I mean, as risky and brand and logo redesigns are, there is often a need to want to modernize or revitalize your logo or mark or packaging. It’s more difficult, the larger/older/more iconic your packaging is. That’s why the best logo and branding and packaging redesigns tend to either be the most iterative or have changed early in a product/brand’s lifecycle before he could be too associated with a company.

The Tropicana redesign was a total failure — but there is a story where you could have had a redesign that left essential elements (the orange with the straw at the center), with a slightly updated/modernized logo or typeface, and it could have been successful.

Successful rebrands and redesigns don’t get the same attention as the failures because they are successful. But there are a number that are fairly radical — Airbnb, I was definitely in the camp that hated their new logo and branding at first, but it has worked. Coca-Cola consistently has some of the best adjustments to its logo and packaging, subtle but powerful (New Coke being the exception that absolutely proves the rule). Apple and Microsoft have both had very good redesigns — Apple has used the same logo shape for decades, but it has changed font and color of the logo. Kroger is a more recent example of an exemplary rebrand.

Going too far, and in this case, making your core packaging impossible for buyers to recognize is absolutely a problem and a disaster — but rebranding or updating branding is often a very good thing for a business, especially when it is subtle enough for the consumer to not notice or to just notice that it now looks more elegant or fresher.

One nice thing about permanent residence e.g. green card is that it can coexist with a citizenship that doesn't allow dual.
Ask HN: Can you share websites that are pushing the utility of browsers forward?
I'm aware of the relatively recent addition of things like WebXR, WebGL, WebAssembly, WebRTC, but I feel I am woefully out of touch with the most compelling and useful examples of these novel standards.

Do you have any eye-opening websites that really demonstrate some of the true power of the modern web?
I recently wanted up upgrade from 2 to 5 channels. Previously I just had 2 powered studio monitors hooked up to my tv via 1/8th inch. All I wanted was a D2A box that took the atmos signal and let me plug in more speakers. Turns out these are crazy expensive and it’s way cheaper to buy the giant box.
I have several college friends who made serious money during COVID "fixing people's Zoom dropouts" by installing MoCA adapters. They installed them for hundreds of people during the last two years, and some of those installs had issues. They ended up getting testing gear to look into the issues and be able to give people a definitive answer for why. Every single time, it came down to something wrong with the wiring. Maybe you're special, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
We reopened our offices. Some people went in on the first day. Five people caught COVID. Offices are closed again (temporarily).
Well, it's probably more like "the social concept of race is roughly correlated with certain phenotype clustering patterns, and those phenotypes extend beyond those visible on people's exteriors", which is mildly interesting, not that surprising, but good for stirring outrage if you pitch it to the right crowds.

I've never heard "racialists" used by anyone but white supremacists, so presumably this is one more thing they can use in bad faith to promote their BS.
The Church-Turing hypothesis just means that the lambda calculus and Turing machines are isomorphic. It doesn’t actually tell us anything about reality, no matter what enthusiastic misunderstandings might say.
Is there any reading material that you can share about the M1 scheduler?
I've seen some brands where they changed the design, but they have a plan to retrain people. There will be a callback to the old design on part of the packaging, or they use the old packaging but change the name, but on the top corner write 'same great taste as whatever the old name was'. Maybe they wait a few months or even years to confirm that sales didn't fall before they can fully shed the old branding.
Hmmmmm. Past 2FA codes is something that had‘t occurred to me.
They are compelling because change every X seconds, and presumably can be a length that makes them unique enough.

In terms of the threat of having a single “signer” fake it: does anything prevent them from generating “old” codes by setting the clock back?
I don't really see myself thumb typing with a cyberdeck though.
For a lot of websites I visit frequently what I want is ease of use and familiarity. Redesigns are often a bother since I need to learn to navigate the new site.

For sites I don't visit as often I likely won't really notice a redesign.
Sad that she got shot. There are less than 500 Siberian tigers left.
I think the confusion here is understanding that my point was exercise is to assist with weight loss and not be the primary thing to induce weight loss. If you use it as the primary tool for your weight loss you will fall into the trap that you did anything that disrupts your exercise causes your weight loss to reverse.

If instead you used diet as the primary tool and exercise has the supplement when the supplement falls away it's easier to adjust the diet to compensate. For example a moderate exercise of 30 minutes or so a day can burn an additional 200 calories a day that's 10% of a 2000 calorie diet. If you're in a situation where you cannot exercise cutting out an additional 200 calories is a relatively small amount of food.

Humans are very good at throwing everything into one bag and expecting it to remain forever. Your example of your high amount of exercise to induce weight loss is an example of this. It works but it's also very short-term because it cannot be maintained. I almost like him this to exotic dancers as a profession. It is a good way for a relatively low skill person to achieve a high amount of money in the short term. For example they could go to college and pay for it in cash. But often times the returns are so great it's a difficult to see that this cannot last forever. But as with the body cannot exercise at a high level for ever exotic dancers cannot remain profitable forever. This is why these are tools to allow a short-term process to evolve into a long-term sustainable game. Earn a large amounts of cash when you're young and viable to invest in a education with a future payoff or invest in another long-term payoff. Exercise to supplement your dieting, but the main goal should be evolving your diet to adjust to your caloric needs because that is the long-term.
To most people "diversity" just means not White regardless if the "diverse" people are over represented by 6x while everyone else is underrepresented.
Are you joking? Thinkpads for decades have had all the parts replaceable with off the shelf components. Framework is barely caught up with my 2008 thinkpad lol.
It’s a form, you can enter anything you want. No one is checking your work.
I deleted my Twitter account a couple of weeks ago. Someone (I think here on hacker news) pointed out that just posting to Twitter would be creating contents for Elon Musk. I know that Musk, the Wealthiest and therefore Smartest man in the world, has put the Twitter acquisition On Hold, but I still didn't want to create content for someone else (Jack Dorsey, ugh) to monetize. So I deleted my account.
Yea this is the real hacker dream machine, I’m always sad framework is getting more love when it’s not open hardware or open source.
Don’t?
I think this project is nostalgia-bait, but it's a good example of what you can do with the framework mainboard.
Unfortunately. The more expensensive ones outside of the x1 carbon line are still upgradable.
>Look at request inspectors, log files, etc. Network behavior is easy to observe.

Correct but do you know of any way to look at the cache hit ratio, stuff that didnt fit into the browser cache and other stats? I understand you can do it on a page level but I want to accumulate all of sessions and look at it aggregate and yet to find a easy way to see under the hood

>Make sure as much of your corporate intranet stuff as is reasonable counts as >same domain for purposes of cache sharing, and standardize on a single version of >your frontend libraries, etc, and you might actually get cache hits naturally. >Standardizing frontend libraries is hard, but if shaving the couple of ms here >and there is important, I'm sure you can find a way.

Correct but there is no guarantee its in the cache whereas my effort is to publish my app's shell/versions of frameowrks before I enroll users to my app

>Now, maybe you've got a lot of work from home with terrible networks; that's >pretty common today, or maybe you're work from the field and have had terrible >networks forever. In that case, it might make sense to do something like wrap >your web pages in electron where all the html/css/js is included and you only >need to fetch data and you've got full control over the caching. Nobody on HN >likes electron, but it would solve your enterprise problem. You might consider >actually making an application, but that's unfashionable these days.

Now, this is new, I need go learn this electron thing
transit pricing can still be had readily for ~.10 cents per megabit. that's per second mind you. so you pay for capacity not for bits transferred. {$cloudprovider} makes a sweet margin by upselling that to you in terms of bytes transferred. CF wrote a post explaining it [1]

Obviously, you would need to manage servers,colo,network and keep it up on your own, or pay for it. And cloud providers offer alot of value as well. but if you are at the right scale you can diy it (in-house ops/network team) you can save ALOT of money.

You're thinking of "species".
good luck finding cheap parts for your framework laptop. Lenovo however can be repaired for years with off the shelf components and at very low cost.
Good time to plug my favorite nature documentary ever, Attenborough's 6-episode 'The Private Life of Plants' (1995).
> The damn "designers" are so infatuated with their "principles" of design and aesthetics that they completely ignore the fact that DESIGN IS SECONDARY TO FUNCTION — if you make it stop working, your design sucks, no matter how good you think it looks.

The original package was created by designers too. It worked, and then, many years later, a second group of designers responded to a new set of requirements with another design, which did not. This is how it goes. Failure is a possibility when you try something new. It's not like there's a foolproof system that works every time, and if you experience a setback it's because you forgot to apply the foolproof system.

On the engineering side, applications and services break all the time. I don't generally a consider it a failure of engineering as a discipline when that happens. Failures can even be caused by mistakes, but that doesn't mean the people involved are stupid or lazy or careless. It's the risk of moving quickly in a complicated world with many overlapping systems. Design and marketing are not spared from this unfortunate truth.
As someone with no skin in the game - I really hope US does this so the rest of the world can learn from success/failure of this policy.
Exactly, or else we'd get the dreaded message of having insufficient "conventional" memory. Tuning autoexec.bat and config.sys were necessary.
Hired as an intern... but a basic client/server/db app I made to track WOW DKP for my guild :) Tough to claim for sure it got me hired but I brought it up and talked about it.
I agree. There is also information when it's not firing, the pause between is information itself, almost infinite which is odd to think about.

It seems similar to music/geometric shape. Queries by frequency filtering through the geometry of the neurons activating access to some thought-space.
Data salaries at FAANG companies in 2022
Funny timing because just last week I wanted a way to just type todo X and throw it on my Google tasks so I did that and it works great. I was surprised nothing existed to do that.
He still has to buy the assets. He's not the only guy in town who can spot a monopoly. It's a tough game buying obviously good assets.
Are you thinking AWS, or a provider like Render, etc?
>Firefox, for example has `about:cache`

May I ask whats the equivalent for it in Chrome as majority of users are on Chrome for me.

>> as my enterprise I want to push objects to my employee's cache using an API

Well, theoretically you can do it using Service Workers today (https://developers.google.com/web/ilt/pwa/caching-files-with...) but I want to do it in a automated way so that I minimize the thundering herd when everyone comes tomorrow on Monday morning apart from enabling an offline experience (users in some countries have crappy connections so asynchronously pushing it is a way to solve it)

>Combine it with some basic packet capturing of new TLS connections and I could push arbitrary JS that did event capturing on all the sites that employees visited.

Hmm..I need more on this but the idea is they are SRI checked and come from a supply source thats trusted (but I get your drift on solar winds kind of lateral attack), but if I am right then what you say can even be done with the service worker API I mentioned above
This is good advice for People without a CS degree. The Discipline and Persistence that you have shown is excellent and worthy of emulation by others. The OP can really learn much from this.

The key point is to do the hard work in all dimensions i.e. studies (preferably in a low-cost Community College to get a degree), preparing for interviews, job networking etc.
Agree in general, though I have read about cases where a neural network was reverse engineered to create a solution that did not require one.
Viture One XR Glasses
Have seen similar transitions in different companies, and while I can't say anything about Heroku, it is often not the target technology or architecture that matters.

For instance I've seen PHP -> nodejs transition while moving to micrservices, and while the ideas made sense on paper:

- It didn't come from the engineers at large. Most weren't phased by the prospect and the main engine for the change was the top architects and the engineering management.

- target architecture and language were very popular, and easy to hire. Incidentally salaries would be cheaper for same level of experience engineers.

Predictidbly a ton of the existing engineers left and new blood came in, and it was mostly according to plan from what I gathered. Some of the "old folks" stayed at a premium once they were the only ones left with enough knowledge, but they got relagated in side "experts" roles and the product as a whole saw a big change in philosophy (I think mentally what was seen as the "core" also became "legacy" in everyone's mind as engineers moved away)
There was a rapid growth of CO2 that started around 200 years ago[1]. To get a time with the same levels as today, we have to go back 14 million years[2]. Back then the species alive were different than the species alive today, with one notable difference being humans. I don't think it's safe to assume we can take the CO2 levels back tens or hundreds of millions of years and assume the species alive today will handle that well.

>I suspect the answer 200 because it is assumed these days that CO2 produced since 1800 is all man made. Would like to genuinely know if that's the case or I'm missing something.

I came up with the number 200 because that's when the graph looked like it started going up. I definitely think it was caused by humans, but I didn't pick the number 200 based on some human historical event, but rather just by looking at the graph. Regardless of whether it was caused by humans, I think such a giant increase is disturbing and should be carefully analyzed for potential problems and dealt with if there are any. AFAIK, there was no CO2 increase as steep as this in history even going back hundreds of millions of years.

Which employers, specifically? I work for AWS and they do not have such a requirement. Doing so is completely voluntary.
On that note, I don't get why it doesn't mention if there are any other (standard) methods of depreciation accounting that are more realistic for this kind of asset. The author mentions that oil well already have this issue and so you could just see if their method works.

Wikipedia gives a list of the other ways: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depreciation#Methods_for_depre...

(I also vaguely remember a lot of people screaming bloody murder about how it's unfair to oil wells to get accelerated depreciation.)
Am I misunderstanding Figure 1? It looks like even with a very aggressive high-pass filter (see HPF-50 in Figure 2), the model is still extremely accurate. That feels like a red flag to me - it makes me think there is some sort of leakage in the imaging that isn't being accounted for. It seems so implausible that you could tell race from the HPF-50 image that I'm worried I've completely misread the figure.
If your house is still on-grid, you still have to pay all of the grid costs.

If your house is off-grid, and you have to invest tens of thousands of dollars into battery capacity, your economics will look worse then the grid's economics.

Because if batteries were a cost-efficient way to deal with solar's intermittent generation, every utility in the world would be tripping over itself to order batteries by the TWH.

They, uh, aren't.

I also can't optimize my energy usage around the sun. I'm not home when the sun is shining. I don't have an AC. I don't run heat most of the year. I need electricity for lights (Because it's dark), and appliances (which I use when it's dark, because that's when I'm home).

I would a lot of on-site storage to get me through the days when it gets dark before I'm home. This is not cost-efficient. It would be cost-efficient if my entire town could aggregate their generation and usage... At utility scale.
I think your own ignorance of Bitcoin's history is showing. Centralized decision-making saved Bitcoin.

"On March 11, 2013, Bitcoin experienced a technical crisis. Versions 0.7 and 0.8 of the software diverged from each other in behavior due to a bug, causing the block chain to “fork” into two.

The optimal course of action (and, in retrospect, the only one that avoided serious risks to the system) was first proposed and justified 16 minutes later, and the developers reached consensus on it a mere 20–25 minutes after that. Shortly thereafter — barely an hour after the discovery of the fork — the crisis response had effectively and successfully concluded.

Without the central co-ordination of the Bitcoin Core developers and the strong trust that the community places in them, it is inconceivable that adopting this counterintuitive solution could have been successfully accomplished."

Threat model is a good question.

For the sake of the challenge let’s say we don’t trust the person (or people) creating the document.
Let’s also assume they have a vested interest in proving that a thing happened when it did not.

In the case of the scenario above: The person in charge of the records is a traitor and if they can “prove” that the meeting took place on a specific day the president will be impeached.

What we do trust is the servers that are used when a document is submitted, but all we can be sure of is the time of the submission (and the fact that it’s signed by the document creator, but we don’t trust them)

Since the document creator could be offline for an extended period for non-suspicious reasons, we can’t use submission date as creation date.
> How is this being so certainly attributed to packaging change?

Consumers complained about the packaging.

Sales fell 20% in the two months following the packaging rollout

Sales presumably rose after the packaging was reverted (although I don't see a specific calling out of this).

Presumably the product didn't change (it takes a while for people to notice and respond to a product change anyway). Advertising changed, obviously, but I'd guess the spending stayed the same, or even went up.

You could probably run user studies too, but those weren't reported. Maybe pay for the product to go on the Price Is Right with different branding and see how it affects price guesses, etc.

> And why would you move away from such a strong and heavily advertised image of the straw in the orange?

Yeah I dunno. The cap shaped like an orange was cute, but practically invisible. The glass of orange juice wasn't very distinctive at all.

As far as Javascript books goes this looks pretty replete, kudos to the author!

I will add it to my bookmarks to recommend to new developers alongside the excellent Eloquent Javascript [1], which for all I know probably is missing some things between when it was written and now which this modern javascript tutorial seems to cover. Very cool!

This and many other "japanese luxury products" will for sure go down the drain when for a drop of 5% in quality (which is already quite subjective) you could get virtually the same product in other brand for about 60% of the price, this (pretentious) focus on the details will kill many of those products/brands

It doesn't.

Conservatives argue that all people should be required to publish anything produced by a conservative, as anything else is censorship. Conservatives, and this conservative law, are unequivocally opposed to free speech. This has been their position for decades, this law is just a new variation: forcing people to host speech against their will, rather than the traditional conservative censorship.

Trump and similar "conservatives" got "censored" after repeatedly breaking the same rules against misinformation, false claims, etc. He could have avoided "censorship" by simply stopping those false and fraudulent claims, but he didn't and was subsequently dropped from multiple platforms - for the same reason anyone else would have been banned from those platforms.

The problem is that conservative politicians have aggressively pushed for suppressing content that they don't like, and now they're seeing people suppress content that they actually like, and they want that to be people suppressing that to be illegal as well.

I want to be very clear - to me there is a large difference between an actual conservative viewpoint and the "conservative" viewpoints that are getting legal protection. "conservative" seems to be false/misinformation rather than any position on social spending, taxes, etc
