When I registered for Lufthansa FF, the form was just numbers. My birthdate has two single-digit numbers in it, and I ended up with Month-Date backwards (US vs. rest of the world conventions - e.g., 4/8 is either April 8, or Aug 4).

It wasn't an issue, but a minor annoyance to fix it every time I traveled, so that it matched my travel documents.

Until a couple of years ago, when I was traveling back from Germany and the flight crew thought it would be nice to surprise me with a bottle of champagne at midnight on my "birthday".

They were so proud of doing this over the top "random kindness" (it was pretty thoughtful), and couldn't figure out why I was confused and annoyed. I still feel bad for not acting more excited or grateful...

I'd be more than happy to join a cult and do their bidding if they got me a good job at Google with good long term prospects, it sounds like a fair deal to me. Mr Lloyd would have been much better off working out a deal with the cult rather than suing his employer, perhaps he could have nominally joined them and tithed 10% in exchange for their nepotism; it's certainly what I would have done.
This looks fantastic, and Electron needs some competition.

That said, here's my set of hesitations as an Electron app developer (Beekeeper Studio - beekeeperstudio.io).

1. With Electron it's nice to be able to lock the browser implementation across OSs. I'd have some pause about having to support arbitrary Webview implementations. It makes testing so much harder.

2. It's really really nice to be able to code-share between UI code and app backend code. In Electron everything is JS, so you can use the same codebase for both components. With Tauri it requires two languages and two sets of packages.

- One example of this is an ORM for a SQLite database. I need to load some settings before the UI renders, in Electron this is the same ORM code.

3. The only Linux build is a DEB.

4. Smaller community - desktop apps are a total PITA to debug, it helps that Electron builds have been tested at length by companies like Microsoft.
Yeah but they forgot to break it down. For other cities they lump in one-time-per-building costs into what is required to open a business, making the report misleading and dishonest at best. It'd be like including the cost of installing a fire door 100 years ago in the budget for every business that ever rents the building.

> In Minneapolis, for example, many brick-and-mortar business owners must pay a fee associated with the impact their business will have on the sewer system; in the case of a restaurant, this fee reaches $8,275—bringing the total cost of legal permission to start a restaurant in Minneapolis to $13,973.

I've yet to see a libertarian or libertarian-inspired article that did not heavily rely on dishonesty and this IJ report is no different.

This is what I thought at first until I dove in more. AFAIK, Tauri makes it possible to write your ENTIRE app in Rust _EXCEPT_ the view. This means you can take events and send them directly to Rust for processing and vice versa. While porting an existing web app might not use any Rust, someone using this to specifically create a Rust GUI app can use the HTML/CSS/JS portion as just a view for their Rust app for the most part.

I'm not sure that is accurate for Gravaton3, which appears to be besting intel/amd in a number of cases. So, it doesn't appear there is a clear leader between the amd, intel and gravaton instances. Meaning everyone should be benchmarking their application and picking one.

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=graviton...

Amazon here seems to be leading the Arm technology pack, as they are using a newer generation of CPU, while arm instances on other providers tend to be providing gravaton2 (Neoverse-N1) based instances. I would imagine that gradually changing in the near future as those vendors also upgrade.
Not sure what illegal imagery has to do with drugs? AFAIK pictures of drugs is not illegal, the only pictures that I'm aware of that might be considered illegal would contain child abuse stuff, personal info, classified info?

I understand that selling drugs is illegal, but in that case the selling of drugs is what is illegal and not an image

You should have felt free to say that it is utter stupidity for people to assume good faith for public companies. But sadly, the times we live does not allow pointing out stupidity in a harsh manner. Don't go easy on stupidity people. You will end up in a nice stupid world without joy or happiness.

> always assume bad faith when you're dealing with a company.

I think this is the biggest problem that humanity is facing right now, and a lot of currently accepted "mainstream" end of world problems derive from it.

And the issue is that these entities are locked in a process where not-the-fastest-growing means on the path to death. And to side step this, they have to do bad things without getting caught. The dominant player will be the one who does the baddest things without getting caught.

For example, In the world of pharmaceuticals, the dominant player would never be the one who play by the rules set by the authorities. But the one who has got authorities on the payroll.

If you are starting about "evidence that authorities are on a payroll", take a look at the above point regarding "not getting caught"...

Sadly, this does remove the higher bounds to what a company would do to secure its bottom line. Which is why I think this is the biggest danger that humanity faces right now. And this is going to get worse, because what ever higher bound we have right now, is going to be pushed higher and higher, in a world full of perpetually distracted people...

> Many kinds of Buddhism known to the west are actually repackaged European philosophy

Schopenhauer was interested in eastern philosophy. There is certainly a thread of Buddhist thought in some European philosophy.

I don't think it's at all reasonable to suggest that Asian Buddhists (in Asia) deliberately produced a formulation of Buddhism to appeal to Western tastes. Rather, Buddhist teachers in the West tried to find a way of presenting Buddhism without the cultural baggage.

The kind of Buddhism that I learned was largely mediaeval or earlier in its origins. Even 19thC developments in (e.g.) Tibetan Buddhism had little impact at the time on European philosophy; those developments were largely concerned with points of doctrine that flew over the heads of European thinkers.

So I'm not sure what kinds of Buddhism "known to the West" are actually repackaged European philosophy. Nichiren? "Soft" vipassana? I don't really agree that there has been much pollination of Eastern Buddhist thought from European philosophy.

I love this sentiment. So many people have been conditioned to look for the “truth” in everything, when the reality is that not everything has a fundamental truth that’s meant to be universally understood.

There was a thread on one of the design subreddits not long ago about London’s book benches[1]. Some of the commenters were absolutely convinced that the benches are deliberately designed to be hostile to the homeless, because the seat is curved and can’t be easily used for sleeping - never mind that it’s meant to look like an open book.

In the case of indigenous Americans/Canadians/Australians it's also a bunch of Anglo-Saxons digging up the remains, and that rubs some people the wrong way :-)

It may be simpler than that, one cause of rejection is you working in the US while not allowed.

Moved and interred in a more convenient location?
> Okay. But wait a minute, why are you staying silent on the fact that the US is trying to contain China?

Because that doesn't change the fact that a war against Taiwan would be a war of choice?

> Let's say China puts missles in Cuba similar to what happened during the Cuban missle crisis, and the US attacks either China or Cuba as a result. Would you then also wholly blame the US for "its own choice to engage in such a war of aggression"?

This is an odd comparison given that the US stopped Taiwan from developing nuclear weapons thus preventing a similar situation as the Cuban missle crisis in Taiwan. If that's your point, then China should _thank_ the US for its actions preventing Taiwanese nuclear "aggression" (I put it in quotes, since really they were developing it to prevent invasion so calling it "aggression" is kind of ridiculous, but I digress...). Besides, the US _removed_ its troops from Taiwan decades ago so the US threat in Taiwan has really decreased if anything.

So yeah none of those points really change the fact that China does not need to invade Taiwan and that it would wholly be war of choice. China could just continue to live with an independent Taiwan as it has for more than 70 years. That is if it chooses not to start a war of its on volition.

Had a similar experience. The recruiting part of the process went pretty smoothly, until I got to the onsite. Had 5 on-site interviews (excluding lunch), all exactly the same format: walk in the room where my interviewer is waiting with a question written on the white board, they say "hello" to me and I'm expected to read the question, clarify it a little bit and start coding. Not a single interviewer cared about my past experience or what kind of a person I am. I guess they're relying on the lunch interview for that signal? Anyway I ended up getting rejected and the feedback was that I need to practice my algorithms more. (All the questions were slight variations on popular leetcode questions)

I've done startup, FAANG, and everywhere in between. Each offers advantages and disadvantages, but I learned far, far, far, far more about building software in my many years at startups. I've done everything from standing up infra, configuring routing tables, doing tech support, helping with sales, writing code, being a product manager, being a people manager, being an executive with a 40+ person distributed org, going through an acquisition, living through dotcom boom and bust, 2008 crisis, etc.

FAANG pay was ridiculous, and there are also great things to learn there as well, but I value my startup time much more in terms of my own growth.
Only on Hacker News is possible to read comment that unironically ask if being a millionaire is wealthy? Look at the percentile, look at the median and average income, median and average wealth, look at the distribution of wealth: in whatever way you look at it, yes, the equation millionaire = wealthy is true.
The Author misunderstands as badly as the people he is trying to explain to, conflating wealth and market value. If you own an asset, that is your wealth, no matter what dollar price you can sell it for, just the asset itself. You can trade it, but in aggregate, the amount of money and assets in the world stay the same. That's why the only real wealth increases are in GDP, someone creating some new wealth which never existed before. Price is just an estimate about the future, how large the money stream your assets might entitle you to capture over its lifetime, and one that has constantly to be revised. Value is subjective.

Google Cloud Network Service Tiers: An Overview
> This observation aligns with what is known as the Dunning-Kruger effect, where overconfidence at the start of the journey helps founders get started, but discouragement and self-doubt set in soon after

It’s refreshing to see mention of the DK effect linked to a more recent paper, one where the original authors are amending (contradicting) their original work. But I have never ever seen the DK effect mentioned in a context where it actually works as a reasonable explanation of human behavior, this post included. For example, if we take these papers at face value, one of the few things they actually do show is that there is a positive correlation between confidence and what they call “performance”; the more confident someone is in themselves, the more likely they are to be right about it. The most common (mis)conception of DK is the opposite of that. Being confident and then having reality set in is not what DK measured. Really, the only use DK has is a way for the speaker/author to position themselves as smart & authoritative by citing their awareness of it, often as if knowing of it helps you avoid it.

The original paper just did not measure anything even remotely close to startup success by founders, and thus it’s conclusions simply do not carry into this context. The paper did not measure any kind of job performance by any professionals. It didn’t measure complex tasks either. The tasks were basic and academic, e.g., a little grammar, ability to get a joke (seriously!), and the primary statistics they gathered were based on people ranking themselves against others whose performance they didn’t know, not primarily on isolated or objective self-evaluation. The sample of people was a tiny(!) set of Cornell undergrads(!) volunteering(!) for extra credit. There are just so many things wrong with assuming this work represents real human behavior, and the paper was misleading and is so completely misunderstood that I wish references to it would just stop: they’re never correct and never useful.

As a AMD fanboy who loves seeing them back on top, I’m just happy we have a competitive CPU market now. I’ll include the M-series from Apple as well, despite being platform locked, because it also forces the other players to up their game.

I would love to see an AMD chip as fully integrated as an M1, moving the RAM fully on die and part of the Infinity fabric directly. The insane memory bandwidth of the M1 is what keeps it competitive.

It is these types of platform questions that make Electron so powerful from the developer perspective. In building Beekeeper Studio I already have a lot of OS-specific problems to debug, having to also debug the webview just makes it 100x harder.
The first pyramids also resemble piles of rubble. You can in fact visit and see both the rise and fall of their pyramid building skills, as well as the lineage from older non-pyramid burial sites.

Shortly after the great pyramids were built, Egypt underwent a time of political turmoil, with evidence pointing to some combination of invasion and civil war.

The next iteration of pyramid building was a “make Egypt great again” political statement, but without the skills. You can see this loss and gain in the quality of art and paints, in addition to the architecture.

Soon after that though, pyramid building was again abandoned as big loud pyramids failed to accomplish one of their goals - the protection of the Royal mummy and its property. It was just too much of a target for grave robbers, often being emptied out by the very workers who built it. This resulted in a transition to much more subtle, hidden tombs. One of which was undiscovered until the 20th century - king tut’s. (The rest were also found and robbed.)
