Nope, they were talking about literally feeding people, in response to a comment about SNAP, which is food stamps.

They weren't talking about fraud and waste overall, they were talking specifically about waste in distributing charity.

So whatever point you're trying to make has nothing to do with what I was responding to.

> You often end up with files and folders "owned" by a user who no longer exists and then we have to get the central IT to go fix it.

This is a problem for all across time.
But in a virtual ski resort you don't need to feel cold. There is nothing inherently limiting about VR that his requests for more accessibility couldn't be readily available.

In reality, most people would love a magic way to pick up objects from a distance. In VR this could be implemented easily. His criticism is that it is not implemented; they are forcing the limited parameters of our current reality on VR.
>Tax dollars are pretty much guaranteed to be spent so the idea that "there is less money to buy other goods and services" is wrong.

Government spending happens independent of tax receipts. If you raise taxes, people have less money to spend.
Yes. At a certain point you stop searching and move forward. Which is what many other comments are asking for without realizing the scope of what would break at the give-up point alternatives they prefer.
Some ideas:
1)Before you start drinking try to think about how you will feel after
2)Make a calendar and everyday you don't drink mark an X on the day - you won't want to break the streak
3)Drink way more seltzer water
4)Consider fasting - when I started fasting I had ZERO interest in eating or drinking garbage
5)Seek therapy
It's less ignore the price than understand that, like most luxury goods, higher price doesn't necessarily mean better. Any wine under $10 is going to be basic, get you tipsy stuff that, hopefully, isn't offensive to your palate. There are a lot of really good wines in the $15-25 range that represent what most people should be drinking most of the time. By the time you reach $40+, you are paying for marketing or very subtle differences in quality that most drinkers won't appreciate, especially outside of a very controlled environment of temperature and food pairings.

*all prices US and may vary by your specific location and wine shop.
Be careful - stuff in employees personal folders CAN count as personal information. Check the relevant local privacy legislation.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here - what's the other option? You don't have to deal with every single orphaned document - just the ones where people request access.

When the founder retires and the files did not get shared before, how exactly do you want to deal with that? (context: we're in a situation where we already know the standard handover / permission granting procedures either didn't kick in, or failed)
Then live with the limitation of using a free developer account and having AltStore automate the seven day renewal process.

thats the problem. You should never be doing that. You should be using an editor, as an editor. The confusion is understandable though, as in general editors [1] aren't [2] widely [3] available [4] for [5] people to use.

Rhetoric is an essential component of nuclear deterrence. You need to convince the enemy that you have the resolve and capability to retaliate, even if you don't/won't.
It's not clear to me what this co-op is trying to bring to the Boston -area grocery market? What do they want to provide that's missing?
zstd beats gzip handily, either in terms of speed for a given compression ratio or compression ratio for a given amount of wall clock time. And that's without even using multiple threads, which zstd supports out of the box but for gzip you would need to use a different tool like pigz. And on top of that zstd is also much faster to decompress.

In 2022, if you care about compression performance at all, there's no reason to even consider gzip unless you have a specific need for it (e.g. you have to deal with some other thing that can't handle zstd).
I would imagine we'd copy civilization from places that weren't affected (e.g. parts of Africa). They should probably still retain knowledge up to quantum physics, dams, electric trains, microservices, tanks, agriculture, and all of TV Tropes.

Maybe they'd be missing space travel, electric cars, and AI generated waifus but research wise it might just take half a century to get back to 2020 levels.

For someone who is on ground zero, it sounds like the most useful thing would be to establish communication with unaffected areas for knowledge transfer.
Russia is fully dependent on China for even very basic needs, it looks to be very likely Xi warned Putin not to escalate to nukes.
playing second life
This is a really really bad idea. The military should never be beholden to a corporation like this for basic day to day operations. It will bite them in the future and probably at the worst possible time.
What kicked off my now nearly four years without drinking was an initial four months of intensive breathing mindfulness exercises from thich nhat hanh's book and at least one hour a day on an encompassing project, in my case really learning some 555 timer circuits.
thread over
It would be great if you could import open tabs.

What I really want/need is a tool that helps auto-categorize/group all my open tabs into areas of interest and enables full-text search across all of those pages so that I can context switch back into whatever I was working on at that time.

Manually bookmarking and tagging doesn't scale for me.
Thanks. One theme (autumn_night) has a black background.

Next up: keys suck. I often use dw or d/something and these fail. Any quick way to resolve?
#2 isn’t a going concern, if anything people now complain that it moves too quickly. IMO that’s a silly complaint but a steady stream of years-long processes being completed is always gonna upset someone.
When I worked on Firefox for Android, we were constantly fighting for the broader Firefox org to take mobile more seriously —- if Gecko excelled on mobile with respect to power consumption, then a lot of that would spill over to desktop platforms “for free.”

Unfortunately nothing had improved by the time I left in 2021.

I posted this in a comment on the WordPress Hosting FB group in a discussion about whether gzipping a sql file for transport was worth it. I thought it an interesting comparison.

This is on an NVMe disk on a 32 core server with a light load.
$ time wp db export test.sql
real 0m3.410s
user 0m2.568s
sys 0m0.431s
176M test.sql
$ time wp db export - | gzip > file.sql.gz
real 0m8.304s
user 0m10.010s
sys 0m0.439s
40M file.sql.gz
$ time wp db export - | gzip --fast > fast.sql.gz
real 0m4.196s
user 0m5.728s
sys 0m0.340s
49M fast.sql.gz
The clear winner is gzip --fast. Only 23% slower in speed, but 73% reduction
in file size, vs normal's 240% decrease in speed but 88% reduction in file
size. 15% smaller file at 240% increased backup time is not worth it.
No government is centralised to that degree.
> The whole point is if you live in say India you'll be paid a rate as the same skilled person in India.

I mention the passport issue because, for most people in the world, it's not possible to relocate to San Francisco and put yourself in the high salary bracket. So you're stuck with whatever someone in the SF HQ thinks is a "good salary" in India. Realistically the best performers will go elsewhere and I expect that companies that employ this kind of model will be unable to compete for talent, but it's still frustrating to watch them underpay people in the meantime.

As for the skin tone issue, it's not a factor in what they pay, but the end result is undeniably split along racial lines due to local demographics. I mention this because many of these companies spend a lot of PR time talking about inclusiveness and workplace equality and then set up systems that underpay foreigners.
If you're using Mac m1 DiffusionBee is a one click app install that I've been using to generate high quality renders in seconds.

Oddly enough I’ve had many intelligent friends and colleagues lose interest or begin to question “climate change” in recent years, most notably since Covid.

I suspect the idea that it’s a grift (Even though it’s happening) has played a role. Or maybe it’s linked to a broader questioning of narratives. Idk

I'm done staring down the gmail rat hole for now, but the section on delegated access in this article is surprising:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/askjack/2018/jun/28/c...

It sounds like there are third party G Suite tools that force you to enable delegated access (from the article, it is unclear if this is possible for personal accounts).

On top of that, some manage to enable it without prompting. Yet, somehow, Google let them keep their API keys.

Nice.
Web browsers are slow, filesystem browsers are fast and you can index them with programs like everything or egrep? Familiarity?

I detest using web browsers to manage files honestly. I have yet to see it done well, there's usually a notable delay to descend into a subfolder. It's an awful experience really.

IT seems like a horrible choice; if they were paper documents left at a desk would IT take them over or the unit supervisor/manager? Almost certainly the latter. IT taking over business area responsibilities wherever a computer is involved rather than facilitating business units performing their work is almost always the wrong answer.
It's also relevant if you're writing software that's intended to be run side by side with other software.

You don't even have to get that fancy in Excel before Google can't keep up.

But there's an even more basic problem - trading documents with Excel users. Trying to round-trip anything more than a simple data-only Excel doc through Google Docs is folly, especially if you keep passing a document back and forth.

In case it wasn't obvious, I have to use both. I have multiple external vendors where emailing Excel docs back and forth is how you do business. Internally, we're Google Docs, except where we're not, mainly anything that touches Finance or Legal. But the Windows IT folks also use a lot of Excel. And, you get the idea.

In conclusion, the idea that anyone has a "solution" that is supposed to actually solve "sharing" is hilarious.
People use it all the time to mock themselves and signal their humor intent.

It’s quite likely that he could not afford to take a pay cut. I never understand why people seem to automatically believe that small business owners (especially in rural communities) are just so damned wealthy that they can afford to just pay themselves less.

Most small business owners make significantly less than the average software developers commenting on HN.

I don't think we disagree that having a healthy population is good for a functional society. This requires preventive and maintenance healthcare "needs" --but would not include "wants" like cosmetic and elective options. If your eyelid droops but you can see well, I don't think that's necessary. If your hair is falling out and you want implants, if your mammaries are small or drooping I don't think elective options are necessary. We need to keep people healthy, we do not need to keep them attractive. So for Example I would not include "ED" --that's independent of health.

Omegle video has become a rather amazing site recently. There's some form of modern busking now where people play for strangers on Omegle and then edit the videos and post it to YouTube.

For example, https://youtu.be/Z3FjhBuFKyM

There's been a few services specialize in this, e.g. OmeTV and some that target musicians. This will probably be the next generation American Idol.

Reminds me of the TV show Silicon Valley. The technology was an easily copyable algorithm, but the business plan was an incoherent and vague competitor to a giant yahoo/google type company, to be built from scratch.
Meanwhile across the Atlantic in Europe, Google and Microsoft are being removed from classrooms, governments, and military agencies in favor of open source private clouds such as Nextcloud with Collabora office. This is due to GDPR and data sovereignty. Private clouds is what these companies fear as features mature.

European cities (and cities everywhere) are built on top of archaeological sites. It isn't because they wanted to erase the history, it's because the locations of cities are in geographically suitable locations, like ports, transportation nexuses, etc.

Heck, much of medieval Rome was built from salvaged masonry from ancient Rome. This is just pragmatism, not evil intent.
Not to put a fine point on it, but if you want to know what it was like back then, just say something like "I don't think we should finance the war in Ukraine. What is happening in Eastern Europe isn't our problem. Neutrality is the best policy" and see the rhetoric you'll hear. Usually blind allegations of shilling, being a Russian stooge, being a sock puppet, and so on.

It was several times worse in the early days of the GWOT. Sikh's were getting killed for looking too Muslim. The stuff you see now where people want to include mandatory "Fact checks" in internet searches sort of paled to the crap we saw in the GWOT of Extraordinary rendition, enhanced interrogation, the Bush doctrine, destroying privacy laws in the name of patriotism, and so on.

We've already started forgetting what happened.
I'm in some hobby groups where the subject of tyres and tread patterns come up often. I swear it's spelled as "thread" there more often than not. I would understand some autocorrect, but it does seem like many people think that's the correct spelling.
It's quite possible that NMCI works just as poorly now. In my office we have desktops running Windows 10 on 8gb RAM and HDD (spinning drives.) It should surprise no one that Windows 10 has bloated beyond the capability of slow hard drives to keep up; I maintain maxed out disk read utilization at all times, and consequent here maximum number of browser tabs before lag kicks in is none. Outlook is even worse than Chrome (new official browser of DoD websites.) The fastest way to check email at work is to go out to my car and connect laptop via Hotspot for OWA. Next best way is to go home and use OWA there, with using the work computer the slowest option by about 10 minutes.
I hate browser based workflows purely because I need to wait a whole second or more every time a page loads.
One relevant question is, is this actually a company already, with incorporation and ownership. Or is this just a side project so far.

Another big question is, does the co-founder bring anything tangible to the table. Do they have an online following, sales/marketing connections, experience building a business.

Really you do want someone who is an equal partner, who's value makes the pie bigger. If you can find such a person, they are totally worth 50% equity (actually slightly less, since you want a third minority owner to act as a tie-breaker.). But the only way to really vet such a person is to see them in action, which requires them to volunteer at first probably.

Maybe you could work out a commission deal for revenue share. That allows you to motivate a partner simply, without selling off equity. (Remember giving away equity also costs money in lawyer fees).
> But I cannot shake the feeling that something significant has changed in the last 30 years.

This doesn't make sense unless everyone around you also suddenly got more cavities recently. If you ask around more, you'll find that there have always been people with good hygiene that get more cavities, and others that don't seem to get them despite poor habits. It may be related your specific oral bacterial biome, or diet.

My account on Lobsters is in good standing, but I agree with daptaq. The site has a very strong bias. You either agree with the very online culture of the site or you get mercilessly jeered in the comments (and potentially have the admin coming for you.) At this point all I do is post meek comments every few months or so because I don't trust the admin or, mostly, the members of the site, to respect me. The comments on the site have become predictable enough to be GPT generated.

A bit ago, we got to see the "joys" of having users comment on and upvote a comment that justified pogroms because "the West keeps peddling anti-Soviet propoganda because they hate communists." The comment thread was killed but only after lots of upvotes, way too many to make me comfortable to stay on the site. If you're okay with that sort of thing then Lobsters is your site, but I'm not. Honestly I don't know why I'm still there.
Alloy is a great to model domains. We do DDD at work and Alloy has proved so valuable.

> "The worst VR experiences are the ones that would be possible without the VR"

Have to assume you meant "impossible", otherwise I'm confused by your comment.

And I have to disagree. There's nothing wrong with giving people are few nice powers and magic forces over their environment. In real life, I'd love to have a way to pick up objects from a distance. Who wouldn't want that? VR can provide that easily.
Sounds like OneDrive too though.... High CPU scanning for files. Between that and McAfee....
That comment put a smile on my face.
I learned all I know about pitch decks by reading HN's favorite financial columnist, Matt Levine.

He writes a column for Bloomberg you can subscribe to for free somehow or other.

I mean, most of the time he's writing about other things, like Elon Musk and bond liquidity, but now and then he mentions pitch decks.
