I don't believe either are in ESG indexes at this point. Tesla was but was later removed.
It doesn't just use two-letter icons. The Arabic layouts show “ع”. The Hebrew layouts show “א‎”. The Greek layout shows “λ”. The Thai layouts show “ก”. The Canadian English layout shows “CA”, the French layout shows “FR”, the Canadian French layout shows “CA” above “CSA”, and the Swiss French layout shows “CH” above “FR”.
Could it be that these 3 approaches still rely on the existence of Bitcoin?

I don't think "tokenized Bitcoin" would replace it. As Bitcoin would still be the basis for the tokens.

Similar to how "tokenized Tesla shares" would not replace Tesla. Tesla would still be needed for those tokens to have value.
"Different things can happen almost simultaneously" or what is your point exactly?
Motorcycles would be a good one.
Depends on where you're looking to work. If you're looking for startups there isn't a huge number of .NET startups. (I work for one) But the ones there are are usually ok with someone working on a Linux dev environment.

If you're looking for an enterprise job most non-tech enterprise companies still require development on a Windows machine because they require everyone to use a Windows machine.
I feel like Quartzy doesn't get nearly enough recognition for the amazing work that they do.
I mean obsidian, at least the last time I tried to use it, took more RAM than seemed reasonable on my Mac, which has been par for the course with electron/non-native apps generally.

And as I noted, it doesn't feel like a Mac app, either.

Both issues are pretty big negatives for me, even thought I have the RAM to run fat things, but my issues are not YOUR issues. If Obsidian is working for you, there are advantages to that.

I have coded on .NET in Windows/Mac/Linux. It works equally well in all environments. You can use VSCode, VS for Mac, or Rider. I use Rider in all platforms. It's an awesome IDE.

Ask HN: How to deal with eye strain and skin damage from computer monitors?
For some reason, I can work all day from my Lenovo Ideapad 310 laptop, but, as soon as I moved my desktop and ASUS monitors into the room, I've been unable to work for more than an hour before eye strain kicks in.

I've been left with a choice: neck/back strain from the laptop or premature aging/eye strain/lack of sleep from the desktop. I've chosen the neck/back strain. I would like to be able to use the desktop because it's far faster, has far more RAM, etc.

One of the desktop monitors is ASUS PB258Q. I can't ID the other one, but it's also ASUS. I wake up tired after using the desktop monitors, but it also coincides with my antihistamine intake due to spring/summer season. I seem to be developing dark brown "age spots" after I wake up if I use the desktop monitors for a prolonged length of time (more than two hours), and I think it's the combination of the monitors making me tired + the antihistamines making me more tired. I can't tell if the dark brown spots will go away or if they're permanent. They seem to be developing under the eyes and on my nose. They're not baggy eyes; they're smaller dark brown spots around the same region.

I've read that monitors can reflect the sunlight's UV rays that causes skin damage. (The window is behind me.) I've just moved the desktop monitors out. I've tried every setting on the ASUS monitors: blue light filter (on every level), adjust brightness, adjust contrast, and so on.

Would love to be able to work from my desktop. Anyone else dealt with similar issues that can offer advice? Thank you!
Ford cracked down on that practice months ago. (https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/ford-cracking-down-3-6..., https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/ford-gm-are-cracki...)
A rather large number of Enron deals (where Enron purchased an asset) were denominated in Enron stock rather than in cash. Enron executives were compensated in stock, with additional bonuses based on the stock value. Everyone was happy until the stock started to dive, then many of the underlying deals that were denominated in stock reverted to cash because the stock price dropped too low, etc.

It's Enron-ish because it's a deal that creates additional demand for the stock, then when the price of the stock rises, it's used as proof that doing deals with company stock is profitable to all parties, which makes it more enticing in the future. When the stock falls (always unthinkable), the rank and file are holding the bag.

Am I reading this right, you're using ARM now? We were using a Pentium PC (and that was already old for 2004, but good enough for for the course, obviously).

>In another case, a student used the word “suicide” over 100 times in an essay. That student later died and the death was classified “an accident” by President Tessier-Lavigne’s administration.

That's really up to the police to decide, isn't it? There's a lot of important info being omitted about this example.
Obviously there are two sides to the story, but we’ve seen horrible and deep corruption in large, respected academic institutions before, so it’s certainly plausible that this essay is substantially correct. Eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_State_child_sex_abuse_sca...

But brevity at the expense of clarity is not widely considered a good thing.

If anyone lacks the time or patience to parse my comments, I would welcome them to skip reading my comments... Why should any of us feel obliged to read everything on HN? I sure as hell don't.

Personally, I find your comments to be far too simplistic and reductive, to the point that you lack the ability to do more than snipe and quip at a single idea at a time... But some ideas are complex enough to benefit from longer, more thorough treatment, in order to avoid miscommunication.

Or maybe some people just have more patience, or better reading comprehension skills? Ya know, so we don't mind reading a longer comment that does a better job making the point than a half-baked, single-sentence hot take?

BTW, if you made it this far... Why ARE you compelled to keep reading my comments, anyway? Just ignore me, and be happy with the existence you choose
I agree completely. I live in a very bike-friendly American city, and there are still lots of deaths and horrible injuries. People still bike, sometimes with kids in tow. Electric bikes are increasingly prevalent.

I also notice that e-bikes are becoming more popular for delivery people in New York City. Hard to see how those people could do there jobs as efficiently with cars.

Bike-sized powered transport has undeniable advantages over car-sized vehicles: access, cost, climate-friendlier. And younger generations are less enamored of cars. I can’t see how e-bikes don’t win in a generation.

> You can't lead developers if you have no clue about developing. Sorry.

Yessss. So many companies dont understand that. Every time I was a part of project that struggled it was due to terrible middle managers that did not understand anything and could not decide.

They often try to dispatch ALL their work to someone beside status meetings and forwarding emails.

Useless leeches. If you are this kind of Project Manager do everyone a favor and leave.

Team will most likely not even notice you are not there.
But it isn't, either -- the main function of the software is to make printed zines. It also has some more limited functionality to enable browser export, but then those aren't interactive (e: https://catfishstudios.itch.io/azine )
Thank you for this. I'm shopping for a vac right now and this looks better than all the competition (Dyson, Samsung etc). What I wanted more than anything was a vacuum with easily available spares because vacs are one thing that tends to wear out and break more than any other appliance. I just hope Lupe does well and doesn't go out of business, otherwise there won't be any more spares.
In that case it seems like you could just have one all_requirements.txt that includes the individual files like:

-r package_a/requirements.txt
-r package_b/requirements.txt

etc.
The first guy you meet outside the cave tells you to follow the guidance of grace. The graces around the main storyline literally point to the next grace or way to go. If you follow the road you'll get there.

I did get lost in the beginning because this is my first souls game and the only other game I've really played in the last 10 years is botw. But I've always have a good sense of where to go. The times I don't I explore and find something that leads me down a side quest. There's definitely lots of breadcrumbs imo. I mean if you're lost just look at the map and go towards a castle.

I think what could be better is to be able to revisit people and talk to them about quest lines. Or have a log. Other than that I'm having the complete opposite experience of you and I'm sure I've died 500+ times in my 50 hrs.
But if you actually want to have and hold equity in a company you helped build, and want the most favorable tax treatment, you have to

1. accept compensation in ISOs, likely taking a salary hit

2. exercise, and pay AMT in the exercise year on the spread

3. hold until you can sell, but at least for 12+ months so you qualify for LTCG treatment

So you get hit with a lower cash comp in (1) which is an opportunity cost. Then you have to pay taxes in (2) maybe well before the stock is ever liquid in any way. Then you still have to wait for liquidity (3).

Plus normally the company does not tell you, an ordinary employee, when its beginning fundraising. If it did, you could at least time your exercise so as to minimize spread.

Conversely if I want to take a bet on a public company which I have no relationship to, I just buy and hold. Why is it easier to get favorable treatment for a company I have nothing to do with, versus one that I helped build?
Thank you for Blur. It is just excellent. I have been using it for years now and I highly recommend it to anyone who cares about privacy
If the governing body has failed to follow through on its own policies, over multiple years, that has resulted in poor outcomes, firing the head of government isn't finding a scapegoat.

It's taking basic responsibility.

Somewhere between being a line manager and a director, you lose the ability to blame other people for your organization's failures. It's why you get paid the big bucks.
First reaction (to the "imagine you are giving awards..." challenge) -

The "hard technical skills" award goes to a fairly-introverted IC, who is quite productive on difficult stuff (given good leadership), but not so great with people. At least recognize the guy's contributions. Yes, that's a male.

The "soft technical skills" award goes to a low-to-mid-level manager who clearly understands both the technology (though maybe not all the low-level details) and the human IC's and lower-level managers who make it happen. (And "uses those powers for good", if it needs be mentioned.) I'd be a bit biased toward a female, if only to send a "people skills good, machismo bad" message to certain less-skilled managers.
I have moved from a well-paid, relaxed job that made rich people even richer to a much harder one that's about making people's life better. It was the best thing I've done with my career.

"No, you cannot compare highly disparate countries like that."

No? You seem to like citing the New York Times, but they were previously absolutely sure you could compare them. I can no longer view this story but know what it said at the time: it said Sweden was a "cautionary tale for the world".

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/07/business/sweden-economy-c...

Back then there was no Nordic exception, because Sweden wasn't proving lockdown theory wrong. The idea that there is something special about it only emerged after their results became much better than elsewhere, revealing that public health had no clue what it was doing anywhere else.

By the way, please don't use the New York Times as a source for anything. It's both paywalled and notoriously biased.

"Are you willing to compare China and Vietnam with Sweden too?"

I already said this above: "Sweden's peers are rich western countries".

"The jury is still out about the effects of the lockdowns"

The jury went home a year ago dude, you just can't accept what they found. There is no correlation between severity of countermeasures and outcomes (when looking at countries with reliable data). This has been examined six ways from Sunday and the results are always the same - no correlation. You can tell people they should ignore almost all of the data to try and create doubt here, but those of us who actually are intellectually honest will ignore you, because that's not how science is done. Lockdowns were a catastrophe of stupidity, incompetence and malice by the public health community. They must never be allowed to happen again.

Since all these phenomena of chaos are inherent in the differential equations, how can they possibly have anything to do with quantum states? The sensitive dependence on initial conditions is a mathematical property of the description of the chaotic systems. It’s a closed mathematical system that makes no reference to any physical reality.
Visiting Herculan in Italy (the _much_ better preserved sister city to Pompeii) really put those kind of things for me into perspective.

There are street numbers, pubs, fast food joints, various multi story buildings with some of the murals intact, especially the gymnasium/public baths really showed to me - “I could totally see myself living in this kind of environment” it was … weird and uncanny, but very educational experience.
actually you are right, sound generation here wouldn't be as hard as I originally thought.
But... why? Education is hugely emphasized in the church. There are tons of members in all the STEM fields and they read the news just like anyone else. Have you ever seen a Tesla? The security chip in it was designed by member. Have you ever used an intel pentium processor? The original one was designed by a member. That person eventually moved up into management at Intel and recruited heavily from BYU so many Intel chip designers are members.
I like how this has former Yugoslavia (including Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Serbia and Macedonia) borders :)

The general pattern holds, but to be fair, this one seems like it could best be answered with “Maybe”.
"We then realize a fault-tolerant logical T gate by injecting the magic state by teleportation from one logical qubit onto the other."

Magic state... teleportation.... quantum mechanics really is wizardry, isn't it? They may as well have said "We then learned the new spell by casting Misty Step into the sanctum." I know it's not actual magic (except perhaps of the Clarikian variety), but still, the terminology is amazing.
You're looking for a completely different experience than soulsborne games seek to provide my guy. The effort makes the experience meaningful. It's just like WoW was meaningfully better before the abundance of fast travel options later added to the game, or the nerfs to leveling and item acquisition. It's not everyone's cup of tea but it's a strong, flavorful and relatively unadulterated cup of tea and we stan that.

I don't even like soulsborne games that much but I recognize the beauty and purity of the experience they provide. I'd rather be playing quake 3, but it's the same thing in a certain conceptual way.

Switching isn't impossible, there are plenty of companies that help you get off Oracle. It's just that it's risky and time consuming, requires specialized knowledge, and companies would rather pay up than deal with all of those things. But this goes for almost any complex product on the planet. Switching costs are high,
It’s one of those systemic health type things. It’s really hard to die of tech debt on its own, but if you move slower, you’ll die more often from other shocks.

Another way of thinking about it is that you have N months of runway, and based on your velocity you can pull off a pivot in M months, and the more tech debt, the more time it will take to successfully pivot. If you don’t have a full pivot worth of runway remaining, and you need to pivot, you die. (Of course this oversimplifies by holding pivot magnitude equal but hopefully this illustrates the point.)

I do agree that away from the margin, companies that are incredibly successful can afford to punt harder on tech debt. I suppose “know thyself” might be useful advice here; it’s probably not good advice for the median startup to ignore tech debt completely IMO.

I think the main point though is to optimize for agility; tech debt can let you move faster in the short and even medium term, so sometimes it’s right to tactically take on some debt. But not so much that you get bogged down later; make sure you carve out time to fix the stuff that starts to be painful.
These tips are missing before-and-after examples.

The following link (a twitter thread) was posted on HN some time ago and covers the same territory i.e landing page tips. I think the twitter thread is a bit better. The tips are simple and direct, and include before-and-after examples:

"get" them to? I mean, by taking them to court and getting a court order for a bank levy or wage garnishment if needed, why not? If it's a legal debt, it's not really optional.
I wonder if you could explain your critique in more detail. One of the constructor theory papers under discussion in this thread describes a physical experiment that was done [1]. In what sense is this not physics?

"The current re-emergence of Python as a machine learning/data science languages is basically a new trend"

This new trend is about a decade old by now. Pandas was released in 2011, numpy in 1995. Google released Tensorflow to the public in 2015.
The article provides quite a few specific failures that specifically relate to the deaths. Is there a specific reason you are ignoring those details?
I can tell you from my experience in management, if a “brilliant asshole” isn’t perceived as being invaluable, they are generally not worth the cultural chaos in the organization they cause. I have exited quite a few extremely smart folks simply because their personalities created toxicity far beyond their value.

Seems to be the same story over and over. I am also a senior dev who was was taken in as tech lead which on day one turned in to scrum master but told to keep it light and develop at the same time. Then the team grew and the role became team lead, responsible for organising and team, time lines, deliverabes and recruitment, but I am not a project manager, we don't hire project managers, still need to code as well (fat chance). You get to hate it and start to envy the junior and mid level Devs.
Ha recognisable. A very annoying problem to solve with web tech too - there’s no perfect solution to this problem (that I know of).
Very interesting! I've found that most people I know never really access the internet outside of Facebook. The idea of using a search engine is something academics apparently do. Seeing far fewer businesses with their own websites too, just telling people to follow them on Instagram or Facebook.

I would be curious to hear author and researcher Graham Hancock’s take on this. His theories on human history based upon archeological evidence are very interesting. He predicted old new kingdoms were yet to be discovered in Amazon basin. Fingerprints of the Gods was one of his good reads
Bitcoin maxis believe that Ethereum won't be stable and secure in the long term so everything running on Ethereum inherits that concern. People would also worry that the Ethereum community could modify the token in some way due to the precedent of The DAO hack.

Nounage in the wild!
I would argue there's a huge number of .NET startups that aren't being talked about because it's still not considered "sexy", super compact, or other stuff like that — even though lots of new hotness is being added all the time.
I don't doubt that's it but as also dev my first inclination is to soft delete most anything. Later do a real delete to avoid any mistakes.

Atlassian maybe could have used that ...
