Unfortunately that doesn't quite work with out-of-the-box Mastodon.

I'm running a bit of a proxy at https://simonwillison.net/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acc... but it still needs to point to my own dedicated instance, just because Mastodon can't have multiple domains pointed at a single instance of the software yet.

I'm using this pattern (also shared by Andrew, before he started to spin up Takahē) https://aeracode.org/2022/11/01/fediverse-custom-domains/
I don't think I'm ever going to actually use Arch, but I do have to admit the documentation is amazing and they have basically become the maintainers of Linux documentation in general.
> Only OpenBSD has a track record anything like going since ~1996 with only 2 remotely exploitable security bugs in the default installation.

That stat is a bit meaningless, simply because most other OSes ship a default install that tries to do much more than OpenBSD does by default. They've downplayed it a lot over the years.

> vs. some convenience if needed features are missing

That "some", for everyday application developers, is surprisingly big. Last time I tried, anything related to Rust was a nope. Tons of tools just fail to compile (because "GNU is bad" or something). It reminded me of late-90s Linux, except there the community would jump at the chance to fix issues - whereas OpenBSD folks tend to just shrug (or even berate you).
This space is moving so fast, it truly is hard to keep up. I'll let you know how my model turns out.

An example of poor google integration that bugs me from time to time - when you search for a geographic feature, the info panel shows a great preview map with the outline of the feature. E.g. https://www.google.com/search?q=rhine+river

If you click into google maps, the outline is gone. Searching "Rhine River" just puts a marker at one point along the river.
Sounds like you're taking a realistic stance here, so I won't tear you to shreds. Like you said, Apple's hardware is improving objectively so it's not a terrible thing. For years though, I've been more bothered by gimped software than gimped hardware.

Guess that means I shouldn't be in the Apple ecosystem, which is fine by me I suppose.

I would bet none. This looks like an illegal transfer of control. If shown, that gives us the thread with which to finally topple Tether.
Except it is always a magnitude easier to register a new account than to hunt down for an existing one. Conversion is way too low.

> Accounts with bad passwords get compromised, spam, then banned

Just like any other account with a proper good password (10 char, 3/4? Certain e-gov site recently forced me for a 12-char, 4/4 without any 3 chars of the sitename in a row) on a proper good one-time/one-use email address... which was compromised by a malware running on the user's machine. Forcing a stupid password policies only increases the friction for a new (and sometimes existing) users, while not providing a meaningful increase in 'non-compromising'.
Because many engineers are being paid upwards of $200k to work at one of the largest social media companies. On top of that, the economy in general is uncertain right now, with many other similar tech companies not hiring as aggressively as before. Layoffs were heavy handed, but this was a company that has been historically not profitable. Those that remain are being asked to show up in person and provide proof that their work adds value to the company. I understand why some would leave, but I can’t fathom how you absolutely cannot understand the reasons many are choosing to stay.
> The wealthiest 10% own almost 90% of stocks.

Source? Whenever I spot check this, the majority of individual company stocks are owned by index and mutual funds, and there’s no clear way to break down who holds those funds.
I’m part of the I’m sure infinitesimal and ever-shrinking portion of Amazon’s userbase who actually try to use the site to buy rare and used books. Most annoying for my experience is that they recently replaced what was in fact a best-in-class recommendation engine, which lead to a lot of my purchases, with a totally useless ad bar that displays universally terrible “related” books. There’s a world where after effectively cornering the world book market they subsequently destroy it (and they of course own and have effectively feature frozen competitors such as abebooks and bookdespository).
I'm sorry I misinterpreted you, and have unbanned you now.

Please make sure you're up on the rules at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to them from now on. I believe you that you didn't intend your comment the way I took it, but it's not surprising that I (and others) would have misinterpreted it, given that (1) it was an edgy one-liner on a divisive topic in a flamewar thread and (2) your account's history of breaking the site guidelines leads one to certain priors. If you start being scrupulous about staying within the guidelines and posting substantive comments, such misinterpretations will be far less likely.

When it comes to internet comments, it's important to realize that your intent doesn't communicate itself—you have to encode it in your message. Otherwise readers will fill in the blanks with their own version of your intent. No doubt there will be a broad spectrum of different interpretations, but when thousands of readers are looking at your posts, the extreme ends of that spectrum are bound to be represented. In other words, by statistics alone, some people are going to assume that you meant something shocking, and they will be the ones most likely to reply. This is how we end up with the sort of misunderstanding that shocks the original commenter ("What a huge assumption and massive misinterpretation by you. Holy hell.")

I'm not telling you this to reargue the current case but to make a general point for the future: the burden is on you as a commenter to disambiguate your intent (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). If you apply that principle in the future, then at least this sort of misunderstanding will be mitigated.
Most Linux distros next to OpenBSD don't measure up well in any area except bleeding-edge hardware and software support. For routers and other network appliances, very often only the base system is needed, no packages or anything extra to install. OpenBSD's userland tools are excellent - configuration files and control interfaces are almost all in a standard format, documentation is excellent, and everything has obviously been designed with care. Stability isn't even a question. Bluetooth, Nvidia, support for most proprietary or highly specialized software are missing, but otherwise it makes a fine desktop/laptop OS.
Mac/Linux users who loved the C64 would love a native version for their systems too, but would settle for a web app.
> the AUR is awesome and has everything you'll ever need

But what if I need packages created and maintained by vetted, qualified devs rather than the unvetted randos that upload PGBUILDs to the AUR? Many of the AUR contributors I've looked into have no publicly-accessible real names, no personal websites, no LinkedIn accounts, and their GitHub accounts are only a couple years old with Japanese cartoon characters as their account photos.
If it were a computer simulation, there would be bugs, crashes, glitches, and other imperfections. External intrusions into the perceived reality (Alien UFOs are actually sysadmins running tests, etc.).
But the question, then, is: is there reality behind the model (or, rather, how close to reality the model is)? The answer lies in how accurate the model is. This is all we can know in this regard.
And apparently Intel Macs also! I had no idea!
> Your text is already faded enough that you must be clear that a lot of folks don't agree with your sentiment here

Funnily enough, so is yours.

What I highlighted pointed towards government becoming increasingly overbearing and ramping up surveillance on its citizens(NSA and patriot act), military extremism(patriot act again and the middle east), paternalism over other cultures(fear that the people would choose the "wrong"side in a country they invaded as an excuse to keep troops or to install proxy governments), and the list goes on.

You're at a point that covering true stories like the hunter biden laptop(that now journalists are verifying its authenticity) have made people like glenn greenwald persona non-grata in mainstream journalism circles, while having the intelligence agencies saying it is false. You have people that risked and are paying with their life to make information known to the public demonized because apparently leaking things about the candidate I like is bad, regardless of it being true. You have people asking for oversight for the contributions to Ukraine being labelled as russian assets(ie:enemy of our great state). You have intelligence agencies being labelled as some all knowing benevolent protectors of the populace not even a decade after the NSA leaks. The only thing that could be disguising it is because as it stands mostly the democrats seem to be on this publically, but make no mistake the moment push comes to shove the republicans will also take such position as they had taken before trump, and with thunderous applause from the "bipartisan" population if the current outlook is something to go by.

Fascism has been acting on the american society for a long time, Trump just coincidentally showed where the allegiances lied once someone that wasn't a career politician took over, luckily for them the man was an incompetent buffoon with his own laundry list of problems who got assimilated into the machine very fast, even if he would say otherwise.

If all of this for you isn't clear signs of fascism and instead trump, who mostly just inherited the actions of his predecessors is(making him just as much as the others I might add), we'll just agree to disagree and leave it at that.
I still can't believe we don't have an explanation of why they can't match Samsung and TSMC in node size despite all 3 using ASML machines to do the lithography.

Outside of the lithography machines which are all the same what is Intel doing wrong in terms of industrial process? Is it the pellicle which I know does vary by manufacturer? Why haven't they adapted by now?
Because you get to work directly with one of the most productive and (technically) creative people in history? Alive right now, dining with you and reviewing your code? Plus you get to work on one of the most important platforms for world politics.

At work we have these time strings, e.g. “2 min ago”. We show a tooltip when the user hovers over them. We can defer the initialization of the “show-tooltip” logic because surely those tooltips are less important than other things on the page. Same with links to user profiles.
Of course they are, when you or I steal 1000$ we go to prison, when a Bankman steals billions of dollars they make a series to tell you how it was a mistake and he only had good intentions and the fact he donated tens of millions to the president's campaign and even donated to those investigating him right now, is purely a coincidence and has nothing to do with him not going to prison.
What does it take to leave such a mindset behind?
There was this submission 3 days ago:

It is the same cost for all excessively industrialized foods. It is near impossible to predict long term effects.

Most common and low processed food have been long enough around for humans to adapt to their usage (milk and related foods, for example) or that are essentially guaranteed to be near harmless by human selection of those foods (e.g. apples, carrots, meat).

Personally I believe that there is substantial evidence that highly processed foods (most importantly those created in large parts by chemical laboratories and produced in factories, with low or minimal input from actual food) play a significant part in an obesity crises affecting hundreds of millions of people, especially in the US and Europe.
Happy Meals toys were my ONLY toys for the first decade of my life.

I remember every single one I had; I didn’t have many.
I don't understand their approach. It sounds too buzzwordy:

"Build on substantial data on the whales’ sounds, social lives, and behavior already obtained by the Dominica Sperm Whale Project. Create a bespoke, big data pipeline to examine the recorded data and decode it using advanced machine learning, natural language processing and data science."

Zero shot classification without any examples? OK. Having "Behaviour" information to link to sounds? OK. But using "data science" and especially using NLP to decode whale sound? Sorry you have to be more specific, otherwise this sounds just like any other buzzword bingo.

Educate yourself on food is my advice.

I'm in a similar position, but what made the last time different (down 120 lbs in a year) was education.

First step was simple calorie counting. You don't have to do it forever, but there are calories hiding in the most non-obvious places, and I'm convinced this is what sabotages people who think they should be losing weight but aren't.

For example, a breakfast of eggs and whole grain toast sounds healthy... but coat the pan in a little too much oil, and that's easily an extra 50 calories. Butter the toast? Easy to add another 50 calories. Do that 4 times in a week and you could have just ate a double cheeseburger, and the double cheeseburger would have actually made you fuller.

Now multiply small mistakes like that across your other meals and you have a recipe for feeling like you're starving yourself, not seeing results, and rebounding in frustration.

I also used to think it was just a lack of willpower that caused me to eat out of control, but things like not getting enough protein, eating foods that are designed to be addicting, and multitasking while I ate, were all working against me.

I decided to stop using willpower as an excuse. If I gained weight, I analyzed why I had gained or overate without thinking "I need to be harder on myself" or "I need to be stronger". Often times patterns emerged, like "I didn't get enough protein that day so I ended up overeating at dinner", or even things as specific as "when I started to introduce food X into my diet, my weight loss slowed down" which revealed I was miscounting the calories on them.

-

From there you can start to build strategies on your education. Like yesterday, visiting family I had barely eaten all day. They ordered pizza and I knew that was a terrible combination for me: ravenously hungry + delicious pizza felt like a recipe for overeating.

So as soon as they ordered the pizza, I drank a protein shake (150 calories, 30g of protein) and drank as much water as I could. By the time the pizza arrived, that "ravenous hunger" was just a dull hunger, I was able to eat a single slice and feel full.

The old me would have tried to power through that with "iron will", but failed, went back down after everyone fell asleep, and ate every single left over piece.

Sometimes you need to accept that willpower is not enough, and that's especially true in modern times. We've invented foods that simply could not exist before in terms of how addictive they are, and how little nutrition they provide.

That's why people can demolish a box of Oreos and still feel hunger, but try it with that many cookies made from scratch in a home kitchen for example, and those same people will just get sick. It turns out when you don't get to "cheat" with binders and artificial flavors optimized to the Nth degree by highly paid researchers, you can't really recreate the uniquely bad for you foods that these companies can.
It’s eminently clear that identity politics is the name of the game across the political spectrum.
Unsure if IBM is involved, but there is the "industrial ethernet" connector that's different.

Tried to find it and found a few variants, but the one I had in mind is the "ix industrial ethernet" that's used by the MNT Pocket Reform.

I'm not trying to be snarky here, but why is the saturated fat in regular whipped cream bad, assuming it is not consumed in excess? This seems to be the main selling point in the article, so I'm genuinely curious.

Why do you think the miniseries will take his side? The “white collar crime miniseries” genre is generally not flattering to those involved.
I dunno, I’ve never had a problem with counterfeit products on Amazon. I avoid third party sellers though (even if “fulfilled by Amazon”) so that’s probably why. Buying direct from Amazon hasn’t resulted in anything fishy for me yet.

> 60-cents per dollar of debt is quite cheap

These loans are almost certain to be restructured. Twitter was the last cycle’s top-tick buyout. Everyone realised it within weeks of the signing, which is why Elon expended so much effort trying to bust the deal. (The psychopathic move would be to red line the company, thereby tanking the bonds’ value, before putting in a Hail Mary bottom-barrel bid.)
> The problem is that basic necessities have been turned into a profit-printing machine and you pay 2K a month for a 500 square feet apartment in London.

There would be significantly more profit (and tax revenue) if it was possible to build more housing in London.

Although artificially constraining supply and reducing competition has contributed significantly to the problem of there being a few big winners vs a broad set. So it's still relevant.
New tools should be looked at as opening up new things you can cook. Pressure pots excel at dry beans, soups, and stews. If you don’t cook those, you won’t see the benefits. 1 hour in a pressure pot vs 8 hours in a crock pot is a game changer.

Pot roast seems like a bad fit since with a roast you’d typically want the roasted outside in the dry heat of the oven. You also need things that have enough water that will generate enough steam to build up pressure, so low moisture things won’t turn out well either.
Imagine painting somebody's walls and being given a participation trophy lol.
He's already $33 Billion in the hole. what's another $8ish Billion to make it possible for Twitter to actually become profitable?

The $1.3 Billion/year interest payment has to be the biggest existential threat to Twitter.

Besides, going from $13 Billion in debt to $8ish Billion is a smoother $5 Billion in basically profits. Twitter has to pay those debts back eventually, why not right now when the debt is so so so cheap?

This. Tech workers have been pampered for a decade, up to the point where people feel entitled to their job. From high six figure salaries to all the perks that tech cos give out without necessarily requiring a 4 year cs degree, life is pretty good, compared to others in the medical field, education, finance etc.

Employment is never certain. Companies grow, pivot, shutdown, cut costs. The last 10+ years were the golden years for tech, but times are changing. Fat needs to be trimmed. Sometimes it hits even the good ones. The business doesnt owe its employees anything other than compensation for services.

I empathize with the visa holders stuck in jobs or lost theirs and now have to scramble to look for a new job and sponsor. I was a H1B myself, and I was always aware of the risks and being at the mercy of my employer, but that is the risk I was willing to take for a job I liked that paid a lot more.

I see a lot of anger towards companies aggressively hiring at fault, but if they didn't, a lot more people would not have had their cush jobs for however long it lasted.

At what point is something with somebody's name on it that they never touch, but is completely created and maintained by others, considered not their creation anymore? I would think it would be death, but it's probably 70 years after death. Thousands of people, laboring day and night on the creation of a dead man who even when he was alive may have never quite known how it worked.
I left a non 5 star review of an inexpensive Pixel 4 case. The case was too close around the flash resulting in the flash reflecting off the case resulting in absolutely awful pictures.

I was offered a refund and replacement of a newer version of the case in return for a better review.

The phone case was simply not fit for purpose as it was and the review fairly (I hope) highlighted this.

I accepted the replacement newer version and agreed to a more flattering review once the improved case was seen to indeed be improved. If the flaw had been fixed then it would be fair to reflect this in my review.

The improved case was no different and my review remained unchanged, except for an update reflecting the bribe.
Is this true? What happened to unvested RSUs?
A lot of people missing the scope.

Getting to the top 1% isn't really hard. There are 8 billion people on the Earth getting to the top one percent means being in the top 80 million. I can think several things that I'm in the top 1% because most of the people newer do it.

The problem with the internet your reach is higher and you can see people who are one in the million or billion in one aspect of their life, but don't see anything else.
Sorry, but can you share some source for that?

Like, on first page I've found in Google (https://www.insiderintelligence.com/insights/amazon-revenue/) it says:
AWS – ~17B
Ads – ~9B
Online stores – ~66B

I actually wouldn't be surprised if I'm misunderstanding something and you're right, but can I ask where you got these numbers?

Edit: On second read I realized the source I sent was misleading – the title talks about annual revenue, but hidden in the text there's a note saying that sub-headings actually show quarterly revenue. I'm still not sure about AWS-to-sales ratio, but my apologies for earlier confusion.
Gradually over the course of ~12-36 years, depending on the number of employees. If you started your business, say, Bamazon, 25 years ago or whatever, and its year 26, you're a trillion dollar corporation, etc, most of the new value add happening at Bamazon isn't down to the CEO's brilliance anymore, just because of the sheer scale of Bamazon. So by then most of that new value add should be going to the workers. Bezos would still have become a billionaire or whatever. And you can implement this pretty straight forwardly actually by just printing new shares for workers as part of their total comp.
