You're writing as if this is a bad thing, but this sound like something that climate activists would actually support? It's basically ESG investing, but in reverse. Rather than trying to affect change by boycotting companies with a bad climate track record, you're trying to affect change by boycotting people with a climate track record.
How does it imply that it is a political attack, except for Elon saying so?

True, but it's good insurance against (the unlikely event of) being banned for doing so.
I explained what it was and we took turns listening to the dial tone. I put some quarters in and called my cell phone to show her how it worked.

Nostalgia: Early 1960s near Liverpool UK. Being taken up the street to the phone booth to learn how to make a phone call (coins, dial number, press A button, talk, hang up, press B button to claim any leftover coins). Big thing when you are 6 years old.
I think that every physical system is a little biased. That's what they change the balls at lottery for every game.

I've read an article about a guy who was observing frequencies at roulette long time ago and, based on that, he made some wins. The casino learned that and switched the tables each day, so he wasn't able to win any more.
Yeah, me either. But the city I live in is geographically huge (Houston), so if I want to ride with Group X in a given suburb, it's gonna involve a long drive first.

OTOH, most of the time I can't be arsed to do that. My "home" groups are all inner-loop rides that I can ride to (< 5 miles from my house).

That said, if I'm looking for gravel, the best sets of gravel roads are all at least an hour from the city center. Same goes for the best MTB trails. It is what it is.
People always leave. Isn't people leaving the desired result?

Big cuts like that, in my experience, happen when there is an either mismanagement or an external shock that requires action faster than what can be achieved with natural turnover.

Otherwise, headcount targets can be reached by managing the hiring rate. There is always natural turn-over. If you need to grow, hiring rate>turnover rate, if you need to shrink hiring rate<turnover rate.
As a non-player. I'm confused by how and why they are getting leaked? First the how.

Are players just stumbling on this stuff through internet sleuthing? I'm sure anyone with clearance to view said documents would not be leaking them on an Tank Game Forum.

Now as to the why. Barring some sort of intelligence/counterintelligence work (conspiracy theory territory but you never know), why would this stuff get leaked? I would assume it's players wanting a more accurate experience?

My theory is it's just hardcore players/mod makers that want to mimics every real life detail of the real tanks. The info being leaked has likely already been "leaked" but somewhere not as visible as the WarThunder forums, so we only hear about it when it pops up there.

Landmark bill to limit cryptomining passes NY Legislature
He did the same thing with stock sales last fall. The sale was already in motion when he created a Twitter poll and made a bunch of noise about voluntarily paying taxes. It's bizarre how many people still take his manipulative actions at face value.
I had some amazingly expensive Nokia 900 series phone that had WebKit on it for testing something for work (no way I was going to carry that monstrosity) and I remember it being impressive that it could actually faithfully render real pages. Still had garbage d-pad interaction.

Different schools do it different ways, often in cooperation with local law enforcement. Some do things like playing gunshots over a speaker somewhere in the building, others do different things. Most are the kind of activity that can mess people up in perhaps-unexpected ways—and again, that's the adults, let alone kids. There have been some cases of schools & police going way overboard with these things and doing much worse than playing some fake gunshot noises, and those have gotten some press (I think some are on YouTube?) but I don't think that's common. Regardless, even the more "normal" versions are pretty bad.
That's kind of brilliant, tbh. The biggest downside that I can think of is that they tend to be electrically noisy and fairly space constrained. It'd have to be really small, but probably possible.
Which was expanded into Concrete Mathematics, both are good resources but I liked CM better. I got to work through it as an independent study course with a professor one summer. We had started on TAOCP together, not as a course, just him mentoring me and a book I wanted to work through. We both found chapter 1 very interesting and learned of CM, so we jumped on it.
> The problem is that this is very much a rear-view mirror perspective.

But analyzing art is a rear-view mirror perspective. History judges what is great art. Not the present audience.

You ramble about the same thing over and over again - human condition. Sure. That's a part of it. Silly pop music, formulaic romance novels, etc all have that. But what separates actual great art from entertaining art is it's affect on language/culture/thought/etc.

Whether marvel movies will be considered great art has nothing to do with "human condition" or how it emotionally affected the audience today. It'll be judged in time by its affect on language/culture/thought/etc. Any silly drone can create art that touches on the human condition. That's the easy part.

Shakespeare's hamlet, romeo and juliet, etc aren't considered great art because it "moves" you.

> and great art taps into this unchanging set of idealized forms.

No. Practically every art does.
It's all about putting in the work. Not much programming expertise required.

This isn't specific to Google, but IP reputation was used heavily for IPv4... but there either isn't enough reputation for IPv6 or the systems haven't yet scaled to make sense of it (what works for the IPv4 address space doesn't necessarily work for the IPv6 address space, i.e. storing and looking up reputation and the slow changes in IPv4 ownership and the rapid burn-through of IPv6 ownership).

What people on IPv6 are getting is one of two things: 1) Harsher defaults or 2) No reputation system applied.

In the case of Google for email, it appears that it's harsher defaults.
I think it won't be too hard.

Nothing in that (at least the part you quote - I didn't read/hear the entire comment) says you can't have dealers.

John Deere (the company I work for) works this way: everything is just in time, if you want a new tractor you order it and get it 3-12 months later. You still have to order from a dealer. Dealers do not keep new tractors on the lot, except for demo units and service loaners.

I'm not sure how this will work for Ford though. Deere is selling to businesses, a new tractor is a financial decision talked over with the accountant, and are bought/traded in based on tax deductions (the date you place the order counts for ta purposes not the day you take delivery). Cars seem like more of an impulse purchase and so people want to go to the dealer and drive a new car off the lot. Dealers (and Ford) doesn't want to risk someone buying a car and then changing their mind, which is a lot more likely to happen if you don't have the car yet. Even for Deere, dealers normally keep new small tractors on the lot.
The clarification email Musk sent to all staff had this to say:

> Tesla will be reducing salaried headcount by 10%, as we have become overstaffed in many areas. Note, this does not apply to anyone actually building cars, battery packs or installing solar. Hourly headcount will increase.

This addresses any confusion about how two new factories could ramp if overall headcount was going to take a 10% hit. But to be fair to CNBC, they probably didn't have this context when they wrote the article and headline.

All coins, minus bitcoin, can be printed out of thin air, including ETH. Bitcoin cannot because it has a hard limit of 20 million coins. This is a protection against inflation and so called "soft money". No one can just print 1000000 trillion coins of bitcoin like other shitcoins do.
Thanks for the intellectual honesty, it seems to be a rare thing in the WFH discussion.
Maybe the GP is being satirical. Maybe he was asking “why is this on HN without a reference to doing it in Rust” or one of the other commonly repeated threads on HN.

I personally wish more of HN were actually this kind of thing; less about another web tech piece that will be absolute in 3 months anyway.

But hey variety is good and it takes all kinds of us and all kinds of what we all do.
They're profitable, so it's not that they're trying to stretch out some fixed pool of money. One big thing that reducing costs can do is help them stay profitable as the economy gets worse, although that's not the only reason they might want to do something like this.
I think you're trying to say that they are not perfectly fair, which is entirely unrelated to being stochastic.
Association of Sweetened and Unsweetened Coffee Consumption with Mortality
For a time, the Niantic office in Bellevue was a tiny room with four desks and five people. The manager would sit on a swivel chair in the middle and try to work on a laptop on his knee.

Later we upgraded to a room with twelve people in it where you had to ask at least two other people to stand up and move their chairs out of the way if you needed to get up for any reason.
Yes but in this case we're talking about returning to the office, which doesn't have the exact same dynamics.

In the case of the return to office dynamic, you're specifically filtering out high-quality workers who also prefer to be remote, and the results are retention of all low/medium quality workers regardless of remote/office preference, and high quality workers who don't mind or have some reason that keeps them in the office. You don't filter out low-quality workers whatsoever because they'll at least go to the office to keep their job assuming they don't have options (or else they'd be higher quality workers or maybe they just leave the work force).
> It's a convenient little responsibility two-step - us companies aren't responsible, it's you guys for choosing high carbon options! So rather than reducing the carbon emissions of all options as much as possible, they just call it out and claim it's on us.

This argument works in reverse as well:

>Us consumers aren't responsible, it's you corporations for choosing high carbon options! So rather than making lifestyle changes to reduce carbon emissions (not driving a SUV, not eating meat, not living in a McMansion in suburbia), we just call it out and claim it's on them.

The Radical Promise of Human History
I got this email from an information request with the City of Kyle.

From Brian Gettinger, "Tunnel Evangelist and Business Development Lead" at Elon Musk's The Boring Company:

> Wanted to keep you guys updated on progress here. I am meeting with CAMPO on the 25th. I talked to {} last week and he is pretty excited about potentially resurrecting the Lone Star rail concept in a different form. I see the concept coming together like this:

> 1) TBC deploys individual systems in San Antonio & Austin

> 2) Development entity forms or reconstitutes to lead connection from San Antonio to Austin ‐ likely collaborating with TXDOT to follow I‐35 ROW

> 3) SATX to ATX system deployed in Segments each with individual utility

>- 1. Kyle to Austin

>- 2. New Braunfels to SATX

>- 3. San Marcos to Kyle

>- 4. New Braunfels to San Marcos

> With the leaked articles about ATX and SATX there is enough in public space for you to start having "what if" conversations with folks, just don't implicate me or TBC directly. TBC and I are most useful operating in the background, not in the front of the parade.

> Let me know how I can be helpful.

Response from the city manager:

> Hi Brian,

> Looks solid to me. We would love a connection into downtown Austin AND ABIA. Once there is a plan for the overall plan we will need to know what the cost is to Kyle for the station and we can begin identifying a location and funding plan. Please let us know what our next steps should be.
Thinking the same. I think the main difference is that we have inflation AND real economic constrains. Anyway what is the best way to hedge? Some say cash is king, but it is kind of counter intuitive, since inflation is high.
Devils advocate: so why are you more trusting of these other binaries? Microsoft has reputational risk, if something nefarious are in these other binaries - no "organization" is really to blame.
> Certainly any language that differentiates between async code and non-async code has the async code be a pain.

Function colouring is not the only problem with async code. The difference is that concurrency in other high-level languages usually don't break down polymorphism and other language features. Also, they don't push you to deal with lifetimes, which is a serious issue in Rusty async.

Writing async code in C# is a lot easier to me than in Rust. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to write async in functional languages, such as Haskell or F#, because they are well-known for elegant concurrency.
A lot of what's in today's mobile OSes came from webOS. Cards for multi-tasking. The full-screen gestures introduced with the iPhone X basically came exactly from webOS. Samsung copied its Touch2Share years later. It even had some advanced sync features that no one has yet to properly copy.
Now-a-days, Android and iOS kinda take turns copying each other and mobile webOS is mostly a relic -- but it was from a time when phones didn't exist to suck up your data for advertisers, so it remains charming and delightful.
The Iron Man Model: How Startups and the Military Can Work Together
My guess is that the defaults are designed to block a similar amount of spam if possible?

Most major mail providers have access to one or more ipv4 addresses. This allows for reputation + it's a bit more wasteful to burn through ipv4 blocks on spam campaigns.

ipv6 address are plentiful, so you can burn through them on a spam campaign.
Strange to see my previous factual post with a link directly to NOAA downvoted, I'd say let the data speak for themselves?

Here's some more data: LA lies quite high, somewhere between 80 and 130m above sea level:

https://elevationmap.net/los-angeles-us-1002042754

Long Beach lies at 10 m, Monterey at 5 m over sea level. With an average sea level rise of 1.04 mm/year it will take 5000 years for Monterey to get its feet wet. By that time there is a fair chance of the interglacial taking a turn for the worse with temperatures plunging back down for the next glaciation.

LA will burn down (and not from Korean BBQs) before it is swamped by the ocean.
A link preview adds value to those reading the posts. Because it can sometimes fail to process a link and prevent users from posting links is not a sign of sure malice, it's possibly incompetence (in the way the system was designed or implemented, in the business rules of requiring it to validate successfully before a link can be posted, etc.).

I'm a little lost at what your point is because if you think the above is malice, there's malice in every poorly implemented feature. Say Instagram does a rough check to ensure no nudity is contained in the images you're posting and that system goes down preventing you from posting to your own IG -- that too is malice?

I think Seth Godin describes this as permissionless marketing.

I have been experimenting with Tiktok and it is quite a feeling to put yourself out there.
I do like this because you can see if the "path" you are on towards the center is going to get you close or if you are going to hit a dead end. Because it's weird some of the ways you can get relatively close to the word and then go nowhere.

I have also found it frustrating in semantle when I get something that is "close" but is actually close because it is a direct antonym of the word.
As a worker, I'd prefer to have the time to prepare. By, for example, job hunting. Or at the least updating and polishing my resume.
For particulates, media filters actually get more efficient as they get dirtier. They also get harder to blow air through, which means less air volume with normal fans or higher energy consumption with VFD fans. I'm simplifying a bit, but traditionally change intervals are based solely on keeping air resistance within acceptable values.

This paper presents a different mechanism by which IAQ can be negatively impacted by a dirty media filter. It's possible that this affects change intervals or other measures, and it's possible that this is a matter of theoretical concern but in practice doesn't matter much. It's cliche to say that a study's conclusion is that there should be more studies, but that's really the case here.

Hey! I ran the Hot Apps competition when I was the lead developer advocate. I remember Pixi Dust. I was amazed you could get it so fast.

Fun story: there was no internal API for app stats so every morning I had to manually extract data via Excel, then run scripts to generate the JSON that powered the Hot Apps dashboard. Fun times.
Google is really strict in general about these kinds of things. I had to go a few rounds with my VPSes before emails from them would consistently not end up in spam, but looking at the headers I'm mostly using IPv6 so I don't draw the conclusion "don't use IPv6" just "if you have IPv6, which is more likely than not now, be careful and read the docs"
Yeah, exactly. Plus, I've found I'm much louder when there's no sidetone, which is very tiring.
Sorry to be this guy but that is not creativity. It’s using what already exists, not conjecturing something new.

Contrast with real creativity (what people can do but machines currently cannot) where you conjecture something completely new.

For example, Copernicus conjecturing the idea that the Earth revolves around the Sun. No machine learning model would have gotten there because it would have been trained on a bunch of data that said the Earth was the center of the universe.
Whoever profits from the private jail system is probably celebrating now the potential influx of new "customers" in their "hotels".
The ability to do structured intervals on my bike with a computer has completely changed the way I train. I cannot ride to an RPE, I can only ride to a power target for an interval. I'd probably be better at sports if I could do the former, but it'd take me forever to get that ability.
Ask HN: Scaling and Measuring Engineering Productivity
Hey!
I’m interested in finding resources, postmortems, case studies, as well as personal success/failure stories of measuring development teams while scaling them - when it gets harder to do that directly, as you would in a small team.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not advocating for metrics like tasks delivered, commits done, lines of code changed (hard to even write the latter ones down without cringing). This kind of “productivity output measuring” sounds easily-gamed, very stressful, and ultimately fairly useless.

This can be a totally different approach - streamlining the identification of blockers, exploring what time sinks developers are being hindered by. I think this handbook by okay.com is a very good example of a great resource looking at the problem from that side: https://www.okayhq.com/handbook/getting-started/what-is
Measuring the time CI/CD pipelines take, PR’s take to be reviewed, etc. looks like a very sensible approach.

What are your experiences? What worked for you? What did you hate?
Perhaps they should be manually chosen...the hint I received was a word that is semantically empty, but apparently co-occurs with today's word.
Very happy to see the CI is still around and kicking. I was afraid after Ellis Labs that Laravel would take over and that would be it. I agree that the level of abstraction is just about perfect in CI for a brand new noob--Laravel for whatever reason just doesn't quite get there (maybe it's all of the backslashes) IMO.
You are confusing 2 different things.

That does not imply that individuals are morally entitled to overconsume.
