well that's fair, that is the sort of inside info that I'd like to know.

And actually, that means I was unfair about your first comment - I wouldn't want to work for a place that operates that way anyway, as another top level comment notes. I think I can safely discard secret illegal hiring practices as a concern when interviewing, which does solve my issue of whether to answer truthfully or simply opt-out of those questions.
It comes in handy in terminals as well. You can use CMD + C to copy, CTRL + C to send a code.
That's pocket change compared to the strategic value. I find it odd that they're citing a threat to life when the thing is apparently in the region of Montana, one of the least populated parts of the US/Canada.
There is no reason to think that interpretation of metric that compared "men" and "women" must be aligned with that same metric when men/women is substituted with some other populations. When you make the substitution you completly change the nature of the comparison. Whether either comparison is "acceptable" depends on the metric and the populations. There is no ethical rule that says all comparisons for group X must be acceptable or all comparisons for group Y must be unacceptable.
The book Solaris by Stanislaw Lem is a really great read, describing something alien that is obviously alive, yet too foreign for humans to comprehend or interact with.
I don’t understand what you’re trying to say at all.

By convicted I’m presuming you think I’m implying he broke some laws?

I did not say that he broke any laws, nor do I believe that what he did was illegal in the slightest?

When things related to things are so easy to find with a pretty serious paper trail behind it, I can only imagine your saying this to try to defend the perpetrator in some way.

I don’t think that’s the case, so I digress.

Company IGE tried to make virtual in-game currency sweatshops. IGE was headed by Pierce & Bannon. This is something that happened and there is not much more to it.

If you’re simply unfamiliar with MMORPG & related videogames - I can perhaps understand. In short - I assure you, there is a near endless amount of people who shove very large amounts of $USD into virtual trinkets in these games. Always have been, hence their exploitation since the early 2000’s
Ah, OK, fair enough. I wasn’t thinking about the relatively long list of countries that have English as an official language, though I suppose it’s quite likely the case that there are more English speakers in India than any country other than the U.S.
Oh shoot that is a good point. Thanks for sharing. I won't make any promises but definitely gives me some stuff to consider.
Tether says they redeemed $20bn. We have no way to know if they redeemed it for actual dollars to parties that aren’t affiliated with Tether.
Why? If you post something publicly what’s the difference if 10 people see it, 1,000 people see it, or no one sees it?

Aside from both incidents happening in countries not particularly well known for long-term follow-up on the consequences of failures by the state...law of inverse squares is what saved a lot of people in these incidents. The source wasn't actually that close to them. In a dense city, a hypothetical terrorist probably wouldn't have to work too hard to get around this.

Some radiotherapy sources are stamped "DROP AND RUN." If you're able to read that, by the time you've read it, you're already in deep dogshit. The levels of radiation involved cause near instant cell death and odd sensations due to, well, the frying of the nervous system. You might live - but

The impact wouldn't be that high in terms of people injured/killed. The real impact would be on the public psyche, as well disruption of the health system when people showed up in ERs and doctors offices thinking they were exposed, clogging those systems for care of other patients. In that sense, as a terror attack, it would be highly successful.

It's really bizarre seeing a bunch of HNers downplaying how serious these sorts of incidents are. We're very lucky that the lost sources have never ended up in the hands of anyone but non-malicious actors. Now 'bad' people are far more aware of them...
The bandwidth alliance (https://www.cloudflare.com/bandwidth-alliance/) seems to be trying to do something about this, and build an ecosystem of companies that don't charge for egress to others. Presumably this is backed by legitimate open peering in internet exchanges, rather than metered links.

>(And, apparently, as I learned, there's a mixing valve at the hot water heater: i.e., the hot to the shower is not direct from the water heater, like I had imagined. We raised the temp there, slightly.)

When we changed from instant hot water to water tank + heat pump, the guy said the tempering valve was a safety thing (IIRC ours was set to 60 degrees Celsius by default, but could go up or down about 10 degree either way). That is, if you accidentally step in the shower with only hot water on you'll still hurt yourself but the damage will be limited to "strong profanity and aloe vera" instead of "you've won a stay in the burn ward".

Although saying this, I did a quick bit of research and found that 60 may still be too high [1]. I have an IR thermometer so I think I'll measure the temperature of my shower (after any loss from pipes etc.) and see if the tempering valve needs adjusting down.

kind of agree, but there are ways to improve it. Public transit can be an example where it (in some places and countries) mixes socio economic classes, maybe save for the highest wealth...

Additionally things like Cruise's driverless car can make driving more social again. Imagine being able to play a game or have a casual cup of coffee with a friend over a commute.
Yes well the progressive era was truly terrible. Food safety, environmental protection, monopolies etc. are really not something the Federal government should have any right to intervene in. After all the states had no issues handling all the before.. obviously…
Zune wasn’t the incumbent though.
I always end my showers with cool water because it works wonders for preventing dryness and itchiness on my skin. I use actually cold water to rinse my scalp.

This is all very different than a shower with no hot water mixed in whatsoever. Deepening on the climate and season, water that cold can cause physical harm. In other words, I'm betting most of these "cold showerers" are actually use cool water, not anything as dramatically cold as they might want us to infer.

Mostly, yes! Not quite just talking about repairing cars, but cars in general with a core of repair related stuff. One of them passed away in 2014 and to me the show can't be the same. But you can check out past episodes here: https://www.cartalk.com/radio/browse/

Interesting. But was it ever developed commercially? I can't find any consumer products actually using the counter (either for rental or for lock/jam-after-certain-plays). But that could just be because I'm using the wrong search term - I imagine that there is a brand-specific term and searching "VHS tape play counter" isn't helpful since all the results are for either repairing VCRs, or for accessing the tape counter functionality in the VCR.
I think that's uncharitable. Almost no one realized these things were being generated. We all assumed that links to github's "releases" were just links to files because they look like links to files! Here's one to Zephyr 3.2.0: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/archive/refs/ta...

You pull that and get a tarball that is presented to the world as an "official release". Looks like a file. Acts like a file. It's a file.

So now your package manager or reproducible build engine or whatever needs a reference to the "official source code release", and what do you point it to? That file, obviously. It's right there on the "release" page for the download. And of course you checksum it for security, because duh.

Then last week all of a sudden that file changed! Sure, it has the same contents. But the checksum that you computed in good faith based on the official release tarball doesn't match!

If there's a misunderstanding here, it's on github and not the users. They can't be providing official release tarballs if they won't guarantee consistency. "As documented", this feature was a huge footgun[1]. That's bad.

[1] Actually it's worse: as documented it's basically useless. If you can't externally validate the results of that archive file, then the only way to use it is to tell your users that they have to trust Microsoft not to do anything bad, because you can't make any promise about the file that they can verify!
One factor I'm not sure I'd relevant to games, is that psychoacoustic codecs are specialized for a specific sampling rate, and may have audible artifacts if the sound is repitched. Whether these artifacts are better or worse than ADPCM distorting audio (especially treble) is another question.

Very interesting! Looking forward to seeing more embedded AI devices coming out.

There is a setting to avoid skipping segments below X seconds if that's something you prefer. There is also an option to not skip anything if there is a full video sponsorship label, which probably will help in the scenario you are describing.

The Climate Town video is a sponsorship, and he clearly declares it as a sponsorship in the video, as I told you already on Twitter. Just because he says the word "grassroots" inside it doesn't make it not paid promotion.

People always ask me this when I complain about xcode and I don't understand where they're coming from. Have you developed apps for Linux or Windows? You don't need to use a specific IDE to sign your code, I can tell you that much.

Well, I haven't met one. All of the iOS developers I know tell me "Yeah, it's a weird bird, but you gotta learn it". Have you experienced otherwise?

For the First Time Hubble Directly Measures Mass of a Lone White Dwarf
The criminal activities of Pfizer have been known for a long time.

The appointment of Dr. Bernard Prigent, vice-president and medical director of Pfizer Canada, to the Governing Council of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, outraged many Canadian health researchers. Pfizer has been a “habitual offender,” persistently engaging in illegal and corrupt marketing practices, bribing physicians and suppressing adverse trial results. Since 2002 the company and its subsidiaries have been assessed $3 billion in criminal convictions, civil penalties and jury awards. The $2.3-billion settlement in September 2009 – a month before Dr. Prigent's appointment – set a new record for both criminal fines and total penalties. A link with Pfizer might well advance the commercialization of Canadian research – unhindered by law or morality. Is that now the only mandate, Dr. Beaudet?

It really shouldn't be surprising in the slightest that this is the outcome of rushing experimental vaccines with minimal preliminary tests and trials. Common sense, really.
> I often tell people that a child takes up an infinite amount of time and resources.

In so far as the resource(s) is marginally beneficial, why not? They have a much greater remaining expectancy and future value.

That being said sometimes telling a child/teen "no" actually has a higher marginal value than saying "yes".
Probably something like:

Do they genuinely expect someone in their third year of undergraduate study to read and even partially understand Newton's Principia Mathematica? It is famously unintelligible to modern readers, even those with knowledge of physics.

Our shower has two dials: temperature and pressure. The temperature dial has a specific temperature that it will "snap" to. (When increasing temperature, it will stop there unless you hold in a button. It doesn't snap when decreasing the temperature.) Generally, I find the temperature it snaps to quite pleasant, so I just put it at the snap temperature and then open for the water with the other dial.
Lack of composite resources in kubernetes itself is one of the most recyrring grievance I've heard. While I think it is a huge can of worms, what the idea might mean & hiw we'd handle it, and while we have many 3rd party options, with things like helm charts being installable & managable composite resources as well, overtime I do feel like having something very simple builtin might be very valuable unification.
> Scientists have used 3D lasers and CT scans to measure the precise geometry of a Stradivarius, but so far no one has been able to replicate its sound.

This is demonstratable false. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stradivarius#Comparisons_in_so...

> The Stradivarius instruments are famous for the quality of sound they produce. However, the many blind experiments from 1817[4][5] to as recent as 2014[2][6][1] have never found any difference in sound between Stradivari's violins and high-quality violins in comparable style of other makers and periods, nor has acoustic analysis.

A Stradivarius is a high-quality instrument, but there is nothing unique about it sounds compared to other high-quality violins. The value comes primarily from its artistic and historical nature rather its sound quality. There are modern instruments which sound better even if they are not as valuable.
Don't talk to state workers. Same as don't talk to the police. Anything you say cannot be used to help you in court, it is heresay. It can only be used against you.

We've 2 kids, 8 and 5 - both total book worms (and into Minecraft and biking and dude perfect and all sorts... But they love books).

Find stuff you'll enjoy reading to them. And read to them a lot. You've got the right idea.

MO Williams books are great for that age. The elephant and piggie books are fun, Annette's Baguette is brilliant. The Brambly Hedge books are lovely. Dr Seuss is mostly quite fun. Peter's railway (if they like trains or engineering at all), the Thomas the Tank engine books, the topsy and Tim books are ok...

But get lots of books from the library, charity / thrift stores. Get lots of books to try out, and have available for them to read. And if they aren't interested, you can always thrift them again. Hanging out at the local library can be good. No time pressure, just let them browse and look at whatever random things they want.

For slightly older kids, we've really enjoyed reading Hillary McKay, Terry Pratchett's kids books / short stories, Vivian French's books are great. and some of the classics are great too - EE Milne, the Paddington books...

Show HN: Emery.to – daily planner for busy professionals
We're building an app that helps people organise their days.

It brings together tasks, calendars and notes into a single UI, so one can easily plan their day, stay focused throughout it and review results later.

Some key features:

Integration with Google Calendar (multiple calendars/accounts supported), daily and weekly planning screens, separate section for the most important tasks of the day, drag'n'drop time-blocking for tasks, universal categories notes, tasks and calendar events, private notes for meetings

Our ask:

If you use daily planning in any shape or form (from writing your daily tasks on a sticky note to more advanced techniques such as bullet journaling), it'd be great to hear your feedback on our product.

Also, in case you like the product and decide to stay, we're happy to give a 20% discount to the people in this community (just use HACKERNEWS promo code).

P.S. We showed emery.to a few months ago and received a lot of feedback from this community. So, if you saw our previous Show HN, here's a short summary of the changes:

Weekly planning screen, completely redesigned daily screen, improved collections and weekly tasks, a separate page to find all completed tasks, credit card is no longer required to try the product, lots of small refinements in the UI
> The Google memo was hateful, anti-diversity, and he got exactly what he deserved (he was fired)

Yeah, this is flat out wrong. The "memo" (it wasn't a memo, but the media's gonna media) is publicly available and pretty short so we can trivially verify claims that it was "hateful" and anti-diversity. Notably, Damore's position on diversity via the document:

> I strongly believe in gender and racial diversity, and I think we should strive for more.

And his position on hate:

> Many of these differences are small and there’s significant overlap between men and women, so you can’t say anything about an individual given these population level distributions. ... Reducing people to their group identity is bad and assuming the average is representative ignores this overlap. (this is bad and I don't endorse that)

> According to his LinkedIn[0], he's been working at an unnamed startup for the past 4 years, so it's not like he was "cancelled" in any real sense.

I don't know anyone who defines "cancelled" as "permanently unemployable", but in any case I hope we can agree that getting someone fired for minor ideological differences is reprehensible. Maybe you would argue that these differences are very significant, but I don't see anything in the document that would fall outside of the American Overton Window (it's probably more moderate than many of his critics professed viewpoints on diversity, which is pretty obviously the actual reason he provoked such a reaction).

> And Lee Fang and David Shor are fine? I literally cannot find either controversy you're referencing on the front page of Google or Google News.

Lee Fang was harassed by colleagues and pressured to resign because he quoted MLK in support for non-violent protest and for Tweeting an interview with a black man who expressed concern about crime in his community.

David Shor is a data analyst who was fired for citing research on the efficacy of non-violent protest. He was fired because people on Twitter were contacting his company's management on Twitter and demanding his termination.

Of course, if your perspective is that firing someone for these kinds of minor ideological offenses is totally fine (so long as they're able to get another job?), then we're probably going to have to agree to disagree. That said, I doubt very much that the people celebrating or defending these terminations would be so cheerful when people on their side of the spectrum are terminated (and for whatever it's worth, I'm a left of center independent).
I worked at a high-pressure game company and I remember an engineer showing me a Counterstrike map they made of our company's office building, desks and all. It was amusing at the time, but in retrospect, maybe I should have said something to HR.
> I don’t think people can define legal standards for “well-being” distinct from “safety

Maybe I don’t understand the distinction you made then. If you can’t distinguish them legally, then what is the difference you’re talking about? Are you saying that well-being is safety, and police can and should be able to arrest people & parents for failing to be well?
