I love my Konftel Ego bluetooth speakerphone. $80 at Provantage.com and has really good built in noise cancelation too. Can easily be kept out of frame and sounds great - and you will sound great too.

Your employees have deliverables. Maybe they're customer facing. Maybe they're not directly customer facing.

But the incentive structure may prioritize getting their deliverables done over doing patching at least in the short term. The corporate hierarchies for IT and their main organization might only have a common manager at the very top of the company.
Simulating four-dimensional physics in the laboratory
Just to clarify on #3 - from my original post: "while much smaller relative to everyone's car running on it". I didn't imply that the lead levels were equal or near to levels when everyone's car was running on it - I tried to state the exact opposite but, I'd clarify, the levels of lead in our environment is still well elevated from what it was prior to the introduction of leaded gasoline and lead is a heavy contaminant like mercury - it accumulates in your body and causes cumulative damage.

And to point #5 - the levels present in our environment directly contribute to how much childhood exposure you'll suffer.
The example you give is a smart one that we did explore!

Effectively, relationship is no longer user -> stripe customer, but user -> shipping_address -> stripe customer.

We decided the cost of implementing and maintaining this solution wasn't worth the benefit to the business. A credit to your later points.

We came up with a solution that allows us to ship one-off things to arbitrary addresses with correct tax calculation, and if a customer really wanted to setup a subscription to a distinct address, we could implement it in the future, hackily, with this primitive.
Searching for 'Airbnb' brings up the YCombinator logo (presumably because of the investment relationship). Still weird.

Ignoring that one, it came up with three airbnb logos, two of which are the same, and the third is the lone "belo" symbol.

Guessing 120k is closer to 10k to 20k actual unique logos.

Ask HN: Tools to prototype quickly static sites
Hi, the topic is nothing new, but coming to think of it I couldn't think of the answer.

I know how to make a jamstack site but for misc reasons I'd like to know if there was a tool (no-code or anything) that let built a static site without coding/templating it, in the fastest way possible.

Any ideas?
The thing is with the efficiency (which I'm not sure of) and the competition (probably possible) is that the current nvidia lineup is pretty old and on an even older process. They have a big moat.
take USDC: you purchase it on CEX or DEX, and transfer to your friend in another country who does not have a US dollar bank account but may have a custodial or non custodial ETH address to receive crypto. they can choose to hold or sell or exchange it for any other asset in the network.

your “investment” in the USD or ETH required for fees is like the fees paid to PayPal or Wise during a transaction. paying these fees doesn’t mean you are now a PayPal investor or have any stake in whether their corporation does well.

if this is all a scam to you then there is not much I can do to change your mind. saying crypto as a whole is a scam is equally as silly as saying the stock market as a whole is a scam. they are both financial instruments at this point with different risks.

edit: the point of my post is to say that you ETH is not about buying the token with expectation that it will go to moon. you can just buy it like you would tokens in an arcade - you use the tokens for fees in transactions in order to accomplish whatever utility the chain provides, maybe with the vast majority of your holdings and interactions in USD pegged assets with no expectation they will moon.
Which field hasn’t in your opinion?
Maybe I just had different experiences in my life, but that many of the high-income earners own unsexy businesses does not surprise me. Millionaire Next Door talked some of that, and I remember reading a number of books that talked about owning assets that generate income rather than getting a higher paying job. Even Tim Ferris's 4 Hour Workweek was coming from that frame.

To go further, I had also went through a period of exploring and practicing minimalism. And now, my understanding of "wealth" and "abundance" has changed again, closer to the classical turn of the phrase, "the fat of the land". There's abundance and regenerative growth in natural systems that have yields for humans, for those that are good stewards of the land at least.

The Android app struggles with switching off of WiFi to cellular and vice versa -- I have to force stop the app and restart it regularly, I mean honestly it's almost every single day. It's really annoying. The UX is also atrocious. The UI will frequently load with stale state but it takes seconds for it to update. I'll go to tap some album or playlist and it'll get re-shuffled and I'll have tapped something entirely different. It's honestly pathetic.

I try not to view the tech world through rose-tinted goggles but it seems to me that the only thing that keeps this company alive is the fact that they're streaming. Same with Netflix, honestly.

Exactly. I find it exceedingly odd that well-understood techniques like double integration and Kalman Filtering are being replaced by ML black boxes in the hope that ... what? They're going to rediscover what we already know? But in a format where we have no hope of figuring out what they discovered, so we can never bound their domains of acceptable performance?

"Dynamic Relational" needs to be implemented. Columns and (optionally) tables are "create on write". If you issue "SELECT nonExistingColumn FROM myTable" you get nulls (if rows exist), not an error. One can incrementally "lock down" the schema as a project matures by adding constraints. Unlike the "NoSql" movement, it does not throw out most of RDBMS concepts, just tweaks them only enough to be dynamic-friendly. This reduces the learning curve.

Honestly, I had really put my faith in Humanity prioritizing it's needs after what we collectively had to endure during COVID. People spent time with their thoughts and deepest feelings and I had felt we had maybe reached a certain critical mass in understanding just how myopic our systems have been.

They are blatantly wasteful, and unfulfilling and leave us with a Society where we are left more empty and hallow the more we climb it's proverbial latter. It appeared to me that people were prepared to challenge the status quo.

Unfortunately, as with most things, it was temporary; I still remain optimistic that we can can turn the tide of business as usual, but it will require an immense amount of short term pain as a result.

> A significant number of management is made up of people who dream of a life where they control other people. Zoom life is good for productivity but that is not what rank and file management wants.

This is perhaps the worst part about the Human condition, had I not witnessed it myself I would probably be in disbelief, but it's true: we really have a problem with sociopaths who desire nothing more than to lord over someone in order to feel superior. Oddly enough, many of those people seek political office and once they attain it will find every possible way to make themselves exempt from the rules they impose on others.

As a species we must see these people for the existential threat that they are, nothing short of that will ever correct this perverse system that benefits them.
To add to this train of thought: different diets might change the use of the incoming calories in more or less favorable ways. If you hold calories constant, but otherwise vary the diet, conceivably the body could respond with differing amounts of muscular hypertrophy, cell repair, etc. Given that different diets result in different impacts to various hormone levels, it is (in my view) worth consideration.
Headphone drivers are generally built directly into the audio CODEC because they don't tend to be very large whereas the amplifiers used to drive a speaker tend to be standalone because they drive significantly more power than what you drive headphones with.

In any more modern system, you use a different component or subsystem for each. iPhone 5 is a pretty old example and speaker technology has come a LONG way in phones. These days, you're driving watts of power into your phone speakers, any headphones driven with that much power wouldn't last very long.

Even very high end headphone amplifiers (external, chunky ones) tend to be rated for around 1W max. Typical is much lower, in the 100mW or less range. Either way, you aren't listening at that high of power unless you want hearing damage.

I am a big fan of Murphy's ML book [1].

It covers almost all the math you'd need to start doing ML research. I find it to be the ideal 'one book to rule them all' book for CS people in ML. Although, pure math grads in ML might find the book to not go deep enough.

I worked on a project using Qt for several years. It was okish, certainly a useful cross platform addition to C++ code. But it was so big and so opinionated... I mean come on: C++ has strings, what business do you have adding your own magical strings?

It was certainly part of what made me hate programming and then wake up out of my stupor to find Go and learn to love programming again.

Bye bye Qt and C++, never going to touch you again if I can possibly help it.
I totally agree with you, I had to work on the Qonto's billing system (that Raffi is talking in the blog post) and it wasn't fun to maintain. I remember the pain it was to change anything without breaking the whole system, not because the system was bad, but because it's complex and when you build it in-house, you will certainly take some shortcuts that makes it not so flexible!
Then they shouldn't have anything to fear from being honest about the situation, releasing it as the "second edition" or something, and letting it go through the regular review pipeline like any other new product or revision.

Lecture notes written using TeXmacs [pdf]
With the exception of high-storage/bandwidth websites like video hosting platforms, bandwidth scales linear relative to audience/reach so the high cost is a justifiable expense. We haven’t seen a race to the bottom with bandwidth like we have with storage because the usage of bandwidth implies the product is being used.

Furthermore, software (as a product/service) has the lowest marginal cost of nearly any product. Given the cost it takes to have one more customer on your platform is some nominally small amount of bandwidth (which depending on the product, can be sub 1 gigabyte per month) the additional expense is easily justified.

> Most are remarkably performant in the vast majority of cases.

If your metric is based on execution time, then this might be true. Many programs are faster enough where the user doesn't care, or the impact on the overall execution time is slight.

But, if your metric is compared to other languages, this is measurably false [1]. Even Python emulated in the browser is faster than CPython in many cases [2]. And, this doesn't really give a complete picture, since many CPython libraries don't actually use Python, because pure python implementations of most anything are too slow. They use python as glue to call out to compiled libraries. But, this is also the main use case of CPython: glue for not Python.

1. Python always near the bottom. See other problems too: https://programming-language-benchmarks.vercel.app/problem/b...

Just had a look at her Instagram, seems quite reasonably centrist to me, and not the one-sided anti-trans ranting you allude to.

She has posts there from notable trans people, implicitly supporting them, for example:

- https://www.instagram.com/p/CdodU8lubEm - screenshot of a tweet from transwoman Blaire White, criticizing sex change interventions in minors.

- https://www.instagram.com/p/CdpCOA9NmDp - a screenshot of a tweet from transman Buck Angel, criticizing the "one-sided trans narrative".

And some posts exposing some of the worst excesses of modern transactivism:

- https://www.instagram.com/p/Cds3MSGubdm - a young adult with massive, ragged scars across her chest, from having had removal both breasts and nipples, apparently for gender reasons, having been convinced to do so by other people online. Horrifying.

- https://www.instagram.com/p/CdpCluHNDe2 - a trans-identifying male attempting to breastfeed a baby by inducing artificial lactation through a drug that increases his prolactin levels. Knowing that the baby won't be receiving real breast milk from this experiment, and subject to malnutrition, it's quite the disturbing image of child abuse.

It's not all trans posts either:

- https://www.instagram.com/p/CdmBDsxukOm - Candace Owens being critical of how the crimes of white supremacists and black supremacists are reported differently in popular media.

Seems that she's looking at both sides and taking a critical position in the middle somewhere.
No, the changes aren't trivial.

It sounds like you simply don't understand why they're doing it and you just assume that they're trivial because you have no knowledge of the domain.

Off the top of my head, I can thing of a dozen reasons for why they'd require something to be added, then removed, then added, etc., from one invoice to the next.
Reflecting on TypeScript SQL ORMs
Do we need a new ORM and why?
A lot of this is because VCs are in bed with the media, especially tech news sites. They've been publicly and loudly unhappy with the prices of rounds for several years now. They raised an enormous amount of capital over the last few years that they are expected to deploy as soon as possible. This is all coordinated with a drop in public markets and, yes, somewhat of a tech bubble, to force valuations down and make them more palatable for VCs.

Source: Former SV startup CEO currently helping with a raise at an AI company. We aren't getting pushback on anything except our valuation which they constantly use the news of the day to try to lower.

It's not like VCs don't have capital on hand and it's not like they will all have big paydays if they don't invest it. They just want better returns and have for a while.
Hmm, I see what you mean and how that could be bad. Maybe something like the old stumbleupon interface could work.

As someone, who has built a billing system not once in my life, but twice (one for an internet privider I worked for, which counted the amount of traffic, and another one for a SaaS project(, I fully sympathize with the post. Billing is an unbelievable can of worms even before you get to taxes. Add in all the things the marketing people want from billing (trials, discounts, per-seat per usage pricing, etc), and you have enough tasks to last till retirement, no matter how young you are.

While it's by no means the best tool for every job, Drupal fits nicely into this category, including bonus points. Out of the box, you can model your entities with whatever types of fields and relationships you want, and grant very granular CRUD permissions to arbitrary roles that in turn get granted to users.
This is hilarious. I love the "whitepaper".

>One of the most important things I’ve learned about working with third-party systems is that there has to be some amount of surrender to their way of doing things. Essentially, the price of using Stripe is not being able to use invoices as a quote, and that has to be articulated to the business.

We have this same limitation on another payment platform. We just change the concept on our end to "payers" and allow an account to have multiple payers. When the user adds a payment method, they can either select that existing payer or, if they need to change the name or address, they create a new one.

The provider we use had an invoicing product, but it has several misfeatures that just make the product unworkable. We absolutely have to be able to enforce first-in-first-out invoice payments. Users will pay the May invoice before the April invoice and pretend like they are all paid up. I'm not sure why they didn't consider this with a subscription-invoice product... users paying the invoices out of order was a big problem because users saw it as an exploitable vulnerability they could use to get a free month here and there.

Thanks for your kind words. Do not hesitate to suggest some additions. We've already added close to 100 user submissions over the last 3 days. It's also a nice way for some startups to gain a bit of exposure (you can provide a description and a link to your site).
As a co/founder and core architect of multiple PCI level 1 compliant payment processing companies in the last two decades I will add as others have that billing and payments is exactly like anything else which is "difficult". Once you spend enough time in the trenches dealing with the challenging technical issues your experience and creativity leads to the proper solutions that further enhance the system. Everything is just inputs and outputs yet it is what one does in between those "puts" which matters and thus where experience can reduce such challenges.
"Sign in with Google" is just a button that apps are required to use when they allow the user to interact with Google in some capacity, but don't have their own account management system. Most apps with that button don't have the ability to get any data from Google other than your name and email address though; for apps where you are granting OAuth access to your Gmail, it is very obvious that you are doing so, so it's not likely that you have done it accidentally in the past.
