I’ve had the same experience. Walked up to an ATM for the second time in two days and my 4-digit PIN was simply gone from my memory. I never figured out what it was.

That was almost 30 years ago, and thankfully it hasn’t happened again.

How does one do that?

> Also your kids will not do shooters drills in school

This.

Also you will pay a bit more taxes but since you have kids, those taxes will be offset by the plethora of free or cheap services you will get for your children: kindergarten, school, and higher education.
I don't really get this trash argument even though I hear it over and over. I throw away a higher volume of stuff in one or two average days than all the wall warts and phone cables I've ever owned probably add up to. I've been on smart phones since Blackberry, and I don't think all of the chargers and cables I've used over the two decades combined add up to a single trash can full.

Interoperability sure.
> Governments, worldwide, have clear goals: to become more powerful, omniscient and perpetual in power

I think it's a mistake to treat governments (especially the elected government(s) like this letter targets) as a singular, rational entity. Instead they are a collection of individual (let's generously assume) rational actors whose career goals are often at odds with each other. These career goals depend on the support of the electorate, which is why petitions can work.

Yeh I kind of thought the same. I applaud them either way, the more companies adopt it, the more pressure is placed on the others to offer the same, but whereas 4 day work week is a huge bonus for me, wfh is a hard requirement.
Neat! Much good luck, I'm curious what you will end up doing. I launched pianojacq.com in very much the same spirit, and a lot of the design was influenced by those considerations. So far it has worked out very well.
Firefly and lightning bug are 100% interchangable here in Kentucky/Ohio, both referring to the same group of glowing beetles.

> I work as a senior eng at a large tech company and based on levels.fyi, it looks like my SF colleagues make somewhere between 2 and 4 times what I do. I know money isn't everything, but I've experienced the pain and stress that not having enough causes.

There's a bit of a tilt so far towards Germany in this thread. Let me offer a counterpoint: you can go for a high salary in CA until your kids start at school, and then move to Germany. I'm estimating that you can net somewhere between $100k - $250k per year more in CA (partially depending how frugal you decide to live and you actual options, but you should really do the math yourself). Accumulating over 5 years (around when your kids start with primary school), you that can net you a fully paid off house in Bavaria.
TLDR

Mixing platinum with gallium lets you get some of the desirable catalyst properties of platinum; with less platinum and as a liquid at lower temperatures; i.e much cheaper.
> Doesnt seem organic.

It really doesn't matter anymore at this point.

Well anything associated with being anti-crypto will get to the top of HN for sure, so it is really unsurprising. Any legitimate use of it doesn't fit the narrative enough to be worthy of attention.

Outrage, conspiracies, and schadenfreude of a particular narrative or entity drives in the clicks, Ad money and manipulation here and in the wider media in general. So there you go.

Anyway, I hope this person leaks the 100GB files to crash the crypto market, wipe out the scammers and criminals exposed in there to accelerate regulations.

We'll see what happens.
People who don’t want to get exposed can just continue to stay at home. Sure, they might not like it, but my children don’t like the house arrest either. The difference is that I’m not forcing anything on you, it is you who are forcing things on me.
That is odd because Japanese dealerships carry very little inventory and make to order.

You go to the dealer and test drive, sit down and go over packages and finance then a couple weeks later your car shows up and they either deliver it to your house or you go and pickup.
Yes, I got a similar feeling as to when I watched Fargo which lied about it being a true story
Are you sure about that? Thermo-electric solutions are practically maintenance free, ultra-reliable, and mature technology.

Even using a simple Stirling enginelike in NASA's Kilopower [0] project isn't super challenging expensive compared to battery solutions or power relays (e.g. from the lunar south pole or satellites).

I see no reason why nuclear power wouldn't be a viable and very competitive (or even essential) part of lunar exploration.

Not sure if your goal is just to discredit and discourage whistleblowers, but it’s simply not true the Panama Papers had zero influence on tax evasion. More than a billion dollars have already been recovered and remitted, good amount of indictments, lots of political backlash at various levels.

If you have the ability to bring justice to the world, you should do it, even if the results are unlikely to be as significant as they should be.
A bit OT, but at least for the Game Boy you can pop the cartridge (front of the case off) into a console (GBA is especially good as it only covers part of the cart), power it on and then replace the battery. The game save will remain. Or you can use something like the GB Operator and backup the game save, replace the battery and then rewrite it to the cart :)
Was the name 'deeply offensive' ever considered?
The Second Viennese School feels like the termination of the long tradition probably because they were the last generation who felt an direct connection to their immediate predecessors. Schoenberg, despite being mostly an auotdidact, thought of himself as the heir of Brahms and Wagner. He was pretty adamant on mastering the old forms using his new language and demonstrate his place in the tradition.

Stravinsky by contrast, and to a lesser extent the post war avant-garde such as Boulez and Stockhausen work in a completely different manner. To them the entire music history is "flattened", instead of a sequence of styles where the most recent is the most important, they plucked whatever they pleased from any period which pleased them. It's pretty difficult to follow any of these composers in that regard and now almost every composer has a personal eclectic style. It's a blessing and a curse, since I don't think any previous period had as much variety to encompass the likes of Ferneyhough and Reich and everything in between. On the other hand the loss of a "centre" is definitely a downside, at least when it comes to writing a history of the period :).
I don't know how people that suggest using a blockchain would design or already designed the whole system, but maybe you know. If the owner looses access to it's private key is there any way to transfer or expire the domain?
If not, you end up having domains that nobody can use.

Usb typec wire from 65A(non e-marked wire) to 240A(the latest standardized e-marked wire) uses literally the same plug.

Typec is the header but not the protocol. Even China phone vendor's proprietary high speed charging protocol use typec wire. And Intel's tb4 wire also use a type c wire. (the bandwidth of tb4 is definitely overkill for every phone ever made on the world for now)

Force use of typec header and baseline charging protocol prevent innovation is just bs consider this didn't even prevent apple from making a MFA e-marked typec cable.(Or they don't want this to pass because they actually want to do this again?)
When I was nomadic I traveled with my 1pass master password (and that only, no other context) on a laminated card in the zippered ‘hidden’ pouch of a travel belt meant to hide money. I figured I might get mugged by someone who knew to look there but that I could perhaps hope to convince them that the card was worthless and keep it even if they took my devices, cards, and cash.
While I sympathize I would say that if you're emailing from a new domain and have not done your SPF, DKIM and DMARC records correctly (or at all) it's understandable that your emails are getting blocked, and it's probably not just by Gmail.

You wouldn't buy from an ecommerce site that doesn't have SSL and HTTPS, in fact your browser may try to slow you down if you even attempt this. Likewise emailing people for business reasons now requires doing the bare minimum of work to inform the various email providers that your messages are legitimate, and at the scale that Gmail operates filtering messages based on crude but generally good rules seems like a good idea for the benefit of their users.

Setting up your email properly is a couple hours worth of work at most by the way, look up sites like MX Tool Box or search for the topic of "email deliverability" and you'll find tutorials tailored to nearly any email provider you may be using.

Good luck
Lots of jobs can be done remotely. We all know that. But putting together something new and dynamic? You need to meet people. In person. A lot. You need to build relationships. You need to have conversations where you explore ideas and test who the people are who may be vital partners, employees, funding, or whatever down the line. You want to inspire a team? You need to be there.

WFH in NYC gives me the best of all worlds. As an introverts introvert I can work from home during most days. But I have a critical mass of top people to have breakfast,lunch, coffee, drinks, a walk in the park, whatever at my immediate fingertips. I don’t need to schedule a trip and I can be home to see the kids in 5-30 minutes after wrapping up. In many ways it’s the best of all worlds.
I’ve always wondered about building a startup on another startup’s back. What happens if they cut you off? Is getting bought up by Slack the end goal here? Seems like a big risk, one whim at Slack and you’re toast.
Tabulating Machine
A lot of folks bought used cars at ridiculously high prices (over original MSRP when sold new in some cases). Banks approved them for those loans, and when the market corrects and used values come back in line (ie stop appreciating and depreciate again) those folks will be in severe negative equity positions.
Third time I came across this book in less than 10 days. I swear there's a name for this phenomenon..
Climate emissions are only mentioned in a brief side-note. Makes me wonder what their motivation is. Sounds like the writer was a crypto investor, got scammed out of their money, got mad that they could not reverse the payment, and are now against the entire tech stack.

Find a remote job position in the US which lets you work in Germany.

I have 3 small kids. I lived in the US for 5 years while working for FAANG. Once remote become a thing, I moved to Canada. Yes I took a paycut, but I still make more than what local companies pay in Canada. Moving back to Canada I was able to afford a house in a nice neighborhood with much better public schools than I had in the USA (95124 zip code).
I don't believe the Weather app in iOS 15 /fully/ uses Dark Sky; just for some things. But that appears to change in iOS 16 with /all/ the data coming from WeatherKit (aka Dark Sky).

Edit: Here's the support page that details this: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211777
Being densely-populated makes it easier to have a range of different plugs, since there will be a range of alternatives, and you'll be able to find the right one for you nearby.

Consider the opposite of a sparsely-populated region, where the next charging point may be 50 miles away. In that case, having a random hodge-podge of competing connectors could have actual consequences.

In practice though, there is not much of an effect either way. All parties have an interest in interoperability: car owners would have adapter to hand if this was a common problem, and charging stations would make themselves available to as many paying customers as possible.
It is absolutely possible if you live on an island in the Pacific Ocean such as Hawaii.
Plenty of the internet lawyers came out to rabidly defend the right of Github to pirate data to feed into Copilot, so I wouldn't be that worried about IP. I would be more worried about picking the wrong voices, such as those with strong political connotations.
Keeping these technologies in the hands of a few has its own set of severe negative consequences.

In the case of nuclear weapons, one of those consequences is that poor countries are denied the ability to defend themselves.

This led to the bullying and invasion of countries without nuclear weapons by countries with nuclear weapons (most recently Russia invading Ukraine, but China and the US are equally guilty).

I'm reminded of a line from the TV show The West Wing, something like: "India must and will be a nuclear power. That way, we'll never be dictated to again."

Tell HN: Read up on your GitHub Support SLA
A few weeks ago we experienced an outage for a few hours, we got 500's from both NPM and Nuget private GitHub feeds. This essentially halted progress in our CI pipeline, so trunk progress ceased for a few hours. Downtime happens. What's alarming is that as an enterprise customer ($250/user/year) we only got a response 11 days later containing, essentially, these things:

* "Check again." If the turnaround on a support ticket is truly 11 days, we would have been facing a 22 day outage (as we'd expect yet another 11 days after responding "it's still happening").

* "You have no SLA."

* "If you want support, I can direct you to our sales team."

If, god forbid, Git access (or everything) had been down, we would have been scrambling to continue business, we wouldn't have had a number to call, and we likely would have had to pony up the cash.

I strongly recommend you take a good look you fall here: https://github.com/premium-support. Note that "< 8 hours" under "Enterprise" mean absolutely nothing, as they aren't guaranteed (per your contract). A more honest value in the column would be "N/A."

You have to get hold of sales to learn about premium support pricing, it isn't publicly disclosed. This is likely to prevent you from budgeting for premium support only in the event that you need it.

If your business continuity depends on GitHub Enterprise, and you don't have Premium support, you need to pay, plan, or change.

Oh my goodness this word applies to a lot of mainstream programming language design.
Almost all of my digital life is in three places: 1) Google 2) Dropbox and 3) LastPass

I make it a point to pay for all of these, even though the free tier might have been good enough. I hope (maybe naively) that will help me get to a human if some disaster happens.
Wouldn't it be sufficient to just use a simple sun shade? There's no atmosphere that could transfer the heat so my naive assumption would be that a simple sun shade would do the trick.
Michael Winslow is one of the greats.
Sure, but most of the other replies here are concerned with whether you should want a job with a company like that.

The company's interview behavior sends signals about what it's like to work for the company. Will getting a promotion be so full of indecision? What about architectural changes?

And why are the people there afraid to make decisions? Is it an overbearing boss? Something in the water? I can only guess.
Hoorah! This will accelerate adoption of wireless charging. With each mfg doing its own thing.

Lather, rinse, repeat.
FireHydrant was my worst experience out of every incident manager I experimented with - literally nothing worked during our tests - and after two months of asking they're still refusing to remove our account; we still get a weekly email dashboard.
I love Telegram. Their desktop client is just a million times better than WhatsApp. Everything business I do with Telegram. Everything personal goes through WhatsApp.

Privacy, encryption, tracking etc. I don't care about. All the messengers suck in this perspective..
For phones, you’re right.

For cars, we have public metering devices that measure units of stuff and charge money. This makes it fall into the category of metering devices used in trade. And we do regulate those almost universally. You can’t just put a different shape nozzle on a gas pump, for instance.
I would be surprised if these people had full access to private Telegram chats and the most interesting thing they found was the crypto hype squads weren't always on the level. They didn't capture any other malfeasance from traditional businesses, governments, or just common criminals?
Different countries already have many different rules for autos. That's why it's difficult to be a world-wide auto manufacturer: you have to comply with so many different rules from different countries. That's just the cost of doing business and has been for decades.

If Apple believes USB-C is really that bad (which I don't think they do) - then they have the option of creating a handset only for sale in Europe or they can remove all charging ports and go wireless charging. I bet they go with USB-C charging and wireless charging.
They deprecated the 2006 WAY too soon. They blamed it on the 32bit EFI (same reason they didn't support gpu upgrades 2 years after release). It was pretty easy for a handful of major OSX releases to replace one or two files and boot it like normal. Everything worked fine. Was able to upgrade the gpu in a round about way as well. At one point I re-wired the sata bays to connect back to an areca raid controller. Then there was ssd and that kind of changed everything for "old computers."

I'd have it running linux today, possibly as my work machine, if it wasn't so loud and power hungry.

Only just the word "Premium" in the title confirms my (totally unfounded because I didn't read much about nor try it) scepticism towards Telegram.

I have an automatic aversion against the principle of two class services where the provider can over time tighten the screws and urge more people towards their premium offer.

I'd prefer a service that just has one package an everyone pays the same. It's more transparent and cannot as easily be misused in obscure ways to game more profit out of its customers.

That doesn't really change much though? It can still be taken from you for non-payment. What does it matter if some piece of paper says you "own" it if the courts will still allow someone to repossess it?

Yesterday I had a 1 hour meeting where 3 of the 7 participants needed to attend another meeting after 30 minutes. We reorganized the agenda to hit the issues that they were especially concerned about while they were available, and then did the other things in the next 20 minutes, finishing a little early.

It's not impossible, it just requires a culture of consideration, communication, and prioritization.
Ah, true. Comments like:

>California is a smoldering shell of corruption and handouts to buy votes from various demographics.

Definitely are just positive things about living in Germany and not airing of grievances by frustrated Americans.
People understand this usually. The problem is that when we try to put the same restrictions upon developers of all users there's going to be a lot of friction with the assumptions in design and UX that make it so great for grandma. Bifurcating iPad OS into a pro v consumer version is probably going to result in worse issues for both groups as well, so building something that can be unlocked once in power user mode seems like the better option longer term. There's speculation about _why_ it's been so hard to get this right and only Apple can definitively say what the reasons are.

All aside, it’s pretending ‘we’ as civilians have any kind of influence in what the EU does. In reality it’s just an opaque process ran by politicians where 99% of the electorate has no idea whatsoever how they got there or even what party they belong to.
Without building houses for them, this infection rate is unstoppable. I know here in Northern Canada it's not uncommon to have a dozen Natives in a small house.

Funny how there’s two levels of obsolescence here: I’ve used plenty of floppies, but none of them were actually floppy; I’ve had 8-inch floppies waved at me but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a powered-on 8-inch drive. (Yes, I’ve heard the nuclear launch story.)
