This is one of those things where you usually have to go through the school of hard knocks to experience the "fun" parts of working for a small company. When I was a new grad and my first job was at a company of 10-20 people, I only thought about how I'd be interacting with almost the entire company all of the time, and the idea of small, younger companies being a bigger risk to employees never came across my mind.

The warning signs I started to pick up were employee churn, company seemingly not growing in staff size as well. People found their company's practices questionable and they jumped to better places to work at. Managers were sometimes hush-hush with projects being carried out. When I worked there as a consultant, I was working on websites that most of the company's programmers, designers, and managers didn't even know existed on the agenda. I don't know if that is normal for consultant work, but this division of knowledge felt strange for a company small in size.

How does systemd-resolved work with NM? If the goal in general is to have a non-dbus version when NM isn't used, then provide both versions as packages.
Okay, so research the author to better understand the context. He rejects the Hobbesian ideal that a social contract, enforced by a central power, provides critical scaffolding upon which wealth and prosperity can exist in a society. On this point he confuses the existence of Hobbes Leviathan, with how and where that power is applied. Removing property rights isn't just unrealistic, it doesn't work where its been applied.

The author also advocates for the employee's "right to say no". On this point I agree, in that employees should be able to accumulate wealth and have options. There should not be a one-way street.
I did, but I didn't mean it in a negative way!

The Racket one is definitely more towards the "practical" side than the C++ one (C++ is more constrained when it comes to how it can embed DSLs) but for me it falls into a similar bucket with the label "interesting and quirky DSLs that probably aren't practically useful but make me very happy". You may disagree regarding practicality and that's okay by me but please don't take offense. :)
There are some cryptocurrencies which are actually technologically novel. Unfortunately, they don't usually do a great job of marketing themselves, since their teams are more interested in building the technology than in making big bucks from ICOs or speculators.

For example, there is Monero and other "privacy" coins, which promise private and untraceable transactions. They are usually based on ring signatures.

Or IOTA which promises to scale to thousands of transactions per second, and is based on a Directed Acyclic Graph instead of a blockchain. The more devices or people who use it to make transactions, the faster it gets. Scalability is something Bitcoin is struggling with right now.
The MSP430, released in 2010, can be clocked down to 32kHz. That's pretty much the state of the art in modern, low-power devices.
My claim was that Canada as no concept like the 1st amendment... Canada does not offer the same level of protection in their constitution as the US Constitution does

Piecework (and Mechnical Turk!) probably makes more sense in an environment with Basic Income. That gives the employee a chance to decide if the effort is worth the $/piece without compromising on their health and welfare.
> because presumably it bruised their pride. Even though it was strongly in their interests.

We all do that. For example, I'll hold onto a bad investment because selling it means admitting I screwed up. It's a tendency we all have to fight.
I think the difference is Oprah provides a little value to a lot of people (whether it be therapeutic, entertainment or what have you). Collectively, she is providing a lot more "value" because of the platform and distribution she has achieved. Your garbage collector provides great value to you, but no value to the grand majority of people.
Yes, each chain on its own can use sharding. The protocol underlying each chain/sharding method would have to implement the interoperability of chains protocol.

Think of it like TCP/IP today. In your own network, you can use whatever you want, let's say Zigbee. Once I want to interop with other networks though, I'll have to go to TCP/IP or similar.
If the listing agent is on Zillow, they will usually be the first person in the list. And it will say "Listing Agent" next to their name. The rest of the list will be "Premier Agent", which really just means that they paid Zillow for the privilege of being in those lists.
>intellectual property, real property or personal property you are referring to is the product of all the risks and costs I'm talking about

What? I'm sorry but that went straight over my head. You said

>... As an owner I wish this were true. For me and most owners I know work is mandatory, and its 60 hour weeks and a lot of sleepless nights. There is no safety net. There is no unemployment. I get no workman's compensation. I have no employment law protections. Its, as one HN comment said some time ago, "a suffering contest" a lot of the time.

Which looks very much like something a startup owner, or atleast a new business owner would say. I can assure you a property owner will sing a very different tune.

>And, that rent-seeking is very much taxed, contrary to the author's contention, at multiple levels and in many ways.

The author didn't deny that. He just said how he was re-investing the income therefore isn't going to get taxed on the rent. This again tells me that you didn't read the article properly.
Bitcoin's total potential transaction volume is about 3 orders of magnitude less than the Visa network. It's a massively centralized currency (everyone has a list of every transaction in the currency) compare to any real currency which can perform transactions solely between two parties.

There is absolutely no inherent value and no transaction is denominated in bitcoins (you can pay in the number of bitcoins equivalent to a number of dollars, but nobody operating a real business wants a number of bitcoins for a good or service).
I work in a division of my company that was acquired by it 10 years ago (about a year or 2 before I started working here). When I started, there was "pizza Friday" every week. About a year later, it was every month (and headcount was much higher). A year later, we were building out into another part of the building that we took over when the previous tenant's lease came up. Fast forward. Now, 2/3 of the office it gone, offshored. There's a monthly bagel Wednesday. I've only stayed this long because my manager is pretty awesome.

But I feel like I've seen both sides: Growing out of childhood and falling into senescence. The next time I see this pattern, I'll leave a couple years earlier.

Can you give some examples of the UX? From my perspective, both browsers have a bar at the top to enter a URL, and a spot to click on next to a tab to open up a new tab. And a star at the top right side to bookmark a page. Not sure what else (other than configuration menus, perhaps?) where the UX really differs from one browser to another. And UX within a page (where I spend most of my time) is determined by the web site I'm visiting.
Google isn't portraying otherwise they are a neutral 3rd party providing a conduit for others to communicate.

Having an unbiased conduit is essential for the truth else the conduit for nearly all information in the world will say only what people with money and influence say is correct.

Having bad people say damaging untrue things is a necessary cost we must be willing to bear in order to have a truly free internet.

The right to be forgotten is a cure worse than the disease.

For one: if you're using Above Top Secret as a source...

But anyway: there's a lot of sensationalizing and outright falsehoods when it comes to attributing things to the Russian government, no doubt, but we do know they leaked the DNC emails and have a very powerful and aggressive cyber intelligence department.

No, there's no evidence Russia is behind this, but they're starting off as the prime suspect for a lot of good reasons.

It's one day before Ukraine's day of independence from the Soviet Union. Ukrainian tax software, 1 of 2 mandated to be used by all companies in Ukraine, was used to spread it. A high-ranking Ukrainian intelligence official was assassinated the same day. Ukrainian government and companies have been very disproportionately affected. The ransomware was a cover for a data wiper; clearly it has a political rather than a monetary goal. Russia has been caught red-handed in cyberattacks against Ukrainian infrastructure for several years.

It's the Russian government or someone trying to frame the Russian government; I think we can agree on that. We just don't know which it is yet.

If I'm not mistaken, they called this a "flaw", not a "vulnerability", which definitely wouldn't have been correct. I personally would have preferred "trade-off" but I'm honestly not sure about the word "flaw".

My general point is, even if they made some technical errors as well, their consideration, I believe, was more about the consequences of their interpretation.

I'm always wary of this sort of statement.

When I use Rust, I don't even know what was the colour and sexual orientation of every person that has written every part of it. Why do you think I should know that and care about that? What makes you think it is relevant?
In the old days there were the journals from the scientific societies and the Elsevier-Pergamon duopoly. Society journals were respectable, generally speaking, and subscriptions were affordable. Elsevier/Pergamon was expensive, pretty bad, and something you could do without if you had to. If the library wouldn't subscribe you'd ask for a reprint. Things weren't great 30 years ago but manageable.

Several things have happened since. The society journals have mostly been sold to commercial publishers, and prices have gone up steeply, Elsevier is as sketchy as always but even more expensive, and the various open-access journals have popped up, with a quality even worse than Elsevier. Finally, even academics at teaching institutions are forced to publish thanks to clueless administrators and a general shortage of funds.

Scientific publishing is fully out of control. Librarians thought they had it bad in 2001, but look at it now!
Section 33 (the notwithstanding clause) makes most of the charter weak at best.

If the text next to the agent says "Listing Agent" then yes. For listings where the agent chose to share the listing with Zillow, they will show up, maybe with a good picture, maybe not, along with a bunch of "premier agent" listings. These are agents that paid to be put on this property, like Google Adwords for Real Estate.

But some listings don't have the listing agent on Zillow. See my example below.

Take for example this:

https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/13911266_zpid/globalre...

vs:

https://www.coloproperty.com/listing/details/1125163

Jesse is the listing agent, that second page is from the MLS and is definitely correct. The Zillow listing only lists a Premier Agent, and that is not the listing agent.

I don't know what the correct morality is here, but I know that a basic principle of morality is to use the same yardstick for everybody.

Companies, specially big consulting companies do something similar to their clients all the time when inflating projects and time, but, somehow, that just sound like business as usual.
O'Reilly books no longer selling individual books and videos online
Per an email they sent me:

Things are changing at the O'Reilly online shop—as of today, we are no longer selling individual books and videos via shop.oreilly.com. Of course, we'll continue to publish books and videos on the topics you need to know, like data science, product management, and leadership—and you'll still be able to buy them at Amazon and other retailers. And these important things about your O'Reilly account are staying exactly the same:

You'll still have access to every ebook and video listed in "Your Products" on your O'Reilly account page.

We'll alert you when those products are updated, and you can download the revised version from the "Your Products" page.
You can still send the O'Reilly ebooks you've purchased to Dropbox and/or Google Drive.

And of course, as you've already discovered, every O'Reilly book and video (including O'Reilly conference sessions) is available instantly on Safari.

If you haven't been on Safari recently, you may have missed some cool new features: live online courses, self-assessment tools on some of the most popular learning paths, Oriole interactive tutorials, and case studies.
> and stopping that "fear of change" feeling you can end up with when you work for one company for a long time.

That's what I'm dealing with right now. I've been 9 years at the place that I started at, right out of college. Missed some signs of a downward slide that I should've recognized, and I feel like my current team is a "dead team walking", just waiting for the company to find a way to get rid of us.

So I've got pressure to move on, and my most solid options mean moving my family. If I'd been searching over the last couple of years, I'm sure I could've found something cool and suitable, but still in my current area.
I think it's likely that it's because organisations can manage users by their domain name - it's possible to have a blanket rule that allows users to create an account for a team if they have an e-mail address from that organisation.

That said, I'm surprised they've not let users associate all of your Slack team accounts with a single account.

I wasn't trying to make any comment about the job-automation situation; for what it's worth, I find arguments both ways to be very persuasive.

Rather, I was commenting that the moral system in the grandparent comment of essentially "decide what values are important to you, and if your country's laws don't align well enough, feel free to break those laws" is quite an eyebrow-raiser.

Do you disagree?

five years ago, I had an entry level overnight noc position at a big company, and within 6 months I had scripted almost everything and was watching Netflix most of the night and didn't make any particular effort to hide that I had nothing to do.

I got rewarded for it with a promotion, and then I did the same thing and got another promotion, and another. I'm making more than twice was I was making before and now my job is telling other people how to automate their jobs away.

I keep scripting annoying tasks because I'm lazy and get rewarded for it with more annoying tasks and more money.

If he had just told his boss, and put what he did on his resume, I'm sure he'd be making more money today and have more interesting work than he would have if he hadn't lied.

For those interested in the open source side of interactive toys, check out:

http://buttplug.io (NSFW)

We're working on a fully open source, cross platform, cross hardware system for supporting things like this. All of our code is up on github (http://github.com/metafetish), and we have a server in C# (mainly due to Windows being our best MVP platform, typescript/javascript on the way soon with WebBluetooth for all platforms supported by that), with clients in javascript and C#, and Go, Rust, and Python on the way soon.

Our protocol layout documentation is at:

https://metafetish.github.io/buttplug/ (SFW outside of wording, just text and some flow charts)

We currently support the Fleshlight Launch, Kiiroo Onyx, the full line of Lovense toys, and even XInput gamepads. I've already reversed a ton of other toys (KGoal, Vorze, WeVibe, RealTouch, etc...), so those will be coming in later versions, we're just trying to reach v1 right now.

We're still a bit out from our first release, but we're always interested in contributors from all levels and backgrounds, from Bluetooth/USB reverse engineering up through frontend.

If you're interested in how all of this stuff works, from the hardware all the way to the web services, I did a full teardown and explanation of the Fleshlight Launch and Feelme service on my youtube channel:

To be [un]fair, these days Oprah makes a bit more money by apportioning time on her OWN media platform for other people to sell woo-woo lifestyle products. She's going to make more money from that than she ever did by appearing on camera personally. If she withdrew from society tomorrow, the people she left running her channel would still be doing work on behalf of the business, and would still be sending her checks.

She can't appear on camera 24-7, but that media empire she now owns chugs along even while she sleeps. That's why owners win.

Your garbage pickup person doesn't even own the route they clear. They can be replaced at the drop of a hat by someone else, or by a semi-automated garbage truck. They cannot effectively capture the value they do create. The guy who "owns" the routes via their contracts with the municipal/county council is the one that can suck most of that up.

It isn't those who create value that get rich, but those who can best capture created value.
