Yes, I once did a consulting project in Kuwait (considered one of the better places in the region) and they wanted me to consider joining as an employee. I talked to someone I knew in HR in another company over there regarding how much could I angle for and whether it was a good idea.

He told me that for the exact same job if a Kuwaiti (or American (because liberators)) would be paid $100, another white guy would be paid $70, and as an Indian I could expect $30 or so. He told me I could negotiate a bit more because I have a PhD from US but not that much. This would still have been several times what I would make in India. I declined.
I love this concept when you are dealing with a blog that has posts and comments, or a todo app.

However..in my experiences thus far, this type of cohesion becomes increasingly complex and open to individual interpretation when you are dealing with more complex business domains. Say for example, several different types of customers engaging in several different types of transactions that have just enough differences in implementation to be several distinct models. Often there are several reasonable ways to interpret "functionality", and you end up with a situation where you are actively building what can be a fairly tricky form of technical debt over the course of years as developers come and go. From what I have experienced, the best way to avoid this, is of course more formality on the development team about structuring what goes where, but then you just end up with a different but still just as rigidly enforced structure as the first example from this article. It also has the downside of being non-standardized.

If I were going into some creature's "house", when they may very well be an alien creature whose domain and existence I understand little of, I personally feel most safe in the house that had the more "absurd" structure. I may have to walk down a few more hallways, but I won't blast myself with a ray gun looking for a faucet.
I wonder how much of that cleverness will be gleaned and appropriated by those who design 3 dimensional chips.
I guess the point is to install this on some random server somewhere that you can then SSH to. It really does seem like a good way to have a speedy browser experience over even insanely slow network connections.

Yes. Also:

> Tucows will continue to ensure that those with legitimate purposes, including law enforcement, intellectual property, and commercial litigation interests will have access to domain registrant information. On a daily basis, we see plenty of important circumstances wherein we find sharing that information to be legally necessary, and this will not change. We collect a contact for the owner of each domain name sold on our platforms, and have the ability to contact the owner. When necessary, we also share that contact with law enforcement and others with a legitimate interest.

So there's no loss of data access for those with legal right to it. It's just that there's no free public access.
Thanks for this. I used to do yt> (for html, for example) but that would yank one extra character. This is very useful!
I'm looking at: https://haveibeenpwned.com/

I see a link below the search box, which when I click explains he has "partnered" with 1Password, why, and why he liked it prior to the partnership. It also links to this:

https://www.troyhunt.com/have-i-been-pwned-is-now-partnering...

which has a lot more detail.

That's not what I call "without any disclosure". And makes me wonder what your idea of "disclosure" would be.
Is this legal ? And how do we know if there is such thing ?
Can someone explain the usecase for Text-based browsers? While they're fun to show off to my non-tech friends when running without X11 and looking like a hacker, I've never needed one.
The latest version of links does support SNI.

I use several clients that do not support SNI and one workaround is to connect through a program that does support it, e.g. haproxy, socat, etc.

Privacy/censorship conscious users may dislike SNI, SSL/TLS implementors are now trying to "fix" it, and in fact most SSL/TLS-enabled websites do not require SNI to be sent (popular browsers send it anyway). If requested, I can post stats on whether SNI is required for any list of websites. I have already done this a couple of times with the list all sites currently posted on HN: only a minority require SNI.
How is this different from Enigma, https://enigma.co, which originated at MIT a few years back and did an ICO last year? Enigma already has TEE (they have Intel partnership for that) and sMPC is coming up.
The Register had an item about this recently [0]. If you read the whole thing and follow the links to the earlier articles it's somewhere in the uncanny valley between fascinating and horrifying. ICANN is a deeply conflicted organization. Basically they have been on notice about this since 2003 and have done nothing. As of now, they don't have a plan to resolve this. ICANN and any registrar with EU customers providing the whois service are non-compliant with the GDPR. So the EU based registrars have stopped and ICANN is sueing to force them to continue.

eta: One of the big reasons ICANN can't do the sensible thing and just discontinue whois is that it is heavily influenced by the big copyright corporations who presently can start enforcement against a domain by lookup in whois. Once whois is gone they will have to use legal process to compel registrars to reveal the identity of domain owners.

> Seriously? I can't work out what possible advantage you might think this has. There is no situation where a lower DPI monitor is better than a higher DPI one

My primary reason is that i just like the way it looks. However it has a few practical advantages, one being that it is very fast when it comes to 3D games (which i play a lot) and while i could lower the resolution, that would end up creating ugly image quality from the upscaling. Also i do graphics myself and being able to clearly see the pixels (note that i do not just have a low DPI monitor, i have a 27" 1080p monitor where you can clearly see the pixels) has helped me many times spot tiny issues i'd miss at a higher dpi. I also use a lot of programs that are not DPI aware (especially older programs, but several new programs do that too) and in any hidpi monitor they look either blurry (from compositor scaling - i should also add that i dislike compositors here and disable them/do not run them when i can, but that is another topic) or everything is tiny.

> so I'm guessing you've probably never used a high resolution screen and just don't know what you're missing

I have used a high resolution screen at my previous work, specifically a 4K monitor which was around 30". It wasn't on my own computer but i got to use it a bit and wasn't a bit fan of it - yes, the image was crisp when it was running in full resolution but that was the only positive you could say. Every 3D program was very slow and most GUI programs had issues and glitches, so we almost always ran it at half resolution (which made everything blurry).

> Or are there many people out there who think like this?

I don't really know, i do not tend to act out of what everyone else is doing - at least not intentionally :-P. A friend of mine also has a 27" 1080p monitor and he has told me that the two main reasons are that he likes "looking at the pixels" and that he gets better performance in games with it.

FWIW i also have a 1440p 27" monitor (and supposedly a good one, Dell U2713HM), but it sits in the corner collecting dust (until the end of the month when i'll send it to a relative who wanted it) for a couple of years now, so it isn't like i do not have the option for higher resolution - i just do not like it.
How about simply allowing conversation to just happen? Would you like it if I told you how you were to speak out in public?

It's the GOLDEN RULE. Something you seem to have forgotten in its entirety. You're literally trying to treat someone as if you were their parent. You shouldn't be surprised to find people like me stepping up since you've already coerced people into cowering down.
You're absolutely right. Probably my estimate of "anything greater than 1TB" was not quite the right number. At that point, though, careful indexing is probably the more expert option. It's easy to throw data into EMR now if you're not super concerned about performance/cost, and it doesn't require you to think through how your data will need to be indexed to support your future needs.
Yes, at that point you typically get to apply far reaching architectural changes or switch out the algorithm.

Sometimes it is quicker to start with just that instead of "polishing a turd". You can get it to be shiny but still nowhere near as shiny as gold.

Hope the code is testable and reasonably easy to modify. Otherwise it's going to be a rewrite.

The profile is then useful as a benchmark on real data. If you have enough time, you can turn that into a high level performance test.
I appreciate your response. I guess my post was made out of desperation and previously I was unable to find what I needed looking through those threads. In any case, I am going to look again. Again, I appreciate your response.
Do services for other crypto companies count? If so, there are some, along the lines of helping creating tokens, validating code security, building wallets, and of course helping with the ico process.
Password managers across devices:

Either use a service that syncs up to a server, or a standalone apps and save its encrypted database to a shared filesystem such as Dropbox or pcloud.
Also in the past, the Saudi government has threatened to nationalize the then Arabian American Oil Co. (or Aramco) [1] company. At the time it was an American company and this forced the company to share profits with the kingdom. It will not be good if history repeats itself and government threatens to rob your property

GraphQL with NodeJs: From Beginner to Advanced Concepts
> If Google disappeared tomorrow nothing would be tragically different after a year or so of adjustment.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Google Search and Google Maps disappearing would be mildly annoying, but people would adjust. But if GMail and Google Docs (both personal and business GSuite versions) were to suddenly shut off, I dread the impact it would have on the economy. It would seriously disrupt many, if not most, small companies in very many places around the world. The extent to which people depend on Google for their data is just scary. Whatever technical literacy a typical person might have gained in the desktop era, we're losing it again in the mobile era.

You're probably right. I'm thinking of specific coworkers when I think of the level of knowledge that should be expected, and generally the standard I would hold coworkers to would include understanding this. But it is probably not as widely understood as I would hope.

Why does half the world think they taste good and the other half thinks they don't? They must be fine... Right?
We aim to have the customers easily switch between snark and mining. Given that the rewards for mining on platforms such as Bitcoin half every 4 years, the mining incentives go down and tips become the popular form of earning. The evolution of this is not well understood but tips might not exceed the average size of transactions, of which we're on the better side.
If you’re not bother by efficiency then why not consider a hub gear system?
Not to be pedantic but does it really qualify as a heat wave? Essentially the whole planet (with a few exceptions) is 2-3 F hotter than the last 100 year avg and the 3-4 highest month ever measured. This is really just new normal temperatures in a continuing upward trend.
Arguably, the part about tasting bad is purely a human concern, but ecological destruction is a possibly real problem, if left unchecked.
> It's much easier to make a scooter or a bicycle autonomous than a car.

No it's not. Less stable platform. Exact same issues with obstacle detection and avoiance, path planning and scene understanding with less available power for sensors and compute. Higher relative sensor cost. Fewer closed environments like highways. Added issue of being able to steal them more easily.
Users go for usability features first, with an OS that is good enough. Good looks second. They can tolerate a few weirdness and quirks as long as they can get the job done without cursing the thing.
They will even tolerate non critical crashes sometimes (no or little data loss).

OpenBSD is not bug free at all, it is just security oriented in the implementation.

Windows got traction because it has even better hardware support, a bunch of backroom OEM deals and nice UI features (at the time of 95), then went far on software availability.

I do not suggest anything, my post was to explain that you (that is a "royal you") do not always need all the features you wrote. For example you write that you want your users to use your programs in their language, but most often that does not require Unicode - people did it before Unicode was a thing. It is just that Unicode makes it easier.

My post was an example of someone who doesn't need any of the stuff you mentioned and from my perspective these are just adding bloat since i wont use them. This isn't a recommendation or anything like that.

If you consider people being able to use your programs in their language and consider it a good thing to do, a toolkit that provides that feature will do fine for your case.
The Foxconn manufacturing factories in China are NOT sweatshops, not even close. My hometown (Zhengzhou) has one of its biggest factory, and for people who have no higher education (like straight out of highschool), it's a super competitive job. People literally bribe to get in. Sure, it's still a soul-draining blue collar job, but they follow laws (for an enterprise in Foxconn's scale, they are strictly supervised by the government and the media. The smaller companies on the other hand, are actually more likely to be sweatshops), they follow schedules, provide food and dorms, and a good enough salary by local's standard of living. What else do you expect for a low-skill entry-level jobs, in a developing country?

Calling hard-working people in developing country (my homeland) "slaves" just because they don't get paid the same as Americans is one of the most hypocritical thing I am really tired to hear on Western forums.
Yes. Based on that photo, I can't imaging that the set of ring gears could be rigid enough. Unless it was inside a strong casing. As in standard differentials.

This results in funny things like android support library.
The Amdahl's law applies here also, if your code is slow everywhere, making the slowest part faster isn't going to help much, so there needs to be some basic minimal consideration given the performance throughout the project.
Or better yet, have well performing default ways of doing things and avoid badly performing ways.

In worst case failing to do that will require write entire project from scratch because basic data structures and structure of code is antithesis for performance and there is not a point that you can optimize.
A reasonable default is using vectors over linked lists.
A more complex choice is using struct of vectors rather than vector of structs. And neither of those choices are easy to do for data structures that really matter late in the project.

Did you try to find attackers in the set of unconspicious UAs? If you did not try hard to look for more skilled adversaries, expect some to be hiding from your analysis. Once you don't see anything in a large range of skill/sophistication, you can assume there to be no adversaries that don't have the ability to pull a Stuxnet off. And if you need to guard against those, and have the ressources to do so, you already know this.
> The money is more important to them than the ethics.

This is a problem in every country. There's nothing unique about China in that respect. Unethical people will tend behave unethically when money is on the line.

Maybe the cover-ups are done in order to save face, or because some particular agent in the department responsible is getting kickbacks. The CCP as a whole does benefits from the first, not the second.
Thanks!

I mean I hate to sound judgmental, but
"that fewer than one in five infants are breastfed for 12 months in high-income
countries; "

I've tried to encourage people to breastfeed, it isn't well received though.

"Acknowledging that achievement of the WHO global target to increase to at least 50% the
proportion of infants under 6 months of age who are exclusively breastfed by 2025 requires sustainable and adequate technical and financial resources, and supportive and protective policy and
regulatory interventions as well as political will, and that this needs to be part of broader efforts to
strengthen health systems;"

Yah, definitely an attack on the "formula" industry, along with the conflict of interest verbiage, but the mothers I've talked to don't care or can't breastfeed anyway, get mad at them? We are gonna start telling women what to do with their bodies now?!?

I mean I get it, the benefits are very real to the kid, just wondering what politician has the cajones to tell women to start breastfeeding more.
ImGui is quite similar to MS-DOS game UIs, before we migrated to Windows.

>Wind: 10.6%

That is quite amazing. I don't see lots of Wind Farm around UK when I live there, ( although that was quite some time ago ) That means UK are well within reach of 100% running on renewable energy.
The missing part is "make it workable". By that I mean reasonably easy to modify. This may or may not involve simplicity but usually involves modularity and lack of hard impingement interdependencies - weak coupling.

If you skip that, you will relatively quickly reach the point of a full rewrite.
I agree with your first two points. It's definitely possible to efficiently process quite a bit of data on a single machine, although I think that past a terabyte, there begin to be strong arguments to a distributed approach even if you can theoretically handle it on one machine (scalability if requirements change, resilience to machine failures, etc.).

I still disagree about the article itself (even outside of the conclusion), but perhaps I am reading it uncharitably and other people are not getting the same impression. I do feel that it would be easy for someone who is not very familiar with these technologies to get the wrong impression. Misusage does probably go mainly in the other direction (of people overusing Hadoop rather than underusing), though, so maybe that is not so important a concern.
"Fast automatic Futhark-Python FFI" and the REPL improvements sound like big improvements.

Private companies/startups are still doing options.

And options are worthless. My employee recently loaded all employee stock options / holdings into a stock trading/tracking system and as soon as the FMV from the latest 409a was loaded in people flipped their shit. Turns out that no, joining a nearly decade old private company with limited stock options and a "mature" FMV isn't going to make you millions of dollars. Especially when you're going to be spending five figgies to exercise.

Yes, I know there are many airports. This is about starting from "The next road with sufficiently little traffic that has suitable clearance and curvature to start from", and maybe something like folding wings inwards or so to get it small enough for maneuvering it as a large car.
Perhaps after some years, that percentage will increase to "life changing" level. It all boils down to the motivation of the folks who has the means to make the change.
Show HN: To the crazy ones, the misfits
> we already have consumer bicycle gears that deliver 97% efficiency: a Dura Ace groupset is expensive compared to the stuff you'll get at Wall-Mart, but they're sold at pretty much every cycling store. I wouldn't be surprised if the Ultegra and 105 (Shimano's next two groupsets by price) were nearly as efficient as well.

There isn't really much difference in efficiency with price in group sets until you get into the really bad cheap stuff. Most of the differences are cosmetic or ergonomic and status related. Chains and bearing and cogs are the only items that affect efficiency and they are all pretty good. Good chain line and proper maintenance and lubrication make more of a difference.

Internal hubs are slightly less efficient overall and this depends a lot on the internal design and which gears are in use. But even these are something like 94% - 97% efficient.

Shaft drives have been the "next thing" since the end of the 19th century but have never managed to combine reliability and efficiency well. I doubt an exposed mesh 90 degree gear set with what look like teeny tiny exposed ball bearings are going to be as efficient after a good splash of water laden with brake dust and road grit. It might work if they enclose the whole system.

If you are making $200k in Texas, you can afford to buy a 3,500 sq.ft. house with a pool on a half-acre+ lot with AC and a 2-car garage for, say, $400k, maybe less.

In CA, you would pay well over $2MM for that same house anywhere within an hour’s drive in rush hour from either SF or Silicon Valley. Anywhere north of Sunnyvale, that house will run you a minimum of $3 million.
