The thing about polling people about superstition is that people generally believe their own beliefs, so you're only going to conclude that other people are superstitious when they believe things different from you. So at best you have a noisy metric of ~religious tolerance.

It seems like you misunderstood or are misrepresenting what I wrote.

While we have these kinds of submissions pretty regularly on HN, this is the first time in multiple years I've seen a reminder about this under almost every single negative comment and every comment containing critique. The reminder about the rule was even expanded to the whole concept of royalty.

My point is not that speaking ill of the dead should be encouraged, my point is the selective enforcement of that sentiment with only a special, priviliged group benefitting from it.

Edit after consideration: Whether criticizing the dead or not criticizing the dead should follow a general rule, I can't and won't comment on.
I also noticed it might be considering a more European usage of the word "bin". There were lots of trash cans in the results. The metadata might need to be regionalized.
Unless the whole team was complicit and malicious, there’s no need to fire them all for something like that. That would just performative and does nothing to fix any issues.

Housing can be investment even if it is in adequate supply and does not raise in value (above inflation), just from rents / saving from not-paying rent.
Aw, may she rest in peace. :(
The British Empire and Commonwealth may have fallen during her watch, but she wasn't the cause - Empire and its relics were increasingly relics of a different age and not something she or anyone could have averted.

My impression is that William benefited from just not being Charles, and some of the sheen rubbing off from his mother. Both of those things only go so far, and as he moves more and more into public responsibilities, he has more and more chances to bungle up. From the high of the early 2010s, the only way for him to trend was down, and its inevitable. William is, what, 40? Charles wasn't quite reviled when he was 40 too - he grew into that role.

Even if the monarchy isn't abolished outright before Louis or a sibling ascends, it's very possible that the United Kingdom in its current state may not. The unified crowns of England and Scotland may exist in title only, if that.
Python Pandas and Excel and GitHub Copilot
Is this something Python Pandas or Python Polars users are interested in?

Polars (alternative to Pandas) dataframes in code can be synced with tables in an Excel-like grid. Polars code can be generated based on natural language queries.

I'm interested in feedback (sam@getopapp.com). Thanks.

If they were scraped from Discord where others posted them, then they are scraped from a filtered source which contains only cherrypicked pictures that people chose to post, the ones they found interesting and good - it would be representative if and only if it had sampled also the pictures they generated but did not post.
Same here and in my opinion one of the reasons HN became what it is: they didn’t fuss with the interface, kept it simple and light. When old.redit stops working I’ll probably stop using it altogether.
Because it could not exist, because it is secret.

Also, the government has to request it. Another problem the UK has is: massively corrupt governments.

I think, a healthy dose of skepticism is in order. This news traces down to one LinkedIn post [0] from one person claiming that them "and the rest of the team" is no longer with the company and are looking for work.

They have 3 clear motivations to exaggerate the situation:

1. Disgruntled employee wanting the employer to look dumb.

2. Oversensationalize the news to attract more attention to their job search.

3. Oversell their role in the company in hopes of getting more interviews.

For what it's worth, "me and the rest of the security team" could be one person with a handful on interns doing an experimental project in the security area. Like, trying to achieve 100% formal validation of a massive codebase, on top of existing engineering practices. Such ambitious projects do get axed at the first sign of a downturn, and it would not be a reason for panic.

I would exercise caution and stick to quantifiable facts before concluding that Patreon is run by idiots.

Patreon would, in turn, have a motivation to deny the layoff, so the truth is somewhere in between. A good independent metric would be other verifiable LinkedIn users confirming that they got sacked as well.

I’ve heard multiple people who would know say that if someone plans a crime well and singly, there’s often a very good chance they’ll never be caught.

It’s repeat action that gets them.
Stripe is my #1, but lately I've found it's a little to terse on how some edge cases might be handled, or the shape of the errors I might expect.
Or whether the monarch was threatening to oust the government, using the army which is loyal to the monarch.
I don't think their comment was arguing that at all, and in fact it seems like an indefensibly uncharitable interpretation.

> ultimately taken from the people and maintained via favourable tax laws

Taken from the people and maintained via favorable tax laws. UK inheritance tax is 40% (over the threshold, which is so low as to be meaningless next to the royal estate). With 5 royal deaths since Victoria, Charles III would have less than 8% of what he actually does if that 40% were taken each time (which is obviously vastly oversimplifying to make a point).
a) Getting one is a routine process that requires objective standards be met, and costs nearly nothing.

b) Again, these are statewide and nationwide standards that are not subject to local administrative bodies' whims. If your wiring meets standard, you're allowed to do it. You don't have to apply to the county and have them decide that the rest of the neighborhood uses Romex, so your MC armored cable won't "fit".

c) Again, these are uniform standards. No subjectivity or rigourous meetings required for each installatino

d) See my responses above. All manufacturers are playing on the same field, and don't have to get permission for every single aesthetic change. If Toyota decides they're offering fuchsia as a color option next year, then can just do that. So long as the clearly-defined standards are met.

e) See my responses above

f) But the county doesn't get to dictate which ingredients can be paired together. If my local hipster burger joint wants to offer a peanut butter and sardines burger, they can just do that. No government review required on how tasty it will be.

g) Agreed! Free market ideologies are not the same as anarchism, but many people on seem to conflate the two. For a market to be free, there needs to be a minimum of information asymmetry and a minimum of uncertainty. All participants should ideally know the rules of the game as they enter. If I buy a property, I should have full confidence that I can build A or B or C, and also be clear that X, Y, or Z will be prohibited.

A free market doesn't mean an unfettered one. It just means that pricing is transparent, rules are objective (and known!), and the so called "playing field" is level. There are a minimum of case-by-case decisions, or rules that favor one class over another.
Still have my money on Darkhorse showing promise to actually work at least.
I think so, many planes are like this: the transonic regime has the highest drag. It's not as simple as v^2, you have to consider the compressibility effects (wave drag where the pressure wave moves along with the plane, like a bow wave on a ship). Flying faster also means you can fly higher in lower density air, so the indicated airspeed (proportional to density * v^2) is reduced.
Not all criticism. I posted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32769925 because the thread was filling quickly with bottom-of-the-barrel stuff at the time. Edit: I mean comments like these (chosen at random):

Once that sort of comments were no longer so prominent, people thought I was asking them to say nice things about the monarchy. It took me a while to realize what was causing the misunderstanding, and once I did I demoted my post. It was basically a victim of its own success.
> The idea that local municipalities get to decide, arbitrarily and subjectively, what is "compatible with the neighborhood," means that property rights do not exist.

I have a hard time reconciling this. Because I also can’t help but think local governments deciding what they want for their neighborhood is the most direct form of democracy and overriding that at higher levels of government seems to be not ideal. Given that we agree that some level of laws and regulations must exist, it seems that we’re just adjusting our goal posts. If you’re a property my rights absolutist then you have to also accept edge cases, like Trump flags and 4x4s tearing through someone’s backyard, or someone painting their house in pink stripes since it’s “their house”. What kind of NIMBY are you to deny someone selling their home to someone who wants to open an auto repair shop? You have to accept these the same as you accept a new condo tower. You can’t pick and choose here and then go back and claim “well this is reasonable and this other thing is not” because people can equally claim a condo tower isn’t reasonable. In the case of particularly desirable places I think it’s just a case of too bad, that’s life. Nobody is entitled to live anywhere in particular at an affordable rate regardless of their priors. The alternative that you would believe this is the case means someone can endlessly complain that they can’t live in Vancouver with a view of the sea for $500/month.

Now on the more reasonable spectrum you can ok I’m not talking about all of that, I’m talking about a new high-rise in a downtown area. Sure, and that’s more likely to actually happen to so I’m not sure what the problem is.

“But teachers and wage workers will be priced out”. Yep. And either wages will rise and residents will be paying $70 for a latte, or they won’t get to have those things because of their anti-development NIMBY points of view and they’ll either accept that life or they’ll give in to change.

At the end of the day it’s all arbitrary and subjective. I think it’s arbitrary that we build highways for cars and subjectively believe that it’s a huge waste of money. That’s messy democracy.
You're raising an interesting point, but you're coming close to saying that communities are bad, and in my experience they don't have to be. Even ones based around a product.

Near where I used to live in the Valley, there was a real-world club for enthusiasts of a particular weird antique car. Not toxic, just eccentric. They just liked getting together and drinking in a nearby pub and showing off how they'd restored this or that aspect of the car.

I think our goals should be to replicate that kind of success.

I think the other posters in this thread have it right, that the reason why we usually can't is because our metrics are all about selling audiences to advertisers.
That’s a fair point, but the amount of money needed for those things isn’t insanely high for me. I don’t have kids, don’t own a car, and have pretty low living expenses.

There’s always another job to get. I can always spend less. If something’s truly catastrophic (like healthcare), I just wouldn’t pay the bill. I rent (not interested in owning property) so my exposure there is pretty limited.

I have a pretty big stack of credit cards and would just use those if I absolutely had to. I don’t carry a balance on them now so that’s a lot of freedom in a truly worse-case-scenario.

Plus, I have a chronic illness so I tend to not be too worried about long-long-term. How long do I really want/need to sustain myself for?
Normally you'd think its just right wingers and yeah a lot of their garbage ends up demonetized but its also people that are pro-Union, anti-establishment (right wing and left wing), people who are anti-empire/anti-war/anti-Israel/Pro-palestine (Abby Martin for example). Craziest example I heard of recently is people who post anti-Tesla videos are getting attacked and demonetized by their fanboys.

I love the example of ancient texts that decry how the youth don’t listen to their elders any more and the lords are getting stingier with the taxes every season. It’s a universal feeling.
That guy from Pomplamoose taking Patreon to VCs is what killed it.
Good point. I also can’t help but notice their CEO monetizes almost entirely on YouTube with scary pockets and other videos.
>> It's not like suburbia is going to line up in droves to have their house converted into a duplex.

That's just not true! People would do that in the neighborhood I live in now in Los Angeles if they could because it would allow you to make the same piece of real estate about 1.5x times as valuable.

More interestingly, in Piedmont California where I grew up, there is a lot of controversy about this. That's an area that is very desirable -- great schools, pretty, close to San Francisco -- but also really expensive. Because its been a nice area for a long time many houses are on huge lots or even have servant's houses (!) that can be built up into a pretty nice house. Of course a lot of the neighborhood hates the idea of converting a single family lot into two homes even under these posh circumstances. But the economic incentives are powerful. I see it happening on my parent very fancy street.

PS: One of the things that really bugs me (in my neighborhood and where I grew up) is when home owners argue about preserving the local character. I grew up in city where my mom and grandmother grew up. The house I grew up in was an adjacent piece of land that once had a single house. Now the neighbors would freak out if you took these large plots of land and built two houses on them or god forbid a duplex. But the truth is they haven't lived their that long and if they did they would know that the neighborhood has always been changing. I wish they could make peace with that.
Given it's a big lot, could they just build a granny flat somewhere on the edge, and it would become a "development" as it's 2 units? There's a cost obviously, but small units like that aren't _too_ expensive
Also, it's slightly bizarre that you think parliament has been "pro-economic-growth", but that hasn't been the case since the collapse of the post war consensus in 1979, when it simply became pro profit-growth.
I'm not trying to be sarcastic or snarky here: is this a serious suggestion that one hundred duplexes (net gain of about 100 housing units I would imagine) is a significant change? Or is there a unit error here?
It's not that straightforward.

For the Creator, even if you exclude the things that interact with Patreon to do the benefit-management bits, you have to also do any KYC/Identity verification bits, re-setup account transfers.

Then you need to reach out to all your supporters and convince them to move over. They're going to lose some percentage of those people -- how much is going to depend on the creator and the fanbase. Some people are just going to ignore it, every single one of them though are going to re-evaluate that math in their head as to whether they really want to continue supporting that person.

Patreon also has major brand-awareness. Someone telling you to move over to SubscribeStar, Liberapay, Buy Me a Coffee or whatever might get a "This seems like a scam" type reaction.
Security teams hedge risk and respond to realized risk (security incidents).

Unless it is the fuck ups of all fuckups, companies that fire security teams for a security gap that got hacked will never be able to hire a security team again that’s competent. They’ll get people trying to break into the industry, but not capable vets.

Behind 99% of security incidents is a lack of funding, staffing, or “no we have to deploy to prod soon, sorry.” The very large sprawl that Series B -> pre-IPO sec teams have to address is staggering. Pre-IPO is usually the latest point that funding, staffing, support shows up.

Stoplight looks great, but I'm wondering if there are any open source alternatives?
Minneapolis did not change the zoning sufficiently -- the new duplexes and triplexes nearly have to fit into the same footprint as the equivalent single family home. So you can have one big SFH or two half-sized duplexes, etc.

For a single family home, the footprint can't take up more than 50% of the lot. For a duplex, the footprint can't take up more than 60% of the lot. Duplex and triplex projects could be made much more compelling by loosening these restrictions.

Can you provide any sources on Texas having grid issues because of renewables? The biggest publicized issue I'm familiar with was caused by inadequate maintenance of fossil-fuel-based generation facilities - during that period of time renewables produced the expected amount of energy for the weather conditions. Of course that expected amount wasn't their peak output, but that's something you plan for if you're competently managing your grid.
Things don't always have to be perfect. It's a personal preference.
While I appreciate the helpful suggestion the first part won't really work and but the second part is fair playing the sound at a low level could help with the experience.

What I mean is this is my memory of the cinema and what I enjoyed. Digital achieves "Perfection" but in a way which is lifeless for film. From the point of view of a projectionist every machine had it's own quirks when running a film. I used to run 7 machines in one cinema and once you got to know the tone of the place you would often hear something starting to go wrong before seeing it. A click that shouldn't be there or a platter sounding rough as you laced a film up. The work was interesting in ways that digital never will be. I also prefer some things in electronics to be analogue rather than digital. And no matter the bit rate always remember digital is only ever a close approximation of that colour or that shape it's never perfect. However it may get to a point where the eye can't see the difference and the ear can't hear the difference but it's still only an approximation. I get it I like old tech if that's a crime shoot me.

Edited to clarify and add more context
This has not gutted the law, as I see it. The state's interest in the HAA and its enforcement by HCD is exclusively in multi-family development, at least duplexes and usually larger. Cities cannot include single-family developments in their housing elements, for example.

The ability for a city to approve or deny SFHs will have no impact on the housing situation in the state.
I think you need to meet some of the NIMBYs where I live.
Evil exists. You’re rationalizing pure logic. If I stalked you, terrorized you, did the most irrationally consistently irrational things to anything in your world and those near you, you’d be hard pressed to call me anything other than driven by evil.

Was melting the film that common?

I was an usher and witnessed it once at the end of the credits. I radioed into box, as we called it, that the film was melting on screen. Next thing I hear feet pounding from the projection room and the light shone on the screen became dimmer and the burnt corona of the film disappeared from view.
