How it is possible to not let send messages containing name of a first victim when WhatsApp should have end to end encryption? Kinda weird
If you email me to tell me "pay for your terminal and we'll ship it to you within 2 weeks" and instead of shipping it to me in two weeks you tell me, "thanks for the cash, we decided to send it to you in 18 months," then the problem is not that I'm in an oversubscribed area. The problem is SpaceX is incompetent when it comes to basic logistics or is less than truthful regarding its service.
This is the problem with the classification “public workers”. While I haven’t been able to find the statistics, my understanding is that most local government budgets are dominated by school and police/fire department personnel. Indeed, I suspect that at the local level, there are very few bureaucrats to fire (perhaps building inspectors).

Red tape may have its costs (as well as benefits), but bureaucrats do not add a lot of tax burden at the local level, which is where most public sector jobs are.
Calling Shopify a Canadian Tech Startup is really getting old. At 10k+ employees the term “startup” should really stop being applied to it. It is really big, and many of its execs are from huge American banks. So even “Canadian” may soon cease to be a valid label for it.
Colloquially, lot of places use 12h - it's always "we're going to the restaurant at 8", never "at 20" or "at 20:00", at least in the countries I've lived or visited. But officially it's still 24h - which may be more confusing or less confusing, depending on your point of view.

And times (with timezones, and leap seconds, and DST, and so on) add another level of fun to it.
7 also resolves to Sunday, but doesn't take away from the fact that the first index [0] is Sunday.
Because in general people don't give a shit about whether something is unconstitutional, so you need to look for angles that describe issues people do care about.
just fyi the author's pronouns are they/them ( they're in their twitter bio )
Mhm. My bias is not exclusive to Crypto. I need the value prop to be obvious. I’ve worked for a company where it wasn’t and nothing makes a job more miserable than pivoting every four months because everyone’s just playing startup and nobody has any clue where to aim.
Can their contacts and calendar be synced with Android?
Totally. But revenue and profit expectations don’t align with it.
In your other post you referred to my kind and conquering me. Can you explain what that even means?

My kind is American or more broadly Westerner I suppose and I was not aware of any effort to conquer me.
No to "counter offers", unless they are golden handcuffs. Usually, golden handcuffs are given to C-level executives.
I read a lot on RR too and support a half dozen authors on patreon. But I've also seen those authors complaining when their work gets pirated from RR or patreon and put elsewhere. It's a good model but I don't think it is any more immune to loss of earnings from piracy then the models that have gone before.
One, how do you know I am a dude? I am, but you're assuming. Two, I did not compare them, I explicitly said they are NOT equivalent, even accounting for the type of female genital mutilation where the clitoris is merely nicked.
I agree, my pack is the first I ever bought as an adult, an upgrade in volume, materials and comfort from my Vietnam era cadet issued pack. While there is quite the difference between those two, most differences to a normal modern pack are minor. I'm disappointed it's approaching time to replace it as it feels like home, but some of the fabric is rapidly degrading with repair seeming unlikely.
My guess for the ring is that it was excess charge from the bolt dissipating. My guess is that it wouldn't have hurt you much, probably would have just made your hair stand on end, as the charge would cause your hairs to repel each other, which is probably what was making the grass stand up.

All the same, probably good you jumped over it, just in case.
In the US at least that would get close to the cost of a small car with insurance and gas. However I assume the equivalent in UK would be more especially considering parking and intercity fees.

Sounds like the commuter rail is pricing itself just below the cost of a car.
> Because genuine supply chain problem-induced price increases gave them cover to increase prices on things without supply chain problems.

Or maybe the supply chain problems bubbled out to affect more and more things? Or maybe there was an actual general devaluing of the currency? Might want to employ a razor here.

> And also because in late 2020/early 2021, it appeared that labor was about to get a bit uppity and wee bit more powerful than it had been, so price increases were a nice preemptive move to deal with upcoming compensation issues.

This reads as "the cabal of big capital got together and decided to raise prices across the board because they were worried about labor power". You realize this makes you sound like a conspiracy theorist right?
> Just to give one possible example that could open new secondary income streams for publishing houses: why don't publishing houses sell rights for remixing or generating derived works of their published works, for example so that fanfiction becomes legal if the fanfiction author paid his fee instead of - as of today - fanfiction being in a legal grayzone?

Coz they'd prefer to control the supply and get all the profits while giving actual writers a pittance and having in their contracts that anything they write belongs to corporation that paid them. Similar deal with code really...
Why would you look at localized growth rates?

Why? Because so many users just run the browser in full screen mode because they don’t how or simply can’t be bothered to manage windows, not because they actually want their screen filled edge to edge with text.

So because long lines are hard to read, line length is clamped to at least provide a decent experience to all those users.

This does nothing for when it's a map of string to array of map of string to string. Shape is not meaning, and naming things helps communicate meaning.
In SF's BLM protests, they were completely separate groups.
No. It starts from the creation story where creation starts on Sunday and ends on Friday and then the seventh day (Saturday) is the day of rest - the sabbath.

You are thinking of how Jesus is said to resurrect on the first day of the week (I.e., Sunday) and later that becomes the Sabbath day for (most) Christians.
Of course SpaceX would use differential pricing.

Once the satellites are up there orbiting, they might as well be earning income for as much of each orbit as they can. Zero marginal cost to do so. So SpaceX's prices in each market will be low enough to be competitive in each market.

The caveat to that is that they're still taking a large loss on each user terminal, so they have to make that back over the expected life of a contract.
That would be significantly less funny and interesting.
That "Awk incantation" looks clear to me.

- On lines that contain //d,

- Delete the part of the line up to and including //d,

- Print the file, line number, and the rest of the line.

Maybe it's familiarity with regular expressions? If you're not familiar with regular expressions, that Awk is gonna look a bit funny. The regular expressions look a bit messy just because they have to match literal slashes, so you get /\/\/

There is no use of funny features or clever tricks in the code, it's just kind of straightforward, mindless code that does exactly what it says it does. It's definitely less clever than the Awk invocation that I wrote (which is a good thing).
> Per-person statistics mean literally nothing when we're talking about a global problem that doesn't care about man-made boundaries.

As the climate doesn't care about man-made boundaries, isn't that all the more reason gauge emissions on a per-capita basis, without reference to borders?

> to elaborate, if I was allowed to immigrate to China I'd lower my per-capita emissions overnight and be a better citizen in the world. Or if Canada allowed mass immigration and tripled our population our per-capita would drop like a rock. Except I highly doubt it works that way and would solve climate change...

If migration could lower per-capita emissions as you describe, wouldn't that count in favour of that migration? (Of course, we also ought to consider any variation in per-capita emissions both in locations with net immigration and in locations with net emigration.) Maybe economies of scale help explain lower per-capita emissions in some locations (but not necessarily at national level).
I wonder how expensive they are to produce now and have they managed to break even. Gwen Shotwell told the press that their costs were around 1300 with some updated model that was released in early 2021, she said that in April. Since then there was second gen antenna made, that is, I presume, cheaper to produce. And there was leaked email of Musk in late 2021 that was talking about need to get v2 sats working so amount of terminals they are ordering could make sense(email was about their need to fix Raptor 2 production in order to do this). Then they upped their prices in March of this year and IMO this could be a sign of break even point(not sure though).
They’re unaligned with rsync.net’s goal of getting people to pay for services.

Edit: to pay a minimum of $12/month??
> - Per my knowledge US is the only country which stubbornly (and illogically) considers Sunday to be the first day of the week;

Japan does too; I blame the American occupation (and plenty of other illogical things).
It's not to avoid the difficulty, it's to make iteration safer and easier. Good luck seeing what failed if the craft that failed is flying somewhere between earth and mars
That’s some funky reasoning. Most Americans will not move overseas to get lower cost of living, so rural areas are a good substitute. Likewise, cost is not the only consideration, also quiet and privacy.

Teleporting would still require energy and therefor money. Plus wearing pants. So I think the biggest problem is coming up with: A) A network protocol for quantum entaglement. B) porting the Zoom client to the Yapple N1 architecture, the most recent Alien Processing Unit from the company Yapple, named by the popular yapple fruit on the planet Mostly Sand. (Yes, they also named their planet after the material that was under their feet, which they regret after joining the United Planets) Yapple recently used 1.2% of the company’s cash reserves to buy up their only competitor’s architectual IP, their workforce, factories, land, workers, workers families, cities, countries, planets, solar systems and galaxies. So luckily for Zoom developers, there is only one port to be done.
And we know our first reaction will be to cut interest rates.

> So aside from accuracy, what's the difference between training with the feedback of timed laps on a track (be it Bannister's mechanical stopwatch and cinder track measured in imperial units), or a modern athlete running kilometer repeats on the road via their fancy Apple or Garmin smartwatch?

One gives useful feedback at a scale that is practical and sufficient and does so at a small cost, the other tracks information at scales beyond what is practical, the true purpose of which is obsession with self or vanity, at a comparatively exponential cost.

Consider that car odometers work on the scale of tenths of miles or kilometers. Exactly what purpose would it serve if they instead displayed distances in micrometers? They would be far more accurate, but that more accurate information is not any more useful than measurements in tenths of miles.

I already stipulated to go ahead and get your Apple Watch, or Garmin or what have you, if it makes you happy. But accumulating data on such absurd scales is not going to improve performance beyond that of using a conventional timer. The problem, as I see it, occurs when nothing less than perfection is acceptable, the entitlement that is exhibited simply because one was foolish enough to pay so much for an unnecessary sports accessory.
You're looking at weekly religious gatherings through rose-colored lenses. A crossfit gym membership and book club could very well produce a far healthier local community than a church. Religion does not have a monopoly on the variables that attract healthy, thoughtful, intelligent people (in fact, trends in the US suggest quite the opposite).
Starlink is absolutely a way to keep SpaceX launching rockets, but that doesn't make it busywork. It's revolutionary and immensely valuable.

And, any theorized environmental impact has to be compared to the existing natural process of space dust falling into the atmosphere, and measured against the saved costs worldwide of wires and cell towers and travel not needed, especially as capacity increases in the future. Which is practically impossible to measure, but failing to account for difficult-to-measure costs is a classic error people make when evaluating things like this. And of course there's the extra benefits of coverage over oceans and poles and to ships and planes that you can't get any other way.
I would think it would be at least reckless homicide. IANAL.
No, it's not. MD5 can still protect you from someone modifying the file without changing the hash.
There's no strong reason for 12 months.

7 days per week seems to be so ubiquitous now because religions that depended on that particular cycle (Judaism originally, and from thence Christianity and Islam) are so popular. But, historically, societies have successfully existed with weeks ranging anywhere from 5 to 10 days. Romans, in particular, had an 8-day week for most of their history.

(7 days per week has a more natural meaning if your calendar is lunar overall, so that weeks can be aligned with months. But lunar calendars are overall very messy due to disagreements with the solar cycle, so it's best to not go there in the first place.)
well yeah thats the gimmick with these things, ultra minimalist drop in css. its not like its hard to modify later on

In Hebrew the days of the week don't really have names. They are simply called (direct translation here) "first day" "second day" etc. Except for Saturday which is called "Shabbat" instead of "seventh day".
And, breathing air is buoyant.

N2 is only 13% of the atmosphere, but if my calculations are right, that means a very great deal more nitrogen than we have, just dissolved into a lot more air.

To terraform, release machines that crack CO2 in the clouds and drop diamonds. You release way too much oxygen, but that will bind to the surface minerals. Main thing is to keep the carbon from oxidizing again before you're ready.
> I get that this is supposed to be funny, but the indirect message of getting rid of whatever doesn't make conscious sense is simplistic, and spoils the fun for me.

Do you also hate every story ever told? The point of a story is to say what matters.

> Humans are stupid, very funny.

It is funny. You should try laughing at how dumb we are. It's fun.

HN users really love to congratulate themselves for being such high IQ contrarians. Here, I'll snarkily summarize your message for you just as you did the twitter thread: let me explain this joke to you, but in a way that shows why I'm too smart to enjoy it.

yeah, same. they really need to be blocked from HN, permanently.
Yes, it being at the bottom is certainly annoying.
I learned to type on my first non-traditional keyboard using a previous game from these devs, "Icarus Proudbottom Teaches Typing". Similar offbeat sense of humor (though, if playing Sousa marches taught me anything, shouldn't the horns be off-beat instead?) It was a Flash game but there surely must still be a way to play it.
> understanding what they are doing works almost every time.

To be fair, understanding what they are doing requires being smart yourself (usualy not as smart as coming up with it in the first place, but only usually), and while smartness isn't always or completely unlearnable, in practice it's usually hard and/or impractical, especially if you're not smart to begin with.

Of course, distinguishing (honest) smart people from (possibly smart) con artists also generally requires being smart, so that doesn't help much.

Totally fair - my company has high revenues (unlike 99% of crypto) and we are essentially a digital Pokémon card company, and we resell our Pokémon card factory to others white label. It is a very straight forwards and logical business model.
Magnificent logic: since a certain catastrophi outcome did not occur in the past it's impossible to occur in the future.
Heck, I've even been almost jealous of the ones who got laid off once, at a company that was starting to circle the drain. They were effectively being paid to job hunt with the severance package.
Well, Perl kinda started where SED and AWK finished, and it does incorporate a lot of syntax from them, for better or worse.

> people at the lower end of the wage scale

I don't think anyone commutes from the Home Counties to a job at Pret. People on lower income still live in London, just in not as great housing. People on the train are people who can afford the choice of a luxury of a home in a village or the countryside instead of London.
Ask HN: How to get some money on the side using my SRE and DevOps experience?
Hi, I worked as a System Administrator and DevOps for last 10 years, but right now I experienced burnout and had to quit my job. My savings are running out but I still don't feel I'll be able to work full time without it detrimentally affecting my mental health.
I was thinking about doing some tutoring and did some of that for my friends studying IT, and for my mental health it seems optimal, as I like doing it and don't feel mental strain associated with doing my job. I also wrote a Linux tutorial long ago and was thinking about doing more of this as it turns out that I really like to teach, but life and full time job interfered with those plans. For those interested my tutorial is saved here: https://archive.is/xDb8o

Please tell me if you know how I can earn some money doing Linux tutoring and maybe mentoring, maybe through some companies or communities interested in that. I have a decade of experience working with Linux, FreeBSD, computers networks, and so on and so forth up to modern things and practices like Chaos Engineering, AWS, CI/CD, Ansible and so on.

Also I might be able to do some part-time jobs with load of several hours per day, if you know where I should seek for those I'd be grateful too.

Also, if you start in March, it suddenly makes sense that leap year adjustments are done in February (and also that it's the shortest month to begin with).
The world is around 60% urbanized, so there are still 3 billion people in rural areas. Quite a stretch to call that number negligible.
Russian is similar to Portuguese, albeit off by one.

Monday = Segunda (second) = понедельник (start of the week)

Tuesday = Terça (third) = вторник (second)

Wednesday = Quarta (fourth) = среда (middle)

Thursday = Quinta (fifth) = Четверг (fourth)

Friday = Sexta (sixth) = пятница (fifth)

So I guess Russians have no doubt as to when the week starts.

Another user mentioned that it was Sweden: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_calendar
They didn't have too many personal names in general, IIRC about 20 or so commonly used, including numeric ones (there's even Decimus - I guess they had big families). And looking at how Ceasar is always Julius Ceasar (while his personal name was Gaius) it looks like they didn't use it too much outside of family and close friends. Which kinda makes sense - if you know 10 guys with personal name Gaius, it's not very useful to say just "we're having a party at Gaius' place tonight".
"Next" has terrible ambiguity, beyond the phrase "next week." If it's Monday and someone says "next Thursday" do they mean the coming Thursday (+3) or the one after that (+10)? I assume the latter, except when it's said by people who I know disagree!

But even with people I don't put in that category, I'd hesitate to assume +13 days if they said "next Sunday" on Monday. More likely they mean +6 when it's so far out...

I wonder if there's an intuitive ratio here, like 10 freezes for every layoff, and 10 slowdowns for every freeze

Freezes and slowdowns don't really need to get announced. We've definitely seen an uptick in candidate quality (we're especially keen on an open position in data to work w/ DOJ leadership on-site in DC!), and while the growing graph AI market can explain some of the interest, the broader industry slowdowns elsewhere have to be part of it.
