There are a ton of issues with the official CPI numbers that none of this accounts for and even the BLS admits to in a limited extent. It doesn't account for people buying less expensive substitutes when items get expensive, it only includes "staples" despite consumers potentially spend a ton on newer items, it doesn't account for quality changes of items, it has an undue weight on urban areas, doesn't account for shrinkflation or other hidden forms of inflation, and lots of others.

The BLS isn't independent. The commissioner is hand picked by the senate, and it's currently someone who's very deeply rooted in establishment politics and has close connections to the Koch family, the fossil fuel industry, and Trump.
I think you are reading too much into a thought experiment. Of course they won't take the case with the cat. It is a hyperbolic placeholder in a greater discussion. The question is what the downside risk is for X case with low chance of success.
It's not that expensive to buy a mirror that covers your TV. I'm not suggesting I have any clue what your friends setup is and if they used a dielectric mirror it was probably pretty spendy compared to the price of TVs today: https://www.twowaymirrors.com/tvmirror/
On the iCloud family settings page you can enable/disable sharing your location with the rest of your family. I imagine AirTags would be the same.

That being said, if you aren't comfortable with family members knowing your location, then why would you want to share AirTags or an iCloud with them in the first place?
> Quicksilver did it before on OS X

And before Quicksilver there was LaunchBar, which pre-dates OS X having originally shipped for NeXT. I believe I starting using LaunchBar during the OS X public Beta, and I still use it.

You can download all of the old version of LaunchBar including for NeXT:

No it's not extortion. The employer isn't forced to hire or raise the salary; they could just tell them "Good luck at Meta." They're just negotiating from a position of strength, and for some reason you don't like that.

> How about instead of doing it that way, you say something like: "The salary you offered is lower than I expected. Here is what I expect and these are the benefits I'll bring to your organization."

Because thats not effective. When employers have the upper hand, they're perfectly willing to say "Take the offer or go pound sand." Do you happen to think thats extortion?
I have yet to meet a good leader, coming out of Meta. I worked with several, and all of them share the. same trait - ignore the problem, till it disappears.

They're great to "work" for, but they're horrible at building a team to do work.

I, personally, attribute this to the coasting that Facebook/Meta has been doing for the last 5-7 years. Big product used to provide enough money to literally "rest and vest" for leaders. Leaders that hire people to do complete pointless work, and still have no negative impqact on the company. Now it's all catching up.

This is not the first or the last time we see this kind of situation. ATT, IBM, Microsoft - all have been there, where the money coming in from hit products covered all the ills.
I wonder why are such sayings NOT persecuted as libelous; then again I think they have bigger fish to fry now (i.e. bigger crimes to punish i.e. scihub)

but it makes sense that they should pursue such sayings because prestigious magazines are all about 'status' and 'signaling' and what people think; specially now that technology has made their former 'logistical' contributions redundant (referring to the printing of the stuff and getting it to where it's needed) and also how the actual peer reviews are essentially volunteer labor, again because they have their prestige.
Not especially well, especially close to the ground.
The state isn't stopping the fetus from leaving; the inmate is.
“ But the biggest reason to not hire a retiree is cultural, say 71% of hiring managers. Can these candidates integrate into the current company culture? This concern is followed by uncertainty about their knowledge of industry trends (67%) and whether they still have the skills needed for the job (59%).”

Ageism stated plainly and bluntly.
They're all shit. My particular ire towards Facebook has more to do with scandals like Cambridge Analytica. I think the platform is uniquely positioned to act as a loudspeaker for politically motivated and dangerous misinformation in a way the other platforms aren't.

We live in a world where actual vaccine skeptics are being given high positions of power in state-level health organizations, and I place the blame for that squarely on social media.
What if you write your article and use it to rewrite with better language?

Of course they aren't, like I said above the workers are way underpaid. The Baumol effect means that wages have risen more than the underlying increase in productivity, which like I said can't really increase in child care, you need X workers for Y kids, there's no productivity gains to be had.

And that's not on the workers themselves, it's just basic arithmetic.

Needing to increase the wages of the workers beyond any increase in productivity either means higher prices for parents or lower profits for the business. In this case we have both, which is why the market can't really sustain itself. Daycare companies have to give their workers some increase in wages over time, without getting more work out of them, but in order to charge parents even more than the already insane prices, they've held them down to some extent. So like I said, everyone loses.
Yeah, definitely if people are interested. Let me clean up the repo a little bit first :)

It's probably hard to directly apply this to other machines, but the interposer board idea would make it easy to take the same hardware and use it on any MC6808-based machine.
If my startup takes off, I’d love to move to Switzerland or Germany, or maybe even Japan. Heck, Norway and Sweden and Denmark are lovely too.

I’m prepared to take a huge pay cut in order to do so.

The biggest reason is that US infrastructure is hostile to independent children. I want my kids to be able to take trains and explore the world relatively safely. The US has pockets of walkability, but it compares nothing to the public transit of Europe and other countries.
I did a trial run at retirement for a couple of years (2020-2021). And I think I came to a similar conclusion as your mom. I figured I'd learn stuff, work on projects, etc. and I certainly did some of that, but there were just too many choices to make for how to spend my time and at some point that causes a sort of paralysis of inaction. You figure you've got plenty of time to do X so might as well do it tomorrow - lots of procrastination. At some point I figured I might as well go back to work and get paid to do something.

I think my ideal would be to work something like 3 days/week - I could just do that forever if the work was moderately interesting, but there aren't a lot of programming gigs where they let you do that.
My inbox is not available to the public, have public “like” counts and view counts, cannot be shared with a single click with the same viral network effects (sure, emails can be forwarded, but I think we can agree sharing emails vs sharing on social media is wildly different).

So I think there’s a reasonable argument to be made about the difference here. Agree?

This article says absolutely nothing of substance. It takes no side and makes no argument. "some things look like red flags. maybe that's ok. maybe it's not. someone, somewhere, will figure it out eventually." Paul Graham's blog and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

For comparison, at my local (Oregon) non-fancy (Kroger) grocery:

- dozen large eggs, $2.89

- shelf stable box milk, $19.28 [0]

- regular milk, $3.29/gal

- gala apples, $1.99/lb

- unsalted butter, $4.29/lb

[0] Shelf stable milk is more of a specialty item here, not an everyday staple for most people. Evaporated milk is more common, still about $1.50/can (12 oz). I'm not familiar with the term HTT so maybe I'm misunderstanding. All our milk is pasteurized.
Imaginary? Not acceptable?

See the big banks collective responses to regulations placed on the financial industry in the aftermath of 2008 - if the fine is significantly smaller than the potential for profits, they will do those activities and pay the fine 100% of the time. This mentality is evident in many other sectors as well, especially with publicly traded companies.

Yes, I know HIPPA fines are public. However, Amazon has enough money to not care, and to never care. You know how many labor laws Amazon has blatantly violated and not cared? If they can capture an entirely new vertical (healthcare), their share price will increase despite looming lawsuits and pesky regulations. Amazon is a multi-trillion dollar company that focuses on growth at any and all costs.
When you post a story on HN you aren't specifically choosing to send it to a person. Is HN responsible if a harmful story reaches the front page?
Is the intention of the algo promotion or matching user interest to videos. There's a big difference to saying: I want you to watch this.. and I think you want to watch this.

The later is just sorting by additional attributes (video length, keywords in content, likelihood of clicking->watching, keywords of past content watched, ...). Youtube doesnt care what you watch... as long as they match what you want to watch to a list of videos, you stay on the site. If they dont, then you leave. The actual content of the videos doesnt matter to youtube. In this way, the page that displays the feed is very similar to showing search engine results sorted by best match, where the keywords are pulled from your past videos.

If sorting is now promotion and prohibited by 230, then the internet is f'd. Search engines are going to be completely useless.

Zuck wasn't hired, he founded the company and structured it such that he would always have a majority of voting rights and control over it. It is very, very difficult to remove him unwillingly. If he wants to bet the entire farm on metaverse and sink the company, ruin shareholder value, layoff everyone, etc. then he can and seemingly will do it.

At some point there will probably be moves from hedge funds and big share holders to sue him for breach of fiduciary responsibility. It will be interesting to see how he responds.
They aren’t a simple middle man though - they are actively choosing the rules for what content gets amplified on the platform.

They’ve done a search over the space of things that drive engagement with the site and have written a feed/content sort algorithm that optimizes for those things. They could just as easily choose to optimize for something else - like number of heart reactions only - but they choose not to because that would presumably result in lower engagement and thus less eyeball time and thus less profit.
This is absolutely true as long as you define all possible realities as what our reality would be the sum of.

Agreed on the time issue. Even with Israeli engineering teams, their work week starts on Sunday and ends on Thursday. Thus, you are given a 4-day collaboration week.
>The simplest way to look at the spirit of this law is: Congress said that internet companies shouldn't be punished just for hosting other people's opinions. And at the end of the day, TikTok and YouTube and Facebook are still just hosting this data. They didn't write it. They don't curate it. Anyone can post. Anyone can read.

Okay - so in your universe, it's just as easy to punish them, not for the hosting, but the promotion of the content which is explicitly not covered in 230...
I had a Creative Nomad, which I bought around the end of 2003 and I was scoffed at by Ipod owners at how big it was.

Doing a little digging, this was the model: https://www.cnet.com/reviews/creative-nomad-jukebox-zen-xtra... 4.4 x 3 x .86" bigger than the original Sony Walkman. It had much larger capacities and was outside the Apple ecosystem, which was an absolute feature at the time. Itunes was horrid.

USB Speeds weren't that big of a factor, though YMMV depending on the user. With the larger capacities of HD based players, you loaded once, which took some time, and then topped up with new additions which was not a big deal. My particular Nomad model had USB 2.0 though

I guess a better question is, how far can a single node get you performance wise (I guess you have to ignore disaster recovery/automatic rollover based on regions) without needing k8s? Like, "really far"? What's a good rule of thumb on when you should introduce k8s?
Not that.

I think it was related to the keyword 'hypercard' – but I've been searching with that and not found it.

It looked like a digital whiteboard tool except the cards on the whiteboard could run code and such. It was 100% digital.

Hey! Thank you for sharing this feedback, it's incredibly helpful and we are so grateful for it. We thought a lot about this when we decided to add a free tier and have some different ideas on what we want to do next in this realm.

For now, if you want to sign up for our free tier we can flip your org to this type of structure you are talking about, 1 project, 1 user, first 60 build minutes free & 5 cents/minute after that.
This isn't a case about turning 230 into a law that it isn't supposed to be... this is a case wondering whether 230 serves as an exception to another law which does create liability here...

The author's two examples of obvious fraud were called out by many people as fraudulent years before it became public knowledge. It's possible to do your own research and conclude the zeitgeist is wrong before it becomes common knowledge. It would make the argument stronger to come up with examples where there weren't numerous experts screaming fraud for years.

Check the given definition for start-up. A start-up doesn't have $200+/month for managed Kubernetes, cloud storage, cloud CI/CD pipelines, CDNs and all the other niceties. Also, not all start-ups are born in Silicon Valley or nearby, nevertheless 90% of all start-ups fail, some of them because they waste money on cloud infrastructure while hallucinating time to market tomorrow and are unable to be lean, duct taping and WD-40-ing (soon ChatGPT-ing) some disposable infrastructure for pennies.

Real dystopian shit
I am in the same camp as you. But I think the approach of "cut x% over and over" to keep the stock afloat at some point is not going to work forever, since a company is not very competitive at 0% of its original engineering / get things done work force. Heck if the markets were truly free markets and stock price was based on fundamentals, we may even start to see highly paid senior leadership cuts over lower level employees. Call me crazy.
My take is the watch is more successful because I don't need any special apps to take full advantage of it.

I love what apple has built around it - health and fitness monitoring primarily but also siri integration (setting reminders, alarms, timers etc).

Generally on the health and fitness aspects the only accessories I find useful are a connected scale and connected blood pressure monitor (both from withings). The data is shared from the withings app to the health app (and I don't let the withings app read any data from health) so I can see that info along with everything else.

I do wish either the health or fitness apps on iPhone had better analytics, data visualization, and comparison tools or made them easier to find. They do have some good ones but it takes more taps than I'd like and I wish there were more breakdowns.

The nice thing about Python is if you just target the WSGI spec, you can have a web framework that can be deployed to an insane amount of web servers. It's just a standard for how you receive incoming requests and what have you, other languages have similar offerings. So yes, Spider could be a thing in a few weeks. I forget if Bottle.py is WSGI based or not, but it wouldnt surprise me if you could conjure up something as small as Bottler.py that specifically works with WSGI.

Edit: Sitting down and writing my own WSGI web library is on my bucket list, I just have other items I want to do more.
Position is relative, velocity is relative, acceleration is actually absolute. Tidal forces are not relative, they are agreed upon by all observers, who would all agree that you got torn apart by those forces. You can remember this by considering the effect acceleration has on objects; there is no trajectory an object can take in which it will observe the surface of the earth being at 25G and consequently everything being crushed on it. They'll still see 1G, they just won't agree about the velocities being modified and in sufficiently extreme cases, won't agree about how long the forces were applied for, but they'll still see 1G.

Being able to witness varying accelerations would actually be a very strange theory, having instead a twin paradox in which one astronaut takes off and comes back home to a twin (and civilization) crushed to death, whereas the stay-at-home twin sees his twin take off, get crushed to death, and never return home at all. The YouTube videos trying to explain this universe would certainly be epic.

Again, this all happens in normal space too; the black-hole-ness of the black hole is not in play yet. Non-black hole objects can "spaghettify" too.

If I start a TV network on basic cable and let anyone submit a video that will be broadcast live on air in real time, that network will likely be broadcasting user-submitted material that would not be allowed to be shown on TV during the daytime per FCC decency standards.

How is YouTube different than this?

Not necessarily. Coroutines are invisible at the ABI level (that is coroutines are just functions).

It's pretty easy to write a library with them (using your own executor) and not reveal their use to the user.

Obviously sharing an executor between application and library is another matter.

No, it will have a massive impact on battery life. I only meant to say, a 50% decrease in consumption by CPU doesn't translate to doubling the battery life. All those other things matter too, so maybe it translates to 20-30% more. That's still massive!
If fab supplies are limited, some people will be SOL anyway even if prices rise. It's not like higher prices are magical and mean that everyone who needs something will get it. It's just that those who do buy at inflated prices will get reamed.
