You're getting downvoted, but it's a really bad take. The assumption that not working is just playing video games alone or getting drunk says a lot about the OP.

If I'm not working I'm doing things I truly enjoy, things that don't involve me sitting in front of a computer to subsist and generate wealth for other people.

Like spending quality time with friends and family, sometimes that includes video games and drinks. Video games and drinks alone, not as fun.
Stop trying.

Many people are trying ...

The problem with trying is that no one agrees.
Which will make aggregators, filters, sifters all the more important.

Unfortunately the high quality solution is to throw humans in the mix and have their brains absorb the shrapnel, and they can approve what others should look at. Like techmeme.com and drudgereport.com
It is indeed Electron, but it has a much better linking story (don't even mention plugins [1]). Evernote being a native app was the last thing the held me as a paid customer with them. Also, the move to Electron was quite bumpy, they simply dropped half the features and it didn't recover until well over a year into the migration.

You have a point and it is attractive, but I think a tool that reformats HTML should not change its actual meaning, the result should render the same way as the input unless explicitly asked. The original page could have been tested and a difference would be surprising.

It could be an option though.
If I were substack I'd start figuring out how to ban AI generated content on their platform. Trust in content on certain platforms being non-AI seems like a significant selling-point going forward.
James Baker was Deputy General Counsel at Twitter lol. His official job was to be involved in exactly these types of decisions. He left the FBI in 2018.

Raise complaints about the revolving door between govt and industry if you want, but this is cut-and-dry not about a government official pressuring a private company. It's about a private company hiring a former government official (years out of service) and then that person doing the job they were hired to do.
It's not that it wouldn't be nice to be able to do this, it's that it's hard (as in, I'm not aware of anyone who has figured out a way). As it is the blockchain world (apart from bitcoin) has largely moved on to proof of stake so they no longer burn tons of CPU that could be put to better use if you hypothetically solved the problem I outline above.

And bitcoin presumably isn't going to change to doing your new model training thing if you came out with it for the same reason they haven't changed to proof of stake. I'm not aware of what that reason is but presumably the status quo benefits the existing miners and they hold the power.
Don't slippery slope me on what can happen in social media when both public and private interests do what you are worried about right now!
And your point is? Humans evolved in that last tenth of the chart, and established modern society in the last pixel. I'd rather not our extremely fragile global society get disrupted by temperature fluctuations.
The capitalists are circling over Ukraine
The thing that society needs to do most urgently right now is to identify people like you then disempower, ostracize, and shun them. Free speech is great and all but there should be consequences for using your privileged access to fora like these for the purpose to which you are trying to abuse it. Access to civil society should be predicated on pulling in the direction of survival.
I have purchased Faraday bags just for this occasion!
Agreed, sure I fucked over my customers after my startup was bought by Google, but I didn't really care because I was able to afford three yachts. I didn't even bother writing the shutdown message myself, I paid some dude on Fiverr to do it. Maybe 150k is fine if you're willing to settle for an above-ground pool in some shithole state in the Midwest, but if you want to spend your time where the true work happens, and collaborate with other innovators and founders in the only place that matters (bay area) you have to set your sights a bit higher.

There's a 5 part test laid out by the 9th circuit in Gibson v. Office of Attorney Gen related to speech rights of government employees. The government has broad latitude to restrict the speech that occurs in the course of a government employee's job, SCOTUS laid this out in Garcetti v. Ceballos. Moreover, this is an injunction related to the pending trial, and while judges can sometimes be a bit too aggressive for my taste there seems to be a compelling reason here.
This unit is designed differently, blocking more of the view, but lets the window close: https://www.amazon.com/Midea-Inverter-Conditioner-Flexibilit...

People are happy with this unit in NYC for tiny pre-war construction units that can't use traditional A/C for reasons.

The other unit you link appears to be sold under a variety of brands, look at the comparable products and the button configurations, in all of them the blue light on right is a bit offset upwards:

https://www.amazon.com/R-W-FLAME-Conditioners-U-Shaped-Condi...

This is not unusual. Almost all these compressor-based mechanical boxes, from A/Cs to refrigerators, low end to high end, are made by the same 3 mega companies and white labeled by even the "best" known brands.
Public social media is one to many publishing.

Mass publishing is more useful and valuable the more people you can publish to at once.

It has nothing to do with VC. "Don't pick fights with people who buy ink by the barrel" long predates vulture capitalists.
So your argument essentially boils down to: "It is only easier to read when developers write correct HTML." That isn't as "gotcha" of a rebuttal as you think it is.

It is easier to read in the common case. That's more than enough.

PS - Also a lot of IDEs will flag <picture /> with "missing closing tag" or similar.

I believe it's really the outcome of capitalism and greed taking something that was organic (forums and chat) and monetizing it to death. Facebook monetized your family and friends, Instagram monetized your vanity / creativity, etc.

Seems the main summary is "housing costs." Makes a ton of sense with the backdrop of work from home policies that places were exploring during the pandemic.

I am curious on heating/cooling costs on the homes. Article calls out the size differences, but bigger is usually more expensive to maintain. I suppose it depends what part of CA you are moving from?

And good luck to all the locals that may be getting priced out of homes now. My understanding is folks moving out of CA generally have an absurd amount of buying power, and aren't nearly as intimidated by high costs. I'm curious how much of that is accurate, versus "sour grapes" in other areas.

What good is this sort of binary differentiation? Someone like Zuckerberg would technically be working class because he worked for his money, despite his negative effects on the world.

People move between income sources...
I can't find evidence of that. From the NBC article, which calls the original request one asking for "pre-enforcement review":

> Smith sued in 2016 saying she wanted to design wedding websites but was concerned that the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act would force her to put together websites for same-sex weddings, as well. She said she wanted to post a statement on her website making clear her opposition to doing so.

The claim about the email is in a later filing as an update. Its existence doesn't seem to be in question; its provenance does, but that could happen without the plaintiff's involvement. You'd have to prove they knew it was bullshit.
I mean, I don't agree with the top level comment here, but this isn't a reverse-free-speech issue. Courts are absolutely free to restrain what public officials can say.

E.g., a regulator cannot say "if you don't burn this book, we'll tax you out of existence" while a person could say "if you don't burn this book, I'll vote to have you taxed out of existence"
From what I recall the marketing for the saturn tried to make the knights game 'the new sonic' and it looked dumb.

I also remember wanting to know what a 'panzer dragoon' was but a lot of the commercials made it seem like you should already be aware and they may have just misspelled dragon.

Virtua fighter was a fine game in the arcade but none of my friends were going to buy a saturn for one game they could play at the arcade or some weird flying sonic game.

When playstation came out, battle arena toshinden felt fast and the characters looked cooler. Ridge Racer felt Way faster than Daytona the music was great and the textures blew my mind.

So even though saturn had a earlier launch the Playstation came to the party with more to offer.
Time for phones to have a solid-state switch for microphones and cameras.
One obvious problem that I see with this approach is that it will break if there is any change in the storage format.

With client-server architecture, the server code owns the data format, while in this storage-level remote access case, you have to ensure that all of your clients are updated simultaneously. Depending on your architecture it might or might not be feasible.
My confidence in the accuracy of this article diminished once I read this bit:

> As such, it is only suitable if the expected final tally is reasonably small (e.g. less than 2^32, or about 4.3 million votes).
All good ideas for general opsec, however the last one is moot if you're connecting to cell networks - tower connection and triangulation data is not local to your phone and is already relatively easy for police to access with a warrant.
There was no ban. The links from the “Twitter files” they the WH asked to be removed were all dick pics (you can confirm this via archive.org) which were a violation of the Twitter TOS.
> The only way you know that <input /> is acceptable and <div /> isn't, is learning and remembering which elements self-close. It sucks, but that's the way it is.

People remember which elements self-close by repeatedly seeing them written as self-closing tags. So while it indeed makes no difference from the browser standpoint whether you're closing your self-closing tag or not, it can be valuable to beginners.
> Like I said, if the model gets worse OpenAI can simply not release a new version.

So now it's got great information about the Model T Ford but knows nothing about our new mars colony?

I don't think "just don't update the model" is a likely option.

A Pixel phone probably gives you the best chance of resisting this sort of attack. The most vulnerable phones are the older, cheaper phones that run outdated versions of Android. Pixel phones are generally the first to get security updates, and so the quickest to get patches when spyware companies start using new bugs.
I haven't seen it mentioned yet, so does anybody have experience comparing Phaser with Godot (for 2d games)?
NYI. Good people.
I assume someone running a very successful lifestyle business of this sort 1) Probably had a pretty good chance of making nothing at all or even lost money and 2) Could make more money with benefits etc. if they just took a job at a big company.

So, yes, they’ve done pretty well but they took a risk and still probably didn’t come close to maximizing comp even they had a rather good outcome.

And I just threw out the $150k number because it’s a very good outcome. Could just as easily be something a lot lower including negative.
Netgear switches? In an environment like this? I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that that is maybe a provider-owned thing, and that they have an 'enterprise' line, but, really... Netgear. The firewall brand isn’t revealed in the network diagram, but what is it, a $100 sonicwall? Should I be concerned keeping all my email, business and personal, there about what other parts of their infrastructure they are cheaping out on?

When you are running a service like this, redundancy among transit providers is the most basic, table-stakes thing you can do. It's almost negligent to not have that.
Using Gitlab Runner on Kubernetes at Outschool
The linked article and the source for that data (https://news.gallup.com/poll/180911/holidays-weekends-americ...) both specify July 19.

> Certain weekend days, particularly Saturday, July 19 (63%), also ranked among the happiest for Americans in 2014.

Could be a mistake on both ends though. But June 19, 2014 was not a Saturday (it was for July 19 though) nor do I believe many businesses or localities were allowing employees a holiday on Juneteenth in 2014.
Just stop carrying your phone. Problem solved.
SerialEM: Control Electron Microscopes
Dear HN, I wanted to submit one of the coolest open source projects I've ever seen - SerialEM. SerialEM is used to drive transmission electron microscopes, an their cameras. Electron microscopes are used in materials analysis, semiconductor analysis, and biological imaging of proteins, viruses, and cells. It's an important technique and the major technique used to see things past the light diffraction limit.

I thought SerialEM would be perfect for the HN audience because electron microscopes are massively expensive, precision, almost boutique instruments, and the software from manufacturers is horrendously bad and greatly limits their usefulness. SerialEM works on almost any TEM and camera combination, which involves writing plugins and scripts and handling bugs gracefully for so many obscure things. The physics of these instruments can be quite complex, especially at angstrom to sub-angstrom resolution. Furthermore, it's written almost entirely by one person (David Mastronarde) although lately he's had help from another (Guenter Resch).

And this isn't some nice to have, hacked together in a weekend project. This is the major way that the world's biggest EM facilities drive their microscopes. It's truly a hacker project, and has had real impact, with 10 pages of articles and citations: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C27&q=ser...
I know very well what an injunction is and does. You seem to be mistaken on what “law” is. It is by no means limited to statutory text or even final judicial opinions.

The fact that contempt of court is the only real penalty available for violating this injunction is exactly why it’s harmful. Making ludicrously broad and unenforceable injunctions like this inevitably corrodes the rule of law and damages the overall system.

They cannot be serious saying that now law enforcement is better than a bad one.
The latter you can at least try to change by joining and being a good guideline on how to be.

I know that sounds idealistic... but what are the alternatives?
- A "new" police? What should make this better on second try?
- No Police? I cannot imagine what would happen with people
- A police that plays within the rules? Now i extend my argument on law people involved. They also have many bad actors and again the only chance i see is to be a good actor.

I'd be delighted to hear alternatives.

Not getting that sentiment from a slogan that says all cops are bastards. If “policing is fundamentally broken” is the statement then use that
Civil rights are a favor that can be revoked at any time. Ultimately, there are too few who stand up for them.

Today I read an article by Bernard-Henri Lévy, a liberal intellectual. He downplays police violence, order must be restored, how is not so important.
Let me add more nuance here. We are always balancing a set of constraints: total cost, speed of delivery, certainty of cost, and certainty of delivery for a given date are but four.

Agile, for example, suggests that decreasing the cost of change at the expense of certainty of cost will increase the total chances of delivery within cost and date. Outsources are (implicitly) arguing that the decrease of total costs are worth the other friction in the organization.

This all goes back to return on investment. In the most simplistic case, if I have ten people working on this task now, and this software will allow me to reduce that to six, then that's four people I don't have to pay for that task. If those four people are making $100,000 a year, and the software lasts 10 years before having to be replaced, that's 4 million dollars. The software plus maintenance needs to cost less than 4 million dollars to make sense. We all know the simplistic case.

But if I can trade $100,000 dollars in guaranteed cost for a reduction of $500,000 in risk in making that goal, I can trade cost for certainty and that's going to be a good trade. Now, as developers we know that these numbers are often fudged, but everyone realizes this is inexact and just the best we all can do. We need to know how to think about these in terms of arguing against bad investments and steer toward good investments by knowing how the tradeoffs works.

Then use that other device for the auth flow? I'm not surprised by that, but am surprised by your implication that it would still involve your phone.
Yep. For the founders in particular though, who had the most influence early on in taking the VC path, odds are they took some money out along the way, perhaps quite a bit more than had they stayed small.
I think the George Floyd/BLM movement has already largely failed, despite all the attention it got in 2020 and the amount of donations given to BLM and related causes - at least $10 billion.[0] Besides Juneteenth, what are the actual long-term effects of the movement in terms of material benefits for BIPOC people? DEI and ESG got a lot more popular, but that was always for the benefit of the consciousnesses of (largely white) PMC progressives, along with the relatively small number of minority employees hired as a result. Even those are getting rolled back in the face of economic headwinds, conservative counterattacks, and the Supreme Court striking down affirmative action, with an opinion whose logic can easily extend to affirmative action by private employers.

It is 'firing on all cylinders', but a lot of people also got a pay cut either from pay cut to avoid being laid-off or being laid-off and hired by smaller companies (smaller pay). Meanwhile, salary/bonus for CEO increased.
No only the paycheck got smaller, but also prices for literally everything went up by at least 20% (milk, bread, eggs, meat, etc.)
The good side is that smaller companies are hiring, because a lot of people are hurting.
> Religion is just as much a choice as an occupation.

That is a bit tricky.

Religion is definitely a choice if you're enough willing to make a choice, but most people just keep their parent's religion. People just believe what they were taught as children.

I'm atheist from atheist country so I don't necessarily get it, but it seems to be that way - see ratios of Muslim and Christians in Saudi Arabia versus Europe, for example.

Then there's more tricky cases where religion and ethnicity are heavily correlated or tied in even stronger way (e.g. Jews).
> Stop trying to make social networks succeed, stop dreaming of a universal network. Instead, invest in your own communities. Help them make long-term, custom and sustainable solutions. Try to achieve small and local successes instead of pursuing an imaginary universal one. It will make you happier.

I appreciate the realist point of view in this paragraph and the two that precede it.

I’d like to go a step further and propose that we should deemphasize the explicit desire to develop communities online for what feels like the sake of having an online community. Online communities should be derivatives of offline identities, roles, interests etc, more often than not. But as more people seem to find “themselves” in a digital landscape that isn’t inherently social as much as it is social under certain contexts, the lines are being blurred, or disregarded entirely.

I used to be indifferent to federated networks, but I now understand the appeal of them when it comes down to being able to engage with predefined communities.

There is a lot to be said about the number one issue that newcomers confront being “which instance do I join?”.
co-founder of podcast hosting platform says why you need a podcast...
The framing is not odd at all. Your framing makes it sound as if this was some requirement that had been known since the beginning rather than the typical "Good news! For our own corporate reasons we have decided to make your life better by jumping to the top of your todo list and breaking your things!" Thanks, I hate it.

To be clear it is trivial to thwart the check, but shared library shims can't fix the real problem which is pointless corporate contempt. Particularly if I'm paying for it.
I prefer not to write HTML, but have it generated by an eDSL. Elm has Html, Kotlin has kotlinx.html, but there are many more. Nice ones are generated from the W3C html spec (as XML), kotlinx.html does this for instance.

This way HTML is "just code", I can put break points in, it allows for some type-safety and lets me use IDE tooling to refactor/etc.
Why is it irrational to have time off at the same time as your friends and family?
Linguistically dozens of cases is vague less then 200 and definitively less then 1000, because then it would be hundreds of cases.

Through there is no legal requirement for the statement to be true in any form or way. Even if they would have explicitly said less then 50 cases, it's not a constraint in the law, so it's meaningless.

Through see my other comment for why even if that statement is fully true in a linguistic sense it still is very bad.
> gatekeep-y the people that run/maintain that site can be

I think it is just because people are getting old and tastes stop changing after a certain age.

I'm getting up there in age and I think my taste in music ended somewhere in the mid-2000s. Everything past that point sounds like screamo, djent, Hatebreed copy cats, or screechy noise core.
>There are so many good metal sub-genres, who are they to draw a line?

They explicitly state they are not the ultimate arbiters of what is and isn't metal, but they have a mission for the site and have to draw the line somewhere, and that's what they picked.

But as for who they are to draw the line... they're the team that has built one of the largest and most informative databases of metal acts of all time. It's incomplete, it's arbitrary, it's subjective and biased, but even with all of that, it's indisputably something they should be monumentally proud of building.
The author mixes services such as Whatsapp and telegram which are mostly messaging apps with "social network" features, and full blown social networks that revolve more around posts, followers and content.

Meta launched a new platform today and got 10M people to sign up in the first 7 hours.

I am lost for words. Not sure how anyone still wants anything to do with Meta. How can you possibly want more social platforms by Meta. Meta couldn't die fast enough in my opinion.

And yet, millions of people signed up. I guess social networks can still succeed.
