If you spend any time reading their retail forums [1], you'll see almost everyone lambasting Amazon constantly. Either disgruntled sellers who broke the rules and got terminated, or normal, hardworking mom-and-pop stores that were all but forced to sell on Amazon and consistently lose money due to amazon's ever-changing policies, poor support, and catering to large retailers. Large retailers get a direct line and quality support, while most sellers on Amazon get treated like crap.

Having read the „three body“ series I wonder if there is an actual debate about the dark forest theory? Or: Should we announce our existence and location to the universe?
A lot of businesses are like that, particularly telemarketing and low skill. Churn and burn. It almost feels like the pornography industry at times, every day someone turns 18.
The previously mentioned Vicks or cigar tricks are good and cheap.

If you don't want to mask it, then you could try a respirator with activated charcoal filters (like for painting and staining).
For positive solutions, you are correct--verifying the solution is incredibly easy. For negative solutions (UNSAT), however, this is not the case--UNSAT is in Co-NP, not NP. Finding an efficiently verifiable representation of the UNSAT proof can be very challenging, which is part of why solvers are given much more time to produce and verify certificates than they are to solve the problem in the first place.
I like Nim and I think it is a really powerful language, but I simply don't find a use for it.

If I need to write easy deployable backend apps I go for PHP.

If I need GUI I go with Python and Qt.

If I need to write numerical apps, data science, ML or related things I go for Python.

I use Go for cli apps and http web services.

For highly interactive front-end stuff, JavaScript.

But I simple don't know where Nim fits within my needs.

Any suggestions?

> What were the conditions that facilitated their hyper growth phase?

A huge wave of crypto hype and a worldwide asset price bubble (including their stock price as well as crypto currencies) fueled by central-bank money printing during Covid.

> Are we moving to a place where people are trading less and holding more?

Well, just trading less, as the crypto collapse is going to burn (has already burned) so many people that it will take some time before the next round of hype and FOMO builds, so that a new set of bag holders can be found.

Is it possible to personalize your pitches to individual users? At our startup [1] we try to get straight to point when pitching the product and demo something that is as close as possible to how the person we're talking to would actually use the product.

For example, here's a video I just recorded a few minutes ago for someone that I've been talking to via email: https://www.loom.com/share/01fd4a6963a04258908f7b12e2afaa3a

One advantage we have is that it only takes a few minutes to show the product, and it works on any publicly available site so with a little research it's pretty easy to show something that's pretty close to how they'd use the product themselves.

Yours is a broad epistemic question. How can you be sure of anything? How can you be sure what the Amazon exec stated in a Reuters article last year is accurate?

We're dealing with uncertainty in all regards. My position is that it's best to be transparent with our uncertainty.

If the article had said "We didn't have good wage data to directly compare Walmart & Amazon warehouse compensation against each other", I would have loved it, because it'd show transparency/honesty/authenticity. Or if they did an analysis using data from job postings or wage sites and were very transparent on their methodology and admitted what you stated "These figures were taken from job postings on X.com, which can often have ranges. Consider there to be some degree of imprecision."

I totally get that it's not a norm in the media today to do that, and there are a lot of structural incentives that create that situation. I can empathize with each actor/individual within the broader system, and that they're doing their best within the world they live in.
I can't give instructions that specific but despite my sometimes spastic post history, having a healthier diet (yogurt in the morning for "breakfast" + 2 small meals, (as in an espresso and a croissant) then a big meal in the evening + no liquid calories (booze counts) helped me drop 50lb.

Another key seemed to be avoiding artificial sugar.

Following these heuristics (not rules - strict diets encourage you to chase losses if you slip up) seemed to help more than any strict diet, though it helps with depression, not anxiety, which is mostly situational.

(This is a news site. The news is not good right now, even here, away from war and famine in the "tech world".)
This is the one that immediately sprang to mind for me too. Hype around it was huge and then seemed to die away pretty quickly.
Isn't support for external displays is a basic functionality, that is expected to be handled by the system? MacOS makes sub-4k monitors pretty much unusable for people with good eyesight who works with text a lot. Yet Apple haven't fixed the jaggy fonts in a years, they deliberately made it worse by removing subpixel anti-aliasing.
As a result, AWS engineers are very much promotion oriented. This leads to two results: title inflation and disgruntled employees. L6 used to be a big deal but not any more. L7 is now the new L6. The challenge with this arrangement is that whoever got promoted early on but stayed in the same level get less in return. And apparently it's human's nature to compare. When engineers see that their peers get promoted to L7 (a role used to be considered almost impossible to reach) in three years for no particularly obvious reasons, they can barely hide their cold anger.
I had similar issues. I went and saw a functional medicine doctor, had a stool test and he diagnosed me with candida overgrowth. Which may be what you had. Here is the diet protocol for beating back candida, which is similar to the diet you put yourself on. https://www.thecandidadiet.com/

This comment reminds me when Apple revamped Finder to include "All My Files". To me it felt like they were giving up. "FINE! Can't find something? HERE'S EVERYTHING!"

These sort of pseudo-directories honestly bother me more than just plain old hierarchy. For example on Windows, "This PC/Documents" is really "%userprofile%/Documents", but to get to %userprofile% you have to go to C:\Users\<username>. But there's TONS of other stuff that lives in %userprofile%
I’m not claiming that we should not improve that single second, but summing it is a meaningless operation. It doesn’t matter for a user how many other user spent time on it as well.
A coworker got an email from a rep saying that if they didn't respond they would "consider suspending direct Google Ads support services for your company"

But, most of these reps (unless you're really big/ working with the accelerated growth team etc) are outsourced and don't have any power.

Even the ones who aren't outsourced don't have any real power and are essentially sales people.
NYT's visual journalism team is top-notch.
Worth pointing out that while that documentary isn't irredeemably bad, it gets a lot of information wrong. The whole point about the timing of corn domestication, for example? Wrong dates, and corn wasn't even close to the first crop domesticated. Squashes were and evidence for their domestication in the Americas extends to at least 11k BP. The bronze-making thing? Mesoamerica was notoriously late to game as far as American metallurgy goes, but it had been present in mesoamerica since around the 7th century.

The second has much the same issues with being unfamiliar with current knowledge and an uncritical acceptance of literary sources/narratives.
Curious, why do people read Wolfram’s writing?

(Honestly cannot recall ever reading anything from him that was actually useful or concise. If you read all the post, links of it, links of those posts, it would take days if not weeks to read and have no reason to believe that the end result would be any different than having spending 2-mins reading his writings.)
This is the crux of the matter right here.

I hate that people are doing all these weird gymnastics to reconcile being a champion of free speech and firing people that criticize you.

Yeah, guys, it might be legal (maybe not) but it IS hypocritical. If you want to champion free speech you can't do this shit. Stop with the debate team bullshit and exercise some common sense.
Why are you comparing apples to hydrazine?

How to hack a hospital? Scada ICCShacking
Hello everyone
My name is Semih. I am an 18 year old hacker. Actually, it would be more accurate to say SCADA/ICS and OSINT hacker. Today I'm going to talk to you about hacking critical industrial control systems. When I first started this business, there were not many resources on the internet, so I decided to write this blog. I want to inspire you by writing an incident that happened to me First of all, I must say that scada hacking is not like other types of hacking. Thanks to the scada system you hacked, you can sometimes cut off the electricity of a city, and sometimes cause dozens of planes to crash at an airport.
I was doing bug bounty when I was 16 years old. I suffered many injustices and did not receive any money. I wanted to focus on a more serious field. First, I targeted a sector (health sector). Then I chose a country and chose India. The reason they chose India was because they produced thousands of unsafe software. I then identified a suitable company (www.meddiff.com). Then I found the ip address of the software the company sells (I won't tell you how I found these ip addresses). I then discovered an incorrect security configuration in the system. I was able to enter the hospital system by taking advantage of this vulnerability and I was very surprised. Because I had the citizenship information, phone numbers, loads of connected devices and bank accounts of thousands of patients and doctors. I discovered 100 more hospitals affected by this vulnerability. I infiltrated all these hospitals. Later, I wrote an e-mail to the company that produced this software, but even after 6 months, there was still no progress. I reported this to the Indian consulate in my country. They also directed me to the ministry of defense. I was promised a monetary reward by the company, but they did not. And they closed the gap.
If you have more questions about Scada/ICS hacking, you can reach me on Instagram.

A lot of the suggestions here are for USA national or local regional news. For international news, Foreign Policy (foreignpolicy.com) is excellent. It avoids the "Breaking News" noise trap and instead explains the context and significance of world events. Largely apolitical with a slight slant of liberal internationalism.

But this IS traditional finance, in a very key sense: the money loaned to 3AC was NOT done using defi. When I have collateral I loan out using actual-defi the liquidation rules are transparent and the holdings are transparent and if something starts crashing I get to cause the liquidation before all of my money just disappears into a black hole of people lying to me. That 3AC then took their traditionally-loaned money and did something dumb with it involving crypto is not an argument that defi is broken but that people shouldn't be using tradfi: what is stupid here was people trusting 3AC instead of using their own tooling (a problem that I fully admit is so endemic in the cryptocurrency industry that I have to CONSTANTLY complain to my own business partners that our using Coinbase Custody to hold any of our currency is flat out embarrassing).
>"No politics at work"?

I love it when people act like politics is something we can just "not do". As if "politics" were this special thing that gets played out in an official forum.

Politics is life. Politics is what happens when more than two people need to agree on anything anywhere. Politics is everything. And when you say "no politics", what you're actually saying is "My politics override yours, so shut up.".
Your first two “rights” (form a union, and if they do, to organize a strike) are in fact legally protected behavior in the US. Latter two are just made-up nonsense. No, they in fact do not have those “rights”, you just wish they did.
We currently have people leaving who are being replaced by others with higher salaries and similar contributions. So it's not like it's meritorious.

With the information and power imbalance between companies and workers, it seems the companies are already an oligopoly. Unions are the oligopoly on the opposing side to balance that out.
I would say that the tool should reason about it at compile time, a la SolidJS.
> Unless you're a woman, then he'll deem you intellectually inferior a priori.

Do people still really believe that is what he said? I'm all for calling out hypocrisy, but what he said was empirically true; their are professions that are male dominated, just are there are some that are female denominated--and the latter tends to have less scrutiny.

Male nurses are the exception and it is one of the most highly paid professions in the professional World, and yet NO ONE and I mean NO ONE has been calling for discriminatory hiring practices in the Medical Industry over that. And especially right now when they are having to under go horrible shift requirements due to a lack of staff and applicants.

This is one of the many ugly truths of about these narratives: they actually DO want preferential prejudices, but only in a way that favors those who tend to make the loudest (and often misguided and misinformed) noise with their narratives.

I did most of my undergrad with nurses and dated several, I don't envy their profession and the money while on the surface seems appealing is hardly going to make up for the seemingly hell they go through every week, especially during COVID. I respect them for what they do, and just accept that that level of triage and care-taking tends to be a female dominated domain.

Tech is a cushy, albeit tedious and often brain numbing monotonous career choice by contrast and I have no doubt that anyone who could work doubles during COVID in an ER could master writing basic scripts and using SO like everyone else does if they wanted. But they don't and they'd rather strike in order to reform their profession instead.
Ask HN: Do You Use Enum for Yes, No, Unset?
I've seen different arguments on this topic and thought I'd ask HN if you all have a standard for this.

Say you have a form that's filled out and saved to a DB.
One required field is a dropdown with Yes and No.
But the field begins as blank to show that a value hasn't been selected yet, ensuring that the User pays attention to the field.

Do you use a Nullable Bit (DB) and Nullable Bool (Code)?
OR an Enum: Yes, No, Unset?

You wouldn't use a boolean to represent states like say New, Processing, Done. But do you consider NULL a separate "state"?

Thanks
They need critical race theory training at spacex. That would solve this.
Yup, The Economist are terrible spammers. I tried many many times to get them to stop sending me all that garbage about their events and whatever, and they just don't do it. Fortunately I have an email address custom to them, so I just deleted it. Now when my subscription lapses I won't get the notifications.

Here's the thing about The Economist: everything they do that is not related to journalism is a complete shitshow. Subscriptions, phone app, spamming, just awful.

>pretty strong evidence that the jobs look a lot worse once you're in one of them

Pretty strong evidence that the job is worse than people would expect would be an anonymous survey of workers by a third party.

Churn can result from any number of factors. It simply isn't enough to support your conclusion, and a lack of imagination in seeing alternative explanations isn't proof. Warehouse jobs have high churn. Yes, Amazon's churn is higher.

A pandemic is just ending. Amazon hired a lot of temporary staff. Temporary staff are temporary.

As things open people have more employment options. People will always go to the best option available. That doesn't mean the job they left is inhumane. It means they found something better.

Finally, Amazon has a signing bonus. Some workers may be there just for the bonus. Once they get it they may want something that pays less but is easier.
Combine that with the CLA plague and you have a recipe for nothing but corporate-backed open source contributions. Individuals need not apply.

I see the need for FreeCAD to form an organization or foundation as a non-profit. This is explicitly mentioned in the wiki. https://wiki.freecad.org/Donate

In FreeCAD, I see a product that is almost there, but suffers from a lack of creative leadership and business thought. Of course, it's being done by long suffering devs with little resources and time. But the truth is this could be a success on the level of Arduino or RPi if the right organizational structure was agreed upon and executed.

Devs need to be paid. Labors of love never turn out as well as well funded endeavors. There are many models to point to but the one I like is RedHat. RedHat serves corporate customers for money, and delivers free products to individuals. Open source software for free but with paid support and custom development. This is the way.

In my opinion this is the perfect model for a CAD system development organization. FreeCAD needs to be free for users to learn and modify. This is goes without saying and FreeCAD is popular with users IN SPITE of it's glaring flaws. If FreeCAD could be developed to a level that made it a viable choice for professionals like myself, a mechanical engineer, to trust enough to base a development toolchain on, then corporate money for enterprise level solutions would flow like water. The CAD market is ripe for disruption and a solid open source model could do that. SW costs ~$4000 plus ~$1000 per year in maintenance fees and let's be honest, it is broken but usable and has a network effect in play. But nothing they do is unique or even especially state of the art, it's stuck in the 80s.

How do we make this happen HN. I see a "FreeCAD is gr8" post like once every two months and looking at it we should be able to org our way to a better solution.

My DMs are open.

I look forward to hearing the argument that society should indefinitely bankroll large symphony orchestras at good salaries, but I am skeptical that it would actually convince people. It seems to me that outside of the very rich and the very old, the popularity of classical music has dramatically among audiences. "Think of the oboeists!" is not necessarily a winning campaign slogan. I mean it when I say that I hope this changes, but I don't see how it can unless classical musicians find a way to actually appeal to a broader segment of the public.

> This is the norm for outsider art/thought and is what allows it to sometimes prove revolutionary.

The idea that outsider artists and thinker weren't often extremely aware of ongoing and historical conversations around what they're talking about, especially the revolutionary ones, is just not true. Almost all avant-garde or very far on the edge thinkers understand the canons of their trades and practices deeply. That's how they're able to place their thinking and work in context as radical and outsider --- they're "breaking the rules" by knowing them.

> It’s a long view process and needn’t be rushed. It’s not like Wolfram’s at risk of giving up his efforts for being an outsider this way.

That's precisely why I think he should interact with the work and history that's already been done in the areas he's working in. If there's no rush, why write these blog posts in the style of breathless private rants instead of finely honed and elegant arguments?
Eventually their reputation will precede themselves with all job types. I think this also mimics their other business practices of short term-ish decisions for revenue instead of longer term practices to build a place where people are attracted naturally.

What will happen with their tech products when they can't staff engineers, can't get ahead of the bad PR for recruiting and don't want to pay over market to attract those that will put up with their way of working? They might have some systemic outage level things happen where companies may take their business elsewhere. Or maybe not, I don't have a crystal ball.

Cloud abstraction/migration technologies might be a good investment/startup.
