In the grand scheme of it, I haven't worked with that many, but every founder I have had the chance to work with has cared about sustainability. This is way more speculative, but I believe that sustainability goes out the window in favor of quarterly wins when the (co)founder steps back from their role and they transition to a non-(co)founder CEO and such.

I guess we could interpret that as the cofounder cares about sustainability for as long as it takes to hand off the bag.

Every time I try to leave HN for some other front-end, there are subtle design features I miss. Every button on HN has a purpose, is easily accessible, and works as expected.

There’s a quote that good design is not when there’s nothing left to add, but when there’s nothing to take away. HN follows this perfectly.
Sure, I could have dark mode, previews, and notifications, but I’d lose elsewhere unless I built my own front-end.

I remember trying to purchase a Gateway desktop PC in the late 90s or early 2000s since they offered a range of AMD processor options that other vendors did not. When the machine was delivered, it would keep trying to boot up and freeze. Their customer support was abysmal, and I was so disheartened by the experience that I returned it the same week and ordered a run of the mill Dell beige box that just worked. I never risked trying a Gateway again.
No, you understand. Indeed, by importing Python code, you execute Python code, and so there could be ab execution path for malicious code to run.

FYI, pylint does something similar for native-code extension modules (unless this changed in the past few years): it imports them dynamically!

EDIT: reading the code more closely and reading the rest of the comments, more precisely, it's not the subprocess call itself, but rather importing an arbitrary Python module, which could be a path for code execution. But this is the case generally with Python: importing a module executes code, and so even just importing (not otherwise executing) an untrusted module could be problematic.

Correlation is not causation. How many times do people need to hear it?
I'm guessing you've seen the Infineon (formally Cypress) PSoC [0] stuff too? Both analogue and digital peripherals that can be configured mostly arbitrarily.

There are also some neat mixed-signal parts from Dialog [1] - no MCU but interesting analogue and digital blocks all the same.

I think it’s interesting that the article mentions some mathematicians still consider the paradox as unresolved. In my opinion all this paradox is, is an under-specified problem. We don’t, after all, consider a question like “what is the length of the third side of a triangle with 2 sides of length 5?” To be a paradox.
We've banned throwaabolt and also what looks to be that user's main account.

To answer the question, it took HN only a few minutes for some users to realize this, but 2 hours for me to find out about it. Most of that time, an email was sitting in the inbox waiting. Thank you for pointing this out, and also to the user who emailed, since otherwise I wouldn't have seen this. We rely on the community to route info to us. Fortunately HN has a lot of users who care about the quality of the site.

All: if you notice anything weird, dodgy, or otherwise degrading of quality, we always appreciate a heads-up at hn@ycombinator.com. HN admins are mostly a clearinghouse for things that the community notices, so this really is a shared effort.
This seems to indicate it's been happening in the United States since before there was a United States: https://www.k12academics.com/school-shootings/history-school...

It certainly feels like someone alive for the last 40 odd years that Columbine was the inflection point at which media really started to cover this. Either that is just because 1999 happens to be my own graduation year and I was too young or not paying attention any earlier, or maybe media coverage really did pick up compared to prior incidents, for whatever the heck unknown and largely random reason. We were still early into the 24 hour cable news cycle and widespread availability of the world-wide web, but as we can see, this was not the first even in 1999.

Assuming this is an accurate list, I don't see how we can possibly identify a root cause. This was happening before there was a 2nd amendment. Before there was heavy metal. Before video games. Presumably not before mental illness, but that is hardly a uniquely American problem. Sometimes national culture just picks up a particular character for whatever quirk of history that may not even be fully known or knowable, some forgotten confluence of events that continue to influence us today without anyone knowing it is happening or why.

We were among the first countries to offer widespread public education, weren't we? This was even true in colonial times. Maybe the gathering of fairly vulnerable people just makes an enticing target. And sure, there are other public gatherings of vulnerable people, but this one has been around for a very long time, enough to have presented opportunity centuries ago and get woven into barely conscious national memes about where you go if you want to shoot a bunch of people. In other countries, churches and trains seem to fill that role.

With LE, you could either:

- list memory right-to-left so the lowest memory address is on the right and the highest is on the left (i guess i prefer this solution because it's compatible with the convention of the least-significant-bit being the rightmost bit, which is enshrined in the name of "right shift", and with the convention of the least-significant-bit being bit 0, which makes sense in formulas like "value = sum_digitindex digit[digitindex]*radix^digitindex")

or you could

- write hexadecimal values with the most-significant-digit on the right, so the byte 2 followed by the byte 10 (in decimal notation) would be written 20 A0 instead of 02 0A.

I don't know if popular hex dump programs have switches for either of those, though?
Do you think drunk driving is the only cause of car deaths? The facts don't bear this out, even if you remove the fraction of car deaths that involve alcohol impairment, the magnitude of car deaths remains truly enormous.
The problem is so obviously guns. It boggles my mind that people can ask questions like "what is the solution" and "we need a nuanced discussion" when the US is the only country in the world where schoolchildren get gunned down every other week.

It is plainly obvious to any US citizen that has spent a significant amount of time outside the US, that the problem is guns.
It’s simple. You are going to need collateral — BTC or ETH will do. Use this to borrow USDT from the open source money markets. Sell the USDT for BTC or ETH. You can double down by cycling this recursively and borrowing up some percentage of to your collateral if you wish to increase your leverage.

Meanwhile, you are paying 3-4% to whomever you are borrowing from. Addendum Meanwhile, you are probably funding an ecosystem something you are do not understand and against in the first place. :-)
I wouldn't be surprised if congestion is extremely high on ETH if USDT collapses, but I'd be shocked if the chain started missing blocks.

Do you think that USDC would depeg as well?
Ya, seems like a decent alternative
The Holocaust was a result of populism in Germany. The oppressed people wouldn't have been able to protect themselves from the majority of Germans and the German military, even if they were armed.

One of my favorite episodes is the Jonny Moseley episode (https://snltranscripts.jt.org/01/01m.phtml) and I have been searching for a clip of Jonny’s Journey ever since it aired.

It’s not included in the episode on Peacock, any idea where I can find it?

“Don’t confuse confidence with competence”

Work hard

Never stop learning
I was mercilessly bullied in 2nd and 3rd grade. My tormentors would tease me, ambush me and manipulate things to get me in trouble. I wasn’t perfect, but I wasn’t violent.

I dreaded going to lunch, then school in general. At one point I didn’t want to leave my house.

You know what stopped it? Mr. Alexander, a NYC schools science teacher who let me eat lunch in his room, saved me the Tuesday Science NY Times section and gave me science teacher manuals with experiments to do. He was a wounded Korean War vet, I believe a master sergeant who presented a very stern appearance. I’d do random errands and do science stuff and eventually helped with a few things in class. He took the time as an adult to help me understand that I was something, was a mentor and worthy of friends. Looking back, he changed the course of my life. One of the only regrets that I have in life is the I was never able to find him and thank him, as he’s almost certainly passed by now.

Every kid needs a Mr. Alexander. Someone who gives a shit and takes a moment to do something. It makes me angry that these shooters are often kids struggling with emotional problems, and instead finding someone to help, end up on online forums grooming them to be bigots or monsters.
The other trick was to use the tape loading routines to read audio from a cassette tape and digitize it as 1-bit audio at some low bit-rate (1.2kHz?). It sounded pretty awful and you couldn't hold much audio in RAM, but it was possible. I had a floppy with an excerpt from Led Zeppelin’s Black Dog digitized with this technique.
The Gun Solution proposed here is one of the more measured and level-headed assessments I have come across. The proposals it puts forth make a lot of sense, but I think it is missing a few things:

1. It completely ignores non-fatal gun injuries. I cant find a source atm but I believe around 40% of non-fatal gun injuries are accidental. To me, this is an indication that SOME level of training is required. Even if it's a $20 online course. This is an incredibly moderate take but many of the 2A enthusiasts I know would be opposed to this because "shall not be infringed" has been pushed as an axiom from 2A special interest groups. Which brings me to point #2

2. The article places the burden of action on the "liberals". No matter how sane the laws, no matter how good the messaging from the American "left" it will not penetrate the right's sphere of influence. Why? Because we all exist in our own media echo chambers. Any proposal will be completely misrepresented in bad faith, no matter how much of a compromise it is.

3. In many instances the implementation of gun control has not been lefty loonies taking guns away from red-blooded conservative Americans. The laws had bipartisan support. The Mulford Act in California was motivated by Black Panthers open carrying, and was passed under Reagan's Governorship. Bush Sr. banned importation of assault weapons in an attempt to be "tough on crime" and Clinton passed gun control legislation while also passing the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which turned us into a de facto police state.

The liberal media doesn't focus on data, it never has. Their analysis is flawed and their purpose is to drive traffic and manufacture consent. But even if CNN was repeating this article's proposals word for word, it would fall on deaf ears. The reason why we can't even have a discussion in the first place is because gun ownership has been fetishized and turned into an identity for people. It is now a facet of "identity" politics.
Screw that. If I'm not getting paid for it and the company isn't invested in my well-being or I'm seen as a replaceable cog, then I'm not taking on extra responsibilities for no pay or reason. I'll let the executives worry about business shortcomings and only do my job. Not two others as well. If I'm being paid to own my work and its attendant liabilities, I expect to be paid for that risk.

On top of that, agreement isn't always necessary. You can disagree with coworkers and still execute just fine.
but you can argue 'for the children' in order to take away any freedom. Politicians do it so often it has become a meme. They are doing it right now to try and ban encryption for example..
So basically we need a mass produced equivalent of this:

I'm on board.
It’s unfortunate since Lucid was supposed to be “Tesla, but with adults in the room” and so far.. this is actually their second full production recall.

A few months ago they recalled ~500 vehicles which at the time was basically all they had made, for a serious suspension issue. Yes, again, only a small % actually had the defect, but they were all recalled in for inspection.

I really really want Lucid to succeed, as a 2018 Model 3 owner, the Lucid Air is a more interesting upgrade to me than a Model S/X.. with the stalkless yoke, crazy acceleration but underpowered brakes, etc.

However I do not want to be an alpha tester at this price point, and am not going to be a buyer until theres a service center a reasonable distance, and 1000s of cars on the road. Lucid is still publicly stating a now reduced target of 12-14k 2022 deliveries, but we are 5 months into the year and they have maybe delivered 2k at best. They’ll be lucky if they deliver half their goal.

They can probably flounder for a while given the level of Saudi funding, much like Rivian can with the Amazon funding..

At the $100k price range the MB EQS or Porsche Taycan are pretty cool, but hard to get hold of.. and you are back dealing the the old boys network of dealers. Lots of stories of people being asked to pay 5-figure dealer markups since they know they can get away with it.

The sweet spot might be the Genesis GV60 which is basically a luxxed up Ioniq 5 with every luxury feature you could imagine thrown in, instead of offered as $1-2k options each. While the Koreans are trying to sell the US on the concept of a luxury Korean vehicle, they are basically throwing the kitchen sink of features in. Stuff like Active Noise Cancellation, Vehicle to Load charging, all the fancy drivers aids, maximally adjustable/heated/cooled seats…
Apps let a user specify the specific repos that one can have access to. That’s what we use for our company, tasker.sh.

Furthermore, we basically only ask for the one “mandatory” permission - there are scores of perms you could request when authorizing an app - and that’s just read only access to the code.
it's not like this changes the debate though even if it's accurate, if anything it broadens the argument. Cartel/gang grime is a huge issue and fueled by access to arms. Not only in the US, but also in Mexico and Latin America because a large supply of weapons goes illegally across the border.

In the UK, where the civilian population does not carry arms and even most cops don't, the police fires a few hundred shots per year(!) with a population of 60 million. In the entire post war era (The Troubles aside) less police has been killed than in the US in a year.

So if you care about the safety of law enforcement an arms race has bad consequences for everyone. And the militarization of police is another bad consequence.

It's really hard to take some of the arguments shifting the blame from the companies to the parents or the child themselves when their livelihood depends on those companies.

They're weaponizing hundreds of years of human psychology research for profit.
I typically work in orgs so I either go to the org and search for the repo name. And sometimes I just click on the link in my email to the PR or whatnot. And sometimes I just look at “git remote -v” to see where the repo is.

I don’t use browser history or bookmarks and usually follow the above.
I'm not sure how much of an effect they would have on suicides. This may just be my stereotypical mental image, but I suspect that a lot of gun suicide victims have owned the gun in question for a long time, in which case a waiting period wouldn't help any more than a waiting period to buy a car would stop people driving off bridges.

Are there any numbers on how many people commit suicide with guns they bought in the last 6 months of their life?
In probably 1976 for $1 I bought a one-page schematic for such a thing, from classified ad in the back of a magazine. I suppose it was a related version, but IIRC it relied upon 74123 style monostables.
Some states actually do allow non-residents to buy rifles, but I believe handguns are federally restricted to residents only.
I remember reading a blog post about how to do lay offs once. I can’t find it anymore but it was essentially don’t make it about yourself. It leaves a bitter taste in their mouth. Wish I could find it.

To simplify. One side thinks "guns are the main problem". Another side thinks "guns are not the main problem". Did you think that the guns are the main problem people would just not show up to the thread?
fair enough, def a reminder that not all L1s are sufficiently secure
Fantastic information. Thank you for this crash course and insight into the state of the industry!
Hey @truly- this is a good thought, but I think it would be impossible to get buy-in from enough channels to make it useful. I could update the UI to support searching across multiple channels at once, though, or pull the channels from the user’s subscriptions or watches videos list. I’ll see if there’s enough demand for those features, then consider adding them.

Thanks for checking out my project!

This isn't true any more.
Preventing competition in social media won't eliminate it - it will prevent innovative new entrants from solving its issues, while allowing the status quo to continue and likely deteriorate further.
I think the overriding lesson I learned from my time doing that job was that people dramatically overestimate their value to a firm.

That’s true of ninja rockstar developers and vp directors of business dev. Largely the world keeps turning no matter who leaves a firm no matter the circumstances.
what are you smoking? we've consistently taken away gun laws.
This is a great comment. Nothing kills a project like adding more resources.
I have noticed this with contractors on Upwork and have unfortunately had to recently start forcing time tracking for the first time. I used to default to trusting people, but I've recently had developers who were billing 50-60 hours after working somewhere near 0.

This is unfortunately also pushing me toward daily standups, which I have also avoided my entire career so far.

It is unethical, certainly. But it also hurts the honest people who don't do it.
Mental illness, mental healthcare and pharmaceutical treatments are a thing in Europe too. The US is not a special outlier when it comes to bullying and mental health.

But you don't see children being gunned down every other week in Europe.

The problem is guns.
easy to get guns in other countries that don’t have mass shooting problems
When it's a few people, the individual is the problem. When it's a large percentage of people, it's a systemic problem.

Based on what previous school shooters have said over the years, the reasoning is somewhat simple and obvious. They experience trauma at a particular time in their life, and once they've mentally broke, the most personally "relevant" target for their anger is a group of people similar to those who either caused the original trauma or were present at the time but "did nothing to help." It doesn't matter that they're not the exact same people, because it's very rarely about revenge against specific individuals, but instead a way to exert control over a situation or space that they associate with their earlier trauma.

Because they are sneaking suicides into the numbers. If you split the data up between suicides and homicides, the correlation disappears.
> If the end goal is to stop people dying by firearm, then fair enough

we are not talking about 1 or 2 people dying here, these are dozens of helpless lives gone in a matter of minutes!!

Those maniacs (first Sandy hook and now Rob elementary) wouldn't be able to kill dozens of innocent kids so easily if they didn't have access to firearm.
Flutter Web works well for web apps, that's the only target I've tested so far with DocUI. The only drawback is an initial load time of about half a minute (depending on your internet speed) that would be unacceptable for a website.

I haven't found it to be buggy, just somewhat difficult to use correctly. One of DocUI's aims is to provide a simplified SDK to make development faster and easier.

These things happen everywhere, aren’t necessarily reported in the same way.

One part of why they are so prevalent in America is how each event becomes such a cultural focus, half of what I’ve seen on social media has been people posting about this event. Perpetuating the idea by giving it such attention must be part of the cause that people go out and do these things.
The availability of cheap, unhealthy junk food is very high, and that combined with the force multiplier that is poverty is a core component in the obesity epidemic. If you are to draw a parellel to the topic at hand, availability of cheap, easy to use (?) guns combined with the force multiplier of mental illness…
> 2. Force projection. When someone who is stronger is trying to rape you, how can you stop them.

I understand the point your trying to make, but this is a bad example. Most rapes are committed by someone the victim knows. By the time the victim knows they are in danger of being raped, the perpetrator is already too close, and the gun is much more likely to be used to gain compliance than in a successful self defense.
