I'm also slightly confused.

If they were scraping the information/pictures off the supermarket sites, then I'd have expected the cease and desist to come from the supermarkets.

Given that the letter came from "a company" then I presume they were taking their information from an aggregator - and seems entirely fair that you should "pay the aggregator" (as there's clearly a company out there doing something similar to what they're doing - but they were taking their data).

If this company was just a data-hose, then I'd have thought you could monetize your consumer-focussed product, simply by flogging anonymized data from your users back to the supermarkets.
"Customer X, dropped product Y from their weekly basket (or swapped supermarket), when you raised the price of Z (or other supermarket dropped it)"
They shouldn't, but they need to stop acting like it's a rebuttal of the other position.

This is a huge part of the "debate". The two sides aren't even talking about the same issue because they haven't agreed on common language defining what the issue even is.
Those are fair points. And you may well be right.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Perhaps in a country with a homogeneous religious culture it’s easy to dictate dogmatism, and while the US might be religious compared to perhaps Europe, it is not homogeneous. I’d argue that you could take two different congregations affiliated with the same denomination and probably find topics or scripture that would create fierce debate between the two.

Birth control might be a big deal to some devout Catholics and some primitive/fundamentalist Baptists, but virtually every other denomination and congregation is literally not going to care.
How are you planning to limit the rate at which new features are added?

* Restricting the rate of new releases doesn't necessarily mean you're reducing the average feature development rate. It might instead mean that you're releasing hundreds of new features per release, which is definitely worse than releasing a hundred versions with one feature each, because it can force people to rush things out to meet a release window instead of releasing them when they're actually ready.

* Restricting the number of feature bullet points per release doesn't necessarily mean you're reducing the amount of functionality being developed. It might instead mean that people try to develop huge "super-features" that technically count as one bullet point but actually gets used in dozens of different ways. Super-features are an easy way to wind up with a system where everything is possible, but the stuff you do every day is more difficult than it needs to be.
I've seen both (as I work in civil engineering). That is all dependant on the asphalt mix. Parking lots are usually not done with a proper performance graded asphalt, so they'll deteriorate very easily under strenuous loading conditions. Roads (in well-regulated jurisdictions) use strong asphalt mixes with a lot of large granular aggregate and a lot less asphaltic content (and asphalt that's stable at higher temperatures). This makes roads a lot tougher in these loading conditions, but also tough (and therefore expensive) to put down - need to roll it fast while its still hot, with both steel drum rollers and rubber tyre rollers.

Not saying they can't be damaged, just that a parking lot is a poor comparison
or, you get to a certain level of popularity and you can sell your swag, like https://thegithubshop.com/

Going to Microsoft events in the late 90s, early 2000s I remember getting all kinds of good swag, webcams, toolkits, t-shrts, usb drives, headsets.
“Work is work” [0]. As an organization scales, an increasing fraction of employee time is spent on communication instead of work, leading at best to diminishing returns on headcount and sometimes to total gridlock. To the extent that an organization wants to derive marginal productivity from marginal headcount, it needs to find ways to get employees to talk to each other less.

Tattoo pigments are about 1.5 to 2mm under the outer skin. One would need to implant the e-ink spheres at that depth and control it with electric fields over the skin. Pigments would need to be dense enough the image would be visible.

Sounds feasible, but I’m not sure about the toxicity of the e-ink capsules.
"mass immigration" != "great replacement"

The "Great Replacement" specifically talks about this as being a deliberate plan by "wealthy elites", and again, is racist paranoid bullshit.

If you're going to talk about a specific thing, you can't just generalise it to every concern around immigration.

And while there are genuine concerns around immigration, like housing capacity, how to help migrants settle in, etc., most "people on the street" are just complaining about lazy immigrants who are simultaneously "stealing our jobs" and going on benefit.
They got it from web scraping, doesn't exactly have a license I guess...?
Although ... the existence of a libc with SIMD versions of its functions is not implausible. There are compilers that would produce such functions beside the normal ones if the source is decorated with the right #pragma.

Such functions would be called only from within vectorised loops (or other SIMD versions of functions).
I generally hate swag, but my company gave me a coffee mug that is the best mug I've ever used.
Don't you believe that the physical owner of a device should be entitled to complete control of the code that is executed in it? This goes beyond business models.
No, this is actually the worst to me. No, I will not actively wear your SWAG like it's special. I actually find it sad that so many employees actively wear company SWAG. It's even worse when the employees purchase it.
I think it's not uncommon for recreational psychedelic users to have a disdain and aversion to actual junkies, if using the 1970s sense of the word, would literally mean heroin addicts. Big dividing line between the two sorts of drug users.
You are correct. Nonetheless, those paying in to the system today acquiesced to the plan under the assumption that they would one day be able to take their place as beneficiaries. They gave up significant amounts of money which could have been invested toward their own retirement to pay those SS taxes. Simply ripping it away without compensation is neither fair nor realistic.
Fair enough - I guess my comment was based on my experience that I usually see it used as an attempt to convince others, not as an attempt to describe their own viewpoints.
That looks really exciting! Please keep us in touch with your efforts and let us know if there's any way we can be helpful.
I didn't actually try it out and I'm not all that familiar with WASM. Here is the typescript I see (stripped of boilerplate comments):

export function compile(s: string): CompileResult;

export class CompileResult {
free(): void;

readonly error: CompileError | undefined;

readonly sql: string | undefined;

}

What is the purpose of the free() method?
No need to go there when 99% of HN comments provides the same material. And I wouldn't call it enjoyable. The comments are the same as when Bitcoin was $100. Frankly, I'd call it ignorant.
You don't need to do anything of the sort. Housing is one of the most tightly regulated form of capital expenditure in the US.

Most of the US is zoned to SFH-only zoning. What this means is that real-estate developers and property owners are not allowed by law to build anything other than a single-family home. This is accompanied by mandates to achieve certain minimum lot sizes (lots have to be at least a certain size), maximum FAR (Floor-Area Ratio), and minimum setbacks (a residence has to be set back from the street by a minimum number of feet). You cannot build low-impact businesses in these areas like corner stores or barber shops/salons. These rules result in the suburban American homogeneity that you see throughout many neighborhoods in America. This doesn't even cover the role of HOAs which are additional local bureaucracy which control what residents are or are-not allowed to build when and where on their property.

Relax (but don't get rid of) zoning and other mandates around US building and empower property owners to make the changes themselves. If they don't want to, they don't have to either. But give them the choice.
> What we need is real leadership from politicians who are willing to stake their tenure in office on pushing projects through.

Real leadership is to do what politicians are already doing because most people who pursue high-level leadership positions do it for selfish reasons.
Very frequently polled queues come to mind, but usually I'll use a db first anyway as there are benefits to it.
If pregnant women have bodily autonomy, then it is their body and their choice. The argument is whether a fetus has the right to use another person’s body against their own will.

Otherwise we’re saying that bodily autonomy is not absolute and it’s OK to use people’s body’s against their wishes.

If a woman must use her body to give life to the baby inside her, then I really don’t think it’s that big of leap to a situation where someone is compelled to give a kidney to save a life. After all, we’ve conceded that people can be compelled to use their bodies in ways they don’t desire to.
If you want a computer you can upgrade instead of tossing in a landfill when the next shiny new thing comes out, then Apple is about the worst manufacturer you could pick. Buy a Framework instead.
Fine, then that other body can survive without the first, and be the ward of the state, paid for by tax dollars.

The entire disagreement is a made up political wedge that is held by a minority of a particular religion which for the most part is actually against their very own holy book. A book that is full of actual "baby" killing and not just lumps of unborn cells which actually weren't recognized by any religions as a "baby" until someone decided to apply their "go forth and multiply" attitude which also bans all forms of birth control, as well as sex for any purpose other than reproduction.

And in the end, its terrible policy, and will do nothing to reduce actual abortions. Given it only slightly inconveniences those with means, and likely results in an even worse maternal death rates as women are pushed to the point of mortal jeopardy before being provided health care (and if you don't think a large number of the terminations are due to either failures of fetus to develop properly/etc then your living in a larger fantasy) as is happening in TX now. A place where there are actual legislators suggesting that women having abortions should now be given the death penalty.
I've just tried it and I found it useful. Is there a way to cancel a scheduled message?
Yeah, only 650km. So paltry. And if you actually owned an EV, you'd know range isn't an issue, even on road trips. ;)

Maybe you should buy a larger car. The amount of people buying land yachts lately and complaining about the price of gas is strange considering we all saw these prices <15 years ago.
What's wrong with implying potential causation? Correlation is potential causation. The whole reason one says the boyfriend is linked to the murder case is because one isn't saying he's responsible -- and yet he might be.
Today, you may be right, but historically you're wrong.

Take any period in human history before 10,000 years ago and you'd find that nothing ever happened. As old person, the world would look exactly the same as when you were young. Even in modern times, there's centuries with no progress at all.
Ok, maybe to be a little more direct then. You are incorrect, that comment did not violate any of HN's guidelines. Just because you disagree does not make something unthoughtful (as evidence by it not being removed post flag).
> modern SIMD instructions execute at one-per-clock-tick

Or even two, or four on apple arm, plus load and store which can be done in parallel.
Surreptitiously recording someone without their consent when they're engaged in a conversation they otherwise think is private is at best anti-social, but I'd probably go further and argue it's just unethical.

How do I know it'll be strictly for private use? How do I know this person has good op-sec around data? Maybe I'm saying something more candidly verbally because I trust this person that I wouldn't want to be recorded or surfaced later out of context? Especially considering how this kind of thing has been weaponized recently.

If I found out a friend was doing this to me without my consent I'd be pissed and would probably stop interacting with them. That they have to hide it suggests they know it would be poorly received (I'm not sure why they'd even admit to it on this forum).
That's the NIST standard definition for out-of-band authenticators. FTC didn't demand out-of-band authenticators, nor is anyone obligated to comply with NIST.
No absolutely not. 1 hr spent making a schema and a few hours of migrations is way less than the headaches you'll have by going nosql first.
Thanks for your reply dcow, which I won't be able to do justice to,
although I look forward to an email.

Oddly, I am responding to someone in another thread who considers the
digital rights and privacy movement as "insignificant" and a "war
that's lost". At the same time I'm trying to reconcile that with your
being "sick of nutters".

Bruce Schniere was early in pointing out another pendulum swing in
technology, which we already know from the centralisation -
decentralisation cycle, as concerning authoritarian and liberal
swings. Therefore I think what we are seeing is the magnitude of the
genuine backlash against abusive technologies in general. People rally
around the word "privacy" as a (as you say sometimes inappropriate)
totem.

I agree we are in the infancy of this discussion, at least in the
development community. That said, I've read over 40 contemporary books
on the emerging landscape of digital rights, many written by fellow
devs and computer scientists, as well as piles of classical philosophy
around "tech critique", and there is a wealth of wisdom to tap
into. One of the aims of my writing here is to "bring the battle to
Rome", and obviously risk a very harsh audience - although I am
surprised how many kindred, sceptical souls are found here on HN.

A lot of it has nothing to do with "privacy" as an historical
semantic, so I've pushed hard to introduce "digital dignity" as a
(weaker but more useful for it) conceit.

But individual harms are all around us. Just to pluck one extreme one
out of the air - physical violence (indeed murder). I set my students
to watch the Panorama documentary about kids who kill or maim each
other over online gaming. Claims that this is an issue of scale, or
that online games have changed don't ring true to me. This never used
to happen for the simple reason that online anonymity was good thing
in this context. In a game you could suck it up or switch it off. So
in this example, over-connection of virtual to real-life spaces is a
dangerous thing where people cannot maintain psychological sense of
perspective.

A few of the Goodwills in San Francisco are full of company swag and it's kind of bizarre. Like hey, I could buy this Uber-branded Patagonia jacket having never worked there. Also weird in a way to subject less fortunate folks to wear company branded clothing, but I guess they don't have to buy it.

On the other hand, it's also common (and somewhat strange) to see homeless in SF wearing company branded clothing that was donated.
> I don't see why people who adhere to the first interpretation should stop articulating their position.

I think OP's point was that they should articulate their position rather than rely on soundbites, particularly soundbites that can be interpreted in multiple ways.

For instance, 'My Body, My Right' could also be a slogan for allowing very late-term abortions.
Google Cloud Platform Console is really slow for me. Always painful experience to use especially switching products. Wouldn't say that's a good advertisement for Angular
I'd love to hear more about your contact and process for this.
NYC houses something like 95% of its homeless as well, which is why we have a lot less people on the streets than in places like LA or SF.

This is true, and is the most clear example of how immoral the "housing first" policies in California are. It is a pipe dream that creates a horror show of homeless misery on the streets in LA and SF.

The vast majority of the city’s approximately 50,000 homeless people live in shelters — about 30,000 in family shelters, and about 18,000 in shelters for single adults.

You're not thinking in terms of SIMD.

If you load 5 bytes into a 128-bit register (16-bytes) you'll have 5-bytes of data + 11-bytes of garbage.

Perform the calculation over all 16-bytes. Yes, this makes 11-bytes of garbage at the end. Once you're done, just write back the first 5 bytes and you're set.

The 11-bytes of garbage are "free". They didn't cost you anything.

> Getting the data from RAM is the main bottleneck for short strings

Your L1 and L2 cache-lines are 64-byte minimum read / write anyway (actually, some systems were 128-byte minimum IIRC). A 16-byte read is literally smaller than what your cache does on the path into your registers.

EDIT: More importantly, modern CPUs only have 2x or 3x load/store units. Meaning a modern CPU can only perform ~2ish load/stores per clock tick. The SSE (16-byte / 128-bit) read / write to L1 cache will perform the same speed as a 8-byte /64-bit read/write to L1 cache in practice.
More like a low 3:00 time for me these days (to answer OP). Which as you’ve said is mostly a product of a very steady pace. Hopefully only a 3% variance of my cadence over the distance. Pace may change a little based on the gradient. But it’s a pretty consistent power output for 3hrs.

I’m basing my incredibly limited cycling knowledge on listening to my friends talk about their weekend rides. Certainly seems like a lot more variance with power demands for the climbs, slip streaming on the descents, and then the variance from peloton positioning when they’re in the long flat sections along the coast.
Tell HN: How to Start a Business as a Kid
Today the first day of summer vacation. My kids, son and daughter decided to sell water in our front-yard. We bought 32 pack of water for $6.52. They sold each bottle for 50 cents. 20 bottles were sold on the first day, they decided to donate 30% of the revenue. I'm so proud!
I bet your manager and/or peers looked at you like you were a blasphemer. I don’t know how it became normal to want to advertise for an employer. Good for you, I would have done the same.
I am thinking you could flip a switch, which lowers a skirt and runs the fan in reverse : instant hovercraft mode for crossing a river, or even just deep mud. You'd need a steerable outlet jet on the back for propulsion.

Then once on firm ground, flip it and go back to racecar mode.
For many years I believed that better gear would make me a better artist. I learned the hard way that this just ain't so.

I think the same idea applies in this context.
Oh god. A bit over-the-top is putting it mildly. If she won't get help I don't know what you can do. Learn how to communicate and defend yourself better could be a start. Sounds like protecting yourself is the only option unless you can get through to her somehow. If you have any insight into why she feels so strongly about how "bad" you are it could be a start as well. Sorry to hear that, it sounds like a real horror story.
Resource zone affinity is annoying but usually works fine if you have 1 ASG per zone (Azure and afaik GCP are the same way). You mainly need to be careful during initial creation to make sure the volumes are spread out

WaitForFirstConsumer is very helpful, too (you basically guarantee the pod can be scheduled at least once before creating the resources which greatly improves the likelihood it can get rescheduled in the future without getting stuck)

Don't remember seeing any issues on AWS but I've seen Azure CSI take about 7.5 minutes to unmount a volume from 1 and mount to another (so each pod in a statefulset can take around 8-10 minutes)
> I feel two ways about this. You need to give people time to grow into a role and time to get really good at it. But you also need to watch closely and make sure that growth and expertise are occurring, and if not, get better people in.

I found the way you chose to frame this to be a bit disturbing. You framed the employer as a passive watcher of a process where they invest zero and provides zero input, except for the part where they feel entitled to terminate staff for the sole sin of not blossoming greatness in the vast desert of growth that was your creation.

How about this: if what you seek is growth and expertise, why not explicitly nurture that in the environment you create?
Yes, Angular 1 wasn't great and I haven't looked back
Ask HN: Are there any successful tech non-profits?
I'm curious if there are any technology based non-profits that are cater to direct consumers where their primary business is a website/web business. The biggest one I can think of is Wikipedia; they are successful and have a very popular set of websites. Mozilla is another successful non-profit, but its primary business is not a website but a web application (Firefox). I'm not sure if Patreon is a non-profit or community benefit corporation. Do you know any others?
> In the end we all die and take nothing with us, nor do we leave anything behind which will last all that long. If everything is ultimately futile, why make a distinction between one pursuit and another?

This viewpoint is destructive. Your actions affect your future and the futures of the people around you. They are not futile. When someone learns to play the piano, it becomes a tool that can be used in countless applications in a person's life. When you learn to wall jump in Metroid, you learn to wall jump in Metroid and maybe in some other games. The variety of application just isn't there. It's just not comparable.

retroactive legislation is unconstitutional... article 1:

No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S9-C3-2/...

Here's a pdf by the congressional research service discussing the nuances: https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/IF11293.pdf
The article left out one of the most fundamantal topics of databases--clustering of data in storage is everything. Examples:

1. If you store data in rows it's quite fast to insert/update/delete individual rows. Moreover, it's easy to do it concurrently. However reads can be very slow because you read the entire table if you scan a single column. That's why OLAP databases use column storage.

2. If you sort insert data in the table, reading ranges based on the sort key(s) is very fast. On the other hand inserts may spray data over over the entire table, (eventually) forcing writes to all blocks, which is very slow. That's why many OLTP databases use heap (unsorted) row organization.

In small databases you don't notice the differences, but they become dominant as volume increases. I believe this fact alone explains a lot of the proliferation of DBMS types as enterprise datasest have grown larger.

Edit: minor clarification
