Okay, I have a lot of projects with a couple of email addresses attached to their domain name

In the US and European market, this was seen as a bare minimum level of professionalism and validation (other markets are more advanced on this front and have been on chat apps for the entire business for at least a decade)

regardless for email, I had been using Google workplaces for this

What’s a cheaper alternative? last time I tried something else I found I was vendor locked to google even when trying to accept calendar invites from people in other organizations that sent google calendar. That was 5 years ago though

some sectors like web3 let you do the whole project with just a username on discord/telegram/x but I do want to consider migrating my emails away from google workspace now. Its difficult to manage even changing the credit cards on file with so many projects like if one expires
A Thought Experiment about Biometrics
Pages like this are completely unusable on mobile without adblock, and Google recently killed my ad blocker. Time to break this company up.
The fundamental issues is that devops guys don't have a budget with which to buy tools like Dagger (or Earthly), so the market is limited to companies that have tech-literate management - very small.
I've seen it described as a powder keg waiting for a match.

To me, the Russian Revolution is The Worst Thing That Ever Happened, and I imagine we'd have a much better world if that match was never lit.
I think the fact that the PRC would rather burn it all down rather than allow it to be sold speaks volumes that it's not about TikTok as a business venture.
You don’t have an expectation of privacy for the outside of your mail, because people can see the outside. The inside of the mail you do have an expectation of privacy, because someone can’t just see the inside of your mail. Unless it’s smelly, because people have noses.
I agree with your skepticism on this, but youth suicide rates have been steadily climbing. Unless we were misclassifying suicide, it seems like there is a rising mental health crisis.
It's not just color TV. For example, people in the 2020's eat a lot more restaurant meals than people in the past did. Yet restaurant meals are more expensive today relative to other goods than they were in the past.

Virtually all consumables show similar patterns. For example, housing is significantly more expensive than it was in the past, yet square foot of living space per person has increased substantially.
That depends on the definition of "many". Some use it relative, some absolute. On its own, Millions can be a big number for a service, but in relation to the absolute amount of TikTok-Users in the USA and Globally, it's just a few, a handful, more than 3, less than a majority.
Almost any form of media can be addicting. Kids these days might watch TikTok, but my worst addiction since young age has been reading online news.

Once I got diagnosed with ADHD and tried stimulant medicine, I noticed that the time I spend reading news, social media and playing games dropped dramatically. So, effectively all these activities have been nothing more than drugs for my dysfunctional brain. When my brain isn't deficient in dopamine, I seem to automatically spend most of my time on something more useful. Probably wouldn't be writing this if my meds weren't wearing off at this time of day.
Love the site! Usually desert = dry place and dessert = delicious food.
You only need to look at the news for how many Russian citizens are tricked by Ukrainian telephone con-men into giving away all their money and then setting fire to banks/trains/various military installations in the hope of getting it back. I'm already expecting to see that in the US and elsewhere when the inevitable happens. Now imagine the enemy government has dirt on most of your citizens, how easier would all of this be?
Nice. Maybe we should have re elected that guy.
When you lock things up you don't sell as many of them. And when you don't lock things up, you may well have a significant percentage of them stolen. Solution: Only operate in locations where petty crime rates are low and/or there is effective prosecution of petty crime. And that's exactly what's happening in many urban areas.

At a place like Costco the obvious impediment to theft -- even without locking things up -- is that what you walk out of the store with is compared against your receipt. But the less obvious deterrent, I suspect, is the annual fee. Small time thieves are less likely to pony up a hefty membership fee up front.
The router is manually designed (see their cem function). Also, the experts are not separate weights, just different scales of it's singular values.
Think in terms of the family in Mary Poppins. That's Middle Class.
Fifty-four percent of Americans now read below the 6th grade level.
Try this one https://www.hume.ai/ - I found the demos (voice to voice) interesting.
You can not because the money invested into this is to large. Same with AI - half of which is used to build a personal cheerleader/ hype-train for everyone using those apps now.

If you want to end that, you need to actively sabotage it, by creating fake users who eat resources for not add-revenue. Feeding crack to children has to become economically unviable for the world to change.
I got popcorn ready to see how the masses of iOS users will react to the TikTok ban
I read it as a personal recommendation to delete the apps, not as an appeal to ban them for everybody
Not my experience at all. The DX is different, but not bad in my, and it has been extremely reliable and inexpensive for my use cases and workloads. I built mainstream stuff and a global multi-region replicated DDB table with backups is essentially free.

That said, I don’t do query time aggregation anymore, which seems to be a common challenge folks hit. Other approaches that implement streaming/incremental aggregation and make it look roughly like query time probably are simpler.
Hash Design and Goodhart's Law
If the holding power of TikTok is strong enough (which it just might be) then you might actually see teens start to switch to Android.
It didn't mess me up and I didn't treat any interaction as a peformance. They were just fun conversations.
It's not really a "config", it's actually a program that plugins into your infrastructure-as-code process to build system images. As expected, people here love to bikeshed and have vastly different opinions on "best practices".
This is great insofar it gives the child a proper safeguard (just planting their feet on the ground) to stop being scared of toppling over and keep practicing. Nice.
i absolutely reject this great firewall style of thinking. I’m an American, an adult, and I can read and watch whatever I want.
Political pressure. There are more Americans on TikTok than voted in the last election. I think the parent company is calculating that they can draw attention to the government taking away something the users love and turn that into political pressure to undo the law. We’ll see what happens, but I’d imagine they are right. Taking away the opiate of the masses has not worked out for governments in the past.

What makes you think this? Vibes?
not even in the cycling community… At least 15 years ago getting your kid a balance bike in our circle of normal definitely-not-HN-reader friends was the done thing.

Graduation from a balance bike to a slightly larger bike-with-pedals-removed worked great for both my boys. They could pedal and ride a decent distance before they were out of nappies.

Interesting, TIL herpes is top of mind for me, but not for most of HN.
Absolutely not.

I also have 20+ years of experience in software development.

My skills and experience are not available to any companies using Leetcode style interviews.
> Imported workers are just fine, even though that is not something you'd derive from many a campaign speech, particularly for specialist workers as vaguely defined by the H1B system which have an indirect benefit of adding a bit of brain-drain friction to potentially competing companies in other economies, as well as shoring up the effect of temporary local skills deficiencies.

I and others did interpret this, and recalled what they said about that matter.

Wasn't part of the campaign directly but Trump and Elon both made this very apparent.
Just because your own school was sadly, terrible, doesn't necessarily mean your kids' would be similar, though? A formula that's worked for us, is - find a school with nice staff, be wary of huge academy chains (UK specific) and above all, seek peers that are very diverse - in terms of class, education level, wealth, race, nationality etc. That way your kids avoid being bullied for being "weird" because there's no such concept of "weird"-ness, kids in such a group have many different perspectives. To me, that's a far better environment for kids to develop and flourish, than siloed in a homeschooling situation.
Which instances would this be?

I agree. I don't want all my existing work apps to take on LLM features I don't need.

At the same time, I tried the Gemini Research feature last night, via the Gemini webapp, and was resoundingly impressed. From a vague description, it can find the open source project I was looking for, provided ample links, and a pretty good summary of the project.

As always, there is no free lunch.
I wonder if all the examples are biased and cherry picked. I dont think all people talk about good old days, especially those who went through WWII, and certainly not 1950s or 1970s.
$10,000 doesn't seem particularly large. Just a few years ago, I bought an old truck for $12,000 in one hundred dollar bills.

If you're worried about large drug transactions, a kilogram of cocaine would cost around $20,000-40,000 in the USA, and significantly more in Europe (actual wholesale price for bulk purchase, not inflated police figures that price it at $150/gram).

Personally I think one month of apartment rent should not be considered a suspiciously large amount of cash, and it should be fine to buy a car from a friend using actual cash. I really don't see the downside of leaving those things legal without a threat of civil asset forfeiture.
The Biden administration was obviously not effective at reeling in Israel at all.
Western literature is bad because it was written by cis white men. Native Americans lived here and had an advanced society that was way better and it didn't have capitalism. /s

I worked for Livescribe from 2008 to 2010. The author of this article describes the Nuwa Pen as a "game-changer" but, as others have pointed out in this thread, other products have done the same thing for a long time. Livescribe's pens captured both handwriting and audio, which was great for meetings and lectures. For a while they also supported an app ecosystem, though the apps' usefulness was never successfully demonstrated to be more than a gimmick.

I still believe there is a niche where a product like this would be very much at home, but Livescribe's smartpens in particular were undone by a combination of bad internal decisions combined with a market that changed from underneath them. Who knows, maybe the Nuwa Pen will be able to target that niche market more successfully. I could certainly find a use for one, given the right combination of price/features.
Bullying is not just something that one does to another person. It's the social destruction of self that is mediated by a group:

https://www.amazon.com/Bullying-Social-Destruction-Laura-Mar...

Bullies couldn't do what they do if they did not have the support of the other students, teachers, administration, etc. As late as college I was harassed by criminally minded person who led a criminal gang that was not held in check until they finally smashed somebody in the face with a rock in front of many witnesses. Two people were driven to suicide.

The leader has been to prison and if he got out and went straight I could forgive him, even celebrate him, because it is so hard to get out of being justice involved. I'm still angry at the college administrator who told me "my hands are tied" who many see as a hero because he really did a lot of great things for our school -- but I wonder who else was driven to suicide and I fantasize about going to his funeral and dumping over his casket. An apology from him would go a long way, I've asked for it, I never expect to get it.

If you're being bullied in elementary school you don't get friends. It could be that the bullying drives away friends, or if you had friends you wouldn't get bullied, or the same deficits that cause you to get bullied also cause you not to get friends. Just being in a safe environment is a basic human right.
It's not removed, it's just moved behind a specific toggle. I suspect its one of two things:

1) It's part of parental controls. You can disable in the parental controls the ability to turn off "loud noise reduction", it's possible that since setting to the off mode also disables this, that the toggle exists so that the off mode can be removed from the mode list as well with this restriction in place. I can't validate this because that parental control does not appear to be something you can enforce on your own device when you're the "parent"

2) The medical certifications for the hearing aid functionality require that the device can not be accidentally placed in a state where using the device as "intended" can cause further hearing damage. By placing the mode which disables hearing protection functionality under a separate explicit toggle with notes about what that does, it satisfies the requirement while still allowing the use of the mode.
Depends, Do you have 10 year olds who will work for 18c an hour?

Or do you have consumers who will pay for the difference?
Flatpak 1.16 Improves USB Access, Wayland Integration and Accessibility
It is the same with education. Kids don't get anything if you are using the negative form "don't do this bla bla stop doing that bla bla" and even worse when parents add the confidence sapping "you will fall"/"you will hurt yourself".

It is better to use the positive form: "take your time and make sure you have both feets secured before moving your hand" (on a climbing wall) "stay this distance from the end of the edge of the sidewalk, the bus can pass really close"
But it's not the "folks" that are the factor, generally. The mechanisms of many major social media platforms actively amplify the worst aspects of the worst people, while suppressing the best parts of the best.

Someone put the microphone too close to the speaker. As the feedback rings our ears someone reaches out for the power switch. Do you call out "but the start of the feedback was the music from the band, turning it off won't fix the band"? :)
> The target audience...

True.

> I don't think its a crime of omission...

Nobody else thinks that, either.

Perhaps I should have been longer-winded than "As usual, "? My concern is not particular to this article, nor to The Register. Whether you figure that journalism merely reflects the worldviews of its audience, or that it also shapes those - there seems to be a near-universal "less-privileged people don't exist, or we should never give thought to their welfare" undertone to the whole RTO issue. Historically, that kinda thing was often a bad sign for a society.
ActivityPub is exactly that. Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed, etc.

What you're asking for exists.
Can you elaborate? I like your confidence :) Do you do any coding style interviews? (i had a nice one at my current position which essentially was going through python code to find bugs).
> It's inability to allow you to query on arbitrary attributes/fields without creating a separate index (i.e. copy of the entire collection) is mind-boggling.

This attitude of everybody is incompetent at <Big Company>...I need to teach them, is what is mind-boggling.

Your statement misunderstands the design principles of a system like this one or others similar. It's precisely those design principles that led to not allowing to run arbitrary queries on the backend.

You are trying to optimize for the 99.9th percentiles at massive scale...

It doesn't have to be entirely remote.

I do manual labor. My manager (a very nice guy) must show up on location. After we talk about things I message him and repeat the very things we've talked about so that I have a written record of things.

They have him drive around the country for useless chit chat. If I ask him why stuff isn't done it is always this same excuse. He has to go to meetings where the goal pretty much is to write my whatsapp message on a piece of paper and for other people to hear themselves talk. I sometimes jokingly ask him how it went. The usual response is PFFF, a 5 hour drive for nothing. He manages both the day and the night shifts which adds to the joke.

I think we need to send in the environmentalists so that people can stop burning my gasoline, eroding my roads, killing the birds, stinking up my city, taking my parking spots and wearing out their car.

I propose a special daily commute tax, a flat fee for the first 20 km with extras per additional km and a multiplier for each hour shorter than 8 before the return trip. Lets also do an office tax per square meter.
The example at https://pyper-dev.github.io/pyper/docs/Examples/ChessDataAna... does exactly that.

Facebook was allowed until 2009, it was blocked because it was allegedly used by ETIM to organise the 2009 Urumqi riots, and facebook refused to cooperate with the Chinese police.
Or more likely, just a mystery for yourself.
What content is being censored? Creators are free to post their videos on other platforms.

Also note that the law doesn’t force TikTok to shut down, it requires divestment. The fact that they choose not to divest says a lot about how they view the platform.
Cool, I was just looking for something like this!

It's surprisingly annoying in built-in python to do something like this. The most recent thing I was trying to do was:

- load URLs from a file
- hand them out to one subprocess per cpu
- download them concurrently in threads or async within each subprocess
- pull the results back into a single process for formatting and storing

Getting this to work and handle queues, ctrl-c, exceptions etc. is just a whole mess involving python builtins created at different times with different interfaces; I hacked until I kind of got it working, but didn't love it. Bundling it all in a single tested package would be great.
In my experience, FastMail has better uptime than any of the stuff work relies on. (It feels like one more nine, but I haven’t checked.)

Maybe you could have them randomly suspend your accounts for a few hours here and there to match the public cloud experience. :-)

Edit: Here’s their outage page, which reports > 2-3 nines for most subsystems most months:

https://fastmailstatus.com/

Note that they treat any service degradation as downtime when computing 9’s. For instance, they had one imap server down today, which meant some requests were failing, and that counts against their reported numbers.

By this metric: “One machine is failing requests”, most of the hyperscalers are down all the time.

Regarding actual SLAs with money and stuff: How much is the refund worth vs. the cost of downtime?

Edit 2: Take github for example. They have unreported outages all the freaking time. Down detector says push/pull has been flaky for the last 24 hours, but the official status page says all systems operational, with a minor codespace outage yesterday.

Compare:

https://www.githubstatus.com/

To:

https://downdetector.com/status/github/

To prove those aren’t all false reports, next time they go offline for you, go bask in the green light their status page.

Don't underestimate the human ability to "settle for less" if said less requires less effort from them. There's a reason people pay for Netflix despite pirating proposing a higher level of quality ; Netflix is just easier. They will settle for the "easy" solution, which will be any one of the TikTok clones already existing (YT shorts, reels, whatever).
Yes, google workspace has never been worth it. The difference is that people can easily understand the value of the products they aren't using.
It's wonderful how pseudoscience is a renewable resource. Ghosts, then ESP, then pyramid power, and now cold fusion.
Think of it this way:

"TikTok would rather shut itself off from the U.S. market than divest its ownership from the CCP.

That is not the action of a rational corporation and really tells you who calls the shots at TikTok."
In the free market the monopoly buys out the competitors. No need for banning. Shareholders, the embodiment of greed, will just follow the money.
