This is tricky indeed, but something we keep at the front of mind and is very important to us. We have local offices and local teams solely focused on team engagement and happiness. We even have a community happiness manager. We have spent the last 4 years creating a community in every location we have an office with the sole focus of offering support, friendship, guidance, and mentors. Our goal is to help each team member feel like a core stakeholder on their US team. Another way of doing this is we're not afraid of firing customers. We don't let our customers treat our developers like second-class contractors. If that happens, we have a clause in our contract that we can terminate the relationship.
Do you know that Twitter still does not show link previews reliably? It does for big sites like Youtube, but if you link your dinky little self-hosted blog, with all the right OG meta tags, it's 50-50 whether Twitter decides to show the link preview image.

At this point, one must assume that Twitter will do nearly anything it can to disincentivize clicking out to a 3rd party site.

At least it's better than Instagram, which doesn't let you post clickable links at all in your posts.
I'm getting "Hmm...this page doesn’t exist. Try searching for something else." for every note that I click on.
A brief history of (unintentionally) unbeatable games
And I was wondering how long it would take for the hn version to arrive. Very cool.
Another recent incident was with them appending affiliate codes to specific crypto-related URLs by default. It was fixed after public outcry (the option still remains) at least, but I personally believe something like that shouldn't be in software at all, full stop.
Not GP, but I ride my bicycle for all of my transportation needs.
Ah except it doesnt go directly from brown -> (supposed) green in one step :) It is a whole bunch of slightly browner shade transforms. (Missing a few intermediate steps and no dissing on any of the stages) it might be something like:

Homeless -> Volunteer worker -> Govt job -> Non Faang -> Faang -> Enlightened that you missing out on life.
True, but I think that means "still not helpful, and possibly even harmful for those"... so still no good reason to take vitamin supplements without a deficiency.
A lot of users post comments about Brave that are inaccurate. They haven't done their research because "crypto is a ponzi" and learning about crypto would make them complicit or something. Unfortunately, this sort of attitude makes you lazy and stupid.

Obviously we can talk about the merits of Brave here and ignore the standard one liners.
I would say "Bring the Burroughs system architecture back"... but we might actually be doing that with CHERI!
Don't smoke a cigarette anywhere near them... :/

They have a huge problem with unexpected detonations.

One of the best things about vaping has been that I'm pretty sure that there are less unintentional home fires than in past decades, because when they are dropped on a mattress, they usually do not burn... Another aspect that no one really considers.
Real-Time Malware Process Detection and Automated Process Killing
It's now a calculation of whether they lose more face sticking pigheadedly to a bad decision, that the rest of world is moving on from, or losing more face by admitting they were wrong and quickly changing tactics.

Based on the fact that marijuana is still considered a schedule one drug, with no accepted medical use, at the US federal level, I'm going to put my money on pigheadedly continuing with a likely wrong strategy.

The US government is facing a rapidly accelerating legitimacy crisis due to its apparent inability to say "we were wrong".
Yeah, thanks. The article is about a book called "The End Of The World Is Just The Beginning", the missing "the" turns the meaning of the book title on its head, from an optimistic sounding "this is just the beginning" to a fatalistic "the end of the world is beginning".
I've lost track of how many times i've loaded this guy's profile by mistake:

>credible counter argument to his theses

Zeihan's thesis is generic geopolitical analysis, which is a fine model, but there's no reason to credit that to him. Really it's about the quality of his predictions which is hard to gauge other than he throws a lot of shit out to see what sticks and occasionally some do. Broken clock etc. Otherwise, he sells US exceptionalism powerpoints to wealthy boomers over expensive dinners. He tends to pile on "natural 20" dice rolls to America's favour and extrapolates from there why Fortress America will be fine no matter how much she FUBARs which undermines the quality of his prediction. It matters if supply chain break down was due to pandemic driven factors rather than active reshoring. Greece-Iran drama was Greece fulfilling US request and eventual release back to Iran - this isn't anarchy caused by US withdraw but US continued engagement/meddling while countries try to minimize fallout - essentially opposite cause of Zeihan prediction. Hard to credit right predictions for wrong reasons. Lastly if demography was destiny, India would be a super power - divident can turn into curse depending on policy and other structural factors.
Creating and Testing a Starlink Solar Powered Generator System
My neighbor's house was hit by lightning last year and it took out the ethernet ports on two of my devices. Nothing else was affected though. Those devices still work. They're on a PoE switch (though not using PoE) so that may have been part of the cause.
When I click on any of these notes, I just get

> Hmm...this page doesn’t exist. Try searching for something else.
There is nothing in the legislature that I have seen that says life saying abortions are not allowed, can you point me to where you are seeing otherwise?
> There isn't any fluff in a Twitter thread.

That's optimistic. It's really common to see people drag out a very simple story or point over dozens of tweets.
As long as the sun rises, my house has power and my EVs charge. The sun is more reliable than petroleum supply infrastructure. It’s Mr Fusion 8 light minutes away.

I don’t have batteries yet because I have favorable net metering and my utility is natural gas fired (which pairs better with distributed renewable generation vs coal or nuclear), but if/when their power quality declines, my system is future proof to accept battery storage.
What a blast from the past, DSL was an exciting technology.

I did the config and networking of DSLAMs for the first private test installs of Paradyne (Hotwire) DSL hardware in a western state around ~1998-1999, a couple years before DSL really hit the mainstream.

The telecos were slow to move on the technology and didn't do their own centralized rollouts until several years later. We took full advantage of that lead time time to win away a lot of ISDN customers with much lower prices and much faster service. We also saw end of that advantage coming and got out of the business before we had to compete directly with the telecos who could operate at scale and do bundled pricing of the line + service that was harder to compete with. At the time high speed internet over cable was also a while off for the general public.

We also had a tip from a teleco employee that we could use DC Signalling channels / dry copper pairs instead of regular phone circuits (no dial tone, they were meant for alarm service). They cost about 1/2 to 1/3 of the price.

At one point we petitioned to get the local telco to dig up the sidewalk and install several hundred more copper pairs into the building.

It was really interesting to watch the internet access landscape change so quickly.
If one wants a blog with self-hosted comments, then there not so many options and those that exist are not particularly simple. For example, standalone Wordpress can do that, but setting it up and running with all relevant plugins requires skills that few authors have access to.
Why eliminate smoking entirely? Some people want to smoke and that should be their business. The risks of smoking have been known for decades and some people accept those risks because they enjoy it. Instead of harassing them, how about we accept that personal freedom means that some people won't always make the choices you would like.
Twitter doesn't care about a pair of anonynmous eyeballs not visiting their site anymore. It's not Google. Twitter's ad targeting depends on knowing what a user looks at, and how their network of connections/follows lines up with other user segments.
I've been a professional Clojure developer for some time now. My main observation when it comes to this is that Clojure is often picked to solve particular problems based on the capabilities it offers over other languages very deliberately. I've seen quite a few cases where an organization had attempted to solve a really high value problem with a more mainstream language, realized that it was next to impossible to succeed that way, and then tried Clojure with great results. In short, oftentimes Clojure makes it easy to solve really difficult problems and expert Clojure developers are in short supply.

Some examples of problems that I've seen Clojure excel in solving:
1. Complex rule modeling
2. Optimization systems
3. Big Data pipelines
4. Highly concurrent systems
5. Streaming systems
I hope Goggles can be used as a ranking signal to help default search engine deliver better results.

Google has never had the appetite for letting users explicitly improve its results. Their reasoning was that pure algorithm is the only possible solution that scales. Even the minor features, such as "I never want to see this site", were removed.

I am glad Brave is trying out something different. Crossing my fingers that it works, the current state of search is so meh..

> StarOffice is more appealing to my ears

Now THAT's a name I haven't heard in a while. And it does sound vaguely attractive, certainly more than the two alternatives.
There are lot of approaches, how to do this. For me simplest solution, to use computer with opensource unix as gateway, with 3 lan cards.

- 1 connect to internet, with real ip;
- 2 connect to first lan, with grey ip numbers (192.168. , 172. ), which have nat;
- 3 connect to second lan, other grey ip network, which NOT have nat, and all packets going from it to 0/0 silently dropped by firewall.

All nets use dhcp, and have dns and ntpd for convenience, because it is much easier to change few tables at gateway, than change properties of all devices, when happen some difficulty.

Example of difficulty, I few times had troubles with my home lan, because my provider use grey ips in their network and my home net addresses conflicts with providers. So I changed networks of my home lan for some range which is not used by my provider.

BTW, this is really big trouble for some cheap hardware routers, because they have limited IP functionality, and for example one of my own such device only work with 192.168. grey ip range, they don't added 172. network range.
It's not nonsense.

It's real predictions and a real risk:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_uranium

And the idea is that if we would create a ton more reactors that we still would need to solve real issues with uran.

And besides this issue, look at who owns uran and who consumes it.

There should be a huge motivation for the USA to start harvesting much more energy from the sun alone for u depends reasons alone.
Apple will not accept that, unfortunately. :(
The 3D CAD industry is very similar. People with 20-40 years of tenure. Old C, Lisp, etc. codebases.

Has it occured to you that maybe their field is just so much more complicated than the run of the mill web crap we do, that they just can’t be bothered to care about which language their tooling is written in, or which line the braces should go?
Companies have a few avenues to help with this. The Astro dashboard lets the US company sponsor meaningful perks that value teammates and really make a difference with retention and wellbeing; Bonuses, health insurance, gym memberships, education resources, access to co-working or offices for the team, even coordinate hard to get equipment like Macbooks, Airpods.

We can even coordinate travel and off site retreats to really help the team feel like one. Finally, our platform keeps US companies accountable for things like regular salary reviews and career paths. All the perks in the world won't matter if that's not in place.
Now they just need to make the reading experience of these notes not abysmal. Remove the dreaded "Who To Follow" and "Trending" sidebars, and collapse the left pane.

Right now, less than 1/3rd of the screen is for representing the writing.
My EV is plugged in whenever it is in the garage. I'm sure most other EV owners have the same habit.
+1 - Id also argue that even though that show costs $300 we have enough of a market and population to have competition drive prices down in a generation or two (if not faster).
Even the first part (powerwall setup basically) could be useful.

But it’s best when coupled with reduced usage where possible - if we get to a point where the majority of residential electrical usage is cars we’ll be doing pretty well.
Governments only really started to care about vaping when teen smoking started to plummet. Those teens were going to become a valuable revenue stream!

Also, governments have a perverse incentive to maintain tobacco sales. There are 10x as many enforcement checks for tobacco taxes being paid as there are for underage tobacco purchases.
The "brokering of data" is in-device. They don't get to access any of it.

You don't anything to do with ads? Just don't sign up to the rewards system. It's opt-in.

The "crypto scam"? What part of it is a scam, if at no point users are required to put any money or buy anything to participate? It is also opt-in, and the token exists mostly because it is the only way possible for them to pay users their share of revenues anywhere in the world without having to become a money transmitter themselves.
I've never heard of Zeihan. The article touts his prowess of predicting a Russian invasion of Ukraine in his book published in late 2014. Well, Russia had just seized Crimea and eastern Donbass in February of 2014, so this doesn't strike me as a particularly prescient call.
Apple rejects apps that are just wrappers around a website. :(
I mean, maybe, but that's definitely a question to ask your doctor. Instead of self-diagnosing with a deficiency that you may not have and then spending money to treat it in a way that does nothing if you were wrong, ask your doctor, get a blood test, and get a real diagnosis to know if you need supplements.

Especially since, as stop50 mentioned in this thread, there are some vitamins that you can actually overdose on without meaning to as they get stored in fat and accumulate. Then you're causing yourself harm based on guessing you might have a deficiency. Doctors, medicine, blood tests: they all exist for a reason. Get the information before taking action, don't make guesses about your health.
I’ve been using Brave Search for the last couple of weeks after stints with DDG and Kagi. Brave has been the best experience by far.
See, there you go ruining a perfectly bad joke with science.

However, I'm now inclined to get that copper/brass distiller I've always wanted. I was going to make my own essential oils, but now I'll just use it as mosquito defense for my back patio
It's logically impossible, which is proof. The being would be unable to create an immovable object, because if they're omnipotent they would be able to move the object, if they can't move the object then they are not omnipotent.
Having worked in the JVM ecosystem building low latency systems for over a decade, I always aspire to have the minute knowledge Aleksey has. I wish there was a book/MOOC for more senior engineers, but i've found myself content and happy with the Anatomy Quark series.

It seems your "i" is broken :-)

But yes, hardware (and software) support is the main reason I've been using Linux for the last 5 years after 15 years of FreeBSD. Back in 2000-2010 it would more or less suck equally on both so it didn't really matter, and the Linuxolator was good enough to run most Linux things (played a lot of Unreal Tournament on my FreeBSD box back in the day!), but today is situation is much better on Linux and has kind of stagnated on FreeBSD. This is not entirely FreeBSD's fault, but that doesn't change the end-result, and I have a lot of other things I want to do now than muck about with my system.
Even being a liberal myself, I agree that it's a mistake to push liberalism on cultures that are not interested in liberalism. This has put completely unnecessary strain on the relations between the west and places like Russia and the Middle East.

What is non-negotiable on the other hand is that whoever you are and wherever you are, the rule of law must be respected. You may correctly point out that not even the west is perfect in this regard, but then go be better than the west. Be the place we should want to emigrate to, not the other way around.
Resulting from otherwise positive changes doesn't mean low birth rates aren't a problem. It's a long term one, of course, but they have to be fixed at some point. If the entire world gets to the development level of South Korea with birth rates below 1, civilization will collapse until it regresses to a point that people start having >2 children again.
One really important improvement that we can make for free* is increased memberships in regional automatic power markets and balancing authorities like the California Independent System Operator. Organizations like these make the exchange of power between neighboring entities smarter, faster, and smoother than they ever have in the past. It's not magic and it won't make an overloaded transmission system magically not overloaded but it's a huge step in the right direction.

As a small fish in that particular pond it concerns me a bit that the government of California has some degree of control over the organization, though. I'd say a positive change would be to massively expand the size of the various balancing authorities and put them all under the purview of the federal government.

*not actually free, but free on the scale of other necessary changes.
An economy without growth will fall apart. Yuval Noah Harari said it very well. Lenders only lend because there’s faith that $1 loaned today becomes more than $1 paid back tomorrow.

Without growth there’s no incentive to lend. Without lending we’re looking at medieval level economies.

It’s not the only thing we care about, but it’s a necessity. That being said growth can come in all shapes and sizes. Elevating everyone out of poverty is growth. Reducing waste increases efficiency, that’s also growth.

Growth is not a bad word. It’s absolutely required for positive outcomes. The potential for growth is infinite. What, you might ask, about when everyone is elevated out of poverty and waste is largely eliminated? Truly infinite requires growth even beyond that. We should be so lucky to face that problem. But the answer there is obvious as well. The resources available in the universe are effectively infinite.
Do Astro developers sign any kind of exclusivity or non-compete contract that would make it harder for them to leave to work for another company?

A former company I worked for hired some excellent Central American developers through a company, and I later learned those guys had all signed contracts that made them give more than half their salary to the outsourcing company for two years, and if they wanted to leave before the end of two years, they had to pay a lump sum that was about a year's salary.
This is is how I say it, knowing it's technically wrong and sloppy but my convenience trumps that.

Clearly the outcome anyone wants for their name. Nailed it.
I did the same and i’ve had the override search engine option on for two months now to use it.
Using Google is a no for me (except really borderline situations), startpage is good but still based on google, ddg sucks and is totally unable to provide good results for my area. I can say Brave is already better than everything else except google and the search engines that use it. The “discussions” widget that shows reddit previews makes it sometimes better than everything else and this google feature will hopefully make it the best. I don’t really like the crypto stuff and many of the ideas that guide the making of the brave browser (so i don’t use it), however they have been shipping products that are simply very good lately.
Actually, what you call brand recognition could be monetary adoption, as every nongovernmental money such as gold or silver had widespread adoption on their merits.

Bitcoin solved the Byzantine generals' problem in adversarial network contexts, by its innovative deployment of proof-of-work. Thus, bitcoin invented thermodynamically secured property rights, and property rights are a fundamental building block for human flourishing. Bitcoin provides a decentralized trustless source of truth, and none of the other cryptos do that because they're not nearly as widely adopted.

Bitcoin is a strong base layer that faster more anonymous payments can be based upon, such as Lightning or Liquid, and things like CoinJoin and PayJoin, which are trust less and noncustodial. You can't start with a squishly base layer and then build stable systems, but if you start with solid fundamentals, privacy and better user experiences can be built on top.

Bitcoin is also currently solving the natural gas industry's problem of flaring methane... portable mining rigs use the methane to generate electricity to provide network security to the Bitcoin network, while making natural gas extraction cleaner. Bitcoin mining is also incentivising and paying for the production of clean renewable energy on larger scales than anyone had figured how to fund. And some people use bitcoin mining to provide home heating in the winter. No other crypto is doing those things.
I think the procedure I described also can do this, but the 6-digit code is sent in the background. I don't see why a human has to physically write out 6 digits from phone to computer, instead of it just happening automatically.

I main difference here is usability. The current process is going into an app, finding+choosing the website from a list, tapping that website, manually copying from one screen to another, checking that you copied the digits correctly, then confirming. This is stressful and takes about a minute. A process where you just confirm a dialog, or use your fingerprint takes 2 seconds, and doesn't require the mental effort of memorizing and writing out 6 digits. If the people working on security can't see the enormous difference between the two workflows, then this is hopeless.

It's the same issue that plagues the security-minded people who think regular users will go around copying and storing each others' PGP keys.

This perfectly captures what a sales pitch is since it doesn't mention any of the negatives of OpenBSD.
It is a classics to inisist on a simplistic definition which ignores all the history and cultural context of a term, and then no-true-scotsman any objection.

Merriam-Webster says:

32 bits can address 4GiB. That's how 2^32 works. It can also address 2GiB, or 1GiB. I think the wording is fine.

Like saying a car can go up to 200mph, no one thinks the car is unable to go 50mph.
I'd be surprised if power use weren't hitting record highs every single year. More people, more EVs, more more industrial automation, more data centers, more new construction with climate control, and on and on. Efficiency gains can't possibly be enough to offset overall growth.
