The reasonable approach to options, if you’re not trying to go crazy speculating, seems to me to be hedging strategies. Or selling options to take a little each sale if you don’t mind the somewhat lesser risk dependent on the type of market at play. All that said, that’s my armchair take as I don’t mess with them outside of Wall Street Raider.
Not a remote worker, but I've been doing basic stretching and exercises at my desk to burn off my excess ADHD energy for a while. I've been a big fan of having some 10lbs dumbbells on my desk (For basic dumbbells moves) and an elevated device (really just 2 wooden 2 X 4s glued together) for stepping and elevated calf raises.
> Perhaps a mode where you tell the browser to ignore any CSS or Javascript; possibly also in this mode the browser could use better more readable standard html rendering, similar to what most markdown renderers choose by default (bigger font sizes and line-height, more and more even whitspace around headings, maximum page width, etc), instead of the legacy choices they are now sticking with for backwards compat.

Isn't that just Reader Mode?

As a new dad, I would love to have the voice-to-text accuracy and speed I get on my Pixel phone on my desktop OS. Done right, I could easily see myself using it more often than when I have my youngling in one arm as I've been WFH for the better part of the last 6 years of work.
Except the issue with the delay is captured by your analogy perfectly:

> You'll be slammed with updates when you turn it on.

For a computer that isn’t an issue. But consider the health impact of “getting slammed” with several months, or take to an extreme, several years of missed immunity “updates”
Plenty of people got a lot more than the usual stimulus checks. People with multiple kids got quite a bit. I’m a photographer and was able to collect unemployment on weeks I didn’t make enough, or spent enough on expenses to offset my profits.

That means all of my usual expenses during that period were paid for (unless I made nothing or too much that week), plus a lot of weeks it made sense for me to get new equipment.

In many states, people on the low end of the earning scale made more through unemployment than they did working. I have two friends with small businesses that had a hard time getting people to come back to work for that reason.
I find it hard to take this seriously. The author mostly talks about the elite and the working class while ignoring the middle class.

In most wealthy countries, the educated middle class is about as large as the working class. There are often massive cultural differences between the groups. Many of the things the author attributes to the elite can also be attributed to the middle class. The same ideas the author found at elite institutions such as Yale and Cambridge are also prevalent in most middle-class universities.

This is largely a mentality problem. Men are capable of choosing to self-select out of dating and marriage, but to project this issue on an entire gender speaks of personal insecurities.
I do Redis in a thread pool. Did this before aioredis came out, have kept doing it because I know it and it works. Have used the same pattern for a few other things it works so well.
I think the author misses the point that often those poorer people who are victimized by criminals are then ignored or even endangered by the police response. Police budgets keep increasing and outcomes including percentage of solved crimes keep declining. A good portion of that money could be much better spent on eradicating poverty, treating drug addictions instead of incarcerating users, keeping people in schools, keeping parents in homes, and having mental health resources for people before they are beyond help.

Having owned a bar in the past I can tell you right now the most wealthy people either didn't tip at all or very little. Fellow service industry people tipped the best.
I think most complaints are coming from customers who don't want to have to consider the wellbeing and livelihood of underpaid employees, who require charity to survive.

In most every transaction these days, customers are guilted into providing wages for essentially unpaid employees, and I'm sick of the mind games.
I care. I own a number of Oxford press books. The old logo says to me “serious, distinguished, trustworthy, academic, has been around long enough to be taken seriously, etc.”

The new logo is not one I could take seriously.

It may be a word like "fishes". I once saw "fishes" on an interpretive sign at an aquarium and some folks were mocking such and obvious grammatical error. Turns out, "fish" is the correct way to refer to multiple individual fish as a group, whereas "fishes" is the correct way to refer to multiple species of fish.

I wonder if "octopi" might refer to multiple octopus without making any indication as to weather they are or are not the same species, whereas 'octopodes' deliberately speaks across speciation? I dunno... I'm just spit-balling here. I probably should have done more research before commenting. Downvote if I'm way off base. :)
You've described a static site generator, which I mean not as "hey you should have known that" but more as a "good news, that basically exists and you can use it now!"

No, there's no standard with static site generator, but there never will be. The combination of the wide variety of needs and use cases and the ease of starting one of these up (I can literally bash together the skeleton of a useful static site generator in 4 hours, and this isn't just "oh I could recreate dropbox in a weekend if I wanted to because I am a swaggering HN programmer", it is something I've literally done rather than sit down and learn someone else's because it was faster to bash something together than read docs) means that there will never be a shortage of these, and none of them will ever managed to capture 99% of the market to become a de facto standard.

I basically have websites that work the way the author describes. There's no particular need or benefit from expecting the web browsers to do this. There are disadvantages to this approach but the web browser directly rendering the markdown doesn't really solve any of them.

One of my ongoing frustrations is python isn't just the lack of backwards compatibility but that if you inherit a script there's no way to know which version of the language it was written for. If you're lucky you can track down the developers, but IME even they often say "I'm not sure, let me run python --version".
The problem starts when you work for a place that does not get good tips but heavily relies on them.
Yes, restaurants (at least they used to) partner with either Coke or Pepsi and get things like free signage, etc. in exchange.
it wasnt as extreme. Even in the 60s , 10% of people were unmarried. These percentages have doubled since. According to the article in india that percentage was <2%
If T-cell count and function is normal immunity should last. The idea that immunity wanes is coming from universities looking at antibodies (a different immune cell) as markers for vaccine efficacy. Industry prefers that way because waning antibodies means they'll sell more "boosters"

Arguing that new (or newly-conspicuous) PoS tipping is just a way to get price-insensitive spenders to pay more ignores the social dynamic which will cause many price-conscious customers to tip when they can’t really afford to or else to not tip and feel uncomfortable.

In either case, these price-conscious customers are less likely to come back. But since this PoS tipping trend seems strongest in hip, gentrified shops, maybe they aren’t interested in having less well-off customers in the first place.
Generators are great for predictable concurrency. Things like asynchronous I/O, with timeouts and stuff, require more support on the language and stdlib level.
It means reallocating funds and responsibilities to social services.

If something isn't being actively attacked, penetrated, scoured over, delved into, fuzzed, and poked at by MULTIPLE EXPERTS IN THE FIELD, you should assume it has several completely bypassing security vulnerabilities.

“many eyes make all bugs shallow” should have always been seen as horse shit. It has the same level of evidence as other linuxy "truisms" like "worse is better" and "everything as text or a file is best"

Heartbleed and shellshock sat right in public eye for quite some time, but it turns out nobody was watching.
Since you are comparing Zig with V:

> V promised a lot of stuff as ready but has undelivered most of them

This is wrong. V has an online playground, a package manager, hot code reloading and a REPL whereas Zig doesn't even though Zig is twice as old.

> If V was truthful like Zig, it would be able to create a foundation

Raising money doesn't lead to adoption, though. By this logic, C isn't truthful either since it doesn't have a foundation.

> Also a programming language will never be able to substitute another one if it is not able to call its vast number of libraries

How is this relevant? Both Zig and V can call C code and leverage C's ecosystem of libraries.
Don't forget that markup refers to the document's formatting and markdown is a specific markup library that converts text-to-HTML. So technically all browsers do support markdown.

We should re-visit the actual term "mark-up" which refers to decorating copy during the editing phase. I think many people agree that using markdown to "mark-up" copy on websites is easier.

My worry is that this "asking for tips" trick is allowing employers to reclassify non-tipped positions as tipped positions that they can then substantially underpay, and not a lot of people know the laws that would force the company to match back to minimum wage if tips don't cover it.

From a #teamchaos point of view I'm a little hopeful this new push is a bridge too far, and it gets us to rethink tipping culture.
Yeah, so a couple years back the "Technische Universität Berlin" rebranded to "Berlin Universität der Technologie" or Berlin University of Technology. Because they thought that would be more similar to e.g. MIT and the like. Of course the abbreviation then would be BUT... Thankfully it did not stick and they are back to Technical University of Berlin.
if you count many people that don't truly want to, but are pressured to, then it sort of evens out or more.

> Europe apparently operated a lot less draconian wrt schools, never really closed down & things worked out pretty well.

I certainly would've preferred this; here we kept the bars open, but closed the schools. Both are middle grounds, I preferred Europe's prioritization. At the time these decisions were being made, some folks talked about R0 being like a budget - you want it under one, and each mitigation gets you part of the way there. I was disappointed to see the US prioritize economy over kids; much of the world made the opposite choice, and provided more income supports to keep kids in school.

> You don't need a middle ground for the least vulnerable age-range for covid.

This would be a great point if kids lived alone, with no vulnerable folks at home.

> it's irrecoverable because you never get back lost time

People recover from lost time frequently. If your teacher is sick and you have a substitute teacher for a couple days, that time gets made up. There's summer school, enrichment programs, etc. Very little of what kids learn in school has to be learned in one specific set of months; there's a pretty large range in exact ages within a single grade, even.

It'll be years, maybe decades before we know how plastic child development is in this regard. Right now, there are massive unknowns in evaluating all of this.
Octopoda is the order, better not mix both terms
What you are describing is a technical solution to a business and social problem. It won’t actually solve what you think it will.
I'll usually toss a buck or two if there's a tip jar. I'm not hurting, why not.
Spark version 2 has been my go-to for years, but they just released v3 which is an electron app that requires a subscription, and that’s a hard pass from me. I’ve found Apple’s Mail client a woefully inadequate replacement, however, so for the time being I’m sticking with Spark v2 via the crApp store.

"4) FTX International currently has a total market value of assets/collateral higher than client deposits (moves with prices!). But that's different from liquidity for delivery--as you can tell from the state of withdrawals. The liquidity varies widely, from very to very little. 5) The full story here is one I'm still fleshing out every detail of, but as a very high level, I fucked up twice. The first time, a poor internal labeling of bank-related accounts meant that I was substantially off on my sense of users' margin. I thought it was way lower. 6) My sense before: Leverage: 0x USD liquidity ready to deliver: 24x average daily withdrawals Actual: Leverage: 1.7x Liquidity: 0.8x Sunday's withdrawals. Because, of course, when it rains, it pours. We saw roughly $5b of withdrawals on Sunday--the largest by a huge margin." https://twitter.com/SBF_FTX/status/1590709172936798208

I don't understand this. In FTX International terms of service ( https://help.ftx.com/hc/article_attachments/9719619779348/FT... ) they say that users have full title to digital assets, that they are the property of the user, and shall not be loaned to FTX trading and are treated as they belong to FTX trading, and that users control the assets in the account.

FTX was never claiming to run a bank where they loan out users deposits for interest. They were claiming to be running a 100% allocated, straight up custodial vault. Therefore they should be able to simply return whatever assets customers owned on their service, even if every customer wants their asset back at the same time.

If they were actually loaning out customer's assets and running a fractional-reserve bank, that is just straight up fraud, full-stop.
wget ;)
Some (many?) countries have demonstrated that no-tipping can work just fine.

> makes them less competitive to any nearby coffeeshops that haven't raised prices

Maybe I'm an outlier but for me I'm sick of the mental game of "Am I good member of society for the % I selected, and how much will my date judge me if I choose what used to be the norm -- 10%-15%... and am I the sucker if I choose a high amount while other people groups select low amounts?". Some of you may be too young to realize but there has been tip % inflation that is when combined with price inflation the tip amount has grown geometrically.

To me a good customer service is I order my drink, I pay the stated price -- no more or less than the next person. Tipping makes me feel both guilty/ashamed and like a sucker knowing that certain groups of tip less. (and nothing to do with means)

Why cant we just give employees dignity and a fair wage?
I wonder if reluctance to fix this was because this "backdoor" was being used by security services.
They now have to figure out the new one...
Social Media Guide
There is strong need of a book something like this :

Complete Guide on usages of Social Media platform for community people

There are tons of Whatsapp group of a people who either belongs to a specific caste, business, area and they use it very much without having proper knowledge and sense. So, I think such book/blogs may attract interest and help the people.
Not to disparage the article here, just more of an observation in the trend of “now you tell me” financial journalism. I wish these types of articles would surface more at the times people need to hear them instead of after a bubble bursts. It’s easy to take a stance when the mood has turned, but I don’t remember these articles surfacing much during the last height of stock speculation last year. I have no data to back that up so it could be my own biases at play.
Yeah, fair enough.. I don't like it though. That's why I work at FAANG for a high salary instead of randomly fixing open source bugs and jingling my Patreon jar at people

Show HN: Postcard – Easy way to make a personal website
Today I'm launching Postcard!

I started Postcard when I deleted most social media, but still wanted a way to keep in touch with friends and my network.

When I worked at Webflow, it became clear to me that most website builders are way too complex for individual users. So, I drew inspiration from social media - where all you need is a couple photos and text fields to get a great site online. So, I think I’ve about achieved a site builder that even my Mom could use.

The product seems simple, but there are many under-the-hood optimizations. There's caching, CDNs, custom domain support, TLS certificate issuance + management, dynamically-generated open graph images, image optimizations, email sending, full-text RSS feed, email reputations, and more. It also uses a couple new products to make the domain connection process easy.

Let me know if you have any feedback or questions!

PS - Rumor is that Twitter is shutting down Revue. If you want help transferring content and subscribers over to Postcard, just email me!
—I’d say it’s the other way around isn’t it? Wouldn’t Markdown be a subset of HTML, since all markdown can be expressed in HTML but not all HTML can be expressed in Markdown?—

Edit: Markdown can contain HTML that gets meaningfully interpreted as markup as well.

I’d also say HTML is not difficult to write, even for someone new to the concept. I don’t think anyone making their GeoCities homepage was too strained learning HTML, and those were leagues more advanced than what’s possible with only Markdown!

If you want people to be excited about self-publishing online again, it’s probably best to start with the markup language that allows for some fun :)
Ah ok, sorry. No clue there, other than the software also being developed there.
As it says in the blog post (and is confirmed somewhere in the comments here) this is not pixel specific.
I imagine the new logo looks more appropriate on a book about computer science or theoretical physics.
What exactly has been lost here? Neither the city nor the university is wanting for pedigree
This sounds like a UI race condition and actually gives me more confidence in the iPhone (unlike the Pixel, the unlock state isn’t tied to UI elements).

Unless of course you can do this long after it locks…
I'm wondering the same. Maybe they're implying that things are going to get so bad that Amazon will just never be able to afford to replace them and they'll stick around like an IRS mainframe?
Completely agree with this.

I have several python services running as glue between some of our components. They all use threading. I find it alot easier to reason about.
Why not use org-mode format, which is a much saner markup language?

Being there, why not just implement full org-mode in browsers natively, and use it instead of html?
it's not my take, but the article makes it sound like marriage is severely holding back people and that indian men are naturally inclined to riot. all of which is BS of course
What is inflation if not the capitalists raising prices?
I've gotten poor treatment after giving 10% on a $18 drink before.

Edit: so I guess I'd ask what is the approximate reference price for your "A dollar" comment? Cause if it's a $5 can of beer, vs a $20 cocktail those are very different tips.
I understood that options trading is zero-sum: to win, someone else has to lose. In this sense it’s like gambling, also in that the house always wins because they collect the fees no matter what. Like gambling I’m sure there are plenty of people with success stories too. Is this assessment wrong?
The examples I picked are not actual because I don't remember or record actual situation when it happened, but I actually started this discussion on an online board after noticing another member having made gross mistakes in their typing.

Yes, I make mistakes in written english too, but they are of a different nature, for instance, I would never start writing "dee fay rent" in handwriting, but these types of typos have happened in the past when typing.
that is an absurd exaggeration, or you don't realize all the issues of low level sockets that are abstracted away
I kinda meant jobs in academia that are not being an academic. I work as a programmer in a lab, so I'm isolated from the pressure the PIs and postdocs face.
It doesn’t really, none of this is adding up. But he’s explicitly lied about this stuff in the past couple days (and since deleted the tweets) so that’s probably what’s happening here
I suspect a common experience for Uk visitors to the US is getting off the plane, going to a hotel bar for the first time, buying drinks, paying for them, and then been told (possibly passive-aggressively) to ** off.

[It’s more usual to pay for drinks one at a time in Uk bars, and unusual to tip if not eating a meal.]
I would argue it's more likely that most wealthy people that are the type to let you know they're wealthy either didn't tip at all or very little. There's plenty of wealthy people that tip very well, but many of them don't flaunt it in any way.
I think that has a large role to play -- every "decade" / time period has had its identifying aesthetic qualities, trends that have been picked up and adopted en masse.

Perhaps in the early 2020's the trend is corporatized blandness, the naked skeleton of capitalism showing through skin as thin as profit margins.
It would be much better if this event was called November pogroms instead of the positively-sounding "crystal night".

But many Germans, even news anchors (just noticed it on the radio today) trying to use the "pogrom" term sometimes get it wrong and use "progrom" with an additional "r"... so it's no wonder that people try to avoid the mistake and use "Kristallnacht".
