Russia doesn't frear NATO - see their reaction on Finland joining it. Also the pipelines were not the reason for invasion. They were the opposite - a deterrence. As soon as Russia built pipelines that were circumventing Ukraine, they decided to invade, thinking that the gas transmition would't be in danger now.

In San Francisco the Republican Party is marginal (and broadly despised by the electorate), so you can think of the "progressives" vs. "moderates" as sort of the local version of two parties, mostly within the Democratic party.

Lots of people seem to have poor opinions of Elon specifically because he does this sort of thing.

That seems to be working as intended.

And we're never going to fix the "money buys away consequences" problem. F.ex. I'm not beholden to chefs' opinions of me, if I can throw 100x average salary to get one to work for me.
I can't believe the lengths people here are going to trying to defend his behavior. There's a reason influential people shouldn't be publicly calling for others to die in pain. Coincidental rap lyrics or not. Someone might just take you up on it. It's extremely irresponsible and dangerous.

Is it though? It sounds like the one company that got a contract in this situation is so far unable to come through on it and is well over budget already. It's not exactly a ringing endorsement for protectionism.
That was what the authors claimed when I asked them about the macaroon patent. It'd be nice if Google had a legal document associated with patents they never plan to enforce, or the constraints around when they might enforce them (e.g. only against patent trolls) that a company could rely on.
I still don't understand (as a DAW author) how there are so many more people doing various graphics tasks on computers, and relatively speaking so few significant apps to do them with, whereas there so many fewer people doing stuff with audio and more than a dozen serious contenders for the toolbox.

I only interact with these at ice rinks; they've all got laminated cheat sheets pasted to to score table; and the control box is fixed in place. not like in a high school gym where the control box has to come and go.

Our home rink was built in ~2000 and had a "high tech" system with a palm pilot driving the scoreboard. It got replaced by a computer running a java webserver and internet explorer maybe a decade ago. A lot more friendly for a novice, but the daktronic wired remote switch to start and stop the clock is a lot nicer than having to hit a small click target area. And I could see a skilled operator getting to the point where they could touch type the control box; gotta have eyes on the screen for the web based system (no hotkeys; or at least they're not known by the team parents)

Your question aside for a moment, for what it's worth, "they" do not say this, that's Malcolm Gladwell misinterpreting research, according to the researchers themselves. See e.g. https://www.inc.com/nick-skillicorn/the-10000-hour-rule-was-... or google `10000 hours gladwell researchers` or what have you and you should find plenty of skepticism and/or failed replication results. My recollection is that Freakonomics or Planet Money also did an episode with the researchers explaining what their data actually said (IIRC the takeaways were more about deliberate practice). I'm sure others in the field may have more to add on what the science actually says (so your question is still of course a good one).
You misunderstand. Musk received equity (shares), not profit. Under his leadership the value of those shares reached $50B.

Tesla's market cap grew from $40B in 2019 to $1.2 Trillion at its peak in 2021. Now it's at $600B today. That is the total value of all Tesla shares which is now 15 times more valuable than it was in 2019. https://companiesmarketcap.com/tesla/marketcap/

Yeah, there's an important gap between engaging visions of casting cool magic versus (boring) practical streamlining and abstracting-away.

To illustrate the difference, I'm going to recycle a rant I've often given about VR aficionados:

Today, I don't virtually fold a virtual paper to put it in a virtual envelope to virtually lick a virtual stamp with my virtual tongue before virtually walking down the virtual block to the virtual post office... I simply click "Send" in my email client!

Similarly, it's engaging to think of a future of AI-Pokemon trainers--"PikaGPT, I choose you! Assume we can win because of friendship!"--but I don't think things will actually succeed in that direction because most of the cool stuff is also cruft.

Doesn't it just communicate that you got in to YC?
> In an office it's easy for a new hire to ask a question or get someone's attention. When remote, how does the company communicate culturally? Is there an expectation for response times? If not, what internal tools and resources are there that allow a new hire to self-solve common issues?

How is this any different in office vs remote? All of this should be written down in the company manual, at least for a well-functioning org. What is the mistake here? Onboarding folks is literally communicating “this is how we do things around here”

> Materialize no longer provide the latest code as an open-source software that you can download and try. It turned from a single binary design to cloud-only micro-service

Materialize CTO here. Just wanted to clarify that Materialize has always been source available, not OSS. Since our initial release in 2020, we've been licensed under the Business Source License (BSL), like MariaDB and CockroachDB. Under the BSL, each release does eventually transition to Apache 2.0, four years after its initial release.

Our core codebase is absolutely still publicly available on GitHub [0], and our developer guide for building and running Materialize on your own machine is still public [1].

It is true that we substantially rearchitected Materialize in 2022 to be more "cloud-native". Our new cloud offering offers horizontal scalability and fault tolerance—our two most requested features in the single-binary days. I wouldn't call the new architecture a microservices design though! There are only 2-3 services, each quite substantial, in the new architecture (loosely: a compute service, an orchestration service, and, soon, a load balancing service).

We do push folks to sign up for a free trial of our hosted cloud offering [2] these days, rather than trying to start off by running things locally, as we generally want folks' first impressions of Materialize to be of the version that we support for production use cases. A all-in-one single machine Docker image does still exist, if you know where to look, but it's very much use-at-your-own-risk, and we don't recommend using it for anything serious, but it's there to support e.g. academic work that wants to evaluate Materialize's capabilities to incrementally maintain recursive SQL queries.

If folks have questions about Materialize, we've got a lively community Slack [3] where you can connect directly with our product and engineering teams.

You know how it's a meme that Tesla scores low on ESG, while Exxon or Shell or whatever scores high?

G for Governance covers this.

They looked at executive pay, they looked at their internal controls. And Tesla historically, has faced, you know, a lot of governance issues.
You wanna know what's worse? There is an SPAM Scoring Monoculture, dominated by BrigthWorks, Symantec and another firm that escapes my mind right now.

It's not exactly the same as omg.lol is owned by someone who sells subdomains of it. The principle for .name was that the second-level domain was not in control of anyone (well, except VeriSign of course, but just like TLDs), it was a shared domain.

That wouldn't matter. "Exorbitant privilege" is a thing but it's not that much of a thing. Notice Argentina, which has the opposite of our privilege, still gets loans - there's no other set of countries for lenders to go to.

The reason it looks like we have magic fiscal policy and Europe doesn't is that Europe just loves austerity and refuses to print money basically because they're stubborn. They could and should do it too.

A whole slew of authors and influencers have tackled this exact question. There have been books and even TV series about it. Not a lot of practical advice has come of it.

The big takeaway is that improving the quality of your practice, instruction, and mentoring is the biggest force multiplier. You can become very good at most things by experimenting and trying different things until you find what works, but you can skip past much of the trial and error with an excellent coach.

The problem is that you're not going to find a world-class person to teach and mentor you. You can often find high-level people who write books or teach lessons, but the top talent is usually either focused on their craft or retired. There are a lot of influencers who want to sell you on the idea that they're the best (or that they have learned from the best and will teach you like Tim Ferriss) but the actual results from those programs are rarely worthwhile.

The best thing I've found is to practice frequently and then aggressively engage with communities surrounding that thing. Post your work, participate in other people's projects when you can, join communities, or give presentations and ask for feedback if you can. Enter competitions early and often so you can realize what the best actually looks like in your field (and hopefully be motivated to get there).

I haven't seen much success from people who just isolate and put hours into a problem. Even the famous "self-taught" people pull a lot from resources available to them.
Ask HN: How to remove UTM parameters from URLs in Chrome
It seems Firefox has a dozen different extensions that will remove UTM parameters from URLs before they are visited.

The Chrome WebStore on the other hand has 1-2 extensions and they don't work as expected.

Unfortunately, I need to use Chrome for work and wouldn't like to keep inspecting URLs all the time for UTM parameters that are used for tracking individuals.

Are there any other solutions (extensions or not) that would help?

Sure there are plenty of use cases but no real significant traction for the everyday consumer. Price fluctuation is wild, would hate to have this has a "currency" that I hold to pay the bills. Even ignoring the volitility, the transaction costs historically have been high enough that it is not attractive from the consumer lens. Not FUD.
imo the biggest issue was not the content of the tweet itself but the getting really mad and drunk tweeting. neither particularly professional nor politically wise for someone who is the head of a major institution in the startup world and a figurehead for (much-needed) political reform in sf. the actual words having crossed the line is sort of downstream of firing tweets from the hip while mad and drunk.

he basically needs to step down from the podium now or he's going to hurt the cause of making sf better, which is really unfortunate.
Similar. Snowmobile Farm and Sandbox Farm both appear to timeout with no response.

However, that said, the idea itself is a neat idea, and could quite easily be turned into game ideas somewhere.
I don't think the parent wants to eat their cake and have it too; they're torn between having the credentials or abandoning them because it's embarassing. And who can blame them? I've never said the words "Y Combinator" outside the West coast and got a positive reaction.

YC can have political opinions, but they should acknowledge the opportunity cost of putting their politics before their community. Behavior like the one linked in the OP is incredibly petty and probably should make the associated parties feel bad about working with that kind of person. Lord knows I feel ashamed to be an HN user today.
Yeah I hear what you are saying about services bloat, but the timing of today's XD discontinuance leaves me scratching my head. If this providing a web design / prototyping service was so valuable to Adobe subscribers that Adobe were willing to pay 20 billion for it, surely it must still be worth something to Adobe to prevent subscriber churn today. I don't get why Adobe would abandon a foothold in this corner of design, offering a good enough service is still compelling when bundled when all their other products.

Three explanations I can come up with are: 1. Maybe XD was a huge cash hole / or massively underperformed in some other metrics, 2. If Adobe cant dominate a market they take their ball and go home, or 3. Maybe more charitably, Adobe bigwigs still like Figma and have some sort of personal incentives to walk off the pitch and offer their competitor a massive open goal.

Is this how corporations are supposed to act?

They say it takes 10,000 hours because you need time to explore, fail and learn from failures. Your best bet is a mentor coupled with total immersion in the area of interest. Keep in mind a great mentor can only shorten the time by a few thousand hours at best.
Well, nobody is really interested in the test to find out they have G at SNP 12213244243 either. They do it specifically to get the ancestry, health, and potential physical bias type information you mention - that's the only real data anyone is talking about when referencing the test. Plenty of companies would love to have that kind of data to target users with.

The real killer would probably be around how useless healthcare regulation could make having most of that data. I'm not sure how far that really extends or what you manage to sign away by sending in your sample though.
> Do you guys have any plans on releasing a tool which could be used for diffing filesystems?

I don't think we have any immediate plans for this, but it's an interesting idea. I think you could use graphtage for this (since it performs an IR transformation to do diffs against arbitrary graph-shaped inputs), provided you're able to transform your FS changes/metadata into a graph-shaped object (even just a JSON array of events).

More specifically, assuming you have a journaling FS, I think you could do something like "record the journal for the period you're interested in, and then build a graph of (event, inode) items during that period." But there might be edge cases I'm not thinking of.

Why are wire money transfers so much easier in Europe than in North America?
On a recent trip to Czech Republic and Germany I learned about just how easy it is to send money between bank accounts. From autogenerated QR codes that folks can scan to send money, to paying bills in restaurant directly from their bank accounts, I was surprised just how easy it is. Money moves immediately, minimal fees, no third-party vendors or credit card companies profiting on top of it. On the other hand, in Canada, you have to go through Interac, Paypal or other vendor to send money immediately, or have to go in person to a branch to initiate a wire transfer, which can take days. Why are banks not pushing for easier solutions around this? I don't understand why it is impossible to just initiate a wire transfer online, if I have all the necessary info (IBAN). If this was about fraud detection, how are banks in Europe handling that?

Sure, perhaps that was a bit too succint. What I mean is that, as a customer of 23andme, I'd much rather know about some known genetic disease that I may or may not have than about wide-ranging things that affect everyone like stress and anxiety. It's just not as serious.

23andme went with the "only give very limited information" which I respect but is ultimately pretty much useless compared to just running your data against dbSNP and telling me that I have this or that marker for this or that disease backed by this or that paper.

Anecdotal, but whenever the topic of work comes up among my friends and neighbors, and I disclose to them that I work from home, 100% of them say things like "Wow, good for you!" and "You're so lucky!" and 0% of them so far have said "Sorry to hear that... you must really miss your commute and face to face meetings!"

I still use Photoshop because I know how to do a lot of things with it but I'd really like to have a similar app which is designed entirely around linear light. (It's not like the 1990s when I was always editing indexed color images) They are still keeping it relevant because of the generative AI features which I often use to touch up photos (remove a spot of grout from a brick wall, then add a row of bricks to center the pictures)

I still use Photoshop to print things like

(where I touched up the bricks) and have 99% control of printing photographic and non-photographic images (more than I can say for Lightroom) although I recently improved my workflow and now I have 100% control (specifically of margins) of printing the back side of my cards
