And when did you last test your monthly backups? But seriously. If you fill out all the positions in an org chart it's easy to think you're delivering, and for a lot of situations it usually works. Anointing someone a manager usually works out because people can muddle through. It doesn't work in medicine, or as it turns out, air traffic control.

Dreamcrafters: Where Imagination Takes Form
The law specifically doesn't say:

>You cant expect to have immunity under section 230 if you arent going to provide "good samaritan" blocking and screening of offensive material.

In fact the law does not obligate service providers to moderate at all (except in accordance with a few narrow laws around sex trafficking, IP, and some criminal stuff). It does say that IF you moderate:

> No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.

The phrase "offensive material", doesn't mean offensive to ME in particular or to a "reasonable person" necessarily but in context if means offensive to the service provider.
I agree that 4k@60Hz is sufficient. The reason I push further to 4k@120Hz is because at that speed you can guarantee reliable frame rate above 60 frames. Whereas if the goal is 4k@60Hz, it will be treated as average frame rate and Goodhart's law will let games ship with occasional dips below 60 frames as long as it averages out.

Bugs that cause the game to fall below the minimum specs will definitely get fixed. Whereas bugs that cause the game to fall below recommended specs will be deferred to at best a day 1 patch, but also maybe never.

So if you want the minimum specs to enforce 4k@60Hz and really mean it, we need to push the recommended specs higher still.
Don't they still have those privacy payment systems? I remember back in the day using PrivateBuyer. It was an autonomous credit card like payment system.
I checked in with an engineer who’s focussing on app performance. You're right that this screen should not be 6MB. One part of the bloat is due to our webpack configuration. In lighthouse, you can see that >50% of the app.js file is unused for login. Most of this is actually used for the app after login.

We’re working on getting this down significantly but, that being said, the login page isn’t our highest priority. It’s the first thing customers see, but >99% of the time, they’ll already be logged in and navigate straight to the apps page, or a specific Retool app. For these pages, we’ve:

1. re-written our core runtime to avoid excessive message passing with iframes (up to 75% faster page load for slowest apps)

2. parallelized resource fetching with JS execution

3. cached app graph information in IndexedDB

4. tweaked webpack chunking strategy to avoid very small JS/CSS chunks

5. optimized resource fetching to avoid over fetching

Hope that’s helpful context. Definitely let me know if you have thoughts/other ideas
Osmand is (or was last I checked) also available paid on the Amazon Fire store.

If you get Amazon digital credit, e.g. from a "prime day delivery", you can use the fire store to donate that money to Osmand or whatever other app of preference.

People have been saying this about post-viral sequelae and EBV and CFS for a long time, but the evidence is just not there.

EBV is incredibly common, it is not surprising that many who have had ME/CFS would have it.

The medical world does not know how to communicate about problems that are likely coproductive of psychological and physical causes, especially in a post-AIDS patient advocacy world, simply because patients do not like hearing that there is anything psychological involved at all.
It's a voluntary arrangement that they can leave. Certain activities come with responsibilities and restrictions, *in the interest of protecting everyone else's rights.

it's an unwritten rule of HN that you must be able to self-sponsor an EB5 investor's green card. It's just measly $900k.

/s, obviously.

I'm already married, and I don't have an advanced degree (nor I have the need for one). My only options of getting a green card are (ranked from the least to most ridiculous)

- winning in the green card lottery

- finding someone to sponsor me an EB3, which would be very difficult, as I would refuse to accept an H1-B, unless they also immediately file for an EB3 (because on H1-B my wife wouldn't get a work authorization, but with EB3 she also gets an EB3 as dependent spouse)

- coughing up $900k for EB5

- divorcing and marrying a US citizen (or LPR)

- doing something that would get me persecuted in my home country but what was perfectly legal in the US, and applying for asylum in the US

none of these options are feasible. I do play the green card lottery every year though.

I was 25 then, but it seemed like mindless vengeful insanity all the same. The entire national character seemed to change, almost overnight, in a bleak and awful way; I felt like I was standing in the surf while a powerful wave receded, water and sand and gravel all rushing away around me, while I remained in place. I have felt like a foreigner here ever since, still a citizen but no longer an American.
Updated my comment to reflect that. I agree with you.
The term you're looking for is "corporate personhood."
Ok, you confirmed that you don't understand what you are doing.

Let me try to explain it to you. If there are two societies, one with negative birth rate and one with positive then while it may appear that they cancel each other out, it is only temporarily until one with the negative birth rates is extinct.

If you target only the society with the negative birth rate then you only help them closer to their extinction while at the same time making the life of the people harder and harder because they have to upheld the society with less and less people (it's not about money, it's about work).

Of course the life of the society with the positive (usually excessively positive) birth rates gets also worse and worse because they have to share usually constant amount or resource among constantly growing amount of people.

Both models are not sustainable model in the long run and the only solution is a balance for both societies.

On top of this I personally consider it as an act of genocide if this kind of scheme targets small nations with unique culture and language that already have unsustainable birth rates. Are you participating in genocide?

What makes you think I didn't know / read about it at the time?

All the comments here mentioning the neoconservative desire for regime change in Iraq predating 9/11 seem to imply that it was an obscure thing that people weren't very aware of at the time.

But that isn't true at all. It was broadly understood and frequently discussed. It's just that people were so generally scared, pissed off, and ready for vengeance against whoever, that nobody cared. (Not literally nobody, but I think I recall that the war had like 70% or 80% support, with strong majorities in both major parties.)

This is why I started out my adulthood libertarian-curious, because both parties and huge majorities of voters seemed insanely interventionist to me. But things have reordered a huge amount since then. (Basically everyone came around to my view of the war, in hindsight.)

Yes, it it not a good moment politically to discuss the psychological correlates/causes of disease. Probably hasn't been since the AIDS crisis, to be honest.

In future decades we will hopefully be more mature around these subjects.

Fair enough. They're still in progress, until they're actually shipping.
I do imagine there are some who truly are more efficient handwashing than using a dishwasher, but from your link:

> Additionally it was shown that new dishwashers are able to reach at least the same performance with significant less amount of water needed as any test person

Also, the chart shows the average water use for a lot of these countries is somewhere close to 100L of water. Even for the lows of Germany/GB the average is around 50L. 3.5gal is only ~13L of water. So by this document my dishwasher is 3.8x as efficient as the average German doing dishes and almost 8x more efficient as many other countries, but I do agree this study doesn't exactly have massive sample sizes and there's a massive range of variability.

I do generally agree though we're (usually) talking about somewhat insignificant amounts of water "wasted" either way. I use far more water for bathing, drinking/eating, and flushing throughout my day, and we're talking about a few hundred kWh of energy used over a year when my monthly usage is >1000kWh. In the end I agree, people should generally do what's comfortable for them, save for just letting the hot water run while doing a lot of dishes. But this idea that the average person handwashing dishes is radically more efficient just isn't reality, and most people would have to seriously try to be more water/energy efficient than most dishwashers on the market today.

The average person's techniques for washing dishes by hand just isn't as efficient as any modern dishwasher. That's probably fine, but also lets not ignore reality.
In Nick Lane's Oxygen: The Molecule that Made the World, he talks about the importance of both methane and carbon dioxide and how they exist at the extremes of a complex metabolic oxidation-reduction cycle. Methane stores a lot of chemical energy in its C-H bonds which can be burned directly, or metabolized through repeat oxidation events to ultimately form CO2, which plants utilize with the help of the sun to form more CH bonds before ultimately breaking down into methane again. Hence, an exoplanet with both molecules in its atmosphere is a promising candidate in the search for life.

>Does it really matter from a tax perspective?

Most likely, no.

If you are in a tax-deferred account (IRA/401k) then all the money distributed is going to be taxed at ordinary income tax rates.

If you are in a regular brokerage investment account, then both your long term capital gains and qualified dividends are taxed at the same favorable rate.

I don't see the point in re-investing dividends if you are going to take out cash in the same amount within less than a year.

“ The only industries Kaplan expects to continue to push for a full return to the office are tech…”

Essentially modern tech is all about remoteness - tech companies serve remote customers - yet tech is one of those industries that demand people return to offices.

Because they do. It is written in the constitution.

There is a strong desire to stop that and have Box be a normal std type, the main thing that is blocking this at the moment is that Box has special deref magic that is not possible to implement with surface level rust syntax (even with nightly features).

The lock-in effect is real. The Sony and RCA of yesteryear would have killed for this sort of walled garden.

> The new flagship iPhones that Apple is set to unveil this week will feature speedier processors, more sophisticated cameras and titanium rather than stainless steel cases, according to supply chain analysts. The changes are expected to come with a $100 to $200 price increase, bringing the cost of an iPhone Pro to $1,100 and the Pro Max to $1,200.

Such paper-thin excuses to raise the price. By all rights, the genuine tech in an iPhone has become so pedestrian that prices should have plummeted, yet they continue to increase as long as the market will bear it.

This is a tool I’ve been working on for the last ~6 months. It was born out of frustration trying to package boxxy[1] for different distros.

This was originally to be presented at RustConf 2023 in a few days, under the talk “Repackage the World!,” but unfortunately my health took a sudden turn for the worse and I’m no longer able to give the talk.

peckish IS NOT a perfect replacement for distro-specific packaging tools, and its packages WILL NOT be compliant with every distribution’s standards for packages.

peckish IS:

- a way to make a quick-and-dirty packages for distributing a program

- a CLI/library for manipulating the contents of Linux packages

The core abstraction is an in-memory filesystem behind an async std::fs-like facade[2], allowing packages to be manipulated with more-intuitive random-access I/O instead of putting up with (nested) streaming archive formats. This facade also is used for ex. enabling easier archive manipulation[3], a library for copying between facade implementations[4], and more. This bets that most packages will never be larger than memory, which in my testing is a safe bet even with Docker images as inputs.

Sorry for adding more YAML to the world :P

Show HN: Firefox addon to quarantine a tab to use offline with private data
Introducing QuaranTab: Companion extension to quarantine tabs so you can safely use them offline with private data

I find myself wanting to use online format parsers to quickly decode that production JWT or decode a base64 Authorization header but cannot trust these websites to not leak my information. I thought to myself if only I could cut-off network access to this site, use it offline, and then throw away all browsing data. So I created an extension just for that.

It uses Firefox contextual identities API (Containers) to isolate browsing data and inter-tab communication. Once the site is fully loaded, I then inject bogus proxy settings for any requests leaving that container to effectively cut-off network access. And once I'm done, I simply delete the Container.

Use Cases:

* Parse a live JWT token

* Convert a Base64 Authorization header

* Hash a password

* Parse a Protobuf message

* Submit my name and birthdate to estimate my date of death

Check out the MIT source code on GitHub [1] and install QuaranTab from the Firefox store [2]. If anyone is interested in a discussion, I'd love to chat about:

1. Any ideas on how we could implement this in Chromium? Using private window as a "Container"?

2. Can you come up with an exploit? I posted a 100usd bug bounty [3] if you find one!

3. Is there any way to prove an extension in the store was built from source in GitHub? I am imagining some kind of third-party escrow service managing the Firefox store account and building from specific public git repository.

Likely many companies that favour remote work havent been asked. In fact i call this whole article bs. The reason it was written is to make it appear normal and therefore to increase demands of on site work.
My guess is that in some cases, this sort of policy is actually a form of layoffs where they want to reduce costs through lower headcount without calling it a layoff. They know some sizable chunk of employees will balk and find another remote job if forced to return to the office. Instead of the company picking who gets laid off, the employees pick themselves.

There are definitely some downsides to such a policy, especially in that you can't control who leaves. You could lose some top performers this way.

But it would still accomplish lowering costs while sidestepping much of the bad press of being forced to lower costs through a layoff.
