How much do they have to actually stock though? 50-100k USD ($5-10 over 10000 screeners) is a good bit of money but they'd probably only pay out a tiny portion of that and compared to the budgets of a large blockbuster it's not that large of an outlay.

If they can reliably embed multiple private keys into the screener DVDs they could get by with having fewer account and using the combination of accounts as the key. Though really if they're able to embed a whole private key in a way that survives encoding why bother with the bounty, though I guess that saves them the trouble of having to go find torrents/rips themselves.
Is it frowned upon to ask during an interview what hours most engineers work? Will that hurt your candidacy?

Studio pays out that amount in case every single receiver of advance copy leaks it, is it the case? I would guess that there are only a few who leak it. Also, I think, studio can start legal action against the leakers, so it could collect fines in case of leak.

Ask HN: What is the best tech/learning podcast you can recommend?
Either for passive or active listening where passive is just informative and active is something that I should focus on trying stuff/doing stuff while listening that they are teaching me.

I feel like I need to learn more, and would like to know what you love to learn from.

Thanks
I stand corrected. Thank you. The next question is, "What is social media?". What about sites where the content is user generated but those users are compensated in tokens which are exchangeable for real money? Is that commercial or social?
Artificial Intelligence Will Not Take Over Wall Street
It's a little more subtle than that: It's "safe code must be memory safe" and "unsafe code infects the whole module". The stuff you're talking about is "what exact invariants are unsafe code supposed to uphold". Because unsafe Rust is a superset of safe Rust, that being an open question does not mean that what's meant by "Safe Rust" inside of safe Rust is up for questioning.

Work on exactly what unsafe code is expected to do is ongoing.

I don't want to be dismissive, but this article talks about the graphics APIs and the hardware architecture (x86) yet fails to address the elephant in the room there: Cider ports. That is, macOS games which are actually Windows games running atop the the WINE-based proprietary middleware known as Cider.

Cider has both been a great boon to Mac gaming — it makes it cheap and quick to port Windows-only titles to the Mac without having to make them internally cross-platform — and also a great detriment: its Windows translation layer imposes a performance penalty and prevents true native feel, and crucially, many such games are using Cider's slow Direct3D-to-OpenGL translator, which is not only slower than real Direct3D (thus why such games will always run better under Windows in Boot Camp on the same hardware), and limits you to the Direct3D 9 featureset, but it is also translating to a graphics API Apple basically don't care about now (OpenGL).

The good news is that more and more games are using commodity engines, and those engines usually have proper native macOS support, and ideally Metal support. Nonetheless, Cider ports are very much a thing that must still be contended with.

For a recent high-profile case of Cider causing trouble, Square Enix went the cheap route when they ported their MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, to the Mac, and used Cider. The result was infamously bad and they had to pull it from the shelves. They did of course fix it up and re-release it, but even then, the resulting port is slower than and graphically inferior to simply running the game under Windows, because it's stuck with fake Direct3D 9. On Windows you get to choose between Direct3D 9 and Direct3D 11.

All ICOs are centralised. It's lots of people sending their money to one entity, never the other around.
I am not sure if this true for current hardware, but once upon a time the mainframe CPUs contained duplicates of each functional unit that ran in lock step; after every computational instruction, the results of the units are compared; if they differ, the CPU repeats the instruction once. If the results still differ, it "calls in sick" to the operating system.

The OS then brings a spare CPU online and transfers the program that was running on the failing CPU to the new CPU, takes the failing one offline, and, depending on your service contract with IBM, calls home for a replacement CPU. The program does not even notice something went wrong. The next day an IBM service technician rings your data center's doorbell and replaces the faulty CPU, all without taking the machine offline.

That kind of resiliency and redundancy runs throughout every aspect of the system's design.
If you can afford it, having a mainframe be your single point of failure is not too bad.
iMac owner chiming in; late 2013 model.

Gaming on OSX for me is hit and miss. Many of the games I have recently played have been advanced Wine wrappers and they work out pretty well. One company, Wargaming, has done pretty good with this model but they don't provide true support as the wrapper itself does introduce a lot of variable. Blizzard was a mainstay for my buying but even though I have not tried Overwatch the fact it was not made available for OSX does not bode well. If one of your longest supporters suddenly drops off, what does that say?

Was there some scare introduced with suggestions they may move off Intel? I never put any real faith into it and to be honest it might be the straw for me if it ever did happen.

Still a lot comes down to Apple really doesn't push their desktops and laptops as being used for games. They will put a "performance" claim on their website showing improvement over past models but not much beyond that. I rely on sites like barefeats to see if performance has ticked up enough to warrant a new purchase; as you can see for me my system is fine for what is there.

the saving grace has always been, just use bootcamp. It works, I don't need a new machine, and it can use the latest video drivers from the manufacturers site.
Just to play devil's advocate, I've been told that in a negotiation, it's always important to know what your best alternative is (e.g., https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/sloan-school-of-management/15-66... ; "I've been told" because I'm terrible at negotiating).

When a country starts to negotiate with the World Bank, generally speaking, their best alternative is to print money; cause hyperinflation; and then pay off their existing debts with the new, worthless, money. It seems to me that the World Bank's terms are better for the poor than that.

I am unclear about what you mean by this? The lisp in emacs is elisp ([0] emacs lisp). More generally, Lisp is the name given to a class of languages including Guile, Racket, Scheme, Common Lisp that generally feature homomorphism, functional style and parentheses to enable the homomorphism.

You should interview defensively at least a couple times a year IMO. It is good to know your market value. HR knows your market value. When your pay and your market value go wildly out of line, it's time to step up. This happens disturbingly often with long-term risk-averse employees.

That said, if you can't stomach risk, then don't do this. But try to understand that by not taking risks now, you're taking a huge long-term risk on your financial future.
From my understanding a lot of people use it to transfer money between countries, you buy some bitcoins, then transfer them to your bank account in a different country, and you won't have to explain to the bank where you got the money and where you are transferring them because you could just say that you mined those coins and now cashing out. Correct me if there is a flaw in my logic
> In a lot of places, having a talk with your manager about your salary before going off and actively looking for other offers is going to go down a lot better.

This has got to be some of the worst career advice I've ever heard. I made this mistake once, at my first software job. My employer's response was to say "NO" and then proceed to make my life hell in an attempt to make me quit. With a wife, kids, and a mortgage, that wasn't an option for me. I was eventually fired (for poor performance, a mere 2 months after receiving an 'outstanding' yearly appraisal) and spent 2 months unemployed before landing my next job. On the plus side, the offer I received was higher than the raise I had requested from my former employer.

So, my advice: Trusting your manager to be a reasonable human being is not worth the risk. You are absolutely satisfied with all aspects of your job, including your salary... right up until the moment you hand your boss a letter of resignation.

Now if you have a large amount of savings (say 6 months - 1 year of living expenses), feel free to take stupid risks. Otherwise, have another job lined up when you ask for a raise... you don't have to actually tell your boss about it, after all.

"Once you have said "you have an offer" it acts as a flag that at you." I've found this line of thinking to be false but so many employees are afraid of this. If it does happen you just leave again, big deal.
This piece has a lot of assertions and predictions but nothing clearly quantified or falsifiable. Somehow, I doubt he's shorting Disney or any other major content company but if he were (even in a fake money portfolio) it would make for a much more interesting argument.
The size of the transactions is mostly a factor of how many addresses are included. So moving 1BTC split across hundreds of addresses ("dust" in the jargon) is a lot more expensive than moving 1000BTC from a single address for instance.

Unfortunately it's generally advised to use a new receiving address for every bitcoin transaction to make it harder to trace how much money you have and how you earn and spend it (most wallet craft a new address for every receive transaction) so it's very common to end up with your assets split up across dozens or even hundred of addresses.
Can it? I understood it as more nuanced.
Perhaps then, you should consider looking to work for a company that will be loyal to you. :)
>What are you talking about? The dollar loses to inflation every year. A 1990 dollar is $1.87 in 2017 dollars.

Which is precisely why you don't leave money sitting in a 0% savings account. You invest it in equity, not a currency. Fiat is designed to lose value through inflation. Thats how the system works.

Expecting to hedge against inflation by dumping your money in another currency is insanity. The only way is through actual economic growth.

IME it's an OK way to show examples which are validated (and thus don't get broken as the API changes), but it's really not a good way to have actual tests. Terrible debugging experience aside, actual unit tests just make very little sense as part of a documentation.

I see no advantage over traditional invisiblee watermarks.

A movie usually just leaks once or twice, these leaks get replicate everywhere. So if you are looking for a specific movie, just get a pirated copy from anywhere and check the watermark yourself. It's trivial to check if there is a leak at all and also trivial to find that leaked version and test it. No need to throw 15 bucks per copy on it, just let the intern monitor some torrent trackers.
Almost definitely.

I suffer hayfever-like symptoms only when visiting a certain area for a few days, and typically it takes a few days for the effect to kick in. (I live in Sydney, Australia, and the area is about 3 hours drive north of same.) Flora shouldn't be significantly different, though there will of course be some variation. It's the fact that it seems to take 2-3 days to kick in, and effects are mostly prevalent in the evenings, that has me most confused. I considered it may be artificial environmental (something in the living quarters, f.e.) rather than flora, but the effect still occurs when I avoid the abode. It seems to vary slightly throughout the year, but not as much as I'd hope it to be if it's vanilla hayfever. It's very strange, especially as it only started occurring for me about a decade ago - in my mid 30's.

Still, this anecdote is not compelling evidence goop isn't a steaming load of hoohar.
This is an interesting problem. Let's say I think I'm underpaid and speak with my manager about it.

If I go in with broad market data, the argument could be made that my specific circumstances make the general market data invalid.

If I go in with specific job offers, then I present myself as a risk to leaving, and the conversation may be more adversarial than I intend.

So could there be a service that sits in between? my-market-rate.example.com. Employees submit resumes, and we abstract the companies, roles, etc. Submit those resumes to companies to get an expected salary for that position and indicate interest to hire.
Though I feel like a lot of BTCers are not interested in this, payment networks based on top of BTC would be very interesting.

Essentially no barrier to entry, and some federation could happen.

Of course, what you end up doing is creating banks, but hey they're not regulated by the government if you are behind 5 proxies? "Hobbyist bankers" might be fun.

The ultimate frustration of bitcoin is that it can occupy the entire range of decentralization, but the community compares everything to the logical limits of "the Federal Reserve will defeat math and generate BTC" and "I don't even have to trust my own computer to do this transaction!".

“Self-Care” – [Episode #80] Make Money Online
Eth confirmation is on the order of seconds: https://etherscan.io/chart/blocktime
To be specific, fully 88%(!) of miners are actively signaling support for the upgrade plan known as "segwit2x".[1] The contention was between whether Bitcoin should scale via block growth or via a different transaction serialization format that allowed for more transactions and also opens the door for certain forms of off-chain transaction. Segwit2x does both: it doubles the block size, and introduces the new transaction serialization format.

This should result in an immediate transaction capacity increase of at least ~3x. On top of this, the new transaction serialization format allows for technologies such as the in-progress "lightning network", which allows for very very substantial transaction volume off-blockchain. (Think on the order of thousands of times higher volume at the very least. Probably on the order of millions is attainable.)

There's something to be said for communication style. You can do essentially what top-GP suggests, but without the high-conflict ultimatum -- basically, communicate your worry about your salary in a series of low-drama conversations, in which you can calmly suggest that your research implies that you'd be able to make $X in a similar job elsewhere, but really enjoy your current job, etc.

The key, of course, is always to understand your BATNA: Are you actually willing to leave? You can play a significantly more daring game if you're prepared to lose, rather than accept status quo or a modest improvement.

>> To me if I can get a better offer (ie over 10% salary increase) that's just a signal that the current employer is trying to take advantage of me.

It's more likely ignorance of your specific market price than malice.

First, the employer isn't even going to know your outside market price if you don't get an offer in the first place. For you to prove that you're worth the 10% salary increase, you would have to be vetted by a prospective employer as having met their requirements to be hired at some price.

Secondly, your current employer needs to agree that you're worth that 10% salary increase. Their perception of your value may simply not match your own perception of your value.
An iPad. Seriously, most board and card games either have or are in the process of getting an app nowadays. You can load that sucker up with hundreds of deep complex games with good A.I. and play them to your heart's content.

Also, a lot of games have a lot of empty space in their box. I've been able to fit 6 games in the space of a Targi box, for example (great 2 player game that's deep but small, btw). I think I managed to put Targi, Tides of Time, Lost Cities, a Smash Up expansion (playable at 2 players), and a couple others in there.

I'd also recommend a 6 Nimmmt! or a Rage deck (has 6 suits numbered 0-15, suitable for a lot of modern card games). There are a whole bunch of games you can play with those decks and they take up no space at all. Also 6 Nimmmt! is a blast with 6+ players, in my opinion.

Also I'm a game designer, and I find myself bringing out a Rage deck pretty often to prototype new ideas. It's very versatile. Just did it again for a new idea yesterday.

6 Nimmmt: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/24313/games-playable-deck...

Rage: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/1907/games-playable-rage-...

Some smaller footprint but deeper games I'd recommend are Arboretum, Akrotiri, Kahuna, Targi, Bohnanza, Noir: Killer vs Assassin, Tichu (can be played with standard playing cards and 4 marked up jokers, or with the aforementioned Rage deck.. super deep partner game), Biblios, Armadora, 12 Days, R-Eco, Condottiere, For Sale (playable with 6 Nimmmt! and some tokens), The Game (playable with 6 Nimmmt! deck).
Yes, but watermarks don't leave evidence in a public ledger when the movie is pirated, you have to go out and find the pirated copy and compare watermarks.

Using Bitcoin private keys, as long as some pirate prefers money now to the health of an illegal distributional chain in the future, creates an incentive to get someone else to provide that information to you via the blockchain.
> Have you tried/considered charging SF/NYC rates to companies that are based there?

Yep, that's basically what I do :D

Moving to SF and then moving back was one of the biggest boosts - both in the immediate pay raise, and in giving me the sense of self-worth to ask for more in future roles.

I'm now at $126k base + bonuses and retirement and such. I know that's on the low end for SF/NYC, but I've definitely seen jobs there offer less. I lease a small office that's a 6-min bike ride from home for $250/month and work from there most days. All told, I'm pretty happy.

($60-80k is upper end around here. Elsevier once offered me $100k to work on site in Dayton - apparently they have trouble finding smart people who don't hate them - but I was already up to $120k and working from home at the time.)

My rate when I quit freelancing full-time was $125/hr, mostly working for companies in bigger cities. I'd charge more than that today, and probably switch to a daily or weekly rate.
Cryptocurrency gets a lot of hate on HN, justified or not.

I put money into crypto, but I look at it like gambling. Would you spend that same money on lottery tickets? If not then you probably shouldn't put it into CC.

Yes, people have made huge gains. I'm sure there is some sort of science to playing the market, but right now it seems all speculation and memes.

If you have money to burn, believe in the technology, and aren't afraid to let your money sit in a wallet somewhere for years and year - don't buy into it.

It's a gamble, not an investment. There's no security, nothing to back it, and if some other blockchain-esque tech or fad comes along it could be dumped at a moments notice.

Also - wait to put money into BTC until after aug 1st. There's a chance it could split and whatever you have now isn't guaranteed to be there after.
How is this information useful for LinkedIn?

Calling "Insider gets the master private key list, steals all the bounties" as the way this turns out.
Beyond just hacking into Custos and stealing them or Custos using a somehow predictable keygen (not even sure that's really a thing?), in doing that they'd be tracking down all the leaks which is exactly what Custos and their customers are wanting.

In reality only a few screeners seem to leak for any given movie.
You don't need STUN or TURN so long as you can be certain that your devices can talk to each other directly (without NAT punching or tunnelling). They exist because it's generally impossible to create peer-to-peer connections over the internet, unfortunately. Luckily, it's not difficult to set them up - [coturn](https://github.com/coturn/coturn) is a decent implementation. The major downside is that you're going to be paying for the bandwidth of anyone who can't make a direct connection.

The signalling server, though, just copies information about each peer to the other. Technically, you could transfer it any way you like - by carrier pigeon or through js-libp2p.
In my experience managers tend to have their hands tied as to what they can offer. You may get 3% if you ask for a raise. Companies tend to give managers more options when they are trying to keep an employee from jumping ship. This is all from my time with megacorps though.
