I could see something amiibo (https://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/) like where the NFT basically unlocks things in different games but really struggle from a business perspective why you’d choose the crypto route over owning the market yourself. Particularly if there is supposed to be some permanence to the asset the NFT points to. For example the game no longer makes money but for some unforeseen reason someone owns an NFT of a game item worth $100,000 what happens when you pull all the game infrastructure and therefore the linked item down?
The shop could put a security seal on the bags, and number them. Then issues in the delivery chain can easily be detected.
I've owned both adapters, the Xbox 360 adapter was significantly more reliable, and the Xbox One adapter has weird latency and handshake issues.
The point is that there is no point in paying that kind of money if you're only going to use it internally 99% of the time.
I have found that for many personal projects, sqlite is more than good enough and the simplification of infrastructure makes it worth it over pg.
Agree, the test has been dismissed enough times. People are far too complex.

It has recently been renamed and represented by Jordan Peterson. Unfortunately, the JP readers I've met who mention his version were unaware of the MB version. The critical history of MB should serve as a warning. They are not eureka moments, but smaller steps.
MBTI depends on Jung's personality type theory. Jung's ideas on personality are actually quite interesting and involve a lot of nuance. If you go and read Psychologial Types, you'll quickly realize that Jung developed his notions regarding personality as a tool for literary criticism. That is, to have a way to explain why authors, throughout history, took opposite stances on issues. For example, he begins the book by interpreting the Trinitarian and Christological debates at the dawn of Christianity. My takeaway is that Jung's typology is less of a science than it is a philosophy of the psyche, or even a philosophy on how the psyche expresses itself, and thus belongs more in the domain of the humanities.

I like MBTI as a shortcut to talk about Jung's theories. As a scientific tool, MBTI is obviously extremely blunt. Testing for your MBTI type is therefore not a very good idea, IMO. As far as I can tell, many people who really are into MBTI will rather try to "type" you in a guided conversation than you merely taking a test. This is much more in the spirit of analytical psychology anyhwow.
No. If you expect Coq to do actual work for you, that will not work out well.
You don’t need a MacBook for this process to work, you can use a second Mac Pro just fine (the ergonomics of moving around a 18 kg box aside). But if you own only one Mac (and it doesn’t have to be the Pro tower, similar steps apply to other Macs when they get bricked [1]), you need to find somoene else with a recent(-ish) Mac or go to an Apple Store.

> which could be better spent otherwhere

But realistically would it be better spent?

I banned myself from games to write my master thesis.

There was some mild improvement in pace of work, but I'm not sure if I should attribute it to not gaming or simply to approaching deadline.

On the other hand I watched all 10 seasons of "Friends" during that time. And I didn't even like "Friends" to begin with.
> I've also heard horror stories of being presented with a non-compete to sign after starting the new job and leaving previous employment. That kind of behavior seems especially devious, but it seems pretty common as well.

It seems Texas is at-will employment and non-compete are enforceable there, which is IMHO why BS like this flies. This is luckily not common in most of the world.

> Should I pass on a new job because they want me to sign a non-compete?

You can always negotiate any part of the contract:

- Tell them you don't sign no-competes, so you can only work with them without one. Let them reject you.

- Ask for the agreement to be more strict. E.g. limit it to a sub-category, like "FX trading software".

- Ask for the agreement to be a lot shorter. E.g. 1-3 months. Note that in practical term this might be the same.

- Ask to be paid for the no-compete time. Good luck with that though.

Of course depending on the employer and how much they want/need you, they might accept the negotiation or not.
The seller of the app knows practically nothing about the buyer, basically just the IP address when they launch the app, and other vague details.
I disagree with this advice. Get a lawyer’s opinion first. There are certain cases where a non-compete or non-solicitation clause could be enforced in California.
I was basing my estimate on a 6 month run.

Thank you very much once again for responding with this level of detail.

When you got the first 120k, who paid that? One entity or multiple?
Start playing an online competitive game or mmo and put the effort into joining a guild/clan and ‘getting into it’.

Right, I see this all the time. I never see any examples of what this looks like. Did your friend give you anything regarding that?
Well described. There are folks going absolutely nuclear over these things - genatalia, perversions.

It's often tied to what appear to be intentional misreading's or overbroad readings of relatively innocuous statements.

"small circle of mostly men" turns into some sort of absolutist statement about bitcoin ownership, genatalia and perversions.

One reason to mention gender is that gender, and broader access by women in particular to tech is a current topic. So here you have a VERY male dominated space worth billions. While a women caring for a child at home get's paid nothing. I actually see some major issues in the way society rewards people, and the gender concentration mentioned in this story is interesting in that context.
Ok, we've changed the title along those lines.
Agreed. There should be a disclaimer and end of story.

Although I can see the ridiculous side to this. If I were a hardcore vegan I wouldn't be trusting BK to do the right thing. On my occasional shameful forays to BK I'm looking for a very specific combo - salt, animal protein, empty carbs and a sugar hit. If I'm looking for a healthy choice BK doesn't even cross my mind.
But there is an effect. We're telling people "you both want to enter into this contract, and there's nothing illegal or fraudulent about it, but if you do it, at least one of you is going to jail." That's morally indefensible.

Grand schemes to fix society by making an income distribution curve on a spreadsheet look pretty don't mean squat compared to your neighbors' rights.
Same story on Spectrum. On their residential plans they will give out a /64 by default. However w/ DHCPv6-PD I was able to successfully request a /56. What I found mildly interesting was they wouldn't allocate a /60. (My guess was: whatever silicon they've got pushing IPv6 packets around probably likes segmenting the routing table on a clean byte boundary.)
That's not how something relative like height works. If you don't use it and everyone else does then now you're the short person.
The headache doesn't come from building out this 'simple' bare bones solution. It comes from making it play well with the larger ecosystem you're integrating it with, and committing to supporting it for other engineers. All of a sudden, your job description starts to change and you're working well out of your scope.

These managed solutions can provide value for large companies, especially ones that fall into a DIY trap.
I think they want things to be at least 10cm in all dimensions I don't have original sources though it was a while ago. Found this article.

As mc32 argues in a sibling comment of yours, hiding that laser surgery could be considered unethical. Situation changes when you disclose it.
Agree, Clojure has the most influence on me. There are lots of things to learn from Clojure and I don't see anyone taking lessons from Clojure people. it seems like everything is just one large MVC after rails. We are not ready to move on.

What is the difference between a minimum wage worker and a robot?
Every worker needs a union, professionals need associations.

There are huge power imbalances at work
1. Multi-tenant domains that probably should've always been in the PSL (ex. to provide cookie silos) but are only realizing now that they should be in it due to the arrival of PCM.

uff, well I did not know about that list and we have a domain that uses multi-tenacy.

I mean I'm unsure to include it but it probably adds a security benefit, so that it is impossible to add bad cookies from subdomains.

edit: can't add it anyway I'm not sure but our provider only allows to renew for 1 year (I'm not sure if that is a tld limit, since I also do not see other additional domains with de inside the list)
> Can anyone explain why something like this wasn't implemented in the first place via DNS TXT records or tied to SSL somehow?

The idea is to be able to use it without a network access, such as looking for unstructured URLs in text (e.g. "get a discount code at example.com/hn-reader"), formatting a URL in a browser bar (e.g. put the non-eDLD+1 in bold, or at least show the site name properly and not abbreviate all UK sites to "co.uk") or managing the cookie name properly (again, so everyone in co.uk doesn't share the same cookie).

Presumption is that the eTLDs are a tiny fraction (by orders of magnitude) from the domains registered under them so this db doesn't have to get too large.

I am not sure how to manage these strings automatically without them being spammed. They aren't all under the control of the TLD administrators (com.au is but cheapo-shop-hosting.com.au is not).
I agree with that interpretation of the facts on the ground. It just seems like an unconventional reason to have a union. Generally I think the purpose of unions is to advocate for the interests of the workers at large, not to be a kind of employment guarantee for people who want to do activism instead of their job.

If I worked at Google and I had some complaint about my health insurance or something, it doesn’t seem like the union would even be the right people to talk to, because they don’t seem to represent the well-being of the workers like an ordinary union.
Meh, if they're happy with your work, it's no big deal. It would be immoral if they saw you were automating the same work and decided to fire you or demand you do more.

Salary workers aren't paid for their time. Their paid for their productivity
Forgive me, but it sounds dangerous and insecure to give your software the kind of access that would be required to do what you described. Even with safety measures and auditing in place, I'm not sure if I would feel comfortable doing this.
They did say that 2015 would be the year we got time travel. One second is a little less than anticipated though.
This is excitingly promising. Needs a Firefox extension, though :)
Right. He wants to become the Uber of patents. With his plan, patents aren't worth much individually, and they would be sold cheaply, in bulk, with his brokerage getting a cut.
Valid point imho. Sad to see your comment turned to grey within as little as 8 minutes after you posted it.
It's interesting.

As a Dane writing in Danish media I would never ever feel like my civil rights where in any real danger.

I don't think they have the personality to bring users over 22 to the site. The super-hip parties and don't-give-a-shit attitude works great for attracting pop-culture based young-ins but I feel those of us a bit less enticed by flash won't find a place there.
"Three generations from now to majority vegetarian seems a little fast to me."

I would have agreed with you until very recently -- I lived in CA when the proposition to legalize gay marriage failed, just a couple of years ago. I figured we'd be waiting twenty years for that one. Similarly, in line with your point, I lived in NYC in the early 2000s when bars were smoker sanctuaries; even after smoking in bars was made illegal everybody was still doing it when I moved. Now it's impossible to imagine smoke in bars, and when I was last in Buenos Aires I couldn't believe people could still tolerate the practice. All of this has increased my sensitivity (or perhaps bias) to 'idea[s] whose time has come.'

"By the way, will I be still able to eat insects? I think WRT to emotions, they're basically organic robots, no?"

A lot could be said on the topic, but knowing what I know I am totally fine with eating insects. Can't really see that one changing.
Why do you say that if something is popular then there is something good about it? The world is full of sub-optimal solutions to all sorts of problems. This is especially true for programming languages and frameworks.
Right, I thought thats what you were talking about. It's only a theory, and it's not that well supported in the literature[1]. Even presupposing it's true, the literature shows that it can be changed -- you're not stuck for it for life[0]. The issue I have with set-point theory are rather numerous, to be perfectly honest, but the key part is that it's used by some to "give up" and assume that being obese is "natural", which considering the massive negative effects it has on your body, doesn't sit right with me.

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but all of the research I've read on it shows that for the most part it's not a given that it's a real phenomenon. Human nutrition and metabolism is super complex, for sure, but those sorts of twee "too easy" explanations are rarely correct.

Retra is wrong. You're right. No reason for the hostility.
Replying to this directly because I'd otherwise have to reply to so many other sibling replies individually with overlapping versions of this :)

Just for comparison.

Disclosure: I no longer live in Germany _but_: In Germany, 90% of people are insured via the mandatory public health insurance system (do a Google translate on https://www.bundesgesundheitsministerium.de/gkv.html, which is the official federal health ministry website). That's 70 million people out of ~83 million in an estimate of 2019 according to Wikipedia. There's still a bunch of different companies that provide coverage under this public system. I remember ~15%+ depending on which company you went with for health insurance. And that's the _public_ system.

You can play around here if you want: https://www.brutto-netto-rechner.info/. I plugged in 70.000EUR per year (which is reasonable for a senior dev depending on city (i.e. this is way more than I was paid in Frankfurt 10 years ago but we're talking different level and 10 years ago ...) but you'll get less even as a senior today probably if you're in some "flyover state" equivalent of Germany.

Where it says "Rentenversicherung" that's your pension.
Where it says "Arbeitslosenversicherung" that's your EI.
Where it says "Krankenversicherung" that's your health insurance. Remember, this is the public system, which has been going way down hill since I was working in Germany. Nowadays you gotta have a separate insurance for certain things in dental care for example, that were just covered for me, when I was there.

So for my EUR 70.000 / year example health insurance is ~4.5000EUR or about 6%. You gotta remember in that that the employee and the employer share this 50/50, meaning the ~4.500EUR is for the employee only. The employer pays another ~4.500EUR (officially the public health insurance system rate is like 15% and there's all sorts of rules about what extra percentage a public health insurance can charge and different companies charge different extra rate to try and 'compete' with each other.

So with all this in mind and percentages already given (and please do look up the German "progressive tax system" as opposed to the tax bracket system in the US and Canada), 70.000 EUR is about 86.000 USD or 4.500 EUR being about 5.500 USD.
The HN guidelines specifically ask you not to go on like this about "bots" unless you have evidence, which you don't. Other users having different views than yours—even if you feel they're completely wrong—is not evidence of anything (other than that the community is divided). Please don't post like this to HN again.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Long, detailed experience has shown that these insinuations are based on literally nothing at all—just imagination and projection.

As far as I can tell after studying the data in detail for many years, here is what's really happening: the community is divided, different users have a wide range of views, and it's really hard for people to grok that the range of honest views is as wide as it actually is. Since that's hard (for whatever reason) to accept, users make up stories about other users being disingenuous "bots" and "trolls" and "spies" which are "easy to spot". They're only "easy to spot" because you've created them.

I'm not saying that real abuse and manipulation don't exist; I'm saying that accusations about it need something objective to point to—at least a shred of something objective—and setting that extremely minimal requirement easily rules out 99.9% of internet comments about this kind of thing. Meanwhile such comments are deeply poisonous to community, which is why we have the rule asking people not to post like this.

Incidentally, by referring to "self-whipping over the colonial guilt narrative", you've already (in a tendentious way) contradicted what you spent most of your comment claiming, since what you're describing there is a view that a lot of people happen to hold for whatever reasons of their own. You may think they're wrong, but that's hardly the same thing as them being "bots" that are "easy to spot". In fact, it's the opposite.

I wrote a detailed explanation about this a couple of months ago, if anyone wants to learn more: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27398725.

Personally, I don't think anyone should do a PhD for getting some monetary benefit. People should do a PhD out of passion to expand the horizons of the subject they are interested in.In India, we have an opposite problem.There is a big need for qualified PhDs in Universities and Colleges.But there are not enough to go around especially in CS.So Universities have started churning out sub standard PhDs. Just try to search for any recent PhD thesis in any Univerisity(Other than IITs) and you will know what I am talking about.
You can bypass the GC entirely, and keep the objects that really should be in cache live, and just reuse them. Not a pretty solution, but it's doable.
Love how he cited the crappy design as the main reason why the app sucks ... Then proceeds to put the minimum effort into design to adress the problem. Give a designer a chance to work for you, you will end up with a result that is better but more importantly unique.
Crazy! Yeah, Metaprogramming Ruby is on my wishlist. I understand why the rules in Ruby are complicated - it's to make the common case simpler. But I still like the simplicity of JavaScript.
Many large corporations have decreased their investment in pure R&D. (Intel just closed its Berkeley research lab [1].) Yes, PhDs can make great contributions in industrial and gov't settings, but they are certainly not trained with those applications in mind. In most fields, professors are producing new academics.

I had my "2011 MBP - refurbished" covered under Applecare so I got to at least get it covered as these issues were cropping up. They replaced both the logicboard and the harddrive.

It looks like it's a good idea and the website has a nice design, although I've never understood how online surveys can be unbiased considering the fact that the population of voters is definitely biased. Do you have any plans for making the data more reliable that you're using with the site (e.g. asking users for how they found the site)?
One of the best air filters is your furnace + good air filter. No need for additional products.

But if you go with a Merv 14 filter (which is amazing by the way), you will spend some serious money. Merv 12 is affordable. Merv 11 is an insult to air filters.

Most job applicants suck. That's true with techies, with salesmen, with everything I've ever hired for. I'll happily concede that small businesses often have trouble hiring outside their founders' core competencies just because it's hard for a CS geek to vet a CMO or VP of Sales unless they get some serious assistance with the candidate selection, but that really has nothing to do with MBAs being unusually bad.

"My god, he decided to supplement his education by learning the basics of accounting, finance, marketing, and a bunch of electives! Fear him!"

I'm not an MBA and I'm prepared to believe in your assertion that MBA has not much value, but your arguments are not very relevant.

For starters, I don't know that American companies are as good as German and Japanese companies. US is measurably wealthier than both of these countries, at least in terms of GDP per capita. Maybe US large companies are more efficient.

But even if assume large companies in those countries are similarly efficient, there are way too many differences between US and Japan besides "MBA density". It could be the case that Japanese companies hold their own despite the lack of MBAs. In fact, I do believe they do well despite the custom of treating fresh undergrads as useless, insisting on an archaic seniority system, etc.
