Your post reads like someone who is interested in politics on the side, and has done a lot of reading on US issues, but hasn't really worked in the field. Is that accurate? If so, can you start there, working for campaigns (maybe as a volunteer/intern at first) or think tanks or NGOs/NPOs? You'll get paid a pittance at first, but it's a way in...

I don't think anyone will care about your crypto or software background, though (like maybe don't bring it up...?). Politics is its own bubble full of makers and shakers. Frankly I think you'd have to prove it to them (someone) that you're worth it, people aren't just going to care about your personal politics unless you can do something for them.

As an aside, I've met a few political types in D.C. when I was there visiting. I'd just found them on LinkedIn or on their company pages (various advocacy agencies/nonprofits) or even on dating apps, and wrote them asking if I could buy them lunch just to hear their stories, how they got in the field, etc. -- making my agenda clear upfront, that I'm just a nobody curious about the field, can you tell me more if I get you lunch? These people were genuinely impressive... friendly and willing to talk to me, despite being very busy and extremely well educated and connected.
That would be bad for human health in coastal zones (i.e. most of the population). Better would be to release sulphur in a controlled way so that the effects are far from civilization, like on the middle of the ocean, and then study the relationship with temperature.
> Basically, they stuck a new person in an office and assumed it would work out.

That still doesn't work and never works. Right might have amplified it but no difference. In places without onboarding and training lots of people are still confused.
And yet, it works better than in Wayland.
What's the alternative if most of tor traffic is password attempts and bad actors how do you protect yourself from tors bad actors without effecting all of tors users. I work at a company that runs a large website top 1000 websites in the world, and we don't even have to block tor exit nodes since they trigger our bot and snap blocking rules on our firewall, how do we let valid for users through without letting all the malicious actors?

Sure, if we lived in a society that valued people enough intrinsically to support them regardless of their value in the capitalist marketplace... But we don't. Too bad people need to eat and pay their rent.

Lots of drugs cost little to manufacture but lots to develop. Ideally the costs for robust research and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals would be shared by all people equally because we all benefit from improving the human condition... But they're not. And since pharmaceutical companies can't just blow a whole bunch of money on research for things that will bring them no money, they charge enough for the pill to make their money back, and unfortunately, usually, far beyond that until it's able to be made generically. I believe that windfall profits from prices that keep people from treatment are wrong. But allowing everyone to make new drugs developed by other pharmaceutical companies to sell at generic prices would just mean those companies wouldn't research new drugs... Win? Not without a way in-place to replace that research. And anyone considering some glib argument questioning the value of new drugs, you're full of shit. Not every new drug is a Viagra knock-off.

Lots of people in the tech crowd have adopted this convenient romantic notion that real art must be non-commercial, and that all real art is made by people toiling in obscurity, driven solely by the need for self-expression and the distant hope that they'll someday be discovered, become famous, and have their name in art history books... Or even that hobby art could replace professional art. That, of course, is complete bullshit. Art is no different than any other intellectual pursuit and equating VFX artists for AAA game titles and professional session musicians to weekend basement studio oil painters and people with hobby bands is like equating immigration attorneys writing depositions and technical writers to people who are serious about their personal fanfic blogs.

Saying we need to abolish copyright means the things that are copyrighted have enough value to want; demanding we do that without first demanding an alternate way to support people who do intellectual work is a self-absorbed demand for free stuff. Saying they should get another job and continue to produce that valuable work for free— like a public slave in ancient Rome— is not an answer any ethical adult could entertain in good faith.
Slept on it. How about "No Web". It's a pun in english (no and know) and also an oblique reference to Herbert's Dune universe "No Ships", who's interiors are invisible to prescience. A fleet of no ships on an internet with ~6 kwizatz haderachs captures a resistance element. The name is a bit strange, too, attracting the intellectually curious.
Try to floss one of your molars a couple of hours after you eat and smell it a little bit, you'll be disgusted by what you discover.
My main tools for Critical Ignoring (kudos for the excellent name):

1. SelfControl - with complete block of all social media, news sites, etc. (took a while to compile a very long and thorough list, but now it's pretty solid)

2. News Feed Eradicator extension for Firefox - to prevent being distracted when I intentionally go on social media for specific info.
At first, I was disappointed that it doesn’t support Safari but then I realized Safari does this even better with tab groups.

Still, it would have been nice to be able to sync them with other browsers (e.g. from Safari to Firefox). I guess “cross-browser” means “the author’s favourite browsers”.
I've been using postgresjs in production for a while now with jsonb etc... and haven't run into any issues.

The ME is simply a backdoor so that enterprise users can centrally manage their fleet. There's nothing really secure about it. It is probably still based on Minix and presumably full of security-relevant bugs.
This is not AI generated. This film is not worth the effort to do good CGI and that’s about the short of it. These characters are probably reused from some other context where they would be much further away. The thing that makes them look so awful here isn’t the rendering (which is bad) but the fact that they’re animated in a way that clearly uses an awkwardly small amount of bones. E.g. their fingers don’t move. And their faces.

We can surely do better CGI. But it might not be worth the cost here. To be clear, a background actor probably is worth the cost here because they are incredibly cheap.

AI could bridge this gap in both quality and cost though. Just need better tooling
They are not slower than headers. Ive been looking into it because modular STL is such a big win. On my little toy project i have .cpp files compiling in 0.05 seconds while doing import std.

Downside is that at the moment you cant mix normal header STL with module STL in the same project (msvc), so its for cleanroom small projects only. I expect the second you can reliably use that almost everyone will switch overnight just from how fast of a speed boost it gives on the STL vs even precompiled headers.
It's not an uncharitable description of how taxes work, it's an accurate description of how stuff like this gets funded by government. somebody in government somewhere will fail to do any of the cost containment/search for alternatives you or I would do if we were spending our own money and they will put in an order for this, which will increase the deficit, which will eventually increase taxes. They don't have anywhere near as strong an incentive to contain costs/search for alternatives that we do because it's not their money or their problem (until they manage things so poorly that they cause a currency crisis).
Doesn't mention if you have some granular control over deletes. Like, if an object has migrated, can you delete it in a way that it's not re-fetched from AWS? Or in a way that it is?
If this was a thing, there must be middlemen who organize these deals. Have you checked?

I doubt a large company like google would approach individual authors. Generally these kind of things are done thru brokers or marketplaces of sorts.

Sure!

There's also the possibility that the author is trying to sound natural, as we do mention products/brands regularly in everyday conversations.
The same outcome could be achieved by instructing children on what Propaganda is, who created it, why it was created and how it has become akin to modern marketing and advertising. Attempting to reframe the perception of deception as "information warfare" is disingenuous to the actual battle at hand; which is Propagandists versus everyone else.

The implications of critical ignoring replace the foundational need for critical thought. The basis for your argument is fully set on anonymity. If the governments of the world provided nation-based social media structures where real people, confirmed as vested citizens, go to communicate, you would see a dramatic drop in "misinformation".

As it is now, misinformation helps the various intelligence agencies and media outlets sell eyeballs or distort truth. The idea we should take a "shunning" like approach to communication is draconian and misplaced.
Turn on weekly manifest to get a list of files and then you can delete based off that. Much faster and better then listing billions of files.
Typically, unstructured play is defined as playing without predefined rules or adult guidance, like playing on a playground or drawing pictures. The child is left to their own devices.

Structured play has predefined rules; for example, playing Monopoly, role-playing, or cooking with an adult's help.

Although you had to follow rules in a school setting, it wouldn't necessarily make your play structured, since you always have to follow those rules anyway; it's not like playing Monopoly, where the playing itself is governed by additional rules, and everyone takes turns, and follows a set structure.
I hope they can find something that works. I’ve visited the reef (same spot each time) twice, once in the late 1990s and once in 2016; the difference was shocking.

Get him a big print-edition atlas of the world. Tactile, it's not yet-more-screen-time, and the number of maps & level of detail in a good one could occupy him for hundreds of hours.

An atlas of world history might be similarly good, to give him some sense of how the world's geography keeps changing over time.

Make sense, I'll look into that.
Ask HN: What are good resources for managing the security of a startup?
I come from a research/architecture background in security and pivoting to a more operational security role (managing compliance, audits, annual pentests, vulnerability scanning, intrusion detection…)

Is there any awesome list of tools/integrations and resources to make that job easier?

Also if there are articles for managing security processes at startup size? For example, IDS require quite a lot of manpower which we don’t have…
Blood sugar levels are not something that needs to be babysat by a metabolically healthy person. We should be able to seamlessly move from being fueled by glucose to ketones. (Well, I suppose suddenly running out of available glucose because of strenuous endurance activity can sometimes be rough waiting for the switch to complete. Thing is, once in ketosis this kind of activity is easier as energy supply becomes more steady state)

The only broad concern I would have is being more prone to accidentally having too much calorie restriction for a prolonged period, where metabolism reduction, potential thyroid issues, and potential nutrient deficiencies can come into play based on highly individual thresholds.

I also suppose some people who fast, especially on very low carb/carnivore diets can sometimes experience the exact opposite of your concern, their blood sugar levels can become constantly elevated, seemingly induced primarily by elevated cortisol, though also seemingly effected by other complicated individual factors like the kinds of stored fatty acids they are burning.
> For USA companies, the problem with Asia, India, and even East Europe is timezones.

I've seen more of a mentality and attitude problem than timezones. Often these other offices are just treated as 2nd class citizens without enough context to act.
Yeah, this.

There are a hundred absurdly impractical comments for every half-practical when it comes to US politics (or global politics which US could/should lead). I habitually scroll over ideas so brilliantly revolutionary that they wouldn't even qualify for bad sci-fi literature.
> It's aimed at a situation where almost always, every step in the `?` property chain will go through, but we aren't able to statically prove this fact to the compiler, so in some cases we want to just branch out to a fallback path where we presumably log some debug info and then die more or less gracefully.

Yeah, my head canon for this idiom is "or die", which is like a bashism/Perlism (maybe a little odd because I've spent maybe 30 hours w/ Perl 5). I kind of like Go's "must" idiom, where functions prefixed with "must" panic by convention when things go wrong, but as you point out it's not compile time.

It looks like I didn't read too carefully before; I assumed this was in the context of some kind of boolean conditional because it was inside "if", but "if" here is doing pattern matching because it introspects types to see if they have an ":else", which means it's doing essentially what like, Rust's Result does. Am I wrong here? I think your example essentially boils down to:

match op(op(op?)?) {
Some(var3) => { /* do if stuff here */ }
_ => { /* do else stuff here */ }
}

I think this is essentially, yeah, Result and pattern matching.

> But that's why I have `breakelse` as a separate keyword: because `?` is put together out of the two lego pieces of `case` and `breakelse`, you can, if you want, put them together in a different configuration with little extra effort.

I can't think of an instance where I'd be happy to see code jump out of an "if" with "breakelse". It seems like if you're going full result types then you need to go full pattern matching. I think that's how you give your users the ability to reconfigure this stuff. The syntax for it can be a little clunky, but most other languages get around it w/ stuff like "?" and "if let".
So you are an expert in these things that you don't trust other experts? Catastrophic collapse is not really something generally assumed on the 2-3 degree warming path.
>Blocking Tor is purely a customer configuration

Help me out here: What's the modern way to hire?

Because if it's not asking for a cover letter, you as an applicant are one of 160 low-effort resumes we've gotten this week. Do we build a ML to try to parse all these and then ask it to score everything? Because I hear a lot of people in this thread saying that's exactly what they hate about hiring.
>Looking over the part where you imply that the MacOS App Store is the standard way to install Applications on MacOS

That is the standard way. An app that has its own custom installer or patcher/updater is by definition, using a non-standard install procedure.

But even if it wasn't, it definitely is the standard on Linux, where package managers are the norm.

>The application developer grants their app the entitlements to read user files.

Flatpak works in exactly the same way.
Yes, but the algorithm is optimizing for clicks, not curation. Curation is a much more costly process requiring humans in the loop, which often leads to cries of censorship (e.g. my otherwise popular article is being unfairly down-weighted). Clicks are much easier to track and provide a lot of signal.

I'm not saying that Google can't do better. Clearly they have mismatched incentives with their users due to advertising. Moving organic search placements below the fold to increase ad revenue is a major issue, but isn't akin to prioritizing clickbait.

Instead what I'm saying is that due to Google's dominant market position they are under higher scrutiny if they start labeling certain media outlets as frequently generating clickbait and down-weighting them, where smaller search engines like Kagi can get away with that without being labeled a manipulator.

That said, if Google did allow block lists like Kagi, that could go a long way, but likely would still lead to complaints about bias.
They created this document for those exclusively using CF services for hosting content including Video: https://www.cloudflare.com/service-specific-terms-developer-...

In particular the following line should enable it:

> Unlike most Cloudflare products, the Developer Platform can be used to host content.

Also see https://blog.cloudflare.com/updated-tos/

> Over time, Cloudflare’s network became larger and more robust and its portfolio broadened to include services like Stream, Images, and R2. These services are explicitly designed to allow customers to serve non-HTML content like video, images, and other large files hosted directly by Cloudflare.

> Video and large files hosted outside of Cloudflare will still be restricted on our CDN, but we think that our service features, generous free tier, and competitive pricing (including zero egress fees on R2) make for a compelling package for developers that want to access the reach and performance of our network.

(of course this is not legal advice)
I don’t live in the states, but I think it is weird that hotels are allowed to advertise rates before VAT, unlike basically any other business.

And it just seems like a common thing globally that hotel and event tickets are allowed to advertise wrong prices.

Why do they tend to get a free pass?
Anyone doing serious traffic with AWS will use cloud front and then you get additional savings on-top of that and you can negotiate a better rate then provided depending on usage so some people pay way less then the advertised price.
In Swift this is more sanely and maintainably handled without a breakelse anonymous goto

> I have ~350 tabs open … stock browsers suck

I can’t but think of https://xkcd.com/1172

Products are designed with a certain workflow in mind. Back when people would open a website at a time, nobody needed tabs. Now everyone uses tabs, but relatively no one needs to organize their tabs. It’s acceptable that browser don’t make their UI extra complex for a vocal minority.
They call this "KMart Realism" sometimes, KMart being a chain of discount stores that was prominent way back when, comparable to Walmart. The idea is to enhance versimilitude by dropping in signifiers from contemporary consumer culture.

King, as you note, does this a lot and his name often comes up when people are talking about it: he was in fact one of the first well known authors to use this device regularly. I agree that he's definitely overdoing it these days.

Can anyone share a polished workflow for converting handwritten notes on paper to plain text ascii (by this I mean an open-source OCR pipeline)?

Of course, I can transcribe my handwritten notes manually. But there is friction there that keeps me lugging a laptop when I can, and simply doing without note-taking when a laptop isn't available.
Surprising to see them ditch their cloud product. Especially considering the number of startups out there based around offering a cloud database.
I am saying we already on a path not in the catastrophic collapse space and we need and will be able to handle things, because we need to for far more problematic things in the future anyway.

But how can this method be accurate due to mass urbanization/concretization as that increases heat instead of eg a forest?

This would then apply that it's not "global warming" but merely the effect of concrete heat capture and emission and not CO2 related?

How can they then say this is "human gas pollution related"?

Where am I wrong (serious question)?
Sad reminder that “whataboutism” isn’t a valid defense in court
Sure, if you're a business that has to burn money on servers anyways, but a lot of people avoid AWS for side-projects and non-business applications because it can easily balloon to over $100/month with just a few services and moderate traffic.
In our case the job ad says: "Stand out from the crowd and help us get to know you better by including a cover letter. Share your tech interests, explain what drew you to our company, or tell us about any relevant experiences. We're keen to see signs that you've chosen us thoughtfully."

So we aren't looking for a love letter, ideally it'll at least demonstrate that you've read our job listing.

Because at this point I'm pretty sure that 90%+ of the applications we are getting haven't even looked at the job ad, they are just spamming their resume to everything.
If you need to use the move button, the move button needs to stay on screen. I may be the only one, but I regularly position windows partially off screen when I only need one side of the window and I don't have enough desktop space for the whole thing.
