I'll one up this one.

Years ago I worked IT at a film lab that also did onsite digital capture. There was a photo shoot going on and I needed to go onsite to troubleshoot a computer. The onsite Tech told me the stage number and streets. I said I know where that is and drove off. The location of the studio they were shooting at was across the street from Paramount Studios in Hollywood. I pulled up to the gate and explained to the guard that there was a shoot going on and I needed to get there ASAP to fix a issue that was holding up the shoot. The guard did not question much and let me through. I parked and made my way to sound stage 2 and found the set empty (giant hanger style set). I quickly realized something was off and called the on site Tech where he told me no their location was at a studio across the street. When I finally got to my location I fixed the issue then I got to sit next to the former Miss Israel. I was surprised how easy it was for me to get onto the Paramount Set and how much potential access I would have had.
This seems to vary wildly depending on the market you're in.

At one end of the spectrum I have a few friends who are tech employees at senior-to-executive levels in major tech centres in the US. The way they talk it sounds like any of them could easily get five offers within a week or two all for a huge amount of money via their networks.

At the other end of the spectrum I have other friends with broadly similar experience and skill levels who do freelance or contract work here in the UK. That market has been wrecked by IR35 and Brexit on top of the same COVID problems, global economic conditions and rampant inflation as everyone else. There are fewer opportunities now. Maybe 80% of those that remain require a strange contract arrangement where you get none of the benefits of being an employee but somehow end up paying all of the overheads of both an employee and a large employer. And the regulatory change happened across the whole industry literally overnight so with the smaller market as well there doesn't seem to have been enough competition to push rates up to compensate.

Unsurprisingly several of my friends in the UK have considered going back to being permanent employees or already made the jump. But then the only way to make even decent money by US standards in the UK was to be an independent or to start your own business. So basically we have people with 10 or even 20 years of experience who might be staff/principal engineer level or senior engineering managers but whose total comp is about the same as a newbie starting their first job at a FAANG in any US tech centre.

Both groups find it hard to believe what's happening to the other but that doesn't mean either is wrong. They're effectively operating in entirely different markets with entirely different constraints.

No, you are right. The curse of premature optimization.

I have an older Skylake with 25 GB RAM or so. Load is 0.51, RAM is at 5 GB or so... Plenty of space to grow but I am rather new to docker (~8 years as opposed to 30+ in standard Linux) so I did not do too much of research.

I will go for really independent, contained blocks, it has nothing but advantages.

Organisms, yes. Individual genes within an organism may have no sequence identity to genes in other organisms (outside of what you would expect at random). See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphan_gene
Stories of Diogenes are always entertaining.

'He destroyed the single wooden bowl he possessed on seeing a peasant boy drink from the hollow of his hands. He then exclaimed: "Fool that I am, to have been carrying superfluous baggage all this time!"'

'while Diogenes was relaxing in the morning sunlight, Alexander the Great, thrilled to meet the famous philosopher, asked if there was any favour he might do for him. Diogenes replied, "Yes, stand out of my sunlight." Alexander then declared, "If I were not Alexander, then I should wish to be Diogenes." "If I were not Diogenes, I would still wish to be Diogenes," Diogenes replied.'

'Some one took him into a magnificent house and warned him not to spit, whereupon having cleared his throat he discharged the phlegm into the man's face, being unable, he said, to find a meaner receptacle.'

I went through this recently and by the time we reached the last stages of the process I've lost interest.

I realized I literally need to be unemployed to bother going through all of these useless stages.

Things I realized: The pay that is in the ad is always lower. That recruitor who won't go away just wants you part of a funnel they get paid for, if the company really wanted you they would just make an offer.

As an aside it's pretty bad form to accuse the person you're talking to be emotional. It's implies that your argument is logical and correct, and the other person's is incorrectly clouded.

> I thought most political position are paid positions

I think the vast majority of US elected positions are unpaid or have a small nominal stipend, but, yes, federal elected officials are all paid (the salary, and even more the total comp, are...pretty minimal compared to the private sector for the kind of responsibilities involved.)
“Disclaim” stopped me.

One of our eventual goals is to transition to a creator-driven system where anyone can teach others about how to cook, and monetize that too. There is so much food knowledge hiding all over the world waiting to be shared.
Sorry, I simplified this because I thought people would appreciate having the reference to the actual principles behind the cases rather than literally just naming random names that happen to be the plaintiffs in the precedent setting case. To be specific, we're talking about substantive due process as referenced on page 43 of the decision. As an aside - it's making the quite whimsical statement that abortion isn't deeply rooted in the nations history - literally comical. But moving on, Thomas goes on to clarify on page 118 that he believes that that entire phrase is an oxymoron, implying that no ruling based on it should be upheld.

As you point out he literally name drops contraceptives when abandoning entire swathes of court precedent.

> Should I bother to see what he actually wrote about same sex marriage and gay sex?

No you absolutely shouldn't bother it's definitely not there. I'll hold my hands up, I just got to the word contraceptives and just made the rest up. Let's read what it really says:

> Cases like Griswold v. Connecticut, Cite as: 597 U. S. ____ (2022) 381 U. S. 479 (1965) (right of married persons to obtain contraceptives)*; Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U. S. 558 (2003) (right to engage in private, consensual sexual acts); and Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U. S. 644 (2015) (right to same-sex marriage), are not at issue.

Oh that's right that thing you say you couldn't find and I must have made up, is in fact in the same sentence that you pointed me to. Which brings me back to my original point - which was to quote the actual details of the cases, not the names of the plaintiffs.

>They don't bring the cases. They choose the cases from those they are brought but they have also regularly chosen cases that invoke Roe or Casey, before and after the conservative majority.

Just to be clear, the replacement for RBJ was in place about 18 months ago and since then a number of clearly Roe-breaching laws were passed and then progressively handed up through the courts to get this decision. It has been as direct and immediate as it could possibly have been.
It's unfortunate that the article doesn't _link_ to the numerous related projects it mentions.
Appreciate a good film production documentary recommendation. Any suggestions? My partner worked in film and described sets - love to learn more about how a larger production functions. I think good film production teams require incredible organization and coordination skills and processes.
I cringe every time I hear people celebrate the price of housing going up. Due to financialization we have an economy predicated on the necessities of life becoming increasingly expensive. I fantasize about the opposite; ubiquitous low cost quality housing available to even the most destitute.

Usually people take baby steps.

Getting a business license as a solo practitioner costs $40 in my state.

If you need to hire your first employee, your state likely has some simple instructions on how to do so. And if you can hire an employee, you can also pay for an accountant to help you with payroll, file taxes, etc.

This is how, like, 90% of small businesses in America get started. Your average restaurant owner never went to business school. If you are not incorporated, business finances are pretty understandable.

If you really want to go big to start out, you can look at a service like Stripe Atlas that should walk you through incorporation.

I'm not saying business school is a waste of time. But if you are motivated and already know what you want to do, you can learn all the same things faster and cheaper by just getting started.
At my ripe old age of…38…I am of the opinion that text could use a bit more contrast.

It’s in part that font. Low x-height. Small apertures and counters. It’s a bit fussy. Fortunately, it’s using a system font fallback, so once you strip out the webfoot and it renders in San Francisco on a Mac: looks great.

ok, so you've criticized the constitution for the acts of unspecified people who later misappropriated it. can we only misappropriate the constitution, or perhaps, some people can take the same document, flawed or not, and derive a reasoned, even egalitarian and/or benevolent, position from it? do you see how that doesn't invalidate the document's principles, or its potential use as a starting point of reasoning?
I think you mean it doesn’t include “console support” not “cross-platform” support, and as it is very much cross-platform across desktop and mobile targets.

And your friends are clearly just working in a different way than the many people who Godot is a good fit for.

Even beyond hobbyists and new game developers, there are plenty of business models and artistic visions that don’t need a console port or that can indeed outsource it once there’s some financial momentum.
Looks like Snap, Crackle and Pop are down as well.

It's funny when you read so many people on HN talk about others speaking outside of their areas of expertise when someone is talking about tech and then come to articles like this where a bunch of programmers try to sound like experts on the economy. Hubris is not in short supply.
I find it fascinating that for this is literally what a Chinese citizen could say about their country, except for "New England".
China has the best chance of ending the war by aligning itself with the western world and imposing sanctions.

Why is Zoom.us the link for AWS region being down?

Also, I thought Zoom hosted on Oracle Cloud?

So the problem was that Nirvana's Oracle Feed, that reported the price of ANA, was manipulated into showing a market price higher than was purchased by the exploiters. Who then sold their ANA back at the higher price for USDT, thus making a profit.

So how was the Nirvana Oracle manipulated to report a higher price for ANA? My guess is that the large purchase was enough to push the price higher (by 35%) and make the flash loan transaction profitable.

That's pretty trivial to work around... you can own one primary residence, and one additional residence in DC. You can't own 10 buildings.

> And so how do these members of congress pay for staffing, research, etc? with just 150K per year?

They don't. The $174k-193k (the latter for certain leadership positions) is their salary. They also have individual staff budgets, and there are shared services with their own budgets (CRE, CBO, etc.)
> The idea that do-ers can make decisions or inversely - that decision makers can do (anything beside delegate) is alien in business.

No. Knowledge workers are never mere executors, by definition.

Additionally, not all business exists to benefit only the "decision makers". There are such things as coops, social utility companies and no profits.
Yes, that's what I thought. I worked with m. genitalium and we were always looking for proteins that had no homology or no existing structure (https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.20...)
On this page where it pops up a support window, https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true (you might need to be logged in to see it) there's a dropdown with various choices, and the Chat and Call buttons get enabled or disabled depending on what you choose from the dropdown. In the default state with no option chosen, all 3 buttons are grayed out, but a lot of the options seem to enable all 3 buttons.
I would propose a more measured approach to this subject. To (mis)quote Jesus, "let he who has never done anything stupid in his life cast the first (metaphorical) stone". There certainly are people who do stupid things all the time, but there also are people who do stupid things relatively rarely, and those things can still have costly consequences. For instance, I once totaled a car because I trusted that another stupid person who was signaling a right turn would actually turn right (fortunately nobody was hurt, but my car was wrecked). I felt really stupid for months after that...
Uhm, you do know that actual Nazis vote Republican right?
Their official stance is that they can not release the code for consoles because of NDAs. You won't find any open source engine with console support because of that. They are hoping that consoles loosen up and open source their SDK.

Wonder if this is why Zoom is down. Wasn't able to connect just now. The connection proxy/sites were giving 504s.
I didn't know I wanted to know the answer to this question but having now looked at that picture I reeeeaaaally do.

You touch on a more serious point though: one of the issues that's apparent, at least here in the UK, is how suboptimal a lot of peoples' home setups are. Even mine, which I consider to be otherwise decent, is in a tiny little room that imposes considerable constraints.

Moreover, loads of people don't have a massive budget to create an awesome setup, so I think some sense of showing how to make the best of a small budget or very limited space (many - probably most - people don't have a dedicated room, for example) would be incredibly helpful.
Yup! Good days and bad days (weeks/months) — in the good times, all kinds of bad stuff can happen without much impact, and in the bad ones, small things can become real problems, even existential problems.

This says NOTHING about the quality of the business.

Notice that both Tesla and SpaceX are extremely good businesses yet were within weeks of bankruptcy at several points in their history — a bad event at the wrong moment, even though very small percentage-wise, could have tipped them over the edge and they'd be history.
I said that. We had a saying in grad school, "the very best protein structures are crystallized from postdoc tears".
