Why is this a Tell HN? I thought those were for providing information of general utility to the HN community (twitter is down, etc.). I expected this was a name-and-shame of some VC, but instead it's a link to a blog post.

Even after reading the text in the Tell HN multiple times, I still don't know what exactly happened. IMO, a Tell HN should be a self-contained post that actually tells HNers something that is particularly timely and of general relevance. It should not be akin to "read my blog post about something that happened to my startup".

This seems like clickbait, especially with the title.
Because I believe that Elon will be much more even handed than Jack Dorsey or Parag Agarwal ever were about what can and can't be shared. And yes, I think he'll be fair to the liberals, too.
The VP of Sales where I work recently posted about our record breaking month and how he can't wait to get back to the office as it'll be mandatory starting in October.

The irony, as you can see clear as day, is that they achieved the record month while everyone was working remotely.

Someone actually called him out on it, surprisingly, but he simply backpedaled and said remote is just not his personal preference.

No -- they did not learn ANYTHING over the last few years and I suspect that the pandemic will be looked back on with a bit of nostalgia in a few years when we look back.

There will always be the horrors that came with it, but there will also be people who got time off work, fathers who got to spend more time with their kids, people who got a lot of their lives back by avoiding commutes, etc.

I realize I'm opening myself up to get completely roasted in the comments because the pandemic was really rough on people, but I hope I preemptively addressed that here in saying that the pandemic also shed a light in other areas of our life that need change.
Word. They're using it to catch eyes for ads. Just like they do with "breaking news". It's overkill.

I didn't say it was private. It's obviously public, I give you the URL and you can pull it up. I'm not stupid enough to think that robots.txt means no one can read it! There's some RBAC control so that you need to be logged in etc if I publish anything I wish to remain private.
Most _reputable_ organisiations will respect robots.txt and not crawl your site, nor cache/archive your data if you request it.

The next space telescope will be the Nancy Grace Roman telescope which is a wide angle telescope so not an exact replacement.

The longer term goal is the Luvoir telescope but its not yet been approved and will probably require significant R&D like JWST.

How can we make dark mode work well with multiple windows?
I'm a dark mode fan. It's easier on the eyes. But one thing that dark mode doesn't excel at is easily showing the difference between multiple windows. With light mode, this can be done with shadows behind the stacked windows. Gives them depth and helps you see where one window ends and another begins. But with dark mode I find that this distinction is very difficult to show or see.

Any ideas for making multiple stacked windows, all with dark mode on, more distinct from one another?
Why is it FUD?

Who is more likely to get fired if you are choosing between two similar competent people and you have been told you need to pick one: The one you sit next to and have lunch with a few days a week and possibly lives in your general neighborhood? or the person which you have never met in person and lives 2000 miles away?
That still implies that you are actively "using" the messaging application. Just because it is listening to messages in this case doesn't mean it's inactive, you still expect it to push stuff to you.

However in the case of the QR code, just because you "have" the QR code on your disk, doesn't imply you have an intent to visit a link it. That would be like if you had a .txt file with a string that looked like a URL inside and somehow the system while indexing the body also somehow visits the supposed URL despite it not even being a real link.

Like imagine you download a restaurant menu to check out the food and they provided it as an image (pretty standard). As a part of that image is a QR code to their Facebook page (also usually benign). In this case, let's say you are uninterested in sharing your (or specifically your IP's) interest in that restaurant with Facebook, this feature as described would share the info for you without consent.
I read as "I don't believe in spirits". Then replacing as I read was somewhat humorous.

"Good teams don’t need spirits to get good work done."
Reasoning about Asyncio.Semaphore
well security is a very broad and deep problem. Keeping these things in mind will get you pretty far.

1. For firewalling, only allow what you need. For example, if your server is in your home then you don't need to forward port 22 in your router. You'll always be logging in to your server from your local network.

2. For services, see #1. if your using a linux distro that starts up a ton of server services you don't need then turn them off.

3. To secure specific services like sshd read their setup docs. SSHD, Nginx, Apache all have very good documentation on operating a secure server.

having said that, i don't think a VPN makes you more secure. Are you saying running a vpn endpoint on your server so that you can connect to it from outside your local network? like at a cafe or something? If you're connecting over SSH then i don't think so because SSH is already encrypted ( that's the "secure" in secure shell) and if you follow the SSH docs on secure connection best practice like disabling password auth and using keys then you're in pretty good shape.
Look at the historical series. These are all "special" values (outliers).
Yes, the total amount may go up in nominal terms, but it's not going up in real terms if inflation is eroding it faster than new debt is being issued. If the value of the dollar halves in a decade but the debt only goes up to, say, $50T, then the total national debt in real terms has gone down significantly.
Sounds like you've had an awesome career with no experience of people slamming unnecessary work into your workload, or trying to design in detail things that won't be implemented for 6 months, and will have been redesigned 5 times in that time. For everyone else, sprint backlog is a useful tool that you decide when you should violate it, and by exception only.
Because servicing it (beyond reboost) may be the same cost as launching something new that offers better performance.

Vs. the old way - where the credit card cartel forced businesses to accept 99, 98, 97, ... cents on the dollar for credit card sales, while cash customers still had to pay the business 100 cents? Then the cartel could split their take with the customers - to push more and more of a business's gross sales into the "we only get paid 96, 95, ... cents on the dollar" category?

It's About Time.
The problem is markets are unpredictable and non-linear. It's not as simple as "we can rack up debt until it starts to become a problem then ease off". Events can (and historically often have) conspire to cause a country's debt situation to change from seemingly fine to disastrous on a radically shorter timeframe than one would expect assuming a linear response to increasing debt.

You can have it use sqlite for the DB to make it extremely easy to manage and backup and such. I'd expect that to be fine up to at least 50 moderately-active users, and maybe much higher.
>how likely do you think it is that people will continue loaning money to a country whose currency is constantly being devalued?

as long as those assets continue to outgain the cost of inflation.

When you have debt you have to make payments. If you don't (can't) make the payments, the people you owe money to get upset.

So, if the payments are easily made, then this isn't a problem?
I thought a lot about this over night. As a parent, it's a question I constantly grapple with. "What will I tell my child when they want real-world applications of an abstract, yet extremely important, topic?"

The conclusion I've come to is that asking for practical, real-world applications in one's life misses the point. The reason to learn calculus also has nothing to with mental exercise. The reason to learn calculus is that it provides the theoretical foundation upon which modern society is built. Differential equations provide solutions to engineering formulas that allow us to build skyscrapers. We can calculate the trajectory of celestial bodies and use that information to explore our solar system and to peer into the stars. We can train machine learning models that realize our imagination. The list of things calculus enables is near-infinite.

Now, do you need to know calculus to survive? No, of course not. You can live your entire life without even needing calculus. But, calculus is one of the wonders of the world. Its beauty is similar to something like the Grand Canyon or Mt. Rainer. Yes, it takes a little work to "see" calculus, similar to how you might need hike quite a distance to reach a beautiful peak, but the view from the top is worth it. There is no need for natural beauty, too. You can easily live your life without experiencing the wonderful things nature has to offer. But to live a life without experiencing nature is dull compared to what is possible. And it's the same with calculus.
Of course. I'd argue that any CEO worth his or her salt should -always- leave it on the table as an option and evaluate from time to time(6 months sounds fair enough). Not that I'm a fan of layoffs, but no company can be successful if their position is 'no layoffs, ever.'

In other words, the headline means less than nothing.
Power supplies don't supply electrons. Amount of electrons in the circuit is pretty much static and it's just a property of matter itself. If there is to be electric current (or better said a transmission of power), (free) electrons must already be present in the whole circuit. Power supplies just supply power via various mechanisms and this power is distributed in the circuit using electric fields without electrons moving much at all.

There are other times U.S. has paid down debt.
Currency devaluation pumps exports and dumps assets/services, so it's not necessarily a bad thing. It promotes a diversified economy that builds real things. Many countries seek it out as a matter of policy.

Currency appreciation dumps exports and pumps assets/services. You know how "we used to make shit in this country, build shit. Now we just stick our hand in the next guy's pocket"? Yeah, that's what currency appreciation does (or, more specifically: reserve currency status where we can/must run a current account deficit without seeing the usual depreciation). Economists call it "Dutch Disease" because they first described it in the Dutch empire, but it happened to the British and American empires too. Think of it like a resource curse, but the resource is finance. It's good for people with fat brokerage accounts, it's good for Wall St, but if you earn your money by building regular shit for regular people, it's bad news for you.

I agree with your conclusion -- our taxation and monetary policy is run for the benefit of wealthy Americans at the expense of poor Americans -- I just think you have the particular issue of currency devaluation a bit backwards. I didn't downvote, but I imagine this is why someone else did.

Spending money we don't have and will never repay except by printing more money is just another form of taxation. It never shows up on your pay statement, but the value of your dollars is diluted.

When you say it’s a weekend project for a college student it suggests it’s mundane or easy for most professional developers within a weekend.

This sounds exactly like the old “Twitter would be easy to implement give me a month” naivety.

Development is hard, even small projects aren’t usually finished in a weekend, let alone something there’s no reference implementation for and that we’re merely speculating about.

If such a project was built in a weekend to work reliably enough others could use it successfully in gameplay, it would be highly impressive. Maybe we’d call it an extraordinary effort, if for no other reason “because software”.

Afaik US can always pay its debt. It is counterintuitive but: USG (or its agents) are the sole creators of USD. Fed can always create usd to exchange for bonds as they mature. Other bad things may happen - but not exchanging a bond due for usd in reserve account is not one of them. Unless USG decides willfully to default on a particular bond.
Run FIAT into the ground, then transition to a new form of currency most likely CBDC. Money is all made up anyway. It's a point of transition that I feel will happen in my lifetime.

You're contrasting two different types of thing. If part of something being "done" is deploying it to production, then it will be useful to have the "deploy to production" bit of it managed by a sprint process that tries to account for all the work needed to do something.

What’s New:
Today’s Enforcement Bureau orders demanded that Akabis, Cloud4, Global UC, Horizon Technology Group, Morse Communications, Sharon Telephone Company, and SW Arkansas Telecommunications and Technology show cause within 14 days as to why the FCC should not remove them from the database. Removal from the database would require all intermediate providers and terminating voice service providers to cease carrying the companies’ traffic. If that were to occur, all calls from these providers’ customers would be blocked and no traffic originated by the provider would reach the called party.

“These and other recent actions reflect the seriousness with which we take providers’ obligations to take concrete and impactful steps to combat robocalls,” said Loyaan A. Egal, acting Chief of the Enforcement Bureau. “STIR/SHAKEN is not optional. And if your network isn’t IP-based so you cannot yet use these standards, we need to see the steps taken to mitigate illegal robocalls. These providers have fallen woefully short and have now put at risk their continued participation in the U.S. communications system. While we’ll review their responses, we will not accept superficial gestures given the gravity of what is at stake.”

Unfortunately mental health services were gutted in the 1980s with little objection. There are few options for patients that require long term care. The community health services that were supposed to replace the asylums of old never materialized.
This doesn't make any sense. L2 is 1.5 million kilometers away from Earth (4 times the distance to the moon!), while Hubble currently orbits at about 540 km. Moving it to L2 will make it much, much harder to service. Once we have technology to do servicing missions at L2, doing another one in LEO will be child's play.
Laser energy will never exceed this ultimate limit
You can't post results of TPC benchmarks without official audit. So it complicates posting results. You can't find common names that are usually compared with ClickHouse there [1]. So open standardized ClickBench tries to encourage benchmarking for everyone.

There are numerous benchmarks that use similar to TPC queries, but those are not standardized and can be misleading. For example a lot of work was done by Fivetran to get this report [0], but they show only overall geomean for those systems and you can't understand how they actually differ. Anyway their queries are not original TPC - variables are fixed in queries, they run first query when official query is a multiquery.

Contributors from Altinity run SSB with flattened and original schemas [2]. SSB is not well standardized and we see a lot of pairwise comparisons with controversial results - generally you can't just reproduce them and get all the results in single place for the same hardware.

There is no concern here, as I do not use Twitter.

Rather it was an attempt at an simple example to explain to you the differences in control that a user of an open protocol has, versus the control a user in a closed ecosystem like Twitter has.

Think it didn't land.
Well people do both. And different people do different things. I also think a big factor is the amount of inflation. Like the fed targets a 2-3% inflation because that encourages people to spend for exactly the reason you're talking about. Basic monetary theory. But inflation based recessions are a different story and people prepare for the shock. People will hold money because they also expect inflation to reduce and this be a temporary issue. If you expect prices to fall back down, then you should save instead of spending now.

The MiM might not be your IT folks, but rather management. I was in a meeting which included folks from Palo Alto (PA) and management where PA was hard selling their ability to MiM all https connections and link all activities of the users to their usernames through various methods from directory integration to log scraping on radius servers. The managers were super excited about the possibilities. Management not only wanted to implement this, but wanted to do so in secret. IT folks were pushing back-- hard.

Firewall as bossware.

Firefox being banned is because it uses its own certificate store, so Firefox users would see a browser warning every time they visit any https site notifying them that their traffic is being MiM'd. Chrome and chrome reskins like MS Edge use the OS store which MS Windows centric organizations can easily (centrally using MS tools [GP]) add the trusted CA for MiM into. For the Macs, it probably wouldn't matter since the 3rd party mgmt tools could probably push out either.
