about these issues. Women in prison are far more likely to be raped by law enforcement; but somehow the 3 or so transwomen who might sleep in the same cell as a woman is a bigger mark for the ACLU.

>I also hope that you don't point to school shootings to argue against the second amendment then.

I also feel like Google Maps has become incredibly slow, lagging behind my real location by seconds and then “snapping” back to where I really every several seconds. It’s disorienting and Google Maps used to be the one that didn’t have that problem and all the others did - now that’s reversed in my experience.
> It's just strenuous to watch the dynamics that be at play with little recourse, 's all.

I agree it's strenuous, very strenuous. But I think the notion of 'little recourse' is a product of modern social media. SV, the US, the civil rights movement, women's sufferage, etc. etc. weren't built on 'it's pointless and there's nothing we can do'. The modern reactionary movement - the far right tide - certainly doesn't think that and didn't think that when they were far on the fringe. Sometimes you get punched in the mouth, hard; you thought you were safe and now you're on the ground, stunned and traumatized. The question is what do we do then? The number one thing to do is get up, have faith in who you are and what you believe, and get into the fight.

I've just stopped reading that crap; it's amazing how a little distance can remind you of who you are and what you believe.
This is a really important part of figuring out if you want to get into EVE. CCP are terrible game designers. They're a "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" kind of game design studio. The market is a graveyard of items and associated mechanics that are design failures and are never to rarely relevant. They keep adding new mechanics that are broken, in balance and intended purpose. Their ship balancing team is two people.

But somehow this pile of crap mechanics by the sheer mass of them makes for an emergent sandbox. It feels not designed, like so many other video games. Systems that are not meant to interact with each other do in unexpected ways. Don't go in expecting every career path in EVE to have thought behind it. You have to figure that out.
Unity stock plunges 38% in after hours, returns to pre-IPO valuation
Coinbase is an atypical "tech" company to analyze because they're kind of like a bank: much of their asset sheet is driven by customer deposits. Apparently $738m of customer funds were withdrawn from Coinbase in the last 3 months. This is in comparison to an inflow of $2.35bn (!) in 21Q1.

As for expenses, there is a usual culprit in the $352m of stock-based comp. There's a large impairment expense of $229m, which is caused by their crypto asset holdings. Together, those make up $600m, and don't involve the transfer of money.

> Under GAAP, we are required to record impairment charges on our crypto assets held when the price falls below its cost basis.

FWIW they went from $17.6bn cash on hand to $16.1bn cash on hand.

Windows Explorer is exactly this, so this behavior is not at all foreign to Windows. The only meaningful difference in how these two UIs expose this same behind-the-scenes behavior (in recent versions) is that on Windows you have the option of removing Explorer from the taskbar if there are no open windows, while macOS Finder is always present in the dock.
Considering the outlet, if the Atlantic thinks that the ACLU is too aligned with Democratic Party politics, it probably is. I don't even know how this got published unless there's some behind-the-scenes jostling going on to replace the leadership, staged internally or by whale donors.
Well, don’t read too much into that. There are rude people everywhere.

From what I know, Brazil produces high-quality software developers/computer scientists (elixir and Lua come from Brazil).

Of course there are big social issues in Brazil but… aren’t there in all western countries? Poverty, unemployment, violence (maybe Brazil is an outlier in this case), etc.

Tech only gets you so far. Japan had a gigantic oil problem, even if they had developed supersonic jets at the end of the war they wouldn't have had the fuel to use them. Nice thing about kamikazes is that they use half the the fuel, since they don't need to return.

Just look at drones and FAA. That will kill any hopes on working something out. Especially considering that most new eVTOL are really just very large drones, pilot presence notwithstanding.
Nope, they're very different things. Database transactions protect you against data corruption if two commands try to modify the same row at the same time. Concurrency checks (which are arguably poorly named) prevent changes from being overwritten because someone attempts an update based on stale data.

Imagine that you're using an app to manage customer information. For whatever reason you need to update Jane Doe. You pull up her records and start to make the change, but then realize you're late for a meeting. Afterwards, you finish your changes but you notice that someone accidentally entered her name as lowercase ("doe"), so you correct it and save. Cool! Except it isn't cool, because while you were in your meeting she called in to change her name because she got married and is now Jane Smith. You just reverted her back to Jane Doe. If the app included concurrency checks, it would've used something like the SQL Server rowversion column type or the Postgres xmin system column to detect that Jane's data had been modified after you loaded her user record, and you'd have gotten an error prompting you to refresh the page and make your changes again.

It's one of those things that happens a lot more often than you might think in the real world, but yet it's rare enough (or not considered a major problem) so that many apps get away with ignoring it entirely.

No, it's just not framing the entire economic question around taxes. There are many, many other factors. You can live in places with no taxes at all, but people don't choose to.

Tesorio (YC S15) Is Hiring Senior Quality Engineers and Product Managers
What isn't plunging lately?
When things are good you don't need to have any checks on spending. Poach engineers from FAANGs and pay them any salary they want. Hand out fat RSU packages to employees. Have no checks on expense reimbursements and discretionary spending by managers. Let your IT/infra costs balloon. Spend frivolously on sales and marketing without no measures or expectation of RoI.

It is inevitable that employees are going to (or already are) see a lot of tightening in all these areas now.

If you're looking at trailing 12-months it isn't negative yet. I can't predict the future so I don't know if they're going to continue losing money or if this is just one negative quarter.

I don't know much about what is "hot" in crypto exchanges, but FTX is saturating sports commercials and getting high-profile endorsers like Steph Curry and Tom Brady and sponsoring the Miami Heat arena. Crypto.com has the naming rights for the area that hosts the LA Lakers, LA Clippers, LA Kings, and LA Sparks as well as sponsorships of the Philly 76ers, Montreal Canadiens, UFC, and the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Even if you believe strongly in crypto, Coinbase seems to be losing mindshare to competitors who are spending big. While some marketing spending might be considered foolish by some (I already know that Gillette exists and generally know what razors are available), with crypto they're probably targeting a lot of customer acquisition in a very new market. If FTX and Crypto.com become the faces of crypto to every sports fan looking to buy crypto, that seems like it would be a problem for Coinbase.

Coinbase might be better or worse than those other two, but as someone who has been watching sports I can tell you that FTX and Crypto.com are very front-and-center. If crypto is looking to attract lots of new buyers, it seems like FTX and Crypto.com are doing the marketing to make them first in people's heads.
As you can easily check, Mr. Breyer's website has been at the top of HN multiple times in the past year or so, and invariably the comment section becomes an anti-EU pitchfork party based on nothing more than the linked text and various unhelpful stereotypes. Comments like yours, which justifiably ask for a primary source, have never been getting the attention they deserve.

So let me explicitly go against the grain here: I believe the linked text to be fear-mongering and I also believe that the EU will not "break secure encryption" (or make it illegal) in the foreseeable future. And if Mr. Breyer or anyone else would like to convince me of the alternative then please show me some concrete evidence first.

I have been using Google maps for years to drive from my place to my parents place which takes roughly 7 hours traveling across the midwest of the US. It used to take a rather minimal number of different highways.

Recently though it decided to take me on an extremely annoying new route that has me going through a bunch of tiny seemingly abandoned towns with lots of backroads and even unpaved roads all to save less than 5 minutes.

Now I have to make absolute sure I select the proper route beforehand. But even when I do that it constantly nags me along the way that it has determined there is a faster route so I need to dismiss it. I can't trust it to not take me on some wild back road through a field.

> they're actually doing is researching the dangers of AI and other neckbeard concerns that have nothing to do with the problems and sufferings of actual human beings today.

This is really the kind of comment I'd like not to see on HN.

"Neckbeard concern" implies that... what, people worrying about AI risk are worrying for fun? Because they're socially awkward nerds disconnected from reality?

This reminds me of https://xkcd.com/743/

Worrying about the future consequences of incoming technological developments always looks like "neckbeard concerns" until it's too late to do anything about it.

And thus he we are, worrying about climate change and supply chain sovereignty and corporate control of information and wondering why nobody took sensible measures 20 years ago.

Is it though? How are stock grants counted? Yes, the big tech base salaries are higher, but the insane numbers people read typically include a very large stock component.

Someone else linked to levels for COIN and I saw mostly 100-200k base (some higher, but I doubt the company is mostly made of L7+ whatevers), but huge stock grants. The base seems perfectly reasonable for people working in a space where mistakes can cost significant amounts of money.

I think a bigger issue with big tech stocks sinking is top talent leaving to either do their own thing or take sabbaticals.
From a post above:

>IIRC, FOIA does not grant you a right to personal information collected on citizens. The agencies have the right to redact that in whole or in part from the records sought.
If someone says they don't want millions of illegal immigrants pouring into the country, are they "rallying for causes that marginalize, harass, and remove rights from others?" If someone says they don't support gay marriage on religious grounds, are they engaging in hate speech?

What issue is free from being percieved as an attack on someone else?

Want to put price controls on rent? You're stampeding on property rights. You are marginalizing landlords!

Want to create a company and hire people you want to hire? You're discriminating against those you don't want to hire.

So on, and so forth. All contentious issues involve granting the advantage to one party over another. That's why they are incendiary.

If we don't have free speech, then people will go underground and you'll have subterranean political battles with a banal surface counterpart. In other words, public speech will become completely insincere and everyone will be holding a knife behind their back while they wear big gregarious smiles and say the nicest things.

This has already happened. Free speech has already been effectively eliminated by dumbing down the population. We cannot expect any nuanced public debate. All political speech is reduced to slogan after slogan, "hope and change," laws that have catchy names like "the Patriot act," etc.

It's practically already gone and the underground pressure that one would expect in such a dysfunctional political climate is already at an eruption point.

I don't know what free speech means when most people are too stupid to understand anything above grade school level.
