Silly string was my first thought because my friends and I used to try (semi successfully) to make costumes applying it like they do. It worked best with a near empty can when it comes out fragmented like in the video.

> What kind of harm do you think it does for kids to hear this speech?

I guess it depends on what you mean by "harm". Hearing it every once in a while, it is certainly unlikely to affect them. But if it's frequent enough (as seems to be the case in the gaming community), it will set a level of normalization that I don't want to instill in my kids.

That being said, this is my own personal opinion, and no one else should feel obligated to share it.

I heard great things about this book called Atomic Habits, so I bought it. Unfortunately I could never remember to read it, and I'm not sure where it is now.
One of the most worrying attitudes I see held by humans is “don’t worry we have near limitless sources of X” — whether X be water, forests, land, energy, atmosphere, etc.

I really liked Isaac Asimov’s “The Final Question” for exploring the attitude that humanity has near limitless resources. Unfortunately for us, we may not have faster than light travel to exploit the resources of our universe.
Is this actually true? It says there is a chinese police station in NYC. Where? I looked at the NGO's pdf and didn't see an address.

It's unclear exactly what having a "police station" means. Has the NGO reported the CCP taking actions in foreign countries against Chinese nationals? The stories are all about getting at them by threatening family in China.
The best work experience I ever had was working in a warehouse where I just unpacked and repacked lumber all day. It was a lot of nonstop lifting. I felt happy when I went home because I felt like I worked hard and got stuff done and it was really good exercise too. I did that work because I didn't know what I REALLY wanted to do after quitting my job (disillusionment and naive startup dreams without knowing what it took to succeed) and I wanted to experience hard work that wasn't in an office (i.e. work in the trenches).

Someone I knew told me I could work in his warehouse. It's too bad that it was so low pay. If the pay wasn't the issue, I wonder if staying at that kind of job would actually be really good for me. I would be physically healthy, my mind would be clear and refreshed all the time, and I would feel good about having worked hard every day. Would the positive effect still last if I did that work for years, or was the positive effect only temporary because it was a novel experience to me at the time (and I didn't care about the low pay at the time)? Interesting to consider.
> You have poor architecture, poor tagging, poor VPC design, poor IAM policy and role modelling or don't know what you are doing to start with.

I would flip it around and say that historically AWS has had extremely inconsistent architecture and IAM policy design that can make it very hard, sometimes impossible, to do it the "right way".

The nice thing about using separate accounts is you don't have to get into as many of the hairy weeds and the permissions you end up might end up being much simpler to create and then also to maintain down the road, since everything is isolated by default and then you allowlist only the things you need.

I don't see why you would frame this as "you fucked up" in your design.
You know, the license is CC BY-NC-SA, not BY-NC-SA-ND. You have every legal right to finish it. (Did he publish the LaTeX source too, or do you have to reverse-engineer it?)
In the video it looks like one of the assistants sprays across the front of her legs, but from the side, so that a lot of strands are crossing the gap in her legs. Only then they moved around the front and started applying over these supporting strands.
I see it as "depression with an onset in early life, probably from neglectful parenting".

Tell HN: PayPal now allows to bypass 2FA with a SMS login
Last week I started receiving SMS with PayPal security codes and then got a notification about someone adding a card to my account and withdrawing $1.5k.

2FA was disabled because it doesn't work in Safari (including logging in from their iOS app, imagine this), so I blamed myself, turned it on, reported the unauthorized transaction to PayPal… and had $1.5k more withdrawn to a newly added card two days later!

Apparently, there is an option of an SMS-based login(!!!) where they send you a 6-digit code that allows for a login without 2FA:
https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Managing-Account/How-do-I-disable-one-time-codes/td-p/2835147

I don't know if the SMS gateway to my Chilean number is leaky or if they just brute-forced the code, but here we are. Also, no confirmation is needed to add new cards and make withdrawals even when 2FA is enabled.

(Yes, I know keeping money at non-bank payment services isn't good, but withdrawing it from there meant a conversion to my local currency which nowadays devalues much faster than USD. Greed got me.)
That was my first association as well.
Where? They're out of stock everywhere as far as I can see.

They've been selling them at profit since the middle of last year [1], following the trend set the previous gen of consoles making profit on hardware in less than a year. Things in gaming, both in terms of prices and how consoles approach the business, has changed quite radically in the past ~decade.

I have a similar experience. It is the emotional detachment from otherwise emotionally salient things that catches people off guard. Sometimes it is interpreted as "dark humor" or "deep cynicism" when the person offering the insight means it only in a realist/stoic sense.
In the UK, I've seen a lot of vendors (when they do get stock in) only sell them as part of a bundle, with power adapter, case, SD card, usb and hdmi cables etc, which adds £20-£30 onto the price of the Pi.

Probably partly as it's extra profit, but also to discourage multi-buys I guess. I dunno if it discourages the scalpers.

These bundles never appear on rpilocater.

Sometimes verifying the little details can get in the way of publication velocity. It's a risk many advanced scientists take because the chance of getting caught (publishing something that is later shown to be obviously false using careful control experiments) is low, and the risk to your career of being second to publish.
I suppose, Postgres is portable, but it's portable to multi-tasking operating systems with virtual memory (which puts in a rather broad category of programs). This goes beyond wrapping how various system calls work on various platforms, but rather changing how accesses are generated, e.g. so backend 1 sees memory location 1 for its global field, backend 2 sees memory location 2 for that same global variable etc. Unlike functions that are frequently wrapped, there is no error code (save ones generated by a processor, e.g. segfault or bus error) or function called for loading an address.

Long story short, I think the need to bypass MMU hardware emulation would prove among the most difficult problems. It will probably require assistance from the compiler, I don't know enough about WASM to guess how mature such relocations would be.

Yes. As an example, we use RPi in MusicBox[0], together with HifiBerry[1] sound card, as a music player appliance.

In fact, you can still buy (well, you could, if you could buy any) RPi 1's, since OEMs tend to standardize and stick to a platform. Our base platform is 1B+, for example.

I'm rusty but ADHD was HKD (hyperkinetic disorder) in the olden times and had a much, much tighter criteria pre DSM-5? Think incident rates in Europe is approx. <2% under ICD-10 vs >10% in America due to DSM.

The major diff. iirc was no comorbidity in the case of HKD.
If you were depressed or anxious you couldn't also have ADHD whereas in America we can just top up amphetamines with benzos and treat them both.

Make of that what you will $$.

Cool, will take a look (if I remember!)
This is how the united states fails - our education institutions fail to hold the bar and let the pillars of real education turn to sand.

Admittedly, initially in college I was a horrible student. But I got better, admittedly after re-taking a few classes. It cost me, but I learned from it. Not just maths but the lesson of having to grind and struggle to get better at something when it felt like I sucked and had zero intuition for weeks. The latter is what I still believe to be the true value and indicator of a college degree - willing to struggle at a hard thing you might knowingly suck at and keep going (fully knowing some people just master it in hours).
This is one of the biggest benefits to working from the office, at least for me. The mental shift between home and work is so much easier when they are very distinct physical places.
There Will Be Blood Explains the Crumbling Global Economy
Ebooks are absolutely malleable. New versions and patches are applied behind the scenes by publishers on a regular basis. And less frequently, these books are removed from publication completely, including pulling them from readers.

And given that even physical books have multiple releases with changes, they are not exactly written in stone either.

Whether this should be allowed is a topic in and of itself.
Duckegg: A Datalog / Egraph Implementation Built Around DuckDB
I started a little hardware project about a month ago. Was going to use one of my pre-existing Raspberry Pi's but the shield didn't get along with my existing cases and I didn't want to bother disassembling them.

Rather than remove one from their case, I decided to run to Microcenter to just grab a new one.

Nope. Not a single Raspberry Pi in stock. I was honestly shocked. I was completely unaware of the shortage.
The number of search results is plenty useful. Even for grammar! If spell checker isn't of help, use Google and see which option is more popular (I used to use it often when I wrote more in my native language, which has a few peculiarities). It can give valuable insight in popularity of different things.

I do hold the number of results trustworthy (not exact, but a good estimate). Having the index in the Inverted Index format, and efficient joins (solved problem), it's just about getting the size of the term list and summing over the shards. Something that Google anyway has to do for the regular retrieval.
In truly underdeveloped countries, the gas infrastructure is worse than the electric grid. EVs give the country an excuse to focus on one infrastructure instead of two. Underdeveloped countries are in a decent place to leapfrog the developed world on EV adoption because there's less reliance/inertia in existing gas infrastructure and vehicles.

(Just as some underdeveloped countries have been able to jump over transitionary steps in internet infrastructure and where they are seeing investments in internet infrastructure it is often faster on average than developed world averages because they jump straight to fiber everywhere skipping over many copper wire intermediaries.)
I think the article definitely overstates its case.

It's not true (or common, at least) that you can discover anything by skimming through random shelves in a library. Libraries are big and this method is unlikely to expose you to the whole range of diverse ideas and works out there; you'll just find some, possibly filtered by your own choice of library sections.

I do enjoy browsing the shelves of used book stores, though!
Whatever value we assign to the brand name "Uber", how do we appreciate the immense negative value in aggressively losing money with no end in sight? Surely that should figure into their valuation somehow.

I'm not sure their brand recognition can possibly get any better. It's been top-notch for years. All that's left is to make the unit economics work out. So, where are they on that?

Twitches Problem with Child Predators (Bloomberg, 2022)
I don’t know. For Hinge I definitely can instantly reject some people. But if I find them attractive I’ll look through the whole profile and try to see if I like who they’re presenting themselves as. They say it’s a numbers game - and quantity is important. But the optimal breakdown between quantity and quality actually still weighs pretty heavy on quality.

If I match with someone I want to be able to convey that this person gives me a strong vibe of compatibility. It makes the next steps of conversing and meeting a natural conclusion. I don’t think you can do this if you don’t know what you’re looking for or who you are or what life you’re trying to live. But this is all very straightforward if you can make it clear you’re looking for something specific - in my case a spouse to raise children with. Without a goal the path is not clear.
Bractlet | Remote - US only /Austin, TX | Full-time | Multiple Roles
We are a company trying to tackle climate change through energy efficiency. The built world (residential and commercial buildings) accounts for about 40% of carbon emissions. We aim to do something about that. In a nutshell, we turn the budget and energy consumption of a building into an engineering optimization problem using data (collected from the building with a proprietary IoT platform) and software. Our stack is primarily React, Rust, and Postgres on GCP.

We are looking for intelligent people who care about climate change. We are well funded and have the backing of important minds in our space. We are looking for:

- Staff Frontend Engineer
- Staff Backend Engineer
- Engineering Manager
- Full Stack Engineer

It's interesting how wildly differently we can interpret the same information.

>"Probably in this case the line employees are, on the most part, better informed than the management: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33067293"

For instance, I would not consider 2 days of training "highly trained". I believe it's true that the LANL area has one of the highest concentrations of PhDs, but I don't necessarily think that translates to being informed about all the risks. A PhD often means a lot of knowledge, but in a very narrow field. Sometimes, that level of education can be a detriment if it fosters a false sense of general ability. I've had many experiences of Masters and PhD chemists and engineers who felt, "Hey, I'm smart. I've written some cool VBA macros. I'm sure I can program this thing. It's just software." Smash-cut to hazardous releases that cause people to have to shelter in place or firefighters being called. They were subject matter experts in one area, but not smart enough to recognize their own ignorance outside their specialty. It didn't matter that they were experts in their field or front-line workers. I also think it's wild to me that your takeaway from the article is that blatantly disregarding best practices is acceptable. It's a bit of a jump to look at the evidence in the article and assume it must be okay, 'cause, you know, they're first line employees so they must know what they're doing so best practices need not apply. As someone who used to work in safety-critical software, it scares me when I read about this same cavalier SV attitude pervading into safety-critical design like autonomous vehicles.[1] Which relates to,

>"In general, line workers are the ones whose incentives are best aligned with safety"

I think we agree that their incentives are aligned. I think where we disagree is that people on the front lines aren't always acting as rational agents. I don't think they are because of a host of competing incentives and cognitive biases. Major catastrophes bear this out. Good examples are the Challenger or Columbia disasters at NASA. To your point, there was disagreement between management and front-line employees regarding the risk. Both groups were wrong because of these biases. We just aren't wired to estimate low probability events well, especially when there are less abstract competing risks like budget and schedule. That's why NASA created a separate safety arm that was distinct from the production workers. They felt it was necessary to get an objective assessment. Note this lack of impartial judgement is also a finding in [1].

I don't disagree that there's a lot of unhelpful safety theater. But there's also an awful lot of push back against safety that's borne out of a combination of ignorance and arrogance.

For all the hate that Facebook gets their only redeeming quality is these open source projects they have been releasing all along.

That's reasonable. But as you said, what they're doing now is bordering on dishonest.
