Used to work developing standalone kiosks and things (think along the lines of stuff you'd find at a museum as the basic type of thing I'd work on), so absolutely not the use case you're thinking of.

In a number of cases, we were working with data that would really benefit from actual GIS tooling so PostGIS was kind of the natural thing to reach for. Many of these kiosks had slow, intermittent, or just straight up no internet connection available.

So we just deployed PostGIS directly on the kiosk hardware. Usually little embedded industrial machines with passive cooling working with something like a generation or two out-of-date Celeron, 8GB RAM, and a small SSD.

We'd load up shapefiles covering a bunch of features across over a quarter million square miles while simultaneously running Chromium in kiosk mode.

I know for a fact some of those had around 1k DAU. I mean, never more than one simultaneously but we did have them! I'm sure it would have handled more just fine if it weren't for the damn laws of physics limiting the number of people that can be physically accessing the hardware at the same time.

That said, we had the benefit of knowing that our user counts would never really increase and due to real-world limitations we'd never be working with a remote database because there was literally no internet available. In general I'd still say colocating your database is not an excuse to allow N+1 query patterns to slip in. They'll be fine for now and just come back to bite you in the ass when your app _does_ outgrow colocating the app/database.
I can't read WSJ while at work, but after checking on the financials for both Meta and Alphabet, I do not understand why either would be cutting staff. Both look pretty strong, so I am not sure how cuts are justified or why Zuckerberg has a negative outlook, especially since 2021 was such a great year for both.

Do American executives, investors, and start up owners not have the guts for even a moderate stock price drop? I guess the reaction is to cut staff, or threaten to, when there is a whiff of negativity. Fuckin weak.
Why would it be illegal to train a model on their free samples? I thought their business was paying to remove the watermark?
Also, I missed you asking about sharing what I found.

Permaculture was the gateway into the world of what is possible. Consider, for example, the 3 permaculture ethical principles:

- Care of Earth
- Care of People
- Fair Share

This is all voluntary. It’s not about making people change, or changing the masses.

The design principles shows a way of decentralizing food production in a way that is more resilient, adaptive, and also works with the culture (and not just the technologies or methods, hence “perma-culture”)Although the two people who originally put this together doesn’t address Consciousness or spirituality, I have found that these design principles can lead to way of life that has room and integrates cultivation of consciousness.

That also lead me to Carol Sanford. You look around at articles and podcast, and then at some point, you see her mentioned all over the place in the permaculture world.

As a hint of what is possible, with just better management of water, this series of video talks about implementing better use of water in India, and how it not only restored watersheds, but also helped people socially and addressed economic inequality:

While I find Tether super-shady, it's also one of the longest-going stablecoins which has stayed strong while many others failed catastrophically.

Not to defend them or anything for sure, I find them and their Bitfinex/price manipulation schemes super shady too, but it's also a success that they came this far when many people expected them to collapse for years.
I doubt web devs would ever accept React as the de facto JavaScript framework and we definitely shouldn’t if it wants to keep evolving but most of the articles against react these days seem to be the equivalent of frat boys negging and mocking woman just because it’s the cool thing to do.

I’m sure there are some good points being made out there but those points Are getting lost in the noise which is a real shame.

Same. You can go a long way with cut, sort, etc. and also awk with its pattern matching. But if you're handy with SQL, that can often feel more natural and certainly things like joins among separate CSV files, as well as sums and other aggregates, are easier.

If you have "unclean" CSV data, e.g. where the data contains delimiters and/or newlines in quoted fields, you might want to pipe it through csvquote.

With most in game currency, there does not appear to be a way to convert back to a liquid currency such as USD/EUR/Gold/etc. Thus, it is understood by all that any gambling proceeds are confined to the in game universe. With crypto-based video game currencies, especially those based on liquid cryptos such as ETH, there is an expectation of turning your in-game assets back into real spendable money. So, it actually seems to be a roundabout way of operating a casino.

Roughly the angular reolution of a telescope is 1.22*wavelength/diameter. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_resolution. Hubble uses visual light (0.5 um wavelength) while JWST uses IR (5 um wavelength) and beyond. So the wavelength for JWST is 10x larger than Hibble, but the diameter is only ~2.7X (Hubble 2.4m vs JWST 6.5m dia). So JWST resolution is 1.8x worse than Hubble.
That's a really terrible attitude.

Do you know why content creators use Youtube despite it being a fairly hostile place for creators? It gets views. Odysee doesn't get views. Vimeo doesn't get views. Youtube is your best chance of getting discovered and finding success.

If you want to drive content creators to other platforms, you should stop using Youtube and giving them views. That's how it's done.

You're not entitled to the content nor the platform for free.

A Reuters version of the sold-out-flights news story is here on Australia's ABC:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-21/flights-out-of-russia...

It included this paragraph:

"Mr Putin's announcement, made in an early-morning television address on Wednesday, raised fears that some men of fighting age would not be allowed to leave Russia."

EDIT: To be clear, the linked Reuters report did not say airlines had been told to stop selling tickets, just that above sentence speculating that it could happen. The Reuters report is 6 hours old at the time I am posting it here.

It’s a fascinating article though!
The innate behavior idea makes some sense. One example: Unemployed married men are something like twice as likely to be divorced as men who are employed. People typically don't say "I divorced him beacuse he doesn't make any money" but suddenly behaviors that were tolerable previously become deal breakers once a man loses his job.

Want to buy a USDT put? I'll send someone to meet you in SF. $10k min, if you're okay with in-person. Premium discussed when you suggest expiry date.

If you want the smart contract, I'll do a $25k min. Once you give me the money, I'll do this:

1. Load a smart wallet with 1.2x equivalent value of ETH (which I'm long)

2. Tie it to a smart contract using a price oracle that will liquidate the ETH if the ETH/USDC price (using some combination of high-volume exchanges) drops to 1.01x of the amount of USD you should get

3. At any point of time, you can transfer in your strike USDT to exercise the option and receive USDC in return

This way I get to be long ETH and you get to be short USDT so long as you trust USDC (which is audited)
I recently tried my hand in commercializing my open source project, gitleaks (http://gitleaks.io). I'm keeping the core gitleaks project MIT but changed the gitleaks-action on GitHub to a commercial license. Revenue from the commercial license and maintenance agreements has netted me much more than donations I've received over the past couple years. I encourage any open source maintainer to try and find a business model (plugin, dual license, enterprise support, etc) for their project.

FWIW, here is a blog post explaining the rationale behind starting an LLC https://blog.gitleaks.io/gitleaks-llc-announcement-d7d06a52e...
You still need computing power to generate those images, so definitely room for commercial activity there. Getty could precompute billions of images and enlarge their inventory.
People buy Bitcoin with regular money, not with USDT. People exchange from cryptocurrency to USDT because they really want USD, but that is significantly harder to convert to.
Any favorite podcast episodes you'd recommend for someone listening for the first time?
This type of result is unavoidable with anonymous cryptocurrency, and it will only get worse if we continue to accept anonymous transfers as a legitimate source of income. The new European MiCA regulation goes a long way into establishing traceability in crypto-transactions, but is still short of what's required.

Essentially, the whole current lot of cryptocurrencies should be detached from financial markets because they operate, by design, like a large money laundry service.

It does! It absolutely amazes me that automated testing did not find this vulnerability prior to prod deployment.
I've met a lot of people who have never considered the oxygen levels of small spaces. You can purchase Co2 meters to check small bedrooms or tight spaces to make sure you're not using up the available oxygen and ending up tired and with headaches.

This pod looks like you would start to reach 1000/pm Co2 levels within 30 minutes or less.
Oh nice - I have an immediate use case for this. This looks accessible enough that the sci-fi dream of instantaneous audio translation is suddenly within reach.

I concur. While I know all the world is Linux, I run OpenBSD on many of my hobby systems. I love OpenBSD’s simplicity, but, IMHO, it’s missing too many things to be a good laptop OS. With ChromeOS I get the support a laptop environment requires, while still having the Debian VM to take things further.
I'm doing something similar with gitleaks: https://gitleaks.io/support.html

So far it's working out great.
Ask HN: How to network with executives as an MBA student?
I'll soon be attending events with higher-ups of companies I'm interested in working for. While I certainly don't place people on pedestals, I don't want to make a fool of myself either.

How should an MBA student go about conversing with executive of major companies? What are the non-obvious questions and etiquette I should keep in mind?

My professors have given us preparation and tips, but I'm also curious what some of the HN folks have to say.
>There’re lots of other analytics services

Not really. The only actual competitor to GA is Matomo Analytics, the rest are just copies of each other with the same very basic feature set.

> high-value banknote in my back pocket [... to] have some money on me

Nah, pickpockets usually attack the back pockets first, they are mostly unprotected. Best place to hide some cab money is inside your shoes/socks. Have a reasonable amount of money in a wallet and carry it in your front pocket.

Pickpockets would have a harder time and if robbed the mugger would be happy with the amount inside the wallet and won't check you further.

That's unexpectedly lightweight - enough to run in some phones.
Morally it seems to basically be the same to me, but in practice it's different. The AI training is done by big corporations that are traceable and have big pockets that can be sued whereas "inspiration" cannot be taken to court even if you feel like you were stolen from.
I understand that. And that kind of debt makes sense in individuals. For a corporation (especially a large one), there is no single code of morality (either religious, social or anything else) that animates it except the bottom line. I submit that even "culture" and things which have a social angle are done specifically because they are profitable in the long term.

From that perspective, taking software that has been expressly allowed (in black and white) to be used with more or less no restrictions and without any need to give back is perfectly fine (and in some sense, even moral) as far the corporation and the code by which it functions is concerned. That's how I see it.

If the open source movement is interested in being sustainable etc., the licenses should bake in some kind of clause that incentivises the companies to pay back either monetarily or with effort. Of course, that would hurt their adoption so they choose not to but if they do that, they can't really complain when companies just take their work and use it many times without even an attribution.

This is so cool! I was just speaking to a non-technical family member about privacy concerns around using "OK Google" and the like. They responded inquiring about "private" alternatives, to which my answer was "I'm not aware of good ones that give you that level of accuracy and convenience."

Perhaps this development along with continued optimization and device compute power increases will lead us into a near-future where things like Mycroft devices and cellphones could have local-only speech-to-text and translation capabilities which are accurate even with environmental background noise variations encountered IRL.

I think this is the correct sentiment. I would be shocked if there's nothing shady going on at Tether, but given the 5 years of apocalyptic tether predictions while Tether plugs on through things like the Terra collapse with zero issues, it seems very likely to me that the sentiment is overly negative, not that the risk is understated.

What if you were to... I dunno, create a community that lets in any anonymous person and talks about art. Generate Stable Diffusion prompts from their conversations. Then add an upvote system, so that rather than having an individual pick particular results, the best results generally filter to the top. You could even have the "upvotes" be based on dwell-times or something like that.
Complexity or not, it's incredibly useful. To me the development experience is just superior, you feel more in control. No one likes building the app only to see "Cannot read properties of undefined" and then needlessly scratching head what's wrong. I have done a large refactor recently and it was such a breeze, with TS pointing out pretty much everything that needs to be fixed to complete it. Coding new features and sometimes it just works after the first build. TS is obviously the inevitable future since it offloads the stuff that the computer can do better and frees up the mental energy for the more creative stuff. The code is also more readable, when the types mean something there's less need for describing function parameters for instance, since you have a complete type definition of what that param represents and any comments made on those types are re-usable across functions.
maybe 'wild' is applicable to mammals in that sentence and they don't consider humans to be 'wild mammals'?
Telnet: Old Friend Offers High Speed (1998)
I've seen a lot of confidence on HN and other tech communities that a court would never rule that training an AI on copyrighted images is infringement, but I'm not so sure. To be clear, I hope that training AI on copyrighted images remains legal, because it would cripple the field of AI text and image generation if it wasn't!

But think about these similar hypotheticals:

1. I take a copyrighted Getty stock image (that I don't own, maybe even watermarked), blur it with a strong Gaussian blur filter until it's unrecognizable, and use it as the background of an otherwise original digital painting.

2. I take a small GPL project on GitHub, manually translate it from C to Python (so that the resulting code does not contain a single line of code identical to the original), then redistribute the translated project under a GPL-incompatible license without acknowledging the original.

Are these infringements?

In both of these cases, a copyrighted original work is transformed and incorporated into a different work in such a way that the original could not be reconstructed. But, intuitively, both cases feel like infringement. I don't know how a court would rule, but there's at least some chance these would be infringements, and they're conceptually not too different from distilling an image into an AI model and generating something new based on it.
The difference is that it's mechanical. Copyright is intended to protect creators, and it's unclear whether this type of fair use properly balances the original creators' needs against the ML-based creators' needs.
