It's not a way I can generally recommend, sorry. In that particular case the extra scrutiny meant I was in the first wave of layoffs, and they almost ruined my vacation doing it (I almost got word of the layoff right before heading off on a cruise), but I got a full severance unlike some of the following waves. The first wave was to make the quarter profits more appetizing for sale to new owners, and eventually over the next couple of years the new owners entirely laid off all software development in the region.

It seems preferable in retrospect to get a full severance and plenty of time to find the next role (even as stressful as that was in the moment) than to hang on for an ownership change and eventual layoff anyway. Some of my friends hung on and regretted it.

Anyway, like I said, that's not generally applicable to every situation, though. I hope you get some good luck or find a way to make the extra scrutiny work for you.

Sometimes that extra scrutiny means they care for you and want you to ultimately succeed (and may even depend on you succeeding) and you both need to work together to figure out how to make that happen. That was the case in a further previous role, though in that case that was mostly a sign to me that it wasn't going to work in the long term (a lot of my "bad" behavior were symptoms of stress and ethical anxiety), and I needed to move on.
- I have to start seperate small test and prototype projects every now and then.

- I have to include third party libraries occasionally, and sometimes weight if it wouldn't be just easier, faster and better for my mental health to reinvent the wheel instead.

- I have to check out, test or use third party projects every now and then. They all use different build systems, different ways to use different build systems and different work around to get around limitations of build systems.

I like C++11 and love C++17 but absolutely hate building and managing C++ projects. It's a mess.
Same here (I would pay, that is). I've been using SimpleNote for text notes since I switched to Linux, which seems to sync as well as Notes - but I really miss the simple sketching tools (and that great ruler!) for jotting down ideas on the train, and drag & drop images for "borrowing" ideas from the internet during the day.
What makes autoincrement unsuited for invoice numbers, and what would you recommend instead? (I'll admit to being one of those developers who hasn't thought long and hard about this, but I can't off the top of my head come up with any reasons why they would be a problem.)

A bit offtopic, but I wonder why he is of the opinion that devise is “terrible”, and what he has since used instead.
Well, from a technical standpoint, implementation bugs are unlikely to affect savings if you’re not transacting often, and consensus bugs can be fixed with a fork.

The exception would be simultaneous catastrophic breaks in ECDSA signatures and (assuming you’re not reusing adddresses) RIPEMD-160 and SHA256, which seems unlikely.

From a price perspective, yeah, the market could overreact.
Is this abnormal given their size? I remember similar articles about Facebook, Twitter and others.
so let's say you buy Bitcoin and instead of selling it back for a $ profit, you go onto Overstock and buying 10,000 worth of stuff.

Is buying stuff on Overstock using bitcoin a taxable event?
YouTube does actually have video categories that the uploader selects, although historically it has led to people mis-categorizing their videos on purpose.

For example, before gaming was a category that was embraced by YouTube, many popular gaming creators would categorize their videos under Comedy instead of Gaming, because the Gaming category did not have a spot on the front page. This also led to a fights between gaming YouTubers over mis-labelling under lesser used categories just to get the top spot and end up on the front page.

As far as I can tell the categories are as follows: Autos and Vehicles, Comedy, Education, Film & Animation, Gaming, Howto & Style, Music, News & Politics, Nonprofits & Activism, People & Blogs, Pets & Animals, Science & Technology, Sports, Travel & Events.

The only other factor I can think of with ReviewBrah is that he's often negatively reviewing products from huge companies (fast food chains) that might advertise on YouTube. Would Burger King want to run an ad before he reviews chicken fries or whatever?
The Sia team has really impressed me with their approach. They're the type of devs that keep quiet and just get the work done. No hype, no grandiose promises, just hard work and solving hard problems. I think that in the end they'll be the ones that come out ahead when it comes to decentralized storage.
It's $20k in any given transaction type.

So if you do a total of $20k in buys, or $20k in sells, or deposits, or withdrawals, you are targeted.

This is particuarly invasive for people running trading bots, which are likely to have very high transaction volumes but very low profit margins.

For this matter, how will you travel to meet the other person? Will you take a taxpayer-funded road? Will you take a plane monitored by taxpayer-funded air traffic controllers?

And how do you know the other person won't just shoot you and take your currency? Maybe it's because they're worried that the taxpayer-funded police and public prosecutors will go after them if they do that.
Some users are publishing the video as a private video first, get demonetized, ask for the review, the video is monetized again and user can publish it as a public video.

I couldn't understand the part about an employee and loosing my job. Are you saying that they won't be able to sell their equity even at a steep discount in 90 days? Even, if they incur a loss of ~30-40% over the current prevailing price; it would still be a fortune. They can easily do that to save on the tax or did you mean something else?
I'm surprised PHP hasn't had this for a while. Isn't PHP nearly 20 years old? Is it common for web languages to grow so old before they get crypto in the standard library?
Author here: we did not invest; nor are we invested in any of the competitor projects mentioned in the article.
I see two drawbacks to the technology:

1) data storage with trusted centrally controlled infrastructure will always be cheaper (probably much cheaper) because you need far more redundancy in an untrusted network and the centralized infrastructure has superior economies of scale.

2) Your (encrypted) data is public so you are relying on the platform having zero exploitable bugs ever, which is just not a smart assumption. For this reason alone I can't really see any serious person being willing to store their data on this network.
It is strange that private investors are willing to fund my discounted travel.
Yes and yes. However the government seems keen on making the tax situation worse, introducing new laws which tighten the noose every couple of years, so it's entirely possible that it will get bad in the next 5-10 years. Also, for non-British people, Brexit may make it make it hard/impossible to contract in the UK.
Or it's possible that people from those sources report his videos.

But my own videos get demonetized almost instantly and none of mine have weird referral links as far as I can tell.
> At which point...

They have more data than they do now for machine learning, and a better PR story.

i.e. uploaders can't be mad about the categories, because the categories are chosen by the uploader.

Uploaders can be mad about Youtube double-checking the categories and getting it wrong... which is less likely to happen if they have better data for machine learning.

What, exactly, is the down side of that?

Interesting - I hadn't known the history behind the term, I thought it was a neologism. I do prefer the term identity politics myself, but the tendency of right wing groups to call everyone they dislike communists doesn't appear to me any more ridiculous than the frequency with which they are called Nazis. There seems to be an effort in that camp to shift the Overton window to exclude communism with the same prejudice currently reserved for Nazism, and from that perspective 'baiting' the opposition into being too loose with either term is probably an effective strategy.

Ask HN: Do you use an API for parsing resumes?
I’m currently productising my master’s thesis into an API for parsing resumes (pulling info like contact details and work experience out of pdf/word and into structured json/xml).

If that’s something you’d be interested in or currently use then I’d be greatful for some feedback:

* For what do/would you use a resume-parsing service?

* Most important features you look for?

* Is there a need you have that isn’t met?

Thanks HN! If you'd like to chat more, my contact details are in my profile.
The PPS is just something you get when the GPS chipset has a lock, though (and sometimes when it doesn't, depending on how you have it configured). Most non-timekeeping GPS chipsets give you a PPS output for free, and 100% of timekeeping GPS chipsets give you one.

Pretty sure about 50ns. Datasheet for the Trimble Thunderbolt E: http://trl.trimble.com/docushare/dsweb/Get/Document-383329/0... ...second page, "PPS accuracy: 15ns (one sigma)" (I picked a larger number than the spec sheet simply so that hopefully nobody would go "oh, that's the ONE SIGMA value, lets argue".)

My Thunderbolt, in a completely temperature-uncontrolled environment with ~20 degree daily swings, generally has a PPS accuracy of ±45ns, in what is pretty crap conditions (first rule of precision timekeeping is "temperature stability")

I understand your point and yes it can be problematic in some countries, the solution is to not make business in the countries where local law contradicts most of the world and your believes. My opinion is that we should not give up on creating rules that help the consumer because some company will have a harder time, I understand is hard for a startup to build an airplane or a car because of safety regulation but those are necessary for the society at large. If EU will demand that your product comes with a warranty and US does not demand it you have the choice not to sell in EU or make a better product.
Back to software, as long as companies will find new ways to abuse the users the users will demand laws to get protected, the problem is the laws differ from country to country or appear later in other country, could the industry find a way to prevent the abuses to happen?

That's probably true - other languages benefit from learning from PHP's mistakes and requiring a framework to begin with to enforce a lot of the safety that PHP doesn't have out of the box, and that's not mentioning any safety that would come from the language itself.

People say PHP is a framework, but as a framework it's terrible enough that you still need a framework for the framework.

Right, superlative is not the right term. "Fastest" would be the superlative, and is not in use.

I'm in the UK, working at a university and I'm going to say, the conservatives do have something of a point, although they greatly exaggerate it.

Before the Brexit vote, I found it would offend many academics to even discuss that the vote might pass, and people might have legitimate greviences that would make them vote for Brexit.

Now, I'm personally against Brexit, but i think the main reason it passed was the "liberal elite" refused to even discuss with the people who wanted Brexit, so they they turned to the likes of UKIP, who would talk to them about the problems (and then lie to them, which is how we ended up in this Brexit mess).

I don't think this is really about free speech in the sense of the First Amendment. Universities are supposed to be about the pursuit of knowledge, and it's pretty unlikely that conservatives are wrong about everything and liberals are right about everything. Moreover, I don't think any reasonable person would say that any historical political party has ever been correct on every issue. So again it's quite unlikely that the present-day left is the first ever exception to that pattern.

You mentioned white supremacists, but I think you're focusing on a fringe and extreme element of the right in an attempt to discredit all right-leaning speakers. There are similarly fringe left-leaning speakers, and a lot of interesting, well-spoken, articulate folks in between, so I don't find this argument very compelling.
Sia is more legitimate. I don't own any Siacoin or Filecoin, but I would hold Siacoin if it was supported by the Ledger hardware wallet.
Yes, the #1 rule of IoT - if it doesn't have a solid LAN-only protocol, don't buy it. Anything relying on a single cloud service isn't worth your time or money. If you have LAN-only access it means not only that you'll have the ability to use it after the manufacturer goes away but also that you can always secure it by simply dropping it behind the appropriate NAT or firewall.

How is that “worse” though? This is free market at work. Energy being spent securing the bitcoin network will always correlate with value of bitcoin.

The end is existence of bitcoin as solution to fairly important problem of decentralized and censorship-resistant consensus mechanism over open ledger that everybody can transfer value within (and soon with convenient atomic swaps - across multiple chains). And that is just the lowest layer of operation.

Anybody claiming bitcoin mining is wasting energy assumes the solution to said problem is worthless or the problem doesn’t exist. Both of which I (and the market) disagree with.

As for whether there could be more “efficient” way to line bitcoins - this is irrelevant, because for every jump in efficiency there will be similar jump in mining difficulty by design.

>> If you buy at price X and sell at price Y, guess what, you owe taxes on Y-X. I don't understand how this is news to anyone.

First principal of TaxLaw: It is all income unless it isn't. It is always taxable unless you can find language in the code exempting it. I'd go a little further in saying that the taxable amount isn't "Y-X", ie the profit. The taxable amount is actually just Y, the sale price. Income is all money literally coming into you. You then need to find a deduction for X, the cost of purchasing the asset. Maybe you find one, or maybe you bought your bitcoins with cocaine and so owe on tax on the entire sale price. Or maybe you have already deducted that cost in a previous year and so cannot deduct it again now. Or maybe you traded your bitcoins for some other bitcoins last year, realized the gain then, and now have to start reviewing the like-kind exchange rules. (I'm in that 0,01% of people who actually enjoy tax law. It's actually very eloquent.)

Uber had $6.6bn on hand at the end of June [1]. That means they are down to $5.1bn.

Absent cost-cutting, that implies a 9 to 12 month runway. Even if SoftBank injects $1bn, that could only mean a few months’ runway. A large fine in the Waymo case [2] could literally bankrupt them.

Yes. The same applies to when you trade bitcoin for other cryptocurrencies. Although it is technically one transaction, if you want to be safe you should treat it as two separate transactions:

1. Selling the bitcoin for USD (this is taxable)

2. Using the USD to buy whatever it is you want.
