> I think you are in error if you think that somehow making the change with regulations means the cost wont be passed to consumers.

That's a misconception spread by the anti-tax crowd. The seller can take the increased cost out of their own profits or they can try to pass it along as an increased the price, but they can't just demand that people buy their product at the higher price.

First, in this respect, there is no difference between regulatory costs and other costs (e.g., raw materials); it's just costs. Second, goods are generally already priced to maximize profit (profit each x items sold), and not based on cost (e.g., not 'cost + 50%'); increasing prices (the first factor) causes the quantity of sales (the second factor) to drop. The ability to increase prices without sacrificing profits depends on the price elasticity of the item: if you have the only well in a desert, you can charge what you want for water; if it is 100 yards from a clear, running river, your ability to increase prices is limited.

For example, it might cost Coca-Cola to 2 cents to make a liter of Coke and they might charge $2. If regulations increase the cost to 10 cents, will they now charge $2.10? No, they chose $2 as the price that generates maximum revenue; that doesn't change with the increased cost. They likely eat the cost themselves.
SEO itself is sleazy. Any gaming of search is sleazy, whether active or passive. The NSA is sleazy, even though they simply report on "the state of affairs".
It would work like any other 3rd party website verification, e.g. some of these options that Google uses for their webmaster tools:

Uploading a file that contains a token and then serving that file at a specified URL is common.

So, you'd need to go and claim the money that yep.com is apparently going to keep track of for each site or subdomain.
$100 million in VC money and they couldn't hire someone to build a competent website. It's genuinely awful, basically a VC Powerpoint presentation converted to HTML. They don't even say what they charge. I don't know what they are selling beyond the fact that it has something to do with email.

IMO the best intro book is Sutton's [1], it's extremely accessible (little math background needed) and covers all basic concepts. Work through David Silver's course (search youtube, it overlaps heavily with the book above) and then you are ready for something more advanced like [2] and you can start reading and implementing research papers.

I've always thought of the Vikings as men in ships who did the actual exploring and pillaging; their ethnicity being Norse. I have rarely heard the word used to describe turn-of-the-second-millennium Scandinavians in general, only the Scandinavian explorers and sailors who were active in that time. Much like the term "ninja" (or, perhaps more closely, "conquistador"), the term "Viking" connotes a time period, a region/ethnic group, and an occupation. So if we get rid of the term "Viking", maybe we should get rid of "ninja" as well. After all it too is rooted in myth, romanticism, and cultural stereotypes... virtually no records kept by ninja actually survive, and what we know of them comes from those who hired or witnessed them as well as legends and tall tales.

That question is nonsense; you're asking for subsidies. You have nothing to offer; you're taking, not giving.

If the other groups had something to offer, they wouldn't need subsidies either.

How badly you need something just doesn't have anything to do with whether someone will give it to you.
Worse than that it's Abandonware with extra steps. He tries to justify it by pointing to the FAIR USE Act which as I noted never passed. What's worse is that the amendments to the DMCA proposed in that act have nothing to do with what he's doing. Shouldn't really be an issue for someone who just wants a fun toy to play with, but anyone touching this should go in with full knowledge.
While not a true counterfeit I'd be curious on the brands/foods/restaurants that increasingly add fillers to their products. As inflation rises companies turn shady tricks like less product for the same price and substituting ingredients to help offset the costs. These tricks tend to happen slowly so they go unnoticed to the average consumer.
Yeah, I was affected by another datacenter fire (WebNX Utah). I had hourly back up, everything was back and running on Digital Ocean within an hour. There are reasons to use AWS/Google Cloud/Azure but reliability is not it.
Things that are imitated are usually done so because the “real thing” is expensive and/or hard to get. This is like saying “why buy a fake Rolex when you can just buy a real one”. Sure, you can, but it pretty much misses the point of why imitations exist.
Does Podman work with ECR/ECS etc the way Docker does?
Not OP, but I loved Neeva’s results. That being said, it’s a bit too personalized to my liking. For example, it automatically detected my location to display the weather, and the app’s search history cannot be disabled without private mode. For a “private” search engine, it did way too many personalizations by default. These few things, and a somewhat confusing UI made me switch to Orion (Kagi).
There used to be one at one of the Cow Palace parking lots in the 80's.

Even then, I was shocked at the low prices.

I stumbled on this Farmer's Market by accident.

I had this security job guarding the Cow Palace on the weekends. The insurance was less if they had a guy on the premises.

I remember seeing my boss (Bill. The nicest boss I ever had. Never forget this huge man walking towards me on a Sunday in complete darkness besides the emergency lights crying while holding a dead cat. He loved the abandoned cats that neighbors left on the property. The higher ups authorized poisoning the cats. I could feel his pain. When I saw the bait traps I disposed of the poison. I was the only one there during the day so I got no reprimands. I thought I'm fired, while carting my huge box of fruits/veggies, and honey, but he didn't care.

Since that day of shopping at that Farmer's market I was ruined I guess? Everone I have been to since was overpriced.

(Here's something to think about. There is a tiny model of the Cow Palace buried below the auditorium floor. Only a few people knew about it then. It was left there by the architects. I had keys to most rooms, and did my fair share of exploring. Seeing that model of the Cow Palace was something out of a Twillight Zone episode. They even put in tiny cars in the parking lots. It was all dusty, but an exact model of the Cow Palace in Daly City.)

why shouldn't you cherry pick the best coverage from all of them? I fail to see how that's a bad thing. A reflection of diverse and opposing political voices across and around the spectrum sounds pretty healthy, yet here you spit because of some pompous notion that the sources are worse than mainstream propaganda outlets? You are a silly person with silly opinions.
> It became a competitive game and you are not willing to be in the top tier of players

This reminds me of some players who say "git gud" (by training for months or however long it takes) or go home. (Aka "begone, filthy casual!")

I guess this sort of overly punishing and steep learning (and eventually backward-turning effort vs. reward/fun) curve is another reason why some games can seem more like working at a time-consuming and very tedious job rather than "playing" something that is enjoyable.
It is very important to have good privacy defaults, because most users don’t change any settings, so then, those who do change them are easier to fingerprint, partially defeating the purpose.

> shelf-stable bread is a lot less of a thing in Europe, likely because of a longer tradition of bakers.

I don’t think tradition of bakers has anything to do with it. In France going to buy a baguette every couple of days is the norm (or was when I lived there as a kid). In the US, we generally do one weekly grocery shopping trip, so shelf-stable bread becomes the convenient default.
Thank you! Quick follow up question, which abridged edition would you recommend? Also, are there any recent books on the subject that you would recommend?
There are a number of places in the PNW that grow wasabi, at least one on Vancouver island, one in Oregon, and I think one in Washington. The price at my local asian grocery store seems to range from $99 to $199 per pound over the last 3-4 years. Totally nonscientific, I just pay attention when picking up other herbs. I'd guess about $129/lb is normal there. I still haven't convinced myself to make a meal to justify the expense, I don't cook enough Japanese food.

i've been reading HN for the last 4 years or so. over that time ive slowly gotten rid of social media; first by uninstalling apps, then by deleting accounts. Lately I decided to get rid of reddit, which had had a huge impact on my media consumption. I've found myself taking the time to read articles posted on here, and as such Ive found a few sites that I favor for content.

Early on I simply read comments if a site was blocked, then went to archives, and now i'm finding myself paying for sites I appreciate. I feel like this is an eventual outcome for many, but getting users to consume "long form" media is the trick. If it weren't for these free peaks at the content, I would never have come around to paying for it.
We think maybe we should add a layout alg. based on the input being relative or absolute grid position (plus maybe unconstrained nodes). Someone should create a summer intern project to get this started.

Well, it wasn't internal traffic, it was communication with a third-party service provider we integrate with, which seems to be maintained by bargain-basement outsourced workers. I'd be unsurprised if their mail server had deliverability problems. Hell, their API test environment has been broken for weeks at a time.

But fundamentally, "deliverability problems" feels like we lost something about the promise of email. I don't have to talk to my postman and tell him "BTW, I'm expecting a box from Mouser next week, make sure you don't yeet it straight into the dumpster."

I suspect filtering is a S-curve thing: you set up a handful of fairly simple rules and get up to 80 or 90% rejections, and then you can spend the rest of your life taming the rest.

But part of the point is to restore some transparency. If you know what filters you have, you can refine them in a better way to get the outcomes you want. Maybe that default block for "Canadian Pharmacy" isn't so useful if you're a medical student looking into job opportunities in Quebec. Being able to manually isolate, understand, and manage the rules is much better than doing rituals to appease the Almighty Algorithm.
1. But the crux the issue here (and with atomic weapons) is that as long not everyone has rejected it, then end result is not meaningfully different. And it's impossible to get everyone to reject it.

2. Again, I don't think that argument carries a lot of weight with people whose lives have already been completely upended by technology. The fact that some people now feel that This Time Is Different and thus we must all band together to hold the line betrays a deep lack of empathy.

Will Covid controls keep controlling us?
I agree with almost everything with the author, except that whole racist aspect. I've always been annoyed how basically all the scandiniavians of the viking era are labeled as nothing but savage pirates. As if they were good for nothing but stealing. There's something very demeaning about that, no matter how much they're romanticized for it these days.

Imagine if in the future all the 20th century Sicilians, or all Italians even, were labeled as mafia men simply because of their ethnicity. Then someone would write how problematic it is that a whole ethnic group is labeled as criminals, not because of how demeaning it is, but because The Godfather is a good movie and some Italian might feel proud for it.
Would it be so bad if "creators" showed up higher than content farm SEO'd corporate blog posts?
It's been about a decade since I did anything serious with SEO. I knew it was sleezy garbage then, but did it for the money. I would outright lie to non-profits to get links from their sites to my seemingly legit site. After a few weeks I'd 301 it to my main site. I really feel bad about this. I did a lot of other underhanded shit to rank highly and it all worked.

The biggest problem was feeling like a bad human and not wanting to tell my friends about how I made money on my side hustle. I am really glad I sold those sites and left SEO behind.

My side hustle now is writing FOSS.
99.9% of the time (long-term personal C++ project) I use printf-based logging to root-cause unexpected behavior. I use gdb only to root-cause segfaults (which are thankfully quite rare).

I use GCC exclusively, and its type-checking of param types vs format string largely prevents me from spending time in gdb; pre-GCC adoption, the biggest source of segfaults in my world was printf type mismatches.

Addendum:

I'm sure it violates every coding convention ever created, but, in almost all cases, once I add a debug printf to my source code, for example,

ED && DBG( "%s", foostr ); // ED is usually a function-scoped enum normally ==0

I leave it there forever. This allows all DBG's to be eternally subject to GCC printf param type build time checking going forward (preventing the debug print code from rotting (as it absolutely would if commented out), at minor maintenance cost (typically only when I switch to a new GCC release)) while not imposing any runtime cost (unless I flip ED to 1 and rebuild to enable function-specific detailed logging).

As far as this practice injecting large amounts of comprehension-thwarting noise into my source code: all such `ED && DBG(...);` code sequences are positioned in their own column far to the right of the non-DBG code (needless to say, I don't subject myself to 80-column coding-convention limits; more like 160-column). That this results in multiple statements per line (another typical taboo) is a don't care, since I'm never using a debugger to single-step thru code, and in any case, by convention my DBG() calls never modify program state.

It works great for me, but probably not for anyone else.
For what it’s worth I grew up with super markets and it still blows my mind. Has since I was a kid, how do I have strawberries in winter!?

It’s also what has enabled us to diversify. Easy to obtain any food, any time, without much meal prep.

I personally am still looking to grow, store and remain self-sufficiently. But it’s entirely a life style choice; built out of my fear for the further.

Ask yourself, can the next generation build supermarkets? I don’t know if they could. It’s an amazing work logistics. Further, it requires California and growing food in desert. It also requires an abundance of energy for transport AND international trade. All of which is under tremendous pressure.
I used to have a very negative outlook on electric cooking for Asian food, specifically where a wok is needed, because I've never seen one get hot enough to imbue the "wok hei" flavor that comes from high-temperature cooking. But then I saw there are bowl-shaped commercial induction wok cookers which should be able to more than match the heat of even the most powerful gas burners. With that, I think induction finally is a real alternative.
I've forgone real vanilla completely. It's expensive, inconsistent, and very bad for the environment.

The taste we associate with real vanilla is it's imperfections anyway. So I'll cut artificial vanilla with a splash of bitters and bourbon and have found it to be generally superior for most recipes.
Concerns over housing purchased for Seattle homeless
My friend just quit his job as a commercial airline captain to go study computer science. He started flying around the age of 16, about the time I started programming.

Airlines treat their employees like objects. The schedule is horrendous and their healthcare benefits are abysmal. The monotony of the job causes a lot of depression compounded with the fact that you’re away from family for often days or weeks at a time living in sub par hotels.

The pay is not very great either, yet execs rake in huge . Some pilots at FedEx and other carriers can make FAANG money, but it’s not the average.

An interesting perspective he also shared was you don’t grow. You kind of learn everything initially but it’s mentally boring. He’s loved CS. Seems like execs need to focus on quality of life and quality of work for these pilots.
I mean, a market exists for illicit drugs, underage sexual services and straight up slavery.

I think there is something to be said of the ethics of participating in some markets.

I'm still in the VM all the things camp. Like, containers are neat but VMs have the same cheapness for me - that is deploy some VM per app. Like Docker per app. Many times these days I'm one VM for just one Docker package. (Can you tell VM is my favorite isolation method)
That's your opinion. Obviously people are getting a lot of value from both of them and hence they remain popular.
Just to be clear, privileged containers with CAP_SYS_ADMIN do have additional privileges outside of normal 'containerized' workloads, just having it in a container does not mean that the security side affects are inconsequential.
