The freedoms you list: whether you can relocate, disobey community orders (norms?), or “keep” most of the value of your labor, are fundamentally rooted in a notion of the individual as separable from the community or society they exist in.

It sounds like you are saying that these values are very important, and that missing them is a “severe … social illness”.

I’m not making any historical claims here, nor any claims of relative correctness or value (though plenty of others in this thread are) — I’m just noting that these are a specific set of values and not universal ones, and I’d caution you about universalizing your notion of individual by characterizing the lack of these freedoms as a “social ill”. For example, one might easily value connectedness, belonging, mutual aid, and social support above the ability to relocate, etc. — in most societies the freedom to relocate is not the freedom to relocate your social support — and giving up social support by relocating in order to “keep” more of produced value is a big trade-off that many don’t choose to make.

And as you note, other societies have had other notions of the individual across history throughout the world.
The difference from Iceland is very clearly addressed a couple paragraphs into the article:

> Tapping that heat, however, has proved difficult. Some nations—notably volcanically active Iceland—siphon hot groundwater to heat buildings and generate electricity. In most places, however, the rock lacks the water or the cracks needed to easily move heat to the surface. For decades engineers have sought to coax heat from this hard, dry basement rock, which can reach temperatures of more than 250°C. But those efforts have largely failed
I guess I'm not seeing how this is fundamentally different than a tax.
Absolutely. I only said that what was referred to as an "easy solution" isn't.
It could totally be a natural disaster they just used to whip up the people. That’s more probable, I suppose. But I wouldn’t put it past that culture to blow up the city to gin up support for a war effort that does not look like it’s doing well. It’s so convenient.
As this is for hackers what is your stance on posting exploits, sqli, xss etc?
I get that some open source projects are focused on backend and infrastructure, but I wish they at least used a descent SSG with screenshots and what not to even figure out what something is.

The Iceland topic is very clearly addressed in the article only a few paragraphs in.
Ideally you need a block based editor. Kate is the only modern editor that I’ve used that I know has a block mode. Any others?

Now the question is how do you get a block based editor on a webpage?
Overall I'd say they are above industry average, but quality is all over the place. Some of the tools are old and carry a lot of baggage. Migrations are incredibly hard and there seems to be an underinvestment in modernization and developer experience.

I think also about the act of getting older, and the natural process of shifting priorities from new experiences toward relationships or sentimentalism.

After you’ve had 1,000s of cups of single origin coffees, the next one will surely not be anything terribly surprising. All connoisseurship eventually meets its finite ends, and with it, the excitement of the process of discovery.

It’s a wise lesson to take friends with you wherever you go. Don’t have your best cup of coffee alone. It won’t be worth it.

On the other hand, I'm surprised how few people are worried at all about taking the COVID-19 antivirals.
Similar boat here - 3 character handle (my initials), and a constant flood of password resets. I used to get a lot of offers to purchase, the highest being $20k, but those seem to have stopped lately.
This is overly dismissive of certain styles, the same could be said for any popular style like yet another chocolatey syrupy Imperial Stout, or yet another crisp Pilsner.

Hoppy is anything but accessible, in my experience, clearly some people love them but most casual drinkers do not. I personally find certain DIPAs to be a near religious experience but others can’t stand them. To each their own.
Companies sell things as loss leaders all the time. That doesn't mean you have to buy more stuff from them, and a proper Homo economicus will go buy the cheaper item from a competitor.

The solution is for Facebook to stop being bad - regulation is a method, but there's no reason for Facebook to not do so on its own. Its perfectly fine to go after bad actors separately from making better regulations

That omits most interesting part: the fundamental data model.

For example, Prometheus is "stat collector": it polls the inputs at pre-defined interval, and only record floats. In Prometheus, you cannot record "failover event" directly, the best you can do is "number of failover events in last X minutes".

At the same time, InfluxDB is "event database", which accepts any data (floats, strings) at any intervals. This is nice as you can, for example, plot "failover event" at the same graph as "system latency" and see how failover affected latency. But as a result, the queries need to be more complex to account for possibly-irregular data.

_This_ kind of comparison is very important, and can eliminate products early.
We never transitioned, wind was just the most economical growth opportunity for generation and it works really well in that regard. Just because we have increased wind doesn’t mean we don’t need to increase base generation. Not sure why you frame it like this.
You missed the radio button on page 3 which lets you see the test positivity rates based on vax status too. There too, the vaxxed and boosted score worst:

Please explain why does your data seem to be an entire outlier from Ontario, Alberta, Scotland, UK and Denmark data?

You also haven't explained how that Lancet study for UK has been disputed.

Nor have you explained how a highly vaxxed country like Canada had 60% of the population infected in past 5 months and how that reduced infection and transmission?
I find ASCII diagrams to be the opposite of Markdown. Markdown isn't perfect and so that is where extensions come into play, but ASCII diagrams are more like man pages. I think ideally a diagram markup software would use YAML or some other similar convention to show hierarchy while still be readable. Typing and editing ASCII diagrams by hand is simply not convenient.
Yup. Even after adjusting grind to account for age, i found 2 weeks to be cutoff for espresso out of my Silvia. I do pretty much only pour overs these days though, and find I need to adjust brew temp after around 8-9 day range. However, after 2-3 weeks I find the effort<>flavor trade off isn’t worth it, and toss the beans in a canister I keep for brewing with a Moccamaster.

Fwiw, I keep my beans in Fellow Atmos (vacuum) canisters. Picked up a 3 pack on sale at Costco, and I’ve been presently surprised by beans keeping a few days longer.
The article you linked seems to be talking about how two generic versions of Concerta were pulled because they were not found to be bio equivalent to the name brand medication.

The approved ADHD medications are highly effective and this has been shown through a great deal of well conducted research both by the companies and by independent researchers.
You could convert to png or tiff if you wanted lossless. Jpg at high quality is pretty good for general photo saving if you aren't doing tons of modifications after the fact.

I think some editors now save the original and just store the modification steps (Lightroom does this for raw at least.)
That was wonderful, thank you.

For many, that gap is sufficiently filled by GitHub Pages.
if you're worried about this going away, why not use something like hugo. It's markdown, and there are dozens of places that will host for free. I host on Netlify (free). If they go away or start charging, I have many more options, and as it's hugo/markdown, there's no lock-in.
You can do that on the command line (ultimately it's just a text editor and git).

Many classic coffee places are steeped in tradition. How would they know there are other ways to roast or brew coffee?

There's a good reason that the most interesting espresso machine you can buy right now was from a successful Kickstarter, manufactured in Hong Kong and is controlled by an Android tablet(https://decentespresso.com) and some of the more interesting coffee nerdery or equipment is coming from the UK, Australia or the US.

Everyone has been doing classic medium dark espresso roasts and hitting the cocao, caramel flavour profiles since forever. Or getting really dark till you get the burnt and rubber notes. The point of lighter roasts and all this nerdery isn't to tell you what to drink. It's to show what's possible with the processing of green beans, roasting and brewing, and to bring potential new drinkers in.

Snobbery in any past-time sucks, but discounting things based on that snobbery is also a bit silly.
There are two types of hoarders though-- those who take 1000 pictures of things they find interesting, and those who take 1000 pictures of things they think everyone else will find interesting.

The former is a good way to relive any experience. It's literally training data for the photographer to reconstruct their own memories.

The latter group will never have reason to look at the pictures they took. There is a lack of connection.
I get the authors point and agree mostly, the best cup of coffee is the one I had at wafflehouse when I was 16 with my only friend who had a car, smoking cigarettes at the table with nobody giving a shit that we weren't old enough to be smoking. It had a lot of sugar in it too.

But I enjoy hand grinding some beans I get that are reasonably priced and pretty good, and putting them in the French press with turmeric and mint from the garden. I sit out and listen to the birds chirp and sip on it for about 20 minutes in the morning. It's not fancy, it's not a $10k espresso machine, but it's a little more then Folger's in a percolator and I like it.

I don't get the snobbery but I don't see how people can drink swill day after day either.

This isn't my area of expertise, but my high-level lay understanding is the core is spinning at a rate faster than the crust.

I suppose when it all slows down and the spin rates from core to crust converge, it will all settle down and cool. But I think that's also when you lose the magnetic field...

Would love for someone better versed in earth's geophysics to chime in!

I’d be curious what these super secret tools do. Most “rigorous code reviews” I’ve seen are junior devs fighting over “tabs vs spaces” or “doing a for loop vs a for each” - or something else borderline meaningless.

I’d love a tool that helped with context in a larger system design way. Coming in cold on some project and expecting to know all the design decisions, and if the code structure is going away from some higher level goal is where most problems that I’ve seen come in.

I don’t see how any of the current tools help with that, and I somewhat doubt these secret tools do either - but would love to seen them if they do.
You're still being tracked by Facebook though. You might be the biggest loser in the story?

Although he directly cites Habeck explaining the situation, the author does not understand his point:

There is no electricity shortage in germany, there is a large dependency of the industry on natural gas in production processes. Sometimes used for heating, which might get substituted by elctrical heating. More often gas is used in chemical processes, where there is no direct substitute.
Just ask for a coffee. They won't roll your eyes at that. At least, that's never happened to me and that's my typical order at a boutique coffee shop. They're not going to make fun of you for not being a coffee expert. You'll end up with a nice drip coffee of whatever the house recommends.
What an excellent example of the wacky partisanship GP is describing.
I think you’re projecting. I’m not sure how I could have caveated my statement more than I did — I am not dismissing the perspective I describe as “western” at all, merely noting the existence of alternatives that may offer other perspectives on the question at hand.
I don't think I expect people to edit the diagrams on webpages, rather than locally using their favorite text editor.
The insistence that climate solutions involve self sacrifice I believe is a misguided one. I view the transformation to a low carbon future as happening primarily through the existence of natural economic incentives to do so.

People aren't buying electric cars and installing solar panels on their homes out of self sacrifice. Electric vehicles have many desirable features like being very performant, lower maintenance, able to be used as a home battery backup system, refuel/recharge at home, and are cost effective in a high gasoline price world. One of the major selling points of solar panels is the return on investment through lower electricity bills. The fact that both are considered green and makes some feel good that they are helping the planet is merely extra.

In general, sacrifice too often considered the path to virtue. I increasingly believe this to be mistaken. If we want the masses to adopt green technology it must materially improve their lives (superior in features and/or lower in cost). The benefits of being green for climate's sake I fear are too intangible be a significant driving factor in decision making.
I love IPAs and hoppy beers. Everything else is forgettable.

So glad we cleared up that everyone has opinions.

I’m just glad we have so many options to try and do many craft brewers having fun with it.
And here I am not having 2 months at company Foo in my CV because it doesn't feel quite right. I left because the position was not what was advertised, and while I did learn some of their processes but not enough to call myself ex-Fooer.
It's a lot of caffeine. If you aren't reminded that you're supposed to be hungry, you may not feel hungry until it's almost time for dinner.
> I thought recruiters weee judged (and compensated) based solely on if they filled the position

I believe compensated.

For judged, if pickings are slim (or bad offer) they still want to send people to show they can, even if it doesnt work out. If they are sending no-one to to client they will look at other recruiters. This way they show 'competence' and buy time to find someone who would accept or the client says good enough.
In addition to that taking a couple billion years, earth is also heated by fission to a fairly substantial degree which slows down equilibrium further.
Yeah, Pixar literally had to spin up VMs of their old software stack when they had to remaster the Toy Story films because it was less work than getting it running again on their current stack
For something that seems to be lightweight and simple, I’d have liked to see it being file based or like a static site generator. The official documentation for self-hosting this refers to Postgres (and Docker, to make it easier). That seems heavy on resource requirements.

I also didn’t find any pricing information for the hosted version. I don’t think supporting custom domains and images (the latter said to be coming soon) can be effortless for the platform maintainers. Since that author is here responding to comments, I’d like to know more about plans for pricing.

FWIW, Congress has a "franking privilege" which allows senators and congressmen to send snail-mail free of postage. This privilege has been controversial, but afaik still exists.
It's not the storage used but the repeated downloading, if I understand the complaint correctly. Avoiding the network traffic if you have an exact match should be much faster on a clean build, even if you don't care about disk space.
Agreed. I'm essentially out on the streets in a few months if I don't maintain in income. And that's a lot easier done with accumulated capital than it is by labor. Of course we could just chop the legs off many contrived industries like finance, and stop bilking everyone with usury, if we just realized the authority to mint money is the peoples to begin with. We could get loans from our own government. That would stop a lot of implicit or soft abuse.

One commenter said the trash man wants more money, but instead enjoys his weekends. I can't agree. He should be paid more. The books should be open, either through union power or worker's cooperative power. Taking out the trash is a valuable service, if no one does it, it's a pretty big deal very fast. That requires a form of solidarity between workers to exercise that power, but it's all about the trash man's ability to demand it. Employment is predatory if you examine the nature of the employer-employee relationship, and the goal is achieved because people are desperate. Including me, and I'm in software.

Your point about money buying back your time is an important one, because that's your freedom of choice. Freedom of choice does involve Pepsi vs Coke, but it more importantly involves how you spend a very short and finite life.

Simply put, my country (the US), needs more unions. It won't be perfect, no human endeavor ever is, but it will be better.
Gas is used as a preliminary product in chemical processes. Thus the industry needs gas, not electrical heating.
Don’t kid yourself. Both sides lie to us.
1. They have used "." in between the usernames which I have full access to.

2. They gave that as their email (Gmail) ID when the banks, ISPs, asked and the institutes never validated it. To the other Brajeshwars, they are like "Oh! Email/Gmail, then it must be brajeshwar@gmail.com." But then I end up getting their emails.
I second this recommendation. I've had Blackadder on my library for a long time but never got into it. Then a week ago I saw a reddit post of Blackadder teaching Baldrick how to count with beans[1] and found it damn hilarious. Turns out it is from season 2 and ever since I checked out that episode, I've become a fan of the show to the point coming to like season 1 as well. Rightfully binging now.

What does this post have to do with the post you replied to? What does it have to do with the thread?

The OP asked for advice or anecdotes from people who have been an early employee at a successful startup. There's value in that question, and in answers to it. Obviously not all answers will be applicable to all situations, but nobody reasonable would think they would be.

Then here comes this reply, which smells like the HN equivalent of a StackOverflow "you shouldn't be trying to solve that problem" comment.

Maybe someone doesn't want to spend years of their life writing design docs nobody will ever read, for a feature that won't ship, for a product that will get shut down in a year because the executive sponsor lost interest?

Of all sites, why post threadbare anti-startup talking points on Hacker News?
> That Windows still after 25 years of the NT architecture has a file system that doesn't scale is not something most tooling in the web ecosystem doesn't concern itself with.

This isn't exactly true. It's not so much that NTFS is slow, it's that it's not optimized for the usage patterns that Linux's FS is. That being said, it's certainly possible to have high IO performance on Windows if you know what you're doing.
Used both. Amazon is worse than google but only by a bit and where they’re better they’re much better. Blaze>Brazil, but pipelines has no real comparison at G. Metric Portal/Carnaval also come to mind as having no real competition. Meanwhile AWS/CloudFormation or Apollo et al are way more annoying to work with than the much more strict and uniform G alternatives. Anything data related (company wide data query tools, etc like Plx) is something that Amazon just doesn’t have.

Amazons approach is to let each team use their own combo of tools, all centered around the Pipelines workflow, while G has one set of tools and everyone uses it the same way (comparatively).
The heat emitted by burning fossil fuels is completely irrelevant compared to the greenhouse impact. We burn about 11.7 gigatons of oil equivalent a year, which over 200 years would be 2.7 * 10^16 kWh. The greenhouse effect increase over the last 20 years leads to over 2.2 * 10^15 kWh/yr added to the planet, over 20x as much.
Yes, the website (where you manage your card, check spending, etc) can create and manage all your virtual cards. In fact it gives you a lot more customization over the virtual cards than the browser extension. But the extension is more convenient, it automatically offers to generate a virtual card on shopping cart pages for you. But I use a combination of both.

This is how I manage subscriptions too. I give every subscription a unique virtual card and I set it to “expire” or deactivate after 24 hours. That way the cards stays active for the initial charge/verification, but then it will not work if the card gets charged at the end of the trial. If I decide to keep the subscription then I just log into the capital one site and reactivate the card (it’s just a simple little iOS style toggle switch) before the trial ends so that it continues.
