“Rich man vs. fisherman on beach” is a flawed parable
You may have read this story on HN or somewhere else: fisherman hangs out at the beach all day, and the rich man works hard all his life to get to the same place (https://thestorytellers.com/the-businessman-and-the-fisherman/).

Except the parable doesn't think through a few super important things.

1. Children
If you have them you need money to raise them, send to college etc. Fishing isn't going to cut it.

2. Backup
If you've saved money and you get ill or have some other kind of emergency you can use the savings. But if you've just been living paycheck to paycheck (or fishcheck?) and you get some health issue you're kind of screwed (at least in the US).

3. Work can be meaningful
I haven't loved all my jobs but a lot of them were quite rewarding. I do like to fish, but it's never been quite as intellectually stimulating or rewarding as solving a complex people & systems problem, or as educational.

I've found emudeck on the Steam Deck to be surprisingly easy (I have a low tolerance for that sort of tinkering in my spare time). Downloading the right ROMs has been a little more painful (and slow), but once you've got them it's generally been just SCPing them onto the deck and then pressing the button to generate the menu entries.

Admittedly though, I don't care about amiibos or motion controls (I always turn them off when using my Switch).
That is an excellent website. Thank you for bringing my attention to it

But you don't need to opt into the network to be a potential victim of a false geolocation. Just the fact it exists and lots of people use it is sufficient to create risk of someone accusing you of stealing their iProduct, even if you've never purchased anything from Apple.

This is really neat. Do I need to give access to my data or just the schema?
It's a lot easier to remember "north and south are opposite" than it is to remember, "Oh right, 9 am is morning in England, early morning in New York, and the middle of the night in Los Angeles." And so on for every possible time of day.

Whereas it's (relatively) easy to guess, "Los Angeles is in California, that's three hours behind me in New York, so it would be 6 am there at 9 am here, so it's too early to call them yet." Not perfect, but not too bad for simple cases, and easy to do in your head most of the time.

Timezones are about standardizing _human_ time, not actual time.

The idea of searching for places to do product development that have fewer structural protections for residents is unconscionable.

This kind of "externality washing" is talked about as though it were some kind of amoral or practical business matter separate from ethical decisions, rather than an explicit attempt to avoid responsibility for the community that you are moving into.

That is to say, organizations look for economic areas that do not have power structures that will scrutinize, push back or otherwise enforce community social standards on said organizations. Capital will always find a downtrodden population to exploit for it's own development BECAUSE they do not have other protections.
The product sold doesn't comply with the stated fit of purpose. A consumer has the reasonable expectation that an ignition switch will hamper the efforts of someone to steal their car. There are lots of consumer protection laws that can be applied here - up to fraud. I suspect Baltimore isn't as interested in the the money to be gained as they are in generating negative PR for KIA and thus forcing them to address the issue.

It turns out the expected security support for android devices is only 3 years, so if you buy an older device it’s lifespan could be super short. Seems wild to me given apples support length is 5 years.

This supports that idea.

I am further going to assume that in his mind the video would get so many views that it would bring in more than the $5k investment.
I did try this method first and it achieved about an 80% reduction, still had a few issues. I don’t know what the Bluetooth range of AirPods is but my phone was apparently able to hear them from the end of the street and report that I’d left my AirPods about 100m from my house. Presumably Bluetooth doesn’t actually go that far and it’s just reporting “current location at the time it realizes it can’t hear the AirPods anymore”.
Hey! thanks for checking, much appreciated.
Yep, it's really for qualitative information, open ended questions.
The questions are not very different, there are extensive objectives set to keep it on the topic. It really talks to you like a person would.

Who knew registrars would go full on rent-seeking like this? So unpredictable.
>You assume that companies will share audits they conducted for free with everyone as a public service.

It depends, but in general there is significant, straightforward incentives to upstream most stuff. It makes things a lot cheaper over the long term for all involved, and particularly with security/stability and basic code hygiene there is basically never going to be any "special sauce" there where the company is getting some major additional value. It's all cost centers. So if an EU-based company audits and then needs to make some changes to a non-EU-based project, I'd assume by default they'd want all those changes upstreamed and made permanent since it'd reduce the burden going forward. Though again this is all highly speculative based on how it actually works. Also

>A single dev who wants to enter the market has an uphill battle. He is required to certify their own work, and provide audits of all dependencies. Good luck starting a business from your bedroom in such climate.

It is true I'm thinking of it from a non-European point of view, where it's not starting from scratch and by default it's not my problem. I'm not trying to downplay possible disincentives in those in the EU starting projects de novo. I just don't know enough about it.
Well, .dev domain has HSTS enabled to all subdomains. And there won't be even a hit to port 80 - it goes straight HTTPS by browser because of preload list. So you can't have non-HTTPS site on .dev domain visited by a browser. Thats some value.
I had my phone stolen and basically did the same thing. I didn't want to approach anyone for fear of starting some altercation. Wish there was a better way to go about this.

With my phone, if I had another device maybe I could have made it make a sound and then started a conversation with the person that way? I didn't know who exactly had it, although I am pretty sure I saw the person just walk away with it. Wasn't sure enough to make an accusation though.

I believe the premise is that airplane mode disconnects the OS from the modem, but it doesn't necessarily turn the modem itself off. It's still hitting cell towers and phoning back to Qualcomm. If Qualcomm has this information, three letter agencies have this information.
I'm using bzip2 to compress a specific type of backup. In my case I cannot afford to steal CPU time from other running processes, so the backup process runs with severely limited CPU percentage. By crude testing I found that bzip2 used 10x less memory and finished several times faster than xz, while being very close on the compression rate.

Other algorithms like zstd and gz resulted in much lower compression rates.

I'm sure there is a more efficient solution, but changing three letters in a script was pretty much the maximum amount of effort I was going to put in.

On an unrelated note, has someone already made a meta-compression algorithm which simply picks the best performing compression algorithm for each input?
KDE Connect is not restricted to KDE Plasma. It's an app, so it is available for Windows, Linux, and even iOS.
I don't see how any of these cases prove your point. None of these offenders seem to fit a profile of someone that is a threat to public safety.

It uses the Burrows-Wheeler transform to place similar strings next to each other before using other compression tricks, so it usually does a bit better.

And why wouldn't that content be translated into English anyway?

I struggle to imagine such local-specific topics that they couldn't/wouldn't draw attention here at HN
Even worse with transit in Vienna/Austria where if you buy tickets in advance for a specific day or date range they seem to take your local time into account if those tickets are bought while in another timezone. That's for tickets where time shouldn't even matter because they are for full days (from midnight to midnight).

If you're in Pacific time and you buy the ticket for a date in the future (let's say June 1st) before 3pm your local time everything works fine. But if you buy the same ticket for June 1st after 3pm Pacific local time (which is already the next day in Vienna) the ticket that you're buying isn't for June 1st but actually for June 2nd (only visible once you receive the confirmation).

So apparently they're somehow translating between timezones for the displayed dates, although that doesn't make sense: If I buy a ticket for June 1st on Vienna public transport I don't care what my local time is. Even if I'm in California while buying that ticket I still want it to be valid on June 1st instead of June 2nd.
GSConnect was a rewrite for the GNOME shell, but I think it's been 'depreciated' in favor of Valent. You can try both and see which you prefer:

By their nature, adblockers need to be undetectable by websites.

If you're just looking for statistics, why not go for a survey? It'd be more reliable than trying to detect something designed to avoid detection.
No definitely not. Kafka is for LinkedIn scale. Postgres is for everyone else.

Quick anecdote. I remember a friend who joined Shopify relatively early. He took ALL their data from many different services (analytics, Kafka etc) and loaded into Postgres on his laptop so he could query it efficiently.

It's amazing how over-engineered some startups are.
> Regulations don’t immediately mean a flight of intellectual capability to less restrictive places.

This. Most people forget that the US is still a highly regulated place. And the tech hub (California/Bay Area) is a highly-taxed and highly-bureaucratic area too...

It's not deregulation or investment. Innovative economies are like emergent behavior. They spring out of chaos and no one has no understanding so far how that happens.
Yes, but TLDs like this increase the attack surface of the system, making it easier for bad actors to exploit bugs in networked software or craft phishing-style attacks (including more opportunities for typosquatting). While com/net/org/country only was too spartan, I see the modern TLD free-for-all as a Bad Thing.
Thanks! We're starting with just the schema, good clarification.
I agree that tech today is much more filled with “for the money” types - I’ve been lamenting this repeatedly.

I don’t agree that companies successfully filtered them out via layoffs. If anything it’s the opposite. One of the “skills” that help you avoid being laid off is to be good at office politics and gaining visibility (so the VP making the layoff decision knows your name). That skill seems correlated with ladder-climbing more than tech-enthusiasm.
There was a Pepe coin, and I guess technically there still is, started five or six years ago. but it was issued on a different Bitcoin based colored coin protocol called mastercoin. edit: I just remember the token was actually called Pepe cash, and was pretty much a complete, functional implementation of what would eventually be called an NFT a couple years before the term even existed.

Mastercoin IIRC was further tweaked into something called Counterparty, on top of which ERC-20 -like tokens can be created that exist on the Bitcoin blockchain. I'm pretty sure there are special wallets that still trade them floating around somewhere, because it's not on its own separate blockchain. That said it was like all crypto spaces, a sock puppet filled ghost town as there are vanishingly few people who are interested in collecting obnoxious self-centered tech libertarian brolet memes.

I mean everything has been done before in crypto, often multiple times, with no success that lasts, because the people in charge are almost universally incapable of cooperating with one another in the public's best interest. The same public they want to lure into their little feudal utopian experiment.
Sorry just to be clear, are you attempting to make the Tuskegee vaccine argument?
Interesting - I wonder how it'll affect the subculture, I know that back in the 90s(?), people like Kei Miura were driving without a plaque, with a Jason Voorhees mask to ensure not being caught, and I think it's somewhat common to race for the car of the loser.

Hopefully this helps keep them away from general traffic - they are not only dangerous by themselves but also when pursued (https://www.google.com/url?q=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv...)
Me too, and for the same reason. But I don't think an air of solemn responsibility to the environment is the right way to frame it.

I hope you're having a great time in a way that others (especially children) can see and emulate. I hope you're enjoying projects that will be appreciated after you're dead, especially if they're the sort that people with kids don't have time for.

If we care about the children of the future, we've got to make this look good for its own sake.
In regards to the B-format processing, if it’s got DSP it would not be hard to implement, it’s simple matrix math. I would be happy to give them the filter set for the AMBEO VR Mic.

But there are a range of mixers on the market, not as beautiful, from Zoom (F4 and F8) and SoundDevices (MixPre 6, 8, 10) that have integrated A to B format converters. With the SoundDevices also having a binaural renderer integrated into the headphone out.

The larger issue is the one you have already identified, the lack of pre-amps. IIRC the field mixer they sell does contain preamps and DSP, but unsure if it can provide 48v that most Ambisonics mics from any manufacturer will require.

EDIT: In looking at the site for the field mixer they make [0] it appears it doesn’t have pre-amp except for a headset input. I was confused because their large diaphragm condenser that they have coming out will absolutely require a pre and power to operate, but it looks like it has an 3mm out with integrated battery operated pre-amp in addition to XLR and 48v phantom.

Not exactly the data I was looking for. This is very niche and not from a more comprehensive level. However, the city level data seems to show that some cities are not seeing a higher spike, but others are. Without any real analysis, this seems to indicate that there are other factors at play than simply Kias being easier to steal.
What’s so wrong with the anime post? I think it’s kind of endearing the way the writer makes this all seem religiously ok.
This is literally the only way to prevent dangerous use of motor vehicles. I have an old roommate who drove continuously on a suspended license in the most obscenely dangerous manner. He was constantly getting into accidents and tickets. Threat of jail, tickets, prison, etc... meant nothing. The only way anyone will stop him would be if he was risking his car being crushed into a cube.

You can separate them out and get best of both worlds. Buy a copy from ninetendo and give it to some kid who wouldnt have been able to have it otherwise and play the pirated version for the technically superior experience. No need to wring your pearls on this one.
I would invert that question and ask what, to you, would qualify as being sufficiently new that it doesn’t have? To me, there are tons of things. The death / checkpoint system, weapon durability, the massive non-linear open world, the recipe system, the puzzle dungeons, the fact that, if you want to, you can essentially go challenge the final boss immediately. If these things aren’t new enough, I have to wonder what is.

Nice. But why did the video creator feel the need to put in the fake film projector effects? The urge people have to add "oldness" where it is already present - though not in the form they imagine - is interesting by itself.
It's too far fetched and too flimsily executed, IMO. It's more of a parody of the paperclip factory than a serious warning against unleashed AIs.

One possible use case is that you didn't write/control the C-++ side, yet you can still extend it with Julia.
That'd be a little weird if that was Eich's "original vision" considering `Object.assign` didn't come out until ES6. Which was also when the `class` keyword was introduced.
I looked it up. Actually it was by someone I’ve never heard of, but Ghandi said something similar (just way more long-winded).

Ghandi also started a massive political movement so I think he did a lot of doing in between his being.

I imagine the prices are per month, but it wouldn't hurt to write it.
I think if interest rates had stayed low and we hadn't had the AI boom centered in San Francisco, then it would've been.

But with the interest rate increases and the follow on impact on lower startup funding and layoffs, plus the AI boom in SF, I think it didn't become reality.
German speaking. People seem to be downplaying the legal risks for “small” stakeholders that “would go under the radar of EU authorities” but the problem is that those laws introduce legal insecurity that many many developers I know are not willing to take. Those laws are shallowly formulated and will require plenty of court rulings over several years to form some kind of framework for concrete behavior. And as we’ve seen in the past, BigTech will be much better in handling this legal insecurity than smaller local startups.

If EU’s intention really is to assert a level playing field, then they just achieve the opposite.

Yeah, it's actually pretty good at fixing existing queries if you give it your schema. I'd say on queries from 10-50 lines of SQL it works 9 out of 10 times.

You're allowed to rant about whatever you like. What you're not allowed to do is fly airplanes or helicopters without the FAA's sign-off.

Look, I personally think you're probably a normal and well-adjusted person, or at least close enough that it's not dangerous for you to be allowed to fly. But all neurotypical humans judge each other based on subjective, possibly unfair pattern-matching at least as much, if not more, than what they say or do. Your blog, subjectively, has an unhinged vibe; it's not fair but it's true. You are not going to be able to prevent people from reading it and thinking "this pattern-matches the type of person who might commit terrorist acts with an airplane" (ironclad devotion to uncommon belief systems, long screeds against the government and mainstream society, etc).
Are you also making the claim that the EU lags behind the US in growth?

Otherwise that seems like a non-sequitur.
