i've been experimenting with it on safari tech preview, and it really lets you do many things that were previously impossible or unacceptably brittle. i love it.

same with container queries. have been experimenting, it's really nice compared to page grids and breakpoint hell.
Communities grow over time. Yes, there is an eternal September effect where popular communities attract newbs that don't yet understand or respect the culture and communication etiquette. But this has become a two-way street in recent years with the platforms themselves adding likes and upvotes, incentivizing people to communicate primarily to get likes and 'engagement'. You can see what that's done to the level of discourse on Twitter and Reddit.

But over time, you yourself do not stay the same person, interested in the same things. And if your personal commitment to the community fades, I'd wager that you yourself will begin to find reasons to leave. And a strong reason could simply be telling yourself "It sucks now, it used to be good".

I am just wondering which kind of „Selbstständigkeit“/incorporation you are talking about. If you are solo-selbstständig no special tax of 30% applies, maybe Gewerbesteuer which is much lower.

If you are running a GmbH or UG or GbR things might be different, but then why don’t you keep assets inside of the entity? Then the entity could grow its assets and you could only take what you need and save some assets for the future. (Assuming you make more than what you need to maintain your lifestyle)
I think we need to distinguish between inventor (literally building new things themselves) vs executor (making stuff happen that would not have happened otherwise, or least not as quickly).

I think Elon falls much more into the second category, which I agree is not really like Tony Stark, but I think still provides a ton of value to society. I think there's a real argument to be made that he is the reason we have dropped cost per pound of payload to orbit by over half with reusable rockets, even if he himself didn't invent the functionality.

I know you are! But if better land management practices is good enough on land, why can't better fisheries management be good enough at sea?
I mean a lot has happened because of it. It's been a top news story across fields. It's affected Tesla stock. It's affected public perception of Musk. It has caused deeper analysis of the financial viability of Twitter. It has allowed new parties to get closer looks at Twitter's books. It may have left to the ousting of several Twitter execs. It has normalized a return of Trump to the medium.
“All 3 of them took wealth away from paper-millionaire shareholders of competing companies (eg. Netscape) and delivered superior quality of life to the consumer”

Especially Carnegie made life miserable for tens of thousands of his workers. No amount of charity can make up for the amount of suffering he caused.
Obsessing over having 4 seasons is a theme that comes up in several cultures and I believe it is probably an ancient relic from when agrarianism was a nascent lifestyle upon which to base a civilization. Some nomadic cultures are similarly obsessed with the 4 cardinal directions.

> It is possible to over-invest and under-consume.

certainly is, but i would argue that more people under-invest and over-consume! I would also argue that the minimal amount of consumption (let's say, you keep yourself alive, just barely), and maximizing your investment amount, is the best outcome for your future, and is the most efficient allocation of resources.
I have been using WordWeb Pro for years now, which pops up when you hover over a word and ctrl + right click. One of the many references available for purchase is the shorter Oxford English Dictionary. Others include their own dictionary with audio pronunciation, Chambers Dictionary and Thesaurus, New Oxford American Dictionary, and Collins English Dictionary. I have purchased all except Collins which I have in print. Since I work in patent prosecution and litigation, I use WordWeb many times per day. I also have print additions of many older dictionaries and other resources to ascertain the meaning of a word at the time the invention. It's amazing to look at multiple definitions and realize that each resource can have slightly or very different meanings.
Tesla's market share is approximately 14%. They are impressive, innovative and might have a bright future but they aren't at the juggernaut stage yet. Their huge market cap and cultural share is because of their dominance in a small, previously ignored subset of the market that is expected to grow.
That would mean Tesla would acquire Twitter, not Musk personally. I have a hard time believing that wouldn't have hurt the Tesla stock.
I worked as Consultant for several years and instead of a daily rate, always proposed for each of my large projects, that companies would pay me 0.5% of the money my activities made the company or 0.1% of the money I saved the company.

Not one ever took up on this offer...

Take it easy on Biden. Many geriatric patients act strangely because their sense of self awareness has faded with age.

This has always happened. The famous renaissance artists would have their students do most of their work.
How is it legalistic fiction? What are people obligated to do, that is not required by law? I hope you're not talking about stuff like breathing. I'll also say that I haven't been thinking about morals, which I would agree cause people to feel obligated to do things that they aren't legally required to do.

Also, what is a "solid" reason? Is it just a reason you agree with? Does it have to be a purely original reason no one has uttered before? What was the right answer, so I know for next time?

I'll remind you that you specifically asked whether I thought the 1st amendment was "good." I answered that, but you didn't like my answer, so you asked me why while pivoting to free speech in general (which I've already asserted I don't believe is granted by the 1st amendment). Then, when I provided a why to the original answer, you followed up with this. You've moved the goalposts, basically dismissed my answers as not good enough, and now you just want to I guess unmask me as some sort of anti-speech person.
He's obviously a finance guy.
Thanks for sharing the article and the feedback!

Community curation is a good concept. I'm a little hesitant because community contributions can degrade a platform (e.g. people writing marketing content on Wikipedia). But the biggest hurdle had been building a reasonable content index, so despite that risk, the reward will seem to be worth it.

Re ranking: what you're saying makes a lot of sense in the context of topic discovery. But is less useful for q/a or reference style searches. Although it will still probably be good enough.

>However, wired headphones are not limitless in life either. My MM70i set is almost unusable because the jack has worn down from so much use, and one channel is not making contact on 8/10 systems I plug it in.

That's why you buy wired headphones with replaceable cables.
Thank you for explaining that, as you can tell I don't work with PCBs myself, and this was back in 2000.
The linked article gives some examples that I think are very useful clarifications:

> The format of the employment test can screen out people with disabilities [for example:] A job application requires a timed math test using a keyboard. Angela has severe arthritis and cannot type quickly.

> The scoring of the test can screen out people with disabilities [for example:] An employer uses a computer program to test “problem-solving ability” based on speech patterns for a promotion. Sasha meets the requirements for the promotion. Sasha stutters so their speech patterns do not match what the computer program expects.

Interestingly, I think the second one is problematic for common software interview practices. If your candidate asked for an accommodation (say, no live rapid-fire coding) due to a recognized medical condition, you would be legally required to provide it.

This request hasn’t come up for me in all the (startup) hiring I’ve done, but it could be tough to honor this request fairly on short notice, so worth thinking about in advance.
Some operating systems implement standard OS threading API's on top of a pool of true "system threads". Notably, this even included some early Java implementations, before a 1-to-1 mapping between system and "user" threads became more popular for some reason.
I enjoy The Hated One's[0] podcasts. Why do I like them? They discuss privacy and security, which is a topic I enjoy.

They have a CS degree and haven't heard the term "nonce" (in the "used only once" sense) until now?

The first part of the article is about poor UX on Coinbase, the second about poor UX on Opensea. Good points, but the title is purposefully vague to imply that actually using crypto is hard. There are things to buy other than NFTs with ETH, and you can do it without going through all the steps of creating a new wallet on a centralized exchange, etc.
That's some out of the box thinking there. Have you considered working for Musk as his M&A strategist? Just tweet at him until he hires or blocks you.
One computer for development, one for a server. He couldn't afford a second so had to use his primary for both purposes.
What facts would you believe? Elon himself tells a very different story:

Did you ever wonder that employees wanted to work for Steve Jobs and Elon Musk?

From my experience, and personal contacts that have both joined and left SpaceX, this is the case.

These comments never made any sense. A job at Tesla is not akin to Slavery. But most people act like it is. Why?
FUSE puts Linux solidly in the Microkernel camp for one very important function.
Well yes it was one file, but it was stated as being good on text and enwik8 is a pretty standard test corpus for text compressors.

I could have done more, but it somewhat vindicated what I was saying really. It has a very similar core to bsc (based on the same code) and gives very similar file sizes as expected. Note you may wish to use bsc -tT to disable both forms of threading. I don't know if that changes memory usage any.

Have you tried making PRs back to libbsc github to fit the UB and fuzzing issues? I'm sure the author would welcome fixes given you've already done the leg work.

Anyway, please do consider benchmarking against libbsc. It's conspicuously absent given the shared ancestry.
Then by your logic you are doing the same to me. Quoting easily verifiable crime statistics (along with a link to said statistics) and photographic evidence of obvious degradation was simply an alternate viewpoint from my perspective.

Both “stories”, as you put it, are true. In fact, I congratulated the person for building a sheltered world. I did the same for my wife and children. Nothing wrong with keeping your family out of the muck.

> single day in Paris

The 'Paris experience' famously does not scale to the rest of Western Europe. Getting mugged/fleeced by someone on day 1 in Paris is a ubiquitous experience that I have never heard be replicated anywhere else.
Yes, a "Selbstständiger" is taxed with personal income tax, but as I wrote, I am incorporated ("1-Mann GmbH"). I was tax "Selbstständig" for over 5 years and moved to a GmbH (=LLC) for various reasons completely unrelated to tax discussions (mostly protection of private assets and limited liability but also other reasons).

Edit: Corporate tax in Germany consists of two parts, Gewerbesteuer and Körperschaftssteuer. Those vary depending on where you are incorporated in Germany (Hebesatz), but 30% is a good rough estimate.
I agree that discrimination would be a lot easier to objectively prove after the fact, but it also would be far easier to occur in the first place, since many hiring managers would blindly "trust the AI" without a second thought.
Is your team an investment? I know we (not me, someone else I work with) asked our CEO about a team not making money, and he responded yeah, they started the team knowing it was a ten year investment, now it is looking like a 20 year investment and they are fine with it. My opinion is the team in question will never pay off the investment, but it will eventually come close enough to break even and the goodwill they generate for the company more than makes up the monitory loss. (How do you count someone who decides to buy our most profitable product vs a competitors because we have an unrelated product they use)
Ask HN: What has been your experience with chronic fatigue syndrome?

One thing that's so easy to kind of mentally ignore is that every single person - politician, executive, or janitor is just another person like we all are. And that comes with good-sides and bad-sides of humanity.

Another similar example that struck a chord for me was the Snowden leaks showing the NSA were trading peoples nudes/sexual pics at work. [1] One of the biggest arguments people apathetic towards privacy make is something along 'the [e.g.] NSA doesn't care about your [e.g.] tits' - maybe true, maybe not - but the humans who actually make up this entity? Oh yes they most certainly do.

The problem with AI is that when it does make discriminatory decisions on hiring, is that it does so systematically and mechanically. Incidentally, systematic and discrimination are two words you never want to see consecutively on a letter from the EEOC or OFCCP.

This is the report.

"How business executives perceive ransomware threat": https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/anti-ransomware-day-report/

Methodology:

"Kaspersky conducted research with 900 respondents across North America, South America, Africa, Russia, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Research took place in April 2022 with those in senior non-IT management (such as CEOs, VP and Director level) and business owners or partners at companies with 50—1000 employees."
You added the "really". Otherwise I don't bother posting sources for every single thing that is easy to find online.

Elon disputes some accounts of his family's wealth, but also doesn't offer much else on the topic except that he arrived in Canada with little money and ended with student debt. This is not incompatible with growing up in a wealthy family. People peace-out from their family for all sorts of reasons, and Elon himself gives a great one when he said he didn't want to be a part of apartheid, and that his father was a terrible person. I know someone who did that because of a similar father issue: very wealthy family, and the person wanted no part of his father's help once he was old enough to leave home.

By the father's own account they owned a plane worth about $300,000 in today's money. That alone-- enough to have a luxury good of that value-- is enough to put someone down as wealthy to me.
Honestly recreation.gov is one of the few government websites that has a “good” user experience. I’m not a fan of BAH but I think they executed well in this case.

While $184M may sound like a lot, compare that to the $200M+ that was spent on the failed launch of Healthcare.gov - taxpayers got nothing out of that. That work was scrapped. That website ultimately cost closer to $840M.

What you don’t see in these numbers are the insane requirements needed to launch successfully. It’s not just building an AirBnb clone for parks, there is a huge amount of bureaucracy and stakeholder management in a national project like this.

$20M in annual recurring profit also doesn’t sound like that much in the grand scheme of things. Morally I wish it wasn’t necessary, but practically it’s impossible to deliver quality customer service without some form of financial performance incentive.

Would I love to live in a world where government employs programmers and DIYs this stuff much cheaper and more efficiently? Of course. USDS and 18F are bright spots that are trying. But they also don’t have the capacity to work on anything except high priority projects.
I genuinely do not understand these kinds of situations. Like, I've been at companies where we have well know critics and like...we know what they say and if they suffer a misfortune people might think that's funny - but we're working on the thing we are working on! I just can't imagine my boss coming to me and telling me to setup an "op" on one of our well-known-angry-in-public-customers.

I say "these kinds of situations" because, ofc, this thing seems to come up regularly? I remember the Uber exec who stalked a woman who was assaulted (raped?) by a driver. People in the tech industry seem weirdly enabling of petty hateful stalker behavior.
Have had one for about a month to fool around with. Very well designed product (both hardware and software-wise) that lives up to the hype. Haven't really had time to do more than scratch the surface of what it's capable of so far.
I work at a big tech company doing web-dev. One of my coworkers is 36 and was a marketer till he joined a boot camp three years ago. I don't think age should be an issue.
You are ignoring the numbers because they don't support your version of events.

A $500,000 home is taxed $12,500 a year or a little over $1,000 per month in New Jersey the state with the highest property tax in the United States.

However that is an extreme example given few homes outside of super dense urban areas are worth that much and most states have much lower property taxes.

If we replace it with a $300,000 home and a tax rate of 1% (which is representative of most of the country) you instead get $3,000 a year or $250 a month. HoA fees are higher than that in many communities. That isn't ruinous at all.
As for me, forms are the single most important aspect of many web apps. Including critical ones for the society (banking, tickets, taxes, etc). Large part of my frustration with the state of web stems from how terrible experience with (creating and using) forms is.

Web is almost 30 years old by now, and the announce of a way to make forms relatively easily, still generates an excitement.

I mean, how many more years webdev community needs to realize that typesetting engine from 80s is not a good option for making modern robust UI apps? Technology for making hyperlinked web-pages is a terrible foundation for apps.

Literally any EU country has a constitution, and follow the EU convention on human rights. Your rights are recognised, protected and that can't be changed without at least a supermajority, usually more.

This is such an interesting counterpoint to the occasional “Just ship it” screed (just one yesterday I think?) we see on HN.

I have to say, I find this long form delivery of tech to be enlightening. That kind of foresight has to mean some level of technical saaviness at high decision making levels. Whereas many of us are caught at companies with short sighted/tech naive leadership who clamor to just ship it so we can start making money and recoup the money we’re losing on these expensive tech type developers.
No, they can solve integer factoring. This result shows that polynomial factoring is fundamentally different from integer factoring. The latter is believed to not be NP Hard.
The entire history of this user's 3 day old green account is made up of this behavior. It's one thing for people to do this on HN, but to skirt the community conduct expectations by using a throwaway account is frankly frustrating to witness.
70% would be fine because you don't need to run desalination all the time. We can store water in watertowers and draw down when we need it
(author here) I totally agree, we shouldn't be trying to bring down the perception of the species! It's just useful to be mindful/remember sometimes that we are still animals, which means we're still going to be predisposed to want to do stupid irrational animal things. Understanding the source of those instincts can help in bridling them.
If you make a decision based on 2, you are doing 3.

This is really cool! I wonder if nowadays those collections of passives would be replaced not with a PCB, but with a single IC.
This struck me enough to save for another read. While I do not have a desire to spend all my time studying philosophy, I admire/envy those who do. I also realize that most of those who do spend their life doing this are often tortured souls. I like those brief interludes when my soul is not being tortured. :)
An AWD bicycle would be pretty neat.
>With a human, you can’t really do an A/B test to determine if they would have prioritized a candidate if they hadn’t included some signal; it’s really easy to rationalize away discrimination at the margins.

Which is part of the reason that discrimination doesn't have to be intentional for it to be punishable. This is a concept known as "disparate impact". The Supreme Court has issued decisions[1] that a policy which negatively impacts a protected class and has no justifiable business related reason for existing can be deemed discrimination regardless of the motivations behind that policy.

> I simply didn't notify anyone and so far no one asked about it.

That's not really how it works though. You are not supposed to wait for them to ask you about it, you declare it truthfully and otherwise it's tax evasion. Not sure if that applies for your case but that's how these kind of taxes usually work.
