Ask HN: How to get fast cellular internet in rural areas
Most cellular options are a "Wifi puck" all-in-one solution that contains poor wifi and cellular antennas and chipsets.

I already own a mesh router (or bridge) network I like. Does anyone have good recommendations for a cellular modem + cellular antenna combination that can connect to a home network via ethernet?
IMO, it is not awful to state the obvious.

Every company - especially every company over a certain size, knows there are a certain percentage of people that just 'phone it in' and aren't pulling their weight relative to others - pretending that isn't true, really doesn't help anyone.

More importantly, it is demoralizing to the people you want to keep - to make it seem to them that putting in the extra effort doesn't do anything for you, so they start looking for the exits to find a position where there effort and talents are better appreciated; retaining the best people, at the end of the day is more important than a low-performer's hurt feelings.
Not sure (not a lawyer), but at the very least the "Hereinafter referred to as…" statement can point to the entire agreement containing that statement: https://s3.studylib.net/store/data/008711807_1-e257ae31713cf...

The advantage of natural languages is self-referential infinite recursion is basically fine. The downside is, no compile-time checks for logical inconsistencies.
>I really do not understand why people are saying twitch is banning gambling when they are banning gambling that is illegal in the country it operates.

As a poker player, this is very good news as far as I'm concerned. There is a lot of quality content on Twitch from poker players, especially during big events like the World Series of Poker.
That helps, but simply doing something that nobody has anticipated is often sufficient. If enough people like what you did, technicalities often fall by the wayside.
I love it! I think the interface is very educational, but the sound comes out a little bit distorted, at least on my PC. Check the one I used, salamander kit https://sfzinstruments.github.io/drums/salamander awesome work!

> It's odd because any category of streamer could be paying employees large sums of money to recommend them.

No, they couldn't. That is nonsense. I am a former twitch employee, of 4 years, and the recommendation algorithm is a complicated service, managed by whole teams of people.

A random employee couldn't just take a bribe, and get someone recommended.

The closest that someone could maybe do, is submit someone internally, to be hosted on the front page carousel for one specific day, for a few hours.

But even these manual requests are reviewed by a team of people, who especially make sure the front page people are brand safe. So the idea that they would put a "hot tub" streamer, on that manual hosting list is absurd.
That depends on the company. Yeah Ethereum is a meme with tons of meme companies but I assure you there are web3 companies solving real problems you just haven’t heard of them because the things they’re solving aren’t sexy memes like anti-government currencies.
> thanks for the downvotes. I'm sorry that truth-seeking bothers you

Being petulant isn't going to make your case any stronger.
Try to see if anyone you know is looking for an intern.
What? I never said it's evidence that it did happen, please don't make things up. I just pointed out the evidence provided to refute the claim is possibly invalid.
This seems like a very hand-wavy comparison. By the numbers, the difference is enormous--Japan's average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is $28,900. For direct comparison, the USA's average is 77% higher than Japan's at $51,100. Japan's average is even below the OECD average (which includes a mix of leading Western countries and less developed countries like Costa Rica and and Hungary) by 5%.

> Poland, or Finland, instead of Ukraine

Is Finland as willing to deploy NATOs military infrastructure and become target/source of the first strike?

Consider that you are comparing stable countries with stable government and social institutions to a country that recently had a revolution and whose political drive is based on militant anti-russia rhetorics.

> Russia's point of view is that Ukraine must be destroyed, because when it becomes more successful than Russia it would prove how terrible the Russian government is.

That's not Russian point of view, that's western propaganda talking points. Moreover, this is just cartoonish, I really don't get how people older than teens manage to detach themselves from real life and humanity to believe it THAT literally.

> which kind of fits given their approach of leveling entire cities (cf Mariupol).

Mariuol is a singular case and the photos of it still don't look worse than Baghdad. Consider maybe getting some references before engaging in such rhetorics. Otherwise you might end up shilling for nazis yourself.

> we've tried appeasing Putin before

Uh-uh, sure, that famous dick-swinging bone-throwing lacking-any-reflection supremacist western diplomacy at its finest.

Just think of all it's successes. And the amount of love everyone in the world has towards that always willing-to find-common-ground, compromising, meeting-half-way -there, totally never-speaking-from-the-position-of-power diplomacy.

Oh wait... Oops.
Perhaps your conflation was deliberate, but it actually feels like you may not be conflating exactly what you think you are. Let me try to be fairly precise about some things:

By standard UNIX function I take it that you mean a function defined via POSIX and part of one of the various specifications used for UNIX certification (for the moment lets ignore the fact there are multiple revisions and optional extensions). It is important to note that the specifications says essentially nothing about:

* Binary formats

* Libraries (static or dynamic)[1]

* What symbols are in what library

It is all written in terms of what source code should compile, and how that compiled code functions. Everything else such as calling conventions, syscall interfaces, what is library code vs a syscall, etc is an implementation detail.

So given the above, I am not entirely sure what you mean by a `"private" C ABI when this ABI actually implemented a standard UNIX function.` Do you mean has Apple ever changed an internal function called by a function specified in POSIX? IOW, if your question is does Apple reserve the right to implement `stat()` as a call to `stat_internal()` and then change the arguments to "stat_internal()" ? Absolutely.

If you mean has Apple ever changed a function that is part of POSIX but it considers private? Those don't really exist on macOS, if POSIX allows it and it is part of the standard that has passed conformance it is by definition public and the C ABI level interfaces for as exposed by libSystem are stable (which is not to say that all of those interfaces are great, but they are standard and supported). IOW, the standard specifies that `stat()` exists, and it is by definition public.

That is not to say incompatible changes have never had to happen (for example, when UNIX conformance was originally implemented a lot of existing functions required incompatible changes to pass the test suites). All of that is handled via symbol versioning and redirecting new binaries to different symbols than the older binaries used, which maintains both binary compatibility for old binaries and allows new source to compile in the correct (conformant) way. This is why if you inspect libsystem_kernel.dylib you see variants of symbols like:

* _recvmsg

* _recvmsg$NOCANCEL$UNIX2003

* _recvmsg$UNIX2003

The old ones keep working with the existing semantics for older binaries, the headers have magic in them redirect to the newer ones when targeting the appropriate minimum OS version, and the userspace libraries have multiple entry points that provide both sets of semantics (often implemented in the userspace shim, sometimes by dispatching to the kernel with different syscalls).

[1]: Despite that, at this point POSIX does specify some of the semantic of `dlopen()` and `dlsym()`, which is pretty insane when you think about.
> I've never understood this theory. It implies that the market moves when they buy, but not when they sell?

That's not an unreasonable assumption when the asset isn't held and bought mostly by professionals trading based on its fundamentals, but by people that get very excited by "line goes up" and diehard HODLers. This isn't specific to Tether, it's standard pump and dump behaviour. Printing money is great, but getting further gains on your printed money (and a plausible "massive growth in crypto interest" story to make your printed money seem more real) is better still.

Plus chances are Bitfinex did the pump bit but actually holds onto a lot of the crypto it bought anyway.
I think something similar already exists. See this, for example: https://koe.ai/recast/

Although I don't know if they're using anything similar to what you suggest. Very cool idea, anyway!
Curious whether it can index psql tables for full text search
Simpler? Definitely not.

Interest rates are controlled by the Federal Reserve, which is an independent entity that can change interest rates without needing any kind of approval from the federal government. It's very simple for them to actually implement once the decision is made.

Taxes need to be voted in by citizens, or more accurately, the representatives of the citizens. Citizens do not tend to enjoy enforcing more taxes on themselves, and representatives tend to want to get re-elected, so they have incentive to avoid raising taxes and upsetting their constituency, even if they know it's a good idea in the long-run.
Has anyone analyzed the cadence of the moves, any patterns there?

Nitpick:

Software can be free while being closed-source, as "open-source" refers to a development model, not the liberty of its users. A more precise term to use would be "proprietary software".
An awesome story
It doesn't, really. A society that plateaus at a high standard of living is a very good end result.

However, the world isn't equal, nor is the wealth equally distributed. If all of the rich, developed world was to slow down and become stagnant like Japan, where will the demand for goods and commodities made by the developing world come from?

Huge western demand helped lift hundreds of millions in China and India out of poverty, for instance.

Stagnant growth might be good for an individual country, but it can doom developing countries to similar stagnancy.
To me, it means you deploy a function or service without needing to configure what it runs on.

Well, all it says that you shouldn't promote it on the "official channels" (i.e. the mailing list and the #guix libera.chat channel). Guix, the package manager itself, does not make installing non-free packages any more difficult than free packages. I suppose it could be said that Guix (the project) makes finding non-free packages harder, although anecdotally I will say that nonguix is the first thing I've heard about guix, since it seems to be the most controversial part of it.
Transfat? What is that? Oh, it’s that dietary fat which is illegal where I live and hence completely irrelevant to me.

There is hardly a back and forth here. Fat is essential and a lot of is not harmful.

The best you could do is to point out that heavily processed vegetable oils are harmful and probably give you too much omega-6. The cure? Just switch to things like olive oil and animal fats.

Compare this to sugar (also mentioned by the poster).. Which is... not essential to anything. Your body does not need it. It is actively harmful. Carbohydrates however can be fine, and fiber is good, but the particular kind of carbohydrate known as sugar (like the two molecular compounds more or less) are no bueno.
Dutch media reporting this as fake news.

Could be Ukranian propaganda to stir up Russian society, who knows.
It came out recently that a streamer exchanged lewd photos of herself for a ban on one of her "competitors."

And well-earned, too. MinIO is a really neat solution for keeping local data available via the same protocol as that in the remote S3 buckets. I do wish there was something below it, though, complexity-wise, just a little application that serves a directory as an S3-compatible bucket. MinIO can feel a little much for simple testing scenarios and the like.

> Among some Meta employees, the process of reapplying for jobs within a limited window internally is known as a sort of human-resources purgatory they call the “30 Day List.”

> Meta, as of last year the name of Facebook’s parent company, has long had a practice that employees whose roles are eliminated are subject to termination if they can’t find a new job internally within a month. Many other companies also make efforts to reassign employees whose groups are closed or restructured. At Meta historically, it was usually only employees deemed undesirable who failed to land new positions. Now, affected employees and managers say, workers with good reputations and strong performance reviews are being pushed out on a regular basis.

This sounds like a recipe for achieving rock-bottom morale of the remaining employees at warp speed. If anything, it seems worse than just firing people. By shunting high performers into the traditional dead-end path, the company simultaneously calls the employee's reputation into question while placing their professional short-term future in limbo.

Why not just fire?
This question of copyright legalities and AI-generated media reminds me of the "Monkey selfie copyright dispute" from a few years back:

Indeed. And prevailing winds on the European continent blow into Russia from the west.

Beyond the reality of instant and powerful retalation, dropping nuclear weapons on Berlin or Kyiv or Warsaw is a tad suicidal from that POV alone.

And even the use of a small scale "tactical" nuke inside Ukrainian territory would essentially force NATO into committing its own forces inside Ukraine. It would be too far beyond the pale.

I don't think Putin will take this gamble. The whole world would lose, but Russia would lose even more.
Probably not a troll, just someone who really roots for Russia and Putin.

I have seen my Russian acquaintances and even friends to believe all kinds of nonsense about this war. Mostly it is due to blind nationalism when one cannot tolerate anything that threatens the view that his nation is the best and should lead the world. Sometimes it is just contrarianism – if the policies started by the West have been largely more successful, then one needs to find a case where they were wrong and overemphasize this point.
Right, I wasn't suggesting fake friendliness, just like something better than making generalizations that bring up the spector of hidden bad people working at the company and nobody knows whose head is going to roll. It creates uncertainty, fear and just general demoralization in the ranks if you ask me.
If Tether goes to zero your counter-party risk goes to infinity.

I once thought like that. That was before I realised that corporate interests and those of the user increasingly don't align, and that any strength on their side equates to strength against you.

There needs to be a balance. Any extreme is dystopia. I'm just pushing back because I want to restore that balance.

It doesn't seem 100% accurate (see: UK balance sheet). But the pattern is evident. The older/more developed an economy, the larger the central bank balance sheet.

Which also seems like a correct line of thinking to me. In younger developing countries, more money is created by individuals/businesses via credit. Central banks don't need a large balance sheet to encourage more lending, banks already have a high demand for loans and have very high interest rates for credit.

In older/developed countries, less money is created by individuals/businesses via credit. So central banks are forced to increase the size of their balance sheet which allows banks to offer more money for lending by reducing the interest rates because without low interest rates, there will be no credit growth.
>and when half of the front page is glorified camgirls, it undermines that.

Half of the front page has never been glorified camgirls. This is just more moral panic. Amouranth is practically the only streamer who is pulling enough numbers to be in the top 10 of any section. The featured section of twitch has never featured hot tub streams. Of the top 5 hot tub streamers, as of writing, the top one with 800 viewers are otters (like the animal), 1 is a vtuber and another is a man.

The issue is incredibly overblown. Amouranth is the only one doing numbers regularly.

>More and more streamers are abandoning games and going for boring IRL garbage instead because that's what Twitch promotes.

That has nothing to do with hot tub streamers. Kai Cenat and Adin Ross are some of the largest growing streamers in the past year, and they are primary Just Chatting streamers. This really just feels like you are complaining about Eternal September. It sounds like you just don't like that the world is changing. "Old man yells at cloud".

>Some of us like to use twitch to see people playing games

Some of the largest streamers on Twitch don't play games. Expecting twitch to remain some "insider only country club for video games" is ridiculous. No one is forcing you to watch hot tub streams. Getting recommended a titty streamer won't kill you. It really just comes across that you are mad that there are women on the platform doing stuff you don't like. It's arbitrary censorship; I doubt you would accept this kind of censorship on any other platform. And even then, when you look at the hard numbers for these titty streamers it's incredibly hard to take the moral panic seriously. Amouranth is only one doing numbers (and she is literally an outlier, I believe she is like top 10 on onlyfans as well) and the rest have fewer viewers than a Zoo's livestream.
Did I say they are equally ar fault?

No. I said you can dig up scum of all stripes. Politicians, brain-washed groupies, social activists pro- and con-, the wilfully criminal who shed ethics for pay, and on and on. The problem is bigger than your myopic political bias, and its solution requires more than taking sides: it requires full prosecution of anyone engaged in unlawful shenanigans.

That is the point of these bonds. They're indexed to inflation. Which is great when inflation is high.
On one hand, there are 7 federal reserve board governors. They're appointed for 14 year terms and don't have to worry about being re-elected. They are, generally speaking, economists and spend their time thinking about money.

On the other hand, there are 535 members of congress. They're elected to 2 or 6 year terms and do need to worry about being re-elected. They are, generally speaking, lawyers and career politicians and spend their time thinking about how to fuck over the other party.

It looks good to investors to see a lot of openings, so some companies that are not growing (that is they are in a great market that is small and won't grow) will go through that act of looking for people without hiring anyone. That is they get the job description of existing people, and post ads for that job, collect resumes, (they might do an initial phone screen interview for practice) but never hire anyone.
You are right, it could be. The problem is that its the kind of thing that would be almost impossible to disprove if it were false. So you can always raise doubts about a supposed disproof.

But it'd be really easy to prove if it were true and noone has offered proof. And there've been plenty of people who've looked for such proof, afaict.

My default assumption in such cases is that it is likely false.
