I decided to test the extension again and figured out what the "loading..." issue is.

When the extension displays the about page, it does so in a popUp box. This popUp box needs room on the screen. Usually this popUp box is quite small.

@matznerd's page wouldn't load sometimes because his comment was basically centered on my screen. There wasn't enough space to create the popUp box needed to display his larger about page profile.

When I scrolled the page - pushing @matznerd's comment to the top of my screen - the extension would load his about page instantly - in a super large (centered) popUp box.

@some_furry never loaded because (1) his comment was too low on the page (not enough room to generate the very large centered popUp box) and (2) his about page was too many lines. @some_furry's about page was never going to load because there was never going to be enough space on the screen to generate the popUp box.

The blinking "Loading..." was not that it was trying to retrieve the about page. Retrieving the about page was never the issue. It was trying to generate the popUp box and failing. Each time it failed, we would see "Loading..." again - which is why it kept blinking.
Certain areas like... selling satirical fake layoff notices? This is really going to disrupt that market! Nobody will ever have to pay hundreds of contractors to write satirical nonsense layoff notices again.

But thank you for your project, it's coming up with some pretty hilarious stuff, it made me laugh.

Hell yeah. Finally schematics and PCBs with aesthetic text.
What if the type was a "Some1975Struct" that got passed? Then that would give a huge blaring error because it's not the same type as a "Some2022Struct".
I don't know the state of that and I'm not about to put it in my google history, so I'll take your word for it. But even if google gave you good info, it's a lot harder to level a building in the US these days because the AN part of ANFO bombs are a lot more regulated in the wake of the Oklahoma City Bombing.
These bots are becoming too human! This conversation reminds me of a time when I tried to explain the meaning of the less-than sign to someone. They thought that the <50mW label on a laser meant the power output was over 50mW. Despite my best efforts, the argument went on for a while with no results. Looking back, I recognize that some of the fault was mine for I failed to realize that this person had invested their ego in the argument, and therefore no amount of evidence could change their mind.
All three were headed to Canada and the latest two were already in Canadian airspace before being taken down by the US military. Reports don't make it seem like they were anything Canadian forces wouldn't be able to handle on their own, so why is the US military so concerned with patrolling Canadian skies? If you want to run with the given theory, perhaps it is that Canada is well aware of them and doesn't want them surveilling Canadian lands, thus the US military is taking them down at their expense to keep peaceful relations.
How many videos can you validate in a day? When someone watches 37 TikTok remixes in a row, how are they going to stop and check which ones are legit and which ones are fake?

Bigger aperture is always better until you're going through a scattering medium and now the different parts of the beam get different scattering.
The 2015 US Transgender Survey cited in your link was commissioned by the National Center for Transgender Equality (an organization that was founded by a transgender activist).

The study was performed online and links were posted exclusively in transgender support forums.

Your standards for "evidence" reach the heights of biased activist SurveyMonkey CSVs? I'm convinced!
They are blocked by MATCH. They will be banned from all of those as well.
Watching more of the marketing videos, they show someone using a video game controller to engage targets. Why are they doing that? Why not just have computers do the aiming and you just hit 'k' for kill on your keyboard??

Is there something related to 'human in the loop' in the geneva convention because it seems a lot like a waste of time and effort.
The biography I read on Leonardo da Vinci, is simply titled "Leonardo: The Artist and the Man". Leonardo is a unique enough name to non-Italian audiences that using it alone in reference to a inventor/scientist/artist is no less clear than "da Vinci".

I was going to say this was too unrealistic, then I remembered what timeline we're in.
If memory serves, dev.to tends to be downranked or outright filtered by a bunch of places.

(I have no idea how or why that came about, I've merely observed people having all sorts of trouble getting posts on there visible in aggregators and etc.)
> many people who use Matlab are something else first.

Pretty much, they're lab techs, engineers, physicists, etc. who gather and work with data as a primary role more so than programmers.

> convince me the typical employer wants to hear 1 over 2.

I can't, typically they're indifferent and they'll even take someone who has worked mainly with R.

In my own experience a typical employer who asks about Matlab is seeking numerically competant employees to work with data, to create and look at plots and graphs, to run simulations, etc.

They're typically more concerned with a prospects potential to do the role than they are with the specific tools used in the past, and will generally ask if prospects think they can work with in house tools or about the cost of bring tools the prospect wants to use in house.
> Capitalism demanded
The nature of supply and demand means that adding people to the workforce lowers the bargaining power of individual workers, regardless of their sex, which lowers wages. Once a certain amount of women started to work without their spouses stopping to work, most women and men had to work to support the family.

Socialist countries like the USSR are no different, but due to another tradeoff. By ignoring the nature of supply and demand in favor of a command economy, they had massive losses in efficiency in a way that forces everyone to have to work, and even then only producing mediocre results.
It should be 50/50. But maybe Copilot left a backdoor in my codebase to make itself look more empathetic.

What I'm saying is, I take 0 accountability for this not functioning as expected.
I mean, it 100x’d the productivity of a project where the measure of success is legible content that’s adequately mad-libbed. ;) I think the PR people writing these layoff notices don’t have anything to worry about for at least… 3 months minimum.

But I got a good laugh out of it! Good job!
I don't think it was a morals issue. The rumours were that Musk wanted to turn Twitter into an (even more) unmoderated hate speech cesspool and drive off most of the (wealthy) userbase. Under that possibility advertisers were wise to wait and see instead of buying slots early (even if then they lost the usual discount).

That didn't happen, and Twitter is now about as terrible as it's ever been, so they're coming back.

Ohio catastrophe is ‘wake-up call’ to dangers of deadly train derailments

Ask HN: Ways to Maximize Income
I’m doing great at work, but working for pay bumps has diminishing returns.

I’m impactful, but this also seems to have a limit.

Within the last year I got a 16% bump, but I’m trying to do better.

I can take on more work, but I don’t think that would result in more pay.

I’ve thought about getting a second remote job (SWE or similar).

What alternatives exist besides switching companies?
Oh goodness, a customer support agent that emphatically insists their company's product is behaving correctly despite being presented countless pieces of evidence to the contrary? Unimaginable!

In all seriousness, msft owns Dynamics 365, giving them all sorts of real customer support data. I wonder to what extent this was trained on that.
I usually see these binary dependencies in node projects:

Wishful thinking at best, more likely deliberate deception.
"“thousands of women streamed through the streets of the Lower East Side,” Hyman writes, “breaking into butcher shops, flinging meat into the streets, and declaring a boycott.”"

Sounds like a little more than a boycott. It also says the ly continually assaulted butcher shop patrons and smashed windows. The article also ends saying that the price was originally 12¢, went to 18¢, the boycot happened and it went to 14¢, then the boycott ended and the price went back up. So it wasn't even successful?
The problem with this concept in a competitive field is other people are likely to have a similar slope and a higher y-intercept.

Unfortunately, rare 'orphan' diseases are under-funded because there aren't enough patients to make them profitable.

That's not true. Genzyme (acquired by Sanofi for $20B) has a whole portfolio of orphan disease drugs, they do nothing else.

The success of rare disease drugs actually inspired a lot of big pharma to get into it too.
But why is this REALLY "more powerful than first party isolation"? I don't need this feature every day, in case I do - just create separate profile and it's easy to run it right from toolbar. The only usecase I can remember: specific domains can be automatically opened in container - and that's a good feature to have, but not really a dealbreaker. Another difference: organization as a tab in the same window - not that really needed, just a different UI for not commonly used feature.

> If you attempt to go near larger commercial shipping lanes you are required to have them at least were I live, they are not optional here.

Not required in the US, but not a bad idea to hoist one in fog.

Although these days, an AIS transmitter is a better answer. But a prudent mariner never trusts a single point of failure, so might as well do both.

Admittedly I don't always hoist the radar reflector in the heavy fog near the Golden Gate bridge, but I always transmit AIS in low visibility (and monitor it).

With different profiles you have different settings -> completely independent connection settings, if you want. What's the difference here with Chromium profiles for example?
I think you're dramatically overestimating the likelihood that artifacts would survive in recognizable form for millions of years. I do think we can be reasonably sure that there was no advanced technological society let's say 50,000 years ago. But 20M years ago is another story. 5M years might be another story.

Whether you'd find fossils of an advanced technological species at a point in their history when they might have a population of billions seems incredibly contingent on unknowable things about their culture. But the question of whether you'd find fossils of them from their prehistoric period (in which their population would not necessarily be enormous), or of their evolutionary ancestors seems less contingent, and very plausibly you wouldn't.
The way I read it, The reason Americans don't have healthcare is because of all the money that gets spent on the Department of Defense. If that $800 billion were spent on healthcare does Americans, I imagine a lot of the callousness could be worked out.
Yes! Pretty psyched about the `kicad-cli`. Software CI/CD feels miles ahead of of hardware CI/CD - stuff like this is awesome for pushing forward on that front

People are up in arms about nation states restricting the application of cryptography which is essentially an application of mathematics. AI is also just another form of an application of mathematics with a different outcome. Seems unreasonable to ban one flavor of maths and not another.
This. The disease has many similarities to normal aging (wrinkles, blocked arteries) but many things that aren't (scleroderma, misshaped face).

I think it's a mistake to assume that some treatment for progeria would be a treatment for aging in healthy humans.
You're going to probably have to use two different sets of software for that.

We use Jira for project management, and then Avolution ABACUS for the actual EA Repository. There's not really a tool that gets "into the weeds' with development and project management, but generally you can import/export relevant info like KPIs and feed roadmaps from ABACUS.
Oh boy...

> Important message: 15% layoffs at Intel due to Scientology

> Bob "The Sceptic" Swan, CEO at Intel

> Things started to unravel last month when we began to notice suspicious activity beginning to take place on our campus. After some investigation, it was revealed that our catering staff and security team had been quietly converting to Scientology. Unbeknownst to us, the adoption of the creed had an unexpected consequence on our workforce - namely, a complete lack of productivity. Despite our best efforts to resolve the issue, the productivity levels have not recovered and so, after much deliberation, we have decided to let go of 15% of the staff.
This feels like some Chineese college level advance engineering capstone project.
I think the error is to assume staying with the current regime is non-violent.

Maybe some urged the population to be cautious and patient in the eighties. Look where it got them.

I am not saying a regime change is going to be peaceful, I am not saying it cannot be worse. I am saying they waited decades and it's only getting worse with the current regime. Asking them to exert caution feels sanctimonious and insensitive, this was what I was trying to convey in my initial message.
Doctors are always thinking about the potential for harm in their therapies but you don't always have a lot of options. For example, amoxicillin is the standard of care for strep but some people are allergic. Azithromycin is also standard but overuse of macrolides is driving resistance in organisms that are already resistant to other antibiotics.

I understand the article is really trying to reach into medicine to find the reason to push back on other actions. If doctors recognize they can cause harm when they try to heal, so must other practitioners, presumably politicians, bureaucrats, engineers, marketers, activists, parents, etc.

It's not enough to identify the problem. We can bias for or against intervention. But neither bias is scientific or necessarily likely to produce a good outcome without externalities or adverse effects. Ideally we would try more things with small samples and also try to understand externalities, comparing that to other possible interventions or nonintervention. However, the status quo bias also has an implicit blind spot, which is assuming that things will remain the same. Unfortunately, conditions do change.

We also have a problem with the moral aspect of the question. Who has the right to intervene? Who has an obligation? Is it moral to decline to intervene? If you intervene for good reasons, but cause bad outcomes, is that a moral failing? Is one person's assessment of the outcome more morally correct than another's?
The big problem is that default styling for the "semantic" HTML form elements still seems stuck for a CRT desktop display of the 90s.

There are already laws against fraud.

What you are talking about is simple prior restraint on computer generated art, in the cases where the speech is not already covered by fraud laws.
If you had to reduce each candidate to three bullet points, "workers" wouldn't have made the list for Warren, but trying to stab the leader of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party in the back with a cheap accusation of sexism certainly would have made the list.

Clearly there is a large constituency for class-oriented progressivism. Sanders wouldn't have been able to win California, Nevada, and Colorado, and hold his own in Texas, otherwise. What Warren proves is that adding identity politics to the mix is a losing proposition, even in the Democratic Party.
Many things, I'd argue. Meat industry causing animal suffering. Social media, tobacco, fast food industries causing human suffering. Oil and gas industry causing environmental destruction.

What direct suffering does algorithmic trading cause? It would take quite the narrative spin to argue that it's as bad or worse as one of the above industries.
One way to solve this is to lower the supply of labor. This has to be done very aggressively to work though, such as the following:
- massively reducing immigrant intake, especially outside of the top-tier paying fields
- legislate dramatically reduced working hours, i.e. 3 8-hour day workweek or similar, providing exceptions only at very high salary ranges

Of course, as what we've seen during the past year in the US, this is going to create high inflation.

The other method, which I much prefer, would be to lower the cost of living, while only modestly limiting immigration and working hours (still need to be reduced compared to current levels). By far the easiest way to do so would be popping the housing bubble, Japan-style, by building tons of extra housing and bankrupting private equity groups gobbling up houses, which would release further housing on the market. Perhaps a government agency can buy up some properties to rent out at a breakeven price.

It's fine to discuss others' affairs, but actually going as far as to contact state representatives (read: spam them) when you aren't their constituent over stuff like this is a subversion of democracy.

any alternative for chromium?
it was probably whatever concurrent.futures does. I use plain threads and get great results for anything under 25 threads on a small laptop. you always keep the same set of threads running in a pool and use a decent queueing model.

certainly, doing that kind of thing with asyncio likely has a lower learning curve because you don't need to worry about "pools of workers" so much. concurrent.futures should do that for you also but that would be the first place I don't trust
A call to "ban AI" on HN is one of the lowest point I've seen in my 15 years on this site.

Not only is the behavior that is being complained about (people fraudulently pretending to be something they aren't) already illegal in most jurisdictions the unintended consequences of such a poorly thought out policy are complete unconsidered.

The objections are obvious but to list some:

* Behavior should be regulated, not technologies. Otherwise someone will use an alternative technology to perform the same attack and it won't be covered.

* This behavior is already covered by fraud regulations

* How would you even "ban AI" when people can't define it

* The only approach that could be considered would be to take a licensing approach to writing any software. The downsides to this are considerable and hopefully self-evident to this audience.
If you're just discussing it with him, that's fine. If he specifically asks for your opinion, you're fine to give it to him.

But under no circumstances should you try to unilaterally influence or coerce him in some way. That's overstepping the line.
