That seems totally reasonable (and I don’t see your sharing some experience as bragging).

I guess my point is that high salaries aren’t limited to .NET and Java jobs. I guess I’d also challenge the idea that a Ruby job paying $100k+ doesn’t “pay well” (outside of SV anyway). Fast food doesn’t pay well. Working in the higher levels of tech absolutely does. My very first job was working the drive thru at a Taco Bell, and it still blows my mind when I think about how much I make now... (also not bragging, just trying to add some perspective).
That doesn't use true colour escape codes though so you can at least redefine the colour palette in your terminal. eg:

That said, it uses the "intense" palette which seems odd considering the regular colours would have sufficed.

Instead of disparaging anecdotes (which are worth something, actually), can you simply provide data that supersedes it?
If you are using SMS based 2FA, understand the risk:. "Already having our primary access points for code and infrastructure behind strong authentication requiring two factor authentication (2FA), we learned that SMS-based authentication is not nearly as secure as we would hope, and the main attack was via SMS intercept. We point this out to encourage everyone here to move to token-based 2FA."
You are confusing one particular data set with actual documentation of a database schema. Your notion of what "well documented" is seems to be an extraordinarily low bar, given that you apply it to the case where there is no doco at all.
Are you trying to bury your head in the sand?

My situation is probably drastically determined by some stranger 200 years ago who decided hopping in a pile of potatoes on barge headed for the US was a good idea. Thank you distant relative, that was a genius idea!

The point isn't to act like people aren't responsible for their own actions, of course they are. The point is to be realistic about how much of our situations are attributable to our personal decision making. People don't exist in small vacuums where they control everything.
False alarm. Turns out we've already replaced them with underpaid immigrant labor instead.
In other words, legally redistribute wealth from the rich to the poor. Not saying there’s anything wrong with that, but that’s what this program is.
Yes, this is unfortunately pretty lazy research used to push an agenda.

Related to that, the main claim: the 40% reduction in crime (no link, why?) is in Namibia. Is there anything about Namibia which makes it different from a developed economy like the US?

I know it comes off as pedantic to complain about such stuff, but there's gotta be higher standards for evidence, otherwise you don't really trust your own argument.

If any of you managed to get near DC I recommend checking out his library at the LoC: https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/thomas-jeffersons-library/. Despite it's age it's very fascinating. You can learn a lot about a man by his books.
I've always thought there should be an essential basics program, where you can always receive an adequate amount of flour, rice, beans, corn, and other basic foodstuffs to survive. I'd also add toothpaste, soap, and other sanitary items.

We can still have food stamp programs that allow people to spend as they please, but the guaranteed floor ensures literally no one need go hungry.

Sticking to basics keeps the costs far lower than trying to subsidize processed foods, and the extent we susbsidize our farmers also subsidizes the program.
You don't need ss7 0days.

One one hand it's hilariously insecure to begin with, especially now lots of it gets trucked over the internet. On the other hand, there's a number of companies selling access and associated services for trivial amounts of money.
I agree. govs are not trusted because public knowledge is broken. I believe we have to fix it. Also, I think inequality must be kept under control (taxes?) to protect democracy from private hands with too much capital. But taxes are useful only when public knowledge is fixed. When gov is transparent and trusted.
You are trying to use a universal solution to a specific problem. Furthermore, visible homelessness is often a presenting symptom of other, non-homelessness problems. Look no further than San Fransisco or Seattle for how little throwing money at something will change the outcome.

Or, look at the education system in Washington DC- highest expenditure per pupil, with sub-par results.

Giving everyone for an undefined, but definitely finte, period a lump sum of cash will certainly help a small number of people. Others will not leverage the windfall and will once again be destitute when the charity ends.

What do we do then? I would rather have a more systematic solution [edit: set of solutions] to help people whenever they are in need, rather than a blanket solution.

Some arguments I've seen boil down to "well, let's do both!" at which point all they are arguing for is sticking with the same broken system, but throwing more money on top of it. It doesn't change the fact that what we have isn't working, and isn't going to be solved by further crippling the middle class (since "the rich" typically adjust income strategies whenever taxes change, they're not going to be affected in the way "tax the rich" folk expect).

Well, too late, they've bought it now. WhatsApp is just Facebook itself.
> Having 5+ children when you have no resources...

Isn't that surprising; globally, number of children goes down with both prosperity and, even controlling for prosperity, strength of social safety nets (a common explanation for the latter being that with no or weak public safety net, your children are your old-age social safety net.)

The US has been proudly dismantling it's social safety net since the 1990s, and it already was notoriously weak for the developed world. Simultaneously, access to birth control and abortion is also under perennial assault, and even where access is maintained, well-funded shame campaigns are directed against both.

Strangely, the people backing all of those efforts are also the ones that complain the most about poor people having too many kids. And do so under the banner of “personal responsibility”, without any hint of intentional irony.
And this is where you drop in the links to prove these programs aren't working.

BTW, one data point holds more value than zero.
Moving money from rich people to people much more likely to spend it rather than hoard it should result in a significant GDP boost.
so I guess, one way to put it, is to look at the Traveling Salesman Problem?

The decision problem asks “given a set of cities is there a tour shorter than length n?”. This is NP-Complete.

However the pop culture version of the problem is “given a set of cities, what is a tour of the shortest possible length?”. This would be the PPAD-complete version of the problem, since that solution does exist, it’s just unknown and not known to be tractable within polynomial time?

Can the Nash Equilibrium problem have a decision version whose answer is either true or false?
Magnets were developed to alleviate segregation through social engineering. Underprivilege and at-risk tends to go hand in hand with these circumstances. In states where this was less of an issue they may have been adopted as a way to have an "elite" public school but that isn't their typical application.
Just to address the "also just compensates for current emissions" point--the way this tends to be thought of in the research is that, if you assume a completed Step 1 of "develop perfect carbon capture technology", Step 2 is "apply that solution to power plant smokestacks and fuel those power plants by burning and replanting trees / crop waste (corn stalks etc)". So you're not carbon negative on the capture process itself, but can be on the broader system by converting to a fuel source that regenerates through carbon capturing via photosynthesis.

This poses it's own problems though, one of which being the enormous amount of land you would need to dedicate to this process to have a meaningful impact.

Who are these non-technical people that you know that are not only using MFA but also know that SMS is insecure for MFA?

Rather than putting them down I'm happy they're willing to share and bring knowledge, that some communities already know, to even more people.
FundThrough | Principal Engineer / Architect | Toronto, ON | Fulltime, ONSITE preferred, remote maybe

The Company

We are a FinTech startup that just raised our Series A. We work with small businesses to help them take control of their cashflow.

We value experimentation, data and results over fixed plans and process. We're open to cutting edge technology when it's appropriate, or safe well-known technology when it's better.

The Role

We want someone who can take ownership of our system architecture, mentor our senior developers, and help us build a high quality application (along with all the infrastructure and things around it).

Responsibilities will include:

* defining (with the head of engineering) our architectural vision and creating a plan to get from here to there. This includes what technology we should be using

* implementing the non-functional things we need to support the application (logging, observability, deployment, etc)

* mentoring our engineering leads and helping them continue to level up their technical skills

Stack as of today: Ruby on Rails, Angular, Heroku

What we're looking for:
Someone with 10+ years of experience as a developer, who is on (and wants to stay on) a technical career path. You've worked in a startup, or built something from scratch in a big company. You understand what's required to have good software beyond features, and love to build it.

Contact me at matt+hnews@fundthrough.com for more details. This role is new, and not yet posted.
I love Huawei stuff - mostly their cellular modems, as you can use their voice features on FreeSWITCH thanks to the encoding they support

Lots of great items from Huawei, even if Xiaomi gets most of the press, and Huawei could be more "open"
There's a lot of emotional weight in the article, "The". A watch is an interesting thing from a functional perspective, technical perspective, an artistic perspective, and a broader historical perspective. But it's an implicit consignment to a relative definition. A watch is interesting amongst watches, perhaps. Comparable between watches. Valued according to the value of other watches.

However, when you can promote that A to a The, now the thing stands as an absolute in the course of history. The watch that Buzz Aldrin wore on the moon. The pen that signed the surrender of Japan. The Cullinan I Diamond that was cut with nine sibilings from the greatest raw stone ever discovered, and set in to St. Edward's Crown. The nature of the item itself becomes second to the story and the lineage associated with it, and its value ceases to be a function of what the thing does does, and becomes one of what it has done. Omega watches are interesting and technically impressive. But if a Seiko had gone to the moon on Buzz Aldrin's wrist, it would be worth just as much.
I thought BI was equal distribution across the population; how can you charge less than its value per person, and pay it off?

I'm not a fan of Python but the language is still in the top 5 with C#, Java, PHP and Ruby. It's very easy to get a job as a Python dev. People saying that Python is “legacy” have obviously no idea what they're talking about. They probably think C#, Java, PHP and Ruby are “legacy” too. :)
Last time I posted a link to that, I received quite a few replies where people find it more natural to use `cat file | …` even when unnecessary — so even though I agree with the intent of the page I feel like it's useless to try and evangelise every case. If cat is the bottleneck though, fair game.
I agree with your assessment on the difficulty of the problem. Where I differ is my (somewhat optimistic, admittedly) view that an existential climate crisis is the kind of exogenous shock needed to force humanity to cooperate against a "common enemy" so to speak.

We've had models before with the CFC / Montreal Treaty, and on a national scale with WW2, and the Sputnik / Apollo missions.

There are very few problems humanity cannot solve by coordinated effort. The trick is to force that coordination, and I don't see that happening in the near future.

Any utopia where you are constrained by the limits of the physical world suddenly looks a lot less peachy. That includes the vast majority of them because any physical construct is fundamentally constrained.

There's two main suggestions in science-fiction. Utility Fog and Uploading. The one with the hardest limits to reach is the second one. It has them all the same. Nevertheless, both allow for a degree of ability to disregard your world's limitations.

The awareness of incapacity due to physical or other limitations is part of normal disillusionment and disappointment with reality.

More variation will not lead to some magical environment that works for all. If one gets oneself modified to survive unaided on say... Mars or Europa, there's significant chances one is not easily compatible with other environments.

tl;dr physical reality sucks, virtualize all the things

What are those methods of production that will feed 8B people in a world that is 5 deg C warmer? I think you are just hand-waving around hard, unsolved, and possibly intractable problems.
> That seems not believable at all i'd like to see source for that, i find hard to believe Apple, Oracle and such companies that are very protective for their code to submitted to one of most copy past countries in the world.

The actual implementation is important here. Does the Chinese government require the companies send them a tarball or just the opportunity to inspect it on the companies terms?

If it's the latter, I can see all kind of companies complying. It's not unheard of to allow code inspection and auditing by setting up a secure PC with the code with all the USB ports epoxied shut and no network connection. The inspector using it can read and take notes, but the notes have to be reviewed and cleared by the company before they can be taken away.
I wouldn't necessarily call it "lazy research". It's imperfect, but there aren't exactly that many natural experiments in UBI that provide you great data. Sometimes you have to piece together insights from imperfect data.

hm, fair point, thx (although one could say docker images are also not very inspectable and yet they are popular)

Go supports Bignums, this is true. I love Go's interfaces, but it doesn't support constant time arithmetic for all of the operations[0]. Go also doesn't support all the curves we need (mainly secp256k1).

We also have a `Point` struct that hits the OpenSSL EC_POINT API. Go only supports constant time arithmetic for a few specific curves (also not secp256k1).

Yep; though the usual corollary is also that you'd cancel a bunch of other welfare programs -- that is: you're replacing benefits with UBI, not just tacking UBI on. (Not advocating for it; just saying that 70% of tax revenues makes it sound like you'd nearly double taxes to cover UBI, and that's not quite true.)
