Mighty had no hope of succeeding. I’ve built something very similar to Mighty, and the fact is that browsers are hogs, and then adding on video transcoding on top of that makes the situation completely untenable. If someone can’t afford a computer good enough to browse the web, they sure as hell can’t afford a computer that can transcode HD video at all times, which is essentially what they’d need to pay for.

In practice, this usually means, "Do they want to mostly give up coding and learn how to sell to corporations?" It's not necessarily a bad thing! Corporations have money and selling to them can be an interesting challenge.

But it's not a thing that happens easily or automatically, unless you have a product which has achieved an extraordinary level of appeal to customers. It's hard work, and it doesn't necessarily leave time to code.
Different meaning of "tracked." This is about static-analysis systems that seek to understand the "provenance" of the files that go into the container-image, so that they can alert you to vulnerabilities in the container's dependencies.

There was no point paying $30 a month _period_. You could get a cheap, refurbished 2014 laptop and it would still be a better value proposition than Mighty. The only potential buyers of this service are SV tech bros, not anyone living in the real life.
The solution is to ban political parties so that people have to be educated on the actual people and issues they vote on. Things like straight ticket voting are an absurd perversion of democracy.

You can't prevent people in the US from ganging up, but there is no reason elections should be required to promote parties or ballots print party next to candidates. Some offices (most judicial races for instance) do not use party affiliation.

George Washington was right when he warned us about political parties.

The institutional investors should have put some people of their collective choosing on the board. These people should have had (non-racy) financial backgrounds.

Ugly business is industrialization. I suppose it's seems to be the most noble application of technology to avoid the techno-horrors of the past in the future.

Ask HN: In mid 40s. What non-tech job can I do?
I worked nonstop for the past 20 years in tech / design space, and wanted a break. I also wanted to spend some time with family.

I'll take at least 6 months off.

But then I'd need to look for a job, but I really don't like the idea of going back to doing the same thing... i.e. web/app design/dev work for larger corporations.

So I'm open to doing something completely different, even if it pays 1/3rd.

Has anyone here made successful transition to field outside technology?

Any advice in general would be appreciated.
It was not a partisan point. Constructing a court majority goes both ways.

But so does constructing an FTC commissioner board majority! Note that commissioners are seven year senate-confirmed presidential appointees. Similar oversight bodies exist for other federal agencies.

This is a useful reminder that such positions are intended (endowed by powers by legislation, in fact) to set rules and govern executive behavior without stuff having to go to the Supreme Court.
Do you not have internal coding standards / guidelines? Ideally this is what a PR process is for - reviewing new code and making sure it adheres to the team’s expectations.

If code is not where you want it to be, reject the PR, leave specific comments about what was done well and what was done poorly, then repeat the cycle until code is where you need it to be.

I don't think it means services+arbitrage doesn't work. They were paying (I assume) cloud VM prices, and had to charge 20-30/month. If they had lower costs and were able to charge $5/month and still make money, we might not be having this conversation right now.

> Analogies always fall apart somewhere under scrutiny.

Yeah but this one falls apart the moment you simply try to figure out what facet is trying to be conveyed. Just say what you fucking mean. The general painkiller > vitamin argument is generally bunk/false dichotomy - therefore you’re not saving any time with the analogy.
This is a really low-effort take.
My next project! Thanks for this!
I am still in the "how can they possibly need that many people" camp and I see those comments alot. E.g. Uber seem to have about as many engineers as taxi companies would have dispatcher telephonists (at least wage adjusted numbers).
At no point did he admit to investing customer deposits in defi or similar schemes without their consent in that interview. FTX’s terms even state that they would never do that.

His actions since Alameda blew up were not rational, even if we assume that he was operating a Ponzi scheme the entire time.

He bailed out as many failed projects as he could and attempted to make investments with funds he did not have after the collapse of his ponzi started.

A ponzi operator who sees their house of cards collapsing is going to look for ways to get more money into the ponzi unencumbered with the hope that they can make back the losses before anyone notices.

They are not going to allocate what precious little capital they still have to investments that do not contribute more capital to the ponzi.

Yet this is exactly what SBF did.

It doesn’t make any sense.

Yet the regulation authorities are considering (that SBF literally authored) does very little to address the root causes of centralized exchange collapse, and is more or less designed to give power to regulators first and protect investors as a distant second.

What is needed are proof of reserves that include both assets and liabilities for centralized exchanges.

Centralized exchanges shouldn’t be able to lock up 100mm USD worth in customer Ethereum deposits for staking, when their exchange allows someone to buy that 100mm USD in ETH and withdraw it from the exchange before they can unlock the ETH and use it to fund the withdrawal without delay. If the exchange is going to allow customers to stake ETH on their exchange, the actual customers' ETH must be staked, and shouldn't be accounted for separately than the staked ETH deposit.

That is the core of the issue with centralized exchanges that play shell games with customer funds. They create financial risk if customer deposits are not backed 1:1 and mirroring the financial decisions of the depositor. Anything less is a ponzi, no matter how much window dressing is applied.

It's worth noting that banks are ponzi schemes, but they can borrow funds at the discount rate at will, and must meet capital requirements, so the damage their ponzi schemes can cause is limited. There is no lender of last resort in crypto. Centralized exchanges cannot behave like banks!
My current side project (neighborhud.app) is an iPhone 6 in every room displaying a HUD (heads up display) of recurring things i need to do in that area, inventory, events, and requests. Iphone 6's are fairly advanced devices that are only ~$35 on ebay. This allows for recycling of tech that would otherwise become trash, because it just renders a webpage that's been added to the home screen (so it looks like an app). This bypasses any app store requirements so as long as it can keep running safari it's still of use. I just leave them plugged in with low screen brightness.

For "inventory", it's just a custom state machine that can be scheduled in the past or future. And requests are things an area needs - which can be associated with an inventory item, or free text. This lets me pull up all requests when I'm at the store and see the kitchen needs apples, and the bathroom needs soap, etc.

Right now, I have a HUD for my front door (to remind me of things before i leave) a HUD for my phone/car (when I'm out) and then one for my kitchen, bathroom and hallway. I have the one in my kitchen magnetically on my fridge, so i can pull it off and take picture of food I'm adding. Will probably add one for my office next.

The difficult thing for me has been being the user more than being the builder and just focusing on the real MVP and then picking at it over time.

Working on cleaning it up and then maybe allowing others to give it a go - i feel like there could be some value in connecting people with spaces.
Issue isn’t that he got billions in investment. He didn’t raise money from public markets so he stole money from the rich who had the means to actually due diligence but never did. Still blows my mind that he was caught playing league of legends on a pitch call and Sequoia still invested money in him. That was a clear view into his maturity level and seriousness. Would you hire someone who was gaming during the interview? If I was an LP, I would be asking a lot of questions and demanding accountability.

The biggest issue is that he stole money from his customers. Not people who had the means to due real diligence.
Curious your take on the American girl who convinced her friend to commit suicide over text message. The jury found her culpable because of those messages, as they evaluated it unlikely that the deceased would have done the act w/o her words.

Ask HN: If you were elon, how would you solve Twitter's current problems?
As far as I can guess, Elon believes that twitter's current crucial problem is the decrease in ads revenue due to the proliferation of extreme speech. Further, he believes that extreme speech is caused in large part by bots.

So he came up with the idea that makes some sense in theory: requiring users to pay for subscriptions. This would solve the problem of bots, and open up a second source of revenue beyond ads. Two birds with one stone.

But the reality, as we all already know, was that blind verification of subscribers led to serious impersonation.

If this approach doesn't work, then as a product manager, if you were Elon, how would you solve twitter's current problems to improve the speech environment and increase revenue?
Ultimately it's a false dichotomy. Tether can be a scam and have enough assets to back each USDT with a dollar. They've had a massive interest free loan for half a decade in a (until recently) huge bull market. You'd have to try really hard for there to be a significant shortfall.

You can have public accountability without crypto. My local government publishes the salary of every employee for instance.

You say that BlockFi was offering unrealistic APYs - I wonder how clear that was as a sign that something fishy was afoot. I actually lost $1.32 due to their closing, which I think reflects how much confidence I had in them as a customer.
And the customers who signed up for FTX did so because the girlfriend of the owner is an top econ professor?

And you think SBF will escape accountability due to his connections? He won't

If you think those connections helped him get VC funding, I can assure you they help a lot of people and most do not become multi billion dollar frauds. The fact that he is an upper class white guy is the important part, the rest is you just reading way too much into this.
IF seems to be one of many techniques to restrict your overall calorie consumption. Each technique is suited to a different person's schedule, personality, vices etc. It's less about the chemistry happening in the body and more about the matching of diet to personality choices.

As for IF while lifting? Depends on your goals.
Problem is that fraud is a comparative advantage. Crypto dot com can do an advertising blitz with their money printer and no defi can match them
Thanks for your feedback. We'll look into this.
Maybe I can help with your confusion: zero percent of the reason I use Plex is for transcoding. It's a wonderful library-management tool with sharing for remote users and clients for every platform.
A normal lens in the 50mm to 85mm range farther away will show your features much less distorted than the typical wide-angle lenses of webcams. Wide-angle lenses close to your face will make your closer features like your nose look bigger. It's basically very ugly.

Doing this is less for the image quality and more for the natural representation of your face.

Precisely.

Strong Params is a canonical violation of DRY. When you build your form, you fill it with fields that are allowed to be filled out and submitted. Then you have to duplicate that work in the controller for no obvious benefit.

As for "more explicit than magic" I prefer to think of this as "automatic" or "conventional" rather than magic. Much of Rails' "magic" is this exact kind of thing, allowing the right thing to automatically happen with the ability to step in or override manually when the convention isn't what you want.

I get why you'd want it to be more explicit. I think that this feature was invented to solve a security problem and the solution was to give devs more work to do. There's no obvious reason why it couldn't be automatically taken care of for the dev and it would definitely make maintenance and legacy app upgrades smoother.

Whoops! I missed this, thanks

And many (most?) of them see declining population as a net benefit for the earths' climate change issues. So at best, they have conflicting motivations.
On that Guardian link: you can switch off allowing Apple to use your Siri input for training:

Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Analytics & Improvements -> Improve Siri and Dictation switch.

It has the explanatory text ‘Help improve Siri and Dictation by allowing Apple to store and review audio of your Siri and Dictation interactions from this device.’ next to it.

I’m pretty sure the initial state of this is set by your response to a specific question about it during phone setup.
This is the correct answer. Professional societies of endocrinology all have been screaming about this for years.

It took too long for this to be listed here on HN. I would wager that the overwhelming majority of the causes of low test aren't even cultural (though this is an interesting and unique causal claim) - they're environmental due to endocrine disruptors being fucking EVERYTHING.

I joke that everytime I microwave my ice cream to make it softer that I increase my future child's chances of being a femboy. It's only a little bit joking...
Well, maybe going all-in in building a "high-value software infrastructure project on [your] own" is not a good idea if you don't have any concrete plans for funding right from the start? Changing the license to a non-FOSS is basically the most knee-jerk reaction you can do in that case. Find a maintainer. Give the project to the community. Become a regular contributor in your own spare time instead of the main (and sole) developer.

There are so many better ways to handle such a situation.

If you replace "building software" with "building a road" (or some other similar real-world infrastructure project), everyone would agree that it's a self-made problem and that there are other ways out rather than just "from tomorrow on this will be a toll-road". You can turn the road over to your city/municipality. Or you could let other take over the maintenance. If the road is useful, there will be others. If it isn't, well, everyone moves on.
> How on earth did he get £16Billion?

He never had $16B. That was just bad reporting.

He owns a large stake of FTX, which turned out to be worth zero, and he owns a large state of Alameda Research, which turned out to be worth zero as well.

He has some other assets, but according to reports, he also has a lot of debt.

His real net worth could easily be negative. That is lower than that homeless guy living under the bridge.
Somehow HN would rather believe that Apple, which paid its engineers millions of dollars to develop Siri APIs to support music app integrations (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sirikit/media), wants to pull a fast one on (checks notes) people with broken screens who use Siri to verbally share songs from Spotify.

The features we are talking about are from iOS 14 (Siri+Spotify) and iOS 15 (Siri+sharing). Apparently everyone here releases version 1.0 of their software with all the low priority feature requests fully implemented.

The simplest solution might be for the Now Playing APIs (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mediaplayer/mpnowp...) to be extended with a "shareable URL" value that Siri can use.

But Apple designers might start thinking, what if you're a Spotify user, but your friend is an Amazon Music user? The Spotify link is as useless to them as an Apple Music link is to you. And so rather than continue down the path of sharing per-service URLs, they might want to step back and revisit this in a future release, and create a solution for sharing metadata that allows playback in the recipient's preferred Music service.

But that starts opening a can of worms of, what if it's not available on your music service, or if you send it to an Android user, etc. etc. It is reasonable they might punt on a fully-formed solution for the first iteration of the sharing feature.
The guys that improved dependency download time by up to 80% at my company (Amazon) sure as hell are enjoying the 3% raise they got like everyone else.

I agree with you that Mold is an order of magnitude faster than the competition (sometimes). However in that case the absolute value is more representative than the relative number. Your linking time going from 10 seconds to 1 or 2 seconds is only a tiny improvement.
If you want to buy crypto for USD, what's the alternative to using an exchange? A lot of people buy crypto by wiring or mailing their money to someone they don't know based on an eBay-like reputation system. Systems like this do exist, but does it make sense to use them when there are reputable exchanges that are easier/safer/cheaper? Especially considering that when you buy crypto on an exchange, you can still transfer it out to a wallet that you control.
