I'm not sure anyone has ever suggested that Twitter (in general) is a reliable source of information, so I'm not sure why you bring it up. Apart form that, perhaps I am misunderstanding, but you seem to be saying that you decided not to trust the news because you saw a typo in a news story 25 years ago. I'm doing my best to be charitable here, but how can that possibly make any sense?
I am not a native English speaker, so my cultural priors might be way off, but I think those two things are quite different. Lying is making statements that the speaker knows are false.

An attempt to mislead is stressing some parts of the actual information and omitting or obfuscating other parts to promote a specific viewpoint. But not actually making false statements. This is literally what most of the layers do much of the time in court.

To me, this is a much lesser evil, as a rational person can detect the spin and probe for missing parts, which is what the judge and opposing lawyers work on.

Lying is a much bigger deal because it is harder to expose through rational exploration. Possible, but requires more external facts. In a court, a spin is a normal part of the defense, but being caught in a lie is likely to doom the case. My 2c.

I have two friends that had AirBnB rentals, they've both given up. The initial novelty and fun quickly wore off and became a grind. The local LLC with 10+ properties will stay the norm now I think.
Would love it if climate change could steal some of my northern ontario winter, please and thank you.
This isn't much of a consolation, but you've always been able to see the true "all in" total price in search and on the map by browsing https://airbnb.com.au as this is legally required in Australia. It's been that way since at least 2015. More notes on using this technique here: https://jake.tl/notes/2022-05-how-to-airbnb
At least here in Britain I recognise a lot of the news outlets I prefer often print total crap. I wouldn't say there's much of an answer in censorship (for instance the existing limits on what can legally be called 'corrupt' already go too far). But I'd call into question incentives for sure, because some journalists seem to act without self respect in the levels of barrel scraping they go to when clearly trying to contrive a story to conform with some particular direction.

I could elaborate but the short version for me is: If we could decouple editorial direction from funding sources I think we'd end up much better off.
It was journos who started the "fake news" meme. I believe they were complaining about completely fabricated clickbait like "Pope endorses Trump". The journos were seemingly unaware that their own perceived fakeness would be much more salient.
Notably, this is identical to the behavior you get from @scope's nesting, and from passing a complex selector to an `el.querySelector()`.

(We discussed adopting Sass's behavior in <https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8310#issuecomment...> but ultimately dropped it.)
It's contracting! You don't even have to manipulate it because every arbitration company will compete to be more favorable to the people paying them!
Well tbh I didn't realize that Thunderbird had an Android release. Looks to be about a year old? That's super new in the history of Thunderbird, and I don't know anything about how it works.

If there's no theming support, then yeah, at minimum a dark mode is a totally reasonable request.

edit: or were you talking about HN?
This.

Problems that actually require such efforts should be exceedingly rare. If they're not, then there's a deeper issue in the production process that desperately needs fixing.

You don't want developers (or anybody) to be working that hard on a regular basis. Burnout is real, and in the long run the practice will cost the developers and the company dearly.
Or... feed it with misleading counterintelligence to throw your competitors off the scent.
I left Google recently, partly over the fact that they strongly disincentivize taking technical risks.

Let's just level set for a second:

* Peer bonuses are a fixed $175 and spot bonuses are usually under $1000, and pretty much always under $5000.

* The coveted "feats of engineering award" (or whatever they changed the name to this time), which has the highest prestige factor of any of the internal awards, is $2000 cash or a trip somewhere.

* A senior SWE at Google makes about $300k. A Staff SWE makes $400-500k. An entry-level SWE makes $150-200k.

What this means is that the only REAL reward on offer (other than a token amount of cash and a serotonin-inducing certificate) is a promotion. Promotions almost always come when you launch products (actually, they changed the benchmark to "landing" products, which seems to always happen about 6-12 months after launch after the bugs are worked out).

Launches at Google are almost always significant efforts - either in terms of engineering around the company's arcane systems that are changing underneath you or in terms of getting through all of the process checks that ensure your service is "googly." Further, to go from a "launch" to a "landing" is mostly a political process: you have to convince enough of your management team that you have met some arbitrary milestone that indicates a stable product. As such, people are not too happy to take significant technical risks if they involve spending more than a few months on a project - if you want to get promoted, wasting time on something that might fail is bad. Why would you want to "land" a risky product when you can "land" something that is already on the roadmap?

Additionally, Google offers pretty much no promotion credit to engineers for "prospecting" - what I will call the process of identifying products that should go on the roadmap. That means that if you go out and do this sort of work, you are actively hindering your career: if you go prospecting, you are going to spend months not "landing" things. Conversely, prospecting seems to be a very good way to get peer and spot bonuses.

This is why Google provides no real benefits for taking technical risks. The only real reward is promotion, and promotions come mostly from following the roadmap, not from rocking the boat. The other awards and bonuses are basically toys by comparison.
Congress & Biden stabbed them in the back. It's easy to blame the president for everything, but if we want actual change we have to hold everyone involved accountable.
Some of the stuff they covered was ridiculous, too, but they guy was an absolute machine for creating gaffes and outrageous behavior. Giving him the same treatment as any other candidate would still have looked like "picking on him".

If anything, they didn't pick on him enough for some things—I still can't believe the man became President after suggesting his supporters might assassinate his opponent, if she won. And that wasn't spin or bias, that's just what he did, the whole thing's available for anyone to watch. When he did that and his campaign kept trucking along without a hitch was the moment I decided our democracy itself was in danger (which turned out to be very right—maybe I should join a think-tank or become a political commentator or something, I also got a ton of the course of Iraq more-correct than most commentators)
He's publishing it because it is more of the same reactionary crap that he's getting rich off of. The difference between him and an actual journalist is that a journalist would wait until they were done with the investigation to write a story. He needs more eyeballs than that to justify his existence.
It repeatedly astonishes me that vast swathes of the world that claim to be developed don't have regular and frequent vehicle inspections.
Also see the history of "window" (chaff) in World War II. R&D people for both the Allies and the Germans realised, as improvements of the new "radar" continued, that radar doesn't see a difference between an aeroplane and a suitably sized radio-reflecting object, say a strip of foil. So, if you chuck a bunch of these foil strips out of a plane, now the enemy radar is full of "planes" that don't really exist.

Both sides stalled deployment of this trivial yet effective countermeasure because they believed once they used it their opponents would immediately understand how it was done ("Gee, immediately after the German bombers did that trick which messed up our radar we found loads of metal strips in trees all over the area they attacked...") and so copy it - and both had "official" estimates made which said their opponents would surely benefit more than they would once it came into use.
CERN has published specific licenses for FPGA development, reviewed by lawyers and used by actual developers:

https://ohwr.org/project/cernohl/wikis/home

It takes your concerns in consideration, and much more. For FPGA the CERN-OHL-W is the usual one.
Yup. In Ontario, it feels like something is broken. Most of Jan and Feb was above freezing. Usually there’s only a handful of days above freezing.
Maybe you are right and I am naive.

There's propaganda everywhere and it is hard to get the real picture.

I checked the Russia/Ukraine Peace negotiations of 2022 (Wikipedia). Russia seemed to be interested in striking a deal. (1)

And I agree: a deal makes no sense if you can't trust your adversary.

Actually I'm not capable getting the official position of Russia towards negotiations. For example I can't parse this statement of Peskov:

You can access stuff in a different way of course. Each sheet is also a python object, so you can just go Sheet1[20, 20] or Sheet1[10:20] if you like that way better
Even Telegram's encrypted chats have not had nearly enough analysis to be trusted. They used to use some bad home-grown techniques, now it's just "probably secure enough".

Their client code also isn't really open source, even though they claim it is. While Signal has reproducible builds.
Just curious, why would you use an AirBnB near where you live?
Hotels are always cheaper than Airbnb nowadays, and a much better experience.

I can’t think of a single positive thing about Airbnb anymore.
I believe they used to do `--depth` but GitHub complained because their systems weren't optimized for that and it ended being cheaper for the servers to send you the whole thing (much easier to figure out what refs you needed, or something along those lines).

Working on a Mac wouldn't be the same without Homebrew. Thanks for all the hard work!
Unfortunately when offshore employees steal or sell PII and do fraudlent activities the U.S. has limited means to go after them. We need to hold corporations more accountable (i.e. heavier fines) whenever fraud and fraudulent activities occur under their umbrella. Perhaps then corporations will weigh how much U.S. employees are deterred by U.S. criminal law and jurisdiction...
I don't think so. It's exactly the same as the original (give or take fonts). The original you see is a daisywheel printed version, so much less dense. If someone had output the doc on a phototypesetter way back then, it would have looked much the same as the "new PDF". fwiw the main point of developing Unix was to facilitate this kind of "room-top publishing".
There has to be a poe's law equivalent for gender issues at this point, if the article is anyway political someone's gonna mention it because uhh they gotta be mad at someone
We've just gotten to the point where views are not cross pollinated. Local news is not really local are much as it's controlled by a couple of companies with their own agenda so the same view is presented over and over and over again. In addition they've convinced the populace that the other side is evil so people have become tribal and only watch "their news" and that just feeds the loop. They don't have to conceal anything, it can be right there in front of them and it won't matter because they won't believe it because their tribe tells them it's a lie.
So you can make a grid with less than 40 quantum atom pairs, each of which is coupled in some way to another atom, and since measuring one atom guarantees the other atom is in the opposite state, you can bypass Heisenberg uncertainty.

But wait. To solve an NP problem of size n, you need square(n) atoms. But 40 atoms is barely more than 36, so you can solve a NP problem of size 6, which is easy and possible.

I think brute force on an NP problem is factorial(n)
So factorial(6) == 6 ! == 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 == 720.

Am I misunderstanding something here ?
The reasons an employer might want to ditch an employee and the reasons why an employee might want to leave are not not symmetrical, so it isn't obvious that notice periods should be symmetrical.

For employees a long notice period to leave could mean not being able to take a great opportunity that comes along because it won't be available long enough.

For employers a long notice period to fire is just a short term monetary cost. For most businesses it won't affect the rest of the business. Businesses, except for very small ones, generally are not going to have to turn down some new great opportunity that comes along because they happen to still be paying someone they are in the midst of letting go.
I think the meaning comes from within you. I talk all the time with people who have worked a string of prestigious jobs and they say things like "I realized I can't have any impact working at a FAANG" which may be true but that attitude seems to be constant even when the job is not content.
I agree with the sentiment, but local papers are dying. My hometown paper is still locally owned, but I suspect it will be bought up by Gannett or some other national outlet soon. As it is, the paper is ~90% AP Wire stories anyway.
Absolutely, but you can do all that without heroics.
While this is the same "generation" as the legendary AE86, it's worth noting that the FX Corolla's are on the AE80/EE80 chassis, featuring a FWD drivetrain or F/F layout.

What made the AE86 such a legendary car was the F/R (RWD) layout and a 16valve 4A-GE engine. These were made alongside the FWD Corollas of the same years, and were quite substantially different.
Cars are parked for approximately 100% of the time they're not being driven. For typical vehicle owners (insomniac driving fanatics and corporate "fleet vehicles" excepted), that's much more than 4-6 hours per day. So no: we do not need 200kW HVDC chargers on every city street.

What we do need is ubiquitous Level 2 (240V AC) charging present at the locations where most drivers store their cars. For drivers who store their cars on public city streets, that means installing new cable runs and charging poles. Obviously this infrastructure isn't going to be "free", but it's not some kind of intractable technical challenge. Moreover it will eventually pay for itself through a modest surcharge on the electricity consumers use for charging.
What kind of decisions do you make based on the analytics? Do you drop unpopular packages? To me, one of the advantages of a package manager is having a huge database of long-tail packages that are just one command away. If you kept only the popular packages you might as well just have an installer that installs them all together in bulk.
> It got way WAY worse with Trump.

Trump was a birther FFS. He was part of that lovely group of people who thought Obama was the antichrist for wearing a tan suit or eating arugula. He made media worse, not the other way around. They sullied themselves by pandering to his and his supporters' insanity. This happened way before he became president.
On the contrary, computers follow their programming. They don't cut corners to make their workload easier, they don't make more mistakes when they are overworked and tired. When you don't have enough resources to make the computer follow it's programming, you also don't have the resources to use the computer.

Keeping things manual means you're adding in all the errors that are unavoidable with humans, and limiting use by constraining resources introduces even more errors. Appropriate oversight is an additional cost on top of the labor you already can't afford, running without adequate oversight is not only possible but strongly selected for.

Furthermore, whereas with computers you can theoretically go through their programming and say "ah this is why a crime was predicted" and the model which generated that insight could be potentially challenged and changed, with a human you'll never really know if there is an issue, and your options for dealing with issues are incredibly limited.

If you can't trust a computer to do math, you certainly can't trust a human to do it.
It's free so far and will be free for personal use. We'll add a team based priced layer as we add more features
How are they going to tell when the "corporate secrets" just seem right, but really aren't?
If this was a real business instead of a magical internet business you could take the 3 pages of chores and tell them where to stick it. Why are they allowed to alter the deal once you arrive?
Complaining about the abborant behaviors of individuals belies the actual problem. Even if the FED were all on their "best behavior" we'd still be in a very bad position from the weird mixing of business and government.
AirBnB was fun at first when I could find someone renting out their personal beach house when they weren't using it, or an extra room in their house. I had many good experiences with family events or group get togethers at AirBnBs in the past.

In recent years, the majority of AirBnBs I've stayed at feel like someone's side business that they started for "passive income" after reading some guru's financial advice. The properties are barely maintained or have clearly broken features. Cleaning fees are sky high, but the houses don't feel clean when I arrive.

We showed up to one AirBnB and it didn't have any furniture. It was a completely empty house with some mattresses and blankets in the closets. All of the furniture in the photos was gone. AirBnB refunded us, but dealing with the issue consumed 1/4 of our trip and cost us extra money to find a replacement on short notice.

It's no longer the fun, personal experience of renting someone's property when they've got extra space. It's now a playground for pseudo-entrepreneurs who want to buy an investment property, hire a cleaning company, and then push the limits of what they can get away with without getting kicked off the AirBnB platform.
Airbnb doesn’t have a hosts supply issue. Actually in the past 3 years, hosts growth outpace guests growth

The issue is Airbnb attracted recently a lot of get-rich-quick types, similar to what see for Amazon sellers or crypto bros. We are far from the savvy host who want to share travel experiences and give you a unique experience
I don't think I am. I've never had a failure to charge, but I have seen dispensers out of service at several locations. I do see stations out of service on PlugShare, I just don't go to those. While I have gone on a few road trips, the vast amount of charging has happened at home, so we're really only talking a dozen or so fast charging times over a couple of years.

I did encounter a few people who had issues charging while I was on those road trips. It seemed like the BMW i3's were the ones most likely to have a charging issue from the cars I saw. A few people were confused about how to get it started. I saw a Tesla drive up to CCS charger trying to figure out how to get their J1772 adapter to work with the CCS cable (hint: it no work). But the vast majority of the people I encountered on my road trips managed to plug in, potentially negotiate payment if needed, charge their car, and go on their way without any issue.

Like lots of things, I think its mostly just that you hear about people sharing their horror stories instead of everyone chirping in every time saying "yup, worked as advertised!" How many people are going to watch and share a video of someone driving up to a CCS dispenser, plug it in, have it charge for ten minutes, and then drive off? Probably not very many. How many people are going to share someone's story about how a charging failure ruined their Christmas?

How many videos do people share of people pulling up to a gas station, pumping gas, putting the handle back, and driving off? How many people share videos of people starting fires at gas stations? I tend to see way more videos of fires at gas stations and crazy collisions with the pumps, I guess that's just what everyone's experiences are at gas stations every day!

Seriously, while YouTube series like OutOfSpec Reviews shares some of the recent failures and challenges with charging infrastructure, they have tons of videos where you see lots of people pulling up to chargers, charging their cars, and going on their way. They even talk about how they go on lots of road trips with their non-Teslas, and seem to have generally good experiences on average. And they're constantly driving and charging their cars at public chargers, most drivers probably will only use DCFC a handful of times a year.
It's just weird, because fundraising is hitting record levels, but funding is dropping. [0]

So there's a lot of "dry powder" (I hear that phrase constantly to describe the situation) just sitting there, doing nothing. What are the VC funds preparing for? What are investors being sold on?

Given all the tech layoffs, my bet is there will be a whole lot of new startup growth coming soon that will "ignite" that dry powder.

Best thing I ever did personally was get a mileage credit card[0]. Made booking flights so much more transparent. I can see the total round trip price up front, and compare them easily, and never get a surprise on the final price. Its really nice.

That was one of the lessons that stuck with me from the first time a teacher actually admitted that "history is written by the winners".
Show HN: Coattail – A peer-to-peer remote execution and publication service
It's intention is to provide a generic publication mechanism in which subscribers can utilize the publication data in anyway they see fit.

Coattail was based on the practice of "Coattail Investing" or "Copy Trading". Unlike those practices, which are aimed at mimicking the trades made by well known investors, Coattail targets real-time notification of events. While it is only based on this investment practice and not intended to be used for investment purposes, it mimics the concept in that an action performed by one party can trigger actions to be performed by one or more other parties. Coattail takes this a step further however allowing for a waterfall effect to take place.
Chiming in from Los Angeles! Commutes are not sustainable.
Isn't this just blatantly illegal? Not an American, but I was under the impression that it was federally illegal to fire employees for organizing.
A personal update from Susan
According to comments, seems like airbnb is a victim of its own success, too few hosts. But hosting is already a problem in many places as it pushes up rents for 'ordinary' residents. Where is this heading to, will everything become an airbnb, and we all become nomads? We will finally own nothing and be happy.

Also a lot of people talk as if airbnb and hotels are interchangeable, but they are not. In my touristy european area, airbnb is everywhere and hotels can't match what people offer there. It's really about the different types and locations of accomodation that airbnb promotes in its homepage now, not for simply finding 'a place to sleep' like a hotel. Both of them have their place, but airbnb has a lot more space to expand in new types and modes of accomodation that we haven't discovered yet, and hotels cannot directly compete with those offerings.
