I don't understand why anybody can recommend anything from Dell.

Last company I worked from had ~30 XPSs (various models).
On average we had one break daily.
Yes, they pick it up, and return it "fixed" within a week, but then it just breaks down 2 weeks later.

One of their "docking station" brick thingies went up in flames, while nothing was plugged into it, causing an evacuation of the building.
Another one "exploded". Not bad enough to hurt somebody, but the coffe mug next to it was blown off the table.

My XPS 15 started to get hot, and smoke out of the keyboard while I was reading my email. Scaring the shit out of everybody in the coffee shop I was sitting in.

"Dude! You're Getting a Dell!"
"Nah, thanks, I'd rather get a lobotomy."
Conversion also costs energy. Save more energy by not listening to podcasts.

But that's the cheap shot at your slightly ranting arguments. USB isn't going to run us into the ground. Transport uses up so incredibly much more energy, almost none of which comes from sustainable sources at the moment. Cooling and heating too, obviously. Don't worry about a better USB cable if you're really concerned with the environment.
Yeah, it's not a small field...like anything legacy ;)

> People might not want to be seen publicly by everyone

Private accounts (where you have to approve followers manually) exist and as far as I know nobody is calling for making those public. A hypothetical API would still require the credentials of an approved account before returning data of such accounts.

> But it’s not all that hard to exploit this by creating a popular page that lots of people end up sharing some data with

I don't understand what this has to do with an API? You can create a phishing page now.

Cambridge Analytica created a malicious website that requested access to people's accounts and they granted it. Not only is it on idiots that approved the OAuth consent form, but it doesn't seem like it's got anything to do with what the parent comment was proposing? As far as I know all he was calling for is to provide an API that returns the public data that you can already get via the official web UI or app.
We're just entering an era where tracing methane leaks down to individual city dumps or cattle feedlots is possible, so Russia's gas wells freezing and then them being forced to capture the methane leaks would probably be an overall good thing.
Can you rotate a plutonium "carousel" fast enough and then make all the pieces crash into a wall, onto each other...

Compare the 'Performance' model (i7-1260P, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $2269AUD with a similar StarBook with Linux and choice of firmware (Am' Megatrends vs Coreboot) at $1831AUD, and the StarBook has plenty of ports too. The 400nit display is also very enticing to me.

"Quiet quitting" is a management-led, somewhat loaded term that describes a real phenomenon which lies entirely upon the shoulders of the organization (its management, and not an individual employee) to fix.

Harvard Business Review is merely trying to soften the blow, in hopes that an entire tier of managers does not wake up to HR invites and separation agreements!
My guess would be somewhere between GDPR and legal liabilities (for EU anyway).

I'm guessing they're not prepared to deal with privacy concerns but its just a guess.
It seems you have the names and cities reversed.

We don't have a Ctrl-Z, but we have a sort of a pause button. Non-proliferation agreements, IEAE inspections, bans on selling certain products that are key enablers of production of atomic weapons.

Just like a 300$ dollar chromebook is a comparable product to a 2500$ Macbook Pro. Not that we really even know anything yet since the screwdriver hasn't hit consumers yet(with some small exceptions).
Yeah the CI case is really interesting, it’s generally reproducible and declarative so a good fit that way, and time waiting for things to start is a big deal in CI.

Another use case I was thinking of was stateful compilers like scala where warming up the compiler is expensive, often a CI task too.
At this point you discover that there are at least three different options for C# UI, all of which have significant drawbacks. The performance of a WinForms Teams UI would be fantastic, though.
No, making a true atomic bomb is extremely difficult science and engineering.

Now, a dirty bomb, which is just a conventional explosive together with radioactive material - designed to spread radioactive material instead of releasing the fission energy into one giant explosion - is easy to create, but not that much more effective than just a conventional bomb. It would trigger a massive cleanup effort, and it would surely give some people cancer later down the line, but it wouldn't be that spectacular.
Probably you never fly budget airlines. Getting back your money is not two click and 20 minutes there. Also you could loose ticket (phone, paper) too, not only credit card. Actually you could drop your phone into the toilet at the airport or on the floor or run out of charge, etc, not like a credit card. Preauthorise/hold amount charged later is something there for long time already. I start to wonder who have no understanding here...

Or you can just buy a (literal) boatload of smoke detectors (americium) and medical waste (curium) and make an americium bomb - or use a neutron gun to transmute your americium into plutonium via curium.
LTT had Wera, Wiha, and other screwdrivers available during their streamed sales event for people to compare their screwdriver to, so considering the volume of sales they still managed to achieve, it ought to be better than a Wera for some.
Though I'd still prefer a Wera Kraftform Kompakt 20, the telescopic bit holder is neat.
There are many reasons someone might want a restaurant to die that have nothing to do with the quality of the food or service - including racism, snobbery, property speculation, competition, and personal vendetta.

HN discussion thread of the Ars Techica article : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32686750
i’m not sure that is an accurate timeline of what actually happened—at least from what i’ve read.
I'm a Ruby guy and I tried Crystal for about 2 years and absolutely loved it but then had to give up for the following reasons:

1. Too slow to compile (the whole program + the entire stdlib is built everytime you build!). No incremental compilation available.

2. No language server (apparently it's just impossible due to the way the language works). Tbh, I'd be happy with just "Go to definition" but alas, no-can-do!

3. Obscure error messages (macros are to blame here)

4. Weak HTTP server implementation -- making things such as a fetching POST params or uploads incredibly frustrating. Once read the request body cannot be read again.

5. Weak/non-existent Windows support

6. No multicore support

7. Obviously small community

8. Nil handling takes a bit getting used to (coming from Ruby)

9. Error messages are hard to read with overloaded methods wherein just the types are used without any indication of what doesn't match

Overall, if the above changes, I'd switch to it in a heartbeat!

> "I'd say Windows is a decade behind gnome."

^ I thought this made it clear I was referring to Windows?

I honestly do not care about anything related to flame wars. Just that whenever I use Windows and want to do OS related things, it all feels clunky and annoying. It's not consistent. It's slow at start for no good reason (likely due to telemetry, or other online stuff). Updates are annoying and I'm glad I don't have do do anything professional on Windows. The windows api is ugly. The only saving grace it has for technical productivity is WSL2. But, at that point, there is zero incentive to use something so clunky, when you can use linux/gnome and have a much, much, more enjoyable experience.

Again, everyone to each theirs. Ship buoyancy and all that.

edit:
Ah, I think I understand my misunderstanding. I wasn't commenting so much on the previous post about Windows vs MacOS. But adding that if something is a decade old compared to Windows, I consider windows to not have had any consistent improvements since Windows XP. Everything after that has been a mess. Some things better, but with a mix of old. "Need to fix something os-related", looks through new control panel. nope. looks through old control panel nope. Maybe it was in computer management?
This sort of generalization really doesn't help any discourse.

While it's indeed easy to lose the things you mentioned we're still not forced to do so. Many are already stepping back and reconsidering their choices, and rediscovering various real-life elements. I'm seeing it around me.

And this:

> We've lost a sense of community

...is extremely one-sided. I started my life in a small town where if a bunch of prejudiced people didn't like you then God help you because they could even make sure grocery stores will not be selling you food. I wish you luck even existing on a basic level there.

For people who don't have the approval of their small communities, internet (or physically moving) has been a blessing.

So while your point is valid, you went way too far without regard for nuance. The fact that a lot of people waste their precious time on bullshit on the net does not in any shape or form mean internet hasn't been extremely helpful and enabling for many people.
....and you don't mind being lifted out of bed at 3am by the security services in your country, face a lengthy interrogation and a potential prison sentence.

They only got offered one other option though. Because the research suggested a true PR option would win, so they didn't offer it, then they could claim they'd tried and the people had rejected it.

Same trick used in the Scottish and Brexit referendums. Worked out for them with the first two, blew up in their faces on the third go.

Yes, you in fact get better recommendation as you use it more.

Reading HN, sometimes it feels like I must be the only one in the world enjoying good recommendations from both YouTube and Instagram. I do have many thousands of watches and likes on YouTube and Instagram, but it didn't feel like work, because I accumulated them over years of use.
You still see polarization, though. People calling Lib Dem supporters "yellow tories", people who like Blair and/or his vision of a center left Labour party "red tories", calling people "gammon", etc.

These things help push people to the extremes and drown out the middle ground. That only helps push people further to extremes, which ultimately leads to conflicts as the two sides disagree with each other.

And while there may not have been calls for Corbyn to be jailed or murdered (I can't remember for sure), there has been a strong anti-semitism push against him (rightly or wrongly) with calls for him to step down as an MP.

The UK is growing more polarised, we just haven't had an inciting incident like George Floyd or Jan 6th yet. It has come close with things like Brexit.

How to Create and Deploy an ERC20 Token
You are putting a lot of hypotheticals here. I suspect you want me to answer the question of what someone should do if they have literally no alternative apart from striking for whatever reason. And if there are no alternatives then sure, go ahead and strike. Maybe a miracle will happen and the workers will suddenly become well off. But realistically the strikee-s should acknowledge that they've already failed to secure their own prosperity, and the opportunity to correct that failure is something other than going on strike. Maybe they've locked themselves in to a bad outcome, but realistically they should be exploring all available options because any strategy that doesn't involve striking is better. If your best option is going on strike, the situation has already reached the point of no return and the opportunity for a prosperous existence is lost.

There is an easy strategy for success. Invest in capital. Invest in education. That works. It isn't fast, but it should be Plan A. breaking stuff or doing nothing but eating reduces the available resources and makes the community poorer. It should be Plan ZZZZ. I suspect we will find it is unlikely to even secure tactical victories in hard times and companies will fold. I don't need a personalised plan for every unlucky person in the world to point out this relatively obvious fact.

I don't believe most people who end up on strike have actually tested all the options that they could have tried with a coordinated group of people before they try striking. No shame on them really, but most groups just aren't that thorough. But letting them believe maybe they're doing something clever is a disservice; it is a plan to fail.

Going back to the thread root, it makes a huge amount of sense to negotiate away the right to strike if someone is willing to give you money to do that. I too would enjoy being paid to not shoot myself in the foot.

> I've got a friend who is a railway engineer.

I've got nowhere near enough information about the gentleman to speculate. But I can say with confidence that if his best plan is to work less and dedicate his energies to fighting his employer then his future is bleak regardless of the outcome. It isn't a strategy that can make him better off long term. It is going to make him and his company poorer the longer that is his best option for bettering his income.

I am neutral about being the bearer of bad news, but I note that it is not my fault that the news is bad.

> I don't know of any investment opportunities that benefit from economies of scale.

A group of striking workers couldn't get enough capital to benefit if there are. You talk of a fellow trying to support his family, and I note that families have quite different spending profiles depending on the number and age of the children involved. There is going to be some slack in the system if a group of families are willing to work together and try to pool their resources and that is what I'm thinking of.
Yawn..

Well, it doesn't help that many inspectors actually have to use public transports and be paid later from their travel expenses, so their control area is anyway minimal.

At least that is how remember how bad it used to be.

If you do so make sure to buy the longest extended warranty you can, covering the slightest tiny thing that can happen to your M1 Mac. Mine was a fine machine, zero bug, while the screen worked. These M1 Mac laptops have brittle porcelain screens. As someone put it here: it's the bend-gate all over again. FWIW I've got both a 2013 and a 2014 MacBook Air as well as a 4 years old (?)

Ask HN: Is San Francisco that bad?
Hi, first some context:

I'm a 35 year old that previously founded a Startup and had a moderately successful exit, and so I don't need to work any nmore.

I'm deciding where to live. I'm Brazilian and traveling through Europe now. I'm split between moving to Europe (Vienna, Budapest or Lisbon) or moving to the US (SF, NYC).

I'm starting a new company (AI space). I have seen a lot of disturbing news about SF, but as far as I understand there is still a lot of talent and capital in SV. If it was just for quality of life, honestly I would not consider the USA, but it seems still to be the best place to start an ambitious project.

People who live in the Bay Area, how bad it is?
It's worth it?
It's the damn truth (the only true "true") at the bottom of everything. But the anxiety goes away after a while.
I don't know about this specific service, but I've read up about the general context.

What is happening here to US Conservatives is similar to what happened to Muslims around 2016. Until that time, most online services didn't want to touch anything religion-related with a ten foot pole because they felt that it would be religious censorship and/or feared the backlash. But then, with Daech stepping up its online recruitment effort and hiding much of it among benign Muslim/Muslim-adjacent conversations, services decided to do something.

So a loosely coordinated effort started around 2016 to marginalize Daech. This meant investing time and effort in moderating Muslim and arab-speaking communities. This meant banning extremist users and closing extremist groups – even as they migrated from service to service. This also meant banning communities that refused to moderate extremist speech.

And, to the best of my understanding, it worked. Daech lost most of its capability to recruit online for terrorism, civil war and funding, while, after an initial scare, regular users (including Muslims and arab speakers) continue using the services without any real disruption.

Until 2020, nobody dared to touch US Conservatives for the same kind of reason. US Conservatives are powerful, well funded, well organized, they own a large fraction of US media and they are very much in a position where they can boycott and destroy plenty of services (possibly not Big Tech, but many services are much smaller). This was a problem because the number of terrorist attacks planned by groups hiding in plain sight among regular Conservatives users had reached scary levels, not to mention the amount of dangerous propaganda hiding among regular Conservative discussion. I assume that there were plans to try and do something about that, but they were rejected by business fiat because of the fear of backlash. Then came the assault on the Capitol and the plans were not rejected anymore.

We have entered a stage in which services attempt to get rid of/marginalize extremists from within the ranks of US Conservatives, in the hope that this will help decrease far right terrorism. It is scary for US Conservatives, just as the 2016 operations were scary for Muslims and arab-speaking users. As far as I can see, right wing communities very much continue to exist – they just can't operate in a "we're not going to moderate extremist speech".

Is it specifically targeting US Conservatives? Yes, it is, because US Conservatives communities are being used by extremists to hide in plain sight.

Is this a good strategy? Is it successful? Too early to tell, I guess. But there is a historical precedent that suggests that it should be, in time.
> [...] at least for ICE engines where you can only achieve limited efficiency gains with higher temperatures and power densities.

More generally: all heat engines need high temperatures for efficiency. By Carnot's Theorem the best energy conversion efficiency you can hope for is (T_hot - T_cold) / T_hot

Where T_hot is the temperature of your combustion, and T_cold is the lowest temperature you can cool it too, ie ambient temperature at best.
This is why "defund the police" became a slogan: operational control against abuse just doesn't work, so the blunt instrument of reducing the amount of money for toys is the only one left.
The real nuclear terrorist threat comes from nuclear power plants, they are way less secure than governments want you to believe they are.

As we now know that they go boom once there is no more cooling, which occurs if there is a power outage (with failure of the backup diesel generators) or if there is a leak in the waterpipes.
