Feel like if we believe this was a pilot suicide then it would also be important to try to address that - though I'm not sure how unless we fully automated (and people liked that).

There has been a German and Chinese flight since with 100+ fatalities where this happened. Given how few crashes there are on commercial flights its one of the biggest risk factors today.
I’ve been noodling around this thought that businesses that provide “necessary for life and health” services (power, food, housing, healthcare, and tech) should not be allowed to make more than X profit year over year, provide bonus to C level and up, or give dividends/buybacks if, within a rolling 3 year period they have laid off anyone for a “financial” reason, or not increased employee wages tracked with inflation.

Those that ignore that rule become heavily fined.

100% not a scam, I bought something from this person before and paid via paypal. They didn't ask to send anything extra, just to help reverse the original transaction.
In C++ you would write it once, in term of some concept or other. In practice you would implement exactly the same number of functions you would in rust.

edit: to elaborate: some functionality can be implemented generically (i.e. parametrically ) in term of some other concepts, recursively. At some point the concepts need to map to actual concrete implementation, then you use ad hoc polymorphism. This is the same in rust and in c++ [1].

Additionally in C++, even when you can implement some functionality parametrically, it is sometime useful to (partially) specialize functions and types to take advantage of some optimizations (for example it is possible to implement std::copy generically, but it is often specialized for contiguous iterators to trivially copyable types to call memcpy).

[1] Rust does of course have a more principled handling of these concepts, which are often underdefined in c++.
Putin is threatening nuclear war because he wants the general public in the west to fear their leaders' policies of sending more weapons to Ukraine. He directly benefits from the perception among the public that he is crazy enough to do it. But a look at his history shows him to be much more calculating and intelligent than that. He is not going to give the order to end the world when there are not even enemy troops on Russian soil.

As for a tactical strike, this is the "Doomsday Clock" so that doesn't count.

Well, there wouldn't be a market for things like the Apple TV or Roku or Firestick or Chromecast if people actually used the smart features on their smart tvs.

Most users are probably totally unaware of their smart appliances' capabilities or can't figure out the confusing UI. I know that I can't half the time.
Pro tip: make it boiling hot. I knocked myself out instantly (but briefly) by accidentally breathing in over a boiling chloroform vat at a biotech internship. Came to a few seconds later on the floor. (Don’t actually recommend)
"Before Fariq can attempt to get back into the cockpit, Zaharie reaches up and flips the pressurization switch, cutting off bleed air to the cabin. The airplane rapidly begins to depressurize."

I am very technical minded and still struggle to set up most simple smart appliances (switches, plugs, light bulbs). Put it into pairing mode, download an app, create an account, switch wifi networks on your phone, enter your password, switch back, add an Alexa skill... The average user has no chance. I'm surprised the number is as high as 50%.
I used LaTeX for building my resume around 20 years ago.

I liked having a script that pulled a bunch of LaTeX files and push out a couple different versions of my resume. I had one pdf with my personal details included, and another without etc.

Eventually I went back to a simple Google doc because it was so much easier to quickly change the style. And it looked nicer.
Nextcloud is really just awful to manage. It is kinda insane that you have to do all major version migrations consecutively _manually_, so if you are on 10 and didn't upgrade for a while and current is 13, you have to do 10->11, 11->12 and finally 12->13.
I think this is a joke comment, but I've seen variations of this made in earnest over the past few months.

It's clear by now that these layoffs aren't targeting low performers. They're not targeting any individual. They are an accounting exercise with selection based on meeting a formula.
The suggestion in some quarters is that there's a kind of collective hysteria driving the layoffs amongst tech companies. Incorrect. The one thing all these companies have in common is that they all have the same pool of institutional shareholder.

The layoffs are not about saving money, they are about being seen to save money.

The institutional shareholders have demanded this be done, and the boards have complied. The big layoffs - Google, Amazon, MS, etc - are largely pointless and don't make any meaningful savings. And let's not do the "thinning of the herd" bullshit, please.

Why have the institutional investors demanded this?
1) because they've become accustomed to make obscene amounts of money and want to continue making obscene amounts of money even when things are slowing down, and they (wrongly) believe laying people off is the way to do this
2) because they can. They hold the real power.

Apple have largely avoided doing layoffs because his 40% paycut has soothed the baying suits, and Tim Cook is in a powerful position anyway. Most other CEOs, not so much...
I was just bemoaning this yesterday: There are so many fancy electronic devices that I would love to use, if only the software wasn't hot garbage and actively working against my interests. Smart TV? That'd rock! But no, I'm not going to wait 15 seconds for it to boot, and I'm not going to pay for a device that shows me ads. Wifi-enabled washer/dryer/dishwasher? I'm working out how to retrofit that onto my existing devices! But, y'know, without the cloud and spying. Various "smart home" things? I'm actually happy with zwave et al., because, get this, they let me use my own FOSS against the devices. I mean, I'd prefer a user-flashable ESP8266/ESP32/etc. but I'll take what I can get.

Are you working on something as complex as the Linux kernel?
Wow what a horribly worded idea. I can't tell if you are trolling everyone or if you are a diehard libertarian capitalist.
The implications from your suggestion would imply that regulating behavior outside of markets has never existed in the lifespan of the human race. I agree incentives are what regulate behavior but leaping from child-imprisionment is bad to we should make it legal and efficient is the only/best/reasonable solution disregards so much human legacy and sidesteps so many societal issues with normalizing this bullshit while allowing the horrible shit to live and grow. This shouldn't be normalized. Maybe child-imprisonment shouldn't exist in the first place? Why is your market based idea so easily reached for instead of taking a step back and saying this shouldn't happen under any circumstance or only in very rare circumstances? Why try and motivate behavior at the end of a cycle instead of totally doing away with the cycle to begin with?

Ideas like this show a moral bankruptcy that has become so ingrained in our Technocratic elites and we wonder why there is such a disconnection between different groups in our society.
I understand your sentiment and I agree that a slow trickle of attrition, if executed well and not coupled with an overly conservative hiring rate, would be one of the better side effects of your proposal.

sorry should've been more specific, but ML is general. from what i've seen it's not hard to reimplement the pseudo-code in any ML paper. it's just that it gets tricky when you actually try to utilize the code you've written, usually in trying to recreate performance results in the implementing paper. it's very common for authors to leave out / downplay the role of tricks or implementation details that greatly contributed to the performance of the model, in addition to just how finicky machine learning is in general
No, it's (obviously?) not a scam.

I think honest people perhaps don't realize how devious dishonest people can be, and trying to scam money out other people via PayPal, or even out of PayPal directly, is a common, frequent, everyday occurrence.

This isn't unique to PayPal. Any payments service is going to spend an enormous amount of time trying to deal with that problem. When it goes wrong, as it occasionally inevitably will, people are very loud about it.

PayPal does have a phone number, in the USA it is 1-888-221-1161, 6:00 AM PT to 6:00 PM PT.
Other ways include a text chat service: https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/contact-us
I actually want a different interface to our induction hob. The magnetic twiddly knob is all very clean-linesy; it's just a bit shit. I want an array of actual buttons. If the manufacturer won't provide me with one, then give me an API so I can make one. But no, they won't surrender any control, so you don't really have a smart anything; instead to have a thing limited by the imagination of a marketing department.
Don't you usually only take what you need such that accidents like these can't happen?

Back in 2019, my business partner sent me $30,000 USD over PayPal. PayPal took a fee of $1,690. At some cases, it is cheaper to buy a plane ticket and travel to get money in person. A year later, they have introduced an additional withdrawal fee of 3%.

** My business partner had problems with a wire transfer, so PayPal seemed as the easiest solution.
Yeah, it's not something I've seen before, but others say they've done it with their Twitter app too.

Dear fellow human,

you have won cake. There will be a party in your honor

Please lie on your stomach with your arms at your sides. A party associate will arrive shortly to collect you for your party.
I would be open to being a founder, but I am not one. I've been employee #10 at two startups now though, so I have experience of the growing pains that come with this world
Nothing about this makes any sense. What you're describing (from your comment) is somebody in the third world who sent money to you... which is a common scam to take advantage of you. It's not PayPal scamming them, it's them trying to scam you.

And second, locking your account but also not returning the money to the sender isn't a thing PayPal is known for doing. You don't explain why you aren't able to recover your account (you should be able to prove ownership of your e-mail/phone number/bank account), and you also aren't explaining how you know the money hasn't been, or isn't being, returned.

In any case, none of this has anything to do with HN, nor does it support your question/accusation of PayPal being an "open scam". PayPal does lots of crappy things, but this in particular doesn't seem to be one of them.
Samsung TV starts playing ads if it feels you are idle so i don't connect it to internet directly so use a fire stick. I once connected tv to internet to update some firmware but disconnected the same day because of ads.

There are also concerns about control, in Texas there were people who signed something that allowed the companies to remotely control their ac, apparently at night time it was turned up to 82, I am worried about what other companies could do like smart washer ( how about allowed to wash cloths only after 10 pm ) or not allowed to use some setting like extra wash etc.

What would happen if your account gets locked and you cannot access your smart stove to cook a meal. All those people who posted that their oculus was locked out because their FB account go locked out. In my opinion most of these smart appliances are more of a hassle than worth it.
Excited to give this a try and follow your progress!

In case anybody else is wondering how Matano compares to Panther (my first thought reading this launch post) there's a comparison on the Matano website[0].

Wine emulates Windows APIs.

You would need something like qemu to do arm->x86-64 to do CPU emulation and then use WINE to run Windows programs on a Raspberry Pi.
Ehh... Kinda. They used to focus more on cutting orgs/teams. Google was pretty notorious for doing the whole "your teams has been shut down, you have X days to find a new role or you can take this package and leave now."
Ask HN: Daily / Weekly Development News
Dear HN,

Is there any news site / letter / RSS feed you know of that shares daily / weekly news about everything regarding web development?

I am currently using the following as my source to catch up the latest and greatest.

- HN
- Lobsters
- devurls.com
- github.com/trending (using visualping.io)
- newsletter.shortruby.com (Ruby only)

I also subscribed to javascriptweekly.com, but haven't received any article yet.

I am also open for news sources that is not necessarily related to web development but broader.
then why even offer this possibility for industrial customers?
I think you're conflating "how should one answer the questions on a form" with "how should the form be written"?
One reason would be a CLA. Presumably to contribute to their main repo, you need to sign a CLA to ensure they can relicense this thing as needed. A separate fork wouldn't have that requirement, or shouldn't if it's in good faith.
No, Biden just put an actual progressive in charge. Khan is one of his best appointments.

So is it fair to say that the title is misleading given that the shareholders, specifically institutional shareholders, requested the decrease in pay and Cook simply obliged?

Also, institutional shareholders are just other billionaire individuals and institutions. I think I care even less about their financials.

If reductions in pay of executives somehow made it to consumers, then that would be interesting.
I cant believe it simply use self-attention to generate one word at a time.
It got to be more complex than that.
seems quite addressable if that was the case? just don't let humans disable tracking, what's a sane use case for that anyway?
Yeah, I hoped I could try it out. I went through about 10 minutes of setup before I got to pricing. As a newbie to Mastadon, I have no idea if I want in.

...she isn't fit for the job. She harbors a hate... There is no sane, level-headed case... simply motivated by a hatred for Meta more than anything rational...

It's neither libel or unhinged!

ITT you've claimed that she isn't sane, isn't rational, is motivated solely by hate, and is unfit for her job. You've given us no reason to believe any of this, and the source of it all seems merely to be a political disagreement. This is a respected professional who has been nominated by the president and approved by Congress. Please, find a hinge.

I'm not the only one out there that finds the case around Within a stretch at best.

Yes we've already established that you agree with Robert Bork. I'd say probably Brett Kavanaugh and Samuel Alito are also on your side. Care to cite some less odious support?

Khan and FTC clearly don't have the resources to block all mergers and acquisitions. It's amusing that you complain this impossible thing is happening in the same thread in which your political bedfellows complain it isn't happening. [0]

Yes, and I'd rather go to prison in Munich than to Rikers Island.
> She harbors a hate for big tech

Oh no, how the big tech has suffered since she took up the post, their profits have... Tripled? This cant be right!

Is Big tech a cult and anyone not worshipping them is the enemy?

You do realise her job is to police big tech, not to do their bidding. She should like them no more than a prison guatdrd likes prisoners.
4. We want schematics, details, and parts availability to fix things ourselves (or for our local independent repair person to do it) rather than grovel for a tech who paid the manufacturer for the label of "brand certified" to come overcharge me for a fix that won't really fix the issue completely.
People are very susceptible to ideas. That's the premise of political propaganda and the entire advertising industry. It's not clear what the solution is but most people are consumers of ideas, not producers.
I don't disagree with you, but I wonder if Windows Vista+ are even capable of delivering that. :)
…and your comment sums up exactly the point I was making about how hard it is to have a grown up conversation about this subject matter.

I get the need for justice but what you’re describing is revenge, not justice. Justice needs to contain a rehabilitation part and not just punishment. The point the GP was making is that the rehabilitation part has been substituted for exploitation. Regardless of whether you think the sentencing was just or not, and to be clear: I don’t think even the GP was suggesting that his brother-in-law didn’t deserve jail time, if you don’t try and rehabilitate then you’re just encouraging your offenders to go out and reoffend. Thus perpetuating the cycle of crime and increasing the number of peoples who are physically and mentally scared from crimes in the process.

Rehabilitating inmates doesnt need to be done for altruistic purposes. There’s a very self reason to do so: those inmates will become less likely to commit further crimes upon release.

And that is the crux of the argument here. It’s what the discussion should be focused on, rather than a pseudo-morality debate about whether they deserve the time. Because literally no one believes there shouldn’t be punishment for crimes. But what we don’t agree on is whether criminals deserve a chance to reform.
I accept payment cards and PayPal in my SaaS. The PayPal option costs 10% more money (I tell the client about it in advance). Half of people still chooses to pay with PayPal.
I'm going to start shifting away from my Paypal usage after having some complications with disputing a charge. Never received the item and the process has taken about a month. I mistakenly assumed their dispute resolution was on par with Amex's, but I stand corrected.

No point in using unless I absolutely have to. Convenience sometimes bites you in the ass.
Samsung? My new home has all Samsung appliances and I was shocked to see that a new fridge water filter was $50. Not a chance I’m paying that. Found a 2 pack of a compatible brand for $20, seems to work fine!

If the price were reasonable I would have just bought the Samsung replacements and called it a day. But instead they got $0 of my money.
On the whole, rST for sure has the right stuff. Having a document model and a nice standard extensible mechanism for syntax really helps. It's been my favorite.

But even when writing my last paper I used Markdown (+pandoc) because I had a coauthor and Github et al. have made it more familiar to so many more people. Maybe in niches like the Python community but it's a distinctly minority option, at least where I've worked.
It won't unless there is some sort of major hull leak. If it was off long enough it would start to be a problem. Its basically the same same as turning off recirc on your car's climate controls. (Also, the pressurization controls are almost always on the overhead panels, which contains things that are used almost always for startup/shutdown steps so it's not like the pilot is going to reach over to adjust a radio or the autopilot and hit the bleed air.

Really though there are plenty of switches in any cockpit that will result in the death of all aboard if no corrective action is taken.

Do you freak out about driving? Plenty of controls in your car you could say the same thing about. Yanking the ebrake at highway speeds in rush hour traffic isn't gonna end well.

Edit the 5th or so: There are also times when the pilot will legitimately and safely depressurize in flight, like when descending to the one of the super-high airports that are actually at higher altitude than typical cabin atmosphere, like La Paz Bolivia (over 13000ft, compared to a typical cabin altitude of 5-8000 or so. They do it gradually while descending, so they don't make everyones ears go bang all at once.

Edit the 6th: Also, there's a big difference between turning off bleed air (which is pretty benign) and actually hitting the emergency pressure dump control, which is protected by a guard that holds the switch in the normal/auto position.
