I can see how from the outside you’d think that way. Hacker events are very different to big corporate conferences, and don’t intuitively make sense in a world where almost everything that happens is being done so someone can make a buck.

Everyone involved is a volunteer, or at the very most making significantly less money than they could running events of a similar scale in the real world, and they’re all doing it because there’s not really anything quite like these events outside of them. There’s a distinctly anarchic feeling to them, with a great many things that just organically happen because someone thought it would be fun, and then it got totally out of hand because other people latched on to it as well. The Chaos Post is a prime example of this, a postal service which is effectively a bunch of nerds cosplaying a worldwide postal service - I’ve known of people who addressed postcards to themselves, but at a future event on another continent, and they got delivered intact.
We're relying on Google's Dreambooth paper which differently from Text-Inversion, it does full model fine-tuning. This should help achieve higher fidelity results if you're trying to replicate the distinct features of your subject
everything2.com is sort of both. Honestly, I miss ICQ. I've had enough with the publisher/subscription model, lets go back to p2p.
Good article. Feels like it has been written by a Bayesian though:)
Stripe also has much better transparency for troubleshooting. You can see exactly what happened to a payment, when and why. In the Adyen UI, it's not even simple to find a given payment. Stripe also has much better docs, and their API makes more sense and gets in your way less. As a developer, I much prefer integrating and dealing with Stripe, over Adyen.
And Newton's Laws are still great approximations for nearly all circumstances people care about almost all the time.

Nope. Apparently selling conconformant GDPR-compliance services is not against the law, only buying them is? Which makes some sense, but in any case OneTrust still sell dark-pattern banners to (at least) hundreds of websites even after a sizeable batch of them has been ruled illegal[1].

https://stripe.com/docs/saving-cards#automatic-card-updates

> Stripe works with card networks and automatically attempts to update saved card details whenever a customer receives a new card (for example, replacing an expired card or one that was reported lost or stolen).

> It is widely supported in the United States, allowing Stripe to automatically update most American Express, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover cards issued there.
This comment has just triggered my PTSD from every Typescript project I've had to work on.
Any user can put that on their own profile, if they feel like playing the victim card :)

Their last post was 2021-11-03 (https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=h1x) but a old archive of their profile from 2021-01-10 (https://web.archive.org/web/20210110145033/https://news.ycom...) shows that the text was already there, almost a year before their last post.

So yeah, seems they put it there themselves :)
It should be possible to advocate for solutions that more people actually want. Fifty years of preaching eco-asceticism hasn’t gotten us where we need to be.

Looking at RARBG, it should be possible to convince movie execs that no, DRM is not preventing piracy. And I have a feeling that the "I go through extra work to avoid ads" crowd would have a higher than average income, so for them, $30 (the price of a recently released bluray) for a HQ file might work.

Don’t worry you tried to look too closely at a conspiracy theory and it fell apart.

A clasic conspiracy theory is basically conformation bias run wild. So someone thinks “thousands of satellites must be useful for X” but never really look into just how tiny each individual satellite is and how much of that must be used to fulfill it’s cover story.
> Only now, though, is it becoming apparent how costly the political choices have been. Collectively, they turned a project that might have been built more quickly and cheaply into a behemoth so expensive that, without a major new source of funding, there is little chance it can ever reach its original goal of connecting California’s two biggest metropolitan areas in two hours and 40 minutes.

I received some good advice a long time ago, which is that don’t spend too much time beating your head over your weaknesses, because then you’ll be spending your life focusing on what you’re bad at instead of what you’re good at.

I feel like Americans should do this about trains and transit. We can’t do it. Just let it go. Find some other outlet that harnesses our strengths as a society instead of playing into all of our weaknesses.
We're trying to streamline the process and explain it. Running the infra for this is hard. We are running on expensive A100 machines which are not easily available and not part of Google Colab infra.
There are lots of hyper-parameters one could toy with, and we're trying to hide those and give optimal results automatically.
Obviously this could all just be the start of it, and we might continue to develop on different directions where we see it's most fun :)
User: set an alarm in eight hours.

It's 10PM right now. At what time should the alarm be set? 6AM? Woops, tomorrow is the switch to DST! What now?

User: remind me to brush my teeth on November 21st at 8AM.

Okay, will do! Wait, you took a plane on November 2nd and are now on the other side of the world? Should I remind you at 8AM or 5PM?

User: please note my doctor's appointment in two weeks at 10AM.

Sure thing bub! Wait, but you live in Morocco in 2019? And the government just announced that reverse DST will be in effect for the month of Ramadan, which begins next week?! WTF do I do now?

tl;dr It's not just an issue of storage. Managing time is hard. There are requirements that we, as humans, will intuitively find the right interpretation for, that computers will absolutely break their teeth on.

Nintendo are anti piracy, not anti-emulation.

They used to sell emulators on their marketplace for their back catalogue under the 'virtual console' brand and more recently on Switch include emulation for NES, SNES and Nintendo 64 titles as a benefit on their online subscription model.

I lived in the Yukon for just 4 years and it changed dramatically during that time. Each year you can see the glaciers getting smaller, the rivers not freezing as much, warm stretches coming in Jan when they never used to.

Stay a few years, you'll see it yourself.
I was just looking into this the other day. Nice to see someone do it. I wonder if making it more hackable by replacing the electronic guts with something like a ESP8266 would be worthwhile. I'd much rather be able to have a simple little server on this device that I can talk to over the network rather than having to go through some random company's servers. I imagine connecting it to the motor that turns the feeding mechanism wouldn't be too hard and the screen and buttons could simply be removed to prevent any, ahem, manual tampering. Adding some way to lock the food bin would also help with impulse control for those who need it.

Another upgrade would be to randomly reward the desired behavior instead of always rewarding it. This helps to both prevent gaming the system as well as keeping those dopamine spikes high when you unexpectedly get some candy. Using chocolate as a reward is perfect since it provides tryamine to help replenish your dopamine levels.
I think the problem here is what you're really asking for is DRM free content. None of the content producers themselves are willing to license their content that way so it would be very difficult to build the service.

Being interrupted is a killer and that's why I absolutely hate open-plan offices, cubicle hells, or what ever those farms are called. But self-induced "interrupts" are a completely different story for me...

I used to fear my tendency to procrastinate. I looked at people that were able to just sit down and start typing. I tried to do the same, but it was torture to stare at a blank screen. Whatever method I tried to be productive, I always slipped to procrastination. Finally I realized that what I was doing, was simply letting my subconscious to do the work. When I understood that, everything got a lot easier. No more guilt.

So, when PG writes:

> Someone who has decided to write a novel, for example, will suddenly find that the house needs cleaning. People who fail to write novels don't do it by sitting in front of a blank page for days without writing anything. They do it by feeding the cat, going out to buy something they need for their apartment, meeting a friend for coffee, checking email. "I don't have time to work," they say. And they don't; they've made sure of that.

Personally, I am very much opposite of that. I do both writing and coding and with both activities I first do some research or other base work and the I let myself procrastinate guilt-free. I will clean up the house, empty the dishwasher, walk the dog. Go to the grocery store or solve some simple puzzles. Usually these are stuff that don't really require deep thinking or take up too much time. Then, when I get this "feeling" (inspiration?) - even in the middle of my procrastination - I will sit down and type out the work. Then, rinse and repeat. And somehow I always seem to hit the deadline. Although, I have to admit, I have never tried to write a full novel.

Infosys asked HR not to hire 'Indian-origin candidates', 'women with children'
Assuming user has issued chargebacks 7-months back to back — why would this not be a signal Stripe needs to understand why and not keep charging the customer; one would think even one charge back from a vendor for a specific customer subscription would require re-authorization by the customer being charged prior to Stripe sending another charge.

What am I missing?
The question is rather:

MUST You be rich, or not.
You can’t cite war preparations as wasteful and then hand-wave away an argument that they’re being used to good effect right this minute.

The problem isn’t that one person in total needs $500K; if that was it, we’d be done talking about it. The problem is that a lot of people need $500K and if some of those are spent on people with literally hours to live, then people who could enjoy years of benefit if treated are at risk of not being treated.
> It's similar with the low quality "drone" footage from the Uyghurs "camps

Multiple news organizations have published high quality satellite photos of the Chinese concentration camps for ethnic minorities and Muslims, published the tenders for their construction and interviewed both victims and former jailers who have fled the country. Chinese officials on record boast about the 100s of thousands they have imprisoned or send to prison like factories across the country and the children they have separated from their parents for "re-education". Would you have us all believe this is an elaborate "MI6" conspiracy?

Ask HN: How to help friend to land job as junior UX
Hi HN,

My friend tries to land her first job as UX. She had a maternity break from work, was working as buildings designer before. I can see she is slowly descending into depression since she gets rejected without being given feedback. Most recently she has gone through a series of interviews with the company, got to the final stage and was rejected- without any feedback. And this after investing her time into preparing assignments and taking tests...

I try to coach her out from depressive thoughts she is getting, but it's not really helping. If I was running a company I would take her onboard, she wants to be UX but I think she would do whatever the current need would be to provide value.

Do you know of anyone looking to get junior UX? Any advice would be of great value to her, thanks in advance!
From what I understand, the Widevine certificate is just metadata about the content and the expiration date of the license and that's signed by a trusted root and encrypted for the device's key.

So yes, I might have to copy the keyfile off my TV somewhere or install an online-provided file onto my TV. But that would both be possible.

(From what I understand, a common way how DRMed content ends up on RARBG is that people copy the key out of their TV and then use that to decrypt the Widevine-protected content, so the key inside the device appears to be the sole source of trust)

>it is called At Will employment. Other states are Right to Work.

Wtf?

No, "right to work" is not the opposite of "at will," they have almost nothing to do with each other. Furthermore, Texas IS a "right to work" state.

"Right-to-work" laws are laws that make joining a union not a requirement for employment.

All states in the US are "at will" employment.
Some employers want to be able to take random photos to ensure remote workers are working at their computer during business hours.

> It's never too late to stop making things worse.

I don't know, we could already be stuck in a positive feedback loop with no hope of reversing the trend until the pendulum swings back in another 10k years. That's the difficulty with climate science, there are so many variables and the system is so complex that analysis is extremely difficult.

EDIT: Just to be clear, I'm not saying we can't do ANY analysis or that we can't see the larger trends... just that the devil is in the details and we can't predict exactly what's going to happen or when.
certainly genetic understanding in general has made massive progress. Thiel might classify all of that as “digital progress” but it may have alot of real world impact soon with new drugs and treatments as well as improved agriculture etc
You can judge the quality of a project management tool based on one simple metric - when you sit down to use the thing, do you spend your time thinking about the actual content of the work items? Or do you waste time in the meta-structure of the work, effectively shuffling tickets and story points like it was a game?

Jira provides endless ways to engage in useless meta-work, it's nearly the entire purpose of the UI. Style over substance is the result. It feels intentional on Jira's part to woo their target audience - mediocre managers who struggle to produce well-written and well-designed technical content. Dress any plan up with enough fluff and it looks impressive.
Nothing as satisfying as quickly adjusting all the red squiggly lines after a big refactor and then seeing everything run perfectly again.
I really disagreed with the Iraq war at the time: it was obvious that it was Bush's revenge and Cheney's wallet that was the motivation, not concerns about WMDs or revenge for 9/11. (If 9/11 is the motivation, invade Saudi or Pakistan. If WMD proliferation is the concern, invade Iran or North Korea before they can develop nuclear weapons!)

However, Saddam Hussein was a genocidal dictator. He openly persecuted ethnic groups which were resistant to his rule. The mistake of the US was not in the toppling of Hussein, but in not having a credible plan to deal with the following sectarian crisis, where a majority ethnic group which had been suppressed suddenly has power over the minority ethnic group which had previously been in power. (The responsibility for which violence falls jointly on the people of Iraq.) To put it another way, either a genocide or a bloody civil war was inevitable with the death of Saddam Hussein or his successor, and all the US did was move the timeline forward 30 years.
I just saw. For some reason I thought that the Netherlands have no restrictions there but apparently I was wrong.
If you tax scope 3 emissions, all industrial processes would be approximately equally affected. So let's say you double the price of lithium, adding a few hundred dollars to the price of an EV, and you double the price of gasoline, adding tens of thousands to the price of operating a gas car.

Also keep in mind that both lithium and gasoline are currently supply constrained rather than demand constrained. The price of lithium is currently 8x the cost of production, and the price of oil is currently about 2x the cost of production. Lithium producers will still be quite profitable at current prices if costs double, but oil producers would not be.

Taxing scope 3 emissions would help public transit even more than it would help EV's.
I would be willing to accept DRM as long as the convenience of using the files matches an illegally-obtained rip.

For example, Apple already allows to move files in-between devices associated with the same account. If they would now release an Android TV app, then I could download the movie on my laptop, move it over to the TV, and play it offline there with the app. Of course, Apple will probably never do that, but it illustrates that DRMed content is OK for my intended use.

Super productive people usually only work a few hours a day. The rest of the time they think about how to solve the problems more efficiently with more automation and less work.

Doing the thinking part properly can make the difference between a project that takes 3 years and one that takes a few months.
As a developer and a parent with young kids, it is nearly laughable at the amount of stress one deals with everyday.

Wake up at 5:30, get all things ready for kids, wake up kids, get their breakfast ready, check my (work phone - who decided work phones are a good idea).

Take kids to school, get back to work, meetings and more meetings ( countless meetings are a waste of time but they still have them)

Time for lunch, hell no time, skip lunch, I got to finish implementing this thought. Chat pops up, someone is asking for help, stop what you doing, help them, back at your thought, what thought???

Ah time to pick up kids, rush to school, look left and right for cops while you going fast. Pick the kids, go home, work with the kids homework (I am going through elementary again and again and again ….)

Time for dinner, cook dinner, kids need to get ready for sleep and finally I can get back to my unfinished thought.

Oh man, it’s late, I need to get to bed, to get ready for tomorrow.

Being single and having that level of anxiety and stress, multiply that times 10 with kids. That gives you an idea what life as a developer with little children is.

It is called the “hamster wheel syndrome”. You think you are getting where you want to get, just to find out that you are stuck in the same place where you started but a hell a lot of more stress and anxiety.

1- taking breaks is important, but can’t seem to take them

2- we don’t do it enough as we don’t feel as we have time

3- life is moving to fast (stupid Covid) to stop and do things that matter in life (family and friends)

4- If we are not here one day, I promise no one from work will miss you past one week. Family and real friends will remember you forever.

Life is short, cherish it. (Coming from a guy that never stops working)
While I do not wish this upon anyone, should it happen anyway, I’d encourage you to observe closely and reflect on the patient experience if anyone in your circle of friends/family has to face this before it’s your turn.

Watching my grandparents’ experiences (and our dog’s) gave me great perspective on the topic. One of four grandparents “got it roughly right”; the other three suffered extensively.

I wouldn't be surprised if German data protection agencies give news "publishers" more leeway given that they seem to be extremely influential in other domains of digital law in Germany.

But yeah, it's debatable whether "my business model depends on showing you ads from services that harvest your data via those ads" is a legitimate interest. If it is, that sets a bad precedent IMO.
