No way in hell was everything we dropped on Mars 100% sterilized: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_artificial_objects_on_...

Also I really don't get this fixation to "not contaminating Mars" - like, why ? Its one of the few usable planets in the Solar System! Of course we will contaminate it all over with life, possibly turn it terrestrial one way or another.

Anyone advocating against using one of the most important next stepping stones for Humanity must really live in a weird bubble.

Sure, pick some Kuiper belt object or some extrasolar planet and declare it a reserve and we will make sure we won't touch it when we get there. But doing the same with Mars is insane and almost seems like some weird irrational religion.
Two important things to note…

1) where power is generated and used for crypto isn’t the same as needed for electric cars. Locations matter when you’re dealing with the creation of and distribution of electricity

2) moving electricity to all of the locations where it will be used is another problem. That deals with transmission lines, transformers, the last mile, and all of that stuff. That we don’t hear about it doesn’t mean it’s not a problem. It is Andy the lack of awareness and planning concerns me.
Almost all healthcare is free, so this is not the main mechanism. If people can't get a GP appointment soon enough, they might turn up at A&E (ER). But mainly, the problem is long-term underfunding and understaffing (exacerbated by Brexit). Check this excellent thread: https://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1606223922474627073
Reminds of me of a relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1172/

Interpretation: A bug causing the CPU to overheat when spacebar was pressed was removed, and of course, one user leveraged this as a feature.

It also prevents transformative derivatives.

Both nontransformative copies and transformative derivative works may meet (in the US) the exception for fair use, which is the usual argument for nonlicensed use in ML training.

> But I would hazard to say that the quality of well written likable music that will stand the test of time and keeps people interested has nose dived with the progression you outlined.

People have felt this way since time immemorial: the music they grew up listening to in their formative years was just better than whatever exists now.

Your dad's dad, or his dad depending on your age, thought that Led Zeppelin was just a bunch of talentless idiots making noise.
Fair point. I have found building deep trust a lot harder remotely. Thinking it through, perhaps its easier to do this 1:1 with everyone in your team, even though it's o(n^2)
Hosts were originally people with spare bedrooms or extra buildings. Now they are “professionals” who consider themselves grindset “investors”. They will squeeze every dollar they can out, and as a result the quality has collapsed while fees and bad experiences have gone up.
Frontend development happens at the tail end of long pipeline of requirements gathering by product and design folks.

To meet the requirements foisted upon them, frontend devs tend to gravitate toward tools and frameworks that allow for maximum flexibility. And greater flexibility comes with greater complexity.

If you looped in frontend devs earlier in the requirements gathering phase, you might be able to (drastically) simplify a lot of the frontend work (e.g. "if we design this UI flow slightly differently it will require way less development"), but I understand this goes against most of the software development best practices which are currently en vogue.
It’s not a silver bullet, but an expanded social safety net would make it significantly less risky to pursue art (or open source software or whatever) as more than just a “nights and weekends” thing.
To be fair, so was the question.

This is a language model, not an oracle or an interface to weather forecast data.
> a relative of mine who got a call from "their bank security" and then were directed to install a "security check app" (remote control tool), and change their password in the banking app

Presumably you want their money to be returned, but would you want the same if it was physical thieves pretending to be the alarm/security company that went in to "repair" the physical safe and made off with all its valuables? Would you still want the money to be returned (ultimately subsidised by all other customers of the bank or the taxpayer) if someone physically withdraws all their money in cash and hands it over to someone who pretends to be a bank employee and has a convincing name tag?

Looking at it from the bank's perspective, the user willingly delegated their identity to the scammer by voluntarily handing over control of their authentication instrument. There is not much the bank can do in this case that wouldn't also hinder legitimate usage - this may have very well been a legitimate transaction for buying a car/house deposit/etc.

FYI, there is recourse against authorised push payment fraud, but it's a goodwill scheme that most banks participate in as opposed to a legally mandated feature. Nevertheless, it's worth trying out.

We're a small (14-person) team of repeat founders and seasoned operators building modern revenue infrastructure for usage-based software. This is a tight-knit and senior crew — almost everyone has 10-25 years' experience, much of it together.

The last company we started, Second Measure (YC S15), scaled to 70+ people and tens of millions in revenue, received multiple “best places to work” awards, and was ultimately acquired by Bloomberg in a landmark deal.

We're looking for extraordinary builders to play a foundational role in a company designed for scale:

- Frontend Technical Lead
- Frontend Engineer
- Backend Technical Lead (data)
- Fullstack Engineer
- others (opportunistic)

We're well-funded by top investors (led by First Round Capital), fully distributed, and known for building intentional, inclusive culture. We offer competitive global rates (SF salary + equity), equal pay by level, work flexibility (including a 4-day core schedule), and comprehensive, family-friendly benefits.

I'm a founder— if interested, apply directly or shoot jobs@ and me (mike@) an email.

> 1. That two-lock physical method is described, which won't work because there is no mathematical operation that can be applied and removed out of sequence like that which is also both not trivial to break/brute-force and doesn't require a pre-shared value which defeats the objective (if you can arrange to securely share that value then you can use that method to share the original secret).

That isn't exactly the issue. The key sharing problem is unavailable in both meat-space and math-space and so is irrelevant in context (it applies just as well to the physical locks). With key sharing not a concern, all you need is for your locks and keys to be commutative. That's easy#1 to do securely.

#1 Basically all "secure" cryptography other than a one-time pad is reducible to a "hard" problem, but last I checked those hard problems may have vulnerabilities we haven't discovered. Nobody has proven any of those techniques actually secure. However, that would be a criticism of all modern cryptography, not just commutative locks.
I've always refused to pay the resort fee and only a single time has the hotel not caved. Course this only works if the hotel isn't sold out.

I tell them its a separate service because not everyone uses it. So if I am not using say the pool or the gym then I shouldn't have to pay it.

The single time I paid the fee was when it included Internet service which I needed. I wrote the CEO of the chain after my stay arguing that charging extra for Internet is like charging extra for electricity or water. Never received a reply.

I am Open Source Developer and Tech enthusiast(My Github profile is https://github.com/varbhat). I am much more of generalist Software Developer having done Backend development(Go,Python and Java), Devops(docker and Kubernetes), Web development (React and Svelte), mobile app development(react native,flutter and kotlin) and thus i think that I will be incredibly useful.

I have developed popular Open Source Cloud BitTorrent Client Application in Golang(and Svelte.js) named exatorrent. It's incredibly popular (1.6+k stars, Half million docker pulls) and many people use it. It uses PostgreSQL/Sqlite as db.

Apart from that, I have developed cloud based downloader in Go which lets you download files in your cloud server. I have also developed HyperUpnp - mobile application which lets you to stream media from one device to another. I used to maintain Docker Image of a distro. I also developed solution that lets you compile for MacOS from Linux without any deps. I had once written transpiler which converts dialect of BASIC to C.

I am also quick learner. I will learn anything that's useful to solve the problem. I am good at programming which is driven by my immense interest towards computing.
I previously thought UK health care was 2-tiered, where people can pay for private health insurance if they so choose and get better treatment than the NHS.

Since getting private cover for myself, I've discovered that it is (at least) 3-tiered; for us plebs who can afford regular health insurance, you get all the inconvenience of dealing with your local GP as a required first-line step, plus all of the bullshit related to dealing with insurance companies who try to weasel out of paying for anything. I assume truly wealthy people get a different, considerably better standard of care and can shrug off the insurance company interaction (or get their staff to do the leg-work).
It seems that the word “privilege” is doing all the heavy lifting here, but it sounds to me like it is a stand in for “having the ability to make anything but the default choice” (to remain in one’s location, in this case).
I'm genuinely curious of Google will allow this to stay up, seeing as saving Meet recordings is a feature that belongs to the paid tier of Meet (Workspace).

Not that they'd probably justify a takedown with that, but more that it could be used to record meeting participants without their consent.

Which is actually a big deal -- all videoconferencing software I'm aware of puts up a big notice and indicator that you are being recorded, and this is for both legal and privacy reasons.

While obviously you could always use any screen recording software (like OBS or even just QuickTime) to secretly record a video meeting... I'm not sure that a tool like this, specifically advertised for recording Meets, is entirely kosher whether legally or according to Meet's TOS. (Of course IANAL.)

If I were you, I'd add ridiculously large multiple disclaimers you have to check and click through to state you agree never to record any meeting participants without their consent. And even with that, I'm not sure how long this will stay up...

But nevertheless, technologically it's a very cool tool, so congrats! :)
I support private police because they insulate my family from others horrible policy choices. Life isn’t something you can retry.

Ask HN: How much productivity do you think is lost by sitting vs. standing?
Spent the last 3 years in home office where I have a standing desk setup. Came into a coworking space today with no standing desks. Feel like I’m half asleep. I can’t be any more than 50-60% as productive as when I was standing!

Crazy that we know sitting is bad for you. How much productivity change, if any, have you felt if you’ve tried switching to stand up work?

Also, what an easy win for a lot of companies, if productivity changes 10-20% plus on standing desks, what an incredible easy boost that is.
The separation of storage and compute is controversial, though it is definitely convenient for cloud operators. It is literally going backward in terms of the available storage bandwidth, and many modern database architectures can very effectively use all the storage bandwidth available in modern systems. There is not enough network bandwidth, and won’t be for the foreseeable future, for running storage over networks to be efficient. Database workloads are also starting to move to edge environments, which make it even worse. The resource mismatch currently leaves a lot of compute sitting idle in practice.

Another issue with this model is that it tends to offer poor ratios of bandwidth to storage size. This is at odds with the desire to run mixed workloads in a single system.

As much as I like these concepts, I'd be hesitant about adding them to the language. At what point does a language support too many paradigms?

In contrast, take the recently stage-3'd Iterator Helpers[0]. These build on top of the language by using methods that already exists in other parts. It feels natural and is more of the same.

> The universe is effectively infinite btw

But we are limited to the part of the universe that we can access.

We've got a single planet we can easily access.

We've got a few more planets we can reasonably access with reasonably foreseeable improvements to our technology.

Past that, unless there are some major fundamental physics breakthroughs, we've got no even remotely plausible way to make use of any resource outside the solar system in any volume that makes a noticeable difference.
I've read it, but it also said that code submissions are kosher, hence my question.
Yep, you can literally open the start menu, connect a fresh (non-Enterprise / Edu / LTSC etc) install to the internet and watch the install stubs for the crap get added in real time. :D
I come from a web dev background, so my opinions are probably suspect, but I’ve tried on a number of different occasions to write an iOS app (or even a simple MacOS app) for learning purposes…

…and I’m honestly surprised that Apple has such a robust developer community and numerous (fantastic) apps for all their various platforms!

Xcode is just a terrible experience all around. I just dread using it.

I’m not sure if things like JetBrains or even VS Code (a glorified text editor… made with Electron, no less) have spoiled me or somehow poisoned my expectations.
Thank you very much for the instruction. It went smoothly. I just had to additionally run

jag setup

which I was clearly told by jag run ...

Very nice experience so far.

One issue I have is that when I use UTF-8 characters in strings they don't show up correctly when the program outputs them to console which also uses UTF-8.

Not sure if I should configure jag somehow to make it work?

With exactly the same setup (editor/console) I have no encoding issues with javascript or python.

What's weirder, console in MINGW64 git bash window (directly, but not through Visual Studio Code) works just fine, even if I launch cmd or powershell in this gitbash window it still works fine.

Switching windows to UTF-8 systemwide through intl.cpl seems to help.

Still weird that other environments don't require this.
While it sucks AirBnB didn’t do anything to help you, I think anyone who goes to a foreign language, third-world country has a responsibility to research relevant laws and have some kind of backup plan when something like this happens.

Tip for the future: buy a good guidebook (or several). They have listings of hotels with price estimates, whether BnB is a good idea or not, and what the legal requirements are how to handle them when things go wrong.

All the more reason to specify. If you're going to disappoint someone no matter what, why not include a single extra digit in your title; to avoid the issue altogether. :)
Even with over 25 years professional experience I still see code where logic and literal constant values (including e.g. complex regular expressions) are duplicated unnecessarily (requiring constant double maintenance etc.) as more of a problem than overly clever ways to reduce repetition that make the code harder to work with.
95% of the time developers can easily save themselves time upfront and in the future by first checking if the logic they're writing already exists in the codebase somewhere and reusing that (usually with very minor refactoring, e.g. marking a function public and moving it into a suitable shared module). Maybe 1% of the time the necessary refactoring is complex enough that it risks introducing bugs or decreasing code comprehensibility and duplicating the logic (ideally with a comment referring to the original source) is the lesser evil.
