rateyourmusic. It has a recommendation algorithm that is definitely better than Spotify's* (it's tweakable too!), but the real ticket is reading the endless user generated reviews and lists. You can browse genres by top-rated albums, there are featured reviews from all kinds of genres on the front page, there's a featured list page or you can find lists albums were mentioned in on their album page then check out that list to see what users categorized it with. If you get bored, you can click on a user's review on an album you like and see what other albums they rated highly. Maybe you have similar interests and find your next favorite album.

*Only issue I have with the recommendation algorithm is that once you rate an album it isn't removed from the recommendation list. Makes me doubt what the algorithm is actually taking into consideration when generating a list.

Most of that heat is likely to be vented outside if you're using proper range hood ventilation. Also, it's a negative during the summer time when it's heating up the house. I know plenty of folks that dread using the oven or stovetop during the summer since your house gets so much hotter.

Overall, it seems like it's a net neutral in terms of heating unless you're in a climate that skews heavily one way or the other.
But is it plain illegal. For employment purposes Race is a protected class (at least in USA) and racial discrimination while hiring or firing violates federal law. How would they get away with this?
Over 30 years ago when I was starting out as a consultant I wanted a lawyer who'd give a cursory review of contracts I was given for a fixed price per page.

I started interviewing lawyers. My standard question was "will you sign a contract for your services?". Most of them said some variant of no, although there was the one who accused me of being part of some bar investigation.

So one of them said "if you draw up the contract I'll look at it". Seemed reasonable to me! He stood up and came around from behind the desk to shake hands, at which point it became apparent that his feet were bare. Our relationship lasted for over a decade.

(Then there was that time in the cadillac driving through the drainage ditch while the bailiffs held a lawyer's head out the open window in the spray, but we won't discuss that.)
I have a Nokia N900 running PostmarketOS [0]. The Nokia N900 is a great device, it has a sliding keyboard, touch screen, pen stylus, removable battery and micro sd card. PostmarketOS is an Alpine Linux-based OS using i3 as the window manager, so it doesn't take up a lot of resources (N900 only has 256 MB of RAM, every byte counts) and provides a lot of room for customization.

Once again, I’m grateful for your message. (I did end up getting my refund. I hope you remember me.)

On a completely unrelated note, I was looking at a somewhat complicated Wikipedia page yesterday and noticed a piece of text I would like to edit. It had some stuff (citations and references) I felt I didn’t understand how to edit without being sure I wouldn’t break anything. Is there a good forum or place where I could ask for help with my edit?
Doesn't it? I'd argue that this is a perfectly reasonable outcome. Server-side history is disabled -- for everyone. Sure, you could have saved the conversation when you saw it, but it doesn't do it for you.

Ephemerality can be desirable. However, I do agree there should ideally be three options, including the one you're describing.
This is a well executed idea, the minus is that it is going to incentivize npm managers to create more and more spammy packages.

Global internet coverage would be amazing, and definitely something I and many others would consider worth it. Not just for people to browse Twitter/TikTok/social media, but for access to things like Wikipedia and various other knowledge-bases, and communication protocols.

> benefits, bonuses, or RSUs

"Benefits" isn't really relevant for Germany but bonuses and RSUs (though again, nobody in Germany gets those) are figured into the 50%.

Pretty much everyone I know would take such a contract; programmers make 1.5x-2x median salary to begin with even in Europe, and it's "don't compete", not "don't work".
Yes! ty :)
Totally agree. Not sure I care about Starlink.

Chatted once on a Webex with Chris Hadfield about 6-12 months ago, who said that the service was somewhat better and more reliable than his current satellite connection, but also that it wasn't necessarily good enough for a change in mindset. He knew that sometimes he wouldn't have good enough connection for video calls out there, and that was ok by him.

I don't think he was thinking about the space dust / negative externalities

I find no Google results that are appropriate for "Starlink satellite retrieval"

The Starlink website notes "95% of "all components of this design will quickly burn in Earth's atmosphere at the end of each satellite's lifecycle".

It's amazing that it's already looking like this: https://satellitemap.space/

And of course, it's not black and white. Took me a bit longer... had to remember that Corporate Social Responsibility departments exist, but in February 2022 SpaceX put out a statement at least: https://www.spacex.com/updates/

Funny - so they've done a reasonable amount of work to minimize space junk, which is great! Absolutely no mention of helping out astronomers with the line of sight problem.

The way you think about writing will determine the kind of success you will have. We are not in the shakespearean age anymore. You can be an artist-writer, but you have to create a balance.
Share-nothing architecture were deemed more scalable as you don't need synchronization. But then, you can't share stuff, like a connection pool. Also, the architecture was simpler this way. Nginx is also an application server and it was "easy" to develop applications on top of it because of this architecture.
Bigtech will happily store data on their users indefinitely so they can mine it in the future, should they think of new profit-generating ideas. But they will absolutely delete their employee's emails after N months unless they are on litigation hold (i.e. legally required not to do so). Complete double standard.
> Why do Christian companies talk about God when they make business decisions? They're not implementing some complex sociopolitical strategy, they just think God is important so they like to spread His message whenever they get the opportunity. It's the same phenomenon.

I find that equally obnoxious. If I wanted to hear about "God", I'll go to a local church/fellowship/insert whichever place of worship for any religion...not from a soul-less business.
Most people would be surprised at the number of laws passed decades, if not hundreds of years ago that are still on the books in many states but never enforced. Many aren't even Constitutional due to subsequent jurisprudence. They're just laying there.
Can't go wrong with starting with the Andrew Ng Deep Learning course.

Practical Deep Learning for Coders is also a good place to start:
https://course.fast.ai/
Many times "it" started as one worker in the office who needed to get something done. And they figured out that Excel (or Access) could do "that thing". So they used Excel to automate it. Then "that thing" ended up doing more, and getting more complicated, until one day people realize that the company depends on this (now) business critical process.

Excel was more likely because it came in almost every version of Microsoft Office. Access tended to come in only the more expensive suites.

That's why I call Excel & Access "gateway drugs" - they're the tool that got a lot of people into programming. They didn't wake up one morning and say "hey, I want to be a programmer!". Instead they figured out how to do their work with the tools they had, and then one day woke up and realized "OMG! I've become a programmer without noticing."
I think there is a simpler way to understand this. If you have nothing to hide, then post all of your crucial information (this is facetious) including your address, your phone number, the names and ages of all members of your family. Then post the history of all your browser usage. Then your place of work, your driver's license, where you shop, all of your Amazon purchases for the last year ... You get the picture. We don't have something to hide when we don't reveal this information. We are just protecting ourselves and our loved ones in a world where there are many bad actors.
> the people being arrested were in public places.

Funerals are reasonably often held at public cemeteries.
FWIW I disagree the arrests were justifiable unless the protestors refused to be non-violently lead away from the scene, assuming they presented a genuine risk of provoking a violent response from the mourners etc.

The Starlink dishes have GPS data reported so if you aren't authorized in an area it will be disabled. That said, this coverage map looks like it's for commercial sale, Africa is big complicated continent, if you look at Nigeria for instance, it says availability starting in Q4 2022, which means they likely already have some ground stations installed. If the ground stations are installed and the spectrum is allowed then a local government/school could probably purchase a Starlink dish legally and have it work right now.

All they need is one dish installed on every continent for the 'all seven continents supported' to TECHNICALLY be correct, obviously this tweet is just marketing. It's still pretty cool to see that many incredibly under-served communities in South America/Africa/Asia will be able to be served considering running physical infrastructure is very expensive.
I'm not disagreeing with the overall premise of the tweet chain. I'm just saying that $350k is pretty cheap for an exec at one of the most viewed/important websites on the planet.

The Starter House Is Nearly Extinct
Interesting idea, but I'm not sure that the automatic allocation model would make logical sense for many of my projects.

Some of my dependencies are complicated, critical, high-maintenance parts of my application, some are convenience wrappers for other more important sub-dependencies, and some are basic helper dependencies. Some are independent volunteer projects, and some are maintained by commercial companies by developers on salary. And some of them are libraries for services that I already pay for, like aws-sdk.

I don't think I could use something like this unless I can tweak the allocations.
>"A protest that is not irritating is not a protest.... finding the right moment and location to be maximally irritating is part of the art of protest. "

Which school of thought is this from? Protesting can take many forms and they need not be offensive and/or irritating to be effective. I personally respect calm, dignified, and persistent protestors far more than the loud, disruptive, and in-your-face ones.
I had the feeling my honest questions were not-rarely seen as sarcasms or bad faith arguments. Probably has some overlap with autistic spectrum disorders.

Yeah, I think it's valid to ask whether Wikipedia's expenses are too high, or whether they are spending on the right things.

But that tweet and thread are sensationalist and not doing it in a way that will lead to a reasonable dialog around that question. The linked article is better - but still sensationalist.

Compare that budget and the scale of Wikimedia foundation to the organizations that are running websites of a similar scale. Wikimedia is still tiny. And they are doing a ton of good.
Heart rate detection?
How did they get the blue checkmark on Twitter? It is really hard to get one honestly (I applied a few times showing that my "brand" was quoted/linked on Wikipedia and several large media outlets) - unless they are paying several thousands (which I don't think this is the case)
Some other indigenous North American tribes also subsisted almost entirely on meat (mainly bison), and seem to have been fairly healthy. This site is pushing a particular diet so take their conclusions with some skepticism, but their underlying data seems to be mostly accurate.

If my government wants to know something about me, they will be able to find out and that's whether I use DuckDuckGo or Google, Chrome or Firefox, Facebook or no Facebook, Gmail or my own private server, and whether or not I use a VPN service.

Some people (especially here on HN) are so into privacy for the sake of privacy, more like a hobby than a practical exercise in improving their quality of life. And that's completely fine. But I'm more interested in convenience. I'm at the point where I would legitimately prefer my Social Security Number to be leaked on the dark web than have to deal with the proposed three-factor authentication for my banking and brokerage accounts.

The YF-23 team had to turn in their specs in the competition and you wonder if the referee was partial to the YF-22 team and gave them opposition research. That was the feeling I got from interviews & documentary.

A long time ago, I worked on Renderfarm.fi, which was like what you're proposing but free. I was just an extremely junior developer working on the front end. The volunteer computing system itself was based on BOINC. I recall it was quite the effort to keep it running. If I remember right we rendered everything multiple times on different nodes to make sure that jobs weren't being faked.

There's no point to this post other than a trip down memory lane. I wish you the best with this project!

The B2 is great.

But, while stealth is really useful, it does require some trade-offs. Since B-52 is only useful in cases where stealth isn't required, and it seems to still be in use, I guess if the B-52 were hypothetically retired there'd be room for a non-stealth replacement. Unless the techniques they developed to come up with the F-22 and F-35 opened up a possibility of a zero-compromise stealth design (I'm skeptical, but I don't know anything about plane development).

No, it's as centralized as they ever come. The "servers" are a misnomer, really. That's what they call communities/workspaces for some reason. If you want federated social media, you're looking for Mastodon and other ActivityPub projects. I'm also building my own one.

I don't like Starlink. It increases light pollution, even in places without much human activity, which is a disaster for astronomers.

Moreover, sending satellites to space is really inefficient. It wastes a lot of energy and pollutes a lot. To increase coverage, the amount of satellite they'll need will be more and more. And the skies will become more and more full of space junk (each satellite lives for 7 years).

I think there are other solutions. But of course, other solutions do not favour Elon Musk as much.

The world's poor are ahead of us in this realm. Lagos will clock 100M people by the end of the century.

Megalopolis are only getting bigger. Like luxury EVs , starlink is aimed at the particular preferences of the RV crowd and the yacht crowd.

Improving the quality of life of the avg. consumer is never the goal. The goal is to have rich people get excited about some luxury product so that they immediately log on their Fidelity account and buy the stock of the company which puts itself out there as the so called leader in that luxury product niche.

It turns out that too much optimism about the future can damage an economy just as much as not enough faith in the future. This is exactly what has happened with the "everything bubble".
Thanks for this! Still, it feels so right but yet so wrong.
How is it "nice"? It's almost unreadable.
You have no idea whether you are currently committing any crimes.

Yes, this is very true, _in the US_. In other parts of the world, QR Codes have been ubiquitous for many years.

> Have you considered simply not using a username that ties back to your real identity?

I assumed it's been Internet 101 for several years now. To the point I don't remember when I used my real name on the Internet. And whenever I do, it must be a really important and a well thought-out reason.

Moreover, I use a different nickname for every service so that if someone looks up dvfjsdhgfv they will only find HN and HN-related posts.
They generally have higher quality than others in the telecom business in terms of uptime and delivery success. They also have a much more expansive toolset than AWS for expanding out from being a basic text message blaster to being a full on support center, a customer relation management platform, and a customer data platform. Also their web based programming interfaces for non-coders are better. Additionally, their developer APIs don’t have as much jank as AWS.
Might be so. Guess it seemed obvious to me that we're talking past each other if one is talking about "What's available for consumers today" vs "What the military in the US has access to", but I digress.
I'm not sure any of that answers my question. If I don't want a public or large community I'm not supposed to convert to community, okay, but I can still want thread channels for organizing information. They aren't useless for small groups of people, and the same is true for some of the other community-locked features.

And enabling community mode isn't necessarily the solution either. It comes with a bunch of dubious nonsense attached:

> Scan media content from all members: this will scan all media sent in the server and delete any content that contains explicit content

I don't trust an automated algorithm to make moderation decisions for me.

> Rules or Guidelines Channel

Useless in a private community.

> Discord may check the contents of your server to make sure it’s safe!

I don't need a paternalistic american tech company invisibly making judgement calls on what my private community does or doesn't do.
