Saying "savings" is wrong, it's not what is reported. It's "saving". "Savings" implies the total sum people have saved. Saving can go down while savings is going up. I could have started 2021 with 0, save $100 in 2021, $50 in 2022. Savings going up, saving going down. You can see the confusion caused below by mis-stating what was reported.

It's quite a bit different because tech people can go somewhere else. There won't ever be anything like an industry-wide union. I also have a hard time imagining what kind of tech company could survive a months long shutdown.
Does it matter? It didn't stop Trump from creating Truth.social, did it?

Why couldn't other right-wing influencers get together and do something similar? Perhaps because there never was actual censorship?

Perhaps they just attracted more suckers to support them by bitching and moaning about "censorship" and "deplatforming" than if they went on and actually took control of their own social media presence.
The application is so misunderstood that I called them billing codes, when these are in fact diagnosis codes. They exist primarily to simplify records transfer when you go to a new clinic/hospital/doctor/whatever, and secondarily to allow the NIH to track how a given health risk develops over time.
> DigitalOcean made some missteps recently with massive cuts to their community team (technical writing group)

This team, as a consumer, was top-notch. That being said, it's hard to make content-based justify its cost. If DO revenues were 2-3X what they are now, I bet they'd keep this great team (from an output perspective) in tact.

That's exactly the reason I was thinking they may choose to be selective. From what I understand, it's pretty normal for servers to refuse to federate with other servers. I don't know if they do this transitively, but if so, then the Dutch government might find itself forced to choose which side to take.

If people chose things according to what is better, marketing would not exist.
Not really sure why this stands out to so many people. I believe the percentage of programmers who are women is something like 5-8%. Even being kind of generous, out of 12 people that would still not make an entire person.

Demographics might differ for AI researchers or other STEM fields adjacent but in general it seems odd to be surprised when it's literally how things have been for at least decades.

Not saying this is a good thing, that I know why it is like this, or what should be done if anything, I have no idea. But why act surprised? The gender ratio is super off balance for a lot of jobs. My career isn't that long but across four jobs, as far as I can remember, the ratio has remained about as skewed as publicly available metrics suggest it would be, not that I personally pay all that much attention.
Yeah but the x.com domain still doesn't have any info on it as one would expect from a marketing page.
It seems plausible that this is just families going to the movies and then choosing to see different ones?
>I don't want Apple to impose their agenda on me and act like they own the relationship between me and my users.

That will be solved if/when they need to allow alternate App stores. But even then, The App store is Apple's own store, right? They make their own rules on what's allowed or no on their store.

I have no issues with them controlling their store (as an android user, Google does the same despite having much less care). I'm just glad they are seemingly being forced to open up for stores that want different rules.
When I do this I always preface it with, "hey here is an example of what you could send... feel free to copy-pasta or ask in whatever way you want". That way it isn't as icky feeling.

A widely-held stance is that lobbying needs to be a lot more illegal than it is, but the people who have the power to make it illegal are also the people who benefit from it. Nevertheless many of us random people who don't work in government would love to see this stuff made illegal.
Some of my best friends decided to quit certain platforms like Facebook and yes, Whatsapp too (two people). I definitely understood. I even have signal and telegram installed. But I never remember to check them. It's just not practical.
I mean the UX is terrible. If they used Win95-style controls it would be much more playable.
> UBI is a bane because it kills meritocracy. The reason most people are successful is because they risk a lot if they weren’t

This seems kinda backwards - UBI gives people the ability to take more risks. Success is mostly determined by how many bets you're able to make, and UBI lets people place more bets. There's plenty of people that would want to start a business but don't have parents able to loan or gift them the money. You'd be opening up more possibilities for people, and people naturally want to do useful things. I'm not sure what hard jobs you're imagining but anything valued by society will still get done because people want to see themselves as valuable.

I think the confusion here is because you have a false premise that there is a meritocracy now - UBI is something that could help us get towards a meritocracy. Right now it doesn't matter how good you would be at something if you can't afford to do it
My point is that all these companies over the years made grand proclamations until they hit the hard reality that manufacturing in space is either not feasible, not economic, not possible or too complicated. I am skeptical at this point.

Yeah, similar situation with:

- My brother who is a writer while his wife works at an industrial job that pays exceedingly well

- My friend who is an artist, whose husband owns an engineering firm with big medical device contracts

- My other friend who is a nature photographer, whose husband works in tech

- Yet another friend who is a musician, whose wife works in tech

- Another friend who runs a dog shelter, whose husband is a high paid engineer

- My other friend who is a writer, whose girlfriend is a real estate investment manager at a large bank

- My friend who is a social worker helping at-risk youth, whose husband is an oil and gas executive

- And yet another friend who makes jewelry and sews bags, whose wife owns an investment management firm

- Finally, a friend who volunteers to catalogue deer populations for conservation, whose boyfriend just happens to be a big wig executive for the city

I could go on, I see this phenomenon everywhere. There are no free lunches in life, someone is always footing the bill... just follow the money.

Totally agree. The craft beer industry needs to stop with all this IPA nonsense. It’s absurd how hard it is to find anything but yet another weird IPA.

If the craft beer industry is shrinking, this is one large component. Stop with the nonstop IPA’s. There is way more beers than just IPA’s.
As of my involvement in high end HFT firms a few years ago no one was yet doing ASICS and the state of the art was FPGA. I would say people have a mythology about HFT that’s both deserved and overblown. They tend to be very sophisticated in many ways, but also surprisingly immature. Likely because they’re so private and insular, and grew up very non traditionally. They’re often also long term participants so their stacks are fairly aged at this point. Most of their advantage is the barrier to entry is high.
Agreed there, I've seen horrible reliability on (micro)SD cards for these little project boards. For RPi, usually use SSD over USB for primary boot, there are some nice case options for this, if you don't mind the space.

Over the pandemic, started using more of the mini intel boxes in the sub-$300 space, just because of availability and price gouging.
They've even got a disclosure on the front page.

> We are a separate company from X Corp, but will work closely with X (Twitter), Tesla, and other companies to make progress towards our mission.

That is nonsence. On various distributions, packages are just packed stuff rom the vendor site.

Package manager has little to do with security, unless you count hash checking as one. Its about automation.

Besides, windows has multiple good package managers sine long time ago.

BTW, to demonstrate the invalidness of the argument, you don't have to look further then nvm package manager...
As a contractor, based in Berlin, I also noticed that since the end of last year the market slowed down.
Do you understand that these boards are the size of a credit card? Those mini PCs are far larger than these. I can take a Raspberry Pi and stick it inside a picture frame, for instance. I actually built an e-reader using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. Even a full size Raspberry Pi would have fit in the case...an x86 'mini-PC' would not. Sure, I could probably get something x86 that would, but I'd have to spend a ton of money (like hundreds of thousands or millions)
If you're on a non-standard architecture, you're absolutely doing a lot of #5.

For that matter, I build my own Firefox even though Fedora offers a package because I like the concept of doing so, I can submit fixes, and I can do local optimizations. It's a lot of work but it's hardly infeasible.
There's no way UBI will become the norm. I'm certainly not willing to pay higher taxes so that other people can pursue their passions. They can get a job like the rest of us.

I'm one of the co-founders at TableFlow. At our last company, we spent a ridiculous amount of time updating and debugging the CSV import functionality to handle seemingly endless edge cases. Our goal with TableFlow is to tackle as many of the challenges as possible, so that engineering teams can focus on building their own product.

We're proudly open-source and aim to be the most developer-friendly option in the market. We'd love to hear any feedback or ideas from others who have experienced pains related to data import.

Yes! I would say 90% of the useful stuff I find on the web is this sort of site.
I don't really care for this argument. We are currently not living in a meritocracy.

In a true meritocracy everyone must have the same starting point and rise up within the ranks based on their merits from there. In our society we do not all start at the same place. There are people born into wealth and people born into poverty. So some people have to struggle harder to get to the same place as others where born into. Essentially an anti-meritocracy system.

If anything UBIs will help make the system more meritocratic since the ones the bottom no longer need to climb the first hill.

The idea that in the absence of Anchor we will be at a loss for "soul" breweries is somewhat hilarious. Over my 40+ years of life the number of breweries in America has exploded 100-fold. In San Francisco and the immediate area craft breweries are almost a menace. There must be 5000 of them in California. If you insist that your beer be sourced from your immediate political jurisdiction, you could get beer from Fort Point Beer Co, a large and successful independent with statewide distribution.
I would note afaik aquatic isn’t HFT per se but quant trading.
Average windows user does a websearch for software and very often finds not the first-party website operated by the developer, but instead finds websites like sourceforge, cnet, softpedia, etc. Downloading sketchy freeware from third parties is Windows culture. This culture is encouraged by Microsoft not vetting and packaging free software themselves like Linux distros do.

Social media should not be exclusively about views, it should be about finding people with common interests to improve your skills and knowledge in that topic and perhaps one day do stuff in the real world with the circle of people who have your same common interest.

Twitter has always been a boxing ring more than a townsquare, and even more since Musk acquisition.

If that is the state of affairs I'd rather step in a real ring, win or lose you'll feel something more intense than winning/losing an argument on Twitter.
> If someone replaced some songs in your playlists, you would notice.

I don't think this is true.

In the Spotify world, people have playlists where the songs sound similar to a certain song or band, rather than a hand curated one.
All of those options have Windows analogues though. Windows users can spin a VM, run procmon, and even have access to text editors.
They don't mention /u/Cant_Trust_Hillary on Reddit who said in an AMA that they were paid to be a serial poster under that username.

Ask HN: What happened to Apples “rapid response” security updates
During the past two days, Apple has released updates 16.5.1a to iOS and macos, ostensibly fixing zero-days that have been exploited and/or observed in the wild. [1]

Then they pulled them, referencing "breaking changes" to Safari, as rumors say, because of the User agent string.

So if the problem really was the version number string, that should be easy to fix by increasing the version number instead of appending "a" to it.

However, this might not be the full story...?

Currently there seems to be no simple way to obtain the updates. But when announced, they were ostensibly fixing serious zero-click RCE vulnerabilites.

I couldn't find any official communication regarding this, so..?

> why would increasing the strength of gravity in your simulation, imply necessarily changing your discritization scale?

Changing acceleration values in physics simulations often requires you to modify the rate at which you check for overlap collisions. Could be related to the minimum distance an object can move i.e. the largest step it can take
I think this won't help because money for developers is not what holding things back. Developers in Canada seem to have plenty of money, but they are restricted by approvals and construction capacity in building more. Developers will always charge market rate (which is now like 2000$/sqft) for their new buildings since they want to maximize their profits. Their cost do not play any role in what they are charging.

Maybe it would help if these loans would help to get new developers and builders into the game. But if those need to hire the same builders, it's questionable whether there is more build capacity in the end.
haha yes! What mentioned about analogies... I must use like 50 analogies a day. I also noticed I can use phrases like "always" and "never" and I can say them without a second of hesitation, because they are merely indications of magnitude in a predictive sense, not a literal interpretation. But to someone who must understand information deeply, they never use phrases like that because they operate based on observed knowledge and sort of "hypothesis testing" like a scientist.

It's fun to realize other people are out there who can relate. Thanks for your comment
> It’s all about trade-offs.

It's true that in our limited lifespans we will always have to choose trade-offs, but the current choice between crushing poverty vs crushing workload is not a natural one; it's contrived. most of us should be working fewer hours in the modern economy and have more leisure/creativity time.

personally, I've made it my goal as a SWE to get a 4-day work week and/or shorter work days. even if it means a pay tradeoff. maybe I'd even get back to coding fun things.
1. "How so?" UBI doesn't mean you can't earn more, this is not communism.

2. "what would be the motivating factor" They don't, UBI is not communism. And what you say is already true at many places, and the world is still turning. The motivating factor, with UBI, is the same without it: to achieve more. UBI would just let you not fall into homelessness and / or under the poverty threshold.
Maybe they could skip the monologue then? Just a thought.
Grew up in PA and love seeing Yingers blow up, but I bet their success is largely due to the same reason we loved them back in the early 2000s: they brew a tasty no-frills lager at a good price.

Seems a lot of the brewing industry chased fads for 20 years.

> Spots are limited, but it's not super hard.

This depends on the instrument and your location. If you play a popular instrument (say the violin) in a metro area with just one orchestra (some have zero!) then you ain't getting on that orchestra any way short of nepotism. If you live within commuting distance of multiple orchestras, there are more spots, but you still aren't going to be playing violin in the orchestra, and it's even possible that nepotism won't help you.

are the researchers allowed to disagree with Musk? if the supposedly-objective AI they produce contradicts Musk's views, will he accept that he's wrong? or will he call it a bug, or pressure his researchers into training it to support his ideologies?

in short: do you really believe this is Musk producing an objective truth-aligned AI and not just a Musk-aligned AI?
That's a very romanticized Michael Crichton experts-of-various-fields-get-together-to-solve-a-problem like scenario, but in reality, when you're an AI company and you have 12 people, you kinda need them to handle the AI basics first.

If a wealthy tax paying parent is votes against taxes to support programs like offering free lunches to children in schools, so their children can have a 'better' education, then I think that is wrong.

I went to a wealthy private high school. 15 years later, most of the children from wealthy parents didn't amount to much. The top 50% work a high level role at their parent's company (probably taking the job from someone more skilled). At worst, they are still supported by their parents in their 30s, career-less. Only the top 5% multiplied their parent's wealth.

The money spent on private education could have been used to support low-income students, which would reduce crime and create a more powerful middle-class.
Catastrophic flooding swamped Vermont’s capital as storms forced evacuations
Hannie Schaft is definitely not overlooked, at least, not in the Netherlands. We have lots of stories about her life and streets named after her as well as a monument. She almost made it through the war, but was executed after being arrested.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannie_Schaft

There are many other Dutch resistance fighters whose stories will never be told, they're dead and there is nobody alive anymore that still remembers them or their significance. Many of them found their end in the dunes executed by the German occupiers of the country, giving their lives for doing what's right: to defend your country from an attacker, even after the country had formally capitulated. And there ware also many who resisted the Germans in much harder to conceal - but no less effective - ways, such as the factory workers that were conscripted from the able bodied to work in munition, vehicle or aircraft factories and who sabotaged the lines and the products. All this right under the noses of the German overseers.

I know a few such stories and am still quite impressed, even so many years after hearing them first, with the degree of risk that people were willing to take just to slow the machine a tiny little bit. Towards the end of the war even the slightest (perceived) infraction was enough to get a bullet to the neck and yet they continued doing it.
