Ask HN: Raspberry Pi Prices and Availability
Is there anything going on specific to Raspberry Pi or is it just supply chain or chip shortage issues causing the supply and price issues?

I'm seeing prices over $150 when I can find one in the US. It's cheaper to get a refurbished desktop with decent specs. It just takes up more room and uses more electricity. Just wondering when the prices might get closer to normal again.
> You just cant participate in global commerce without it.

Is that still true, though?
> high-abuse machine, you can't just slap in a nice-looking OLED screen from AliBaba

OLED isn't the only screen technology and it's not what would look best in this environment. The best would be eink which has higher contrast in the sun. Eink can also be put behind weather proofing and be fine. It also doesn't draw power at idle.

I wish I could work on fixing all of the IoT gear that governments install.

There is a South Park episode about exactly this. With the message that the younger kids' new thing (watching streamers) being seriously lame. I.e. "youth these days" sometimes are just accurate.
You probably don't want your identity taken on them either - that might open up some attack surfaces. Best advice is just take the hit and change the passwords for everything.
If you live in another country and make over $112,000 USD (2022 number) there, you're paying US taxes on the difference even with the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. That sucks a lot for a lot of Americans.
Firefox in a private browser window seems to get past the registration popup for me. You have to close and reload the private window periodically because it somehow starts to fingerprint you as a user and starts showing the popup after some time.

If there's a way to configure a specific site to never ever store any cookies or send them under any circumstance that might be the next thing to try. Make twitter think you're friggin curl. Unbelievable we have to do this nonsense just to read the site.
Humans have been this way longer than you've been alive.

When I was in college (early internet, pre social media) I found it MUCH easier to study in the library. I went from getting Cs in non-CS classes to getting As and Bs and my confidence shot up. Why? Because the library is for studying and I'm surrounded by other people doing the same. Absolutely nothing wrong with a virtual version of that.
I have an Australian and a European passport. Australians travelling to Europe either need to be out of the Schengen Zone in 90 days or get a long term visa. My EU passport means I don't have to worry about visas, term of stay, and get all the rights of an EU citizen even if - to this point - I've never even visited the country that gave me the passport 20 years ago.

An edge use case - but one I've enjoyed - was visiting Israel and then traveling on to other countries in the region. An Israel entry stamp can cause issues entering other Middle Eastern states but, in my case, I used a different passport when traveling to other ME countries.
While a taboo and difficult subject, many suicides are medically supported. It's an unfortunate reality that sometimes suicide is the most humane decision someone can make for themselves.

All I'm really saying is that your 3 for 1 statistic, may be counting suicides in Switzerland that nobody is trying to prevent, and are instead actually facilitating:

The OP writes with the implicit assumption that patriotism is a moral good and that America also is something to defend in and of itself (moreso than any other country).

Some people (myself included) would argue that nationality should (ideally) be of little importance and patriotism misguided affection. We might suggest that mercy and liberty for any individual, no matter their nationality, is at the crux of it of more value than feelings of nationalism.

The story of Nathan Hale gives us a glimpse of exactly why this sort of patriotism is problematic when we read about the British officer tearing up the letters he wrote before his execution, why do this to a fellow man sentenced to death if not misguided nationalism over common humanity.

The problem with the kind of patriotism America seems to demand is that it allows for mercy & kindness to it's own, at the expense of others.

From the point of view of a global humanitarian rather than a blind American patriot, Snowden's leaks make a lot of sense. It's the lens you have grown up with, OP, which colours everything you've said here. As someone from (not America), many of us appreciate that the cover was pulled back, it made us all look to our own democratic governments and ask the hard questions.
I’m in my 40s too and it made total sense to me.

I’m more focused with work at Starbucks surrounded by other people than on my couch alone.
They're also against having a population register.

Denmark has a population register ("CPR") [1], but does not have identity cards. It's required that you update your address in the register if you move house or emigrate.

Everyone also has a NemKonto ("EasyAccount"), which is a nominated bank account linked to the CPR (somehow) to receive payments from public institutions. That should make fraud of this type even more difficult.

Thanks for doing this project and I hope it works out for you! I am frequency deaf and have always wanted an app that could alert me to a nearby rattlesnake when I am out hiking as I can’t hear them very well. From reading that would probably be a paid feature later down the road but one I would certainly pay for!
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good and secure and preferably free password manager?
"bought a vanity passport"? I've never heard that; my understanding is that he got a passport via the investment route, probably as a hedge in case he doesn't want to live in US any more, or because he likes NZ.

What even is a "vanity passport"? Sealand maybe?
> However, I never knew of "star assignment" eg

first, second, *others = some_tuple

For what it's worth, I think that's often called "splat".
Making me pay into social security but not giving me the benefits is NOT "taking a payout" early or otherwise.
Merging a few themes that have appeared in other posts but that I haven't seen combined into one, the outlier-based nature of large VC returns and the lack of liquidity prior to those outlier events makes IRR a bad metric for VC investment decision-making because it's not just a lagging indicator, it's a bursty and discontinuous laggy indicator.
The entire list of victims makes the article read like something from The Onion.

The guy agreeing to go down the alley to buy cocaine from a group of strangers, the guy that got “pick-pocketed” while at the pub, to the anon vomiting under a bridge…where I am from the guy randomly vomiting under a bridge doesn’t have a phone much less $30k in crypto on it.

It just doesn’t seem plausible a random thief sees someone under a bridge vomiting and reasonably thinks that victim has untraceable crypto on his phone.
> Is this viable?

Absolutely fucking not.

But if you really, really, I mean, really want to stateless yourself and end up in a situation where you can’t even get a travel document, you can.

Not that anyone ever should.

> Perhaps there are countries that will grant citizenship to stateless people out of compassion, or for a fee?

Not that I’m aware of.

This is an intriguing peek into some upper echelon MS politics. He notes he got busted down from L69 to L68 - L68 is a significant cutoff inside MS, titled “Partner”. L70 is “Distinguished Engineer”. For recent years, L68 all-in comp is probably right around $1mm a year, although I’m sure that was a bit lower when PowerShell was being written, and much higher in toto if you held on to your RSUs.

What surprises me is everything not said here - I know a number of MS Partner-level folks, and they all strike me as perfectly capable of funding and hiding a reasonable-sized team to work on anything they think is important; in fact reducing and removing precisely this practice is one of the reforms Satya has made — getting upper echelon fiefdoms more aligned.

So, I think the full story is actually a lot more interesting than the tweets. I’d personally like a short memoir instead of the tweets. In any event, don’t feel too bad for him - he did fine, and PowerShell is one of the features that let Windows stay competitive with Linux as the world transitioned to the cloud.
Maybe not paint people with such broad strokes? Humans are complicated, and the reasons we have for wanting to go to the office vs WFH are varied.

For example - some people don't like work bleeding into their home life, which is a lot harder when you WFH.

In the cosmic sense, the demotion was lenient, considering that he breathed new life into something which is mostly an abomination, & should have been put out of our collective misery long ago. The cybersecurity industry would be a shadow of its current self if it weren't for good old Windows.

It's probably more accurate to say that it's any residential address that, in the case of the US, is in the USPS address database. Though there are probably exceptions.
The US population, while not declining, has stopped is quick expansion and is headed towards a break even. It grew at 0.1% last year, a record low.

Indeed. Look at China and Taiwan. The Chinese that fled to Taiwan at the end of their Civil War loaded boats with gold and wealth. They also were generally well educated. A small island that stood and still stands.
IIRC powershell came about in the mid 2000s when it was the peak Steve Balmer and Windows Vista era for Microsoft. Absolutely none of the senior leaders at that time survived at the company in the long run, at least no one in the Windows organization. Jim Allchin, Steve Sinofsky, etc.

Honest question: Do startup millionaires still go shopping themselves? I imagine when you are between the area where you have a gardner for time-to-time tasks and don’t have “un majordome” yet to serve you at any time, there’s an entire higher-class-market-but-not-elites who would be interested in Juicero?
I would happily trade my US citizenship for an EU one. You are lucky.
The devil is in the detail as they say.

Then I can go to the post office and talk to a human who will happily confirm who I am (maybe they even know me personally) and can forward my mail anywhere I want.
This is an interesting claim, because "being lost by your family at age 2 and essentially kidnapped and shipped to another country" ranks pretty high on my life impacting events list.
Price sensitive users are also the worst customers. They complain the most, want discounts, want the most support even though they are paying very little and then want refunds or dispute charges.
I think the IQ test has been mythologized in a way that people feel it is a perfect representative of intelligence and is somehow unable to be improved upon and therefor a true measure of god-given intelligence.

This is patently rediculous. If you have ever taken an IQ test you would know the types of question are easily practiced and improved upon. The modern IQ test is used to identify potential learning disabilities by psychologists and beyond that is not really considered.
I suspect that the bank is actually trying its best to supply services to the indigent without running afoul of a strict regulatory regime. You make it sound like they’re being intentionally unreasonable out of some sense of cruelty.
I don’t like the “trick” questions where you have to think of some very specific approach or else you fail.

But I agree that basic knowledge of things like trees and runtime complexity is reasonable. That kind of stuff does come up in actual work.
How did you find out that the US will allow you to renounce and make yourself stateless? I'm genuinely curious, and also slightly skeptical that it's really true.
They still owe taxes, it's just that some years their obligation is $0.

Edit: also there are things like fuel and sales tax that almost everyone owes, even if they don't have to pay income tax.

Yes they would tax you because the work was done in Singapore.

Would they know? Probably not.
It is about the screaming. Just like old horror movie, the selling point is an attractive young woman screaming as she is attacked by something. Then there is the bonus of her having to rip off clothes and/or jumping into water to escape. Then the older male rescuer, a veteran beekeeper, can show up and mansplain the correct method of handing bees. This is perfect for the History Channel's demographic. It can go right between the Hitler/WWII hour and that show about the best boardwalk restaurants for peoplewatching.

Holy moly just because you couldn’t figure it out doesn’t mean that nobody else can or will.

I’d argue the opposite. Reducing friction with nomadism increases the likelihood of a pilgrimage and radicalization of hyper aligned internet communities into meat space.
Stock has some intrinsic value though. When we talk about Europe - the stockmarket is not so inflated: mostly boring companoes doing boring stuff -> that brings a lot of cash flow.
Not at all. Actually, dual citizenship US + Canada or US + European countries is pretty common.
My retirement strategy is to find a part time job that I enjoy doing and never stop working.

I believe that besides providing an influx of funds (in addition to savings and investments), staying socially engaged and mentally active by continuing to work is good for health. The security of knowing that there will be enough money to pay property taxes and basic needs, i.e. food, preventive healthcare, etc. is also a benefit.

This is victim blaming. If you have the correct credentials to an account, Google should never say "we're not letting you log in anyway, and there's literally nothing you can do about it".
The EU budget is tiny - under €150B euro per year[1]. And what's more it has being falling in absolute terms in the last number of year.

While the US federal government spends over $20 trillion a year. This isn't comparable at any level - regardless of any snake-anatomy analogy.

I'm not sure what your definition of a "member state department" is? But knowing something of the political set-up in a number of EU countries, none are under the "sole control" of the EU (commission I guess you mean?).

I don’t see what’s so bad about it. Half of my waking hours are spent working, a lot of the other half are spent eating, working out, and relaxing. Am I supposed to spend an hour a day hanging out with people after work? Not only does that sound exhausting, it doesn’t seem like enough if that’s my main social interaction. At work, there is a shared goal and a community that I can be a part of, and it’s there for me for most of my waking hours during the week.

What’s the top federal income tax bracket? 37%?

In most high-income countries with that income, you either won’t pay anything, or the difference will be marginal.

There will be very few people in the world for whom renouncing the US citizenship would be worth it long-term.

Unless you go full tax-haven, which is also fine.
How much is their bug bounty? It’s not written on this page: https://hackerone.com/bitwarden?type=team

This is another example of why aid programs should be universal. Send every citizen a cheque for the same amount, and I mean everyone (even Bezos and Musk). One system built competently. Way lower risk of fraud or corruption (qualifiers exacerbate fraud, gatekeepers policing qualifiers create corruption).

It’s not like Bezos will cash this cheque.

I include them as a task in my weekly "digital chores" and I'm left with 63 Compromised website as of today. But I'm down to "zero" on Weak, and Vulnerable Passwords. Btw, most of them can just be deleted -- old websites, changed business, etc.
Memorizing stuff that any reference book can tell you is a waste of time and skill.

Knowing when to use a binary tree is much more important.

Knowing not to write a binary tree and using a library is a delivery saving skill.

At least abstract problems off a whiteboard show candidate problem solving approaches. But dry coding koans are absolutely a waste of time for anyone involved and tend to produce teams that care about knowledge tidbits hoarding instead of, idk, serving the business that pays them producing value.

And rest assured, there is no value in writing a binary tree for the business. As a matter of fact if one of my dev doesn't use off the shelf components for these kind of things they'd get a stern talking about time efficiency, security and the likes. Why would I go and stress that at a interview?
I have times and tasks for which I'm more productive at home, and times and/or tasks where I'm more productive at work.

Good in-person collaboration, sometimes accidentally overhearing someone else, is invaluable. At the same time, people can get off task and chit chat becomes a hindrance.

Sometimes we all know our role and what has to be done, we just have to get it done. Sometimes we don't know how to solve a problem.

Some employees don't have a good work environment at home. A Ph.D. student with a young special-needs child felt horrible ignoring his daughter while working on his dissertation at home (where his wife was caring for his daughter), bit coming into campus was far better for him, productivity-wise and psychologically.

I think the balance might be a dynamic one, in that what's best can change over time and task and stage of a task and stage of a person's career. And by employee, and by task.

Being a good manager must be immensely difficult, but also being an employee also requires adapting and compromising between all of these trade-offs.
> practical arguments

Such as? All of them stem from FATCA, and we’re back to taxes.

And in a lot of situations not even renouncing the US citizenship will help you there, as you’ll be scrutinized for having a US birthplace.
The comment we're replying said just that:

"Better even is giving positive feedback on positive behavior while of ignoring bad one."
The way it’s often been quoted to me: “practice makes permanent.”

Or, put another way, “perfect practice makes perfect.”

It absolutely matters what you practice, or you’re just training your fingers to stumble at the same spot every time, which is exactly what I did for decades before being introduced to deliberate practice.
Well im banned from reddit thats why i cane here, but i cant afford cosmetic surgery, we are not currently in the financial condition,and i think it would be lame to ask my father to pay now that our condition aint that good. But if i do go to a doctor can these problems actually be fixed?and if you have experience with this,how much would it cost to do a surgery?
> Yeah or is it like the infomercials where people show you these awesome gadgets that solve problems that you actually don't have, just to sell you a bunch of crap so that they can make money.

Except that they do solve problems people have, just not problems you have. They are meant for, or at least often employed by, the disabled community.

Those are not complex behaviors. An instinct is a complex behavior, like migrating for the winter or building a nest.

The problem with claiming that humans have instincts is that it gives cover for bad theories of mind. For instance, the Nazis believed Jewish people have Jewish minds and German people have German minds; many Marxists have held that bourgeoisie have bourgeois minds. In reality, the human mind is a blank slate, in terms of knowledge and beliefs.
In addition to changing passwords (one unique and complex password per site), now is a great time to simply delete accounts that you no longer use.
