Never really noticed posts about people getting fired and complaining. My impression is that the HN audience is generally pretty strict on work behavior.

"Oh, you slightly smiled when everyone else did not? Not appropriate, we are a serious and professional enterprise, you should be fired and restricted to ever work in this industry again."

That said, claiming the audience is or does something specific is probably always a large generalization.

"your Show HN really isn't that impressive"

On that I do agree. The criticism is often very direct. There is a certain aspiration that product or solution x must be either the best or it doesn't deserve to exist at all. On the other hand such criticism can still be valuable if it is still received as hinting to stuff that can improve.
Makes sense, thanks for the explaination.

I used to work with someone who'd previously been a manager for development of one of the defensive systems.

One time, the manager mentioned that morale on their team back then had been low, and the work was maybe feeling too abstract, so manager had taken the entire team out to see a test/demo of the real system to which the team was contributing. And something about that re-energizing them, as we'd guess.

(If they could've seen a little into the future, they would've seen their system on TV news, shielding real civilians from a real aggressor's weapons, and I guess there would've been no morale problem whatsoever. I'm not sure I can accurately imagine all the feelings when something like that was successful.)

I remembered that story when I started feeling in an enthusiasm slump, years into computer work involving aviation. Simply making photo prints for my office of some of the more exotic aircraft I'd been working with only via code and data, and a trip to the airport to see some more conventional airliners and operations, made it more real/relevant at some level, and was a significant boost.

Compromised sessions is not necessarily a concern, unless the attacker has physical access to the location, since systems can detect if the location changes. E.g. Ip address change prompts the user. Not perfect, and hugely inconvenient for people with dynamic IPs.

AND filesystem access IS a concern, and that is not just if someone has physical access. E.g. You do not know for sure that the code running on your own system was designed with your interests in mind.

Intentionally or by mistake, a password database file could be leaked and broken into if uploaded to a server on the internet outside of your control, and if they also upload your encryption key along with it, goodbye passwords. It could be as simple as a piece of software uploading "telemetry" data, and "accidentally" including the password database from a browser along with the encryption key.
Also non-American, and it's not often that I buy things that are manufactured in the US, but sometimes I do relating to tools and automotive related. My experience is usually that the quality is excellent. I think if one thing stands out, it's tooling. Americans are obsessed with excellent tooling and that shows.
That's a fair assessment of the article I think. It's a genuine threat, and one we have had to deal with in a small way before.

Most of the criticism I've read here seems to be dismissing the threat entirely, using the weak "if that happened you've got bigger problems" argument.

While it's true modern-day South Koreans don't use Chinese characters (hanja [1]) at all in their day-to-day life, there are still a few places where they show up, as it was the most common writing system in Korean up to the late 19th century. Most notably, most Korean names can be written in hanja and almost all Koreans know how to write their own name that way at least. South Korean kids also study hanja at high school to some extent.

This is awesome! I regularly encounter the same problem. Particularly when shopping for electronics, where there is a clear metric that counts (say, USD/Watt hour for batteries). But how often had I wished something like this existed for other items as well. Say, toothpaste. What do I care about the brand? I care about the abrasivity factor (RDA), and the amount of flouride. Or sweaters. I don't care that it looks like wool, or that other people use it as replacement for wool. Instead, I want something that's 100 % wool, and no acrylics. Or think supplements. I don't care about fancy pictures of healthy people. I want to know what's in the capsule, where it was source, and how much of it I get per USD.

I get that a site like yours cannot solve all of that. You can only extract the info that's already there. And parsing such data for different categories of products is a major league hassle.

I once built a tool that did this for used cars. And it would allow you to plot all available listings that matched your filters in a price/milage scatter graph. To make the outliers really visible.

Can you share how you solved the parsing problem in your implementation? Is it just regexes, or are you employing NLP span categorization techniques?

As someone who has lived several years in China, it most definitely cannot be found. In some places maybe, but not anywhere or at least not in the same magnitude.

This article may simplify it too much and fail to explain it properly but the "cha bu duo" really is part of every single thing in every day life within Chinese society. It's how people cook their food, it's how delivery services function, it's the promises that are given to other people and it's also how the manufacturing works etc. And it's definitely much more common in China than elsewhere. Also it's not always a negative thing, although most western people would definitely think it is in most cases.

I take it you don't live in the EU? Because regardless of what warranties the seller provides, all consumer electronics generally have a 2 year legal minimum guarantee and the first two blenders you describe definitely would have been covered by it. Bosch would have had to replace that plastic part, not "sell" it to you.

I'm not saying this to dunk on Americans. I'm just saying this is a problem that can be addressed with proper consumer protection regulations. Mind you, products will still fail and need to be replaced but this incentivizes manufacturers to aim for 2 years of use rather than 2 months.

Of course the real problem is that the broken device becomes your problem once the legal guarantee runs out and electronics waste is just handled in bulk, disregarding the environmental impact and resource waste. All the long-term damage becomes an externality so companies will optimize for limiting the lifetime of components to the least they can get away with because longer lasting products mean fewer sales.
For most of the 1900s, the income tax rate for the top tax bracket was from 70-90%. Take a look: https://spcfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Historical-Tax-...

In 1980, Ronald Reagan was elected and the top tax bracket dropped precipitously and has been that way ever since. Prior to this, the universities, and almost everything else, was a lot less expensive.

Look what happened since 1980s when the top tax bracket was reduced: https://external-preview.redd.it/Fipe2yOlU1zHjIdNU9kJLI1idBX...

The rich started getting richer in the 1980s and continues through today. Pretty damn obvious.

If we want to MAGA back to the 1950s, first thing we should do is raise the top tax bracket to 80%. This includes when the uber-wealthy use stock as collateral for purchases - they turned their collateral into income. Jeff Bezos bought a house for $150 million. He used stock as collateral, because his salary at Amazon was $80,000, not because he was egalitarian, but he only paid taxes on $80,000. Therefore at the 1950's top income tax rate, Bezos would pay $600,000,000 in income taxes in order to gain the $150,000,000 to buy the home.

You say this would cause capital to fly overseas? No way, bullshlit. If they did that, we do what the USA has done to other countries and other people, especially during the Ukraine war - they freeze assets of individual people.

Bezos made the money in the USA, using roads, banks, buildings, and everything else, then he does not get to just twirl away into another country and take his marbles.

MAGA - go back to 80% tax for the wealthy. We did it then, we can do it now.
Yep if the customer can't tell, it's ChaBuDuo!

That's part of the reason there's so many damn tests in production and it's so damn hard to ever get rid of one.

One of the first and trickiest I had to deal with was a black paint. You can get the black in paint from a lot of different sources, but some of them are (slightly) conductive. The paint had been specified, but when margins are tight the way a CM makes extra money is sourcing on the down low. Well, that conductive paint made things not work!

The solution was to measure the conductivity, but there were millions of panels already made up and so a non-contact jig had to be made and a new test added to (near the beginning of) the assembly line to detect and separate the bad parts. It turned out that even after the initial paint substitution, the paint supplier changed their own process and this jig became useful again. It a significant piece of IP that made out product more reliable than others! It was made in the US and shipped to Asia (where I'm sure the reverse engineered it).
Oh, I didn't know about F5bot. If it had twitter it would be perfect for my use case, but I still need to give it a try!

With mine you can get two types of notifications:

"real-time" using a Discord/Slack bot;

"reports" where you get a daily/weekly email with an aggregation of the mentions;

But even the "real-time" part is not instantaneous as the service is not constantly searching, and instead performs searches every 5 minutes. Because the keyword I use gets about 20 mentions a day, I personally like the daily email option to avoid the constant distraction and I also use the service search-engine capabilities to filter/analyze these mentions on a monthly basis.

The biggest reason mine is not free is because I wanted to build a SaaS like solution, integrated with Stripe and such, as I never done that before. But if I would get many users, the monthly bill would also increase so I am a bit scared of having it free to be honest.

Daily habits to become a productivity machine

Interesting to see something new being made for Docker Swarm! In my mind, it's still one of the easiest ways to get started with container orchestration, before eventually moving to something more serious (if at all needed): Docker Compose --> Docker Swarm --> Nomad/Kubernetes.

Being able to use the Compose specification (https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/) both on single nodes with Docker Compose and then also across clusters with Docker Swarm is such a nice idea.

For practical purpose, Chinese is a class on its own that I don't think any language besides English can be compared with in the next 50 years.

Japanese and Korean should roughly have the same utilities, which mostly depends on your local living area. In Vietnam, Japanese should be more beneficial. But really, if you want to be practical, just learn English + Chinese.

"I also think this article is a little out of date, some factories in China have definitely been churning out some pretty good stuff for awhile now... "

It is still how 96-98% of China and Chinese manufacturing works, but you are right. Before it was much more and there has been a lot of development during the last 10 years.

Also what most western people don't always realize is that the stuff from China that is shipped to western countries is usually higher quality than the stuff they sell domestically. This also applies to western brands. Chinese people have much higher tolerance for low quality and things getting broken so those factories producing the lower tier products are focusing on the domestic market while higher quality manufacturing is more focused in export.

not actually disagreeing, just my opinion:

.env would be nice but I personally do not miss .yaml/.toml at all so there's likely some subjectivity in these feature-requests and keeping it in user-space has a value too (simple, rock-solid core)

being able to run typescript code (without type checks) is in my opinion the biggest improvement in deno, I don't care about their own formatting or linting and I especially don't care about their LSP and opinionated way of file urls (requiring .ts suffix everywhere). Also, webgpu is nice but it shouldn't be in the core, etc.

BTW: Speaking of complexity, Deno takes 140M of memory, bun and node are both around 10M.

I think bun has huge potential to replace node, especially because it's not written in C++ nor in rust, both of these languages are extremely hard to master and that limits contributions (and FUN) to some extent. Safety is important but it seems to harm productivity a lot.

TIL. Thanks for letting me know.

> The fed does not have to print money for the market to rise. The economy can/will grow.

I agree that regardless of printing money, the economy will recover but I disagree that it will recover as fast as you've said (hit the highs in 2 years). This is because I believe the money printing played a big part in the crazy bull run last 5 years. So without that, inflation control and geopolitical uncertainties abound, I just don't think we could hit that high that fast.

That being said, I predicted that the inflation would keep growing but it seemed to have cooled down a little bit - so maybe I'm being too grim

That's extremely strange, because I do not have problems with speed. Perhaps it is something else interfering, a bad driver, or poor support for your paticular system?

Typically things open near instantly for me. But, keep in mind in a VM, things is just horrible slow. Probably even more so if you run Windows 10 from a Linux host OS – I have had a lot of problems with that, and eventually I just gave up, because it was not fast enough for me.

For Windows, it is much, much better to setup dual boot.
>>It's just the opposite "pride of craftmanship" that you see in Germany or Japan. In those countries, many people wouldn't want their name associated with a shoddy product, it reflects poorly on them.

I know this is just a personal anecdote, but I had(recently) a Mercedes-AMG which was built first in Koln, then transfered over to Affalterbach for hand assembly and inspection, it was as German as any car could ever be, and it was the worst built car I have ever had. And I've had a 1995 Fiat Cinquecento in the past.

Creaking plastics, gaps in the interior, missing pieces of insulation that the dealer would swear "should have been there", panoramic roof that had to be taken out, re-lubricated and reinstalled because it was creaking so bad......"German engineering" at its finest, really.

In contrast, I now have a Volvo XC60 which was built in China, and it's the best car I have ever owned - nearly 3 years of ownership, not a single issue, no squeaks, no rattles, interior and panels fit perfectly......

Maybe I was just very unlucky with the Mercedes, and very lucky with the Volvo - but I don't trust that "German people take pride in their work".
