> Europe having tight relations with Russia, economically especially energy-wise, is greatly beneficial to Europe

You're once again excluding any calculations of Russia using the money to run around overthrowing democracies. "It's greatly beneficial if you ignore all the mass murder."

The whole reason why they're now cancelling NS2 is because of this. Germany likes cheap energy, sure, but they're less than enthused about the money paying for that cheap energy going into executing and raping civilians in Ukraine.

PD2X.com | Javascript/React Developer, Junior/Mid-level | Full-time | 100% Remote UK-based

Looking for a junior or mid-level React developer based in the UK to work as part of a fully remote team on a suite of health-related applications in the field of personalised diagnostics. Mostly very new or upcoming greenfield projects. We are a small start-up with a growing team and influential backers.

Our front-end apps are built with Next.js and run on Vercel. We are early-stage so loads of scope for making a major impact on the products we're building. You'd have some oversight from a senior developer but otherwise would be expected (and encouraged) to be very autonomous. Super relaxed and flexible working culture.

If you're interested or have questions you can email me directly: tom.southall@pd2x.com.
Yes and, riffing on your clarification, maybe also make a distinction between hypothesis and prediction. Both are based on models, but a hypothesis hasn't been experimentally validated yet.
It's a comically naive view on the dropped atomic bombs that this was in any way based on 'costs and consequences of the alternative'. The opposite is true, as is well documented in countless books and statements by the people involved at the time:

The key reasons they were dropped was (1) the cost of developing the atomic bomb at 2 billion dollars, and (2) to demonstrate this capability to the future enemies, the Russians.

But you're not alone in your assessment. Notably, recently dozens of cops watched kids being massacred for an hour, because the alternative would have been that officers could have been hurt, which is clearly unacceptable https://twitter.com/VAKruta/status/1529977770931113987?ref_s...

Let's not kid ourselves: had any party on the losing side of the war pulled that off, the people involved would have been hung as war criminals.
Are there some aria examples?

on edit: I ask because wondering about the syntax, and if it does actually handle it. Often aria support is part not done.

Also inline svg?
That fab won't make any sense without Intel's suppy chain.
Or even "trace platinum dissolved in liquid gallium". The solubility at "room temp" (40 ˚C is quite hot for a room) is only about ~50 ppm. It's kind of like calling sea water "room-temperature liquid sodium chloride".
So your point is that the DA can't make a big difference in the chances of punishment?
> It had utility to the US government in demonstrating to the Russians our ability to accurately move payloads on the planetary scale. Actually landing on the moon was just a conveniently goal-aligned PR win. Beyond that though, being able to put things at that scale in orbit has shown major dividends at in every sector.

You don't need to put men on the surface of the moon to gain any of these benefits. The US government could've spent far less to achieve those same outcomes.

And that's ignoring the fact that, particularly regarding those "major dividends", much of those justifications can only be made in hindsight. At the time I think it would've been difficult to justify the moonshot on that kind of utilitarian basis.
We create a teams chat that is separate from the meeting and document what we agree on in that chat, that way it is documented for everyone who forgets the details by tomorrow morning.
Could this make fuel cells common place? Is platinum the main cost driver?
The money could be spent on telescopes looking at non-human sources of particles (hard to do for particles of short lifetimes, but then again you have whole galaxies to work with). This is how much of QM and cosmology in general have been investigated.

California cities very recently didn't have the public-order problems that California cities do. It's a pretty recent phenomenon, and it's hard not to attribute it to the novel ideas of legalizing theft and "reforming" criminals by just letting them go.
I’m very excited by the idea of seamlessly providing a front-end for interactive scripts. (I have a similar idea that I’ve wanted to build for a while.)

Is that an accurate description of what you’re trying to build? Calling Interval a “CLI in the browser” made me think you had a command line in the browser, something like xterm.JS.

I don’t have anything else to say, I think the idea speaks for itself.
Twitter and Youtube are a censorship minefield as it comes to war footage. Russian trolls have been known to mass-report pro-Ukrainian accounts for posting "NSFL" material (and much of the interesting material from the front is NSFL). If you are famous and know the right people in the West, you can get unbanned through your connections, but this is a lot harder for the local sources.
That's a silly and naive take. This investment will tremendously boost the semiconductor ecosystem in Germany. In the long run, this will do wonders when German companies want to or have to expand their capabilities, find more employees, design, package or assemble chips, buy wafers, equipment, supply chain, you name it.

It's about building an ecosystem, much like SV. People on HN of all places should know this.
Application process seems pretty nice. The questions posed for the data science positions suggest a very strong graph-theoretic team is in place. They are looking for top-notch mathematicians, not boot-camp data scientists at all.

Do be aware that in the borg collective FAQs they mention NFTs in an apparently positive note, if that is of any relevance to you.
Those printed things are probably still cheaper than the transfer fees are in bitcoin, or did they did those?
It's not very well stupid though if there isn't a great viable alternative, is it?

The issue with there being no good local competitors is a more fundamental one-- it's extremely difficult to spin up a viable tech business in the EU, period. In part, this boils down to regulatory issues including tech companies needing to abide by a myriad of complex regulations but also things like fairly costly labor regulations.
In the case of the former, caning is a widely used form of corporal punishment. That is extremely conservative and not something we should re-create in the US.
It depends on communication habits too, I suppose.

I only open Messages whenever somebody wrote me (which would automatically un-archive the thread).

Telegram supports archiving, and I use it all the time there.
I'm not saying that the regulatory power in this case is derived solely from the weights and measures clause, I'm countering golemotron's suggestion that it's a wholly unrelated topic. It's a topic so closely relevant to weights and measures that the regulatory division that currently regulates them bears that title.
I love things like this. There are so many parts of the world that feel hidden from the mainstream view (I grew up in one such country). We go throughout our days ignorant to the many millions who live within these nations and cultures. videos and photos make me feel like I can glimpse into these places, even if its through the eyes of the photographer.
I think GP's point is that you almost never win when you go against regulators head-on. Ultimately, they're the ones who have the guns (i.e control imports, exports, and enforcement). Now that it got to this point, Apple will yield if it wants to continue profiting off those markets.

I do agree that legislating technology this way is a big mistake on EU's part. This is basically South Korea's ActiveX law all over again, and like South Korea, the EU will eventually be left behind.
Well, as far as I can tell, China is seems willing to sell just about anything to anyone as long as they can pay.
I think you need a better explanation of the multisig procedure and how you are not a central authority, capable of spending the bitcoin, etc. I've seen multiple comments here confused by this.
The world doesn't revolve around "America vs Russia". There are lots of other things going on.

And if you are looking for a mass murderer, is there a bigger mass murderer than USA after 20 years of mass murder in the Middle East?
This is the same logic that because some vaccinated people get Covid, vaccines are stupid and don't work.
What a boilerplate PR response. Today it's Github, but tomorrow it'll be the same story, different managed service. OP's problem isn't even specific to Github, the entire "aaS" industry seems rife with over-promise, under-deliver.

Yeah, you want to "take this offline" and handle OP's case individually, and perhaps OP gets their demands met, some sort of service credit, or something.

But what the rest of us want is real systemic change, to where managed services like this actually give us real value, and not "marginal value, but nothing works like it ought to and you're going to spend a lot of time working around the bugs and gluing the parts together", where every bug report (which has to be filed as a support ticket) is met with "you're holding it wrong", or where the service goes down and the status page gaslights us, or …

Buying managed services instead of letting engineers do their jobs is today's "nobody got fired for buying IBM".
Ooooooh. I thought "dark" was some weird domain-specific nomenclature to describe "not available on the open market", with the open market being like a transport network of (lit up) lines, and dark = not lit up = not on the open market.

Now I actually understand the definition I'd say "unlit fiber" feels like a better-resolved way of putting it, although I could see the uninitiated imagining that describing a service that needed an additional subscription on top or something, which isn't quite the right nuance.
An API first "Pet store"? ;)

It is pretty much industry standard within the C# and Java community to provide Open API docs. It also displays the flaws of the API designs at an early stage. Stops one from going live with something embarrassingly bad as the Hashicorp API:s for instance.
Thank you for the feedback, a calculator is a good suggestion! We realize there are a fair number of people that will be turned away by this, we'll see what we can do for a better middle ground.
If you listen to the recall pushers it doesn’t sound like much of a straw man to me and the idea that the DA isn’t doing enough to prosecute isn’t a new concept here but if you actually look into the details of what Chesa is trying to do there is more method to it than just a blanket non-prosecutional ideology. It doesn’t mean that people don’t face any consequences at all if they fail to meet the standards laid out for them but they are given a chance. But this idea that a progressive ideology isn’t what is needed now because we’re in some nationwide uptick in certain crimes strikes me as odd because if not now then when? And to your point, a recall isn’t an election - the appointee doesn’t have to say anything about what they’re going to do and as it stands now they get to run as an incumbent in the next election which gives them a big advantage. So people are just presuming that whoever is appointed will be the “tough on crime” DA that they presumably want without actually knowing who they’re going to get.
I think in many ways, the continued evolution of technology will turn back the clock on progress in other areas of our lives.

In ages past, impersonating another person was not nearly as difficult as it is today. Advances in identity verification and such have eliminated a certain class of problems. The emergence of deepfakes doesn’t necessarily introduce “new” problems, it just resets the progress on some very old ones.

Assuming this is solved not by banning the tech but by making progress elsewhere, some pretty worrisome implications come with that. One antidote to deepfakes would be even more progress on identity verification and tracking the source of digital media for purposes of authentication / validity.

It’s not hard to imagine the negatives in such improvements at a time where we’re already tracked far too much.

I think a more ideal development would be a return to pre-tech habits. Meeting people in person. Less reliance on virtual communication, etc. But one need only look at the backlash against returning to the office to see that such a move would require something truly existential.

I suspect you are right in the long run, but I’m curious what other factors or forces might nullify the threat introduced by this tech in the short term, or if things really have to run off the rails before people decide that fundamental changes in how we interface with tech are required.

Good luck with this one, USB-C is a protean system with as much variation as a giant jar of jelly beans, from compatible but non-compliant interfaces (see my previous rant on Nintendo Switch) to multiple standards that render things undependable. My Nitecore batteries refuse to charge from an Apple charger but are happy with a Raspberry Pi charger.
That’s a brilliant description. And might not always be a bad thing.
These bills look really cool, and if the tech is actually decentralized and secure, I could see myself using them.

Can you share with us some of the technical details, though?

First, exactly what is the mechanism by which the user key is rotated? Does that require a transaction to be added to the blockchain whenever the note is transferred from one owner to another? Does the new key need to be kept on a paper wallet or separate device?

Also, when your website says that the decryption key is released when the note is cut—exactly how does that work? Does it require an interaction with your servers? And what is the mechanic by which expiration is enforced?

And finally, your say that there is no requirement to trust your company. But you somehow have access to the encryption key yourselves. As far as anyone knows, you also kept a record of the encrypted multisig key before you distributed each note.

Why should anyone trust that you are not keeping copies of all the information needed to access the bitcoin stored on the note? Can you step through how exactly you are blocked from accessing the bitcoin yourselves?
I like how everyone here is doing precise statistics on something so imprecise as geopolitics.
> Would one be able to tell a difference at a much higher dosage?

I never dared risk much higher dosages, so I wouldn't know.

> What about when compared to an equivalent dosage of another CNS like methylphenidate or cocaine?

In my experience, one can definitely tell the difference between (meth)amphetamine and methylphenidate / cocaine, at any dose. They are by no means that different, though, and I wouldn't be surprised if a person with no previous exposure to either would struggle to do so. Other CNS stimulants, like nicotine and caffeine, are more obviously different.

This is all purely anecdotal, though I have skimmed studies which also claimed as much, so those might be worth looking into.
Right that would be Urs Hölzle. He's a senior executive who moved to New Zealand to work remotely but opposed remote work for junior employees.

Alright, I'm glad you found a solution. This is something that US residents can have but the problem starts to hurt when you're in ID-required parts of Europe and plan to order many more SIM cards. Anyways, if you require specific features, let me know: yigit@dialme.shop
Interesting read. There was one stat that seemed insane even with the legendary attrition of the tech industry. 1/3 of employees will be going to the office for the first time?? (article says 50K out of 165K new hires during the pandemic). That is an astounding stat. Did Google bloat when rates were low or did they have higher than normal attrition?
I recently watched the movie 9 To 5 where Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton rebel against their boss at work, and ultimately fix the workplace by allowing people to job-share, where sets of two people each work half a day, and by opening a day care center on their floor. This movie came out in 1980.
You might ask yourself - if Europeans are willing to do the work that Americans are doing, but for half (sometimes even a third, or quarter!) the price - Are European workers underpriced, or American workers overpriced?
Why did you or your team copy & paste the FyreHydrant docs?
Yep, I've seen this as well with a friend. This is one huge reason why SMS is not a bad option. (convenience vs security)
The Twitter posts are about how a couple got married at Disney and annoyed the family. I don't personally see it as anyone's business where they decide on getting married. I think most people believe that as well.

That being said, do we want to think of corporations as being a special part of our lives? It's our responsibility to provide meaning for ourselves. It's a company's responsibility to deliver maximum value to their shareholders. To tell stories that extract the most money from your pocket in merchandising and other revenue sources. Why romanticize it?
I've had to replace my USB C cables a bajillion times but never once had to replace my iphone cable.

I think it's because iPhone cable has the male adaptor with the female on the device, which is a lot simpler and less prone to debris, which is what you want with a cable that gets tossed around.

The USB C cables has the female adaptor on the cable which accumulates debris and moisture. USB C also oddly has the male adaptor inside of an indentation, so with USB C you basically have two female adaptors that can collect debris.

The homeless population is a regional phenomenon, SF isn't an isolated island:

http://www.bayareaeconomy.org/report/bay-area-homelessness-2...

> "The Bay Area’s homeless population today is larger, less sheltered, and growing faster than ever before. Between 2017 and 2020, the Bay Area’s homeless population grew by 6,878 individuals to a total of 35,118—accounting for more than a quarter of the growth in the total U.S. homeless population."

Some of the Covid emergency programs sort of worked by putting people in hotels, but those hotels are pretty sketchy places at best. This might account for the apparently flat rate in SF but anyone walking around the poorer neighborhoods can see it with their own eyes:

https://www.kqed.org/news/11914346/more-people-became-unhous...

That's only part of the picture: the growing gap between wealthy and poor is a more significant long-term issue.
> It's nice that most of Janes the literals match Clojure

Two things:

* Janet doesn't have a built-in set data structure literal. Need to use a library for that.

* Janet has mutable and immutable versions of arrays and hashmaps (the literals for the mutable variety are prefixed with `@`)
Could you explain how enabling current crime wave is "pandering to corporate interests"? Corporations didn't demand to defund the police or stop prosecuting crime or develop a homeless camp on every major street, as far as I know. Did they?
Ayup. I love Figma, but this is the problem with relying on SaaS products for everything. My whole team is sitting around. Plenty to do, but no way to do it.

For a company as large as github (and microsoft), I would expect support metrics (mean time to response, max time to response) to be known to management.
I was really happy with my Kong cash (earlier project by same creators) and handed it out as gifts. It really does look and feel like money from the future. The wallets associated with my bills becomes unlocked october of this year, but I don't suppose the ERC20 Kong token is worth much atm.

I thinking locking up mBTC makes a lot more sense - any reason you went with creating your own token the first time around ? Has BTC caught up with ETH in some matters of programmability ?

As somebody who's cursorily interested in what people would call "Foundation of Mathematics", I don't even think the "ultimate" part is justified.

Why is 1 + 1 = 2? This isn't really a mathematics problem (I know about axiomatic systems, they were invented relatively late in the timeline of mathematical history, invented as a fiction to avoid getting to the bottom of the messier things, i.e. the social context of how mathematics was actually invented and is used). Sidenote: I have written an article (not in English) about how numbers were a linear to log(N) time complexity reduction trick for recording information, and that 1+1=2 presumes a reductionist and somewhat capitalist view of the world...

Anyway, to me, mathematics is a subject that invents abstract concepts and rewards those who are capable of understanding and believing in them. That kind of thinking is probably useful in a lot of areas that have business value. The make-believe part is, I would humbly suggest, quite an important feature too. It really fits nicely into our capitalist framework playing the money game where they'd want you to believe $1+$1=$2 is an axiom, and it's best not to reach out beyond the closed, axiomatic system and ask where those $ comes from or the messy social implications of the "math".
Coincidentally I asked for some friends emails over the weekend to put together a viewing party for a show release next month. it was received well.

> I think standardization does not harm innovation.

Standardization isn't the problem. Enforced standardization is the problem. Standardization is beneficial when done by the industry because it's a collaborative process where everyone works together to create standards that are mutually beneficial. When the government comes in and enforces an already created industry standard it becomes impossible to change or improve it. This has happened in many industries where things are now done "just because" as the law enforced a now very outdated standard.

And no, the government doesn't create standards, they all come from industry originally.
