I don't disagree with you. It's a terrible situation to be in. Violence should always be the last resort.

>Would you like to be pulled from your home by a mob, because some internet trolls said you did something wrong?

Remember, the context of this is oil firms. Decades of scientific research show they were wrong. We even have evidence showing they knew they were wrong and purposely mislead folks. All for silly pieces of paper we call money. You're literally sympathizing with evil.

So what else can we do against oil exces that manipulate and lie for decades?
How can we have true accountability and change if the criminals own the system?
Do you think they will one day hold themselves accountable and stop damaging our world?
Do you think anything at all will happen before climate change causes the suffering and deaths of millions more?
What do we do when the system is broken and no longer serves the people?

Why let hundreds or thousands of people ruin the habitat for billions? That's simply unfathomable.

Short answer is that the ribbon representation is a visual simplification based on known structures -- they are actually composed of atoms.

They certainly do "thrash around", but that thrashing is constrained by the bonds that are formed, which greatly limits the degrees of freedom. Here's a short video of a simulation to demonstrate:

Consumers like the idea of chargeback and other legal protections. Crypto advocates say that you can add middle organisations to offer this, but then we've gone full circle and really there is no advantage.
For a lot of X-ray crystallography cases, some of the difficulty is working out with no prior information, the actual structure from the collected data. This makes a lot of that... much easier because with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_replacement something that is "close, but not correct" can be used to bootstrap the actual structure from.
It really depends on whether the AV companies decide to focus purely on manufacturing and developing AVs as a product (profit at the point of sale), offer them as a service (similar to "power by the hour" in aerospace), or decide to become robotaxi/truck fleet operators to capture more profit.
Just an example, I think I'd have reached the character limit if I listed every book in existence

Upvotes was a bit of a joke. It didn't land well, it is what it is. I was being too silly.
To receive funding from some government bodies in the US there is an accessibility requirement the funds recipient must attest. Of course they could attest to anything if they know the party they're making these statements has no mechanism to ensure the statements are valid.

Our best results in meeting accessibility has been to incorporate them into design standards guide and in a brand's style guide, right next to approved fonts, colors, logos, etc. Teams never think about asking for accessibility standards but always make sure to references the other guides.
Stripe folks have confirmed that they will only allow certain support channels when certain situations come up (I'd imagine certain types of assumed fraud would merit async channels only, etc.).

It's just a crazy coincidence that they also won't tell you the underlying truths to the situation that would let you understand why they aren't letting you call them. Surely they are reasonable and not just standard corpo tech negligent customer support. Surely.
You can cache the Rust target and make it use Rust's cache properly.

There are two common ways i'm familiar with. Cargo Chef and Manually. Manually can be a bit involved, but you basically just build with empty source and prune your fake-lib files from the cache dir. Cargo Chef is very easy.

My docker images build as fast as my local images. Though if you have many crates in a workspace it can start to become difficult.
Lol this win never happen. Politicians will never vote to bankrupt themselves
Totally, as I said in my comment, I would have done that in retrospect. The trouble was that we didn’t see that as a risk, since everyone was telling us that there wouldn’t be any issues
Definitely don't do this. Film sets are very controlled / precise environments and an innocuous piece of equipment can be INCREDIBLY expensive ($200k+). The chance of messing something up as a rando is very high and you'll just end up making the crew work longer and harder than they need to.
I have run a small business, and I am somewhat familiar with payments infrastructure. From my perspective, it is the room that is ignorant. Have you ever had a customer fail to pay an invoice on time? Have you ever not been reimbursed for expenses in a timely manner? Have you ever been charged the wrong amount? Had a supplier go bankrupt?

If 3k cash flow made or break my small business, then I would've been toast within months of starting. If it's a real business, then 3k breaking the bank means you're over leveraged.

I'm not saying what Stripe is doing is okay. Nobody but Stripe and the OP have enough context to make a fair judgement. It certainly sucks, especially if OP did nothing wrong. If OP feels this is truly unjust, then that's what small claims court is for. But calling it theft when your payment processor withholds funds is an exaggeration. Is it theft if I pay my bills late?
They didn't like the mayor because he supported a civilian audit board. This was eventually forced on the city anyways by the DoJ due to the unbelievably rampant corruption and abuse in the department.

Springfield, Massachusetts if you're curious.
It sounds like design needs to be educated on accessibility. That said, all this and more is possible with Material UI. It's designed for flexibility and customizability in both functionality and appearance.

That doesn't make it okay to break accessibility though.
Congrats on the round! Love the product.

I think retool is a great framework to build internal apps. Customers always wonder of what they can build with a framework. I wonder what were strategies that you used to solve this problem.
When these stories come up, I would like to hear enough context that enables me to understand whether or not Stripe is behaving reasonably. I understand Stripe takes customer privacy seriously, but even so it would be great to get the missing information in a suitably anonymous form.

In this case, my judgment (as a small business that uses Stripe for similar-sized SaaS payments) is that they acted completely reasonably.
I think moats can also come if you have a cross-section of skills that another solo developer might lack. If you happen to have intimate knowledge of a super-specific niche industry, for example. Not just the knowledge, but the connections to get your product in front of the people who might use it in that industry.
The problem is that the strength or weakness of an argument is not objective. Usually steelmanning is fallacious when you don't first seek agreement with the counterparty that the new version of the argument is stronger. This comes up a lot when your counterparty is operating from different premises than you are.

E.g. attacking a utilitarian version of your conterparty's argument when the counterparty is not a utilitarian is fallacious, even if the utilitarian version of the argument seems stronger to you. They will see the argument as obviously flawed from the start, because they do not believe the utilitarian premise.

Uhum, I'm thinking about that as well. In the next iteration I'll probably try to add the scanline effect...
But it doesn't prevent package configuration errors and allows to bdist broken package. What's the point then?
Tolkien on Tom in Letter 144:

I might put it this way. The story is cast in terms of a good side, and a bad side, beauty against ruthless ugliness, tyranny against kingship, moderated freedom with consent against compulsion that has long lost any object save mere power, and so on; but both sides in some degree, conservative or destructive, want a measure of control. but if you have, as it were taken 'a vow of poverty', renounced control, and take your delight in things for themselves without reference to yourself, watching, observing, and to some extent knowing, then the question of the rights and wrongs of power and control might become utterly meaningless to you, and the means of power quite valueless. It is a natural pacifist view, which always arises in the mind when there is a war.

The fastest way there would probably be with a nuclear propulsion engine, as researched in Project Orion.

It's quite a note about a CEO that, when faced with actually having to do his job, he gets mad at his employees.
There is a regulatory aspect as well. The current regulatory environment is not encouraging an increase in refinery capacity, and that seems to be our current bottleneck.

This is not a value judgment as to whether this is right or wrong.
Today I learned that there are bacteria that have a protein helping to form ice on plants [1] to destroy them and extract nutrients (however I didn't understand how bacteria themselves survive this).

Machine learning typically uses existing data to predict new data. Please explain: Does it mean that AlphaFold can only use known types of interactions between atoms and will mispredict the structure of proteins that use not yet known
interactions?

And why we cannot just simulate protein behaviour and interactions using quantum mechanics?

It's been suggested the employment is because people are being forced to take on multiple jobs to make ends meet, not because there are more people getting jobs.

Gas affects the prices of nearly everything in the economy so I have no idea how you would conclude it's not a large portion of spending. I work in commodities and we are seeing massive price increases simply due to fuel & freight costs.
I'm an idiot and didn't read past the first sentence.
I've seen both sides. My first time reading it I think I was just baffled. Now I enjoy him as an enigma.
Any chance there could be a version of hackernews in the future that doesn't show or isn't consumed by stupid meta headlines?

Meta is irrelevant, basically aol to me. I don't use them, i won't use them (again, ever, under any circumstances). I don't trust them.
I only tell my friends and family not to either.
There is nothing they could do to change my mind, if they built the very best Metaverse i still won't use it. I will happily use the one that is not theirs, because my people will be there.

Hackernews has a lot of my type of people too.
Yeah, I've never felt the way about Tom Bombadil that the author implies. I find his character fascinating. But I also understand why Jackson didn't include him in the movies. There's only so much you can do before a movie becomes unwieldy.
My newsletter is making $2k per month with 7k subscribers – AMA
Hi HN!

Roughly two years ago when the pandemic had people shifting to a WFH environment, I started a twice-weekly newsletter called Workspaces that gives readers a behind the scenes tour of their favorite entrepreneurs, designers, developers, etc. new desk setups.

Growth has remained consistent week to week, relying on the featured guests Twitter presence to help spread the word.

I have featured 175 workspaces to date (70+ more in the backlog) and have grown the newsletter to 7,000 subscribers while maintaining a >50% open rate.

I published the fist 117 editions of the newsletter without a sponsor. I had inbound requests but I was focused on growing the subscriber base as much as possible. With the new year, I shifted this focus slightly and began offering one sponsor slot per newsletter edition.

Since then, the newsletter has been sold out weekly and the price has risen from the initial $150 to $250, earning $2,000 per month from sponsorships.

I think it’s important to note that this was not an immediate cash cow… sending out 117 editions of a newsletter without receiving a dime can be draining. You have to truly enjoy the content you are putting out (I do!).

However, I think this shows that consistency rules and as long as you continue to show up, put out great content and iterate based on feedback you will continue to see your newsletter grow and ultimately the money will come.

Happy to answer any questions around newsletter growth, finding sponsors, etc!
These companies are not going to invest in new production anyway, they are going to return dividends to shareholders. You are setting up a straw man.
Swift’s focus continues to be “how do we make the compiler happy to help it emit faster code” IMO. Very much in line with Lattner's, a compiler guy par excellence, original vision.

Unfortunately for me, it's not aligned with my preferences. I like small languages and frameworks that I can master and build upon. Tough luck for me, of course, who cares.

But I'm not convinced Swift is also aligned with what should be the language's main purpose: build great iOS and Mac apps.
they gotta do something to save face... i agree with you tho, this is just posturing
It's a train with much more flexibility and track re-use.

- You dan easily split of part of your convoy at any time.

- You can run convoys much closer together because the breaking distance is much better.

- your infrastructuur is re-usable by the general public.

- A single convoy breakdown doesn't completely block the tracks for other convoys. (Put differently, every location is an overtaking location)
If parent only posted the cannabis one, with the framing that you did (cannabis can be troublesome in some areas, federal regulations, etc.), I wouldn't have made my original comment.

Instead they went on a smear campaign, in some righteous attempt to label OP as deserving of not being able to reach support because they have posted about gambling/cryptocurrency/etc. Gross.
Correct, the last POTUS that did something to meaningfully impact gas/oil prices was Bush II when he invaded Iraq, and Obama a little bit when he decreased Iranian oil sanctions.

For better or worse, we don't live in anything resembling a command economy.
I mean I agree. If a restaurant I am eating at is on fire and the manager instead of making sure my fries are crisp and well seasoned is busy with other things, I will be totally pissed off.

One of the perk of eating good burger is great side of fries. If a restaurant manager can't even ensure that, then the place probably deserves what its getting.
Poor technical and legal frameworks for digital payment processors is how we have gotten to this point. Strict AML, KYC, copyright protection, and anti-adult requirements forces payment processors to err on the side of caution and deploy mass automated systems to flag and lock accounts that trigger the slightest internal alarm bells, even if this leads to some false positives and destroys a few small businesses along the way.
There are also apologists for coinbase. I wonder if these are paid "internet agencies" that realize that brand management is increasingly done through social media.
Yep, proteins are so much more flexible / precise than small molecules. Also we can get the body to produce them. Think mRNA vaccines.
until you need to type the shape of objects, and want to share that shape with other files. You can't import JSDoc types from other files. At which point, you would be forced to create `types.d.ts` file or similar. Might as well be writing typescript.

The limitations are too much for complex projects at scale. I strongly believe this is why Closure types didn't take off.

That and Google's lack of developer relations around the project

> The net profit margin of S&P 500 companies, which include energy giants such as Chevron and Exxon Mobil, in the first quarter has been running at 12.3% based on estimates and earnings reported so far, according to FactSet. That’s down from a peak of 13.1% in the second quarter of last year, but above the pre-COVID-19 level of about 11%.

As with food, they've realized the public will pay higher margins than they previously thought they could get away with.
Is your friend and wife credited in the film? Something along the lines "couple arguing at beginning"?
if you read the rest of my comment I'm sure you'll find a point in there. Picking out a single comment you don't like and ignoring the context of the debate adds nothing to the conversation. I'm not about to debate the merits of diet 100 years ago vs today in a thread about whether or not people in the US can or can't get access to adequate nutrition.
The questions were pre-recorded. It said so in the linked article. Nobody knew what Zuck was going to say when they asked their questions.
I see the article mentions Solaris, an OS that I am very familiar with, which had me thinking about the memory corruption detection Solaris offerred. Among the development features Solaris supported were two memory corruption checking libraries (libumem, watchmalloc) that could easily be used without have to recompile binaries to link with them. Libumem had support for detecting memory leaks, buffer overruns, multiple frees, use of uninitialized data, use of freed data, etc... but it could not detect a read past an allocated buffer which is where watchmalloc came in handy. To use either with an executable binary was as easy as:

$ LD_PRELOAD=libumem.so.1 <executable filename>

I found a lot of memory corruption bugs using libumem in particular including some in MIT Kerberos that were severe enough to be considered security vulnerabilities. Sadly, Solaris is now in support mode thanks to Ellison and friends at Oracle.
They might have some automated system that does it. With the amount of money going around and the ease of deploying such a technology (single digit false positives don't really matter to the modern megacorp) I'd somewhat expect it to be standard right now.

The really gross but unsurprising part is their sheer unwillingness to talk about this instance and actually work with the customer to clear things up.
Not especially so. Profitable could mean many things and doesn't carry scale or risk. Doing a funding round means you were externally assessed at a value, and that investors are willing to take a certain level of risk on your company. Nothing the company says can carry that weight or detail while still keeping their metrics private.
Same here. I started by hosting Minecraft servers on a spare PC I had. Then I taught myself web dev/design since I figured my server needed a website. Later I got into mod & plugin development. I also spent a ton of time using the ComputerCraft[0] mod to program in-game robots (turtles). It's been over a decade and my love for Lua is still stronger than any other language I've used since.

Has the world become less colorful? Even if so, this isn't bad.

There's something to be said for a world which doesn't use colors except functionally.

* A red thing is red because it needs to be seen, like a STOP sign.

* A grey thing is grey because there's no need for it to be not grey.

I'm fine with either a creative colorful world or a functionally colorful world. Most of my stuff is grey. My glasses are purple, because it serves my interests right now for my face to be memorable.

In an urban survival situation, say, I'd want the reverse: "be the grey man" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcNWAgdQoaw)
I dislike this product because its main selling point is that it helps people with violating the terms of service of a site by rotating IP addresses and defeating captchas while crawling. Not cool.
If you can staff those few points close to where people live, that still has a massive potential impact on labour cost and employee retention.
Importantly, investment, securing loans and consequently hiring is going down. It may turn out to be a mild recession or what was called "a technical recession" 2 consecutive down quarters but very mild slowdowns.
When my dad brought home a Commodore Pet 2001 in 1977, I was six years old. I figured out pretty quickly how to load and play some of the games from cassette. One game in particular, called "Dungeon" which was a pretty simple roguelike (although it actually pre-dates Rogue), I liked a lot. But the instant I figured out I could change the game by simply deleting lines of code, I was completely fascinated. Only deleting certain lines of code would work, others would make it not run. Why? How does all this work? Suddenly the game itself wasn't particularly interesting. I was hooked on figuring out the game behind the game. It didn't take long for me to start digging deeper and deeper into Computer Science.
I think this is interesting for two reasons. One, I tend to agree that, in my main feed, I want to see just what I've subscribed to, in the most to least recent order, that's it. I come in to see what's new, and am probably done after that. Two, on the chance that I want to spend more time in the app, there is a "Discover" or "Explore" tab for exactly this. The feature they're forcing into the main screen exists, but apparently doesn't drive enough views by itself.
I thought you have to move laterally to get the pixels? "The data are acquired pixel-by-pixel while moving an imaging spacecraft within the image."
