So your question is "why should poor people have to pay UPS drivers a decent wage?" Which I predict you would argue that you think this is too much money/healthcare/retirement for a delivery driver.

My guess is that mcaptcha reduces energy consumption by an order of magnitude when compared with recaptcha. But could be wrong of course. It also saves human productivity.

I'll plug the Ultimate 64 (https://ultimate64.com/Ultimate-64-Elite) — it's a hardware-emulated C64 that you place inside your breadbin case. It works unbelievably well and is a great modern replacement with a lot of convenience added. For example, you don't have to deal with weird PSUs (12V runs it just fine), you get a HDMI output with sound (can be from a real SID!), and the HDMI out has no delay. That's a big deal: all the emulators normally use framebuffers, so you get a delay, none of the games were built for it.

What I find great is that you can plug in a USB stick with all the C64 games ever made and just load them quickly up using the Ultimate 64 built-in software.

I have both "real" C64s and the Ultimate 64, but I only use the Ultimate these days. It's just easier.
Holy crap! I'm switching jobs! I hate technology and I want to work outside, this amount of pay seems crazy but if it's true I'm definitely becoming a driver
Qalculate has a plain text repl (qalc), as well. And, as far as I know, all the other things you mention. Speedcrunch might be awesome for all I know (never tried it), but your comment does not really shed any light on why one would pick it over qalculate (what does "lighter-weight" mean? It's not like qalculate takes minutes to start up or is hard to use).
Volkswagen's research budget was $21 billion in 2022. $10.5bn is nothing in the big picture, and certainly not enough to "control the world" or whatever grand claims are commonly made about the NSA.

Unfortunately, SPACs are legal (so far) because they are a Frankenstein's monster made of legal body parts.

There's nothing illegal about creating a public company, no matter how stupid it is, if your finances are above broad. Financially, SPACs are as simple as a public company gets: practically take people's money and hold them in a big pot.

There's also nothing illegal about a public company acquiring or merging with a private one, although I believe this is the Achilles' heel of our current legal system: mergers generally don't require the same level of minute disclosures an IPO does.

Clearly, this is a regulatory arbitrage, just like a lot of our "innovations" in the past decade, fueled by a near zero interest rate. The way to move forward would be to take another look at our regulation and close the arbitrage. Otherwise, next time there's a low interest rate environment, I can guarantee you there will be another garbage SPAC boom.
There is nothing difficult in building and releasing a product.

But if you don't have any paying clients when you do, you will have spent your time very unwise.

From there on you can either expect to close shop or get very very lucky.

If you get very very lucky you will most likely need to redo most of what you already did.

Building a product is not a marathon. It must be surgical precision work which in most cases will only cater to few, unless you made exactly what the lot wants.

Build slow and sell before you build.

By far the most software is either useless or too bloated for its price tag.

But that's not really what you asked for.

Dont build for scale.

Make one human pay for what you have. That's your first assignment. From there try again.

> the quality of search results is often terrible

Having used a few, I agree there's room for improvement.

> the assumption that complexity of layout and density of information, much less relevance, are mutual opposites isn't valid

I agree, but has anyone claimed that there is a correlation between a page's complexity and the quality of its information?

My experience has been that the folks who willingly disable javascript, use niche minimalist search engines and browsers, or otherwise prioritize a minimal ("smol") web experience are acutely aware that they are making a tradeoff. They sacrifice access to a significant fraction of the overall web including many high quality pages in exchange for a user experience they prefer.

Like many who have tried it, I found the experience too limiting, but I appreciate what they're doing. If nothing else, their efforts are making the web better for people who rely on accessibility technology and are forced to make such tradeoffs.
Hi! I'm Lexi, I wrote this article/mini-book.

There's a classic question of "what happens when you load a website?", but I've always been more interested in "what happens when you run a program?". About 3 months ago, I was really annoyed at myself for not knowing how to answer that question so I decided to teach myself.

I taught myself everything else I know in programming, so this should be easy, right? NOPE! Apparently everything online about how operating systems and CPUs work is terrible. There are, like, no resources. Everything sucks. So while I was teaching myself I realized, hey, I should make a really good resource myself. So I started taking notes on what I was learning, and ended up with a 60-page Google Doc. And then I started writing.

And while I was writing, it turned out that most of the stuff in that giant doc was wrong. And I had to do more research. And I iterated and iterated and iterated and the internet resources continued to be terrible so I needed to make the article better. Then I realized it needed diagrams and drawings, but I didn't know how to do art, so I just pulled out Figma and started experimenting. I had a Wacom tablet lying around that I won at some hackathon, so I used that to draw some things.

Now, about 3 months later, I have something I'm really proud of! I'm happy to finally share the final version of Putting the "You" in CPU, terrible illustrations and all. I built this as part of Hack Club (https://hackclub.com), which is a community of other high schoolers who love computers.

It was cool seeing some (accidental) reception on HN a couple weeks ago while this was still a WIP, I really appreciated the feedback I got. I took some time to substantially clean it up and I'm finally happy to share with the world myself.

The website is a static HTML/CSS project, I wrote everything from scratch (I'm especially proud of the navigation components).

I hope you enjoy, and I hope that this becomes a resource that anyone can use to learn!
I had the same thought. People have rightly pointed out the age bias, but there's also an implicit bias toward embellishment. People who are comfortable doing that can post lots of positive and mostly unverifiable things there.

Then again, we don't know how they evaluate this. Maybe overly positive unverifiable statements are actually negatives for them.

According to the article:
UPS "now expects its adjusted operating margin this year to be 11.8%, down from 12.8% expected in May. The drop also reflects a fall in shipments as the economy weakens."

Their shipping prices are determined by what the market will pay and their competitors prices. Employee compensation affects UPS profit/stock price.

Yeah exactly, it refuses to update itself automatically after not being updated in a while.

That's the issue in my case, why does it want me to re-download it manually, can't it do that itself?
The GDPR technically allows recourse in case of automated decisions, so you can complain to their DPO and escalate it to your country's regulator. Expect their DPO to ignore you though.

I don't think it can get more proprietary than running your code on a machine that isn't accessible to the general public.
I don't care about signalling anything to anyone. I grew up with a Commodore 64, and to me the value on a Commodore 64 is primarily nostalgia.

A connection to history is irrelevant to me. Something which triggers my nostalgia and which I enjoy using is not, and that does not require perfect accuracy (if anything, nostalgia often favours avoiding perfect accuracy on favour of avoiding nuisances)

I certainly do have no interest in "investing", no, because investment or history is not the point to me.

If I had the choice between an electric Ford T and an authentic one, I'd certainly prefer the electric one. That's be an interesting curiosity - Ford worked on one which was never launched, and his wife drove an electric car -, while an original one would be something I'd have no interest in outside a museum.
I honestly don't think it's that bad. But if one or two (for a sanity check) qualified people look at resumes and have a 30 minute conversation/technical weeding out question with a candidate, you're probably getting into diminishing returns past that. (Though you probably also lean heavily on referrals and "pedigree" given that you're not really trying to get some non-obvious signal in the interview process.)
What's the advantage of low profile sockets? Sounds convenient, but I just used pretty ordinary DIP sockets. (At least I have a puller to get chips out now though; jimmying with a flathead screwdriver never felt great.)

In terms of space, it feels like there's plenty of room in mine. I have the Perifrantic VIC-II switcher setup as well, which sockets a daughterboard with 2 VIC-IIs into the socket, and that fits surprisingly well. Though, I'd not be surprised if some models had less room to work with.
Do you mean sell as in acquisitions (someone buying the app from you where they now own it), or do you mean sell as in to individual users?
That's what people who have underpayed workers normally say.

A pay upgrade for employees firsts lowers the income of the company and that's bad for owners and investitors, not the users.

Users get higher prices way later in that game.

The title of the section, "the hateful browser", tells you the appropriate lense through which to view the entirety of the content. The reader is primed to assume bad faith everywhere.

He reenforces the view with his commentary, the disbelieving and sarcastic "okay Brendan" which further primes the reader into a bad faith view of his accomplishments and life.

It's not a rebuttal that directly addresses any of Mr Eich's points. If we assume good faith on the part of Eich's quote, then an entirely different approach to the points is warranted.
One fact many people don't realize is that in order to achieve broad-based wage growth, we will have to face GDP losses. This is because there are many businesses that depend on cheap labor to exist. As wages rise, these businesses will start to fail, reducing GDP.

We should see this scenario (wage growth with stagnant or decreasing GDP) as a healthy adaptation. The danger is that politicians will react to the bad GDP numbers with dumb new economic interventions.
While I'm not a fan of SPACs, I think this is going to far

> way for investors to dump a company with no real business model, yet, onto the unsuspecting public.

The "unsuspecting public" are people who bought a stock with full knowledge that they don't know what they'll end up owning. The "unsuspecting public" is a mischaracterization, people who invest in SPACs aren't doing so unknowingly.

SPACs aren't automatically part of the typical portfolio (like, say, the S&P 500). People who own SPACs went out of their way to buy them.

I completely agree with your other points, but we have to acknowledge that the victims of a poorly executed SPAC merger isn't your blue collar worker, it's people who sought out a highly speculative asset, and that's what a SPAC is.

"It's a mistake." OK, you could be right.

"Needs to stop." OK, you could be right on that one too. I don't think you are, but that's not the point.

Neither of those adds up to "it's currently illegal". (Whether it's actually illegal probably depends on the details of how he did what he did.)

Further, neither of those things adds up to "the howling mob should attack him until he stops". (Even if the "attacks" are purely online.) I am against "attack him with outrage dialed all the way up to 11 without actually understanding what his tool is and does". I am also against giving in to the outrage - it just shows the mob that baseless outrage attacks work.

You think it needs to stop? Fine. Persuade him that it needs to stop, and therefore that he should stop. Convince him - not with a mob screaming in outrage, but with reason.

Connecting People Directly on Hacker News – What Do You Think?
Hey there! I'm passionate about tech and entrepreneurship, and always looking for ways to learn and level up.

After many efforts, I realized that the internet is a great place to connect and share knowledge. I came across many helpful resources such as classic startup articles, insightful blogs, and self-development videos. While reading them, I realized that there were thousands of people reading them too. And in my head, the question arose: "How can I connect with them for a meaningful discussion or relationship?”

That's where Buidler comes in - a tool to directly connect individuals and communities together on a website, specifically any link, such as articles, videos, courses, forums, products... Buidler brings chat spaces to every webpage and making them more socially interactive.

I wish I was as optimistic as you. I personally think people would be too preoccupied planning the elimination of the other human species to consider animals with greater respect.

Everyone seems to be aware of the protests in Hollywood, and I don't think it's too much of a stretch to tie that to privacy issues. Those AI models taking artists' jobs were trained with data scraped from the internet. Even if you aren't an artist, there's a risk that the data these companies collect on you will be used to train an AI model that will take your job, so you shouldn't be giving it away for free.

Best guide I found

https://old.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/euud7u/how_to_prev...

I updated their blocks to cover all the IPs in the range, windows firewall rules accept CIDR notation ala 72.25.64.0/18.

All the ranges for their backend stuff I've found so far:

72.25.64.0/18
216.228.112.0/20
8.36.80.0/24
8.36.113.0/24

I leave mapping out the rest of their IP space as an exercise to the reader.

Found using `whois` against the IPs and domain from that reddit post. Their primary website appears to be on EC2, so nothing terribly useful there. I'm personally expecting companies that do this nonsense to move all their collection infra to EC2 or similar to make it harder to do simple blocks. Those that haven't already.
UPS just over 100 billion revenue and 11.55 billion NET profit.

The PSU also supplies 9V AC (this is not a mistake). The C64 is quite sensitive to over-voltage, so your switching supply might work, or it might kill it because there are voltage spikes which modern equipment doesn't care about, but the C64 will.

The PSU situation isn't great: building your own is difficult (see https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/Power_Supply), and using an old "real" PSU is risky, because they tend to produce >5V as they die, taking the C64 with them. That's why I ended up using the Ultimate 64 rather than a real C64: just supply it with 12V DC from basically anything, and it will be fine.
Eh. Binary size by itself contributes very little to an application's performance.

>Check (eg.) the Elevated 4k Demo winner to glimpse what modern computers are actually capable of in the hands of good developers.

If all software were to be built using the same techniques the demo scene uses, nothing would ever get done, and if by chance a project does get released, no one would be able to maintain it afterwards. Let's not confuse art and engineering just because both use code as the medium.

You can quibble whether or not Tesla will continue to win at the scale it has, but it definitely doesn't seem likely to go bankrupt at the speed of a $6/share SPAC-boosted EV startup. It just doesn't really bear comparison to the other EV companies out there. It is not a startup, and has been publicly traded plenty long enough. Neither does it make sense to compare it to the old-guard ICE companies, which don't yet have their sea legs.

Any company can fail (for a fairly broad definition of "fail"), given time, but there's no practical likelihood of Tesla suddenly going bankrupt in the near future.
