Just read the article. He doesn't like to work from the office because he said he prefers to be on the road meeting customers.

Meanwhile, the brand of WFH HN folks want is to not leave the house and interact with real humans in person.

The only reason I said "co-ceo" is because I was responding to someone who, for whatever reason, thinks a multi-billion public company shouldn't have its CEO talk to customers.
Serious question: do you think the majority of people aren't getting themselves off (or working their way to getting themselves off in short order) when consuming nudes, erotica and nsfw? The follow up question would then be if the majority of people are using the art to get themselves off is said art not then porn?
The espionage really is next level in China. It’s not just reconstructing software (that’s part of it) but stealing binaries (and source where they can) for everything along the way.

I worked at a large tech co with an assembly line in China and experienced this first hand. A routine scan of one of our calibration machines turned up a Trojan with a copy of all calibration software squirreled away. Fortunately nothing is network connected there, but it was obvious someone was planning to come back for it. The stash had our calibration software and the factory’s proprietary control software on it. Both companies sent security to watch the machine for 48 hours straight until a hard drive shredder could be procured to mutually assure each party no software would leak. It was nuts, but apparently common.
Your statement has the same air of statements like "not every man is a sexist", yes but men in general are responsible for how men in general treat women. If Jews do not hold to account the extremist views that lead to murder and violence their brothers have then they are too blame as well.
There are many forks of Bitcoin, like Bitcoin Cash or BSV. When core developers suggest "what is valid is what is accepted by all these nodes," they're referring to the fact that nodes ultimately determine which cryptocurrency they acknowledge as valid for transactions. This could range from Bitcoin, its various forks, to even Ethereum and beyond. It's not a part of the protocol itself but a kind of very metaphorical vote, akin to how you "vote" for Canadian dollars by accepting them as a form of payment.

> nodes have been used to influence policy

Which policy are we referring to? There is no centralized authority here. Each participant has the autonomy to decide which blockchain to support. If a Bitcoin fork appeals to you, you're free to use it. The only semblance of "politics" that emerges is the debate over semantics, the "true Bitcoin," but this isn't dictated by the protocol. It evolves in a decentralized and organic manner, devoid of any formal political process or voting.

It bears very little resemblance with typical notions of voting and politics. It's only political in the broadest sense of the term, when starting from the axiom "anything involving humans is political". Which dilutes the significance of the term 'political' - a trend that I personally find very irritating, hence my initial snarky comment.
While I was reading up further on succint trees, I noticed this https://web.cs.dal.ca/~mhe/publications/sea15_parallelsuccin... . I've not gone through it thoroughly yet, but it seems that someone has done it.
There are many similar features. Overall the UI on ChessMonitor is much more focused on statistics.

Another key feature Lichess does not have, is the Openings page. It is very powerful when used correctly. You can look at your openings and immediately see for which openings you might need to consume more theory (or which you should not play at all).

Here is an example: https://www.chessmonitor.com/u/cdPiOkUArRJ7shVNJcT3/openings...

> They also sell margarine in cute butter-like packages

Don't wanna call it deceiving.

People, who followed their doctors advice, and switched to margarine after a heart attack, more often had another one than those who stayed with butter.

Hm, just thought: Maybe it has to do more with the anxiety of those individuals than the trans fats in margarine. Still, i keep those plastic fats out of my body.
Interesting, thanks. Just heard of t2.social and looked at bluesky yesterday. Glad competition continuing.
The main thing for me is that the data isn't broken down in a way that ends you having to make a thousand requests and collate them. If the client is expected to be able to pull the whole set of data, provide the whole set. There's other ways to rate limit.
CIA's failed attempt to bribe Lee Kuan Yew

The US would not have been in the ground riling up protesters if they thought the protests could organically overthrow their government, which was the US goal. It 'taints' the protesting by making it seem like it's just another US puppet protest. And it also makes a complete mockery of any efforts for us to make claims like 'foreign countries shouldn't interfere in the democratic process of other nations.' There is 0 doubt that Yanukovych was the legitimate democratically elected leader of Ukraine, but because he made interests that were not aligned with those of the US, of course it didn't matter.

Beyond this, I think you're also aware that if the US is sending people like McCain and Nuland to visibly rile up protesters, "we" were also doing far more behind the scenes, to make sure the coup could succeed. The number of protesters involved in the final attack on the Ukrainian Parliament was extremely small, relative to the earlier mass gatherings - numbering about 20,000 people. There was no real reason to think they would win, yet you had cities, police departments, and others openly and overtly defecting to the protesters, the military refusing to carry out orders and so on. That seems extremely unlikely to be organic, because if the protesters had failed overthrow Yanukovych, which one had every reason to think would be the case, then the defectors would have faced extremely severe consequences, up to and including charges of treason.

Oh there's also another funny little point. When the final charge on the parliament began, riot police managed to successfully scatter the first wave. Many protesters being pursued by riot police managed to evade them by taking shelter in... the Canadian Embassy. It's all about as organic as nuclear waste.
Your analogy is a bit of an odd one, as unsolicited dick pics are undoubtedly a form of sexual abuse.

Every single company does it. The 3 of them: Asking employees to install a CA, using it for “.internal” resources, then ask employees to use a web proxy and MITM their connections. And optionally, leak the CA’s pk to get pawned. It’s the standard operating procedure of any well-run business.
Apple honestly did a pretty good job. You can sideload your own code with a free developer account, but you have to jump through some minor hoops to get “developer” mode set on your account (I went through this to get the tvOS 17 beta). And the app signing expires in 7 days, so it’s really painful for a normal user who isn’t actually developing and testing an app to use like that for a long term thing.

If you want more than that, you can pay $99 for a real developer account and that will let you sign apps for up to a year. And that’s a sufficient barrier that Facebook can’t be like “you have to sign up for a dev account if you want to use Facebook!” and expect the average user to just blindly comply.

Cause that’s the problem with the EU approach, it works ok when it’s only the EU, but Facebook really wants to bypass those permissions (they’ve already bribed users to install dev credential builds that have full permissions, so they could datamine more effectively), and the moment they can lever open the app-review process with “third party app stores” is the moment the “doesn’t work on iOS, please sideload the native app” banner goes up on Facebook.com.

It doesn’t have to be financial but the only alternatives would be some kind of credential verification thing like looking at your LinkedIn or a college transcript or a GitHub account to validate that you’re actually a bona fide developer and not just grandma who got an iTunes gift card to install the spyware build (real example from Facebook).

They must only borrow the money (or get it from somebody else who got it from somebody who borrowed it from the central bank) that they need to pay you out in paper or digital cash and the money they have to keep in reserve. They do not have to borrow the whole credit value. The credit itself is created out of thin air but with some strings attached, so banks can't just create infinite amounts of credit and they cannot just pay out arbitrary sums of created credit.

If the rules were actually that simple, the world would need far fewer lawyers.

I think that proves a point that some jobs can be done outside of the office, so why not have people work where they prefer? For this CEO it's on the road. For a lot of people it's at home. For a lot of people it's both.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with being a sailor. It's more a fear of change — thinking you'll always enjoy painting, and then realizing there might be a day when the passion is gone.

If we want schools to reflect useful skills, we'd be better off introducing typing and computer skills younger and dropping the requirement for cursive penmanship.

This has already been done (in many cases, 15+ years ago) at most American grade schools -- touch-typing and computer skills instruction now starts only 1 or 2 years after handwriting instruction. This means it is introduced in 2nd or 3rd grade. (Most essay-writing remains on paper until 6th grade, though)

I'm not sure if "outpay Google" is necessary for that. Apple and Google are competitors, in some aspects this seemed almost personal (Steve Jobs mentioned "thermonuclear war", see https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspence/2015/01/31/how-apple...)

Another search engine that is 90% there and can offer only 10% of payments might have been good enough (at least in a certain time frame) if it gave Apple an opportunity to snub Google.

I've been reading news about Chinas imminent collapse for the last 20 years and so far it never happened. Its reported growth may be overstated but obviously a substantial part of it is real. So I take these news with a large grain of salt now. Yes, there are very good reasons for China going into a huge financial crisis but there are also very good reasons why they can avoid it and published numbers won't tell us what is going on until it already happened.

Yeah. In that case, it's just easier to get a really cheap wild-card cert signed by a low-cost reseller for <50 bucks. They only reason to care about big-name certs is compatibility with all the devices out there, but if you don't need compatibility, then get the cheapest thing you can.

Seems like a lot of what fauna does by storing documents isn’t really new, oracle, Postgres and others have provided this for a long time. I was really surprised by the performance of json queries [1], opens the doors to using Postgres as a client api cache, storing the payload in a table, and doing deserialization using (materialized) views.

Difference seems to be the approach to minimize number of calls from your application, get all require session data in one call, similar to what graphql is doing for api calls. They’re also using http as the protocol for database connectivity.

What to say about that kind of obsession over productivity, or the narcissism of valuing your supposedly insanely productive time so much? Hiring people to babysit a self-absorbed adult with apparently no self-control or discipline. And if that’s not enough, to look for people in developing countries to serve as low-paid audience and human to-do list.

All this to write blog articles? Code no one will cares about? Spin on the millions of ideas pouring out of your brain? Comically “optimizing” your activities and schedule? This describes a mental illness, not a productivity hurdle.

I'm aware of Chess960, but this will probably never be supported on ChessMonitor for three reasons: First, Chess960 basically tries to prevent players from preparing (by having a random starting position) which does not align well with providing statistics. Second, it would require major UI and storage changes on ChessMonitor (like adding an option to select the starting position to compare games). And third, Chess960 is simply not as popular amongst non-professional chess players.

Ask HN: What AI writing tool do you use for blog posts?
Hope you're having a nice start of the weekend!

So, I've been looking around for better AI writing tools for my content. I don't have the budget right now to hire full on writers (if you have recommendations, let me know).

I tried Jasper AI[1] and I gotta say, it's pretty solid for cranking out long-form content swiftly. It listens to my prompts nicely and helps in drafting blog posts and stuff.

I was one of the first people to buy Copy.ai[2], a good place if you're looking to generate marketing copies for ads, emails, and whatnot, quite user-friendly for short-form content. But it was based off GPT-3 I believe, so quite old.

I also tried Reword, it's really good, the trial is nice, it works well, but then they hit you with a $2000+ for writing articles in bulk. What the hell? Who can afford that? haha. I'm not paying that for their AI-quality. Just insanely overpriced.

So I just settled to writing my own content via Perplexity AI[3], dropping it into ChatGPT Plus to refine it. Adding images via MidJourney. Doing a lot of correcting manually by adding bold text, rewriting to lists, removing all the bullshit it writes. It takes 4-6 hours for a good blog post to get it to a high quality. But it works so well!

One tool, I saw mentioned on Twitter was WrittenLabs[4]. It writes full blog posts (you can input your OpenAI API key) based on the keywords you input. For example I entered "mercedes benz w111" and then 4-5 variations and so on.

I used it to write a guest post for a Mercedes blog[5] for a client [6], I saw their guest post prices on a marketplace, but I looked up the guy's phone number, cold called him in Romania, negotiated a price via WhatsApp and he published it on the front page for 25% of the price + posted it on his Facebook page of 30k members haha.

So any tools you can recommended? What is your workflow? Do you think it's worth it to find a tool or should I just hire a content team?
That’s technically correct, and I think the author would say he’s aware of that definition.

The article as I read it is trying to make a broader point, that there are underlying mathematical principles that inspired Codd’s relational model.

I’ve never had cause to explore it, but my understanding is that there’s nothing in those principles that require tables/rows of tuples.

One goal of the article seems to be to inspire a curiosity in knowledgeable readers: what happens if you build a document database that also supports the same mathematical principles that inspired the relational model?
That's not HSTS, that's TOFU.

HSTS is about remembering to do an http:// -> https:// redirect. It's not about remembering a cert.

The downside of TOFU in browsers, is that it trains users to always click through cert warnings. Train them to do it once, and they'll click through it again when there's a real attack. The warning is the same on the first time visiting the site and on a later time visiting it if the cert has changed.

The TOFU UX in SSH is better, because it displays a different warning for when SSHing to a site for the first time vs SSHing to a site again and the cert has changed.

> Deno is a simple, modern and secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript that uses V8 and is built in Rust.

Still don’t fully understand what ‘runtime’ means in this context. It’s not the parser, interpreter, VM, GC I think, because that is the V8 part. It’s not a runtime compiled into an executable like Haskell or Go.

Is it the term used here for a set of standard libraries? Or maybe in interaction layer with the operating system underneath, or the package/build system? Or an umbrella term for all of this?

I’ve been doing all kinds of JavaScript and TypeScript for a long time now without a runtime (I think) so pretty curious.

That's a Merkle tree. Blockchains are a Merkle tree plus some form of consensus algorithm, often a trustless one. It's the usefulness of the consensus algorithm which is usually called into question by critics (generally because it's often expensive and cannot reference anything outside the system).

Recently, I opened 80 and 443 so I could use LetsEncrypt’s acme-client to get a certificate (and then test it). Tightening up security a bit, I configured an http relay to filter people accessing 80 by ip address rather than domain name - some scanners are still trying domain and sub-domain names I was using weeks ago - which goes to show how organised hackers are about attacking targets.
> Taking multiple "points" (100mg doses) in a single session is extremely common among enjoyers of MDMA.

300mg, especially for someone without prior MDMA experience, is an absolutely unhinged hero dose.

300mg spaced out over the course of 12 hours or so is somewhat less so, but you absolutely will get fewer effects on re-dosing, and fewer the next day as well if you dose again.

That said 120mg should be pretty safe for anyone, but with lower-tolerance or lighter users, could definitely reduce their ability to engage in meaningful conversation or retain any memory of what they discussed.

Interesting. It only found less that a quarter of the subdomains of the site I work on, and everything it did find is public facing.
