This is what happens when the people responsible don't have basic cultural competence. Or possibly poorly written code. Or more likely poorly defined requirements handed from product management.

There are holidays where it is appropriate to advertise food sales.
And there are days of commemoration of tragedies where you just may be in mourning.
But those are instances where you can use TypeScript/node.js which is less verbose than Java and has better native async support. Also easier to write tests for.

Also VSCode with Rust Analyzer works decently as an IDE.
I don't feel guilt, I still feel rage. I didn't determine any of the parameters or rules of the trial so I have no guilt on me. I just observed that the control group is dead because of some belief that they provided value when we already knew exactly what was going to happen to them.

If you can prevent harm to others, then not doing so is just being an a$$. The trolley problem is just counting souls and really doesn't happen much in real life. The true problem is thinking the only choices are us/them versus everyone. I'm not a doctor so I have no idea how their ethics applies to their professional decisions.

I'm a second time founder and today I'm launching StoryPrompt.

StoryPrompt was spun out of the challenges I faced at Sendible (my first company) as a bootstrapped founder. For a period of 3 years, our growth stalled and I needed a way to stand out in a crowded, venture-backed space.

I decided to position us as the smaller, more approachable alternative. So, I opened up my calendar every afternoon for office hours with customers.

What I didn’t expect was that in the process of having these calls, not only was I giving the Sendible brand a face in a sea of faceless competitors, but I was collecting valuable social proof and building a community of advocates.

As a result, we doubled our revenue, were listed as one of the top 3 social media management tools on G2, and were ultimately acquired in 2021.

However, despite its effectiveness, meeting customers face-to-face every day and collecting feedback in this way just isn’t scalable for most CEOs, let alone companies.

So, I built StoryPrompt to help other businesses engage (and delight) their customers face-to-face without the need for live calls, and then share that delight with the world to grow faster.

100% free to use (with upgrade options).

Would love your honest feedback as it's a new concept - especially when it comes to building a face-to-face community.

Cheers! Gavin
Why has the title been editorialized? Also why is the date September 2022 in the post's title when the linked post's most prominent detail is "Update: November 9, 2022"?
Consider the payment system call cash: there is no way to reverse fraudulent transactions except via the court or criminal justice system. I think it is very reasonable to have an electronic cash payment system which you would use for the same purposes you currently use cash--mostly either in person transactions or with people you trust.

>"A person should not be able to create an account, commit fraud, and run away with the proceeds."

Well this is what we have a criminal justice system for.
Thanks for the link, but it is specifically comparing _education_ levels, which has been strongly leaning towards more women, for various factors: such as, men are more interested in trades (partly economic, but also instinctual) and STEM, and most "education" now has been diluted to appeal to women; there are more creative, feminine studies now than 50 years ago.

>> the more complex the hierarchy, the worse change is for those on top.

>Because they can fall to the level of an unattractive woman 50 years prior?

Yes. unattractive woman 50 years ago still had plenty of men to choose from - most men didn't procreate, although the levels weren't as drastic today.

Now, unattractive men cannot convince the same ladies to "swing down", which is why there is an all time high of unchilded women at menopause age.

>India is a terrible example of generalized outcomes. It has a large gender imbalance and this whole dowry bullshit.

I want to agree, but, it _is_ the oldest civilization on the planet, and it is the in the most immediate dire population/ecologic/economic stress. I think something can be gleaned, and not placed at the hand of outdated cultural alone.
yeah because he made a fuzz about it. Guess how many bugs are reported in and they just tell you it was already submitted and never talk to you again.
You make some fair points, although I wasn't trying to be legally accurate.

I agree that use isn't governed by copyright, copying is. However, to "use" code is to make a copy of it (multiple times usually).

As far as attachment goes, I think the common sense meaning was clear. On GitHub, you can attach a license. I wasn't claiming that "attachment" was some feature of copyright law!

On fair use, I agree with your point entirely.
You are wrong. Being not a constitutional right doesn't mean it's banned.
Weird. Here's the idea presented on:

The Vocaloid sound is basically part of the brand now. I can't imagine them ever changing it, and if they did, the existing producers would most likely shun it in favour of the sound that they've gotten used to.
Did you read the article? He didn't cash out for the same reason he left a job with guaranteed wealth at Jane Street: he doesn't think he has the same diminishing marginal utility for money that you do.
It's next to impossible in many agencies and departments. The reason given is that they are not allowed to show favoritism or clear support/preference to one given contracting company, and they say an award to a contractor would do that.
As the other poster pointed out, that's primarily due to the energy costs and those will most likely come down. For a more accurate look at inflation, you should look at core CPI which excludes energy and food which can be volatile. This number is closer to around 5% in most of Europe.
It was my understanding that every study has a control group getting the standard care. I didn't see a study without such a control group.
I believe his FTT was illiquid because if you tried to sell it, it would kill the price as there wasn't any real demand for his FTT. I am unsure if that is a standard definition of illiquid.
> a literal coat of arms, which isn't something you see every day

Except that a coat of arms has got to be THE most common logo for anything university related. I don't like the new one at all, but if you'd showed me the old one and asked me what it was for I'd have had no idea. Not memorable or recognizable at all, even if it is their coat of arms.
I've had absolutely no problems using async programming in python. It's extremely easy to setup a script in 100-200 lines of code to do something like:

pull the rows from postgres that match query <x>. Process the data and push each row as an event into rabbitmq. In <200 lines of code i was easily processing 25k/rows per second and it only took me a few minutes to figure out the script.
No. Or: this is not evidence of that.
The unfortunate part is that your company is in competition with the rest of the world.

I made the comment about slackers because having moved from retail to military to tech, the amount of privilege shown unironically by tech employees on "crunch" is borderline unbelievable.
I know it's stupid, and at the time political, but I keep my certificate that came with my NASA award. As a kid who always wanted to be an astronaut, helping the space program enough that they give you a postit note that says "thank you" in government speak is still my highest honor.
Nearly every restaurant in London automatically adds ~12% even for 2 people. I don't know about the rest of the UK but it can't be drastically different.
I debated the Patagonia altruist marketing play with friends.

The consensus was that if you were the kids, you'd much rather have the post-tax cash in your bank account. :-)
Back then large percent of mortgages were adjustable rate, the amount of those now is a single digit.

I don't see why; it just has a keybind for Control+G.
This doesn't surprise me much. Most of the cost of these things is the cost of packaging and trucking them around - the cost of the sugar syrup in Coke isn't adding much cost versus the sparkling water. The soda maker might have a more efficient distribution network that allows a lower cost per unit. That, and the customer who's buying sparkling water (instead of buying soda, or just plain bottled tap water) probably is willing to pay more.
I don't know. I think you could make the argument that the only thing missing from the old logo was a pineapple.

I mean it's not the most egregious examples of pictographic stuffiness but it definitely has that pre graphic design kitchen sink vibe.
Hm, the first example - Revolut. The fact that the author thinks the original logo was recognizable or had any character is very questionable.

Revolut was founded in 2015, the time when a huge number of startups (including my own) had blue logos with a light gradient. This is such a cliche logo that it's almost laughable to even take seriously. Do you not remember 2015 and the wave of blue tech logos?
Crawling should be the easiest part.
No you're onto something, "throw" seems like it might not be the most appropriate verb here. This is more akin to blowing or spitting.
I have some issues with this logic. My oldest daughter spent essentially her whole first 2.5 years in a pretty closed social circle, because she wasn't in day care. When she started preschool at age 4, by this logic, shouldn't she have been susceptible to these severe infections?

I don't think her situation is all that uncommon. Not every kid went straight to daycare prepandemic. Is there any evidence that children with relatively closed social groups get these severe symptoms when they do get exposed?

I don't have a great answer for what is going on, if not this "immunity debt" thing. It just seems a bit flimsy to me.

For what it's worth, I've had ER trips for 2 of my toddlers in the past month with rhinovirus/enterovirus, the other pathogen besides RSV that's slamming toddlers currently. They both made pretty quick recoveries with prednisone for one of them and an albuterol nebulizer for the other.
> we can agree that the old logo is just not compatible with something that is modern or inclusive, and it had to go.

No we can't agree on that. What you say is nonsense.
Right. So you think it's mainly an education/documentation issue? I'm totally open to that in fact being the case. One really simple use case I had was just annotating a method to run async and then calling that in a loop elsewhere which did speed up a bunch of work I was doing pretty dramatically.

import asyncio
def background(f):
def wrapped(*args, **kwargs):
return asyncio.get_event_loop().run_in_executor(None, f, *args, **kwargs)

return wrapped

Yeah, back in the day, camera phones were very expensive. Not to mention internet connection, data rates, call rates, etc.

It was very expensive to maintain a phone without a camera. Definitely prohibitively expensive for teens to have a camera phone and use sharing / MMS.
Interestingly, your comment is very similar to the Gemini FAQ "2.9 Why didn't you just use Markdown instead of defining text/gemini?" [1]

Yes, my friend's daughter who just now in the first grade has been sick all school year. She was not put into daycare pre-covid and did online kindergarten after that. Her latest infection has been bacterial based which has another twist. Apparently so many kids are getting bacterial infections, that Amoxicillin is now in short supply. The doctors had to prescribe her a cephalosporin as an alternative.

They used FTT as collateral for loans used on trading activities that boosted FTT value

It's not literally a Ponzi, but it's Ponzi adjacent behavior, like what Bill Hwang did.
I get while you think it’s offensive, but that’s not intentional. It’s more that if you hold your hand on the words and you see only the circle logo you get different ideas of what this brand might be.

Pretty sure a lot of people would answer “tyre company” or “gear manufacturer” or something. So it does not communicate well.

About the banner nitpick, banners needed to be seen from afar, during chaotic scenes, so were often quite easy to distinguish from afar :)
I am not saying the new logo is amazingly unique. I am saying that the cries about the individuality and character of the old logo are overblown. It's a pretty generic coat of arms.
For those of us wondering: fanfare seems to be a transcription service (audio/video to text). The emphasis seems to be on the (automatic) creation of a video with caption for the purpose of promotion. The USP seems to be AI assisted highlighting of the best moments in a recording. They are english only. No freebies.
Nice work! Account signup was fast, and the interface was very easy intuitive and easy to use.

A nice feature would be for the ability to process/save the collection of email addresses to my ConvertKit account (and have the email signup confirmation sent to the user sent from ConvertKit itself).

What service do you use now to handle the email signups (and send confirmations) on our Postcard page?

Edit: Sorry I just realized, that the email signup is for sending out updates when I update my Postcard page.
In this line of thought, in about 15 years, Boeing employees will get recognized for the incredible work on Starliner capsule. Wait, at this rate, it'll be closer to 25 years. But as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait and wait and wait and bloat the budget
I clicked the 'Make Your Website' CTA immediately hit the signup form and promptly bounced. That is not to say this thing won't be successful, just that I am clearly not the target audience.

It might be worth it to expose a way to try it out and explain why I should use it over the many other ones like it. Or not. Whatever converts better.

But if not on the website itself at least tell us these things here in the Show HN :)

The past two years have demonstrated the state of the art w.r.t. infectious disease may not be as great as advertised. So likely gut feeling.
my point is that you're depriving yourself of good art for an arbitrary moralism. just as ridiculous as saying "i'll never listen to a singer that uses compression bc the artists i listen to MUST have perfect dynamics (even though this has zero impact on the final product)"

im making fun of you for being silly
You keep saying "intellectual property" but that term makes no sense, like saying "dry water". Property rights and the arrangement of those atoms are fundamentally incompatible. You cannot be for property rights and also for copyrights and patents—that would be like saying you are dry while you swim in the ocean—it's a stupid statement, to be blunt, and suggests you should maybe try to rewire some broken connections in your mind. Just because plenty of sheep are willing to go along and repeat stupid things does not mean I will give you a pass.

Jane Street isn't a hedge fund so I'm not sure why you're lumping in criticism of hedge funds with criticism of Jane Street.

I'm sure some hedge funds have been scams, and probably a decent percentage are frauds in the sense that they have no alpha even before fees (this isn't a crime though). There's not much evidence that the fund you're referring to is a fraud. There are published strategies now that if implemented in the 90s and early 2000s would've earned returns of >50% after transaction costs so their results seem attainable though obviously exceptional.
HTML / CSS ended up being extremely granular and hackable while missing the big building blocks that would have readily matched the structure of the web - things like navigation menus or page outlines. We waited over a decade for the layout systems to catch up to developer needs while creating buggy float-based grids. It's an outlier that media queries were already in widespread availability when mobile really started picking up.
He may have introduced an abortion ban but the bill never passed and Republicans in Congress never voted for it. The poster above you said Republicans banned abortion at the federal level which is 100% wrong.
It doesn't get decrypted. The data is still safe after a reboot. That's presumably why the phone hangs for the author after a reboot. Although some comments have said Android itself loads (and I guess also the launcher) but they can't really do anything
From a Devops perspective, I think people are accustomed to staring at a screenful of yaml or json output when something goes wrong, but not a screenful of XML. But at the sams time, a lot of places still use Jenkins, which is now the mature, legacy product. If you've been in the industry for more than a decade, this comes across as ironic, but no one knows what the next thing will be, that will finally put yaml in the rear-view mirror where it belongs.

Part of the car color thing is how secure people feel financially. When they feel good, they buy a color that speaks to them. When they don't, they buy a color with resale value, black, white, or gray.
When I think about it rationally, the answers are pretty obvious to me. Either he wanted something other than money (winning, fame, etc.), or he was addicted and wanted more money.

I don't have billions of dollars, but if I was put in that position, I could imagine myself doing the same, maybe. (not the fraud part, but continue working)
> The simple answer seems, because if you believe it to be real, you can be this specific kind of Harvard + New York + "X" kid - and seriously, they are all cut from the same jib, superficially and inside their character, it tarnishes the institution - and you can do this scam and pocket your change and eat dim sum with 20 people on the weekends and have a skinny girlfriend and buy a condo. You can do something pretty meaningless with your life in exchange for the burn out.

> This scam life lets 20 year olds not hear from their horrible parents that burned them out and gave them no meaning. Eventually they turn 30 and hope that a decade went by without a crash, and then life decides for them to sell before the ponzi collapses. Like you have a baby with your skinny girlfriend and you buy the condo and great, you sell, and it happens to be well timed!

What empowered opposition or successes? Many seem to have confused the highly publicized 'telephone metadata collection is unconstitutional' ruling with PRISM. That was related to other domestic spying bills - section 215 of the Patriot Act and its subsequent renewal under another spying act, the "USA Freedom Act." These cases/acts had nothing to do with PRISM.

Numerous cases have been filed against the NSA in regards to PRISM, with nothing even remotely close to success. They are invariably thrown out because the NSA acting illegally or unconstitutionally can only be challenged by somebody with standing. You only have standing if you can prove you have been surveilled and affected because of such. Nobody can prove standing, so it's impossible to legally challenge a likely illegal program. Great system we have.

...but you can sell calls on that and earn an income on that until a company goes out of business.

...or the buyer of the contract exercises the option. And yes, there's a lot of nuances, there exercise of options being just one of the nuances. That's why "you can essentially guarantee yourself an income" simply isn't true. Starting with the obvious fact that if it were true, everyone would do it.
Markdown is supposed to (be able to) look good as-is. Most people's Markdown doesn't look good as-is, though. They target the GitHub renderer and come from the GitHub-listing-as-a-product-landing-page school of thought, so even project READMEs are generally a mess.
did no one point out that the new logo is looking down a rifled gun barrel - hardly a visual metaphor for education. Maybe they were trying to connect with the globally revered UK institution of James Bond?
Sure, yet, these people will mostly manage to escape. Have no doubt they all have few mils on side and they are ready to lie to themselves all sort of excuses to make them feel better spending them. Sam apparently "miss-labeled" some accounts all in pursuit to give more to charity i am pretty sure.
You seem to be discussing individuality in style choice, while totally ignoring capacity for individuality within the style that is en vogue. Brutalist/minimalist logos with modern san serif fonts don't leave much room to explore for individuality. Meanwhile art nouveau or 80s sci-fi for example had a LOT of overhead for flexing individuality.
I use the cli as well, the clicks above refer to clicking the squash checkbox on a merge request in gitlab. This is 10x faster than hand-crafting an artisanal one to tell a story.
I share your sentiment and have been using aiohttp for five years and pretty happy with it. My current project is a web service with blocking SQL server backend, so I tend to do loop.run_in_executor for every DB.execute statement.
