Sales organizations are often the most game-theoretic rational folks in an organization: a large fraction of their compensation is directly attributable to recent efforts.

That doesn't make them honest or efficient or trustworthy, just canny and responsive.

By way of contrast, operations can only be seen negatively (if things are working, that's normal, and if things are not, that's bad) and development usually has conflicting incentives (stability! and features! and responsiveness! and bugfixes!) with cycle times and group responsibilites obscuring attribution.
I think there is a little difference in culpability between directly sending money or traveling to a terror cell vs contacting buyers to purchase artifacts.

If my local church was attempting to support African businesses by purchasing goods but the buyer was getting good from a factory that used slave labor, I would expect the FBI to come talk to the church as well.
According to TFA, that's exactly what the manager did.

Can you elaborate why you think nuclear is more efficient and safer than solar and wind? As far as I'm aware, the opposite is true: Nuclear energy is far more expensive than e.g. solar, for which costs continue to go down. While I understand that nuclear reactors are safe (if handled correctly), history has proven that freak accidents can and do happen. Also, waste storage mustn't be ignored either. How are solar and wind more dangerous?

Not true about flying. My family was definitely middle class, and we made several trips on jet airplanes, along with many other non-upper class people, in the mid-60s.

Although perhaps I misunderstand your point--if your point is about someone else carrying the bags, maybe. But if that's the case, then why restrict it to flying, as opposed to travel by train or car?
You should be able to send data and record it in a way that measures local geometry like hands since there's a microphone array like this, interesting.

> We could have had a steam engine during the Roman Empire and thus an Industrial Revolution thousands of years earlier

My understanding is that no, it couldn't have happened at that time because metallurgy wasn't good enough at the time for anything beyond toys.
The whole thread is WILD, and the fact that it was verified is crazy. But the actual text of the thread is horrifying:

On one hand, they say they complain about "bailing out Europe". But on the other hand, they explicitly moved up the timeline so they could move before other actors and take credit.

> "If the US successfully restores freedom of navigation at great cost there needs to be some further economic gain extracted in return."

So to be clear, when presented with the option to wait a month, they instead explicitly choose to act decisively for political reasons. And then they want to turn around and extort European allies over it.

Wow not my experience at all.

The MBP mic is generally preferable to most headset boom mics in my experience with good noise reduction. You also get the benefit of not picking up extraneous mouth noises (gum chewing, coffee slurping, whatever)

I feel like 99% of people I conference with use regular headphones + MBP mic

Main problem with that setup is not being able to hear your own voice in the headphones (feedback, or whatever that's called) which can be annoying sometimes if using NC headphones

AFAICT, this is *not* a "European Union's (EU) initiative for developing a new Linux distribution initiative".

This is:

- a "*Community-led Proof-of-Concept* for a free Operating System for the EU public sector" (https://eu-os.gitlab.io/?ref=news.itsfoss.com#what-is-eu-os),

- that community being led by a one person team (https://gitlab.com/eu-os/eu-os.gitlab.io/-/project_members),

- and with only 4 commits in its repository (https://gitlab.com/eu-os/workspace-images/eu-os-base-demo/-/...).

"Can this Linux-powered operating system disrupt Windows' hold in the European Union?"

Can a one-person PoC do that?

"The European Union has its own Linux Distribution and it's Called EU OS"

I cannot find any link to any EU announcements on that subject.

IMO, that article is very naïve...
I had PRP done in 2008 for $1K and it healed a 8 year old persistent knee injury within 3 months.

That said I’m not sure if it’s necessarily the stem cells that did the healing or just the general irritation of the area that reminds the body that it might want to reexamine healing that specific area. I believe the French were injecting irritants in the 90s (forgot what chemical it was). Because PRP is injecting something sourced from your own body it can skip many regularity steps that would be required by some other chemical. I don’t know how much of PRP is simply a low regulation irritant and how much of it is stem cells, my guess it’s more the former than the latter.

Edit; Googling it now: Prolotherapy which has a long rich history, modern PRP alternatives seem to be salt and or sugar water based. Seems like some studies suggest there isn’t much difference in outcomes between salt water injections and PRP injections.

Addendum; it was one of the most painful surgeries I’ve done, I’m anesthetic resistant and they used basically none off it. An ultrasound was used for guiding the needle. The injury location was in the back of the knee and they wanted to be careful they didn’t inject into a nerve. When asked how would they know if they hit a nerve, they responded “your screams of pain will go up an octave”. They did hit a nerve and I let them know it.
I'm totally with you on the value prop at the time we signed up. I was more surprised that it sounds like you are reluctant to delete now, when the company is going through an unpredictable transition.

Did I get that right? If so, is there an ongoing value you want to maintain, or it more out of respect for the organization that provided you value in the past?
So basically a kind of passive echolocation?

I like it. I think you'd need to be in known motion around the area to build up a picture -- I don't think it would work with a microphone just sitting in place.
For a particular enthusiast this must be devastating. Professional photographers, heavy travelers, family archivists. A couple months ago, they would have decided it was worth having Google hang onto this and now it's gone.

Hopefully this fuels more complete self-managed backup solutions. We already have good options for system-level backups (i.e. Time Machine) and although we have the low-level tools (such as restic), the turnkey experience is missing for things we don't keep at hand on a local device, but still treasure.

Perhaps I'm wrong? I guess it slots in with a larger desire to streamline the takeout process from all the tech giants. A trustworthy (must be open source) app you can feed your credentials to and have it automatically run a Takeout-like on each of these accounts. Then provide an encrypted local backup.

Also the grandparent comment correctly noted that all Americans lost rights in the ruling, which is accurate. Any American could get a job at a closely held company and not be extended contraceptive coverage.

This is a fascinating paper with a lot of interesting context, the mid-1900s were a different time for medical ethics.

I grew up in the Adventist church and it's been wild seeing it drift so far from its original distinguishing stances.

When I was a kid, I primarily went to Adventist schools. However, one year after my family moved there wasn't an Adventist school available. I went to a local evangelical school instead. It was a real eye-opener.

The evangelical school had a program of outright child brain-washing about abortion that I'd never heard as an Adventist. As a fifth grader I was getting daily updates about the Supreme Court nomination battle over (disgaced Nixon lackey) Robert Bork, because as early as the eighties court packing was a core strategy for anti-choice movement. There was daily news about abortion protests they were running. When I went home and asked my parents about it, they told me as Adventists we had the bible's stance on abortion: the bible says nothing about abortion. Adventists hospitals even allowed abortions to be performed on prem since they had no doctrinal problem with it.

Fast forward to now, a lot of Adventist members are loudly anti-choice, anti-vaccine (the church leadership had to post a very delicately worded statement about vaccines because they operate respectable medical schools, and had to please both the many facebook-addled cranks in their pews as well as the sane professionals in their medical school staff), generally indistinguishable from generic right-wing evangelicals. The Adventist core membership of today I have no doubt would've been mostly pro-slavery and definitely would have no qualms about shooting people in war.

The paper talks about the church's effort to go from 'sect' (firm moral stances putting them at odds with the majority) to 'denomination' (compromising their morals to fit in), and the church of today I'd say has run as far away as they could from being a sect.

There are umpteenth ways to do that, and I find headsets themselves do it the most poorly of all (if they have the feature at all).

In Rissua Alexander Mozhaysky sometimes considered an inventor of the airplain or at least mentinoed alongside Wrigth brothers when aviation history is discussed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Mozhaysky

IMHO arguing about who was the first it's good to keep in mind that: 1. inventions don't happen in a vacuum - they rely on the work of predecessors 2. some inventions/discoveries are mande by different people/teams independently around the same time.
Huh? Who's talking about bookshelf speakers?

This is about laptop speakers that just pass audio directly through, vs. laptop speakers that process the audio including spatially. Yes, it sounds dramatically better. And it's not just about "fake 5.1" but even just mono or stereo.

External speakers are a totally different conversation.

This is a large part of why I think we need to move manufacturing for domestic products back to the US.

The argument was always that the labor and regulations cost too much but the labor abuse and pollution are costing us more.
Great work! Awesome to see more companies in the Obsidian ecosystem.
Have you considered making an Obsidian focused landing page / brand?

I imagine that for Obsidian users having Notion as an option is a distraction, and vice versa. The "all your data in one place on your machine" resonates strongly, and then "or in another cloud" kind of waters down the concept.
This is very true, and I think an underappreciated point specifically for utilities, so I hope you don't mind if I expand quite a bit on your excellent point. What "deregulation" means in Texas is that there's a competitive market for electricity generation, and that those who invest in the cheapest methods of production can make profits, and those who made poor investments can lose money. This "deregulation" is merely what we think of as "normal" in market economies, where normal competition allows for greater economic efficiency.

We are in an era where clean energy is the cheapest energy, and the biggest impediment to the transition is merely being allowed to put the energy on the grid. Go around the country, and the queue to get interconnected to the grid is one of the biggest stumbling blocks. Another huge stumbling block is the procedure for acquiring new electricity generation assets, typically done through IRPs for five years out, based on out-dated data. This is the "standard" regulatory regime in the US, though its highly fractured and there are many many variations.

In this highly "regulated" environment, the corporations have already completely captured the market, and have often bribed the Public Utility Commissions to achieve their own goals.

Deregulation in Texas means less corporate capture, more of a chance for smaller startups to deploy, and a faster energy transition now that the cheapest technology is clean technology.
> you're not thinking in patterns

It's not that... well, it might be, but I use pattern matching fairly regularly in a number of languages. But Rust has hijacked the variable syntax and changed it beyond recognition: there's no matching operator being used; the same code does different things based on its surroundings:

// This causes a compilation error
let Some(work) = inbox.pop()

// But putting it 1:1 within a while statement is fine?
while let Some(work) = inbox.pop() { /* ... */ }

Whereas, with Java's pattern matching:

while (inbox.poll() instanceof final Work work) { /* ... */ }

It borrows the variable declaration syntax too, which can be extracted fine without issue, but there's an operator being used to express that pattern matching is happening.

Different languages have different uses, histories, and quirks, yes, and this is by no means to suggest that Java is a better language or that it doesn't have its own flaws. But Rust coopting of that syntax makes the language harder to learn and harder to comprehend at a glance, in my opinion. It seems to be like one of those situations where, once you learn it, it's fine, but that's my point.
Think about it all the time. But, I find it overwhelming and shutdown.

I'll just enumerate my random thoughts

* If you're worried about nations, remember that they can, quite literally, send ninjas-in-attack-helicopters at you.

* Most nations already have "laws" that "require" you to provide passwords/data access on demand[4ab].

* If you use any "cloud", there's a high likelihood that they're already backdoored, either through legal means (i.e. through National Security Letters) or "not so legal, but who's going to stop them?" means such as just plain old hacking[1]

* All consumer CPUs already have builtin backdoors that can't really (but kind of, but who really know if it's effective) be disabled[2abc]

* Most printers print secret codes on printed documents that link back to the printer[3]

* I have no control over device firmware and some important drivers. I really don't know what my network card firmware is doing when I'm not using it and it has DMA to my system RAM. I "need" nvidia proprietary drivers to have a decent experience, no idea what they actually do.

* Nearly every piece of software includes some form of "Analytics" or "Telemetry", which often doesn't actually turn off when you click the stupid opt-out button.

West Germany wasn't, practically, occupied post-1955. It was formally occupied because the Cold War meant the USSR had no interest in signing off on the Western settlement with West Germany, just as the Western powers didn't with East Germany, and given the Potsdam Arrangement actually formally ending the occupation required that.

Because we cannot afford, geopolitically, to have a hostile rival nation with whom we may in the next decade be at war control our energy. There is no if, and, or but about that.

Of course, most of said solar and battery tech was originally developed by Americans; chinese bought old patents, bought companies out of bankruptcy, and threw obscene amounts of state capital at developing it further. and now we're stuck with crap like CATL owning a huge amount of the advanced battery market. The implication that this is "just what the market decided" and that we must concede to the artificial scenario beijing has constructed, likely with the express intent of gaining leverage over more nations, is ridiculous.

Instead, we should mass-invalidate every single chinese-owned patent. She built her economy on stealing ours anyhow. Do it ourselves, or rely on allied/subordinate nations for manufacturing.

Hey HN,

I got frustrated with job boards showing irrelevant listings, so I built First 2 Apply—a desktop app that aggregates job postings and uses LLMs to filter them based on your exact tech stack.

Instead of relying on keyword matching, the app processes each job description to check if it genuinely aligns with your skills. I use it to find remote React/Node/Express roles while filtering out jobs that require Angular, PHP, or anything outside my stack.

I built this for myself, but figured others might find it useful too. Would love to hear thoughts, especially from those searching for jobs or working on similar problems!
