I worked nearly 100 hrs per week at the beginning of my twenties. Between an undergraduate engineering program, business school minors, a busy college life, running a boutique software agency for small-to-medium sized businesses, and creating & building startups of my own, it took its toll.
A couple years later, I was completely burnt without knowing it. I only realized it after talking with others about the not-so-admirable things I had been feeling, something many like myself hesitate to do when trying to grow into the leaders we aspire to be. It was at that point that my situation became clear.
I ended up taking almost two years away from any form of work in order to bring balance back to not only my mind, but my life as well. Suffice it to say this process was not as simple as it sounds.
I implore anyone caught in the “just keep going with everything despite the stress, you’re almost there” mentality to consider what is driving you and if it is healthy for you in the long run. Being healthy and happy, with loved ones abound, is tremendously underrated by types like myself.
This is quite impressive for ‘94, thank you for sharing.
I found it funny - in a “how ridiculous/silly” kind of way - that at 4:40 we get to look inside a building by entering through its windows, but here we are in the 21st century with that exact capability. Individuals providing photos and/or footage of the interior of their commercial space does not seem so silly these days.
In the meantime, most users with that anticheat software installed presume that it is simply looking out for them, in terms of eliminating cheaters in __ video game, and could not possibly be doing the nefarious things you mention. Yet, all of us working in software know this is not a far stretch, given the application is already designed to gather information about the environment surrounding the running game. We have a long way to go with software, put simply..
I’m going to take a guess that perhaps it has to do with Google’s ability to continue to commercially operate in China.
Perhaps X leadership from Google spoke with Y leadership from China and reached this compromise in order to avoid a potential all-out ban of Google’s services in China, similar to - though nowhere close to the same reasoning behind - the US’ ban of Huawei telecommunications equipment.
PLEASE NOTE that this is purely conjecture. I am not affiliated with Google or China, in any way, shape, or form. This should not be taken as fact.
Proprietary and Git don’t really go well together. Anyone can use Git and you certainly don’t have to use this or any additional software with it. I’ve never used Tower, as everything I’ve wanted to do in Git has been accomplishable via the command line.
The necessity of this article is debatable however. As with the majority (all?) of software products (excluding games), there’s often always that “this tool solves a problem we had ourselves” component. A somewhat shallow piece of content marketing is what this appears to be.
This could be quite a revolutionary find so long as the research can be replicated and validated.
However, we may be a ways off from seeing it actually implemented…
> The team says the exact mechanism behind this extreme thermal stability isn't totally clear, but that perhaps bond lengths, angles and oxygen atom positions are changing in concert with one another to preserve the overall volume.
With that said, I am optimistic and very hopeful that answers - and a more elaborate description of its operation and its operational boundaries - are discovered soon. Only then could I see, say, the USAF utilizing this as the “skin” for their latest generation craft, particularly, UAVs or missiles operating at Mach >=5.
> Zerodium customers are government organizations (mainly from Europe and North America) in need of advanced zero-day exploits and cybersecurity capabilities.
Based off Zerodium’s origin and reputation, it seems an exploit is sought which enables a governmental actor to examine information that it otherwise could not. I am assuming they do not have a legal basis for doing so or courts would have granted/ordered such access.
[Unrelated to the core topic] Is anyone else on mobile only seeing the first paragraph? If I open the article on desktop, I see the full article, but on mobile, it simply ends after that paragraph (followed by a featured video about the “dreaded 7-10 split”). There’s no “Continue Reading” (or similar) button/link and no notice that I may have exceeded a monthly limit of “free articles”.
> ..[the] space debris problem does seem to be increasing. Last year, the ISS had to perform emergency maneuvers three times in order to avoid collisions with space debris at its altitude of around 400 kilometers (250 miles).
I wish I could do something about this. What can an “ordinary” civilian in the US do to help? Are we limited to electing politicians with the hope they follow through on a potential campaign promise?
This will not play out well for FL in courts. Just because you can sue someone does not mean that you should. In this scenario, the state is risking taxpayer monies with every new suit.
A case out of Miami, FL that reached the U.S. Supreme Court is nearly directly applicable [1].
This will not play out well for FL in courts. Just because you can sue someone does not mean that you should, as you can fail and waste taxpayer monies in this scenario. There is a U.S. Supreme Court case out of MIA that is almost directly applicable [1].
It’s too bad the core website didn’t go down with it. I believe the majority of users, at least those in the USA where FB is based, would be better off without it.
A week-long FB outage would surely result in a very interesting study of society’s response and adaptation to said event.
This seems like a fun, educational project, yet I am surprised to see this on the front page of HN given that the article is - at its core - promotional material for Twilio and was submitted by “Director of Developer Content @ Twilio”. We surely do not need Twilio or Airtable to send data to displays/monitors/screens.
