No one is justifying any behavior, criminal activity is criminal activity and the money needs to be out of politics in general. My comment is only calling out the commenter for making an obviously biased statement without even taking half a second to see if it's even conceivably true.

The argument falls apart because two examples were quick to find? If all you can complain about is that it was too easy to find two examples to counteract the commenters clearly partisan and facetious claim then it sounds like you're grasping at straws.

Please enlighten us on how we should have spent more than 10 seconds to understand that there are actually no republican donors engaged in criminal activity and the commenter was just making a factual statement we obviously don't understand.
Reminds me a bit of my favorite cryptocurrency joke:

"Cryptocurrency is full of scams, money laundering, gambling, and crime!"

"So you're saying it's a real currency?"
This is really going to eat into Garmin's Inreach market (ditto for Spot, Zoleo, etc).

It says free for the first 2 years. I'm curious what the yearly cost will be after that, and how it will compare to an Inreach plan. On an ongoing basis, it's the subscription fees that really add up.
Certainly possible, but the problem is that anxiety is extremely common and can have quite pronounced but generalized symptoms. The saying in medicine is "when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras". Meaning that you should not jump to exotic diagnoses lightly.

Of course it does, it makes it incompatible. If one claim explicitly rejects another claim, then the two claims aren't compatible.

The thread you provide is overly alarmist. Wikipedia giving a few millions to social justice groups isn't "funneling" much first compared to political financing as a whole, and is not "culture war."

I would urge people looking at this thread to think about the idea of "culture war," who is selling and profiteering from making it a front page issue (it's not).
Non-existent unfortunately. Swift hasn't taken off outside of the Apple ecosystem, which is of course heavily client focussed. If you like the look of Swift, but you're writing backend code then I would definitely recommend Rust. It's actually super nice to work with. Not at all like C++.

Other alternatives would be Kotlin, C#, Go, or even Java.

Show HN: Measure CO2 emissions of your APIs
Have you ever wondered about the carbon footprint of your API?

This week, the 27th climate summit takes place in Egypt. This inspired us to draw attention to the emissions produced by our online behaviour.

We introduced some CO2-related features to our API testing tool:

- Calculate carbon emissions of an API call
- Set up a check to validate that your API endpoint doesn't cross the limit when it comes to emissions
- Test all your API endpoints and get an approximate calculation of your API emissions in total

We hope that by using these features, you will become more aware of the carbon footprint of your infrastructure and act accordingly. You could for example switch to a sustainable hosting provider.

Fantastic. One problem I've seen a few times, is the desire to consolidate teams to tackle the flavor-of-the-month project. You have an infrastructure team and an applications team, but somebody up the chain has staked their promotion on getting a big infrastructure project done. How many teams was that again?
Alexa takes "the customer is always right" a little too far:

I'm not a fan of the links to Twitter not because of the recent insanity but because a Twitter discussion is frequently fragmented, paywalled, vacuous, etc. It's usually a rung up from Reddit but that's not saying much.

As for Wikipedia, I regret giving them money in the past because i get endless breathless emails from Jimmy Wales now. I see their situation as tragic because with distributed teams and hiring people who are deeply motivated I'd think they could get dramatically better $ productivity than anybody else if they were willing to transcend their volunteer model and feed some money to Wikipedians to improve the product.

I'm reminded of the social entrepreneur Paul Glover who was the founder of

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

and frequently wrote "poison pills" into the bylaws of organizations he founded to prevent the "skim 90% of the money" situations that frequently cause successful NGOs to become separate from their constituents. For instance any organization he founded had a rule that the organization would never own a building.
It’s really not that big of a deal. You could just triage calls for help and put them in order of priority on who to help first based on how difficult it would be, severity of the situation, and probability of success. The lowest level requests like for some water or a jacket could routinely go unserved.
I'm a search and rescue medic and I volunteer (although not in the States), but would have the exact opposite outlook on this. Better comms may lead to more shouts but it will definitely lead to better outcomes for casualties.

We always prefer calls to come in as early as possible, where maybe an issue can be resolved with advice or a daylight shout to an warm, ambulatory casualty in mild distress. That will always be preferable to a long search for a casualty in possibly deteriorating weather, losing light, without comms, with the prospect of a rescue turning into a recovery.

Mobile phones may have greatly increased the number of SAR shouts worldwide, but also massively reduced shout lengths. Searching used to be the largest time sink in every shout, which is no longer the case.

Every SAR team has frivolous calls, but that's part of the game.

A Collection of SaaS Pricing Pages
Hey All,

As I work with a ton of SaaS founders, I've noticed that there is always a struggle to make your pricing page right. Having great price & pricing ideas is good, but presenting the pricing right is what matters the most.

I was always looking at pricing pages of different SaaS sites for inspiration, ideas, and comparing different pricing pages to see what works & what doesn't.

I have created a gallery of the Best SaaS Pricing Pages & tagged them based on Price Range & Number of Plans. Browse through for inspiration on creating high-converting pricing pages to increase sales for your SaaS.

It’s free for all. There are 300+ SaaS Pricing Pages listed. Would appreciate any feedbacks you may have.
Also, Comment if you have a super cool SaaS & want me to add your SaaS to the list.

I've always heard that legend but instead as the "el camino" which can mean "the walk."
While I'm sympathetic to this position, I can also easily see an argument from the NYT's side that "fraud" is a specific criminal allegation, and as such using it in an article like this could open them up to libel or defamation suits.
Adding on to the other comments, swift on Linux also does not have some frameworks like Combine
The biggest vulnerability in a corporation is that the interests of management and ownership (the shareholders) aren’t aligned.

A common situation repeated over and over is that a manager has the opportunity to take huge risks for a big bonus, yet the worst that can happen is they lose their job.

Case in point, it took a small team at AIG only 6 weeks of selling a financial product to bankrupt the 90-year-old company and contribute to the 2008 crash, ultimately leading to a Fed bailout.
I saw a good chart that explains the issues as teams grow by showing the lines of communication between team members as the size of the team grows.

If you draw a dot for each member of a team and then a line from each dot to each other dot, you can see the "lines of communication".

With 3 members, there are 3 lines of communication (loc)

4 members, 6 loc

6 members, 15 loc

10 members, 45 loc

14 members, 91 loc

Communication breaks down as more people are involved.
Kinda like me driving on Google Maps all the time makes me absolutely helpless without it. You have to be using the skill.

I spent 8 years learning German at school and I don't remember anything. I never attended a single English lesson (not my native language!) and yet I am using it every day.

That's why I do not give any credit to people who finished CS courses. In my opinion -- monumental waste of time. You spent 5 years not really pushing yourself learning one, not even very important subset of skills needed for development. And are completely unprepared to handle the real work.

At least when you study engineering courses those kinda help you prepare for the work ahead (so you know how to design a building safely and can theoretically start doing it on day 1 in your new job -- with supervision). That is not what is happening with people leaving CS courses and joining development teams.
And phones like the CAT s61 [1] are well on their way to add the functionality of Spock's Tricorder into the same package.

I was really wondering what kind of satellite-based emergency SOS they were using -- mostly because I'd never heard of it until it was being shipped in a commercial product, which is something very rare to see.

So basically, they have their own infrastructure for their own proprietary 911 service with global coverage? It's really amazing that we live in a world where we can have such infrastructure, but at the same time, it's owned and controlled by a single corporation.

I notice there's multiple mentions of these satellites working with the "Find My" service, which keeps track of where a device is (in order to find it where it's lost). So I guess all this infrastructure also allows Apple to pinpoint down any user worldwide -- even if they're off-grid.
So I guess Elon ends up winning by instantly showing how much damage he can wreck against big organizations if they don’t pay him huge sums to “advertise” essentially internet anarchy protection money. And I’m sure how bigger companies are paying up they’ll do actual verification before anyone else gets to go out with a blue checkmark claiming to be Eli Lilly…
Oh there definitely are.
From the article:

> A text compression algorithm was also developed to reduce the average size of messages by 300 percent

I don't think that's how percentages work.
my personal view is, it does matter.

the biggest problem with NYT is they bend over backwards to appear neutral and give all sides the benefit of the doubt. it becomes doublespeak and provides cover for bad faith. for instance today's article on SBF - https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/technology/ftx-sam-bankma... . it's an embarrassment to let him call looting client funds 'a margin position' without hard pushback.

but in the NYT they distinguish fact from opinion, and take reasonable steps to verify the stuff they print as fact. so even if they don't discount what SBF says as they should and draw the appropriate conclusions, a critical reader can. (even if it's while they are yelling at the screen)

so they are not going to print something like the Sequoia garbage that is completely one-sided, with technical absurdities and factual inaccuracies (and they will copy-edit properly and trim 14K-word vanity pieces).

people say the NYT is 'biased' but I think that accusation is misguided. Of course they have a point of view (like, democracy and government are usually good). the word 'bias' presumes the existence of some unbiased reference frame like 19th century ether theory. many people who call things 'biased' are just announcing, my own point of view is the one that must be privileged.

the question is not, do they have a point of view, but what is the point of view, is it transparent, do they check facts and distinguish between fact and opinion and dig regardless of who benefits. and the NYT is, despite its infuriating God-like view from nowhere, hard professional journalism.

the crap media is this stuff that has, not just a point of view, but an agenda, bogus facts, one-sided and self-serving, doesn't distinguish between fact and opinion.

and yes, it's important to know that Sequoia and Musk and other people want to control the narrative with wholly-owned crap media like this, and a Twitter zone they control and flood with BS. they want it so bad they hire 'private historians', try to discredit the real journalists, and spend megabucks for their own ecosytem.

Make the most flattering posts about Musk on Twitter, do that for at least a month, guy loves fluffers so chances are he'll notice at least one and will retweet, from there you have a chance at getting in the special club of favorites fans like that guy from India.

It's the same of groupies showing their breasts to band members on stage, the social dynamics are incredibly similar too!
>but that would probably require a larger decoding stage.

The evidence so far points to the opposite.

Existing RISC-V µarch from e.g. Andes and SiFive offer performance that matches or beats the ARM cores they're positioned against, with considerably lower power and significantly smaller area.

And they do already have an answer for most of ARM's own lineup, covering from the smallest cores to the higher performing ones, solely excluding the very newest, highest performance targeting cores, where the gap is already under 2 years.
Certainly, yes. My anxiety around the broad adoption of features like this isn't really the individual calls, because they're likely to be fairly mundane / close to trail heads.

Rather, my concern is with the volume. Lots of "I'm Cold, Please Help" calls could take resources away from rarer but far more resource-intensive "My leg is broken, and I"m 10 miles out" calls.
Growing up during proliferation of mobile devices but in financially-limited circumstances, there are certain things that I’ve relegated to “not for me” because of an imprinted cost.

Getting a smartphone and paying a recurring fee for data (when I was perfectly capable) was still a major point of hesitation for me.

Satellite-based communication devices remains as one of the self-imposed unobtaniums.
What theory are you talking about? are you referring to GME related discussions?
The bigger threat to Garmin is probably just the new GPS. There are probably a lot of folks who will now put off buying their first bike computer for a couple years now that an iPhone with Strava is going to be almost as accurate as an Edge 530 or whatever. Having a real bike computer is still going to be better, but by significantly less than it was a year ago.
Spot and zoleo for sure, not sure about garmin yet. I’ll be keeping mine as you can text people with it outside or an emergency which is super handy. “I’m late don’t worry” or “I’m stuck but ok”
Are you planning to combine it with other info?
Your smartwatch already knows how long you've slept, getting that info directly to your database seems more efficient and less error prone. The same goes for the amount of money you've spend, if your bank allows you to export that info it'll save you a step. Your bank doesn't know what you've bought, only the total cost, time and shop, but if you scan and upload your receipts and use ocr you'll have a detailed record of that too.

And you could also keep track of your location, so you know where you had a conversation or at what gas station you spend 250,000

that is awesome. I wonder if this (it must be) amounts to a hardware or software upgrade on satellites already in orbit, along with updates to the phone's iOS right ? This article just mentions the 'client-side' changes but .. there has to be some accounting of the hardware in space being used right?

Actually, in many places in the United States, SAR calls don't cost you anything.

Usually it's the ambulance / helicopter ride. But even then, there are helicopter operators (like the U.S. military, which responds to many SAR calls where I live) that don't charge.

I still toss wiki a few bucks now and then (even though I hear they are flush with cash and have been for a while) just because I use and enjoy it so frequently (and because I think it's a valuable source of information for everyone, generally), but I too have started giving more to the Internet Archive. Its founder Brewster Kahle is a wonderful person. Some choice excerpts from from his wiki:

"Struck by the immensity of the task being undertaken and achieved: to store and index everything that was on the Web, Kahle states: 'I was standing there, looking at this machine that was the size of five or six Coke machines, and there was an 'aha' moment that said, 'You can do everything.'"

"Knowledge lives in lots of different forms over time," Kahle said in 2011. "First it was in people's memories, then it was in manuscripts, then printed books, then microfilm, CD-ROMs, now on the digital internet. Each one of these generations is very important."

"It's not that expensive. For the cost of 60 miles of highway, we can have a 10 million-book digital library available to a generation that is growing up reading on-screen. Our job is to put the best works of humankind within reach of that generation."
I'm pretty sure "nuevo/a" is "new" in Spanish, not "nova."

If I donate to Wikipedia, I expect that my donation will go to Wikipedia, not to unknown external groups. That's a bait and switch. According to the twitter thread, $22.9 million was given in such grants. That's almost 10x what Wikipedia is paying for hosting. That's not "funneling." That's taking the whole pie.

Without further research, my impression of where that term originated was in drafting contracts: The parts, like confidentiality, that are standardized and a component of most contracts, are the "boilerplate," in contrast with the parts, like a statement of work, that are specific to a particular contract. Did it jump from writing, in general, to legal contract drafting?
Thanks for flagging!
That's a good perspective. Undoubtedly better communication saves time for everyone, and improves outcomes.

I didn't really communicate this well, but my real fear is this: that folks who otherwise might not journey out into somewhat challenging situations because of their lack of confidence in their self-sufficiency might decide to do so because they can "call for help if they need it."

SAR's around the US are experience this in very high volumes.
