> if you lie and they later find out they can fire for that reason

There is no standard "background check." A criminal history might come up, might not. You have to decide what's the best strategy... disclose it now while I'm competing against multiple other candidates with clean records and no solid internal relationships, or not say anything and take my chances, that maybe someone may discover it in the future and my ability, once I've become a well-liked, important contributor to the company, to be able to explain it away.
The World Bank says "Billions of people worldwide —especially the world’s poorest— rely on healthy oceans as a source of jobs and food"

The UN says the oceans are "the main source of protein for more than a billion people around the world".

Not everyone does.

For example, I used to live in a part of the UK with no mobile towers, and thus no reception.

So if I really, absolutely had to make a phone call at some point I could then travel to a different town + buy a new sim card / phone number to make the call with.

Meanwhile Vodafone (UK) expires mobile phone numbers after 3 months of inactivity. So, that "new" phone number would tend to be expired when I next needed to use it.

This happened several times. :/
If you have a CI/CD setup, then it makes sense to set up a module proxy that will just cache everything forever.
I'm not trying to be insulting, I'm trying to help you and other readers. You're clearly ignorant of company finances, and commenting like you know what you're talking about is doing no one any favours.

You picked the one quarter they did poorly, before this they made a consistent 1B+ net profit. This is extremely good financials, and not volatile at all. They also have 50B in assets at the moment, including almost 8B in cash.
It's easier to coast at the office and look productive. Much easier. Attending every social fuction, social visits, adhoc meetings can kill half a week easy.
Well, I haven't used either of those, so I can't comment on a comparison ... but the point is less 'powered by an ai' and more the fact that I'm using English, not the jargon of create-react-app or dotnet new or the rails version or the django version ... Right now, my experience programming with an AI is that I'm much better off asking for subroutines to do this and that, not ask for a complete architecture. Mostly for debugging reasons: When it doesn't work, I want the debugging to be manageable. Getting the AI to debug its own code has not been a productive path for me, but hopefully soon.
No loophole nor exceptions - we're following guidance from the International Maritime Organization on the maritime regulation of Type A WIGs (https://wwwcdn.imo.org/localresources/en/OurWork/Safety/Docu...), which have been upheld by flag states all around the world.

The benefit of ground effects are:
- 10-20% range extension (agreed, between 50% and 100% wingspan, which is where seagliders fly, the aerodynamic benefit of ground effect is reduced compared to near surface flight)
- Drastic reduction in reserve fuel. This is a key limitation of electric aircraft because they need to sustain powered flight to another airport in the event of an emergency. We can always land on the water, therefore, we can count all of our batteries towards "mission useable"

These two effects combine to give seagliders double the range of any electric aircraft - 180 miles with existing battery technology.

We use hydrofoils to solve for the wave tolerance and maneuverability problems that plagued past WIGs and made them commercially unviable. To take-off directly from hydrofoils before they cavitate, we had to slow take-off speed to ~50 mph, which drove us to a "blown wing" design that distributes propulsion over the wing, "blowing" the wing with high speed air and therefore creating high lift even at low speeds.

Very difficult to distribute propulsion with IC engines or mechanical linkages. Electric propulsion technology unlocks the blown wing, which unlocks the use of hydrofoils, which unlocks wave tolerance and therefore operations of WIGs, which unlocks longer range of electric flight. It all works together.

And electrification is generally good: both for the planet and for ticket prices
> How is Musk sympathizing with minimum wage workers? Did the minimum wage workers ask for the "laptop class" to comeback to the office? Do they even care? What about people in other lines of work where remote isn't an option? Do they care? It seems more likely that Musk is just using this false comparison as a way to pit labor classes against each other.

In my home country no one can do a background check like that. But they can ask me to produce a "proof of good conduct and morals". Seldom they ask for this. The only places they ask for it I know of is working for NATO, EU or something like that.
If anyone’s interested, the Oxi One is pretty awesome for sequencing bluetooth gear as well as midi and CV devices. I didn’t have super high hopes as it was a Kickstarter device, but they’ve surprised me by continually updating it, and it’s a pretty fantastic machine now.

Control of your purchases can end up as a form of thought control; digital currency providers can prevent you from buying a book, attending a meeting or even connecting to the internet.
Don’t ground effect planes have issues with big waves? I’m trying to figure out what coastal routes would look for this, open ocean is pretty rough in general.
It does sound good on the surface. Equality for all. Right? Only selectively. But nice touch invoking immorality.

Is it moral to fly around the US and the world while the guy that's hiring the chef that cooks your food stays grounded?
IMO this is one of your biggest hurdles to clear.

About a decade ago I had a coworker whose access was suddenly pulled from all prod systems. The reason? Someone with his (quite common) name had a warrant issued in Oklahoma. We weren’t anywhere near Oklahoma and he’d never even set foot in Oklahoma. But our company had a few state contracts that required clean background checks & periodic rescreenings of employees, they checked him, and his name matched. It took a few weeks to clear it up, during which time he couldn’t do his job.

Most contracts aren’t likely going to be that painful but you’ll have a hard time going near any compliance regime with a criminal background, which narrows your options.
> There are some exceptions, but I think that the whole notion of work from home is a bit like the fake Marie Antoinette quote, ’Let them eat cake,'″ Musk told CNBC.

You're going to make the people who make your food… that they can't work from home? The people that fix your house — they can't work from home? But, you can? Does that seem morally right?" the billionaire asked. "That's messed up."

Interesting, haven’t seen this exchange till now. He’s basically talking about what is increasingly becoming identified as the “laptop class” who can do the whole virtual life, live in lockdowns indefinitely, carry on with delivery stuff, etc etc. He’s building a set of claims about the morality of that set of arrangements for our subpopulation who are members of the laptop class. I’ll have to think about that one, that’s a novel claim to view those affordances critically in terms of special treatment and how that all intersects in the morality angle.
Ask HN: What email do you use?
What email do HN prefer to use? Is it gmail, outlook, or something more tailored to privacy? Or do you host your own? What open source email server do you use if that’s the case?

Just wondering what’s out there, or maybe some new email providers maybe they are interesting to know.

Bonus, what client do you use too, regardless desktop or mobile clients?

And what’s the cons/pros for any of the above from your experience?

My 2cents: hosting own email is tiresome nowadays, your emails are mostly will be flagged as spam by most big email providers.
> Why is that better?

Because it doesn't create unnecessary suffering for the unfortunate people who find themselves out of a job because some executive over-allocated for a particular role or department. Fundamentally, we want people to still participate in the capitalist system and not reject it because they're constantly treated like cattle.
Well, I'm thinking more of a web site Hello World than a C++ Hello World. The original point of Hello World (per Kernighan and Ritchie) was to ensure that all the tools were installed (the compiler itself wasn't a given) and in your path and configured correctly. So yeah, I was say even in 1988 (when I started programming in C) there's a way in which Hello.c was 5 minutes. But when I started with Rails (years later), it was more like 1/2 a day, and the Hello World notion had expanded in scope by quite a bit. I didn't spell out the _kind_ of Hello World I had in mind. My bad.

The forecasted health impacts seem extremely high.

Coping strategies:

* drive a couple hours North and camp in the mountains. 3.5F drop/1000 ft elevation. Flagstaff’s highs in summer are 25F cooler than Phoenix and is a two hour drive away. (You do have at least one gasoline car that will work during an outage, don’t you?)

* swimming pools/water parks/water sprinklers/tepid baths…Salt River 40 minutes drive away. Very low humidity (i.e. Phoenix heatwave) + tepid water + cotton clothing + air drying with any breeze = very cool.

* free-standing evaporative coolers for outdoor sleeping. A 2kWh lithium battery would power a 90W free-standing (4 ft high) evaporative cooler for 20+ hours and blow a continuous 70 degree directable breeze during a 95F (and thus a very low humidity) night. A gas-powered generator would handle a few coolers simultaneously and continuously for not much gasoline. Maybe require such coolers and generators/batteries for any facility housing elderly and other vulnerable. Such coolers are about $200 US. Requires refilling with water every two-three hours, but larger units can be hooked up with a hose to public water utilities, and a float valve in the unit lets them run without intervention.

* adobe buildings

* shade, shade, shade (mad dogs and Englishmen…)

It is worthwhile to highlight the dangers from heat events (recent event in Chicago killed hundreds) and plan mitigation strategies, but making scary predictions outside the realms of common sense is counterproductive. Creative adaptation must be modeled too, for the actual forecasted impacts to be accepted as credible.
In practice it rarely comes up. I don't even know if it's actually enforced. I'm pretty certain I do more than 25 every 3 hours.
Ah I see the confusion - that overflight wave tolerance is defined by an emergency landing condition. In the extremely low probability chance that the seaglider needs to perform an emergency landing, the passengers need to be safe. That defines the 8-13ft window.

In no cases are we contouring waves in flight. We fly straight and level. Typical flight altitudes are 10-30ft above the wave peaks. The waves are well below us.
Crime does seem to center around heavily developed public transit corridors, but it is difficult to tell if economic or transit accessibility are the primary drivers of increased crime (probably a bit of both).

No one using ChatGPT is confused. You have to make an explicit choice in the switch, and if you are using the API you have to put the name in as a parameter.
GPT-4 barely performs above 3.5 now. They’ve resource-constrained or otherwise hobbled it to support all the corners of Microsoft products they’re stuffing it in. The amount of errors and logic degradation after the May update is incredibly obvious for all but the most trivial use cases.

As an early retired person who is most definitely capitalizing on “taking it easy”, this lifestyle sounds positively exhausting and hellish to me.

I find it mostly interesting how different successful people can be with wildly varied takes on what works for them lifestyle-wise as well as what they value in life. Not to mention how we prioritize (and focus) our limited time on earth.

Kudos to you for making your life work well. We’re wired differently, and that’s okay.
Ask HN: Do other industries do something resembling a daily standup?
I worked for a company that hired a tech as he was being prosecuted for company equipment theft for a previous company. I think it had to do with him selling unused and outdated equipment on ebay. Anyway, he got the job and there was never any secrecy about it. Not sure why they did it but obviously it was not a big deal. I guess it all comes down to what the felony is.
It really should work for inner sound service. The waves in the sound aren’t that bad, it’s definitely not like going from Koh Phi Phi to Phuket (I get a stomach ache just thinking about plying the Andaman Sea).

I wonder if this is a better way to get from Seattle to Victoria, for example. We could really use an aerodrome for our water front.
From Waymo's perspective it is certainly desirable to have someone else paying for the cars.

The problem is that when others spend on it, Waymo has more leverage over them if the cars are only going to work with the Waymo driver. Perfect vendor lock-in on assets worth $150k each.

What's in it for Uber? Perhaps just a more favorable & longer term deal, but if so, they're essentially handing over the future of their business to Waymo.

In the past we had indexed color screen modes. You could draw all pixels to the screen once and give each pixel an index into a color palette. When you would start, they would all be mapped to white, but as you start with coloring, you would then just change the color of the palette entry (truly a O(1) operation) and your graphics card would then do the work at scan time. I guess the closest equivalent nowadays would be to do this inside the pixel shader.
Haha wow judging by the downvotes I guess people disagree! I meant that "substance" is a euphemism for psychoactive drugs. I guess the whole term is jargony as well. It's fine, shrug.

But in other developed countries, kids still die from car crashes and swimming pools. It’s less of a “one is too many” argument for me and more a question of “if everyone else is able to get this right, how the hell are we getting it so wrong?” Looking around the world really drives the point home that these are avoidable fatalities.
Finally. Some here are probably devoted to 7zip or winrar; I can understand that but to be honest, I'd rather it just be painless and native. Not a big deal but one less program to install on new Windows computers now.
No, but it regulates the reporting of it by "consumer reporting agencies," which includes background check companies, as you would see noted in the linked article. Seven years is a common length of time which the information can be reported, although it varies by the exact type of check that's done, by whom, and for what purpose.
Interesting role reversal. The term is indeed ambiguous!

Provider: fastmail

Client: Mail.app (macOS/iOS)

I was a very happy user of mh-e (an emacs mail client) for decades, but as more and more email became HTML, and email itself became more of an official notification mechanism, it became unviable.

Mail.app is pretty awful from macOS 11 (10.14 and earlier was ok): searching is almost totally broken, and the UI is getting steadily worse. I'm actively looking for an alternative.
Some of us guys would prefer that version as well.

I’m not sure there’s an assumption, more that the author is a straight guy and creating things based on his experience and perspective. Would the creator even know what a woman, or someone like myself wanted in a partner?

There is truth to our industry being predominantly male though, so this probably gets more interest from people on sites like HN and Reddit.

I wish the article would give some specific examples of what it looks like to focus on what went right in a productive way, instead of just speaking in generalities.

Since the website is focused on safety at sea, let's suppose I go on a day cruise. I don't look at the weather or tidal forecasts, or even bother to check the depth of the anchorage at my destination. The weather turns out to be fine, with smooth, glassy seas, and by chance I pull into the anchorage at low tide and still have plenty of depth for my boat. Surely safety II wouldn't teach me that it's not important to check the weather, tides, or depth? On the other hand, if I get caught in a bad squall or run aground at my destination, it's hard to deny that I should focus on my lazy preparation as the root cause.

Are there some better, more specific guidelines for when and how to apply Safety II principles?

In the mid seventies I painted my newly built harpsichord in three colors with alkyd paint. Six coats with sanding between. It took about a month. After the final coats, it took several grades of wet sanding followed by rubbing compound.

Then there's composite gliders. Gelcoat is sprayed into molds before layers of fiberglass, Kevlar, or carbon fiber alternated with adhesive is laid into the mold.

Gelcoat durability is problematic. Eventually you have to sand WITHOUT damaging base layers before repainting.

Composite adhesives can be toxic. I know a canoe builder and a glider repair engineer who died prematurely – and two harpsichord builders.

Really? My street was recently turned into a greenway / bike street, and it's brought me nothing but an endless bike parade of smug white people in silly clothing. Just a couple hours ago, I was having to get my car towed and the tow driver was 3/4 into turning slowly back into the street when two women on bikes zoomed right in front of him, causing him to slam the brakes. One of them then shouted "Thank you!" over her shoulder. I can barely open my car door without some sanctimonious guy in spandex flying by and screaming at me.

No and no. It is possible to stop invasive species, but it requires catching them before they have spread widely, or that they are restricted to a small area (like rats on Midway Atoll). Once an invasive species has spread widely, there is very little that can be done. You can extirpate them in a small area, but due to the characteristics that make them invasive, it’s virtually impossible to completely get rid of them.
To add on one anecdotal data point, I've never worked anywhere that didn't do a criminal background check. If you have a public record expect that everyone you work with knows.
There must be a limit. Like: Will it blend?
