It isn't like Lamo sold out a fellow hacker; Manning had special access, and probably obtained the leaked information using that, rather than any particular skills.

That phone call to Lamo was tantamount to "Hi. You don't know me, but you're now an accessory to treason." Already convicted felon or not, nobody needs that kind of turd dropped right in the middle of their life.
I'm not missing the point.

I don't disagree with the perspective (as i said), but mock their ideology. What's the point in attacking their devotion to their cause or the efficacy of their pursuit? The are literally, deadly serious about their cause, regardless of how stupid it is.

Is this necessarily true? If you have a merchant that accepts cryptocurrency why would that drive down the price? (e.g. Tesla [1])

In a sense, Comcast actually has very few humans. Most of their humans are 100% policy-constrained. They are not empowered to make decisions. Their only advantage over a machine is the ability to understand human language. For all practical purposes, they are an automated system.

It is, because the open corruption of the stock market, the absolutely disgusting behavior of major players and especially the arcane rules (like T+2 settlement, made necessary by the US's fossilized banking infrastructure) became dragged into the spotlight.

Wall Street claimed to have learned their lesson after 2008ff? GME proved that they all haven't learned a single damn thing.

It's called wallstreetbets for a reason. I'm sorry but people dumping their life savings into the stock markets on a crazy bet by anonymous Redditors, that's just... dumb. (On a side note, such cases are why basic financial education should be mandatory at schools!)

I find it strange Flash is still around, given that iOS and Android don't support Flash anymore and that YouTube has made a lot of video content available as HTML5. I thought that other sites would have followed suit. Is there evidence of a mass exodus from Flash?
Thank you for taking the time trying to explain!

Obviously, I disagree with many things about the approach HN has taken, but of course it is your site, you can do as you want.

For starters, if you say people can just skip things that don't satisfy their curiosity, I don't see why the same wouldn't apply to political controversies. I can understand if you want to moderate the "root articles" (the once that are listed on the homepage), but why do you care about the comments? If people discuss something, obviously it interests them (strikes their curiosity). What does it matter if they make a 10000 comment thread about it? I think you have some sort of algorithmic counter measures against long threads, which does nothing but enrage (presumably based on some heuristic PG once made, when he felt long comment threads signal flame wars)

Ultimately it seems to me all about the people you attract here to vote on things. I've just tried to read that article about Atwood, and it is entirely too long-winded for me. If HN had been founded by some famous literary professor, you would probably get only submissions like that, and nothing about technology or science. But it was founded by PG and now it is associated with YCombinator, so it draws a different crowd.

Just saying I don't think the "curiosity" rule is really what makes HN, it is the people you manage to attract.

And to that I personally can say, I wouldn't mind some other user ripping into me in comments for some political or other reasons. I do mind HN itself telling me I am not wanted here , which it does in so many ways.

Of course, again, that is your right to do, as it is your site. It just makes me sad (unsurprisingly), having been on HN since the early days. And ultimately it does seem to boil down to political opinions, even if you don't consciously target certain opinions above others, as you claim.
tautology? Seems like the HN community abhors rigour.
I can only tell the difference between cheep coffee we make at work and what I'd consider decent to good quality coffee. Since I don't drink a lot of coffee I just use a Keurig machine since I can tell the coffee is a lot higher quality then instant but don't notice a difference between it and Starbucks.
To be fair, one of the greatest "see the future" CEOs has said similar things. Just off the top of my head, I know that Steve Jobs said that no one would want a larger screen than the original iPhone had, and he said that 7" tablets didn't make any sense. Now Apple has a larger iPhone screen and 7" tablet.

That's not to say that Steve Jobs was wrong about the future, but he had to sell devices in the present which meant pretending that they were perfect even though they weren't. Ballmer may have been doing the same. It's likely that his failures occurred much earlier in the process, and then he had to try to sell doomed products which is where those silly statements come from.
> Ballmer has always lacked the ability to see the future.

Maybe you meant 'envision' the future? Outside of Nostradamus, who, by the way, predicted not only Hacker News, Steve Ballmer's downfall, but also this very thread on the same subject, not many people have the ability to see the future, although some are better than others at imagining how it could be.
Maybe watch this with him, it's George Dyson (Freeman's son) recounting the story of the development of the computer at the IAS. It links CS to that fulcrum of the 20th century, the invention of the nuclear bomb. It's also highly entertaining, a very story told through coffee and ink stained punch cards.

There was literally a button that said, "add one page" or something like that. I assume it changed line height or margins in some subtle way, but it was magic at midnight the day before your eight page paper was due, and you only had seven pages.
I'll be there! Also (sorry for the slight topic change), tomorrow at 6pm at Swift (on 4th st between Lafayette and Bowery) is the NYSEC meetup of local security folks. Just moved to the city a bit over a week ago, and couldn't have picked my timing any better it seems.
...and when you go to view it on e.g. a mobile device, it looks like shit and all the comments hang off the RHS of the screen. Which can be tricky to fix up in a table-based design. And a bit easier to fix in a well-designed CSS one (skip some DIV's, move them elsewhere on the page and so on)
That's a great point you make. Why can't your electric/phone/water company allow you to make those choices online? After all, they want you to pay the bill, but they'll take 'at some point soon' rather than immediately, over never.

Barefoot in Santa Clara is great. I've also worked at Crema nearish downtown San Jose, as well as a few in Willow Glen.

San Jose is an awfully large area, do you have a better approximation of where you'd like to work? I live in way South San Jose, so it's actually easiest for me to drive to Los Gatos and work there. Also, Red Rock in Mountain View isn't that far.

The things people give them complains about:

(a) keeping a walled garden,

(b) moving fast and taking the platform to new directions all at once

(c) controlling the whole stack

Which means they're not beholden to compatibility with third party frameworks and big players, or with their own past, and thus can rely on their APIs, third party devs etc, to cater to their changes to the architecture.

And they're not chained to the whims of the CPU vendor (as the OS vendor) or the OS vendor (as the CPU vendor) either, as they serve the role of both.

And of course they benchmarked and profiled the hell out of actual systems.
Single member districts coupled with todays media and social media.

This naturally leads to the natural balance being two parties, which has to oppose each other to the extreme in all topics, which then diverges further and further creating the US today.

Different variants of multi member districts or proportional representation allows for the both the progressive left and far right which today feel left out to form their own groups. They can then get into congress and slowly let the steam out while likely enacting some change which all can accept.

Aside: people get upset about the idea of using "they" as a gender-neutral third person pronoun on the basis that it is generally regarded as the plural form; yet no one seems to have a problem with the gender-neutral second person pronoun "you", which also started out as the plural form but has since grown to displace the singular "thou" and encompass both.

This is exactly what happens in Dallas all the time. The city gives tax benefits to the property owners and the developers so that they will build these big shiny new developments in areas that are "oppressed". The result is that none of the money ends up in the locals pocketbooks, people who had a home of some sort are forced to pick up and move to somewhere else in the city and the rich get richer. The author of that editorial falsely believes that the free market will fix everything when this is clearly not a free market decision. If it were, the developer would have to pay full price with no tax benefits and then we could talk about fairness.

This picture sums up my thoughts perfectly:

Anyone who has looked into causes of stress cannot avoid the fact that a lack of PHYSICAL activity, a lack of PHYSICAL presence, and a lack of PHYSICAL stimulation is a major, if not the major factor.

Trying to get the average person today to meditate on a computer screen is like trying to get your average desk jockey to do an iron cross - it will not happen without years of PHYSICAL preparation.

This violates the golden rule:

On your point about compiler enforcing legitimate values, the way I see it is that if u don't get the right values from the outside world you should immediately exit the program with a nice error message.

As the data moves further down into your core functions it should become more well defined and highly structured.

Basically you should parse messy data into the types you need and then you don't need to validate the data in each of your functions.

How to enforce this is a tricky problem for the compiler, maybe it's architectural pattern that can be enforced by libraries and frameworks.

There are at least two ways of looking at this: one is to compare countries, the other to compare what the same individual would do in different countries.

There are quite a few non-Americans working in the American technology sector. I've worked on teams with 30% American content, the rest coming from around the world. Talking to those people, it's clear that they are taking advantage of the best of both worlds: the large capital accumulations that are available for investment in the US, but with the backup plan of going back home to a sensible social welfare structure if things don't work out.

I've been in the same boat: a Canadian who has lived and worked in both the US and Canada. I've taken risks--particularly as a husband and father--that my American colleagues could only take because they were childless and had spouses who worked. Knowing that no matter what happened, my kids would have access to a health-care system that produces significantly better outcomes at significantly lower cost to the public purse than the American mess, was without question an enabler for me. I was very conscious of this in making business decisions, including the decision to go into business (while broke and unemployed in the wake of the dot-com crash, as it happens.)

Had I been in the US at the time I would have been scrambling to find a job so my kids would be covered by decent health insurance.

Maybe my case is atypical, but some kind of comparison between foreigners living/have lived in the US vs natives might shed some light on this question.
Also, one other thing to consider, GoogleDrive does not work well (at all, currently) with NTFS junctions. Big deal breaker for me.

> advantage to keep the same profit as them but negotiate a lower price. This increases your relative value in the hiring process.

That is how you negotiate when you’re struggling to find a job. By doing this you’re admitting that you’re not going to be as good as the high CoL candidate so you adjust your price to make your offer more attractive to the company. That’s a terrible position to put yourself in (but entirely understandable if you can’t get offers otherwise).

If you’ve passed the same bar and the company is truly fine with remote, there no reason to accept anything less than what they would pay a local. Speaking from experience in several tech companies in the bay, a proven remote employee is just as valuable as a local and getting decent software people is fucking hard.

It’s unlikely as a candidate that there is even any competition for the position you are filling (as in not multiple candidates that have passed the bar being picked over). Talking you into cost of living adjustments or whatever bullshit is just salary negotiation, not competition with other engineers.

Get multiple offers if you have to, but there is literally no reason a company willing to pay Bay Area salaries can’t pay that to a remote employee. Accepting less is just letting them convince you your labor isn’t as good as Bay Area SWE labor.
Most rackmount servers double up on everything like power-supplies. Harddrives should be on RAID so a single drive failure shouldn't be a problem and you would have some time to goto the colo and switch out the hard drive.

CPU and RAM last a very long time so it shouldn't be a problem (I've had literally 1 RAM stick failure in over a decade of hosting and the datacenter swapped out the bad memory stick in less than 30 minutes -- it also didn't bring down the server either, the kernel log started showing a bunch of ECC issues and a quick memory check pointed to the stick that had the problem).

And of course you can just get double or triple the amount of servers with IP failover and such to be even more resilient to hardware failures.

This article is just showing how to get started. Throw more servers at it for more redundancy and scaling as needed.
And yet I’m neither of those things and I’ve never been kicked off of a platform, so clearly there’s something off with what you’ve said, otherwise people would be getting deplatformed for saying or doing anything at all that might go against popular sentiment.

Parler wasn’t removed from AWS because it was a conservative site, it was removed because it wasn’t willing to handle the legally troubling volume of potentially criminal activity. You can post your thoughts on any conservative idea you want on Twitter, no one is getting banned for that. The only reason anyone has been removed from any popular social media (or AWS) is because they became unwilling to recognize the fact they owe more than nothing to their fellow man, which includes not trying to silence others through intimidation.

Ideas have not been and are not still the problem, is the refusal to think carefully about how to express oneself.

I'd say that in the 80s most game concepts were invented, but many suffered from the technical limitations of the time. In the 90s, most of these limitations were gradually lifted. The high point is probably different from game category to game category.

For instance Pac-Man, Tetris, or Galaga are still good fun today. Ditto Super Mario Bros. Flight Simulator II? Sorcery? not so much. There are plenty of 3D games from the early 90s perfectly fun to play, and some IMO like "Thief" haven't been bested in gameplay.

I've moved on to other projects and haven't had time to deal with AdWords and was short staffed so I halted SEO -- on average with minimal input time it generates about $3-4k a month.

If you do a simple google search "Buy WoW Account" all sites on the right hand side - sponsored ads are earning bare min. $10,000 / month net.

No matter how good an account is -- Level 85 accounts we purchase between $60 - 250. $60 account usually sells for $199.99 and a $250 account would sell for $500-600 -- this is the general case with all websites.

With SEO having us on the first page of "Sell WoW Account" keywords at rank 4 from the top -- we were receiving roughly 50-100 "Sell Account Requests" -- at the time we were only picking the best deals.

Monitor a site like "www.vbarrack.com" -- a full company which employs more quite a few employees. There turnover is roughly 40-50 accounts a day with an inventory of a quarter million - half a million dollars in just World of Warcraft accounts alone.
