Yep. It would make sense only if these were to be anchored below sea level or somewhere beyond the stratosphere, else it’s not space efficient.
It looks like yet another selfhostable Platform-as-a-service.

This product (and all the PaaS abstractions for kubernetes) introduce something called '200% problem' where you have to not only issues in kubernetes now but also fix platform issues.

Platforms like these existed since the dawn of cloud. I think the space is super crowded but no one has actually cracked this market. I think the total addressable market is fairly small for selfhostable PaaS.
Yeah, you are just trading security with those runners though. I want the cache to be secure and not being able to take over other repos/branches/tags ci-jobs.
Well, sort of. If a professor of finance writes an article about how options work I'll trust it, but if he starts saying "historically options were used to xyz abc political thing whatever" then sure he should back up his argument.
Part of why I think cities around the world went all in on highways is that its so much simpler and therefore cheaper to serve people with highways than to plan effective transit routes and schedules. With a transit route you have to consider that people will be walking to the station so its fundamentally a compromise: where one person has a 5 minute walk to the platform on the subway line inevitably means there are people not even very far away who now have a 15 minutes walk, and people farther out who might not even use the local subway because that means they add an hours walk to their day. To serve those people you now need to start planning bus or bike networks on top of the subway. All of these vehicles need operators who need benefits. You also need maintenance yards for rail and bus. Electrical substations. The actual subway line is just a part of it all.

With a highway on the other hand, it seems a lot easier to serve more people with less complicated infrastructure. When you run a highway to a town instead of the subway line example above, pretty much everyone in town is close enough to the local highway ramp with a car on the existing road network. You don't have to consider schedules or hire train operators, people drive themselves when it works for their commute. This highway also serves freight, so now you don't need to sell right of way to a freight rail company with the expectation they maintain the line to your town forever (they probably wont). A truck bay is cheaper to build for a business than a freight rail loading dock and maintenance of a rail spur.

A lot of cities in the US that are I'd say less than 1 million people without any geographic bottlenecks are a dream to get around with a car. You pretty much never hit traffic on the highway, so 20 miles is 20 mins away always. The highway network serves the entire region, so you can go just about everywhere in the area in 20 miles in those 20 minutes, not just a handful of places.

To offer that sort of convenience, turnkey scheduling with basically 25 minute door to door commutes, in transit form across lets say a 20x20 mile area would be enormously expensive, in the low trillions I'd guess given current american prices on subway tunnels per mile. Whatever we can afford to build won't nearly be so useful, and people are already so addicted to this sort of high speed car based transit that the cat is entirely out of the bag and now this is the expectation, this simply unachievable level of personal convenience using transit.

It's also interesting that essentially none of the native animals in Africa are domesticatable -- I think donkeys are the one thing we managed to domesticate there, most everything else was brought back from other continents.

Animals you'd think would be basically like other species we've domesticated, like zebras or gnus, take a strong "fuck you" attitude towards people and have resisted modern efforts to domesticate them.
Most defiantly. iOS is a different kettle of fish.

Same challenges are present with performing forensics on an iPhone! The top commercial forensic toolkits will try to jailbreak the handset if possible to pull off artifacts. Good luck on newer hardware with the latest iOS versions. [1]

On the topic of iOS forensics, you can still get quite many useful artifacts from iOS backups with Mobile Verification Toolkit [2] being quite exceptional. I have had less success with iOS backups and the popular iLEAPP forensics software [3].

> absolutely fall to pieces when having to code while being watched

Yeah, this is the biggest problem I have with it. I try to be conscious of this, and try to keep things pretty lighthearted. If I notice someone getting nervous, a "you're doing great for time" usually calms them. If not, I do follow up interview, if they did well seeking an understanding the problem, and could explain it verbally. I've had a few people pass with flying colors after a second round.

> and that's a good angle to approach their GitHub profile

I disagree here, with the (probably wrong) assumption that not having a GitHub profile adds a negative bias. Some people put their coding hours into work, with different lives outside of coding. All of the colleagues I've known with impressive GitHub profiles burnt out/left. Battle stories can be within corporate repos.
> And I always avoided filling up in Oregon because waiting for the "service" could sometimes be longer than the fill-up itself.

Also because they would look at you with sheepy eyes expecting tips. I avoid valet parking for the same reason. I can fill up my own gas and park my own car, I don't need the service in the first place.
Just put it in a Faraday cage. Problem solved.
I donated actual hard earned currency to my socialist candidate. Predictably futile, but I can state that none of this shit is my fault or what I wanted.
Noob question, but was the application streaming over plain http, or did you do something to decrypt https traffic? How would you do the latter?

Edit: with mitmproxy and installing a cert in the phone's store, as explained in the latter half of the write-up. I guess that wouldn't work if the application pinned the server certs, but I guess this "commercial malware" is not that sophisticated.
I think this nails the heart of the problem. We've empowered women and assumed men would be able to continue an as we always have. The issue is that the world has changed but none of the education has. No one is sitting down young boys and teaching them to be better. I only developed emotionally because my parents were smart and got me therapy. When we focus on teaching girls since we've been neglecting them that we've failed to extend that to boys.

Just as society has historically dissuaded women from pursuing stem it has historically dissuaded men from growing emotionally. We've started to tackle that first element but I truly believe that the second one is the next breakthrough. As it is, men like Andrew Tate are trying to fill that void. I think this is because we as a society have failed to lift up boys and give them healthy role models
I was referring to the idea that in an aging country, even if young/old people would equally show up to vote, the older people will have more votes.

Which is democracy. It is fair in that sense, although surely it will not feel that way at all times.
How can that scale when they need to increase trading volume? Radio has jack shit in terms of bandwidth.
I realized they are making it worse and worse to use for mobile, like the browser version barely works anymore on mobile, and sometimes forces you to go to the app :(
Yep, democracy in action. Although I suspect if polities were smaller and more independent then certain areas, with more poor and young people, would vote to prioritise policies to incentivise housing construction.

Large polities result in the same policies being applied to regions that are fundamentally different in ways that make policy good for some and bad for others.

I think housing issues present a good case for confederalism or even anarchism. States rights in the US or Swiss Cantons are examples where different regions have more control over policies and thus can suit them to their own specific needs. The smaller the polity the better. Also why special economic zones tend to produce good outcomes.
There’s an old interview where Steve Jobs calls out Microsoft in having no taste.

You get a bunch of cocky guys together that say “well the foldable phone is feasible and within our budget, let’s impress people’s demands”

Instead of taking a step back and wondering if pressing this hard is really worth the effort. Like there’s really a convincing need for a folding screen other than quickly tiring party tricks before it goes back to being a boring large Android phone.

Steve was an ass, he thought the average consumer was dumb and didn’t know what they wanted. I couldn’t imagine him catering this hard.

The size reduction of the iPod nano was an example of something consumers found compelling. It was a success and it took a lot of effort to reduce size/price

The takeaway from this is:

Google has taken on the risk factor of a releasing a screen no other company has achieved thus far for a small market that will at most benefit their image.

I just don’t think it’s a surprise Apple isn’t trying to create a seamless Nintendo DS like device so business men can pretend they’re reading WSJ in cyber dystopian 1987.

Dumb
But its good to try something different, at least once, somewhere in the world? People live in yurts, and they are circular. Perhaps it was good to explore the idea that living spaces didn't need to be rectangles. Perhaps it feels different? Perhaps living in a space that doesn't easily fit rectangular furniture would lead to some new insights?
+1 to all of the above. Especially “try stuff”.

Going along with 3 and 4, realizing how much worse avoidance was than embracing anxiety and the causes of it was a game changer.

The book “Flow” also applies here.
They didn't say government. They said Central Banks, which in most places are semi-disconnected from elected government since you don't really want anyone playing politics with Central Bank policy.

Central Banks are generally tasked with setting one single, but very powerful, variable: interest rates. There's thought to be a pretty strong causal relationship between interest rates and unemployment.

The central bank absolutely knows that jacking up interest rates will, in the short term, drive down living standards. The trade-off is that it will also drive down inflation, which causes much bigger drops in living standards in the long term.

... Or so the theory goes.
the exact same that happens on SES, only now you are beholden to amazon. Trade with care
It happens on iPhones and Watches as well, occasionally.

But if I remember correctly, the emergency call feature is something that is explicitly explained during the iOS/watchOS initial setup and/or upgrade procedure, at which point you can also elect to opt out, so at the very least, it's less of a surprise.
These two issues are related everywhere outside London.

The reason why transport infrastructure is "so bad" is because in every city apart from London, you cannot build outside the city so developers often have to get planning permission on sites in rural areas and they can't connect transport to nearby cities.

It is quite maddening because building is often actually blocked in some of these cities because of infrastructure concerns too...even though, the problem would be solved at a higher level by building closer to cities.

The whole thing is bad intention arguments the whole way down.

How about government taxing workers less, providing more support for education and healthcare and transportation? Then workers wouldn't have to demand higher wages because they could get by with the subsidies they get from government.

The remaining question of course is how could the government provide these extra benefits without increasing the taxes on the workers? The answer of course is raise taxes on the rich, the companies, and the super-rich. The wage-inflation problem solved.
As a taxpayer I think in-person work reduces waste
I suppose if it's a state law it reduces all the time wasted by employees renegotiating this every month or so on a per-office, per-boss level.

Not to mention the jealousy and back-stabbing that would result from one office having unlimited remote work and another one having almost none.

Get labor levels back and get labor levels back at below market rate are different.

Market rate changes for jobs and some corporations (and people) seem to think that people should take jobs as offered even when they’re bad. We have record low unemployment, yet companies that complain about labor levels are basically outing themselves as bad employers, for some definitions of bad (pay, safety, comfort, etc).
That, or commercial real estate is a powerful lobby group.
This behavior is pervasive across all industry. If profit is the sole motivator, public opinion or insubstantial fines are not enough of a deterrent.
I don't entirely follow...

Most of the diagrams in this article are SVG files. Yes, you can look at the source (a big pile of numbers), but that doesn't say how they were created.

I realize that a lot of this author's other articles have animated WebGL stuff, and the source code is illuminating, but not so much here, unless I'm missing something.
If that's the reason why you're whining than I will explain a simple trick: "Paella model"
Maybe they can work at a library, those are government buildings afterall.
So basically the same justification as every push to get employees back in the office: Very Important People want to be able to yell at employees who dont actually work for them, but are beneath them in an org chart.

When employees work from home and meeting requests have to go through proper channels, somebody might have a chance to stop that abuse.
I mean… If you’re on the network presumably you already know the location?

Without HTTPS filtering, I would believe uBlock Origin to be better as it should be able to operate on secure connections. But it's limited to the browser.

On my side I use both: AdGuard on the system side to help with apps and Chrome, and uBlock Origin in Firefox for HTTPS or when another VPN is being used.

Note: for applications/services, buying the no-ad option or using an open-source application from F-Droid is the better way when possible. Even when doing so, AdGuard can be helpful for in-app web browsers that don't have ad blockers.
The government has introduced a requirement for photographic ID for all UK parliament elections, as well as local elections in England. This has been quite heavily discussed, so I'm surprised you haven't heard about it.

Very sound advice. What if you have purchased some Bluetooth enabled device that requires an app? Don't purchase Bluetooth/connected hardware? Perhaps!

My next blog post will be on a bike Speedometer that uses GPS to calculate the bike speed. It has an Android app, and yes it sends your data to remote servers hosted within Hong Kong.

Buffy was adopted by an American family from Wakefield, Massachusetts, Albert and Winifred Sainte-Marie.

Putin was accused of committing a war crime for doing the same thing to children of Ukrainian families living in the war zone.
Thanks! I appreciate the adaptation of the quote.

I probably need to be more diligent in working on the feasible. I think my default is to assume everything must be optimized, and not that everything could just ‘be done’.
I think this only holds for the urban areas (or where you have to take your car to the DEQ). Drive out to Hood River and no such thing exists. Maybe the state has allowed the rural areas to update on a longer schedule.
> people still need to put food on the table

IBM has no problem putting food on its table. It's doing so by using open source products to accomplish it.

On the other hand, IBM is trying to prevents others from putting food on their tables, using the same open source products.

IBM is painting themselves as the victim here[1]. You and many others have taken the bait.

Whats tricky is getting the investment to continue to be good once you are in the condo stage. So many condo owners hate owning condos because of how hamstringing it is. It seems like a natural march that one day a low density apartment will grow to a high density one, but how does that happen with condos? A few might not want to sell or go along with whatever change to the building and could hold up the entire process. Its like the situation where your nimby neighbors won't let you turn your home into an apartment, but now these people live in your damn building with you too. Its part of the reason why a lot of buildings in nyc are so old, turnover is tough when you have a building full of people already.
Show HN: Made a database for H1B salaries and job search resources and tools
Hello there,

I had tried this project about 7 months ago but the feedback wasn't positive. So, went back to the drawing board & reworked on it.

I created a database of visa filings reported by DOL in which companies disclose the base salary their are offering. Also, added a database of helpful tools & resources available to job seekers.

The target audience is mainly immigrants looking for job but the information can be used by anyone to research salaries & find resources. Hoping to keep maintaining & keep adding more resources to it.

Open to any feedback or comments.
For once, I really hope the US govt would do something about these sort of devices. I bought a digital picture frame from amazon. It's listed as having an SD card. When I tried to set it up. It wanted me to install an android app, and that was the only way to save pictures to the SD card. To connect the device to Wifi, then use my phone to send picture to the device. So nothing only would I have an unknown device in my network, collecting and reporting who knows what, it would be on my cell phone as well. I returned it. Imagine if there was 100k or 500k of these trojan horse devices in the US. It's truly scary what it means for US's national security.
I mean that's one of the reasons keto is so popular. For a lot of people they manage to lose weight while being able to enjoy what they eat while they'd have trouble sticking to better diets. There's obviously draw backs and if they eat only bacon a keto diet isn't going to help them but if they do keto "right" it's an improvement for them.

Giving alternatives to marginally improve might be more useful than a tough love aproach of saying "Since you know the best thing to do, if you don't want to do it that's on you".

In that vein some things that may improve the amount of exercise you do:

Joining social sports club, the focus may be more on wining/improving skills/social aspect than exercise and so may help take focus off the unenjoyable part and a commitment to your group/team/opponent may be more motivating than a commitment to themselves for some people.

Walking/cycling desk setup. An initial outlay in cost but if it's there and you're doing it while concentrating on something else it might be a significant improvement.

Setting an alarm/timer to do a set of weights or squats every hour or so, stops your muscles atrophing if nothing else and will mean when you do purposfully exercise your not immediately discouraged by how sore you are 1 minute into it.

Any everyday routine you can more easily force into your day. Maybe a jog around the block/up and down apartment stairs before your morning shower. Or join the gym that is along your commute rather than the cheaper one that you need to purposefully drive/walk to. Maybe you listen to a chapter of audiobook while doing pallates as soon as you get home. Forming a habit has the highest initial cognitive load, quite often it's easier(not easy) to tie it to the begining of or end of another action you do everyday than it is to do something at a specific time.

Don't let best be the enemy of better.
Yes, that estimate is with the greatly reduced HFT volume. And it may not be 100% accurate, HFT and trading in general could move to another market without these taxes and/or switch to a type of derivative with a lower/no tax. Like the UK, for swaps. But these other markets are smaller and not really a replacement. And these other markets may pass similar taxes in the future.
If anyone read the paper, you would see this is a sensationalist headline that bundles the rising price of imports (global inflation) with domestic profits, which makes no sense.

When a narrative defies logic like "corporations suddenly all became greedy and colluded to raise prices, causing inflation," it should raise alarm bells in your head. Especially if it ignores the parts where central bank governments increased their respective circulating money supplies by 20-30% in 3 months, while simultaneously flooring interest rates.
