Sure but that's always been the case. People with guns at home shoot themselves, their spouses, or are shot with their own gun by burglars, at a rate obviously greater than that of people without guns at home. People with guns at home kill themselves at triple the rate of normal people.
Japan is probably an outliar in that respect. They may never integrate but does not necessarily mean they are totally unliveable without language proficiency.

Most road signs are accompanied by English, as with most of government documents. While people's reaction to non-Japanese speaking people may vary, many will try their best English to help you out.

To be honest it is difficult even with Japanese language skills for "foreigners" to fully integrate in Japanese society. It is not necessarily a bad thing as you can live without putting up with many of social expectations as Japanese.
The country's language isn't just French though. Yes, the province is French and I'm all for protecting the French language, but this particular law is pure pandering to the massive quebecois nationalist wing.

Your argument does not even make sense, considering that Québec managed to translate and provide services in English to those who need it for decades now. That law has just been passed so it's actually going to require more effort to suddenly put in place a policy that actively discriminates against immigrants than to just do nothing. Remember, this is not going to apply for "native" English quebecers or anglo-canadians. How is that more efficient, and how isn't that blatantly xenophobic?

Also, the irony here is that the RoC has to basically keep providing (or at least pretend to keep) services in both languages, and I as a French speaker can request services in French even in a completely anglo region of say, ontario and I'd be legally entitled to do so. At a federal and provincial level. But Québec should be allowed to blatantly refuse government services because we don't feel like it anymore?

We are trying to get our cake and eat it too here.

And it's not like this policy is even going to do anything. The key to preserve the language is to make sure the children are taught French, not force some poor middle aged immigrant parents to avoid interacting with their government because they can't learn a foreign language in 6 month. Again, this entire thing is pure pandering
And where do you think black markets source their wares?
Bug. Incompetence. It looks like they put a giant spreadsheet with all the PII into Tableau and then embedded a web view to serve a geo visualization of some of the columns. Except they made the full underlying table accessible by anyone in Tableau.
Now I'm curious what is better than glass? Aside from weight, it seems like an almost ideal material.
On one hand, I think the problem space of the leetcode interviews is helpful, yeah. At that scale, implementing an exponential-time solution where a logarithmic-time solution would work can be costly. Knowing how to optimize the kernel and application call chains to get every ounce out of your resources instead of scaling out endlessly is also helpful, since at this scale scaling out would be incredibly expensive and likely limited by physical space.

On the other hand, a lot of these problems are solved at the FAANGs. For example, at Google, if you need a database that can span to petabytes of data with sub-second queries, you use Dremel and call it a day. If you need a super-fast library for sorting maps, there are probably handfuls of libraries to choose from. So there isn't a guarantee that you'll work on a team that requires this amount of knowledge.

That said, making interviews super difficult and all-encompassing upfront should make lateral transfers really easy, since theoretically you're capable of doing anything.
Straw purchases are already illegal. There is no regulation that can actually stop it.
That's what I am discussing. And I'm saying that literally millions of people are waiting to adopt. Pretty sure most of them would be more than happy to pay $5k for the birth. If not, adoption agencies should be obliged to cover it.

I'm sure you don't think that it's acceptable that women would kill their unborn children because they can't afford the cost of birth?
The idea is that you treat the earth's atmosphere as a resonant tank, pumped by the coil at the tower. The inverse square law doesn't apply here.

The real practical problem is that if such a system were scaled up, any metal object anywhere on earth with sharp edges would become a fire hazard due to sparking. Long pieces of wire would become similarly hazardous and radio communications probably would be much noisier and more difficult. Also there are economic challenges as you can't really bill specific customers.
I would never work on a team full of people who got their jobs solving riddles. If someone wants to see more than my Github profile or a solution to a real problem they're actually facing, they're not my people.
Not sure why there's a mystique over the "dark web", they're all still just websites, and suffer the same types of vulnerabilities.
I suspect that this actually explains a lot of Mozilla's decision making that seems utterly disconnected from their userbase. They don't seem to realize that compared to Chrome, their userbase is disproportionately tech savvy enough to reject telemetry. They talk about the importance of privacy and security and whatnot, but then make all their decisions based around the behavior of the people that don't care about their privacy.
Last time I used Fennec, it had the same extension whitelist as Firefox. Did that change?
This seems like a reason to dislike all databases that hold this kind of information. These days, your personal info is at the mercy of your bank, your ISP, and a number of other entities who could leak data at any time just by being slightly complacent with security.

It's not like the old days where an attacker would have to haul tons of paper around and go through it manually.
Instead of the abused, try become the abuser.

Maybe it’s better not to play that game at all.

Maybe it’s totally fine for people to just do their job to earn some money to sustain oneself and focus on other topics that they like.
They are all problems!
To give consumers the illusion of choice. If an aggravated customer cancels their service with Shell Company A to switch to Shell Company B, the corporation that owns them both still has that customer.
It also enables the relatively easy cross compare with dealer record of sales (DROS) to know what the owners may have.

This isn't good.
See my comment under the sibling comment.
State actors can design societies with lots of different clusters. It's all in the simulator you design. And a large actor could easily require that its humans engage with members of this society to connect them with humanity.
Actually I think debugging is fundamentally much harder in a lazy language. A line by line debugger would be nice to see but it would jump around all the time when it's evaluating stuff which I don't think would make for a very nice debugging experience.

Judging by the amount the kids actually learn, doing things the right way is an equal waste of time to just watching the plays on VHS.

> learn the structure of modern drama

IMO, far too few English teachers focus on this aspect of the Bard's plays. Instead, it's nonsense about iambic pentameter or treating R&J as romance instead of farce, black comedy, or tragedy that turns students into STEMlords.

Show HN: Flookup – Data cleaning by fuzzy matching
Hello HN!

It has been about three years since I launched this current iteration of my Google Sheets add-on called Flookup.

I'm a solo developer and, currently, I handle absolutely everything to do with Flookup from writing code, replying support emails and even marketing. It is a lot of work but very satisfying because I get to see, first hand, how helpful it has been to my userbase.

Before Flookup was launched, there was only one prominent Google Sheets add-on that could be used for data cleaning (to a certain degree) but, luckily for me, that add-on had left a gap in functionality that I was very glad to fill.

To develop Flookup, I had to write a new algorithm from the ground up in order to make it actually useful to my userbase. Originally, this userbase comprised me and a small team in an organisation I was working at. Today, that number has grown to at least 10,000 Daily Active Users from every corner of the world (except Antarctica).

What is Flookup? It is an add-on that uses fuzzy matching algorithms to power its data cleaning functions. Flookup's functions allow you to match or merge datasets without worrying about how uniform your data is. You can also highlight and remove duplicates even if the text contains typos, punctuation marks or spelling differences.

So, today, I'm inviting you to try it out and let me know what you think... here is the link:

Thank you for your time and I hope you like it!

Why should you be worried about large bills if you are working at a big company?

This whole Tell HN is about personal projects where costs matter, the startup tangent here is just a jab at people underestimating the raw processing power of modern hardware.

Big corps can do what big corps do with their big corp money. 200 user startups don't necessarily have hate kind of money but pretend they will be big corp very soon and thus need to spend big corp money.
I'm similar to you. I'm worried that if I don't leave soon I may get rounded up post 2024. Others may be willing to take a chance, I'm not.
How about PT :-)
Haskell is easy to hire for.

I worked for a Haskell consultancy for 7 years and did hiring interviews. We filled open roles extremely quickly; the biggest problem was to decide which of the multiple high-quality applicants to pick.

I am now running my own startup and we just put out an internship job description [1].

Within 1 day we got over 20 excellent applications, and we'll probably have space for only 1 for now.

Maybe if you want to hire 100 Haskellers on the spot, you'll find hiring difficult. But most starting businesses don't have that problem.

I guess it’s fine if the company doesn’t ask the candidate any questions either, right? After all they have the resume to look at.
Also given how political the process of getting a CCW permit is in California (i.e. if you're not in a county with a sheriff willing to give a permit to everyone you either need to be rich or have connections) a disproportionate amount of cops, jail guards, celebrities, and wealthy businessmen (along with their home addresses) are going to be on that list.

Chrome has any addons on mobile?
No, this was no accident. California has been leveraging gun regulations as a foil to anti-abortion movements elsewhere in the country, including discussions of dissemination of lists of abortion recipients, providers, and facilitators for targeting by bounty hunters.

Now we have an accidentally-disseminated list of gun owners. "Oops," indeed. Turnabout is fair play?
As has been stated elsewhere, straw purchases are probably a major source. Smuggling is possible too. I couldn't say how these compare to theft, because I've never seen any solid data on the topic.
Or you can just use Kiwi browser, which supports full Chrome extensions.
that's comforting to know.
If you want to know, it's pretty easy to tell whether a household has guns, so not sure this is such a big leak. Sure it's incompetence, but big picture, probably doesn't change anything.

It's a riff on a quote from the game.
Title 18 Code 1030 says it is illegal to commit computer fraud but it is not a responsibility of your service provider to eat/pay for fraud committed against you.

Your only legal recourse under Title 18 Code 1030 is against the "violator". Amazon did not violate your computer systems and commit these offenses.

> Any person who suffers damage or loss by reason of a violation of this section may maintain a civil action against the violator to obtain compensatory damages and injunctive relief or other equitable relief.

On that basis, your contract stipulates who is responsible for fees associated with use of your AWS key by "any other third party".

> You are responsible for all applicable fees associated with use of the Services in connection with IAM, including fees incurred as a result of any User Credentials. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy and security of the User Credentials (other than any key that we expressly permit you to use publicly). You are solely responsible, and we have no liability, for any activities that occur under the User Credentials, regardless of whether such activities are undertaken by you, your employees, agents, subcontractors or customers, or any other third party. You are responsible for the creation, distribution, and security (including enabling of access) of all User Credentials created under your AWS account, including credentials that you have used IAM to create or disclose to other parties.
It's just a university press release. They exist to wildly overhype every mildly interesting project in hopes of getting attention and support for the institution in question.

The article just says that the information is private, without backing up that statement. These permits are public records in California.
They shouldn't be promoting any news source over another. A true unbiased news aggregator should spit out articles like a bingo cage. Once you rank sources, or include opinion masquerading as news, it's manipulation of the media. When you deliberately bury all sources you disagree with, you are de facto creating an echo chamber. It's enraging that they tried to pass themselves off as unbiased with the vague statement about the ordering of the articles being "chosen by a computer program"; I noticed that statement no longer appears.
Where would I learn how to set this up, this 'basic sysadmin stuff'?
The theory is that you make "electro fuels" compatible with existing ICE vehicles. The idea is that if the costs of solar keep decreasing and the costs to extract and refine oil keep increasing, you hit an inflection point where this is economically feasible and as a byproduct possibly save the planet.

Here's an example startup https://terraformindustries.com/
Says something https://iowaeye.tripod.com/ about that
iOS is a closed platform owned by Apple so I think they can do whatever they want in their platform, including ban other browsers for whatever reason they want to.

And this is not different from Google creeping their services in other browsers, Microsoft imposing limits on Windows or any other company doing whatever they want with their products.
> To be honest I don't really understand the sentiment that developers can get away with not knowing basic sysadmin stuff and at the same time have to spend relevant amounts of time, energy and money to get up to speed with cloud solutions, k8s and so on.

Agreed. I hear some saying it's nice to deploy on a lambda because you don't need to know anything about the runtime environment. But it's never quite true. As you say, you do have to become an expert in all the intricacies of these proprietary deployment environments to get the best out of it and avoid getting burned. So an amount of effort has to be spent, anyway.

But the drawback is that now you spend this effort on learning what is after all a proprietary product of AWS. While AWS is massively popular, the knowledge doesn't translate to anywhere else so it locks you in. If you spent similar time learning the basics of Linux deployment and administration, your knowledge is lower level and more general.

But where it really gets you is when things go wrong and you need to dig deep to diagnose. Can I attach a debugger or watch socket traffic or run bpftrace or do any kind of diagnostics at all on that lambda instance? Oh sorry no, good luck.

Unless your budget is so low you can't afford a $5 VPS and your traffic is so low that your lambda bill will never reach $5, you're really better off deploying on a VPS that you control and can debug. Keep it simple.
Oh, well! I think I agree with everything you've said here.
Straw purchases... when someone else purchases a gun for you. Illegal in every state, and federally.

Please search the FBI and ATF online data for people arrested and or convicted of straw purchases.

Then tell me how serious they are about stopping it.

It's not a question of agreement or disagreement, the comment is just unrelated ragebait.

Starting a db on a web-server and running apt update/upgrade are fundamental parts of working on the web.

You are assuming that there's no labour required to care for the robots, when in practise, the labour it takes to care for robots and adapt processes around them is often more expensive than that to do the job to begin with.
> Moreover, the serverless stuff is considerably easier to configure and operate than a VM.

Yep - and to be 100% candid on my current project I'm running 100% with GCP Functions, AppEngine Task Queues, and Firestore for persistence. I'm also AWS certified and have worked as a DevOps engineer in a PCI-regulated environment leveraging things like DyanmoDB, Lambda, etc.

Cool part about running that way is my current billing is near zilch. Woo! Totally on-board with what you're saying... literally living it now =)

I'm just saying that there's a ton of ways to skin a cat. And, personally I wouldn't paint with as large of a brush to say "serverless stuff is considerably easier to configure and operate than a VM." A lot of times this rings true, but I anecdotally wouldn't say it is always the case.

I'm being pedantic, but I'm also trying to make a case that not always do cloud design patterns/"best-practices" make sense.
