His voting record sold Saudi Arabia the bombs used to kill those children, and the attacks could only take place with US support.
Because his industry is not the only one, and he is just one (not even that big) fish among many. He could very well be unconventional and even anti-establishment.

I'm not saying that he is, but historically there are lots of examples of very rich and powerful people that have been anti-establishment and had fights with the regular elites or the state, etc.

> The other is ensuring the team is doing the right thing. The manager is in control of the team in this perspective.

This is what I consider to be the most important part of management. At a large company, you will have thousands of employees working on tons of different features and products and your job is to make sure everyone's incentives (usually through things like quarterly goals) are aligned to the most productive things while accounting for what everyone else will be working on.

I like to think of it as commanding a navy where individual contributors are rowers and managers are overseeing ships of various sizes (different products and features). The battle is constantly changing as some products fail while others are successes, new markets opportunities open up while others close, and good managers will monitor it all and rebalance/incentivize their workforce as necessary.

If you think this is not a coordinated effort than you are very naive.

It's worth pointing out what is actually happening here. This story about "massive internment camps" has been pushed relentlessly on HN for the past two weeks. There's been at least five stories on it.

Actual journalists investigated the story and proved quite clearly the story has been entirely fabricated [1].

Post the results of this story on HN and it is immediately flagged: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17846148

At this point I think it pretty fair to say there is a highly coordinated effort to push a wholly fake anti-China story.

> In reality, of course, it's neither: we're just trying to prevent HN from going up in nationalistic flames.

Somehow you think being "neutral" is the right strategy when one side is invested in a deliberate propaganda effort.

This is fundamentally a regulatory and economic problem. The exact challenge-response flow and physical artifacts/electronic credentials we use to assert identity and request access with change over time. Businesses are only motivated to prevent fraud if they will be liable for losses. They have managed to label it "identity theft," as if you forgot to lock up your bicycle, and give ironic post-breach advice to their customers like installing anti-virus software and not surrendering information to unsolicited callers.

Incentives need to be aligned. The Trump Administration cancelled the investigation into Equifax. Target's stock price barely budged. Regulations may not be a panacea as the OPM breach suggests. "Cyber insurance" is an interesting market. Ideally insurers would require best practices to be followed for policy issuance and claim payout. But that can lead to compliance box checking, and litigation/coverage struggles instead of actual security.
A good chunk of the appeal is the ecosystem.

Tieing 2fa directly to the phone is much better than tieing it to a phone number, until you don't control your phone. Then, how do you recover? You can't go down to the local Google (or whoever) kiosk, prove your identity, and get a new device added to 2fa, but you can get a new sim (downside, so can pretty much any carrier kiosk employee, or social engineer).

Also, phone numbers are pretty useful for contacting people, and most people have an address book with their friends and family and other important contacts. There's tremendous social value for people in those numbers continuing to work, to the extent possible. You're never going to be able to tell everyone who might want to know when your number changes, especially if you for a new number when yours was assigned to someone else.
Presumably if your relationship was extremely successful (if it were a business, it’d be making millions), then you’d be a fool to throw it away.
That doesn’t “solve the problem.” 92% of student debt is owed to the federal government. And the federal government originates almost all new student debt. The poor returns thus will accrue to the taxpayer. But unlike other investors, however, the government won’t stop making these “poor investments.” Big College has convinced everyone that access to student loans without consideration for credit risk is the solution to every ill from technological change to racial inequality.

It sounds like a very valid interpretation of what the parent said -- that being in a zoo is often better because animals in the wild often live in misery (they "starve" or "have ticks").

Except if you have in mind some huge zoos, where animals run, hunt, and explore a large area free, the parent's is a perfectly reasonable understanding of what the grandparent wrote, not a strawman.
>Imagine a time when scientists often tried to prove things true

The philosophers of science that Popper was criticizing didn't think that scientists should try to prove that theories were true. They thought that scientists should try to show that theories were likely to be true given the available evidence. Popper was a radical skeptic regarding epistemic probability, and thought that it was impossible to probabilistically confirm scientific theories.
It's not quite a zoo, but check out The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, CO.

> The organization that pays the market wage will usually out-compete the organization which pays based on hours and seniority.

That's conjecture though isn't it? Because the organization that doesn't promote its star employees out of their range of competence will perform better and have less turnover because people won't be leaving for better opportunities elsewhere.

> Seniority is a poor proxy for productivity (theer's definitely a correlation, but it's not strong and it ignores individual variation, which is large),

Sure, obviously productivity is a consideration in whether to keep an employee, and possibly a consideration for raises. You don't want to keep any kind of non-productive employee. But while they're not productive in their current role, they might be productive in another role.

> while paying based on hours is rewarding poor productivity.

You're assuming a lot about what I meant by hours.
Think of it more like dating--it's normal to have 50 "failed" dates before you tie the knot. You don't commit until you find a great match. In business, this means the market actually cares about what you're making.

Predicting which software businesses will find this fit is extremely hard. VCs know this, and diversify their investments among many founders (knowing one big payday can make up for 10-100 failures).

I did the same. I quit without a new job to go to. I had planned to quit for months before I actually did, but job searching while I was stressed was adding to my stress. It just wasn't working. I had enough savings and I knew my skills were in demand so I quit.

I recovered for a couple months before I started job searching again. Within a month of starting the job search, I had a new job.

I think quitting without a new job isn't always a dumb thing to do. I think in our cases it was the smart thing to do.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.
but, Java has been the main language for years now so it might seem a safe bet. Everybody coming out of IT education is forced to learn Java for that reason. Which means there are 13 in a dozen people for the job. Java is also dying a bit. To my opinion it will go into the direction of cobol. It will loose popularity with a surplus of personnel. In about 15 years you will become valuable again for the same reason cobol did. Someone needs to support the stacks of banks etc.
that said, python is 'just' a scripting language. So it is usually deemed 'less cool' or less 'hardcore' than Java. I disagree with this sentiment, but can you blame people who went into IT because of the money and now can only code on 1 language (to my opinion you need to learn as much as possible and don't stick to one trick)?
I'd say;look for what you really like to do and find a job in that and keep learning. Because that's what successful IT people do. Keep learning.

I'm surprised electronics work on the earth.

Such fragile things it's amazing how little it takes to destroy a device. And how much energy can be put through the same fragile device.

And how much energy is in one Coulomb. The example I like is two points each with one Coulomb repel with a force of one millions tons.

A recent artie I read spoke about the reaction wheels of old spacecraft failing. Solar flares caused arcing in the metal ball bearings the would pit the bearing race. So if a steel ball bearing can't take it imagine fragile electronic devices.
In order to fix the system, first you have to convince everyone that there is a problem. Thanks to Trump, now pretty much all of the US unanimously agrees that there is a problem.

If Hillary had won, then the elites would be thinking that all is well and that the system works. Trump is a loud and clear message that things are not well and they need to change. Communicating that message is totally worth 4 years of bad political leadership.

I mean a real connection between the history of opera and programming is the conflict between opera as a courtly art (Eric Raymond’s “cathedral”) and its life as a public spectacle (“the bazaar”).

Ah so it's the bombs that Saudi Arabia uses which are the problem? Do you blame Obama for them as well? He approved on just as many sales heck he lobbied for many of them
Or do you blame Obama for his foreign and security policies which greenlit the power struggle between Iran and KSA which started this whole mess?

Hindsight is always 20/20...

But since we're talking about pure logistics here do you think KSA would have problems purchasing those bombs from anyone else? KSA buys as much weapons from Europe these days as they do from the US, if the EU and the US won't sell them bombs then Russia, China or India would, heck KSA is even flying Israeli made drones.

And the whole argument is just utterly shameful, it's nothing more than the old hyperbolic trope of but think of the children.... if KSA only dropped bombs on the Iranian backed houthi rebels would that make McCain's voting history acceptable in your mind?

tl;dr

> The use of phone numbers as both lock and key has led to the rise, in recent years, of so-called SIM swapping attacks, in which an attacker steals your phone number. When you add two-factor authentication to an account and receive your codes through SMS texts, they go to the attacker instead, along with any calls and texts intended for the victim. Sometimes attackers even use inside sources at carriers who will transfer numbers for them.

> Tieing 2fa directly to the phone is much better than tieing it to a phone number, until you don't control your phone.

This is worse. (edit: i.e. easier for the attacker since they don't need physical access to your device.) You still control your phone, but the attacker takes your phone number.
Job opportunities are heavily dependent on where you live (unless you're willing to move), so I would research that. You might find that e.g. C# will yield more opportunities/pay in your area.

Personally I would take Python/Django over Java/Spring any day. Python is a much more succinct language and I find the overall developer experience to be much more pleasant in the Python world.
> Then, how do you recover?

In case this is not a rethorical question: Using the backup codes or a copy of the barcode you printed.

Regardless of what method you use I assume you want a secure backup method.

> but you can get a new sim

Maybe easily if you are a private person and happen to lose the phone in your home country during opening hours. I tried this method once but the company just forwarded me to the internal helpdesk of the company I work for (this is a good thing, but previously they issued SIM cards to me). Got a sim like a week later.
From what I understand this isn’t actually true to much extent; 16 was still considered fairly young.

> To mask the effects of upsets in the FPGA configuration memory, temporal or structural redundancy can be applied to the system. Temporal redundancy involves the
replication of a computation or logic function in time to mitigate failures that occur during one of the redundant computations. Structural redundancy involves the replication of selected circuit structures to remove single-point failures. Failures in the circuit can be masked by performing the logic or computing function in more than one circuit location.

> The most common form of structural redundancy is to apply triple-modular redundancy (TMR) [24]. As shown in Fig. 6, TMR involves the triplication of all circuit resources
and the addition of majority voters at the appropriate circuit outputs.
