I updated the post to make it more clear, thanks for feedback.

Entire movie? 75% chance sometime this decade. 25% early next decade.
My freezer is fairly well stocked with frozen meat (a good but not overly large chest freezer).

A whole chicken doesn't freeze as well as chicken parts. And chicken parts, if not vacuum sealed don't have quite the freezer stability as those that are vacuum sealed (and we're back to the individual portion problem).

When I do get raw (not frozen) meat, I've got to have a corresponding meal plan to use it all within a reasonable amount of time.

Realizing the "I am again paying a little bit of a premium here" I've ordered from an online meat company that does have individually packaged units of meat that are delivered frozen and then went right into my freezer and have been thawed as needed.

The main issue is that when buying in a grocery store, purchasing in units that a single person can reasonably cook without waste is higher price per unit than if one was purchasing in family sized units. Purchasing in the larger sizes requires an additional amount of effort and planning for meal planning, saving of ingredients so they don't spoil, and an increased tolerance for half serving leftovers.

I see. Would you consider Las Vegas overpopulated? Nothing grows there, there is no water, everything has to be shipped from outside. If the supply-chain is affected by some catastrophe, people there will starve.
> I have no interest in sitting atop of a napalm bomb while zipping around town.

This is ironic considering ICE cars have a large reservoir of the primary ingredient in napalm. And with every new technology there is always a ramping phase. Prior to gas stations ICE cars would have the same range anxiety issues. They needed to find a pharmacy to refuel [0].

I've never understood the range anxiety. An EV only needs electricity to recharge. If there is a power outlet available anywhere you have a charge source. It might not be fast or pretty but its far less overhead than standing up a gas station in the middle of nowhere.

As with any thing OpSec, all it takes is one mistake to make your digital footprint clear.

I do not have the time or expertise to explain all the ways in which blockchain forensics is able to trace identities and ownership, but behold, it's an entire industry now. And isn't that much different from other forms of forensic accounting, which has been tracing money through labyrinths of shell companies and offshore accounts for decades.

If you believe, "Well, I used a new address! And a mixer! I'm safe!", that entire industry would like to have words with you.
I wanted a dumber phone and a less addictive digital experience, without giving up any of the neat features or becoming a disconnected weirdo.

So I bought an Apple Watch and I now leave my phone in a different room. I get all notifications and can respond to urgent ones or be summoned to the phone if needed. But I'm no longer doomscrolling.
> Most people, probably quite reasonably, just take what they have been told about their institutions their entire life as a baseline. If you ask them as they're walking down the street, they probably won't be able to come up with principled objections to 9/11 truthers. They will reject it (rightly or wrongly) because they need to go to work, and it's simply not in the category of things they're willing to believe.

So the government can conspire to run a underage sex ring by proxy through one of its spies, but the government conspiring to kill a person in prison is imposible.

I'm not charmed by this conspiracy theory, it's quite possible Epstein killed himself, but I really hate this kind of performative skepticism.
Originally from Pakistan, grew up in Middle East.

Of course, my parents wanted me to be a doctor. As a software engineer, I have disappointed them for a life. It doesn’t bother me anymore, they are from different generation where security especially financial security was hard.

There were other pressures too like as kids we were constantly reminded about our duties to take care of them when they are in their old age. And how we will never be able to take care of them because of our average grades, which means we won’t get decent jobs, which means we won’t have enough money to take care of them. I used to worry so much about that I never spent my pocket money. Still bitter about it.

They pressured us but never provided any support. Other kids who did good in the school had tutors, parents were very involved in their lives. My parents just yelled and said work harder.

Same with sports, never played cricket with us. Never even taught us how to play it. But expected 5-7 years olds to know how to play cricket when we met up with our cousins in Pakistan.
Your prices are in the same range I'd see here.
Yah precisely the point. We should focus on making busses comfy and nice and on getting good coverage with bus routes so that people use them.

Worry about them being electric later, the environmental impact of less people driving far overshadows the impact of ev vs gas busses.
One version of it that I have used is "virtual" prepaid cards. The way it works is that I can use my online banking account to create a new "virtual" card and load it with a fixed amount from my bank account. A new single-use credit / debit card number (by Visa or Mastercard) would be generated with CVV and expiry date that I can use online anywhere. It provides an easy and secure way of transacting online without providing the Primary Card / Account information to the merchant. Another version I wasn't aware, has been explained here in another comment - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32238813 ...
We don't disagree. A crypto coin can be that too – stock in a company.
Really helpful, It's really hard to know about all the fees!
You're definitely not. I often hear people describe it as multitasking. My wife excels at multitasking but I perform better having my complete concentration on a specific task (the one exception being listening to music).

I can't even have the TV on for "background noise" like some people like to because you can guarantee it will completely take my focus away from whatever else I'm trying to concentrate on.
I'm pretty sure they won't.

Lithium-titanate battery Seems like a better fit for in city transportation where a quick charge is possible and safety is highly desired. Not to mention the lifetime of those cells.

> as you're offsetting it with your revenue

This is the problem. IDK about Shopify specificially, but a lot of these companies don't have revenue, or it's far from offsetting their expenses. That was OK as long as more venture funding was readily available; today that's not the case.
Why this is relevant: it's an object lesson playing out in real time that when you pivot away from a successful model (photo-based social media) due to FOMO from a rival app with a different emphasis (TikTok) you'll probably alienate your existing user base while not succeeding in pulling in the numbers you thought your pivot would achieve. (And being a Facebook-owned company, I'm personally rooting for this to be the demise of Instagram.)
Why do so many things fall under the "Google" brand and company? Why not spin off some stuff to another company under Alphabet?

It seems that "Google" means ads, at least as far as revenue goes, so anything that makes money from ads stays with Google, but everything else goes.

Obviously this wouldn't help OP, but it would let people use Alphabet Cloud products with a bit more ease of mind.
> Take a beloved in the West author like Solzhenitsyn, whose "compassion" suddenly evaporates when Ukrainian question is raised.

Solzhenitsin is one of the best literary chroniclers of repressions in the Soviet Russia (One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, The Gulag Archipelago, In the First Circle), with the degree of earnestness and realism that approaches Tolstoy's. How does his compassion to Ukranians, or lack thereof, change that? Why do people want writers of fiction to be impeccable moral leaders?
But Amazon straight up gives camera access to Ring Doorbells to police without user consent or a court warrant. If you're paranoid and a Mullvad customer, you should probably treat Amazon as if it was a part of the US government.
According to the first statistic I found [1] there are about 180000 highway vehicle fires each year in the US, and in 26% of them the item that first ignited was "flammable or combustible liquid, gas filter or piping". So that's about 45000 gasoline fires a year in the US (if you don't count ones where the fire started somewhere else in the car). You just don't hear about them because they aren't newsworthy (precisely because there are so many).

Sadly the source states that they don't have good numbers on EVs to compare.

INVALID URL: Shopify to lay off 10% (~1000) of staff
The historical record soundly contradicts you wrt Japan. It modernized and became powerful on the backs of colonies in Manchuria and the Korean peninsula. Japan was a backwater prior to the Meiji Restoration, when those projects began.

> I don't think they fell for anything. I think it's more likely that they saw an opportunity to make some money and had a loose enough moral compass to go through with it.

But even this means they fell for it. There’s very little money in providing access to NFTs in the short term. The money is made by dumping over hyped projects (ex: anything BAYC puts out).

What Shopify probably saw were the transaction amounts that OpenSea was doing, and thought they could jump on that business thinking it was any sort of long term model. They “fell” for it because they thought building a branch of their business out for NFTs was a good idea. Anyone could have seen this was a bad idea, and not a great way to make money, and also something that would die and fall apart in a few months.
Mullvad has been selling these cards at various retailers, one of them webhallen which is both an online and physical store in the nordics. However, many/most people in the US get a large fraction of their purchases through amazon. So to sell to people in the US they need some way of doing it. The important bit is that the actual account code is hidden behind on of those scratch panels. So amazon does not know your Mullvad account.

Now an adversary with enough geographic information about who connected and access to all of amazon's data could possibly correlate purchases with connections. 10 years ago I would have considered that infeasible, after Snowden I'm not so sure. If you live in a big city it is like still no issue, but if you are in some small town with a population of 1000 things might still be traced back to you. Still it's likely significantly superior than pretty much any other method including using crypto. If you are a possible target of a state actor you hopefully are thinking about this already.
Super interesting to manage our company cost regarding billing!
What is the point of the "we" in this? If I am in a computer simulation in what way do you exist except in my (fake) perception.

Surprisingly flutter, angular.
I think you could argue that Helium is not making "the Service" itself available, since it's not providing an actual Internet connection as a Wi-Fi network would. The only thing using "the Service" itself is the Helium hotspot that is within your premises.
Well, I think governments are mostly concerned with people having secrets. Who would need secrets who isn't a terrorist? That it was classified as munition is probably more due to old war hawks and how they saw encryption employed.
I also have been using Go with Tcell recently. Making small games is how I have always learned new programming languages.

I am coming off of a couple of years of playing with C to understand languages better, and free myself from the complex stacks that I use at work. I've been chatting with a highly-educated PL friend of mine about my language likes/dislikes, and he would always remark on really pragmatic choices Go had made.

I had always dismissed Go, and that has really let me see a reddit/HN hivemind I'm susceptible to. It was so easy to think "GC? Google? No thanks". After a while I saw a pattern of people disparaging Go in favor of Rust, but then using Python/JS for their own actual code. It made me feel that maybe the hivemind had overlooked the actual use-cases.

I understand that the language had its problems, from sub-par GC performance to poor Windows support, to the "no generics" meme. But for someone just getting into it now, it has been SEAMLESS. VSCode is a first-class dev environment after being configured by the single official Go plugin. Modules are awesome, and coming from C its so nice to just "go build" and have that just work.

I really expect Go to pick up a lot of steam with hobby developers soon. For simple games, Go is capable of producing cross-compiled static Windows binaries with SDL2 from Linux. That kind of dev experience could really win over a lot of C++ holdouts from the itch.io and HandMade communities that would prefer if C++ was just C with classes and types. The GC is so fast that it doesn't even cut into a 60fps time budget, and all the preallocation tricks from C still work fine... it has pointers and arrays like we are used to.

I was shocked to find how much I'd enjoyed Go. If you are interested in C/Zig/Odin, I think it is certainly worth checking out Go as a tool to play with arrays and structs, a paradigm many programmers enjoy. Having high quality libraries in the stdlib like JSON (de)serializers and even animated GIF authoring means that a lot of the simple code you might write for your own amusement won't be subject to the fast bitrot of other ecosystems.
I'm not a forensic accountant.

This like someone pointing out that there are doctors who can cure a mild infection and then demanding that person heal your infection immediately.
> In those days Apple did interviews the way they did everything else: each group at the company did things their own way. I don't know whether that's true anymore;

It's still true.
I can't think of an item I've bought from a store that was Shopify branded, but I know that a lot of big retailers online are using Shopify behind the scenes - Huel are, I believe Gymshark are - so unless you use Amazon exclusively (also entirely possible!), there's every chance you have used Shopify without knowing
> When was the last time you heard of a gasoline fire in a modern vehicle? Why is it that EV fires are so common?

What is their commonality, against ICE car fires? Are you subject to a recency/frequency bias in the news, or do you have some citable facts behind this? I see a LOT of news about EV fires, but few about the car fires I know happen because I drive past them. I suggest there is a reporting bias because of the topicality.
Hi I agree, and I myself never thought I was special amazing or everyone loved me. I did however think I was great at engineering and could write some great code.

I think the point was that most people think they're an above average on most things. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/getting-along-and-ge...

Now I realize I'm probably average at best and the stuff I look back was actually pretty bad.

If it’s any consolidation Apple and Amazon break those ToS by allowing third party devices to connect and use bandwidth.

You can send Mullvad an envelope of cash (not kidding) and then no one will know (hopefully)!
> "This isn't true. When someone cuts in line no one thinks 'oh, they found a better way - wish I thought of that'."

Somebody does; "inspirational speaker" Simon Sinek has a talk[1] segment where he's praising himself for how great he is because, after a charity run event when there were free bagels for the participants, he pushed through the queue and took two bagels and nobody stopped him.

And he is trying to teach queuejumping to the audience as some kind of "think outside the box" concept.

VSI does not have the rights to VMS on VAX, and so it's not included in their hobbyist license program.
Yes, that’s correct. They are basing it on the card issuer.
That's great, except now you need an army of IT people to stitch all these services together into one actual program and make them work. Before you just called google. And you need hardware. And fun as all this hard work might sound for tech people like us, your average teacher or principle doesn't actually know how any of this will work and has basically no budget. Meanwhile the same kids are setting up their own gmail accounts, google groups, facebook messenger etc so any hope of actual privacy is gone...
The stunning failure of Nikola or any other large-scale fuel cell company other than Toyota to deliver working FC vehicles really calls into question your characterization of hydrogen as “more mature” than batteries. Every FC vehicle is also an EV, just FYI.

One would also wonder why China has ~0 fuel cell buses and tens of thousands of electric buses if FC is the more mature tech.
Yeah, renting a truck for, say, 2-3 days was something like $250-300 in my case. If I need one more than 2-3x a year it approaches the price point of a cheap truck vs a family sedan or SUV.

On a large chunk of Enterprise Software you'd have teams of people working on specific features / subsets of a larger product.

I.e. a team that is working on only Facebook Messenger back-end, a team working on Facebook Messenger Front-end, a team working on Friend Recommendation, etc.

Each of these teams is let's say 10 Dev, 2-4 QA, 1 Product Documentation, then all the normal overhead of HR, etc.
> When was the last time you heard of a gasoline fire in a modern vehicle?

A fire in an ICE car 2 months ago shut down our local motorway for over 50 minutes during rush hour. A month prior to that, someone ran their ICE car off the road into a field; it caught fire and the driver died.

ICE vehicle fires are common. The difference is that EV vehicle fires are more widely reported upon. You see more stories about EV vehicle fires than ICE vehicle fires, so you think they happen more often.
It's for the best after the stunt their cosmonauts pulled the last time displaying anti-Ukraine propaganda. You would think that people up there would have a more enlightened perspective.

This could also the beginning of the end of Russia's space program. They have nothing to contribute, and China will leave them in the dust.
The South Park episode discusses advertisements that are disguised as news to get clicks. That’s deceptive and bad.

This is a product announcement from a startup. HN is all about products and startups and this one in particular is popular here. Advertisements aren’t necessarily bad, and as far as ads go, this one is the best kind.

Fun fact: The original name of HN was actually “Startup News”.
Buses and other "same route local delivery" type vehicles are a prime candidate for electrification TODAY because the short and known daily mileage plus always returning to the same spot at downtime sidesteps a lot of the range/charger problems that push EV to be just barely not viable enough for other cases.
That would be true for so many other games. Sports games, first person shooters, etc.
The long-term solution to the never ending distractions is going to be more tech, not less. We are seeing the start of it with Apple building out the focus modes on iOS, but there's lots of ground to cover. Imagine that all the productivity apps, i.e. slack and email, leverage AI to help prioritize and schedule what you need to respond to. For example, you could imagine your inbox giving you one notification after two hours with a prioritized list of emails to respond to. At the end of the week, if you haven't responded or read emails that fit a certain pattern, it will suggest filtering these emails to another folder.

This is a little more complex with social media, where the goal is to drive engagement time as much as possible. Not really sure what would fix this, other than users manually setting up their own screen time limits. Legislation might be able to accomplish something, but that feels very heavy handed and would likely have poor execution considering how out of touch politicians are. Perhaps Apple could build in some OS features that would identify social media addiction and gently nudge users to take breaks.

The dumb phone idea is interesting and highlights how much of a current issue this is, but doesn't feel like a realistic solution for the broader public

This is basically the plot of /The Unincorporated Man/ (Dani and Eytan Kollin, 2009), except that the protagonist (a freshly thawed man who was a billionaire in his own time) refuses to incorporate. It's all very Heinleinian, but without the horny, nerdy redheads.
