The intriguing thing here was that I had warned the person offering me the job that I didn't have a degree. He said something like "don't worry, we just put the degree requirement in the job advertisement to appease HR" and seemed very confident that it wouldn't be an issue. Later, he said it wasn't possible specifically because of the British HR, whose hard requirements he didn't know of.

Since I have no reason to think that he might have changed his mind on me or something like that, it really does sound like the UK department were stricter in this case. That said, I can understand how it probably looked from their perspective - they would have had no reason to trust the recommendation of a manager from another department (from another country no less!) without any paper qualifications to go on.
"Adolescent mothers (aged 10–19 years) face higher risks of eclampsia, puerperal endometritis and systemic infections than women aged 20–24 years, and babies of adolescent mothers face higher risks of low birth weight, preterm birth and severe neonatal condition."

Women are not designed for childbirth in their teens. Bodies keep changing a long time post the onset of puberty, into the late teens and early twenties. But dream on if you want to, dude. I'm sure increasing the risk of eclampsia will help the birth rate, nevermind the fact there's a lot more reasons people are having less kids.

I'd argue that your proposed fixes merely bolster my original point; not implementing notifications in the first place is a sufficiently positive influence that it negates the need for things like user blocks.

> whether it matters if a dye is water- or oil-soluble

"Dyes are water soluble, and will not mix with oils."

> what the difference is between a dye and a lake

"Lakes are produced by coloring an aluminum salt... substrate using FD&C dyes."

So a dye is soluble material; lakes are an insoluble material colored with dyes.

> tinting by dispersion is

Lakes disperse in the liquid; dyes dissolve into it. Presumably if you're interested in actually using dyes, this is a distinction you're already familiar with.

> why I should care about "dye load"

"Remember: in general, the higher the dye load, the less you'll need to achieve the color you're going for. Don't make the mistake of comparing a 70% dye load product to one with a 90% dye load."

> It’s important to realise this isn’t a customer-side issue; they shouldn’t have to consider the impact of every configuration option we choose to put in front of them. They don’t have the full context and knowledge, and expecting them to be experts in the nitty gritty of Canarytoken discoverability

Yes!

> Going forward, we will show multiple examples of prefixes. A user looking to add a custom domain will see a variety of example zones when they visit the page, and the examples will cycle each time they open the configuration page. We want to convey that they have options in choosing the name, and we show them a variety of sample options. Our hope is that this will prompt customers to pick their own names, and if they do rely on our examples then those are now spread over a large list of examples.

No! They were so close and yet it sounds like they've still missed the point. The issue is that users don't understand the "why" behind the prefix. Just randomizing the prefix that they're shown does nothing to change that.

IMO, a better solution would be.
1. The shortest possible explanation under the field of why you shouldn't use "someprefix".
2. Prevent users from using "someprefix" as the prefix and show them the warning again. By eliminating the default option as an option, you force your users to leave auto-pilot mode and actually consider their choice.

I think the biggest issue you’re going to run into is that the Department of Defense acquisitions process is incredibly complicated and favors large incumbents that specialize in government contracts. It can be very lucrative once you get your foot in the door, but be prepared for lots of government red tape and lengthy timelines from your custumers before the first check clears.

Oh and if you can find a minority, disabled, female military veteran to “own” your company at least on paper it will give you an enormous advantage, as the laws require the military to preference such companies when purchasing.

Not off domain registration, clearly. It's a loss-leader and gets you in their product. Significantly cheaper than any of the "low cost" registrars I've seen for `.net` and I already used them for DNS anyway.
Ask HN: Startup Accelerator for Bootstrappers
Most of the startup accelerators I've seen are focused on getting a funding round. Are there any that emphasize the rest of what a founder should be doing (PMF, networking, ?)? I see lots of advantages to going through an accelerator program, especially the networking aspect of being in a cohort, but there are many people that don't have funding as a focus.

While vendors often hide their radio stack in encrypted binary blobs that you load into the "radio half" of their chips having a stack like this where you can look at the parts of the signal is really useful for debugging your own stack.

Yeah I see chronic inflammation as a sign someone isn't particularly disciplined when it comes to diet or exercise.

The numbers of app installs for popular software available from flathub.org but sure you can use the number of supported distros as an easy base. Including Ubuntu with a few workarounds.

Yes until Ubuntu's Snapcraft store provide download numbers. I can almost swear they used to provide this sometime back but can't see anything like that now.

I actually think going the tokenization route is a good idea. As a positive side effect of the cryptocurrency boom, a lot of good research on POW/POS secured distributed systems was done and it would be a waste to not at least consider using this research.

As long as you hide the details in the depths of documentation of the protocol, make up alternative terms to those that have been tainted by cryptobros and don't mention any relation to cryptocurrency-originated technology, you would probably successfully avoid having parallels drawn between your project and cryptocurrencies.

Sure, someone might cobble together an API and put your token on a cryptocurrency exchange against your best wishes, but I think the risk of that is low. It's easy enough to launch your own crypto and if I'm looking to run a pump and dump scheme, why attach myself to a project that openly distances itself from the crypto scene?
History tells us that both the doomers and naysayers are probably wrong.

It seems to be pretty solidly demonstrated now to have some limited efficacy across a broad range of areas today, and is very effective in some niches (like the articles mention of producing SEO fodder cheaply).

Growth from that state though? The only thing you can bank on is that nobody really knows.
Wages are just the price of labor. Our currency is worth less, so employees are demanding more in dollar terms for their labor.

I feel like people misunderstand/misrepresent what the fed officials say about the relationship between wages and inflation. The Fed doesn’t want to create unemployment or directly reduce wages. The ideal scenario is to curb inflation while keeping unemployment as low as possible (which is at a record low atm).

Raising rates restricts the supply of credit, which makes servicing debt more difficult and usually results in layoffs. It’s not like the Fed is conspiring to keep the working class poor from a smokey back room…which I feel has become the narrative being pushed by media outlets nowadays.

Additionally there is a good chance that a different registrar would buy it up to acquire the customers and then transfer them to their system, etc.
Police corruption and abuse are real. Failures of the justice system are real. We must also acknowledge that the system often works correctly, even in high profile cases. As I write this, there is a real chance the former president will serve jail time after a fair trial. The police who murdered George Floyd are in jail, and serious reforms were enacted as a result of their misconduct. It is healthy to sniff for corruption. It isn't healthy to smell it before it is there.

Those charts show real wages, not nominal wages. "Real" in economics means "after taking inflation into account".

A year showing any growth in real terms is a nominal growth that is higher than inflation.
This reminds me of the association between tetanus and rusty nails.

I know all the issues but if you own 1,000 domains you're just sitting on, that 1,001th you're trying to snatch should be more expensive

Hoarding domains for ransom shouldn't be a business model

I guess another model is you could regulate the transfer and selling of domains to a certain cap. If the most you can legally get is say $5000, then people wouldn't collect and squat in such giant volumes

They had students use screen tracking software to log what apps they were using. The researchers ignored TikTok because it wasn't included in some pre-existing methodology they were following.

Nobody made this claim.
Amazing, thanks!

A GL implementation for RiscOS in 1995 (presumably as a RM?) would have been curious. My recollection of the Acorn Worlds was that a huge proportion of Acorn staff seemed more interested in running NetBSD than RiscOS itself, and I couldn't help thinking they knew something we didn't.
Some of this is also a question of "do you want to take the risk of having an indelible black mark in your travel history?"

As an example, the US asks for your travel history (where you went and why) and a list of your social media accounts. It would be trivial to correlate a conference related social media post with a stated reason of tourism and flat that.

They might not do this, but I certainly would not want to jeopardise all future travel for that if.
We have a fair bit of code in production that was written over 20 years ago. It just works. It has gone through strings switching from 8-bit to Unicode (16-bit) with hardly any modification.

(replying to myself because it’s too late to edit)

I just wanted to add that the whole experience was massively stressful and gave me much greater awareness of the challenges faced by people who can’t cross borders easily. I was given the 24 ultimatum when I arrived in Canada which was late on Sunday afternoon UK time. Luckily I had the mobile number of a very dynamic departmental director who was staggered that corporate had totally misunderstood the circumstances of my trip. He kicked some ass to make things happen and I was home and dry, although I didn’t know it at the time. My customers (the Canadian Army, bless them) were also very understanding and put up with my slightly ragged sleep-deprived performance resulting from lengthy phone calls to corporate lawyers in the middle of the night, Canadian time. They introduced me to a senior military stakeholder I had to brief as the ‘criminal software architect’ which was actually a superb icebreaker.

But my heart goes out to people who don’t have this sort of support.
So let me get this straight: the newspaper was investigating a liquor license request and using public records found the applicant had DUI arrests. The newspaper handed over this information to the police without publishing it. The police responded by alleging some kind of crime related to this request, signing an affidavit to that effect.

The judge who approved the search warrant is Magistrate Judge Laura Viar. Plot twist: that judge herself has 2 DUI arrests [1].

My first question when I heard about this raid was "what judge signed off on the search warrant and what were they told?" You can read the affidavit [2], which has since been withdrawn.

Any investigation should look at the judge who signed off on conducting a search of a newspaper, for which the bar should be extremely high.

a german airbnb clone got $90 million of funding

Still better - I pitched with a European pre-AirBNB AirBNB site in 2009 in London. It was called HouseTrip[0]. It was sold to TripAdvisor and the founders did well. There were also similar networks in many countries including Australia, though I can't recall names. And more casual networks like warmshowers and some other cycle-focused ones. However, somehow the mega-capital that goes with a US raise drowned out all of the established networks and replaced them with one brand globally - AirBNB. The model was established, IMHO the main thing AirBNB did was raise. This is the major superpower of the US. Capital.
