Like I mentioned there's other ways for kids to learn about these characters. Until just a few years ago there was both an Avengers animated series, a GOTG animated series, and various other series all targeted at kids. Any kids who watched those shows would know all the Marvel characters without needing to watch any of the MCU films.

Beyond that, many of those things are also collectables, so a lot of that stuff is not _just_ for kids. But kids who know the characters will enjoy them even if they don't specifically know the MCU versions.

> No f-bombs in the films, no blood, no sex, etc

I agree to an extent, but you basically just listed the requirements for a PG-13 movie, not whether a movie is for ages younger than 10. They definitely earn a PG-13 rating, many of them have (sometimes less than subtle) sex jokes, a few have brief sex scenes, they do have some blood and a few gruesome character deaths (for kids), and all of them have a fair amount of swearing (much more than I'd let my young daughter watch). I feel like you've just equated anything that's not R rated as "targeting kids 10 and under", ignoring the middle area that is PG-13.
I am very curious about this mental model of the world. Where do you believe sheep came from? Who, in your mind, invented sheep?

Thanks for sharing the map, that's pretty interesting. I wonder what NASA or their contractors got from Lowe's Home Improvement?

Is there any infrastructure there for the mission? My cynical side wonders if someone flew to Honolulu, went to a hardware store to pick up some JB Weld, and flew it back to Florida just so they could check off Hawaii on the list of states.
Potentially that may have been the content of their discussion.
Anything related to taste and smell is partly subjective, partly intersubjective. The sense of smell varies from person to person due to genetic differences, different learned tastes, partial anosmia, etc. This is also the reason why one like a perfume and another one hates it. The chromatograph can analyze a substance objectively but every nose smells it a bit differently.
It’s a balance between siphoning brain away from the rest of the world and maintaining decent wages. Wages for developers are definitely not low, and that’s the truth.

You're right! Lots of people have tried this before. The main source of failure historically has been regulation.

We took the approach of addressing the elephant in the room first. We spent 3 years to crack the regulation case and we got federal approval to make sure we have the potential to get this market to its full potential.
As someone who ran a wine-tasting group for several years I can tell you this: there are definitely discernible differences between wines. What there is not, however, is any kind of absolute standard for what constitutes a "good" wine. Different people like different things. There are two things that makes wines expensive, and neither of them necessarily correlates with whether a particular wine will taste good to you:

1. Old wines cost more because you have to pay for the storage.

2. Low-production wines that have an affluent following cost more because supply and demand.

And that's it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you if you if you prefer a Gallo Rhine Wine in a box to a Romanee Conti.

That said, there is definitely a skill and an art to being a Sommelier, and that is the ability to take someone's description of what they like and match it to what's on their wine list. There is no such thing as a "good wine" independent of any particular person's tastes (except if you have a wine that has, say, turned to vinegar) but there is definitely such a thing as a good sommelier.
I too would really prefer int & float!

I feel like the bigger argument to make here, is that taste itself is fake.
It's an illusion created by our brain, by taking in all of the various factors and determining whether we should be rewarded by it or not.

We see countless time color has effect on taste, scent has an effect on taste, mood has an effect on taste, expectations have an effect on taste.

Taste therefore isn't this static thing that we seem to think of it as.

You literally have no idea about the immigration policies in other countries. Some countries won't let you become citizens unless it's by blood no matter how long you've lived there (Japan). Many countries will force you to give up your citizenship if you want to get a new citizenship. The US and Canada have the most lenient and generous citizenship policies in the world.

I personally think we should only confer citizenship on people who are in the country legally. There's too many tourist vacationers that come here to give birth to their child, incur hospital fees that they won't pay, and then fly back home. The fact it takes so long for actual good immigrants is terrible policy. My close friend from India who was making over $1 million per year at FAANG has been waiting over a decade for his Green Card. The system is a mess. He is also a proponent of very strong immigration rules because he sees how the rules are being bent and it's utterly unfair for those who follow the rules.

Ask HN: How to gain support for free/open-source contributions within a company?
I am passionate about free and open-source software (FOSS) and am wondering if anyone has had success ramping up any kind of process at their organisation to actively contribute financially to FOSS.

I am asking mostly with my hat as a Senior Developer at a large-ish company in Australia. I also have got a second hat of seeing how Wagtail (a project I actively contribute code to) - https://wagtail.org/ - can better encourage support.

Where I work, I do not have lots of say over big decisions, and essentially no say over financial decisions. However, would like to see how I could best advocate long term for supporting key open-source projects we rely on.

There is the 'support' route but I am trying to side-step that and look to get money given to entities for their ongoing maintenance and to acknowledge the value it provides our company. In my thinking, paid support is a great way for organisations to contribute but not really what I am hoping to solve here.

## Any ideas or any war stories of dead ends or success stories of what has worked?

My current ideas are;

a. A project specific 'kitty' of a budget that can be given each year to projects that help the current project I work on. pre-approved amount maybe linked to the revenue the product generates and then goes through some sign off.

b. A company wide 'grants' like initiative where we get nominations from different teams for projects and these get dispersed annually.

c. Leveraging some sort of 'in kind' donations but as a more formal process. Not contributions or time but rather linked to the services we provide.

## Tough reality

I am unlikely to get this going, it's a tough sell when organisations get this stuff for 'free'.

My biggest selling point is maybe retroactive value recognition (similar to how we give bonuses - sometimes - to staff) or proactive risk mitigation.

Secondary selling points are marketing (we get to promote ourselves to the developers out there and also as a more altruistic brand) and better internal developer community interactions (the nomination process).

Risks that the organisation may push back on are that public knowledge of the tools/libraries we use may expose us, risks of the finance being put into the wrong hands, all the logistics of invoicing.
You're arguing this on a discussion forum that works just fine without identity verification (since it relies on long-term reputation for pseudonymous accounts).
It is disgusting. But I thought that the government was picking up the cost of vaccines? I never once gave them my insurance info for the 4 doses I got, unless they got it some other way. If that is the case, Will uninsured Americans actually see this increase?
I've heard similarly for years, especially from a sommelier. What I've always wondered is if the same holds true for fine teas, whiskeys, and coffees.
The definition and prosecution of insider trading in CFTC regulated markets has a much shorter history than SEC regulated markets, see e.g.:

You're absolutely right - the pure excitement that I felt at the beginning was mainly because I could do all the hacky, simple things. Nowadays you have to write 3 million tests before you can write any real code. I just feel like the red tape involved in doing anything is ridiculous.

I mean, I don't want to completely dismiss testing, but it was a big part of the reason I started moving away from development, and more into the DevOps realm. The other big problem is working for medium/large companies, which require so much administrative overhead to get anything done.
For me also, there had been times I worked several weeks from 7am to 23pm and on weekends. This was no problem. The task was clear, it was possible to do (with much overtime) and it had an clear end. Later in my career, on a different job, different position I almost got a burnout, because I thought I could solve some problems with much work. But the problems there had been endless. So there was no chance ever for me to solve all the problems. I asked my boss for a different position in our company. I just realized later how close I was to a very bad burnout. I guess I had also a bit luck and good people around me.

[Edit] The job, where I almost got a burnout. The job was empty and they asked me for it, because the person before left with a bad burnout. The person now in this job is now also close to a burnout.

Interestingly, as I understand Charles Shaw buys suprlus wine from nice vinyards and blends them to make their offering. So the wine is likely to be totally inconsistent, but probably ok to even occasionally good.

Personally, I think red blends are often better than single wine varietals. They're often perceived as cheaper, but from a taste perspective, I find they're usually more balanced in flavors and more complex as a result.
I got gifted a coffee subscription recently, and I was actually surprised how different each coffee was.

I think almost anyone could tell the difference between different coffees side by side. I just don't think people are super focused on the coffee flavor when they drink their regular brew.

There's a pretty wide range of hostility to outsiders, and the U.S. is not in the bottom half. The U.S. is basically embarrassing compared to...Canada, and maybe some smaller English-speaking countries like Australia, New Zealand, and Iceland. But compared to Russia, or Qatar, or even relatively developed countries like France and Japan, the U.S. is paradise for immigrants.
Yep, there is correlation between my perceived quality and price, et the very cheap end of wine. It gets less pronounced the more expensive it gets so, and above certain threshold it is a lot of branding.

So, I think the biggest problem with all those blind wine tastings is that they equate price with quality. Because those two are, as goes for everything in life, only ever so loosely related.
When my grandparents lived in Croatia in the pre-WW2 years they used to mix a little wine into their water because the water quality was bad. I guess the wine killed the germs, or at least masked the taste of the water.
Just because you don't know how to appreciate well-made things doesn't mean that they're strictly ostentatious.
> I'm not sure why you're mandating across two stock exchanges? If you want to swap two assets in a single transaction, there is a very mature market for this. This has more to do with CPAMM vs. CLOB than it does anything else.

If you want to do arbitrage across two exchanges, it is helpful to have an atomic transaction that's all or nothing across them.

> This has more to do with ETrade than anything else. It's like saying how can I launch a startup and get my product in every Walmart store...well you need their cooperation.

In web3/defi, I can do this without even talking to the defi equivalent of ETrade. It makes it a lot easier to start a startup.
I feel this way, and it's become worse since the pandemic. Video calls and constant interruptions from Slack messages are incredibly draining. "Remote work" used to be a treat: you could work from a coffee shop with minimal interruptions or annoyances while focusing on technical work.
Great idea. When an aggressive man starts hurling verbal abuse at a robot with some female traits, let's antagonize him further with woke rhetoric from the safety of a remote datacenter.

With that sort of reinforcement, his next unfavorable encounter with an actual human female will surely end well.

Does nobody even try to de-escalate situations anymore? The most advanced AI in the world can't slink away quietly, wait until he calms down and try to correct these sorts of behaviors by promoting the idea that he'd slay it in bed, lose weight or grow a monster dong if he read this self-help book (now 20% off!) about treating women with respect? An incorporeal AI with goddamn control of a smart home can't walk through a hostage negotiation playbook to manipulate a violent occupant into submission? Clearly domestic violence is an impossible problem to solve.

It pains me to see people (usually women) encouraging vulnerable women to "stand up for [themselves]" in situations even armed male cops won't approach without backup from other armed men. It's sociopathic-- on par with teenagers encouraging other kids to commit suicide.

Ask HN: Why do you choose the products you choose?
H-1Bs are a form of wage suppression. They claim they can't find workers to work in STEM but what they can't find is workers who are willing to take massive pay cuts.

So, instead, they hold foreigners hostage (in all but the most literal sense) with poor wages and the "promise" of citizenship eventually.

No one wins - except of course the megacorps.

This is correct. Most European countries have much more stringent immigration policies. Switzerland is a great example, where the process is longer and also they checks to see whether an applicant has indeed assimilated well, are a lot better.

Western nations need to adopt more stringent immigration policies and also be much more rigorous in testing how well the applicants have assimilated. Most of the current 1st gen. immigrants hardly make any effort to assimilate.
> It's 23(m^2), not (23m)^2.

23^2 = 529
23m = 75.459ft

75.459^2 = 5,694.1059sqft
5694/250 = ~23

>>>> 250sqft makes 23m2 sound so big.

Because 23m^2 is nearly 23 times bigger than 250sqft.
That's one view of this - I'd say it's pretty cynical though... Reminds me of how people reacted to insurance when it was first being introduced to the broader population "gambling on human lives/death! terrible!!".

While it's true to some extent, insurance is indeed crucial: one of the counter-parties is meaningfully reducing the risk of catastrophe, or extremely detrimental outcome at the very least.

This can be extended to all sorts of events, including Covid, the economy, politics (Brexit had devastating consequences), hurricanes, etc.

I have gotten fairly into coffee but I struggle to independently pick up these subtle notes. I'll take a sip, struggle to put any concrete words on the taste, and then read the tasting notes and (honestly) think "ah of course, yes I definitely get that". But I'm sure it's all just the power of suggestion.

(An exception is some Ethiopian beans which have an unmistakable blueberry aroma and taste that they are famous for.)

I've stopped worrying too much about "advancing" past that level. Now I just buy the coffee, read the notes, enjoy experiencing the sensations that have been placed in my head. Is it "connoisseurship"? Is it a placebo? Who cares, it's fun!
AFAIK US has a visa scheme where you can invest something like $1M and get an investor visa. Pretty common to see immigrants that come to the US and buy up some gas station or other fairly turn-key business to take advantage of this. You don't have to buy a company and then have the company sponsor you if you do it that way AFAIK.

If you have a few hundo' thou' you can get an investor visa that leads toward residency about anywhere, and only a few places like America are more than that.
That doesn't work because possibly[2] the most important single use of uintmax_t is the printf specifier "%ju", ie a ABI boundary.

Ironically, this is actually one of the only[0] legitimate uses for standard[1] PRI* macros, since that could expand to whichever of "%llu", "%w128u", etc, was appropriate to the caller.

0: And I'm not sure "one of" is actually needed.

1: as opposed to nonstandard ones like PRIu_xlib_atom or the like

2: Depending on how you define "single", it competes with (x*(uintmax_t)y)>>UINTPTR_BIT, but that's not actually reliable since uintmax_t isn't (IIRC) guaranteed to be larger than uintptr_t.

Is there any belief system anywhere such that everyone allegedly on the same side believes exactly the same thing? Does atheism propose a univocal description of the universe which all the "unfaithful" agree on?

Do all physicists agree on everything? Do all economists agree on everything? Do all liberals (or all conservatives) agree 100% on every policy? Does a diversity of belief in any other area of life mean that the whole think is bunk, and that nobody is right about anything?

The world is a complicated place, and the truth is hard to find; moreover, even the best of us distort reality because we find the truth uncomfortable. That doesn't mean that there's no truth, or that some answers aren't better that other other answers. This applies as much to religion as to anything else in the world.

As a Former H-1B holder I'm really surprised how few people think about the intention of the program: A temporary worker program to bring highly skilled labor into the country (or allow them to stay longer) (temporarily) as demonstrated by the needs of a specific employer.

Let's not pretend there is some huge injustice here. This is a risk we must take into account as immigrants.

None of us have the automatic right to stay and work here, and that isn't the intention of the program. Immigration is not a right, it is a privilege.
