Yes. They're saving money hoping that the customer does the work for free!

What is your point anyway?

Do you really think I should be wasting half an hour to a full hour of my life every month to download a dozen of PDFs (remember, it's not only banks which want that) so big corporations can save like $5 on paper & postage?

Why would I want to work for below minimum wage for those people, for no tangible benefit to me?

(Paper is as easy to process as PDFs, and IMHO in fact easier to process:

You can fit multiple sheets on your desktop in parallel, you can shuffle it around, hold it next to each other for cross-referencing, you can write stuff onto it and be sure it will be readable in 10 years (might not be true for PDF annotation software!), the disk it's stored on won't die, your relatives can read it if you die, etc. If paper was a VR-product all these things would be advertised as great new VR features. In real life we get these 3D-features for free but their advantages are completely ignored when forcing the usage of computers for the sake of it.)
That's the whole point. They can afford the fine, especially in the billions of dollars just like what Facebook has done for repeat violations and it should be the standard fine for billion-dollar companies.
It blocked me in 2018, because I went on extended business trip to US, and tried to convert my personal account to a business one (to get proper invoces for expensing). My activity became suspicious, and now Uber wants scan of my credit card and government-issued ID, which I'm not willing to give it.
Just a wild guess, but I suspect that stocks below a certain price are too vulnerable to price manipulation via pump and dump schemes.

It's bad enough when stocks like GameStop were treated like a meme and turned into a casino game- you could create an entire industry out of doing that to sub-penny stocks because the low price per share makes even small changes in price very impactful.
animals are property - this property was contracted to move into facility X. Failure to do so is a contract breach.
It’s a joke based on the fact that British museums are full of looted foreign artefacts.
Having been on both sides of that very dynamic, I'm inclined to agree.
This is a very wild statement. They are very very different. It's hard to understand how to even compare them. Are pancakes better than naan? Is congee better than grits?
It seems to be exchange-specific, I assume the main reason for this article is:

> For example, on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), if a security's price closed below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, that exchange would initiate the delisting process.

It can be avoided via a "reverse stock-split", which seems to be easy enough to get approved (no owners of the stock want to be delisted!), so nothing hugely dangerous... But it's not a good sign for you company's general health I guess.
I agree. I somehow inverted the purpose of this plugin in my head. Feels weird to be upvoted because people disagree with you.
Exactly. The cloud orientation that differentiates from a non-cloud orientation is not simply a matter of execution abstraction -- that is already handled through libraries and scripts, etc. What would be cloud-oriented are the economic aspects of the cloud. I usually tell people that the cloud is really two separate ideas: the abstraction of infrastructure and computing on the one hand (what used to be called "grid computing") and the economic model of pay-per-consumption, pay-per-use, pay-per-service that shifts capital expenses (the stuff you own and have already paid for that depreciates over time) to operating expenses (stuff you have to keep paying to use). The CIOs like the technology on-demand, easy scale-up/scale-down aspects of the cloud while the CFOs like the idea of shifting CapEx to OpEx and pay as you go aspects of the cloud.
To further nitpick you're all wrong. The large ornate cross is not the necklace:

>WHAT ELSE WAS FOUND?

>The necklace is only part of this amazing burial and x-raying the soil blocks lifted from the site revealed further incredible finds.

>Most excitingly, we found a large ornate cross with inset garnets and smaller crosses at the end of each arm. While it is still being micro-excavated, the x-ray clearly shows its incredible design.

It's been a few years, but my last experience with a taxi dispatcher was them saying "well, what am I supposed to do about it?" when mine was 45 minutes late for my pre-scheduled ride to the airport. Reaching a human isn't a guarantee of non-robotic support.
I hecking love the concept of shuttle. The only thing keeping me from using it is unfamiliarity with rust, but it's enough to make me rethink things.

I think the future isn't as much Lo-code as much as it will be (and goshdarn should be) Lo-DevOps.

There are so many advances in programming, like WASM for example, that will continue to cause this Lo-DevOps movement, but honestly, digging into the language, using the stuff that already is baked in for other existing business purposes.

But things like encore.dev and shuttle.rs (I'm associated with neither) are just mind-blowingly straightforward with no language, infrastructure, or other cognitively burdening information.

I can confirm this is what I did. I started on mastodon.social, then eventually moved to a smaller instance when I got jealous of their local timeline. Then I'm now hosting my own server in the closet.
My guess is that Roddenberry had plans for the character, but as his health declined and his involvement in the show was reduced, the remaining producers did not have the heart to get rid of Wesley. It seemed like Wesley was mostly written out and sent off to Starfleet Academy almost immediately after Roddenberry died.
Just in case you don't realize it, those of us who are not disabled are quite fond of people like you who are that are able to hold this viewpoint instead of insisting on the nu-speak.
Yeah, the tech stock games around ownership vs control are real, and it's unlikely that GOOG owners can assert direct control. Still, if the company fails to listen to GOOG owners, the price will drop, almost as a matter of course.
I enabled 2FA on my account and then lost my phone and couldn't find where I saved the backup codes. I tried to contact their support to see what my options were but that was completely useless. Bots and canned responses. No humans whatsoever. After many, many emails I finally got (what I think) was an actual human to reply and all they sent me was their support article on how to change my password. I tried to explain why that doesn't work but they had no idea what I was talking about and they just sent me the same support article again. Uber accounts are tied to your phone number, so I pretty much lost access to Uber completely unless I feel like changing my phone number. Maybe I'll try my old Grand Central/Google Voice number but I doubt that will work since they probably think it's a bot number.

I bet if I include words like "attack" or "sexual assault" in the email then I'll get past their first-line bot response filter. But I don't care about it that much. Fuck 'em.

In any case, I use Lyft exclusively now. Which is fine because I've found that pretty much every Uber driver is also a Lyft driver.
Can I inquire how you switch inputs (mouse, keyboard) along with the hdmi?
Show HN: Godmode – Web3 Intelligence Made Simple
Hey Hackers,
We recently started working on a web3 intelligence tool called Godmode.

Godmode leverages the public blockchain data to provide insights and competitive intelligence about web3 projects like daily active users, revenue and volume for projects ranging from web3 games to defi protocol.

We are on Beta right now and rolling out in phases. Is Web3 data interesting for you to discover? Especially if you are building a business in the space.

If so, let us know and we can chat. I would love to connect with anyone who would be interested
This difference actually has an audio “uncanny valley” effect because the voice and the video setting are so different now.
Moonlight uses the driver side of this. If they are depreciating their in house client side then I imagine the driver side is about to be killed as well, meaning Moonlight may be about to be unusable.
I actually had to uninstall Lyft after they kept sending me marketing push notifications that couldn't be turned off. It's not reasonable to disable notifications for Lyft, so the whole app had to go.
> I had multiple drivers in a row cancel on me before pickup

I had that exact same experience. Some of them even messaged me encouraging me to please cancel for them so that they would not incur a penalty. (I refused.)

I've been using yellow cabs in cities again. Simple & straightforward.
The "they're all the same" mentality rewards the worst politicians who lie a lot compared with ones who are mostly trying to do the right thing, and perhaps get a bit over-optimistic or something at times.

I lived in Italy for a number of years, and the cynicism there about politicians was something I really disliked. It makes you look like you're wise and "in the know", but it sets the bar really low for a job that's pretty important to get right, and where we ought to expect better.
Other motor companies are also investing in autonomous driving. It's just the nature of vehicles, they get more complex all the time. Toyota has announced that it will have autonomous driving by 2025. I'm not sure I believe it, but if the criteria is being working on it, would we be classifying Toyota as a tech company?

Vehicles have air conditioning but that doesn't make motor companies appliance companies or HVAC companies either.
The internet has allowed politics to turn into a team sport.

When the concern is only about the team, faults are easily glossed over.

Changing it into a game, allows game theory to take over people's minds and suddenly there is no behavior too outrageous because the belief becomes that the other guys would have done it if they had thought of it first.

Then very quickly the politicians that hold themselves accountable have been replaced with those who do not and a new norm is formed.
I see that I will have to expand on my brief observation, but to get us on the same page, I will need to know what you mean by the premise "humans == conscious".

If this is to be taken as a statement of identity, I would regard it as a category error, but I will not expand on that here, as I doubt it is what you intended.

If it is to be taken as the claim that only humans could be conscious, I would regard it as both lacking any justification and begging the question.

I think you mean that people generally assume everyone else is conscious in much the same way as they themselves seem to be, which is essentially saying they hold a theory of mind. If so, then I agree with you, but where do we get it from?

I know of no argument that we are born holding this theory, and it seems implausible that we are, as we are born without sufficient language to know what it means. False-belief tasks suggest that we begin to develop it at about 15 months (they also suggest that some other animals have it to some extent.) At that age it is, of course, tacit (rather than propositional) knowledge.

It would be absurd to suggest that toddlers come to deduce this from some self-evident axioms. What does that leave? I don't think there are any suggestions other than the obvious one: we arrive at it intuitively from our observations of the world around us, and particularly other people.

Ergo, those of us who make use of a theory of mind came by it from observation of what you call "a fuzzy indirect set of second-order human behaviors", and no one, as far as I know, has come up with a better justification for believing it.
Lucky the Russians aren't fighting the US.

Not really because we have known for almost a century that nuclear fusion is a real thing that can release energy.

The problem is the engineering of how to actually do it in a useful way. They have made some progress towards that but it's still extremely unlikely that laser based fusion will ever work as a power source because: a) they're still two orders of magnitude from break-even from the input side, and b) they don't have a practical way of capturing the energy that's produced at all as far as I understand it.

None of that has changed.
Tokamaks do fuse a lot of atoms, just not yet enough to get more energy out than they put in. The record so far is energy output at 70% of the energy input.

The output scales with the square of plasma volume and fourth power of magnetic field strength, which is why net power is expected from ITER (which is huge) and SPARC (which uses new superconductors for especially powerful magnetic fields).
Aren’t they finally starting to think about letting gays donate blood again? I know we aren’t there yet but sounds like at least some rumblings of progress…

> My mild guess is when resolve is called .then part happens, and when reject is called .catch part happens.

Yes, calling `resolve` or `reject` will "fulfill" the Promise (that is, the control-flow then returns to the context in which the Promise was invoked.)

Your example is missing a detail which makes Promises useful. Both `resolve` and `reject` accept an argument which is passed to the callback function (`example.then(handleSuccess)` and `example.catch(handleCatch)`):

const handlePromise = function(resolve, reject) {
let x = 20;
let y = 20;

// return "Promises will not 'return' a value, they must be resolved or rejected";

if (x == y)
resolve(true);

// reject(false)
reject(new Error("x != y"))
}

const handleSuccess = function(value) {
console.log(value);
}

const handleCatch = function(err) {
console.log(err);
}

const example = new Promise(handlePromise);

example
.then(handleSuccess)
.catch(handleCatch);

Internal combustion engines are approximately 30% efficient. No matter what you do with that energy next, you’ve already lost 70% of the energy.

Combined cycle turbines are about 60% efficient.

its worth noting that the creator of Wing is Elad Ben-Israel - formerly the creator of AWS CDK which has by all accounts been quite popular in the AWS Infra-as-Code world. I kind of view Wing as "CDK++" - if CDK was such a success in flexibily defining and testing infrastructure, what could you do if you further merged in in your language?

i have no stake in Wing but it is a good example of the Self Provisioning Runtime thesis (https://swyx.io/self-provisioning-runtime)
Grandparent comment is a triple entendre: the historical British tendency to take priceless cultural treasures home with them for display is being inverted; the modern British tendency to retire/vacation in Spain is being noted; and I think there's also a jab at Brexit disallowing easy movement, as more people can more easily see a thing exhibited in an EU museum than in a British one due to the Schengen area.
Yeah, men do that believe it or not and cams.
This keeps me awake at night. Where I live, Uber is the only ride service, but my account is in a sketchy limbo that is still working for now. Years ago I wanted to drive for one night to try it out, so now my account is stuck as a “partner.” I can’t change my phone number or anything in the app because it tells me to go to the partner site. I can’t log into that for some reason, and I can’t reset my password because it claims my personal info (SSN) is already in use by another account. Of course support is robots that tell me to do the obvious.

One day I’m sure my account is going to get roboflagged as an anomaly and I’ll be screwed on the side of the road.
> Tried to upload my favorite recorded audio file (MP3) from Japanese program given in the middle of 1980s about a ancient mound (grave) in Japan. A Japanese famous archaeologist, late Koichi Mori (a professor of Doshisya University at that time) talks about Hashihaka mound, but he talks in ... in Spanish?

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Do you mean that the talk was in Japanese but the output of this service somehow screwed it up in a way that it sounds like spanish?

Or are you just mentioning that the thing you uploaded was spanish and not describing the quality of the output?
decentralized social media is an oxymoron. We had it, before facebook we had forums and blogs and irc and other disconnected identities (and it was great). We led multiple parallel lives. The purpose of social media was to tie everything in a single identity , which naturally lends to centralized behemoths.

How about we let the social media paradigm die ?
I guess people reinventing the wheel with a new programming language isn't just some newer-age thing, but happened frequently decades ago too.
Show HN: Gift Genie AI – GPT-3 powered free-text personalized gift ideas
Hiya HN! This weekend I built a webapp tool using the latest GPT-3 model from a few weeks ago (text-davinci-003) to help me come up with personalized and hyper-specific gift ideas. I was surprised to find that the model was actually much better at coming up with gift ideas than I was, given a detailed description of the giftee.

The prompt engineering and result presentation was fun to build out, and I added some additional utilities to the results — quick links to searches on Amazon and an "Open All in New Tabs" button to make it easier to browse potential gifts. I also have some additional features in the works: explanations of why each gift would be good for the giftee, and the ability for the AI to ask additional questions to refine the recommendations (making it a more iterative / chat experience).

I have iOS and Android apps in progress (bless React Native) and hope to improve the make the search smarter down the road by e.g. incorporating product/review data using the new OpenAI embeddings API (maybe in combination with a search-focused database). I'm excited to see what HN gang thinks of my tool and if any last minute gifters like me find it to be a helpful resource for finding holiday gifts this year. Let me know what you think and if there are any other features you'd like to see!

There is still a considerable about directly from fusion e.g. in the Tsar Bomba the fusion stage produced about 47Mt of the 50Mt total (it had two smaller H-bombs as primaries for the fusion stage). The full design was 100+ Mt so about 50% from the final fission stage seems a rule of thumb, which is also mentioned in this article about "neutron bombs":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_bomb

Neutron bombs don't have fissile tampers on the secondary exposing the neutrons from fusion directly rather than using them to fission the tamper.
I think, in terms of the hype, VR was going to be the next big thing in gaming, and then maybe not just gaming after that, but other applications. So I was expecting it to become a required peripheral like a headset or a good mouse & keyboard.

But I don’t feel like I’ve missed anything by not having a VR headset. Like the product direction was very clear for oculus, had lots of buy in from devs… then it was bought by Facebook and became so much muddier. (“We’re going to use it in the meta-verse for boring work stuff” VR will be everything).

You need an exciting killer app for these things and they need to be commodity hardware. I’m guessing the best thing anyone could do for VR is give up all their patents.
