They don't have to structure it any other way. It's their product. It's their offering. There are alternatives whether you like them or not.

I'm not saying I'm happy that it's so closed. I wish it weren't, but I also respect that they have their own freedom to choose as well.
None of these three things require open borders, which the EU insists on.

In fact, the Canada has all three in common with the EU.

But the EU insists on open borders because they want social and political integration, not just economic integration.
Constitution gives federal government certain rights. Everything else is up to states.
So states could declare murder legal. But would probably fail as a 1st amendment violation. Which is part of the constitution is above federal law.

Now the constitution grants federal government, the right to regulate interstate commerce. Which has been abused horribly to regulate things that have nothing to do with interstate commerce.
It writes "The basic framework of the project is Tauri." and it also uses xterm which is also used by Hyper and Theia.

Microsoft has done this many, many times as well.
I was also banned by Facebook, but more so locked out by a shitty 2FA setup. I ported my old iPhone over to a new one, forgot the 2FA doesn’t come with google Authenticator, and even with the recovery codes in-hand, Facebook had no option to recover account.

I gave up on it for two years - finally, I reached out to a friend of mine who literally just started working there (I’m 19, he’s 21), and he raised an internal support ticket which generated temporary 2FA codes for me in 6 hours, and I was back in my account. Actually shocking how much nepotism can help you solve these problems.

Good luck OP.
The business model is fine¹ in that they can support their customers: the advertisers. Their users and their customers are very different populations.

> Scratching my head about whether I can call this part of my code from an async function because it might do filesystem operations or make a blocking network request. If I can’t, jumping through hoops to spawn an async task that can.

If you have code that needs to wait on IO (regardless of how fast or slow it could be, the point is that it's not predictable), and want to call it from an async function, why not make that code an async function too?

If it's library code, than yeah I agree it can suck. I tend to wrap those in my own API instead of inline spawning. At least it localises the uglyness, and that approach tends to compose well for me in practice. It does require a bit more code though, but my business logic code and plumbing code end up being separated and as a result easie to maintain too.

> Oh, now everything has to be static.

I will grant you that the static lifetime is a bit confusing until it clicks, but the issue is often that people have a wrong intuition about what a static lifetime bound means because it's introduced a bit clumsily and glossed over in the book.

I agree that async blocks feel a bit "smelly" syntax wise (for lack of better word).

I feel like some of these are just async woes that aren't trivial to solve, but I'd be surprised if the language teams weren't aware of this already and working towards solutions for these things. Async is very much MVP-ish in Rust anyway
Reducing package size can be in the interest of the user sometimes, e.g. if most people need less or won't use the whole package in time for perishables.

However it should be required to advertise the size reduction on the new packaging, including before and after price per amount.

Thanks. I remember that scene well. Herzog at his finest. I had the privilege of seeing Herzog speak in person at a conference around the time when this movie was released.
Not really. The richest American, aka 1/330,000,000 is is the top 0.0000003030303%, and is non other than Elon Musk, according to Forbes, assume you're referring to rich Americans (which excludes Bernard Arnault and Carlos Slim Helu), followed by Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison, Warren Buffett, and Bill Gates. All $100-billionaires. An amount so staggeringly higher than mere mortals that it does everybody a disservice to lump them in with mere millionaires. You may have heard of tech millionaire Linus Torvalds (net worth $50 million) or Urs Hölzle (Google; $10 million). The top 0.000003% have five orders of magnitude more money.

Everyone is closer to being a millionaire than any of the billionaires mentioned.

I found this visualization by MKorostoff very educational on just how staggeringly much money a billion dollars is.

It does seem random - I have submitted apps multiple times, and provided demo credentials for them to use (the app is gated, so you can't do anything without an account and logging in first).

In 80% of the cases they never even logged into the app before giving us the OK (all logins and actions are logged, so it is easy to tell)
if your severance package is "good enough" in your opinion, you mail it back in the box they send you

if your severance package isn't "good enough" in your opinion, you keep it and reformat it...eventually they tell you that your severance will go away unless you return the equipment

most returned equipment will just become e-waste, no one is going to breathe life into my four year old laptop

I see a lot of companies just telling people to keep it and use it as they see fit

some security types freak out about former employees being able to access "confidential" information on their own laptops after being terminated...newsflash: if we wanted to mail this stuff to North Korea we could have been doing it five times a day
Something smells here.

Does he or does he not want to publish to the App Store?

And it is kind of weird. Apple only wants signed applications on their devices. They grant a one-week exception for developers because they expect that application to be in constant flux. You should never need more than a week.

But you need to sign your code to run it on a more permanent basis. I look at it more like buying an SSL certificate.

Whether that's right or not for a smartphone/tablet, that's another discussion.

I really like DO. I was thinking though, awhile back the seemed like they suddenly got tons of money and starting pouring it into all these "initiatives" around the world as if they were a charity org. I found it odd at the time. Not that its related but seems a bit hypocritical to "splurge" on all of that stuff and then have to layoff lots of people a few months later.
That would make sense if a significant amount of their compensation stood to be made during the contraction.

However if your tenure is expected to outlast the contraction then you would make more money in the long run by planning for how to be in the best position to exploit the market conditions during the next upswing.

It's hard to do that if you layoff crucial staff that are part of your growth engine.
You should do some research on the drug they’re actually citing, Lamictal (lamotragine), if this is the impression you have/share with others.

It in no way is a “downer”, and is often given semi-offlabel interchangeably with standard SSRIs for depression. Also the article quotes $3/pill but is widely available as generic for < $.10/pill.

If this deeply studied—in humans—and readily accessible drug provides an option for those who seek treatment, wonderful.
I found this to be totally useless, I'm afraid. I'm persistently vaguely unhappy in my career and really would like for someone to tell me about ways I could make a good living with my relatively large set of skills and experiences, but this robot just parroted vacuous platitudes back at me.

This kind of thing, more than any of the other criticism of GPT-like technologies, makes me a little bullish on them. These models make a very strong first impression but I've never interacted with one than could sustain that impression for more than about 5 minutes except exclusively in the realm of 'generate plausible text,' which is precisely what these models are built to do.

I'm 100% certain they have enormous utility. I'm almost 99% sure that they aren't going to utterly change the world.
Sounds interesting but I'd very much appreciate knowing what the output any exploration capabilities look like in allocscope-view before jumping into installation, maybe add some screenshots to the readme. Poking around the code it looks like a curses-based interface.
This opens up the can of worms that is the state of Apple’s dev tools and documentation and whether they are putting the money to good use.
There is no law that requires compliance here, only incentives. Tesla has chosen to respond to incentives.
You still get the way better integration between chargers and car. One of the big benefits I've seen on in the "we took a road trip in these N different electric cars" genre of videos is that Tesla's navigation knows how many cars are there and the status of the chargers where other cars can get nearly stranded if you try to stretch to reach a charging point only to find it's broken with no indication it wouldn't work before you get there.
> an iphone without any app developers is almost completely worthless

The iphone has plenty of app developers even if there isn't a single third party app anywhere. Those app developers just work for Apple instead of a third party. I don't think Apple cares about having a thriving third party app ecosystem.
Superchargers are convenient because Teslas are fast charging. When these slower charging cars get access, it'll be more convenient for the owners of other types of cars at the cost of Tesla owners waiting in long lines to charge.
$99 per year is pennies if you are truly spending time with the platform. Apple could charge 10 times this and still make away like bandits, I think $99 is a good price point because it weeds out folks looking for an easy system to hack at. This is good.
>All of this just smells of greed

The line between making a profit and greed is often the subject of vigorous debate on HN. At heart it's a philosophical question. I'm reminded of discussions about price here often centering on Teenage Engineering's products, and whether their stratospheric prices are justified or not.
I have a pet theory that the reviewers have some quota of rejection that they must meet, so they're encouraged to reject apps for bullshit reasons.

About 20% of the updates to my app get rejected for no reason other than that the reviewer clearly didn't bother reading the attached review instructions. I have a hard time thinking that _all_ of them are this stupid, so nowadays I started thinking they do this on purpose.
That is a choice.
> I can understand it if you have brought on a lot of fat and you want to lean out your team and need an excuse but outside of that rather narrow situation

This doesn't really seem to be a rather narrow situation. The tech companies were hiring like crazy for the past two years. Quick googling shows that DigitalOcean increased headcount by 31% last year.

And contrary to the popular opinion here, for me this does sound like the right move for the time. The logic, on the growing market, was "let's hire people now for 200k TC and give 50k raise after a year, because year later they'll be asking for 500k TC upfront". Now it's clear the salaries won't be going to the moon in the nearest future, so it makes sense to cut the fat.

You need to look at the charging curve vs the peak charging rate. Teslas quickly derate from their peak rate.

> Operating systems could support START TRANSACTION on filesystem operations, allowing multiple operations to be performed atomically and with isolation

Windows supports that since Windows Vista [1], and at least back then it was used by Windows Update and System Restore [2]. But programming languages usually only expose the lowest common denominator of file system operations in easy APIs, so approximately nobody uses it. Also, it's deprecated by now.

But maybe someone here has deeper insights in what went right and wrong with that implementation, because on the surface it looks like it would erradicate entire classes of security bugs if used correctly.

Anyone with a high school degree should have been introduced to the concept of authoritative sources.
I’m not defending this, but after 15 years, I don’t see the point in complaining. We complain (rightfully) about the amount of crap in the App Store and Apple's capricious review policies that don’t stop the scammers, but for better or worse, the $99 fee IS a barrier to entry that I would argue has made the iOS ecosystem better than Android.

I’ve been paying $99 a year for early access to iOS betas and for my own test apps since the program debuted in 2008. I’ve never published an app in the App Store under my own account. But if I’m honest, I do feel I’ve gotten value out of that $1500 or whatever.

If it isn’t worth $100 a year to you, that’s fine. Plenty of people will sell you a slot on their account for less and give you a signing key. Or you can choose not to play. But it seems silly to bitch about something that has literally been the status quo since the inception of the App Store back in March 2008, when the iPhone SDK was released.

I should also note that the $99 in 2008 was significantly less than Apple used to charge for student access for Apple Developer Accounts for Mac before that. (Although those gave you nice Apple hardware discounts).
The final NEVI charger rules are available here: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/nevi/resources/ev_charg...

Among other things, it requires 97% uptime, CCS connectors, 150 kW minimum for every plug (power sharing allowed for capacity above that), payment via contactless credit/debit payment and either toll free phone number or SMS short code, must have a customer service system to report charger outages.
The support ticket email requested I reply back with that information: Details about the payment method on the account, the date and amount of the last transaction by DO, a photo of a government-issued ID, and a photo of you holding the ID next to your face.

I provided the payment details, the date and amount of the last transaction as text, a screenshot of my bank statement of the transaction, 2 forms of ID (passport & driver's license), and a photo of my face next to both ID's on January 23rd. I replied again on February 7th with the most recent date of my transaction and the amount paid.

No response.
That seems fixable if we were to build a new client / protocol
I agree with this point, though at least in theory this is a path for them to get more $ and therefore expand the network further/faster, also potentially increasing the size of the moat. We'll see if they actually do that, though, I guess.
You're totally right. Reckless driving abounds.

When I was first driving (16) I got a ticket for some silly thing like turning on red when I shouldn't have, so I went to 'diversion program.'

Every other person there was there for speeding, but the part that really got me was when the instructor asked everyone who thought they were a good driver to raise their hands, and we all did.

None. This company that "connects the people of the world" has no email, phone, chat...nothing. It's not like you can talk to them yet they won't listen, no...you can't talk to them at all.

This specific example is especially criminal, as the person is a paying customer (invested in ads).
Show HN: Tailwind Custom Color Palettes and GPT3
This was mentioned in the article from yesterday, https://theintercept.com/2023/02/14/whistleblower-image-crop...
I always think of this John Lennon quote:

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.

It's the day-to-day activities of life that are important. Even those great plans you're making, you're going to have to live through it day-by-day. The here and now is the only thing that actually exists.

As for an interesting anecdote, I had an episode where I suddenly and unexpectedly started not feeling well, was thinking I needed to lay down, and then found myself on the floor with my head on a pillow and my feet propped up. I was thinking, yeah, this is what I needed. It slowly dawned on me my wife was on the phone with 911 and was about to start chest compressions just before I came to. I heard sirens in the background and realized they were coming for me. I later learned I had slumped over in my chair.

When the medics arrived I had a very weak pulse and extremely low blood pressure. I have mild hypertension and I thought it rather funny that they were trying to increase my blood pressure en route to the hospital in the ambulance. I was extremely cold, a cold I've never experienced, which is weird because I'm always the one who's hot.

As I was laying on the gurney waiting to be admitted to the ER I had the realization today might be the day I die. I started laughing to myself as I realized nobody ever had "die" on their to-do list for the day. That gave me a deep insight into how optimistic we are - even the terminally ill never think today is going to be THE DAY. It was just an interesting observation on human nature.

Anyway, I'm fine. No blood clots, they checked my heart out and it's fine and I don't have any blockages. They don't know why it happened but I've since discovered others who've had a similar experience and like me, everything checked out fine and they never had any further issues. My own experience was over a year ago and I've had no other issues since.

Anyway, I'll leave you with this quote:

Live every day like it's your last

Because you never know which day will actually be your last. As I discovered regardless of your health condition we're always surprised when the end comes.
That's no "going back" to local manufacturing. Most places never had any real manufacturing in the first place, and the notion of replicating manufacturing infrastructure for consumer goods in every area is absurd. That idea is based on a complete lack of understanding over how supply chains work.

The CO2 emissions for transporting an iPhone from Asia are insignificant. The real emissions cost is in the manufacturing, not the transport.
The value of future earnings vs current earnings is all that matters.

Nobody wants income. They want capital gains.

Corporate profits are a necessary evil in the way to extracting out lower-taxed capital gains.

When interest rates go up, the value of future profits goes down, and the value of current profits goes up.

This means, if you're the CEO of DigitalOcean, and all you care about is the stock price... You fire people so you have more current earnings so your stock price goes down less, so 1) your pay goes down less, and 2) your shareholders are happier.

That's pretty much it.
>It's straight up lying and clearly defaming ARS by claiming they "have a history of spreading misinformation".

Its overall assessment of ARS may not be completely false.

For example, many knowledgable old users were banned for raising concerns about covid vaccine safety in the comment sections of articles with strong pro-covax slants. Those concerns are now considered valid by the mainstream and even ARS itself years later.
They could also have the supercharger locally store what car charged how much and when the system goes back up it charges the account. If there is no card on file then it'll be owed until that person connects a card. They could even send out a list of cars to each supercharger as a blocklist if they find abusers to help deter attacks and limit the downside.

Whenever I read about how humans are about to colonize Mars, I think about how much logistics it takes to keep even a single base with a handful of people populated on the South Pole. It's like Mars, but with plentiful oxygen and atmospheric pressure, plentiful (albeit frozen) water, shielded from radiation, low-latency communication with civilization, and is reachable by air and ground vehicles. Given how difficult and fraught it is to keep a few people alive down there, how does anyone expect to keep a few people alive on Mars, let alone build a colony there?
