CEO Says Office Shooting Could Not Have Come At A Worse Time For Company:

If you actually know about this stuff, i would be very interested to hear the reasoning behind a cubic kilometre being a generous keep-out zone (and cubic kilometres even being a sensible unit for a keep-out zone). Since this is HN, my guess is you don't, but i would love to be wrong for once.
Headless CMS: A Turbocharged Transformation for Business and Brands
Tradition CMS often lag and become slow when there is traffic.

This is due to its monolithic nature of managing and presenting content simultaneously. The result is customers leaving and search engines ranking down the website due to bad performance. All that can change by having websites and apps run as Headless CMS.
I call that weaponized dogmas. It’s at least better than people who insist on being DRY by writing an inscrutable generic helper function which will only save 3 or 4 lines of code duplication.
How is it any less bad for someone else who didn’t build the thing to decide what is done with it?
I've been reading a book that was highly recommended here on HN a few months ago: "Nature's Metropolis", and just finished a chapter that explains this.

Back in 1868, there were essentially just two rail networks in the US - the eastern half and the western half. They met in Chicago. The operational model was very different, and the presence of Great Lakes shipping (with low summertime shipping rates) kept either side from trying to expand to be truly nationwide.

In essence, a timetable relative to Washington D.C. showed Sacramento just as an example. No railroad went from D.C. to anywhere west of Chicago. Not only did you change trains, you changed railroad companies.
Lax regulations, presumably. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongasat :

"Tongasat is the licensed agent of the Kingdom of Tonga responsible for making and coordinating Tonga's satellite filings to the International Telecommunication Union and then licensing those satellite filings to international satellite operators for their commercial use, in effect a flag of convenience for space. Tonga was the sixth-largest claimant of orbital slots due to Tongasat's efforts.[1] In 2002, Tongasat launched the Esiafi 1 satellite; as of 2015, a satellite in its spot was still in operation."

Starlink named this constellation ESIAFI II.

Starlink provided free internet services to Tonga last year after a devastating volcanic eruption and tsunami.

The mistake is that many (most?) devices use batteries in series as well as parallel. So as soon as someone builds a 2S battery with nominal 7.4v, mAh is useless as a sole datapoint
Only few results which might be cached in the cdn are showing.

Maybe it's under maintenance
Marketers like big numbers. A 3500mAh li-ion cell is more betterer than the same 12.6Wh cell, because 3500 is a bigger number than 12.6.
People want runtime estimates. Often for fixed voltages. There comes Ah handy. Stop complaining people do "stupid" things before even Googling what it's for.
Sorry, i put all secrets in my code. I don't need 12 factors at all.

It's super easy to deploy to multiple environments, because code is single source of truth.
In what world is loom something no one asked for? I, and my team, use it everyday and have at my past two jobs as well. For engineers it’s a life saver being able to share a quick video of some code and the bug youre getting (or asking what some piece of code does) and also forcing junior engineers to do this for a PR guarantees the feature works/is a form of QA.

Yes, but it's one more mental operation, and every mental operation like that is relatively costly. People don't actually have that many slots of working memory. You are optimizing to minimize digits, which is probably the wrong thing.
I didn't in the actual math. I just wrote with the slash to make it easier to read than wattsecond. You'll see I did do 1 watt * 1 second. Please stop being so pedantic. I edited it for you though.

Either way, I (and most other humans) will probably continue to use watthours instead of joules for most things, as most people will probably agree 5W for 3 hours makes more sense as 15Wh instead of 54kJ. Joules are too small a measurement for a lot of practical applications. Needing to multiply by 60 or 3600 to get to minutes and hours gets frustrating.
To be fair, the Ireland case for EU seems more understandable. The EU has an economic union, and consumers still pay local VAT.

If EU doesn't like one country has too low tax rates, that's an EU matter.
I bought a variety of magazines in the 1980s (Modern Photography, Scientific American, etc.) and I felt you really got your money's worth in content. Before the end of the 1990s, magazines had become much thinner and content was lame and outweighed by ads. I don't think I bought any magazines after about 1998. Was the Internet wholly to blame for the change?
Boring. This is already happening in any sane modern application.
I'm not an expert, but as a (former) drone enthusiast, it's probably because of C values. C values tell you how quickly a battery can be safely discharged, and it's based on the amperage. Specifically, it's a direct multiplier for the amperage. And for batteries in the before times, the voltage was clearly printed on the battery, as was the mAh and C values.

Stastsmodels and that github page are the only reason I have some understanding of statistical tests.
If a 300kg satellite at a 300 mile orbit becomes 20,000 pieces, those are pretty darn small pieces. Objects in space regularly get hit by <1cm micro-meteoroids. They may become disabled but they don't shatter. And by being so small their mass/area ratio becomes really small and they deorbit within 90 minutes from that altitude.

I think you are describing GNU auto tools. It ends up being too complicated because projects have anti-dependencies with each other.

The Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard also tried to do what you are saying, but in a less ambitious way.
Good luck getting VC money that way though.
In my opinion, it’s not something you should try to do all at once. Install Emacs, even the normal “vanilla” Emacs, then start using it. (If you’ve never used it at all, start with the tutorial.) You can configure things as you go. You’ll probably keep trying new options and packages for the rest of your life, spending a few minutes here and there as you try new things or hear of a good idea from someone else.
From "Popular culture" section of the linked article:

In the soap opera General Hospital, Colonel Sanders of KFC makes a guest appearance because someone is trying to kill him to obtain the secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices. He knows Malbolge and is able to disarm the destruct sequence.

That's... quite an approach to product placement
There are two important numbers when it comes to batteries. Volts and Amp/hours. Watt/hours is simply a calculated value. Why provide watt/hours and force people to back-convert to amp/hours?

Watt-hours is only useful when comparing batteries of different voltages, which is not a very practical thing to be doing. For batteries of the same voltage, amp/hours is a simpler and easier way to compare.
IIRC it was prednisone.

A sane replacement for slack that focus on making your life easier, and get actual job done by levering the concept of "threads" to make them first-class citizens that bridge the gap between instant chat where direct communication is needed and task manager where you need to declare a discussion to be open or closed.

They side with the "Deep Work" philoshopy, and encourage (written) async collaboration.
I just signed up. I think the way they explain in blog posts how they navigate a very tricky business model ("pay us when you fail" is the mother of perverse incentives) is highly admirable.
Reduced sugar and salt for me. I was told I have no reason to have tinnitus (including the fact I don’t work in loud environments, use headphones cautiously, etc.)

Two years into a “I’d like to be fitter and healthier” lifestyle change and I’ve watched my diet influence tinnitus massively.
Goodharts' Law applies to money too. Government action need not be as draconian as a centrally-planned economy to push incentives just enough to eliminate the worst excesses. How much is 'just enough' is, of course, up for debate. But the answer is not 0% just as it obviously isn't 100%
Reverse-Engineering the "Irish Logarithm"
Transfer pricing is sort of just a pile of black magic. Microsoft's American business is required to charge their European subsidiary some "fair market price" for the Windows intellectual property, but what is a fair price for a license to sell Windows on the European continent? Unlike with fungible goods, there is no established market for this product that the IRS can easily refer to.

In this case Microsoft is saying that some amount of their IP was developed by their overseas subsidiary and thus doesn't need to be included in the transfer pricing calculation, so in their process of making up imaginary amounts of money to charge themselves for their own products they also need to deduct that. If e.g. most of the Windows networking stack was created in Germany they need to figure out what percentage of the value of the overall Windows IP is added by the ability to connect to the internet.

Understandably, it's possible for reasonable observers to disagree on the values chosen here, this is not a case of black and white corporate misconduct (tax issues essentially never are).
This is more a reflection of the organizational structure that allows or tolerates such behavior rather than anything to do with the 12 factor app methodology. I think most reasonable people would agree that if you were able to incorporate most of the list, you’re doing alright.
An iPhone App Beat a Crowded Niche Using Creativity
I hope this comment reaches anyone suffering from tinnitus. My tinnitus is so bad that I’d … well good news is, I found a great way to manage my brain melting tinnitus.

Step 1: YouTube-dl this blessed sound: https://youtu.be/8indTo2ykPw?si=izyTOg4gYvnfsqZs
(Plz tip the guy)
(You should be able to tell just by listening to the sound that it immediately cuts out the tinnitus— if this sound print doesn’t work for you, there may be others that work better. But I have let other tinnitus sufferers wear my headphones and they all say it makes the tinnitus go away completely)
1a: (cut out the dialogue in the beginning with audacity)
Step 2: buy a pair of these waterproof mp3 ONLY (it’s an appliance) bone conduction headphones: https://a.co/d/aqqhPm9
Step 3:put the mp3 you ripped on the headphones and remember what a normal life feels like

The only times I realize I have tinnitus is are right before I fall asleep, right when I wake up, and once a day for 20 minutes when I need to charge my headphones.

And I want to emphasize my tinnitus sounds like the screaming sun planet on Rick and Morty. It’s really bad. But thanks to this technique I only experience pain a few minutes per day. Good luck everyone.
Dividing watts per hours makes perfect sense when making a statement about how fast a lignite coal plant can meet transients in load. ;)
The license on this is curious. They claim AGPLv3 and position themselves to be open source, but it's really Open Core with them being the only party who can make privileged non-AGPL plugins. Or, perhaps, if you fork it and add your own non-AGPL stuff only to the app/plugins/ subdirectory, you might also be in the clear? The exception is poorly worded.

And then the README and the LICENSE files list different exceptions to AGPL. I'm not even convinced that mishmash of exceptions constitutes a valid license.

> It also leads to good research being improved, in a very similar way to how code review can improve good code.

But the parallel breaks, as unlike with code reviews, there is no protection against (and the people below are real people I have encountered in my 10+ year research experience):

* A reviewer writing eloquent reviews on every single paper they ever reviewed, explaining why they should be rejected, as a gimmick at this point.

* Reviewers not taking time constraints into consideration. Doing this 2 year experiment would indeed make for a better paper.

* Reviewers not reviewing in a timely manner. Yes, you said you volunteered to review this. It has been 9 months since.

* Reviewers requesting you to cite their papers, however unrelated.

* I quote a full review I once had: "This paper needs more equations."

When code reviewing in a team, these issues get sorted out. In academia, peer reviewing is in a state of complete anarchy.

It had a five year run and saw four different hardware models. It included two hard drives instead of either one hard drive and an optical drive, or just one hard drive (after they ditched ODDs).

Mac OS X Server was its own operating system originally. It was still the same core OS, but had a ton of additional servers built in. Non-exhaustively, they included IPSec VPN, email, calendaring, wiki, SMB and AFS file shares (including support to act as a Time Machine backup destination), LDAP, DNS, and software update caching before it came to macOS proper. The Server app released via the App Store was a shadow of Mac OS X Server.

These were quite popular in small professional offices like law firms.
The real shame is that plastic is used on so many immediately disposable things like packaging. Plastics have so many legitimate uses with no other material substitute, the fact that we just throw away so much of it needlessly is a huge part of the problem.
You might want to take a look at FusionAuth (I'm an employee).

It's not open source, which may be a deal breaker for some, but it is "free as in beer". If you use the community edition and run it yourself, it is free for however many users you want. Also supports SAML (I know, I know, but when you need it you need it).

I think people would be disappointed if they did try it.

Even if people agree that they don't like the two parties, it doesn't mean that they agree on the same third party. Most likely, their last-ranked choice, but it's going to be named by the most people. The winner will probably be one of those two.

I'm all for it, especially if it makes people feel heard. Maybe somebody who made a strong showing can leverage that in future elections. Perhaps there will be a few candidates who can put on strong campaigns without a party support, and that will bolster confidence.

But I predict that the most likely outcome is that people say "It's rigged and there's no difference from the old way".
Because those people can be held accountable for their actions. e.g. if the US military decided to decommission GPS tomorrow morning the democratically elected government would be able to force them to change track.

Moreover these institutions are set up to make it very difficult for one single person to make a unilateral decision. Which is a good thing.
You mean W-h, right? Watt-hour, not watts-per-hour as W/h would suggest
Yes, I meant when you are away from your home office.
I dunno, if all the data is in the attention window it could slide backwards at the token level (something like "you are how hi" but sometimes tokens are subwords or superwords) The neural network doesn't know, however, how the tokens are spelled, so turning "hi" to "ih" ought to really confound it.

A character level model should be able to do it but character level models don't work so well in general as tokenized models do.
Coming from a deep, shameful corner of ignorance, but what's special about recording a screen and sharing it via the comms tool of choice (IM, Slack, Signal, e-mail)?

I do love the idea of sharing a screen recording of features though.

If that's not a reasonable conclusion in this particular case, I'm interested in knowing why.
This is part of the planned 42,000 satellites. Starlink has approval for 12,000 satellites, and this is approval for the rest.
I think perhaps the fact that you refer to advanced satellites, some of the most advanced and scientifically interesting objects humans have ever produced, as "junk" maybe reveals some personal bias.

It sucks that propaganda is producing people who are anti-science and anti-progress. As they say "Rocket man bad".
>> virtually no battery

> Behold <a single counterexample that is far less commonly encountered by consumers than phones, tablets, laptops, or external power banks>

EDIT: Ok, now you have updated your comment to also include coin cells, which is even less relevant. This just shows you don't appreciate what we're talking about here.

Consumers care about the amp-hour capacity of larger devices for various reasons. They need to figure out how many times they can recharge a phone from an external power bank. They want to understand how much less efficient their laptop is than their tablet. That's not what they do with coin cells or AAA batteries.

You have also ignored that we can express 0.8Ah. It doesn't have to be 800mAh vs 2Ah. Since things less than 1Ah are far less common for consumers, it would be logical to just show everything in Ah, and then represent those smaller things as fractional Ah, if we're afraid of multiplying and dividing by 1000.

We could represent all distances in millimeters just in case, but we don't.
I think it was prednisone. I suffered an intense inner ear infection that left me with tinnitus.
Sounds like roughly what the average stock or crypto exchange requires before they let you trade haha.
R and CRAN really get package management right. Even as a very infrequent R user, there are no surprises, it "just works". Compare that to my daily Python usage where I am continually flummoxed by dependency issues.
You need a lot more than a cubic kilometer per satellite, because you need an entire orbit around the planet.

You can't have one row of satellites orbit at the equator, and another row orbit at 40 degrees north latitude. A row is already difficult, they catch up with each other quickly just due to random perturbations and elevation differences.

Instead, each wrap of your ball of yarn crosses over the others. Each row intersects most other rows.
New Clues Suggest Stolen FTX Funds Went to Russia-Linked Money Launderers
That's me. I do love that Kagi is probably much more private than other engines, but the real draw for me was that it's a search engine that actually works well. Bottom line, that's what I'm paying for.

If Kagi became a bad actor with my data, that would just make them like the majority of other search engines, so big picture, I'd not be any worse off. And I'd still have access to a search engine that lets me find what I'm looking for without a lot of struggle.

It’s a bargain compared to their Series C valuation in 2021 of $1.5 billion.
This is taking "make up a guy to get mad at" a little too far.
This is a small but real trend. My experience at a company that went deep into expanding beyond/removing some of the 12 Factors is that it breaks portability of containerized software built with those assumptions. There were a few times I needed to install a vendor product or open source project that was built to the 12 factors but spent a month or more just building a shim to make it conform to our particular bend on it. I’m sure there are good reasons to deviate but I wasn’t particularly impressed with our decisions and more importantly why we made them.
My favorite things is when you connect to cell towers that have DST in one state, and not in another, the cell phone getting the time/date from "the network".
All directions.
I now think it’s best explained by simple economics. Academia and academics are the product of economic forces by and large. It’s not quirky personalities or uniquely talented minds that make up academia today. It’s droves of conscientious (big five sense) conformists, with either high iq or mere socio-economic privilege, who have been trained by our society to feel that financial security means college, and even more financial security means even more college. Credentials are like alpha .05, they solve a scale problem in a way that alters the quality/quantity ratio. If you want more researchers/research/science output, credentials and alpha .05 cargo cult stats are your levers to get more quantity at lower quality.
It is a bit overly simplistic to say that voters are the true problem with American politics. Sure, people are easy to manipulate, and, at the end of the day, voters are the ones actually electing these folks into power. However, the current two-party-system has done a very effective job of eliminating any kind of meaningful choice for voters in most places. (Not saying there are not differences between candidates/parties, but the gap between my policy positions and the positions of either of the candidate is greater than the gap between the policy positions of the two candidates....)
Meditation helps with this. Befriend the tinnitus. It is easy to let go of something for which you have only equanimity.
If it was 20 years ago then you probably don't have a brain tumor because those are caught very late and are often terminal. Mine is from some high impact sport injuries so there is no permanent solution but if someone doesn't have any special injuries around the neck and jaw area then basic exercises for reducing tension in the neck can be effective. Some people also have sinus and congestion problems which can be "fixed" with antihistamines sometimes.
The "passive radar" resolution on the WiFi frequencies isn't good enough anymore; the shorter wavelengths will allow imaging of individual cells.
Not everyone likes to think about how many seconds their devices will last. Hours are a lot easier to reason about.

Maybe so, but my interpretation is that there's personal opposition to change and improvement from people like Linus or TGLX or other greybeards. At least in the linux kernel world. The contribution by email is an antiquated approach and needs to go.

I’m not sure what enforcement would even look like. There aren’t enough jail cells and mental health treatment. And nobody wants to pay what it would cost.
