These are satellite weenies. They're going to be tracked to the game store where they play Magic: The Gathering with some other satellite weenies and then home where they'll binge-watch "Space: Above & Beyond" and wait for DoorDash to show up.

Now, you may have a point re: the furry convention...

Kidding aside, the article says the data portal will be Space Force only, and while it's not beyond the realm of possibility a Chinese asset might get a CAC card and reveal where Sgt. Spacemarine secretly plays Magic: The Gathering, we're talking about people who work shifts at big giant bases everyone knows about (Schriever, Buckley, Vandenberg, etc.), not SOF forces.

I long entertained an alternate reality where I was Craig Newmark and I invested in smaller local and regional newspapers, creating close synergies between their online operations and those of Craiglist. The plan would be to expect the collapse of print and to maintain strong local reporting operations buttressed by the power of the very tool that was killing their newspapers.

Would it have stood up against Facebook Marketplace? Probably would not have gone completely according to plan at all. But the death of local reporting is something that people do not worry enough about and I remember Craig talking about.
It does not work. I tried to take the approach of wasting their time by asking for their name and what not, but they are also getting trained to cut such calls off quite fast.
Tough call, because this is relevant and important to our educations and professions.
Mourn the loss and take your time building yourself up, there’s no timeline.
But why blame the companies who are directly responsible for this annoyance when we can blame the government who is indirectly responsible?
My dad is similarly paying Network Solutions $40/year for a domain. I convinced him to cancel the monthly fee he was paying them for an SSL cert, thankfully.

This was my experience as well. The longest I've gone on a water/coffee fast is 7 days, and after the initial 24 hours of hunger subsides, the biggest factor was psychological. I learned that I often use food to relieve boredom, and it's honestly a struggle for me to find a replacement activity which is equally satisfying.
A few tips from my years of traveling for work:

Every hotel has mini fridges they can put in your room. These are for people who have medicine that needs to be refrigerated. You can request one of these fridges if your room doesn't have a fridge. I always let them know that I don't need it for medicine and that they can have it back if they need it. I did this every week and only once was a hotel ever out of fridges; never did they request to have it back.

Bring your own router and network cables. Sometimes, I should say often, the wifi signal is weak in your room. If there's an ethernet jack then you can setup your own access point. If you can only get one connection, then the router can help share that connection. A nice router will also have multiple ethernet ports of course, so you can both be wired in when you have important calls, etc.

Bring your own streaming media device. If you like roku, or firetv, or whatever, bring your own and plug it into the hotel TV when you want video entertainment. If you bring your own router it also makes for easy setup on their network. Roku, Amazon, Apple and Google all have models with ethernet support if you want extra stability.

Bring a small toolkit with basic tools and a flashlight. Sometimes your things or the hotel's things are broken and it's so much faster to get up and running with a couple turns of a screwdriver than waiting for a maintenance guy who may never show up.

The flashlight is also very useful if you're renting cars. They're often parked in dark airport garages and it's nice to walk around the car first so you can properly report damage before you take responsibility of the car. Never rent from low priced local car rental agencies, they are known to milk the same damages for money from every customer.

Bring a good bluetooth speaker. If you enjoy music, decent sound is a simple luxury that punches above its weight. In a jam, you can cut a rectangular hole in the bottom of a hotel paper cup to make your phone speaker a little more directional. Having that toolkit is helpful here.

Check the tax laws. If you stay in any one place too long, you'll owe income taxes there. 21 days shouldn't be a problem, but probably good to check.
I hadn't realised you could use Nix for building images, or at least not standalone. An article: https://thewagner.net/blog/2021/02/25/building-container-ima...
The laryngeal nerve goes in roughly a straight line in fish. With evolutionary development of a neck stretching out, both ends of it are in the neck but the middle is still stuck near the heart. It now goes from brain down to heart, loops around an artery then back up the neck to the larynx. With a giraffe that's a pointless detour of several meters because evolution can't intelligently move it above the artery.[1]

The optic nerve connects to the front of your retina giving you a blind spot, then pokes a hole in the retina to get out to the back and off to the visual cortex which is at the other end of the brain. Intelligent design would do better.

It would be easier to create different databases to achieve the same thing. Those could be in the same database server, but clear boundaries is the key.
> you cannot blame people. Do you blame Russians/Soviets and Chinese when their media are state organs that set agendas and promulgate state positions?

> Yes, blame the media --all of them they all have abandoned principles of neutrality in favor of ideology and partisanship. It wasn't so during Clinton or Bush's time (not that any of the two were any good).

I'm not sure if the comparison holds. I think a big difference between the US and China, is that in China there's much less of a positive feedback loop between people's attitudes and media coverage. If the people want and would eat up, say, liberal criticism of the Communist government, they're not going to get it from the Chinese media.

So in the US you probably can lay some of the blame on the people: if they start to favor more "ideology and partisanship" over "neutrality," that could cause the media to give them what they want, which then could cause them to want even more "ideology and partisanship." That positive feedback loop then gets you to where we are today, and it's both "the people" and "the media" who are responsible.
Surely "astronautics" is the right word though?

Does Textualize have a good example application? I was impressed by the demos (moreso that the company is somehow funded!), but I couldn't find any actual real world application using it yet.

Also reliance on the mouse in the demos made me feel a bit queasy. Anything involving overriding the default mouse semantics in a terminal window can go straight to hell
I was a paperboy in the early '90s. The routes me and my friends were delivering were slowly gobbled up by a couple adults using a car instead.

Maybe for your situation that’s fine, but it affects me and almost everyone else quite a bit. It’s hard earned money.
The textbook company will wine and dine whoever they need to to get the work of a more compliant author to become adopted as an industry standard.
"Your personal rate of aging. Research has shown that there is a “biological age”, which might differ from a person’s actual, chronological age. People who are biologically older than their real age tend to develop more health-related issues and age-related problems compared to people who are biologically young. Our platform will provide the users with estimates of their biological age, as well as their personal rate of aging across repeated time points and potential recommendations to slow down this rate."

I question whether it's emotionally healthy for all users to have a direct measure of their aging to this degree. If I were a customer, I'd prefer to receive the actionable advice (the "how to decrease this rate of aging") without knowing the exact rate or my rate relative to the average. Especially if there were aspects outside of my control. If some other thing shows up as actionable but there's not really much in the metabolite data relevant to aging rate, cool - show me that stuff instead. If the data does show there are actions that I should take to reduce rate of aging, cool - recommend me those actions.

Certainly not saying one shouldn't be able to get at this data from your service, but that perhaps it should be an onboarding option to not receive that level of granularity.
Swpapped my G suite custom domain accounts for mailcow and never looked back. Luckily I never used these accounts for paid apps or other Google specific services.
>Those can be tested for separately.

These things are highly, highly correlated - especially so in the military.

>Given a candidate that's otherwise already disciplined and healthy enough to work at a desk job

Working a desk job negatively impacts ones health and fitness, that is a fact lamented on this very website quite often. Maintaining baseline fitness performance standards is as much about maintaining a fighting force able to actually engage in combat (unless you, for some reason, think that certain roles should just assume they never have to actually fight - Ukrainians might have something to say about that) as it is about ensuring your people are healthy. It's not "for it's own sake". Fitter people have more energy, are able to maintain higher levels of alertness, able to stay up for more hours in high stress jobs. All of which a satellite operator would be required to do.
Rare for a scam to lay out the odds pretty readily for you. Governments run lotteries exactly because you can trust them. Bob pulling numbers out of a hat for his local lottery will probably be tempted to cheat.
in practice, i rarely see a tool that only offers a tui. most tui tools i encounter will respond helpfully to a `--help` flag and let me do anything i need from a script. any tool that doesn't is nearly useless - i don't think this is lost on most cli app developers, and i don't think it's at odds with the quest for 'pretty' UIs in interactive mode.
I just have a hard time believing that's really what's gonna happen. I'm a 34 year old man living in a western country and I have not gotten one robot spam call nor spam text message in my life. I've gotten 5 fake Microsoft support calls, but always from a real human pretending to work for Microsoft.
Indeed and XScale was successor to StrongARM which I think was highest performing Arm design for a while.

Sold to Marvell in 2006 right before the iPhone appeared.

Intel then spent billions trying to make x86 commercially viable on mobile.
I think we're getting hung up on database server vs. database as conceptual entity. I think separation between the entities is more important (organizationally) and don't think it matters as much whether or not the server is shared.
Over the last few years the FCC rules on carriers were relaxed so that they can discriminate against calls originating from domestic networks. Previously they could not block calls even if it was obvious it was a scam call. However, it's not always obvious which robo calls are legitimate and which aren't.

The bigger issue though is not about domestic origin calls, it's about foreign originated calls that the FCC has no power over. The domestic carriers had to forward these calls. There is traction gaining to require that calls that originate overseas verify their identity to US based networks. Domestic carriers can reject calls that don't verify (spoofed numbers that originate offshore).

That still may not stop all the spam calls but it will slow it down. The problem here is really that telephony became extremely cheap and accessible to the whole world.
Yes, but we've gotten quite good at blocking email spam. So much so that it's basically a solved problem for regular users using GMail or Outlook. There's no reason we can't achieve the same with text and phone call blocking. My iPhone is pretty accurate when it classifies incoming calls as "Spam Likely".
Right - the $1.28B is a figment. Really the number is like $750M for lump sum. Getting $433M after a $750M windfall seems reasonable with what I know about tax rates.

The GDPR covers tracking of users, but is much more broad in scope. Simply not tracking users doesn't stop the GDPR from applying.

The GDPR provides a framework by which bad actors can do their thing legally without too much trouble. To a good actor, who only stores the data they actually need and doesn't track users, the GDPR still applies and is just as big a pain in the ass.
What about ayahuasca do you see as risky for someone with suicidal thoughts or a history of self-harm? Why does that risk not apply to these other compounds?
Show HN: MutableAI (YC W22) – Copilot Alternative for VS Code
Hi HN! We’re MutableAI (YC W22) (https://mutable.ai). Our mission is to reduce the time and cost to create high quality code using AI. We have worked at the full gamut of companies ranging from startups to big tech and have gotten the sense that many of the rote aspects of software development could be made easier, freeing up precious mental energy.

Devs love Copilot, but autocomplete is just one of many ways that AI should make programming easier. We’re taking a more comprehensive approach to developer tooling that bundles Copilot-like autocomplete with documentation, custom AI instruction, and some early refactoring capabilities (Python only) in one extension. We currently support Javascript/Typescript, Python, Go, and Rust, with more coming soon. Overview (w/ bg music) [1].

In addition to autocomplete, which can be triggered either automatically or manually, we can add documentation to all your methods in a Rust file, or you can ask the AI to insert missing imports in a Python file. In some cases we can get really sophisticated and ask it to program a game from scratch or update your REST interface to accommodate a new data payload.

We use a combination of AI (e.g. OpenAI codex) and AST transformation / metaprogramming techniques on the backend. We are also working on providing other backend solutions for varying needs, including on-prem deployments.

We soft launched our product with a small cohort of users and want to welcome more of you to our pilot beta. We hope you enjoy the product and look forward to learning from you.

We are currently in an extended free trial phase for early adopters and plan to keep a free tier for solo devs and open source contributors. We also offer a generous discount to startups. For enterprise please reach out to info@mutable.ai

We want to thank our very earliest users and invite the HN community to try the product installing it via the VS Code marketplace [2]. We're looking forward to hearing your comments and feedback, or feature suggestions!

Thanks and great question. The extractor already exists. It has already been developed and is actively being used in studies at Stanford, Cornell, pharma and other institutions. We are using this collection technology to obtain blood in a pain-free and stable way. Our main R&D is in the data extraction, processing, and analysis.

I think you want git-notes (or something similar):

"Adds, removes, or reads notes attached to objects, without touching the objects themselves."
Ah ok so it is broader than e.g. gender. I have never seen the term before. I thought it was some new code word.
Nah, it's pretty bad. I've been to Europe and visited people who live in those flats. Even if the sound insulation is good, it's a bleak existence compared to a typical American suburban house (or townhouse). Very cramped, little ability to customize or remodel it to fit your needs, no space for any hobbies or activities that involve anything large or heavy or loud or dirty. Can't really invite a large group for a party, or have overnight guests.

Dense urban apartments should be available for those who want that lifestyle (primarily childless young people) but it's not a model that we should be pushing as the default for the general population. That would be a real step backwards.
It was complete bullshit, because once the other party got into power, they did the same, and much more, with nary a peep from the folks yelling their heads off about Clinton.
I don't want to personally malign you and I'm not gonna downvote, but it's irritating to me that this is currently the top comment. I noticed exactly the same thing yesterday where a top comment was explicitly commenting on a completely different article from the one in the link that the commenter had read the week prior about a similar topic.

What you wrote here has nothing to do with the linked article. The article doesn't discuss what American government policy is or should be toward TikTok. It's entirely about the business implications of Facebook potentially losing a competitive edge from its social graph if it adopts TikTok's content model that does not use a social graph.

You've hijacked that topic to talk about a completely different and more divisive topic du jour that is already discussed every other time TikTok comes up.
This is interesting, at least. The 1-week 'test' so far is certainly a bit premature to declare success.

Let's also not forget about the need to sterilize the water further, thru boiling, or reverse osmosis, or whatever else, in order to eliminate bacteria, viruses, etc.
Sounds like No True Scotsman to me. Can we name a single time they've taken power and not created an even more oppressive, centralized, and corrupt authoritarian regime than the one they wanted to replace? But sure, this time it'll be different because we'll have the Right People in charge.
I loved VC. Its tiny size (less than 100k) made it fit on any floppy disk, even when it was already almost full. It inspired me by showing how powerful our computers are. It was an order of magnitude smaller than NC, if I remember correctly.

My understanding is invoice price the equivalent of MSRP for dealers — and like MSRP, rarely the average price paid, which varies based on number of factors; which circles back to my prior point, the dealers who are getting the best deals from the manufacturers are going to have the most room to bring down the consumer pricing, which means the smaller dealers will likely get pushed out of the market if the “markup pricing” becomes easy to get, which long term will hurt consumers.

Lastly, I personally would never by a new vehicle unless it was for a highly specific need and impossible to find used, since they’re rarely a deal; average new car drops 20% in value the first year.

idk I think this is a red herring. You have to ensure the technology itself isn't so susceptible to hacking. Gmail goes a long way to do this and Google is a technology company that helps other companies with their tech. Hmm, I wonder who can help?

Yeah, that's the thing. People still get papers delivered.

It's cheaper for everyone involved in the distribution channel if you divvy up that work among a dozen cars with large cargo space instead of a hundred or a thousand kids with bike baskets. And that's before you get into intricacies and complexities like labor regulation and the ever-growing disdain for child labor in all forms.
Tree based models seem like obvious approaches that should just work. It's more or less how a human would parse a problem. Throw some X and O's on a 2d plot. Draw lines to partition it into X sections and O sections. That's a tree based model.

In all my days I've never seen a company that didn't have a cynical PIP. It's just the HR and Legal dance they do to enforce a decision that has already been made. It builds a paper trail in case you take them to court, and the person overseeing it has only enough familiarity with your work to downplay and undercut your achievements.
> Unfortunately regulations will always be one step behind. Asking for them is victim mentality.

Is this a self-serving idea you apply only to the industry you work in, or is this a general principle you apply to all industries? Do you feel this way about the petroleum and chemical industries? The pharmaceutical industries? Food processing? The nuclear industry?

Are all industrial regulations instances of 'victim mentality', or only those that apply to your industry?

After reading this article, it's clear that step one should be to retain a lawyer who's an expert in entertainment contract law.

Now I'm wondering if a similar project could be 'the joy of lawyering in the entertainment world' with happy little examples of case law and business partner/family member disputes... hard sell perhaps.
Sure. My point is that the organization problems are more difficult and interesting than the technical problems being discussed in the article and in most of the threads.
> There's never been any "I think" in all the recessions I've experienced. Everyone knew.

The Great Recession even being a recession was debated from before it was later declared to have started until it was officially declared a year after the point it was declared to have begun (which was actually before the revisions to GDP figures which would qualify the starting point as a recession under the 2-down-quarter rule that some people are now pretending is Holy Writ.)

So, either your memory is flawed or your experience is quite limited.

My guess: for the money.

If we're left wondering why the author didn't answer the question, we presumably didn't notice that it was an ad for an Amazon show. Clever, eh?
But it's not "fair" - when government hands-out funds, they should be tax exempt
