It's nothing like that, as money is fungible and fedoras are not. I suppose you'll tell me that if I prepay my credit card to a positive balance, and spend that money, I'm also borrowing?
Depends on what you're doing, easy to fail when you do analytics or something like datadog.
My card was issued somewhere I have no credit history. The point of the card is to have access to a credit card -- with its benefits -- without needing to borrow from the bank.

The result of this is generalizable. Looking at your encrypted HTTPS traffic, people can still tell what you are browsing and downloading especially when they have a good idea of what you could browse or download.

For the rest, I am not sure how many people should be afraid to let people know what they are watching on Netflix.
That's pretty SOP for the video game industry: low wages and insane work hours.
Nope. A safe system language would be relevant. Obviously not Rust, which is better but not safe.
The "IPO-ing will make me exceedingly wealthy" scenario is certainly one way to get an 60-80 hour work week.

The other is to be in a business that the employee is passionate about for intrinsic reasons. If the employee is a "true believer" in the company's mission, that can be a motivator to go above and beyond.

Using technology and/or techniques that the employee is interested in learning can be a useful driver. Someone who wants to learn machine learning, for instance, will put in the extra hours if they're given a chance to do it at work while working on a project. Granted it's not a way to get 80 hours from an expert in the field.

Another is to give an employee a great degree of freedom or responsibility in a particular role, and emphasize its importance to the company. Giving a programmer absolute technical authority over a critical project, with high visibility, can motivate them to go hell for leather for a few months.

Ultimately I think working 60-80 hour weeks over the long term, for any reason, will cause burnout. But you can get some short-term boosts if you align the employee's passions with your business needs.

From homeless to entrepreneur in Barcelona
Thanks, and also thank you for not reading my posts the wrong way. I am in no way having a go at you or refuting what you say. You've built something and got it to a level that many of us can only dream of, and for that you have my admiration and respect.

Like you, each subsequent app that I built contained the lessons learned from the previous efforts - better front end frameworks, better data table normalising, better hosting infrastructure etc.

Part of me always thinks back to the ones that didn't work, and I always ask myself - would they have worked if they had faster page refreshes, or more flexible data entry? Perhaps if I had spent more time in the planning and design before I launched them, they may not have sunk as quickly? Those 1000 users that time who came from my HN post and saw an 'Error 500' page - could a fraction of them been the ones who would have signed up and made us profitable if they didn't see the error page as their first introduction to my app??

For that reason alone, I am always skeptical of any post that promotes 'iterate often and fast' or 'fail quickly' rather than 'spend time on design and a unique experience'...
It's to build credit.

So if you have no history of paying back loans the bank doesn't want to loan you money unless you put up collateral. You use it to build up a credit history without risk of default to the bank - if you default they keep your collateral.

Secured cards aren't intended to be used long term. They are only for when you don't have a history (or poor history) of paying back debts. Many (most?) secured cards automatically convert to a non secured cards after a while, like six months or so.
Great to see an example of practical, real-world Haskell out in the wild. It's surprisingly readable. I'm more motivated to finally knuckle down and learn the language.

At a resort, I expect you're right.

But in an urban setting? What is there to spend money on at the hotel that isn't better off-property? Especially at Hilton properties where anyone with enough points for a redemption at least has gold status and gets free breakfast and likely lounge access.
I'm curious why you're very curious why I'm curious.

I would think Netflix would be protective of their content and would likely have monitoring to detect mass downloading. The adversarial nature of one person trying to do something and other people trying to detect and stop them is interesting to me. I find JSOR's account of their monitoring, detection, and attempted blocking of Aaron Swartz's downloading of academic papers (not just metadata like this post), and the cat and mouse game that followed to be very interesting. https://docs.jstor.org/summary.html

And the perspective from the other side: the authors of this paper, whether they were concerned with being detected by Netflix and possibly blocked or even banned from Netflix for life, and maybe took action to avoid that such as using multiple accounts or VPNs.
Yep, the last time I tried to get a KVM machine going I had to hack XML files to get the correct SCSI controller just so I could mount an ISO. It's 3 clicks in VirtualBox.

I don't think that's a fair analysis of what happened. Though it seems obvious that they have lost some potencial users by being down so many times, ultimately what has obstructed Voat’s success is its core community: the fringe of the fringe of reddit.
Yes, money is fungible which makes it seems like a nonsensical dance ("can I borrow $10? here's $20 collateral.") but I promise you, it's exactly that. As silly as it sounds you really are borrowing money with money as collateral. The money you borrow even comes with an interest rate and you get charged interest if you don't pay the balance in full (only minimum)!

If you weren't actually borrowing money then it wouldn't effect your credit score, full stop.

For example, read the terms for Discover's secured card:

>If you are in default under the Cardmember Agreement or the Account is closed for any reason, you authorize us at any time(s) to withdraw all or any portion of the Funds from the Security Deposit Account and apply them to reduce your Obligations. Any such application of Funds will not constitute any part of the Minimum Payment Due under the Cardmember Agreement. You will continue to be responsible for making payments as required under the Cardmember Agreement and for repaying any outstanding Obligations.

Yup. It's already a great, fast, enjoyable language with a couple of excellent libraries, and it's maturing: Apparently release 0.6 is around the corner, and the next one might be 1.0.
Then we'd need a fourth agency to coordinate between them, and don't forget the fifth agency in charge of oversight.

I've never worked in the financial sector. The truth is that there's just vast differentiation in how companies treat and pay developers. Some companies basically don't recognize the need for quality and pay all their technical folks <$120k across the board.
I got a couple of other frustrations I have with gnome 3:

- No categories in the 'menu'. Sometimes I don't know the name of the application or just want to explore what is installed.

- Wasted screen space everywhere. I have a laptop with a small display, I need auto hiding bars and small interface elements. Gnome seems to be designed for HiDPI or very big screens.

- You need plugins/addons for everything. Why can I not setup simple behavior with just some settings.

- No backward compatible to addons. Having to resetup the whole desktop experience just because gnome just updated is very annoying.

I don't currently use gnome 3 so some of those points might have changed.
Some people are motivated by different things. No rate would get me to 80 hours a week: that's over 11 hours a day, every​ day which isn't healthy for any length of time. But 60 hours a week at 75% of that rate for a year or a year and a half would for me mean the ability to augment my stock and mostly passive residential real estate investments to the point where I wouldn't need to have an employment derived income. I'd strongly consider it. I'd rather be there in 18 months than 48-60, or never if I worked just enough hours to "get by" as it were.

The danger here is that this ideal environment created requires external meaning and tasks. Exploratory movement is messy, painful, and inefficient. It often requires you to learn new things on the fly and punishes severly for understandable mistakes.

Most of upper management and management involves strategic plays. Exploring a jungle, trying to find treasure, and doing so while other tribes are out there to kill you. Allies can become enemies and vice versa. Reality is cruel.

Triabl power is amassed through followers, and one of the best perks you can provide for followers is meaning. A cultivated environment where they can do what they want to do and is often what they do best. The messiness of dealing with what makes them feel like fools is hidden away.

The end result is that strong tribes (also known as insitutions or movements) can deploy "happy" specialists defeating other tribes, be it seige mechanics, hackers, or priests. The specialization is possible because they are shielded.

This specialization defines the middle class. Comfort within a bubble. A bubble that depends onthe existence of the institution or tribe they subscribe to. The overspecialization that is a strength ONLY as along as the rules don't change. The disruptor unwittingly becoming the disruptee. Twitter giving rise to Trump.
Indian Girl May Not Have Been Raised by Monkeys, New Reports Suggest
No. The most sensible approach is optimizing for developer efficiency while you figure out how to get users and usage. If you are lucky enough to get product/market fit, scaling is easy.
Re: Entropy: Note that just adding random padding to packets doesn't actually protect you from this kind of analysis. You'd want a constant bit-rate ("CBR") encoding instead. Even with CBR, the exact length of the video might give away the contents too.

From a bandwidth perspective, such CBR encodings are either wasteful or low quality for high motion scenes—or both. So it makes sense that Netflix has chosen a VBR system, but does have this privacy caveat.
Which other ones? There're thousands. Even if you just consider "popular" ones, there're a few hundred, for reasonable definitions of "popular".

Very briefly, lojban was conceived as a scientific experiment and tries to re-build the structure of language from the ground up, based on logical foundations with little or no connection to natural languages; the lexicon, however, is derived algorithmically from natural languages, and there is no particular emphasis on concision. Ithkuil, on the other hand, is much more of an artistic project, which makes use of the same basic mechanisms exhibited by natural languages but takes them to extremes in the pursuit of both precision and concision, and has an a-priori vocabulary.

Lojban is generally classified as a loglang and an engelang, while Ithkuil is generally classified as an engelang and an artlang.

The next most similar conlang to Ithkuil that I know of (and purely in my opinion) would be Latejami by Rick Morneau. Latejami is designed as an interlanguage for translation, and thus doesn't care much about concision (partly because it's mostly supposed to be used by machines, not humans) but does aim to be able to accurately represent any semantic structure that exists in any natlang, and goes to great lengths to systematize its semantics in ways similar to Ithkuil.

Whenever asked about cyanide, the astronauts always laughed, because if they wanted to kill themselves, there were about a million ways to do so. They didn't need cyanide.

Will the lights work with Home Assistant on pi - home-assistant.io - without the gateway? With perhaps a zigbee hat or USB dongle?
Since I am an Indian I know of a service which is hated by most people - IRCTC because of it's scaling issues. It's a lot better now but I remember those horrible days you have to do a tatkal ticket.

I also know of some government services (my state has paperless administration so everything is digital) which are used in day to day basis (but only hundreds of users) by government employees goes down for almost 2 hours per day everyday which stops work for everyone (both the employees and the people came for that service). These services are developed by companies like TCS and Infosys. Only if they thought of scaling before.
Yeah, you can demand that people get shit done. But in the end, shit is what you will have.
It's all in good spirit of sharing and learning.

When you are thinking back, also consider the alternative where could you have missed opportunities and product launches because of extra effort spent on scaling upfront.

It's all good learning in the end. It's great to be in your situation. Keep at it and you will see great success in future!
> What a customer gets usually is something like 7 miles per dollar. Consumer website estimate[1] that in the best of case, a mile is equal to ~$0.01, so they're also saving money there.

Your math is way off. If it's 7 miles per dollar spent on the card, that is 7% back by your math, compared to 1-2% cashback, this conflicts with "they're also saving money there."

With that math, you're saying that it's a great deal for the consumer. Perhaps the other things you mentioned still add up to being in the airlines favor, but whats really going on?
Having been based in various co working spaces where many startups work from I can definitely say most work regular work weeks!

As the other reply says, usually you find people doing longer hours in a few selected periods of a startups life. E.g. First MVP, first big client... crunch time!
> Indeed an issue, especially with the public PKI, but you can roll your own root certificate with a lifespan of 50 years or something. This is somewhat dangerous as there's now a non-expiring trust anchor instead of the usual 1-3 year key rotation, but it's still practical, especially if HTTPS is only a layer of protection around your already signed firmware.

As you say this is dangerous but it's not as obvious how dangerous. To work with this trust anchor and keep it secur e you've now got a lot of physical and software security you now have to deal with for the next 50 years even if you stop supporting a given device. Since if anyone gets a hold of that root certificate they can all the sudden pretend to be you to everyone continuing to use your devices and you've now got a massive PR issue, if not legal liability. It's not an easy problem to deal with.
Usually the opposite: business thinks it's going to get lots of users, engineers code for such, business way undershoots estimates, stuck with over-engineered app.

I've never heard of a PM saying such a thing.

The majority of Dems I know saw the election as rigged too. The Dem primary was absolutely disgusting, and then of course CNN got caught giving debate questions to Hillary.
I would say a he meant a "beginner of gnome 3".

But I have given gnome 3 a fair chance and was quite happy with it for a while, but then I updated it and all my addons and themes were no longer usable. That annoyed me and I change the desktop.

So I would say that not only beginner of gnome 3 have problems with it. But also many people that already have expectations to a desktop environment.

I think this industry won't last for very long. Mile-earning cards are dependent on merchants paying high fees. In most of the developed world, interchange fees have been capped (e.g. 40bp in the EU). Once that happens, these rewards credit cards disappear overnight (which is what happened in the UK shortly after the IC regulation).

Eventually, I think the US will have its own cap on interchange fees. Credit card rewards will then cease to exist. It's fundamentally inefficient.

(But perhaps lobbyists are more powerful here than in the EU / Australia?)
Why You Should Never, Ever Put Two Spaces After a Period (2014)
I should mention that this is just a way to simplify how you contribute to GNOME apps (and libraries/services for the adventurous). We are using technologies that were incubated in GNOME to simplify contributing to GNOME. This includes OSTree, Flatpak, and Builder currently. It's unlikely that jhbuild will disappear for things that require an entire session (shell, mutter, dbus, etc), at least in the short term.

This in no way affects users, or distributions that choose to use something other than Flatpak to ship applications. It's simply a shortcut for contributors to get started without building the dependency tree. No more build breakages in the dependency graph. No more compiling WebKit.

Ask HN: Breaking into an exotic job market
I am extremely happy at my current job. (If you work there with me, and are reading this, I wouldn't worry quite yet, since this is an extreeeemely long shot.)

For family reasons we are contemplating spending time in South Korea. Maybe a year, maybe longer. I'm a Dutch citizen, US permanent resident; my wife is a US citizen from Korean descent. I have a self-proclaimed excellent mastery of English, but my Hangul (Korean) is at "community college beginner's level".

Who can help? It'd be much appreciated. There is a lot of things to contemplate about, here, but I'm currently focusing on the job aspect of this plan.

While I lived in the Netherlands, I noticed Undutchables: https://www.undutchables.nl/ ("recruitment partner for internationals"). I've never dealt with them, but it sounds like a similar agency for South Korea would be useful. I'm a DevOps-minded technical leader, specialized in Java web applications in the cloud, with management experience, I believe I'm a sought-after professional, but ugh, the language... the culture... the paperwork... can I do it?
112 nights in Hilton properties last year, about 20% redeemed. I eat at the hotel restaurants a lot because it's convenient (and occasionally good — Trianon Palace probably having the best Hilton restaurant), I generally get them to book my airport transport because it's convenient, I often raid the minbar for water because it's convenient, and I usually have room service at least once.

Lobbyists are pretty powerful and Americans like the rewards, so I don't think it will change any time soon.

In any case I would assume that merchant fees follow the same pattern as tax incidence. Just like taxes on goods, they are passed on to the consumer or merchant in relation to the supply and demand of the product:

Friendster and MySpace failed because of scaling issues - but it was not scaling per se but bad execution: They choose the wrong technology, brought in the wrong CTOs who bought very expensive hardware (wrong, few expensive high end servers with expensive storage, instead several more low cost normal servers) and software with very high license costs (wrong, ColdFusion on dotNet (experimental) on Windows (high lic costs)). That's why both lost the race, they stalled development because of rewrites for a year (too long).

Edit: you can read about both project histories, and learn about them. Of course on gets down-voted for mentioning it.
I read three paragraphs without coming to any notion of why "Sleep Is the New Status Symbol". Whatever happened to "getting to the point"?
Isn't the same true of whatever signing certificate you're using to provide signed images? You'd still need to either control DNS or be able to interfere with traffic to do anything.
Most cards give you two miles per dollar spent, not seven. If you did get seven, then that carrier would value those miles even less than they currently do
The other great thing here for airlines is that they can devalue the miles at any time, which they do on a regular basis.
The bulbs apparently work fine with the Smartthings hub, so should work with HA without a gateway once direct Zigbee support is merged.
Well said. It appears deliberate social engineering has become acceptable in recent years. It makes me feel uncomfortable.
You're not alone. I, and everyone at work except perhaps our CEO, get probably 30 hours of focused programming done, with the caveat that probably around 75% of that programming is done in pairs. Which still feels like very productive programming most of the time. We do this by using the pomodoro technique and TDD (although I'm sure there are lots of other ways, and that it's mostly a combination of company philosophy and a fitting business model and product).
