Find a big corporation. The amount of income per unit of work is proportional to the size of the corporation and how 'evil' it is.

Also, the % of all company shares which is owned by the executives and board members is also a major factor. The less 'skin in the game' the executives have, the more money you will get as an employee for the least amount of work.

Also whether or not the company has an industry monopoly has a huge impact as well.

A multi-billion dollar corporation which is considered 'evil' (e.g. gambling, corporate finance, advertising, big tech, ...) and whose executives and board members don't own many shares and which has a monopoly over its industry is going to pay much more for a lot less work because nobody cares about the company's mission. The company is just one giant piggy bank for everyone to tap into. Everyone's goal is just to extract more money out of the company, often executives will pay low level employees more because then it allows them to also pay themselves more without raising alarms (helps to keep employees happy so that nobody questions it).

When you have few executives and board members who own company shares, it means that you can factor out the shareholders from the equation. At the end of the day, the shareholders are the only ones who exert any real pressure on the employees to deliver and if they are not well represented on the company board, then the employees will not feel any pressure - Everyone will just do as little as they think they can get away with.

I've worked for companies like this in the past. One of them was a big multi-billion dollar gambling corporation with a monopoly and paid really well and I barely did any work. I literally took 1 week to implement something which could have been done in half a day and managers only gave me positive feedback. I was one of the most efficient employees there.

I spent most of the day thinking about what I would be having for lunch, checking my emails, social media, watching YouTube videos, listening to music, sharing videos with colleagues, talking with colleagues and I could always go to the restaurant for lunch because it was very well paid. I often had 2 hour lunch with colleagues. Also, it was a contract position, so if I didn't feel like coming to work one day, I would just not go (just send an email in the morning) and nobody ever complained. A colleague once came to work in his pajamas, obviously he had been taking drugs the night before and nobody said anything at the meeting.
Here I have an explicit "FizzBuzz" but only 2 checks. Do you consider this also broken?

Proper (?) writing style says the first time you introduce an acronym, such as the dreaded Three Letter Acronym (TLA), you write out the acronym the first time you use it and put the abbreviation in parentheses.

It makes sense to do this for notation in all fields where the reader might become confused. I'm not sure a standard is needed, maybe only a movement of reviewers rejecting papers containing the vagaries.
It seems to me that there are three different arguments going on here.

First: from a legal perspective, the work itself is considered a service, and the illegal copying/consuming of that work is legally considered "theft of services." You may not like this definition, but it is the law of the land (for some values of "land" including the US of A.)

Second, there is the economic argument. Here, you are claiming that "scarcity of resources constitutes the core of Economics." This may (or may not) be the case, but the notion of intellectual property currently has a place firmly within the domain of economics, even if not at its core. Again, you may wish it weren't, but intellectual property is a mainstream economic notion.

Finally, there is the moral argument, which seems to be that "copying should be permitted, since it does not take anything corporeal away from anybody." In this case, I think the case of JRR Tolkien is instructive; you may recall that a US publisher, Ace paperbacks, printed and sold copies of "The Lord of the Rings" when another publisher (Ballantine) actually had the rights. The Ballantine edition contained a plea from Tolkien stating that "Those who approve of courtesy (at least) to living authors will purchase it and no other."

Morally, I am with Tolkien on this one. I think that common courtesy (at least) requires that the people responsible for creating a work of art be remunerated for that work by those wishing to partake of it, if they so desire.
HN gives me `what matters`. No much time for anything else after finishing daily dose of HN. When I really got nothing else to do, Reddit.
I would suggest a "three strikes" approach. The program warns you (because it may not be your fault) then the program blocks you for, say, 30 days and then you are banned.

Disclaimer: I was banned from AdSense too and I still don't know what happened. Since my site had very low traffic, I suspect even one well meaning fan could clickfraud me into nonexistence.
There's a difference between:

1) fraudulent clicks that could be generated by a botnet

2) instructions on the site itself that you have control over telling your visitors to click on ads to make you more money.

I don't want to come across as defending google on this. They could use a lot more hands on customer service. This sort of sudden termination is scary and sucks. I'm just pointing out, there is unjustified termination (which also happens) and termination based on willful fraud.

One of the comments clarifies that ext4 won't be used for the entire storage subsystem:

Yup, our main motivation here was to select a filesystem to work on top of emmc which has built-in block rotation and translation and looks like a regular block device (similar to ssds on desktop systems). At this point ext4 seems to our eyes to be the most stable and performant option of the standard linux filesystems that support full unix permissions and semantics.

We use ext4 for the system image (read only), and the local user data and cache partitions (read-write). A separate FAT partition is used for media storage, since that’s still the least-common-denominator needed for USB Mass Storage to “Just Work” with PCs and Macs.
For post-gingerbread we’re investigating alternatives to UMS which would allow us to stop using FAT for media/external storage entirely.
This likely hints to a bigger issue that people that participate in clinical trials tend to participate in more than one (enough so that rumors can circulate through these populations). Therefore, how representative of the public are these trials if they attract a certain demographic?
very nice to hear that you found it useful!
That much is true, but it is still thrown around at every oportunity, just look at the whole systemd discussion.

> And I'm personally not a fan of UNIX culture

Personally, I have learn a lot from UNIX and it allowed me quite a few interesting job opportunities in my career.

But I was also part of Amiga, BeOS, Windows, Demoscene, Oberon cultures, so in the end I enjoy systems that try new paths.

And even though I don't agree with Rob Pike ideas for Go, I surely agree with his opinion about UNIX.
> Would you show up for your job tomorrow if they stopped paying you? If the answer is "no", I sincerely hope you are looking for a job that the answer could be "yes". If you aren't, then I assert you are in the process of tacit self-immolation.

I haven't yet found a job that pays me to sit around and read a lot, or spend time with my girlfriend, or take long walks in the woods to think, or any of the other things I would actually do whether I got paid or not.

Let me know if you know where I can find one. It's not that I don't enjoy my work. I just don't enjoy it enough to do on any kind of regular basis without getting paid. Maybe one day I'll somehow come into money and never have to work again, but otherwise I'll be spending the rest of my life in self-immolation.

I guess I should feel a little envious of people that enjoy their job so much they'd do it without getting paid, but most of the time I can't muster it up. Most work most people do just seems so dreary to me.
As someone who is an American-born-Nigerian and my wife, born and raised in Nigeria, I can confirm this.

My wife got malaria all the time in Nigeria, it was like a really bad cold or a flu in America. You get over it and move on. Only if your immune system is already compromised in some other way like old age or whatever malaria isn't really that big a deal among those who were strong and healthy before getting it. Instead of trying to stop malaria, focus on how they can get food. If they're well fed and strong/healthy, the malaria won't kill 'em just like it didn't kill my wife or any of her 5 siblings, or her university classmates, or my parents, or their siblings, etc. Now, there are those in Africa who don't have plenty to eat and/or have stressful daily lives that prevent getting a couple of days of rest. That is what allows malaria to kill so many. Just like the flu in America would kill a whole lot more often if there was a lack of food or inability to get consecutive days of rest.
Yes, I agree with you. I made the assumption that the state would likely end up collecting through payrolls or something like that. Perhaps a tax credit to businesses for employees losing hours to parenting and a tax increase on the other employees.
Because that's what the word means? "Nourishing; efficient as food." Obviously what efficient means is different in different contexts. They mean not going hungry or starving to death. We no longer think of that as an issue of course, and tend to worry about other food issues, which is their entire point.

I don't think the McDouble is truly the cheapest per Calorie. Perhaps they man taste/desirability which is more subjective.

Yeah I realize I am a bit reserved in my description, and it is incredible that a phone can be used to do what its doing. I really like this product and I'm glad somebody is making a self upgradeable module you can put in a car and get these features, as opposed to them being trapped in a model year's trim level and irreversibly obsolete like other modern car electronics.

My main goal was to provide a reference to its capabilities without invoking "self driving".

In this particular use case, I would heartily recommend the Zephyrus G14.

It can come with a RTX 2060 (Max Q / low voltage) which supports CUDA; as well as Ryzen 9 4900HS, which was the fastest mobile CPU until the 5000 series mobile Ryzen came out.

The 2060 + 4900HS has gone on sale at Best Buy for $1199 multiple times late last year (just check slickdeals).

I think it’s absolute steal of a machine for that price. Not to mention that it’s beautifully built, is lightweight, has an amazing matte color accurate screen, etc.

There’s also a fan sub for this particular laptop with over 13k subscribers (as of today) on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ZephyrusG14/
Are any of these benchmarks actually using the M! "ML"/"AI" hardware?
They possibly can. Nearly all of them are in China, and nearly all of them are owned by a single company that manufactures the ASIC processors that do the mining.

This is why I'm not a bitcoin maximalist and I'm not a huge fan of it. I have a suspicion that eventually it will fail.

OCD is a legitimate medical condition. It is very difficult to manage and really can mess your life up. It's not some quirky quality. Waking up on a Saturday morning and organizing your book shelf according to colour is not OCD.
As someone who lives in a place where cycling traffic (i.e., completely silent traffic) is massive (Amsterdam), I would suggest this is just a matter of careless habit in a car dominated society.

The only people not looking, relying in their ears and therefor constantly causing dangerous traffic situations over here are tourists. Those are the only ones blindly stepping into traffic because they don't hear the bicycles coming and therefor assume there is no traffic.

The need to have traffic go "vroom, vroom" in order to avoid accidents is just pathetic, and utterly unsustainable in a future where all traffic is likely to be silent by nature.

Imagine living a place that would be as nice an quiet as a village on a sunday if it wasn't for all those vehicles creating artificially amplified noise pollution. Ridiculous.
I don't know if it's statistically valid, but I've used methods similarly based on this to do calculations like you're talking for a role similar to what you described.

There are more subtleties that it might be important for you to take into account - primarily:

1) need to sample fairly extensively before/after outage to calibrate more accurately against Holt-Winters (the Holt-Winters seasonal projection should accurately project the trend, but actual numbers are probably running at some slight or significant rate above/below projections)

2) When running those samples, it's important to sample data where you believe the data points are definitely not impacted by the outage. This is often quite challenging since outages sometimes might span low / peak traffic periods or ramp-up/down periods.

3) Finally, it can be hard to pinpoint the actual start / end of the event (the identify the time samples you want to consider in your measurement for the outage cost). Particularly the end, since there's often some pressure for queued operations (by software or by your users who are itching to complete what they were trying to do) that may make your samples fluctuate. That backfill pressure can be substantial and is important to not ignore in your measurement of the actual cost of the issue. Say you're a retail site - if you have a 15 minute period of 50% order drop but the first 5 minutes where service is restored, the total order rate was 50% above projections. Do you count that as 15 minutes of 50% order drop, or 10 minutes of 50% order drop? Both are legitimate but it's important to know what metric you're measuring yourself against so you're as correct / honest as you can be.

Speaking from experience this process does have demerits. For example - how long before you decide that the hill you just climbed is not the highest. It's easier to figure out that a banking career is not for you but it's not that easy to figure out that a startup job is not for you.
Maybe Geoff Loftus can provide a reference so the world can stop looking. Just because its in an article from a contributor to Forbes doesn't make it factual. It just means he thought Churchill said it when he wrote his article. Musk did the very same thing.
I've reinvented the wheel myself and made "pype" (link below).

I've been using python on the command line for quite a while, but I found that I tend to use it when I'm doing something a little more advanced than what can easily be done with standard Linux tools - and command line python would often fail me, because I couldn't easily do conditions or loops, because of the requirement for whitespace indenting. So pype contains a simple parser that'll convert bracket indented code to regular whitespace indented code, besides supporting all the stuff you want on the command line.

Qualcomm is widely known to be cozy with certain clandestine agencies. I'm quite certain, nay, positive, that this kill switch can be abused by government agents and police forces. How long until this is used against dissenters? Against protesters in some Middle Eastern dictatorship?

Hell, how long until the NYPD rolls out a Stingray with kill-switch-tripping capability?

I'm betting not long.

The world needs an open baseband processor and accompanying OS/firmware.
The DMCA is deliberately designed to discourage recipients of takedown notices for doing any verification beyond that the notices ate in the correct form before complying, since the safe harbor only applies when a proper (in form) notice is complied with and there is expressly no liability that can attach for complying with a formally correct notice that is substantively incorrect.

So I'd assume any due diligence is directed at formal correctness rather than substance as any other approach would have added cost to implement while increasing legal risk.
I really like Reflux as well. In a recent project I used Bacon.js[1] to create my own implementation that ended up looking similar to Reflux.

The project involved asynchronous requests triggered by the actions, and transforming & aggregating the returned data. Compared to Reflux, Bacon made it very easy to do this by composing small functions that are applied sequentially to a stream of actions.

I'm logging the solutions, but in real MVP fashion... not showing them just yet. Need to bootstrap a vimscript parser first.

It's actually very interesting. Anecdotally, as somebody who grew up in a "Foundry" area...when I think of moving to another city, other Foundry cities come up first in my mind as places I want to live. I never really attributed it to regionalism but I suppose it makes a kind of sense. Even regions geographically close to mine don't have the same kind of draw as those close to mine.
>"It obviously plays zero role in their sales and marketing strategy. By the looks of things they're focusing on their facebook page rather than their website as their main online presence."

Does any of their packaging include the website address. Does Facebook link to the website? If either of these is true then they are using it as part of their marketing strategy. I don't expect much from a tea company, just an image with their product range and possibly a list of suppliers along with the usual boiler-plate and statutory obligations.

Are they a public company, trying to win investment?

I didn't notice their landing page linking to a Facebook page which at least says that they didn't tell the person in charge of the website that Facebook is their main online contact point.
And the law still favors women by a very wide margin when it comes to divorce. I don't exaggerate it.

Steganalysis doesn't work by noticing a pixel gone awry in a video of a storm. Your notion of how this works seems drawn from movie plots, like the guys who sneak past motion detectors by moving real, real slow. Also, "the contributing editor of the Infoworld Test Labs and author of the Morgan Kaufman book _Disappearing Cryptography_, as summarized by Wikipedia" loses to academic crypto researchers. Sorry.
"We're not talking about users, we're talking about attackers and developers. Why would users have anything to do with our discussion?"

Actually, in the message you responded to, I was specifically talking about users. I've been talking about users of crypto/stego all along!

They're the ones who take virtually all of the risk. The people who write the crypto/stego often aren't even in the same country, and they do their development in countries where crypto/stego are perfectly legal.

So I don't know why you started talking about developers all of a sudden.

However, I thought you might have switched subjects, so I specifically addressed crypto development in my second paragraph.

"Developed by academics, but tested by both academics and the government. The testing is the thing that's actually important."

That testing is only worthwhile if your threat model does not include the government itself, which has a vested interest in breaking all encryption, whether or not it has been "certified" by them.

"The point is that the technical expertise is not available. It's not up to them. It's not available. What you suggest they do is not possible."

How is it not available? There are plenty of people who design and analyze stego. There's your expertise.

"Get back to me when we get government backed standards and recommendations for anonymity (hint: we have them for crypto)."

Get back to me when that actually matters.
Folks in this thread are real quick to dismiss any concern for the animal and it’s habitat and that’s pretty sad. Is it so hard to believe human activity is harming these animals?
They also have more advanced, larger instruction pre-processing units, (I can't remember the exact name of them). Also the big.little architecture. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25258165

Actually, I think there is a misinterpretation of the foster parent's obligation. It is not to act in the interest of the state. It is to act in the interest of the child. Foster parents are vetted for suitability to act on behalf of the children in their care, not for their ability to carry out directives of the state child welfare apparatus. They are chosen because they will act with reasonable discretion, not bureaucratic zeal. The standard is reasonableness and the metric for reason is the individual child's interest.

To put it another way, there are some foster children for whom any internet access may be inappropriate - e.g. a child who might initiate contact with an adult for the purpose of sexual congress. In such cases, even a flip phone might be placed off limits.

It's not a series of if thens. Judgment is required.

If you can't make the computer do work for you, you're not really using it effectively. If you can only use programs others have written, you aren't really computer literate, you're just a monkey pushing a button. Computer programming literacy is the new reading. The vast majority of people who use computers now do need programming, they just don't realize it because they don't know they could be automating what they currently do manually.
