My American sister in law does this when she's posting stuff from America to her non-American relatives. Her parcels tend to bounce around America until some postal worker figures out she meant the original Worcester, or wherever.

Right, but what alternative? The people who pay for the production of that alternative will want to make a profit, so if you don't like the way Youtube makes a profit, be careful with assuming anything about a hypothetical future alternative.
And Russia isn't about to sink American ships. Yet.

Here is NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg talking about moving American nukes to Eastern Europe. [0]

"The alternative to NATO nuclear sharing is different kinds of bilateral arrangements and also the risk of having, you know, nuclear weapons also . . . so, of course, Germany can, of course, decide whether there will be nuclear weapons in your country, but the alternative is that we easily end up with nuclear weapons in other countries in Europe, also to the east of Germany."

And please don't use the word 'whataboutism' unless you want to say "I have double standards."

This is incorrect. You cannot exercise ISOs after 90 days post-employment. What you pay to the company at exercise isn't time dependent: the strike price is fixed at time of grant. What you may be referring to is the AMT, which does fluctuate depending on FMV at time of exercise, but that doesn't affect the 90-day limit.
Those that need unstoppable transactions are willing to pay the 10'000 satoshi fee on a transaction with arbitrary amount.
That's a bad metaphor, given that the point in question (vaccination) isn't a treatment (water) at the time of severe infection.

It's analogous to meteorologists who don't believe in climate change: yes, it's kooky, but it's also not the job they're doing.
The PC games done by 2015 nee Infinity Ward were basically them getting to do whatever they wanted, vs being handed a prepared design bible as was common for 2nd party dev in that era. That team absolutely deserves credit for what people commonly call MoH. Great you loved the PSX games. You're rather alone in considering them the same thing in all but brand.
They that the face which you put the bolts through is flat. On older cars it was concave.
Sort of not related at all, but I decided to try FB marketplace for selling a couple of extra laptops. And oh-my-gawd, it's even worse than Craigslist. In first 24 hours this pattern with semi obvious fake accounts trying to buy the laptop has repeated already 3 times (and come on FB, I refuse to believe you cannot detect this crap if you actually wanted to, and at minimum WARN the seller that you're likely dealing with oredatory buyer):

Me: <lists the laptop at marketplace; pick up only>
Daryl: Is this still available?
Me: It's still available
Daryl: okay good. did you have an idea if what the shipment cost to Scotland?? I want to get it for my Scottish girlfriend. I'm currently in Scotland
Me: No dice. If you want it, come pick it up from Santana Row. I'll sell for cash only.

I don't know what's the actual scam here, but all these guys ask (in Spanish too btw) Is it available? If yes, they have some excuse for wanting it NOW, but not being able to pick it up, and then ask me to use a courier etc. Suckers!

In a way, I’m kinda fine with this.

There a lot of things that make a car feel faster, and giving them higher displacement engines and louder exhausts has more disadvantages than it’s worth for most people.

You can get the same experience with slightly more cabin noise (that doesn’t annoy your neighbours), a longer first gear, kickdown pedal, etc.

It’s kinda like Coke Zero. If you can get 95% of the same experience, why opt for the sugar?
I think it's actually not - they mean the side face of the wheel, https://images-stag.jazelc.com/uploads/theautopian-m2en/cher...

They're talking about the wheels, not the tyres.

It's not easy, but still something you can try to work on with your manager. It's possible that he's not doing this work himself, although he really probably should–in that case, you're going to have to pick up the slack. Part of management is being receptive to opportunities that allow your junior engineers to grow. Sure, it might take the senior two days while it takes you a month, but if he keeps assigning you simple tasks there's no room to let you actually advance to being a senior yourself. And that's just a bad way to run a team.

The best way I have found to bridge the information gap is to actively bring it up during your 1:1s. Managers typically have an idea of what you "need to know" that is based on their idea of your current task. It's not always accurate and they may not always be able to see why from their vantage point. "I was working on project X and ended up being blindsided by changes from team Y, which blocked me for a week" is a really strong argument that you should perhaps be included in meetings with team Y. "I hear you and the team lead talking about our stack for Z a lot, I'm not really familiar with that. Can you tell me more about what's going on with it/can I get some time to work with it to get up to speed/where can I get information on it?" can help start a conversation on something you've just heard about. Keep abreast of "rumors" of where various teams are going and see if they have mailing lists or other places where they post general information for "stakeholders" (of which you are not, but often these are digests for people–often upper management–who are not fully familiar with the team, which would is useful for you too).

Of course, this requires work from your side, probably on top of your existing duties. Ideally you have a manager who is sympathetic to such efforts for the reasons I outlined above. A two-way communications channel is key. It's always possible that he'll tell you to keep your head down and that this stuff is "above your paygrade" but there's really not much you can do about a manager who is bad at his job ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that there exist people who are vaccine skeptics and are trained to a higher skill in life support than I am.

I try not to judge people completely based on a single characteristic.
Listen, Monads are fine, Functors are fine, use them wherever and whenever you like. The problem I have with them is that they are making things explicit that are intuitively clear (Monads more than Functors). That is useful in some situations, but in most situations it is not, and just uses up precious brain capacity. If you go to the shop, you are not expecting someone at the entrance telling you that you have to pay for what you buy, and before paying, you are not telling the cashier that you are going to pay them now. You just do it.

Show HN: ViruSaas – Virus Checks as a Service
Hi all,

here is a side project I've just launched which might come in handy for certain situations.

It's a very simple and free "do one thing and do it well" online service with exactly one feature: you upload a file, and it tells you — based on a ClamAV check — if that file contains a virus or not.

I'm not having any ambitious plans with this project, but thanks to very low operational costs, I thought I can as well put it out there and keep it alive — maybe it's even useful for some people every now and then (just today, one of my coworkers forwarded me a fishy-looking email with an attachment, and using virusaas.com turned out to be the least painful way to do this kind of one-off check for a virus).

I've also released the source code of the web app under GPLv3 at https://github.com/hygieia-saas/hygieia-webapp, although it's not as polished as it could be (no tests, for example — but see above, no ambitious plans).

The main reason to do the project was to follow through with my own tutorial at https://manuel.kiessling.net/2021/05/02/tutorial-react-singl..., which worked out quite nicely.
Italy:

from Turin to Florence (temporary, 5 years 1865-1870)

In theory Rome was the capital of the new Reign of Italy since 1861, but in practice Rome became "available" only 10 years later.
> having an airgapped computer holding the wallet keys

That's basically a hardware wallet (not 100% "airgapped" but the same idea). And yes you obviously you can use it as a currency that way.

Still I agree that crypto is too complex for the average person and I wouldn't trust my mom to not lose it or get scammed.
It's not about the tires, it's about the wheels (maybe calling them "rims" makes the connection).

The parts of the suspension the wheel turns on are pushed out towards the center of the contact patch on newer cars to reduce the forces that feed back to the steering wheel. The different steering system used on older cars benefited from those larger forces (because the systems didn't have good feedback).
I actually normally use my headphones through my phone, but I doubt ios is doing anything differently compared to macos.

The point isn't that there's only so much bandwidth for mic + headphones, the point is that the bluetooth stack on Windows just doesn't work. I tried connecting multiple bluetooth headphones (Airpods, Beats, Sony) to a new Windows 11 computer (Microsoft Surface). I only got one set paired and it defaulted to the headset profile immediately. It was horrible. The others never connected or the connection was unreliable.

The process was so bad, my son recently bought a set of wired headphones just to avoid the entire issue.

If you've never been in the Apple garden and used headphones + device, it's a night and day difference in experience.

Until you don't like the very high price of your medical bill, especially for senior folks.

For those that can afford a medical bill of over $100k and I'm guessing that given the majority in this orange site are complaining about over a trillion in prices by insurers, and hospitals my suspicion tells me that they cannot and is unacceptable to them which is why I'm not surprised why everyone here [0] continues to complain about it for decades.

Those are the small prints, but what I am saying is for those who want a republic in the UK are going to wait a long time for that, and they might as well move to the US instead. But it seems that as evident in this orange site full of well off technologists living in the US, they are still complaining in [0]. So I will expect people who are less well off to complain even more in the US.

I'm in the banking API space. Yes, the current technology is decrepit and garbage. It's not the bottleneck though. Risk management and underwriting is. If you want to build a SaaS in this space, the hard part is figuring out how to vet customers cheaply and quickly. Every customer you sign up is a potential OFAC (Office of Foreign Access Control), BSA (Banking Secrecy Act), or AML (Anti-Money Laundering) violation.
If you approach people one at a time and make them personal offers that they accept, you can be pretty sure you end up with people who want to work for you and have at least some initial loyalty and desire to stay. If you acquihire then you end up with a lot of people who feel like they've been forced to work for you and will be looking for the quickest possible exit.
I mean if it's helpful to you, people can deconstruct the meanings of their colloquialisms so it's more clear, but for most English speakers it's not really necessary. Are you ESL?

If I told someone "we'll be working on this report til the cows come home", I wouldn't expect that it's necessary to explain that the expression doesn't actually have anything to do with cattle, and instead just means I'm expecting this to take a long but indeterminant amount of time. If someone found it clever to point out what I _actually_ meant, I wouldn't find their input very helpful, just socially unintelligent and annoying.

Usually it's more helpful to just research what an expression means, rather than trying to argue about what you personally think it _should_ mean.

The ultimate conclusion that human population and economic activity are bad does not follow. We have only just started to begin working with efficient resource management and renewable energy sources.

Just to point out some natural counterexamples trees dropping their leaves seasonally is a fairly recent catastrophic pollution situation that nature has dealt with in ways that actually increase biomass. Large ruminant herds actually propagate productive environments which we learned when trying to quantify the damage done by their activities. So it is entirely possible that a large population of humans with high economic activity could actually interact positively with the environment. The problem is that we have barely even begun to experiment with how this might work.
Actually, that is what I learned over 20 years ago at the university while studying electrical engineering. Basic business class (and law) was part of the courses to get the diploma.

The general rule of thumb was, that a product in parts and production shall not be more 30% of the final price of the product. If its more, it will be a money looser. With that 30% you have 30% for marketing and distribution, and 30% for research and development. Then there you have about 10% of overhead costs for all over. Then you can play with the numbers. If, like in consumer products, marketing and distribution goes up, you have obviously less either for R&D, which means less innovation or less innovative products, or less for production, which means less quality.

That's what I learned for electronic products. Other industries maybe a little bit different. I think of these sometimes when I see a plastic box in the store for 10 bucks or so, and I know this plastics costs only a few cents in production in injection molding, of course not counting what the machine for the manufacturer had cost, what the production form cost and that it can only be used for a few 100 000 items before wearing out and so on.
Thank you for sharing that link. I had been looking for that document on and off for at least a decade. Great stuff.
Yeah I learned a lot of slang over the years and kind of gave up on formal or France French overall and just kind of piece it together with the words that people know but in a flexible grammar.

I mean technically it’s “oui” but as soon as I make a connection it’s “ouai” from there on out.

This paper was a very big deal for us. I thought “oh this is nice” and then I got to chapter 9...

SQL is so much more powerful than most developers are aware. It's not just some annoyance to trod through in order to get to your data. It is an entire data-as-computation paradigm that also happens to be a domain specific language.

SQL is functional. It is also relational. Figuring out how to combine both of these properties across your entire domain is peak elegance. We got pretty damn close on our current iteration. The walls of the matrix are a bit messy, but from inside a given SQL expression you can't tell. It all looks very clean from the inside.

SQLite represents the most stable and portable foundation upon which to construct one of these systems. Nothing else comes close.
It doesn't matter how you measure engagement though, in the end all ad-supported sites want to maximize it.

Exploring the neighborhood around what I like usually works. This means: see what's released on the same music labels. See which journalists and bloggers wrote about the thing i liked. See what artists the original artist considers to be their peers, or inspiration. And reiterate once you find something nice. For random/distant discovery there are radio shows, can seach tracklists on (e.g.) NTS to see which shows play things up my alley. I really don't like the soundcloud UX but for me their recommendation algorithm is quite good, often recommending very obscure but good, and more importantly, relevant things.

More and more, this model of "free" content that basically fills webpages with ads will fall. Most companies are realizing that ads do not work, which means we will have to start paying (actual money) for good content.

And since users are going to pay from their pockets anyway, I would seriously consider moving content away from youtube and hosting my own stuff. For example, if I am going to take a course, I'd rather take it on the creator's website, where I'll have an LMS with no ads and no thumbnsils with clickbait recommendations tempting me to move away from what I am learning.
Youtube is nice if I want to watch a quick video while I'm running at the gym, but it does not create a protected learning path.

One day, I believe car design regulations will be amended to allow fully electric braking (ie. no hydraulics, drums, rotors, or pads). At that point, the motor can be moved into the wheel (unsprung mass = bad, but weight savings from not needing an axle or gearbox will outweigh this). Suspension and steering design is then far easier, because there is no axle to need to keep straight.

Braking redundancy will be achieved by having motors/brakes on all four wheels, and within each motor 3 independant phase coils with independant controllers, such that there are effectively 12 brakes on a car. Normally the controllers work together for smooth braking, traction control, software differential, etc. But even after 3+ failures braking performance should still be satisfactory for an emergency stop.

Obviously braking energy needs to go somewhere. In the happy case, it's regen'ed into a battery. If the battery can't accept it, it gets dumped into dump resistors. If the dump resistors fail, it gets dumped into motor coils (of which there are 12 remember). Obviously the motor coils will heat up very fast, so this is probably a one-use-only failsafe, like airbags.

So the whole system (except the pedal itself) is 12 way redundant.
