Short term Europe is fucked.
Long term Russia is fucked.

Ten years from now Europe will be importing gas from Quatar and Gabon. And even if hypothetically Russia conquers half of Ukraine it won't offset the loss of gas contracts.
There's a reason why OPEC only tried that oil embargo stunt once- alternatives are found.
There's a growing amount of shareholders and boards that care about more than direct monetary profits.

They also care about providing value / reducing costs in terms of e.g. sustainability.

Yeah separating out sets and reads is one of the reasons Redux exists.
That's a rare beast at most airports. Precheck lines are usually faster even if longer, because Precheck holders are more experienced fliers (they know the drill) and have less rigmarole to go through (shoes, belts, etc.).
This is a straw man argument.

Everyone, “western media” included is fully aware that not buying the gas is about cutting off the money for financing the war. No one is “spinning” a story around Russia arbitrarily cutting off supplies - we know it’s neither technical issues nor rouble payments that are the root cause here. It’s a literal unprovoked and premeditated war that someone is using to retain their firm grip on power.

We’re not buying the gas because we don’t want it. We might be “shooting ourselves in the foot” economically/industrially, but that is the price that must be paid if Europe is to be worth living in.

Yup, you're right. I've read several articles on this topic now and none really capture the full picture nor do they explain the issues with the existing system.

Travelling on the DB is not easy for several reasons, and even with this 9 eur ticket, it's not likely to shift very time sensitive travellers.

That said, most people would be willing to forgo that inconvenience for a price, and this ticket did that.
AFAIK in all of California there are only two real upstream providers for "residential Internet" and every - single - subscriber must pass through their gates. Think of the airport or a modern busy toll bridge in California.. you will be tagged, watched and recorded.. some people really believe this is the way society ought to be run.

To respond to the question: yes, it will.. it will polarize and strengthen the darknet, first. Your ordinary Calif. consumer will have to buy more things, second. Fines and lengthy, pointless court action, third.
And by time, you really mean money. Because if you send a DMCA notice and the hosting company ignores you, the next step is court. Can they afford to get justice? How much does it cost for an indie artist to take a fairly anonymous website host to court? How do you serve a company that's anonymous thanks to Cloudflare?
So, I don't think it is really necessary for there to be a perfectly bright line between the two. But for the sake of argument, I'll say that my opinion is that the compiler, linker, etc are part of the tooling, while the standard library is a library.

All of the libraries are linked to the project by some tooling, and a particular distribution of software could include any number of libraries (e.g., conda), I don't see why the standard library needs a special cutout.

It will get even more blurry if you start asking about runtimes, macros, and all-template libraries.

The title on HN is a bit silly.

Presumably they migrated from subversion to git. And then hosted their bare git repository Github to serve as their "central" repository.

So, where was their svn repository hosted before this?
Still seems to me like adding fluff - it seems a bit impossible to me that the AÍ would add anything pertinent to the plot. It would add “stuff” like corridors and background sets and maybe someone out of focus.

Do the black bars actually bother you that much? You know there are cropped 16:9 widescreen versions of some of these shows (which I personally detest, but I work in the business of moving images).

Genuinely interested in why this bothers people.
Unfortunately the venn diagram between "people who want a heavy remote for physical fitness reasons" and "people who will absolutely lose their minds when they find out it has lead in it no matter how safely you have encapsulated it" is pretty close to a circle.
Launch HNs are curated threads that we help YC startups write, and then place on the front page. This is one of three formal things (the other two are job ads and orange usernames for alumni) that HN gives back to YC in exchange for funding it. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html, which is linked at the bottom of every page. There are also lots of past explanations here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu....

We started doing Launch HNs in early 2017. You can see the complete list here: https://news.ycombinator.com/launches. The advice we give to YC startups about launching on HN is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/yli.html. The logistical parts only apply to YC cos, but the communication advice applies to everyone.

You're certainly right that not all these startups would make the front page through upvotes only, but we do work hard to write them up in a way that we hope will genuinely interest the community, and many of them end up getting a lot of upvotes and staying on the front page a long time.
> nobody took their content

According to the law, someone did.

Just because something's available on request from a server does not mean it's up for grabs.
Most of what you're describing isn't necessary for a bike. A fixie bike doesn't have a derailleur or freewheeling. And you can slow down without breaks.

You can even remove the chain. A penny-farthing bike is a surprisingly simple device. It is surprising it wasn't invented earlier.

My guess would be that they weren't invented earlier because they are not that useful without good roads.
I think technically you still make the outside warmer, once you account for heat leaking from the house and waste heat from the heat pump.
Charlie Munger Predicts Horrible Economic Crisis Where Everything Will Collapse
> Subversion was so undeniably superior that everyone was super happy and instant. Git took much much longer as the complexity vs. the win was much more debatable to people, so it's interesting to see this finally happening - I will miss linearly increasing revision numbers though.

p4 and then git were easy sells for large projects. while subversion was faster than cvs with its local hidden copy, many operations were still dog slow as they'd scan the whole repository (this was often worked around by creating lots of small repositories with associated wrapper scripts). p4 and git on the other hand were designed to handle large trees with ease. so for something on the scale of an operating system, browser, or both... the difference in productivity was significant. (tens of minutes vs single digit seconds for basic operations)
So only moderators can add new threads, and I assume users can post in threads, and I assume the users are the ones posting that the people should kill themselves. So how does this translate into the moderators or site operators/owners endorsing the content of user posts?

Edit: to be clear, "allowing content" does not entail "endorsing content" per my original reply.
Yeah not quite the same but very analogous because hooks are designed to compose much as pure functions do.
Okay That would be the JR softball question style, I guess we’re on the same page that that doesn’t count as a question.
> Is otherwise illegal, harmful, or violates the rights of others, including content that discloses sensitive personal information, incites or exploits violence against people or animals, or seeks to defraud the public.

Talk about a catch all term “… or is otherwise harmful …”

I understand there are examples, but this literally leaves the door open to anything they deem harmful. Free speech means enabling potentially “harmful” content. Really depends who seems something “harmful”. Dead naming on Twitter is considered “hate speech”, does that mean an old website that deadnames can be harmful?

Imo just stay out of the regulation business unless someone MAKES you. Otherwise it’s a slippery slope.

Which it appears they realized, after being rather aggressive in their “canceling” of others:

To be clear, just because we did it in a limited set of cases before doesn’t mean we were right when we did. Or that we will ever do it again.

My bet is they also opened the door to companies from Russia who would allow said free speech. From a business case, when I saw cloud flare drop customers I recommended everyone I know to move to someone else (at least one large company I know of moved due to this incident). Why risk your business with someone who arbitrarily changes policies and terms?
I really mean my original question. I think what CF is doing is trying to behave like a utility, and i think it's arguably in their best interest[1]. You seem to think that it's very obviously not in their interest. Care to elaborate on why?

[1] because their business scales very well, so they'd prefer to be considered reliable, so that competition doesn't have that available as a differentiator; any attempt at applying content-dependent rules either uses lots of heuristic automation or is reactive in response to Twitter storms, neither of which is predictable and reliable
No need to be sarcastic, both can be true. It's reasonable that you want to know where your children are, AND this desensitizes them to surveillance.
Unless both jobs are doing very similar things on the tech stack(so our brain does not context switch too heavily), but they're not competing in the same market(an ethical issue), I might still consider it, the chance is too low, so far I do one job and I actually can have a life.
Thing is it gets hard to get excited about every new “breakthrough” after twenty years of paying close attention to them. This inevitably means I’m late to the party on some things, but I don’t care.

Tech is a means to an end; specifically a way to make a living and hopefully buy myself out of the rat race.

If that isn’t “real hacker” enough for you then that’s fine. In my book, lifestyle design is the hacker ethos applied at the meta level.
Thanks for the comment Michael!

I 100% understand the "it's really hard to leave working but ugly code alone" sentiment", as I get the same feeling a lot of the time. That is one of the reasons I wrote this article.

I often have to fight myself to move on to do work on other things.
> So anyone on your LAN can visit the URL and download the CA private key?

No, the only files served to the LAN are the certificates, which contain the signatures by the CA of the public keys of other machines. Those are safe to distribute openly because they’re useless without the private key of the public key that was signed.
> to hydrocarbons from methane to jet fuel

It's rather backwards to pull CO2 from air - with all energy required - just to make it the jet fuel. Instead, stop running jets - except very exceptional, or some hydrogen-based, move to propellers - most jets are subsonic anyway, and move from regular plastics to biodegradable ones.

This article is about the latter. 37X looks surely tiny comparing to how much we need to scale CO2 atmosphere scrubbing...
There are no details here at all.
The linked page doesn't mention it, but the author of this article (Goldman) is a professor of law at Santa Clara University law school. So his reading of the text of the law and its likely interpretation is probably somewhat accurate (or at least more likely to be accurate than someone with no background in tech law).
They’ve splintered a ton over the years for sure, but there are still similarities. But yes, this isn’t like the first few years when Blink was just WebKit with V8.

But on the whole, Blink is still more similar to WebKit than it is to Gecko.
> legislation which is going to make it mandatory for farmers to dedicate x% of land to nature

Considering how badly the Dutch farmers have behaved thus far on any issue which “threatens” their way of life (profit maximization), I can only imagine how they will respond to this.

Maybe they will finally cross a line so bold that the Dutch government will stop bending over for them.
Sounds like a bulldozer. Love it!
We didn't have weeks long heatwaves over here a few decades ago.

20 years ago people still bought cars without AC, because we had like 10 actually hot days every year.

For the last 3-4 years people have been buying heat pump ACs like crazy every year, because the heat is getting unbearable.
Is that really what you get when you put all entity IDs in a set and iterate over those? Sure the component arrays are packed but that's kind of pointless if you're iterating over them in a random order (note that the system proposed here will also gradually destroy the ordering in the packed arrays).

Not that I know an easy way to keep a lists of components that ensure that iterating over them is anywhere close to cache-efficient. Perhaps some kind of self-ordering system would work? (you could for instance move components to consecutive positions as a system uses them, ideally in way that's stable so you don't mess up the ordering of other systems)
If we stop burning oil then it will last longer as feedstock for chemical processes.
To me there is a big difference between parent's rights and the government's rights. In a lot of ways kids could get more freedom because their parents can verify that they are where they are supposed to be. However, I do appreciate the concern for conditioning children into surveillance. I hadn't considered things from that perspective.
One of the additives I work with in pottery is labeled with a prop 65 warning. The only ingredient is silicon dioxide, aka sand.
First job after college was subbing in for a team doing a SOC2 audit. They sent me in to test AD. I googled AD before the client meeting to learn that it was this thing called Active Directory.

They had really well documented controls and the screenshot of the AD settings they sent me looked great in my report. (Yup - all AD settings in one screenshot).
Google’s Open Source Software Vulnerability Rewards Program
Am I missing something? Services are allowed to collect the data they need to perform their essential function right? (my reading says yes)

This just says: don't collect info on children you don't need and assume people are protected unless you verify otherwise.

Just don't collect the info you don't need. Seems straight-forward to me.
Ask HN: Share Your Resume?
Hey all,

------- TL;DR -------

Could you share your resume which got your through the first stage of the job application process for a good tech company.

--- Longer Version ---

I saw a job opening today that I want to apply for. This is my dream company and I don't like my chances.

I'm applying for a backend engineer position, with 3 years of professional experience. In the four after I graduated I have applied to over 200 positions an has gotten through the resume stage 3 times, and that's for a very poor companies.

There must be something wrong with my resume and the thought of editing it gives me a huge anxiety, since it feels like every word I choose can be a deal breaker between hire and not hire.

So, I thought that with a little inspiration and example I could improve it a lot.

More realistically the policies probably differ because they are different technologies and different use cases with different legal requirements.
Possibly. My recollection is that the foundation of SEAL training was by Draper Kauffman, based on bonding he saw between French volunteer combatants in WWII, and their "no man left behind" attitudes. In this sense, the link between danger and team bonding is pretty obvious.

However, a lot of the more famous parts of SEAL training are more about shared hardship and the need for teamwork than actual risk of life (see: Log PT). Admittedly, this aspect gets a lot more press because it's popular in corporate management circles (building high-performing teams, etc.).

I'm not sure if there's been much research one way or another.

Either way, I doubt creating fail-safes for some causes of SEAL training deaths will diminish the perception of danger (drug abuse, drowning while under supervision from trainers).

Congrats on the launch! Great to see more forward-thinking CMS solutions hitting the market.

We've been using Statamic[1] (built on Laravel) which is also a package that's sits atop the framework so you can build your app how you like and side-load CMS features.

It also features an API. The whole platform is steadily improving despite being a small bootstrapped team behind it.

If you're looking for something like Payload but for Laravel, give Statamic a go!

Yeah I think that's one of those features that comes in handy when you're developing on Windows with git

On their own SVN instance on WebKit.org (which is maintained by Apple)
Funny story: my first task when I joined the original iPhone team was to merge our forked WebKit with master. It was a sort of hazing ritual slash "when else would we do it but when someone new joins?". Anyways, we used a tool called SVK[1] in order to get very primitive "git-like" abilities. It was basically a bunch of scripts that used SVN under the hood. For example, in order to get the "local everything"-style behaviors of git, the very first thing it did was checkout every single version of the repository in question. For WebKit, this meant that the first day was spent leaving the computer alone and letting it download for hours. I made the mistake of having a space somewhere in the path of the target folder, which broke something or other, so I ended up having to do it all over again.

Anyways, I distinctly remember one of the instructions for merging WebKit in our internal wiki being something like "now type `svk merge`, but hit ctrl-c immediately after! You don't want to use the built-in merge, it'll break everything, but this is the only way to get a magic number that you can find stored in [some file] after the merge has started. If it's not there, try `svk merge` again and let it go a little longer than last time." A few hires later (I think possibly a year after) someone set up a git mirror internally to avoid having to do this craziness, which if I remember correctly, was treated with some skepticism. This was 2007, so why would we try some new-fangled git thing when we had svk?

It went down by $4B the day after he published his post. A one day drop isn't about their products or how they treat their customers.
I have a solution for my websites: I don't track people. They are just platforms for text and links. The desire to do tons of invasive tracking is what got us into this situation in the first place, and states like California (and the EU for that matter) want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. There's a lot of bathwater, so I can't say I blame them.
They don’t need more ownership: “The result is that Spiegel and Murphy own a whopping 99.5% voting control of the company.” - https://www.marketwatch.com/story/as-snap-melts-down-its-fou...
My guess for the reason is to make it possible to lay off people in france. Probably much easier to shut down the entire product than lay off part of the teAm
LOL. California is the 5th largest market in the world. Let sites decide they don't want to be browsed from CA - nothing of value would be lost.
Show HN: Plane Above Me
Experimented with the new sound recognition SDK in iOS; to expand our toolbox to create cool experiences.

I have always been fascinated by aviation. When an aircraft flies above me, I often wonder: what kind of airplane is it? A 737 or Bombardier? Where is it flying towards? At what speed?

How?

The app uses iPhone’s mic to sense the presence of aircraft sounds. Once detected, it calls flight data APIs, reads out the flight details, show photos of that particular aircraft above you and its current flight path on a map.

Cheers.
It’s a good list and I’ve referenced it a few times over the years.

I misunderstood your intent on #5.

I still think SSO is inappropriate because it’s going to bump you into enterprise tiers for random products when you need to be the most frugal with your burn. Going with 1Password or similar gets the job done. You 100% need SSO eventually and it does get harder to implement the longer you wait, but I still don’t think it’s worth it early.

I think MDM is still a thing for SOC2, but my point is that most startups will not need a SOC2 immediately and folks should be mindful of what moves the needle security wise vs what auditors want.
