I've never understood the hate for HTWFaIP... sure it's folksy and seems phony on the surface, but his core message works across time and generations - take an interest in the people you meet, as that becomes the basis of relationships. I'm an introvert, I stutter when I get nervous around people, but internalizing the core message of that book has helped me throughout life to connect with people and step outside my comfort zone consistently.

The biz I'm at is on VOIP. We've still got a hot landline for the security system, and I've got a wicked Pentium II machine, Hayes modem, and dial-up account at the ready.

NOT that I can push the ERP system to everyone, if, but my hope is that this one machine would be our lifeline to data.
Foolishness =/= decline.
It doesn’t deny causation, either.
Which requires lots of electric power.
The current administration has gone back and forth on this. Initially the policy was to be as "Un-Trumpy" as possible on border policy, but that had the predictable effect of encouraging more illegal immigration simply by changing the narrative in the source countries. Now they've quietly restarted a fair amount of border wall construction but their options for solving it logistically are very limited, as the only way to address the massive influx is to rapidly scale the personnel on the border which can't be done overnight (unless the National Guard is used, which would be completely rejected by the liberal base).

If you're interested in unfiltered perspectives, I would encourage you to focus on articles that specifically quote active Border Patrol agents who are working on the border. It's quite different than anything you hear from Washington DC.
ACT | The App Association was Apple's answer to Epic's Coalition for App Fairness. Basically, vehicles that allowed both parties to file amicus briefs against one another in the name of small business app developers.

If they target a good niche it could be a career. I don't mean the traditional "influencer" type that I think of with vapid content pushing products. I mean more like a content creator type on youtube but with other social media presences, its the same concept but niched down.

A niche I follow people in, woodworking, there are several that have quit day jobs and produce content. One in particular has reached over 100k in revenue from making content about building workshop stuff. These are people that are creating things though - plans for sale, funny merch, and instructional content that is helpful. In some ways the content is timeless.

To me I think the corollary to software is devs (like me) that wanted to pursue becoming a solo or indie software shop. So I say go for it to the Gen-Zers but have alternate plans or a fallback as well if it doesn't pan out.
Tires aren't air pollution, I think, it's mostly seen as a microplastic in water/rivers/seas issue as they get washed down drains from the road.
I don't think it's objective badness but more the perceived and probably real lack of social mobility.
Amazon took all US solar rooftops offline last year after flurry of fires
let's put it into context, to some people, becoming a TikTok/Hollywood star or work for FAANG or whatever is just a way to achieve financial independent, a mean to an end.

Think about the fact that some of these "stars" now has so much money they start doing charity, while the righteous salary men are still saving for their investment property or whatever.
“Fog Reveal” sounds marketed to gamers and military cosplayers. Chilling to think that’s who’s making decisions in police departments.
Ok, sorry about that, I'll try to follow the rules. But what's the fun in message boards if you can't have some snark and spirit once in a while :)? I can take it, as well as give it, btw.
In practice, this will likely mean $30 Belkin cables have logos, while $10 cables from Amazon sellers with randomly-generated all-caps names do not.

I love System76 laptops. They are definitely crafted for developers. And I love their keyboard as well.
It did start good and the presentation format was impressive.

The problem ended up being the author lacks self-awareness of her own biases and getting tribal in her own way in the later half.

They serve a purpose here though, to get the college to slow their roll when it comes to attacking businesses without the full story. Sounds like a mob reaction to me, juries can be right sometimes, ya know?
Well, they were disabled in the first version of GNOME 3 (2011) and you had to jump through hoops to re-enable them. I think from that it's clear they're not intended to be used.

Thank you. These are really good suggestions. Really like the calculator idea. I agree with you on the website target audience. I was thinking employee's would want to solve the problem and suggest it to their work. That's why things look the way they do now. But, I suspect you're right. Target the company directly vs the employees.
> But the desire for fame it induces in people, especially young ones, is not one of them.

For me, it's not the desire for fame that's concerning, it's how everyone is equipped to become an influencer and the lengths people will go through to achieve their goals.

The scary thing to me (and this isn't unique to children) is how many people are willing to lie and put out disinformation in order to generate a following, and I'm not just talking politics here. People were sharing their own baby formula recipes when that shortage spiked, regardless of whether or not it was actually safe for babies to consume. If young people feel that the best way for them to succeed financially is to become an influencer, they're gonna prioritize the fame and money above putting out high-quality content if they're serious about reaching their goals.
We’ve told every kid in Gen Z that they need to go to college and become coders. But a majority of the population is not qualified to do that. Even if they go to college, they’ll be getting the same job they would have gotten a generation ago without a college degree because that’s what they’re qualified to do. And a lot of them are smart enough to realize that. What they don’t have—because boomer parents failed to properly socialize them—is a conception of a fulfilling and dignified life that’s actually attainable to them.
Actually you do. Longer fibers need more repeaters, and the ideal fiber on land is strung down pipes (this allows later capacity upgrades). Both of these are cheaper if existing roads are paralleled.
USB has always eered to being as permissionless as possible.
With all due respect, a person doesn't have to be that smart to cut and paste something from a Google search while not completely understanding the consequences.
A deeper dive into World Wide Wind's colossal, contra-rotating turbines
Excellent article! I too have moved towards buying refurbished laptops only and using them for as long as I can. Thinkpads are a decent line for this as they're built to be user-serviceable and have a great market for parts.

The hard part is actually the software. Many industry developers will definitely choose convenience and ease-of-development over most other priorities like efficiency. Operating systems as well.

My refurbished Thinkpads all run stripped down Linux distributions. I recommend getting a good battery and tweaking the power settings to get the best life out of them (eg: https://austingwalters.com/increasing-battery-life-on-an-arc...)
They can pay someone to do it.
You're right however what he is saying I suspect is more about the perception of leading as opposed to actually leading.

Before clicking this, I imagined it was going to be some journey through progressive scaling problems of a massive distributed system, e.g. first PostgreSQL broke, then the Cassandra cluster's defaults settings broke, then their monorepo build tools, then Git itself, then Mesos, then the Linux kernel.

I'm a bit disappointed.
Just a reminder that not everyone uses Chrome, or has Google as their default search engine.

Stop trying to make new standards, start stabilizing on a definite version for now and get manufacturers to support it.
Wow. This is the most... HN comment I've seen in a while.
Buddy of mine sent a picture years ago of a guy who brought his iMac into the local Starbucks and did his work there on that machine, at a table, for hours.

Not complaining, just feedback
Valid points but:

>I absolutely accept and respect whomever wishes to live in the past but technology is in the now.

>Advocating obsolte hardware is just wrong.

I disagree; technology is simply a means to an end. If the user, being informed of alternatives, is satisfied with the experience, it's the right tool for the job.
Sadly, in this case it's the 8GB machine falling over.
Many people love the book "Normal Accidents", and I agree that it has some good ideas, but it is FULL of these improper nouns.
Of course it isn't. But this assumes that anybody who wants to become an astronaut attempts any of those prerequisites.

"Planning to become" something when you're 16 years old has very little connection in reality with what you actually end up doing. When I was 16, I wanted to be a biologist (definitely a step down from my original plan to be a dinosaur). I ended up being a computer programmer with a completely unrelated degree.
When do you think TEL was introduced to auto fuel?
My new favorite laptop is my 11" ThinkPad 11e. It cost around US$200, it has 4 cores, 8GB of RAM, and a (small) NVME SSD. The battery lasts a full work/play day. The screen resolution is satisfactory for its size (1366x768), however I do wish the panel had better viewing angles.

On top of that it has 1Gb ethernet, full size HDMI, mini-SD card, USB-C charging, and a great little keyboard.

As a longtime "mac person" this capable, but ugly little laptop feels a bit freeing. I don't have to dote over it, worrying about breaking a $2k laptop, I get all the ports I need, and linux just works.
Sounds like Ohio government will have to step in and threaten to revoke their status as an institution for not paying.
What Your Scanner Doesn't Find Can Hurt You
> another thing that requires evidence.

Now how, exactly, would someone provide "evidence" that there was a coverup?

In Watergate, Leon Jaworski went to elaborate lengths to prove it with conversations, statements by collaborators, written documents, etc. Do you expect ordinary people to have that?

So we're left with extremely strict standards from "fact checkers" when Trump says anything, and "hey, what the hell, he meant well" when Biden says something blatantly wrong. For example:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-ar-15-bullet-gun/

So they rate this a "correct attribution" even though they say "the President's claim is false."

I'm glad you're done here. Otherwise, you'd have to go to even more insane contortions now.
x220 was amazing, can confirm. had it for 10 years and finally sold it after the 2nd battery that i replaced needed replacing. one of the best keyboards in a laptop, great solid case that was dropped countless times without an issue. i even took it for djing in clubs. what a machine.
How much equity to give to employees (seed) – a curated collection of advice
Note that the memory usage _could_ potentially be significantly improved for the JVM by just using an alternative allocator, such as jemalloc. In our system, we saw, in some instances, native memory usage decrease by about 60%, and it also resolved a slow "leak" that we saw, since glibc was allocating memory, and not returning it to the OS. In our case it was because we were opening a lot of class loaders, and hence zip files, from different threads.
I already did and I asked the question: what if this is postponing real action? I imagine a world with no credits, where companies can't greenwash what they do, and instead do a meaningful change. We would be better off.

The SM7B is just trendy because a lot of famous podcasters use one. For just recording dialog, or doing video calls something simpler would be just fine.

Getting super high end with microphones is only really applicable in the music industry IMO.

Fun fact: Michael Jackson recorded the vocals for Thriller on an SM7B.
Nah. Your interpretation is undoubtedly correct. I've been on HN 12 years now and I've become used to the increase in Western chauvinism over the recent years – mostly all of it led by US sentiment. The implication above is that the US is part of the civilized world (colloquially called "The West") and that China (and presumably Russia, and Iran, and Venezuela, and Cuba, et al) are part of the uncivilized world.

See, for instance, on this page where Hume speaks of civilized versus uncivilized forms of government: “This chapter examines Hume's conception of government. It considers three forms of government that Hume distinguishes: barbarous monarchy, civilized monarchy, and free government (with its two subdivisions, limited monarchy and republic).” So civilized is contrasted with barbarous. https://academic.oup.com/book/12307/chapter-abstract/1618482...

You'd think with SMIC demonstrating 7nm production ( as detailed in depth in this video by Asianometry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQGnwKBxAKk ) you'd think that the US had gotten the hint that the tech cat is out of the bag – or the tech genie has escaped the lamp or whatever metaphor you prefer … A comparison of SMIC's 7nm process versus the competition: https://www.techinsights.com/blog/smic-7nm-truly-7nm-technol...

My prediction is that SMIC joins TSMC, Intel, Global Foundries, and Samsung at the top tier of semiconductor manufacturing by 2030, along with an ecosystem of Chinese design and manufacturing companies. In doing so the West's stranglehold on other companies like Huawei will be over. If Russia can survive the punitive Western sanctions until then it'll no longer be hampered by lack of access to high-end Western technology.
> The insurer notes, though, that the risk of fires in both EVs and combustion vehicles is overstated. Statistically, it found that just five of every 10,000 vehicles fall victim to fire.

> There is one area in which EVs are likelier to cause accidents, and that’s under acceleration. The high, instant torque of electric motors is leading to circumstances in which EV drivers stab the throttle then lift off, sometimes leading to a loss of control and a crash.

It also mentions the increasing weight of the vehicles and the resulting increased forces, leading to more damage.
The Art of Reading the News (2021)
The dumbest part about this is that it’s only _partial_ dragnet surveillance. They’re surveilling a biased sample of the population that installs sketchy apps on their phones. I’m betting there are more Android users in this dataset than the general population. In a way, by using Android you’re actually increasing your chances of false imprisonment.

This problem of not-enough-novelty in YouTube's recommendations is exactly why I am working on a team to develop alternative YouTube recommendations. Search a channel name to get a list of similar channels.

As an example: our recommendations for Tesla's channel includes James Locke, a small channel (~10k subscribers) with a researcher working on Full Self Driving for Tesla vehicles. There are also dozens of Tesla driving, electrification, and investing channels along with channels for some of Musk's other companies like The Boring Company on the list:

Researchers Propose Inflatable Village on the Moon
I was in your situation circa 2002/3. Here the journey I took; Since I couldn’t earn money while on H-1B, I focused on an open source project that I ended up monetizing after I got my green card. It was the best option that turned out to be perfect way to bootstrap a company / project.

It was longterm play but it worked for me. Perhaps there are better options now - I would say you need to talk to immigration attorney to be sure. Also worry about making sure your current employment contract (non competent etc) is not an issue down the road.

PS: Forgot to mention that EB-5 (investments visa) is a quicker option if you have $500k-$1M to invest.
First I am using your links alone, I am not "looking into things" you make the claims it is up to you to provide the sources to back them. in addition to free speech I am big proponent of another concept I bet you oppose, innocent until proven guilty, if you are going to make the claim a site should be scrubbed from the planet it is upon you to convince others of that, not just make the statement. I am #ShowMetheEvidence not #BelieveAllClaims

Second I am not disputing a swatting occurred, I am disputing that the swatting was a direct result of the ownership of Kiwi Farms or supported by the Ownership (or even the majority of the members) of the site.

Nowhere in any of your sources to the Police attribute the swatting to Kiwi Farms

I'm glad that Framework exists for the primary reason Kris mentions in this article. Though on a side note, I think the chassis is ugly but for some reason I like the XPS laptops which aren't all that much more attractive. Maybe it's a branding thing. I digress. I'm typing this on a desktop that is a decade old, and I just Ship of Theseus'd it over the years.[1][2][3][4][5]

I hope that this becomes more common for laptops soon. I think there's potential for an ATX-for-laptops layout, though I admit that would probably lead to slightly chonkier notebooks than what we use today. Maybe not though! Framework did it.

You're saying Trump's DOJ and FBI threatened FB with _______ unless they blocked the spread of the Hunter Biden laptop story?

FB didn't even ban the story though? Even if FB is suppressing information at the request of the FBI, there are hundreds of other news sources out there that people can use. I don't use Facebook, especially not for news consumption.

Here's a more concrete example:

Trump's DOJ threatened FB with removal of section 230 protection, or complete shutdown in Twitter's case, unless they stop censoring news stories that these companies believe to be false or misleading.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattperez/2020/05/28/trump-sign...

Private companies should be free to allow or disallow whatever they want at their discretion on their private platforms, left or right. If I owned a social media platform, I would also probably block stories that I think are false, because I don't think that being known as a platform for the spread of misinformation would be good for my brand. I don't complain about Facebook or Twitter's censorship, and I don't complain about Truth Social or Parler, all are private companies that can do what they want as far as I'm concerned. I don't get my news from any of those sources, no one should.
