That can't possibly be right. Otherwise they'd all be making seven figures, because who wouldn't give themselves a seven figure salary?
Good news is, IMF has a really lousy record of forecasting recession.

Bad news is, they always underestimated the recession.
they separately bought a bunch of tokens on centralized exchanges to manipulate the price of the derivatives
Yes because the notion that one can choose his pronouns is one of the most insidious lies in contemporary culture.
how do missive and front compare to each other? Do you find one superior?
Actually, that's a good idea. An OS dating app will be amazing, but I don't see a clear way to monetize its development than pure love of the devs. No pun intended.
I have to assume that you realize that this is all subjective.

What you are describing sounds like the subjective experience of what you feel when you work in the traditional establishment. You feel unstimulated, but that's a product of your personality and your immediate environment.

To put it another way... whether an environment is "interesting" depends on whether someone is interested.

Choosing to leave a large organization gives you some freedoms and takes away others. It sounds like you value the freedoms that you get outside large organizations, and you have only harsh words for people who feel otherwise.

Just to put this in concrete terms... let's say you are curious about compilers, or memory allocators, or network flow control algorithms. It tends to be only large organizations that will pay you to work on those things, and in order to my curiosity about those things, I would want to rub elbows with experts in those subjects. Those opportunities exist at the largest tech companies and in academia (and my experience is that academia is no less bureaucratic).

For me, sometimes, navigating broken bureaucracies is a price that I pay to work on some really fascinating problems. The broken bureaucracy itself is a fascinating problem.
I completely agree VR games are awesome, but thats because the goal of video games is to be as immersive as possible and get you lost in it. That’s the perfect use case of VR and companies like Nintendo and Sony have been trying to perfect it for decades.

Work and work meetings is a completely different use case. We don’t need nor want to feel like we’re taken out of our comfortable home and stuck in a real conference room, really manipulating sticky notes with virtual hands, turning our head up to 180 degrees as people speak, etc to be working remotely.
Another day, another cryptocurrency exploit. But I thought code were law?
Nickel and diming all business decisions is a great way to run the whole thing into the ground.
I mean... on an individual level it's obviously true: if there's a determined active shooter, there's probably not much more you can do than try to shoot them first.

On society level it's indeed a bit more complicated matter. Every additional gun in the society is potentially one more gun in the hands of a bad person.
Why do crypto hack announcements sound like AI generated text? They're things like "Krupto's Flifty ICO Exploited by Etherium's $SCRIM"
You can sync localstorage and sessionstorage between tabs, you only have to listen to the right events. I haven’t used indexeddb much, but I’d be surprised if that doesn’t sync between tabs as well. If you are saving all the state in memory—which I think is the default for most popular frameworks—then you’ll have to do something more clever. If you have a backend server as a single source of truth, then you should probably be using websockets if it is vitally important that your users get real updates of new data. I’m sure there are popular react libraries that will handle each of these cases.

It is extra work for sure, but usability improvements usually are, and if you know what you are doing, this will not cost that much extra in maintenance.
the Mango Markets attack was a few hours ago.
The government didn't force businesses to take out loans either. Complying with the law doesn't automatically mean you deserve compensation.

Nevertheless, the government allowed businesses to take out loans, and in many cases forgave those loans, because it benefits the country. The government allowed students to take out loans, and in many cases forgave those loans, because it benefits the country.

I'm not saying there shouldn't be college loans. I am saying the job of the government is to help people, and both kinds of loans, an both kinds of loan forgiveness, fall into that category.
Respectfully you are wrong.

Maybe you just live in the wrong place. Dating apps can't solve the ratio problem. When you live in the Bay Area/Seattle area/Bangalore etc that is so overwhelmingly tech then there are simply more men than woman. That doesn't mean you can't get a date but yes statistically it is going to be harder.

No app is going to fix this. Many devs on HN seem not to understand this every time a "how dating apps are bad" thread is posted.

The other part is their own dating profile is mediocre and they need a little help with the art of non tech small talk.

There is a lifestyle business in helping male tech workers make better profiles and dating coaching.

Also no dating app company is going to succeed outside small niche with no money incentive for the devs and marketers.

Just adding after reading my comment, not trying to be negative just realistic so you consider if it something worth your time.
These are coupled. Historically, it's been impossible to differentiate "productive" and "un-productive" labor over prolonged periods. The artist makes people happy, those people are then more motivated to work, innovate, or both. The banker helps ensure that prices are roughly accurate throughout the economy. The grant writer at a non-profit helps avoid externalities.

Are these things out of whack right now? probably, but that doesn't mean the economy is imaginary.
I have never felt like I was physically with someone in another country like i have in horizons and bigscreen
There are stirrings of Rust module support in the FreeBSD kernel, which is heavily used at Netflix, so it's possible there'll be some Rust over there too, soon.
Correction: The worst outcome for ordinary folks, not the wealthy.

I don't make 6 figures but I would imagine just earning that money boosts the confidence that "I can create value despite the economy". Your world view just changes the moment you make more than you will ever need. Your concerns would also be different. Right now I must be worried about my savings, rent, and TV news. At >$1M, I'd be worried about other "stuff".

I've always thought that it's not like everyone who makes >$80K is ever going to use all that money. Much of it would be spent on kids' colleges (if any), and the rest of it allows you to retire >10 years before others. Idk what people do with the money.
Apple isn't begging Google to implement iMessage. Nor is Apple creating a public smearing campaign against Google for not implementing iMessage.
I'm building an OS, and blogging about it. Here is Day 1
Day 1 of building an OS:
In what is sure to be the absolute craziest endeavor undertaken by a less blissful and youthful version of myself than started college all those years ago, I intend to build my own OS from scratch. Almost certain to drive me up a wall, I am almost there simply from my repeated abjest failures looking for a job in software engineering. In the spirit of that movie about that 30-something woman who cooked her way through Julia Childs cookbook just to say she did, as well as I guess the guys who did the Everest Doc from the early 2000's, I have decided to blog about it daily until I am done. So saddle up cowpoke, you might be listening to me whine for a while.
Today I sat down and began to read. What began as a naive and infantile hope slowly turned sour and then grim as the enormity of the undertaking loomed before me. I stumbled upon a book, "Linux From Scratch", that seemed as though it might serve as a good building block towards the project. I have made it about halfway through Chapter One and spent the remainder of the night downloading and updating various tools I will have to use to build a custom Linux implementation. Please note, this Linux implementation is not actually the OS but only a toy example to get a grip on the levers and buttons I wanna be working with during the actual project. This seems to me a useful stepping stone because there is a very clear target: Linux implementation. I know what that is, what it does, how it works, etc. Thus, if I can build a THING that does that THING I will have hit my mark and gained requisite knowledge.
Anyway, this feels like a logical stopping point for day 1. Tomorrow I intend to start to make my way through the book proper. This journey is going to be certainly very interesting. Pray for me.

If you would care to follow along as I lose my sanity, but hopefully gain a sanity's worth of knowledge:

Gzip files are allowed to consist of multiple streams. Bgzip (block gzip) is one tool that reads and writes gzip-compatible files in parallel. The output can be decompressed in parallel by bgzip, or semi-random access, or decompressed normally by gzip.
Best wishes with developing that idea, and I believe there is already a FOSS dating site template out there somewhere, I saw it a few years ago but didn't have the emotional energy to persue it.

I'm older and I've tried multiple ways to meet a partner, and haven't dated in nearly 10 years, but finally am building a primitive website for myself, it still needs more work but I'm getting there.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to spread the word, since I don't participate in "normal" social networks.

It's kind of daunting to be putting myself out there like this.

Yawn. First and foremost that's a Fox clip and framing.

She was talking about voter suppression and other tactics rather than the election results being tampered with.

This is important to point out, because the GOP is hellbent on messing with future elections and want an air of whataboutism regarding election integrity.
We confirm that iOS 16 does communicate with Apple services outside a VPN tunnel
Probability is an abstract concept so if he has a really good model of the universe there is no reason he couldn’t have better information.

We don’t really know if “god plays dice” so to speak. We probably will never fully understand the underlying fabric of the universe even with lots of theories and experiments.

It is like we get to run valgrind on the program but never see the source code.
> That doesn't quite get you there, though. For example, it doesn't submit a form it is contained in when clicked.

Er sorry, I meant type="button" for both. Neither submit a form or do anything other than show the default interactive styles without JS.

> There are some use cases where a <button> won't work (eg if you want to use flexbox)

I’m not sure what you mean, and having a hard time imagining what you might mean. Can you elaborate?
I would like to think of it as first, second order effects.

First order effect of DEI:

- Bar is lowered in the name of DEI, to bring more diverse employees

- Managers/CEOs/HRs get their bonuses for meeting DEI metrics

Second order effects:

- Hired minority employees find it hard to perform to the expected(or peer) level

- Because lot more minority candidates were hired than if it were without DEI, performance issues start to become bigger and more noticeable problem. More importantly performance issues cluster around minority candidates

Third order effect:

- Long-term workplace perception of all minority candidates is harmed, regardless of skill.

- We are back to square one, where in order to compensate for 2nd order effects all minorities are subjected to unfair discrimination based on race, regardless of skill
Did Meta stop relaying their propaganda? This is gonna cause some cognitive dissonance in me at least.
This is a good point, and using Rust makes a lot of sense then since you avoid GC messing with runtime consistency.
> Like a black woman would add diversity to a group of white men

Yes or, for another example, an Israeli would add diversity to a group of Americans (of various colours).
> For this argument to work you must implicitly assume that mathematics were a different realm, with no connection to reality.

No I don't, and this is still a straw man.
First question: yes, the missing part is that the attacker also had to buy a bunch of spot mango tokens on centralized exchanges to drive the price up after establishing the large position.

Second question: Mango Markets lets you trade perpetual futures with leverage, so you don't need collateral equal to the notional value of the contracts you buy.
Yes, you're right, sorry. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I wrote that.

Looking back it seems many in the Japanese community on Twitter aren't happy with discovering their art is being used as training data. In the last week since the NovelAI announcement the number of banned artists on Danbooru has doubled, approximately the same amount as all the banned artists that were registered in the site's entire history.

Beyond the training issue there is the fact that the art was reposted on another site at all, which is what many take note of. It seems Danbooru's initial statement to Japanese users made it seem like it was NovelAI's fault that things blew over, without bringing up the reposting part that was the root issue, and it didn't seem to be an effective apology as a result.
And supports "disabled" by default.
The tools are perfectly capable of consuming it. Optimizers just don't emit it.
Match rates where true for me as well in comparison to other apps. However, what I found interesting is that I’d routinely run out of matches on my last month of being “premium”. As soon as the paid gig was up, all of a sudden, profiles of potential matches in my area that I had never seen prior are numerous. BUT.. to like or match, I have to resubscribe… hmm…

Another obvious manipulation by Hinge (and the other apps) is I’m almost 100% positive they artificially limit who they show you by stacking the deck with a bunch of profiles of women they know haven’t logged into the service in awhile. Basically priming the pump with “possibility” to keep you engaged; diluting the active profiles and spreading any likely match possibilities out over time.

It’s things like these two realizations that made me decide these apps are not in existence to help you find a match. They’re incentive is the same as Facebook, engagement. You matching means you no longer using the app and that’s bad for business.
Pluraleyes software does this using the audio recorded by each camera:

https://www.maxon.net/en/red-giant/pluraleyes

If you filtered the audio to exclude all but the 50Hz/60Hz signal then it might also work based just on the power hum, but why make it's job more difficult?
I don't know if you realize the hilarity of this, but GeForce Experience (the only way to get auto-updates for Nvidia drivers) requires an Nvidia account, with options to login via Google, Facebook, et al

Kind of infuriating. But not as much as remembering to go and update my drivers... :\
And the Index on which to play Alyx.
It's very unclear why you are defending this. Especially when it's a very common source of pain. E.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33168346
> given participation in a set (1, 1, 2)

When the set is of 12, that's 4 of 12, which is exactly one third, assuming independent participation (which obviously is what makes the number optimistic/ a ceiling).

> Given a sample size of one pipeline

Fair! If the OP only ever hires one person, you are correct. At Microsoft's scale, they are more like "the house" at a casino, and so their ratios should more closely approximate the population.

I am making the larger point that yes, in one instance, this hiring manager could have experienced a challenge building a diverse pipeline, but that this experience is not generalizable to Microsoft or the industry as a whole. And the related takeaway that if your pipeline is routinely not presenting you with the significant plurality represented by "diverse" candidates, then you have a solvable process problem.
Maybe so, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to HN. We're trying for something else here.

It's particularly important not to do this when there aren't any comments yet, because threads are so sensitive to initial conditions.
I'm kicking myself for not creating a large series of tulip NFTs a year ago
It goes beyond human organizations too. Hierarchies are a natural structure and something we share with lobsters. That's how embedded they are and why suppressing them doesn't work. Life finds a way, hierarchies find a way.
How can economists say, for instance, Argentina is in a recession? Or Ireland? Or Australia?

Does the NBER make such determinations for all countries? Ha.

Are you being pedantic por are you being gullible?

The term recession has been well-defined in economics for decades.
Have you checked microacquire? You should be able to find a buyer there...
Okay, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I thought the R-pi 2 requires the OS to be on the micro-sd to boot and can't use USB or PCI adapter connected drives?
> valued at the instant spot price

The entire cryptocurrency hype machine is predicated upon quoting market capitalization based on instantaneous spot prices. Nobody thinks about liquidity until it's gone.
Academics just like every other aspect of human life is full of politics and this includes peer reviews as well. Papers regularly get panned for variety of reasons that have nothing to do with actual content of the paper and maybe even worse sometimes because the reviewer happen to be working on something similar and want secure a bigger grant for themselves.
Twitter making a big deal out of mostly nothing again. Everybody grab their privacy pitchforks.

In reality, it really doesn't matter much. If Apple wanted to snoop on you, they have every tool available. I assume that everyone who uses an iPhone is logged into iCloud? In that case, nothing you do can't be seen by Apple.

I use an iPhone because I trust that Apple isn't going to sell any of my data or use my data to harm me. I can't say the same about Android.

State of GraphQL 2022 Survey Results
A while back there was something from I think LinkedIn that looked at things like length of job search by sex. All my search attempts now come back with a flood of bs listicles, but IIRC it claimed that women tended to have slightly (but not hugely) shorter searches. Nowhere near as much of a difference as the 7x bounce rate here would lead to without a good chunk of it being people switching to continue looking elsewhere.
Interesting, I hadn't thought of that. I wonder if that's okay though — if you're that familiar with someone and their work I'd expect your bias towards that specific person overrides any broad gender bias.
I share the parents attitude. My job postings though don't say explicitly that we are fine if you learn the stack, however they list the stack as nice to have rather than must have.

IMO, everyone needs to learn a from of stuff for every job. Thus understanding of high-level concepts and ability to learn are paramount. If you tell me though that your primary language is XYZ and you cannot answer basic challenges with it we encounter during the interview then that's a really bad sign even if I don't care much about that actual language.

I left the western world several years ago, partly because of this. I could not live in an idiocracy where some people hire based on skin colors or genitals.

Thankfully, I have faith in capitalism.

I never thought I would say such an obvious thing, but we are entering an era where « hiring the most competent » is going to give an unfair advantage to smaller companies.

I am already seeing this with cinema. Sure the US is still producing a lot of interesting stuff, you still have very talented filmmakers. But you are literally losing market share to Korea (which should have never happened) just because you made your mission to transform every possible well known character into black characters for the sake of it.

I haven’t seen any interesting Netflix original show about Zulu, or how people competed for power in Egypt.

But I sure have seen plenty of black washing (even on non white historical figures)
Of course. Pop your VR headset on at a café, I'm sure it'll work out great. Bash people with your wide arm movements at Starbucks and look like a clown.

Those meetings that could have been an email? Now they're the worst of both worlds, remote but still forced to have this meeting in VR.

Instead of having a screen (or multiple screens), force people in a shitty virtual reality where you have to walk around still, but this time it's either by teleporting with joysticks or making you puke with smooth movement.
It's like saying, "Some people keep running this traffic light but we don't have any traffic cops. What if we lowered the speed limit so they wouldn't be going so fast when they run it?"
It's kind of shown in the video, but how do you edit the link target URL?

A related pain point is when I want to insert a link, I usually copy the URL into the clipboard first, then type the link text. This results in a bit of minor gymnastics. It would be nice if the editor detected the URL in the clipboard and automatically inserted it.

My work-around for the puzzles is to start editing in the middle of the word with the format I want (one character over), then delete that character if needed. Yes, it is a little painful.
Delta gave me a stuffy nose. 12 months later, I'm still suffering from it. Omicron gave me a dry cough for 3 months.
Coaching for “Normals”?
I'm interested in finding an executive/startup coach, but I'm neither a c-suite executive or a successful founder. Does coaching exist (and at a relevant price point) for folks that maybe aren't quite at "that level" yet, but are hoping coaching might help them get to the next level?
People like remote work because they don’t have to be in an office. Meta’s vision is to make an immersive office video game. Sorry, I hate it, that sounds like the worst of both worlds.
I'm not a dev (UX/UI designer) but I thought I'd share my perspective.

I accidentally made several decisions in latest years that (in retrospective) made me more prepared for worsening of world economy.

- A couple years ago, I decided to quit a full-time "office" job and return to free-lancing. Within a year, I had 4-5 projects running simultaneously (with clients from different countries). It helped tremendously when I had to escape Russia in March 2022. It also feels much more reliable than a single source of income.

- we've been living in various cities for 4-6 months, "trying them out", hunting for the best balance of climate and quality of life. So we prepared ourselves to change location with less effort. Currently living in Tbilisi, Georgia.

- my wife trained me to optimise our spendings ;-) And that is a great thing actually. We only have necessary belongings (because we move a lot), we cook at home often, I use Hi-End in-ear headphones (because they have great sounds but cost less and take less space when moving), etc.
