Google's Latest Legacy Gmail for Domains Fiasco: Increasing Storage
I am a charter user of Google's GMail for Domains, which has been shuffled around and nearly cancelled with no migration path back earlier this year. The latest issue is that each user with a GMail for Domains account is limited to 15GB total storage WITH NO OPTION TO BUY ADDITIONAL STORAGE, and still no way to migrate easily to a standard GMail account.

Google PLEASE offer an option to migrate GMail for Domains accounts to regular GMail accounts. I've had it with Google!
Is this a prelude to pushing out the retirement age even further?

I don’t mind working but at some point I don’t want it to be about survival and more about keeping busy and helping society.
Since the notification area, like on mobile, tends to become full of garbage, users rightfully do not expect it to be a place where hyper-critical information like this will appear, or at least not using the same format. Further, this wording is inadequate. The vast majority of people would reasonably not understand that dragging your pictures back to the My Pictures folder, where they already were moments ago, is what the message means by "creating files in this profile". Further still, there's no reason for Windows to choose not to behave in a reasonable way in this scenario (e.g. prevent writes to the profile, or show a dialogue when you try to write using Explorer, saying "if you do this, the files will be deleted").

>Although I suppose by definition you might not be willing to do that...

That's not part of the definition. Would have much fewer of the things kicking around if they precluded their own distribution, no?

Thankfully the ones that do are a subset, otherwise basilisk spotting would be a much more introspective activity.
That made me laugh out loud. Somebody should write that scenario as a short story for all people who love or hate task management. And for me, please.
> On the other hand, getting a new job while you have a major health issue is much harder while keeping an existing job is not because companies can’t discriminate based on employee health

As far as I know, employers are free to terminate anyone having health issues that render them unable to perform their duties:

https://work.chron.com/termination-employment-due-ill-health...

FMLA (if employer has more than 50 employees) or a state disability law might protect employment for up to 12 weeks or so, but other than that, there is no reason a business has to keep a sick employee who cannot fulfill duties on payroll.
Yeah, that's definitively not enough notification.

When you have a similar problem on Linux, and you home is inaccessible or read-only, you get an almost screen-sized dialog, no desktop background (something hard to replicate on your settings), and the system theme (that is probably different from your DE's default).
Many good tips so far in this thread. If your friend reads a lot of papers, they might be able to "leap" into classics without being bogged down by the language and sometimes dense prose - but I'd still err on the side of accessible for getting someone into reading for pleasure.

I'd recommend for example (in no particular order - just some great books imnho):

Earthsea quartet by LeGuin

Dune by Herbert

South of the Border by Murakami

Islands in the Net by Sterling

Foundation trilogy by Asimov

Speed of Dark, by Moon

Accelerando, by Stross

Murderbot diaries, by Wells

A Fire Upon the Deep, by Vinge (and Rainbow's End by same)

2312, by Robinson

And many more, I'm sure :)
I'm asking at a personal level, because in the US this genetic discrimination is against federal law, and I (personally) have 0 fear that an insurance company will seek out and use this information to illegally discriminate against me.

Are you worried that companies will not respect this law? Or are you not US based.
It's trivial to set it up for the attacker. If you have a Linux laptop you can set up a redirect for all the traffic on the network through your machine with two commands, then there's plenty of tools that will intercept any incoming HTTPS certificate, replace it with your own, the decrypt the traffic. It sounds like a lot but anyone can set this up in about 15 minutes - that's why I said it's trivial.

The user mistake is just clicking "advanced" then "proceed". I know all my family members would do that without questioning.
You can use PIV for SSH just fine.

It's not OpenSSH's weird FIDO mode, but I don't like the FIDO mode anyway because it requires storing a file on the computer.

I have a hard time imagining being able to use Emacs as effortlessly with Microsoft Exchange emails as I can with Outlook. I use org-mode todos, and Outlook tasks, and it might be nice to integrate, but I'm not going to bother trying, tbh.

Outlook notes are terrible, imo. Switched to using org-mode with org-crypt, and its worked pretty well, except I have an entry that won't decrypt anymore, and I'm not sure what has happened.
I think one of the problems was to provide only the kernel and leave implementing the userland to people building different distributions. This has led to an incredible amount of replication of work, inconsistencies and incompatibilities and IMHO was one of the reasons Linux on the desktop never caught on.
>In particular, the dramatic rebalancing of power relations between men and women over the last few decades has rendered old modes of masculinity — especially men's role as family breadwinner — obsolete.

They aren't obsolete. The mere notion of this is laughable to anyone spending a bit of time looking around.

What happened was the standards cranking up to 11 and either the rewards aren't visible, or they simply aren't there. In addition, there's far more entertainment available and children are no longer seen as an automatic achievement. Some might even say, having kids is actively discouraged in the upper circles.

>Feminist writer Susan Faludi has pointed out that many men are "clinging to a phantom status." She's right, of course.

Based on what? I don't necessarily see men clinging onto a "phantom status" as much as their (potential) lover, family, friends and business network not giving a hoot unless their status is deemed great. Men are still primarily judged on status, not the other way around.

>He is not the only one. A common thread running through many of the challenges facing men is the culture shock of women's economic independence.

The article really misses nuance on this whole "economic independence" thing. Yes, women got "more economically independent". No, they can't just start families on their own and get by. In many countries, they can't even get a decent home (dual income households say hello). Check the demands of typical college-educated women, and then compare with the available pool of men. Now compare to the current education system, the way society works and what is happening with starting wages. There simply aren't enough men for all those women, and it's evident most women aren't willing to drop their standards yet. Meanwhile, men aren't willing to "step up", as popular lingo would like to claim.

The author correctly identifies so many things, only to come to the most safe conclusion. The same conclusion which has yet to be proven correct.
I don't understand why bike lanes on one-way street don't go in the opposite direction of cars.

> Agricultural societies can subjugate conquered lands so much faster than hunter gatherer and nomadic peoples.

Nomadic people are quite capable of conquering land, the most obvious example being Genghis Khan, who managed to build the Mongol empire into the largest in human history.

It is true there is a general trend in history of agricultural societies displacing hunter/gather societies, but that's simply because agriculture generates more calories per square kilometer than a hunter/gatherer lifestyle. As populations grow beyond the carrying capacity of the natural environment, hunter/gatherers either forced to adopt agriculture or get conquered by the larger armies of those people that have.

DIY Wind Tunnel Aims to Educate the Youth
Been putting together a spreadsheet of self-hosted file apps and trying them out. Still haven't found something that meets all my requirements. Does anything exist with:

* Automatic album generation based on detection of an "event", e.g. a cluster of photos taken together around the same time, organizing them in a folder, even better using an optional album title, e.g. 2022-06-24 - Picnic at the Park

* Modern UX

* Mobile support

* If no sync support, at least the detection of new files in a folder, say from syncthing

These are the core features IMHO, and everything else is icing. I'm basically looking for something that can replace Google Photos in a reasonable way.
I agree, user research is an invaluable skill of a good UI/UX developer. I guess this is a roadmap, not a guide, and the author makes a passing mention of it, so I consider that sufficient.

As a UI developer, I’ve never actually learned to conduct user research (skill that I’m definitely lacking), but during my time in the industry I’ve definitely learned to listen to my graphic designers that actually conduct these research, both to listen to and materialize their interpretation, and to bring my own interpretation. As a novice UI/UX developer I for sure had a lot of biases about user interaction which were deeply flawed, UI/UX research is a really helpful tool in braking these biases.
Technology Vendor Risk – Check the Product Strategy and Roadmap (2021)
Yeah and I'm digging into this because I personally would much prefer that these GWAS studies have access to my genome and medical data, so they can design drugs for whatever my specific genotype is. I think it's far more likely that this will benefit me and my children, than hurt me.

I'm not telling other people they are wrong to be afraid, but I want to understand the exact mechanism of those fears.

- Can't make nukes that small (you literally can't fit critical mass in that size I think, afaik smallest developed ever are 155mm artillery shells)

- massive mess if it goes wrong in any way

- putting nukes in space is banned by treaty and would be an ugly precedent

-Japan has committed to not making nukes and has for obvious historical reasons a difficult relationship with the topic.

(If Japan wanted to become a nuclear power, they relatively easily could for a country that doesn't have any, but that would be a major thing and not a side thing of some science project)

Why would anyone write such an article on something that still has to go through the senate?

I actually had to check how delusional they were, because it wasn't clear, like maybe it started in the senate or this was just a procedural reconciliation for something that had passed in the senate.

Nope it only passed the house, and yep there are 3 months left before all outstanding bills get deleted from consideration.

And with 57% of the House voting for it, this “weird bipartisan coalition” would not be enough for the Senate, if the same distribution of support was mirrored (unlikely, lots of stuff passed the house). You would need 60% of the Senate.
What is really really funny to me is something like Mt Kilimanjaro. Obviously 10,000 feet shorter so an entirely different ballgame, but climbing it for the general population is like 7-8 days. I believe that is stictly the climb up time, although I may be wrong.

Anyway...

Kilimanjaro is a very accessible mountain for the ultra runners though. Kilian Jornet went from base camp to summit AND BACK in 7 hours 14 minutes, summit time was 5 hours and 23 minutes.

Karl Egloff has summited in 4:56.

I really really want to know what some sort of EPO'd up superelite runner could do up Everest. Especially since almost all the tourists use supplemental oxygen.

So if you're in 50% of the shape of Kilian Jornet, then you could theoretically summit in 11 hours. Now there's a lot of danger involved in that, you need to determine if you get bad altitude sickness or hemmoraghing, so a lot of test runs up smaller summits is obviously required.

Anyway, you have these tourists taking 7-8 days, and some runner does it in FIVE FREAKING HOURS. Imagine hiking along and some runner comes scorching by and knowing they are going up and down the mountain in a time less than your daily hike that day.

Back in my ironman-finishing (not Hawaii-class) I was considering training to do that. This Everesting thing would be a great peak ironman training day.

Alas, I have dadbod these days.
Ask HN: Ideas for a subtle but pleasant home office aroma?
I'm considering trying to give my home office a nice aroma and looking for ideas on how to do that. I'm interested to hear both about potential approaches as well as recommendations for scents to try.

So far I'm thinking a reed diffuser with something like pine or eucalyptus scent.
This is a legacy setup that can no longer be created. Microsoft removed the option to use a custom domain for Microsoft accounts many years ago, but hasn't forced people to change.

However, your friend can get out of this scenario by following the instructions on this site:

They'll end up with <whatever_they_can_find>@outlook.com for their Microsoft account. When using Org services via a browser, you'll automatically use your Org account. When using consumer services, you'll automatically use your Microsoft account (assuming you've selected stay sign-in for both).

I remember joining a gamelan music group and meeting Danny a few years back. He would bring books to rehearsals and sometimes read during them. I had no idea he had such a huge collection of reviews online, apparently completely devoid of advertising and SEO and with only a tasteful/light social media presence. This sort of sharing was the promise of the old-school web. It's such a nice surprise to stumble upon these reviews via HN.
It seems to be a Stadia fan site so the reason for this article existing is that they need to keep a steady stream of Stadia news and puff pieces. They're just trying to come up with positive things to say about Stadia, not trying to actually come up with true insights about the broader industry.

SLR was a technology to enable viewing the subject through the lens when another kind of eyefinder with a through-the-lens view was not possible.

I thought this too. Though there is a treaty (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_Nuclear_Test_Ban_Treat...) which bans nuclear detonations in space.
I think it depends a lot on your process as well. I should have added that we use Jira+Confluence and every merge commit starts with

ENG-1234 | Does the needful with foobar

So most of the context is in the tickets, which then point to design docs. The code has very high percentage of docstrings, very high type coverage (for Python anyways), so there's really not much to be had in commit messages. We are a small (<20) team of engineers in a fast-moving year-old startup. Very tight slack comms. PRs to main are often single-digit lines, typically a few dozen, and anything more than a few hundred LOC is considered suboptimal.

I think if you are running an open-source project, with lots of disparate contributors, using Git as your main knowledge base, with bigger PRs, it's a very different ballgame. I think in that situation I would be team history.
"Ignorance is bliss" is rather cliched but fairly profound and truthful.
Business and engineering styles can both work together. What I do is alternate one week of engineering (coding, writing docs, etc) with one week of business (marketing, sales calls, writing blog posts, etc.).

This was recommended to me by Jon Yongfook who got to 10k MRR this way last year and is now at 50k MRR, all by following this pattern [0]. He's also an engineer by trade but found that this alternating business and engineering week approach is extremely effective for solo founders, especially solo engineers who'd usually let their marketing fall by the wayside as they focus on coding then wonder how their startup failed after they got no customers.

So the only (weak) conclusion mentioned is the possibility that men are less ambitious/driven/motivated, meandering around from major to major; from job to job, while women know what they want and do everything possible to achieve it.

Which is odd, it seems like almost a reversal of the typical gender stereotypes (men are strong, ambitious, career driven; women are fragile lilies who don't really know what they want).

I'm curious, is this limited to the United States? And is it possibly something biological? (declining testosterone?)

Clickbait. I see this all the time, usually a headline about some crazy revolutionary new bill only to find out it either just got passed the house, or hasn’t even got that far.

I'm not understanding where or what he's basing his statements on? This seems to be the bill he's referencing: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/228 It's extremely short and can be easily read, it's a fraction as long as the article.

The bill seems to do nothing except change various filing fees, and give ~half a billion to the FTC and DoJ Antitrust Division. I base this on the text of the bill as well as the bill's description itself: "This bill modifies and expands the schedule for graduated merger filing fees and requires that such fees be adjusted each year based on the Consumer Price Index."
What do you think the primary use is?
Oh, they do, pretty widely, and it is concerning.

During a recent move, I found my WikiReader [0] from 2009 at the back of a drawer. Tossed some new AAA batteries in it and it fired right up. It contains a fairly complete offline copy of (2012-era) Wikipedia and some reference material for survival, medicine, farming, and repair of various mechanical and electrical devices. Remarkable little device for the $20 I paid for it.

I think the more overlap in understanding—better delivery teams perform. That doesn't mean product designers are writing production code or engineers are tweaking designs. But it does mean that designers understand limitations and consistency, while engineers understand what the general experience should feel like. I think that leads to a pretty tight feedback loop where things can be iterated on quickly and there's not a lot of noise with arguing about what's possible or not.

Is the theory being presented that 5 years old boys have inherently lower internal drive and direction than 5 years old girls? In my world, providing motivating and directions to 5 years olds is generally the responsibility of adults.
I'm surprised more PC/Console AAA games aren't being written/ported for iPads and M1 Mac's since they have really good CPUs, GPUs and fast storage. Why is that? Is it because of Apple's insistence on Metal?

The mobile games market has exploded hugely, there's definitely a big market there.
Some games use Vulkan only on Stadia, for example Cyberpunk 2077 — the Linux+Vulkan build was reportedly one of the most stable at release day, but was available only on Stadia and only because of Stadia, as main development target was Windows with DirectX then ported over to consoles.

This is some kind of typo, but I think the idea is that increasing pay for the 1% most desirable candidates ends up increasing it across the industry for everyone else, even though they aren't public.

Citation needed, I think.

It's pretty easy to construct an equally rigorous argument about why transparency will increase median salaries: employers will keep fighting over the top 1%, and this will now have a direct effect on salaries, as the author describes in an earlier tweet.
