Yeah the whole reason I ever recommended a Chromecast to people was that it was basically dummy simple. You know how to watch Netflix or YouTube on your phone? Great, you know how to watch it on your TV too.

My mother who hates every piece of technology and gets frustrated to the point of tears when things don't work like they did yesterday was just fine with a Chromecast. There's no separate Chromecast to learn, manage, or deal with. It's, effectively, a way to mirror your phone to your TV.

I regularly recommended them to people even with Smart TVs and stuff. There were often bugs, UI issues, general confusion... "Just plug this thing in and then use your phone as a remote" added a lot of value.

I don't know why I'd ever want a "Google TV". For $100 what does this give me over the crappy Smart TV UI I've already got? Do I really want to deal with Google's privacy track record over Apple's to save $40?
Bess, thanks for sharing. Being proximate to death is often utterly overwhelming, experiences vary, they can evolve (and profoundly) over time. It's especially rough when someone seems ripped from us too soon, as in your case. I won't tell you how to grieve, as that's your own thing, but I'll strongly suggest that your feelings and responses are legitimate, and to the extent you can simply exist within them, that's probably for the best.

Your role in Jake's story really has been incredible of itself, and yes, you're the one who we hope will pick up the pieces and carry on, soon with your daughter all going well (words probably uttered and heard too often, I'm sorry). One. Day. At. A. Time.

It sounds as if you have support. Use it and make your needs clear.

I hate offering unsolicited advice but will submit to this one item: "How Not to Say the Wrong Thing" is a 2013 LA Times essay by Barry Goldman, which offers a "ring theory of trauma". The ring is centred on the patient, with immediate caregivers, family, friends, and others, ultimately strangers on the Internet and Space Alien Cats, in the outermost rings. Dumping flows out, comfort flows in.

It's the most succinct guideline for how to act around someone with a chronic or terminal condition I've found, and corresponds well to my own experience in multiple instances. I hope it's of use to you and those reading this.

I've been scanning HN for what we all know will be the final update. I pray it doesn't come too soon, or too late. Peace to you, Jake, Sam, and all.
With other programming paradigms, you can't just knock out all the little pieces without thinking about the other pieces because the state is all tangled up. Which slows you down.

Of course you can. I don't know why people think you can't write functions that don't change a global state in any programming language. Pretty much any experienced programmer does that whenever they can.
> or if my glasses were to break

was that a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Enough_at_Last reference?

I think your reference to time as a limiting input may be very close to the objection I'm groping towards in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39844527 , https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34160852 , and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33952298 ?
Use lead indicators instead of lag indicators. Focus on measuring your day to day focus instead of some long term goal.

How is "you're denied payments voluntarily made to you" anywhere close to "you get sent to the gulag"?
For simple access needs, in Firezone you would likely configure a CIDR resource and grant the Everyone group access to it, which mimics the setup of a traditional VPN. It is a couple extra clicks, though.
I don't think SF is an example of the place where the link between paying a lot of taxes and get the environment around improved is as obvious as you seem to imply.
I implemented faceted search on my own blog entirely on top of PostgreSQL. It works well, but that's because my blog has only 11,348 documents total.

> In the end the only way to do this is to allow the system to fail.

This may be the efficient way for systems under test, but for a live, production system there must be higher bar of performance than "let it fail". I agree with several of the points Malmberg makes (which my original sarcastic comment probably doesn't suggest), but his final conclusion of "let the system break" is alarming and dangerous.

> If you find yourself in a position of being a hero, you have to notice it and do something about it.

If I found myself being the hero, I would absolutely push this forward and do something about it. It's also a tragedy that this may actually result in the opposite outcome that you want (like being fired for "not being a team player"). At the end of the day, it's still human beings in charge of these sytems, which means handling our communications with grace and tact.
Wow, I've never seen Lotus Improv but so far there's a lot to love.

If you're not aware, excel has something similar to the formula system if you use tables, and in combination with LET and LAMBDA it's also pretty pleasant.

I've got the rest of the video to watch, but thanks for your comment!
They ran it up the flagpole. Got fingers rather than salutes.
It looks like they repurposed the OpenFlexure microscope with epi-illumination (IE, they pass laser light through the objective "backwards" to focus it down on the sample)
This is one of the straw-men. No one is complaining about you not liking what other people like. No one. Not a single person. Even the authors of these pieces wouldn't complain. That is not the point whatsoever and yet you are bringing it up in many posts.

People are frustrated that you insist on your 'opinion' being valid when the position you hold is void of a thought. It's actually a lack of an opinion. It's a tantrum. You have eyes, you have the time and perhaps even the interest to look, and yet you put your head in a sand and claim that the darkness you see gives you enough data to claim whether something has artistic merit or not.

The frustration comes from witnessing the blatant and confident ignorance, not from whether you 'like' or 'dislike' something.
Old people are lonely. It’s not complicated.

Yeah, I think it's surprising how websites don't get DoS'd more often.

DoS has become more of an issue now that all of the GPTBots are generating a lot more traffic. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40865627
Firefox, as a name, does have a history before chrome, as a name (I won't comment on their past lives) but since since version 4 firefox has done little but copy chrome. From the ui to extensions to drm.
Breaking down a large goal into smaller milestones could be a good “change of process” for you.

With smaller milestones you get the gratification of reaching goals often, projects are easier to start and you can retain the goal-driven mindset!
I actually don't think the removal of like views has anything to do with revenue.

I think they actually did this so users are free to like whatever they want without having to worry about getting vilified for liking something that is not supported by the majority. For example liking something political or anti whatever.
> There's also the Tor exit node route of using your users as a sort of mesh network to get residential IPs, but legitimate VPN providers are not going to do that because of the risk it exposes their users to legal liability.

Could there be a middle ground? Unless using encrypted DNS, the VPN has access to the website name, and could use a list of legitimate services that ban VPNs (like Netflix) and only then use their users as a mesh.
Great, another service that ex googlers will advocate for at startups with 10 customers and 2 Mb/day transfers. Because it scales!
The rules are simple:

Use auto when the local code shouldn't care about the type as a way of signifying that the local code shouldn't care about the type. It doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen sometimes.

Don't use auto when the code needs to care about the type.

I use the Intel P4510 (8TB) and have been super impressed with the performance. I also have some older WD SN200’s that are excellent MLC flash. You do need some active cooling for these types of drives such as in the path of a fan.

I think you need to post more context here because this doesn't make sense. We run large-scale WireGuard for hundreds of thousands of clients, and we know none of their client source IP addresses.
that doesn't stop the team from occasionally pronouncing it as "effing go"
A lot of people are gullible and/or socially have trouble saying "no" to people. I think cold calling and door-to-door sales preys on that. I have elderly family members who hate getting telemarketing cold calls, but they are from some time/culture where it's uncomfortable/difficult to directly tell someone "No, I'm not interested. Fuck off." That's often who's falling for these.

If I actually needed what the salesman was selling, I would have bought it already myself. This is true for everything I've ever purchased. The fact that they have to push it on me proves that it's negative-EV and I have no problem just hanging up or closing the door. I guess not everyone finds this easy.
Where would they get revenue numbers on a private company?
There is nothing special about it.

It is just a typical diet for losing weight quickly, i.e. a diet that provides only around 800 kcal/day, while providing normal quantities of proteins, essential fatty substances, vitamins and minerals, to avoid other health problems.

Almost any court of sufficient level has filing fees for every legal motion that may be required in your case. Also, many courts require you to be physically present to argue your case, which depending where your case is actually being heard, could cost jack shit, or could cost a fortune. Not to mention the loss of income if you work a typical job, since you'll be taking time off, hopefully paid, to go to court. And of course hours and hours of research and uncompensated labor just to do all the paperwork involved.
I dunno. Sounds like you've never bitten off more than you can chew. I have found myself in a situation before, where my continued participation would be an immediate low-grade harm and my rate of improvement was slow because I had volunteered for something well out of my wheelhouse. So I had a dilemma: give up and disappoint today, forcing my replacement; or carry on in my incompetence and risk the whole endeavor.

Quitting early did bruise my self-respect: people were depending on me! But hanging on, just to protect my feelings, would have been a much greater regret.
Very true although anyone on a H1B may have to file a bunch of paperwork since their job location changed. Although I suppose the paperwork is going to be more something that twitter's attorneys need to do.

Probably because things are a bit different now than in the 80's and 90's?

1. We used to do a lot more business over phone calls back in those days, so people were more willing to entertain cold phone calls

2. Technology has allowed automating phone call scams, so we get a lot more of those nowadays

3. Calling internationally is dirt cheap now, so you can have call centers full of scammers in cheap countries

4. Everyone is using text messaging with their friends and family so phone calls are more likely to be scams
Just seems like you have to go far off the beaten path to use it so far. Maybe your load balanced will do it for you, maybe you can bring in and use hyper/h3, but short of that you're back to assuming your own webserver with no frameworks.

Or maybe Google TV Hub if it has Matter and/or smart home functionality.
That’s not the fault of the stores. If we had sane crime policies, that would not be necessary. But NYC is becoming worse and worse, complete lack of enforcement of social orders like “no stealing”. Or re-releasing violent criminals where they end up killing someone.

It’s basically now ok to walk into any store in nyc, and just take stuff worth less than $1k, and walk out. Nothing will happen, and police can’t do much since it’s been decided stealing is not a crime here. The people doing this then will sell that same stolen stuff on a street corner a block away for half price.

UDP is a complete red herring and you should carefully reread any analysis that says a VPN protocol is superior to WireGuard because it uses TCP and not UDP. It's trivial to run WireGuard over TCP (it's our default for all our users, because something like 1 in 20 users has problems getting UDP out to the public Internet).
In this case, it sounds like CrowdStrike could have gotten CloudFlare to take down the website whether the DMCA notice was valid or not, without having to go through a legal process, since CloudFlare wasn't exactly helping.

If ClownStrike had not made the news, maybe CrowdStrike would continue to try the same DMCA trick with Hetzner.
The FDA would be wise enough to know a political hot potato when they see one.

If you think the riots would be massive for a ban, imagine the riots if there wasn't worldwide access immediately. Biological immortality is very much a situation where you want to bring enough gum for everyone.
This looks amazing. Do you have plans to support Firefox and other browsers?
what strikes me as odd with the Voyager though is that the marketing is geared toward using this as a portable alternative to larger split keyboards like the Moonlander.

one marketing photo stuck with me and actually put me off buying it: it had a laptop setup at a generic coffee shop with a cable looped around it going to one half and another connecting the two halves. it looked ridiculous and reminded me of just how annoying that connector cable could be at times.

I'm not sure ex Googlers are even necessary for ill suited technologies to be used. There definitely weren't enough ex-Googlers to explain the spread of microservices or NoSQL. Reading about it on Hacker News might be enough.
The problem is their claim was those two tweets were violent. If they just said they banned him for behavior outside of Twitter they wouldn't be lying. Instead they claimed two tweets that have literally nothing to do with violence are violent.
"Misgendering and having some rather "blunt" debates" was my example, and that doc absolutely targets it even though arguably misgendering and having blunt debates on the trans issue is not "directly attacking “other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.” according to your accusation.

This assumes that the company would be based on the city regardless. It's very common to see these assumptions in news articles about tax breaks, and it never makes sense.
The guy who tried to sue the Hamilton watch company for naming themselves Hamilton decades before he was born?
There is a famous paper about the location of company headquarters: they get as close as possible to the residence of company CEOs. If we don't consider the CEO's influence, I'm actually curious if the location of company headquarters has to do with the average age of the employees in the Bay Area. As the employees start to have families, they most likely move to the south bay for better or for worse, and I have a hard time imagine that they'd enjoy commuting via BART or Caltrain for more than an hour every day. And this is probably just me or my circles, a city's hustle and bustle becomes a distraction or at least increasing irrelevant as I age. I increasingly enjoy ample parking space, tranquil suburbs, being able to step out and start jogging in woods or huge parks, and certainly not having to deal with the craziness on SF streets. If more people are like me who prefers living outside of the city proper, then I'd imagine a company will have access to more talent by moving its headquarters to the south of SF.
Don't forget that 2022 was still a good time for tech with people recovering from COVID lockdowns. It's not really much of a surprise that they're back to pre-COVID income.

Aside from that, there's the lawsuit the sibling mentioned, plus the coordinated campaigns from groups like Media Matters and others attempting to scare advertisers away.
I didn't say it was law.
I happened to dig up an old write-up from a Matt Levine newsletter a few years ago about how margin calls work in Crypto:

> In traditional finance, if you have borrowed money to buy some stocks, and the stocks have gone down, your broker will call you up and say “hey could you post more collateral.” Ideally you post the collateral and everything is fine. Sometimes you don’t, and your broker sells the stocks at hopefully a high enough price to pay off your loan. But sometimes you say “sorry, I can’t post any more collateral today, but I can try tomorrow,” and your broker gives you another day.

> In decentralized finance, if you have borrowed money (stablecoins) to buy some crypto, and the crypto has gone down, a robot sells your crypto at hopefully a high enough price to pay off your loan, automatically and without bothering to call you.

Because everything is "smart-contracts" and automated, there is basically no buffer between being under and over leveraged, so market swings are much rougher than in traditional finance.
There are reports that drone loss for Ukraine is like 3-5 drones per a successful attack. There are also reports that Ukraine carries like 4000 daily drone flights. It is not clear how may of those are for observations and how many are for attacks. If one assumes that there 3000 attack flights and 600 reach the target, it can easily explain 50% of Russian losses.

In addition a sniper is a bad analogy. The drone warhead is at least a hand-grenade useful against hard targets. A better analogy would be a guided light artillery shell if such exists in models.
Yep that's what I have now. Same story. It started with ever bigger ads for prime shows, then ads for shows on other streamers I don't subscribe to. And now half-screen apps for chocolates and perfumes etc. In Spain by the way.

Also now I have to pay extra to skip ads on prime :(

I'm thinking of getting an Apple TV but considering how expensive it is I'm waiting for the next version. I don't want to pay top dollar for the 2022 version.
What would be the outcome of this? That companies are forced to put advertisement money on a platform they don't want to advertise in?

I don't understand the point of this lawsuit, it seems to be kind of a PR move perhaps? Maybe this is all in the context of the presidential elections, to be able to bank on that "us versus them" mentality.
Scraping tools have become more powerful than ever, but bot restrictions have become equally more strict. It's hard to scrape reliably under any circumstance, or even consistently without residential proxies.
Evidently not a joke. I guess if money is speech, silence is collusion?

If he can't extract $50B from Tesla because the Delaware chancery court isn't a time machine, and he's lost all the money he put into Twitter, a cash crunch is possible. If the big rocket doesn't look like it will be rapidly reusable enough to even try in-orbit refueling in the next couple of launches, that could stress anyone's checking account.

4Chan was run by like one guy using the change he found in the cushions of his couch.

Getting the pixels on people's screens is the easy part. Keeping the Nazis and bots at bay is the expensive part. You have to do the latter if you want to keep the advertisers on your site, which is why X switched to a more for-pay model and still loses money hand over fist. Being able to pay to have your voice amplified has been a real boon for the fascist users on X, they're having a great time.

My understanding is that Twingate uses a service-based access model, rather than host/IP/ACL-based, as Wireguard defines the world.

As you are based on WG, have you somehow paperer over that to move away from network trust and lack of scalability (that I read across HN/Reddit/YT) inherent to other WG based solutions?
