First images from NASA’s James Webb space telescope reveal ancient galaxies
I operate like that, but the other way. I generally only leave very positive reviews when I've had a great experience. I guess I'm fortunate that I've yet to have an experience so bad that I was motivated to leave a 1 star review despite my apathy.
My toddler's default mode of learning seems to be "let's try to eat it and see what happens" :)
Are you serious? Go look up the federal budget. The majority of our spending is for social services. We’re $30T in debt.

We can’t even afford what we’ve got now.
Did she take a photo of the camera?
Note that France has one of the highest levels of government spending as a share of GDP (and hence represented by taxes, though this includes sales taxes/VATs/etc/etc) in Europe, at 62% or so.

For comparison, Germany is at 51%, UK at 50%, Netherlands at 47%.

Belgium is close to France at about 61%...

The US (not in Europe, obviously) is at 46%.

And Switzerland at 36%; this is the European outlier in the opposite direction from France.

But a priori, just from this data I would expect French taxes to be about 1.4x US taxes and Dutch taxes to be similar to US ones...
Having had to clean out my mom’s tiny apartment (30m2) after she died I can say that one can put away a lot of stuff no matter the apartment size.
This is how I have been using them, and the recent "star lists" feature makes it very convenient too
Why isn't helpful? If it accounts for natural phenomena without mystery sauce then we're good. Our familiarity with the millennium long physics of parsec sized systems is rather limited and to presume there aren't factors at play that have variance at that size is rather presumptive.

Has there been an effort to sincerely discard everything, observe only large scale celestial systems, then try to derive things all over again? You may just get classical models but then again, you might not.

I'm familiar with that "shutup we know everything" response and not only do I find it thoroughly unconvincing but it's never been correct given a long enough timeline of scientific inquiry.

The idea that we can demonstrate all the physics of the universe given the surface of a single planet sounds a little irrational.

Look at the Voyager 1 AACS data for instance. Is the data incorrect or is it correct and things are just different in interstellar space?
In my experience at a FAANG company it was basically impossible to fire people for low performance. People who did zero valuable work could last for multiple years without having to fool anyone. I’m talking about people that had zero or negative value to their team and 100% of their teammates and management would agree. You’d only get fired if you did something extremely offensive.

I don’t want to work in a hostile environment with constant purges but I do think it would be healthy if more people in big tech companies got let go for being bad at their jobs. People making 300-500K doing next to nothing isn’t good for anyone (except them).
Quote from the article about the "Breathtaking Design Strategy" document:

> February 2009: Arnell sold Pepsi a pretentious, mostly made-up brand ideology document linking Pepsi to the Mona Lisa, De[s]cartes and Hinduism, as part of a successful logo redesign. Price: $1 million, reportedly.
The article doesn't specifically tell these are instructions for people outside the kill zone. And severely lacking survival information.

Either the script should have added more details (instead of a commonsensical fluff piece) or added more practical information such as shelter inside well built closets, underground subway or enclosed spaces (and pay attention to emergency alarms/ alerts of a nuclear strike)
I wonder if there's enough interest in the franchise to reboot it or see it in a new medium in a way that isn't just a cash grab. My worry there's only a 5-year window of PC gamers who would care, but I'd still love to see it.

According to a recent post on HN, some of the scammers might actually be held captive and forced to scam people:

>Captives are subjected to violence and torture, which is sometimes filmed and sent to relatives to spur them to send ransoms. Some have been killed and their deaths reported as suicide, according to workers who have escaped.

Is it really true though. Lotto ticks are sold in every small corner store, many gas station convenience stores, and most chain convenience stores, and many grocery stores. If they were illegal, most of those places would stop selling. What percentage of people that currently buy lotto tickets would seek out illegal places to get them? If it's 100% then sure, keep the legal lotto. If it's 5% though, what then?
Even the vacation thing depends. As an American, I just finished a six week paid sabbatical. I also get 10 paid holidays. And I get another paid day that I can use as a floating holiday. And I get 8 hours of vacation each paycheck, up to 400 hours of which can rollover from year to year. And we get a paid week off in the summer. And we get every Friday as a paid vacation day in the summer (between labor day and Memorial Day). And every five years a six week sabbatical, as I already mentioned.
would it make sense to balance the two images in terms of brightness? the hubble one just seems dimmer.

There is some extra "pinpoint" clarity in the Webb image, but it doesn't show (for instance) a bunch of new stuff, I was surprised at that.
What about diet sodas? Are they equally risky as well? Does the aspartme trigger similar reactions from the body as sugar?

Thanks for that info. I'm currently putting the discs into a mid-range Panasonic UHD player, which is supposed to be able to convert HDR to SDR properly, but clearly it's not doing a good job of it.
In my country, NL, employees often stay on for up to 2 months after they've been 'fired'. It's standard practice and people usually just continue to work and transfer stuff to other departments before they leave.

Do you do contracting jobs or freelancing?
Just unionizing can really move the needle on getting companies to eliminate some of the casual cruelty. Unfortunately approximately everyone on HN is a temporarily embarrassed 10xer who thus feels no solidarity with their fellows.
Thanks, very helpful. That is one less questionable inference I will carry around.

Speaking of complexities, I'm fairly sure the GI who did not refer me was married -- so he told me I'm 98% sure -- to a pharmaceutical salesperson who sold GI related infusions (and he got me in a perhaps unrelated study). There were other manner-related problems. .. Does not change my profound regard for MDs in general. (Have worked with MD/PhDs, wouldn't be alive without some interventions, very dedicated care, etc.) Be well.
If you look at tech companies in the HN sense, as in web-based, SW product or SAAS, then most tech companies in Germany are not IG Metall unionized.

If you count tech companies in the German sense, like BOSCH, Siemens, VW, etc. then yes, most are IG Metall.
Object tracking is actually a very complex behavior, requiring significant computational power. The eye has little to do with this, except for providing the raw sensory information.

Basically the brain has to interpret each single image, then stitch together multiple images, understand that they are related, recognize objects within them, then start interpreting differences between them as movement etc.
Thanks. I think this is something that attracts me to his writing - real life rarely has endings.
Depends on the job. At my job men get 3 months and women get 6 months paid parental leave when a baby is born.
Many experts think that raising BoE rates will do more harm than good:

* inflation is mostly imported

* cost of living crisis

* incoming recession

So they are under pressure to both try to contain inflation (but see above) and prop up economy.
Not sure it would apply all that often for search indices, but joins are the usual reason I can't use them when I want to; triggered functions (obviously) allow any query.
We'll be quite lucky if we can build a colony on the moon, and that's a far closer goal. We know people don't do well in zero gravity, it remains to be seen how well we hold up in 1/6 gravity. It might be enough to keep the worst of the effects from happening.

Anything we do on the moon is going to have to be sub-surface to get away from the radiation and dust problems.

I don't see us getting a colony on Mars without non-chemical propulsion.

I am more interested in knowing how Sri Lanka arrived at this state; How does a country "collapse"? Where were the Economists and Finance Guys? Were the economic/banking systems really this brittle with no resilience are all? I would appreciate somebody knowledgeable do some explaining. I have browsed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%93present_Sri_Lanka... but still am not "getting" it.

That said, i think Sri Lanka is doomed for at least a decade simply because of their outstanding Debt.
You give out bonds or certificates to external parties.
You are not alone [1]. My emotional response to this image made my spine tingle and was almost tearful. Just trying to appreciate what I'm looking at will take me some time, appreciating all of the hard work and raw science that went into this less so.

As an 11 year old, watching the moon landing, I lived and breathed all things NASA and space related. Now, as I near retirement, I feel just as privileged to view this image in the same way.

Show HN: Kreya, a Postman Alternative
Hi HN! For over a year we've been working on Kreya. At first, it only supported gRPC, because the alternative tools (eg. BloomRPC) were very limited in their functionality. Since then, we have added many features, trying hard to keep the UI clean while still supporting advanced use cases.

Yesterday, we released Kreya v1.8, which added support for REST!

In our opinion, Kreya is a good alternative to the existing tools out there. Sure, it may not support all the features that Postman has. But we think that Kreya has some innovative approaches (eg. authentication or API importers) that users may find interesting.
Progressives currently threaten internet freedom far more and it isn't even a competition here. They demand hate speech laws, people and content to be banned. They are just the new conservatives with their own dogma, sensibilities and aversion to free information exchange.
Because no US company can exempt itself from complying with US warrants. Thus, the EU always views data as being potentially shared with the US government. The GDPR prohibits even making a log of IP addresses if there's any US control over it.
The call for energy conservation is one of the most absurd things to come out of the green movement.

We're supposed to further development, not halt it, we need more energy to do so, any conservation efforts will naturally come with economy of scale and practical considerations (for instance, when it becomes cheaper to make stuff use less energy than it is to build better cooling) and lots of other factors.

For the future, we need faster, better, cheaper energy, everything else will follow.

Spending more energy would also encourage re-use of waste-heat, for instance, we could have industry mandatory connections to a waste-heat system where they'd dump the waste heat, which could in turn be used for heating homes and other relevant infrastructure.
I just need a sensible way of running it on the desktop.
This is a really interesting point. I'm starting to find that you can gain meta information from the reviews. What does the profile look like; why are the negative reviews negative; is this a local with a loyal but undiscerning following etc etc.
That is how most sports are. There's not all that much strategy involved in amateur league tennis or football either, execution rules supreme. I don't think you can separate out execution from strategy unless you explicitly separate out the time pressure, such as in (non-bullet/blitz) chess. But RTS without the RT part is a very different game.
After Kalinga war Ashoka renounced voilence as per the teaching of Buddhism. Do you have a parallel example from Abrahmic kings?

Having said that every civilization have had destructive infights. People fought for money, power,fame etc.

But that doesn't mean they destroyed each other's knowledge system, temples, and monuments. That's is only true for Abrahmic philosophy which stresses on destroying the culture and knowledge systems of the conquered.
I try to find a comparison of a relatively large number of devices to get an overview first. Some sites do summary tables in which they list attributes similar to those you listed. Heise.de for example often does that in their product tests. If I'm lucky, there will even be a site that lets you filter down a list of products by checking boxes (like [1] for monitors) [2].

Even if not all my search criteria are listed in the tables/filters, it allows me to reduce the number of individual products that I need to take a closer look at afterwards. If I cannot find information on whether a specific product has a certain feature from the manufacturer's pages or an independent review, I check Reddit or similar forums.

An initial problem with discovering good comparison and overview sites is of course the amount of SEO spam out there. I've made good experiences with using Kagi [3] instead of Google in these cases.

[1] https://www.prad.de/test-kaufberatung/produktsuche/monitor-s...

[2] Idea: Someone should make an 'awesome' list of such product comparison sites, if it doesn't exist already.

Of course it comes out of your compensation in the end. It just doesn't come out of the "headline" compensation number you see.

Which is fine if you're comparing equivalent "headline" numbers. But for other purposes the ratio of take-home pay to what the employer has to pay out (so including all the employer-side taxes) might be more relevant in terms of determining your likelihood of receiving a certain level of take-home pay.
Based on comments from here and talking with friends, Meta was already on the way to having a bad reputation among engineers.

I think this will just add more to that image.

Damaging a company's reputation among engineers is not something that happens like 1 and 0 but more like growing older

And I think in the end recovery from bad PR among engineers is very hard. I saw this happening to other companies and most of them never recovered.
> nuclear and its permanent poisoning of the earth is not the answer.

But somehow the "nuclear is bad" people are fine with coal plants throwing literal radioactive fumes on the atmosphere and prefer that to nuclear plants

So color me skeptic the worry is legitimate
GP did say 'reimplement' (not making it sound trivial, like 'add a sqlite backend plugin') in fairness - i.e. in your terms 'why not implement the ES API for sqlite'.
Here's hoping they avoid death by IMF.
My experience in Sweden has been that employees are in normal circumstances trusted to work faithfully during their full notice period of three months. There's an informal understanding that one might not be as productive during those three months, but not that one would be actively malicious.

Seems crazy to hire people in the first place that you don't trust!
You do realise there are more countries than the USA right?
"From our home on the Earth, we look out into the distances and strive to imagine the sort of world into which we are born. Today we have reached far out into space. Our immediate neighborhood we know rather intimately. But with increasing distance our knowledge fades, and fades rapidly, until at the last dim horizon we search among ghostly errors of observations for landmarks that are scarcely more substantial. The search will continue. The urge is older than history. It is not satisfied and it will not be suppressed." -- Edwin Hubble
Archon mode still exists though, for example Harstem (SC2 pro/streamer) posted a video of a 3vs3 with some of the best players in the world just 2 days ago:

You're right that the archon ladder is a shadow of the 1v1 ladder though.
Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence.

This is a bit on the harsh side in our field, nobody knows everything, and the knowledge available in a team is unevenly distributed, so, be kind and remember that while they might not know what you know.. You probably also don't know what they know..

For a new hire, however, they might be green, or have a different perspective that may need adjustment. They may have come from some consulting gig where they were taught to "just hack it, and fast!" rather than making quality software for the future, if so.. Don't be mean to them, but make sure to point out everything possible in their review so they have a chance to see the standards to which they must rise.

When I'm faced with a review where I feel like everything is wrong, I will still comment on everything, but I will not be angry or agressive, but simply state what needs chage and why. This takes a long time, but I will log that time on their ticket.
did the sciences of phrenology, plum pudding model, God doesn't play dice, et al stop existing? I hope?
It depends on the country.

In the US there is significant money: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-YRSqaPtMg with the common side effects: https://www.power-eng.com/nuclear/spiraling-costs-of-vogtle-... https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Co-owners-sue-Georgia-Po...

In Germany (and many parts of Europe) the same companies which run gas and coal plants, run nuclear. And there are state interests like nuclear weapons, submarines, etc.

So no, it is not just some nuclear enthusiasts or other romanticisms. It's just money. As everywhere else. In the case of nuclear energy it's also many times taxpayer money. A lot of it.
Too bad it does not have Sound Blaster emulation.
Yes, but unless the ratio is heavily skewed towards fat and protein, in reality it makes little difference (as tested with a glucose meter).
This. OP has posted a classic first world problem.

I'd get the closest thing I can find that does the job at a reasonable price and be happy with it, my life, and move on.

Mashed potato is the worst, by a country mile, but potatoes in any form, hot or cold, will all result in a rapid hypo (just not as rapidly as with mash).
Isn't this just a new way to pay for already existing options? Instead of paying the full cost in advance, you can spread it over the product's lifetime, and once the car gets resold, the new buyer can "configure" it as they prefer.

Yeah I'm sure about that. I mean never say never, but I would place a heavy wager on Alberta not ceding to the USA in the next 100 years. You're right that there is a strong anti-Trudeau, anti-Federal sentiment in the province, but that in no way implies a greater desire to be a part of the USA than Canada.

Independence, and a union of the 3 prairie provinces into a separate nation? There's a slim possibility. A state in the US? No way.
I thought it was because they switched to HFCS?
>Spreading out production units of a mix (wind, solar, hydro, geothermal...) is key.

Sure. Let me just build hydro dam where there's no hills and dig some geothermal where's no geothermal activity and we're all set!
Agree on fasting, I did 5 days before and it was a good experience.
Oil and nuclear are not in competition. Oil barely is used for electricity production. And for other fossil fuel power plants: they are in the same hands as nuclear power plants.

There biggest players however are militaries of states with nuclear weapons, as a lot of the industry is dual use as can be seen with Iran.

You can moralise and equivocate all you like, he is not being held for his views or his politics, he is not being held for political activity, but for his clear criminal actions, which include attempts to have people murdered. That's not 'political'.
you are ignoring what he said. I don't know if it's true, but he's saying CI is not simply a function of how much you put in your mouth, but how much of that your body absorbs.

You said the bad word, "work". Sounds like effort... Better to just guess, that's faster and doesn't make your head hurt that much.

This valid for everything, not just police work.
A useful trick is to start with a known product/app and try those queries in Google: "alternative to <product name>" or "<product name> vs". I often do that to find software recommendations and usually end up on https://alternativeto.net/, but I suppose it could work for other types of products as well.
I don’t even run a business, but I constantly get instagram ads for services that promise to delete bad reviews. I wonder if these services are spamming google so much that all flagged comments will get shadow banned until they are manually reviewed (which means never).
It is forbidden to build new oil refineries and pipelines. Banks will not provide loans, insurance companies will refuse to insure it, govs will not issue permits and so on. Oil is obsolete industry with limited supply, and it makes sense price increases like with housing.

"Undercut"? You're getting there.
100% disarmament will simply never happen because the country that hides a few nukes while claiming to have none will win if push comes to shove. Best case in that scenario is every country is hiding nukes which is arguably not a lot better than the status quo.

With Russia explicitly nuclear war if other countries interfere in Ukraine, I also don't see any nuclear arms control talks occuring in the near future.

While Google’s mission does include making all the worlds information “useful” it is an extremely difficult task to have an automatically generated taxonomy of everything in the world that is also useful to users. It usually requires some thought and curation (the taxonomy).
How is this 0% measured? I would think 1 J coming in from the wall making 1 J of heat means 100% efficient.

Yes there are inefficiencies at generation and transportation. But I don't think those are usually counted when talking about the efficiency of a home device. And it certainly won't be enough to bring it down to 0%.
