Here's one of the people's Twitter accounts: https://twitter.com/0interestrates

His profile quotes Elon, and here he is tweeting at him: https://twitter.com/0interestrates/status/158614939873129267...

The "joke" is that they're trolling "liberal snowflakes" who dislike Elon taking over and now are afraid of losing their jobs. The empty box had a copy of Michelle Obama's book, for example, is a good indication of this.

Elon clearly thinks it makes him look good (or, at least, is a funny joke), because he tweeted about it: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1586108809772089345

Side note... imagine having thousands of people who are afraid of losing their jobs, and the new boss tweets jokes about it.

Not my experience. I'm learning to sing, my spouse is a pro singer, she told me "pick a song, preferably one you don't know well so as not to be biased, sing it a thousand ways over and over, try it right, try it wrong, try whacky stuff, try nonsense stuff, talk it, rap it, twist it, warp it around, then do it all over again a thousand times, and finally, sing it your way."
yes, and?
iPhones already cost money. That certainly covers all the R&D that went into them. Then there's also the $99/year for the developer account.
This needs auth with a randomly generated password by default. Standing up products like this is exactly how data breaches happen, it’s effectively sql injection as a feature.
The unfortunate part is if you mention Peterson to anyone they automatically judge you, because there has been so much hysteria about the guy in media/social media.
I got down voted, I want to clarify this is something I experienced. I don't even follow Peterson closely. I did find one of his books helpful but mentioning that to a colleague in one discussion led to a strange situation where some colleagues believed they knew what I thought on a vast range of topics without even talking to me.
Only shipping matters - to you (and your product owner - but only in the short term), in the medium to long term shipping matters (perhaps most), but absolutely not only.

Maintainability matters. The happiness and health of your peers matters. Security matters. Ethics matters.

The culture of 'only shipping matters' is reflective of the exploitational aspirations of our capitalistic societies, it devalues the bigger picture.

If you only care about getting your code out the door - you're part of the problem.
This sounds very much like differential learning (see Wolfgang Schollhorn) to me. In my personal experience it is a very potent training method when it comes to learning motor skills, and having observed two children learn to crawl and walk it also seems to be a "natural way" to learn for us.

I also observed myself learning non-motor skills better when applying this method in some form. I think most people here know about the yearly Advent of Code challenge. Often people use it to try out a new language and have fun. I believe one of the key reasons for its success (besides the fun) are the frequently similar, but slightly different, problems. Forcing people to approach it from slightly different viewpoints and trying out small variations, thus resulting in a deep understanding and learning effect.
I was thinking the "30-60" day time window may be a somewhat subtle way of catching out engineers who haven't written a thing in that amount of time. that would be one way to identify low-performers.

not unproblematic by a long shot, but quick, and probably somewhat effective. and it wouldn't require any deep knowledge of twitter's codebase on the part of the reviewers.
No, that’s just a start. I don’t care about “fair” — there isn’t really such a concept at play here. The fact that Apple’s reaching through Telegram into the third parties using the communications platform is really lame. It’s not just a direct relationship between Apple and an app. It is recursively affecting how two people who aren’t Apple or Telegram are able to conduct themselves.
If I'm hungry, I ask the same thing as whoever is close by and whose dish looks remotely edible.

If I'm not really hungry, or if the food isn't easily visible, I do the same as you do: yes, I carry a computer, but refuse to use it in most restaurants.

If McDonalds can afford some wall poster with pictures + names and prices, I'm sure most restaurants can. So the question is more why don't they want to? Even a flier by the door would be enough for me!

However, on a site were most people love pushing tech even when the best solutions are not technological, I wouldn't be surprised if we were in the minority and people tried to rationalize using QR codes.
> When you think killing all of apache2 is a good idea, because one thread OOMs, out of 1000 apache2 threads, of course I question your experience.

I've never mentioned apache2 so I don't know why you think I care about it at all -- I don't. I'm not sure what this has to do with my experience.

Your gripe appears to be squarely with the maintainer responsible for packaging apache2 for your distribution, or distribution maintainers who are responsible for configuring systemd defaults. If you blame systemd for setting a default that maintainers ignore the consequences of, then I'm not sure what to tell you other than that you're barking up the wrong tree.
I am still using OpenSSL 1.0.x and it does not seem to be impacted, so no I will not.

Funny how quickly a company that invents something that enabled people to do things never before possible, gets accused of crushing people's dreams like it's a human rights violation, all based on a percentage.
Volgograd, née Stalingrad, was a site of a major battle of WWII, which makes it a part of Western history. That same logic makes the Japanese city of Hiroshima a major part of Westetn history, too. But these events are not yet a century old.

Wars between ancient Greece and ancient Persia are 25 or so centuries old. An excited description of the Persian emperor Cyrus by Xenophon, a Greek, is about as old; that book was a bestseller in Europe for several centuries. Persia interacted with the European West a lot.

Ancient Egypt is also a major part of Western history, for a really long list of reasons. (Arabian Egypt, not so much, of course.)
Copyrighting a product? What are you talking about? You can get trademarks on some things, but copyrights are not relevant here.

I can tell a printer to color match a pantone swatch without violating anything.
There's this school of thought where difficult or counterintuitive concepts aren't adequately explained without a folksy anecdote. Obviously, I prefer hard data over folksy anecdotes, but I'm starting to think the folksy anecdote is a sideshow to distract from poor data or a lack of data to back up a claim.

Ever since I was made aware of Betteridge's law of headlines, and I started noticing it was correct based on my own experiences, I more or less refuse to read anything with a question as the title. I'm sure I'm missing a few good things with this practice, but I'm saving a lot of time missing out on wastes of time. Enough so that I consider it a net benefit.

Similarly, from now on, I'm going to be immediately suspicious of all claims that are served up with a side of folksy anecdotes.

The whole thing seems like a fallacy by appeal to "common sense".
The point is, it is not like it is some grand undertaking to go through. Literally anyone can found a company and become its CEO.
yes, allow installs outside of appstores, and allow people to make their own appstores, and yes, apple can charge what they want?
> (after tax I presume that's about $2000 / month).

No OECD country has a total tax wedge (including employers payroll taxes, which may be relevant here since he's running a company) above 50% for an average salary other than Belgium.

Sweden is at ca 42% vs ca 28% in the US.

Which is of course high, but e.g. effectively includes full health cover etc..

(For comparison, income tax and employee contributions average at ca 24% of an average salary both places)

One of the best interviews I had I was only asked 1 core question: how does DNS work?

The interviewer spent the next 30 minutes building follow up questions based upon my answers.
Didn't Musk get rich solving complex problems? The ink isn't even dry yet and there is a rush to judgement, speculation, and wild assumptions that are simply shameful.

> This is an amateurish and exceptionally stupid strategy, and a poor way to conduct business.

I've never seen it come around to bite those who do it though. The problem is one of power - the people affected typically are those earlier in their careers with less opportunity to say "no" to what looks like good employment, only to have part of their pay calculation ripped out with no warning.

In the case of the CEO/CTO, it was even worse as the company was in talks for acquisition and the firing for equity ended up netting the CEO an additional six figures within a few months. And they certainly seem to be doing fine.
Typo fixed! Thanks :-)

I think the next big problems for MLIR to address are things like: metadata/location maintenance when integrating with third-party dialects and transformations. With LLVM optimizations, getting the optimization right has always seemed like the top priority, and then maybe getting metadata propagation working came a distant second.

I think the opportunity with MLIR is that metadata/location info can be the old nodes or other dialects. In our work, we want a tower/progression of IRs, and we want them simultaneously in memory, all living together. You could think of the debug metadata for a lower level dialect being the higher level dialect. This is why I sometimes think about LLVM IR as really being two IRs: LLVM "code" and metadata nodes. Metadata nodes in LLVM IR can represent arbitrary structures, but lack concrete checks/balances. MLIR fixes this by unifying the representations, bringing in structure while retaining flexibility.
A friend of mine claims to have found mitmproxy on her phone, and is worried that her ex husband is using it to track her movements and interactions. I am unable to find anything concrete to say whether or not this is a possibility. Anyone heard of something similar being done, and know how this could have been accomplished. She says he didn't have access to her phone, but I know he is technically capable.
Philips LatteGo 3200 series fully automatic coffeemaker including lattes. Pour beans and water in, makes all kinds of drinks automatically, and most of the parts are dishwasher safe. About $800 USD.

Not as good as my local barista, but damn close, and a hell of a lot cheaper in the long run. Great for dinner parties too where folks want a cappuccino or something after dinner.
Yeah it just makes you an asshole. It's not illegal.

There was a pretty active Ask HN a couple weeks ago about a very low quality employee in line for a vesting cliff. I think 0 people fessed up to "let them drop." Almost everyone said the only moral thing to do & the only thing that wouldnt make the rest of the company hate & distrust you (and not believe their success was tied to the success of the org) was to offer a pretty generous buy out ahead of time, at basically the current value.
Precise philosophy is not a very good tool to help most people explore the human condition. Stoics had a much more approachable life philosophy, IMO.
The issue is not the commission itself, but the absence of alternative ways to install and pay for apps.
Wow, somehow I thought Factor died. I know Slava stopped working on it several years ago.
It is worse than that. Try to get 60 people to pick up one spoon for example. The coordination overhead and arguing “which spoon”
and “we should consider picking up a knife!” means it is easier
for one person.

Otoh, searching for a criminal in the woods is embarrassingly parallelizable and would benefit from a 60 search party (forget dogs in this imperfect analogy).

Most software dev like the spoon is not super parallelizable. But probably more amenable to a single person working on each project than developers think.
It's not comparable, you have to rewrite your backend to make it work with vercel
Next time I'm getting a new monitor is when 4K240 monitors come out. Might take 2-5 years. Also, when a decent 4K OLED tablet comes out.
Be careful with your wording. In some places databases are IP, but database rights are not copyright.

And you could still install individual colors in that case, right? The average project shouldn't have many.
A fair commission is what the market decides after users are allowed to install whatever app store they want.
SAFe is basically Rational Unified Process (cross-team waterfall) with a coat of Agile paint. No one in a SAFe organization thinks it's particularly agile, but it meets certain business needs (total visibility and the appearance of control by upper management).

SAFe is a key component of an "agile transformation" which is a bit like the "peace process" between Israel and Palestine: the participants who implement the process are best served if no progress is made while they project the illusion that progress is being made.
> If a fact is disputed, or supported by fewer than three witnesses, parties may be required to swear one of several different oaths to the truth of their position. One such oath consists of the oath-giver swearing by his marriage; if it later turns out that his oath was false, the marriage is dissolved.

I hate to think what happens if you swear on your mother's life...
Theatrics are a big part of first year science lectures. At least when I went. A lot of the chemistry lectures had demonstrations on the level of a Harry Potter play... special effects; kaboom and smoke in many classes. It made you feel special to be there. Alan Watts makes his audience feel special.
Kind of like Sam Harris lulls his audience into feeling smart.
The whole page feels like the output of a stream of consciousness writing exercise, complete with the expected qualities of being incoherent, maundering, abstract, and hollow.

There can be pleasure in imagination and invention, of course, but in my view this is onanistic drivel. I would not be surprised if this came from GPT-3.
Show HN: GemRockets – Curated jobs at future unicorns
Hi there, Just launched gemrockets.com, a job board for finding high growth companies at breakout companies, and maximizing your odds for a life changing outcome. No FAANG, no tiny startups. Will be adding way more jobs in the next week. Would love to get feedback :)
I am in two minds about leads only vs. everyone. Obviously both have advantages.
This video was very informative on the value Pantone provides: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF8UziDHqZo

Can you speak to Nomad vs K8s for side projects?

I’ve deployed K8s in the past but was curious if Nomad is lighter/easier
I probably should have expanded that point: I was trying to be pithy.

What I meant is that we spend 95% of our time making changes to software - adding new features, fixing bugs etc.

Starting a new project from scratch is something we might do a few times a year at most, but changing an existing project is a thing we do every working day.
File tagging in the real world
Yeah TLS will be the headache. Just did a quick test with a self-signed, that works fine but I'll need to create one for each TLD (wildcard doesn't seem to be allowed as root, at least in browsers). That's easy to script, hard to install. So the only issue are devices that I can't install certs on like our Apple TV's and Rokus.
Hi le-mark, as I mentioned Soul is really young and I just started to work on it. For now my goal is to create a decent prototype out of it and when the concept is matured enough, we can go towards performance. There's no benchmark done yet, but I invite you to talk more about the things you think is important to consider.
I averages may be a bit quite deceiving since they're across industries. About 80% of office workers do a full 40 hour week.

More than 40 is likewise very rare. A work-week is legally standardized up to at most 40 hours. Overtime is a thing, but demanding chronic overtime without good reason is a legal liability, where the boss responsible is held personally liable.
This story is another example that societies where complex humour is rare can be manipulated to believe almost anything. There are many examples in the last few years, some of them with global consequences.
One of the big problems here is when you cut out the big tech abusers you find out how hollow the internet has become.

1. Interesting, I hadn't heard that about German cars. Well, BMWs had that reputation, but Porsche's are supposed to be fairly reliable, I thought.

Never buy a new Lexus. They’re incredibly reliable. Let someone else eat the depreciation, and buy a 2-3 year old one instead.

Get an account at PenFed, apply for a used car loan through them, and you can use it to pay for vehicles from dealers or independent third parties. PenFed is a credit union that anyone can join with a donation - you don’t have to be a former Pentagon employee.

Don’t use them for your primary banking needs though. Their tech is a dilapidated nightmare. Just use them for auto and home loans.

> I think there's definitely scope in building a better search engine today. Google have all the tools, all the people, (...) all the data, it's just not obvious that they're capable as an organization to innovate on their search engine right now, and if they don't, someone else will. There's absolutely scope to build a better search engine based on these tools.
No. A few months ago, in our security Slack channel we reported of vulnerabilities in a few of our micro services regarding vulnerable cyphers being used… security team didn’t do anything. I doubt they’ll do something about OpenSSL in our systems. We operate in around 10 countries, millions of customers. Valued in a few billion dollars.
Liquid oxygen is about $100/tonne in large quantities, and the price can be even lower if you pay for large scale, on-site generation.

Twitter isn't even in the top 10 largest social media sites.

I assert that its importance is vastly overblown because journalists were early adopters and they love talking "inside baseball" leading to a feedback loop of promotion where its perceived importance vastly exceeds its actual.

With no exception, any and all important twitter events could have and would have been experienced with equal impact if they had occurred on other sites.

As far as political impact goes, because its userbase is microscopically minuscule compared to other forms of media, most if not nearly all "consumers" of Twitter content actually get it elsewhere.

Its absence would have all of the impression farms that call themselves news sites simply adopt an alternative source for their outrage-inducing content.

I'm tired of hearing about it.
It's a better alternative to the current experience of having existing projects practically held hostage. If you used Pantone colors previously, they now render as black until you either pay Pantone or install this.
I don’t go out to a restaurant to stare at my screen, and screen menus aren’t great.

I don’t mind using an app to pay when I’m done though. Especially if I don’t have to wait for the server.
Yes, this.
If I was to switch from Android to Apple, I'd first re-buy the apps I currently own. I wouldn't be rebuying them because Apple had brokered the interaction in some way - I'd just be using the single option I have to get the apps I want onto the phone in my hand.
There might be some new smart-phone user out there that buys apps based solely on recommendations from the store, but this is a minority (and maybe an argument for allowing paid promotion of apps, like everywhere else).

Stepping back to the point, I'm guessing 99%+ of Telegram users decided to use Telegram for reasons outside of the App Store. Seems ridiculous that Apple has any claim to the income those apps generate.

Maybe if US or EU wanted to fix this (without forcing apple to allow 3rd party installs), a solution might be to just get rid of 'free' apps.
Say every app costs $1 to install (if kept for 12 months) and 10c a year to provide updates - and then it's up to the app dev to cover the costs to Apple if they want it to be "free" to the user.

That's what I thought... and seL4 was the only one I could think of as well. I always see arguments around auditing as well but I think realistically unless a project has some enormous resources capable of funding this things themselves, you can't expect it to happen, but so many people poo-poo projects simply because it's "not audited", but to me that's silly because 1. most projects can't afford that, 2. who gets to say what has been audited "well enough", and 3. auditing results are only valid for specific snapshots of a repo and are completely invalidated as soon as any new changes are made.
And that's the same Wheeler in the Burrows–Wheeler transform.
Pi-hole is a bloated mess compared to this IMO. At the end of the day pi-hole is still just a fork of dnsmasq with a load of scripts and a bootstrap gui whacked on top. You need to add on extra bits and pieces to get anything like modern tech whereas AGH has https gui, multi-user support, DoH/DoT/dnscrypt/etc, toggles for quick blocks, access to a 'realtime' blocklist for emergent threats all baked in. It's also a single self-updating binary with a single config file instead of spraying bits all over your OS. Runs on pretty much anything you can think of, too.

pi-hole was great back in the day but unless you're just keeping on keeping on with an existing install there's better options available now.. AdGuard Home, Blocky, Technitium DNS etc.

I often compare pi-hole to DD-WRT inasmuch as it was awesome back in the day but times have changed and you probably wouldn't use it as first choice these days given what else is now available to you.
American Literature Is a Disgrace
Try the Waking Up app for a complete, organized collection of Watts’s work. I don’t take all of it at face value - some of it certainly hasn’t aged well - but I’ve derived a lot of wisdom from his work. If you’re interested in looking at the world a little differently then the typical western way, it’s worth your time to give his talks a listen.
