Ask HN: YC Deadline for Fall Batch
by August 27 means what time on August 27th will applications close?

or does this mean today (26th) is the last day to apply?

i dont have a website, a deck or anything ready. just a very good domain name and a rough plan.

should i still apply?
That's your reason to use something 'freer'? To avoid a screenshot sound?

I mean, you do you but that's kind a extreme.
You’re not thinking statistically. At shorter distances the tier 2 men dominate the women who happen to be mentally stronger but physically weaker

At longer distances the mental advantage for the top women start to matter more than their physical disadvantage when compared with the men who happen to be physically tougher but mentally weaker than them
Thanks for your great work!

Nice! This is the model it uses, for anyone curious (it's also mentioned in the description):

You just described that someone/some team sold something that doesn't meet the customer's need. If you can't see what happened, I can try to explain it for you:

Someone from Datadog sales team talks to someone from marketing at Corporation X. Corp. X Marketing loves what Datadog salespeople sell and what amazing things they can get from it and, guess what? pay the first bill. Great job, team!

Now is when engagement with the technical team of corp X starts but the technical team that wasn't the one that agreed with the bill. Tech-savvy people knows that Datadog isn't worth it (that's why they aren't the ones that salespeople reach to). Now they have to justify a $83.000/year kinda bill they didn't sign up for.
Great salespeople, great sales team. Scammers, if you ask me.

As someone from marketing, you've just signed the bill and are essentially the one who "colluded" with Datadog to take money out of Corp X's deep pockets, without fully understanding the technical implications or value of the product.

Those last three are pretty concerning, I don't really understand what they mean:

> - Providing cryptology services aiming to ensure confidentiality without certified declaration,

> - Providing a cryptology tool not solely ensuring authentication or integrity
monitoring without prior declaration,

> - Importing a cryptology tool ensuring authentication or integrity monitoring
without prior declaration.

What does "without certified declaration" mean?

The others are pretty non-surprising, if the comms were unencrypted and the company refused to cooperate.
I think the interviewers were asking about the metro stop where the candidate worked as a method to assess the veracity of the resume item. Same thing for the question about what division the candidate worked in at Uber.

Yeah, many years ago I ran a crunchbang-style setup with openbox and tint2 and while the low resource usage and customizability was great, it was irritating having to find and set up daemons, tray items, etc (all of which seemingly coming with their own list of incapabilities/tradeoffs) for every little thing. I absolutely sympathize with minimizing bloat, but it feels like things like volume keys should fall within the scope of bare minimum out of the box functionality.
with folding screens now possible, my fantasy device is a transformers-ish laptop that has a large height, where the laptop screen and keyboard folds into thirds so it's closer to a cube/rectangular prism than a flat square plate.

Snip.info – embeddable snippets from arbitrary web pages
Makes sense. I'm wondering now how a "safeguard" from this behaviour could look like. E.g. make a person's promotion within an organisation depending on achieving also "first-order" goals of the organisation.
snip.info allows you to extract specific elements from a web page based on CSS selectors and optionally inject custom JavaScript. In addition to selected elements, parent elements are included (but not siblings).

I wanted this for embedding parts of web pages in a chat app for services that didn't support generating embeds, and afaict there are no free options for doing this with an unauthenticated API call.

Hope it's useful for folks and please feel free to email me@zach.us with issues or open GitHub issues.
There is actually a decent way to do that.

You get a high deductible catastrophe plan, and bolt on a Direct Primary Care provider for simple things. The DPC is a doctor who you pay a small retainer (My guy is $70/mo) and the main reason that the cost is so low is that he does not need to staff a billing department due to simply not integrating with insurance at all. I keep $10K in an HSA to cover my deductible if I need to.

DPC doctors also keep a much smaller patient roster so it is pretty easy to book time with him and he isn't being pressured by some middle manager to keep every interaction at 10 minutes or less. Once you see how this all works it's easy to become singlepayer-pilled because wow the whole medical scene could pay providers better, offer higher quality services, and have competitive pricing if we could just get around to deleting the billing department and insurance company.
I pretty much agree with everything you said, but I still feel like your take is a bit too absolutist. If you're not afraid of losing your job, all of these are 100% accurate. But if you are, some of this advice can get you fired.

In my personal situation I did pretty much what you said. I brought it up and I'm hoping it will be resolved at some point. The reality is that these kinds of problems can almost always be solved, it just costs resources so companies de-prioritize it constantly.

I definitely agree that some push-back is necessary and a lot of companies have this culture of suffering silently that is very hard to change. It takes a lot of social capital and a fair amount of risk, depending on the type of people in charge. I know that I wouldn't have brought it up if I didn't have a safety net of savings in case I lost my job.

People also forget that they are not alone. Our individualistic society promotes this kind of thinking that sometimes prevents solutions from being reached. As in your example, many folks were unhappy, but nobody wants to be the one that brings it up.

Overall I only really want to emphasize that it's really not always a choice. There's a very big power imbalance in employment relationships that can't be solved by individuals.
Then you take the title and the average dev salary, and think about your best case scenario (only setting up the open source tools, onboarding your devs), your mid case failures (need to reboot, out of storage) and your worst case scenarios (hardware fails, lost storage, the high speed link goes down)

And you realize you're getting a deal
Apple's long-term play with iOS is to shut all competing ad networks out of the data flow that iPhones generate. This is not solely for privacy reasons. We know Apple runs their own ads in the App Store, and they do collect data on those ads, which they conveniently do not consider to be "tracking" because it doesn't cross an organizational boundary.

And to be clear, every other big tech company operates on this same logic. "Tracking" to both Apple and Google is this really specific technical definition rooted in the same-origin policy of web browsers, in the same way that "malware" to Apple is "anything we didn't sign, including useful developer tools, third-party JIT compilers, and games that won't pay us 30% of their microtransaction sales". In fact, this sort of "we'll protect you from the competition's - and ONLY the competition's - malfeasance" bullshit is why Google isn't allowed to block third-party cookies. The UK CMA is legally enshrining third-party cookies - at least in Google browsers - because all of Google's own privacy posturing with that was just to shut off the data flow in Chrome.

People make fun of the term "justice involved individual" but this is exactly the same dynamic. You are at your safest when you are as far as humanly possible, physically and organizationally, from their orbit. I'm safe from HR not because I'm innocent (like that matters) but because none of them even know who I am.
I put on insect repellent every time I go outside during the summer, but I have split my time living between Texas and Colorado, both of which have wells of endemic mosquito-borne illnesses (unfortunately). Besides mosquitos though, I am much more worried about ticks, biting flies, and grass fleas/chiggers which are also commonplace once you walk into a natural area, even in the city. I would say it really depends on the city you live in though, some cities mass-spray public areas, and some do not. Here in Colorado they avoid using insect suppressants and repellents in mass sprays due to negative impacts on the population of pollinators, so any natural area or park in the city is definitely a danger zone if you don't take any precautions yourself. Relevant context is I live next to a natural area and can walk out my front door and into 2600 acres of natural area that's right in the middle of the city, it's where I go walking my dog (before she recently passed) and where I ride my bike on the trails.

A pedantic point, which typically argues around the real point. When somebody egregiously violates norms of public discourse with rabble-rousing, slander, deliberate lies and obfuscation, it's reasonable to limit their message's reach with some rules. When they continue despite warnings, then something more has to be done.

Call it what you like; this all had a history and a progression. Not arbitrary or unfair.
This was a consequence of WW II labor shortages and the government froze wages. So companies used benefits like health care instead. It should have been outlawed after the war. It is very anti-worker and many people won't change jobs for no reason other than healthcare. It has also created an issue where the health "insurance" companies don't have to compete like they do in car insurance, etc.
Yes, when I was doing work for the UN there were three categories of people in the organization and the lines between them were quite bright. I've described it this way to many people who are curious.

You had the true believers in the mission, which was a minority. You had an army of bureaucrats, who were solely motivated by a steady paycheck and were incentivized to be paperwork and meeting maximalists to justify their lifetime appointment. And then you had a large minority -- larger than the true believers -- of grifters and sinecures, typically a nephew of the president of some undeveloped country or similar, who were openly there to collect as much free money as possible without even the pretense of work.

That last group, while obviously devoted to themselves, were devoted to the organization to the extent that they are parasites and the organization is the host. But they only need the organization to exist, not the organization's mission.

A consideration on a BleepingComputer post on security and remote work
Well... It's a sponsored article but it's still relevant seen the BC typical audience AND post authors mental model of "remote work".

First: from the article remote and hybrid work are synonym, a very cloying idea, many in the management/PR keep trying pushing around and some even believe, especially those who have never really worked from home.

Second: they clearly imaging people working with wifi, a thing logic if your work consist of running around a facility with a laptop doing physical things that also demand a connected computer, obviously NOT LOGIC at all otherwise and still it's the common C-suite and PR mental model who keep imaging it's normal working on 12-14" craptops anywhere at home or in a bar and alike. A scenario many in the large public believe it's very normal.

Third: they clearly imaging PERSONAL equipment at home also used to work. Well, I mean not a personal desk, chair, keyboard [1], screen(s), I mean a damn desktop with a personally managed OS, since of course most imaging working IN REMOTE DESKTOP with their own one as a client.

Ok, again, it's an article by someone who sell solutions for this scenarios, BUT the main point I post this here is that such scenarios are considered NORMAL by most, administrative who decide how to work in primis. And that's the biggest damn real threat.

To properly work from home there is nothing wrong in accepting a remote worker existent setup, of standard devices dumb enough to not represent a threat for the company IT but WFH means having a damn dedicated home office with a damn closed door, FDE desktop send ready from the company ops, with relevant smart card allowing decryption sent separately and a pin sent also separately and by other means. We have no protection let's say with physical hw in the middle to scan keyboard and mouse input, duplicate monitor output and record and so on, but essentially that's they same threat we have in every office, because no one really have some trusted PFY running around every day looking for small devices added by someone where others are distracted here and there. But to properly have WFH witch is damn needed as a mere evolution, not only for adaption to climate change, well-being etc we MUST all clearly state:

- WFH mean working on a physical desktop, NOT A LAPTOP, and that's one of the reasons why hybrid works is crazy, demanding docked craptops or double desk setup;

- WFH mean no remote desktop for the worker but a desktop managed by company IT, with the relative workers help (from merely plugging cables to supporting workers personal hw for some skilled workers who want something better with hotplug storage if needed), so no workers own device on own software not managed by company IT.

These things don't make sense even for young people because at a young age people tend not to have savings, and a medical emergency can totally wipe out your finances. Remember what they told you about burial insurance: it's a scam, except for young people who don't have savings

Bill Watterson's commencement speech (1990)
It's a "health tax" that's administered entirely by a private entity that you can't get rid of except by quitting your job or by spending thousands of dollars extra per month out of pocket.

I think if it's politically untenable to go single-payer then every employer must instead be required to give you a stipend every month to buy your own insurance. Then make it illegal for a company to offer insurance for their own employees. If everyone saw what it really cost and what they were really getting there would be a lot more impetus for changes.
I suppose I could have my security camera DVR entirely offsite. That thieves could steal it is kind of a weakness, and I’ve been too lazy to complete my project to auto upload smaller clips based on Frigate detection.
This is also my understanding of the case. I'm not sure what I misunderstood? The ruling says it's fair use, whether or not the subject matter of the fair use is copyrightable.
I only do projects for myself, so that's a known thing for me.
Most recent Github stars are came from big tech youtuber's videos.

Yeah the k3s scheduler is basically "we integrate with k3s or BYO kubernetes and then deploy to that". It was sponsored by a user that was migrating away from Heroku actually. If you've used k3s/k8s, you basically get the same workflow as Dokku has always provided but now with added resilience.

Note: I am the Dokku maintainer.
The main applications that I use are a web browser, a terminal, and a text editor.

Both my terminal and my text editor support tiling natively, and I assume there are extensions for my web browser to do the same.

I'm not sure adding this complexity at the window manager level is really that useful.
How well does Dokku support running on ARM?

>You insure yourself against exceptional things. Yet we use insurance for our yearly flu-shot, hardly exceptional.

Insurance makes it free to get a flu shot because it makes everyone healthier and lowers their expenses. Similar to how you get a discount on car for installing a theft prevention device.

Insurance isn't just about insuring for exceptional events either. It results in a better allocation of resources. By incentivizing reducing risk to reduce premiums. Insurance is also a huge boon to providers who would otherwise need to spend much more time pursuing non payment, or entirely deny services to financially risky patients. And then this goes back to the outcomes for society at large.

Why would it yield when reading from local memory? Are there any cooperative environments that do that? Seems like an unusual expectation.

I work on a website for a non-profit. We have a hybrid wordpress symfony site. We're always being pulled two ways, we like that we switched to wordpress for the more static parts of the site (CMS). We have some minor custom functionality thats being handled by symfony, that should righly be a wordpress plug in....

This might be the thing. Especially if you can use it for plug-ins.
We have ansible modules (https://github.com/dokku/ansible-dokku) that cover the majority of app management if thats what you want. The reason I am hesitant to do it in something like `app.json` is purely because one might expose Dokku to users who only have push access and some of those commands can be fairly destructive.

Disclaimer: I am the Dokku maintainer.
To expand on this: A lot of this is because even if 90% of people get along/generally agree, it only takes a fraction of that remaining 10% to throw a wrench into everyone’s collective gears.
