> So, like .com domains?

It might just be me, but I actually do have a slight negative feeling toward .com domains.
For me, the ranking is:

1) .edu

2) .org

3) .net; the regional TLD of the country the website is actually associated with (.fr, .de, …)

4) Domain hacks (.me for a personal site, …); Cutesy, unprofessional, generic TLDs like .space

5) .com; .gov; Tech startup-type stuff (.io, .app)

6) Weird TLDs with an advertising / commercial purpose (.flights, .financial, .ai, …)

7) Spammy TLDs like .ml, .xyz, .biz
"Always measure your safety buffer in the appropriate metric: time."

Distance is the appropriate metric when you want to keep two objects a minimum distance apart.

Your response is only half the equation, then stopping performance comes into play. So while reactions are measured in seconds, you're converting those into distance traveled.

Measuring in following time is just a convenience for eliminating distance estimation biases. That time will also fluctuate based on the road conditions and vehicle performance.

Every time regulation against the porn industry comes up, most of the discussions I have seen are bombarded with 'this is just a push from christian groups to push their views' or something of the link. To me, though, this is the discussion that should dominate. There are very real consequences to this. I know people like there sexy pictures, but the truth is if there isn't regulation of this issue then that girl could very well be abused or a sex slave.
Yes, done well it adds that benefit and if the extension method is universal to the type then proceed ahead with some caution. LINQ is a great example of this.

Where it falls apart is when it turns out that slightly different behavior is needed based on sub-type.

The right thing is to then move past the extension method, but it's more compelling to take the short-term gains of bolting-on more logic into the extension method.
Yes that's pretty much the extent of the reasoning and I don't see what's wrong with that.

Bitcoin on a centralized exchange cannot be traded for goods and services until explicitly withdrawn, unlike most brokerage accounts where cash is cash and many will even give you a debit card so you can spend directly from the account. This strongly decouples bitcoin and most other cryptos from the total money supply.

When you're on Binance and you send them one BTC as a block chain transaction, you are receiving one Binance!BTC that does not exist outside of that walled garden.
Thank you for posting this! I saw this posted on Hackernews a few years ago. I've looked for it since then a few times when wanting to get started on relationship management but could not remember enough about the project to find it via search engine.

If you can figure out how to get the carbon feedstock from the atmosphere at scale, why would anyone bother with refining a mixed muck coming out of the ground? What we call 'petrochemistry' today will be called 'aero-hydro-chemistry' tomorrow.
I'm not asking if misleading people about donations is nefarious (I'd call it "dishonest" personally), I'm asking if you think the causes they donate to are nefarious.

Judging by the deep partisan slant on [2], "extreme environmentalists" could mean literally anything.
I believe the OP is saying that the service to their house is underpowered. Meaning the wire conductors that run from their house aren’t rated for a lot of current.

For example my house is only rated for 120 Amps total, and to upgrade that I would have to contact the electrical company and have them install new wires to my house.
So basically: the GGP's overgeneralization "Vast Majority of People Who Invest Inevitably Lose Money" was wrong, because they lumped all kinds of investments together and failed to make important distinctions.
What is or isn't gender-neutral is quite subjective. Pink lego sets about princesses and ponies may seem quite gendered, but what about a fire truck set? Lego City, Castle and Space each started out in the late 70s. Where those gendered? Perhaps not as overtly gendered as pink princess stuff, but nevertheless I bet they sold more of those sets to boys than girls.

To Lego's credit, they did seem to make a point of putting both girls and boys on their advertisements.
I love the Friends reference behind both product names. I also have been using Obsidian for this (and before that, any generic note taking software).

To me this sort of software is really powerful if you have the time to constantly tend to it. I wish I had this built into my mind.

That article says the endowment is managed by Tides Foundation. I can see how that would make you suspicious given your objection to their other work, but the

> Your donation --> Wikimedia Foundation --> Tides Foundation --> Bad things that only Tides knows about

pipeline you cite seems invented by you and doesn't have anything to do with who is managing the endowment? It's still Wikimedia's endowment.
The issue people have is less what Wikipedia does with the funds donated to them, then how they advertise. If you advert suggests you are about to go under, but in reality you are spending money left right and center on various other charities, with only vaguely related mission statements, then you are taking advantage of the god will of your donators, that is the problem here.

>All large organizations experience waste and spend some money poorly.

Sure and if their advertising was in any way honest about their financial situation people would mind much less.

Personally I would never donate to an organization which repeatedly claims to be at the brink of collapse, while managing very significant amount of funds and investing them into vanity projects. If I wanted to donate money, why wouldn't I donate to anything else?
Sadly not (Omaha and C++).
Why then are professional athletes rarely Nobel prize winners?
I stopped giving money to wikipedia a few years back.
It seemed that as their endownment continued to grow their pleading became more desperate.

This rubs me the wrong way. I want my money to go to wikipedia, with the amount of money they now have my donation will go to side projects. That's not what I want to donate to, and also not what they are advertising in their banner.
An entire TLD dedicated to sites that can only be viewed in a single proprietary player?
I bill per week, but I keep track of my hours to the minute to be fair with my customers. My customers only get the number of days I have been working on an item, the exact number of minutes making a day is my own cooking.

The cooking is that, I can only get 5h to 6h of highly focused work per working day "over the year".

Sometimes, even if I recorded some hours for the customers, when I consider them not well spent, I just remove them from my logs. The goal is always to make my customers happy.

I have been doing it like that for the past 15 years, the customers keep coming, so I suppose it works well.
Existing dealerships would be doing most of the losing. Depending on the tribes' leverage in negotiations (how remote their location is, status of their infrastructure etc) they may or may not receive what you would consider a "fair deal."
Unless the work you're doing provides meaningful output in an hour:

Bill per day, maybe even per week, ideally per % of your focus you're giving your client during the month.

Ultimately, what a client cares about most is whether the output you produced helped them achieve their goals and that you charged a sustainable price for it.

How many minutes you spent doing it is rarely the important factor.
I disagree with the comparison, a business owner firing a rebellious employee is not the same as a dictator putting someone in jail.

Sorry, but what does "ts" stand for?
"Hey! Yeah we actually have a 4 week 'bootcamp' that all our new hires swe go through that covers some of the basics of the technology we use, like (name xyz tech), and how we do sprint planning yada yada. You'll also complete a small project with your 'bootcamp' partners in week 4 before being onboarded to your new team."

That is probably the best that I've seen.

Also at a smaller company something like:

"The first week all new hires go through insert specific industry training so you have a good understanding of the lingo and terminology we use here. This will also help you understand our business better and how your work impacts that. After that you will be paired with a mentor, separate from your actual manager, who can help answer any questions as the get up and running."

Even if all of that is nonsense and a waste of time it shows that a company cares and is trying and thinking about onboarding and training. Most companies are not, or at least are not in any formalized way.
> Three, because one is none if the one guy gets sick, and two is also one if the other is on vacation and thus none.

You are kinda tapping in to why I stopped billing hourly where possible and went to a monthly retainer model. The answer wasn't to give clients more granular tracking - that just made them argue over every 5 minute task - the answer was to find better clients who understood they are paying for my skills not just my time.

> fifteen minutes I go off reading HN, having lunch, or any other short break?

On the other hand, you also have to be fair and realistic if you are spending a lot of time on non-client activities, especially if you are billing hourly. Don't bill the client for your lunch break, bill them for work.

Unreal Engine could probably take over the entire industry if they had a small team dedicated to low-/mid-range games, including 2D games. Improve everything from the developer experience to binary size and runtime performance.

They made a really smart move several years ago in putting everything on GitHub and making it free to get started, but all their tooling is still heavily geared towards AAA (and maybe "AA") development. They've been incredibly successful at taking over that sector, but they're still leaving opportunities on the table.

Companies evolve whatever strategies work best to extract the highest amount of consumer dollars at the lowest cost. I also doubt most of them have specific goals to make their products worse, but brand power, walled gardens, monopolies and cartels let them get away with quite a few tricks that _end up_ making them worse.
One of the biggest issues that have an impact is not having enough budget to cover Cybersecurity. Not having the right protection means that a breach of patient information is inevitable and a foreseeable event. If you're not doing due diligence and putting in the right Cybersecurity budget, CISO's and CMO's could be at risk of negligence in such a case. Cybersecurity Care is as important as patient care.
Notice how solar mppt controllers (or wind turbine controllers with dump load resistors) are lacking a "hydrogen electrolysis" load connector for excess?

Enough trickles make a flood (butterfly effect scaled), but on the same token, its like converting a pretty yard into an edible organic yielding space.

Diversification is now offering a lot more options that do not have toxic byproducts.

Just using excess capacity from solar transforms local hydrogen harvesting into a boost to many local economies (emptied/harvested weekly/monthly/quarterly to power local infra for example using an onsite storage cylinder and scheduling similar to trash pickup).

The sardine can neighborhoods cannot gaudy retrofit any of it, but an energy shed 50ft from a residence with new construction makes the applicable opportunities more than a pipe dream. They have to relocate the fire-hazard solar panels to a ground array anyways for reasonable insurance rates and right-sizing options for expandability as the technology progresses.

From the article:

"His management of FTX is now the subject of an inquiry by federal prosecutors in New York, who have begun contacting possible witnesses, according to a person familiar with the matter. Others associated with FTX have started reaching out to lawyers for potential representation, said several people briefed on the matter. FTX is being represented in the investigations and the bankruptcy by the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell, while lawyers from Paul Weiss are representing Mr. Bankman-Fried.

In the interview, Mr. Bankman-Fried declined to discuss the prospect of prison time."

I think Buffet moves in high end financial and political circles so he probably sees what we don't see. Actually, what I'm thinking is, if China does invade Taiwan, China will make double sure that it does not spur the financial interest group too much, so it will almost surely guarantee the safety of the investment.

Really? I can't imagine working in a shop where a new boss comes in, makes such a public ruckus about everything, practically destroys everything, fires the vast majority of my colleagues, and then acts like a jerk about the whole thing...

What kind of workplaces have you experienced that lead you to believe such conduct is something that "most employees" would not take issue with?
As Twitter is no longer a publicly-traded corporation, it is my understanding that Mr. Musk no longer has any obligation to ensure his statements about the state of the business are truthful. Is that correct?

The best investment I ever made and you could too probably is to setup some ci step and dependabot etc. That's how I constantly monitor my many web, mobile and desktop projects and keep my dependencies update. If a new version of a dependency or framework like say flutter drops, I set aside some time, make a new branch, upgrade and do the same. I practice the same with feature branches, merge as soon as possible so the rebases and merges don't get hairy in a week or two. It's maintenance work but the couple minutes a week or so end up paying off in the long term.

I only ever got to play with BeOS on a Daystar Digital quad-PPC machine I "inherited" from work when it got replaced with more Mac hardware. I've always wanted to pick up an original BeBox, but even in the heyday of "cheap exotic hardware" (NeXT, SGI, etc) that was the mid-to-late 1990s, I never saw one pop up. As such, I am suitably envious (and find myself setting up alerting for my newly re-invigorated search for this grail, while downloading the Haiku .iso to spin up a VM, which, I assure my boss, is a fantastic use of my working hours), and greatly appreciative to have had the opportunity to read this today.

Isle of Dogs is great! Disney+ is hardly the only place you can watch it though, and a lot of the other original Disney programming feels like Marvel-driven padding. The latest Pixar stuff is pretty mediocre relative to what they were making a decade ago, and Disney's modern films are... sketchy.

If you get a kick out of it, then more power to ya. Disney even gives you a place to put your money where your mouth is. For my money though, there's a lot more entertainment value to be found elsewhere.
The person in that article was using SPOT, not a PLB.

Actual PLBs (not SPOT) have a backup strategy in the event the GPS signal is obscured by mountains.

If the device can't get a reliable GPS fix, the satellites will resort to measuring doppler shift as they pass overhead to locate the transmitter. It's slower (takes several passes of the satellite, so we're talking hours) and less accurate, but it will get rescuers to the general direction.

From there, PLB devices also transmit a low-power homing signal on 121.5 MHz (the aviation distress frequency) that SAR teams can locate using radio direction-finding equipment.

Brexit ‘Permanently Damaged’ UK Economy, Michael Saunders Says
Market would be a hell of a lot healthier and better for customers if we'd prevent vertical integration of production and distribution, like we (in the US) did with movie theaters until very recently.
My point is: automation of programming work will be reflected in the state of the job market in terms of less demand for programmers. The current market downturn is giving a glimpse of what that could look and feel like if the net result of automation is fewer jobs all around.

If sophisticated, capable automation of programming comes along during a major downturn it could amplify those effects even more with teams discovering by necessity that new tools mean they just don't need as many people as they used to.

There's no guarantee that something else will come along to replace all the jobs that disappear, at least not immediately. This has happened before and it'll happen again. Look at the rust belt.

Personally I'm hoping to adjust sooner than later, but also feel nervous about the shift.
Go error handling is a bit rough. It's not hard to write the errors but they can derail my mind when I'm reading Go code. They're like walking up stairs where every fourth or fifth step is slightly higher or lower than the rest. If I want to take my mind off of them -- nope! I'm forced by their unrelenting placement to think about them again. Lots of Gophers get used to them though so it's a very subjective thing.

Some other (well known) quirks are:

-- Forced code formatting for everything. If you don't like it you'll probably never like it. It's mostly a problem if you're switching languages often.

-- Lots of little things you'll stumble on that have to be internalized. Loop parameter scope, variable shadowing, randomization of map iteration, the way slices spring to life but maps don't, colon-equals with multiple variables, no unused variables, etc. There are lots of "Go Gotcha" lists around and I believe there's even a book about them. Every language has them but they're especially noticeable in Go because (1) the rest of the language is so easy to pick up that they tend to stick out and (2) they can't be fixed because Go has a backwards compatibility guarantee that no breaking language changed will be introduced.

Anyway, I really enjoy Go. None of this is enough (IMO) to prevent anyone from at least giving it a try and seeing how it suits them.
