> Can you explain why they didn't try in 2012? Or why she didn't try while he was in UK custody prior to his bail?

I think the prosecutors own justification, which she stated quite plainly is both valid and convincing:

There was very little reason to put effort and resources in conducting an interview with Assange, since he would need to return to Sweden for a fair trial to be conducted.

She was, of course, proven correct when after the interview, Assange continued to refuse to return to Sweden for a number of additional years. Had they conducted an interview after 2 weeks, the outcome would have been the same.

> You see why people question her motivations?

Given Assange's behavior, no, not really. She seems to have made a plainly correct judgement of his actions and resources, and attempted to treat Assange like any other defendant, at least until he turned the situation into an international political incident to try and avoid trial.

> If the trial was conducted fairly, I would take no issue with it.

Note how in the very next sentence you leave the door open to object to any trial on the grounds that it wasn't sufficiently fair. This is my point, Assange's defenders cannot really be placated. There's always some thing to be concerned about, some reason to believe Assange is being treated uniquely unfairly. It's reminiscent of how Trump and his supporters cry out about how unfairly he's treated by the legal system, when in fact both are treated quite normally, Assange just made things worse for himself by turning himself into an international fugitive out of conspiratorial fear.
Show HN: A tech job board I've been building over the last 8 months
Hey HN! Quick TL; DR: I set up scrapers for the websites of ~20k tech companies, fed the results through GPT, spent some sleepless nights building a web app, and voilá.

I started this after getting fed up with how slow LinkedIn felt. I finally got it working and easy to use, so I wanted to share it with you guys.

The job list is free. But I’m currently paying a lot of money to OpenAI for all the data I’m passing through GPT, so I may end up eventually charging for some advanced features, or putting ads on it or something.

Please let me know what you think!

I’m actively developing this so I’m happy to add requested features.

Some technical details you may be curious about:
- I began gathering the career pages for each company manually, but I ended up hiring a few Filipino contractors to speed up the process.
- I run the web scrapers once per day.
- I do the web scraping with Node.js. I use cheerio for basic web pages, and puppeteer for more complicated ones.
- My OpenAI API dashboard tells me I process 7 million characters per day.
- The list doesn’t encompass every single tech company (yet). I have most of the major ones (~20k), but the process of adding new companies is pretty labour intensive so it’s still ongoing.
- The web app is built with React, and I got the infinite scrolling to be so smooth using a great library called React Query.

For feature requests, please leave a comment here or email me at dorfmanjames@gmail.com
Hey hey! Thank you!!

Still, pass. Seems weird to fear standing on the shoulders of giants for fear of appropriation. And to be clear I think you sharing your opinion and expertise is great, theres just this element of 'leave it to the experts' when we are talking about a sort of bodily understanding that my culture seems to utterly lack that I disagree with.
I think it's notable that when people talk about how "broken" the public school system is, they are almost inevitably talking about America.
It was rubber, but natural, not synthetic.

(I think modern tyre shapes at 1920s rubber prices might have cost a significant fraction of the car? Back then, they were not only small and narrow compared with today, but they were also much thinner — which is probably why Bibendum, the Michelin Man, is made of tubes)

The Allies miscalculated with the Maginot Line, because they hadn't realised the Axis might invent and produce synfuels.

The Axis miscalculated with cutting the UK off from its rubber-producing colonies, because they hadn't realised the Allies might invent and produce synthetic rubber.

Ask HN: Have you successfully migrated away from Authy for 2FA?

I think it's a bit overblown. I don't have OneDrive enabled or Teams on my personal device and it was easy and mostly forgettable. I haven't any issues with it coming back after an update or anything. Edge isn't my default browser either.

I feel like people want Windows to be evil so they oversell the issues.

That's not to say that Microsoft should be forgiven for their obvious over-promotion of internal products. They really need a strong hand to rein in all these departments with their own metrics and agendas.
Let's see how really decimated tories will be. If will Reform get more votes than Conservative party then they become leading right wing party in UK and natural candidate for leading the country.
Just wait till they find out about how the enterprise deals work. Free windows licenses with Office 365, with retroactive blowup clauses that charge the back-dated windows licensing fees if you ever stop using Office 365
Same here. It's where I spend 90% of my time working with Helm charts and I absolutely despise it.
I've been trying to think where else this could apply and can't come up with anything. Farm labour doesn't keep the food, factory labour not the products, shipping not the packages. Accountants not the bank accounts or company ledgers. As a programmer, code that I am paid to produce is not my code to keep. The code wouldn't exist at all if not for the particular business domain that was not mine in the first place.

The example above is also about keeping public clippings of their work that they sold (were paid for). It would be like taking screenshots of a public website or something and that being okay. [added] I also don't know if they can repost a story on a personal website, I would guess the NYT or who ever would not want a paid reporter's website to steal traffic by creating a kind of fan base and probably pay the more well known reporters more than rookies because they drive viewership.
So what? The vulnerability was patched. I assume hiding the details only helps the company save-face.

In my last job we literally had "classes" teaching us how to deal with Asian colleagues (specifically in China, but SK has the same culture) who would try to hide things and save-face at literally any corner possible; I remember my old boss' example of "when walking down a street in Beijing, if you ask somebody directions to a street that they don't know, they will adamantly indicate that they know and it's that way (a random direction) in order to not say they don't know the true direction. I didn't personally buy the classes and saw it as a generalization and racist (unsurprising, given the manager leading this class is born and bred in Poland; not exactly known for its diversity or.. external knowledge of the world or Asia; also the majority of the team had never left the country before so had no other viewpoint or angle to base these classes on), but it just confirmed my "trust but verify" approach to things.

The relevance of my story is that if I hacked or found some security issue with the Chinese colleagues, I was instructed to not in any circumstances communicate it in a way that may make them feel like it was an issue of theirs, that their code or infrastructure or whatever was hacked: it was _our_ fault for not telling them in advance that they can't do that specific action or whatever.
It's not actually what they said as written though. Your quotes do not come from their post, they reflect your own interpretation. I'm suggesting that this interpretation differs from my own and what I assume is the original posters intent. (FWIW, they say the same thing.)

I also don't interpret the other replies here to be saying the same thing as you. They're discussing the idea that getting caught trying to have an affair (that happens to be fake) has interesting parallels with getting caught trying to buy drugs (that happen to be fake). You're accusing the poster of trolling.
My favorite Teams bug and it took me a moment to understand the stupidity of what was happening: you copy a message you have received from someone and send it back to them. It is invisible on their screen. You have dark mode so what you copied was white text, which ends up being white on their light mode Teams.

Nowadays I just get irrationally angry at the utter imbecile that decided you want to copy an abbreviated date and the sender name whenever you copy a message.
This is the thing: Windows admins praise Windows when they are running a completely different edition of Windows with different configurable behaviors. It looks a lot different for home users who almost certainly do not even know what a GPO is. And this also raises the suspicion of which exact Windows edition those admins are running on their home computer(s) and how they obtained the license for that...
Xylitol is not an artificial sweetener.
This kind of assumes liquidity... A lot of wealth is tied up in stocks and physical assets. Imagine having to orchestrate selling 2% of everything you own every year. And why over a billion, why not put it at over a million, or ten?

You could seize the full assets of every US Billionaire and it wouldn't cover a single year of the federal budget or dent the debt. There's no way to tax out of this hole... spending cuts need to happen, and restructuring as well. Taxes should focus on points of exchange.
Why not exploit the absurdity by opening a short position then?

Google's Music app (not Youtube Music, which is what it turned into) was mostly fine. The UI was predictable, being able to upload your music was great.
This so much. Things I don't know the name of or technical jargon for I can now give an example then ask what is this called? Then go from there

I've found the same for setting up my environments. Before little things that were minor quality of life issues that I just didn't know what to search for, or couldn't be bothered to go hunting down in the docs, I can easily give an example and ask questions about. Little things that I put up with for years are all now resolved and I'm realizing how much nicer having a lot of little things not worth dealing with individually gone is. I don't have to put up with little things because I can't context switch for a day to figure them out, but I can spend 10 minutes with AI to resolve them without much brain power/context switching on my part.

In the IDE/tools/frameworks I use so many little things that 'it would be nice if it did this, but I don't have the time to figure out' are now resolved.
"relentless economic pressures are pushing people away from socially important careers."

I think the problem is that there is a loss of faith and trust in journalism, both as a vocation, and as a service to society. The reasoning is that if people trusted journalists more, trusted their reporting, then they would want to seek out that reporting. People are turning away from the journalists, which is leading to reduced budgets, layoffs, etc. It's all just a part of a larger systemic problem: How to encourage people to want to read the news again.
Sounds like we need a decentralized equivalent of the IA.
Chute to drop a key?? That's too much, something that light should be dropped by streamer. Less vulnerable to wind and more reliable.

Long, long ago I did model rocketry. Using too much chute was not a good thing because it could go so far off course. The high power rocket guys do it with two chutes--a drogue that deploys high and then the landing chute that deploys low. But that requires electronics and certifications and the like. In the lightweight stuff there's nothing fancy, just a delay built into the engine after which it burns through the top, momentarily exhausting into the interior.
Software supply chains feel like one of the Internet's last remaining high-trust spaces, and I don't think that's going to last long. A tidal wave of this is coming. I'm kind of surprised it's taken this long given how unbelievably soft this underbelly is.

Like actually why the fuck would I be pro-Russia? What's in it for me? Seeming edgy or something? Do you assume I'm unable to read the room? I'm a liberal computer nerd from a highly liberal locale. It's obviously so much easier to just agree that the US is bringing democracy or freedom or greater security to eastern Europe. Why would I bother unless it was actually deeply disturbing to me the more I earnestly dig into it? Have I been brainwashed by Russian agents through the internet or something? I am willing to accept this I just don't think that's actually the case upon close inspection.
I don't think this is the best approach. I am building https://phase.dev which lets you import secrets (.env), encrypt secrets (end-to-end encrypted with keys you control), sync them to other services/platforms (think AWS, GitHub, Kubernetes), and inject them into applications at runtime (e.g., phase run node index.js).

> if you double the amount of residential area in a city, where will it go?

You don't need to double the area, you just need to double the density, which is easily done by eliminating exclusionary zoning. The scarcity is artificial.
Ragas is an eval tool which needs ground truths and queries for evaluation. FiddleCube generates the queries and the ground truth needed for eval in Ragas, LangSmith or an eval tool of choice.

We incorporate user prompts to generate the outputs and provide diagnostics and feedback for improvement, rather than eval metrics. So you can plug your low scored queries provided by Ragas, your prompt and context. FiddleCube can provide the root cause and the ideal response.

This is an alternative to manual auditing and testing, where an auditor works on curating the ideal dataset.

I think there may already exist a jq alternative for every letter of English alphabet. Why not just make a tool that specializes at transcoding csv/json/xml/protobuf/etc, and leave querying to any of dozens of these utils, that already exist? So that I can write qq input.xml -o json | jq '.' | qq -f json -o hcl? It's not like the intention is to bring something new with regards to querying lanuage, the "real stuff" is just an heuristic transcoder of popular data serialization formats.

You'll probably not get many answers here because the list of what you're looking for is so long with a quick Google for "open source pos systems".

What you'll learn when you get into this is:

1) Accepting credit card payments is a service which needs a cut of that transaction to exist and be a functional financial network, so looking for open source software can't eliminate that cost in isolation.

2) There's a reason small businesses still find it worthwhile to pay for a POS system (usually with a monthly service payment). Because self hosting can often be beyond the expertise of the user, and even if it's within their expertise, they might decide their time applied elsewhere is more lucrative.
What I'd imagine you'd find is that some businesses may choose to gravitate towards the free and open solutions not because they lack money, but because their needs are complex and niche and it's worthwhile for them to spend time and money customising and hosting.
going back to rolling it yourself, or relying on a few high quality stdlib providers that you likely have to pay for.
I dream of Helm adopting CUE as an option for chart templates and values. They are both written in Go, which makes the integration a possibility. I've played around with a wrapper that renders the CUE to to Yaml before running Helm, which effectively means helm is deploying hardcoded templates, lifting the values/templates merging out of Helm proper.
Obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/638/

I completely agree. We haven't been looking very long and very hard and we're not even that sure what to look for or where to look. All we can say right now is that we do not see any unambiguous signs of ETI, but space is called space for a reason. We are also searching the vastness of time.

I don't completely dismiss ET-origin UFOs. I don't think there's anywhere near enough evidence to make such a claim as anything more than a hypothesis, but remember that one possible answer to the Fermi paradox is that there isn't one.

I'm surprised there is no mention of subresource integrity in the article. It's a low effort, high quality mitigation for almost any JS packages hosted by a CDN.

EDIT: Oh, it's because they are selling something. I don't know anything about their offerings, but SRI is made for this and is extremely effective.
People have been proposing "pay as you consume" systems for decades but no one has ever figured out a sustainable business model. The overhead of accepting and distributing small payments appears to be too high, especially after dealing with fraud and chargebacks.

I have always assumed that the first moon colony would be on the north or south pole to avoid this issue. Not too hard to imagine a solar array set up to track the sun with a very slow rotation. The colony itself would be in a crater to avoid direct sunlight and provide a place to dump the heat from the solar array.

Otherwise the need to bring enormous power storage to handle the half month of darkness and bitter cold makes solar a bit impractical and the only other reasonable alternative is nuclear power.

The big problem with attempting to exploit the temperature differential is that it happens on such a slow cycle that the total amount of energy available is quite low.

But if the dependency from a CDN is already cached, it will skip an extra resource and site will load faster.

I agree with the points though.
I'm still not convinced that this isn't your throwaway, and that this isn't a way to throw me off.
There are a few problems with beeswax, given the very low supply and high demand the price of real beeswax is an order of magnitude greater than paraffin wax, so there is a very large incentive to at the very least mix in some paraffin. Also much of the beehive foundation sheets are made of adulterated wax.
But even if you managed to find some real beeswax, given that bees are collecting pollen from many fields that have been treated with pesticide the harmful substances tend to accumulate in the beeswax and the concentration increases every year if not filtered correctly, and given how hard it is to filter it from fatty substance you might end up with some in the wax.
> Making it UB in ISO C ensures that no portable program can rely on a specific behavior

This is true.

No, this is not true. In fact, it is the opposite of true.

If a program cannot rely on behavior, it cannot rely on having the behavior that causes the bug to be visible.
After a couple of years without taking a single one, a couple of months ago I bought a Smint lemon package, I used to love them as a kid so why not taking one for nostalgia's sake.

Since I'm not that used to artificial sweateners ( I dont drink coke or anything related to sugar ), the taste was noticiable inmediatly, it didn't bother me, it was just a curious feeling of being able to detect it so quickly. I ate like 3 or 4, those things were addictive.

What bothered me was what happened a couple of hours later, I had a massive stomach bloat and ache, higher than normal body temperature and generally felt like I was gonna throw it up and I couldn't hold it. After an hour of lying in the sofa I said that it was enough and indeed, threw up my dinner that night.

To my list of things I don't eat, xylitol was added inmediatly, I have never felt so sick, so fast in so little time.

Plea deals and innocent people being pressured into accepting guilt is a huge problem in the US criminal justice system, but I'm not sure Assange in particular fits this.

I had this conversation countless times with developers: are you really ok if someone hijacks the CDN for the code you're including? They almost always seem to be fine with it, simply because everyone else is doing it like this. At the same time they put up with countless 2FAs in the most mundane places.

The follow up of "you know that the random packages you're including could have malware" is even more hopeless.
