Makes sense. But this is exactly what i was saying: the tooling you're using makes it easy to set environment variables, and doesn't make it easy to add config files, so in this case, environment variables are easier to use than config files.

But there's no fundamental reason for that to be the case. You could imagine a very nearby parallel universe where Kubernetes config files don't let you set environment variables, but do let you inject files. In this universe, you can see other deployment approaches that make config files easier (Puppet and suchlike). And if you're building something from scratch, you can make the choice.
And it even matched the hardware back then. You could have the colorful blue Aqua theme to match for example the iMac G3 or the graphite appearance to match the design of the Power Macs back then.

How can grocery store have a 1% to 2% profit margin, when the price of the same item across grocery store chains can vary by 10-30% or more? I can't imagine it coming down to a store having higher costs alone.
> Scroll wheels and gestures are paging mechanisms, a scrollbar does that as well but it’s also a “take me to the middle of the document” control.

IME, only on Linux am I able to click on an arbitrary location beneath or atop the scrollbar and be taken there immediately. On Windows, it seems that clicking below the scrollbar is equivalent to scrolling down once. If you want to go all the way to the bottom of the document or webpage, you have to drag the scrollbar all the way down manually. I actually find it kind of annoying. I don't know about MacOS, as I haven't used it since I was a kid.

You know what else is out of touch? A lack of nuance. For instance the boom in tech is only one small part of the actual story. It gives several other examples such as price fixing in Ag, the rental economy, even tipping.

To your point, at the same time as the post-covid price fixing was going on The Fed was blaming inflation on "a current labor force shortfall of roughly 3-1/2 million people,"[1] which drives up wages, which drives up prices, which drives up inflation.

So there's truth to what you're saying (we didn't even get into stimulus checks), but there's truth beyond it as well, and this article brings up good points.

I don't think VC money cares whether you are soft on the employees. They are there to buy as big a slice of a small pie before it gets big. Anything you keep for yourself or give to your employees is pie that could be theirs. If they show up and you've already promised half the pie away they'll pay less for what's left, or you won't be one of 100 slices in their pie portfolio. Maybe you can convince them the motivated employees will lead to more growth, but it's not the type of thing they are normally swayed by.

I think the end result is that it's probably not possible to pay employees with meaningful equity anymore so you'll have to go back to paying them the old fashioned way with money. I know I'm no longer willing to take RSU lotto tickets and a pay cut to work at a startup.
> Yet it couldn't save neanderthalensis from sapiens.

This is what I don’t understand. Neanderthals were strong and smart. Did Homo sapiens kill them outright I.e. war? Or was it more of a outcompete and outbreed situation?
I think the key sentence is this:

> But you don’t see them bandying it around like a kid with new light up shoes.

Yes, because Google and other big players are not after VC money, while all the companies that put it in their marketing copy are.
I like the other comment somewhere on this post, the real uses will just be small improvements. I used image generation to make a quick favicon for a website, it came out nice enough, better then what I could do. I also thing the semantic search stuff with language as a query is pretty useful. I was able to download my emails, generate embeddings, and write queries for my emails better then what the Gmail search would do.
As the reddit comments state, "big portabello."

It's not blind I'm not blaming israel for anything israel hasn't chosen to do. No one made them do an ethnic cleansing, no one made them keep its refugees in a blockaded prison city. No one makes them bomb palestinian children and assassinate palestinian journalists. These are their choices and they are responsible for them.

It is a textbook example of a strawman. He is putting words in my mouth that I never said to debunk my post. That is exactly what strawman fallacy means. Lmao.

Another strawman. I merely pointed out it was a hoax, as briefly and straightforwardly as possible. I didnt say anything about any "narrative" at all.

It is very relevant when it was explicitely stated. Falsehoods must be pointed out. Relentlessly.

You think all the YC articles aren’t also peddling something? At least I’m clear.
Very good thoughts and observations here. As a solo founder of a SaaS, I'd add:

* $200K of income from $500K of revenue sounds low. There are places which have SaaS-friendly taxation, I'm lucky to live in one (EU, Poland) and 75% net margin for the entire business is easy to achieve. An 8.5% tax on revenue is a really good proposition :-)

* Support is key. I care a lot about support (I do it myself). It can easily get out of hand and become a chore, but that means something is wrong: if you listen to your customers carefully, you should be changing your SaaS so that less support is needed. I'm thinking about this a lot.

* We're talking B2B SaaS here: I also believe it is better to have more customers at lower price points rather than a few big ones. Big ones are difficult to get, and often have bizarre requirements. If you cater to them, you will alienate your other users. But there is a sweet point somewhere: you do not want to go too low, or you'll get customers that have very little money. These not only churn more often, they also often cause support issues. The sweet spot is somewhere in the middle.
Fully disagree, and especially with "always". Fortunately, it is trivial to show it is false.

What kind of shiny rectangle do you have in your pocket. Is it the cheapest option? Which company in that market makes the most expensive product? Which company in the market fares best?

And Cisco itself, for decades, was not only the most expensive network equipment in multiple markets but also bringing highest margins and biggest bucks.
It's mentioned briefly, but another big advantage of the Z-machine was being mostly hardware-independent, which was especially important with the wide variety of computers in the early 80's. The Digital Antiquarian says that Infocom supported over 20 different platforms at its height. [1]

I thought so too. I was able to delete a Square Cash account a few years ago when I was in US and they gave the same explanation that we are required by law to maintain records for some time. However, they did delete my account.

I do not believe any such law exists in India for UPI accounts. I do believe however that Google has chosen not to allow deletion of GPay accounts for some reason other than the law.

Also GPay requires location access to work at all. So its not just payment information, it is location information along with payment information.

In my opinion, Verity Stob wrote a much better essay on Unicode than Joel Spolsky

https://www.theregister.com/2013/10/04/verity_stob_unicode/

Does the interviewee know about Verity Stop?

I think that is just as much of a red flag as not knowing about Joel Spolskly (pretty much none)

On the other hand, if you don't know about Donald Knuth (at least heard the name) I would be concerned.

There are also immigrants who came to America who started businesses using their wealth from their home countries, like my in-laws who are literally revanchist counter-revolutionaries in exile.

You are falling prey to the 'mystical' problem, that the brain is unfathomable, and it is completely un-realistic to even try.

>" beyond the observable universe."

Equating understanding something that is actually physically impossible, to understanding something that is physically right in front of us? We can map brains, dissect them, model them.

It's engineering.

If we followed these arguments, then ancient man would have just thrown up their hands "what, everything is composed of little particles, you're crazy, it's beyond our understanding, stop trying".

Maybe the magazine used some hyperbole in the title of an article, that doesn't mean this isn't doable or that this isn't valuable step.

But - you do say, it isn't unsolvable. SO maybe we are agreeing in general, but not about the way articles hype things up.
Yep. And companies buy networking equipment, not sales experience. And when the networking equipment sucks, they are looking to find something else.

There’s no reason to believe that the NSA doesn’t learn and evolve from past efforts.

Changing rules on the fly and improperly applying said rules could be a way to select a weak option you can break while having stronger plausible deniability than what happened with Dual_EC_DRBG (which btw wasn’t actually confirmed until the Snowden leak). So here’s someone claiming NIST is being suspicious in how the algorithm selection happened. The rules really need to be set in stone at the beginning of the competition or before the phases at least. And you can’t pick diametrically opposed rule sets between phases (as happened if you read Bernstein’s letter), only tweaks.
No?

There is an area between being unemployed and making huge money with scams and shady tactics where you can make less but non-zero money and create real value for the world.

Not everything needs to be a VC pitch. People go into teaching (for example) knowing that it doesn't make much money because they want to make a difference, and plenty of them don't regret it.

I guess it comes down to this black box list of hashes that no one would want to audit for pretty obvious reasons. The authority is only as good as the person paid to automate the hashing process feels that day.

It’s not inconceivable that someone at the authority could put in an image known to be stored by someone else into the hash list just to cause an extremely scary and confusing month for that person.

To be fair, that’s also the same problem of say, someone at your ISP dislikes you. There’s always a chance your supplier has a “bad apple”. Maybe it’s not an issue but I get the idea.
I assume any tweaks to the assets and the way they’re put together will still be copyrightable though
The author is clearly aware of the problems... the TUI for setting up and maintaining the policies looks very efficient to use!

Very impressive stuff
The importance of "The Economy" doing well is baked deep into the American psyche: if the economy is healthy, the country is healthy. And "doing well" is understood to mean businesses are healthy (revenue/market/profit growth). That means working as much as possible, for as few benefits as possible, is the accepted standard. Because who wants the economy (and by implication, the country) to do poorly? And if some, or a lot, of people suffer from stress and mental breakdowns, physical injuries, or death, well, that's a price our business and political "leadership" is willing to pay. (Some sarcasm there, in case it isn't obvious.)

Recently there does appear to be more noise around employee/worker benefits (including wages), hence things like the striking screen actors and auto workers (and attempted strike from railroad workers, who have shockingly terrible benefits), and renewed interest in unions.

The health of a country ought not be measured solely by its GDP and financial markets.

> It will be cheaper though, which is the important part.

Indeed. For a long time, new nodes could be read as: more ICs/wafer = lower cost/IC = lower cost/transistor in those ICs. Or bigger ICs with more transistors.

Leaving it up to designers to choose between cheaper/smaller/lower power, or use extra transistors to achieve higher performance at similar cost/IC.

Maybe that lower cost/transistor 'law' doesn't hold anymore for these latest nodes? Or not as much as it used to?

Not saying Moore's law is dead! But it talks transistors/IC. Not so much about the cost of those transistors.

So maybe we're seeing some decoupling here between Moore's law & cost/transistor gains for newer nodes? If so, that would certainly affect market segmentation between products built on older vs. built on newer nodes. As opposed to the 'newer = better everything' we're used to.

Note this is just speculation on my part.
Is it widely assumed the thief is North Korea?
“ Allowing poor students from families that value education to go to schools with like minded students is an unequivocally good thing compared to what the public schools currently do.”

But it is sort of what schools currently do. The filter public schools use is housing. You have to buy a home in the school district. That is the reason real estate values are driven by school test scores. Because the opposite is also true: school test scores are a function of who own homes near the school. At the end of the day, maybe that operates better at sorting good apples from bad. I’m probably more in agreement with your line of thinking that making choice easier for poor folks could be best for society, but the selection effect is weaker if you loosen the filter.
They published verified photos of dead and burnt babies. You're grasping on literal straws.

> That still requires majority vote

This presumes open and direct confrontation, which means the relationship is going bad, and which I’d speculate most people would rather avoid. You’re forgetting a bunch of things, like what the investment terms might say about it, what your reputation is going to be down the road, all the ways people can apply lots and lots of pressure, how important networking can be, and the fact that in some cases the investor is providing other resources and/or might be the gateway to future investment. Getting to a place where you’re openly ignoring your investors and calling for a board vote to overturn them is a last resort, and is playing Russian roulette, not the first thing to try if there’s disagreement about their advice, right?
Ask HN: Compliance for EIDAS Defined Advanced Electronic Signatures
Hi,

I have some basic questions regarding eIDAS and 'Advanced Electronic Signatures'.
Say, if I create a product under my company Acme Inc that offers a simple electronic signature where I sign every completed document digitally with a digital certificate that attests to the identity of Acme Inc (while providing an additional certificate of completion where I attest to the identity of the signers).

Provided, my product can:
1. Uniquely generate signing links to the signatory with unique references to them in the database (be it guest or registered signers),
2. And if the link can be accessed for signing by the signatory by authenticating themselves (e.g: one-time 2FA code to their mobile, confirming their email, etc), and my product can uniquely identify them in our database along with their first name, last name, email, and the mode of identity verification in an authentic certificate of completion.
3. And if and only if the signatory could have had access to the signing URL and the 2FA code, which is under their sole control.
4. And finally, my product can digitally sign the completed document (with the certificate for Acme Inc) in a way that any subsequent change in the data is detectable.

Questions:
1. Would the electronic signature in the above case be considered as an Advanced Electronic Signature?
2. What sort of identity verification method is a) bare minimum and b) more than enough for AES?
3. Should I necessarily be generating individual digital certificates for all signers to be eIDAS compliant AES? Or is a digital certificate for my company (Acmne inc) with an audit certificate of completion good enough?

I've perused the eIDAS document but I am not able to find the answers. Could someone help simplify this for me?
My students Dianne, Pauli, Mikko and Juho tried [1] this. They wrote a blog [2] and a git repository [3]. It's not a ready to use product, but an exploration and learning journey to using machine learning for identifying signals.

Multiple steps are required to get to readable or audible output: identifying a signal, identifying modulation and demodulating.

I know you're not posting in good faith but I do want to underline two things, in case anyone else is reading this who is similarly dismissive as OP:

- they did kill her

- she was clearly not a witch, given that they do not exist

And given the dearth of warlock or wizard trials, it is safe to say that this was clearly motivated by sexism - viewing women as far more likely to be agents of Satan, just as Eve handed Adam the apple.
No, they'd be forced by the board to spend/invest that pile towards digging deeper trying to find a massive treasure.

Word. But nobody will heed their appeal to “stop it”. The hype is just too sweet, and too many people want to believe in miracles.
The stimulus checks are meaningless and not at all what I mean by "stimulus"

You can tell someone is a layman on the topic if they think "stimulus" refers to stimulus checks. What the gov and the fed did on the backend was so insane in scale, and seemingly few people actually grasp it, swimming in a swamp of "greedflation" and "wage war" articles. They actually think people like me are talking about a few dinky checks...
I'm a sufferer, possibly for the last 2 years or so. I'm so sure (soooo sure) that this is physical - albeit with some psychosomatic elements to it. As of right now I am reasonably certain that I have some kind of eustachian tube issue, or possibly even SSCD.

But - very glad to hear from lots of people, it makes me feel better :-)
I don't think that capitalism inherently implies "throw a bunch of garbage around". It's true that it may not be a priori possible to decide which way is the best - that's why competition is important - but that doesn't mean that everyone should purposefully run into a garbage direction just because of garbage trends and because the same few investors are funding all big companies.

It effectively turns the problem of finding good solutions to whatever problem (and often there's not even a problem that anyone can point to) into a brute-force search. I don't think that's efficient.
Makes sense! This interaction made me smile. You seem like a pleasant person, have a great day!
Again, this requires them having a majority stake and we’re discussing YC which is a seed round. The current company I work at is YC backed and the founder still controls 85% of the company
Corollary: If a product marketed as AI is useful, that's a strong signal it's a logistic regression.
