I've been to their shop in Tokyo. It's amazing. Sadly most of their pencil puzzles are not sold in regular bookshops, only sudoku is popular, but there are so many more interesting ones - Slitherlink, Nurikabe, Kakuro...
Yes I think we fear a slippery slope. We don't want to go there, we prefer the status quo. The article suggests short term solutions but do not delve into the long term consequences of those solutions.
“If an implementation could be written with the same level of complexity and in the same time, with a 20x more performance, then it's this implementation that should be chosen. I'm talking about implementation choice, not optimization.”

I sometime try this approach and write the better implementation in front of the dev if possible.
Not sure if this is related, but GitHub Actions accessing api.nuget.org (for C# packages) are intermittently failing during builds too, perhaps its Azure CDN.
I've successfully implemented ISO 27001 (CTO, Sole Founder, ~USD2mn ARR SaaS Business). Had a small team around me (5 people) but essentially implemented ISO 27001 myself spread out over 6 months.

Would be very difficult to write a complete guide - it's a long journey and accreditation requirements very specific to the business. Do you have specific questions or areas of concern in mind? Been thinking I could write a few blog posts about my experience.
In the UK you have the advantage of easy access to 3 phase electricity, most houses can simply pull 2 more wires from the mains and have it. Whereas in the likes of Ireland you need a special setup and massive extra cost to get 3 phase.

Having a 22kw charger at home is amazing especially for only £1300!
Wouldn't the solution to this be to decriminalize drugs?
Ubuntu releases are always alliterative Adjectival Animals (assigned alphabetically).
This is such a neat solution to a problem I am facing every day. Especially in an office environment it's simply not feasible to listen to voice messages. What ends up happening is that they simply get burried under all the "normal" messages and forgotten.
I've been wrong with every prediction I've ever made about crypto but I still think it has to be over valued. I struggle to understand how you could accurately estimate it's value. I do think it has tremendous value as a currency but not as a speculative investment.
"Simple answer: this is a logically contradictory question to ask. It's basically the same as saying: someone baked this piece of bread, then, who baked the baker?"

The baker evolved through mutation and natural selection. You envoke an answer outside the provable realm. By doing that you release all bounds. There is no limit to what you can place in that realm.

"The universe did not always exist, and provably so."

Then you are not agreeing with the best of our combined knowledge in knowing for a fact what happened at the very start of the Big Bang? I though we were uncertain up until 10^-38 seconds or so. Did the Big Bang occur in this universe or did it form the Universe? I don't know. Does anyone at this point? Is there any outcome that you would consider an argument against a god? I would not accept the prove of the universe not always existing as proof FOR a god anyway.

"The very fact that we're having this discussion is proof that God, The Creator, exists."

When I look at our DNA, and compare it to every other organism on earth, I see a tree of life, dependencies, common ancestors between species. No proof that a creator exists. I any case, simply stating that anything is proof a creator exist is a bit simplistic right?

"God has sent us many messengers, and provably so."

Could you point me to this proof? Is it a reproducible experiment? Can I do said experiment at home and come to appreciate your point of view?

Could you suggest any experiment that could help me accept that there is a god?
Unions are also limiting the freedom of the individual worker.
> happy preppy-optimist-i'm-on-camera vibe

perhaps because everyone is actually on camera all the time now, at least when they're in public-- and almost all the space at a university is public enough for that purpose.
Congratulations! Our own journey was fairly similar: Unsatisfied with existing tooling, created open-source project with blessing of employer (it helped that in <2 weeks we built a prototype that was already better than what $big_consultancy had spent months building), adopted by a few companies worldwide, eventually left employer and started an open-core business around it (albeit without VC money, and probably a much smaller market —pixel-based GUI testing for set-top-boxes—, and there's a hardware component to our product). Going strong since 2012 (open source project) / 2014 (business). I don't know that my advice will be relevant given the different market / VC approach, but feel free to reach out if you want to chat.
Hijacking, which is what was described, is a developmental failing. It is duly to note that the primary sense of intelligence is required in the correct process, for which the subject has to see the mechanism.
What is the other ship in that photo?
To me, the iOS Settings app just feels like a structure-less list where I have to use "search" to find anything anyway. (Perhaps my problem is that I have a strong desktop background and I don't use mobile phones much). To me, making the MacOS settings more like a phone would be a big step backwards.
This is really interesting. I saw this post on hckrnews and instantly had a flashback to that moment my account was banned from reddit.

I had actually created the SFWdeepfakes subreddit, because i thought those edits of Nicolas Cage on everything were absolutely hilarious.

Guess what? Suspended for "posting involuntary pornography". Tried to get my account back, but reddit was "experiencing higher than usual support volume" and never got back to me. Oh well.
Well, if I hadn't known, you would have a hard time convincing me that crime waves in the 20th century were caused by leaded gasoline too, but the evidence really is quite damning.

I think we can agree that the Roman Empire fell as a result of some bad decisions. (Exactly which bad decisions, we may argue about). If lead really messes with your brain in subtle, dangerous ways - and it does - then it is at least plausible that some of those bad decisions would not have been taken.

But where we do have a large variety of comparable countries which phased out lead in gasoline at different times, we don't have a large variety of 1st century Mediterranean empires which phased out lead at different times. So we really can't know with any certainty.

So maybe it's more useful to focus on the more immediate causes of the fall of the Roman empire. It does depend on what we hope to get out of that sort of discussion - if it's a do and don't for modern politics, I still think "don't underestimate environmental poisons" is pretty well-justified.
Aren't US homes running at 120 volts?

22kw at 230 volts would be ~95 amps.
22kw at 120 volts would be ~183 amps.
48kw at 120 volts would be 400 amps.
The implication is likely that the db does all the work, and the parts in ruby/python have barely anything to do.
Well, I looked at our current use of the cars. I live in a remote area and car is my only option. Also the area is mountainous and after doing some testing and having the car for a week, I have about 100km autonomy with 50kW/h battery when driving around, after that at around 10%, the car turns on low power mode and is very slow (I'd say dangerous) to drive.

On a typical day, my wife does about 40km, so everything is fine, but twice a week I have to go to the music school with my kids and it's 60km away (120km round trip), so I have to be sure to be on a full charge before leaving as I cannot charge the car there, and the time I have to charge the car before leaving is about 2h.

And this is for one car, I also have a car for my business. I didn't plan to switch to electric yet, but I know I'll have too, thus the 22kW charging station to have some margin to be able to charge them both.

Also, the utility have to upgrade the cables even for 11kW, and the price isn't very different.

The car I tested is a Toyota Proace.
The issue isn’t people being “good at computers”, but computers getting worse at people. Minimalist design clowns and lazy developers have taken over, and user interfaces have become far less intuitive than they were 10-20 years ago. Couple that with added complexity, and you have a recipe for disaster. Apple is the worst example because they used to be a company that took pride in its user interface design.
American universities are not at all like European universities. Think summer camp for young adults, with classes in the background. Campus life and sports are just as important as academics. European universities are much more bare-bones and focused on their core mission of education. That's mostly good, in my opinion, as university is way cheaper in Europe and students tend to be more focused on their studies, but it also means that as a student, you're much more on your own. At an American university, there are always dozens of administrators or counselors you can go talk to about any issue you have, from "How do I register for this class?" to issues in your personal life.
Some humans do this too, the psychology Scrabble word for it is confabulation. Are those people not conscious? We might call them an edge case or what have you, but dismissing them as automata seems harsh.

The point is that if a chatbot gets sophisticated enough to say these things we can't dismiss them out of hand due to things like logical inconsistencies. Humans have tons of those. It's not a large leap to assume approximating consciousness with so little would have similar bugs and shortcuts. I think if the chatbot is asking you to be nice you should re-evaluate why you're being a dick to a piece of software and not trying to prove that it ultimately doesn't matter because the thing isn't a person. Same goes for kicking the Boston Dynamics robot. Your drywall isn't even sonething people anthropomorphize, but punch holes in it and you'll see how their perception of you changes.

How we treat objects bleeds into how we treat one another. Indeed, some of us were and are still considered property.
It seems that we need a government to provide deposit guarantee and a central bank that acts as a lender of last resort.

Welcome to the 19th century.
The standards are not incoherent. However by design they need to be abstract to apply across very diverse businesses.

I've implemented ISO 27001 myself (solo dev founder, 6 person company, USD2mn SaaS). The divergence in quality of the implementation depends on whether the company is actually using IS027001/SOC2 as a tool to formally define, implement and monitor information security or finding the path of least resistance to accreditation.
No, I do not thrive on a meatless diet. I do not want to go into the particulars of my digestion and body, but it certainly isn't the diet for me.

In general my opinion is meatless diets are possible, but not as healthy as omnivore ones. Thus the complexity of the matter, whose answer is not that simple. That said, I honestly do not think this is the place for such a debate.
I'm sure the article is interesting, but this 12ft.io paywall remover thing caught my eye. Is it what's responsible for all the missing photos?
I see it as a benefit. No bailouts means a proper cleansing of bad parties. It empowers good projects, vs rewarding bad behavior.
Slack has that feature.
If you get a voice message you can either play it or display the transcript. Although I don't think it does it offline.

This is no longer accurate. Many things have moved to privileged XPC calls, which are handled by daemons that cannot be easily controlled.
> the problem has disappeared.

No, it did not.

You have empirically found a wonderful way to teach your students that their errors are their responsibility, and you are wilfully giving it up and sort of spoiling them.

Extrapolating a bit, you are helping them join the idiots who complain about undefined behaviour while proudly showing their horribly wrong code.
This is basically all markets when the government prints 80% of all US dollars in existence. Everyone gambles with money they got from thin air. The air wants it back now.
When you give a bum $20, is anyone gonna say you're a bad person for not giving him $100? No.

But when you exploit people's dire situations for profit or to push your agenda and give them slightly better than death in return, you're not only providing a net benefit to the problem, you're also displacing and delaying any real solutions because the problem is now masked just enough that it can continue to be ignored. You're also most likely gaining a competitive advantage over others who are trying to accomplish the same goal (profit) as you using ethical means.

I find it perfectly reasonable to condemn this type of behavior.
No, US homes are typically 240V split-phase: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power
I find 15:04:05 on Monday Jan 2nd 2006 a lot easier to remember than all those strftime %-verbs. I certainly don't see how "%B %e, %Y" is any better than "January _2, 2006". %B for what? Bonth name? And %e for "d for day plus one so %e".
Real markets, or the companies within, make something that people need. They have equipment, customers, etc. Maybe they are important enough that the state has to bail them out. Maybe they get restructured or merged.

Anyways, there is some kind of floor to which they can fall, and which will catch them.

What kind of "floor" is there for crypto? By definition it is not tied to anything non digital? Right?
You need scale. Swap stations need to exist every 20 miles on major roads (like combustible fuels) and for that you need customers.

How many EVs were there in 2007-2013?

Today's problems are charge speed, range and cost. Swappable batteries would solve all three, without needing lN2-cooled charging cables, needing to dissipate 7.2KW of deep internal heat, at standstill, no less.

Whatever the physical realities or economics, we should be mandating a common power input framework so that this is possible for today's cars tomorrow.
Comparing today to the early 1980s makes today's situation look even weirder.

Today:

- short-term savings account rate is ~1%

- long-term mortgage rate is ~6%

- the ratio is 1:6

Early 1980s:

- short-term savings account rate was ~8%

- mortgage rate was ~16%

- the ratio was 1:2

What was different in the early '80s when mortgage rates were sky high, but savings account rates seemed to keep pace?
Gold has some intrinsic value, you can turn it into fancy jewelry, teeth replacement or cutlery :)
Sooo... why exactly is Amazon the best? Luck? You may want to short their stock then, because a 20 year lucky streak is incredibly unlikely, and odds are overwhelmingly for it ending tomorrow.

All companies have employees, and the law of large numbers tells us that it's unlikely they're a whole lot better at Amazon (at least not by chance). Larger the samples, large the similarity between samples.

Investors literally make a job from finding the best companies and giving them money, so they're not exactly a cause. They're hound dogs, looking for the best bet.

What's left? 1-2 early CEOs that set the course? Well, that was Bezos as well. And the owner is the one picking the CEO and approving what he does. An anyways, in large corporations the leadership is a bit more complex, with various mixtures of shareholders, board, chairman, CEO and so on. It's enough to say Bezos was "it".
They were assuring customers of their stability, let’s see, six days ago: https://blog.celsius.network/damn-the-torpedoes-full-speed-a...

Surely there are going to be criminal charges forthcoming. Doing everything they can to prevent people withdrawing up to and including blatantly lying.

If history is any guide this isn’t close to over yet.
The negativity is totally warranted:
OPs misguided believe in thinking that simply finding a new job will get rid of all his woes is worrisome.
Furthermore the fact that a high percentage of commentators are encouraging his stance is counterproductive.

This is simplifying a complex situation, which OP should definitely seek professional guidance for before he finds himself in the same situation 5 months from now...
But how will the design and engineering clowns present “impact” if not by needlessly redesigning what needs no redesign? Notice how things get rewritten every few years now, whereas in the past, software was maintained for years and years? Kids these days just don’t want to maintain stuff, and their corporate benefit structures encourage rewriting stuff instead of maintenance.
To qualify for greater fool something must a) overvalued vs its utility and b) purchased on the sole assumption that it can later be resold at a higher value.

This leaves you with a surprisingly small amount of assets. Collectibles probably.

I think the epitome of greater fool is probably NFTs. Unlike a real piece of art you don't actually own anything unless additional value is conferred to you by owning it from the issuing entity, like say legal copyright over the referenced piece in question (if its art).
> I wonder why not just a TXT record?

Something similar to robots.txt? Yeah, I'm not sure why MS didn't allow that one. Actual DNS TXT records? Oh boy, you haven't experience enterprise-level DNS filtering (or let's be honest stupidity).
I don't think anyone does expect the debt to be paid back. However it is expected and required, that at the very least, interest payments on the debt are paid so there isn't a default, which would kill the bond market and end government deficit spending.

Interests rates do not need to increase very much at all at this point, so that 100% of tax revenues would be needed just to cover the interest owed by governments. At this point (actually before) the currency is effectively dead and hyperinflation is inevitable, unless:

1) there is a draconian cut to government spending to match tax revenue, or
2) the current system is abandoned to one that is backed by hard assets (which would include a severe cut in spending but could also include a taper)

1. is politically infeasible, so we will default to 2. after a significant amount of economic pain. The US Dollar and most western fiat currencies are dead and are already long in the tooth by historic standards.
Ask HN: Does your organisation have a Security Champions program? Was it useful?
I am considering if my organization really need security champions programme. Would like to hear the opinions from developers....
no, 22kW is 32A as we use three 240V (to neutral, so around 400V between phases) phases here. Most home here have 40A capacity (mine does).

You have to pay for the introduction box, which need to be changed in my case and is about 7000$ [1] and you have to may for each extra A capacity, which is 150$ per A. So 32*150 is 4800 + 7000. And that's only to change the capacity of what we call the "introduction". Then I have to change the cabling inside the house up to the breaker room and install a charging station. The whole thing is about 20k

For ISO 27001:

- Two-factor authentication (2FA) - Not stipulated
- Access control for any accounts that store sensitive information - Access control policy is required
- End-to-end encryption - Not stipulated
- Training staff in data protection awareness, and a data privacy policy - Training policy is required

For the controls not stipulated in the standard (e.g. 2FA, E2E encryption), you may find you ultimately need them once you do an information risk assessment. As long as you explain clearly why the risk is not significant enough to require it or have good alternate controls, you won't get dinged by the auditor for not having these.
Tangent: I find the choice of keywords val vs. var in Kotlin a bit unfortunate. The way we read text (or rather skim) is a lot of the times by the shapes of entire words. Val and var are a bit too similar in this regard and I think let vs. var in other languages is much nicer.
EVs should overperform in comparison with ICE at high altitudes and in hilly regions, due to less efficient burning and the ability to regen.

Remote areas with unpredictable usage is probably their weak spot, but a hybrid should still be a solid option for the same reasons EVs work well in the mountains.

What about post-vaccination or post-lockdowns conditions?
I appreciate the sentiment, as you're right about one of too many of these are easy traps to fall into. I would also say that life isn't so binary, it's not one or the other, it's a huge mix of everything. Also I am not sure doing without thinking exists, the "doer" in your case has to think about what he is doing otherwise he wouldn't be able to do anything no?
"Historical upside potential".

If it crashes 90% and then goes back to 30% of its peak a couple years later, pundits will declare bitcoin collapsed, but the people that bought around the bottom will make out like bandits.

I dont see many failure modes for crypto itself. The exchanges and all the speculative bullshit built around it are a big problem, but the network itself will survive and there is a price where people will start betting on upside again.

I say this as someone that bought my first bitcoin at $5 and sold my last one for $4500. I left a lot on the table.
PubMed link please.
Does this happen to everyone? Because i don't see this effect for the skyline, cloud and monochrome diagram picture in the article (despite the captions), only a tiny bit in the Ebbinghaus diagram.
that's the future, deliver more and more open ai models as if they were just software libraries and go back to native offline capable apps.
Aren't US homes running at 120 volts?

Yes . . . and no. In North America, homes are actually supplied with 240V. A split-phase system with a centre-tap transformer is then used to create two 120V "phases." So, your typical outlets will be on one of two 120V phases. However, there are usually a couple of 240V outlets as well for things like electric stoves, and clothes dryers. So, in short, single phase 240V is available in essentially every U.S. household.

The cars, themselves, usually require 3-phase 240V to do 22kW. You are highly unlikely to have access to that in a U.S. home.
Consistent is not everything! Same looking, forced the same concept into everything, whatever the context is and if it justifies better approach in that local situation or not, and especially ''fixing'' already released 'inconsistent' state, already learned (sometimes forced)? No, thank you!!

They did not have to change to the new look that caused inconsistency the first place. This is a toxic kind of practice to reorganise everything again and again, obstucting users. I had to waste sooo much time already in various system 'optimizations' and 'consistency redesigns' forced on me that it costs a lot!

On this level the consistency is a barrier, not helping, corrupting a working situation. It is not a magic wand solving everyhting, it could ruin things! Just think about consistent touch screen approaches, putting touch screen everywhere in the highly practical world of vechicles, causing problems, accidents. Consistency is not paramount. Practicality is.
Yes, rates of purchase are quite high. Incentive schemes in the UK that make leasing very appealing mean people are getting electric company cars, this should then bleed into the second hand car market.
I have a Renault Zoe and I charge mostly outside on 22kW charger. The Zoe 2021 has a 42kW/h battery and it take ~2h to fully charge. I don't understand how you get to the 7h figure ?
0.6kWh / 5min * 60min/1h is still 7.2kW. It only needs to handle those 7.2kW of heat loss for five minutes, not continuously, but the power doesn't change.
