I’d agree with HN who’s hiring. That’s dealing with direct contacts within the company. It’s not a random HR drone who has no real understanding of the role they are hiring for and need to find somewhat arbitrary criteria to pass on to the interview stage. I’m just saying to avoid the application paths that puts your resume into a pile of 500 others to get sorted by some mystical and opaque process.
This is actually a great point to illustrate how true my argument is. One reason those companies have succeeded building amazing products and services, that now rake in billions of taxes dollars every month, is because many years ago they were able to get around paying taxes. As a result, they built amazing stuff for us, that we are benefiting both as consumers and as a society, because now they generate tax money for us from all over the world.

You see, when we relieve companies of the unbelievable burden of taxes, what do we get in return: these companies produce tremendously more value for society (via better products and services) which then generate more revenue over the long-haul via taxes for us. It doesn't make sense to tax companies! They are unselfish entities designed to serve society, why would we tax them?????? It's f****** crazy.

Of course, now those tax loops have been filled, and other companies can't build products to competitive with Amazon/Google. But is that Amazon's fault? NO. It's the shitty legislators. You can't punish Amazon for that - insane.

Amazon/Google were able LEGALLY get around paying taxes, that is not illegal, and it's definitely not immoral. Punishing them for that is crazy.
>not because it doesn't bring in the so called value

It doesn't bring in so called value versus the investment assuming actual final costs of building such a system. Except the north east however the cost of buying land to build it there and revamping existing infra like stations is a massive. People keep wishing it did but a system that is slower (door to door) and less convenient (lack of local public transit) than airplanes isn't particularly good.

This is not true. The medicine was for miscarriages (it was referred as “spontaneous abortion”).

It's explained in the article that you linked. Some women did take the medicine to induce an abortion, but they did not do that with Hildegard's aid or assent.

There is a helpful discussion around this here:

It’s wild to me that these photo copyright trolls are apparently able to make money off the often zero-dollar-value earned from the use of copyrighted photos but nobody can get money out of the thousand t-shirt & merch printing companies claiming the DCMA protects them when actually selling, manufacturing & delivering bootleg products.
I had a similar idea and called them "Shifted Search Trees". I can see how they are also a kind of Trie

I've written about how they can not only be used for hashes but also for storing sparse indexes. I'm hoping to write an extremely tiny Lua implementation which uses only slab allocation (even better than arena IMO! Though I do love arena allocators)

What were they doing? From all I can tell they require to hold down the shift key a lot, other than that it's hard to find good information how they offered anything not offered by contemporary ecosystems. Or how they offered a better set of tradeoffs in some situations than we can have today.

> because they are not major crimes

I don't understand this police attitude. A £600 bike is worth as much as a £600 diamond. But cops will definitely go after diamond thieves.

I reported a £2,000 ebike stolen; it had a GPS tracker, so I could locate the thing to a specific address. Their reply: "We will not be visiting the address. Do you know how many Ferraris are stolen in Birmingham every week?"

So because I can't afford a Ferrari, the cops won't even try to recover my transport.

A cheap bike is probably more valuable to a bike owner than a Ferrari is to a Ferrari owner; the Ferrari owner can just switch to driving around in his Lotus.
Excluding Netflix as it's irrelevant technology-wise and including Microsoft, the difference is that those companies are offering a wide array of core products (operating systems, developer tools, server hosting, smartphones, etc) which most people on earth consume. They make a lot of money and continue to do so.

On the other hand what is Mozilla offering? A (now) obscure web browser that has run an Google charity for decades. It's painfully obvious that Mozilla isn't playing in the same category.
Because icloud is a cloud service, this is my phone scanning my photos.
It'll probably take me longer than you'll maintain interest in this thread, but I'll reply when done anyway.

I've created 3 tables with an auto-incrementing unsigned bigint as the PK, and then 4 unsigned int fields with random values. Each table has 25,000,000 rows (and has unique values, modulo the PK). Once they're loaded, and I come up with some queries, I'll create some indices, and then reduce the buffer pool to < index size to mimic those conditions.

I won't be doing billions of queries, though :p
Again, people dying from the elements is at an all time low, and this is a fact:
https://ourworldindata.org/natural-disasters

Indeed, the number of people dying from extreme heat is going up, but that number was small to begin with. And you know what the solution will be? To install some air conditioning, much like how we survive winter by having indoor heating, and maybe to adjust our work schedule a little.

"Soul crushing", no offence, but JFC.
tbh if ads on a website can not be blocked by a simple content blocker, then I'll just simply stop using the website.

Safari and Chrome V3 blocker are much more privacy friendly since the extension does not need to access the entire DOM.
For personal relations I will maintain that it's always better to be clear and give a straight yes or no. Nobody likes being left hanging in uncertainty, and nobody likes people who always do that to them - people who cannot even provide a "maybe" - when asked even simple questions.
But then you could just have a third key to use in place of the first for anything you think you might want to get out of later.

You could have a mechanism to prove two emails are signed with the same key, without revealing the public key (e.g. using a zero-knowledge technique like zk-SNARKs) - but that might then be functionally equivalent to just revealing the key in terms of non-repudiation anyway.
I remember learning 6502 assembler from popular computer magazine to add myself more armored divisions and nukes in some war strategy game on C-64. Hard to imagine these days with modern games.
Not to mention there’s no business competition between free languages. Google, like all other major corps, are looking at Rust and want it to succeed. It is not “threatening” Go in any way (whatever that means – it’s not like Google is dependent on outside contributions for Go).
A small amount of the whole?
Currency is currency.

Assets are assets.

Claiming that an asset is better than a currency because it’s better at what assets are supposed to do and currencies are explicitly not supposed to do is strange to say the least.
A wall socket can be found just about anywhere, if you really need power quick there are fast charging powerbanks.
Maybe. In my experience, a more common case is that the buyer has no way to evaluate value other than quoted price and so they're actually _much happier_ with a huge price than they would be with a smaller price for the same work.

Imagine his excitement: after 5 years of marriage, she suddenly gave him the rhetorical ammunition he needed to bring a mistress into the relationship. After all, they were a couple, and since when does that mean only two?
Why say punishment via rules can solve this, in other words, putting people in cages at the end of the day (or in other cases, taxing a permitted behavior), instead of advocate for structurally removing that power from them?
The problem is always expensive housing where people want to live. The zoning doesn’t make the housing expensive itself, the desirability of the location does. No one ever complains about zoning in Detroit or Cleveland.

Housing can actually be fairly affordable in Europe. Berlin until about 5 years ago had incredibly affordable housing for such a nice city…then it simply got more popular until that wasn’t the case anymore. Tokyo would have similar problems if its population wasn’t actually shrinking now (as are Nagoya and Osaka), since it’s a nice place to live, and housing isn’t very restricted beyond having to rebuild everything every 30 (SFH) to 50 (apartments) years.
>The problem the article is addressing (I think) is that this reality does not seem to inform the popularly held beliefs and expectations of (inexperienced?) indie game developers, and the effects of that.

Reality doesn't inform a lot of creative endeavors. Writing some tech book (or really books more broadly) is almost certainly some way below minimum wage task from a financial perspective unless it makes your company notice you more, it brings you clients, etc.
We're not talking about the electorate, we're talking about individual people's decisions to have children.

If you are impoverished (and thus unable to meaningfully effect change in the system that impoverished you) it is irresponsible and bad to have children because the outcomes for those children will be bad.

You may decide that this state of affairs is bad, but that doesn't change the fact that it is still bad today to make an individual choice to have children in poverty.

Who’s to say the EU won’t force Apple to have a “browser selection screen” on first start up where people will pick Chrome because that’s what they use on desktop.

Safari is unfortunately the last bulwark against a Chrome monoculture where Google will decide the future of the web - which they will of course design to assist and enhance their ad selling.
If you're like, at a very senior level it's not unusual. But that also comes with a level of accountability to stakeholders that Baker demonstrably does not have.

How long do you imagine someone in such a position at a FAANG company would last if they were getting Baker's market share numbers?
I think this is a wise take. I guess it was helpful to get the ball rolling as a fresher
>Really, if you can't be bothered to cook, that should be the time you start scrubbing potatoes and putting together a wholesome and satisfying meal, to actually enjoy it and be incentivised to cook some more.

This makes no sense. We already established that the person doesn't like cooking and your solution is to... cool anyways? Has it occurred to you that some people simply don't like cooking and/or doesn't place high value on food?
I would think they would fall under some other "internal affairs" jurisdiction. No?
As an Australian I agree with you. I would definitely expect several to be more than a few. Most of the time "a few" would mean 3 or 4, to me. "Several" is anywhere from 4 to ~7.
Reading the comments, it appears that there are folks in the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia who understand the use of “couple” as fuzzy. “I’m going to grab a couple of things from the garage” means I’m going to grab a few, maybe 1-4 or so things. It also is understood as meaning 2 when talking about a specific request as in, “Give me a couple of beers.”

So, I’m surprised that so many commenters are surprised by the fuzzy usage. I wonder if it’s a regional thing in each country? But then, how does it transcend borders so thoroughly before spreading (mostly) to every region? Language evolution is such a strange thing.

You have a complete misunderstanding of "thriving". Thriving is Google/Amazon in the past 20 years. IDK what thriving businesses you're talking about.

You can't go back to the Gilded Age, dude, that's crazy. We have to keep things relevant.
Bicycles are among the most efficient energy conversion systems human-kind has ever invented .. the difference between a single lever (which, after all, is still an option with the existing design) and a bicycle lever/gear system, means all the difference in the world when the calories are, already, a regular daily concern for the target user.

Plus, it gives the bikes utility when they're not being rented, since the rental bays often take up space in areas accessible to the homeless, its also quite convenient for the target users.
See my point here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37725434
Yeah, it's frustrating because the monetary value of the object is not what determines whether the crime is major.

If I can't have a decent bike at all because it will be stolen like clockwork, the fact that I would lose a few hundred quid isn't the relevant aspect, it's that I'm forced into a degenerate way of being.

Does your part of Europe have a high unemployment problem? Mine doesn't? Germany doesn't.
A fundamental problem that I see today ist that most systems end up being either too rigid or too unstructured. We always want guardrails but then we need ways to remove them. What sounds good in theory or looks amazing on a demo often becomes impractical in a realistic development setting.

(There is a hint on something like that wrt. Mesa/Cedar on wikipedia. FWIW -- I've obviously never used it myself)
My point is that you should worry about specific ingredients, and specific types of processing. What do you think is bad here?

I don't know much about enriching ingredients in the US, but where it's done, it's to prevent diseases you can get from missing them, or which can cause other health problems. Folic acid, which is in your list, is well known as a recommended supplement for pregnant women, since it dramatically reduces incidence of spina bifida in newborns. Niacin is better known as vitamin B, and it's a similar story.
I wrote those comments, fog wasn't using the API as he would have liked, and then this guy starts a bunch of trouble on HN stating that there was a vun on DigitalOcean, and conflated someone using the API incorrectly with us having a security vun. Two things I was trying to (admittedly not very well) say was: if DO did have a security issue, posting it on HN ("DigitalOcean leaks customer data between VMs" huh?) instead of emailing us about it isn't a very responsible way to disclose it and, there isn't actually a security issue, the fog app wasn't passing the scrub flag. In retrospect, I should have been less of a jerk, but I still think sneak was acting in bad faith in how he went about the whole thing. 10 years later and I still remember how pissed off I was that day, hah.
> None of the above has anything to do with particular email message authenticity.

Only if you're on a shared email hoster. If you're the only one that has access to the mail server's signing keys, it's gonna be real hard to convince anyone that someone else signed that email.

How would you design experiments to test its necessity?
Straight up wicked!

I'm absolutely disgusted every time i'm reminded of just how obscene the yearly pay for that class of people, and how often they are just straight up psychopaths.

They rely on nepotistic networks of power, scamming, and straight up financial crime.

Unless you yourself built the company, or pulled some rare actually great scheme to elevate it, everything above 1MM a year is stealing from other peoples wages, especially in orgs like this.

I wonder why people haven't pulled a french revolution when there's countless examples of this type of siphoning everywhere these days.

These people don't give a fuck, they are twofaced, they lie all day long while they take your money and use it to buy wine cellars, yachts and propaganda to keep everyone down - all disguised by buzzwords like "open", "green", "patriotic" or whatever while they tank the great work done non psychopaths.
One can have n-way couplings though.

Show HN: GoMarkableStream v0.12 – reMarkable2 Streaming with NGrok and recording
Hello HN community,

I’m excited to introduce goMarkableStream v0.12. This project is designed specifically for those who use the reMarkable 2. It allows you to stream effortlessly without needing any subscriptions, third-party dependencies, or additional installations. I’ve built it to be as simple and straightforward as possible.

Key Features:

1. Toggle Color Rendering:
• Do the streaming colors sometimes seem overpowering?
• I’ve crafted a toggle to disable color rendering. However, it’s crucial to note that this only functions while the stream is active.
2. NGrok Integration:
• Aimed at those looking to go beyond local addresses, I’ve integrated with NGrok to enable streaming over the internet.
• An NGrok account is needed (even the free tier is compatible).
• Just ensure you have your NGROK_TOKEN to begin.
3. Experimental Recording Feature:
• Now, you can capture and preserve moments from your streams in .webm format.
• Also added is the ability to record via a microphone, ideal for presentations.
• Please remember: Due to browser restrictions, this feature only works with HTTPS.

I’ve poured a lot into making goMarkableStream v0.12 beneficial for streamers, educators, and professionals alike. I earnestly welcome feedback, insights, and suggestions for further enhancement
I struggle to understand how implying that the electorate is uninformed correlates to claiming to understand the situation fully.

I, for example, don't know much about a lot of the US federal government's internal workings, but I do know that most people that pay taxes to the US don't know much about how their tax money is used, or why.

It's a stretch to claim that he has some special understanding because he tweeted something adjacent.
Post child depression and regret is a thing, not limited to just the moms. Diving into it based on faith that your feelings about it will get better is gambling in a huge way.
That's why I'm glad to see "hyper-palatable" gaining currency. "Ultra-processed" has always been a too-ambiguous term that fails to convey what's actually problematic about some foods. It's used to scare instead of inform. Find ten articles about "ultra-processed" food and nine of them will be pure clickbait - the junk food of nutrition advice. "Hyper-palatable" is far from perfect, but at least it's a little bit less ambiguous and scare-inducing.

P.S. In many ways "junk food" is still better than either, despite the pejorative tone.
Bad zoning prevents price signals from leading to increased density and thus increased supply in areas of high demand.

San Francisco should look like Hong Kong or Tokyo. If you want a quaint small town move to a quaint small town. World cities are not small towns and trying to contain them to preserve their “character” just leads to affordability crises and homelessness among other problems.

If Detroit suddenly became a hot place to live and it wasn’t upzoned the same problems would start happening there.
Is there any evidence that's a problem that actually happens often, as opposed to just being something you can easily imagine happening?

I've known quite a lot of CEOs, of small and big for-profits and charities too, and anecdotally they've all been some of the hardest working people I know. There's many complaints to make against many CEOs (including some of the ones I've known), often including taking obscene salaries while under-paying workers, or other problematic management decisions, but in my experience laziness just doesn't seem common - in exec levels generally as well as chief ones.

If you want to be lazy and paid well, there are easier jobs with less constant security than being a CEO!

Homelessness is a serious subject, especially in a city like London. The assumption that the homeless masses all have access to a powerbank, or a wall socket in one of the cities most notorious for class boundaries, is rather coarse.. perhaps you might at least think of it as more of a survival device for those who are using their bicycles to get far, far away from the grid ..
If only they had continued on their trajectory of the early 2010s.

When Brendan Eich was still there they seemed to have a clear purpose and identity. A lot of interesting stuff was happening: the birth of what would become Rust, PDF.js which is now ubiquitous back when downloading PDFs was the norm, Firefox OS, which somehow found success after they abandoned it, asm.js, the predecessor of web assembly which killed the alternative that Google was championing called NaCl (very few remember it now).

Then they just seemed to lose their way I can't tell how
The lack of ACLs or comparable permissions is by far the biggest thing that prevents me from recommending DO for production workloads. This kind of thing is absolutely essential. You can't even separate dev resources from prod resources, every API key has godmode on your whole account. This is a security disaster.

For a simple example, I'm running externaldns on a kubernetes cluster. For production use, I'd want to at least have an API key that can only access the DNS domains and nothing else. As is, the key can create compute resources or delete anything (including object storage buckets!). Again with no dev/prod isolation, so a leaked dev key that looks innocuous means your prod resources are now compromised.

Some second tier providers do better at this, OVH and scaleway both have some concept of ACLs, but DO just don't even try.

Apologies for the slight rant but it's frustrating to see something so basic overlooked by a company the size of DO.
I'm an American who uses "couple" to mean exactly two. I suspect this is more of a regional or familial thing than something we can say about American English as a whole.
