Yeah, I agree. What the parent said is akin to saying they could have donated an extra $10 million by taking it out of their R&D budget. If they thought they could cut an extra $10 million in costs somewhere, they would. That's business. Whether they would donate that or not is a separate matter.

Yep, I’ve had (mirrored) Canon DSLRs and lenses for 20+ years (since the original D30) and just this past week sold the entire system. I hadn’t picked it up since I got the mirrorless R5 a couple of years ago.
Reverse engineering APIs tends to be surprisingly trivial, even for binary or otherwise non-standard protocols. The content served by them is the only real challenge.

Long exposure and video are an issue. One Nikon solved with second gen mirroless bodies which can be charged while on through usb-c and second gen battery handles that can do the same. Other than that, battery swaps are fast enough.
I kinda love this comment. It highlights the absurd dichotomy between what "experts" see and what "lay people" see when they look at the same thing.

Parent just wants to see some cool images from Earth's latest and greatest space telescope, preferably in a convenient way.

Astrophysicists from NASA, ESA, et al. are hanging off the data and details from every last photon collected - each one having traveled billions of years from their origin deep in the past of our universe.

With every point of light in the images, the instruments on Webb and associated computer analysis here on earth analyze each facet of the spectra, inferring the chemical composition of galaxies we may have never even seen before as a species - calculating how much spacetime expanded in the long and lonely journey of those photons hurtling through our universe for billions of years, path bent by warping gravity fields, colliding and remitting from galactic dust to finally arrive at a superchilled mirror segment more than a million miles from earth.

But hey, can we just get a scrollable feed of these in a web-optimized image format?

[ edit: I guess it wasn't clear -- I genuinely love the question. I'm not being sarcastic. YES obviously people want to look at the images and get excited from press release - YES obviously scientists are using a different data stream and not the press release site. What's really cool is that the same origin (12.5 hours of observing a tiny spec of sky) can be used for both. And genuinely the absurd dichotomy is funny, and cool. I guess there's so much sneering elitism on HN that it's easy to get lumped into the same boat. ]

I didn't think Bitcoin was a bubble 5 years ago. The only people I knew using it were using it to buy drugs, and the price seemed to reflect that utility plus the novelty of its implementation. That real estate agent probably did quite well for herself, even at current prices.
Yeah, I can see the argument for that, sure. I still think the premium you pay for total bleeding edge might not be worth it, though. Plus a lot of the premium you pay for is not for added durability (maybe some added durability up to an extent, then after that it's mostly speed/power/memory/etc). The rest of the computer will still wear out in about the same time as other laptops, regardless of how great the tech is inside.

Macbooks tend to last quite a long time (I'm still using an early 2015 Macbook Pro, for example, and there's still nothing wrong with the hardware except maybe the fans are running more than they used to, most likely because I need to replace the heatsink thermal paste, it's probably worn down a lot) so paying a higher premium on those I can see being worth it, but I've had terrible luck with Windows laptops, with the most recent one having the plastic around the display break apart on me after only a few years being only one of many things happen to it, and that was a somewhat premium model (a gaming laptop, at least), so I'm hesitant to pay too much of a premium for Windows laptops.
That's because everyone of those entity's also absorb the down stream costs so when they need to pay the full cost for "cheap" oil it ain't worth it
The move to Peterson AFB was not a security measure, but a cost saving measure by the USAF & GAO. Lot of concerns were posted about the same by few Congressman.

https://armedservices.house.gov/2008/7/skelton-and-hunter-ex...

Plus, THAAD is meant to speed up ABM capabilities over time. Going by experience following this area, one of the reasons why you don't hear much about it is probably because USAF is pretty serious to keep the specifics under cover as long as possible.
The best communicators I've worked with have generally been scientists, especially physicists. Many MBAs seem to communicate in platitudes and vague business jargon that makes simple concepts sound complicated. This is obvious when you start probing for specifics after terms like "value add" or "synergy" are thrown around.

From the analysis I've seen, I understand the white-appearing objects at the center of the image are the galaxies that compose that galaxy cluster. The very red and deformed galaxies around them are much further away but made visible due to the gravitational lensing.
Would you say the same if he were associated with a different organization that allegedly hurt people? Like, say, the Yakuza? And possibly provided political cover for them?

I would think most people would not be very sympathetic to his death if he were. This is a sliding scale, that depends on what the organization in question is. A knitting club? A gang? A weird cult that sometimes acts like a gang?

I don't know enough about this group, but if it's behaviour is much like scientology, it's closer to being a gang than a knitting club.

Superficially, I'd probably place it closer to something like Amway, which I wouldn't classify as a gang, but would definitely classify as a criminal conspiracy (with a cult element) that has co-opted the political establishment that was supposed to shut it down.

None of that applies to the suckers who bought DOCK based on market manipulation, which is generally a crime. [1] This is more equivalent to Three-card Monte, [2] which may look like a fair game involving cards, but which also preys on the would-be smart.

I guess unofficial APIs through reverse engineering are the closest you can get to what the article proposes. But, as other comments point to, data is still data and access to it is highly restricted, or is vast enough to not making it worthwile (imagine downloading Google's backend).
Again how does that invalidate the utility of blockchain?

Protip: don't FOMO into anything as you will always be a bag holder.

That's about the jist of your response and has nothing to do with the utility of blockchain
Over what time horizon? You should optimize short term metrics (for feasibility) that are (as best you can approximate) the cause of long term profits. The profits part is what makes it the business, using metrics for decisions are what makes it an A/B test. I think where people run into trouble is when they are optimizing only for this quarter’s revenue directly because long term value is too hard to measure.
Yes, that was the theory as I understood it at the time. As a single man in my late 20s with a remote job, I moved to the most densely populated neighborhood of the largest city in the region, bought a bicycle and a transit pass, and signed up for a car-sharing service, expecting car-free life to be easy. Instead, I found that it was... possible.

I got through a full year before giving up and buying another car. I have never been motivated to repeat the experience, though I still love city life and try to keep car usage to a minimum, getting around primarily by motorcycle.
Every couple of years, this item comes bye. I hope all the new timers here enjoy it this time around ;-)
the dysfunctional behaviour online is that of the 2020s, not the 1990s

the draconian legislation attempts we're seen now are the govt's weaponisation of 2020s dysfunctional behaviour to shut down the free internet wholesale and substitute it with a heavily surveilled and censored alternative that actually benefits from the child-like narcissism of the 2020s

> If all jobs on the market are seen as being equally fair, you're not being exploited

That’s one interpretation of the data. Another would be that a lack of worker power is preventing wage increases. How does your interpretation of the data handle the fact that people on the capital side of the economy - i.e. uber ceos and shareholders - are getting rich off all those $10 hour jobs? There is clearly lots of money in the system… it’s just not going to the workers

Video "channels" should be like podcasts: hosting and discovery largely separate. Subscription, client-side.

Ask HN: How do you keep code reviews from taking forever?
Code review is important, but I find it's often a momentum-killer. A few things can happen after you open a PR:

* Nobody reviews it for days because everyone is busy working on their own stuff. This is likely because code review isn't as rewarded as pushing code ("I implemented X" sounds better in a standup than "I reviewed a bunch of PRs yesterday").

* You end up in an endless back and forth with one or more reviewers (e.g. push-review-fix-push-review-fix-push-review...). If this occurs over the course of days, the "fix" portion becomes an interruption where you have to remember the context of the changes, make the changes, then submit them.

These are the two instances I can think of off the top of my head, but if you have other examples and strategies for combating them, I'd love to hear them.

Aren't, e.g., the Z6 and D780 and the D850 and Z7 using the same sensor? There arw differences between the two technologies, better noise performance is purely driven be the sensor, not the presence or absence of a mirror.
I generally disagree about the "pay to join" issue, but the thing you're right about is no viral/global messaging. That's the thing that really turns social networks into garbage. The problem being, though, that under late capitalism, that's what a large number of people really want out of them — to build a personal brand and social capital that can be converted into financial capital.
I'm glad this tutorial popped up, I just started going through The Book over the weekend and I've been doing that and some of the Rustlings exercises.

The guy in the 13th photo just looks wrong somehow, like a CGI person down in the uncanny valley.
> In that specific case, the inherent impl is preferred, so there’s no ambiguity.

That is even worse. It means your code can silently start doing the wrong thing rather than erroring, if the inherent impl does something different from the trait.

> And yes, there are tons of things that can subtly break code.

This isn't some obscure bug in some deep edge case though, it's a completely normal and common way of using the language (implementing your own traits on foreign types) predictably leading to breakage in an obvious way. I am not sure why it should be called "subtle".

Anyway, given this issue, I think the meme that Rust is backwards-compatible is really oversold. It'd be more honest to frame it as "we hope releases are backwards-compatible, but we like adding new functions to the stdlib, so no promises" rather than marketing BC as a major selling point as is done now.

> In practice, the experience that the vast majority of users report to us is that they do not experience breakage when upgrading the compiler.

It's anecdotal for sure, but I'm personally aware of times when the exact situation I'm describing has happened and caused headaches for people.
But increasing throughput. Given how shitty US public transport is in general, maybe that's the right tradeoff. New York is one of the best, but still shitty by EU standards.
A QR code by itself is completely unreadable to a human. Can't this have the SSID / password too? All too often you see what should be simple textual data wrapped in this obtuse form which only specific machines can read. Text and a QR code can be read by everyone.

Not sure how it was when your first signed up, but right now these extra stuff comes with the paid subscription. You can't buy just the email service and you can't use even the basic features like emailing an external domain on a free mailbox.org account. Their Web interface has all these features so I'm not sure how you'd miss them...
Sure, but there’s competition in the subscription car space, just because you make one doesn’t mean it will sell. Businesses will make products that people want when they are in competitive markets.

Sounds similar to what Jack Dorsey has in mind with "web5" (lol).

'''
Successful social networks are usually built around a new communication primitive. Facebook had the wall, Twitter had the 140-character tweet and Snapchat had the ephemeral message. The idea maze of things you can do with decentralized identities, blockchains and zk-proofs is large, weird and interesting enough that there are probably many primitives waiting to be discovered. Decentralized social networks should explore this as a way to attract users. Offering a product experience that doesn’t yet exist is far more compelling than a clone of an existing network.
'''

This is the quote.

For the decentralized social network, it needs to be 10x better than existing social networks. I have a few ideas, currently playing around in this space.

I think a decentralized social network can at minimum bring 10x the value to users/creators that existing social networks do.

As a quick example, look up how much Tiktok/youtube make per view. Tiktok is something like 2 cents per thousand views. Per thousand views.

I also think a decentralized social network can be much more profitable than a centralized network.

Am I blind? In the first link, I don't see anything there that demands the images all have the same aspect ratio.

Regardless, when using WP this isn't going to happen.

Furthermore, even if all the images in the srcset have the same a-ratio, that doesn't mean that ratio is the same as the ratio in the markup + CSS. Yeah, you can assume. But why risk it?

> To me, capitalism (A/B testing) means you don't respect your citizens (users). You see them as just one factor in your money machine that can be poked and prodded to optimize how much money you can squeeze out of them.

You just described doing business in todays world.

Being a bit more generous towards A/B testing, I would make a counter point: _not_ doing any kind of user testing, of which large scale automated A/B tests are just a subset, means you don't respect your users. Because it means you just assume you know what their experience is like, or worse: you don't even care about it and bother to learn something.

Your complaint seems to be more about the scale and aspect of automation honestly, and continuity of the services, which is a valid complaint against Google but not about A/B testing in general.

Indeed! I'm familiar with Contiki, and have even done a bit of Contiki programming for fun. :) Sadly, it wasn't around back then, but it's fascinating to see how more value can be squeezed out of old systems.

These particular PS/2 Model 25's probably had an edge on the C64, though. Having proper Ethernet cards and access to Netware servers allowed loading applications a lot faster than, say, a 1541 disk drive. Although my present-day C64 with Ethernet adapter, SD2IEC, etc., might could give it a run for its money. :)
In Spring 2022, Shanghai had the most serious lockdown that any major Chinese city has had since Wuhan in early 2020. Shanghai's experience is the absolute most extreme case. The number of times any large Chinese city has taken anywhere near as strict of measures at any time in the last 2 years can be counted on one hand.

But to put this in context, Shanghai makes up 2% of China's population.

China reopened schools very early in the pandemic, all the way back in March-April 2020. That's because it ended (as in, zero new infections) its initial outbreak very quickly. Schools have been open in the vast majority of the country for the vast majority of the time since.
In effect this is indentured servitude. Most people are not aware how common paying to be allowed to start a business is in Europe. For instance, I was told by a restaurant owner in Rome that you have to pay 500,000 euros to the landowning catholic church to open a tiny restaurant storefront there. This is structured as a loan.
> Sony showed up and showed how to do it and that was it.

The annoying thing is that Sony simply cannot do software. I love my A7S2, the hardware is excellent even years past its release, but the menus are confusing as fuck, why does it even ship with WiFi with the option to connect it to an existing network when their own software can't detect it there, or why does it need yet another piece of proprietary software to be used as a webcam instead of just implementing USB UVC...
Years. This has taken years for me in some cases. The further down the totem pole you are, in terms of technology, the longer it takes.

Sometimes the point of contact on the DoD or the program office side is a vacant position that never gets filled, and the person up the chain from them refuses to sign off.

The key is to find, institutionally, a heavy hitter doing something similar to what you're trying to do, and join forces. This is a lot harder than it sounds. The whole industry is stovepiped to a degree that's hard to express to outsiders. I've gone years before meeting peers in the same sort of spec areas I deal with, for example. Alone, with these weird arcane documents and disappearing vendors made of lies and ghosts, you start to feel a bit like a crazy person.
These comments just makes me feel more afraid of entering the tech workforce. Yes, the above average pay given to you in your early to mid-career looks promising but it looks like it gets worse as you get old. My parents work in finance and I envy them for still having secure careers despite being that old. I haven't even seen them "upskilling" which is, as far as I could see, a very common practice in this field.

> inflation in contemporary mainstream economic theory is to lower the nominal price of labor

Erm. Wut? Pray tell which economic theory espouses this? The point of inflation (1-2%) is to prevent deflationary spirals. Presuming there is some maximum productive capacity, wages will necessarily go up with inflationary currencies ideally in line or exceeding inflation. Bank interest rates also ideally match the inflation rate.

The only reason nominal wages have remained suppressed in developed nations has been outsourcing. This is not a function of the central bank.

BTW, my 2019 Honda 'vehicle' config menu lets me enable/disable remote start.

It's been possible forever to unlock most cars by replay. I care a lot more about the crim driving it away. This news implies only that an enabled remote start can be compromised, not that every so-equipped Honda less than 10 years old is at risk. Just de-config your remote start.
