look through Indeed's pages of job results and click on all of the job links, but only in the center of the page where all of the jobs are posted (not on the edges).

I wrote a toolkit to help solve this problem [1]. An issue with taking the approach of hard-coding the result pattern to scrape is that it can break when the page changes. E.g., the author's code has:

page_obj.find(id = 'resultsCol')

If Indeed ever changes that ID, the program won't work. In that respect, it's better to dynamically figure out where the results are.

And as far as cleaning up unicode and HTML entities, I like the "he" project [2]. Within text fields these HTML parsing libraries don't do a very good job so unfortunately this extra parsing is necessary. And sometimes properly stripping all duplicate whitespace involves getting very familiar with control characters (and corrupted control characters from bad encoding) as well as left-behind html tags/entities [3].

I worked as an intern at a company installing (then) 100BaseT and FDDI cabling in industrial installations and also office buildings 20 years ago. For every network socket installed, the customer got the (thermal-paper-)printout of a network cable tester.

I'd expect this to be the minimum level of diligence when installing cables on a military aircraft, or shouldn't I? ;-)

"Turns out through the S3 API you can actually spin up EC2 instances"

Can you really use the S3 API to spin up EC2 instances? or is the guy just mixing the fact that the credentials he used for S3 can be used for other AWS APIs ?

One weird trick I remember from alt.hackers was using WD-40 to remove the water from soaked electronics, and then using high-purity isopropyl(?) alcohol to clean off the WD-40. (You'd want to remove the WD-40 since it would attract dust.)
Isn't this just good advice overall? The key insight in the article is in the title and repeated toward the end:

All I did was shut the fuck up
and let it play out in front of me.

Aren't many of us often a little too eager to jump in to add our two cents, even when speaking is redundant or unnecessary? I know that it's a foible of mine!

PS I hope this post itself isn't "redundant". :) I'm trying to make the larger point that the article's advice should be viewed more generally than just for sales negotiations.
The issue is that predicting that a specific thing will rise doesn't mean anything, for all we know you've been predicting EVERYTHING will rise, and got no false negatives but a million false positives.
I mean, I won't pretend I understand everything I do, but working in video games there's frequently no "external code" you can draw from, not even a Stack Overflow where you can ask questions. Over a year ago we got few prototype PS5 devkits dropped on our desks with some basic documentation available and were told to make it work - that's not something where you can ask for any help anywhere, because it's all NDA'ed and Sony engineers are extremely busy, so you just....have to figure stuff out by yourself.
That is just a silly question. Of course nobody will go through the trouble of opening their settings just to enable ads. But if they are on by default many people (including me) won't mind them enough to bother turning them off again.
I've been both a uniformed soldier and a contractor, never an agency civilian but work with plenty of them, and they are not "in the military" in the sense you mean here. They work for the military, as do I as a contractor, but we're not subject to UCMJ. If you're subject to UCMJ, then yes, your freedoms are severely curtailed and you do not enjoy the benefits of the Constitution afforded to civilians. You can be detained against your will by your commander. You are absolutely not allowed freedom of speech or freedom of movement. You can't quit the job. You can be fired for being fat. None of that applies to civilians, even DoD and IC agency civilians. If a civilian doesn't do what their manager asks, they can be fired. If a soldier doesn't do what their commander asks, they can be arrested. Huge difference between working for the military and being "in" the military.
Parody. If you have a Bloomberg terminal then probably many of the people you interact with at work also have Bloomberg subscriptions. Imagine some tech worker in Silicon Valley trying to flex some employer-provided top-of-the-range MacBook. The price isn’t the same but the idea that it won’t impress the in-group is.

The internet enabled an explosion of growth of useful data and communication.

I wish Wikileaks would just dump the contents, and leave the analysis to the rest of the world. By doing selective "analysis" and redaction, they're basically doing exactly what they claim to be fighting.

Either release all the information, or withhold it. Don't play sides.

Now that's just illogical, plain and simple. You don't expect Wikileaks to do some verification and sanity checks? You object to the fact that they take a quick look over the documents to make sure they don't leak anything that will get massive amounts of people killed? Wikileaks doesn't edit to play sides, they edit so they can maintain some form of legitimacy as a journalistic entity. From what I've read, two things happen during the editing phase: (1) fact checking and (2) checks to make sure lives aren't put in danger by the leak. No sides are being played; it's simply common sense practices that journalistis have been doing for several centuries.
Gordon Gekko, in the original Wallstreet said greed is good for all stakeholder interests because it eliminates wastes.

Shareholder vs. Stakeholder (employees, customers, community,and investors as opposed to just investors) is an important consideration for CEOs. Wallstreet makes it difficult for companies to plan longterm, and many companies speak of the importance of the CUSTOMER (and the community), but mean INVESTOR.

CEO Entreprenuers get the chance to choose for themselves, stakeholders vs just shareholders. The work of some German companies over the last two decades is an encouraging example.
I'm shocked and ashamed that California's own Feinstein appears on this list.

It's easy, it's similar to how they decry human rights abuses while abusing human rights at Gitmo.

You just need one guy committing the abuses, another guy talking down to other nations about doing the same thing, and a lawyer to invent complicated explanations as to why whatever you're doing is slightly different than whatever their doing, or how it's not torture until it feels like organ failure. And if the abuse gets too egregious just find some low ranking grunt and blame her for the whole thing, and now it won't happen again. wink wink nudge nudge

Oh, and it helps if you get to appoint the people who will be judging you, like maybe one of the lawyers who helped you out of a sticky hypocritical situation 20 years ago. It's kind of like explaining the differences between mob protection money and income tax. Most people are on board with the gov't reasoning on that one, and the rest don't matter.
That's the rhetorical equivalent of winning a debate contest by detonating a nuclear weapon. Yeah, you win... sort of.
I wish you well, fellow traveler - one key breakthrough for me was prioritizing hearing people, not telling them what they think, upon advice from a good friend in a charged moment.

It really scares people when A) they find out you can mind read and B) you know _exactly_ how they're planning on manipulating society and C) you know the intricate details of their plan to say one thing but believe another, thus creating an unfair situation for you, a freethinker who knows They are up to something, and wants to save other innocents from Their trap.

As soon as it will start getting nice outside, I don't believe you will be able to detain people for long.
You're cherry-picking, and we both know I could do the same thing, listing brands and companies that do create great products and services, but perhaps we can just agree to disagree. I think the world today is generally better than it used to be. Yes, even some of that "cheap plastic crap" from Walmart. If I want a cheap trash can to go next to the workbench in my garage, it's nice that I can buy one for $3.88 at Wal-Mart, instead of having to purchase a $17 metal can hand-crafted by someone in a local factory. They both do the same job, they'll last the same amount of time, but one is 1/5th the price. And I'm fine with that.
This is a wonderful article that is directly applicable to HN. Read it! It's got both a good theory as to why comments tend to become more superficial over time, as well as suggestions for what can be done to counter this:

As Commentators, What Can We Do?
1. Offer Personal Highlights
2. Be Constructive
3. Read Fully Before Drawing Conclusions
4. Ask Questions
5. Share Related Experiences

I'd probably rank #2 as the highest in importance. I try to never vote down a comment where someone is trying to be constructive, even if I don't think they are succeeding. But perhaps I need to move farther, and actively vote up every comment that meets this criterion.
Destroying fossil fuel powered transportation then replacing them with electric would actually produce more carbon. All new transportation should be electric but the already running transportation if can be run on captured carbon would result net carbon decrease.
Sadly, startups innovations did not find (or even tried) a way to save animals and wild life. If Disney would contribute 1% of all income they got from animals based movies? If Docker would contribute 1% to save whales?
Close enough for me. I don't know how (un)reasonable it may be, but I think the "put it on a read-only chip and run on a 'secondary processor'" maneuver would be enough for fsf ryf certification[1]. The way it is now is free and open enough for me nevertheless.

It is a transparently obnoxious pattern, unless you are buying something expensive and highly customisable.
I don't think it counts as literally talking for the same reason it is considered a faux pas to dump someone over text.
> Rodi Guidero, managing director for strategic investments at Gates Ventures (who now oversees Breakthrough Energy Ventures), Guidero blurted, “That’s a terrible f—ing idea.” He argued the fund would lose money and embarrass Gates. “Why do you think I care about that?” Gates replied.
(In retelling the story, Guidero now says, “I can’t believe I said a thing like that to Bill Gates.” Gates says he doesn’t remember the exchange.)

You have to love apocryphal tales like this. The idea that Gates would hire someone who didn't know that Gates wouldn't care about this (in this situation) when they work so close is just so funny. It's almost a story planted on purpose a 'went against all odds people told him he was crazy'. Note that I remember other stories about how Gates liked people to stand up to him and not be yes man.

> “In another 20 years, you’re not going to be wondering if you got a return,” says Larry Cohen. “You’re wondering if there’s going to be a planet left for your great-grandchildren.”

I wish they'd stop with that type of over the top hyperbole. Most people not in the top slice of the 1% (meaning not the 1 percent but the top slice of that) are just getting by day to day with daily issues. I don't think many of them are really thinking about children of children that haven't been born yet. A good test to see if you are comfortable well off and lucky might even be to see if you actually think about those thinks along with 'your legacy'.
Speaking as a security professional, this viewpoint already exists in software in various concepts like "defense in depth" and "zero-trust networking".

> It seems pretty well established that making secure software is impossible. Time to pivot to designing software systems that are tolerant of inevitable security breaches.

This is the nature of "zero-touch networking". More generally, we talk about "security boundaries" as the equivalent of what you'd consider "compartmentalization". For example, the virtual machine is a security boundary (infect the OS but the VM should keep it contained to not affect the host hardware), the network firewall is a security boundary (treat everything outside as potentially hostile unless authenticated), the authentication system is one, and so on, because each one imposes substantial security barriers that you depend on to some degree, but you also model the "what if it fails?" scenario.

> One example of this is compartmentalization. A single breach must not have access to all the sensitive data. Another is backups must be air gapped (or put on physically read-only media) so ransomware cannot compromise them.

All of these things are already commonly known practice, and both data compartmentalization and airgaps have been in practice for decades.

I'm not saying that it's perfect everywhere, because it's a shitshow in general, but rather that the field has been aware of and has been implementing these practices for a long time when people have the incentives to do it.

I think there are two major differences. The first is that in cyber security the failure mode is adversarial, not coincidental, so tolerances work differently. It's less about the stress the system can take, more about how long it'll take the adversary to figure it out and how useful the exploit is. The second difference is that there isn't remotely as much market/government infrastructure around making sure that you don't screw up the security. That's both good and bad: good because it means lower costs to entry. Bad because it means plenty of people will play fast and loose.
>> I think that's a given because it's still invite only and has a very specific demographic creating content.

Agreed.

Same thing happened with Ello ( https://ello.co/ ). Started out as invite only, which appealed to a certain group of people. Then the shine wore off and most users went back to FB and Twitter. Then it rebranded itself as a social media platform for creatives where it seems to have found a solid audience.
Hey Josh,

I'm a photographer working on a story about American innovation. I just shot you an email through the Noya website.

Having the government just send you a yearly "bill" showing your total taxes already withheld, calculated tax owed, and the balance, which you then start from to file extra deductions or whatever, seems more effective to me in that sense than the current system. The average user of TurboTax or whatever really only sees or pays attention to their refund/shortage number and not the actual amount of tax paid.

The current system feels more calibrated so that people have a negative association with the IRS, rather than being well-informed about how much they're paying.
While it's not trivial, it's been shown that you can de-anonymize bitcoin transactions. In some cases it's very easy. So in practice you can't rely on your transactions being anonymous even if in practice some of them may end up that way.

And of course even if transactions themselves were fully anonymous, many people end up needing to rely on exchanges, and the idea of those being truly anonymous is borderline absurd.
The Barbary pirates weren't Ottomans so. They traded with them and, if memory serves well, operated under Ottoman sponsorship at times.
It’s been a while for me but i always remember single person apartments (even studios) being relatively more expensive than multi bedroom with roommates. Anytime I wanted to save money that was always the first place i started. In that sense i personally would consider an apartment all to yourself a relative luxury.
Yes, perhaps I should have been harsher in my article. I strongly agree with you.
It's not an acceptable approach in kernel development.

A patch like that has zero (actually, negative) value. It simply shouldn't be accepted and regressing to the last "working", most tested version should be the option.

So, all in all, if you are not willing to do your homework well enough, it's better for everybody if you don't bother at all. It wastes both your time and the maintainers' time. Linus' time no less.
Thanks, will try it out in a couple of hours!
Reddit's been down for several hours today, I'm sure they are already way lower 99.95%.
That patch reminds me about a nouveau bug[1] I had a couple of weeks ago. According to one of the developers behind nouveau it was caused by a new memory mapping/allocation scheme that broke things on systems with more than 4 GBs of RAM. Some device memory (registers etc) was mapped above 4 GBs and some of them don't like this. So he built a new kernel which reverted the change and the problem was "miraculously" fixed.

You are comparing an intangible number to a different tangible number, but ignoring the intangible side of the second number. What is the intangible costs to Americans for TSA's security theater? Lost time, lost items, lost privacy, lost security, even lost lives?
It only tells you if there are people inside, either moving or breathing, and how far away they are. There's only text output, no actual images.

From the manual: "RANGE-R is designed for simple one-handed operation. Holding RANGE-R to a wall, door or other building structure, the operator simultaneously presses buttons on the sensor’s two sides to begin the analysis. Within three seconds, the system returns a range-to-target result as well as the status of the target, which is indicated as either a mover (Mov) or a breather (Br). The result is displayed to the user in terms of distance in feet to the target on the unit’s LCD. RANGE-R is also capable of detecting and displaying the range of multiple targets. In such cases, the display will alternate through the different ranges of the targets."
The 4th amendment pretty clearly exists in an assumed system of private property. Searches and seizures both imply action that would normally be a violation of property rights. The quote you cited is also talking about property rights.
It's 8.30 am here and the first thing I read today is this inspirational article. People like Mr. Dennis lead by example and that inspires others.

I'm hoping to try the co-working vacation this year to see for myself if I'm still as productive in a new city or country without being distracted by wanting to explore this new place I'm in. I think having a space where other freelancers and startups are working would make it easier to get up do some work around like minded people and still enjoy a new place.

It's a different twist on traveling that doesn't bind you to trying to see as much as you can in the 3 weeks you have off a year. You can really get to know a city or country if you stay there for longer. I don't really want a work life balance, I want it more intertwined so that I can do my work while living my life and co-working might just give me a chance to do so. Joel at Buffer was right about not wanting to have a deferred live plan where we work to then enjoy life.(1) I think with today's technology and forward thinking bosses and company's its possible to do great work wherever we are.

I still need to test this out and see if I am actually productive. This fall I spent a week in Vancouver and a week in Fernie and was really productive even in a new environment. I think the co-working spaces around the world will just make it that much easier for me to do longer trips. I'll have the reliable internet and quite space if needed to do good work without worrying about the wifi at coffeeshops and worrying about my gear being stolen if I get up and use the bathroom.

> and similar audio devices, becoming so cheap and readily available that even basic privacy from strangers while in your home becomes a thing of the past.

Even at current price ($6000), the thing is cheap, taking into account what it can do.

As for privacy, forget about that, at least privacy by default. that's so dead. Start thinking about counter measures.
It's no more boring than being stuck at a traffic light for 2-3 minutes, or waiting for your bus/train to arrive.

Your mind tends to be focused on the task at hand when doing the movements. After each set, when you're resting, you can listen to a podcast or audio book.

Or, you know, just stand there and do nothing and let your mind wander: perhaps not doing something may actually be good for you. Perhaps you may wish to examine the benefits of being bored once in a while.

Except that in your scenario why would anyone mine at $20 and hold when they could just buy at $10 and hold, doubling their return? With super-low transaction and storage costs, there's nothing special about the BTC I mined relative to the BTC I bought.
Wouldn't you be better off using your money to buy $20 of BTC today?
The craziest part of this is that in the UK you need to pay a fee to pick up publicly broadcasted unencrypted television signals. I wonder what the hell is the basis of this "fee"?
Exactly. Men in comics are male power fantasies. Women in comics are also male fantasies. The message that these kinds of covers send to his daughter, or women in general is "This is not for you".
