Amazon's hired people remotely. People have moved away from Amazon offices and bought homes. Etc. Perhaps some of that is covered by a small number of exceptions but it wouldn't surprise me if a substantial number end up leaving or getting fired.
Yep. All my life the ladders for high achieving kids born to challenging circumstances have been being pulled up. I likely would be sentenced to working retail and fast food jobs my whole life if I was born today.

The public school system I attended has more or less ended every program I used back then, as far as I can tell.

It seems to be the goal of those implementing such things. If you are not of the right demographic, they simply do not want to see you succeed. I'm starting to believe it's outright maliciousness vs. naïve optimism.
Meanwhile 23 Baltimore, Maryland schools had ZERO students that were proficient in math. I guess it’s easier to achieve equity by making everyone worse than making everyone better.

> Public transport sucks, not sure why so many people people like it.

I think you may have forgotten that countries other than the US exist. Public transport in most European cities is absolutely phenomenal. And people like it because it’s cheaper and more convenient (when done right).
Rust does a bit more on the safety front than typical programming languages.
OP said they ignored Amazon's e-mails. This does not contain the assumption that they would have necessarily have be hired if they had replied. Only that they chose not to pursue the opportunity. You then took it upon yourself to add your own assumption to that, and use those assumptions to insult OP.
How does an explicit raise operator like '?' work any different than that? You can learn how to read it pretty quickly.
Already valued the highest is not mutually exclusive of undervalued.
This is too nuanced a view for political change though. Oh well.
> the term was popularized by the CIA in order to discredit conspiratorial believers, particularly critics of the Warren Commission, by making them a target of ridicule.

Who popularized it is subjective.

What isn't subjective: the CIA indeed sent out a memo about this. It marked an increase in the use of the term in popular media publications. You can find it and read it.
Yep, that is some 4 years + ago, cars have lately become relatively much more expensive (blame it on COVID, on inflation, on scarcity of components, whatever), I would say starting after 2020.

A part of it may be due to the fact that those entry levels (I mean the setups with the least of accessories) are not anymore manufactured (and possibly never really existed or sold as they were too basic) in the sense that the new bare minimum has raised a bit.
Dependency controls have improved quite a bit. They went through a couple of variations of this and the current solution is nice.

I haven't ever run into an issue with artifact hand off to this point though. Maybe it's one of the more rare concerns, but it's not something I've experienced (fortunately). I imagine it would be a concern to debug though.
I strongly feel your first point -- there's been a weird ethos at the FAANG company I'm employed at where you are encouraged to solo-learn, despite many others on the team who could share the learning and create camaraderie in far less time. But if you want to do that, you're seen as a "lesser" engineer -- so instead, everyone struggles for months (average onboarding time is 4-5 months) and it's often repeated that you won't know what you're doing for the first 3 years.
> None of that is prescribed by the constitution.

It would help to be a bit clearer.

The Constitution specifies that the House and Senate make their own rules via a simple majority vote.

The Senate set a rule that they would require a vote to end (previously unlimited) debate and hold a vote on an issue. Originally, this required a two thirds majority, which was lowered to 60 votes later.

More recently, the Senate changed the rules again to only require a simple majority vote on some matters.

Nothing about the Filibuster rule was ever specified in the Constitution.
But this time it was changed after the bill was signed
It might be a case of overthinking it. BRK announced the position Nov 2022, and TSM has appreciated 50% since then. That is an easy $2B profit in less than 6 months, and it may have been Ted/Todd, who are a little less beholden to traditional BRK investment timeframes.
Amazon will require employees return to the office 3 days a week
> someone had been convicted of a crime

The issue isn't that people who commit crimes can hide their past, but that "corrections" facilities to not rehabilitate criminals into law-abiding members of society.

Having a criminal past follow someone for their entire life is a surefire way to make sure they can't find legal ways of making money.
Feds are sending medical experts to Ohio toxic train wreck site
That letter sure does like to smear gender critical folks, or even just those concerned about standards of medical care, as "anti-trans hate groups" and "far right hate groups". No wonder the NYT told them thanks but no thanks.
> Investing in the company already valued the highest in the market (AAPL) seems odd from the old version of BRK that I thought I understood.

Just because Apple has the highest market cap does not mean it’s overvalued. I added AAPL at $125 and $127 in early January because I thought the market was undervaluing Apple, just like Berkshire. Today it’s trading at $151/share.

Tl;dr, market cap != ‘value’
There is no claim in the original post that there is a special rule for AI as opposed to any other similarly-capable agent. The reasonably well-founded concern here (and in the article) is that someone might well want to create an exception for AI, either knowingly, or by default because they cannot see or properly evaluate the risk.
Looking for feedback on my B2B food listings MVP site – will make v1.0 soon
https://agriquery.com

A couple months ago I launched a B2B food listings website, basically as a rough MVP. I have enough sellers on there now to get some feedback, but I've been struggling to get feedback from a buyer's perspective. Anyway I'd like more of both.

I'm going to revamp it to include some new features, for which I'm open to suggestions.

I'd also like to know what can be improved for maximizing:

- ease of use / simplicity / easy to understand what the site is

- SEO

- usefulness for buyers coming to the site

Before I invest more time and resources into improving the site, I'd be very interested to hear some feedback from the community. Thank you and much appreciated!
Interesting that alpine didn't get mentioned, i thought that was the most common option for a slim Linux running inside containers.
Not the fault of Rust compiler per se but in my case the errors that mismatching trait impls from async libraries yield can be downright suicide-inducing.

I recognize this is not entirely on rustc though.
Doesn't surprise me. Maybe you've heard of low temperature heat pumps, but not the refrigerants that enabled that technology. You've certainly heard about solar panels but you probably don't know what metallurgical and manufacturing advances made them cheap enough for many people to buy.

Why should someone learn technical jargon when what there interested in is what effects the technology will have on society?
This is extremely cool but I'm a bit confused on the licensing/source/pricing story.
It's something we wrote about in the post I linked.
Interesting question, not a lot of answer in the article.

As an entrepreneur I don't clearly separate a job - I just have a major activity of my life which I put time and energy into. It's quite natural for me to define myself based on it. It would be weird to define myself based on all the miscellaneous maintenance chores I do when I'm not focused on my main project (goal).

I don't agree. I think the author is conflating two things:

1. learning Rust, and
2. using Rust.

If you take away "Rust made us slow because our team had to learn how to use it and thus we had slow iterations and it's harder to find hires with Rust knowledge" from the equation, then you aren't left with much argument against using Rust early.

The iteration time issue with Rust is solved by experience. We use Rust and our iteration times are average. What we gain is not performance, that's not a reason we use Rust (for an early stage startup, totally agree you burn credits until you can afford to care). We gain correctness. And at an early stage, correctness without paying for a massive QA team is a huge boon.

There are definitely more mature tools for quickly standing up CRUD APIs. If you want a framework that can bootstrap you into an OpenAPI with docgen, swagger, all the bells and whistles, Rust doesn't do that. But Rust will help force you to write correct code that never crashes and handles edge cases it's easy to forget about when moving fast in a duck typed language.

The only language we seriously considered over Rust was Swift. But Swift's just wasn't quite there yet. It might be today. If I was starting something from ground zero today, I'd probably lean towards Swift and need to be argued down back to Rust or Python.
You should try NestJS with Prisma or Typeorm and Postgres. Plus all the classic other stuff. It's a great stack.
Ah, I misunderstood. The thing is, although I believe the US government is more decentralized than your typical European government, and you're right that the various states have very different laws, the Federal government is still extremely powerful, and Federal law covers every subject that you can think of. Since the spectrum of political opinion represented is so wide, this means that any decision the Federal government makes will upset a lot of people. There basically never is a compromise decision that everyone feels at least OK about.
I feel like Paul Allen himself answered this question as well as anyone could in his letter shown in the article.

Rolling deployment is a hack imho. Adds complexity and hence yet more potential failure modes.
I don't know why everyones obsessed about sperm count decreasing. It's definitely not the limiting factor of the US's birth rate, and will probably never be.

I actually find that K8s in a CI environment is a better use case than in production environments.

In production, you're going to have clearly defined deployment rules, traffic patterns, scalability approaches where the code for each service probably belongs on it's own VM rather than sharing cluster resources.

In non-production environment, you can feel much more free to overload what's deployed on a node because it's not seeing production traffic. You could have a single k8s instance with 30 different environments (each with their own web, worker, databases, redis, etc) for 30 different branches that represent the issues moving through the pipeline from 5 developers. In prod, ever piece of that would be better represented by it's own VM.
It depends exactly how simple that CRUD API is. If there's any business logic, I'd rather get all the cheap correctness guarantees that Rust provides. I don't find myself making many truly dumb CRUD APIs.

Time to iterate is also only much faster in certain situations, e.g. local development; if you have to e.g. build a container image, push to a registry, and redeploy to a k8s cluster somewhere, those savings become somewhere between less significant and nonexistent.
> ¹ It's a so-called "destructive" audio editor², and so is different than modern, "non-destructive" audio editors like GarageBand, Reaper, Descript, etc.

I have to say as someone who recently got into this space, the value that these non-destructive editors provide for their price is absurd. Reaper costs a mere one-time payment of $60 for individual use! That's ridiculous for the value you're getting.
Because having a single benefactor for a non-profit is almost a death sentence.

Not necessarily, if the benefactor endows the NPO with a long-term trust rather than simply funding it. Endowment is what makes the difference between a charity and a hobby.

Paul Allen had a lot of hobbies, but he wasn't that charitable, in the sense that many of his good works seem to have died with him. There are obvious exceptions, but the LCM was sadly not one of them.

>> Do you want us to unleash millions of dollars of lawyers on you? I don't think many people will want to find out

Assuming you don't mean that as a threat to me or anyone else posting here on HN about your product ... lawyers are not caged dogs to unleashed at people who displease you. Even the most expensive of them will not fight a lost cause, one that might humiliate them in the eyes of other lawyers. Not for a corporate tech client. This isn't a typo or other laughable but forgivable error. This is contracts 101 stuff.

And statements made online about this contract language would probably come up in subsequent cases. The fact that the CEO thinks the language unenforceable, and by implication therefore never intended to enforce it, will not help you should this ever be before a judge.
You exec a process expecting it to begin operating, providing some networked service, in a reasonable time. Instead it doesn't do that. It spends tens of seconds, sometimes minutes, running JIT and other sundry startup overhead.

Because no one had wanted to live in the city centre for decades. It was deserted and dangerous from the 90s until the tourism boom. The castle district, the epicentre of tourism in Lisbon, lost population every year for something like 30 consecutive years. Thankfully foreigners swooped in and ignored the dereliction and drug addicts for long enough to make the historic districts liveable again.

The TSMC move was notable because they ditched most of their holdings. One theory is that they did so because of concern over geopolitical risk, given TSMC's primary location. However that was arguably present to the same extent or more when they made the investment recently also, so this is not clear. It is out of character for them to jump in and out of investments quickly in this manner.

The AAPL move was miniscule in comparison and hardly worthy of note.

Sorta remarkable he switched to tech after abstaining from it earlier. It shows even at the age of 90 and regarded as the greatest investor of all time, he still has stuff to learn.

Here's an analogy to understand ad-driven social media apps:

Imagine a world where there are thousands of companies out there that produce these strange little unpleasant pellets of food that they want people to eat. They don't want people to buy them—the company is happy to send out pellets for free because they make money when the pellets get eaten. (Let's not worry about how that could make economic sense. Maybe the pellets are made of sequestered carbon and the company is selling carbon credits.)

So all these companies want to get millions of people eating their pellets, but people don't want to. They don't taste very good and they've got, like, better shit to do with their lives.

But people do like eating other food. And usually they have to pay for it, which kind of sucks.

An opportunity exists here, and "social eating" companies pop up. These companies will ship you food for free, and you can eat as much as you want. What joy! The only catch is they've mixed some of these not-very-tasty pellets in with the food they send you. The social eating companies get paid by the pellet companies, which is how they're able to make and send you food for free.

Here is the interesting question: What kind of food do the social eating companies make? You might think that since they want to get as many people eating their food mixed-with-pellets as possible, they would make the best food they can. And, indeed, they do want to make food that is scrumptious, compelling, and mouth-watering. But what they don't want it to be is satisfying. Because once you're sated, you stop eating. That's the last thing they want because the more pellets you choke down, the more they get paid.

So what they make is junk food like chips and cookies. Each serving is a single tiny delicious bite, but as soon as it goes down, you're even hungrier than before. Its high in anticipation and desire, but low is satisfaction and satiety. You crave it, but once you have it, you don't actually feel any better. If anything, the craving is even more intense.

Now apply that metaphor to information. The most junk-food-like content is the stuff that triggers anxiety and anticipation if you don't watch it: fear of missing out, question-inducing "You won't believe...", alarming "You're doing ___ wrong...", etc. The content doesn't make you feel good if you do watch it, it makes you feel bad if you don't. Because that way, when you do watch it, the nagging anxiety goes away a bit, but you still don't feel "done" and still want more.
I mean, ask the C++ community. They've had exceptions forever, but a large chunk of them forbid exceptions in their codebases.

I think there's a pretty good rule of thumb in modern systems-ish language design: If Go and Rust and Zig all do a certain thing, that thing is probably a great idea. These languages have very different priorities, but often they overlap.

IME speculation: for security-adjacent personnel, recovery efforts (equipment, fraud, etc.) are a great way to quantify the work you do when you don't otherwise generate revenue. You can't take credit for disrupting events that didn't happen [because you intervened], but nobody can argue with you recovering or clawing back $x in lost/stolen assets.

They were probably tasked with patrolling for misplaced explosives and other drama, but since incident count is low, they were given supplementary tasks (like tagging bikes they come across on patrol) to justify their salary and foster positive PR.

A fee is (somehow) linked to costs suffered because of the breech. If you return a rental car late then you have to pay for the extra time, along with any other incidental expenses suffered. A "late fee" might cover the costs associated with them providing a different car to customers who had booked your car. Or, if they had no other cars, whatever they had to do to satisfy those other customers. You are allowed to identify so-called liquidated damages in a contract. You aren't allowed to create a lottery whereby you can demand millions from customers who make small mistakes.
Describing "Zero Trust" as a misnomer when it's a reference to placing no inherent trust in the client seems misleading. Yes, you have to place trust in whatever makes the trust decision, whether that's you or a third party. And you also have to place trust in whoever is providing device or user identity in the first place. There are certainly techniques you can apply that mean that accessing a service only provides that service with "this user legitimately has access to this resource" rather than any information about the specific user, but someone has still had to make the determination that that user is trustworthy, and they need to have held information about that user to make that determination.
