Show HN: European Tech List
Below is a community-curated list of recommended European tech projects aimed at supporting and strengthening the European tech ecosystem. European companies often adhere to unique standards like GDPR compliance and sustainability practices, setting global benchmarks in privacy, security, and eco-friendly innovation. This list highlights European startups excelling in these areas, fostering collaboration and inclusivity while contributing to a diverse and resilient global tech landscape.

I’m building a community-driven list of Awesome European Tech to showcase these projects.

Disclaimer: This initiative isn’t about excluding non-European solutions but rather spotlighting European excellence in privacy, sustainability, and innovation. Explore the list and visit the inspiring website: European Alternatives.
Sure, I guess that could happen. Hackernews allows anon data uploads over long periods. How many online services actually do KYC if they don't legally have to?

Any motivated criminal could also just use a book cipher or any number of less trackable options.
I know someone who had 5+ questions accepted after the deadline, as he thought (as was represented on the website) that they would still be eligible for prizes. The lack of clarity is shameful; the minimum that can be done now is complete transparency of the ranking, etc.
This is great. It doesn't paint a full picture, however. It's certainly possible to go farther leveraging the other rail lines in the area: PATH, LIRR, Metro North, NJ Transit Light Rail

If you firmly believe that your job is important and helping people, then it seems reasonable that you would complain and try to get an exception or other people who know of the program would complain. It's not perfect, some people would just be defeatist and assume things are happening at a higher level that they have no control over, even if they think their role is important.

The solution would not be to privatize anything that produces value, the solution would be to assess whether privatization would be a good fit for some of the things that do have value, but don't strictly need to be run by the government.

I'm not assuming anything seamless, but the process would occur before something gets shut down, not after. I didn't get the impression from the article that anything was totally shut down, just some kinds of activities were paused? I'm not really responding specifically to this, so much as just the general critical need to reduce costs.

That said, cutting government costs and people's dependencies on the government down to within a reasonable threshold is in people's best interest.

In China and Russia, so many people work for the government. Keeping people not just employed, but ideologically on the side of the status quo of the government can get out of control. It's convenient in some ways, because you can just create jobs out of thin air if the job market is struggling.

The best interest of the people is definitely not infinite government growth.

Government spends a lot of money too. Spending some money can be in the interests of the people. Spending too much money can flip over to not being in their interest. Spending too much can reduce both the value and the trust (necessarily linked) in the US Dollar, slowly weakening our economic leverage for doing things on behalf of US citizens and our allies.

So just spending infinitely like there's no cost to creating money is also not in people's best interest.

Some projects could fail, some things that were valuable might fall apart, I don't know. Ideally it's done with some finesse and important things are either kept or found a new home. But the logic of compassion significantly favors cutting government spending and government dependency when it gets past some threshold.
If not a subway at least some form of transport that won't get stuck in gridlock. Three examples I can think of are the Wuppertal suspension railway, Las Vegas monorail (though more of a tourist pull than for the locals) and the dedicated Metrobus lanes in Mexico City.

Comments decrying or dismissing the disclosure to the public of long-hoarded information is saying that, IMO, and that's the joke. It sounds like a point no reasonable person would make. "there's too much going on right now for this long-awaited transparency" has got to be the silliest thing I've heard on HN in a while.
I like the way this being proposed in a decentralised manner. Kudos to the author for the effort and thought put in.

However, I am curious what the incentive for publishers is to adopt this standard if those emojis are only relevant for the websites own silo? Use cases like these call for customized deep integrated implementations.

My question is a curious one. I might be missing the big picture and would like to get educated.

I can walk into the polls, ask for a ballot and get one, and then fill it in and deposit it, all without anyone so much as asking who [...] I am.

Source for this claim? They have asked my name every time I have voted in person.

Social Security Number [...] only demonstrates taxes being levied.

Another unsourced claim. The state can, and likely does, check whether the SSN belongs to a citizen or not. Same with state ID, they know whether the ID was issued to a citizen or noncitizen.
> Having been the one in the room most reluctant to talk about politics, Lyuda now couldn’t stop. It turned out that she had a draft-aged son. She desperately wanted to prevent him from going to the front. But, when asked if the war should end and whether Russia should withdraw its troops, she suddenly changed her perspective. She said that she’d been watching all the media channels and knew for certain that the United States, not Russia, was the one killing civilians in Ukraine.

Some interesting anecdotes in the article and they do all hit home. Media-literacy isn’t a Russia-specific problem.
Port it to using SST (https://sst.dev) then you can more easily experiment with different cloud providers’ costs by deploying to A, B and C service.

SST uses Pulumi so (per other comments) there are constructs for Hetzner among other budget hosts.
This is the right answer. Further, its not an open market - every OEM with scale demands a closed stack that isn’t interoperable with other computing systems by default.

It’s specifically because there is no domestic robot production capacity that can meet the requirements. I’ve been buying mostly Chinese robots cause nothing domestic can compete.

Neither BD nor pickle nor cobot etc can actually do what unitree and DJI have done at scale - it’s just a fact.

The root of this is that PE and Venture aren’t investing in US manufacturing - full stop. So they wait around for the govt to invest in infrastructure and then follow on sheepishly.

I’m not seeing the same kind of “private” investment in massive robotic projects so until that happens we’re going to lag on SOTA with US robots

I was once interviewed by someone who is quite famous in the industry, even then, and he looked at my program for his test and said “This can’t possibly work.” And then later I got the job offer because he’d figured it out and it totally worked.

Um, no, I can't actually. Like, not even close to being able to relate to what you're suggesting. These are all single frames and frozen in time. Watching any of these actually moving would even reduce that possibility even further.
Among the big ones I find it hard to not be surrounded by nazis or other forms of eugenics enthusiasts regardless of their moderation. On Mastodon it's easy to do. Some say Bluesky has a fix for it but I dislike the people promoting it the hardest too so I didn't check.

Though I have to do a cleaning on Mastodon, shut away the Threads people that crop up on there now.

Don't buy things that need a cloud integration and it's not really a risk.

Even if you don't use Home Assistant, their site is really good for helping with this--every integration lists a "class" like "Local Polling" or "Cloud Push".

Another shortcut is picking up a Zwave/Zigbee dongle (~$30 when I got mine) and buying products that work with that. If the only radio in the device is one that can pair to a local controller, it's a relatively easy way to ensure it's meant to work locally without a cloud integration. (If Kwikset has a bad quarter I'll never know--my door lock only communicates as far as my utility room.)

Besides "the company can't screw me over", if everything is running locally it also immediately limits the privacy and security implications. And ensures your house doesn't break if the internet goes out.

Ask HN: How do you get over typed languages?
Hi HN,

I had to put some prototype together in python and I just find it hard to work with it now. Python is something I used to regularly write and then ship code asap, now all the various scenarios where it can fail just runs in my head and I end up implementing multiple strict checks in places and even then I'm just bothered about future changes breaking these things. I'm skeptical and I have to go and write a lot of tests so that thins don't break and some of them are just silly tests like checking value is in the correct domain. I don't mean to particularly bash on python. Since its not Python's fault.
Same goes for JS, I can no longer write plain JS now. I just reach for TS. This is partly due to the fact that I was working on typed code(TS[0] and Java[1]) for last few months. And some of the code in there required correctness guarantees, and it was just easier to reach out for typed language since I get many of the checks for free. However after going there, I find it hard to come back to writing dynamic languages now.
Once I've realized that typed languages allow me to restrict my domain and the guarantee that this function can just bother about this restricted domain. I worry free write my code and the tests. I get some sense of confidence in what I'm building.
This obsession with staticly typed language has been making me unproductive.
And I can't find myself going back to it, even for something like scheme which I love so much I just can't find myself going back to it.

# Footnotes
[^0]: Strongly typed TS, no any, and for dynamic values, used to use unknown parse into a known type and then continue with that.
Ye there are some downsides here too, for e.g: I was not able to maintain few guarantees here like : if I take X = XS[0], there is no way for typescript to guarantee that X is a value is that is guaranteed to be contained in XS.

[^1]: Yea, Java type system is not the best, I have to use hacks like inheritance to make somethings work, anyway its better than no type system, especially I hate that java allows null which is a major source of annoyance for me and i keep wrapping values in that Optional monad.

==========

TLDR: How do you manage to code in dynamic languages after being exposed to static typing.
I'd like to offer that it also depends on the utility of the domain. If I got a bug bounty submission that demonstrated takeover of b2938978-us-east-2-testing-box.mycompany.com I would classify it as less severe than if you were able to take over say, signin.mycompany.com (even if signin.mycompany.com hasn't ever been in use) since that's highly valuable for phishing. And of course, a subdomain like api.mycompany.com that is in active use, that would probably be the most severe of all since you might be able to say, tell all garage door openers that phone home to immediately open.
Yes, it does. Just as it did matter that some Germans stood up against the Nazis, some Israelis protesting against the treatment of Palestinians, and not all Americans owned slaves.

It’s important to keep in mind that no society is entirely antagonistic, that there’s actual humans on the other side of the fence.
In 1930s California’s population boom had just started. There were 5 million people in the state, split between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Both cities had electric trams, but the demand for regional rail wasn’t high enough to electrify it.

Even today it’s not uncommon to de-electrify lower-volume rights of way.
First line in the article: "Providing up to $5,000 in AWS Promotional Credit to nonprofits around the world"
Russians are fed up with the current government and recognize that its leaders not only profit from the war but also from exploiting and selling out the country.

For example, former President Medvedev owns vineyards in Tuscany. The spokesperson Peskov’s daughter, Liza, owns penthouses in Paris with views of the Champs-Élysées. Many officials have moved their wealth abroad, including to the United States. A former mayor of Khabarovsk, a key city near the Chinese border, left Russia, purchased multiple properties in California, and is frequently spotted at a well-known banya in San Francisco.

The list goes on.

Ordinary citizens see this happening and are increasingly determined to avoid mandatory military drafts—just as it’s currently happening in Ukraine.

I find the game more about reading the people on your team (and the other team) to understand how they think.

You have to give entirely different clues depending on the people you play with.

Sometimes you can also play adversarial and introduce doubt into the opposing team by giving topic-adjacent clues that cause them to avoid one of their own cards. It works better if someone on the other team tends to be a big doubter. It also can work when the other team constantly goes back and tries to pick n+1 cards that they think they missed from the last round, which gives you a lot of room to psychologically mess with them.

Sometimes you have a clue that only really matches 2, but because only 1 of the wrong matches is a neutral card and you could match 2 more by a massive stretch, you say “4.” Worse case, they get 2 right but then they pick the neutral card but in the best case, you stand to gain 4 for a clue that should only match 2.

I like Codenames because they are many meta ways to play the game. What makes Codenames unique is that, unlike a lot of other games (Catan, Secret Hitler, CAH, etc.), it’s an adversarial team game where the team dynamics and discussions are not secret so you can use them to your advantage.
Evidence of object permanence, causality across five different ungulate species
Well okay, let's walk the goalposts back. Suppose there was some radical UBI scheme in place and now you get paid the same amount for working as you would for not working. There is no financial incentive to do any piece of work, but also no financial punishment for not working. Do you think most people would still go to their jobs? I think no. Most people are only motivated to work by the financial reward they get from working, not some fundamental desire to sit in an office for hours of the day.

Quite frankly, I see people with your attitude as the real bad ones to work for. Expecting people to have a work ethic beyond what you pay them for, or to pretend to be passionate about whatever you're selling, these are the real red flags you should look out for when applying to a job. Not someone expecting you to do what you're told. I am exchanging my labour for money, and I think both parties understanding that is the bedrock of good professional relationship.
Interesting perspective, but it really seems like state capitals just tend to siphon money from far away to invest nearby, and consequently, grow. Selecting a major city as your capital seems to accelerate the process, but even countries which select minor towns as their capitals have had this happen.
Depends what your transfer process looks like. Some of those trains are not very frequent at all outside the 9-5 commute pattern.
Indeed, the original press release (https://scale.com/blog/humanitys-last-exam) makes clear that "People who submit successful questions will be invited as coauthors on the paper for the dataset and have a chance to win money from a $500,000 prize pool."

Successful questions would be interpreted as being included in the dataset corresponding to the public publication of the benchmark and results. "Have a chance" would be interpreted as "have a non-zero probability".

Essentially, the press release promised that contributors of "successful questions" would be coauthors on the dataset paper and have a chance to win from a $500,000 prize pool. Excluding questions deemed "successful" because they were submitted after a deadline—when the terms did not clearly disqualify them and all public communication in fact encouraged them to submit—violates the implied agreement and would constitute bad faith, misrepresentation, and breach of contract.

Ask HN: I need interviews with datacenter employees for a grad school project
I’m a material science grad student at UC Berkeley doing a datacenter sustainability project for the school of Haas’ Lean Launchpad class. We are supposed to do over 100 customer discovery interviews over the course of the semester for the project.

These are NOT sales calls. Just trying to do research for the class.

Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thank you.
