Hi mrg3_2013,

I've been in this boat,

I agree/disagree with what others say, on one hand yes, most ideas are a dime a dozen and that meme which has been parroted ad nauseaum applies.

OTOH, someone with experience and deep knowledge in a field could come up with a really nice and clever solution to a problem that's potentially worth lots of $$$. Be aware that instead of an "idea", you may be giving out a very expensive consultation for free.

Examples:

It would be nice to be able teleport from one place to another (shitty idea)

vs.

I actually found a way to teleport things from one place to another (not shitty at all)

If your idea looks more like the 2nd example then I'd suggest you take adequate measures to protect what belongs to you and safeguard your right to make money off it.

A contract is your friend. Are you demoing something under the common understanding that it's going to be acquired later? Put that into a contract. Do you want the contents of your presentation to not be disclosed afterwards? Put that into a contract. Whatever makes you feel comfortable, you own your game :).

Best of luck!
I guess they just bought FRC's loan book at par.

At FOSDEM the talk on loki was described as a modern version of what you and I do with syslog servers

mine come in to an anycast IP on the network, one file per host, the syslog stamps the receive time at the start in "y-m-d-h-m-s+0000" format, in a y/m/d directory struture, bzip2 after a few days

I have a few scripts which I use to parse the logs and pull reports out (BGP drops/recover times for example), but most of the time tail/cat/sort/grep/cut/etc does the job. Where I differ is I use perl rather than awk.

Sure it doesn't scale to millions of terrabytes a second of minable personal information or whatever the average modern LAMP stack generates, but it currently records about 15G a day from 400 different devices just fine.
When faced with a choice of how to treat people making irrelevant comparisons couched in humanitarian terms to argue in bad faith is it more or less ethical to back up the trolley and run over the bad faith arguers twice?
In the grand scheme of things, places like 4chan have to exist because humanity needs it.

If you want the real sewer look at the WaPo and NYT comment sections. There's more hate on their than on 4chan...though it's directed at right wingers, so it's socially acceptable.
They're available in the bronx and staten. Most new yorkers have roommates though. It is not difficult to find a 2 bed (2 people get the luxury of a dedicated, doored off bedroom) for $2400 in any of the boroughs, although many neighborhoods are certainly out.
> Butter is a key component of a quintessential American sandwich - the grilled cheese.

To YOU it is (and I agree with you). But people make it with oil or mayo as the fat. I doubt most people think of butter as a required ingredient.
The lactic acid tanginess from bacterial cultures is the biggest difference in the taste difference between European and American butter IMO. The 84% vs. 82% fat thing is way too overrated as I've had uncultured butter made in both ratios and they were virtually indistinguiable as spreads.
The US has a fairly large political contingent that believes in retributive justice, not rehabilitative or restorative justice. In a lot of places the police have a culture of the "warrior mentality" and well-meaning new officers are either brought in line or driven out of the profession. This is compounded by the huge numbers of private and illegal/black market firearms on the street which make policing extremely dangerous. The combination reinforces the warrior and the retributive justice cultures alike.
I read that airports grate on people because there's an omnipresent chance of something occuring that's completely outside of their control, and that possibility is therefore always in their mind.

Nature, for me, is the antithesis of that -- things move and happen in the physical rather than the potential. And that's relaxing!
I would argue 99% of the art you already see is effectively alien and meaningless, as it's all mass-produced and commercial, designed by committees, and its only purpose is to brand or advertise a product. Almost no mainstream "art" communicates anything honest or sincere, it's all soulless mind-control and emotional manipulation by the corporate capitalist machine. That there are humans involved doesn't make it meaningful, after all, there will be people writing prompts for AI as well.

But at least a lot of those people will be trying to express something even if all AI can give them is an approximation of what they would make if they had the talent.
Glad to hear!

There are some things around local storage which isn't cleard even if you clear cookies.
Whenever I hear takes like these I wonder how many people I've disgusted with my cooking. I have _literally no idea_ what you're talking about, much like it was a shock the first time someone said cilantro tasted like soap.

Really makes you respect people who manage to make everyone happy through cooking for a living!

I don't find it hard to resist the compulsion. If I'm driving, I don't look at my phone. Seems like a pretty simple rule to follow.

Anyway, I understand that they're doing it because of cost, but if you're going to start saying the guy who worked on the infotainment system has blood on his hands because he implemented some animation that takes half a second then surely the person who put a touch screen in the first place is more culpable.
Coat the outside of your grilled cheese with half butter and half mayonnaise (mixed). It's spectacular.
I used to work at CircleCI. It was often suggested to us that because of the usage-based pricing we were not incentivized to make builds faster.

In reality the opposite was true - experience had shown us that every time builds got faster, people ran more builds (likely because faster feedback means more iterations).
What do you mean it's not clear it's still there? It was there when they had their earnings call 4 days ago.
I played before and after the GE was introduced. You're right, but it kind of leveled the playing field in a lame way. The GE made merchanting much more difficult.

Prior to GE, I'd buy as much as I could of an item in the morning in World 2 when the prices were lower but there were still plenty of people selling. Then in the evening, I'd sell and make large profits. I don't remember the details but the GE made the prices more stable and my World 2 merchanting scheme didn't work anywhere near as well.

It was much more fun to try and reign in the chaos of a live manual market than a corporate feeling GE. Maybe there's some relation to the old-school stock market floor where everyone was screaming and yelling to trade?
But I don't want any of those companies knowing which websites I visit. I only do business with one of them, and even then, they have no need to know what I'm doing outside of interacting with their sites. These companies have enough power already. Leaving it to them to decide whether you're trustworthy or not is just as dystopian as what's happening now. You've just moved the problem from Cloudflare to one of those companies. Plus, if they suddenly decide your account is invalid for some arbitrary reason that you aren't allowed to know, now you're completely fucked.

I expect lobbyists would be winners if short term limits were imposed. Inexperienced legislators would tend to rely extensively on party apparatus and lobbyists.
Yes, that's literally what the parent comment to your comment is talking about when they said this:

> If your cell provider is going to help stingrays connect to your phone...
> As a species we have no idea if we peaked or we are in our infancy

There are so many possible outcomes.

It can be true that humanity will peak, yet intelligence will continue to grow and expand beyond humans.

Any outcome where humanity is the utmost pinnacle of intelligence likely means that we do not stray beyond our gravity well. That earth-evolved intelligence will never reach the greater galaxy beyond. It falls far short of earth's potential.

I hope humanity is not the peak. There's so much more that lies beyond us. In a greater developmental timeline, we could be just amoebas. That's exciting to contemplate, even though we can barely fathom it.

Gmail is subject to specific targeting by spammers in a way that fastmail is not. The returns for spending weeks or months finding a niche way through Gmail's filters are justified by the number of gmail addresses that can be targeted, which is probably 3 orders of magnitude larger than the total number of fastmail subscribers.
It’s that a lot of the libraries take a while to catch up.

3.10 is pretty good to use lately with PyTorch and numpy, which I mention because they are usually the main stragglers I have to track. They are both compiled with your friendly local architecture’s stack.

Pydantic and FastAPI almost fell over because of changes to annotation handling, but woosh. That drama was forestalled.

I think the python 3.3+ series has confused a lot of people because major version improvements have been crammed into the process.

Guido, if you’re reading, we should have just gone to 4 when we changed so many things. I get why we were hesitant of versioning after the str/unicode upgrade broke everyone, but like…

There are versions of 3 that we had to almost immediately deprecate. The javascript community is probably laughing at us.

Now do chocolate. The first time I tasted Hershey's chocolate was... interesting, to say the least. For the uninitiated: It tastes like vomit. No, I'm not being purposefully annoying, it literally tastes like vomit. And that's entirely unsurprising, because apparently whatever process they use produces butyric acid.

I got over it in small quantities. I can eat Hershey's Kisses, which are rather tiny, and the vomit is now just an expected by-taste that works in small doses.

In community college not 5 years ago, I took the first two of a series of Cisco networking classes designed to prep for certifications such as CCNA.

When we came upon CIDR and VLSM, our instructor (very knowledgeable, down-to-earth, pragmatic) introduced us to various calculators that could assist us, although he did also show us a manual way to graph out each bit. Then he admitted that the VLSM portion of the class had often driven his previous students to tears, and he didn't want to see anyone crying over this anymore.

>The Battle Over Refrigerating Butter: ‘Enough Is Enough’

https://archive.ph/1jobX
My favourite is the French Le Gall Grand Cru organic and unpasteurised butters:

From their web-site

https://www.laiterie-legall.fr/nos-collections/?lang=en#beur...:

"Grand Cru butters

These butters are produced exclusively using unpasteurised raw creams.

They are more fragile and do not keep as long.
These are the most flavoursome butters.

Churned butter made with raw milk undergoes only a little heat treatment.

This gives it an authentic taste that is even more pronounced than a traditional churn"

> I wonder if strict and short term limits would inhibit the ability (for any entity) to condition the masses.

No, it would do exactly the opposite. Short term limits mean you perpetually have a revolving door of inexperienced and naive legislators who are much more prone to a) manipulation by experienced and cut-throat lobbyists and b) grabbing everything they can for their district with no regard for long-term sustainability, because they'll be gone before they can see any consequences.

I'm not picking on you in particular because I see this all over the place, but it really makes me crazy when people default to their gut emotions and desire to punish, and so come up with non-solutions like "shorter term limits!" which actually make the problem so much worse.
Because this is not just an issue of technical trust, it's also about human trust.

Good, the holy abbreviation trinity makes emails closely tied to some identity. Bad, it won't make your identity instantly trustworthy.

It is quite literally a problem without a solution, spam is not too far off from just crimes like littering, it needs legal methods against.
> We're just biological machines

I don't understand why you (and others) think this is an important point, though. Let's say, for the sake of argument, not just that you're correct, but that we're not even made of flesh. That we're actual robots called "humans".

I don't see how that changes anything. I'd still prefer "human" communication over communication from a different machine pretending to be "human".

Why? Because what others of my species/model feels and thinks has a unique importance and meaning to me, and having fake versions of that communication around reduces my connection to others of my species/model and devalues the society of them that I am a part of.
By volume of different projects probably not, but by usage probably. Once winners get decided and paths get treaded the ecosystem will probably be smaller but I bet the user count will be bigger.

Look, even if you're the most biggest skeptic of all the AI stuff you can still do useful things with it that you couldn't before like present full-English interfaces and get embeddings for arbitrary text which is a leap compared to word2vec for search. I can dm my discord bot a picture of an appointment confirmation text and it with OCR + LLm it just schedules the event in my calendar. Also by gluing a v8 isolate to the LLm I can give it much more complicated date calculations. My favorite was "If f(n) is the nth Fibonacci number schedule an appointment in f(5) days."

British & Irish butter is also excellent, don't give the French all the credit!
McGee (in On Food and Cooking) talks about a third variety: British butter. It has the dehydrated qualities of French butter but without the cultured flavor. It’s not better or worse, just different, and another excellent addition to the toolkit.

As an aside it’s always perplexed me why we talk about the fat content of butter when it’s the water that’s playing the role of modifying taste, texture, and steam generating potential. It’s like talking about the water content of wine being 88% when you’re really interested in the other half of the equation — the alcohol content!
I don't think "Irish Butter" is protected under those rules like say "champagne" is

The country of origin regulations would apply though - does it say very openly "made in Germany" on the packet? If not then it would likely fall foul of those rules.
Not only flea markets. The problem was so ubiquitous that sellers would walk in traffic and sell CDs with data to drivers.

> Where do you keep your passport, if you have one?

Nearby, 'cause I travel semi-frequently. Otherwise, in one of few designated drawers. I only kind of care, because replacing it isn't hard, just annoying - and I don't need my passport to get a replacement one.

> Your birth certificate?

Wherever. I don't care. If I need it, I can file a form, pay a small amount, and get arbitrary number of copies from the local government branch.

> Any other important papers you have?

The only important paper I store safely is the booklet the military gave me when I turned 18, related to then obligatory military service (which I didn't go to because of minor health issues). I only worry about tracking it because I don't know the process to replace it, and the military is Serious Business - but then, I'm sure the process exists. Also, I don't worry much, because chances I'll actually need it for something are nil (if shit hits the fan so much that I'll get called into service, nobody will care about that booklet - they'll hear me speak fluent Polish, they'll give me a gun and send to the meat grinder).

Also, relevant: most of the important documents - like my national ID (replaced twice over the past few years), passport, contracts, etc. - have an expiry date on the order of 10 years or less. My Google 2FA codes already existed for more, and I expect them to be valid for the next 10 years too.

Considering there's been plans to reduce cars in Paris since at least Delanoë's time in office, so since 2001, I don't think it's been going that quickly; though for sure the city did use the reduction in car traffic during the Covid lockdown to do some more work on bike/bus lanes.

I played RuneScape daily from 2005 - 2009 (I started playing with a friend after school every day when I was in 2nd grade).

Definitely gave me a leg up on things like spelling, social interaction, learning not to trust strangers who promise to guard you through the wilderness, etc. Arguably guided, subconsciously, some much later intuitions I had about psychology / economics / game theory. And it was probably also responsible in getting me interested in computers.

I could see it being part of a funnel that makes people more likely to wind up on HN.
I lived in LA for a year around 2010. I don't drive. LA has some amazing qualities for cycling: (1) Really damn wide streets. (2) Excellent weather. (3) Buses that let you throw your bike on a flip-down rack at the front. (4) Awesome nearby scenery and great views.

My understanding is, since living there, LA has embraced cycling. Good on you LA!

it has been popular for people living in Paris, but people from the suburbs who either have to transit through Paris by car or who have seen an increase in car trafic because people have to go around Paris aren't big fans of her; but they don't really have their say in this (because they don't live in Paris, they don't vote in the municipal elections)

With the difference being that you get your own /48 or /56 and suffer from only your own behaviour.

Ask HN: Best way to run Linux VMs on M1 Mac with fileSharing/shared networking?
Tried Parallels, but seemed to expensive.
Tried UTM, felt too slow.

Salt crystals, I only eat this kind of butter. But then I come from a department next to Brittany (and the local salt also has crystals and is cheaper than that from Brittany).

Apparently it's really a local thing because I have never been able to find butter with salt crystals from anywhere else, to my dismay since I haven't lived there for a long time (but I'm close enough to France that I can still get my butter there).
