This is only partially true. I have many GMail accounts (I often create a new one per each service where I create an account) and went through all of them a couple of months ago to make sure that they are not deleted. All I needed was a recovery email address (to which I luckily have access) and a brand new phone number (whatever number you have access to, does not have to be associated with the account in any way).

The part that is true though is that you're out of luck if you set a recovery phone and you no longer have access to it (same for recovery email). But even then I was offered a possibility to contact support to resolve it. And if someone is desperate they may try calling the new owner of the phone number and kindly ask for the code (you'll sound like a scammer, but hey, it's worth trying ;))
I don’t suspect this is as nefarious as just stupid bureaucracy. My company has kept hiring interns immediately after laying off 10% of their staff, “to keep the funnel open”. H1Bs seem to be organized similarly; it’s a different “system” to companies and tends to be not that aligned with general hiring.

Of course, at my job I’m now surrounded by junior engineers on a very old legacy product. These juniors are very much not equipped, and struggle. I mention this will take months of training and mentoring, challenging the teams ability to execute on product in any case. It appears protecting a head count matters more than real results.

It’s saddening to watch these silly management trends take over in the industry, but, it just looks like the big companies are due for being challenged.
I would have assumed that dividing bookings per day by seconds per day is meaningless. For a given hotel in a given time zone wouldn't it be quite spiky?
I never understood the point of making sterile models. Legos, trains, or otherwise.

I want to sit there and play with them. Create elaborate worlds. Have crazy car crashes, recreate die hard, and have plane crashes and other nutty things.

The sad part is I'm in my 30s.
I was thinking about the USA in my post, but if the GDPR protects against this then that's great. I've also seen mention that in e.g. Germany the standard EULA is basically illegal (or at least unenforceable) because you can't reasonably agree to it.
Any modern car with eCall will. Some will even make you pay for it.
Because Google can unilaterally reject valid credentials if it doesn't feel it's certain it's you.

Although I can see why this would be impossible if you have a phone number set that you no longer own. I'm not sure what exactly Google would ask for if you never had a phone number set.
STEM is also totally captured by left wing ideology. It's still more accountable to reality through controlled experiments, due to its domain of inquiry being the hard sciences, so maintains more scientific rationality, but the situation is bad nonetheless.
What alternative technology do you think is better?
In other words, what is your frame of reference for labeling this "pretty terrible"?
Maybe what you describe happens with automated/integrated tools, but I doubt it.

The "manual" way to interact with booking.com from a hotel is simply to create on booking.com a list of available rooms while on the hotel side those rooms are pre-booked to booking.com (or if you prefer removed from the local list).

At any time you (the hotel) can grow or reduce the list.

As soon as booking.com gets a reservation it confirms it (to the customer), removes that room from the available rooms list and notifies the hotel of the reservation.

The hotel can then decide to leave the list "as is" or add to it one or more rooms.
Canada has very little private land ownership.The Federal Gov hoards land and creates a severe shortage of land for individuals to purchase. They need to open up the billions of acres of accessible land to 1st time buyers and then to existing property owners. Especially in the Province of Ontario.

They also intentionally keep interest rates low so existing house/property owners can leverage their properties to buy more. Never allowing a 1st time house shopper a chance. You can't save enough for a down payment because the rate that housing goes up outpaces the rate of your earnings.

In my opinion any house in the same city other than your primary residence should have property taxes that are significantly higher, perhaps 3-4 x the current rate. Interest rates for any house that is not your primary residence and considered an investment property should also be much higher. The only exception I would make is if you have cottage/recreational property outside of cities, this type of property like a cottage would fall under the Primary residence category.

There is also that fact that the majority of Canadians in the private industry, especially in Tech are severely under payed and underemployed.

I'm not sure of the unintended consequences of my proposals, but they couldn't be worse than what is happening now.
Deserve means everything in this context, because I, as an American, am discussing with my fellow Americans how our country works and the principles upon which we ought to rule ourselves.

Those principles are heavily founded in “deserve”. You are watching some infinitesimally small part of that “ruling” process.

I don't think the risk of being sent back (or lack thereof) is important for how to treat other people. To put it crudely, assholes will be assholes no matter where they come from.
FYI that was 200 years ago.
Yeah, car shopping is a slimy business, and a whole lot of things are “mandatory” “the only option” until you get up to walk away.
Consultants exist at every level. An individual will (should?) never make more than the client they serve. However, a team of consultants (like the ones who consult for global firms) can demand more than an individual can. Often times a lot more. They also take on indemnification and more risk. Last I checked, an engagement with Deloitte for anything costs $10M out the gate.

TypeScript, React, & Rust application architecture
I'm looking for some general advice and pointers to help me design the architecture for a new BIM application.

My current thoughts are to create three layers:

1. UI (React & Redux)
2. Editor (Redux)
3. Core (Rust for geometry generation, simulation etc.)

And for the Core to have a modified ECS architecture which is then interfaced with using the Editor layer, which contains for example a HistoryStack, InputHandler etc.

This is in contrast to another version, where the Core layer is also predominantly Redux which implements the ECS, and rather calls a more granular set of Rust & WASM utils and libs.

What would be the pros and cons of each? Is there some kind of `startup` tax for calling smaller functions?

Look, I'm pretty early in the process, and would appreciate just any advice, really. Have you made something similar and encountered certain pitfalls you can warn me against?

Thank you !

I thought v3 was specifically made to prevent tivoization? And that sounds like you even used the same implementation as TiVo.
I'm voting pretty useless -- I've dorked around with Llama and CodeLlama a bit, and wow, the differences between runs are pretty substantial.
GPT 4 and another LLM have given the right answer only after adding "Let's think step by step." to the original prompt.

With the simpler prompt, all the answers were wrong, most of them ridiculously wrong.
Wow, that's super cool. Almost makes me wish i did stuff on the JVM (but until someone rewrites LAPACK for it, that seems unlikely).
They’re easy enough to find if you actually look, the problem is they’re always locked. It’s as if the city thinks people only poop from 9am to 8pm.
Regulators are asleep at the wheel in the US. Companies with a overwhelming market share of search and email can and do leverage that to push users to their browser, then their browser to track users.

It's becoming about control of eyeballs and defaults in several dimensions. Lazy and captured regulators are easily convinced to scope the definition of any given 'market' in whatever way their former or soon-to-be employers demand.
Presumably the parent comment meant that their English was poor to the point where they couldn’t communicate effectively with the worker, not that the worker was getting their point across but lacking pristine grammar.

As an anecdote I’ve found that non-Americans from well off families tend to speak near grammatically perfect English because that’s how foreign languages are taught.
Define Europe, please.
> Slaves don't get paid and it isn't voluntary.

That is a very ignorant and US centric view of something that has been practiced for millennia all over the world.
An important thing here though is that it doesn't matter that the views the government was imposing were right or wrong. 1A prohibits the imposition.

The fact that the NYT article only touches on one point has turned the HN thread into a debate over if tweets about masking, vaccine cardiac side effects, or whatever were right or wrong.

But that's immaterial to the law here and it's important because there is clear polarization between posters on the underlying facts. But we don't have to agree on the substance of the censored speech to recognize that the state's use of coercion to suppress views it disagreed with is plainly unlawful. The 1A doesn't only apply when we agree with the speech being protected -- in fact it's most important when we don't: Speech almost everyone agrees with is going to get communicated no matter what the government does to censor it, it's unpopular views that are the most in need of 1A protection.

So I think NYT does us a disservice by falsely portraying this as being about 'covid misinformation', as it invites everyone to substitute a discussion about the states power to censor here with yet another debate on covid -- a debate itself which has been tainted by politics and censorship.
> I've come to the conclusion (after trying kops, kubespray, kubeadm, kubeone, GKE, EKS) that if you're looking for < 100 node cluster, docker swarm should suffice. Easier to setup, maintain and upgrade.

Personally, I'd also consider throwing Portainer in there, which gives you both a nice way to interact with the cluster, as well as things like webhooks: https://www.portainer.io/

With something like Apache, Nginx, Caddy or something else acting as your "ingress" (taking care of TLS, reverse proxy, headers, rate limits, sometimes mTLS etc.) it's a surprisingly simple setup, at least for simple architectures.

If/when you need to look past that, K3s is probably worth a look, as some other comments pointed out. Maybe some other of Rancher's offerings as well, depending on how you like to interact with clusters (the K9s tool is nice too).
In Android, at least, it defaults the checkbox to allow contact and text message sharing. You have to uncheck it before hitting connect. It's not actually an allow/deny contact sharing button. It's an extra step if and only if you want to deny. Dark pattern.
You're forgetting the adults take out their stash of blocks from the expensive models to help their own kids build whatever comes to mind phase :)

Who is to say what the borders are? Making them suit the tastes of a locale isn’t necessarily evil.
I do wish those posts allowed commenting. Would love to get clarification on the kind of role being offered, and see discussion around the company itself. Without that, they feel like an ad and draw similar amounts of interactions from me by default.
The problem isn't hypothetical. It's literally happening in front of your eyes and you cheer it on.
I killed the OnStar module in my old car by cutting a wire.

Willingness to violate manufacturer warranty is the #1 barrier. If you don't care, there isn't much to stop you from figuring it out on your own. Angle grinder will get you into anything. Just be careful with those high voltage systems in EVs...

Yeah I would hope that we've at least moved past that.
At times I take 20 to 30mg of Manganese a day, but not for long. Do not try this at home, I know what I am doing, and I know my genetics need it.

The manganese, by reducing glutamate, lowers my blood pressure from 160/90 to 123/79. My doctors are amazed but don't care since I have had unresponsive hypertension for 10 years.
No, it's not about me at all. And never will be.

Former homemakers have issues it's nigh impossible to discuss at all anywhere. But I think that's a mistake that harms ongoing efforts to reform what work means to humans and when, where and how it can be validly performed.
They'd have to go back in time to do that if they can't get in... that's the point.
Ask HN: Are we already consuming AI generated content without knowing?
It occured to me that while I could spot in specific instances content generated from AIs, from advertisement, to media used in talks and on social networks, I might be consuming the same kind of content without realising it.

Are we already on the point that they pass as human generated content or are they still very discernible?
The keyword here is "different culture". There is no slippery slope, it is just a (debatable) argument about letting the Japanese do it the Japanese way, even if it seems outrageous to non-Japanese.
When this comes up, I like to quote Dennis Ritchie on `noalias`: “the committee is planting timebombs that are sure to explode in people's faces”; “a license for the compiler to undertake aggressive optimizations that are completely legal by the committee's rules, but make hash of apparently safe programs”, and consequently: “[It] must go. This is non-negotiable. [...] It negates every brave promise X3J11 ever made about codifying existing practices, preserving the existing body of code, and keeping (dare I say it?) ‘the spirit of C.’”

This is what ‘undefined behavior’ turned out to be, so it's clear to me that the consequences of the definition were not understood at the time.
Well, what do you show to the rest of the world? I have seen and personally visited such places so I know about dotted lines, but its hard to not take any form of side and be truly neutral, even for google (it wasnt in places I checked).
Humans. After all, LLMs are designed to reason equal to or better than humans.
Every sprint, each engineer gets 7 story points and 3 evil points (less than 50% evil!). But if you're really ambitious, you can roll over your evil points and accrue them for a greater evil later. That's how we end up with things like privacy sandboxes and web integrity. Such launches are typically celebrated with ritualistic intern sacrifices and handlebar mustache stickers for the whole team.

The problem is that some people do not want pay toilets. They want free public toilets and would call Europe backward/racist/whatever for making people pay for toilets.
15 years ago I interviewed at Electronic Arts. They did this same thing. I wasn’t a recent college grad. I had a family to support. They offered me the job but at 60% of what I asked for. They were shocked when I told them to go eat dirt.
Not all laws are just, and not all laws are established as the will of society. A lot of laws are the product of lobbies from various industries. This was almost certainly a product of the Japanese entertainment industry, not the broader society. Two years of lost freedom seems draconian, I could see monetary damages as making sense.
I think the more salient question is WHO will have to give WHAT up if we don't stop?

I assume most HN readers work in IT with decent salaries, putting us in the 90th+ percentile globally. We'll still be drinking wine in our off-grid A/C'd homes when the rest of the world suffers.
I saw a webpage in the early 2000s that when I clicked something, it remembered the data on the next pages. Think simple counter. I checked out the site and it claimed to be using something called PHP which even free hosts of the time provided. How is this not enabling right?

I had a similar "simple counter" moment at a later date and the tech was AJAX. I am yet to have a similar moment after that. Perhaps WASM based interfaces? But it's not the same. Maybe I am not the same.

A single compiler can even seem inconsistent.

A conforming compiler is allowed to completely remove undefined behavior like this:

if((n << 64) == 0) {
println("Hi!\n");
}
if((n << 64) != 0) {
println("Hi!\n");
}

If it were implementation-defined, it would have to compile it to the equivalent of

println("Hi!\n");
Things haven't really changed all that much.
Have you tried KubeOne? Also with the benefits of machine-deployments. Works like a charm, didn’t go through your blogs, but KubeOne on Hetzner [0] seems easier than your deployment. And yes, also Open Source and German support available.

Save a copy and sell them bitmaps scaled as needed. Think recurring income.

Over time, I have grown to appreciate idiocy as a positive force of evolution. I now think it should be exploited whenever possible --- for the greater long term benefit of humanity.

Does anybody know if Mojo seriously want to be a closed-source programming language? Or is it a publicity stunt?
It only matters to the empire builders and scale bots. They are the ones who are desperate for common reality to simplify their mindless goals usually planted in their head by some other dumbass.

End of the day everyone has a 3 inch chimp brain. Its not designed for common reality.

2 brains growing in same environments, exposed to the same things through their live can turn out to have totally different beliefs. And thats just looking at my own family members.

Its like planting 2 seeds in the same soil, giving them the same sun and water dont produce the same exact number of leaves, flowers or fruits.
Citizens do not trust that the government will maintain and police them properly

This is the problem not NIMBYs, It is the correct assessment that the bathrooms will not be policed or maintained. If they were policed and maintained, no one would even notice them.

I took at the look at the SVG smilies, only GPT gets it right (https://benchmarks.llmonitor.com/svg). You can preview the SVGs drawn by the LLMs by pasting this into the browser console

node.insertAdjacentHTML('afterend', code)
})

Because it is backwards, state governments ought to supply and maintain enough bathrooms that the streets remain sanitary.

Sanitation is one of the main things we need a government for; failure here is unacceptable.

We are hardly living in incredulous times.
The original comment was confusing - they're getting $60B, and also have a mandate to modernize. Only a minority of that money is actually being spent on the modernization. Most of it is being spent on additional auditing of tax returns - it's well known that every $1 spent on audits brings in more than $1 of additional revenue, and we're nowhere near the breakeven point. It's expected that the additional auditing will pay for itself several times over - even if you count the modernization spend against it as well, the government will see a large ROI on this $60B (they're expecting additional revenue of over $200B from the extra auditing).
I never gave a recovery phone number for any of my accounts. While they regularly ask for one to improve my security, I've never given one and they continue to accept my logins from all over the US as well as granting some apps (thunderbird) access to the account.

I do however get notifications on my phone asking if the login was me.
You have to verify user.
Looking at recent history, things have progressed very quickly in the past 5 years.

I expect additional advances at some point in the future.
It wasn't long ago that the enlightened people writing news stories were informing us that public toilets encouraged homelessness and crime. Business that allowed the public to use their toilets were "gently encouraged" not to do so anymore.

Perhaps we could go back and see who wanted to make public toilets unavailable, and make sure they're not still influencing public policy?
Even in a world of greys, there is light grey and dark grey. "Don't be evil" is an aspiration to acknowledge that principles exist and it would be better to adhere to them. Although obviously a company like Google isn't capable of doing that.

Although this doesn't count as evil. Showing locally adjusted maps is hardly even a light grey zone. If the authorities in country A say the border is there, draw it there when producing maps for that country. It is not complicated and it is a silly place to pick a fight - Google would lose if they lost and do nothing useful for anyone if they won. Nobody cares where Google thinks the borders are, they don't have an army and we do have VPNs.
DJI is the only major company that I've experienced demands you install an APK on your android instead of providing something via the app store. Something is completely broken with their software development, though their hardware seems quite nice.
National borders are very real to most nations. Similarly, someone's specific plot of real estate feels very real to them as well. You may not always be able to see them but you can't always see an electron either. That doesn't make them any less "real."
