Okay, well you are wrong about that.
In Denmark you can normally buy it for a small extra fee. My previous ISP didn't really understand the meaning of a static IP and announce that after having performed service in the area any customers with static IPs would get a new IP... making it specifically not static.

Most normal households don't get static IPs, but on the other hand they change very infrequently, so they are practically static.

Czech pronunciation is actually very close to Italian (and both close to Latin). We don't do the "ce" and "ci" and "gn" things (we do a "di, ti, ni" thing instead), and we use diacritics to soften certain sounds (ž,š,č,ď,ň), but even ignoring all that and plowing right through, an Italian speaker pronouncing Czech text should be easily intelligible and even spot on for some words.
Most people will move jobs at a certain point for more money. Some people will move jobs every six months if it means getting more money, though, and no-one wants to hire someone who'll only stay six months.

I remember when I was a kid, my dad would get mail from the bank with punch cards. Checks? Invoices? Bank statements? No idea what they were, but I was fascinated by them.

I'm pretty sure he did a lot of work with punch cards himself, although pretty soon we had a printer terminal with keyboard calling his work mainframe over an acoustic modem. We played games on that thing and wasted tons of paper. No idea what the phone bill looked like.
Has the content changed?
This is a good point. Carrion birds are so good at this that their disappearance in India led to an increased number of carcasses on the ground and has helped the stray dog population soar.

Edit: I actually see dead pigeons on the street from time to time. If there is no nearby park with patches of dense woods, there might not be that many carrion birds in urban areas.
I think that's too much 9s if you consider everyone who would run a home minecraft server or some other small scale personal server if having a static publicly addressable IP was easy and simple.
If it was _just_ people not wanting to hire job-hoppers, then you wouldn't have gotten the interviews in the first place; if your work history makes you unhireable for a company, they're not going to bother interviewing you, because interviewing you is very expensive.

Is returning to Amazon an option? They seem to be hiring at least to some extent right now.
What a silly reply. Yes, there are many studies about the consumption of hazardous chemicals, including gasoline. There are even many about just the fumes -- no need to regularly drink it.

My point: The "hair on fire" comments about nano plastic still hasn't been borne out by peer-reviewed scientific research. I recall on HN someone mentioned that a recent discover was that tyre dust is a large potion of micro plastics in our world.
That's an interesting historical and semantic question.

So there may not be any such thing as a "wild pigeon". Pigeons were domesticated so long and widely that all modern pigeons in the wild may be the feral descendants of ancient domesticated pigeons. But we still view modern pigeons as just a thing that exists out in the world.

If street dogs have been a self-sustaining population for long enough does that change their classification? What if the population of street dogs is older than many of the cities they inhabit? What if the population is thousands, ten thousand years old?

They totally avoided the obvious "light amplification but with an IR-pass filter in front of the photocathode and/or a photocathode that is particularly IR-sensitive".

It all comes down to truth in advertising. Such misrepresentations are very common these days. Even Signal is not entirely innocent here. Signal only has the potential to have end to end authentication/encryption. By default you trust Signal, Twilio and the phone company. The app/documentation does not make it entirely clear to the user that verifying the "Safety Number" is critical to establishing an end to end connection with someone. From the Signal documentation:

>Verification of safety numbers is a good security practice for sensitive communication.

It is perfectly OK for a user to trust, say, Tutanota to not take an affirmative action to get access to their messages. We need a way to express this sort of tradeoff and providers should be required to put this expression where the user can see it and understand it.

Not necessarily. Sometimes the naive or not optimal works just fine, especially with such powerful hardware. They don't care if a web app is made in electron if it works and is snappy (most users aren't opening up their task manager to measure cpu load).

Show HN: Vaettir-React – Control Inverting Agent Library for React Apps
A few years ago, I needed a module to maintain a complex and multi-layered application state of a react-based desktop app and its underlying infra. Then I realized I needed more than a passive state-management lib --Turing complete and concurrent agents capable of resolving the chaotic asynchronous inputs and signals.

Vaettir is an agent writing library, and Vaettir-React binds the agents to invert the control of a React application.
Instead of piping user-generated events into `setState` and `useEffect` hooks (which often grow unmaintainable past a certain complexity threshold), Vaettir agents can optionally run on their own, typically by means of async loops. It is written similarly to multi-threaded programs written in lower-level languages. A simple abstract example is an agent that pools concurrent user and network events (e.g. clicking things while the app is fetching for something), merging these incoming requests, and then processing them sequentially.

Vaettir agents can be passed into many components either via props or context. As a side-effect, it can be used as a state-management library with flexible scoping.
Its custom channels can be subscribed by different React components, allowing for semantically meaningful selective re-rendering.
Last but not least, provided optional hooks bind the agent's and the component's lifetime (i.e. when mounted, the agent is created; when unmounted, the agent is destroyed), optionally with a `[dependency, array]` style of `useEffect` hooks.

Yes and no.

In these programs it is standard to mark the animal in some way. In NYC, for instance, you clip the top of one ear of a cat after it's been processed.

So you catch ten animals, immediately let go any ones that have been marked, process the last one or two -- still more effort to catch, but less effort to treat.
The Amiga and Atari ST were home computers not workstations, their UI had to be usable on the crappy TV sets most households would have owned back then. When you account for that obvious difference, their UX was broadly on par and even sometimes superior to the early Macintosh, especially wrt. multimedia.
I appreciate this.

HN scares me sometimes.
Show HN: A Chrome extension that summarises MakeMyTrip hotel reviews
Why did I build this?

A lot of things we buy online have an element of subjectivity. Just booking a hotel with the highest rating is often not the right choice. So we typically scroll through many of the recent customer reviews to get a better sense of the hotel listing.

LLMs are very well capable of doing this for us! Typically we go to an LLM like ChatGPT, and we ask our question, but I think that more and more these assistants will come to us by being integrated into the things we use everyday.

Till that day comes, we can augment existing websites using extensions. I've built a Chrome extension that will summarise any MakeMyTrip hotel listing for you and give you a quick pros/cons subjective review of the hotel. Try it out!

I would like to hear from you - does this seem useful? Could we tweak this in a way to really expedite our decision making process for hotel bookings?

Technical Sidenote
Context window matters a lot when trying to summarise text in any LLMs. Till now GPT-3 supported only 4K tokens, but since yesterday it now supports 16K tokens, which means I can now summarise a larger number of reviews, this is an immediate improvement that I'll make in the next few days.
> and is definitely not a waste if you need it.

Well then 99.9999% of the people don't really need it. But if one decides to run their own mail server at home (to save those 5-10-20 per month for their mailbox) it's worth the trade-off.

For me that's the thing. Privacy AND Security. Especially when you got something 'listening'/waiting.
This number seems a little bit off. About 900 million pigs are slaughtered in Asia per year [1] That's 2.5 million dead pigs a day. Since we need live animals to breed more for killing them and it takes time before they are killed, this suggests that at any given time more than a billion pigs are alive in Asia.

But good thing that we sterilized those 150000 dogs, anything else would have been inhumane [2]

Why arent there any courses teaching web development in Python?
Before anyone jumps in and says “because front end is built in JS” hear me out:

- There are lots of web development frameworks in python: Pyscript, Anvil, Reflex, Atri, JustPy and many, many more

- The docs or mini courses for these jump straight into “how to do a web thing that we already know but in Python”

- No course out there teaches the basics of the web like fetching, async, dom manipulation with Python not even the PyScript stuff which has a mandate to teach people web.

- I had to learn JS before i could understand the courses that teach the basic concepts of the web

So HN, why is it this way?
I'm the only user on this internet connection, I am pretty restrictive with what I run, my Unifi controller shows no unexpected devices in the last month (and that covers the time window the site claims), and my librenms graphs of my router's interfaces don't show any traffic spikes at the times the site claims that a torrent client was last seen.

edit: and I've been the only user of this static IP for a decade at this point.

I'd say that's pretty conclusive?

How are they in general to deal with? I was in touch with them last week and there were red flags abound. They don't respond to emails, but would rather spam my phone. The price kept increasing from the first point of contact, and they finally wanted me to pay a bill where fees again were unspecified. When I asked for a detailed, itemized bill, they ghosted me.

You are right: borders don't matter - in reality the disease is eradicated well beyond the borders. Also keep in mind that many animals aren't great travellers, especially so if infected by rabies.

Claiming eradication is based on continued evidence from robust and internationally recognised monitoring and eradication programmes.

It's a good idea. CBC without verification is vulnerable as well. An attacker can modify the IV and the value will still decrypt. It's quite easy to change a what plaintext will pop out the other side and the client will be none-the-wiser.

Toxic toddler fruit pouches: "high" lead levels sicken 7 in 5 states
> The book is way broader than Wiki, basically it wants "epistemological anarchy". Let scientists do their thing regardless of what the current view on it is. Only by pushing do we discover new things.

People here may be familiar with the exploration–exploitation tradeoff (which, by the way, has a Wikipedia article that could use some significant expansion by some people who are familiar). It is rightly pointed out here that there are areas where it is appropriate for there to be less discovery and greater focus on exploiting or validating existing knowledge, and of course, vice versa. One may propose also the possibility that there be multiple points on the spectrum that one could take even in the same field, for example, preliminary results may be shared as preprints before peer-review, yet even after review, post-publication review and replication are essential for robustness.

Still, it may seem odd that exploration, original research, is expressly prohibited on Wikipedia. But should we be without any such restriction, Wikipedia is written by Randy in Boise.

Your example is wrong. Gmail offers standard email services that you CAN access via a proprietary Google app OR to a regular app. I use my gmail account with IMAP via Thunderbird. As long as IMAP access is offered, everything is fine.

As a word of caution: Should you ever lose access to your gmail account, you run into deep trouble. I currently can't access my gmail. I know the password, I have access to my backup email but it won't let me log-in except if I am able to confirm it on my android phone. And my US android phone is out of service. I have to fly to the US to get this working again (Google project fi).
Almost as unhappy as if the upstream project failed and went away completely.

And in reality it depends a lot on my level of contribution. If I have dozens of lines of code in a big project, then who cares, all I really wanted was for my pet bugs to get fixed.

If I contributed major features or thousands of lines of code there, then I would be very mad. But I would also be very capable of maintaining an open source fork of the project.

I haven’t had any issues, but I just did everything in person. It isn’t as streamlined as WeWork, though.

I have heard negative experiences from people renting an entire office, but I only rent a desk.

Editing to add a few more details: their app and tech stuff is a little clunky and not as good as WeWork's. You have to pay via an invoice system (at least in my EU country) which is again a little clunky. Otherwise I haven't had any issues with billing, etc. – but I reiterate that I only talked to the guy on the phone to set up a meeting, and then did everything else in person.
