Minnesota airport fails 95 percent of security tests, sources say
Older people are hesitant because traditionally before the internet, for sale by owner homes had a bad reputation(iffy homes sold by cheap asses with hidden issues) and the real estate agent was the best choice for most.

I was helping my parents sell they're home and get rid of those con-artist real estate agent....they acted as though I suggested crazy talk for months on end to do for sale by owner.

Lastly some seller agents will refuse to visit or show for sale by owner as a professional courtesy issue(protectionism).

> We don't punish people because it makes us feel good or for some sense of fairness, we remove people for the good of society.

Sounds nice, but isn't it a very common motive that the aggrieved want "some sense of fairness" in punishment? You hear it a lot after publicised trials, the relatives will offer their opinion on whether the punishment was appropriate for their loss. Doesn't it seem a little weird that only society's interest is what matters?

There's a rather large can of worms in the ideas you speak of.

Safety, for instance, is not an obvious thing. Suppose a study comes out identifying that 50% of members of a given group (say geographical, skin color, education, etc) will commit a heinous crime (and 50% is way more than normal in the population). There is no further specific information; as far as members of this group, it's a coin toss.

What are we to do? The ones who haven't committed a crime yet are a risk. Can we lock them all up? I doubt it.

Here's another interesting one. A study appears in which it is studied what happens to jealousy-murders, eg where a guy finds his wife with another guy and murders them. Lets say the study concludes that once the murders have happened, the murderer is no more likely than anyone else to commit a crime. It's totally safe to let him out now, because it's safety we care about? Seems wrong. But many countries do recognise this kind of enraged murder as a special circumstance in sentencing.

Anyway, not saying I have the answers. Ethical questions have been vexing for a long time.
>"And the charge wouldn't be treason, because the charge is never treason, because of the Constitutional limits on attached to treason and the fact that any punishment can be attached to some other offense without those limits."

There have been several Americans charged and convicted of treason. Tokyo Rose is a rather well-known one with many references in pop culture:

Mighty Car Mods did 'THE CARS OF CUBA' Special

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJPqe1baowA

they got paid to do fast and furious promotion, but instead concentrated on Cuban ingenuity when it comes to fixing cars without replacement parts. What you see in the episode (30-50 year old cars held together with ducttape) is not that far off from what was the norm in Eastern bloc under Russian occupation.

Good morning Kostas!

I saw something this morning that showed Chalkidiki, I wish I could remember where I saw it - the water was so clear and blue it looks blissful!

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, we are currently not hiring. But as a start up this could change in an instance. I will put your email into our database and should a match with your skill set arise we will reach out to you. I do want to let you know however, I am sorry to say, at the moment COMPANY_NAME lacks the legal resources to sponsor visas other than TN-1visas for Canadian and Mexican citizens.

Warmly,

In the 24 years I've been working for Silicon Valley / SF companies
(7 companies, the latest two as remote positions) I've never gone
through HR or gone through the regular job-posting-or-board search ...
I've gotten all jobs through connections and references, including
the very first. Many job transitions involved a significant pay raise,
and several involved liquidity events ... none were huge, but I managed
to filter the occasional opportunities down to those that "made sense"
and had a plausible exit strategy ... I regret not having gone to Splunk.
I usually joined companies with between 3 and 25 employees.

But I look back and think that maybe I've missed something, and I've just
floated down the stream meandering, jumping from one raft to the next.
I maybe haven't found the "best" match for my interests and skills since
I've never thought too deeply about what exactly I wanted to do. I've just
always "had skills and friends doing interesting things", and it's not
been bad.

The transition to remote happened four years ago. I joined one smaller
startup (with a single parent company funding its growth) ... a spinoff
of sorts. I stayed for three years and it was the worst professional
experience of my life, though I did appreciate California pay while living
in the Southeast. There is and continues to be a lot of management churn,
and a picture of the company should be in the Wikipedia entry
for "Dunning Kruger".

A year ago I started working for an already-acquired startup that was part
of a larger company (think 5K-15K employees). It's been the best experience
in a long time ... I belong to a smaller team within that "startup",
work on pretty interesting things. There's no equity, but my effective
annual compensation has increased approx 40% (generous bonus plan, and they
like my work).

I'd say for compensation and (mostly) positive development experiences,
working through my network has paid well.
It takes a certain type to WFH and there are plenty of downsides. I'm currently remote but I wouldn't say I prefer it to on site. It's almost certainly exaggeration to say everybody prefers it. There are ups and downs.
> You stand out in a cover letter by finding a concise and convincing to summarize why they should interview you and the value you bring

You don't stand out that way because everyone else is writing the same thing. After the first five, it's monotonous and loses any feeling of meaning or sincerity.

I usually know what "value" someone will bring by their resume. I need a data engineer -- you're a data engineer! Great. Business value is established.

Beyond that, I'm trying to figure out what it's like to work with you, whether you're an ethical person, whether you can work independently, etc. Those things are conveyed by personal details (and, eventually, the interview).
Yeah, I think it comes down to whether you define competition by quantity or quality of applicants. There are definitely valid reasons to approach the topic from both perspectives!
That's not the current heuristic; it's not nearly that simple.

Think about how you know if someone is interested in something. What does it mean to be interested? How does that translate into a sale?

A person just bought a vacuum cleaner. Does that mean they are interested in vacuum cleaners? Are vacuum cleaners things that people get interested in? Do people who are interested in vacuum cleaners buy more than people who are not interested in vacuum cleaners?

To us these answers are so obvious that it's humorous. To a computer, not so much.

There are many millions of interests, opinions, and things to buy--so count the combinations. We understand it all intuitively because we are adult humans with decades of experience in this society.

This is why search and ad companies hire so many AI researchers.

EDIT: to understand the financial incentives, see my other reply to you. In a PPC ecosystem it is better to match too greedily than to risk missing a customer ready to buy.
It’s interesting that an opinion that is supported by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, by the EU (which ended up banning companies from exporting supplies for death penalty to the US due to that), and by the International Court of Human Rights, is downvoted on HN.

It goes so far that countries in the ECHR can not extradite citizen to the US if they might face the death penalty, because the death penalty is something that, according to the European Council of Human Rights, no one, not even a criminal, deserves.
Hell no, without 2FA those are the only things protecting my account! Why would I want to post them publicly? That doesn't even make sense.

I do business with 4 banks and have no less than 4 credit cards, and I'm pretty sure that none of them offer proper 2FA with tokens for the online accounts. Now that you mention it, this is a serious question. Why does Comcast get there before any of the major and/or local banks?

I'll admit, if I can protect my Comcast account and as a result, I never have to speak to another one of their Customer Service Reps, it would be a huge victory! This is probably part of their retention strategy, to be fair.

It's telling that there's no mention of on any document, or interface to Comcast's 2FA settings (that I can find anyway) that speaks to how to use it for protecting the set-top box from ordering Pay-Per-View content.

If I turn on 2FA, I'm pretty sure I won't have the option to use it when ordering PPV. It looks like they have a PIN lock instead. Maybe I can disable PPV and protect it with the second factor?

I honestly have no idea why it's even an option. Are swatters gonna log into my Comcast account, upgrade my XFINITY connection to the maximum bandwidth, and sign me up for all of the premium channels?

Or are they hacking my account so they can pay the bill for me :-D
An i3.16xlarge is 488GB, not 48TB. The x1.32xlarge (largest amazon offers) is 2TB.

Additionally, self-managed PG is a huge operational undertaking compared to DynamoDB. RDS is a bit closer, but the largest RDS offers is db.r3.8xlarge, which is 244GB.

The db.r3.8xlarge on RDS Postgres all in with 3000 provisioned IOPS (just provisioning for writes, all reads should be served from memory) and 1.5TB storage ends up around $6k. A 3 year reservation will get that down to $3k.

Comparable DynamoDB (3000 write units, 3000 read units, reserved IOPS) comes out to $1500.

The key here is consistent performance and low operational overhead. As I said, we're pretty happy with it.

Ideally the real estate agent does help you get max value for your home.

So you make more even with commission. For bad sales people, impatient, or delusional folks, etc . A commission bad real estate agent is a great idea.

However bad real estate agents like house dumpers are satan's spawn.

They work the seller instead of the buyer.
Many, many years ago, I was at a random party where there were some people from Broadway (mostly from behind the scenes people). One small group was impressed that I, a non-theater random, knew what a dramaturg did when I eventually asked what they did. [1]

During the course of our conversation, they told me that the original Blue Men who started the original Blue Man Group had families in Japan and elsewhere who literally mortgaged their own properties (or whatever the equivalent is) to get the original show off the ground.

The genius of Blue Man Group, to me, was always that their branding made the person performing the role irrelevant (outside of standard physical characteristics). Having no speaking roles, they were all Blue Men. They were all part of their same planet.

That might be true in Norway, but it's clearly not true in the U.S. U.S. prisons and prison policies are tacitly designed to make them as miserable as they can be without making it obvious that they are in fact torture chambers. The widespread use of solitary confinement alone, which is now clearly understood to be torture, falsifies your assertion. The death penalty too does nothing to advance public safety. It is vengeance, pure and simple (and very expensive vengeance at that).
Trust? If the features are being shipped there really isn’t much trust required. You know after a week of that employee is delivering. Being in the office does not guarantee a single minute of additional productivity. In fact, I get more done in 2 hours working remote than I do at a typical day on-site.

Making people work on site for roles that don’t actually need to be – that’s just nonsense. The only thing I care about is shipping. I don’t care about eating lunch with the team, I don’t care about the idle chit chat. I certainly don’t need to be sitting in a conference room looking a a computer projector during sprint planning when I could just as easily be seeing that same screen and listening to the same conversation sitting in my office at home. When I work with the team, RARELY does it require interpretive dance to get a point across. Even white boarding can be just as easy remotely.

If you don’t trust employees enough to be remote, then you shouldn’t hire them to work in the office either.

Hardware engineering or other physical product-based businesses, I get it, remote usually doesn’t work. But for writing code, sales, marketing? Not a single reason not to be remote except if are working on something that requires a triple-lockdown environment and is highly secret. Very few companies have that level of absolute secrecy as a requirement – but even then, there have been known to be remote people even on those types of teams.

60 hours weeks aren't sustainable, but just look at teams during crunch weeks. They sure get a lot of work done.

Sometimes you've just got to put the hours and effort in to get the work done on time.

Now I quit very quickly after doing stupid hours a week. But I'd like to think the work produced was fine. Not that much different to a normal week. The work was all planned in detail, there weren't any big surprises, just lots of code to type in, lots of tests to write and run. I was just more tired.
Absolutely. FYI, I was targeting specifically timezones that I could be comfortable working with. There are a few outliers in the spreadsheet but were mostly close to my timezone so we would work the same hours.

Unfortunately, I forgot to reply to the commenter.

It depends on the agent.

Some are pretty good at getting you more. The opposite is a house dumper or bad one(the house dumper is pro, excellent for buying).

I've sold in other industries before....good ones are worth every penny and know how to twist arms.

Granted it is a cartel that hopefully Zillow will destroy. I suspect the agent will still be around for the lazy, elderly, or those who can't sell well.
I've been building my own dob's for the last 10 years...it's my favorite weekend activity and stress reliever, and the minute you get one done, you instantly think, "I can do an n+1 quicker than this one," then you're grinding for another year :)

Two things that I want to say that might make it easier for people who are starting out:

- Look to see if your local observatory has a mirror making room. (Volunteering at an observatory is what really started my interest in this)

- Find a local glass shop that does hot work, and ask them if they will pour your blanks for you: You'll never risk getting a glass blank crushed/chipped by UPS/FedEx and it's a LOT cheaper than buying the glass online. They will also generally be able to refer you to someplace that does cold work (which is usually $50/6 months access if it's set up as a non-profit or a museum) so you won't need to buy anything but the grit.

I was incredibly fortunate: The Toledo (Ohio) Museum of Glass rents both hot and cold shop time and I had a girlfriend at the time who was really experienced with the hot side of things (she had a MFA in Glass) and having her help me through the first few glass mirrors really helped me through the process. There were guys at the Observatory that I volunteered at (Perkins Observatory in Delaware) who had done this to give me pointers. There's a really great community that thrives on helping others online.

I could really geek out with this and talk everyone's heads off about this, but, if you have questions, feel free to shoot me an email (it's in my profile) and I'll be more than glad to help you out in any way I can.
-Breivik claimed during initial interrogation that he fully expected to be executed by the police shortly after being captured, IIRC.

It somehow feels very 'right' for lack of a better term - that rather than going out in what would, to him, probably be a martyresque way he now spends the rest of his days seeing how his plan - to sow the seeds of a fascist revolution - failed miserably. To him, that probably feels much worse than being murdered by the state.
There are lots of great backpacks in this thread.

I ran across this backpack at wal-mart, it's a great travel pack/day pack. It has a sleeve in the back (padded to the outside) for a laptop or camelbak, lots of pockets/sleeves inside that would fit chargers, phones, small tablet.

Loops on outside are great for carabiners/gear on a hike.

Greece and California are ten timezones apart. I just don't see how you're ever going to get past that unless you're willing to be nocturnal (and you tell the companies you're applying to you're willing to work during their daytime). You're competing for the job with hundreds of people in the same or adjacent timezones.

"Hack" also has that same bad connotation. E.g. type in a changelog that you added a "hack" to fix a bug.

Thanks for the reply with the information about timezones.

Best of luck with finding your remote job!

Perhaps one will come out of the attention your blog post has joined. Since people at your current employer may well know about this, perhaps put a small text 'ad' at the top of your blog advertising that you are always interested in the appropriate remote opportunities in Node.js?
I both agree with you and disagree with you. On the one hand war just or unjust results in destruction and death, so anything that comes from it is tainted by it.

On the other hand, that may be my personal attitude, others certainly feel different about it. Some people profit off if it (not in the multinational way, I mean people making a living bringing provisions in, etc).

On a detached unemotional level, I think there is no reason not to record these events. Be they fire, earthquake, floods, disease, war, etc.

the point of the library is so it doesnt get rewritten - did you open source what you did before?
Agreed. I would only hire remote workers who either are in a close timezone or will guarantee a few hours of overlap each day. 10 hours is too much.
Interesting - curious to get your thoughts on how posting to HN could enhance someone's financial stake in this. Given that the acquisition is already complete, that seems less likely to me.

Now, if this was done with the intent to drum up interest (and consequently, the value of) Blue Man Group pre acquisition, I might agree - although a simple link feels like a reach.
You really need to go see a tax lawyer and report back to us since I don't think anyone has a clear answer to this.

As a non-lawyer, I don't understand how this will zero out your taxes. You will get X amount and then take a X deduction, so wouldn't it look like 0 change on your taxable income on your tax returns?

> Netflix should just make a native app, like everyone else who needs drm do.

The native app security model on desktop (i.e. can do anything) doesn't make the notion of letting streaming services run native apps look so great.

Do you really prefer giving streaming services (not just Netflix but others too) fully-privileged code execution instead of having an operating system or browser vendors exercise some oversight?

I agree that differentiation is a good goal, but the issue here is that the letter comes across as trying to use a personal tone to compensate for technical acuity. The author even says so in a sibling comment: "I know that there are a lot of better developers out there than me.". Putting a personal twist on a letter focusing on the value you would bring to the company is a good thing, but the opposite does not work as well.
