I started playing guitar at around age 15 just by myself. I met a friend in my chemistry class who taught me about the Beatles. I got super obsessed with them and really wanted to play their songs. Got a guitar and never thought twice about what I should play. It was always , all Beatles all the time. I loved it. I was hooked.
That taught me the basic chords, barre chords, some soloing etc. Lots of great songs from beginner to advanced.

Then one day, my cousin bought me a discography CD pack of Rush CDs. I heard Fly By Night and I knew I HAD to learn to play it.
That resulted in about a five year streak of obsessive Rush disorder. I was again, hooked. Now on more advanced music. I wanted to learn all the songs.
I even formed a little tribute band with a few other people.

Now, I have a classical guitar sitting next to the couch and I sometimes come and sit and just noodle around. Just enjoy the sounds, the feel of the strings against my fingers, the satisfaction of discovering an assembly of notes to play that sound special.

It's been about 15 years now. Not once did I think I needed to learn something on the guitar because somebody told me I had to. I always learned something in pursuit of learning the next song.
Just for anyone reading this: there is no safe way to de-fang html with a blacklist. You can only safely allow certain tags and attributes. Many people have fallen on this sword.
Why would the ex-worker disclose it? Are there many known cases of this happening? Also, I think founder- or exec-level employees probably have a different hiring experience than J Random Line Worker, regardless of past litigation history.
The OP is suggesting that there was no actual pay for that notice period.
You can’t fit enough ads in 13 minutes to justify the education expenses.
I'd be curious as to what the effects would actually be on you (though I agree that it seems at best useless and potentially harmful for you). Would your weight zone shift downwards, or would it do nothing?
> macOS has some really exceptional internationalization.

Ubuntu is pretty good on that aspect as well, that's why I prefer it for my parents compared to Windows which is spotty in a lot of places. As an example "Windows Update" isn't translated and does not mean anything in a foreign language.
I don't, unfortunately, that's above my paygrade ;-). It's likely going to be a function of the larger hiring situation at Amazon (we're currently in a corporate hiring freeze), rather than something Prime Air specific.

Sounds like you've got a perfect background for Prime Air though! Hopefully we'll be hiring again sometime this year - feel free to reach out (email in profile) if you want to chat more about it.
I like the concept of AGI-hard and the characterization of the common traps of AI productization feels accurate.

One shortcoming of the analogy is that we have methods to prove when a problem is NP-hard. Are there ways to prove a problem is AGI-hard? Can it even be rigorously characterized? Relying on someone asserting it on Twitter feels unsatisfying (e.g. how accurate would experts have been at predicting the current capabilities of AI if you asked them 10 years ago? I think not very).
A bit of a shameless plug for a relevant Terraform module I made (specific to GitHub in this case): https://github.com/unfunco/terraform-aws-oidc-github
Not a good idea. Some people are underweight or normal weight, or want to get stronger by lifting weights. Also, it's an injected drug.

I got the hardware in hand. Did you need to connect a UART in order to flash OpenWRT? Any tips or links you can recommend would be appreciated.
Kinda confused if we're talking about Tailwind here, it's basically the same markup as Bootstrap or whatever would be. Ironically, markup is why I still prefer Bootstrap in 2023, because there's React/Vue/Svelte component libraries for it, and components are single tags: <Card>, <Alert>, whatever.
If you define advertisements as quality information google definitely wins out. I wouldn’t use either to learn something unless you’re interested in buying what their advertisers and their SEO results are selling.
What I think is also very important is to have a love of music. Have a band you really like. Have a bunch of songs you really want to learn to play.
Playing an instrument takes just as much listening as playing.
Agreed, Elon was probably just looking for some attention, thought it would be fun to watch people run around for a week, and instead painted himself into a corner where he was forced to buy Twitter. What I wonder about are all the financiers that went in with him on the deal. It’s their money he is throwing away with his shenanigans, you think they would be a lot more vocal and upset.
Credentials aren’t everything but at the least I want someone to be in the field doing things in practice (research or patients) everyone else including me should shut up otherwise.
He bought twitter and attempted a refund
20? At this rate I would've thought 5 lol. Inflation is also going up.
i hadn't thought about that; it seems especially important given that they're talking about kilowatt power levels and macroscopic wavelengths, so a nice piezo probably won't cut it

how did you source the high cycles driver, what was it made of, and how much did it cost
The topic of this conversation is about how web3 and crypto are separate.

Are you saying that my being skeptical of crypto means I’m biased against web3?

How could that be the case if they’re unrelated concepts?

Also lol at digging through my post history instead of talking about the topic.

Yep, serial killers and such are cool, it is just blind statism led by all the sheeple that they're going to be locking up that Idaho murder guy. I am very contrarian and counterintuitive.

I would claim the bias isn't the problem, the incompetence is. The users of the system have no idea what the system actually is for, let alone how it works.
A BG check would show that as they are public record. One option is to threaten a lawsuit and then hope to settle for a smaller amount.
As always, what can't be done is shrinking.
A high profile situation like this might be a different case. If this is happening to many former employees, and it reaches class action, then there will be a lot of press about the subject. You wouldn't have to explain why you brought the lawsuit, and everyone would have an understanding of the situation.

What's the point of being able to free to file a lawsuit if you practically can't?

What would you think of someone that wouldn't fight for themselves when they were lied to and cheated?
I don't expect the post to be killed.

I don't really see Twitter use going down much which means revenue can likely stay as is at 5 billion annually and likely grow over time. Cut out 80% of the costs and a 50 billion price tag isn't that farfetched. It's possible to recoup the cost within 10 years by increasing revenue only 20% and keeping costs low. He could have done this without being a total dick about it though. It's the billionare equivalent of being penny wise but pound foolish. Why take the hit from public opinion when it's gonna negatively effect your other brands? Just dumb execution.
"A few" undersells the scale of DSNY's operation. They've already got a few hundred specialized salt/plow trucks on top of the thousands in the mixed garbage truck fleet, and a couple dozen snow melters, about 80 dump trucks, and a few hundred front-end loaders. They recently bought about 50 narrow plows just for bike lanes and bridge sidewalks.

After heavy snow are mostly plowed, its a very common sight on busy city blocks to see snow hauling/removal and melting happening overnight.

Its just that nothing related to their snow removal obligations is small stuff.
What about the filenames tells you that?
Possibly because of the amount of pressure that the parents put on the children. Just because the parent likes music doesn't mean that the kid has to like music too.

As a result of this, the child will end up having a hatred towards the musical form and will never even try to give 100%, and without trying no-one can know that they have talent.

A solution to this would be to make it only optional - but then again there'd be the lazy talented ones who don't want to try anything

How do you know?
“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal loaves of bread”

One of the things I've learned from Ken White (aka Popehat) is that the more a behavior is something only a rich or powerful person might do, the more flexible the laws. E.g., tax fraud is a "specific intent" crime, where they have to prove that your intention was tax fraud. Or we can look at how wage theft is treated vs the same amount of normal theft.
Assuming California... Upon termination of employment by the employer, final wages are due immediately with some exceptions not relevant here; and if not, wages continue as a penalty until the situation is resolved or 30 days, whichever is shorter. If you quit, final wages are due in 72 hours or on your last day, whichever is later.

There's also some notice requirements under unemployment law for any termination by the employer, but I'm not sure if those have penalties. There's also the WARN act requirements.
Investigating wether manuscripts or inscriptions might by forgeries is a common taks in philology. There are a lot of them. "Good" forgeries use blank ancient papyros and even try to recreate ancient ink. So if the material looks authentic, it might neverthelss be a forgery. Therefore you look for mistakes of the forger. Perhaps the shape of a letter is too modern or too ancient, or a phrase, a word or a spelling does not fit. Or in the Qumran example: If you were sold a bunch of superficially very different manuscripts and then discover that they all agree in some subtle features, they are forgeries.

A single such observation may raise doubts, but is usally (exceptions exist) not enough to be sure that a forgery is present. However, the more there are, the more certain one can be.
I was referring to this[0]. I said you've felt that way for a long time, not that you post about it frequently. All I'm accusing you of is having held this position strongly and for a long time. If you say the people trying to convince you otherwise aren't wasting their time, fair enough, my mistake.

As opposed to the one GP linked which just shows which lanes are connected (i.e. if it's only USB2 or not, it has an e-marker or not), this one is fully featured: it reads the actual contents of the E-marker, revealing if the cable supports 100W, Thunderbolt, etc. It even sometimes shows the chipset brand name in the cable!

It can also check Qualcomm QC and USB-PD chargers to see what voltages/amperages they support.

As a diabetes researcher, results like this don't surprise me one bit, but I'm glad they're getting national coverage! A publication in Nature is an incredible achievement, congrats to the teams involved.

We think good glucose control is at the center of a whole host of medical issues, inside and outside the hospital. Bringing critically ill patients under control has been found to reduce mortality rates by up to 30%, results which have been repeated several times in thousands of patients. These drugs, which are less intense than insulin therapy, confer similar glucoregulatory effects, which has all sorts of cascading hormone benefits etc.

Exciting stuff, thanks for sharing!
The use of Dall-E that I have seen in the crypto space is hilarious as they have been trying to make memes with it, so I found that to be very positive. Generally, this is a huge problem Reddit site-wide ever since they launched their PM/DM system. I literally had to write a Reddit Bot to warn our subreddit to NOT talk to strangers on Reddit DMs. At some point I thought about how to thwart scammers by creating fake threads and fake users. Honestly, reddit seriously needs to get its threat modelling together. DMs cause more damage than the benefits that it espouses.
>It's not grand strategy. Musk was forced to buy an unprofitable ad supported business for ten times it's fair value, during an advertising recession, all because of him choosing to not treat his severe bipolar disorder and having a manic episode. Poor guy.

>Now that he's potentially not manic at the moment (possibly, I'm not his doctor) he realizes that he's not going to put an additional cent into it because the business can't be saved.

Frankly I'm still confused how his lawyers wrote the deal to buy Twitter the way he wanted to. He basically made it impossible for himself to back out, or even to have time to do due diligence. Why? The only thing I can guess is he was absolutely sure they would refuse the deal and would give some other concession, like a bigger board seat? Even so why didn't his own lawyers stop him?
> His reputation has been completely destroyed.

I take it you mean "...with you." I, for one, find more and more respect for him. Somebody has to protect the free speech. What he did was very courageous and very difficult (I mean purchasing of Twitter, not the layoffs, obviously). Just look at the amount of vitriol that has been thrown at him for daring to stand for the free speech.
Class actions is a possibility and it’s viable but most of the money would go to law firms and not end up in your pocket anyhow, so it’d be more of a stick it to the man action than an action to receive monetary compensation.
In my experience it's far better to quietly gather actionable data, then take someone to court. Get your ducks in a row and do this methodically. The court of public opinion won't send you a check.

2 times I've gotten my owed money from previous employers by using social engineering to get them to tell me what I needed to know: where they bank, when they sent me what check and how much, etc.

If you are totally in the right, you can essentially get all that is due you, and even more if you research your labor laws.

PS

In the US, research the limits of small claims court for your state or area. In California for example, the limit is $10,000. If you are 100% in the right, you will probably win and get an automatic judgement in your favor.
Life was so safe back then, I remember not even locking the door in the mid 80s LOL.

The door to my house was open, and we were sure no-one would enter.
> Then when this stuff roles around, it's easy to update everything centrally; change the context & everyone sees it.

But one still has to update their credentials on any downstream service, e.g. Third-party API keys. In general, this is highly individual for each service, and can mostly only be doneanially.
All I'm saying here is that you claim you're "a curious person" but actually you're a biased person. These kinds of fake assertions cheapen the quality of discussion here on HN. Be upfront about how you feel. I'm not here to defend either concept or to engage in another flame war here on HN.

> Also lol at digging through my post history instead of talking about the topic.

Cool have a nice day.
Usually if that happens they expand the market, not kill you.
can someone compile the list of lies that Elon tell publicly on twitter?
> * There's a general view that tech workers are highly compensated with great perks. We are unlikely to gather sympathy.

You are not going to get much sympathy from someone who works a 75k year job on their feet, getting all kinds of dirty and grimy from the labor they do, when they hear that your 400k WFH gig for a arguably evil social media company went away…and you got 3 months of severance to boot—literally a years wages for them.

Oh boo-hoo
No. Capital costs tend to be bonded, and infrastructure to support idle trucks is expensive.
Not saying it isn't; just that there's another angle outside of software.

The "Front Page" ethics test is probably the best one I've heard: "What would people think if what was being done was reported on the front page of the NY Times or other major news outlet?"

There is nothing to signify that he isn’t already going to be in fairly deep trouble. He has been sanctioned and fined for past violations based on his tweets, for example by the SEC.
Probably the people who are responsible for it were also fired.

Tesla’s Springfield Gorge Trajectory
Out of interest, which shareholders ended up seeing Musk make good on the $54.20 purchase price, and did any of the regular employees get in on that deal? Was anyone’s vesting schedule accelerated due to a full (or partial) clause being triggered by the buyout?

If people were selling stock to Musk that they had just vested, I wonder what the tax situation looked like on stock with a market value of $20 (or whatever it was when the sale went through) but which you sold to the world’s biggest business clown for $54.20.
I believe that it is canonical in ethiopian christianity so I think maybe their bibles contain it.
Everything the other poster said is correct. Every thing about Mulesoft seems designed to be endless tedium and a time suck. For example, instead of a centralized keystore, this is how developers are supposed to manage secrets. https://developer.mulesoft.com/tutorials-and-howtos/getting-...

PyTorch dependency poisoned with malicious code
Blender users that have no programming knowledge try to use ChatGPT to generate Blender scripts to automate stuff for them. I find that a bit concerning. Blender scripts are non-sandboxed Python. While unlikely it could generate a script that deletes all their files. Or runs ransomware. Can there be attacks against ChatGPT that will teach it to include a line that runs ransomware in any script it generates? Fill StackOverflow with ransomware code snippets? Come to think of it, that could just be an attack on StackOverflow copy-pasters.
Enoch is mentioned in the bible already
People were locked out of their systems and told that effective immediately they’re no longer working for twitter and that they should expect a severance letter in the coming weeks. That never came. And anyone claiming other stuff in the comments does not have any idea what happened.
I've done all of these things. I've essentially been on a diet since I was 17. I am not (especially) fat, but the amount of mental and emotional energy I burn on not being fat is huge. It is a daily struggle. Like one of the parent posts, I've achieved a number of other hard things in my life that took sustained effort and willpower.

I can easily eat 7-8,000 calories in a day, and there's no amount of stairmaster can fix that.

I've also previously taken modafinil, and had situations where I've had caffeine having been caffeine-free for a while, and the appetite-suppression properties have me thinking "this is what normal people must feel like". I cannot wait until these drugs become available in the country I mostly live in.
I agree with you, and the obvious next upshot is that Musk moves Twitter HQ to a less employee-favorable state; doesn’t affect the present situation or any employees who are employed in CA, but nevertheless.
Are you saying Elon is a genius?

Guessing the answer is stack the apples and cut 1/3 off both in one strike?
>Frankly I'm still confused how his lawyers wrote the deal to buy Twitter the way he wanted to.

The client is an arsehole and refuses to listen to counsel.
> Public evidence is hard to track down (especially quickly) since raids on private trackers are so rare

And why is that? It’s because nobody cares about private trackers. It’s not like it’s particularly difficult to find the people behind sites like BTN and PTP, one of the sysops uses their reddit account to discuss the tracker, their US tech job and frequently comments in their local city subreddit.

> The damage there was limited since according to the admins all site and user data was destroyed.

Maybe true, maybe not. The servers were at OVH and seized by French LE. Perhaps they were encrypted, but I rather doubt they had any hardening against DMA tools.

But what about BCG then? That was shut down by uk cops around the same time as What.CD, as far as I know nothing happened to the users.

Also, despite what that torrentfreak claims. Gay-torrents was not a private tracker, but a public (paid) site.

If people had started receiving letters after private trackers getting raided, there’d be a plenty of forum discussions to be found. This just hasn’t ever happened.
Up until The Apprentice, Trump was widely considered a clown. For example, in the '80s and '90s, NYC-based Spy Magazine made fun of him regularly: https://www.boweryboyshistory.com/2015/08/spy-vs-trump-the-b...

As with many notable people today (e.g. Kim Kardashian), reality TV drastically elevated his profile and gave him an enduring fan base.
A severance letter is not notice of being laid off. They are often separate, and the former is required in the state of CA when the layoffs comprise a large enough percentage of the employees thanks to the WARN act.
