I see what you mean, I've increased the size of the Football Club logo slightly.

While I haven't had the opportunity to work with many well-known global brands yet, I have worked with some known companies here in Denmark. Nonetheless, I am excited to continue growing and expanding my portfolio. Thank you for your feedback!
I am inclined to agree, but I applaud the effort. It is worth investigating the size of this market, which might be large enough to support a few of these phones. It might even push the technology envelope further so that standard smartphones gain some of the benefits of these niche camera-phones.

Good points. I like C, I think simplicity and hardware alignment make it very useful. Simplicity wins in the end.
This is the upfront fee you pay for the mortgage. Many people opt to pay it over time.

High credit score people still pay less.

To be honest, I'm not sure why credit rating should affect this fee. Those with a low credit rating already pay more in interest.
Is your android internals course available somewhere? It is a topic I have been meaning to learn more and there is not much out there that is up to date.
No, this is confusing. Please iterate on this. Two buttons shouldn't do the same thing depending on state.

I get it: the intent is that there's always a quick, one-click way to broadly consent/not consent. But with how this is designed, after clicking Accept All or Reject All, I'm left wondering what Confirm My Choices did. (Maybe it persists my consent on subsequent visits? I dunno.)

Perhaps, "Confirm My Choices" (or better put, simply "Submit") stays, but change the "Accept All" and "Reject All" buttons to "Select All" and "Deselect All" buttons, respectively. These buttons should only serve to change the state of the checkboxes without submitting.
I believe most of suicides are a result of the overall system failure, the failure cause depression and mental issues that lead to suicides, during pandemic, that known system became uncertain, improvised, and doesn’t follow the norms that cause such depression leading to suicides sometimes.

> Many of the most dangerous nations in the world have comparatively low suicide rates: The annual suicide rate in Afghanistan is six suicides per 100,000 people; in Turkey, 2.3; in Honduras, 2.6. In 2021, America’s was 14.5.

I disagree with this, it isn’t about being dangerous correlates to a lower suicide rates, but if you look closely, most countries with muslims majority have lower rates because it’s a different system overall than the US for example, spirituality, community, laws, financially, and others, where each one of these can have a major impact on suicide rates.
Yeah, it’s a wildly misleading title.
"Under the new matrix, borrowers with high credit scores will face higher mortgage fees __than before__ and those with lower credit scores will face lower fees."

The submission title should be "Fannie Mae New Rule: The Better Your Credit Score the Higher __the increase in__ Your Mortgage Rate"
I am now the proud shepherd of @thedude and @walter_sobchak. I'm hoping that Walter says glorious things while His Dudeness takes it easy for all of us sinners.
I agree aesthetically, but watching my daughter trying to learn interfaces with skeuomorphic design has been illuminating. Trying to explain to her that the save button is a blue rectangle with some gray stuff on the bottom for some reason (she has no idea what a “floppy disk” is) or the symbol for an inbox being a physical inbox, or contacts as a Rolodex or address book is starting completely from scratch. All of these things make intrinsic sense to me, because I learned those concepts when those physical objects existed in a meaningful form, but to her they’re completely meaningless. A desk calendar for a calendar interface would be just as opaque. So perhaps we need to reconsider what is or is not used for inspiration. An app that shows a drawing pad and tools is immediacy intuitive even to her, but when the corollaries are gone, where then do we go for the same effect?
It’s just too bad that “sincere and dedicated” Google engineers are seemingly more and more beholden to their corporate overlords.

Google has been putting profit over users’ best interests for a very long time now.
For anyone who liked this article, I'd really recommend Tooze's book, "The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy". Aside from being an extremely high-quality, genuinely ground-breaking new look at a fascinating old subject, it's also exceptionally well-written.
Aprenticed to a Himalayan Master (A Yogi's Autobiography) by Sri M. I've completed reading this book few hours back. Growing up in India, it's common to hear many fantastical stories of great Himalayan Yogi's and their super powers. Last such book was "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Sri Paramahamsa Yogananda. This book is written by a great Yogi who left his house around 19 years old in search of a Master and traveled to Himalayas. Author warns that lot of people will be skeptical of what he is about to share, but he wrote it for benefit of many and let the skeptics work it out themselves.

I believe him. And boy, what a ride it is.

Teleportation, talking to beings from other planes, Yeti, walking through doors, etc
Yet, for true spiritual seeker, all these super powers are distraction and insignificant.

Definitely recommend reading it.
> I will not work somewhere where I am expected to put in extra hours for no extra pay

So you'll never teach K-12 without giving up that restriction.

People often joke about how teachers have summer off, 2 weeks at Christmas, fall break, spring break, etc. but don't talk so much about the hours of work they do at home every night grading or doing lesson prep, or the hours of time they put into advising or coaching extracurriculars, as well as required professional development that normally has to be done on their own time.
Yes and no. The bots are CLEARLY LABELED AS BOTS, for anyone who cares to look, and invite you to https://engageusers.ai to get a bot / forum of your own.

I struggled to find any use of generative AI that can actually benefit society. Most AI seems to simply make things worse the more widely it is deployed. It simply makes fake stuff cheap to do at scale — meaning it wasn’t done with intent by its author, but you are meant to think it was.

In the wrong hands, AI can even design super-viruses that kill most of humanity. Less apocalyptically, can lead to botswarms of GPT-4-powered bots creating a ton of fake content everywhere, secretly and surreptitiously, and then deployed to destroy reputations or promote fake news or an agenda.

The least harmful use of AI that I could think is this.

People already pay their teams to hang out on their own forums and astroturf, not because they organically want to engage so much bcut because they are paid to welcome users, moderate forums etc. Club event organizers pay promoters and attractive ladies to come get free drinks and make it seem that the club is full of attractive and well-to-do people, then sell bottle service. Dating sites prepopulate their site with fake profiles to boostrap their initial customer base, because when each person comes and sees no one, they leave.

Everyone already did this, they just begged their team to astroturf. Now it can be done with bots.

You can’t have usernames like “KKK”. You can’t write your own prompts. The bots goal is just to kickstart discussion and explore a topic so when a person comes, they see content they might want to respond to, rather than a sad lonely forum with no participation.

MOREOVER, we do not support infiltrating other people’s platforms with bots. We instead make it so the OWNER of the forum welcomes the bots AND chooses what they post.
> I did read your comment. If the company is perfectly free to close up shop and move, then what is applying upward pressure on your wage? Nothing.

Keeping in my that we are talking about Google and companies like it; historically, investors such as angels and VCs want to minimize risk when investing in volatile startups. How do you do this when investing in knowledge based companies? One way is by past accomplishments of the founders, but a more common method is by looking at their credentials. You invest based on an individual’s university alma mater and previous employers. The institutions matter. The more exclusive the better. There’s less criticism on your judgement if you hire from Stanford and MIT. Fast forward. When a company matures, this mentality of hiring stays within its cultural DNA whether or not they admit it. There are a finite number of those graduates from those schools with those majors.

> It's just not that hard of a job.

It’s a much harder job than being an armchair economist. This is not accurate at all. You should just stop being very wrong with overconfidence. The only thing you’re achieving is constantly reminding me that economics isn’t a real science that it pretends to be. It has no repeatable theoretical model, hence all of the contradictory conclusions.

> You can expect software engineering salaries to settle around there absent any intervention from labor.

It may happen in the next 10 - 20 years, but that’s not reality at the moment or in the past.

> One issue I have with your argument is that you are providing hypotheticals. "

Wow, the kettle likes calling the pot black. Most if not all your arguments are also hypotheticals.

> That premium implies it's not possible to find the required talent elsewhere.

See my first paragraph for the reason

> Essentially my argument is one along the lines of preparing for a rainy day.

If we remember the original argument being that Google engineers should unionize, this is just stupid. Time and effort are finite resources. By the time the day of reckoning comes, and I agree that it will one day, our generation will be either retired or transitioned because we have a half life. Most engineers transition to other positions like management and other job functions by their early to mid 40s, or even much sooner. Unionizing now isn’t logical because it interferes with maximizing our gains now and in the immediate future ie promotions and immediate job stability. Seriously, before you double down on theory, maybe you should start a career first in the tech industry before you keep making terrible assumptions.

What do you mean by “should”?

Do you mean it would be morally wrong if they did not?

Do you mean they would have some sort of neurological or personality disorder if they did not?

Do you mean something else?
Not really. Whoever created these distros had a specific vision they wanted to achieve. Debian is one thing, Arch is another. The world is richer for having both.
Indeed, all it would need is a short confirmation tone. What's incredible is how many complaints, hacks, and workarounds there are online for something that should be a simple fix on Google's side. I don't think this update really fixes it at all because my speakers are in different rooms from my lights.

This wouldn't be so annoying if they would work on context-aware volume. I typically have my speakers on high volume during the day to listen to music, but don't really appreciate when later that night it blasts "OK, TURNING OFF THE MASTER BEDROOM LIGHT!" - seems like all it would take is having the device respond at approximately the same volume you said "hey Google"
Right, this is good for big banks who can hold the loans on their portfolio (think JPMC) but not great for smaller originators who market to prime borrowers and have to sell to GSEs.

Might be nothing, likely to only add $40/month to a prime borrower’s mortgage. It seems like an attempt to expand FHA’s mortgage insurance to Fannie and Freddie paper (with the understanding that these mortgages are not as risky as FHA originations).

With all of that said, lack of supply and affordability isn’t going to be fixed with loosening credit requirements and shifting the cost to other borrowers. Build baby build, upzone, and fix zoning, it is the only way. We are millions of housing units short.

I think you greatly overestimate the importance the average American assigns to "superior functionality" on an iPhone. As important as it is to you or me, the average person doesn't know or care why they should have these features.
The US is so corrupt, we have state sponsored gambling: the lottery.

I remember when gambling casinos in the US was considered predatory and immoral and only a few states allowed it (Like Nevada and New Jersey), now it's opening up in many states because they want the money.

It's just another sign of the machine feeding itself at the expense of it's citizens.
The max-Q they hit was much slower than the intended max-Q would be at, so the aerodynamic pressure was also much lower. So they didn't really gain any data about the performance at the real max-Q.
I appreciate the sentiment, but:

- there doesn't have to be "two kinds". Trivially you can fit both "types" at once, I certainly feel that way. And if there are 100 programmers, there'd be about 237 other reasons to use a language. False dichotomy.

- a better categorization might be "there are two kinds of C programmers: those who eventually start using rust and those that don't." which is at least of course absolutely true.

- I dislike the idea that a programmer is bound to a language. He's a "C" programmer, She's a LISP person, etc. A good software engineer should use about 5-10 different languages appropriate for the purpose at hand.
We should probably just ban advertising except black-and-white, pure text offers for sale ("Bananas on sale, $0.59/ea").
As someone with great credit, I'm fine with this.
you misunderstood, you are not actually raising money, you are picking a number as if you were so you can agree on dilution. What would be a 409a valuation of your business? Say it's 100 million. How much extra cash would the business need to replace you? Say it's 1 million? I'm just guessing here but I think there is a math formula that can make it seem very standard and fair.
That’s fascinating to me - all I’ve ever heard is that Boulder is a clean, safe, beautiful place to live (albeit expensive!).

If I could handle snow, I would love to live in Colorado.
It seems backward to me, too.

Try reading it as "DOS subsystem for [running] Linux".
I'm old enough to be in both camps. After years of toodling around in a variety of BASIC languages, I took a class on C. For the first time, I went from a vague text-to-result association to a clear picture of machine and its inner workings*. I then learned C++ and Java which were both hot garbage at the time, and a variety of scripting languages.

The scripting langues are great for high productivity and mediocre performance. Shell languages are great for interacting with the operating system. Query languages are great for interacting with big data. But for years, C was the unparalleled language for getting the best performance out of CPU-intensive algorithms. I've still never found a language that erases these boundaries -- while I'm a "C programmer" I'm multilingual by necessity.

Today? C's performance is matched by C++, and more tedious to write. Zig is there on performance, but for my purposes, the language gets in the way. Rust also gets in the way, and can end up forcing reference-counting which tanks performance. I do like how Go mostly gets out of the way, but again, I cannot abide unnecessary reference counting.

* and, yes, the abstraction is a lie, but it's an incredibly useful and high-performance abstraction

As someone who built a pure python validation library[0] that's much faster than pydantic (~1.5x - 12x depending on the benchmark), I have to say that this whole focus on Rust seems premature. There's clearly a lot of room for pydantic to optimize its Python implementation.

Beyond that, rust seems like a great fit for tooling (i.e. ruff), but as a library used at runtime, it seems a little odd to make a validation library (which can expect to receive any kind of legal python data) to also be constrained by a separate set of data types which are legal in rust.

Ah yes, the graphene. Material so abundant that Wikipedia's top right corner still contains only CGI render.
These beams are sweeping across the sky, therefore there will only be very brief windows of exposure for any observer in the sky. Since our planet rotates, in my lay opinion the chances are even lower that a target in deep space will get enough regular exposure to analyze even strong signals accidentally sent out from Earth. The Deep Space Network has to use three big rotating dishes to keep sending to and receiving from a direction in the outer solar system. These signals have been going for a long time now, therefore it might be a promising approach to focus SETI's resources on the stars where these signals might have ended up (more details in the article)
> Sued by who? The SEC? Who have told them that they intend to bring a legal action?

Yes! They initially reviewed CB's S-1, determined the model + products are legal, and allowed them to become a public company. CB's model hasn't changed since then, but now it's supposedly illegal without any change in legislation?

Good regulation happens in dialogue, like when CFDs and warrants were banned for retail. I don't think that's too much to ask for.
How about just use cookies for strictly necessary purposes. Then you don't need to ask, and the Web will become better

That's a very helpful comment. Thanks. I might consider adding SMS / Calls to the notification channels. I didn't look from the perspective that Folks described here.

Regarding Uptime 99.99%. That's very true and also a good hint.

My current stack is very robust - tried and tested in many other products that I worked in.

Some other HN user also suggested to include an uptime status page to create this kind of confidence.
I saw some of these during a machining class near Boeing. Most were actually trying to learn but it felt like high school with them fucking around on the machines. Some were real serious which is who I talked to.

The worst were the folks who were literally of the opinion that they just sat through this bullshit like a mushroom and they'd check the boxes to move up one grade at the union. One of these was a dude who constantly complained out loud about the math. Machining feeds and speeds is based on the surface feet / minute or your metric equivalent of the speed of the outer diameter of your cutter. So pi is used a lot. The equation is on every wall. 5 minutes in while everyone was signing paperwork I had reversed the formular for every variable. Page 3 of the book does that for you and makes pi 3 for ease and safety. This was the math the guy complained about. We had to do it 5 times total. 7 classes in this dude still had not brought in a calculator and the laziest kid in the class mocked him for it. This same guy who couldn't / wouldn't do the math spent an hour at lunch explaining his intricate scheme to basically work 14 days each year for the next 2 years before exiting out to part time and then retirement with his full benes. So he could do it, but he just wanted to sit at home playing guitar and drinking and subjected the rest of is this complaints. Also he hogged the professors time a lot.

There were some others who did not have the math skills to do offsets/ zero setting on depth of drill holes. But when the professors could give them the time they could usually come up with a way to explain it. That guy wanted to learn but also felt that once he was certified his job was to read a book until the machine went into fault mode, so the training got him an easier job. He didn't actually need to understand any of the training to hit a button when a light went red.

Where did you get the idea that most of the methane is from natural processes ? (Same for people that seem to think that most of anthropogenic ones are from livestock?)

Also some of the "natural" causes are suspect now, since they include things like permafrost thaw, which itself is caused by warming...
Heh I vaguely recall at Etsy, predating my time, that a significant amount of business logic was done using stored procedures and triggers.

They migrated away from it at some point, but some of the people who handled that migration were still around when I was there. Didn’t sound fun at all, sounded like a horrific nightmare.
I've read somewhere that you're more likely to get a job through an acquaintance then a closer friend
When this was first proposed in the EU, the connected they wanted to mandate was the "standard" at the time. USB Mini-B. Which is now deprecated and a few generations behind.

And the same arguments were made at the time. "Stifle innovation" and "what innovation, this connector is perfect. No need for improvement."
It's not really clear from this paper, it is more handwavy based on today's circuits.

They claim that the darlington voltage drop is ~2V which is suitable for 5V to 2.5V regulation, and then introduce 100mV with an NFET as low-dropout for cases where LiPO cells are 3.6 V, or 300 mV above industry standard 3.3V (or the new embedded expectation of 1.8V or 1.2V off a 2x 700mV cells).

However, what if I need to regulate 3.35 V to 3.3 V, do I need an Even-lower LDO (ELLDO)? That meants we have HDO (2V), LDO (.1V), ELLDO (0.05V), which becomes an absurdly semantic situation.

I think the confusion is that engineers picked the words and it is based on the technology of a current point in time. In their mind, the breakpoint is NFET dropout of 100mV, which is purely subjective. Although I could also argue that my example is silly because it is within the range of tolerance of most datasheets spec for Vin of 3.3V +/- 1%.
I like all my bullshit to be artisanal hand-made bullshit.
