> Most of the public cares about climate change and wants the government to do something

Most of the public cares about climate change and wants the government to do something so long as it doesn't cost them anything (Or more precisely, more than 10 $/mo)[0]. Or you can just see the consternation about gas prices right now to predict how well any climate change related regulation that actually materially affected carbon production would go.

Why not? Because it sounds sh*t and requires wearing a collar.

A decent dynamic mic on a boom and a bit of compression will approach broadcast quality sound and can be done using affordable commodity parts (that will hold their value at resale if selected wiesely)

Arguably a good mic setup adds credibility to the speaker. Partly because they sound clearer and more professional, and part because it looks like a professional pod/broadcast setup.
Anyone who has lived with rural internet will be blown away by 90MB. This is an incredibly high bar.
>Probably a reaction 'what they do in the bedroom' being made literally illegal for a long period of time.

This can be used to justify anything. Muslims and Jews used to be persecuted in catholic spain for a very long time since the 1400s, should muslims make periodic month-long parades where they play the quran loudly and cosplay as 14th century muslim warriors ? should Spain be forced to host them ?

"I was harmed in the past" is suspiciously similar to what a lot of abusers and opportunistic psychopaths say to justify their actions and get their way.

>with the expected goal being to ward off further persecution in the future.

How does that work ? Some people despise your existence, so you... shove your existence in their faces and in their streets even more ? To what end ? own them ? stick your tongue out ? rub your legal or social victory in their face ? This is just plain revenge, you can just call it "owning the haters", no need to add any kind of moral decorations on top that isn't there.

This would make you more honest, and also open your eyes to some effects you're not currently seeing with the overly moralistic framework, such as that the "owning" might be overly broad and end up making people who previously had no problem with the group in question gradually resent it more and more as it intrude further into their life year after year.

Regardless of its purpose or morality, is this strategy even successful ? was it used in the past by any minority that successfully evaded the majority's wrath because of it ? if anything, majorities hate proud minorities even more. Is there any coherent defense of it that lays out how exactly is obnoxiously marching in the streets supposed to make people accept you more than they currently do ?
I think in the last six months there has been a state of flux and hiring has been on hold in some firms.

General advice is that if you are not getting interviews then you need to debug your resume.
Being a programmer only implies one thing. That the person is a programmer. It has 0 correlation with other skills or thoughts. I used to be disappointed by this too, but people are multifaceted and being able to make a computer do something useful isn't correlated with being able to understand politics, be good at playing an instrument, etc. The people who are good at multiple things (or knowledgeable about multiple topics) are that way because they put in the work, just like they did for programming.
How can consistency possibly be a "red herring" when talking about judicial decisions?
The receiver doesn't seem to be easily portable, say on a backpacking trip or something. Perhaps that will change in the future though.
HSI's mission is to investigate, disrupt and dismantle terrorist, transnational and other criminal organizations that threaten or seek to exploit the customs and immigration laws of the United States.

This isn’t the deportation agency, it’s the investigative arm of the DHS (and that they hate the deportation agency & confusion between the two is putting it lightly).
> The numbers and dates provided in this article, which are not really possible to actually know, are at odds with hash rate data which is easy to observe.

Not necessarily. The lower BTC and ETH prices would pressure miners to clamp down even further on energy expenditure per hash, pushing energy use down even as hashrates hover around ATHs. You'd think miners were already minimizing energy per hash, but during a boom cycle it's arguably easier to get away with a bit more inefficiency than in a bust cycle.
Definition of insanity is attempting the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. This is what Bitcoin spot ETF proponents will just not admit. There's zero chance spot prices of bitcoin which have been irrefutably proven to be prone to manipulation.

They are desperate to pump Bitcoin prices its frankly comical.
Its a feature rich language with a more-complex syntax then many languages and a community that is still discovering its best practices, critical libraries, and more.

Its a difficult language to learn full-stop. And its a language that can be used to produce valuable software, but probably should not be the first choice for many applications at most organizations.
the history of this type of speculation and others like it, that leaves many bust, was documented in Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds published in 1841

True, but I've got a pickup :)
>but rather sharing that there are people different than the majority/perceived default

In other words, sharing what they do in their bedrooms.
Totally concur. I have been using a generic/cheap "USB Conference Boundary Microphone" from Amazon for a few years, and the results are excellent.

The thing is chucked away under my monitor, about 2-3 feet away, and yet the sound quality is about the same as what I get with my semi-pro boom mike. My (clicky mechanical) keyboard is also about 6: from the unit, and I have had no issues with typing sounds. The only downside is that the mike does not have any control buttons.

For use in a group setting in a conference room, I use the Anker Powerconf Bluetooth speakerphone, which does a fine job.
I think "private and secure" mean two different things here. It may be private and secure from malicious actors trying to steal your ID, but it's probably not private or secure when government decides it needs to coerce you into doing something you don't want to do.

Option 2 is more convenient, but at what cost? I would think the probabilities of the cost being high is proportional to the probability that government will have corruption and abuse the system, which seems high in history and even today in many countries.
Not every regulatory action requires congressional affirmation.

Congress is allowed to delegate their legislative authority to a third party, but it must do so through an intelligible clause. This clause states a clear objective function to the agency.

The issue is when agencies make laws that are unrelated to, in conflict with, or do not clearly achieve the goals of the intelligible clause because those are laws that the agency is not empowered to create.
No evidence supports the internet causing hyper partisanship or no evidence supports hyper partisanship infecting the Supreme Court?
It's really strange to me that Russia is still being pushed as a threat to Europe. Like I assume that I'm just ignorant, but Russia seems to be really struggling. How could they possibly attack Europe in a way that the u.s. Army needs special tactics to counter them?
If they also made you do all the calculations the program would, by hand, and record the output, then penalized you if you made any errors on that... it'd be math class.
In my case, the answer is "It depends."

A lot of it depends upon who the "solo entrepreneur" is.

For example, there's a certain foulmouthed Finnish engineer, that has had a couple of "out of the ballpark" hits, that, when he first developed them, were pretty much "solo."
^100%

The business of telling people you are doing agile wrong.
No it’s not.

Unless you grow, raise, or hunt all your food under your own physical power, eating isn't carbon neutral either. And doing that isn't scalable anyways.

We are going to build no matter what, just like we are going to eat. It's pointless to argue that nothing is carbon neutral when some ways of living have significantly lower carbon intensity than others.

Therefore it makes sense (assuming one takes climate change seriously) to go about our lives in the least carbon intensive ways that are possible for us economically.

So for someone who it works for practically, an EV can result in much lower lifetime CO2 emissions than an ICE, and using cork or similarly low CO2 insulation can result in lower lifetime CO2 than using fiberglass.
Their code were awful about 30 years before that.
why doesn't the physical substrate of computers count as a body? It exists physically and interacts with the rest of the world (I/O). Is it just that it isn't self-mobile, or something else?
> for authentication (there is a public api available IIRC)

If it's anything like what Estonia has had for ~10 years, it's probably the usual mTLS for authentication.

You can also very likely use it anything that has smart card/PKCS#11 support - that includes SSH, logging in to your PC, and depending on the certificate S/MIME in Thunderbird or Outlook.

Curious choice.
Uhh, yeah, but this is the Supreme Court who, if you look at the rest of this thread, people are claiming is "non partisan"

So if the supreme court is doing it then they're partisan QED

Also, please, one side is doing much more voter suppression than the other

If Microsoft/Github ever made that argument, that also means that when Copilot is using GPL software as input, the output can only be released under the GPL.

How do you know that?
"Clear delegation" is the key phrase, there. The Court rejects the idea that Congress can create broad grants of authority and instead propounds the idea that it has to explicitly authorize every potential scenario.
nice rebuttal - but the "profitable and stable flower industry" is the trade of an underlying commodity with utility value i.e. the flowers. there is no such underlying asset with crypto. the part that is parallel is the rife speculation that left many bust.
No url!
The physical inputs to bitcoin are decentralized and robust against disruption. You don't need to be a miner yourself to store or transact.

> You need fiat to buy energy.

This is a circular argument and not true. You can buy energy today with gold or bitcoin.

Coinbase's service is a paid service, which uses analytics to distill that information for LE. So, while true that the "information" is publicly available, the signal-to-noise ratio is abysmal, and Coinbase offers a valuable service that LE would otherwise have to implement themselves.

Ergo, Coinbase is effectively in the "police and surveillance technologies" space while they operate this service.
Stand up and kickoff meeting have been a waste of time everywhere I've worked. Responsive async communication would be much better. IIRC, there was a specific case where helpful, but was lost when it went mainstream.

They have to deliver that in specific areas by 2028 not nationwide today.

Assuming they avoided bidding on areas their network is currently contested they might already meet their obligations.
I'll try and read into your low-effort dismissal here a critique of my singling out the CDC and explain further:

The CDC is a relatively unique case of an institution that was really gutted by a mistake decades ago (the swine flu vaccine in the late 70s [0]) and then got some pretty bad Trump-nominated leadership [1] [2]). Elections matter, it turns out.

Well, as a someone who barely spoke English, with a Computer Engineering degree, from a so called 3rd world continent (not Asia), with prior work experience in Software Development, who 3 years landed a job in Europe, my advice is:

- Don’t expect any company to just hand you a job
- Grind the fuck out. This shit ain’t EASY.

Peace brother.
Interesting. One could say that fungi facilitates cooperation between plants, and cooperation between humans. One through ethanol consumption and the other through mycelium.
Option 1: one guy gets to see all of your ID data, but most likely won't keep a record of it and will forget all he saw within 10 seconds.

Option 2: the same guy has no idea who you are. Instead: your ID gets scanned, the scan hits a government server for verification. A record is now kept forever of where you went, when and with whom and this information is added to create a profile of you (and your friends/partners). They can know if you were cheating on your partner, whether you where dating, if you went out "with the boys" that night, what political flavor the people you party with prefer, and so on and so forth.
100's of people and algorithms can access these records in the future in secret, including: the NSA (even if you're European, all secret service data is shared with the NSA), local secret services, the police if they want access, the tax-man, any future dictator(s) that rises up and his subordinates, same for others in other countries that are friendly to him, anybody in politics interested in you for whatever reason that may develop in the future when data access rules get weaker (or remain unpoliced), and so on and so forth. Furthermore, if for whatever reason your political preference becomes unwanted in the future, you can fully automatically be banned from public life at the press of a button with 100% efficiency (this already happens in countries such as China as we speak, Canada CAN'T WAIT to have such a system as well).

I pick option 1.

It blows my mind that people don't see where this is going after Snowden.
Hey HN, Alex and Ben here, and we wanted to share a simple web app we created recently.

UI Filler is a quick way to get placeholders for your designs.

We do a lot of UI design and development and frequently need to fill it with placeholder content. I usually just Google “Lorem ipsum” and end up on a site about the history of lorem ipsum, then copy and paste some small chunk of it to fill the field I need. Ben, who is even more design-oriented than I am, tries to make up appropriate text to fill fields (my favorite thing he does is placeholder names, like “Anita McLaren”). We decided to make a tool that would save us a bit of time every time we needed a placeholder, so we built UIFiller.

Let me know what you think!
I am a libertarian, and if you're familiar with my postings, I have made many environment protecting proposals that would be much more effective than the current ones. Also for improving other facets of our lives, like wages.

I know there are many libertarians who give the philosophy a bad name.

If you have something specific you'd like to ask about it, I'll try to give a good answer.
lol. You forgot to weight by wealth.

Regular economics uses the same dirty trick when it talks about value creation rather than wealth-weighted value creation. It stuffs all its dirty laundry in that one weight term and then "forgets" to talk about it. Oops!
this is a pithy phrase with about as much logic as "Live, Laugh, Love"
If six justices on the Supreme Court call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?

Four. A tail is a tail, regardless of what you call it.

Congress intended to grant the EPA broad authority to regulate pollution, but the SCOTUS said that that's invalid.
Are all the other languages fairly mainstream ones? Most procedural/OOP languages are similar enough that if you’ve learnt one you’ve basically learnt them all. Rust is a just a bit different and requires actually learning something new.

For 90% of people I think the main hurdle is realising this.
My experience, lately (the last ~2 months) is that Starlink is oversold. I switch to my backup LTE connection during prime time evening hours in order to stream anything at a reasonable clip. Perhaps it is my base station that's overwhelmed, but I'm not that impressed anymore.
Thanks, this seems to be my experience prior to the past 6 months. The current flux is the reason I'm asking now, worried I'm not going to be able to find anything for an extended time now.
Free trade results in most production moving to its most inexpensive location. That's the whole point.

Then when bad things happen in that location, you lose that production. The result is that you can't get what you need at any price.

And knowing that, you'd take the guard rails off? Crazy.
Sure, they have. So, they certainly can. The question for Atlassian is how fast.

20-30% doesn't get you to a justification for Atlassian's peak value. It doesn't inspire "the next Microsoft" vibes.

Maybe after 10-15 years of growth at this rate, it would... but the market's not paying these prices for that.

Atlassian becomes an acquisition target if stock prices reflect a 20% rate of growth.
Not dsiddharth, but for what it's worth I am using Hathora for my upcoming game (it's almost complete!). Their product still very new, but they have been extremely helpful with every step of the process building with Hathora.

They have two products - an open-source dev framework (free) and a cloud-hosting product (paid).

My games will likely never reach millions players, but my first two games led to over 1,000 sign-ups and I've made over $1k in revenue (which I'm super proud of). I can report back with how my newest game does after it launches.

Life lesson right there.

Pressumably the article works under the same premise like what the tile promises: (sometimes) less is more. But "sometimes" was redacted in spirit of the article. I'm notbsure if that's intentionally a form of sarcasm, which is the good kind of sarcasm if it doesn't need to be marked to be recognizable.
Yes I agree, I think its a universal human quality.

And I think we should start talking about abortion directly, not through 50 layers of legaleze.

The only way a pro-lifer on HN can express their opinion is indirectly, through technical criticism.

But why can't they express their pro life opinion directly? Because people will disagree with them? The only thing people do on HN is disagree.

This is the issue that needs exploring, not the intricacies of judicial logic.
> Have you seen how hard it is to pass a contentious law these days?

So what? Not the SC's problem.

> Most people can agree about its merits but it's naive to act as if special interests haven't manufactured the contention and captured the regulatory and legislative processes.

So if special interests have captured the regulatory body, how is letting them keep (or gain) their unelected power any better?

> We don't have the luxury of proceduralism any more.

I can use the same argument about any topic we disagree about. Do you not see the problem with this line of thinking?
yeah just from a bottom line perspective this seems valid, think the article says it was $29,000 for the software? doesn't seem too high
It's not just that. The job of the companies is to make the most money using the legally available means, and the job of the government is to create regulation that makes "good" behavior profitable and imposes heavy penalties for disruptive things.

Except the government got addicted to printing money and throwing it around to boost GDP (and taxes) through bullshit business models and bullshit investments. They literally created framework where being an overstaffed money-bleeding behemoth creates higher returns for the shareholders than being a lean-and-mean niche business.

All things considered this one is pretty good too...

Mission first

Our mission is ambitious and important. We don’t engage in social or political activism that is unrelated to our mission while at work. We seek to make the workplace a refuge from division, so we can stay focused on making progress toward the mission.

...or...

Customer focus

We are deeply focused on solving our customers' problems with technology, by enabling them to acquire, store and use crypto. We strive to be the easiest to use, most trusted and most secure platform. In every decision we make, we ask, "How does this create more value for our customers?"
