The reason paper is used for invoices is because lots of people want it that way.

Paper invoice is well established and understood by everybody (your solution may not be).

Paper invoice doesn't require owning a 3G-connected smartphone with active app store account backed by email and credit card and passwords and recovery codes (your solution may require such).

Access to paper invoice cannot be unilaterally revoked by the invoice issuer (might not be the case in your solution).

Paper invoice will just be there for years and years, and can be presented when required by IRS audit in 20 years (might not be the case in your solution).

There are organizations that email me the invoices as attached PDFs. This is fine, as it can be easily turned into a paper invoice. There are organizations that email me the link to invoices. This is not fine, as the link may expire, so I have to remember to download the invoice shortly. There are organizations that require me to download an app of their choice to view their invoice, and I absolutely refuse to deal with them. My phone is there for my convenience, not their convenience, and I choose the apps that run on my phone, while they don't have any say in the matter.

I mean, I know he's a bit of an odd character and a showman, but do you actually think he's that "out of his depth" that he's desperately trying to crib other people's code? He's accomplished some pretty impressive things in a pretty short career – for now I would take him at face value re: asking for code as a clever recruiting strategy.
"Sold by Amazon" comingles identical SKUs from different sellers in their warehouses.

Seller A sells real Product Z on Amazon. Seller B sells fake Product Z on Amazon. When you order Product Z that is "Sold on Amazon" you might get a real one provided by Seller A, or you might get a fake one sold by Seller B

When the topic of VPN comes up, there are often posts which criticize the use of a VPN for the use case of privacy. These posts are often absolutist in nature and fail to address specific threat models. Of course a VPN isn't going to protect your privacy from state level actors - I doubt that it is possible anyway.

Why I use a VPN:

1. I don't want many of the sites I browse to know my IP.

2. My US ISP corrupted my government to allow them to steal my data. I don't know if I can trust my VPN provider, but I know for certain that I can't trust my thieving ISP.

3. I frequently connect through untrustworthy networks when traveling. Yes, SSL helps, but going through a VPN is an added layer of abstraction.

I am not a network security expert, so criticism of these three use cases is highly welcome.
I also like the write up about its internal data structure. It really helped me understand how to build my own git based tools.
So thanks for that!
The point is to play nice. "I have this task the page needs to do, but I can wait a bit until more convenient". Not "browser is idle, let's mine some bitcoin" as you suggest.
Legislating would collapse under the simple iterative maintenance of such a policy. Every year would be N+(this year's new legislation).
I'm not in favor of such short time limits. How can you possibly review all laws every couple of years? That would put even more pressure on the legislative branch, with the result that each and every rule is passed unseen, and everyone loses time anyway.
The cooling on those machines was bed yes, but their Intel CPUs were also ran more ho than they had any right to. Good Windows laptops with the same CPUs didn’t overheat easily but would run their fans doing nothing and have their fans screaming when being pushed. Their battery life was also pretty abysmal, and that’s only started to improve meaningfully with the last 1-2 gems of x86 CPUs.
Is it entitled to think that a 2.0 will not have regressions on useful functionality?

But GitHub is afaik the only site on the Internet that actually does account management correctly, so it least there is that.
I don't think you are really informed on the matter thought. "maybe 1-2 years" here sounds like an educated guess, and the whole point of the article is that that guess is wrong at least in the US.

> Mozilla has partnered with Mullvad in order to utilize our global network of VPN servers for its own VPN application, Mozilla VPN, since July 2019.

Mozilla uses Mullvad VPN, they built their VPN Client application using wireguard

Therefore, it's a VPN Client, not "their VPN", VPN = virtual private network, it's not their "network"

Chrome Browser = VPN Client

Google Services = VPN

Brave made a browser using chromium, but they do not use Google's servers/services, so its their browser

Understand the difference now?

How? Without government incentives like for EVs, the upfront costs still take too long to recover even with the supposed energy savings and cheaper Chinese solar components.

There’s definitely feel good incentives, but not monetary.
I started doing the same 1-2 years ago! Felt bad about giving Jeff Bezos so much money.

At first I thought it was gonna be an impossible effort, but since I'd take Google over Amazon any day (although also not super happily), I do a lot of the last mile (finding a good/non-shady offer for a specific product I've already decided to buy through reviews) there. And usually I find it cheaper with equally fast shipping. For stuff I commonly buy, there are really strong competitors (at least in Germany) that I buy from by going directly to their website.

Had to first realise that a lot of the stuff Amazon was at first unique for, is now pretty much a commodity. And their offering certainly hasn't improved in the last years in my eyes.

> EU To Warn Twitter And Facebook To Stick To Rules

> The social media giants' EU operations are based in Ireland, and Brussels is worried that a wave of job losses will undermine their content moderation and data protection standards.

> But there are concerns in Brussels that Musk's libertarian free speech stance -- and the gutting of Twitter's staff -- will undermine efforts to stamp out propaganda, hate speech and harassment.

---

A) This Brussels office is not Twitter's only, or even main, presence in the EU. So this probably isn't a "fine I'll just leave" thing.

B) This comes in the middle of a spat about whether Twitter is actually allowed to stop censoring things. The FT article sounds like this was probably the office responsible for coordinating Twitter's censorship policies with government policy makers?
This would have been perfect if it worked on Windows too. I need to look into dual booting Linux (opening a can of worms) just to give it a try, as WSL doesn't seem to cut it.
For those that truly cannot abide systemd, OpenBSD seems a great alternative.
I do my online shopping almost exclusively through comparison sites (idealo and geizhals). They have much better filter options. This also overcomes the problem with dynamic pricing where in some cases shops show me >25% higher price if I navigate to them directly as they show me when coming through a price comparison site.
Cryptocurrency mining does not cause global warming.

Burning fossil fuel does. Why not ban fossil fuel burning, if the concern is pollution? How are all other industries exempt?
I predicted back when they started backpedaling that there's a chance that sd1.4 or 1.5 will be the best available model to the general public, for a very long duration, because the backlash will force them to self-castrate themselves.

You can see nobody likes this new model in any of the stable diffusion communities. It's a big flop and for a good reason. The reason it was so
successful in the first place was because you could combine artist names to get the model to the outcome you want.

I'll again remind anyone who thinks they might want to use this to download a working version of SD now. They might break their own libraries in the future, and getting SD1.4 could be a real hassle in a year or so. Getting the right .ckpt file, which can have pickled python malware, is not so trivial, and this will get worse in time.

It's going to diverge into castrated official model that intentionally breaks the older models and older models from unofficial shady sources that might contain malware.
Perhaps society doesn't need an ever linearly-increasing body of laws?
My understanding is, if I sell an item with a SKU[1] 123456, and use "fulfillment by Amazon" it goes in an Amazon warehouse in a bucket with all the other items of the same SKU using Amazon's shipping. Then my inventory becomes just a number in a database.

People selling DVDs on Amazon were complaining about bad reviews because someone bought from them, but got a counterfeit sold by someone else.

The code: https://github.com/hiroki0525/idle-task/blob/main/src/index....

Some initial impressions (based on https://github.com/hiroki0525/idle-task/blob/7e88c8b97c926cf...):

• The cancelIdleCallback fallback implementation will never be defined, so cancelAllIdleTasks will unexpectedly throw an exception in environments like Safari that depend on the polyfill. (Solution: delete lines 14–15.)

• That the simple fallback implementation is a modifying polyfill is not nice, if not clearly stated. Typically better to define it as a local, e.g. `const rIC = typeof requestIdleCallback !== "undefined" ? requestIdleCallback : function …` and subsequently use rIC instead of requestIdleCallback. (Related, I’m not sure quite why you only install the polyfill if self is a thing, are you deliberately ensuring you can’t use this in Node?)

• The default code path is broken, process.env.NODE_ENV will fail in normal browser environments since process is undefined. (And no, no build process gets rid of this, fetch the distributed package and see that its index.js still contains it.)

• Line 74, don’t return a value from a private function if none of the uses use that value; just drop the return keyword.

• Lines 86–93, splitting logArgs out doesn’t make sense to me, it’s functionally harmless, but needless bloat. (I am perennially disappointed at the utterly primitive state of JavaScript bundlers/optimisers/minifiers: especially with TypeScript knowledge of the interfaces being touched, reordering and inlining is a trivial and obvious optimisation that only changes behaviour on bonkers code that deserves to get broken, but no tool will do it, though Closure Compiler’s advanced optimisations mode might be able to be coaxed into doing it—if it even supports spread syntax.)

• The vibe I’m getting is that this works with a mixture of callbacks and promises, and ends up complicated because of it, parts of it feeling like the ’90s and parts like the mid-’10s. The modern approach would be to use abort signals, which… eh, they’re simpler in some cases, more complicated in others. But from this library’s perspective, you could replace the entire interface with just one promise-returning function, which I’d name schedule(task, options), with options including {signal: AbortSignal}. Cancellation would be handled a bit differently, but it’d be more flexible, because it’s left up to the caller how they hook cancellation up (want to be able to cancel a subset of all the tasks together? Easy, give them the same signal). And I think the code of this library would be simplified by going all in on such a pattern.
I think it's kind of implied that a 100k _doesn't_ scale.

> But it would still be so much more useful to see "Do you want to navigate away? (580 characters of Description and two other fields will be lost)". Or "Do you want to quit? (0:28 mins of play will be lost)" versus just quitting when nothing will be lost because the auto-save is up to date.

For games, you could perhaps even omit the warning entirely if you just saved manually.

You're describing endeavourOS. It's Arch, but with an installer that gets you a sane default desktop quickly.

Remember HD radio? I'm amazed how little adoption that still has. They got the radio stations to buy in which should've been the hard part. If it was like any other technology it should be built into the FM tuner chips for basically no cost by this point. Maybe the patent licensing is really expensive? The patents can expire just in time for nobody to care.
LaundroGraph: Self-Supervised Graph Representation Learning for Money Laundering
Every hour you do past your normal working hours is not only free work for your employer, but it also devalues your own worth. Why would they raise you to $50 an hour, when you're willing to take your $40 and work 1.5x as much, making it $30 an hour ?

Additionally, because spending your time just working for a company is fucking miserable. If you have stuff that needs to be done still, that's a management failure, not your problem. These are all hours wasted on not seeing family, friends, enjoying other things, broadening your horizon.

I'm not calling for "come in at 8, clock out at 5 and fuck off", but spending more than a single additional evening for work is proof of terrible management and a straight up insult to your free time.
Other than asking my mechanic if he would buy from me (answered strong yes), no, I have not tested it. I look forward to seeing the Launch HN or product hunt launch if you or someone runs with it. It could be run out of a small town near to an airport somewhere, 2-3 employees. Website could have where in the queue your job was. Complementary goods for extra margin could be in small, specific lubricants (food grade, heat resistant, etc) in mini bottles and packs, assorted washers and bolts, basically small stuff that you order while you are getting something else that saves you a car trip.
One of the reasons software and hardware had a revolutionary growth was because regulators were mainly out of the scope.

That's funny. I was scrolling down and after a while the article got covered by a popup ad with something about black friday! subscribe now!

And back to Amazon, i just don't search for generic products name on there. I just go to check if they have a specific product.

Same for the iOS app store etc. You just can't trust them.
I should add, after reading the other comments here, that it's definitely 3. The notion of being "art-y" sticks in my craw, and would seem out of place if you actually observed the process of preparing for a performance, and the performance itself. You wouldn't guess that it was a jazz performance by looking at or talking to any of the participants.

The things that propel this activity are really pretty primitive: A love for the music itself, a feeling that it "deserves" to be performed, even if to a limited audience, pride in the craftsmanship involved, and the social hang.
Search engines have overall become terrible due to ads. Amazon is finally a search engine with the extra step of selling a material good.

I have to admit that it has become difficult also for me to find a simple item without too much bias on Amazon. Last search I did a few days ago was for some beard balms and things like that. Finally, for some items I bought a known "safe" brand, while for other things I couldn't decide on I chose a local shop nearby. Yes, this exclusively because of the issue described in the article.

So it seems: if you don't know ahead what to buy, Amazon is not a good place to search for things. On the other hand, it's convenient for subscriptions to items you know you want and need (pampers, toilet paper, etc.)

...and don't get me started on "let's search for products made in XYZ" to narrow down the search. It's just impossible.
I’ve had my Reddit account for 15 years. Never given them an email.
> In [his paper, Matthew Ferranti [— a fifth-year PhD candidate in Harvard's economics department —] argues that it makes sense for many central banks to hold a small amount of Bitcoin under normal circumstances, and much more Bitcoin if they face sanctions risks, though his analysis finds gold is a more useful sanctions hedge.
I was a consultant at Twitter. The engineers there love complexity. They created layers and layers just to justify their positions so they can have fuel to burn to climb up the ladder. Most of the stuff they built is unnecessary and that effort could have been spent elsewhere. The managers enabled this because they needed the efforts to climb up as well. There was an in-group bias there that kept opposing voices away which creates deep valleys of blindness that crack the company eventually. Which is what happened, Twitter was dead weight for a long time. Glad Elon is there to shake things up. Jack was not effective anymore. Actually the culture he enabled is what brought Twitter to the point it was.

This happens everywhere so nothing new here. Especially when tech investment has been free for such a long time. Maybe even this economic downturn wont disrupt the tech investment machine. We will see next year.

If Twitter goes public again. I will be the first to buy shares. Since it will actually be a good play going forward.
The whole musk shebang has been an eye opener for me. I usually consider HN to be top of the line as far as internet forums go, but the amount of mental gymnastics I'm seeing these past days... Unbelievable.
Well, the difference would be "we find a niche and make a bank on it by being best at it" vs "we make a ton of money on the niche, how we can make even more?". I.e. being happy that you "made it" and continue to make the as good product vs trying to squeeze everything out of it to deliver investor returns.

Theoretically being too greedy like that should open niche for competition with better product that's less exploitative but that is really hard if the near-monopolist on market is big enough or the product is hard enough.
Exactly. It might require some work - but only a small part. shouldn't be the place to start.

If your politicians are the most honest and working for the people, they can be branded as tyrants by the empire's propaganda machine which will use it as justification for military and economic warfare until they submit to the neoliberal rules based order.
