Whether an Indian is in India or Indiana, his participation in the economy shouldn't be contingent upon his discarding his ancient culture in exchange for a tacky workplace monoculture that was concocted last thursday.

While sharing physical space requires arriving at a least common denominator culture (watered down western culture), sharing virtual spaces requires far fewer and less intrusive compromises.

Personally, I think work and open source should be done like it was in the nineties, where everybody has an IRC handle and you don't know enough about who they are or where they're from to discriminate against anybody or be offended by anybody's lifestyles and cultural quirks.
Yes, and it also helps to reduce or prosecute fraud where a merchant charges for a tax that doesn't exist.
We will not eat the bugs.
If your enemy could be grossly incompetent enough to blow up their own base, or just roughly incompetent enough not to protect it well, why not keep both possibilities open? Maybe they did both :D

It is interesting that Russia aren't accusing them of attacking. That's a bigger deal to me...
I ended up calling and having OnStar cancel my "trial" in my 2018 era truck in 2019, to the point I instructed them to disable the OnStar lights on the mirror and everything. This was a task as they're very annoying and persistent...

Once that was done I originally pulled the daughterboard housing the entire modem but this bricked my compass and GPS. To keep those working I ended up altering the modem itself with a soldering iron per the pdf posted here:

https://www.chevybolt.org/threads/internet-without-onstar-wi...

The guy there on that forum did so in an effort to use your own sim with the HMI, but using 0 ohm resistors or just solder bridging the relevant connections is enough to prevent my vehicle from getting online, but leaves the GPS intact. You can test by trying to make phone/onstar/data related actions - it just won't work.

Another good measure is to remove one of the antenna leads, I forget which one is cellular primary, but the other is more GPS/aux. Doing it all this way allows you to still connect your vehicle to wifi should you so desire to, for updates and such.

There are other secrets and tricks to these things, including a git repo I cloned that is now gone from the public internet, where a guy figured out how to solder an EMMC reader to a few points on the mainboard to get and modify the filesystem.

Edit: here's a mirror

They really go out of their way to keep you from owning your vehicle.

Also bought a device that lets me plug HDMI inputs into the truck, unfortunately some kind of refresh rate or resolution issue prevents it from working properly.

As an aside, if you bought and financed through GM, they may have attached a secondary GPS/cell tracker to your OBD2 port, and used sticky tape to hide it somewhere - make sure to remove that once you're not financed through them as well (it is illegal to do so I believe before using alternative financing or paying it off).
maybe ask kind people at sponsorblock to start supporting that website as well?
Ask HN: Is there any multi-cloud storage aggregator company?
As title says, I guess I'm looking for a multi-cloud service focused on storage specifically.
Being able to provision and delete storage on-demand from any big cloud providers. Mostly looking at it from the distribution perspective, being able to provision storage in more locations, with more options in terms of hardware.
Any clues?
Frame rate is variable.
You might be able to send two samples to a soil testing facility - one with just soil, the other with 50% soil and 50% soil with 50% eggs. Maybe want to let it compost so it doesn't stink too much in the mail/lab. Or ask the lab if they can test an egg. Other labs should be able to, but probably more expensive.

True, though that is a federal tax. The 3 taxes I posted - I was referring to state and local level taxes.

Bragging about no sales tax while paying a higher income / property taxes was a pretty funny / American thing to do..
The interesting thing about your argument is that the most bull headed person is the least likely to participate in the suggested manner. The attitude seems it will only exacerbate the number of times the Bull headed win for their bull headedness and the number of times the submissive people submit.
Fair point, I'm not trying to defend ESG (there's all sorts of issues with it), but authors from abroad (like Michael Shellenberger who you link to) are seemingly caricaturizing the Sri Lanka situation (a mix of economic loan entanglement and bad policy) to argue for their narrative.

Shellenberger who you link to is "A self-described ecomodernist, Shellenberger believes that economic growth can continue without negative environmental impacts through technological research and development, usually through a combination of nuclear power and urbanization. A controversial figure, Shellenberger disagrees with most environmentalists over the impacts of environmental threats and policies for addressing them.[2][3] Shellenberger's positions and writings on climate change and environmentalism have received criticism from environmental scientists and academics, calling them "bad science" and "inaccurate"." (via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Shellenberger )
The problem is that you can disconnect the antenna, but you'll still be billed $1500 for the subscription, regardless of whether you use it or not.
> - How does it handle failure of individual tasks in the pipeline?
At this time there are no handling of failures (Sematic is 6 weeks old :). In the near future we will have fault tolerance mechanisms: retries, try/except.

> - What if the underlying jobs need to run outside the k8s cluster?
You are free to launch jobs on third-party platforms from one of your pipeline steps. This is a pretty common pattern, for instance launching a Spark job, or a training job on a dedicated GPU cluster. In this case, the pipeline step that launches the job (the Sematic function) needs to wait for the third-party job to complete, or pass a reference to the job to a downstream step that will do the waiting.

> - How does caching work?
At this time there is no caching (as mentioned Sematic is very new :). We will implement memoization soon. What you can do is run a data processing pipeline separately and then use the generated dataset as input to other pipelines.
This is a pretty common pattern: having a number of sub-pipelines (e.g. a data processing loop, a train/eval loop, a testing/metrics loop, etc.) that you can run independently, but also you can put them together in an end-to-end pipeline for automation. Sematic lets your nest pipelines in arbitrary ways, and each sub-pipeline can still have its own entry-point for independent execution.
Also currently driving a Fit. I didn't own a car (of my own) for several years as my partner had one that we shared. When that ended and I bought a fixer-upper house, I initially wanted to buy a small pickup - think of the old S-10 or the older style Rangers and Tacomas - because it seemed to fit my needs:

- Rarely need to transport more than myself and one passenger

- Frequently need to pick up lots of supplies or drop off junk at the dump

- Drive in the city with lots of parallel parking/stop and go traffic

But used versions of those trucks were either quite old and/or still demanding quite a premium due to scarcity. All newer trucks were bigger than I needed, seemed to be focused on cab size over bed size, and a lot more expensive than what I had in my budget.

Instead I just got a Fit for under $10k cash. I've transported a full sized door and can even squeeze in a sheet of plywood or drywall if I cut them down the middle before loading. Most everything else is no problem. For the rare occasions where I need to haul something bigger, I just rent a truck for the afternoon.

I'd still love a small truck to make these trips easier, but I'm not currently willing to spend more or get something huge.

Also, I'm bummed that they stopped selling new Fits in the US. Great little cars.
I got onstar with my Yukon, the subscription lapsed because I never sent them any money. The wifi hotspot though, I'm paying for that.
Excel wizards who consider themselves non-programmers, end up with what I would consider programming skills.

And this is the rub with low/no-code solutions. To use them effectively, you have to have some programming skills already.

They are perfect for lazy programmers, but less so for "Citizen Developers". At least, I haven't come across any I was really impressed with as a "Citizen Developer" platform. I would happily take references to any I should check out that might succeed at enabling non-coders to build production solutions.
At some point, "Breaking news : everything is pretty much ok" is going to be a thing.
That $3 represents a 37.5% increase. From $8 to $11.

This, yet again, showcases to the people claiming the "ad experience is optional" are ignoring the fact that the new "normal" price will be the ad experience, and that ad-less will be a premium tier priced accordingly. We've seen it numerous times, but yet people still repeat the same tired defense.

It is highly unlikely Disney will extract the full $3 from ad revenue, therefore this is just a price discrimination strategy disguised as the illusion of choice.
I wouldn't be too surprised. They already have or are rolling out cloud development environments with XCode cloud.
It helps if you read the article.

> The $1,500 plan is listed on the window sticker as a separate line item along with other additions to the vehicle’s standard equipment, but there is no option to remove it or order the vehicle without it. Customers who decline to activate their OnStar service will not be given a price reduction, GM said.
What ever happened to the first cryogenically frozen humans?
They're not "launching" a tier with ads. They're adding ads to the current subscription and raising the price for those who don't want ads.

Edit: Or said a different way - they're adding ads to the current subscription and "launching" a higher tier with no ads.
formalized expression is detail and while that detail may not be complex for a programmer it can be completely meaningless to a user. I agree with you in part but i think worth recognizing that if we all had this attitude then we wouldn't be building business applications / consumer apps for non-developers

whether you think it's complex or not, we're hiding information on procedural tasks from users in the products we build because information to someone who is not a programmer IS complex

Not sure if they included global numbers but for example, in India they have hotstar as a property which shows live sports and is huge, which bundles up with Disney+.
> To get less melodramatic and more boringly factual: a carbon tax would increase our quality of life, spur economic growth and generally be good for everyone who hasn't put their life savings into fossil fuels.

Sure, but there's a difference between a carbon tax and food policies that restrict naturally produced meats from being available to the average person. I think a carbon tax is a great path forward, personally, and I'd like to see us figure out national laws that allow for rooftop solar to be viable without allowing utilities and municipalities to ruin it. Point solar, EVs/Ebikes, and other ways to reduce or offset the needs to use fossil fuels for energy are huge boons that people are already economically incentivized to pursue (and would be even more incentivized by a carbon tax), but other policies often prevent them.
Even if there was no benefit from the data collected by the system to the manufacturer, they might still make it a default just because there are supply chain advantages to having a single unique design (with all the hardware & software for the "connected" bit) than maintaining a separate, non-connected SKU.

But of course manufacturers also benefit from the data collection and functionality the "connected" bit offers such as DRM, etc, so why wouldn't they mandate it?
I will never run an IPFS gateway as long as there are no robust legal protections against someone provoking a downloads (and with IPFS, subsequent uploads) of content that's illegal to have on your hard drive (a universal example is CSAM).

And believe it or not - occasionally such content is used as a weapon. A Twitch streamer with an open Dropbox learned the hard way. It's used regularly on _that_ kind of imageboard to derail threads. I know because a naive version of me briefly ran an archive of a supposedly worksafe board about video games a decade ago and had their door knocked down at gunpoint about a year later.

I don't know how the Fediverse still exists, considering that most implementations are very eager to mirror all media they encounter.

I know HTTP can provoke the same caching, but for that there's actually much more robust legal precedent.

Not very soon. We have a loooong backlog.
I disagree. Normal classism can be overcome to a much greater degree than Caste. An upper class person may have 4 working class grandparents. A person with 4 lower caste grandparents will never be an upper caste, just like someone with 4 black grandparents will not be seen as white.

The caste system has been enforced strictly enough to even have an imprint on the DNA:

https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/science/Caste-system-has-l...

In other words, casts differ from each other in ways that are similar to how Jews differ from other Europeans. And I would definitely label anti-Semitism as racism, even if it is usually difficult to identify a Jew by appearance.
No because it's a mandatory safety feature.

This is also common in Denmark. You get the new estimated hour-by-hour rates around noon the day before.

I actually made a little calendar subscription service[1] to help our household plan when to run the dishwasher, drier etc. and we've saved about 50% this quarter despite the rising electricity costs. You can usually tell when it's cheap/almost free too just by sticking your head out the window, since it's mostly always the cheapest on especially windy days.

Lol, this whole discussion is like a bunch of architects talking about how folks shouldn't do DIY projects on their own, and yet... DIY is a huge thing because most people are actually reasonably intelligent and capable of doing things on their own.
I suppose you could make the same comparison with whites as well, I get that there is somewhat of an issue there because it's so inflammatory to discuss whether these things are fair or even effective at helping people etc.

I think the discussion should be had anyways. There might be some value that comes out of it. Like in my own case, I'm on the losing end of these policies in theory despite having very serious disadvantages in my life that aren't on the list of things to account for. Broadening the definition of diversity could alleviate feelings people have that they're not being treated fairly. But because we aren't willing to have difficult conversations about this stuff we have a supreme court case about it instead.
The price of the soda is $0.99, so that's the advertised price.

When you negotiate salary with a new employer, do you include the employer paid Social Security and Medicare taxes? Do you say I require $100,000 or $107,650 (Social Security is $6,200, Medicare is $1,450)?
> I suspect that a driving force of "large truck" is vehicles getting expensive enough that people don't buy two

I don't drive enough outside of work to justify the costs to keep my car on the road in addition to my truck. I would have preferred a cargo van instead of the truck though, but they were 4x the price when I was buying.

Ask HN: How to restart tech career from scratch at 36?
This last decade has been a tough one and I find myself with a deep sense of stuck-ness and hopelessness.

A little background: Due to familial/personal circumstances, I studied a non-tech discipline through grad school with the goal of eventually getting into tech. After finishing, I eventually found my way to joining the founding team of an early stage startup where for the next 6 years I ran around like a headless chicken. Whether due to lack of education, experience, mentorship, or volition, I learned very little about how to systematically build a product and business. The whole experience was taxing.

I left the company to spend the next couple years working on my mental health. It became clear that much of my ineffectiveness was due to deeply-rooted fears, self-hatred, and maladaptive behaviors from severe childhood trauma.

Now at 36, I do find myself in a much better place. I've arrived at more of an understanding of who I am, my values, the kind of life I want to live. But I do feel as if I've squandered almost a decade of professional potential. I have good intuitive product and design sense, but have very very little in the way of effective skills, such as understanding and facilitating a product development process. Additionally, I have a very small network, if one at all.

Where do I go from here? Do I seek a mentor / life coach to help me build a practical path forward? Back to school? And where do I begin building a professional network? Will a company even look in my direction at this point?

Thanks.
Imo, part of the reason at least.

Still, I'm interested in your other reasons if you got any.

> *I have wondered if the high Asian population is one reason why San Francisco has such conspicuous homelessness. Western religion has some egalitarian ideas such as “The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

Currently AccessOwl works well with "Sign in with Google". More to come.

We don't plan to be come an own SSO provider as we believe authentication is solved good enough. But setting the right permissions for a user account is not.
So you SSO provider does not have information which permission somebody has only that somebody has access to an app. That's we do differently basically.
I have a bunch of servers in an apartment I use as a secondary office space. Monthly electricity cost increased by 230%. It’s like that since January. Hetzner’s 10% seems too low, although the increase is calculated on the total price of the server, so I guess it could be sufficient. I won’t be surprised if they further increase their prices in the near future.
unless a lot of consumers cave at the dealership

And, they will.

It was explained to me by a advertising buyer at a big regional auto dealership chain that the reason that auto dealers try so hard to get you onto their lot first is that in the vast vast vast majority of cases, if someone shows up in person, they're going to buy one of your cars. It's just up to the salesperson to figure out which one.

He said the very small percentage of people who go from lot to lot are the sort of people who aren't worth the effort, anyway. Which, coincidentally, sounds very much like how the tech industry dismisses "edge cases" and people who need customer service because they aren't efficient and don't "maximize shareholder value."

A large part of selling cars is about the brand, the brand's social image, and what owning a car of a particular brand means to the owner. It's why there are so many brand-loyal car clubs. It's why you find debutantes who only want BMWs. It why you find Appalachian dirt farmer who say "I only buy Chevy." If someone wants a Cadillac, they'll pay the extra $1,500 and pretend it doesn't exist because it's just $25/month hidden in a five-year contract.

Personally, I've owned all kinds of cars. More than once when considering a new car, my co-workers have offered their advice. No matter who it was, the advice was always rooted in the same kind of jingoistic tribalism that infects politics and is the basis of professional sports. My brand is better than someone else's brand. Facts be damned. Here's my wallet.

TL;DR: I spoke with a lot of people in the industry and thus came to the conclusion that X will not be disruptive...

The good part of the bet is that most potential disruptions end not happening... But the exactly same median consensus is also reached about the disruptions that do end happening...
Re: If you’re smart enough, you can figure that out.

- being able to spot situations that can be exploited has little do do with intelligence. Many smart people never figure that out.
I think originally there may have been some "grumble why do we have to charge" but I feel much of it now is big stores wanting to advertise one price for the whole country as best they can - and "tax licensing and dock fees" is a way to get around the varying prices.
Growth or degrowth are not national policies but individual ones. You cannot prevent someone with growth mindset from doing actions leading to growth. And at the same time, nobody is preventing people with degrowth mindset to practice what they preach.
Reminds me (once again) of the famous Salesforce marketing campaign, "The End of Software".

What they meant was "the end of on-prem software and its installation headaches" because the software was in the cloud - which was innovative at the time.

What appeals to people in "The End of Code" is the end of being forced to use a superficially illegible formal language.
I think the claims in this article are dubious.

For example: "Research papers are considered higher quality the more they are cited by others."

This may be true in general, but what if there was a "hack the system" effort whereby academics colluded to promote each others' research... say... in a highly corrupt country.

There has been a long term battle against corruption at universities in China.

For example, a quick search for: china university research corruption

yields several articles. If I had more time today, I'd search for one in particular which compares retracted articles due to discovery of corruption in research, in China, compared to other countries. China's rate was astounding.

No, I have never used sub addresses ever.
This rings somewhat true but I have no proof. What I do know is that when I was searching for a new job recently is I had nearly 100% success making it to a full loop interview with non-Indian hiring managers/tech screeners, and I never advanced in the hiring process when the initial manager screening me was Indian.
