It’s not a “recent interpretation.” There was a long period during the 20th century when a narrow view of the second amendment was favored, but in earlier eras it was regarded as a personal right. It was actually liberal scholars like Akhil Amar that did critical work laying the foundation for Heller: https://newrepublic.com/article/73718/second-thoughts

> The key subject-nouns were simply different ways of saying the same thing: at the Founding, the militia was the people and the people were the militia. Indeed, the earlier draft of the amendment linked the two clauses with linchpin language speaking of “a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people.” The linchpin was later pulled out as clumsy and redundant. A modern translation of the amendment might thus be: “An armed and militarily trained citizenry being conducive to freedom, the right of the electorate to organize itself militarily shall not be infringed.”

Recall that the Constitution bars maintaining a standing army in peace time. The Framers obviously thought that the way to go was to round up a bunch of armed yokels (sorry, citizens) in times of war, instead of maintaining a permanent army. That is, in fact, what they did during the Revolutionary War.

There's contours to that--I kind of think that the Swiss system where you're required to have guns, but there are measures for keeping them secure in peace time would be Constitutional. But random individuals need to be able to own guns without belonging to a formal "militia" because random individuals are supposed to be the militia.
Sorry about the barb.
> Improve the account recovery process, including more secure forms of identity verification

I wonder how long it will be before you need to show a government-issued ID to publish any software online?

Right now, if a government wanted OSes to restrict people to only running "approved" code, they would basically have to ban all Free Software. Unfortunately, by improving the security of the supply chain, it becomes at least conceivable that big gatekeepers could provide the identity checking that governments might try to impose.
Regulation is not just on a spectrum with not enough on one end and too much on the other end.

There is an orthogonal dimension that comprises the quality of regulation (good and poor).

Would that more understand this idea.
More commits are not better.
Last year I made much more than my day job creating NFT projects. This year things have slowed down, but it's still nice. I know multiple people that have quit their full time jobs to do this kind of work, but it's not really "gigging", it's more like a full time job where you're a self employed creative techie. Feels risky, fun, rewarding, and anxiety inducing. I recommend keeping it as a side gig.
node.js nowadays is a total disaster. I've been able to hold down the fort with turbo repo, but even then it's been a touchy strategy. I want to switch to Deno, and I'm interested in articles like this. Either that, or, because of the state of nodejs/NPM modules, and it's ever-increasing surface area of doom and resume driven development node modules, either somehow switch to deno or go back to just HTML and vanilla js. I just can't get any work done. I'm saying this as a developer with 27 years experience and who has written my own server side spidermonkey solution pre-nodejs.
True, but those who say the 2A is a “collective” right for the militia would not usually say that any male aged 17 to 45 should be able to purchase an AR-15 via their membership in the unorganized militia and Selective Service card.

The collective right concept attempts to turn the 2A right into the idea that Congress shouldn’t pass a law to take away weapons from its own soldiers and army, which makes very little sense.
Agreed, before the war I worked with an outsourced team in Ukraine, and I was blown away with the quality of their work and the professionalism of all the devs I talked to in that shop.

That being said, I'm not worried about outsourcing. I believe I bring enough value to the table to withstand those pressures, even if eventually I have to take a wage hit to compete.
And you can easilly add the features you actually need. :)

Ten million is impressive. I'd be interested to know Google's numbers, obviously their employees have Yubikeys (or analogous authenticators) but I wonder how many of their users have enrolled.
Might want to change the subtitles from "that was sick" to "that was disgusting" just to prevent anyone misinterpreting that (unintentionally or otherwise) as "sick" is slang for "excellent" in some places.
Hero Cosmetics's line has worked pretty well for me (for a face sunscreen). Zinc oxide only, doesn't make me (a white guy) look ghostly.
Other than general supportiveness of my interests, neither of my parents were in a position to do that. There are a lot of things where, if I had had someone knowledgeable sit down with me for an afternoon, I'd have been years ahead of where I'm at. I could have learned Pascal or C about five years earlier than I did, if someone had helped me set up Turbo Pascal and write a hello-world in it. Could have been breadboarding things earlier if I had known some basics like "which holes are connected in a breadboard."

I really did just figure out most things on my own, through trial and error or old books. In an environment where most people either didn't care what I did or actively discouraged that kind of experimentation. Which is why I don't have a lot of patience for that argument up there: no, it's not privilege, anyone can do it, just most people don't.
My iPod Classic is glued shut. It’s still serviceable, but hasn’t needed any service yet.
And air circulation, or lack thereof!
Yes, the one in my building has crappy air circulation (no pun intended!) and the facilities people know this, but they "won't" fix it (too expensive for FANG company to fix a toilet).
The solution: they put those fruit-smelly things in every corner of the toilet. Not only does this NOT solve the problem, The only thing, IMHO, this does is make you hate fruits :-(
Serious question: what's wrong with lead in avgas?

Ask HN: Fake Resume Keywords Finder
I work in the capacity of a Hiring Manager in a fairly large Software organization. We have a few Engineer positions open, and we are hiring aggressively. The issue I am facing is that, the resumes are filled with junk more than ever and are seemingly fake in one look itself. But we need candidates, and are forced to accept the resumes, and schedule for a first round and reject.

There was this 5 yr. experienced candidate, whose resume was sent to us by a preferred sourcing vendor, had 80+ technologies listed in the resume. In one scan we knew it was fake, but nevertheless spent 15 mins on an online first round to reject.

Is there a free service or product which I can use to find
1) whether the resume is fake (based on any AI algorithms)
2) Determine if the resume is fake based on how many keywords are randomnly distributed across the resume
3) Find how many unique technologies are listed, how many are repeated, and things like that.

I tried Standford Named Entity Recognizer[1] to pick some keywords from the text, but the online demo allows only certain text to be scanned.

Before depreciation, the iPhone was the more expensive device.

"Smart" TVs are cheaper because the manufacturer is selling your data.
How are they spending so much that they have a $430M loss with $1.165B revenue? I don't mean that as a judgement, I'm just actually wondering.
This resonates with me. I have close friends who would be great co-founders, 3 out of 4 have moved in to camper trucks or vans. They work easy remote jobs and just enjoy life. We are mostly in our early 30s, worked in startups together over the years as engineers, sometimes as first or second hire. It's going to be quite hard to talk one of them in to being a principal co-founder at this point.
I don't fully understand how they have such high costs (G&A / Tech etc). Their revenue is actually fine / great. But these costs are wild - what makes up the bulk of these?
Loved this framework as it helped me build my ssh app idea really quickly (https://github.com/ivantsepp/ssh-slides)! In fact, it pushed me to finally learn golang haha. Would love seeing more and more ssh apps in the wild.

I have been looking for a cheaper, no-data SIM card to use with 2FA Mules - this is very helpful.
Personally, I don't really care about gun rights. But I care very much about trying to deny the 2nd Amendment without a Constitutional Amendment. If that right can be cast aside as being outdated or inconvenient, what about our other rights?

Which one is next to be discarded? Free speech? (That's under constant assault today.)
I have been using Google Maps, Apple Maps & Here interchangeably.

Apple Maps is better than Google Maps in metros, while the reverse is true beyond suburbs & in freeways. Google Maps seems to work better in South & SE Asia. In supported regions however, HERE maps is better than both of them. It is a shame that app lost traction.

Perhaps a silly question: is there any way to get music (saved mp3 files) onto an old 5th-gen nano from a Chromebook?

Thinking of getting one for my daughter, who has a Chromebook from school. Of course I could manage it from my Mac, but it would be nice to give her the power.

I always thought of the iPod as THE inflection point for Apple. Not the 1998 iMac, not the iPhone, even though it was the latter that made Apple the company it is today. But I think the iPod put Apple on a track to get to the iPhone-it's why Apple/Jobs were even thinking about it. The pod and the phone shared form factors and have always been intertwined in my mind. For that reason, when the iPhone came out, I automatically assumed that Apple had just killed its iPod business. I was wrong, but I suppose that it did eventually come to pass... 15 years later.
Why are you framing "an application with no open windows" as an idea that should be avoided? It's a useful concept, especially when dealing with heavy applications that take a while to launch (perhaps with a splash screen). It's also not how truly background services are represented to the user; only temporarily backgrounded aplications use this paradigm. Stuff that's meant to almost always be in the background with little or no UI (eg. VPNs) generally don't take space in the Dock.

I think it's a lot more fair to say that other desktop environments lack an equivalent because they don't have a cohesive notion of "application" in the first place, though influence from OS X/macOS has been pushing other desktop environments in that direction (see eg. the evolution of the Windows taskbar)
Growth for the sake of growth has a well-known biological equivalent: cancer, and its end-game is monopolizing all resources and killing the host (and thus itself).
this is actually quite an objective matter, most humans think visually and they will create a mental map of the WINDOWS in their mind, not the APPS. So making the subject of the action an abstract thing they can't see (the app, sometimes) would be the absurd thing.
Yelp is still pretty good for major U.S. metropolitan areas. Not sure what's beyond that, other than Tripadvisor is like Yelp for the rest of the world.

Very high salaries.
It would be interesting to show the market capitalisation of all major record labels vs Apple over the last 25 years. File sharing was given a massive leg up at the expense of recorded music and looking back it was really the underground and independent labels that have perished.

When it comes to competing for attention music has a lot more to compete with now than it did then. If I had to predict I can't see a significant cultural change happening like in the 20th century unless new musical instruments are invented
Disney Copyrights Targeted in Bill Proposed by Sen. Josh Hawley
Science is implemented by scientists, and you will literally never have the time or expertise to do more than trust what scientists are telling you, except possibly in an incredibly narrow field.

You have not followed the scientific method to know lead is unsafe. You have to trust scientists to implement science properly. Science does not exist in a vacuum. It is implemented by scientists. And you have probably never advanced or refined our knowledge of the truth once in your entire life, unless you happen to have published some research. Have you?

You benefit from scientists, but claim they are the flawed part of the duality. You have this platonic view of the algorithm, and it appears to me a complete lack of understanding of how scientists implement it. Or how you receive the benefits of science.

Or of the flaws in how we currently implement science. It will take humans to improve how we practice science.

I feel like that guy who's trying to explain fiat money to someone. That's great you believe in money. Money is meaningless. It only has value because we say it does.

Science is almost meaningless. It's a way for scientists to think and approach questions and problems. It's the best method we know of, but that's only because scientists have done that work. And need to continue to improve it. Because science itself can be broken.

Science isn't perfect, as you seem to think it is.
Supabase dev and the maintainer of Supabase Realtime here!

Thanks for the feedback! I think you're right and we can do a better job of exposing this so it's more apparent for everyone.

> There are bunch of oddities with how policies and realtime work.

Would love to hear more about the oddities! Realtime works with Postgres RLS policies so there should be nothing odd about it. Set up your policies and Realtime works accordingly.
The right to free speech is the lynchpin that holds together all the other rights. Throwing that under the bus - the rest will soon follow.

I disagree. Never in my life has the best solution to anything been the extreme, instead it's always been balanced and nuanced solution that have ended being more optimal. I've observed this in science, physics, engineering, medicine, culinary, inter-social relations, business, in everything.

Based just on that, I already get a red flag when someone says that an extreme free speech position, such as free speech absolutists, is the best solution to have a liberal society with civil liberties.

In my experience, balanced and nuanced is always better, and you must always have provisions to handle special cases, there will always be special cases.

Free speech is very important, like you said, beyond violence, how else you going to influence and assert any improvement or changes to defend, retain or ask for more liberties?

But speech can remain civil and respectful, it doesn't have to include slander, or threats to a person, insults, ridicule, raised voices, talking over people, etc.

And then you have the conflict with other liberties. Yes governement shouldn't be able to restrict anyone's speech, no matter what. But between themselves, citizens should be allowed recourse to slander for example. They should have ways to protect their reputation when it is being harmed by someone intending to harm it through misinformation, lies, and false accusations, and that would require the government to intervene and uphold someone's right to their reputation.

Also, we should be allowed to create communities with code of conducts that include speech behavior. If you come to my house and start bad-mouthing my daughter, insulting her, and I kick you out, you shouldn't be able to sue me for violating your free speech rights. I should be allowed to control the code of conduct of others in my own home. Similarly on my website, in my comment section, or if I am a company running a social community space I too should be allowed to do so in order to protect my business. Robo-calls, spammers, calling me or leaving spam in my email, website, I should be allowed to block them, or have some service that auto-censors them, it shouldn't be that their creator can prevent me from blocking them because it infringes on their creator's right to free speech. Same for bot accounts and all that. So clearly I feel there needs to be special provisions for exceptions to the right to free speech, and when exactly it applies, to whom, about what, and how the speech itself is conducted and what the speech is actually saying, is it false accusations, slander, threats, spam, etc.

> But I can see why a group of gender studies professors would write that piece anyway for political reasons, as this paradox is very uncomfortable for them.

Oh yes, professors of gender studies, anthropology and psychology should stick to their soft sciences and not critique hard science written by *checks notes* professors of psychology who write pop science books and articles.
Discrimination is not a function of supply and demand, it is a function of lack of legal protection. One can argue underleveraged groups does not deserve equal treatment unless they can overpower their situation, but personally I disagree with that opinion. I also totally understand if someone feels their salary is under threat and does not want to treat others fairly due to that. To be completely honest, there is a nonzero chance I would do the same if I was on the good end of the deal as well.

I'm not holding my breath over the situation changing in the near future, but 2 years of remote work do make people reconsider things.
Sorta-related topic: I like to listen to music while I run. I currently use a 7th Gen iPod Nano. It works because it's small and it has Bluetooth; I just put it in my pocket and go. However, I would rather have this same functionality (play music, Bluetooth) on a wristwatch device, as the iPod bouncing around in my pocket can be kinda annoying.

All the popular "smart watch" devices are packed with functionality I just don't want - not interested in having my fitness tracked or reading text messages while I run. I just want music and Bluetooth, and I guess a stopwatch/timer, too. That's it.

I've looked around and the best I could find was a wristwatch device straight outta Shenzhen. I bought it, and unsurprisingly, it was junk.

Does anyone know of a quality wristwatch device that only plays music and has Bluetooth (and stopwatch/timer)? Does a product like this exist? Or, is it "smart watch" or nothing (or junk)?

They're not allowed to make money from this Harry Potter fan-fiction IIRC, which this is (one that teaches effective altruism concepts and rationality), so I don't see how this would be a way to launder money.

It's also worth noting that this was 28k out of 923k USD, so not a too big part of it (~2%). Of course the money should be used for other things if it's estimated to be more effective though.

The reasoning is in the post you linked which I think gives a pretty good explanation. They're given to 650 math medalists (so ~43 USD/person) which they deemed to have good target audience for this.
Honestly this depends on the conference, but if it's the kind of thing where it's a CV filler mill you won't learn anything from either the talk or reading the paper. And then there are talks which are impressive because the authors did a lot of work - again you don't learn anything because the solution is obvious, just takes a lot of effort. In those cases I agree it's better to shmooze.
Sunlight direct on the retina either without any obstructions or only through eyelids loads an enzyme necessary for serotonin production.

edit: misread your question - removed the stupid joke.
I think this is actually a pretty real concern. I've noticed my appreciation for specific instances of all sorts of media has tanked with wide availability.

I actually used to buy a lot of media so I hit this problem before streaming. As soon as I had a backlog big enough with each type of media that it wasn't straightforward to burn through it, it became a cloud of equally possible stuff with the result I wasn't particularly invested in any of it. Most people were smarter than me re: dumping money into bits on a disc, but now that streaming and/or free-feed libraries have hit most media types, I think the experience is becoming more common.

I think it's a different version of Paradox of Choice: all individualization between the various choices is lost when there's too many. With PoC, the problem is that then you have nothing left by which you can prioritize. In this case, the issue is the loss of all joy you'd have found in the differences.

What's helped a little for me is going on "kicks," like finding all the bands I liked that did EDM-metal hybrid, or all the found footage movies I liked, etc. Constraining the pool you're selecting from first makes it easier, and having a mission of some kind makes it easier still.
So I'd love some advice or help I've never really seen the appeal of attending conferences.

It seems like there is so much information presented so rapidly that I end up forgetting most of it pretty quickly and am only able to focus on a few things. I don't drink or really party so that doesn't really do anything for me.

It seems that if I want to learn about something the best way for me is to sit down and read about it for a while. Not to mention half of it seems to be marketing drivel depending on the conference.

So HN what am I missing? How do I make a conference useful?
