It's a pity you ruined an otherwise interesting comment with this flippant remark. Aside from being against HN rules, it just grates, like you finished your comment by calling everyone else idiots.

(HN rules also say to ignore the lowest quality part of comments and focus on the higher quality part, so here I am breaking the rules too BTW.)
I’d recommend taking a few steps before doing a chargeback in cases like this:

1. Search around for back channel support. Google things like “executive customer support”. Often times these emails get published by bloggers, forums, etc.

You can also look up support VP /Director’s names and then guess their email (e.g. first.last@example.com) and tell them your story.

2. Send a signature-required letter detailing out the issue, steps taken, and your requested resolution

These two steps get you significantly closer to having a person who can actually solve your problem actually look into the issue.
A lot of people who thought they were above certain kinds of work are finding that they are not. This is creating a lot of socioeconomic tension. On the flip side, it is probably making people better appreciate those willing to do hard, unglamorous jobs.
Exactly my thoughts, I now first ask chatGPT and then go to Google.
We should have empathy with bullying billionaires, not because of anything they may or may not deserve, but because empathy is a tool for understanding humans. Empathy is a superpower.

If we fall to empathize with Musk, we can convince ourselves the problem is simply that the wrong billionaire has all that money. That's a fatal miscalculation. It is vital to understand that this power will corrupt anyone.

This is completely separate to the question of whether Musk is a good person or whether he is legally or morally responsible for his actions & the fallout from them. This is about doing right by ourselves by obtaining an accurate understanding of the world, and using that information to make good decisions about your our society should function.

This is cool. Being able to render SVG animations natively, without having to embed a browser, is awesome.

The map of Paris rendered in 40ms on my M1 Air which is crazy considering it's a 14MB file with tons of overlapping shapes.

I'm guessing supporting stroke is difficult because you would need to ultimately convert them to shapes which can travel through the pipeline.
I'm going to suggest that the options for syrup in the EU are very different from in Quebec. Anything they buy there is likely to be a blend. Agreed that they should avoid anything in a clear bottle though.
Good, and as expected.

This is completely normal for companies to do this and there is a 99% chance that doing a chargeback will get your account immediately terminated.

You cannot have it both ways with chargebacks and keeping your account as I have said before [0] as it is rife with abuse and friendly fraud and the merchant reserves the right to suspend, terminate and ban your account if you do so as per their ToS.

So this is of course hardly a surprise here.

Per-service bans seems like the obvious thing.

Sure, there will be some rough edges (what when I am banned from GDrive but not Gmail, but then I click the 'save to drive' button in gmail?). Who will test that codepath?

How about when i DDoS the antivirus service API? - does that mean my email will no longer be scanned?

But a few rough edges for a few users seems better than a few users very unhappy and enough to become negative PR sources for life.
Caml 1.0 was released in '85 and OCaml (the O is for Object Orientation) was 1996. Multithreading wasn't a high priority for anybody back then. The JVM didn't even have threads until 1997 and those threads were green threads, OS threads came to Java later.

I don't speak german, but by video identification do you mean the system in which you turn in the webcam and it checks your face? If so, that is highly vulnerable to real time face swapping attacks (and possibly just recorded webcam footage). I'm sure you're aware, but these systems need to change.

A completely bespoke solution. I was both too busy to and too inexperienced with kubernetes to get into it and have a conversation.

IIRC the main criticisms were that it wouldn't scale to our needs and there were some use cases that wouldn't be handled by kubernetes easily. The end result would be two different solutions for the same problem, a slow migration to kubernetes that may or may not stall out, and then a half finished/perpetual migration that would double support costs.

I guess you could transport it at immense cost. But you'd also need a machine capable of moulding or extruding it this big. Current maximum for plastic pipes is about 3.5m diameter https://www.agru.at/en/applications/agruline/grand-opening-r... so you'd need something which is capable of more than 3 times the diameter.
90+% of startups fail. Just because you made it with one doesn't mean you'll make it with another. So many things can go wrong. Even if you do everything right, you're still rolling the dice.

Do your friends and family understand that they have a very high chance of never seeing that money again? If you value your relationship with them, give the money back.

VC investing is not for the faint of heart. You probably convinced them to invest because you've done it once, and were decently successful -- but not successful enough to have a seed round for your next one.

I went to look for uLisp, which is there and I am quite fond of, but “for Arduino” may have only been its original intent. It’s a bit broader now.

And even that needs updated on the site, as it runs on the RP2040 (Pi Pico) as well, with wireless functions on the W variant, even.

You're trying to prove a negative using Chernobyl (a 50-year old design) as some kind of proof.

Even with Chernobyl only 100 deaths are directly attributed to the disaster and there hasn't been any statistically observable rise in effects like cancer since.

So, the greatest nuclear power plant disasters in human history caused ... fewer deaths than a single coal power plant in a big city.

So yes. We will use them as examples of how safe nuclear power actually is.
Wide SMT/CMT is also favored by Oracle's billing system - you aren't billed (afaik) per-thread but actually per-core, so 4-wide SMT or 8-wide SMT gives you an advantage over x86's 2-wide SMT.

In theory the "core multipliers" are supposed to offset this, so a "core multiplier" for POWER or SPARC should be higher - but Oracle also likes to push you towards their own products, so there is a bit of a "bundle discount" particularly on SPARC's core multiplier.
I'm not sure why page count instead of word or character count is used - feels like there could easily be external factors such as page size or typeface that are effecting this.

Thank you. I was typing out a comment like this in frustrated response to a different remark elsewhere in the thread (“calories in, calories out!”) but stopped. I’m glad I did because you put what I was going to say much better than I would have. Also I learned the word “stoicimetric,” so thanks for that.
tl:dr; turn off the notifications and proritise your workload so you know that the stuff you are clearing is the important stuff first, tell the company you are doing this to focus on your backlog.

This is going to come across as arrogant, and in a way it is, but in a healthy way.

If your tickets are piling up then you /need/ to ignore distractions. Someone then tries to track you down so you lead with 'is it on fire?' and when it is, ok that does rank highly, but when it's not 'sorry, I've got so much backlog I need to focus on right now, email me and I'll look at it as soon as I can, but fair warning, it might take a while' is not only ok, it's absolutely critical. In a very strange turn of events you'll likely see that somehow these critical problems are being solved at the source.... ;)

This also means that the workload you have and therefore the time you allocate to spending doing it has to be priority driven. Start with the flames and work back to the embers.

Finally, just to reinforce the main point here, if the tooling you've been provided with isn't enabling you to do your job well, then find how it will and tell the company what you plan to do to ensure productivity.

:) remember, they hired you to make them money, if you find a better way of making money faster and for longer only an idiot will find fault with that. This is how good ways of working evolve in environments.
> "The balance of evidence against saturated fats is quite clear,"

Copying from a comment I made 3 months ago[2]; Dr Paul Mason on "Saturated Fat is not Dangerous"[1] talks about the introduction of the "lower saturated fat" guidelines in Australia and how it was not based on any evidence or medical literature review. He mentions three meta-analyses on saturated fats:

"Insufficient evidence of association is present for intake of ... saturated or polyunsaturated fatty acids; total fat ... meat, eggs and milk" - Mente A, et al. A systematic review of the evidence supporting a causal link between dietary factors and coronary heart disease. Arch Intern Med. 2009 April 13.

"... no significant evidence for conclusing that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD" - Siri-Tarino PW, et al. Meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies evaluating the association of saturated fat with cardiovascular disease. Am J Clin Nutr. 2010 Mar.

"There were no clear effects of dietary fat changes on total mortality or cardiovascular mortality..." - Hooper L, et al. Reduced or modified dietary fat for preventing cardiovascular disease. Cochrane Database Syst. Rev. 2011 Jul 6.

And he says "the balance of evidence available at the time of developing our nutritional guidelines says that saturated fat in the diet is not associated with any deleterious health outcomes, that is, it's safe".

Newer research published after 2013, same results, he cites three more reviews and meta-analyses, two from the British Medical Journal.

Then he mentions the biggest most expensive study done on reducing dietary fat, $700,000,000 dollars, 50,000 people, 8 years, and the only statistically significant result from the study was that women with a history of heart disease who were randomly selected into the lower fat group, increased their risk of problems such as heart attacks by 26%.

That is, saturated fat (animal fat tends to be) hasn't been proven to do anything bad, and reduced fat (vegetarianism tends to be , but not necessarily) hasn't been proven to do anything beneficial.

There's a picture of him there that day near the TSBD. It's fuzzy and not close-up, but you can make out his features on close analysis.

Barbara Bush said in her memoirs that he was in Texas, near Dallas, at that time.

Trump, for all the things he did that were "rebellious", was in lock-step with the deep state for not releasing all of the files. I'd like to see the discussion Trump had with the Archives custodian's or whomever has the power to release or not allow the release of such things.

Trump was smart to have his own private security detail.

In the absence of the truth, there will ever only be theories.
The EU is overstepping.

I don't think that Twitter did anything illegal but if it potentially did then there is a legal due process. It is not for an EU Commissioner to threaten 'sanctions'...

On the other hand, Elon has to be extremely important and powerful in this world for the EU Commission to comment on its every move at Twitter, which is ironic when claiming to defend 'media freedom'.

At some point it does give the impression of a witch hunt against Musk. Just let him and Twitter be, I'm sure governments and the EU Commission have better things to do, and so do we (though I'm spending 2 minutes of my life commenting).

These guys keep pushing the idea that if it's not federated, it's closed and proprietary. In at least the cases of Signal and Threema that's just not true.

That's an overstatement of the century.

Even if it would be running natively, the statement'd be still highly debatable.

But it's Electron based and using TypeScript, which means it uses a lot more electricity than a native solution would (about 20 times [1]), wasting precious resources.
Now consider the fact that this is a product of a company that states "to ensure that technology is inclusive, trusted, and increases sustainability."

The only amazing thing here is the level of hypocrisy, IMHO.

Also while it's nice that this shortener doesn't obfuscate where the link goes, in general url shorteners make it easier to run malicious sites. Yes, it's ridiculous that Twitter is marking Mastodon sites as unsafe. But if something is marked as unsafe, and you use a url shortener to link to it anyway, it is terrible security on Twitter's part to not also mark the shortened link unsafe.

Fast food burgers are surely nowhere near as healthy as breadless home made burgers with grass-fed non-gmo meats but I would put the bigger risk on the associated High Fructose Corn Syrup drinks and oil cooked fries.

Shaming people usually backfires whereas some states have had some success with taxing high fructose corn syrup drinks. Given that the long term health effects of fast food ultimately affect the national economy, national health budgets and national security, this is one rare case I believe a sin-tax makes sense provided that tax goes to health care. Diabetes alone will likely bankrupt most first world countries. [1][2] Why national security? For starters, the US military is finding it very difficult to recruit healthy people that can even pass their simple physical requirements. [3]

It is always puzzling to me with how Germany has many cultural similarities with us Nordics and is an advanced science nation, yet is always so much slower in adopting new technologies. In Norway we have used electronic receipts since 2013. That is like a decade.

But I suspect it is a difference in attitude. I think in Scandinavia we are generally far more enthusiastic about new things.
I had to return a new DOA phone once to Google Fi; despite having a tracking number, and being delivered back to them on the final return window day, they still charged me full new price for my used-replacement phone, after the return was already delivered.

Dealing with support was near impossible, no one had power to override the order, until finally I said I'd chargeback, then they were suddenly able to cancel it...

Obviously I'd never actually charge back though, as shown here, I assumed I'd get the boot

> it's entirely possible that natural honey contains some organic chemical that increases metabolism in humans.

Not sure about honey, but this is true for figs. Since humans co-evolved with figs and our ancestors have likely been eating them for tens of millions of years, they don't spike your blood sugar as much as their sugar content would suggest on its own. (The book Gods, Wasps and Stranglers talks extensively about how humans likely co-evolved with figs.)
Is there a guide on how to use the new constructs? The link to the 5.0 docs was broken on the site, and after manually fixing the URL all I found was some type annotations in the `Effects` module.
forgive my ignorance first of all.

One of the things i was going to work on this weekend was an enhancement to a side project and it involves storing some sensitive information in a database. My usual way of doing this is strong encryption in the application code with a key from an environment variable then base64 encode the result and put it in a text column.

Is Vault something that can handle this without getting into my app code? Basically, if i gave a someone root access to my supabase instance is that encrypted data safe?

PS the more i read about supabase the more magical it becomes. It's incredible work so congratulations, i love it.
Out of curiosity, do you work closely with hardware/embedded systems or similar concepts?
German engineers typically point at politicians to blame for projects being late. But they share the blame. Over-engineering and lack of push-back against feature creep seem to be standard. Often times, the feature creep is homemade, by the engineers themselves. Other countries get things done simpler and thus faster. Be a bit pragmatic and boom, it's live and works. In Germany you first need to create a bunch of Arbeitsgruppen in a new Bundesamt fur Warmeluft and protocols and certificates and meetings and Pflichtenheft and by the time this thing has grown to 1000 pages you realize that your team is much too small and you need to hire more people and it just keeps growing.

Meanwhile, other countries have offered a web portal for years with a digital version of the Patsientenakte and all prescriptions in one place. Works. Not in Germany though.

> On the other hand, the task is enormous, we were discussing last week that if we had double the man power, we would still have the same workload, because we push back on a lot of things. We have about 70 projects that we wrote and maintain and a backlog of another 12 waiting to be started.

I rest my case.
