> Why do you need to monetise?

Some people, myself included, are trying to earn a living creating software that helps people in some way. Just like any other physical or digital service, it’s fair to charge for a useful tool

> I don’t understand BYOx use case for monetised product

In my case, BYO keys turns out way cheaper for the end user. For instance my tool calls an LLM API. If I were to host the keys myself, I’d be charged $X for Y calls.

By getting the user to bring their own key, in my case the user easily fits into the free tier of the LLM (Gemini in my case) so the product costs me $0 to run, and I just charge a small service fee for me having created the product.

This allows me to keep building useful tools, some free (7 of 8 projects so far) and some paid (1 of 8)
Nitpick, this is a column written by James Mickens, not a published paper.

It is funny, true, and wise, though.
I just use Foam - https://github.com/foambubble/foam

As a Visual Studio Code extension, it runs everywhere (except some mobile setups), is very fast, and provides me with the ability to tack on more features via other extensions. I set up a “Notes” profile with everything I need, and switch to that for a couple of workspaces.
You're not the only one. The crux however is that you can't force that on everyone. There's nothing stopping apple from adding a fuse bit you can set yourself to disallow alternative app stores. That'd be completely legal. As long as it's a free choice to set that bit.
It already is an ad platform. They want to turn it into the surveillance platform of choice for governments, businesses and law enforcement alike.

Windows is already a privacy farce. The OS and 3rd party drivers capture a large chunk of what you do. Imagine having everything you do in one tidy location that can and will be used against you at the drop of a hat.
It’s pretty “popular” in United States also, well at least in my group of peers whenever we’re going for sushi one of us will have ordered katsu curry.

My absolute favorite is the curry as it’s made by Yayume sushi in San Ramon.
The problem with DNT was that there was no established legal basis governing its meaning and some browsers just sent it by default so corporations started arguing it's meaningless because there's no way to tell if it indicates a genuine request or is merely an artefact of the user's browser choice (which may be meaningless as well if they didn't get to choose their browser).

As the English version of that page says, it's been superceded by GPC which has more widespread industry support and is trying to get legal adoption though I'm seeing conflicting statements about whether it has any legal meaning at the moment, especially outside the US - the described effects in the EU seem redundant given what the GDPR and ePrivacy directive establish as the default behavior: https://privacycg.github.io/gpc-spec/explainer
I pay for the product, not the company.
It's not breathing compressed air that causes the problem, but rather that the gasses in your lungs are pressurized at all + rapidly lowering pressure on your entire body on ascent.

In freediving, the air in your lungs is still pressurized equally at depth to what it would be with scuba, so the same thing happens.

In scuba, you do replace the amount of problematic gas in your lungs as you breathe, which potentially leads to higher body saturation (as you're not just exhausting what's in one single lungful). But that's more about gas interchange at all than pressure.

If you spend long enough at depth, even without breathing, you run into the same problem.
Speeding Up `Atan2f` by 50x
But the parent is invoking `perl` itself 5 times, rather than iterating 5 times within one process.
Also the story of Jericho. "Then they devoted all in the city to destruction, both men and women, young and old, oxen, sheep, and donkeys, with the edge of the sword." is often glossed over!
Tapping on Terms just scrolls up to the top of the page and there’s lorum ipsum text throughout. It looks like the sales page is the product.

i mean... no one is going to convince you of anything if youre speaking of some hypothetical future possibility. But at least acknowledge theyve improved on security. Defender is included with windows, theyve been steady shipping significant and effective protections like device guard and smartscreen. and maybe you hate edge, but it unquestionably better than IE. i can't defend the heavy marketing and ads in windows 11 other than to say power users can disable that shit entirely. If that isn't good enough, then i think youre right and probably won't ever be one of their customers. thankfully there are other choices though :)
Don't be so intentionally obtuse.

Are all of those things you said, and do, readily available in one easy to siphon up database? Easily searchable and reportable to nation state entities? Can I or LEOs read your Hacker News posts and comments, and easily determine exactly who you are and that your previously open tabs where porn and anarchy related websites?

No. RECALL is a damn privacy and security nightmare. Don't act like it's saving the world, it's intent is to close the walls in around you.
If you apply Hanlon's Razor to known malicious actors then the only one being stupid is you. In fact, it's a really bad heuristic for any corporation.
make good things, shouldn't be based on a sole person's opinion i suppose. I didn't want to elaborate on what that is, but as you pointed out, use standards and conventions, well documented and tested libraries. Don't stray from the common thing if it's not needed. Reason about data first, then code. - these are all common advices too, easy to find if you look on any search engine how to build something 'good' or 'properly'. or 'how to program professionally'. - i'd hope someone uses the resources and knowledge available to them that others have spent a lot of time documenting and building.

That being said, its not always the case and you are right, 'make something good' is a bad advice, essentially it's not advice at all.

I would say as advice - don't do something alone if you want others to use it. Try to get feedback as early as possible from people you trust, and from people you'd expect to be your consumers/users. And always listen to that advice, don't throw it into the wind. I think that's the best advice if you want to make something 'successful', because the label of successful ultimately will be granted to your product by your users, not yourself.

Sorry to put a 'bad advice' if it was taken as advice :-). I don't mean to make bad things even in advice ^^.

Peloton is actually quite hated in cycling circles because of their name clash, and how they're lodging trademark complaints about clubs or events with Peloton in their name...
I’d expect a modern government to design something as clear and well regarded as the GDS stuff in the U.K.

I’d expect a corporation like ibm etc to design the total mess we see with any large project
Recurring inconvenience is a good basic test for compliance.
Silliness can also be beneficial :D. You are a user who 'writes code', and that code 'calls'. or are you using your vocal chords to magically retreive data from an API -> it could happen if you use voice-to-text and have an LLM make your code :'D.

- sorry if the comment was too silly. i'll try to keep it for myself.
it would be nice if the postal system in the UK and anywhere in the world supported what3words to be honest
Physics is an empirical inquiry into the structure, composition and dynamics of the observable usensorium we inhabit. I find it just short of hybris to entertain any promise that the outcome can be more than a metaphor of the underlying reality.
The whole quagmire of “the measurement problem” in quantum mechanics seems to largely come from misunderstanding Bohr’s philosophical objections on this difference between a theory of the measurable and the interpretation of the theory’s internal mechanics as evidence of the true reality it models.

Givens that twentieth century physics (apart from General Relativity) is based on Bohr’s foundation, no wonder people get confused.

The mathematization of physics hasn’t helped either. That Bell’s theorem “proves” something is language applicable to a mathematical structure, not to the physical world itself.
That sounds like chaos. Who thought constructing multiple apartment buildings without any kind of sensible post code or address was a good idea? Sure, this being reality BAN does not apparently meet reality, but it does sound like someone had the opportunity to keep reality sane here, and they didn't.
the article didn't go into numbers, but $20k each way, or $40k each day is a reasonable estimate of how much it'll cost to have that commute. 3x per week is $120k/wk; * 50 is $600k/ yr.

assume his salary is the $1.6 + $3.6 million, or $5.2 million (from the article), or 11% of his salary. if you made $100k/yr, that would be like spending $11k/yr on gas driving to and from work, or $900/month. which is 6x as much as $150, which is very roughly what I spend on gas commuting per month.
You simply can't cope with taking my correction without making a fuss. Which is very ironic.
I wonder if the newer reading technology offsets the degradation of the magnetic tape, or whether it's better to digitize X years ago, using the older digitizing technique, but with a stronger magnetic signal.

fine, but that then requires a google chrome sandbox escape or visiting an attacker controlled page, my point was just that the initial claim was rather oversimplified.

But Linux isn’t a greener pasture for the only thing I use windows for. For the things in which it is, I already use Linux or other non windows based operating systems.

I assume you’re talking about “non IT” people though I suppose who may only be able to facilitate the usage of one operating system at a time.

Not quite. G-NAF is a government owned enterprise, separate to the privitised but government body of Australia Post.

G-NAF is the equivalent to the UK's National Address Gazette.

It's a separate body of data, that sometimes disagrees with the "source of truth" that is Australia Post, and all the post systems that rely upon them.

For example, it took two years for G-NAF to notice that Winter Valley, Victoria, is not within 3356, but actually has its own brand new post code of 3358.

Ask HN: Are cloud certificates worth it as a DevOps Engineer?
I currently have 4 years of experience in DevOps and am currently looking for another position. I have 2 years of experience in Azure Cloud and have the AZ-900: Azure Fundamentals certification.
My company currently helps me in discounted testing and free learning for new certificates, and I'm planning on completing AZ-104 and AZ-400 as well.
However, I see in job postings that Azure isn't a popular cloud platform in my region, and that many companies prefer to work with AWS or even GCP. I'm now not sure if investing so many hours in getting these certificates actually helps my career or damages it (Since I'm funneling myself into learning only one cloud platform).
What do y'all recommend me to do? Should I do a basic AWS certificate as well? Or are certificates vastly overrated when it comes to interviewing for a new role?
It depends on whether it's generating 58% of answers that lead on-call engineers down the wrong path. Honestly, it's more of a question -- I did not read the article deeply.
The problem is that the question itself implies belief of a system that many people do not buy into.

It's like saying, what type of Christian are you: practising or non-practising? A question that disregards the fact that many people don't consider that religion to be an accurate model of the world in the first place.

Yeah true, BK has always advertised with customisation options so I'm not surprised they do allow this. I don't have one near me so I don't go there so much.

But I didn't realise I could ask at the desk to modify my order once it's placed. Thanks!
In high-frequency trading, we generate high-frequency signals from trade and quote tick data and analyze these signals to identify trading opportunities. This tutorial demonstrates how to convert high-frequency signals into discrete buy/sell/hold signals. Essentially, the problem is to convert an array of floating-point values into an array of only 3 integers: +1 (buy), 0 (hold) and -1 (sell).
i think you are wrong. they are trying to convince the average consumer that they need this new laptop with special hardware because they have exclusive magical features (read: OCR) like windows recall. theyre making it intentionally exclusive and locally computed specifically to brag about new capabilities.
> Or, to paraphrase Douglas Adams: "The data is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate."

Having worked with public sector data in Denmark this part is particularly hilarious to encounter in the wild. Even something as “simple” as an organisational chart is something will multiple realities depending on who you ask. Often the people working within context of the different realities will be quite fanatical about their reality.

The place I worked had an employee registry which became the foundation for more and more purposes as the digital services grew. Typically being the foundation for rights to the 300+ different IT systems. It was based on the payment system, which was sort of natural when it was build because that is the one place every employee is registered. Of course this became an issue. For one, teams can only have one manager in basically every Danish HR system, I’m not sure why that is, because a lot of teams have multiple managers performing different roles. Sometimes some of the manager roles where delegated, sometimes the responsibilities were simply spilt. In any case, because there was no data on this hierarchy it was hilariously hard to do things like default who would have access rights to approving vacation, audit and so on. Then you had healthcare, which works three shifts with a different amount of people on each shift. Especially the night shift was a challenge, because they needed access to the whole house and every patient. Which might’ve been easy if there was a regular night shift team, but heathcare personal rotate shifts. Even the specifically designed patient registry which was solely build for patient care couldn’t handle this because nobody had thought about it before they build it (or the data laws like GDPR).

Anyway, there was a billion different things where data didn’t represent a single reality. I can’t get into the stuff involving citizens, but let’s just say that it will be horrible when different departments use the data with AI as though their own reality is the only reality.
Agreed. This is a pretty typical case though, not a fluke. God bless the french postal workers. Don't invest in any drone delivery services here any time soon :P
I was impressed when I first heard about the objectives of the Eircode system, but it seems the implementation is lacking.
Our company started operating in the UK recently, and some of our customers were very surprised we didn't charge for a subscription for part of our product. The idea would have no legs in Australia (our homeland) but is completely normal in the UK. So, new revenue stream for us, and some learnings about the UK culture.
If you're interested in how the authors did the analysis, the fun details – the data sources and analytic/econometric methods – are in the supplementary materials (link at end of article).

Ironically enough, I assume that if they hadn't managed to publish a higher-level article in Science, the actual paper (hypothetically published elsewhere) would have been the 116 (+/- epsilon) pages of detailed measures and methods, result displays, and sensitivity analyses/robustness checks.

If I read the article correctly, they systematically detect when emissions policies are adopted by looking at sudden increases/"breaks" in "stringency indices" of a country's emissions policies (within a particular industrial sector.) The machine learning comes in their automated procedure for identifying these breaks (which is well out of my expertise – my longitudinal analysis training is in good old fashioned multilevel modelling and structural equation modelling.) They then do the standard trick of using a binary before/after "treament" indicator variable. Once that is done, though, it looks like you can choose your method of choice for detecting significant changes in emissions pre-post intervention.
> I swam underwater about fifty feet in my neighborhood pool, which is five feet deep, and was told by the lifeguard never to do that again. Indeed there's a sign that says "don't hold your breath underwater."

That's insane and not far off from a level of conservatism that dictates "Don't get in the water, because it's dangerous."

If a kid is spending all day in the pool doing 5' breath holding underwater swims... maybe I'd be concerned?

But it's crazy to say there's a >0% but <1% risk... so we're going to ban it.

> I blame the American Red Cross, which has a history of dumb things IMO,

Recommendation by committee. Initial reqs are decent, then become increasingly unreasonable as people add "What if"s.

As the quip goes, engineering is knowing what trade-offs are worth taking, not being unwilling to accept any trade-off.

PS: Did you go to GT when they still had the mandatory requirement?
The comment author has zero moralizing and zero denial of quality of life benefits, or any of this. They simply seem to say that if a person doesn't eliminate the root cause of their obesity, they will still continue to suffer from health damage (or maybe even more, tbd) despite the actual benefits of this pill - and this is not discussed, unlike the hyped-up benefits, which btw may mislead people to think that they shouldn't change now that their appetite+weight is magically reducing, and all-positive publicity also encourages people who have little need for this pill to hoard it and drive the price(profits) up.

A number of other things you mention are pretty subjective. It's just as hard for me to diet and exercise when I'm BMI 19 or BMI 25. In fact, that's true for 90+% of people, because everyone almost universally rebounds to bad habits, in all studies. This "power through a long-term health journey" is your whole life, always, there is no start or stop to this until we die or give up, even with this pill. The pill may help with the BMI part, but it obscures the fact that there is still very real health damage from bad diet and bad lifestyle no matter what your BMI or even visceral fat is.
The Blaster rworm did not in fact make the whole earth fall apart. Stop scaremongering.

> When you have a billion devices running around the world

This is exactly the point: Microsoft does NOT have those billions of devices, their users do.

> CrowdStrike happened because one of the "user-empowering" features: ability to install kernel drivers on a machine.

Crowdstrike happened because the corpration behind it had direct control over the computers it was running on and the ability to install security updates without the user's consent. They even ignored configuration that was supposed to delay updates for critical machines. Spinning this as some kind of failure of user empowerment instead of a consequence of the same kind of ownership inversion that secure boot and other DRM brings is absurd.

> at scale defaults must always prefer security over capability

And that's exactly how you end up in a dystopia. Because the demand for increased security never ands and can be used to justify any and all loss of freedom.
Will you use a central trusted, international nonprofit clearinghouse and privacy grants/permissions repository that is run by the government of China / Iran / [state]?

It is important for privacy activists to understand that „centralised“ is an anti-pattern for privacy.

Instead we need security and control over our data on devices and internet platforms guaranteed by the law.

I mean, leptons are definitely real, not just concepts. An electron is a lepton, and an electron surely exists? You can spray individual electrons. If an electron is just a concept, it is in a sense that a tiger is just a concept, and in a sense it is, but that is not very useful thing to say.
