Great info.

That photo of their building, at first glance my immediate reaction was the assumption that it was a screenshot from Minecraft. Upon closer inspection, it really is a photograph. Kind of a good metaphor for Scientology itself, looks harmless then you really look and it's quite a stark reality- less "wacky" and more "wtf".
Yes it should be taken seriously, even if the company claimed it was not to be taken seriously. Whether it's enforceable or not or to what it really applies is irrelevant. The important thing is that they may sue you for anything you may create while you work there. The question you should ask yourself is, "do I want to find out." My advice, since your boss's response wasn't something like "Oh, that's just required by our investors, we are going to give you an exception on the thing you want to work on.", don't work on any side thing while there, and walk out as soon as possible.
I am not from the US so I don't know what kind of dystopian regulations you guys got over there.

But: if the company wants the fruit of the work you do outside of paid time, they should pay you 24/7.

If they decide that is not worth it, they should not expect to see any of your work.

So this might just be a very bad contract..? From the corp perspective I understand they would like to prevent you from creating a product that relates to their core business. This is only fair.

Maybe you can get them to allow certain different (unrelated to their core business) exceptions?

I agree. There are some playlists and songs I only listen to in the gym, and similar songs constantly float to the top of Spotify's recommendations for me due to gym being 3x week.

I did consider creating another "gym-only" user on our Family plan, but Spotify should really have a way to create named contexts for the one user. e.g. commute, gym, run, working from home, on a plane, etc.
I mean where the user resides and which law is applicable. In case of Android it means where the phone number is registered.
A single query can write to multiple tables, using CTE's in PostgreSQL for example.

You could compose a SQL query that allows you to map multiple resultsets to 1 resultset, although that feels a bit awkward.

WITH a AS (
insert into a (k, v) values ('a', 1.0) returning *
), b AS (
insert into b (k, v) values ('b', 2.0) returning *
)
SELECT
row_to_json(a)
FROM
a
UNION ALL
SELECT
row_to_json(b)
FROM
b;

Returns:

row_to_json
--------------------------
{"a_id":1,"k":"a","v":1}
{"b_id":1,"k":"b","v":2}
(2 rows)

One issue I have w/ webdriving headless browser in general is host RAM usage per browser/chromium/puppeteer instance (e.g. ~600-900mb) for a single browser/context/page.

Could crawlee make it easier to run more browser contexts with less ram usage?

e.g. concurrently running multiple of these (pages requiring js execution):

The essay cites this thought experiment to back up that quote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renninger_negative-result_expe...

The idea is that by clever positioning of detectors, it is possible to make a quantum observation before the detection physically occurs. That challenges the notion that wave-function collapse is a result of instruments interfering with the system.

This doesn't imply that the system "knows" anything about the conscious mind observing it. Very few physicists actually believe that consciousness affects physical mechanisms in this way. A more plausible interpretation may be that the wave-function collapse represents a belief-update process on the part of the observing agent.
Somewhat similar, I'm not really a tik-tok-fan, but after watching a LinusTechTips video with "KallMeKris" I was hooked on her content (one woman plays like 20 characters, yea yea judge me later :P ).

Ask HN: Why shouldn't I setup a site that gives away SSL certs for local dev?
TLDR - Fundamentally, what's wrong with hosting a service that provides it's own SSL cert (public and private) for others to use for local development

For quite a few projects, I use a standard domain for which I have the SSL certs for.

Some of these projects require an SSL certificate to function (maybe for external requirements etc.)

To onboard people to the project, asking them to get a valid SSL certificate can be a pain..

Obviously getting them to create a CA certificate, generate a server cert etc. and adding the CA cert can be a pain.

So my thought was to share a common set of keys that are only used for local development for a non-functioning domain.

But I took this thought a step further... why shouldn't there be (or I create) a service hosted on a real domain, which provides it's own SSL certificate - providing the public and private key to anyone that requests it (e.g. https://mylocaldev.com/public.pem / https://mylocaldev.com/private.pem).

Maybe the certificate could be for a sub-domain of the actual domain, which doesn't host the actual 'site' that provides the certs (e.g. https://mylocaldev.com/certs.pem provides the certs for https://dev.mylocaldev.com)

This way, anyone could obtain the SSL cert, add the domain to their hosts file and use the certs for hosting apps locally.

Obviously, standard points:

* This is a blatant issue for MITM attacks

- But what would they be intercepting.. the public/private key?.. who cares?

* The SSL traffic generated by the applications that people use the certificate for could be 'MITM'ed or decrypted

- Again, if it's local development, I can't see a difference over hosting local applications without any SSL encryption

Maybe I'm missing something else? If not, how has something like this not already been done?

On the flip side, am I right in thinking this _would_ solve real-life problems that people face?

Certainly feels easier than using tunneling software that SSL-wraps the traffic (https://github.com/localtunnel/localtunnel) - though obviously this is only a small benefit of using applications like that (i.e. making your local development environment publicly accessible).

If you swim through the marketing soup, and the NIST web site, you eventually get to the page about Electric Field Metrology[1], which is what they're really talking about.

Making something relatable to the layman on the street out of this technology is obviously at the limits of marketing and imagination. There's a far more relatable story in there somewhere, but I'm not seeing it right now. Unfortunately, if you can't explain it to the layman, you can't get more funding, which is why they push stories like this, instead of just trusting the institutions to spend research funding wisely.

--- Edit/Append ---

Here you can see a paper from last year[2] where they're hoping to use similar effects as a cheaper way to measure voltages at high precision.

Here's a paper from 2019[3] where they use similar effects to measure RF voltages of ~5 Kv/M in a sub-millimeter gap. It's not very sensitive, in practical terms, but if it can be made linear, it offers a way forward to very accurate measurements of such fields that aren't subject to the vagaries of transistors that drift in parameters over time.

It's the ability to measure things without relying on the manufactured characteristics of a physical object that makes this technology valuable. Just as atomic clocks eliminate the need to trust that a particular Quartz crystal is made precisely enough (and hasn't been damaged or aged too long), or the measurement of length no longer relies on a specific bar stored in a building in France, this technology could offer yet another quantum based method of measurement which depends on the fact that all atoms of a given atom are identical, and thus not subject to that variation.

Currently, there are no quantum based voltage standards that scale well past 10 volts and remain cost effective. This may extend that range to 10kv or beyond.

The problem is that people like you who are willing to pay to remove ads are the minority. The vast majority of the people in the world won't pay to remove ads.
The counter view is that we are all becoming to apolitical and the world is becoming too fuzzy/overcomplex in our view, so that our traditional political system can cope with them. The thesis, antithesis, symbiosis mechanism described by Hegel has produced a great blur of least bad options for the majority (some being at least really bad for a few) . It would be up to the intellectuals to at least develop a more inclusive antithesis. I am only seeing hyper-capitalist BS as a proposed "radical" option. A revolution needs a good cause...

Most international (and even local only) european debit cards are owned or serviced by Visa and Mastercard. A store isn't denying people either Debit or Credit. It's only denying them bananas & laundry detergent.

This is totally tangential, but I would actually argue that denying someone access to their credit is not that different. Credit is what money is. Our European attitudes towards debt and credit is intensely responsible for our two tier system. Credit for the rich. Debit for the poor. Policy debate about where and how the border between these two should be.
I find your description more appropriate.

And what are they made of? Potential! Universal potential collapses as state in the moment of now through entropic resolve.

Measurement (as part of the collective resolve of the environment) disturbs this resolve, affecting its distribution.
It’s also largely the state deputising corporations to do law enforcement without judicial oversight. We have seen this in banking for years where banks have become liable for the misdeeds of their clients and are effectively applying an over-cautious approach of aggressively investigating and banning clients, that makes the most zealous stop-and-frisk policies look mild in comparison. You live in a world where you cannot not have a bank account, or a smartphone, or an email address.
I wonder if it differs across Europe. In the UK at least, you are very right. Debit cards run via the visa and mastercard networks and every store that accepts debit cards also accept credit cards.
I can't quite see what you disagree about but yes all your other points are true - that's correct. Perhaps you missed the bit where I said I was squinting :-)
Isn't it principally an industry thing to hide the composer, they don't want us to know that the pop is from a "factory" and picked for the artist, they want the public to believe the myth that the manufactured band sit on mountaintops with their instruments coming up with new grooves (or whatever).

Can't you just let the user decide "artist + track" or "artist + composer(s) + track" or ...

Not that big of a leap. A human also created the "algorithmically created bands", which is far easier than algorithmic music (they'd just register artists with random/generated names and some random choice of an image).
Hey thanks for this detailed feedback. I'm a co-founder at Nowala. Seems like we have some work to do for an online launch as our early customers come from people who know and trust us. Our FCA regulation is in process but we still made sure to launch early.

On the "guaranteed" money, we do state that it's an "4-5% estimated annual return for 2 years"... If you saw somewhere that our returns are guaranteed on the site, it would be helpful for us if you could say where so we can fix that mistake.

On your launch point. We actually launched over email to our family and friends! But I'm a software engineer so it was quite easy (and free) to launch a quick Expo app in attempt to test some of our key assumptions.

Thanks for pointing out the flaw with our Terms of Service. We were originally a Delaware LLC so we'll need to update that.

If you could point out any other issues/concerns that stand out to you, that would be super helpful!
yeah you should ignore the hot takes and just read this article from the EFF and the linked Coin Center article on this.

otherwise nobody else knows what you are talking about and it just reads like strawman arguments to discredit something nobody here actually said.

The issues are that the order does not distinguish between an un/incorporated organization of humans called Tornado Cash, and the autonomous smart contract that those humans do not control. The autonomous smart contract has no way of petitioning to removing itself from the SDN list, which is a prerequisite for inclusion in the SDN list, and a prerequisite for an American to get a license or have any remedy under the Administrative Procedures Act. Another division of the Treasury, FinCEN already has knowledge on this distinction and has said it in the past, while the OFAC division is acting like it is not aware of that guidance at all. There are other issues with that.

The follow-on issues are that this creates a chilling effect on speech and expression. Nobody knows their liability surface, and alters their own behavior because they aren't sure if they're going to prison or not.

> Of course caucasians would be a victim of ~90% of interracial crime, those are the general population demographics in most places that are not urban in the US.

What does it have to do with anything?

Let's simplify and assume interracial crimes only include a white person and a black person (e.g. we're excluding other races to simplify the model). If both races had equal propensity for crimes, the whites (as well as the blacks) would victims of 50% of interracial crimes.

Given that whites they were victims of 90% of interracial crimes, it must mean that the other races were the perpetrators of 90% of interracial crimes. The fact that whites are the most populous race does not change anything there.

Both Spotify and Apple Music algos have no idea about music mood vs time of the day vs activity. Like late evening before sleep being perhaps not a good moment for heavy metal. And running not a right time for slow classical music.

Which is weird in case of Apple Music because Apple knows exactly if I am sleeping, running or driving a car - just from reading my watch.
I had to do this when young... I was homeless, rough sleeping. Honestly... it's a terrible piece of advice.

Those risking everything have no other choice.

If you're reading this person's blog post, if you're on HN... you probably have a choice, and you probably aren't "risking everything". I cannot imagine anyone on here actually choosing to potentially have nothing at all, no network, no funds, no assets, no nothing... and I do not believe the author of the article would either.

I am reminded (again) of this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15659076

> Entrepreneurship is like one of those carnival games where you throw darts or something.

Middle class kids can afford one throw. Most miss. A few hit the target and get a small prize. A very few hit the center bullseye and get a bigger prize. Rags to riches! The American Dream lives on.

> Rich kids can afford many throws. If they want to, they can try over and over and over again until they hit something and feel good about themselves. Some keep going until they hit the center bullseye, then they give speeches or write blog posts about "meritocracy" and the salutary effects of hard work.

> Poor kids aren't visiting the carnival. They're the ones working it.

Only the privileged get to choose what to risk... and that risk isn't as real as when there was no choice. Those who know that would never choose it.
> This in combination with the already existing labor shortages severely limit the region's potential.

The potential comes not from the region, but the people living there.

Oh, nice take! Reminds me of the chess world, long time ago chess entities that could beat any human in the world have existed, people wouldn't play them because losing all the time was boring.

But then came the neural network chess engines (powered by the same training technology of text to images generators), which even people enjoyed playing for some time due to novelty and how they learned how to play from scratch (Alpha Zero, Lc0, et al.)

In the process to get there, we got networks of all kinds of strengths, you could find one exactly as strong as you, and its mistakes were like the mistakes you would make.

And yet, they were missing the "human factor", people would rather play against other humans online, some even willing to pay for accounts in places like playchess and chess.com to play other humans.

As the networks became stronger and then stockfish assimilated them to get the best of both worlds with NNUE, nobody cared and there was even an explosion of human vs. human chess (when twitch.tv and youtube stars were playing each other and the audience didn't even care how bad the chess was, it turned out that it held up as a great spectacle despite, or thanks to the stars being novices - and the race to get better at chess.)

Now chess bots are just a curiosity and only used by people without online access to other humans, I wonder if it'll be the same for art, and if "show your work" becomes a thing.

You can ask an AI to produce a great picture... now try asking it to make a video of you making that art from scratch and the creative process - the whole art section of twitch tv is about the artist's process, and yes, there'S some people that get enough from that to dedicate all their time to their art.

This is one of these grey areas where the clause is in the contract mostly to deter the employee from working in the same industry on the side, poaching clients, or using your position in the company to build a competing business on the side.

Assuming you are in tech / software development, that clause suggests you are not aloud, for example, to play in a band that is paid to perform at weddings at the weekend. That clearly isn't the intent of the clause.

Say you work in FinTech as a software developer, but at the weekend you want to make computer games. You are doing software development but it's in no way connected to your employment, again that is clearly not the intent of the clause.

Say you work in a specific industry, FinTech, Gaming or something, and you have an idea for a development tool that would aid people in your line of work, but isn't something that would be a "product" that your employer would make themselves as it's not their core business. It may be the kind of tool that your employer may purchase to make development easer, or to use in their backend. Then you should speak to them, pitch the idea, most good employers are likely to be happy for you to work on that sort of side project, especially if you let them use it for free or at a discount.

The closer your side project becomes to your day job the more likelihood you should speak to your employer first. If they are difficult about it, un justly, then it's an indication that it may be time to move on and find a new employer.
