I don't think inflation can be solely blamed on politicians or policy makers. A sudden shock to supply, like Covid, or a bad drought, hording, a war, etc. all drive up inflation. I agree inflation should be "fought" with whatever policy tools are available.
If it’s really an issue, you can get it both way. Fire them now and pay a prorata of what would have vested as severance but you are opening a can of worms regarding who get what when.

You can also talk to them, tell them you have noticed they are disconnected and have the feeling that they are waiting for vesting to leave the company. Say you find their current performance unacceptable but don’t want to deprive them of their vesting and see if you can work something out like an unpaid leave until the due date.
Why would you not be able to add an .at domain on route53? It’s not like there’s any difference from the dns point of view.

Is it .at blocking the nameserver changes or AWS refusing to serve .at domains from their nameservers?
Hmmm... if this really just looks for "... in [X]" titles, it misses a lot of posts. E.g. today's "New ScyllaDB Go Driver: Faster Than GoCQL and Its Rust Counterpart" is about both Go (mostly) and Rust, but would be ignored. Same for "Prusti: Static Analyzer for Rust". Plus, some people just love to use "Golang" instead of "Go"...
Modafinil felt far more mild than amphetamine, methylphenidate, or cocaine for me. However, it uniquely (and dramatically) impaired my inhibition for libido compared to the others.

It was a very narrow side effect but also particularly destructive. It was very hard to tell it was the modafinil because it was so mild otherwise, just seemed to “front-load” all my energy and focus for the day into the first six hours of my work day, which worked quite well, and then left me feeling rather normal for the rest of the day (difficulty committing to tasks after it wore off but that is typical after a 6 hour of solid focused work).

I just had extra motivation and capability to flirt with coworkers and strangers and visiting sundry places. I was well-received, but it wasn’t the life choices I would have wanted to make and the workplace romance was self-destructive.

Amphetamine might make me masturbate more but only modafinil caused an impulse to flirt, court, and follow through.
Other than "proxy charity" (where they just pass on money), would you not expect that 100% of charitable donations go towards expenses and wages? What else would they be doing with the money? Presumably you're donating precisely because you want them to do the work that you're paying for?
That's hilarious and sad at the same time.
At least for some cases, there was a workaround by using INSERT ... ON CONFLICT

That's the one thing that was typically missing from open social networks aiming to displace Facebook. I still remember when relationships were "official on Facebook," and I'm sure some of that psychology persists (however subtly) and is one reason that Facebook just wont die.

I'll definitely be setting up an instance for my family, maybe I can get them all to finally kick the habit.
I find it amusing that someone who uses fgrep all the time - and is presumably familiar with alias and sed - would be worried about the inconvenience of updating their shell scripts...

I think the larger issue is that people generally don't do dependency management for their scripts. Scripts are programs, and they are dependent on the shell environments they are written for.
But isn't that more of an illusion of greater wealth? I mean, if you don't stay in your current house, you will just swap it for another one. The price level doesn't really matter, just as long as you can still get something of equal value.

This is unfortunately common among consumer-grade laptops. I've been bitten by this enough times that I will no longer purchase a consumer-grade laptop; I will only purchase models meant for business. They are usually 2 CPU generations behind, but importantly, everything works and works reliably.
Companies aren't consistent internally. At least Twitch had a list of 'do not ban' users leaked, and they also banned some high earners while defending others. Rationality is not a given.
PPP loans went to "job creators", always a favorite politically-protected class.

>it was to compensate businesses for being forced to close

More specifically, it was to "protect paychecks", to keep workers on the payroll who otherwise would have been let go. Sometimes, but not always, one of those workers was the business owner. In theory it was a pass-through benefit aimed at workers, but the employers not only had the loans forgiven, but also got a tax deduction for spending the government's money, and even sweeter in some cases, got increased tax basis in their business for the loan money they never repaid.
It's also interesting that politicians want to means-check every penny that goes to the general public, including the stimulus and debt forgiveness but also welfare, food stamps, medicaid, and so on. It's imperative that nobody is taking advantage of the system! But when it comes to PPP and other handouts to corporations, suddenly they have no way to means-check or figure out in some other way whether the recipient actually needs it.
Would inflation occur if all companies decided to act together patriotically and not increase what they're charging in response to the increased money supply?

> it is the definition of inflation

Doesn't the definition of inflation have more to do with the decreased value of currency? There are plenty of uses for currency outside of the purchase of goods and services.

For a static site, you could use a stand-alone server like webmentiond[1]. Seems like that'd integrate similarly to what you're running now, but under your own control. There's also webmention.io[2] if you really don't want to self-host.

As for spam, the flow involves the receiver checking the sender to see if there's actually a link, before the mention is accepted. I think that is more effort than the average spammer is going to put in, although it's not 100%. Then again, neither are comments on somebody else's site.

Right. But how does the advertising part work and why is it so effective?
It was a massive over reaction and a massive mistake. Inflation now is a direct consequence of indiscriminate spending. Politicians do not seem to understand basic economics. E.g. California's inflation relief checks going out right now.
No, the fact that what you said is not true is basically the core concept of quantum mechanics.

EDIT: As another comment pointed out I was wrong about this, please ignore.
Huxley's Island is his counter-point to the world of BNW. In it they take drugs for enlightenment. He creates a society inspired by Confucian meditation as well as through the economic lens of Henry George. Henry George advocated for a UBI(what he called citizen's dividend) funded through the taxation of land values.

I think this alpha and beta framing is a useful one. I just watched the John Carmack keynote where he is talking about the Oculus operating system, and in it he is seething that the team around him is not valuing simple and piling complexity and its resulting slowness. In a world where only the people who were truly interested in innovation were working with him, I expect that the accidental complexity would be minimized, and the efficiency of his work would go through the roof even more than it has. Trying to make everyone as productive as possible turns out to have large negative effects on those who are as driven for innovation and those people are so productive that this is a net loss long term.

I have to say that if the economic system is dependent on siphoning off money from young people in the form of student loans, that already sounds like a system ready to crumble if those young people aren't able to establish themselves financially.

My impression of the US is that it's already too far gone into various collapses to really recover, but I don't know what that means for its future.

Some of those sound like some of those carnival things where you have to throw a ball at a target to have a clown go in the drink.

The others sound like "outrage porn", which is most of the content on subreddits like diwhy and shittyfoodporn. Doing things wrong or exaggerated on purpose to elicit a reaction and engagement.

Weirdly enough, come to think of it, Epic Meal Time started trends like that over a decade ago - just make stupid, expensive and exaggerated food that doesn't look appetizing at all... yet strangely compelling.
Could there be one? The topic of wage stagnation, of course, is a bit of a sleight of hand. Incomes have held stagnant for hundreds of years; as far back as the data goes. We witnessed wage growth through the period of industrialization because wages were new and starting from effectively zero. Pre industrialization, people mostly sold things rather than their time. As more time was sold, wages started to grow. Once we reached the point where most commerce was in selling time and not things incomes became maxed out by wages, leaving no additional room for growth. The only way wages can continue to grow now is for incomes to grow, and that hasn't ever happened in recorded history.

> While I hated the decision of adding warnings without much notice (which, in the case of such widely used CLI tools, is the equivalent of a breaking change)

15 years isn't “much notice”? I had already stopped using those back then because, as noted in the article, they weren't standardized and so you had to work about portability across Unix installations.

It's also worth noting that this is only a breaking change if you are using the non-standard names in a context where you are trapping output. For the vast majority of people using a shell script which doesn't use the common name, they will at some point upgrade, see the warning, spend 30 seconds making the change, and never think about it again. If you're that sensitive to the extra work, presumably you also do some testing before installing new upstream releases.

EDIT: it was actually 17 years ago that the warning was added about egrep/fgrep:

"I’m sorry, but you need to pay it out" ...If the behavior is so egregious/borderline criminal/a legitimate HR crisis (think Andy Rubin stuff), that’s one thing"

It shouldn't be that black or white. I would say pay it out if they are just a poor performer but tried to work in Good faith because then it is your fault to not fire them for performance earlier.

However, I wouldn't pay anything if the employee acted in bad faith and was slacking off on purpose or doing anything that brings the entire team's morale down. I would fire them immediately and you don't owe anyone anything then. May be unpopular opinion but as founders, you don't have time to deal with bad actors. Startups are not charity.
I reckon that it's all done with contractors and gig workers. Its the uber way of running their business.

Okay, but an aspirational "Zero-COVID" policy seems to be working out better than the US's "burrying-our-heads-in-the-sand" policy.

Then I actually read it and was still reasonably happy.
I missed this when I read the title. TikTok does not have a charity feature and the money in this case is not going to charitable organizations. They are regular live streams where people are asking for money and watchers are giving money through a standard "tip" feature of live streams.
The article and very few comments acknowledge that this is being done to facilitate removal of these binaries. Assuming the binaries are going away, is it better to add a warning, or to surprise people be just removing them?

In general, there’s a good, legitimate, hard question here about how to handle removing things from our software. It needs to be done, probably more often than we do it, and it’s hard enough for software writers and maintainers to bring themselves to remove things. Are there better strategies? What more can we do to make removing features less painful, beyond publishing the deprecation schedule, adding a warning in advance, and then removing them after the schedule and the warning have been out for a while?
You might be forgetting OJ was found guilty in Civil Court.

How can you be guilty in Civil Court and not guilty in Criminal Court? Easy. Two different criteria for guilt. In Criminal Court it must be shown beyond reasonable doubt that you committed the crime. In Civil Court it must be shown that it's more likely than not that you committed the crime. In the case of OJ what this means is it's more likely than not that he murdered his wife but it's not beyond reasonable doubt that he did so. OJ was acquitted of murder in Criminal Court and forced to pay his wife's family for damages in Civil Court since it's more likely than not that he murdered his wife.

Whether you think this is a great system or not is subjective but that's how the system works.
FWIW I agree. Limiting the total number of notebooks the free tier provides, incl. private notebooks, would probably be a much more humane policy.

Show HN: AI Subtitling and Dubbing Powered by OpenAI Whisper
We built an AI video dubbing app by hacking together ASR, Google Translate, and TTS systems.

Added some features to sync the video with the audio to make the outputs consumable.

Couldn't resist ourselves after OpenAI released Whisper. Hacked it in under a day on our app and now we go live.

Next step is to integrate it to our video dubbing flow wherein we take a video, convert it into English text using Whisper, then localize it in the required language.
So is in your opinion General AI solved? Because reliably turning symbols into meaning, outside narrow or special cases, is General AI.

In my opinion, it's not solved. GPT-3 is not General AI, it's a more clever mechanism for parroting back text it cannot truly understand. Comparisons to ways humans confuse themselves are a red herring in my opinion: the old ELIZA program could reply like a very confused or trollish human would, but nobody would argue ELIZA was a general AI.

It's just that GPT is a fascinating and more convincing illusion than ELIZA. Unlike ELIZA, it can also be used for meaningful purposes.
So far, the evidence is that there is no way, because all those ways would rely on fallible human systems. The best one can do is live a good, ethical life, protect one's family, and try to find peace as best as one can.
>Also the long-term uncertainty of Taiwan's political situation

Republic of China move to Taiwan since 1945. that's over 70+ years. that's one person born and into retired age.

you can question every country on Earth for its long term uncertainty. North Korea constantly shoot off Nukes. Russia is invading Ukraine now. Saudi and Yemen.

American just recently left Afghanistan to Taliban after 20+ yrs of Nation building.

70+ yrs peaceful times in Taiwan with some up and down with China seem pretty stable to me.

edit: even USA have some long term uncertainty after Jan 6 (United States Capitol attack or protest?) Trump-backed election deniers is about to be elected into the US Congress.
This is what people forget. The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceeding fine - the government will slowly gather data and eventually charge some of the most egregious examples of fraud.

Sadly, this usually is the people who tried a fraud for the first time instead of those who are experts at repeated frauds. Nobody follows the letter of the law like someone violating the spirit.
So you are bombarded by a mix of relativistic hydrogen atoms, molecules, nuclei, and electrons. How do you extract energy from such an influx? Will extracting it slow you down much?

> COVID and their response to it. China still does not have a good vaccine and they still rely on lockdowns. That speaks a lot to how backward China is in basic sciences.

I think this was a policy move more than a lack of science understanding. In fact, leadership in China is very science-heavy. Time will tell, but it's actually looking like possibly a good move, now that 5% of the UK population is not working due to long term sickness, the highest ever[1], and covid is looking like a contributory factor.

I could even imagine China extending their lockdown policy to other diseases which might have long term population-wide effects, like influenza.

The main downside of such a policy is you need to have effectively closed borders forever, otherwise travellers re-introduce diseases from other countries into yours.

It's not really a boycott if it's just one person. Boycott implies concerted action by a group. Best of luck though. I'd refuse to buy Meta's hardware for other reasons. A Facebook account required to play has been a dealbreaker for every single one of their headsets.

> I joined the W3C Immersive Captioning Working Group and presented and hosted panels for the XR Access Symposium where I proclaimed the benefits of Quest 2 over other headsets because of the hand-tracking features and it’s affordability

Acting as an unpaid advocate for Meta's platforms and then getting burned on the next release because the flagship features you liked weren't included should not be surprising. I get it sucks, but I'm not sure what else could have been expected here. Can regular platform users involved in peripheral community advocacy typically expect to see attention/cooperation from Meta?

I would figure that if you really wanted to create a stable platform for use by a specific community, you'd be running as fast as possible _away_ from Facebook but that's just me. If anything the fact that the author has already advocated for the Quest 2 is indicative of the _opposite_ of a boycott. Your community already bought into the last-gen because you told them to.
