If you're trying to make a point, just try to condense it to something simple and direct. The only thing I can extract from this is "I don't like someone looking at me so privacy is a 'natural' right" which isn't a great argument at all. Maybe if you said something about consent or an imbalance of information that would make more sense. Saying something is a 'natural' right is circular logic.
Definitely not the vendor we use at work. If I click the "Help" button, it's basically a line like this for every field:

Ask HN: Why is it so difficult to find online streams for the World Cup?
I've been trying to find ways to stream the World Cup in English and it's a royal PITA. I'm currently in the Caribbeans and none of the streaming service I've tried will let me sign up due to my location. Is there any streaming service that isn't geo-restricted? Why isn't there an (ad-supported) global stream? It's 2022...
Well we do know that [all North American cities] look the same so to that extent you can use a map from a different city to find your way.

I have no choice but to short Tesla stock, no matter how much I like the technology or company. Elon's 30B stake he put up to buy Twitter will have to be sold when the Twitter revenue dries up - and with advertisers and big names leaving that path is inevitable. He really doesn't realize that once you lose market penetration, your done forever no matter how nice you make it. Myspace taught us that. They had a beautiful revamp once upon a time, but it was too late. Facebook ate it's lunch. Same will happen here, only worse.
They did it again

I'm sure that if you make any eye contact during conversation it marks the rise and fall of shared attention even if the correlation is lesser or maybe a lot lesser for you. Unless you're saying you do make eye contact but it's when your attention has lapsed, which I doubt is what you're saying but correct me if wrong!

That said I've personally almost never made eye contact in 42 years of life, but I do look at mouths which nobody has ever noticed isn't eye contact, and I'm sure serves the same purpose. If all you ever do is look away, it would be interesting to hear if you think there are other things that might serve the same "signal shared attention" functionality for you.

I'll also note that autism isn't the only way to be atypical, and sure wouldn't be surprised if eye contact signals shared attention just as much in ADHD folks as in neurotypical folks (but would be very interested in finding out if that's true or not).
uh huh ok

or... it's already the default baseline that everything ever written about any chaotic system from humans to frogs to cells to the weather, is already understood to only ever be expressable in any other terms than percentages, averages, generalizations. All facts or observations are already only some percentage. especially for humans, especially for behavior, especially for behavior in humans. It's frankly ridiculous to mention, like any other truism.

You could add a ridiculous qualifier on practically every other word in any statement on any subject, and that doesn't make them go from false to true, it makes them go from useful to useless.

If its programmed so that the phrase "play my favorite songs" with exactly those words triggers this sequence of calls - yes, that's quite doable.

The difficulty is making to so that "play my favorite songs" along with "play some music I like" or any of the other possible variations do that same thing - that's where it gets difficult... at least quite a bit more difficult on a RPi.

Even beyond that, the "you need to spin up a Plex server locally on your home intranet, create an account on last.fm and enter these values into this application" isn't there yet. Its doable for a person with a moderate home lab and the familiarity with these systems, but its not a product that you can have your elderly relative who is in the range of "not computer literate" to "Ok with using Windows but uncomfortable writing something along the lines of `Get-Date | ConvertTo-Json` in powershell."

Possible? With sufficient knowledge, acceptance of specific incantations rather than intents, and troubleshooting skill - certainly.

On top of which I want literally nothing to do with Max Howell. He's the consummate brogrammer douche. Whined about getting asked to do a code exercise at a google interview, bragging about how he made a project in use by X percent of the company's engineers.

He should go to a few conferences, introduce himself under another name, and bring up brew. I'd guess after half a dozen encounters he'd stop incessantly bragging about being the creator of brew.

Everyone uses brew because they have to, not because they want to.

I'm torn between the brew team being full of insufferable people because they don't know this, and arrogant because they do know it...

Critical Ignoring
Things are going pretty well in other parts of the western world so I dunno if the UK's government should be absolved of their agency so quickly.

From my POV seems like the UK's government is tanking the country by pursuing an idiological agenda that obviously isn't working, and is obviously lowering the standard of living in the country, and yet despite all evidence they continue to double down.

The sad thing we're seeing with Labour is that they're doing the classic thing that happens when parties stay in the wilderness of opposition too long, they start to doubt themselves and instead align with what the government of the day is doing.

Labour under their new leadership is clearly now hoping that if they're timid enough and don't rock the boat at all when the Conservatives inevitably implode they'll be thrust into power because they're sitting there as the next default alternative.

It's sadly terribly uninspiring.
He's right. Blockchain is a solution to a very idiosyncratic and uncommon problem set:

1. You and your counterparty both need to be pseudo-anonymous
2. You and your counterparty can't agree on an existing intermediary (bank, credit card, whatever) to facilitate the transaction
3. You and your counterparty both require the transaction and resulting claim to ownership to be public record.

The pundits doing the "the underlying tech cannot be questioned, so this sad single instance of failure cannot be extrapolated to the ecosystem as a whole" thing are, as Diehl points out, missing the forest for the trees. Couldn't agree more.

Not sure if Starlink was set up this way, but teaching moment:

Before taking a payment on a SPA, everyone please make a separate database transaction that records the user - come back to display the UI for CC collection AFTER. If you try to add the user, run the CC and return in one shot, while attractive from a transactional perspective, it's NOT good if your DB rolls back but the third party CC processing did not.

Then you end up with users that pay, but no record of payment in your DB. Get it right people.

Yes you can at least confirm your own transaction is committed in one shot THEN perform the CC, but separating these two out is still the best bet.
> apart from that: I (and many others nowadays) are OK with considering male to female trans as women. If you want to be a woman and act like a woman, I'll consider you a woman regardless of your biological sex.

I'm fine to let trans men into male spaces around me because that's my decision, as a man, to waive some of my rights temporarily.

But for us to declare that a man can be a woman is giving away women's rights, and that's not okay.

I've always thought saxophone keys were on or off
I recall reading similar complaints written, iirc, c. 1150-1200.

A street that I lived on was considered to have been around 1000 years a 1000 years ago.
It says nothing of the sort. If "neurodivergent" people are going to imagine insults where there are none, that cannot be helped.
From what I understand of playing a saxophone the variability would come from the mouthpiece. On a type of instrument like a saxophone the valves should always be cleanly opened or closed.
Hmmm. Nate Silver got completely suckered by the R operation to flood the zone with RW-biased polls, predicting the "red wave" that never happened. He stated before the election that 'the averages would look more blue if they were based on the long-standing polling orgs', but made no appropriate weighting adjustment. Afterwards, he blamed his failure on the Dems not running a similar bogus operation to bias the averages & narrative. He got pretty roasted on Twitter for both. So no surprise that he would want to avoid the "hall monitor types".
Most of these seem to be an introduction + a list of blog posts. I guess, why not. But it’s not really hard to do <10k with this kind of content.
(Some need to show off under the spotlight, some to operate quietly.)
An instant page is one where a typical user click has the result fully rendered inside 100 milliseconds (almost imperceptible latency).

That's an incredibly hard to reach target. Establishing a secure connection from the browser to a server requires several round trips - 1 for DNS lookup, 1 for TCP handshake, 2 to establish the TLS connection, and 1 for the HTTP request. If you divide your 100ms perf budget equally between them that means your servers can be no more than 1800 miles away from the user using (100ms c) / 2 (for the round trip) / 5 requests*. Using TLS 1.3 removes one round trip which is definitely a good optimization. That's before you've even started any serverside rendering, session handling, db connections, etc.

Even with a really good edge network that's going to be incredibly hard to achieve.

I'd love it if every website served a page in 100ms, but it's never going to happen. I got https://ooer.com down to below 500ms for myself (495ms last time I checked) after a fair bit of effect. Getting any lower would be a waste of time. Users can wait an extra 400ms.
Do you allow your browser to save inputs such as email addresses you put into forms? If yes, maybe you could find where the browser stores this info and check the email address.

As just one data point, I can confirm that they do send a confirmation message when they receive an order. But you probably already have heard this from others. One way to get their attention would be to get your bank to reverse the transfer, if they can possibly do that, which they might, given the circumstances. Of course that risks resetting your timeline.

Also check your deleted emails folder (since you didn't mention this). BTW three weeks is not a long time when it comes to waiting for Starlink. I waited a year.
I have taken a plane less than 10 times in my whole life (I'm 35) and that'll stay like that for the rest, I already declined travels for work. My CO2 impact is around 400kg/year, so just 2 flights would double it. The average person CO2 impact in my country is around 9tonnes/year
I don’t know what’s the gender ratio on dating apps in the western world but here in India - it’s too skewed; so as a man, getting the number usually means you’re among the 2-3 in the WhatsApp inbox at a time.

Inside the dating app messenger? No idea — her right sweep will mostly result in a match so you’re competing for attention with potentially a huge number of people depending upon how much that person right sweeps. (PS. I am not kidding — this could be true even for female profiles with zero pictures, zero details :D).

So it’s a way of getting filtered up.
Absolutely. Sometimes you get a comment thread where some specialists add way more than “average” commenters could actually add. I like it because it gives insights in difficult subjects!
What would you do with a number of giga tons in a vacuum? I can't picture what a giga is, nor a ton of CO2. You probably cannot either.

What matters is how much it represents in relation with our total emissions (2%) or with other activities we also have to tackle to decide where to put our efforts first. (Or all at once whenever possible)

Therefore, I maintain what I say. 2% of the pie doesn't represent that much if we want to achieve net zero. But at some point we will have to tackle it.
Where is this mentioned? I was getting all excited reading the README file of tea until I saw this comment. Thank you!

The reality is that Elon hasn't changed much over the past 20 years. I was never under the impression that he was an easy person to work for.

What has changed is that in 2016 the NYT wrote articles comparing him to Iron Man[1], and in 2022 they are saying he is incompetent[2].

1. Elon Musk served as a real-life role model for Tony Stark, the superhero in the “Iron Man” movies. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/07/25/business/elon...
2. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/10/opinion/elon-musk-twitter...

Names like Skylake and Cannon Lake are just codenames for the architecture. AMD does the same thing with Matisse, Rome, Vermeer, Milan, etc. I actually find AMD naming mildly confusing Zen 3 Ryzen 5 5600x (Vermeer).

The actual break down is quite simple and described on their website: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor...

tldr; Intel processors are numbered like 13900K (13th gen) the first 1-2 digits are the generation. So 9800 is 9th gen 10850K is 10th gen.
>Single common thread has to be poor governance.

I think a structural issue is aging demographics. Lots of welfare policies were enacted when the ratio of workers to non workers was much higher. For decades now, this ratio has been getting smaller and smaller, hence the constant political dilemma of which benefits to cut and how much and for who.

The UK seems like it will especially struggle with delivering universal healthcare promises, as well as pension benefits. Not only are fault lines along rich and poor, but they will be more and more along old and young.
I remember watching Terminator ... it all seemed very far-fetched. By now, a good part of that gulf between reality and dystopian fantasy has been bridged.
In the last few years this strain of neo-libertarianism has become rather distinguishable. It's a weird cocktail of shamelessness, anti-any-government, "nothing matters", "money is power", crypto and web3 scammers and anarchists.

The ultra-rich like Musk fit right in because "small government and no regulation" movement plays right into their hands. In murky waters where everyone is off your case, you can grab even more money and power.

Recall that Musk expressed a very clear distaste for Cheetoh Jesus in the early days but, like many before him, the black hole that is Trump pulled in the "star" and then ripped it apart. He got a taste of that world and he liked it. Being horrible and owning it is sort of freeing (for someone who can afford it).
You don’t need a flashy site if you already have the reputation. But without other signals an old simple site will be interpreted by many as an indicator of something amateurish or outdated.

> I have no choice but to short Tesla stock

How do you short a private company?
Umm, yeah… I think you got the website ticked off.
Seriously awesome shit. Did you have it in mind more or less like this, or were there a couple of evolutions along the way?
Is it a private tool or is it publicly available?
> Why isn't there an (ad-supported) global stream?

Because then companies would pay less for exclusive broadcast rights and FIFA primarily cares about money?
Germany’s economy is diverse, and their political system is robust. These two things are not unrelated.

They are a bit bureaucratic for sure.
Unfortunately, the latter one, I agree.
I initially entered the US on an L1 visa. Somewhere along the way I met my wife and we got married, so my I-485 was a family-based petition. I used the same lawyer (privately) that my company used for the L1 petition to file I-485, I-130, I-765 and I-131 concurrently.

I-765 was approved for me after 32 days, the day after I went to give my biometrics. This was important for me because the new legal team at my company were dropping the ball quite a lot with my L1 extension at the time (it was later approved with 1 day to spare...)

Although I got the I-765 card, the I-131 petition has not even been looked at yet, so although I applied for Advanced Parole, in practice the petition will just be cancelled/voided because the green card will have been issued before the I-131 has a chance to be adjudicated.

This seems to be in line with a recent change in USCIS policy to prefer producing individual I-765 and I-131 cards vs. the previous preference to issue combo cards (which took longer).

The I-485 and I-130 petitions were approved on the same day after 154 days of processing time, and surprisingly my wife and I were not called for an interview.

Hope this helps!
It is definitely a bold vision that, like his other ventures everyone will say can’t be done.
Assuming Binance will put this on their BNB chain, yikes.

BNB is filled with more trash, spam, and scams than even other chains. Most people in the space don’t even want anything to do with it - which is really saying something.
so i was expecting to really dunk on tea here, but came out pleasantly surprised after exploring this a bit more.

i definitely like a lot of what Max and his team are trying to do here

(Absolutely LOVE the idea of specifying dependencies in front matter, no matter the language, and having tea be smart enough to fetch them and then execute your script, though one concern I can see happening are really really long front matter that should really be in Makefiles. that's an edge case though).

i disagree with some of his ideologies (I DEFINITELY don't think Docker sucks for development, for example), but that's minor (as in we can probably amicably argue over Docker sucking or not sucking over a Guinness, but I won't discredit the man over it)

I think using a blockchain for authenticity and package supply chains is really interesting. Probably one of the best use cases for this technology IMO. I actually came into this comment hot to talk down this project based on that alone, but after skimming the whitepaper [1], their ideas make a lot of sense.

I have LONG been needing to completely overhaul my dotfiles. I've used dotfiles to install and set up my computer for 13 years, but they are getting heavy and clumsy as of late. It doesn't help that most of the stuff in my dotfiles assumes a Mac environment (most of the installation logic assumes Homebrew), which is de-facto lock in. I've been looking for something more elegant to replace these with. I'll give Tea a try.

(I was also going to shit on this being written in TypeScript and requiring Node, but it is actually self-contained, which I really like. I was also going to compare it to Nix, but Nix is in C++, which is a huge bummer for mere humans like me who are trying to move AWAY from pointers and memory management issues lol.)

my biggest concern is speculation. given that the entire point of steeping these tokens is to reward active package contributors, i'm concerned about the junk that their chain will get full of when people decide to auto-generate packages to mint as much as possible after the tea token hits like USD$100 each or whatever. it's also unclear to me whether package maintainers get awarded tokens for each version of a package they upload onto the chain.

Yeah! By the end of my time on the team, checking the news when I saw a rapid change in traffic was second nature. And later on in my career becoming interested in markets, even more so. Forex in particular - markets with trillions in daily liquidity don't take huge leaps unless something huge happened.
I see that as mainly a social problem, not a technical one.

I've noticed that a lot of crypto enthusiasts tend to reach for technical solutions without understanding the social causes of the problem in the first place
I recommend Lambda as an easy way to create ephemeral Firecracker VMs and set overall limits on host + guest. For casual use, the memory and CPU limits available in the library should be enough.
> IQ is effectively just a measure of test-taking skills.

Omg, no.

Good test taking skills will help someone score close to their theoretical maximum, but you can’t just train someone in test-taking skills and expect them to score at the top of the scale.

I’ve trained people on test-taking skills to great effect, but there is a limit (often significant) on how much these skills can improve a score.
No religious flamewar, please. It's particularly nasty but also easily avoidable - like scurvy, or something.
