Bad take.

If anything, it reveals just how many things are not up for voting in our democracy - because people will definitely vote down spyware whose obvious target is us.
Comcast also no longer lets you bring your own equipment, you have to use their horribly terrible modem-router combo which overheats constantly and needs to be physically unplugged from power to cool off (at least a couple times a week, in a well ventilated cool location).

Sure, Comcast is legally required to let you use your own equipment. How do they square that circle? You can bring your own equipment for a very crappy, lower speed, insanely low data-capped, highly restricted service. If you want actual Internet service that is reasonable, you have to get the special upgraded plan which requires you to use their modem-router combo. that upgrade cost extra money, although you get the extra fee waived for the first year or two depending on the current promotion. So the net effect is it’s a technicality forcing you to use their hardware (with the explicit threat of higher prices in the future). Technically complying with the letter of the law, while completely screwing over their users. A very Comcastic thing to do.

(for reference, I am in San Francisco, but in a part of town that has no other options than to use Comcast or slow DSL. Comcast policies and trickery very widely across the country.)

It should be slightly less janky than Android with all the Java in it.

There are still a lot of midrange phones out there, and IOS has always felt smoother.
I remember reading somewhere that, I think, Jarvan ult at least used to be coded as a group of tightly packed special minions.
50W is nothing, and 500W isn’t really a sprint. For an adult male, you should be pushing 1000-2000 over 20 second sprints.

Walking slightly uphill is probably more intense than a 50w bike.

I don't think it's productive or wise to speculate on decisions that restrict the free association of people. Outside of narrow circumstances, an employer should not be legally required to employ someone any more than an employee should be legally required to work at the company.
I'm sorry for being rude here, but your understanding is obviously flawed. Even a cursory glance at the project would let you know that this wasn't the case. There are a bunch of obviously interesting ideas in Fuchsia that may or may not be useful in the long term, but describing it as being "simply about control" is just lazy as hell.
I was a long time keepass user but moved to Bitwarden. My problem with keepass is the low quality and often poorly supported closed source clients that you get on mobile.
Jails are for very short sentences and short term pre-trial incarceration. This can lead to some really dumb "X% of people in jail Y" type states that sound outrageous until you realize that X is drawn from a very specific subset of the incarcerated population.
Not to rain on the common man parade, most of these layoffs are after even bigger hiring rounds. Microsoft hired 40K employees in 22 to layoff 10k in 23, that is still 30K more employees.

In 22:
Meta hired 12K+
Netflix 2k+
Google 20K+
Amazon 300K+ (!)

But oh me oh my the free market that lets the companies hire lets them fire. Evil money man used to give me money to get compensation, that is good greed. Now evil money man wants to take away money to get compensation that is bad greed angry face emoji
The occasional times I haven't been able to log into my bank because I was on a computer that didn't have my kdbx file, or the small worry I have of keeping it up to date in multiple places while transitioning my main system.. are no bother compared to constant worry that someone might have my logins because of some security breech.. That said I just give apple everything when on that echosystem. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯.

It seems to be a worldwide issue. Whether that is from the original issue or the run-on waterfall effects remains to be seen.

Seems a significant number of major web properties are affected in some way or another.

It also doesn't help that it's an iOS upgrade day.
Sadly, it has a lot to do with maximising the control over employees.
My youngest son loves the story about the Three Goats Gruff and also the show Blaze And The Monster Machines on Nickelodeon. One of the first things I thought to do with ChatGPT was ask it to write the story of the Three Goats Gruff as an episode of Blaze. The result was pretty impressive, with Blaze and his friends matching off against a troll to race over a bridge to save three goats. Totally plausible plotline for an episode, and most importantly, my son was thoroughly entertained when I read it.
The keys couldn't unlock the GPU door though (I mean, dev mode apps couldn't use the graphics api). And iirc ram was limited.
To me that allows for some incentive to root/jailbreak the device.
i winced at the part where jason basically talks about john cutler-style feature factories shipping some new beta every few months without follow thru and how it makes you fall behind on messaging despite being first to market compared to competitors. too true. and not fixable at the devrel level; its a product and eng leadership issue but a VP should be able to give that feedback and make change happen.
Those results aren’t real. If you actually try to retrieve them, you will find out that Google stops delivering unique results after a few pages. (Other search engines are the same in this respect.)
Exactly. Even the global media could put enough pressure on really, but I don't see evidence of them being 'interested.'
What a naive comment. As if the only truly important jobs exist in engineering and require nothing but git and a book on C.
Only 25 men were used? How can we possibly extrapolate that to others??
That's not a problem with the specific cloud but the clear and obvious fact that windows containers are a fucking shit show disaster. I have a lot of experience with windows containers and there is absolutely no way anyone in their right mind should be putting any workload on this steaming pile of shit.

Network problems, DNS problems, no metrics exporters that work properly, stuck containers all the time, API timeouts, pain in the ass container versioning issues due to breaking kernel APIs. If you've ever had to attempt to get support on it either, you'll quickly find that no one at MSFT has any idea how the hell it works either. They literally just wanted the box to tick.

Also running docker for windows has made our devops engineers suicidal because it's the same turd there.
Really interesting (assuming I'm correct about how this comment was created) how distinct ChatGPT's writing style already is to me

> loading images of your kids ... to a random web service

I used to worry about that... but then someone pointed out to me that there are pretty much no stories of anyone being hurt by that.

Worst case, those images leak all over the web... And then what? The internet is already filled with pictures of people and children, yours won't stand out. The photos aren't tagged by name, and even if they were, few people care about obama as a 5 year old pirate [1], so why would they care about your child?

Overall, the risk of personal harm from a data leak seems really small - so I put my efforts elsewhere, like making sure my child gets to spend more time with me - that's infinitely more valuable.

I'm not sure about apple's cloud stuff, but the keychain is an actual just a file on your system. It is password protected, but it is just your login/sudo password (depending on which file it is).

I just had my keychain corrupt last night while I was testing the SecItemAdd API. So keep that in mind, maybe make backups. I was pretty shocked that you can corrupt the keychain using just the API, the entire security process started to lock up too. I had to (manually!) delete the entire keystone and start from scratch. Luckily I don't rely on it much.

It is worth noting that after you back it up to a remote location, it may not be a very secure concept anymore.
I hate this so very much.

Automating creativity is so gross. Never mind the fact that these models are trained on stolen artwork and texts.
You can export your keychain and import into other password managers, if you have access to a Mac. I doubt this can be automated, though, and passkeys will need another solution.

Tell HN: WeWork asked me 2,220€ for 1 dedicated desk for 1 month
I was looking for 1 dedicated desk in a WeWork located in Milan, Italy for only 1 month.

Desk pricing: 530€/month (VAT excluded).

Installation: 100€ one-time

Deposit (refunded within 30d):

- if I pay with Bank direct debit: 1.5x desk pricing = 795€

- if I pay with credit card: 2x desk pricing = 1060€

- if I pay with bank wire: 3x desk pricing = 1590€

Since I will pay using bank wire (the most common payment method for this amount range) I need to send them 530+100 + 1590€ = 2,220€ just for using a wood desk and a chair for 1 month!

I could understand the desk pricing + installation. It's expensive but reasonable.

Instead I am quite scared by the deposit amount. No other coworking never asked me for a deposit.

In other terms, they are asking me a 1590€ short term loan.
According to last financial reports WeWork has a $-4B loss and $2B revenue in 2021.

It looks to me they are on the edge of bankruptcy. They highly need liquidity.

Is it different in other part of the world?

Cutting 16% is a sign that Google has over hired.

> Maybe they realized that they can't afford to build a new full-feature operating system that they'll never use for anything more than a smart speaker, so they're cutting 16+% of the scope.

I thought the ME could access the pcie bus and thus network cards (if not embedded into the SoC)? Maybe I was misinformed.
Hmm, but are developers that easy to find? Not to search very far, but my most recent interaction with a vendor suggest even relatively simple things are not so simple. OTOH, MBAs are aplenty ( hell, even I have one ).

No doubt this is a reasonable inference chain that was dreamed up many decades ago. But science doesn't stop at inference chains. Now, armed with this hypothesis, we have to go and actually look. Which bacteria? How do they influence the brain? What evolutionary pressures exactly? Reading the article, it looks like we have answers to many of these questions.
Good discussion from the other month, on how Unix hegemony has caused stagnation in OS research: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33740235

I watched a bunch of lecture videos on operating systems a few months ago: https://www.youtube.com/@johnkubiatowicz3737/videos It didn't seem like they are fundamentally that complex. I'm pretty sure CMU has a class where undergrads are required to write their own operating system within a single semester.

My vague impression is that Linux has become bloated since the project's scope is so large -- Linux is used to address every possible use case. That's naturally going to lead to a ton of complexity and bugs. I'm really excited by the idea of people creating new OSes that explore alternative paradigms and try to beat Linux for specific use-cases.

Writing a replacement for Android in Rust would be interesting, for example. I don't think you would need to create a full Linux compatibility layer -- you could create just enough compatibility for the Android APIs to still work.

Then you could add anti-distraction features at the OS level -- e.g. make it so if someone has deliberately uninstalled an app in the past, they have to solve a bunch of captchas if they want to install it a second time.

Tons of everyday people struggle with addiction to apps like Instagram, where they uninstall the app to try & waste less time, then give in and reinstall it, over and over again. I think solid, creative app blocking features (e.g. user selects how much effort is required to disable their own self-restriction when they set it up) could be an attractive selling point for many users. There is the potential to make millions or even billions of dollars by changing the relationship that people have with their devices.
Lightrun add logs at runtime, which means you'll add a log and it will be integrated into the stream of logs emitted from the application (or streamed to your IDE plugin) - it's not a time-travelling debugger, if I understand the question correctly:)
There may also be an element of self-selection here.

I follow the tech news loosely and from my experience Meta have received significantly more high-level news coverage, including a lot of doom-sayer pieces.

The Google news tends to be localised to tech-related news sites. There's no talk of doom, but rather that Google may be preparing for a wider downturn across all industry (i.e. recession.)

Ironically I believe I remember that LastPass had such a feature, though it didn’t work for more than about 2% of my passwords when I used it a long time ago.
I figured that out as well

But I realized that it was not encouraging for management to have complaint emails. And I hardly had a reply back (I assume most businesses just don't care)

Nowadays I'm once again just the silent customer who doesn't come back.

However, I can hapilly reply to polls, reviews, or send thank you emails to businesses that I liked, to encourage them.

I get a lot of _you welcome_ replies. And a small company even indicating that they would include my review in their staff training, to show what points customers liked.

So instead of being negative, I found it was more constructive to have a positive perspective on services that were worth it, to make them more stable.

The Cinque Terre (Italian pronunciation: [ˈtʃiŋkwe ˈtɛrre]; Ligurian: Çinque Tære, meaning "Five Lands") is a coastal area within Liguria, in the northwest of Italy. It lies in the west of La Spezia Province, and comprises five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Ask HN: What would a LinkedIn alternative look like?
Hi!

I had launched a product around effective hiring recently and have been lucky to get some customer usage and feedback from the early community. One of the recurring feedbacks has been around in which direction should the product grow - as a SaaS, as a network or something in the middle.

Extrapolating many of the discussions has led to some kind of a “of the people, by the people, for the people” professional network to create an environment to help each other and grow professionally (likely the extrapolation got weighed seeing HN community grow! :)).

We have all seen LinkedIn change a lot in the last decade as well, from being a profile listing page to a social network with the same network dynamics and similar content as other social networks now. It’s still great as a profile listing page, but I personally don’t find it much useful - unless trying to sell something and send lots of messages to leads.

So my question is what would an alternative LinkedIn look like? Some thoughts I had are:

- make the connections much more richer which can be leveraged to get jobs, discuss opportunities, references (this is what my current product is trying to do)
- make the network a bit self-governing and regulating to make it more useful for everyone (when LinkedIn/HN launched there were no tokens, now there are!). eg get paid to receive sales messages, credits for recommendations to roles, etc..
- remove peer pressure of adding people to network

Would love to discuss how an alternate professional network of 2023 should look like!
No questions, just complimenting on what looks like a great, very very useful product.
>They (MS and EA) threw OP, the author of this fkn submission, in jail.

It's not like they got jailed because of MS's sheer spite to hackers - no, they made good money hacking MS consoles. Essentially, it's one capitalist against the other, and they had to be aware of the rules of the game.
That is seriously rough. Times change I guess. Last time me and my buddies from office survived layoffs, we kept a list going of who is where to see if we can help one another get through the rough patch. In the end, it did not matter since the company closed its doors, but the list remained so the underground railroad continued its existence. I actually got my previous job thanks to it.
Everyone is replaceable, in some way. Even Steve Jobs and Bill Gates seem to have been replaceable, at least from a stock owner perspective.

I'd like to offer a different explanation: Entrenched in-groups and institutions control access to the highest paid jobs. You need to become a part of those to be allowed to participate.
If it works, it'll be used. Are you grossed out when using a calculator? I hope so
Thanks. I understand your position now, which is interesting, but is there anything more verifiable than HN comments out there that is the source of your claims?

Bouldering requires leg strength and max effort output over a minute timespan.

Heel hooks, slab, arete, bat hangs are all going to tax your lower body, and a good boulderer can put themselves in hell for a limited timespan, as it’s required for many problems. Climbing is so much more than pull up and grip strength.
That's hilarious. Been there, been told that.
"When you look at the data, blaming GERD on too much stomach acid doesn’t make sense. Stomach acid actually tends to decline, not rise, with age, while GERD risk increases with age. (4) In fact, 40-year-olds, on average, generate about half as much as stomach acid as 20-year-olds do. And, according to one study, over 40 percent of people age 80 and up may be producing almost no stomach acid at all."[4]

This condition is called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achlorhydria , and one of known side-effects of that is gastroesophageal reflux disease.

"The ideal pH for the stomach can approach 1 but should be below 3, where most pathogens cannot survive. When the pH rises above 5, several dangerous bacterial species are able to survive. Acid-blockers can increase the stomach’s pH ..."[4]

For lower esophageal sphincter to properly work, you in fact need normal levels of acid and proper acidity.[0][1][2][3] If you have the oposite, the sphincter does not fully close and boom, there's your heart burn.

The real mechanism of gerd is more complicated than "too much acid" or "acid too strong". I don't suggest you start drinking unwatered vinegar. I suggest you study the sources I've linked and only then decide for youself.

> I've seen vinegar recommended for GERD online before, but was curious whether there's much medical know-how behind it (studies or at least a clear theory of why it would help me vs. PPIs).

So lets ignore the government part of this. Anyone can create a webpage that collects this information, which means that a non government hacker (or another government like N.

This certainly explains why Ubuntu includes bad design choice after bad design choice. You'd hope they'd learn from mistakes, but the people making mistakes over and over again were barely born the first time they were made.
