I dreamed of this for a long time.

Being always on the road, I often have my emails/contacts/todolist/pictures/whatever scatered accross all my devices, with no easy way to synchronize them without getting access to wifi.

This means in transport, in the country side, or in another country, my system is in shamble. Also, it means everything is slow to sync.

Yesterday I had to send a AI model to my colleague next to me. I was on linux, he was on windows. The fastest way was to get a usb stick. That should be a click in 2022. The closest to something reliable to do this was duckto, but it's not maintained anymore.

Good luck to ditto!
dear lord, I hope you're not a PM at Microsoft.

We only teach holocaust history at a very surface level. Not enough to prevent similar things happening again. Not even close.
Thank you. I think the one we use is different as I had to lookup two substances. I do not have the packaging here at the moment, but will check (again).

From the research report provided in your link: 'Conclusions: Prenatal exposure to pyrethroids may be associated at 1 y of age with poorer social-emotional development. At 2 y of age, poorer language development was observed with higher prenatal pyrethroid levels'

Indeed not something that I would expose to children.
Not misleading, emblematic. Facebook's utilization has plummeted.
Curious how you managed compute cost. Are you running a node locally?
Seems like you did dare to think whether you want to try to achieve something like that, and decided nope :-)

Sorokin and Ardzijauskas are "normal human being[s]"; and we can be pretty sure that their accomplishment was so much harder for them than "literally nothing".

Normal human beings can accomplish so much!

Seems like you could improve your 10k pb :-)

Bitcoin may not be private but it's pseudonymous, multiple public keys per private key. I think if it had have been private though, it never would have taken off. The transparency and exploitability of blockchains is key to their success. Without Bitcoin & other prominent open source blockchain-based crypto-currencies and crypto-assets, private crypto-currencies and crypto-assets wouldn't stand up.
intersexuality concerns sex, not gender, where non-binary, genderqueer, etc. individuals exist. The social construct of gender is what is being studied here
I wouldn’t use the term bad faith but it’s clear the EU wants American big tech out
And you can read in this article why - Dolby aggressively made deals with streaming services to push their technology to profit from royalties on end-user devices.
Looks like a visually pleasant site to browse, however it appears that there is some lag on Firefox (on the desktop), at least for me.

As far as link shorteners go, I actually host my own containerized instance of YOURLS: https://yourls.org/

It's fairly boring and not really pretty, but it seems to work okay for me.

Actually, as far as self-hosting goes, there's quite a few options out there: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#url...

Of course, one can also find some free services hosted by others.
Partly marketing and licensing deals with studios - they do market very heavily. But they did pretty much invent the whole surround sound thing as we know it today, as well as a host of other realtime audio processing technologies. They're kinda the luxury mattress company of theatrical audio - it's expensive, but once you get it installed it's really nice to have.

When I did audio production in the film industry, Dolby stuff was a post production expense but not e very big one. Their license fees aren't staggeringly expensive, and the quality and reliability of the playback system was its own argument - if the Dolby 5.1 sounds right in one theater it's going to sound right in another, and that's a big deal because bad sound can really kill a movie, even if the audience can't articulate why (most people don't think too much about sound).

Digidesign (the manufacturers of Pro Tools & later owners of Avid) are a far more aggressive company that has maintained a virtual lock on its market with a combination of very expensive hardware and moat-building strategies.
But what about the decades of wages not keeping up with productivity (proxy for GDP Growth)? Could this simply be seen as workers finally getting their due?
I try to keep that in mind when I read responses with which I personally degree.

Behind every comment is an actual person with a valid opinion. I may not agree with it, but perspective is key.

> there were loonies spouting dangerous nonsense that did have tangible impacts

The loonies were a very small set of people. They were used to tarnish the reputation of anybody who was even a wee bit skeptical of what society was doing. Just because somebody thinks closing schools for more than a year and a half is a bad idea doesn't make them a loony conspiracy theorist. Just because somebody thinks the harms of the mandates were worse than any benefit they provided doesn't make them a loony. 99% of all people were in the "non-loony" bucket. 1% were actual loonies, but according to "the experts" the whole set of skeptics are grandma killing loonies spreading "dangerous nonsense".

By the way, multiple times I've been accused of spreading "dangerous nonsense" by linking to state dashboards that clearly demonstrate how age-stratified covid is. Apparently linking to public datasets is now "misinformation".

Crazy crazy crazy...
Again, the discussion is about camera security at all times, not just when you're not using it.

I think regardless of the fact that it is technically possible with any hardware and any operating system, it is difficult to argue that the risk is the same on Linux as it is on windows or ChromeOS.

I doubt ChromeOS or windows are spying on you through your camera either when you are or are not using it, but people can be sure their Linux distro isn't.
Not personally, but my family does.

Unless you are buying self-storage, do NOT expect you can buy the place and "it will run itself". Even with a dedicated general manager, the owner can expect an additional 15+ hours a week of commitments on top of that.

That said, there is so much low hanging fruit in brick and mortar stores. You wouldn't believe how many businesses leave money on the table by not keeping good hours, don't do inventory or purchasing well, or don't invest in basic marketing. Just a modicum of effort on your storefront is heavily rewarded.

You also need to be wired for customer service. If people pleasing makes you happy, running a business will be very fulfilling. If you are doing it to be your own boss or because you enjoy autonomy, you are going to have a really bad time.

When buying a business as a turn-key, you have to ask what value you get from it other than just taking over the lease. Really analyze the numbers. Good, consistent revenue lets you know there's actually some amount of existing customer base. High labor costs can actually be pretty good too, because that's something you can control and get value out of.

Timing is pretty bad though. A good ROI on an existing business is 5-10% (plus what you might be able to pay yourself if you run the thing). With interest rates what they are, you may be lucky to break even on whatever loan you need to take out to buy the thing.
Show HN: Big Picture” project management for software developers
We got tired of not being able to accurately answer "When will this be done?" and "Will anyone be required to work overtime on the current schedule?", or spending too much time in meetings and standups trying to answer those questions. Just opened up for beta. Would love some opinionated developers to guide future improvements (or feedback on the general idea).
And it definitely need a fair amount of coding background to be able to work with the no-code platforms to debug it!
Inheritance is a specialist technique, use of virtual members moreso. Most destructors in modern C++ are left to the compiler to generate.

It has been years since I last coded a virtual destructor.
Isn't forgery like that illegal beyond merely unethical? Couldn't those attorneys be disbarred? It can't be okay for lawyers to forge documents knowingly.
North Carolina easily fits the bill. Great outdoors, proximity to good universities, fairly diverse, at least in some of the major metros. A lot of places in the Great Lakes region are similar. Some of the nations best universities are in and around Chicago, Michigan, Pittsburgh, etc. Particularly in the cities, diversity is fair to high (Chicago, Minneapolis, etc). And much of the Great Lakes region is highly underrated from an outdoor perspective, particularly Michigan, and support year-round outdoor activities like beaches, hiking, skiing/snowboarding, sailing, biking, etc.
The OP says, under "Methodology notes":

No wonder that a website based around personality testing that describes the author's INTP score would uncritically engage with the ideas of love languages and attitudes - former of which is based on the anecdotal observations of a priest and was never well-validated by science

My example would be one of the scientists on President Biden's Covid advisory council being interviewed on PBS and pointing out that cloth face masks were not effective against an airborne virus, but n95 masks offered some real protection.

I, personally, saw people demand that links to that interview be removed as "disinformation".

Its not unambiguous. Google is based in CA, I am based in CA. Packets may go across state lines, but the commercial transaction (a search query) has occurred between two CA entities and should fall under state law.
I'm not super in the know here, but I think it's possible you're mixing up Unitarianism with Unitarian Universalism.
Is it possible that the cause and effect are reversed? I thought RIM was established in Waterloo because Waterloo was already by that time a Silicon-Valley-like (or at least Pittsburgh-like) tech hub.
Section 101 part b "Permissible Purposes," defines when data is allowed to be collected. The sixth such purpose: "To comply with a legal obligation imposed by Federal, Tribal, Local, or State law..."

A close reading of the wording implies this only covers requests backed by a law, i.e. it does not cover "polite requests" from a government agency. However that is a theoretic protection, practice could be different.

Ask HN: How do you compete with “free”?
Saw a new scheduling product launch on PH today, which basically offers a free version of Calendly's paid features.

Founders - how do you think about "free" product launches? I'm testing an idea now, would like to launch it along with pricing so I can validate the pricing/willingness to pay along with the idea, but feel like there's a lot of pressure to launch new products for "free".

Thoughts?
That kind of thinking still exists. The most recent example I can think of is Ghosts on CBS as the US version of the UK Ghosts. CBS' streaming service (Paramount+) will even recommend the UK original and you can compare them side-by-side.

(Another somewhat recent example to mind was FX's Wilfred as the US version of the Australian Wilfred TV show. Hulu picked up the Australian show so that you could compare them side-by-side. For streamers this is easy content recommendations.)

TV and Movie executives are always looking for "low risks" and "proven formula" will always be a way to lower risk. Shows and movies from the same originating country get "rebooted" all the time. Doing a fresh take across cultural boundaries is interestingly a higher risk as studios try to figure out if the original premise has legs in the new country. Some of what we see is survivorship bias: The US Office was huge so that gets mentioned a lot. But there were a lot of similar attempts that never made it past the pilot because the risks were too high or it just didn't seem to work or whatever.

Off the top of my head, similar to this US IT Crowd pilot there are also "lost" pilots you can find for US Doctor Who and US Red Dwarf. The fascinating thing about both of those attempts occurred during different points of the height of the PBS/BBC partnership. Up until about the late 90s/early 00s PBS was the most common importer of BBC programming from the UK. (That shifted when the BBC decided it could be a stronger revenue stream, starting chasing bigger bids from US cable channels, and then eventually cofounded the BBC America cable channel.) At various points in time PBS' biggest audiences tuned into Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, and Blake's 7 (among others on the sci-fi side of their programming), so even in the "old" TV era these US attempts knew there was some pre-existing audience familiar with the original UK shows through PBS at the time. So streamers have exactly created that as a "new" idea or new thinking so much as shifted the economics of it. (PBS was public funded and not making a lot of money for how popular its showing of UK shows were. Streamers are all big for-profits that use multi-cultural content for moats around their subscription fees. Including BBC America's current home AMC+.)
That's weird. I'd say 90% of the emails I get from real people are from gmail which are 100% html. I don't know ANYONE that sends plain text emails tbh.
Who needed a study? We've known this for years, and it was even speculated at the dawn of Friendster, MySpace, etc. Watching a society (the US, for example) slowly say "social media is bad" then continue to use it is like watching a stumbling drunk declare their ability to quit drinking anytime they want.
As somebody who has a couple of Makita tools and batteries, it would be really bad if they were hypothetically forced to change. Specifically because not being able to get new tools that use my existing 18V batteries would mean buying a whole set of new batteries, and then it’s so annoying keeping two kinds of batteries that when the old ones wear out, I’d probably instead buy new tools for the new ones. So the old tools potentially become e-waste far sooner than they would be (the old batteries wouldn’t be available forever) as well as the waste of resources for the premature replacement of all the tools and batteries…
Do you ever send email to other servers? If so, there are copies out there.

I think we see eye to eye on the symptoms of the disease, but disagree on the cause.

Ya me too. For me, the answer is as simple as progressive taxation. We basically wouldn't tax people making under about $50k per year, since they're living hand to mouth. But we'd set the top marginal tax rate of people like billionaires at somewhere between 50% (my preference) and 90% (the rate that worked best after WWII). That creates a situation where the wealthy can choose to pay their employees or pay the tax. Most employers would choose to pay their employees. We've lost that since the 80s, resulting in stagnant wages. That's the best root cause analysis I've come up with.

I feel that the right is opposed to what I'm saying on ideological grounds, because they don't want higher taxes, period. And they don't want to "punish" success. And they might be wealthy someday too.

Which is all fine and good, but those reasons aren't good enough anymore. The US is falling apart. We're all working far too hard for too little. So I appreciate what you're saying about (if I read it right) regulatory capture. There's some common ground there where the whole country could unify around limiting government overreach. I think that will begin once the right reaches such a pain level that even it organizes around a common cause like higher wages, instead of wedge issues like abortion/immigration/flag-burning/whatever to own the left (which does its own chest-thumping).
Allegations? I thought one had to provide evidence in order to invalidate election results. It's funny how allegations are enough when it's useful to one's own side, but hard evidence is needed for the rest.

> "Yesterday's vote was an impressive display of democratic elections," said João Soares, the president of the OSCE's Parliamentary Assembly and Special Coordinator for OSCE short- term observers.

It seems election were pretty democratic unless you can provide some evidence to the contrary.

Also, parliament voted his removal without reaching the needed majority, according to Ukraine's own constitution, so the removal itself was unconstitutional.
New York Times continually claimed covid had a "4% death rate" for like a year after it was shown that the IFR of covid is somewhere down in the 0.6% (which itself is highly age stratified). Not once have these "experts" ever told people to calm down. Not once have they celebrated that covid is nowhere near as bad as some of the original computer models suggested.
So you've thoroughly defended against the point about talking about porn, but you give no examples of you say we should "truly worry about". Can you at least explain further? Sounds too hand wavy
Surprisingly the web loads the messages fine, but the mobile app on Android crashes as you have mentioned.

I kind of wish they would just copy the EU rules. Once set of rules for the US and all of Europe would be pretty nice.
Thanks for the feedback and fwiw I completely agree. We can do much better in this area. We're a team of engineers so we struggle with marketing and copy.

SSO is supported on all plans by default.
Don't underestimate existing business relations and contracts. The format you're using is the format that your TV/soundbar/tablet support. There's only a few manufacturers of those and they have decades of business relationship with Dolby.

Breaking those proprietary realtionships with open source has always been a losing battle - look at HEVC vs. VP9 vs. AV1 battles or AptX vs. AAC vs. Opus.

Media industry is a surprisingly tight knit and very conservative club that doesn't adopt outsiders easily.
Sadly, I'm suffering from a top down "you must use Teams" mandate.

I hate Teams, but here, I'm going to have to be on it anyway. Slack and other clones are better... but fragmenting communication between two different platforms (one of which must be Teams) is worse than just dumping everything into Teams and being done with it.
Doesn’t take much volume to affect the spot price and in turn affect the value of everyone’s portfolio.

There is already an open media format (edit: for object-based immersive audio), it's called SMPTE 2098. Granted it's basically the mutant stepchild of DTS and Dolby ATMOS, but it does exist.

The real problem isn't the hardware manufacturers but the content producers. Dolby engages in blatant anticompetitive behavior that basically requires hardware manufacturers to support their codecs and make it impossible to innovate on the actual media formats in a way that might compete. For example: paying for content to be released in atmos or giving away the tools to author it for free.
Malloc doesn't guarantee zero filling memory, but ObjC and Swift currently need to zero memory immediately after malloc returns it, and they both share C's malloc pool.

This makes a lot more performance sense for those languages.
That's entirely false. "most people WANT to send text" .. nah most people literally don't care and are fine with the html default, and occasionally use bold or italics or images, and they would probably complain if they suddenly couldn't.
In that case I would go with a tiny SMS specific domain for the company and a tiny query string. https://my.tld/r?B33F Two hex values should allow for a large number of redirects for a single company. Or even one hex code and use a different letter /a?00 /a?FF /b?AF etc... 36x255

I would give the marketing/sales team a way to update the letter/HEX map as a plain text file.
This is an interesting article, and I'll probably take a look at the go language profiling capabilities and built-in machine independent assembler.

The idea of using bitmaps for retrieval on multiple indexes isn't new. Not surprisingly Knuth has a good discussion of the technique [Knuth], it was explained very well with a nice illustration of using notched recipe cards that is worth taking a peek at.

-- straying off topic below this line --

One surprising note, Calvin N. Mooers invented zatocoding in 1947. This technique used the notched cards for information retrieval and cited by Knuth under the subsection superimposed coding. Calvin N. Mooers went on to invent the "Reactive Typewriter" in the 1960s. This was an visionary implementation of how users might interact with computers using a terminal device (like a teletype). Mooers' Reactive Typewriter was programmed using a language he invented named TRAC.

TRAC is a macro based language. It, like the roughly contemporaneous GPM of Christopher Strachey (1965), is a Turing complete language based on macros that can define other macros, etc. I learned about TRAC in the mid 1970s from Ted Nelson's book Computer Lib/Dream Machines [Nelson]. It was one of three languages featured in that book. A fun little book, Etudes for Programmers, which I bought in 1978 inspired me to implement a version of TRAC. It's a nice exercise.

Many years later (I believe it was 1991), during an Open Software Foundation meeting in Cambridge, Massachusetts, I got to meet Mooers in person, he was sitting in the front row during a presentation, and I got to speak with him briefly afterwards.

By the way, Christopher Strachey wrote the first paper on the concept of time-sharing in 1959 and in the 1970's with Dana Scott is credited with coming up with the important development in the theory of programming languages known as Denotational Semantics.
