If I remember the setup correctly, my reasoning is that two boxing is rational,anti-coercive and implementable, while one boxing requires accepting some magical predictor and also opens up the door for a bunch of "arguments" that boil down to magic (violation of causality, or "trust this black box predictor" bro).

"Fuck you, I'll not play your game and take 1000" seems like a robust heuristic given a finite time on earth and a lot more charlatans trying to fool you than reliable predictors around
The upside of using WASM is that the extension itself can be easily ported to other browsers and platforms. The UI uses Firefox specific APIs but the parts that take the HTML from a page and push it through the translation engine would also work in any Chrome-based browser.

(Edit: also free sandboxing of a blob of C++ code that needs to handle arbitrary input from the web!)
I agree. I'd say the appeal of Kubernetes is the declarative configuration of your workloads. It's a language on its own that's incredibly versatile and exhaustive. This infrastructure abstraction layer is here to stay.
I didnt say it was nefarious. When you open new lines of credit, or make an inquiry, your credit score drops. Atomically these aren't bad things, in a vacuum, yet when you step back and look at things holistically they can be part of a pattern. Feel me?
I’ve served many roles in tech. Engineer, lead, manager, director and now founder.

My experience is that when a product manager has true expertise, that product manager is respected easily by the whole team.

Likewise, when a product manager without specific expertise proves adept at prioritizing and gains a reputation for quality work, they are easily respected by the whole team.

But in many cases the product manager is a Stanford MBA with a couple former roles at other tech companies and has never accomplished anything very impressive. And these hires are corrosive for a product org. They get in and hire more just like themselves. The problem is not the Stanford mba it’s that all they have is a Stanford mba and confidence in their own skills. It’s not enough to demand the respect of engineers who have sometimes worked years in the domain.
Correct. Coding would be paid, for example using bounties (https://docs.algora.io/doc/Bounties/).

Questions on Delusional Thinking
If I claim I can shoot fire balls out of my hand, most people would say impossible.

If I claim a person in the past could shoot fire balls out of their hand, most people would say impossible.

If I claim I can walk on water, most people would say impossible.

If I claim a person was able to water on water a long time ago, suddenly I can be taken seriously.

Why do so many people not see the logical inconsistency here? Why do people not see that believing certain religious thoughts are a delusion?
I haven't been able to find a credit union near me that doesn't have cult-like behavior. As in the president showing up at my home several times to ask why I didn't activate my debit card yet. Or an application with fine print about them pulling my credit report and reaching out to every credit card listed and cancelling them so I can use their card exclusively.
It would be great to have some more helper lines when dragging things aroung and some optional snapping to the helper lines, to be able to properly align everything. I often use yEd Graph Editor (offline) and have yet to find a tool, doing it as good as yEd. It also looks like the connectors of a node, where an edge joins with the node, are always in the middle of a side of the rectangles. For many diagrams you will need more than that and an edge should be able to join with a rectangle at any place.

> The argument for goes back to Hobbes

While it resembles Hobbes description of the Leviathan, and is in some sense a product of it, the definition is more directly product of fairly modern political science seeking to systematically define it's scope of analysis and the things it is addressing in ways that don't apply only to a narrow cultural and historical context than it does to Hobbes’ normative arguments.

> Thus the people have the ultimate right to legitimate violence.

That it makes a genuinely democratic state also one in which the state or government is the people is more a feature than a bug of the definition. (Though whether actual modern Western regimes are genuinely democratic is a question for which analysis of particular states has frequently suggested a negative answer.)
Los Angeles to Houston is a 1500 mile drive. There are currently no EVs capable of making that drive with a single recharge.
yeah, doing this automatically from code would be amazing

(and probably required complex dataflow linting to ensure it)

even for apps that aren't open source, a trusted third party can run an analyzer on the source code to generate something like this; you can also have internal dashes that track what has been shared, how many times, and what triggered the share. you can hook into settings and toggle specific sharing on / off, you can ban certain kinds of sharing entirely.

tools like skyflow are already trying to provide this for regulated PII
Except that energy usage is mostly zero-sum: if Bitcoin is using all renewable energy sources [0], then all other uses of energy must use dirtier sources if those sources are already heavily utilized by bitcoin. Homes have to use more coal if Bitcoin is using all the wind/hydro. The pool of available energy resources is currently quite finite and while "the grid" abstracts away most of the sources from your view as an electricity user, it doesn't eliminate the fact that there are some very big zero-sum tradeoffs between the sources and "the grid" will adjust to increased demand with increased supply of increasingly dirty sources to meet that demand.

[0] Which is a presumption that is extremely arguable given how much we've seen shutdowns/restarts of coal-powered plants in for instance China and Kazakhstan impact the Bitcoin mining pools over time.
I'm sorry but I completely disagree; the standard absolutely should be "we're doing the best that is currently possible to determine how things work". Asking for more is entitled and completely misunderstands the nature of science.

We need to have a way to figure out what to tell people to do, and we're doing that, whether you like it or not, with imperfect information.

Also not for nothing, this data is not "more or less garbage". This is about as good as we can do in science right now, and honestly your tone is pretty terrible. It sounds like you want religious levels of certainty and you feel you deserve that.

Science doesn't get much more certain than this (and this is far from very certain in any sense), there is no "better" way to do things that the researchers just lazily didn't follow here, and your suggesting that such is the case is ignorant and selfish. You should feel bad for what you've written here.
It feels like Google ought to have a small team of developer advocates whose sole job is to find apps that are in trouble and then work with the developers like humans.

It doesn't need to be 100 people. Just 10 or 20 even. Just provide some kind of human touch to the support of the developers who make the Android app store worth a damn. Write documentation to better help other developers get out of these kinds of holes. Work to improve the messaging when apps are rejected so that it's easier to know what to do.

It doesn't seem worth putting time and energy into making an app if I know a bot can suddenly end my project and there's nothing I can do about it, and no one whose job it is to help me.

So, either there is a reason this (whole thing) became less profitable or this is going to fail. Which one is it?
It would be nice to have something like that for desktop, but on mobile, iOS handles it amazingly.

You can select text almost anywhere (from browser to even from a screenshot/image; literally anywhere you are able to select text), and in a tooltip above the word, one of the few options is translate. I love the UX of it, as it is super intuitive and unobtrusive, and works pretty much instantaneously It runs fully locally, no connection required. Slides a native OS pane over the page to show possible translations along with pronunciations and other extra info.

Sidenote: other features in that tooltip are pretty nifty too. Aside from the obvious copy/cut/paste/share, i found "look up" to be quite useful when i see a word I've not encountered before. It pulls another native OS pane that shows dictionary definitions and extra info like the wikipedia link. And the actual dictionary definitions are local too afaik.
It works, but you have to install each app update manually I think.
heres a non-constructive solution for the medium puzzle. the commutator of a row move a and a column move b (defined [a,b]=aba^-1b^-1). is a three cycle. it is not hard two see that any three cycle is conjugate to either a commutator or a product of two commutators [a,b]*[-a,b]. the three cycles generate the alternating group, which is maximal in Sn. but the group action also contains a 4 cycle, which is not in the alternating group. so the action must be all of Sn.

The idea of "best" is ultimately a lie and it's the same lie that supremacy tells.

It’s not “a throw away line to disregard significant differences” when I say that almost all the genetic factors you’re concerned about are subordinate to lifestyle factors — they are. Genetic factors can be governed (genes switched on/off) via lifestyle factors such as diet, activity, etc. Never mind that whole populations have endured famines, passing on harmful traits epigenetically, and yet, those populations have recovered well.

I don’t think you’re wasting my or anyone else’s time, but I think your post was missing crucial info, especially given the context. If there was a post about career achievement or discrimination of Finnish people, I wouldn’t post about their unfavorable epigenetic profile since the famines of WW2, lest it be construed as partial justification.

> there are sites out there where you can download apks, but that seems unwise.

You can download Aurora Store form F-Droid. It is a Google Play frontend with an anonymous login mechanism and fetches APKs directly from Google.

You can try installing Fairemail through that but I'm not sure if it will fix the login issue by itself (maybe it also wants the chrome webview or google play services?).
lack of potable tap water is also a significant fact in India - fetching / carrying water is traditionally women's work, which is not only strenuous and unpaid, but also consumptive of time.
Looks lovely! Offline translations are very welcome in a world where the most important translation engines are also run by the world's biggest data hoarders.

Sadly, the extension either doesn't work on mobile or Mozilla couldn't be bothered to add it to the whitelist.
Here's one that will change your life. The easiest way to simplify your life is to get rid of stuff. Stuff just clutters your life and mind. Rent if you can or re-buy if you barely use something. It might a bit more expensive but you save all the mind stress of dealing with it. Minimize the stuff you have.

Stop watching commercials that get you to buy stuff you don't need. Believe me you don't need another (put name of stuff here).
When were GitHub and copilot announced to be open source?
Nice project.

Quite sad Google Diagrams is stuck in the stone ages. They solved the hard parts of multi-user editing diagrams before anyone else and then just basically stopped. This would be a nice feature.
Do you know what the pipeline looks like for new language pairs being added? This is really, really, really awesome

I'm also immediately curious about using it headless outside the browser
Javascript and Typescript to an even worse degree are awful monorepo citizens. Beyond requiring an absolutely ludicrous amount of configuration they also don't fit into existing build tooling well, i.e Bazel, Gradle, etc. The tools created to work around this (lerna - now defunct, nx - awful) are entirely specific to the JS/TS problem and aren't sufficiently general to handle polyglot repos. On top of all that the Typescript compiler (well type-checker really, it doesn't compile anything) is horrendously slow and has poor incremental support.

If you are writing a sufficiently large application you are just better off switching to a mature tech stack than dealing with how awful the TS ecosystem is.

Ideally something with a good build system, good incremental compilation, proper test framework integration (so tests only run when input classes/objects are changed) etc.
Even in that situation, the PM should be striving for more domain knowledge than the devs. Devs shouldn't be expected to pick up that slack. If they are, they should be compensated for it.
Try “Russian warship, go fuck yourself!” instead.
It should work better.

Yes, you are right and I'm wrong.
Also important, because now it seems at least in germany, on Google translate, there is the translate website button missing. From Switzerland I saw the button lately when I tryed. I don't know if it is because go to cencored (russian) sites. My company blocks google translate anyway, probably because of the same reason.
Lerna is one of those "this works great!" or "this is a huge dumpster fire!" solutions. I've seen more broken lerna monorepos than I can count. Recently I've made quite a little side career of fixing lerna monorepos, replacing it wholesale with pnpm's abilities.
There are several stacked catch 22s here.

1. Often the giants don’t pursue a space until a startup proves it’s viable - in that case you have to start something to make it happen.
2. Even internally there is a lot of competition at the giants for prime real estate and promo space on the apps to feature existing or new internal projects. The more types of projects the business launches, the more it has to kill because the mobile screen won’t grow any bigger. So there is a limit on how many acquired companies will actually keep living. If the team is any good, they are also pulled in other directions. For every github and instagram there are many more dead ends and even more so acquisitions of data.

It makes you wonder: what if in addition to privacy policy and terms documents, each online property has an acquisition terms statement. That would state for users and future acquirers see what is up for grabs if the startup is ever acquired (would product keep operating as part of the deal, would data be erased, would software be open sourced, would users/employees get some kind of a distribution, etc.)
Could you link to the one you're talking about? I'd like to check it out.
I'm skeptical of the role of PMs – it often feels like a lossy communication layer between stakeholders, and engineering has to get involved in some level of detail to understand what has to be built anyway. I would rather encourage engineers to get involved and understand the domain and the project than rely on this role.

Probably people became desensitized to it, and new leadership wants them to pivot back to the middle and sit in between MSNBC and Fox. This then fits within their new more serious, investigative, fact based image they’re trying to portray.

Monetary policy conference; and inflation past present and future
The best products I've worked for took input (mainly) from three sources:

- Product Managers: a.k.a. the voice of the customer, what customer want and need

- Engineering: what's possible, rethinking the product from the tech POV, to create delightful experiences.

- Executives: Vision about what the company should be in the long term

All these crossed by a strong design team, to make sure we've a coherent UI, internationalization teams, accessibility, documentation, support, etc.

When all these align, it's a magical experience where you feel you're making something useful. Your product not just does what is requested, but it solves problems for customers they didn't know they had in the first place, because they had no way of framing it, competitors start playing catch-up, and you end up in the lead defining a market.

Typically you also end up having magnific engineering challenges with solutions that will make you proud of having built them.

As usual, always think about what's valuable and why, and push for that.

More airships were lost to poor weather than thermite paint or whatever other specific Hindenburg problem you're thinking of. Planes have numerous inherent advantages in this regard: They're faster, which makes weather forecasting and route planning easier. Smaller planes can land almost anywhere, but airships require mooring towers. Airplanes are more robust when left outside in the elements, and their hangers are much smaller and cheaper than airship hangers.

I think in principle, a blimp that could land on a field and stow its balloon rapidly could address these problems. But rigid airships seem inherently problematic; the fundamental nature of an airship (very big and very light) makes it susceptible to high winds, in the air or on the ground. I don't see any way around that.
> In terms of wind, airships with the right control systems can be designed to hold position in 50+MPH gusts. That takes a lot of power and rapid response

I am not sure: countering the change in direction seems very hard. But I do wish luck to those who are working to push this technology along.

> modern airships can do 110kph

That is how fast the Zeppelins of 100 years ago traveled: cruising speed of 76 mph.
Hi, I am part of the team who developed this and the author of the article. You can ask me anything about it if you have questions.
Man. That must be one hell of a "smoke-filled back room" where all of this snookering gets coordinated. And to think -- not a single snitch in decades to reveal the man behind the curtain! Incredible, when you realize that no two simple bank robbers can keep their mouths shut about a neighborhood heist.
That doesn't require an entire bank. An ATM can dispense cash. Depending on what deals your online bank has, you can probably find a fee free ATM near you even if it isn't an ATM for your bank.

Sure, at some point the ATMs may all get disconnected. But if that happens, your local branch may also be disconnected, so even if you go in person, you still won't be able to access your account.
In my neck of the woods wires when buying property are so uncommon my lawyer told me I was the second one ever in her twenty-year practice to do so.
I wonder if this can be viewed as (yet another?) example of companies externalizing the negatives. Pollution is the classic example, both during manufacture and at the end of the lifecycle. In this case, it would be financial risk. Founders bootstrap a start-up, either with their own money or outside investors, and these folks carry all the risk. The established players can safely wait until the startup either fails or succeeds, and buy into a sure thing in the latter case.
Ask HN: Can Software Be as Aesthetic as Cars?
I was talking with my friend once about the difference between cars and computers (specifically ricing), in that people tend to have a natural awe of "good looking" cars, even going beyond the actual specs of the engine, brakes, aero, etc. Youc an see this in articles like https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2004/nov/13/motoring.automotive.

However, we don't see this same reaction to software. As engineers we appreciate software that's well designed, but it doesn't seem to invoke the same primal feeling as cars.

What are your thoughts on this? Is it possible for software to have the same effect on people as cars?
There are countless companies who operate on a much smaller scale than Google that will give you a very hard time trying to get in touch with a (competent) human, which you should easily be able to acknowledge if you live in the same world I do and are being honest. Also I have talked to Google support staff of different levels on numerous occasions. Not saying it's great (I would rate my experience as average across all their products but I am aware that the n is too small to be significant), just that being polemic and pretending it doesn't exist is not helping any serious discourse.

The only thing we learn here is that everyone is trying to figure shit out all the time and customer support is a hard problem.

.... also due to people taking mortgages they could not pay to try and win housing bingo.

If people had not promised to pay for mortgages they could not, lying on forms to get such mortgages, then they would not have defaulted at record rates, increasing risk for investments.
In terms of acquisition statements, music labels I read do 5 year contracts, with all contracts renegotiated upon acquisition. Says it all, that's why YC says don't do a music startup. Just don't.
I think it depends more on the business model.

If an open source project is really just somebody releasing their own code, they don't have any obligation at all to the end user. If a business is releasing open source code and has some business model that ultimately turns that into profit (even indirectly, for example via selling your private info), then they have an moral obligation to be clear on how they are making money.

On the other hand, the app stores have no obligation to host projects generally.
Are there still no async write functions which handle this easier than the old event based mechanism? Waiting for drain also sounds like it might reduce throughout since then there is 0 buffered data and the peer would be forced t Öl pause reading. A „writable“ event sounds more appropriate - but the node docs don’t mention one.
