I dont like my company because:
I endlessly think about solutions to problems like personal budget, relationship to my kids mom, feeling alone and having no immediate people to talk to. That my mental illness is deteriorating. That my kids will inherit my ilness. Etc etc etc.
And then i also spend too much time trying to figure out how other people function since i sincerely dont have an idea of what "normal behavior of lifestyle" looks like"

Both of these are traits of my skizotypical diagnosis being 'lack of identity' 'lack of understanding of how other people engage in life' 'emotional blindness' etc

> 4. Scaffolding being put up or taken down. Incredibly noisy, actually has to be done fairly regularly, many companies illegally do this at the weekend in the early morning as it's a part time job for them

It's incredibly unlikely that a scaffolder operating in the city, during the weekend, is a part-timer. What you are seeing is the side effect of too much work, too little time, and the natural progression of staging.

Work on one "lift" (one floor height) of scaffolding progresses during the week. The "scaffs" come in on Saturday to raise to the next lift, ready for work to resume on Monday. Your crews are out doing smaller jobs during the week but all come in for a shift on Saturday to knock out a lift on a big site together.

And this isn't illegal. The local authority is responsible for setting guidelines, and those guidelines are used to inform enforcement notices that can prohibit a site's activities between hours _retrospectively if they're found to be excessive_. Excessive is a high bar for an enforcement agent standing 100ft below a scaffolder with a decibel meter trying to hear his impact gun over the drum of a bus rolling past.

The core guidelines are unlimited noisy work 8am to 1pm on Saturday. Work to be "avoided" on Sunday.
Police helicopters tend to be heavily concentrated in cities. A better metric might be population. The US population is only about 5 times bigger than that of the UK. It therefore has 20x more police helicopters per capita.

I think most city dwellers aren't unhappy with the general background noise in a city. It's something we're all accustomed to and indeed something many of us struggle without. There are of course going to be things people will justifiably gripe about when given a chance, but that doesn't mean they should move to the countryside, that's a slightly absurd suggestion.
That's not actually right unfortunately. Things like resolution, color depth, alpha channels, compression formats, gamma correction, and meta data all impact whether you can use an asset between game engines. Some things can be automatically corrected for or just ignored, but if you want to have an image displayed identically between different games, or apps, or OSs, or even browsers it's basically impossible.

There's a woodland on Hoy, Orkney's wildest looking island, which is a great snapshot of what a real native Orkney woodland would look like. There are no deer on Orkney, so the woodland gives a great impression of the different layers of species that form when given a chance (the rest of Scotland has a herbivore problem).

Here's a great post on the woodland by a very knowledgeable person: https://alanwatsonfeatherstone.com/a-day-in-scotlands-most-n...

I live on the mainland across the Pentland Firth from Hoy, with our place looking across to the hilly island. We've planted 1,000 trees or so over the past couple of years. I'm growing a lot more from seed I collect locally from woodlands that weren't planted by someone (true local seed stock). There aren't so many native woodlands in this area and it's almost impossible to source trees grown from local seed. It's great to see proof that even on Orkney these sorts of woodlands want to thrive.

I think others have pointed this out but this is a small company problem. I was a rockstar in a previous company and then went to a FAANG and lets just say, I am not a rockstar there.
agree, but that is not the game I am describing. many free to play iOS and Apple games use an in-app purchase model and users are fine to pay $1-2 to add new skin or expand their play. in those cases the assets are locked to your apple account, and also include a 30% take fee.

acquiring an nft does not even need to include payment at all. assets can be distributed to users for non monetary reasons, such as some achievement or action taken in the game, or defeating some other player in a pvp battle based on a mix of skills and random chance and as a result winning their hand or rare loot or whatever. it is up to the game to decide these things.
The way i've been looking at it is thru the lens of allocation ratios. You never have one asset with a high allocation (compared to another). You also have to decide ahead of time (when you start investing) what an appropriate allocation ratio is between the different assets (e.g., you might have 10% bonds, 80% stocks and 10% crypto).

Then, one or twice a year, you an reallocate assets as they drift away from the ratio. Doing it too often is detrimental, so my guess is once a year is "enough", and may be keep an eye on any fluctuations and if it grows bigger than some threshold, you do a second rebalance.

Let's say in 2021, crypto had a huge bull run, and went from just being 10% of your allocation to something close to 20%. It makes a lot of sense then, to sell the 10%, and rebalance back into the other assets you hold.

That's not really a fair comparison. Bitcoin cannot has very limited use for actual commerce - actually paying for stuff. So you also need to consider the inconvenience, complexity and cost of trading the received BTC for local currency.

I haven't paid anything for international transfers within the SEPA area for years. Depending on the source/destination bank, the transfer can be completed within an hour or so.

Sometimes the solution is simply better banking infrastructure. The banking/payments system in the US is a mess but it doesn't have to be so.

Show HN: Job Boards in One Place
I am on a mission to help people to find a good job, for now mostly are from companies in the tech industry, however there are plenty of non-tech roles.Remote jobs are trending and non-tech industries are offering remote roles.

I am curating a list of the best job boards in the world in one place, Job Board Search https://jobboardsearch.com/ there are 252 so far, also there is a filtering system and now I am working on a crowsourced raiting system.

If you are a job hunter for sure this list is going to help you to find and get a job!

Would be great to have some feedback about the website, how could it be more helpful and useful as a job seeker. What features would you add. Any feedback is helpful

Also if you know any job board not in the list please let me know.

Thanks :)
> Most free, advanced countries say more.

I'm not so sure. Europe is pretty conservative, and people tend to play it safe. Japan is obviously even more so.

US is probably unique in its pushing the young to follow their dreams. This probably comes from its singular history - not so long ago, millions of regular American were starting successful ventures from scratch - whether it were farms in the wilderness of the West, or small businesses in towns. That was quite unique time and place in world's history, when the common man had actualy some agency and could conceivably start something from scratch with a good change of success. Meanwhile, Europe and the rest of the world was already mature, overcrowded and calcified, with little room for organic growth. Now, in XXI century, America in terms of opportunities is becoming more similar to rest of the world than to XIX century's past self - but the values and attitudes have not caught up to that yet.
Yes, same here. OP has jumped to some conclusions, I fear...

I think that is the problematic point with Caddy right now - if you are using it, you are actually a beta tester. This is a problem for sites with lots of traffic because things start to be different with servers maxed out - Nginx is battle hardened, learned it´s lessons and you can be sure that it works under extreme load as expected.

Also you definitely need rate limiting out of the box, not as some beta plugin that needs to be fiddled in manually.

Also streaming is something that needs really good testing with high loads.

K8s is important for many people, too.

Of course it is not easy to find someone willing to test on a high traffic site when there are well established alternatives since many years and no actual problem needs to be solved.

"Easy configuration" is not very important for admins of high traffic sites. Not easy to find what could be the selling point for Caddy, but it should deliver one or two special things more.

"Oil" isn't "Oil".

There are many grades of oil. The U.S. generally produces light sweet crude. The Russian imported oil is heavy crude.

Heavy crude is used for asphalt and diesel. Light sweet is used for other oil products.

Refineries can generally only process a specific type of oil.

So if you want roads and trucking you need heavy crude and a specific refinery process.

Am I right to assume that "use" here is in the same sense[1] that you can "use" "dollars" to pay your Big Mac in Paris with your US credit card? I.e. French McDonald's does not set the price in dollars but euros and does not need to touch dollars with a ten foot pole during the whole process and receives euros in their account?

One of the largest risks of project-owner compromise to everyday users and businesses would, I think, be from widely used software where automated updates occur.

That leads to an argument for updates being performed manually after inspection of the changes involved.

Counter-arguments could include:

- Users will not care to see what has changed in an update

- Security updates are important to roll out immediately

Responses to those could include:

- Automated update rollout to the majority of users could be conditional on a smaller, inspective subset community of users manually examining and approving the update first (not too dissimilar to a Quality Assurance process). In the context of project owner compromise like the example in the article, this should catch the issue and prevent rollout to users. If an update is approved "with concerns", then the review community is likely to share those concerns with a wider audience, leading to awareness and hopefully resolution.

- Security updates could be rolled out more quickly -- but with a requirement for sign-off by multiple security-focused engineers and product specialists. That could help to reduce exploit exposure time for users while providing for adequate review of changes (security fixes can, in themselves, be challenging to review and confirm).

Also potentially relevant to this topic: how would a community that uses proprietary software develop confidence in an update before choosing to apply it locally?
The most obvious use-case is not having to login to 100 shells to do things like updates or manage keys but do them centrally from one place?
I love watching SpaceTime on youtube! If you watch it, it will give you a surprisingly deep understanding of the state of the art on physics, but is the kind of show that if you don't have a massive background in physics, you either need to be extremely focused to understand it, or blazed out of your mind.
equally silly to assume that regulations will force all centralized exchanges to charge 2-5% or 30% as is the case with current payment processors and app stores. that is not going to happen except in totalitarian countries.

the reason those standard take-rates are high are not for consumer protection. interbank fees are about the same or lower as CEX take fees in the range of 0.1-0.5%. corporate infrastructure built on top of these financial systems like PayPal, Stripe and VISA are taking huge profits.
Seems sensible, especially if the upgrades to the cars are already illegal! From my time in the city (Edinburgh so not exactly NYC) the biggest improvement would've been better sound insulation between walls, you really could hear everything from neighbours even when I was in old tenement buildings, though they were better than the newer builds which had paper thin walls. Seems like the better plasterboard (dry wall I think its called in America) is only marginally more expensive than the rubbish that gets used but that margin isn't worth it to the flat builders/repairers!

It's a bit early to tell if it's a resurgence, so far everything is in the planning phase. Travelling by train in extra comfort sounds nice, but that is only if you don't have frequent stops and you don't have to switch trains in the middle of the night. Solutions like this one look like they'll be very expensive. It would be interesting to put the whole cabin on movable parts and use control theory to keep the cabin steady at all times. To remove the repetitive train track sounds for extra luxury. I hope they succeed.

While I certainly don't encourage over-policing or the proliferation of "rules" - I subscribe to Churchill's view on regulations [0] - I'm not sure I can entirely fault the police in the above quoted passage - "The driver turned violent."

I tick every single privilege box, some of them a few times over, and would think myself quite lucky if I was only tazed for turning violent with the police. While it's unfortunate that the driver's poor health led to an unintentional heart attack, I don't believe it does the rule of law much good to allow drivers, or anyone, to be violent with the police with impunity.

Glad you think it's stupid. At least you thought about it :)

Honestly if you want to think your country is whiter than white and the Russians, Iraqis, Taliban, Gaddafi, ISIS, Iranians or whoever are the big evil and you must do whatever it takes to support stopping them being part of the world then that's up to you. But i don't support that view and find it hypocritical. I don't believe in the Liberal Idealogy nor do i see any good in a US led global hegemony and at the same time i've no connection to the Rus people so for me it's very clear that I would struggle to fight for either side.

BTW you do also know that whataboutism goes both ways because you are literally doing exactly the same thing. Frankly whataboutism is utter nonsense to hid hypocrisy.

> It can be a valid defense that the law is not actually prosecuted normally and you’re being singled out.

My understanding is that in the US "singling out" specific criminals is perfectly OK for the prosecution to do (well, legally speaking, I'm not saying it's ethical or won't get them in trouble with voters).

(Again, given you aren't singling them out because of a protected class like race, sex, etc)

This looks neat! I sometimes take notes in LaTeX---this seems great for that use case. A few questions:

* What happens when you need some math notation that is not covered by mathlang, can you mix LaTeX and mathlang?

* If you define your own operators in LaTeX, can you then use the \-less version in mathlang? In general, I am not sure if LaTeX and mathlang are supposed to interoperate.

(Also, people often add "Show HN" to the title when presenting their own work. Might help you get a bit more attention.)
Water bottles in Germany also recently started having these attached caps. I think it is a great start yet still way more has to be done. Especially since most countries don't even recycle their bottles and plastic waste still. Doesnt matter if the cap is attached or not if the whole bottle isn't recycled.
I like this topic and often have debates with friends and family about "talent" vs "practice".

But ultimately, I feel that the answer to this is pretty obvious and boring: you need both.

For example, if you are very creative and have a great vision for a cinematic shot, but you don't know anything about how to frame and light a scene properly, your shot will suck. Inversely, if you know all the technicality but the shot in your head is bland, the actual one will be pretty technically, but bland as well.

So yeah, as with many things in life, try to be balanced I guess
