I know less about Portland, but both Seattle and Vancouver have extremely good local economies and expensive housing and housing shortages.

It's likely that there's a relationship here between people moving to these cities for better economic opportunities, then combinations of misfortune, rising rents and housing scarcity resulting in people becoming at risk of homelessness or being on the street.
There needs to be some kind of open API for this that users control.

I don't want Amazon to hoard its information about what books and/or movies I like. I want that to travel with me and let me share it but under my control.

Let me guess, a startup "claiming that it had devised urine tests that required very small amounts of urine and that could be performed rapidly and accurately, all using compact automated devices which the company had developed." with a surprisingly young and ambitious founder?
Didn't seem to make a difference here.
You say 40+ interviews. Is this something you've done? I did 10 last time I was on the market that was about my limit. 40 sounds like it would take inhuman stamina.
> using public funds

Wait, what? How are Tesla engineers being publicly funded?
> As an example, we've often been told to eat more fibers to increase "flow", the flow increase is because the fibers are digested by bacteria and the mild toxicity of the process forces the digestive system to flush everything.

Very interesting.

Can you maybe refer to some text(s) about this phenomenon of mild toxicity from digestion of fibers?
No, the point is that the vast, vast majority of workers in most jobs are worse off than anyone at Twitter now.
Doesn't help when it's a global problem.

We here in Switzerland try to do a lot to reduce waste and do our part but when I look at big countries like the United States that still have open toxic waste burning pits it feels like my efforts in my tiny country are a drop in the ocean.

Millennials couldn’t care less about Mac, Windows and desktop operating systems in general. Everyone does their computing needs on their phone.

Apple put the M1 and M2, which are literally the two most advanced CPU’s on planet earth, and it has only slightly pushed the Mac ahead. Putting Windows on ARM is a waste of time.
As it happens, the Bureau of Labor Statistics does an exceedingly thorough job of documenting how it generates its numbers. It has a bunch of explanations on its website. A good starting point might be the general overview of their job openings survey: https://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/jlt/data.htm
How does this differ from the if-let syntax we already have? I'm a bit of a rust novice.
Elon Musk’s first Hyperloop tunnel in California is gone
"Elon Musk’s first prototype Hyperloop tunnel is no more. Bloomberg reports that the roughly one-mile-long white steel tunnel running along Jack Northrop Avenue near SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California, has been removed and will be replaced with parking spaces for employees."

Do you expect company management and subordinates to have symmetrical work obligations?
it's fine

I'm sure that most of stripe work reasonable hours
As with most science it's a "warrants further investigation" kind of issue
Here's another article from nytimes:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/24/opinion/democracy-elector...

In it they explain the USA was never a democracy, intentionally.

Coming back to OP... Since America doesn't have Democracy...

Ya ouch. All the political violence, racial unrest... ya.

On the flipside, I thought I was crazy to predict the pelosi husband attacker would be Canadian.
Nope, I still don't get it. And I'm somewhat offended that you're just sending me random links instead of clearly explaining your position.

So, there are certain... specific... groups of people with specific characteristics who are sometimes not well thought of by some other people. And there's a word to refer to this specific group of people, and it's considered a Bad Word. And then we as a society come up with a new word for these people, which is now a Good Word. But in a couple of years, it starts being used as a slur (by the other people who dislike the specific people) and quickly becomes a Bad Word. This process keeps repeating ad infinitum and you're not going to solve it by successively banning each subsequent word and coming up with a new one which is now politically correct.

I don't think the words themselves are the problem here? The problem is that some people don't think well of some specific groups of people and whatever term is being used to refer to the specific group of people quickly becomes a Bad Word. And I don't think we'll solve this problem by banning the Bad Word and replacing it with the Good Word.
FreeBSD was held back by limited TCP options around when packet mobile internet (GPRS) came along. That was around 2003 too.

I remember noticing Yahoo properties being almost unusable in GPRS because they did packet loss detective and recovery in such basic ways e.g. no SACK.
But OP wasn't bragging about their 9gager project. Also, isn't it possible to be a good programmer but write bad code sometimes? Perhaps OP's best work just isn't on display.

Trying to give the benefit of the doubt, but I generally don't think one toy Github project is conclusive evidence of anything, really.
> should not give up whatever we got so far.

Absolutely! I declined multiple offers this summer because they would have been pay cuts. We agree.

> Few professions earned this quality of life

Well that is a can of worms. I'm going to guess Doctors deserve much better. I think the unfortunate reality is that, maybe, tech workers haven't earned this quality of life. Instead, we are the lucky recipients of decades of growth. This is something that isn't even shared in Canada or Europe, much less Asia, in terms of salary.

> This is the stuff the car industry did when they just offshored jobs,

Agree, this is going to be bad. Now that we have shown productivity with work from home, how tied are companies to these high USA salaries?

I'm not ok with it. But I also remember that when I'm running around looking for a job, the people with that job are making the demands. This is something that tech workers haven't actually experienced for a decade, but every other industry has.

> okay with these levels of lay offs and still revere these companies

Revere these companies? Founders are taking risks to make a LOT of money. They aren't here to make employees money. I don't revere these companies, and I don't put any stock in their Family Friendly or work life balance encouraged, marketing nonsense.
artificial sweeteners aren't physiologically inert.

Basically agree, yeah.
I just expunged the snap system entirely from my ubuntu. It feels much snapier without it. I've never tried flatpacks, my preference is to AppImages, they seem to perform much better than other systems I've tried.
> First load. Not burn. You need ~100t of fuel or 750 to 1000 tonnes of natural Uranium per GW to start a reactor https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML1034/ML103480530.pdf there are only around 8 million tonnes of reserves.

Your link says nothing about a first load taking 100 tons of fuel. But hey, even with these exaggerated figures, 8 million tons is enough for 8,000 GW of nuclear power. Only 2,000 GW is necessary for the world to achieve a 100% decarbonized energy production (the remaining 500 GW is fulfilled by hydroelectricity).

> Similar here (probably my fault for mentioning a 10-20hr storage). 400GWh/yr (previous year's output) would take 5 years for 4hr, production that has just opened would take 2.5yr or 20yr for the world's current electricity.

Again, your figure of 4 hours is overly optimistic and you give nothing to back it up. And that's 20 years of dedicating 100% of global battery production to storage. That means a complete stopping of EV production and no batteries for electronics, etc. This is not feasible.

> So I ask again. How do you propose adding even 100GW of low carbon capacity per year just to match renewables now? Your proposed solution is currently at roughly 5% of the current scale of the renewable industry, and the existing critical mineral supply chains would need to be expanded at least 300% to match it.

Expanding a mineral supply chain by 300% is more than an order of magnitude easier than the 5,000 - 8,000% expansion that renewables require. Furthermore, the energy density of uranium is such that alternative extraction methods are viable: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2016/07/01/uranium-s...

They're more expensive than mining, but the cost of extraction is such a small part of nuclear's cost that it doesn't increase the cost significantly.
At a naive level, this sounds like the sort of supply chain attack we've all been taught to fear. Asking seriously: has this build been replicated? is the source different from mainline? if so, what changed and who changed it?
Unfortunately, this is the world Signal lives in. For binary debian packages to be installed securely directly from a vendor requires the installation of gpg keys which is what 2 of the 3 commands are regarding. If Ubuntu had spent resources to develop a convenient way for developers to directly provide binaries to the users of their OS instead of developing a system where they are gatekeepers and distribute all packages Signal would now be able to provide an easier secure method of installation. If you were providing a privacy focused product which in some uses that privacy can be the difference between life and death, would you want to turn over supply chain protection of that product to a 3rd party?
This is helpful in putting the recent tech layoff announcements in perspective.
As a Rust team member, I have no earthly clue. Maybe it's the Core team? Or the blog author? Or the release team? Also no clue whatsoever as to the process for determining which cause to promote or even which causes are not allowed to be promoted (if any?). So now I'm curious... Let's look.

The blog is on github, and this is the commit that added it: https://github.com/rust-lang/blog.rust-lang.org/pull/1043/co...

What is the "leadership chat"? See: https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2022/10/06/governance...
1. I got excited when I saw arm64 mentioned. How competitive is it? Do you think it will be a viable alternative for Netflix in the future?

2. On amd, did you play around with BIOS settings? Like turbo, sub-numa clustering or cTDP?
Ah. The “protect the children” argument.
> if the payments they process are down significantly, then does it matter

Closest comparable is Adyen, processes 516B with 2500 employees.

Stripe processes 640B with 7000 employees.
Maybe the problem is more with synthesizing sugar without biological help. After some cursory googling, it sounds like many artificial sweeteners are several orders of magnitude "sweeter" than table sugar, so you'd have to synthesize far more L-sucrose to get a similar effect.
> How many are a) utterly useless or b) competent but don't have anything to do so they spend time working on mostly pointless projects to improve their CV?

I bet the people who hired them get to keep their jobs despite failing to a) hire useful people or b) competent people that can work on useful projects and c) burning cash while d) not turning a profit because e) they are just a gambling mechanism for investors.
Direct link to the song: https://youtu.be/kPAEMUzDxuo

I really like the video. The audio is not great by the standards of modern vocal synths. Manual tuning would help a lot; the best vocaloid producers manually tune their songs.

In the spirit of HN, here’s a few other vocal synth things that you might enjoy:

The definition of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative growth, which we've had.

We're waking up from a a long night of heavy drinking (free money via zero interest rate, unrestrained QE, etc.), the bill is due and you're plugging your ears and yelling that the party must go on.
I think their general plan will be to discourage/silence influential left-wing voices with enough cover to keep the majority of the audience for an emboldened right-wing.

If thinking imaginatively, then the proposal framed as "$8/mo or have your tweets deranked" is a deal they actively don't want left-wingers to take. They want to be able to derank their tweets with a cover of legitimacy.

The more they can turn this fee into a controversial "I support Musk" loyalty test, the more they can discourage left-wing / anti-Musk subscribers while encouraging right-wing / pro-Musk subscribers who will all have their tweets boosted.

Feels conspiratorial but it's a fee that mostly upsets existing blue tick celebrities which should be the last group Twitter The Business would want to annoy but they are the influential left-wingers. If you look at who Musk picked fights with about it e.g. AOC and Stephen King, then that is even more suggestive of deliberate provocation.

Whether planned or not, I suspect that this is how it play out.
Lol, ok, Bernie.
Vouch is building an insurance company that can keep up with the rapid change that characterizes the startup lifecycle. We're doing this by making insurance fast, responsive, and focused on our customer - startups. Our team is currently 200+ people, and we're growing. The engineering team (currently ~60 people) moves fast, and we see each person as crucial to the success of the company. We've raised over $160M from YCombinator, Ribbit Capital, etc[0] and partner closely with Silicon Valley Bank and other key players in the space.

We are hiring Senior Analytics Engineers, Software Engineers, Analysts, and several roles in the GTM side of the house. Our team has a hybrid remote set up, with offices in SF and Chicago, and many roles fully remote. Check out our open roles: https://www.vouch.us/careers

I joined a year and a half ago to lead our data efforts after 6 years at Apple, and it's been a great experience. I wrote a bit about why here[1]. Our roadmap is full of interesting technical problems - from building the most comprehensive startup ecosystem dataset in the world to embedded insurance platform challenges, which I recently covered in our engineering blog[2].

Apply directly on the link above, or feel free to ping me at avy.faingezicht@<our domain> and I'd be happy to share more about what we're building or route you to the right hiring manager.

That's asking human nature to change, or at least asking almost everyone to work on their trauma until they don't get so activated. Neither will happen soon, so this can't be the real answer.

I remember talking to an old hippie at a coffee shop, maybe a decade ago, who told me that the next Ice Age is coming to Europe. He showed me various graphs and statistics on his laptop, showing trends in ocean streams, etc. So far his prediction hasn't come true, but on occasion I hear similar theories from other (perhaps more reputable) sources.

Researchers show new Ice Age may begin by 2030 - https://phys.org/news/2015-07-ice-age.html

if we could make racemic glucose (i.e. a 50:50 split of D/L-glucose), the battle would be done.

you'd expect to see this if we had a purely synthetic process for the creation of glucose in the lab. but, as far as i know, we only have other biological processes that produce glucose, and as such, only produce the one isomer.
Beyond that, metadata can be every bit as interesting as the actual conversation. Alice only talks to Bob on the weekend. Charlie sending a message to Dave cascades to Dave talking to Eric, Francis, and Gavin. Herald is only online from this business' IP address during opening hours.

The list goes on (and on), but the point is that Facebook gets to be the good guy and claim E2EE, while gathering all that metadata.
I work for MSFT and have been using an SPX as my primary device for a little over a year. I haven’t had an issue with user space applications, but I do have an audio interface that doesn’t work because the vendor (MOTU) doesn’t ship ARM64 drivers :(
Fair, I hope I was clear in my post that I don't mean to say C++ is never the right choice, but... rarely.
I know what they say about writing about music, but I enjoy reading peoples’ opinion on what music they enjoy. Such writing is still a useful tool for discovery. I haven’t had a lot of success with algorithmic suggestions. I want human curation back! Not the kind of human curation that magazines put out, where they seem compelled to appeal to all audiences (and thus do little better than the radio), but actual real individual human opinions.
So what should they avoided doing? Hiring those people in the first place..?
Adding context: the US Fed raised the interest rate benchmark this week to 4%, with the expectation that it will be raised higher. Credit's getting a lot more expensive.
When I read about eBPF there always seems to be an implication that we could move this logic to the NIC.

I don’t know enough about it to know if that’s aspirational or an active project. But the idea of being able to push code to the “right” side of bottlenecks is a running theme, including in questions of user space versus kernel space. Chatty communication kills throughout and/or latency.
Who are you to say they're fine or not?

It's clearly controversial, and the commenter very well knew it would be before they commented, and after they got the replies they did.

It takes less time than it took for them to reply justifying their choice. As I said, be better.
Not disagreeing with you from the end-user perspective, but AFAIK there are no other solutions that meet all the needs of businesses short of self hosting something like CommuniGate and even that has it's short-comings. Some businesses are trying to use Google and some move back off of it. Corporate email has always been a quadruple edged rusty sword.

But I agree it is a nightmare.
Does this say anything significant or new about xylitol? This seems like the safest bet...
Anyone who has been there for a decade had options and has already cashed out.

Yup, I have the same experience even in smaller ways. Wavelet decomposition, parametric masks, Lab curves -- these things are fundamental to how I think of image processing now, and it all came out of forcing myself to be productive with Darktable.

None of those things are available in commercial processing software.

(Granted, it was a few years ago I did photography stuff last, so this may well have changed since then.)
Being cagey about the reasons for bans is

1. To keep people from cozying up to the electric fence. If you don't know where the fence is you'll probably not risk a shock trying to find it. There are other ways one can accomplish this like bringing the banhammer down on everyone near the fence every so often very publicly but point 2 kinda makes that suck.

2. To not make every single ban a dog and pony show when it's circulated around the blogspam sites.

I'm not gonna pass judgement as to whether it's a good thing or not but it's not at all surprising that companies plead the 5th in the court of public opinion.
You can't modify it and still call it Signal (i.e., misrepresent the trademark). You should be able to redistribute unmodified binaries.
Yes, on iPhone. Parent said they used Android, hence my confusion.
What senior management says publicly, what they say internally, and what the actual truth is are not necessarily the same thing. The GP I think is suggesting what they're saying publicly is not necessarily the truth.

Sure but when twitter users complain about bots they are complaining about content quality, not keyboard input methods.
> Seems like the option of continuing to "work" for your employer while finding another job is net better than that option.

I guess it depends on the person. My mental health would be 100% better knowing I have guaranteed income for X months and can freely spend my time working on getting a job and decompressing. As opposed to knowing I'm on a sinking ship but still having to half-ass 8 hour days for appearances.

Also recruiters who have been let go now are in a way better place than recruiters who are on ghost ships right now and will be let go deeper in the thick of the brewing storm...
If the same if for other activities, not just work, you might want to be checked for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS, similar to long covid). It can be like having a permanent flu in some ways (exhaustion, brain fog, non-restorative sleep, sensitivity to stimuli). Many doctors may have been influenced by a now-debunked study that claimed that gradually increasing exercise or getting CBT was the fix, but now the CDC, Mayo, UpToDate, and others seem to have better information. One source is batemanhornecenter.org . Diagnosis (at least in the past) involved eliminating other diseases and depression.

Also just an idea: finding what you can do might help understand the situation.
This is not correct. The trademark doesn't affect the copyright but you need both in order to publish binaries with the original name and logo in a store.

You need a copyright license to use the binary. You need a trademark license to use the trademark. See the firefox -> iceweasel kerfuffle
I think this speaks to the more general missing piece in the "$8" plan. Why did Twitter originally verify Stephen King for free? It's not because it benefited Stephen King, it's because it benefited Twitter. It made it a better product if other users could trust that the famous account they saw post was actually the famous person they wanted to hear from. Why does Elon want to verify users? Not because it benefits the individual user, but because it benefits Twitter's efforts to distinguish real users from bots.

But if the one who benefits from checkmarks is Twitter, why would users pay for them? It's a backwards proposition.

With if-let you still need to "pass down" the variable. It would look like:

let foo = if let Ok(f) = do_something() {
f
} else {
// Do some error handling, maybe log a warning, maybe skip this item and continue...
};

It's similar to `let else` but you still need this extra `f` variable that isn't really adding clarity.
