Does media consumption include "conversing with guests?" The sofa is the place everybody goes to chat unless we're having a meal.

Frankly, we'd probably use it a little less if our dining chairs were more comfortable, and I do think there's a very good case to be made that dining room chairs are more important than the sofa, but nonetheless, I really don't think a sofa is especially tied to TV culture in any way.

If we're going to be doing something rather than lazing around or eating, we're not going to be in the house at all.

weird. I just logged in, and I can't confirm that this is happening. all of my reviews are still properly anonymous. my account knows my name and my email address, of course, but it does not appear anywhere on the site where I don't expect it to.

I'm not real sure what this means - as far as I can tell, 'bowls' are just the equivalent of fb groups, and while there are a few automatically added to your account initially, you can just leave them, and proceed with an empty list of 'bowls' you follow (or whatever the terminology is)

what am I missing here?
This is a terrible take. Just because thieves exist we should all lose the right to repair our own stuff if we so choose?

If they want to pair parts that's fine, but not providing the calibration software or whatever is NOT.

regarding the exceptions, I think a better situation would be NO exceptions, rather than claim bills like this are useless because of exceptions.

Ah cool -- we weren't familiar with OpenAdapt. Will check it out.

One big decision we made was to focus on browser automations (instead of computer automation like Adept or OpenAdapt). The reason for this was that we wanted to leverage the information available inside of a DOM to improve the quality of our agent's actions. We found that relying on image-only analysis with X,Y coordinate interactions wasn't able to offer high enough reliability for production workflows

I have an Ikea Lillberg sofa from 2005 that I never dreamed I would hold onto as long as I have.

Every time I've moved, I think this will be the time I replace it, but the joinery has stayed rock-solid, the wood has aged beautifully (though I admit this is likely owing to a lack of pets or children) and even the upholstery has never pilled or visibly worn (though I keep thinking about ordering a replacement slipcover set from Comfort Works, which makes aftermarket upgrades for long-since-discontinued Ikea products). And the minimalist, Danish-influenced style somehow never looks out of place no matter what else I put around it.

This article has me thinking I may yet keep the Lillberg for years to come.
I am not going to claim my experience applies to everyone, but I think calling it a political tool is, at the very least, on the right track for many workplaces.

I like working for my manager, and think he is a very rational and no BS kind of person. However, I have butted heads with the upper management above him at times for what I believe are good and legitimate reasons.

During my last performance review, I had to fill out all the typical questions and surveys that us grunts are forced to answer. While reading/answering some of the questions, I just get this sinking feeling that it's all just a dog and pony show. So, in a moment of distraction while filling out all the questions, I decided to go talk to my manager directly.

I simply asked him to his face, "Is there any answer I can supply to these questions that will change the opinions of upper management about me?"

All my manager said back was a simple, "Nope!"
As a man, I liked that feature. Writing a good first message is hard. Women rightly complain that a lot of men put no effort into it -- or worse, make an effort to be awful -- but being good at it isn't easy, either.

Well the article is about glassdoor, which is where you write reviews.

You better believe that if databrokers will buy information on whether you updated linked in that they'd also buy information on whether you gave the company a 1 star review.

Heck, you can even post your salary to glassdoor, so maybe your next employer would buy that information so they know the least they could offer you.
My take is the reason why there is such an emphesis on specific experience (and not just being smart) is modern web apps today are very sensitive with a slew of libraries and frameworks built on top of each other, in a multiservice environment each with different flavors of technologies. Someone coming in fresh without any experience with all of the libraries and tech are just not going to success.
Here’s my secret: my every day is a slow day. If they don’t accept my slowness, they don’t deserve my quickness.
> As a Rust dev myself, can we stop the trend of adding "in Rust" to titles?

tbf it's the headline of the Readme.

More generally I largely agree for software. I don't really agree for library code like this though... I actually care about what language a library is implemented in when I'm coding up a project that might use it.
Fully agree with that. But you've just stated one of the major problems the software industry has in general. There's almost an inevitable flow that leads businesses that feed on VC funding to develop like this. They will turn shitty because they are as big as they should get, but not as big as they must get.
I find it very disturbing how fast we forgot that millions of people died not long ago. How can it be that there is no memorial day or something?

Happy to see people working on vector search in Rust. Keep it up!

As far as HNSW implementations go, this one appears to be almost entirely unfinished. Node insertion logic is missing (https://github.com/swapneel/hnsw-rust/blob/b8ef946bd76112250...) and so is the base layer beam search.
Actually, it isn't wild at all. People consent to all kinds of stupid things without realizing the consequences.
No they won't. The disconnect between computer programming and law is a rich and perennial source of amusement here on Hacker News.

What happens if the manufacturer decides to be unreasonable, by saying that no industry standard of certification is acceptable, or just the one organization they founded themselves, or that sort of thing, is that they get a sharply-worded letter from the Oregon DA. If they don't sort it out then legal action will be taken. So they're not going to do that in the first place, because everyone actually involved in this stuff already knows that.

The law isn't compiled. Its function relies on a common understanding of context which is the major course of study in law school. If a CEO ordered a company to do the sort of thing you're proposing, it would be against the advice of council.
The reviews might be real, but the order you see anything, say Top 10 hotels in Indianapolis, is the result of an auction
> Are there any good solutions that would convince a non-technical judge?

The judge in this case is actually very technical so that's not a problem.

Regardless, the easiest and most direct way to timestamp something is to use the standard RFC 3161 timestamping servers. There are many, located in different countries and run by different people, and the format is straightforward and standardized. Support is built in to products like Acrobat. You can attach multiple timestamps from different sources to a single file. They are free. It can be explained to non-technical people in a not extreme amount of time, and courts / law firms in any country can easily find expert witnesses who can verify such timestamps and testify to the court as to their veracity.

For emails there's also DKIM, which signs email including the date header. Again, plenty of people who can verify those signatures, so emailing something to someone else and then getting a copy of the raw email will do it (don't email to yourself, that skips the signing process).

Disclosure: I took part in this trial as a witness and testified against Wright.
I don't understand who hands out the certifications. Apple?
Why do you think that was an excuse for ICE vehicles? That’s your own biases showing. I’m anti-car in general, and very pro public transit.

EVs aren’t going to be the savior of climate change. They do some things better than ICE cars, but do some things worse. Denying those worse things is just putting your fingers in your ears.

This seems to me like a lack of people skills on both sides of the conversation.

Not feeling great today? Keep it to yourself or at most tell people who depend on you for something critical today. Avoid all work that isn't urgent and important. Communicate as necessary and expected.

Other person not feeling great today? Don't ask them to do anything that's not urgent and important. Feel free to ping them via message on random stuff, they're not doing work-work anyway.

Any of that feel like too much? Person fucked up, they should have taken sick leave instead.
Aw, bummer. You're right of course.
There's little consideration for the times where this isn't some sort of voluntary choice. "If you’re not feeling well enough to work, don’t." is fine and well if you've got unlimited sick days, never get sick, or don't have any sort of disability.
You're quite correct about the Lack. They're cheap as hell (15 bucks at time of writing?), but as a result quite manipulatable, such as creating 3d printer enclosures [0]. You can see some of their insides as they go through the process.

IKEA is beloved by many in the US and generally one of the most specifically in-demand brands in the market for used contemporary furniture. You might just be in an unusual region or had some other reasons why your listings didn't perform the way you expected.

That said, I am one of those people who doesn't get a lot from them so I can speak to some of criticism. Part of it is just the aesthetic, and theirs doesn't match how I decorate my own space or what I usually feel good around. That's just the nature of aesthetics, though, and there's always going to be some difference in taste between any two people and any two regions.

As for quality, though, I think the critique you hear reflects the quality of their budget products. If you're eyeing modern or euro designs at a fancy furniture studio and then go to IKEA to find a cheap approximation, you discover that much of the cheapest stuff has the same flimsy glueboard, peeling laminate, and unstable joinery of the cheap stuff at Wal-mart.

That shouldn't rally be a surprise (cheap is cheap for a reason) and doesn't hold true for their mid-range and higher products. And heck, it's not even really fair when Walmart and Target furniture isn't any better, but it's enough to keep feeding the reputation.
I'm not accusing you in particular, but a lot of people will say that a "second amendment advocate" couldn't hope to fight against the government out one side of their mouth, and then say that the January 6th nonsense was a legitimate threat to the government out of the other side...

They can't both be true.

My problem is that I don’t even know where to buy _good_ stuff. I don’t want to pay $5k for a couch, but maybe I will _once_ in N years, for some large N, if I know it’s very well made and I like the design.

But I have no idea where to go for this. The overlap between junk and luxury is too large nowadays.
> I assume that was just someone who made tooth brushes?

Yes.

> Was that really a popular job?

No, but that's not the point. If you looked up census record occupations of the era, you wouldn't find a lot of "rotary-machine operator" or "polisher" either. It's one example of an assembly task that was part of manufacturing at the time.

> I would assume, hopefully correctly, that the gun laws in DC were put in place as a reactionary measure to gun violence and not as a preventative one.

It sounds like I'm on the opposite side of the political spectrum from you. That's fine, I'm just giving context :P

I think the causal arrow goes the other way. People raised in rural areas encounter firearms far more often - and in different contexts - than people raised in urban areas. When the only times you see firearms are on the hips of law enforcement or in the hands of criminals, it's reasonable that you will develop a very different view of them.

In other words, I believe that on a statistical level support for gun control is proportional to the population density where people spend their early lives.

I also believe that the lack of firearms in the hands of everyday citizens encourages violent criminals to see them as a viable and relatively effective means of coercion.

> This is why as a socialist I live in the middle of (R)edneck country.

I spent about a decade as an Anarcho-Capitalist in socialist country. It was... an experience, that's for sure. It reinforced my belief that the people are far more apt to compromise and understand opposing views when they spend time face-to-face with people who disagree with them.

It's true that most people consider Wright a silly clown these days, but the chilling effect against Bitcoin development is hard to quantify and, I think, wholly real. This is why his latest loss makes today a good day.

It's hard to minimize the opportunity. It is more feasible to detect and respond when people take that opportunity and transmit abusive material. Which Meta is doing, and investing a lot of resources into it's CSAM detection infrastructure. People criticize Meta when they see statistic like "over 90% of detected illegal content comes from Meta" when the irony is that this is because Meta is one of the best at detecting illegal content.

Before clicking on the article I assumed it was Citus, and was surprised when it wasn’t.

Maybe because CitusData was bought by Microsoft around the same time, so Microsoft could create “Azure Cosmos DB for Postgres Cluster”, yet another one of Microsoft’s typical product naming crapshoots.
It doesn't help that they've put in little effort to improve their platform. With all of the money that they've spent giving away games, they could have instead dedicated resources towards building a something akin to steam's community and rating system.

>"my manager will use this to fire me"

For me it is more like: "my manager sees that I'm looking for a job", and I really rather tell him that I will be leaving, as soon as I'm certain of a new job. It's none of his business before that point.
I know this article isn’t tech related, but it relates to employment in general.

I’m torn between feeling sad that phenomenal people with rare abilities under terrible circumstances can’t get the most basic of care unless tied to an employer… on the other hand, I’m glad that there are organizations who care when they have 0 incentive to care.

I pray to work for a company that cares this much about their people. I’d be willing to take a 50% salary cut simply because money is an ends to achieving happiness- if that company cared this much about people, I’m sure they’d do other small things that ultimately brings me happiness.

Don't get me wrong, I like manga and anime as well. And it's not about gender equality. It's that these type of images (unhealthy big breasts, trying to force their way out of way too tight clothes) give a unwelcoming impression to women.

Even if a lot of your friends tell you "I don't mind", believe me, deep inside they feel at least slighty uncomfortable. Women learn to pretend, because if you speak up, you'll be excluded. It's that simple.

Next time you need to choose an image for your project, ask yourself: "whats the message I want to get across" and "do I realy need boobs for it?"
