I think your concerns are appropriate, but if there are people for whom drug-free practices are too difficult and not working, it might be a good alternative. It's probably better than bariatric surgery.

It's also not necessarily either-or: maybe lower doses might be enough to get someone over a hump or something with exercise and other lifestyle changes. Or some dosing protocol in tandem with other things might allow people to go off the drug eventually. Or maybe not. But it's early and who knows what research will show. Having another option that actually works and isn't harmful is better than not having that option.
I had a couple Cox planes at various times growing up. Starting them was a bear - either I flooded the engine or the battery I had for it was shot. Once I did get the engine running on one and immediately got my fingers bloodied up by the plastic prop.

When I got older I found out there's something called a "chicken stick" that you can use to flip the prop around to start the engine. Too bad Cox didn't include one, ha ha.
My parents keep rice in a 20 gallon metal bucket and it’s just the two of them. It’s gotta hold 100+ pounds of rice.
Here they are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0feR5grSa4 (32 second spot) / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEVjILqU3pU (apparently the UK version of the same commercial).
The coldest view would be the holiday buying surge is over and they can shed some excess to pad that margin until next fall.
The immediate bummer about ChatGPT and its ilk for me isn’t scammers (though I’m sure it’s an issue that will get worse), but… insufferably dull people.

I figured that “old people getting on Facebook” must have been the final Eternal September, but apparently nope. Now, people that otherwise would never post (on social media, forums, etc) due to not having any knowledge or opinion on a given topic have the option of copying and pasting text back and forth to mindlessly farm engagement.

The era of the Ultimate Reply Guy is upon us, and it sucks. In the same way that rickrolling was a substitute for having a sense of humor, “Here’s what the robot says” is a substitute for insight or personality.
For assuming one role it can be up to 12 hours. If you're doing role chaining like the parent mentioned (where the 1st assumed role then assumes a 2nd role) then the maximum session duration is 1 hour. AWS has this documented here:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_te...

> Role chaining limits your AWS CLI or AWS API role session to a maximum of one hour.
It depends on the base contract.

I’ve had both cases, with one company coming up with contract “additions” every now and then with super specific terms, including monetary amounts etc.
The other companies usually had one single broad contract mentioning that any other provisions would be explicited in the company’s general HR policies. The HR policies get regularily revised, and employees didn’t need to sign every single change.

IMO it probably comes down to transparency. The company going the super granular route had many specific clauses negociated at an individual level, and stuff they wouldn’t want to have in a semi-public document any other employees could look at.
> If they are actually going to pay for your time, why just don't take the job?

You probably never received such am offer. It's always in the form of "I bring the idea, you do all the work and, instead of money, you'll receive a ${rand(5,20)}% share of the resulting company!". And if you offer to do the work for money instead, you'll never hear back.

People serious enough to put money behind their ideas won't randomly ping Reddit mods with them.
And not to mention, fun!
This sounds like a classic "it's not a technology problem and technology won't solve it" situation. Synchronize by traditional human-to-human communication and then you both do your preferred method of self-organization independently. If you want to synchronize schedules asynchronously, a paper calendar on a wall in the house should work for that.

If/when you do HASS, make sure that any device that she is affected by (save for the router/hotspot, I guess) can also be controlled and overridden manually with physical buttons without needing her to use a computer or smartphone. If she has any concern about data/privacy which play into this, respect that by self-hosting locally rather than offloading to google calendar et al.

Thank you for this sentence that helps to correct my perspective.
Not everyone is aiming high, some just want to go home and tend e.g. to their garden or walk the dog.
Yeahhh... This is a huuuuuge problem with psychology research already. There are so many studies that get cited in textbooks and influence the training of actual therapists that, if you trace them back, go through a bunch of different references and mayyyybe eventually a small survey or a study of like 34 grad students. But a lot of what gets published is people interpreting things from sources that referenced another source that was created because of some common source.
Some levels of non-compete would be legal according to most people. If you work as a chef at my Mexican restaurant, it seems fair to bar you from opening another Mexican restaurant within say 1 mile. For a year.

Simple, small, limited conditions to stop certain behaviors.

As to why many industry/business non-competes are legal? There’s a good chance they may not be. But until taken to court we don’t really know.

I’d be curious to know why these companies were chosen. Were they especially bad? Or just the companies they had the best evidence against?
Someone please correct me if i'm wrong... but there was a kerfuffle in 2017 about Circle using third-party JS which could be an attack vector: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15442636

To give credence to this, a gitlabber spoke up in that thread, said it was a serious thing and they deliberately had no third-party stuff on their site for that reason.

And I just logged into Circle today, and use the Safari network inspector to see what JS it loads... and it's still plenty of third party stuff that I can see:

* Amplitude
* Segment
* cci-growth-utils
* Statuspage
* DataDog
* HotJar
* Pusher

Not sure if this is an issue, but it doesn't make me comfortable.

Hijab is a stupid relic of a bygone era (Ancient Rome and Mesopotamia) & was also adopted by some Muslim countries.

I’d guess the body image issues & mental health kinda play second fiddle to the fact that in a lot of Muslim countries you can legally beat the shit out of your wife and then rape and impregnate her…

Just as long as that stays in Afghanistan and isn’t imported to the developed world we’re all good lol.

You fat fucks just eat less and go for a walk.
Please try eating only liver, eggs, and ribeye steaks and drinking only water. You can absolutely stuff yourself on this diet and you will nevertheless get in shape. It breaks my heart that people have such an upside down idea about what healthy food is -- people think they should avoid red meat and eat fruits and vegetables and "heart healthy grains" when in fact the only thing they should eat is red meat. It is a tragedy almost beyond description -- there are millions of people in your situation who have been thwarted in their weightless journeys at every turn because we've been getting the wrong information about what food is healthy for us to eat. In addition to losing weight, you will also completely eliminate heartburn. Just try it.
Logic isn’t a popularity contest. The reference showed the usage was the logically flawed usage pattern of the term. You are right that nearly 100% of the term’s usage is the logically flawed one, that doesn’t make it persuasive, exactly the opposite: it’s a discourse red flag.
With industry-wide layoffs, are you really that confident you can find a new job? The hiring process is already a crapshoot, and now you have much more competition.
Look, I understand most of you here are on the employee side, but please try and think through how this works in the real-world. And not for mega-corps, but smaller business who have ~0% chance of litigating a trade secrets case.

There are dozens of small optimizations in my tech that where painstakingly discovered through years of research and iterative improvement. These are not cost-effectively patentable.

Even if you believe the trade secrets 'work' do you think companies are going to document every design of optics, electronics, laser frequencies, rf powers? Then if we did then we'd get a series of posts about how onerous the regular confidential info acknowledgement forms are for the employee.

Not to mention, once it becomes 'commonly known' via disclosure, it may not even be protectable anymore.

Non-competes sidestep all these issues. Sure, if they are overly broad its bad, but they have an important role to play.
The good kind of simplicity is hard. I’ve seen (and built) a bunch of things that were too simple and consequently underpowered for the task at hand[1]. Then there’s the issue of, ok this thing definitely needs to be done; do we do it in this module or in that one? This is all separate from the tendency to conflate simple with what’s easy [2].

Talk the talk, count the cards, do the math, end with sleight of hands. This is extremely amazing.

Right after the guy to his left said 21, Dani made a cut, so Dani knew exactly where the middle of the three cards he gave Alyson was, because he knew how many cards he gave to the two guys on his left and the other guy on his right. Dani made sure Alyson never shuffled her cards and only reversed the order when she put them one by one in the deck.

This is one of those statements that sounds reasonable when its you with your consumer-grade whatever, and has absolutely no relevance to large scale logistics and planning.

I may have a stale understanding of the laws regarding drones in the U.S. But my understanding is they can basically hover around / over your property without your consent.

That's very different from vans driving on public roads and (when I've ordered something) parking in my driveway.
I promise you, the current court would never make that ruling, and may feel that we give too FEW deferences to the logic of our very good corporate overlords.
Known in the US as Creative Labs.

Mercy, those Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live PCI cards (CT4830) were like the default go-to option for everyone for years & years. Every system build got one! They were reasonably priced & considered pretty decent! Motherboards had pretty bad onboard sound if any at all, up until an Nvidia chipset started sometimes having some good implementations (the nForce chipset with integrated SoundStorm, the same DSP-based chipset as on the Xbox, and boasting a very rare Dolby Digital 5.1 encoding capability), so in went a Live! (Value) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster_Live!

I kept my computers in closets & ran extended HDMI & USB extension cable runs to workstations for about a decade, and the Creative Labs X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro (SB1090) and latter X-Fi HD (SB1095) were my go to card for a long long time. Again, cheap-enough, and acceptable DACs.

I am a computer science student at the University of Maryland, College Park graduating in May of this year with a minor in cybersecurity. That being said, I am currently looking for part time opportunities to start immediately and work through the end of 2023.

I am most familiar with Java, Python, and C. In the past I have worked on reverse engineering projects at the John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, developed static analysis tools for Amazon Web Services, performed FPGA security research with Intel Corporation, and so on. I have experience implementing automatic test suites and CI/CD pipelines (using a combination of quickcheck, libFuzzer, GitLab, etc), and I have most often worked in tool development roles.

That being said, I do not have professional experience with front end development, but I am open to all positions. If you are looking for a part-time software developer or reverse engineer, please feel free to reach out!
Jobs paid that money for the business as it was at the time of sale - not for what he wanted it to be in some theoretical future - and he got precisely that. The theft analogy doesn't hold because the deal was completed upon transfer of the organisation. There could be no theft, only the inability to meet the expectations Jobs placed on their employees - for which I'm sure many were fired. That's the only prerogative Jobs purchased when they purchased - and were delivered - ownership of the organisation. That is to say, they bought - and were given - the decision making power over who to hire or fire and for what reasons. Nothing more, nothing less.

Incidentally, part of making an updated employment agreement binding is consideration (such as a raise). Just telling you to sign something out else you're fired is harder to enforce.
HN on sparsity:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32925164
Agreed. I work for a privately held company and am a bit less jaded about it. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think the company is my friend or anything… but I know how much the owner hates layoffs on an emotional level and have seen the company do things like shifting everybody to 4.5 day weeks temporarily to avoid the need for layoffs. So I respect that.
No email? I found out about this from a random HN post?
I wouldn't dismiss everyone as grifters though. Every now and then it's not the guy with the idea who just needs someone to implement it, but it's actually someone who got lucky in something previously and has resources.

That's why I say do it if they are actually going to pay for your time. I don't know if anyone ever falls to the guy with idea but no resources and no expertise to do it themselves anyway?
I'm in this boat too. AI/ML until 2021 and then switched to see if there was anything to this blockchain thing.

Let's just say I much prefer the AI/ML community. The culture there was open to new ideas but wanted to see evidence things worked (leaving aside attention seeks like Gary Marcus). Blockchain is all hype and attacking people who ask questions (although the zero-knowledge community is pretty good).
It’s pretty late, so I might be missing something. However, neither of those groups seems to be releasing netflix content?

The first does bluray remuxes on HDB (a private tracker). I don’t think they directly release anything on public trackers.

The other did a bunch of 360p porn uploads in 2019.
Great, thanks for the add
Arguable, but I don't think it's a slam dunk that replacing the multimillenial standard interface for connected text (ie. text!) with an entirely novel chain of multiple artificially separated UI widgets is either tangential or just to do with 'format'. Personally I won't read them, so at a minimum these links when unidentified merely waste my time, and presumably that of other irritated commenters here. Maybe they should be identified. My personal preference would be a large red banner with a phrase like ("Warning: this is not a real piece"). But a small less tendentious icon would also be fine!
"Amazon's income dipped toward the end of 2022 as the economy took its toll. The tech giant spent billions doubling the size of its fulfillment network during the pandemic, a play that served it well initially but that proved to be short-sighted.

Amazon was forced to shut down or delay plans for over a dozen facilities as e-commerce sales last year grew slower than expected. Another headwind - soaring energy prices - impacted Amazon's business in a major way, with the company's spending on shipping climbing 10% to $19.9 billion in Q3 2022.

To cut costs, Amazon plans to reduce its workforce in early 2023, reportedly by as much as 10,000 employees."

https://techcrunch.com/2023/01/03/amazon-secures-8b-loan-ant...

"In October, Amazon disappointed Wall Street with a holiday season forecast that woefully missed analysts' expectations. The company's stock fell about 50% last year.

Like Jassy, a number of other tech founders and CEOs have since admitted they failed to accurately gauge pandemic demand."

https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/04/business/amazon-layoffs/index...

May 15, 2021 - "The question, in view of these results, is what kind of world we are heading for after the pandemic. The company's vision points to a major consolidation of e-commerce as we adopt new habits brought about by the pandemic, to the point of becoming a trillion-dollar industry in the United States."

Just eat only liver, eggs, and ribeye steaks -- you can absolutely stuff yourself and you will lose weight. The problem is that as a society we are sending the wrong message about what healthy food is -- nothing from a plant is really good for humans to eat. A diet of only red meat, however, will not only get you in phenomenal shape, but it will also clear up a dozen other major and minor health issues. It is the perfect human diet and it is a tragedy that this is not understood.

Thanks for the reference. I have read Enoch 1 and it is a wild story that in my view is pure fantasy (e.g., giants were 300 cubits tall!?). I have always just assumed that Jude and Peter were quoting some authentic version from earlier and the version I have read was the creation of an imposter.
Mostly agree here. I don't think in practice, you'd default want to use HTTP/3. I think as technology, it's still just very immature for reasons you mentioned.

In our case though, lots of our customers and lots of use cases do communicate over a WAN, and potentially large geographic distances. I think having this as an option is super interesting to see what we can do with it in the future.

> This is about people downloading torrents from public trackers.

No. all lawsuits are about uploading. The nature of BitTorrent is that typically every file you download is also being uploaded at the same time and it's the uploading (the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted works) that gets people in trouble, not the downloading.

As I said, they're very much still suing people for uploading. Public trackers are the low hanging fruit, but when a private tracker gets raided they'll jump at the chance.

> What these law firms definitely don’t care about is going after uploaders, that would obviously ruin their business model.

The RIAA/MPA have zero concerns that they're going to run out of people to sue.
It will never happen. Their goal however, believe it or not, really is to try to slow down internet piracy though. Right now, their largest cash cow is at the ISP level, where they intend to force ISPs to permanently disconnect pirates from the internet and never allow them to have another account after nothing more than repeated and unproven claims that an infringement took place. If they wanted pirates to continue so they could drag them into court rooms they wouldn't bother with these "repeat offender" suits which will effectively cut people off from the internet entirely since people have limited options for ISPs.
It’s brake, not break. As in the amount of HP available at the brakes after all transmission/diff/etc losses are taken into account which doesn’t even really apply to electric vehicles.

They aren’t looking hard at all. If you just had a super capacitor bank to capture regen, all the energy from the stop and go could be retained and they could probably run the truck on the batteries that they are currently saying last only 4 hours.
Do you have a tldr? I see its stated technical goal of maintaining a small blockchain, but what’s it for? It has a token so is it meant to be money? Is it a web3 app chain?

The fact that there was an initial presale makes it sound like a private company. Which is a lot different than Bitcoin so I’m not sure the comparison.
“A large proportion of pedophilic relationships is incestual” is not the same as “a large proportion of incestual relationships is pedophilic”
You're strictly correct, but I made some simplifications that I think are appropriate and avoid the whole semantic mess of what "authenticity" means. Secure provenance is usually a sufficient condition to establish authenticity for archaeologists anyway.

> People are genuinely excited about ChatGPT

Are you kidding me? The movement of people like me who are deeply skeptical about the benefits of generative AI and place them in similar categories of "potentially hazardous to society" inventions like drugs, weapons, etc. is alive and well. We're genuinely fearful that there are folks out there who apparently aren't aware of the severe legal and cultural minefields that these sort of unregulated tools present. I haven't the slightest doubt that, now that we're seeing the collapse of "web3" nonsense/blockchain apps/cryptocurrencies/etc., there's a wealth of grifters looking for their next score and "AI" is the obvious successor.
I thought product teams were responsible for that. Engineers just do.

Simple growth does not indicate that Amazon's quarterly reports are "all good" - Amazon like all other companies are valued based on their future earning potential. Amazon in particular has given very soft revenue and growth guidance compared to what they were earlier expecting, hence, they are one of the worst performing tech stocks right now. In absolute terms, both Amazon and Apple are first place for evaporating 800 billion dollars in market cap EACH over the last year.

Amazon in particular has a longstanding problem of ops costs rising quickly giving the constant potential to eat into profit margins. If a company does not have a path to profitability, at the scale to justify it's market cap, it will continue to lose investor money.

TL:DR; - reducing an earnings report to "sales grew, all good" is wildly misleading.
