I've been doing the same after the LastPass incident (I haven't used it in a couple of years, but for old accounts I didn't do a good job of updating passwords).

I agree it's surprising how many companies don't allow account deletion online; it's also surprising how many privacy policies link to dead URLs or email addresses (that literally bounce) if they even mention a "request to delete" at all. Plus many others that use the stupid bots for customer support or a form with a dropdown that doesn't include anything about privacy / account, just product support.

But totally don't use any of these websites, they are very likely collecting and disseminating your data themselves.
that's a common doubt we all have - union jobs definitely pay more than non union jobs for same level and business area
When you are in a complex spiderweb you simply cannot move fast. If you are moving fast you are not looking at everything and it will blow up in your face.

Yeah, I know people that work at Lattice Semiconductor. I had never heard of this software company with the same name.
> You need ... to try Windows

Hard no from many people including myself. It will be a cold day in hell before I give Microsoft any more of my money or personal information after the abuses they've done to me, my information, and my purchases.
> the associations with the other viruses you cite are only correlative. Also, Hep C, HIV and herpes have no vaccine

And poster's own link doesn't claim some of the viruses are actually an oncovirus.

That said, I don't think that pushing vaccines (either in research or into arms) for the listed diseases would be bad.
I don’t understand what was the expectation.

For Big Oil to start campaigning against their own product?

We have legislative bodies that we literally elect and pay to do this job.

Let’s stop the hypocrisy and look ourselves in the mirror.
I will keep your advice at heart, thank you for it again.

I don't know if my life will be better than the lives of others, though, as I don't have a degree, and I am seemingly less intelligent than others, which limits my ability to learn as fast/income-wise.

Slowly beginning to lose hope, but as you said "It's about the quality of your life."
But in this case they did prove it, beyond any reasonable doubt. The article makes that clear. She was lying to them, and when caught lied again, and then when immediately caught again eventually admitted that she had been defrauding them ... and then sued them for wrongful dismissal anyway. No wonder the judge tossed her case out.

Actually in this case, more like defrauding the eventual customers, as she was filling timesheets which usually means her time was being billed out.

That's why her case was tossed and she has to repay her former employer.
Right. That reaffirms what I said.
> During pre electricity time humen woke up after 4 hours sleep, got awake for some time and then continue to sleep.

The confusing thing with this claim is what did people actually do during this time, given bad (and expensive!) lighting only?
I don’t think it would, the students can skip watching the lecture and then BS through the collaborative in-class work.

Show HN: Sleuth, open source workspace search in natural language
Hey everyone,

We know how hard it can be to ramp up and learn the ins and outs of a new company.

- “Who should I talk to about customer onboarding?”

- “What was that project the onboarding team shipped in June, that had a massive impact on step 3 completion rate?”

Instead of asking someone the same question that’s been asked hundreds of times before, it’s more efficient to find answers in existing documents and past conversations. The problem is, this data is spread out across dozens of workplace apps, with search features that all work differently. That’s why we’ve created Sleuth, an open source library that allows you to search through your company’s entire history using natural language. It understands the intent of your question, not just the keywords. Here’s a demo:

https://www.loom.com/share/71625cce862f4d4ea12b8a87ad94e407

You can fork our repo (https://github.com/getsleuth/Sleuth) and try it right now, or book a 15 min call (https://calendly.com/triton-founders/sleuth-feedback) with us to share your feedback.

How does it work?

Vector embeddings are generated for slack messages using OpenAI’s text-embedding-ada-002 model and stored in a Pinecone vector database for easy querying.

How is this different from Glean?

Glean is great, but we wanted to introduce a product that anyone can fork, use, and customize without ever talking to a sales team. Building in public makes for better products.

What integrations do you support?

Just Slack to start. What other integrations would you like to see?
I wonder if it's possible to build a decent tool that converts a video essay into a blog post. Start by just taking the captions, and then insert screenshots anytime the video says anything like "as you can see here" or "based on this chart".
Thank you for this feedback, very helpful.
Yeah, but the hard part is filtering. It’s pretty easy to scrape a massive amount. Turning it into quality training data is the trick.

>I'm an incredibly capable individual but I just won't earn more than 20-30k a year, bc that's enough for my life.

Is that your choice or an assumption?
What may have even more impact on HN readers is the possibility that we are seeing "The end of the bloviating blog." I say this as someone who—under the pen name raganwald—built much of my public reputation writing blog posts. But looking back, many of my blog posts were low-effort and superficial. The ones I'm really proud of in hind sight are few and far between, and they were the ones where I had something to say, and put some work into both researching and saying it. The rest could easily have been written by AI, if not now, soon.

And just as the author says is the case with high school essays, the correlation between blog posts I'm proud of today and the payoff at the time (marks for high school essays, online popularity for blog posts) is tenuous at best. Popularity is driven by a bunch of factors, and a decade ago, a lot of those factors involved cosplaying an insufferably overconfident techno-priest.

(I am not saying I wrote great stuff that nobody liked. The ones I'm proud of also touched people in some way. But looking back, social media was not set up to reward putting a lot of work and thought into writing, not even HN.)

I'm kind of happy that AI is able to automate and industrialize relatively shallow and low-effort writing. The sooner we recognize that it is not a signal of either hard work or deep thought, the better IMO. That is... If we as a species recognize it. If not, we are on our way to a really boring dystopia where public sentiment is driven entirely by deep-pockets gaming every form of social media we create.

You are describing idealogues and zealots and bureaucrats who want that problem to continue to exist no matter what. Because they have an agenda which involves taking control of whatever they can if they can. They would be deeply distressed if food insecurity was solved without needing their top-down control.
I can agree, we did this all throughout high school in Ontario. Producing an essay in your class period was something they taught you how to do. What you'd hand in was messy and rushed, but it still had references, a thesis, and 5 (short) paragraphs. I don't see why today's youth couldn't eventually do the same, especially if they're given an (offline, or firewalled) Chromebook to type on.
1) Reminds me of fuckedcompany.com and the proprietor, pud

2) I think they're carving out signing up for this from your work account... you should sign up for it from your personal account. Also, if you're that conservative about it, you're probably not the audience for participation or attending.

3) Loosen up, get radically honest, have a laugh.
The US only insured accounts up to 250K so its common to split up accounts for that reason.

Problem is that Big Oil pays those politicians more.
Due diligence means investigating the details, not presuming crime. If the founder murdered the staff of JPM in the office, you wouldn't say "guess they didn't do due diligence!" unless the founders had a record.

At this point at the very latest, if not your first sentence already it is clear that you are nothing but a troll.

But tell someone who actually lived there, me, your nonsense - sure.

> and they didn't give up their power willingly.

They did. I lived there in 1989. Nothing happened. They could have given the order to fire, the troops were listening and obeying. They never did. You tell lies. What a twisted, biased, one-sided world view, on a site that's supposed to have open-minded discussions. Truly disgusting, and I say that especially because this was my live, right then, right there, and you do speak nonsense, which sounds not less ideologically blinded than the worst I heard in the GDR, sometimes personally (to me, a teacher, 1989: "Sie schwimmen im Fahrwasser des Klassenfeinds!").
There is already the ThinkPad P14s G3 AMD with the 6850U PRO.

I have the G2 with the 5850U and it performs very well.
I went to a magnet middle school - a public selective school with more strict requirements - that homework either got a 0, 50 or 100. If you did all of the work you got 100 whether it was right or not. If you didn’t do all the work you got a 50. If you did nothing you got 0.
Basically a five foot wave surrounded by one foot waves would be most extremist extremely rogue wave ever.
Honestly there is no good way of dealing with this kind of behaviour that is politically correct in my experience. You just have to reprimand them and tell them to spend developer time on creating business value rather than pursuing their personal itches. You have to tell them thats what is expected from a senior engineer.
In the video they show the full animation with the surrounding wave context and it makes it a little easier to understand than the gif.

The first massive wave lumbers through at the same pace of the surrounding waves leaving you thinking "Oh that big wave is the rogue wave" when suddenly the bottom drops out and an even more massive wave comes very fast and seemingly overtakes the slower one. It seems like the slower large wave just stops in place and reduces in amplitude while the rogue wave overtakes it.

The issues with Zig is not getting something off the ground in a weekend, but maintaining things over multiple weekends, without some bike-shed-change like `@maximum` vs. `@max`, some compiler bug for a basic feature, or some std.heap API change breaking your code.

Zig really needs some subset carved out and some stability guaranteed placed on that so that innovation can't only happen by the core team, but also by the community.

Rust does a much better job in that regard, by marking at least some things as stable.

It's extremely hard to contribute to the ecosystem when everything is build on sand without at least some save haven of stability.
E.g. if Zig had a `loop` statement like Rust, that could be marked stable from day one, because the syntax surface is so small. Same goes for extern structs, because they are already defined in terms of C ABI.
Zaentz was a serial... entrepreneur. His passing away was lamented by musicians and artists all over the world (as in 'why dint it happen sooner?').

Well, I think the US Federal Reserve raising the interest rate to 4.5% in an attempt to cause mass-unemployment and to reduce consumption was the canary. :) Since that was the intended outcome, recession shouldn't surprise anyone.
There is something about this era of higher-end electronic assemblies that just ticks boxes for me aesthetically- metal can transistors, raw fiber boards with no solder mask, axial lead film capacitors, perfect leaded (or sometimes silver) solder joints...
To respond to your first part about operating system: I bought a computer with Pop!_OS but I promptly reformatted the disk and installed openSUSE on it. No issues at all. I did notice that in their preinstalled OS they did some customizations (enabling GNOME fractional scaling for example) but nothing that's not available in other distros. They have a nice Pop!_OS shell that's friendly to those new to tiling window managers, but that's also something you can install on other distros. I have previously mentioned on HN how I like that shell: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33295421
"all of its resources taken" would seem to require liquidation or putting those resources under a different management structure, possibly government directly or government appointed.

What would Exxon be able to do once all of its resources have been repurposed? The company would be effectively dissolved even if not explicitly dissolved.
The expectation is that they would take the long view and start investing in alternatives that pay more instead of burning the planet to the ground.
Would be interesting if there was a way for corporate boards to be more accountable for their mistakes in situations like the current tech layoffs. It is somewhat understandable if in a lot of these cases the CEOs are just cat’s paws of the will of the boards.

I suppose activist investors who pushed for aggressive growth strategies because of the FOMO environment will be losing a lot of money, but that's little comfort to the people losing their jobs.
On a Mac keyboard layout, the key at the upper right of the main section is named delete. And that name alighns with how it's used across macOS: as the equivalent of the delete key on the PC layout.

The exception to that equivalence is in text editing where it behaves like backspace. But macOS doesn't ignore the desire to delete text in the other direction. fn+delete will perform a forward character delete.
This feeling is grossly at odds with the reality: hostility between host railroads and Amtrak is well known as the order of the day. Amtrak pays a well-below-market sweetheart rate, for trains that often miss their slots and snarl operations. No host railroad would miss them.
I wonder what causes this, the gas infrastructure needs electricity for the compressors too but maybe they have auxiliary power at each pump station? Some pressure reduction is probably acceptable too so there might be "automatic" redundancy.
Are you saying it isn't possible for tech growth to get ahead of the growth in the overall economy? It certainly has in the past (2000 Dot Bomb).
Not to mention the spectacular ratio of speculation and psychologizing to source in OP. If you cut out all of the 'she must have' or 'doubtless' or 'perhaps' lines, I think 80% of OP would be gone. Whereas Theodora is much better documented.
Gopher with TLS exists, it's promoted by gopher://bitreich.org and sacc.

Thanks, that of course makes intuitive sense. I suppose I'm simply noticing (like other people in this thread) that their low beams seem way bright (and that their fog lamps are on), and I never thought it through.

(In any case, a lot of people around me very clearly have their fog lamps on in non-foggy conditions, which I don't understand.)
I'm not buying it. Monarchy was the best system ever tried until democracy gained prominence.

Voting with feet and voting with dollars has always been a way to make workers and consumers(often the same) feel like they've got a say without actually giving them one.

The problem is that the territory of the conflict is attempting to be constrained ie: within the current legal structure. What isn't allowed here is the conflict to spill into the province of arguing about the rules of the game itself. We've never had a static legal landscape and never will, and yet arguments like these assume it.

Workers should have a shot at workplace democracy because it's a fundamental right of self-determination. Carve-outs of that right like in workplaces are only as natural as we make them.
I dream about this happening to me. Without giving too much detail, can you say what kind of windfall? Inheritance, settlement, lottery pay day or something else?
I think I did explain what makes it different? There’s a logical, statistical argument behind the theory. It may not be correct, but it deserves more than a casual dismissal.
I'm open to quit if someone offers me a better salary and/or working conditions. Since I don't have a degree and I am not in IT, this is a pipe dream.
Good luck. Although there are ways to make this very difficult for consumers to modify, it probably won't take too long til someone figures out how to bypass/hack it.

> Or it could simply mean that another cause of death has increased. Like heart disease/diabetes from ever increasing obesity rates.

You could hardly have picked a worse counterexample. Deaths from heart disease have fallen dramatically over that time period, even faster than cancer deaths have dropped.

Deaths from strokes - which at one point equalled deaths from all cancers combined - have fallen as well, although much of that drop occurred before the time period in question.

Deaths from diabetes are actually quite few in number compared to heart disease and cancer. They've sort of plateaued over this time interval, which isn't good news, but hardly the alternate explanation for the reduction in cancer deaths.

Now, there is one big cause of death which we haven't addressed: COVID-19, which causes about 3x the number of deaths as diabetes, and over half the number of deaths as all cancers combined. But that only began in 2020, and this data shows a decrease across the entire interval, so it's not relevant here.
The CLI is nice, but developing Shopify apps+themes is still a wild west.
So much of what you described happens because people intentionally make those bad decisions. That being said, you can still feed yourself well in the above scenario. What the parent described is nutritious and not expensive, and people get food stamps to cover food if they cannot pay for it. The actual problem is that people refuse discipline and don’t want to give up their vices and bad decisions. People hide behind blaming large ephemeral “complexes” and industries because they want to hide from their own irresponsibility and because some just want to have more control over other people including over other people who don’t choose bad decisions.

There was an article on HN earlier this week about PBKDF2 iterations[1]. The gist of the article was that adding iterations to the key derivation function doesn't actually increase the entropy of a password all that much. No matter how much education and encouragement they're given, some users will choose weak passwords, and those passwords will be crackable even with any reasonable number of DF iterations.

This was good support for 1PW's 2-key solution, since one of the keys is randomly generated with a true 128 bits of entropy, no matter what password the user chooses, a compromise of the service's data store alone will mean the user's vault encryption key is uncrackable.

I agree it's overused, but it might be early to jump on the reporter/journalist hate train on this particular issue, since it's extremely common for their critics to describe their reporting as "breathless", which is a nearly identical exaggeration.
I may have experienced a very small one, 10-15 years ago - and I still have flashbacks.

Was a crew member in a sailing regatta and for one 5-10 minute period the waves were just coming from everywhere, breaking all over the place. It was exhilarating, like riding a roller coaster up and down! Then a (relatively) very big one, out of the blue. It seemed to go between us and the next boat, maybe 60 feet away. From the deck, we couldn't even see the top of the mast of the other boat.

And then we fell out of the water.

Our boat, all 30,000 pounds of it, dropped straight down and we crashed, hard, into the water below. The mast bent so much that the cable stays were loose. The impact threw everyone down. The sound: it sounded like the fiberglass crunched and broke. For a moment we all thought we were dead. But we weren't. The mast snapped back so hard the cable stays made a twanging sound. Sails limp - no wind at the bottom of the hole. Then the water all around us swallowed us up; our buoyancy sent us shooting straight up with a lot of force. The wind hit us hard; no time to reflect; have to deal with that now.
The original article has no relation to Heroku, that's why the downvote.
