Dear Britto, can you elaborate on the pogrom with the facts please.
No hyperbole, no lies, no hearsay. Please provide all proper sources. Or else, apologize for spreading fake news, smearing a group of people and ignoring or denying actual pogroms like that happened in Kashmir.

If you cannot do either, you need to wear the garland of shame, lies and more.
Hey there! Also from Belo Horizonte.

The polícia militar here is pretty tough. We can argue that compared to Rio's PM they are nice, but cases like this serve as a reality check.

I can't help but feel like there is something to do with the military aspect of the corporation. Do you think that demilitarisation of the Police would help with this kind of lack of empathy?

I tried perplexity.ai and asked it in which stadium did the chargers have their perfect season. It couldn't figure out that the chargers used to be the san diego chargers before they moved to LA and kept talking about their Los Angeles stadium even though they have never had a perfect season there.

In a related note, I love the cross-platform app SpeedCrunch as a "basic" calculator. It has an option to auto-copy the result to the clipboard, and you can also set/use variables. It also cold-opens immidiately.
I really like perplexity, but I've noticed that it sometimes summarizes the paper incorrectly, as in it cites it as concluding the opposite of what it actually concludes, so I always click through to read the papers/studies. It's great for surfacing relevant studies, though.
Sports Illustrated Publisher Taps AI to Generate Articles, Story Ideas
I’ve tried playing around with it quite a bit for the “choose your own adventure” type games.

It’s really good at generating text and following prompts. Letting later responses use the previous prompts and responses as input really gives the illusion of a conversation.

But it’s extremely limited… you run up against the limits of what it really can do very quickly.

Counterpoint: Nobody wants to subscribe to 100 services. If you're not in say somebody's top 3, that person is probably not going to buy your service. Therefore, if you don't believe that you will be in the top 3 for some fairly large number of people, you should not try to start your own consumer-facing service.

The BBC might correctly determine that, although it's a respected content producer, it doesn't have enough of that kind of power to make it work... except in the UK, where it already has a captive audience of "subscribers".

That applies at least until there is a universally adopted micropayment system, and maybe after that, too.

As someone that uses Edge by default, I see Google doing the same thing with Chrome. Various Google properties complain I'm not using Chrome. When I open chrome, it asks about being default... I never see Edge interfering.

I switched to Edge and Bing a few years ago and don't at all regret it. Switching was painless, the browser uses much less CPU on windows, it syncs across all devices including mac, all the chrome extensions still work, and search results on bing are better than google in my testing.
Anything to make Teams better I would certainly appreciate bc it's a daily annoyance to use in any meaningful way.
This is a great answer, thank you. However this assumed the atmosphere is 45 km high and it seems very unlikely that these gases are light enough to go that high. If you assume the gases only go 1km in the air wouldn’t that assume a radius roughly 40x your initial estimate, or at least 1800 km to be within the 1 ppm threshold.
> The smaller the company, the less distinction there is between "the company" and "the people who own it". So it's possible to have something like loyalty/trust with the company if you have loyalty/trust with the people in charge

I understand what you're getting at, and this is why I support small businesses both with my money and politically, and when I can, by working for them. If someone has to look you in the eye when they screw you over, they're less likely to screw you over. And on the flipside, this is why I generally despise large corporations. More often than not, "scale" is achieved by creating enough distance between those in charge and those not in charge, and then mercilessly exploiting those not in charge.

But ultimately, the distinction between business and business owner will always be there at any size company, and loyalty, if it exists, will always be a trait of the business owner, not the business.

I don't mind newspapers using paywalls. I even pay for a couple of newspapers myself.

I just wish Google search would block all such newspapers. I'm probably not going to subscribe to any more newspapers, so all the walled results are just extra spam on top of my search results.

It seems to me newspapers want to have their cake and eat it too.

It's odd that image AIs are not ready to overlay text. If you ask Dall-E or Midjourney also to say a few letters they do lots of nearest random neighbors by not just scrambling the idea of the word but also scribbling anything on top that it thinks looks remotely like writing but is not in any language. Maybe it's still developing the ability to read and maybe secretly creating a completely new script and lang.

Ok. Mozilla is in the US, so they are choosing not to host this as hosting it may cause them to be violating the DMCA and subject to criminal prosecution.

True, but there has to be some kind of limiting definition of 'non-investment security', because otherwise any business offering a 'money back guarantee' when they sell a physical product is selling an unregistered security. Hence it should be a very tall order for the SEC to attempt to label non-investment things as securities.
Stagnant feature requests are the least of Teams' problems.

It's a slow buggy resource hog that crashes frequently.

Features keep getting added but until they address the fundamentals, all they're doing is polishing a turd.
Bluntly: I really don't think you do.

You think you do, but you don't.

Imagine you hit that paywall, and it says "get a subscription or pay 0.50c to see this one article".

You seriously want me to believe you're gonna go bust out your wallet and punch in your credit card details and pay a fraction of a dollar instead of just closing the window and moving on?

Okay, how about we reduce the friction and do the Post.news thing: you buy tokens and then use them.

Are you really gonna go buy ten or twenty bucks worth of tokens for the few times when you hit a paid article?

Sorry, no. I don't buy it. Every time I see someone say this, it honestly just sounds like an attempt to justify busting down that paywall or refusing to subscribe. "Gee, I would have paid for this article, but I can't... oh well."

Ala carte payment friction combined with uncertainty about the value of the content (what if I pay a quarter and the article turns out to be garbage?) reduces the value of content to zero for most people. There's a reason no one has been able to make it work.
The stimulus in 2020 and 2021 was historic and caused rapid economic growth, therefore companies hired in response to that growth.

The rise in interest rates from 0.25% to 4.75% is meant to slow economic growth, therefore companies need to adjust to a period of slower growth. The higher interest rates work primarily through the real estate market, slowing construction, but this means less consumers, and therefore less income for companies.

Keep in mind, the banks raised rates rapidly as soon as they knew the Fed was going to raise rates. The Fed took many months to get to 4.75% but the banks jumped ahead and raised rates almost instantly.

In 2020 many CEOs needed to plan for hypergrowth, in 2023 many CEOs need to plan for a possible recession.

The money I spend becomes income for a company, and when that company pays you a salary, and you buy something from my company, then they money you spend becomes my salary. Everything goes around in a circle. Therefore, it doesn't matter how much debt a company has, but it does matter how much debt other people have. If other people suddenly need to pay more interest on their debts, then they have less money to spend whatever it is that your company is selling (unless you work at a bank).

It's an interesting question...
DuckDB is a library. Just like SQLite is a library.

It's not designed for concurrent queries, clients connecting to a database, etc. I know there will be companies built around that problem space.

If "serverless" database is a thing, is there a category of software that is "production-less"? :)

(The above is a joke, lol.)
Expecting an issue to be present doesn’t automatically make it a non-issue. It’s useful to have such issues listed. It’s not a moral judgement.
It is like we have unlocked an entirely new category of stereotyping that we never even realized existed.

Intelligence is not a prerequisite to speak fancifully.

Some other examples:

1. We generally assume that lawyers or CEOs or leaders who give well spoken and inspirational speeches actually know anything about what they're talking about.

2. Well written nonsense papers can fool industry experts even if the expert is trying to apply rigorous review: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokal_affair

3. Acting. Actors can easily portray smart characters by reading the right couple sentences off a script. We have no problem with this as an audience member. But CGI is needed for making your superhero character jump off a building without becoming a pancake.
Social Security was introduced as a solution to the problem of economic security for the elderly. If we fail to meet this goal, and people see the consequences of the failure, it would likely be a bad look for politicians; public support for the program will rise, and the program will be reformed.

Ask HN: Would anyone find this system fair?
I work for a large non-tech company, it operates a tier based salary system.

Everyone on the same level gets the same base pay and those who perform well, get a bump and bonus now and then.

On my team there are a few developers. I am the only senior. The others have little to no experience.

We are paid the same.

I believe they are over paid for where we live.

I do all of the project planning, code reviews, bug fixes, requests etc. I don't see how the other devs could possibly steer the ship. There is little to no confidence in the others carrying on successfully if I suddenly stopped.

I'm beginning to tire of this cycle as I am doing all the hard work and they are getting an easy ticket.

No one else in the company has this know how, so it is up to me to mentor and guide these developers. I do my best but I feel like I am not being treated fairly, compensation wise.

I brought it up with my manager and was told I would be rewarded, it was a miniscule improvement. I got enough to would cover a few extra coffees.

I don't want to quit as my last job ended quite abrubtly and I want to fatten up this portion of by resume.

Does this system seem fair to anyone else? Anyone in a similiar position?
Strange, I have uBo too and it didn't (on mobile)
You are being needlessly sensitive to the parent post.

The parent is making a distinct difference between what the industry typically refers to as "burnout" and what actual, physical, burnout is. As someone who has gone through phases of burnout and currently working through yet another one in my career I can attest the parent's definition IS the correct one.

You are not burned out when you are bored at work. You are burned out when you are so tired of doing something that you cannot bring yourself to not only do it, but anything else. When you need drugs to get through the day. It's a combination of depression/anxiety/fear of failure that manifests as what I can only describe as a feeling of wanting to disconnect from everything forever and sleep. The only solution is to disconnect for a long time. I, for example, have not programmed as a hobby in almost half a decade. It's the only way I can stave off repeated bouts of severe life crippling burnout.

Be far less sensitive. Also, perhaps you should try to experience burnout before a needlessly pedantic out-of-nowhere virtue signal.
Absolutely! I’ve avoided hyper growth companies for many years and I’m very glad I made that decision. There are sometimes attractive salaries and roles at these places, but ultimately you are most likely to become irrelevant and disposable. Even if you’re a particularly talented and capable person, very few companies are run well enough to ever expose and utilize that. Your career is at risk of stagnating, I think.

There are exceptions of course. The risk to reward ratio seems pretty bad to me, though.
Amazing to read, I was excited to see this 2 days ago, thanks for your trust!
You trust your distro to make choices that align with your preferences. Personally I've always preferred distros that change upstream as little as possible, but other distros make other choices on this, which is also entirely reasonable.

Assuming this proposal is implemented as stated – which I don't expect it will – then I'd expect some distros to disable it by default. Go already provided the tools to set these kind of things globally in a recent release (1.20 or 1.19 IIRC) with a global go.env file.
