You seem to overlook the fact that Europe became dependent on Russian Energy against the wishes of the US.

You also seem to have selected an unrepresentative set of scare headlines.

Gas prices are in fact plunging in Europe, and the winter is turning out to be unexpectedly mild.

This supposed economic ‘suicide’ seems more like something that exists only in the mind of Vladimir Putin.

You also may not be aware that in the 1940’s Europe experienced war on their own territory. I am surprised you haven’t considered that they have their own reasons for wanting to disassociate themselves from Putin’s state.

They are either a vassal of the US, or they are not. Clearly, since they only do what the US wants when it suits them, there is no serious argument to be made that they are a vassal.

Some people even tried RDF and triplestores to structure metadata and separate from presentation. XSLT was supposed to become an almost universal presentation layout language/transformation language. Nawh, we have REST APIs, ORMs, and HTML and JSX templates that present rendered views devoid of data and logic behind them.

It should be fine to pirate 40-50 years old games, such as the Atari 2600 ones, at least for non-commercial usage. No one losts money.

For instance, the World of Spectrum and lots of C64/Amiga sites offered lots of its games legally.
Amusingly this is something you can synthesize without knowing what the instruction is, precisely because you don’t know what the instruction is. Most code is simple arithmetic and memory operations that are relatively well known. The use of specialty instructions is pretty rare and often a good way to identify specific code sequences. For example, I don’t really hear much about “vgetmantsd” but the fact that I don’t is a good sign it does a specialized operation that would make it a good needle. (Ok, I can probably guess what it does, but ignore that.)
Can you give an example of "arcane black magic heuristics"? I cannot imagine, what weird rules you could even come up with, aside from the normal "sensible" ones you already listed.
I'd be up front... Just say that you were contacted by recruiter about an opportunity that sounded interesting so you went in for an interview. Explain that you're happy at your current job and would prefer to stay, but obviously you can only do that if it makes sense for you financially.

I'd ask if they'd consider raising your salary to $70k. Explain that you're okay not getting the full $75k they're offering because you would like to stay, but you also don't want to feel like you're making a stupid financial decision - I assume that's the reason for the conflict here?

If you ask for $70k you're at least meeting them half way and showing you're willing to sacrifice a decent amount of money to stay with them. I think that's as reasonable as you can be honestly, but I guess it depends on how much you like the job - you could always ask for the full $75k then try to negotiate lower if they say no, but that would be probably be a higher risk approach.

I think the important thing here is that you're just honest about the situation and understand it's not impolite to ask your employer for a pay rise. At the end of the day you're offering them a service and if they can't pay you a fair price for your labour then they can't expect you to stay with them. You're not being difficult or greedy, that's just how the world works.

I knew a guy who was a great dev. He was working for a company for 15 years and in that time they never gave him a pay rise or a promotion. He was a "junior dev" for 15 years... A couple of years ago the company got into some financial difficulties and they decided to let him go. While I was with the company I told him constantly to demand a pay rise but he always felt greedy doing so and just hoped that if he worked hard enough they'd offer it to him eventually. I know that's not you, but my point is you need to have your own back. If you're worth $75k then there's absolutely nothing wrong with just being honest about the situation with your employer and asking for a raise.
Sometimes when you see a guy like SBF who fits the MIT hacker/ disheveled smart guy quant stereotype a little too perfectly you have to ask yourself “how much of this is an act?” Most real geniuses I know look unremarkable or boring. One place where people are masters of dressing and acting the part to get rich is Wallstreet though.

Show HN: Custom Keylabels for Your Custom Keyboard Layouts
Hey HN,

This is a bit of a weekend project that I'm currently trying out. When I'm changing the layout of my moonlander, I wish there was a way to change the labels of the keys as well.

So I thought about making some label stickers that sit over the key, and after some experimentation I'm pretty happy with the results, however I need a few other "keyboard buddies" to make it economical.

So I'm introducing https://kapd.au as a way for people to download the same template I used, and send it to me to get it printed out. I run in batches of 8 and while atm the prices are a little high, they can come down significantly if I get a few orders and verify the demand first.

Let me know what you think and please feel free to send it to any people you know who have custom keyboards and layouts!
Yes SCF make at least $10M per year now probably. Like I mentioned below theres a ton of other ones like dollar flight club, jacks flight club, nextvacay, mighty travels, etc. It’s not a new biz model, just very niched to one market.

Money from this is dwarfed by my day job income so I’d be happy with $1,000 per month
As far as I know, the spec still calls it "alternate voice or mood"; it's MDN, not the spec, that now calls it "idiomatic" text. So I stand by it being the MDN interpretation that's changed, not the spec (to pretend that it's not "we tried to remove it and failed" by making it something that at least actually starts with an I now, I guess, twice).
Depends on the car… there are still some extremely cheap options out there that do a surprising amount of stuff.

Meta AI Introduces ML Model That Predicts Protein Folding 60x Faster
IMO the coming tidal wave of regulation and stabilization will likely be fatal to Musk's empire. This is mostly due to his particular personality strengths and blind spots.

He should disengage and let his slowest, most conscientious people manage FTC discussions while immediately moving Twitter out of the news cycle. There are a lot of ways to accomplish this.

I've studied his personality for years now and this situation with its implied contact with the stabilizing archetypes in government is not something he should mess around with, and he should certainly not take it head-on.

And, maybe controversial but: IMO if he needs support from government he should get it from up-and-coming Democratic party leaders and virtually nowhere else. They will be architects of the stabilization protocol over the next 25 years and the time will come when they will be able to write him out of the world economy directly. He may find his best results here by actively engaging with them in a slightly abstract way through his government customer institutions and existing contracts.

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not.

That is the same entity controlled by the same dude above. The one that is imploding due to a liquidity crisis. FTX.

Which is at least partially imploding due to…. Not being able to get customer funds out in the form of cash?

So again, do you have an example of an actual individual able to get actual cash out?

Preferably also not someone neck deep in the Tether mess, with huge incentives to make stuff up, and not actively in the middle of going bankrupt?

Edit: even better, it looks like FTX committed blatant fraud. So yeah. I’m taking anything they have said as likely the opposite of true.

Probably not globally but if you restrict your focus to working age adults in America (the people who might be using this service) then it is not far off . The average American does spend about $1000 on coffee per year[1], which is probably where the author is getting this figure. The caveat is of course that this skews to fancy drinks with sugar injections and whipped cream, but close enough.

More evidence that Elon Musk believes he is working toward turning Twitter into X (the "everything app").

He recently mentioned this in the big collection of subpoenaed IM conversations (IIRC).
only Paypal & SpaceX though, the rest may fail, Neuralink & The Boring Company are merely hype at this point. Tesla will face a lot of competition in years to come and now it has no novelty factor.
Uranium is already over $50/lb. Doubling (which isn't even historic highs which were >$120/lb) would add 0.2c/kWh in the best reactors or 0.3-0.4c in the current fleet which is around 15-25% of a solar or good wind project's LCOE. The historic high happened when there was a small shortfall in production in two mines, and you're talking about quadrupling production overnight (because you need around 6 years of fuel to switch it on) just to meet the current pace of renewables.

> Uranium could easily be $300/lb and nuclear will still be
competitive.

$300/lb is $14/MWh which would put it precisely a dollar above the PPA price of recent indian and mexican solar projects in the current fleet, or $10/MWh which is projected 2025 prices in a high burnup reactor. Ie. Raw Uranium alone would cost more than renewables total cost whilst still only making up a quarter of the marginal costs and a tenth of the total cost.

> Yeah, "electricity" which is intermittent and currently requires Russian and Qatari natgas to load balance... or perhaps you can re-open some coal mines. Pick your poison.

Replacing 50% of electricity and 30% of primary energy without any electrical storage at all is still double what is possible with nuclear which will require that gas and coal to be running 24/7. 4 hour storage and more variable loads (like replacing fossil ammonia) can push this up to quadruple the maximum physically possible contribution from PWRs.

Also before you start gaslighting about storage you need to demonstrate that PWRs can do better than renewables with no storage if the PWR has 0 capex or build time, or that nuclear doesn't need 4 hour storage for meeting variable loads. Which you haven't.
You have trivialized and left out the most important part of this: "If it is growing at hypergrowth pace and has a huge multi-billion dollar market."

I think I triggered this a few times; I use a alarm clock that's dismissed via math equation which I frequently get mixed up with the lock screen when waking up. I have GrapheneOS set to auto-reboot every 8 hours so then there's also the SIM unlock screen. In the state of just waking up it's easy to PUK lock the SIM. I guess I just assumed the "Pixel is starting" message was some unrelated bug and just manually restarted. I think you can still continue to a normal boot if you manually lock or wait for the lock screen PIN timeout to expire.

Took my wife to MSK for a second opinion on the treatment plan for her ovarian cancer. They were beyond useless. They wouldn’t say or recommend anything until the current treatment plan (eg round of chemo or surgery) was complete, yet it was incredibly difficult to arrange time with them to review results when that time came.

Basically we got nothing from them.

Not sure what my point is other than if you’re getting a second opinion, discuss how the provider will integrate their assessment with the existing treatment plan. And at the end of the day it’s the doctors and nurses you get that make the difference in your care, not the building.

For those looking for such similar offerings, I find Carrd a good alternative too. Last time I checked, for as low as __$20 a year__, you get a whole lot of templates and ready to publish (on your own domain) and you can build as many sites as you need. I just keep it one around for something real quick where I need just some text and information or a contact form. I do not even want to use my own website templates that I have.

A Neuroscientist Threatened to Sue When Asked About His “Brain Enhancing” Tonics
If you think that isn’t a gamble, learning some history is in order. Real estate markets can go down, often in highly correlated events – for example, in San Diego in the 90s prices fell and stayed down for years because Cold War defense contractors laid off a ton of people & nobody needed a nice house near a closed plant. The market in San Diego did recover eventually but a bank would have to be prepared to maintain that property & pay taxes for years before selling it at a profit.

During the subprime crisis, the entire US market went down by 30% and in some places sales basically halted for months. Many thousands of people lost homes, and almost all of them had equity on paper before the bubble popped.

Individual actions also matter. Maybe the reason you can’t pay your bank is because you developed a mental illness or drug problem, and they now need to replace a large amount of damage before anyone will pay what you paid.

Those aren’t constant high risks but they are why smart bankers calculate the odds and plan for what they’ll do when something inevitably goes wrong.

This is a concept I stumbled across a few years ago, and have mentioned a few times on HN, usually in other transportation modality threads.

If you look at globe of the world, it turns out that there's not too much water preventing a globe-spanning land-based transportation network, with the exceptions of the Atlantic Ocean (standing between the shortest-link routes between Europe and North America and Africa and South America), and of course, Antarctica. Otherwise, the Bearing Strait, some island-hopping through Indonesia to Australia, and a few other not-overly-implausible links ... suggest themselves.

(New Zealand's also something of an outlier.)

But the Atlantic is a bear.

My thought is that a submerged floating tunnel, as has been proposed for the E39 fjord-spanning highway in Norway. Of course, there's a slight difference in scale between spanning a few km and few thousands of km.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submerged_floating_tunnel>

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_route_E39>

<https://nationalpost.com/news/norway-is-building-the-worlds-...>

Given costs and safety concerns, constructing a few smaller and shorter spans (say, from Great Britain to outlying islands, the Faroes, Iceland, or from Canada to its offshore islands), and piloting the project as an automated cargo-only link (24/7/365 rapid delivery without any weather concerns) might be one way to bootstrap the project.

Even based on some very rough estimates based on extant projects, a full Atlantic tunnel might easily run to a trillion dollars. Which is fairly considerable.

Though the promise of decarbonised transoceanic cargo and passenger travel at speeds not incomparable with present-day passenger jet aircraft is appealing.

How would a browser-based bookmark website (that is not self-hosted) even provide the ability to use local storage?

SQLite? that somehow is stored locally, even on desktop? Could Litestream or some other new tech like that help here?

Or file-based? with some sort of sync-based system? Manual syncing or automatic? Similar to dropbox, I guess

I struggle to clearly see how local storage could be achieved technically

Vitamin D Augmentation in Major Depression with Comorbid Vitamin D Deficiency
There are a few interesting aspects to cancer that you might find enlightening.

First is "p53, the guardian of the genome." It has the ability to trigger apoptosis in a cancer cell, when stimulated correctly. It is usually active, and (likely) terminates most of your precancerous cells via apoptosis, the controlled cell suicide pathway.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P53

The second thing that cancer must do is shut down the mitochondria, because they are involved in apoptosis.

An interesting thing about cancer is that it needs glucose, and lots of it because it cannot use efficient mitochondria, and instead relies on anaerobic respiration.

The last interesting thing is autophagy, starvation (of sugar) which will slow down any cancer and potentially reactivate p53, depending upon your willingness to avoid prolific glucose sources.
