I think a good data engineer should incorporate some basic data analysis into their toolkit. This is what analytics/BI developers do all day everyday. Data Engineers need to do this whenever they create a new dataset.

It's not hard to pick up this skillset, and this sort of analysis doesn't take a lot of time, and it will make you a really good Data Engineer.
So you’re endorsing Many Worlds with an appeal to the anthropic principle. That’s fine, but you do have to assume MWI is the true interpretation of the mathematical formalism.
WordPress is a confusing example because they have self hosted (.org) and fully managed (.com) versions.

Not as far as I'm aware, it is a very pure aluminum layer. The real weak spot is the edge of the sandwich, especially if there is some form of thermal cycling, that can cause delamination to a degree that it will let a little bit of air in. Maybe I'm mixing up CD-R and CD-RW? The effect of corrosion on silver would be much the same as with Aluminum though, the silver would lose its reflective capabilities and that would show up as data corruption. I'd definitely still go with the gold version.

If you're currently making $200 a share, why would you risk your $200 profits to chase another $30 to $40 bucks/share?

I say, just take your win and go home. Close out your short and buy yourself a nice dinner. You deserve it.

EDIT: Maybe hold onto a few shorts for fun. But if you're already winning this hard, you really should just take profits. Its not like you can get much more profits out of this.
A few years back (peak-Covid) I was working for a company helping with temp staffing. It was shocking to me to see the operational expectations for low-wage labor. Clients would pay absolute minimum wage or maybe a dollar/hr more for all sorts of roles then be dumbfounded that workers were flaky.

An airport subcontractor came to us having issues with getting enough baggage workers. Issue was they paid minimum wage, were located 30 minutes outside the city, and there was no public transport. There was no way for the workers to get to the job! The narrative was "these worker are so untrustworthy/lazy/full of excuses." So they would pay a 50% to an agency hoping gig-contractors could save them on single-day contracts rather than just putting that money to better wages or transit perks.

Contempt really does describe the management attitudes I ran into.
>However if some 0-day, no interaction browser exploit does exist, it's easier to put the exploit on the some lookalike phishing domain rather than additionally exploit some mainstream site.

If you read through stuff like the security updates for new iOS version it becomes clear that this does exist at all times. Usually most of them are likely not even not found by attackers before they're fixed, but you can never be sure. Every browser has innumerable undiscovered vulnerabilities that at any time could be discovered and exploited by an attacker. Discovering this is hard and they don't show up all that often, but you never know, even some random ad could pwn you.
Are you sure, I can’t seem to see any inputs on the pin outs given at for example at https://md.railgun.works/index.php?title=VDP#Pinout - there’s definitely an ROUT, GOUT and BOUT, but no RIN etc.

They could be using the digital pixel bus that the Model C uses to get more colours from the VDP than a Megadrive, and merging that with other data streams from other video chips ala Supergrafx???

Its interesting though that the Megadrive VDP has features like the pixel bus and extra VRAM support to let them use the chip in arcade machines without some of the limitations the home system has because of cost.
Business value trumps tech issues/nice solutions/priorities/etc every time. Or put an other way: the guy paying for the party decides what goes and doesnt go, regardless of how technically correct you are (or how correct your technical argument is). To put it bluntly, most of the time the message will be: “F your tech debt and long term considerations, just deliver business value in the short run.”.. just delivered in nicer wording.

HOWEVER here is the epiphany. All of the above talk comes from the “business side” and they only speak business language. You speak the tech language which the business people do not understand (and thus you can get the last word on tech things). If you learn to speak the business language then you will be in the unique situation of speaking both tech and business, and you can use that to frame and control talks with the business people. That will enable you to steer the “all mighty - value now” people into decisions that incorporate tech concerns without them explicitly knowing this, enabling you to deliver value in a way that also allows you to provide your team with an environment where they can do great tech things. That will keep your team happy and delivering which will keep the business happy with your team.

The bonus epiphany is: This is not even a bad thing for the business or misleading, since baking due and proper tech cosiderstions into business prioritization and decisions will benefit the business in the long run. They’ll just never realize it.

Show HN: Merry Sky, Dark Sky replacement and merry-timeline open source lib
Hello HN,

This is a website I worked on during the holidays to fill the void of the upcoming dark sky shutdown. For me, the precipitation timeline was a view I was heavily relying on for everyday activities and planning. I had not found any replacement from the various weather apps. When I found pirateweather.net as a backend API, it gave me the motivation to put the pieces together and get back the experience I enjoyed. I then added more functionalities that I think was missing from the website such as a weekly chart view. I've been using the website reliably over christmas holidays. Hope you enjoy it too!

Also I open sourced the visual component for drawing the precipitation timeline and you can use it for drawing weather information or any other hourly activities really https://github.com/guillaume/merry-timeline

Interested in your feedback!

“Keeping plastic out of landfill” has become the goal of environmentalists.

But why?

Waste plastic belongs in landfill.

It’s crazy to try to address the plastic waste problem by keeping it in the environment, as though “it’s useful so it’s OK” makes sense.

Artwork such as this is not just important from an artistic perspective, it's important from an archeological, historical, and paleontological perspective. There is a lot we have learned from ancient rock art and probably a lot that we have yet to learn. For example, by exampining the kinds of animals in ancient cave paintings paleontologists have been able to learn certain details about the appearance and behavior of now extinct megafauna.
Yeah, if it was 2x or 3x Ford, I'd consider it a stronger buy. I think the real test will not be its P/E, but how the other big car companies debut their EV and driver-assist (or driverless) tech. It just feels like Tesla is still the market leader in that tech. If someone else beats them at that game, it would not be good for their stock price.

But, conversely, if they stay on top, maybe that high valuation will stick around.

Ask HN: How do you get into the right headspace to think deeply?
it's like I need to hit some sort of trifecta to be able to do it these days: slept really well, no ongoing issue, nothing sad happened recently, something insightful was noticed, free time....etc.

I remember around age 10-16 this was my default state, I could think about things so deeply anytime anywhere, to point I'd be looking at someone not even know.. or just looking at clouds and get lost deep into thoughts and have epiphany half an hour later....

I admit age wasn't the only thing different between then and now, I hadn't discovered reddit, didn't use youtube much, only played video games around 8pm for 2 hours, had very consistent schedule, had far fewer responsibilities, and things always looked up and up in sense there was lot of hope and potential, future seemed brighter. I guess reflecting back I can see my mind was much more free of distractions. (social media, news, entertainment, etc) :/

Possibly using something comparable to the German Flaschenpfand[1] system? I'm unsure of how to develop a suitable packing system that would be machine-friendly, possibly wooden crates packed with shredded cardboard packing. The lid could be press-in cardboard, something like that used in tinfoil food storage boxes, but reliant on the cardboard bending to get past the lip and into the region where it is secured. Alternately, a suitable slide-in wooden lid with a stopping peg inserted and sealed with a wax-type substance could be used (as per [2], with the addition of a sealing peg setup). Sealing wax would probably be used in the cardboard variant also.

Regarding the part of post I think you're responding to (Oracle will keep an utterly obscure port of the core database product alive for a single customer if they're paying enough money, or at least that is the way it was 20 years ago), it certainly does seem possible the attitudes changed at Oracle in 2009. In a short timeframe Oracle bought Sun Microsystems, a hardware competitor to Itanium, and Red Hat (whose Linux distribution Oracle clones) announced they would not support Itanium in their next enterprise Linux release.
I concur very much. HN is the only social media I use these days, after cutting reddit and others nearly a decade ago. I have had to set up blockers for the comments section, to limit my time, as I end up spending far too much time here. Even so, did I really need to spend the last few hours learning about corner-locked land, southwest's canceled flights, new rust features, wifi DFS, anecdotes about electric vehicles in winter, etc?

On the flip side, without HN, my life would be totally different. I likely would not have pursued the much higher paying job I have now. My enthusiasm for technology and software would not be as high, seeing the many ways tech is used here. I would not be aware of meditation, notion, chatgpt, ml, postgres, cloud, rust go, wait but why, the inner platform effect, and so much else. For better or worse, HN shapes my outlook on the world. Is knowing all this worth the time spent, or is seeking knowledge simply addictive? I don't know.

Good point! It seems like part of the article was incompletely plagiarized from https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S187802961...

Incineration of plastic waste in an open field is a major source of air pollution. Most of the times, the Municipal Solid Waste containing about 12% of plastics is burnt, releasing toxic gases like Dioxins, Furans, Mercury and Polychlorinated Biphenyls into the atmosphere. Further, burning of Poly Vinyl Chloride liberates hazardous halogens and pollutes air, the impact of which is climate change. The toxic substances thus released are posing a threat to vegetation, human and animal health and environment as a whole.

So if the study is on municipal solid waste overall, being burned in a pit, it's probably not very relevant to burning plastics by themselves. Municipal waste contains all sorts of things you wouldn't want to burn, like phones, batteries, fluorescent light bulbs etc.
My protocol is:
1) clear your mind
2) prime your mind
3) flow your truth

1. Clear your mind

Spend 30 minutes meditating, preferably first thing when you wake up.

Pick something that works for you. A simple practice:
• Allow whatever happens to happen
• When you notice you are trying to control your attention, drop that intention

2. Prime your mind

Spend 30min reading or listening to high-quality content. I like listening to great spiritual teachers and philosophers. In any case, pick something that your interest is drawn to. Make it BIG and not empty calories.

3. Flow your truth

30-60min of writing. Let it flow.

Bonus points for publishing your writing - it will add sharpness and clarity to your thinking.

Also consider walking. I find I get many of my epiphanies lately when I'm walking the dogs in the evening. I take type notes or voice notes on my phone.
It works so well b/c people are ignorant of the past. If you copied your last sentence to anyone who rails on trans people with crazy comparisons, their response would be "huh"

I am with you. Obviously, it would be better if it had not happened from our perspective, but I am not going to lose any sleep over it. Visitors to the caves 30,000 years ago defaced the natural beauty. It is reveled and studied today. The parents or elders might have castigated them for vandalizing sacred grounds or admonished them for wasting time with such worthless endeavors. Today, we do the same.

Banksy largely gets a pass and is celebrated. In 1,000 years or 50, someone might be selling this new imagery on a t-shirt.

I found a fossil upper palate and strange humanoid teeth in Ohio during my teens. Sadly, it is lost forever. Considering it might be a rarity here and possibly significant to science, I wish it had never disappeared. I occasionally lose sleep over that. It meant something to me. That cave art means something to others. I can empathize in that context.
If you wanna eat a bullet that's your initiative.

My issue is when the medical system, which has a pretty crap track record when it comes to dealing with people who's suffering is curable, starts offering suicide to people as an out. These institutions can't put people on the right pills and we're supposed to trust them to suggest (or not) that people end their lives? Not to mention the perverse financial incentive it creates to give people who need expensive care crap care and generally drag feet hoping they choose the out.
Just garden variety idiocy.
Urgent care facilities typically have less than a 2 hour wait time in every place in the US I've been, and cost about $0-60 per visit depending on insurance.

Scheduling is not an issue, and there is no need to waste an ED's time on such things. Some urgent care spots specifically have a "doctors note" service.

It doesn't make the policy any better (I've worked such jobs), but I don't think there is a need to exaggerate how the process works in real life.
