Maybe because it might cause psychological issues for people who can't easily connect online and corporations are pricks. I agree that choice would be good thing, but I'm not sure about advertising one as superior to the other.

I’ve come to the realization that the things I want to buy, usually don’t get discounts during holiday sales. Maybe like 3% off sometimes, but never mouthwatering deals.

Everybody around me has some deals to be excited about. Not me. I looked through my wish list, no red marks, no discounts, one of them is actually more expensive now. I’m on a forgotten island in the world of capitalistic celebration.
> But if you try $100 bottles, you're much more likely to accidentally discover something new

You would get the same effect with $5 bottles, wouldn't you?
It was hard for me too. I remember spending hours drawing immense maps... on the other hand a gifted friend of mind had no problem finding his way through the mazes.
My only wish is that UUIDs were sortable and still contained their timestamp. When bug hunting, sometimes things become a little more obvious when there is an exact start and end to ids with issues.
Yes, some individuals out of the dozens who have read your comment chose to downvote. Just as other chose not to vote at all. Some may have even upvoted. Doesn’t that kind of prove HN is not a cult? The group is comprised of individual members all acting independently.
No offense but thank you for demonstrating this issue perfectly.

You instantly assume that I am talking about social issues that I do not agree with or that do not affect me and feel personally attacked.

It's quite the opposite, though. I most often agree with the messages people put in their documentation. Some of them even have a very deep personal meaning for me.

Yet, I stand by my point that a technical documentation or standard is no place for them. You, I or nobody has any right to force someone who is trying to build software to listen to your/my/their personal beliefs and political opinions.
It is great that people are concerned about UUID entropy, because some implementations actually got much less than ~120 bits.

However, I think article missed the point that you shouldn’t use UUIDs as a security measure anyway.
I voted for biden being assured this was all just russian misinformation. I was also not told about Biden's statement to eliminate the fossil fuel industry.
> The tragic blast killed two locals, marking the first time that the war in Ukraine bled over into NATO territory.

Except the other times it did. They should source their articles better.
I can identify - I left one of my sites (a 20-year old sports forum) ignored while I went overseas for the last ten weeks, and received a few emails towards the end asking if I was OK.
Another advantage of UUIDs is that they're more or less monotonically increasing over a medium-to-long time periods. This is very helpful for database insert performance.
Damn - I was H1B and even I’m appalled

But everything checks out to what I saw: throw every qualification or certification into the job ad, no one could seriously match it
So what if they do? You’ll get a nice severance and be able to hunt for a job full-time.
> Teacher's have disgraced themselves…

I'd like to see privacy built in as well.

ISPs and origins could monitor total requests, but not allocate those to individuals.

Another option might be for a Neilsen-type monitoring of specifically-included and participating randomly-selected households. The great thing about random sampling being, of course, that an overall view of population behaviours can be inferred from a much smaller view.

The "stat" in "statistics" comes from "state", as in "seeing like a state".

Calendar integration looks nice; if I ever become a freelancer this is exactly the sort of thing I'll be reaching for. Sadly, many of us are stuck with Outlook - so won't be able to use this app to its full potential.
A joke in the UK is that the unofficial slogan of Pepsi is 'yeah fine whatever mate' because when you order Coca-Cola in a pub and they (for some reason) stock Pepsi instead they always have to ask 'is Pepsi ok?'.
It's bad for civilization for everyone to have far-field microphones in their residences. With cell phones, the microphones are a problem but the upside is compelling enough to put in the effort of mitigating some of the risk and accept the rest. With Alexa/Google Home/etc, on the other hand, the upside isn't there. The state of cybersecurity is simply not good enough for a company to credibly promise that it only listens after a wakeword.

Not only won't I allow Alexa or its competitors into my home, if I visit someone and see that they have it, I'll tell them that's a faux pas. I suspect many others do the same.
Some managers like to assign projects to people.
It makes it easier to understand who does what, and whom you should see

but when they don't have new requests for you, they won't always create them out of thin air (they are busy, and you know the app better than them anyway)

Propose !
You can use your knowledge of these projects to refactor code, or improve them ! Improve the code ! Improve CI/CD !

You can also have a conversation with your manager, to ask him for what will come next.

Also, don't worry about some large companies. They have solid finances, and HR don't care if some employees spend a few weeks, sometimes months, without a lot of work. They will assign them to new tasks as needed.
Not all UUID versions are monotonically increasing. This article is specifically talking about V4 UUIDs which contain random values only.
The nice thing about the party is that everyone is in on the joke and they are in it together. They know from the beginning that there are going to be surprises and much of the conversation is around this. The host can avoid an advantage by putting the bottles into blank bags then getting someone else to apply the numbers.

That is incredibly funny.
The article is beyond naive and simple in its opinions.

Not only your point, but layer on the fact that by appearing to take it so seriously yet assessing thoroughly before taking actions, it heavily heavily dissuades any actual attack which would actually risk rapid escalation.
Unfortunately this one seems polarizing. I loved it from the first scene, but there seem to be more than a few people who find it slow and boring to start, and don't come around to it.

Twitter distributed Manhattan DB talk – 2020
I saw Manhattan referenced in the Twitter architectural diagram, found this talk on on it.
The problem here is that all of these tools are really unintuitive to use because you can't just discover them on your own, or I wouldn't have thought to make Clipboard. You also have to use stdin/stdout/redirection which is a huge pain if you just want to specify some random file. I also can't figure out how to use xclip. If even I on Hacker News can't figure it out, new users to the terminal never will. Also, none of these tools offer cutting.
That’s the patient choosing not to go to the doctor - how is that the ICU doctor’s responsibility? Are they meant to scour the streets looking for people who need intensive care?
I'm not sure which of these is worse:

* (Awareness) Europeans who didn't realize that Qatar is a muslim country that doesn't allow LGBT advertising

* (Asymmetry) Europeans who knew about Qatar's values, but didn't think Qatar would enforce them with the same vigor as Europeans enforce their values

* (Naïveté) Europeans thinking that the reason they could impose their values on these types of international events in the past was something other than money

What is happening is that as the West declines in relative economic dominance, other societies become more important on the international stage, and their moral codes must be accommodated. Europeans are finding out that the shoe is now on the other foot in terms of who must accommodate whom, and they are shocked by the discomfort.

One of the things I've spent time helping other engineering managers understand is that burnout doesn't relate only to exhaustion.

Instead, as the Maslach Burnout Inventory points out, it tends to be a three-factored issue. The MBI is a tool widely used in research studies to assess burnout, and it measures three scales:

1) *Exhaustion* measures feelings of being overextended and exhausted by one's work.

2) *Cynicism* measures an indifference or a distant attitude towards your work.

3) *Professional Efficacy* measures satisfaction with past and present accomplishments, and it explicitly assesses an individual's expectations of continued effectiveness at work.

So you can absolutely be experiencing burnout even if you're not experiencing exhaustion, if the other two scales are tipped hard enough.

Among the questions that help measure Cynicism and Professional Efficacy:

* I really don't care what happens to some of my colleagues/clients.

* I have the impression that some of my colleagues/clients make me responsible for their problems.

* I have achieved many rewarding objectives in my work

For more details about the MBI, check out https://hbr.org/2021/03/how-to-measure-burnout-accurately-an...
Having rooftop mounted GNSS receive antennas for GPS+GLONASS is extremely common in telecom and ISP infrastructure applications. It's sort of a belt and suspenders approach to obtaining time from low stratum NTP sources and also having a local GNSS timing source to reference from.

Or for use in a case where the network has a total absence of connectivity to any internet-based NTP sources (maybe because your management network doesn't talk to the internet at all, for many good reasons), and in the event of loss of transport connectivity to your own somewhere-in-the-region NTP servers in your management system, you want to be absolutely sure the system clocks on your local radio transport equipment, DWDM equipment, metro ethernet stuff are all precise.

Using receive-only GPS data as a master time reference source is effectively saying "we think that getting the time as it's set by the USAF/Space Force people at Schriever AFB, who run the GPS system, should be treated as our master point of reference and all other clocks should derive from that". It's not a bad policy, as such things go, because GPS maintaining extremely accurate time is of great interest to the US federal government as a whole.

Even a fairly small LTE cellular rooftop site, monopole or tower often has a similar receiver. It doesn't add a lot of cost.

There are a vast number of use cases here. A simple one is the peak mortgage rate market[1]. That allows you to create hedges against movement on variable rate homeloans directly.

There's a number of unemployment-related markets that allow you to create insurance for yourself against unemployment.

And these are just things I've thought up of in a couple of minutes, not even considering what actual financial markets might want to use them for.

You know how some people are "40 years with the same company" kind of people? I'm that with the place I live. Over the last 40 years, I've managed to have a strangely broad and deep career, ranging from being an oceanography marine technician to a game developer. Sure, it's not the life of FAANG with golden perks, but maybe that's not what life's all about in high tech?

There was a weird period about a decade ago when a business person was able to more or less take over Arduino leadership and pushed out the old founders. It was a split between arduino.org vs arduino.cc and each had their own boards. It was a mess for makers and uses to figure out but it's been long resolved, and last I saw Arduino was bought by ARM so likely has a lot more stability and less drama.

A long time ago, I was on one of my first business trips with an older colleague. We were staying at a rather nice hotel, and it had a really nice bar with an extensive collection of liquor. We noticed some bottles that looked really old, and looked through the huge wine/liquor menu to find them. What we found was they were Armagnac, and the oldest bottle was from the 1800s and it was $350 a glass. Coincidentally our rooms cost $350 a night.

What if, we thought, we each bought a glass, and made sure that was our only purchase at the bar, and put that on our room account. We could fudge the dates, and put an extra day stay. My colleague said he knew the payroll woman and this probably would work.

First problem though, we had no idea what Armagnac tasted like, how could we tell if it was good if we had never tried it before? At this time the bartender came by and asked what we wanted. We thought, lets order a 'good' one and pay cash, then we order the fancy one for the room. So we asked him for a 'good one'. He poured us one and showed us the bottle, then left.

We looked into the book for it, and found it was $40 a glass. Well whisky was around $4, and Jack was like $5, for comparison. That was fairly pricey at the time for our own cash, we weren't that well paid, but we did say a good one. We smelled and tasted it. It smelled good, and it was so smooth. We savored it.

The bartender came back, asked, "How is it?". We said, "Its really good, but... $40 a glass? I know we said a good one but ...". Bartender stood back, "I would never do that to you sirs!". Punched the drink into the computer, it was $4, same as well drinks.

Honestly, the next sip I took was harsh, and had a bad aftertaste. It completely changed just knowing it was the same price as the cheapest swill you could get. Now the bartender could have given us a discount, but what it meant for us was that the $350 one was a waste of effort. We would have no idea if it was good or not.

I'm aware than Carbon and Hydrogen are different things, thanks. I never claimed that this was the entire formula or the only byproduct of it. So don't overthink.

Well, I could be wrong or mixing things. I studied extensively the entire plant metabolism many years ago and I don't remember by heart all the hairy details but I remember that plants released water in the Calvin cycle and also in the respiration, If I'm not wrong. So some water is consumed by day, then this water is recycled by night and some water is released also 24 hours a day in a different cycle.

This is probably not the place to show the full chemical horror, but feel free to copy it here and do the math for me if you want.

Steve Jobs in a university lecture in 1991 (iirc) articulated the vision among him and his industry contemporaries of consumers using thin clients accessing data from the cloud, a reality that took two decades to really come to fruition and that had to wait for infrastructure to catch up - the point being that while some people didn’t see the value of the internet, people in the know were able to simply and quickly articulate beneficial use cases.

I hear what you're saying, but I feel there is an assumption made by your counter-argument which insinuates that the CFTC is a functional and non-corrupt organization. My perspective, based on my research, seems to suggest otherwise.

Unfortunately, this seems to be endemic of American politics and government organizations.

In Kalshi's case, Brian Quintenz aside, let's talk about Jeff Bandman, who spent close to 3 years at the CFTC.[1] Well, after doing so, he became a regulatory strategy advisor for Kalshi.

Here I quote a Bloomberg article[2] on Kalshi from earlier this year:

"Eventually they tracked down a former CFTC official, Jeff Bandman, who assured them the landscape was changing; he agreed to help them navigate the agency and its characters."

So yeah, I'll concede that there are a few un-generous assumptions that need to be made to fully paint Kalshi as a bad actor in this situation, but given the various pieces of context available, I don't feel it's an overstep to call behavior like this out.

Ultimately Kalshi is set to be a unicorn startup, and I wish the founders success in their endeavors—they appear to be exceptionally bright and hard working individuals—but what appears to have transpired for them to have their shot doesn't sit right with me.
