It absolutely was, though. For the Bible, at least, including, in the Bible, Jesus specifically (it's not like we have independent contemporaneous authority besides the Bible on what Jesus said or believed.)

The only way you can get a raise really right now is to quit your job and find a new job that's willing to pay you more.

This has been happening for quite some time you can blame neoliberalism or you can blame CEO's who earn more. There's some truth to every lie.

So yes you will get a lot of jobs; and quit a lot of jobs. It sucks; it stinks; I remember when I was making 13$/hr and excited. It may not excite you but it should pay the bills.

You're being downvoted because it is a real thing.

Even US citizens can be strongly encouraged (with threat of detainment) to turn over their electronic devices and surrender their passwords when crossing the border -- and remember, "the border" is legally defined as any location within 100 miles of a point of entry.

I've found that washing the Yubikeys, especially if they are on a keychain, can be helpful. Soap and water, and then let it dry thoroughly before using it again. The theory here is that build up on the contacts make them not able to conduct as well, and so touches aren't detected. It worked for, YMMV.
I don't know if I'm just unlucky, but most of the (Seattle) startups I know have a heavy drinking culture, and have alcohol at the office, so it's literally true, and perhaps used as a proxy for "will this person regularly stay late at the office (because they want to drink, and will end up doing extra work, too)".

And at that point, you've pretty much acknowledged that a true flat tax is unfair and regressive, and now we're just arguing over how many tax brackets there should be. You want there to be 1 but propose 2 with no argument for why 2 is the optimal number. While I agree that there is marginal complexity with each one, that only affects people who do their own taxes by hand. Structure it so that most people are covered by the bottom 4, say, and I have no problem with a dozen or more.

> Jesus had that whole "let he without sin cast the first stone" thing or whatever it was

That didn't contradict eternal punishment in Hell for unrepentant sinners, it was just one of many ways Jesus conveyed the message of “stop usurping God's role by judging and punishing everyone else's sins—which is a sin itself—and focus on stopping and atoning for yours, because it's the right thing to do and, also, eternal hellfire.”
How Your Project Will Take a Leap with Test-Driven Development
I know, but now anyone can:

* Inject a cryptocurrency miner JavaScript into your page during the transmission of your static HTML page to your clients, without you or your users knowing it [1]

* Injecting explicit, illegal image material that would get your clients immediately in legal trouble for possession of such material, without you knowing

* Injecting a JS snippet that, instead of your site's contents, shows a fake antivirus page, telling the clients that your site is malicious and that a threat was eliminated by Fake Antivirus 10.0 and that they should immediately call Microsoft Support (Phone number in Bangladesh) for further "assistance". There they're told they need to get a full cleaning of the hard drive for only 99$ and are asked for their CC number

The point is: If you don't have end-to-end-encryption, you can never be sure what your users see. They might see your site - or some slightly modified version of your site, with a login box, phishing passwords from your users, abusing their trust in your brand.

A MITM has nothing to do with someone gaining access to your server. It's someone gaining access to infrastructure - a vulnerable public wifi, for instance.

I think this is very dependent on how you find your news stories. In Apple News today I see 6 Syria stories. These are from very mainstream news outlets too: CNN, the Guardian, Reuters, Wired.

In Google News (different device) I see stories about Yemen in the past day from USA Today, Reuters, the Guardian, the Irish Times, the Washington Post, and the New York Times. Most appear to mention the school bus bombing.

I admittedly don't know what makes the front page of printed news or goes into heavy rotation on TV news. I've been using news aggregators instead of any one publisher for a decade+.
Well said @curo, thank you.
> "pay based on value to the business"

How is this computed? Since almost no programmers have collective bargaining agreements, in practice this seems to mean simply "who can negotiate the best".

Frankly, I think I'd rather the industry mature enough that we can be interchangeable cogs. Then we wouldn't spend so much time arguing about meaningless trivia like programming languages or coding style.

You are conflating what SSH does with what the terminal you're running it in does. SSH barely knows what terminal emulation is. You can literally pipe binary data into it at one end and receive that data into a program at the other end. That's what programs like scp and rsync do. They launch ssh and use it as a data channel.

> When I hear 'ceramic' I think of 'brittle, fragile' materials

You might be surprised to find out that the best body armor today - NIJ level IV (and similar standards in other countries), the kind that can stop armor-piercing bullets - is made either entirely of ceramic, or (lately) is a ceramic/polyethylene laminate.

Side note: you probably wouldn't expect polyethylene show up in this context either - the one used is ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, and much like ceramics used, it's pretty different from our "common sense" perception of the material.

As far as fragility of such ceramics, this is a topic that comes up often enough to spawn an obligatory "will it ...?" genre on YouTube. So you can watch something like this, and judge for yourself:

The complexity of the formula generating the lookup table doesn't affect the users of the lookup table, so I disagree: number of brackets has no meaningful effect on complexity of manual preparation.

I see your point - but don't you find it kinda charming? It's a bit like drinking tea in a china cup, or eating a scone with clotted cream.

I think there is probably a lot of room for improvement in the terminal world, and I agree that a lot of the really old stuff makes things a bit counter-intuitive, but for whatever reason, it seems that people who make really good software also tend to be the people who are pretty fanatical about backwards compatibility. Consider vim, for instance.

In the end, I think the basic model of interoperable, small programs that manipulate streams of text is really good - so people will put up with any number of weird rituals to live in that model. It's also very humble, and very unexciting, so it's the kind of thing that's hard to get people hyped about. So it probably filters by the people that like old things.
Interesting, I went through the exact opposite. I think I like the "tuh" pronunciation better because "too" sounds too much like "two". That can confuse people since tupples could be any size.

You actually have to convince a judge that's appropriate. And the court has a wide variety of tools at it's disposal to reach an equitable decision. From telling the petitioner to get stuffed all the way to telling the creditors to get stuffed.

Ask HN: Should I put my portfolio and blog under my real name, or a Psuedonym?
I’m a software engineer (mostly frontend webdev) currently employed at a job I really like. While I’m not currently job searching, I would like to create a “brand”, or at least a web presence for myself in order to network and/or make it easier should the necessity arise. I've also started doing more side projects, and I'd like to show them off.

The catch is that some of the side projects I enjoy creating tend to border on the “unprofessional”. Not at all offensive or rude, just… silly, maybe a little satirical (in the vein of things like Obnoxious.css, or https://thebestmotherfucking.website/). My work is high quality, but I’m worried that a few “silly” projects might make it harder to find a job, especially if I’m looking for a more senior role.

Questions:

1. Is it possible I am overthinking this?

2. Would it make sense to publish under a pseudonym? I feel like this would give me the ability to network and showcase my skills while being selective about who I show my public portfolio to.

3. Do you have a web presence? Did it ever help or hurt your job search?

Thanks!

A potential solution is HECS here in Australia for university.

It's a government loan that anyone who goes to a HELP approved course can obtain (nearly all proper university courses) and it gets taxed out of your future earnings, and is indexed at (almost) CPI (e.g. this year it was indexed at 2%).

There is still argument here on whether it should be free (University used to be free in Australia) or a higher rate of repayment (the government tried to index it at the bond rate which would make it an indefinite tax on a high proportion of those with HECS debts...) but it does work in the sense that it doesn't drive anyone into the ground and allows anyone with high enough marks to go to uni without worrying about course fees - and it still will eventually be repaid.

Can someone with better knowledge on these areas than I tell me why a loan system like HECS would or wouldn't work in the US?
Not sure what there is to talk about here: TLDP has been essentially dead for many years, unfortunately (exactly one document was updated in 2015; one was updated in 2014; ..). It was a fantastic resource back in the day (I wrote one of many HOWTOs), but lost any relevance at least a decade ago.
Okay, sure, that sounds like a legit use case.

Maybe you should use that on your site instead of examples like "Presidential Election 2020" or "place the station near a university to get insights from academic people", which are clearly not going to yield sound, actionable results.

I've always had high-deductible insurance and for many years I specifically had allergists write me prescriptions for generic Adrenaclick. I've been to Rite Aid, Walgreens, Target, and CVS and they always magically fill it with a name brand Epi-pen. The pharmacy techs always refuse to fix it saying they can only fill it with the brand name. I have to insist on speaking to the actual pharmacist who apologizes, corrects the issue, and explains to the pharmacy tech how it works.

My physicians are writing the prescription properly. One year out of frustration I made my doctor actually write "Adrenaclick" and "may substitute with generic" and they still filled it with an Epi and the tech tried to argue with me that "Adrenaclick" was another word for "Name brand Epi-pen"

Last 2 years my allergist let me know Auvi-Q will give you them for free as long as you have any commercial insurance. They submitted the paperwork, I answered one call confirming my address and I got four Auvi-Q injectors in the mail the next day. Glad I didn't have to pay $100+ and argue at the pharmacy.

Pretty much all those points apply with electronic voting too.

With electronic voting I pretty much lose the ability to verify my vote wasn't changed. With paper I can achieve a high level of confidence that a significant number of votes didn't get changed as lots of people with opposing interests are watching each other.

With electronic voting:

- I can't read the code since it's likely closed source (and not many people can read code)

- Even if it's open source I can't verify that the code I verified is running the code I verified. A USB port is a security risk, any printout can be forged and finally I certainly wouldn't be allowed to inspect the machine's insides. And this is ignoring all the other code on the machine in stuff like the touch screen controller etc.

- So given that the code is a blackbox, I can't verify that my vote hasn't been changed silently, especially since the crypto token I'm given doesn't allow me to verify my vote.

Whereas, with paper ballots, the average person is able to understand the risks and be able to mitigate them. Especially, since you'll have people with opposing votes trying to find the other side cheat.

Elections are too important and people are motivated to try and hack them, since the likelihood of getting caught hacking is much smaller than the massive effort you'd need to materially affect a paper ballot.

One of the big plot holes of the Star Trek universe is that money and bartering would ever go away (they ended up back tracking in a major way on this) or that anything like the Federation would ever be as benevolent or magnanimous as it is portrayed.

That is, I don't think taking corporations or greed out of it will make the tech better. People are people, whether they report to the Minister of Stuff or the Chief Whatever Officer.
Bull. Student loans did not become non-dischargeable until the mid-2000’s; and before that plenty of people got loans and there was no epidemic of graduates immediately declaring bankruptcy. You’re spouting propaganda talking points from predatory lenders.
> This is a fine idea, but you have to recognize that this just means approximately no one gets student loans (and those who do get them don't need them).

The vast majority of student loan loans are issued by the federal government since private lenders are cut out of the federally-guaranteed Stafford loan program, so changing rules on discharge won't meaningfully effect loan issuance without some other federal policy change.

> Think about it: if you come out of college with, say, $20k of debt (granting that this might bring down prices) and no assets, bankruptcy is a very tempting option.

So make them hard, as they are now, to discharge for some period of years after they would regularly first enter repayment, and then subject to discharge like normal unsecured debt.

Or, just eliminate the federal student loan program and special bankruptcy treatment of student loans in favor of robust federal need-based and public-service-based grants.
Concerning Facebook and Google specifically, what makes them “impossible to live without”? That would be very surprising considering I (and many others) don’t use them.
