What about all the parents that want private schools vouchers as well, are they billionaires seeking to destroy education too?
isn't that the whole point of globalization anyways? We wanted super cheap fabs, we got super cheap fabs. The problem is that the cheapest way to get something done may or may not be the most strategic move from a governance standpoint when you don't have a great relationship with the country who is responsible for all of your fabrication.
Sadly, this tendency to keep the data proprietary instead of open is found in almost all projects, ususally because of simple US or European copyright reasons.
There are ways around this, for example in other countries the copyrights have expired, the copyrights don't always apply, people can be contacted and asked to waive copyrights and new pictures could be made to replace the copyrighted ones, etc. You can 'quote' much of the copyrighted material. There have been government (over)rulings of copyrights.
All that implies work that the citizen scientists can do as well.
Is is somewhat remarkable how many successful candy companies are German or have German roots. I wonder why. My own great grandparents, who were German, worked as chocolatiers.
how close are you working with others? a small team that goes through developing and releasing a product will develop closer relationships than individuals who work by themselves just picking off items from the big task list

That's actually a motivating reason for why people and companys tend to like Rust . many people transition to rust because c++ has become very bloated, complex, and the rules for what happens in the language can be more complicated than x86 assembly...
Using a non-OSI approved license hurts your users considerably more than AGPL (and this is coming from someone who generally doesn't like the AGPL). Legal teams are far less likely to approve licenses like the one you've chosen, than AGPL.

I could convince a legal team to allow an AGPL service, depending on how we were using it. It would be difficult to get them to allow us to use this license, and I definitely couldn't convince them to allow us to contribute to software using this license.

Effectively, you've ensured you won't have a community, because in reality the project is closed source, and dead if your company dies, which means it's not an option for me to consider.
Maybe they can use the Logan's run solar car sound as a stand in for engine noise. Or grippier tires too but then that gets loud on the highway. Maybe a certain frequency would be noticeable (rumble) at low speeds but ultrasonic at high speeds?
Dishwashers take longer now because they only run half of the jets at once. Cycling between the top and bottom half. Cleans just as well, uses half the water, takes twice as long.

It is plausible, we only have to look to social media and politicians to see what they do to people.

Take prophecy its much like crystal ball gazing, where the crystal ball reader gives a vague report which is open to interpretation for people who are looking for hope can get something to cling onto. A good example is left handed people have historically been seen as wrong 'uns in the bible so right handed people can be prejudiced in much the same way as the rich look down at the poor or white Americans generally view non whites as inferior.

When looking at "spiritual" experiences sometimes the experience can give a clue to what sort of drug may be involved.

For example DMT aka Dimethyltryptamine often generates fractal machine elves hallucinations.

LSD is reportedly fuzzy visuals if Timothy Leary's book is anything to go by.

Hallucinogens suggest to me the parts of the brain they affect.

So when looking at religious texts like some listed here https://www.openbible.info/topics/prophecy_visions_and_dream...
how much of the bible is really just accounts of people who have knowingly or otherwise ingested some drugs? They didnt have science like we have it today so like we see with some scientific studies, we see a level of explanation projected onto the results that sometimes causes the tail to wag the dog, aka becoming a self fulfilling prophecy.

Whats scary is that even today the sky fairies aka god(s) still control much of this planets population through govt, religions or just generally superstitious people. Like alcohol, its a way for people to blame anyone but themselves for their actions, whilst also offering a form of very cheap psychological therapy.

I think people generally recognise that AI is good at spotting what humans can not as this article suggests. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-61609689
""AI can sniff out areas of significances. Humans do a very bad job at layering data, whereas AI can do it in seconds," says Mr O'Shannessy."

Its quite likely AI will probably end up killing religion, prophecy, superstition and erratic behaviour in general, unless drug taking increases through the relaxation of cannabis and other drugs.

I think it is incredibly unlikely personally. We have evolved nearly beyond environmental dependence, certainly beyond local environmental problems, and it is difficult to imagine our extinction as long as there are some plants and insects that survive. Possibly we could even persist on algae farming.

But if you add the fact that antibiotics will be in short supply, novel zoonotic diseases will ramp up, and most knowledge of how to survive in the wild has been lost and probably can’t be reconstituted in a couple of violent generations, I can see how it could come about.

There is also the social and psychological impacts of that scale of loss, and there are some other sort of scary indicators you could lean on (Calhoun rat experiments) to indicate that there are limits to what animal populations will reproduce through.

I’m not worried about it — we seem like a pretty robust system from my perspective. But it is interesting to think about abstractly.
Hah I literally googled it and used this exploit in the browser. Someone else did the hard work for me. For the ads there’s some python scripts that aren’t working but it’s not super difficult to figure out.

We could be producing 100% of today's electricity consumption at near-zero carbon emissions.
I just used https://github.com/RootMyTV/RootMyTV.github.io not sure it’ll work on the OLED TVs, I got a $200 50’ on clearance and didn’t want all the crud. I’m thinking of adding some cron jobs to it that disable it during certain hours so my kids can’t watch tv all the time and fun stuff like that.
Many people used to think that Nokia was a Japanese company too.
The original was junk. It only has cachet because of the association with the movie. Maybe the idea was nice, but the execution on the original was wanting.
Also, still the best.
Why have we spent $2 trillion so far on Iraq (even if you believed it was linked to 9/11 and 3000 deaths) when Alzheimer's disease costs $200B annually and costing about 5 million a few decades of life? (I'm approximating lost QALY as ~5 million/year, or about 20x 9/11s every year)

We should be investing in high ROI life-saving actions, not emotional impulses. Let's put serious money behind defeating aging, which currently has a 100% fatality rate and was highly comorbid with COVID-19.

Rust does not, in fact, require you to write correct code. No language can do that. The best a language can do is make it harder to write certain kinds of incorrect code. And, libraries coded in a powerful language can do that, too.
What a lovely demonstration of Occam’s Razor. I’m convinced.
Indeed. A larger grid enhances our ability to tackle any problem (to cope with any broken production unit or powerline) and to select which unit will generate power (thus offering more options, for example from an economic perspective). This is a powerful incentive, and in Europe leads to major efforts since the 2000's.
The world contains more people than just you and your family.

I was bummed to not see mine as well, but I (and they) also understood that a shared sacrifice was necessary to make.
I'm an all-season rider who lives in a city that loves salt. Most of the drive train on my older road bike (plus cables, cable housings, and the rear wheel) has been replaced piece by piece for considerably less than your modern SRAM derailleur. Parts are readily available and most modern bikes use the same components. Sure there are modern bikes where replacement parts are considerably more expensive, but they're easy to ignore unless you are in the market for something specific. Then again, the same thing could have been said about bikes 10, 20, or 30 years ago. This strikes me as being in sharp contrast to most electronic devices and many electric appliances, where finding something repairable is the exception and it may not even be possible if the given component is specific to a given model or manufacturer.
So because of the way temperatures seem to you subjectively, you're going to say there is a worldwide conspiracy of everyone who works on historical climate research to fudge the numbers?
Ask HN: Where to deploy a Spring Boot app with a fixed spending cap?
I have a simple Spring Boot app using Postgres that I'd like to deploy but I'm finding it to be surprisingly difficult to figure out where exactly it should be deployed. This is still just a hobby project so my biggest priorities are (1) low and capped cost and (2) ease of setup and deploy.

AWS was the first place I looked, but the pricing is pretty confusing so I'm not sure how I would guarantee that costs would stay below a certain amount. It also seems like there are a number of similar options to look at and it's not clear to me which is best - EC2, Fargate, Beanstalk, App Runner...

Google Cloud also has a few options, the main two I'm aware of are Cloud Run and App Engine. Main concern here is again the potential for unintended costs. I've seen horror stories like "We Burnt $72K testing Firebase + Cloud Run and almost went Bankrupt" [1]. Of course that's a fairly novel outcome, but it shouldn't even be in the cards that charges exceed my intended cap.

I've heard good things here and elsewhere about DigitalOcean droplets and Render.com but is it really $20+/mo for just 2gb of RAM? Not sure how much RAM I actually need though and the 512MB for the starter / free tiers might be fine.

I've also heard a lot of praise for Heroku, though also that it's been slowly going cold since getting acquired by Salesforce.

I've also heard people suggest just renting a dedicated server from places like https://www.hetzner.com/, https://www.kimsufi.com/us/en/index.xml, or https://lowendbox.com/, though that seems like a good deal more work that I'm looking for as someone with minimal devops experience.

Right now I'm planning on just starting with the free tier for Render.com since that also seems like a convenient way to setup a cheap/simple Postgres instance. Would otherwise go the same route with Heroku or DigitalOcean.

Are there any options I didn't consider here? Anyone else have hobby/POC/low-scale Spring Boot deployments and like their setup?

The financial sector has the largest amount of compliance to contend with, but even with all that compliance history shows there are always loopholes and interpretations which need to be tested in court. What is also common, is big business doesnt advertise the testing of boundaries, they just go ahead and do it.

Just look at the K2 tax avoidance scheme
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K2_(tax_scheme)

Or look at the big tech companies running their affairs through offshore tax havens. I think you would have to be naive to think that scrupulous companies exist, their primary objective is existence and profit making which can involve some risk taking.

2. Learn to Budget if you don’t already

3. Max out retirement accounts

4. Place remainder in index funds; S&P is a great one to start with

5. Invest some time into learning more about finance

- I highly recommend the 2008 MIT open course by Andrew Lo [0] to learn some fundamentals; options, futures, portfolio theory

6. Learn some tax basics such as:

- Cost basis

- Capital gains/loss

- Capital Loss write off

- Capital loss carry forward

- Tax Loss harvesting

If you aren't completely against ALL government intervention, people might like the fact that teaching Linux is teaching independence.

The people that love private enterprise are the often same people that think small engine repair is an essential life skill, and don't want big tech watching them.

It's not greasy and rumbly and subjectively "real" like the easy-to-market stuff, but it's still a form of self reliance to remove your dependence on a company known for randomly changing stuff whenever they want.

Same with electric cars really. Research into sustainable nonlithium batteries and cheap PV means a possibility for you to never need to buy gas again for the 30 year life of your solar panels if they pull it off.

Then again, some people don't like anything that doesn't feel solid and substantial, and the people most interested in independence might want completely tech free schools. Seems like a lot of people want to go back to paper.
you can spend a decade living with someone without any shared struggles. relationships can have the same problem. they love each other, but they never had to actually rely on each other. if that weren't so there would not be any divorces.
Not sure, but presumably it would work with any API provided by pure Python code.
Yes. It's nearly impossible for normal people to get loans for land and materials.
Did they ever release a full version of this?
I don't think so. I'm not particularly interested in 'status', but I do want to propagate my opinions. When I'm replying to a comment online--like this one--I'm not really thinking of changing your opinion. I'm thinking how other people are going to read our comments, and what opinions they're coming away with. I don't care what they think of me, or of you, but I care what ideas propagate. Unfortunately, that undermines our conversation.
I think it was from "On the Wisdom of Life: Aphorisms":
https://gutenberg.org/files/10731/10731-h/10731-h.htm#link2H...

There are a few in there that seem close to what I remember. Maybe this one:

"The sublime melancholy which leads us to cherish a lively conviction of the worthlessness of everything of all pleasures and of all mankind, and therefore to long for nothing, but to feel that life is merely a burden which must be borne to an end that cannot be very distant, is a much happier state of mind than any condition of desire..."
A lot of the time HN users just have very different priorities and tolerances. I see all the time people ranting about induction stove touch controls. I have used both gas stoves and inductions for years and the touch controls never bothered me, yes they beep and disable if you spill water on them, but you wipe it with a paper towel and move on. While cleaning a gas stove with knobs is a huge pain that impacts me so much more.

There is no objectively right opinion. It just depends on how much you are bothered by either downside.
I like this a lot, however, it would be great if he had created and actual robot that created the windows for real. My great grandfather was an expert at these and restored them for many churches; to see a robot learning and practicing this skill would be very cool.
> and then learning that the great leap forward for Angular 2 was "yeah we're going to throw all that bullshit out we were wrong.

I wasn't in webdev-land when the migration happened, but as someone who maintains both AngularJS and Angular2 code, they don't seem all that different.

Especially considering the later versions of ng1 tossed out all the globals (components with isolate scope by default) and moved to class-based directives. And then ng2 came along and rewrote everything into a prettier API (typescript with decorators and shit). But otherwise they both seem to have the same design when it comes to change detection, dependency injection, controllers / views, etc.
Mint already provides a distro like that. I think the missing part is application software.

As a senior engineer pushing staff, my job is partly to code and also partly to mind the architecture, practices, and quality of the several teams I have a hand in. To be a resource for problem solving, voice of reason in org level design and postmortem reviews, represent the org’s needs in company-wide projects, etc. My job’s not all about that, but it takes up a lot more of my time with the demise of the hallway conversation and the fog of Zoom making meetings a lot less information-dense.
>It's like we've forgotten how to function as humans

I like to bring it up whenever I run out of dishwasher soap: "I ran out of dishwasher soap so I used some liquid dish soap." I do it because it's always followed up with "Did it make a giant mess in your kitchen?" "No, I put a few drops of it in with a bunch of baking soda, worked like a charm!"

I had wondered what I would MacGyver for baby formula, if it were at all relevant to my life right now.

In my field, often times weekend work is needed to get actual work done, as most of my day is filled with meetings or other random things that require my attention — answering important emails, mentoring, managing the backlog, etc. Sure I have time in between these things, but rarely enough to focus uninterrupted for several consecutive hours. On a weekend I can knock out or catch up on things that would otherwise take me a full week or two under my normal week load. It’s just the way it is.
Lots of developers just weren't/aren't good at deploying things, I don't think Ruby was any more difficult personally.

Unfortunately you are still trolling, and I hope you are aware enough to see it.

I'm not going to do all the work for you, because I'm tired and certainly tired of teaching critical thinking to adults, but take a look at _excess_ deaths since the COVID-era started[1].

That is key, just like all the fears of a devastating food shortage on the horizon because Putin needed to get his gun off.

Outside of math class, you can't play "Direct cause of death from COVID" vs. "people starved to death by their own government" or <insert issue you have feel the need to play "well, actually..." tonight>.

Nuclear's load-following capacity is quite limited and not sufficient for a grid: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=natmaka#31559869

France is a leader at this game, but nonetheless uses fossil fuels (nowadays 91%) to generate electricity (it is also due to peak consumption).

Maybe I'm missing something in the description of the exploit, but don't sites that use email address during account creation typically send some sort of link/code to the provided email to verify ownership? So does this vulnerability assume the attacker has access to the victim's email? If that's the case it seems like "pre-hijacking" would be the least of concerns.

> The problem is that we’re not actually that unique as individuals. As much as we’d like to believe in our special nature, we’re pretty much mostly similar to other human beings.

I don't fully agree. Most of the population is indeed like that, but truly unique individuals do exist - I had the privilege of meeting a few.

> Any skill or attribute you claim makes you unique—”I’m really funny”, “I’m good at shining shoes”, “I’m an attentive lover”—you can always find someone else better than you on that dimension.

This reminds me of my friend who told me one time that he's seeing someone, so naturally I asked what she's like.

He answered with a set of skills/talents like "perfect pitch" etc., to which I replied "are you dating or are you hiring her?".

It's not the skills an attributes that make us unique and interesting, but what emerges from their combinations.

Case in point: my SO has pretty bad eyesight, but in exchange a heightened sense of smell - I've seen her detect gas being let out of a stove during a routine checkup two floors down. She is also a kind person and a great listener.

What emerges from these traits is (among other things) the ability to tell someone that they should visit a dentist without upsetting them - especially when they're yet not fully aware of their condition.
The competitive insentive is why social pressure not to work is important. It's a basic zero sum game: If you work more, I also have to work more, and the competitive advantage evens out.
