I mean, yes, I know some people who would screw up installing a faucet, but most people are competent enough to follow instructions and not flood their house.

Does the difference in quality justify paying someone $150 to install a $50 faucet? Personally, I don't think so, but YMMV.

The only reason the US has its tech industry is:

- lax laws for everything: from data protection to labor laws

- unlimited investor money that can sustain unprofitable businesses for decades Most of the top HN darling have never been profitable, and have been losing billions of dollars for years. The rest haven't been profitable for most of their existence

On top of that it helps to have a huge largely homogenous market
The Turbo button did exist on processors that ran over 4.77 MHz of the original 8086. I had a Turbo button on the 9.54 MHz 8088, also on the 386 DX/40 (lowering the frequency to 8 MHz IIRC), it was not specific to 486. Actually the 486 was the last CPU that had that button, I think.
What's the rate of false positives? Would like to see a peer-reviewed article of the most advanced recognition models. Simply put - no matter the accuracy, you'll only have some type 2 errors, and hence a journalist will be able to write an anecdotal story about the injustice that a improperly identified person faced. All processes (criminal justice or otherwise) have error rates - yet not all anecdotal stories are covered. There is typically a straw-man argument that facial recognition is not accurate enough to be used - but I've never seen an argument why the models cannot be improved to the point where they are extremely accurate.

The result should not be to ban facial recognition, it should be to have an expeditious process to recognize and compensate people who have been identified in error.
At least in the UK, this is why learner drivers have a clear sign on the back of the car ("L"), and people who have only just passed their test are encouraged to display a similar sign ("P").

I don't have any family history of psychosis, but I'll definitely watch out for it. My plan for things going wrong was to take a benzo, use a weighted blanket and have soothing music until it kicks in. Possibly also something like trazodone to abort the trip.

> They know how much to bill the customer

I don't mean to do Twilio's work of defending them, but in my experience it's possible they actually don't know how much to bill the customer. What they may know is the generalized per-minute or per-session rate they've agreed with another operator alongside a general "premium rate numbers will be settled at a later date" kind of clause.

My employer got bit by this several years ago, purely on calls within the +1 country code. Before this practice was largely banned, some small carriers were allowed to designate certain rate centers as higher cost. So our VoIP carrier would say that a call to a given area code was $0.003/minute but the calls would later settle out at $0.25/minute because of a 1,000s block of numbers being (unknowing to us our our carrier) as higher cost and being settlement billed back at the higher rate.

Twilio could agree to carry some or all of this risk for its customers as part of their value-add and fees. That way, Twilio has the incentive to make the proper changes for its customers and would have the experience of looking at all of the return billed rates for all of the calls or messages across its entire customer base to help prevent toll fraud.
I had a company that had a very vague noncompete. As worded it could be 'Anything, everywhere'. I asked about it and was told 'Yeah,but we never enforce that.' I wanted to work for the company, but that was a full stop. I hired a lawyer a friend recommended. He went over it and confirmed I should be concerned if I did anything outside of work that could create IP that I might want to sell later. He drafted some new language that confined the noncompete for me to industry and specific region for 1 year only, that everything I working on outside of work and on my own resources outside of that industry was mine, as well as some set-asides that clearly noted work I had been working on before coming on and we're my own work. It cost me a little under $1k

If you are going for a job that pays $100k or more, get a lawyer (ideally a lawyer in your sector) to look over your employment contract, NDA, Non-compete, etc. It is worth every penny, in my opinion.

I think the main objection I remember seeing was around exclusive games, with the rest of the complaints being largely nitpicking. (Which I get. Having to remember which launcher I need to run to find a game I want to play is a pain, albeit very much a first world problem.)

> have you _ever_ bought more than one item from Steam at once, not counting game-and-DLC

Yes. Generally during sales, admittedly, when I'll sometimes pick up a few games at once. As I recall it felt a bit strange that Epic lacked it, because they were promoting themselves at launch with a lot of heavy sales, which really maximized the odds that someone might want to pick up a few games at once.
> have you _ever_ bought more than one item from Steam

Last weekend, I keep a wishlist and check it when sales happen.

Nothing personal against epic (I like the freebies), just not a fan of exclusives.

Plus I leave steam open in background, epic I have to open and wait for a 100+ MB update (crap internet around here).
Bases on my investigations, it's been dropping all UDP datagrams.
Depends what you mean by "premium rate." Every number costs money to call in Twilio. Some numbers cost more, in lots of these frauds numbers in ordinary ranges are used (Is a rural number in Chile that costs $0.20/minute to call premium rate/fraud? Because that's what it looks like a lot of the time. How about $0.05 a minute in Austria?). IRSF, the industry term for this kind of fraud causes billions in losses a year and there is no easy answer but Twilio should probably have more infrastructure in place to reduce massive surprise bills.

I don't think it's quite as bad as you're saying, because reaching to the other chiplet for L3 isn't terrible in latency compared to hitting "close" L3. So probably the higher boost cores win overall in either case.
You can download phone prefixes with prices from them, and also set max price for an SMS (won't work if they charge just a little amount and you send thousand requests of course).
Well... on the mountains, you have transportation costs, and also environmental impact statements and lawsuits. And it's going to be harder to go clean them from time to time.

One thing is that KSP uses manual staging, so timing of engine burns kind of matter. Is there features in vanilla KSP to automatically trigger staging?

Noncompetes in any form should be illegal, in my opinion. They are a form of intellectual slavery - saying the company owns my mind and my mental work products.
My general argument for not liking it when publishers force an alternative game platform goes like so: I don't want to support companies making me install and sign up for a zillion different software distribution platforms. I like steam, it works great and I think they give a pretty decent revenue split to creators and are overall not an obviously unethical POS company. As long as they keep that up I jsut want to use steam because it makes my life easier.
I somehow thought that IDA Free was missing the decompiler, but I just downloaded 8.2.221216 macOS x86_64 and while it did a much better job at identifying the symbols in the rust binary, regrettably it then consumed 100% of the CPU and effectively locked up. So ... better, I guess? :-/

Well, first, sanctions aren't the same as export restrictions. America can account for NODs sold in America, they can ask vendors who they've sold them to, they get signed statements from anyone who buys one that they can't be exported, but that's not something America can do in France.
Facebook uppercase “i” Bug?
I don't know if anyone noticed it, but for a few days Facebook has had a strange bug (or what?)

If retail stores are making record breaking profits, why are service workers paid so little? If medical costs are so high, why aren't nurses and nurse aids making more?

It's not rocket science. People aren't getting paid for the value of their labor, and productivity has rocketed up while wages have stagnated for decades. Your plumber charges 200 an hour and doesn't make anywhere near that much, because they work for a company who profits massively off their labor and exploits him as far as the law and supply and demand will allow.
What does this do? Is this a distributed database management system (DBMS) for currency, e.g. you send it entries to append or queries to read entries or balances, and that's what it does fast?

> Nobody in the west is currently using "more than their fair share" in terms of uranium or lithium, except maybe EV owners :D

The rest are just using 100x their share of the sustainable GHG emissions budget, and the wealthiest 1% or so in the west are using so much energy that just the waste heat from thermal generation is enough to provide an unsustainable amount of thermal forcing were everyone to use the same amount.

> Uranium is completely underused because of the irrational fearmongering since the 70s, which is the reason we have the global warming problem to begin with. If we'd gone all-in on nuclear, we'd be practically carbon zero now.

Is this some kind of bad take olympics? The current existing and planned reactor fleet will use all of the economically accessible uranium in a generation or two and will ravage vast areas of kazakhstan, namibia, and australia in doing so. And that's to make a couple % of final energy. There's not even a single fuel load to fully replace fossil fuels for 6 years.
Is this workload really CPU bound at all?
I was looking for a link I know exists about this. Do you happen to know the very long article, or maybe book that was written about this topic?
To expand on the point, /usr still has to support the shared NFS mount model that has mostly been irrelevant for 20 years, the old perl alternatives was partially written to deal with that case.

I am pretty sure python2-minimal still triggers update alternatives to support that shared filesystem model.

Putting the named links in /etc allows for local configuration and keeps links DAGs

But then I felt like I should rescue him, so ended up going on the even harder mission of bringing him back home, which required being able to land and then take off and make it back, as well as landing in a specific spot on the planet vs just landing anywhere.
Have you got a bingo card with obsolete reactionary arguments you're trying to fill out?

In addition to all the storage options (which are also better than curtailment for inflexible high capital generation such as nuclear), you put the electrolyser for the steel and fertilizer and ships and big trucks between the generator and the grid connection.

> It’s what you do to seem agreeable and pleasant.

It’s also highly cultural and differs depending on context. Something which is nice in one culture or context could be outright offensive in a different culture or context. Even if you are not traveling to another country, you can be shocked by the different ideas about how people should behave if you travel.

For example, someone from California could come to New York. Both are coastal, wealthy states in the US that vote Democratic. The Californian will think, “Geez, New Yorkers are so rude! They don’t say ‘hi‘ or ‘please excuse me’ or ‘thank you’.” Meanwhile, someone from New York goes to California and thinks, “Geez, Californians are so rude! They are passive aggressive, get in your way, and waste your time!”

It’s really just a difference of ideas about how people should behave. New Yorkers aren’t rude, despite the reputation. Californians aren’t rude either. They just have different ideas about what “rude” means. Californians will say all sorts of nice things to you to try and make you feel comfortable. New Yorkers will help you carry your luggage up the subway stairs without saying a word. Different worlds, different ways of behaving.

Any effort to moderate a forum like HN is going to run face-first into the problem of enforcing one set of standards consistently to people who are from not only both New York and California, but every other part of the world. It would be unreasonable to try and take one culture (like SF Bay area culture, since YC is based there) and enforce it on the forum, since you can’t reasonably expect everyone to be familiar with that culture’s norms.

The way you solve it is by using a looser set of standards that a broader set of people can agree on, and letting comments slide even if they don’t match what is seen as polite in your own culture. Postel’s law and all that.

If somebody says something like “Add [2014] to title.” you can only interpret it as “not nice” if you judge it against some specific cultural norm, like a California cultural norm. That’s not a good way to judge comments on HN, because HN gets comments from all over the world—and if you, for example, judge it from a New York cultural norm, you’d say “This person is being polite by getting to the point and not wasting my time.”

You can use different browser profiles to silo the various google services into profile instances with appropriate permissions (i.e. /usr/bin/firefox -P locationAllowedProfile ...) while keeping your usual profile's permissions locked down (or on mobile use different browser installs to accomplish the same thing, I guess.)

Not sure whether Firefox's containers could be used like this, but if not then it presents a decent use-case for implementing independent container permissions IMO.
