> Slack is perfect for organizations, whereas IRC is not.

Why not? Organizations can host their own IRC server(s). Won't that be better than relying on a third-party's services?

And if needed, they can write their own bots, clients, or even their own specific extensions to the protocol.
the bigger irony is that the SEC and FINRA were doing exactly what one of the hackers said they were doing, but got them - Ukranian and Russian trading firms - to settle over $10m just because they happened to know the other traders and would try to prove it in court that way if they didn't settle.

okay, knows prominent traders and hackers who trade US equities from Russian timezones, small world?

I don't like that story
So I want to be very clear that based on extensive reports I've read in the press, and anecdotes that have been shared online, what krapp said definitely goes on, but no, personally I have never witnessed that.

There are two main reasons why it's possible that I've never run across such cases, the most logical one being that I've worked primarily in a Delivery Station and not a Fulfillment Center. From what I've experienced the Delivery Stations are, for lack of a better term, not run as "efficiently" as the FC's, so the metrics that are used to track employee performance aren't quite as well quantified. There is still obviously a lot of performance tracking with regards to rates, but due to the less efficient and structured layout of the DS, there seems to be a bit more leeway given.

Also, I think I've been extremely fortunate with the management that I work under and they seem to take worker safety and the overall work environment very seriously. I can't imagine any managers at my station writing anyone up for taking bathroom breaks, and definitely not for handling a bloody nose. Again, just to be clear, I'm not at all refuting the accuracy of those reports, issues like that have definitely occurred in Amazon warehouses, but the environment at my warehouse seems to be significantly more worker friendly. I think this is probably due to our station managers' oversight.

Also, I've only been working at Amazon for slightly over one year, so it's possible that they have been making genuine progress on these issues.

It’s not universal. I’ve lost access to several apps that I had paid for—and that’s not even getting into iOS 11 incompatibility.
If that sort of thing bothers you, I'm not sure it's possible to make a version that totally avoids it. Even breaking blocks is "enjoying destruction". I certainly enjoyed smashing all the bricks in Mario when I was little.

That said, I suspect most 5 year olds can figure out that virtual cube pigs aren't real, and that there's no consequence to punching them with virtual cube arms.
To be fair, browsers aren't always perfect about preserving backwards compatibility for every API.

Miles ahead of native, and hundreds of miles ahead of mobile. For the most part, the web is one of the most future-proof platforms you can develop for, if not the most future-proof platform you can develop for.

But there's still room to improve.
You haven't yet tried a university system which may be a good fit for you. They typically operate at a slower pace, are much more detail oriented, and accommodate a wide range of employees.
Just want to point out IRC3 aims to have "standardised account registration and verification, allowing clients to provide better interfaces for end users." This is really important, as registering an account on an IRC network can be a barrier to adoption.

It came down to the fact we required an email address and password for IAP so you could bring your subscription to the web or other platforms. While everyone else in the category did this, they decided that policy was going to change and we were just going to be the first people to deal with it. Since having an email-based account was core to the architecture and the UX, I went through a week of refactor hell to make emails/passwords optional to meet our launch date.

Are you sure that’s the only reason? I can do in app purchases with Udemy that required an account to be used everywhere.

I also know that Hulu, Pluralsight, Netflix, and Evernote all work this way.

You're assuming we see all the comments. We can't come close to doing that, and we don't always read the threads in order. I took a look and you're right—the parent was uncivil as well. When you run into a bad comment that hasn't been moderated yet, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it.

The thing is, though, that every user here needs to follow the rules whether the other fellow does or not. "Which you seem to lack" was a needless personal swipe.

More generally, your comment was written in the flamewar style. Please don't practice the dark arts here. It's the opposite of what we want on HN. What we want is thoughtful conversation where people who respect one another try to figure things out together. Treat fellow commenters like teammates and you'll be on the right track.

What do you think of TFTP then? All things have their uses. Outside of the valley, a ton of things don't live on untrusted networks.

Don't conflate protocols that are terrible with protocols that aren't 'hip'. ftp and telnet have been replaced (thankfully) and should die in a fire. Usenet is still cool though.
In the US, I'm highly pessimistic that any law that gave people a private right of action against basically any company that touches their data would ever pass without large and noticeable changes to the business and legal landscapes.
My wife loves Birkenstock and owns multiple of them, spread throughout our house.

I kept wearing my Adidas Adilette for years until they finally broke apart. It was a sad day. I was looking for a replacement but my wife convinced me of trying out Birkenstock being more healthy and all. She bought me a pair and they are the right size, but... oh dear... after a few seconds my feet really start to hurt like walking on fire!

I have a bit of a flat foot but otherwise no pain at all. Should i keep wearing them for health's sake? Will my feet eventually adapt to them and stop hurting?

I miss my Adilettes...
What would be really classic is if this was funded by Microsoft to sicken Amazon’s white collar workforce and make them more easily poachable.

Had anyone ever done a piece of investigative journalism on the actual conditions at Amazon? A company that big will have some terrible managers, and the fact that it’s not discovering those easily, is problematic, but that doesn’t mean the entire company is rotten.

I’m a manager in a Scandinavian municipality, and because I work with lean and efficiency I get to see all sides of our operation. I’ve seen departments run so badly that employees were crying every day, and it took HR a year to fix it. I’ve seen departments where sleeping with the boss was the main road to a pay-raise. Hell one of our senior managers who sleeps with employees at the Christmas party, still works for us because nobody wants to step up in public. Some departments have 30% sickleave while others have 2%.

That doesn’t mean the overall working conditions are bad at the municipality. In fact we score 9/10 in employment satisfaction. This in itself is a bit of a problem though, because it’s higher than it should be, but that’s another story.

when you employ hundreds of thousands, you’re bound to have some really bad stories among them. Amazon may be all bad, and I could easily have missed the story that actually did the research, but I simply haven’t seen one.
That doesn’t happen. If you click on an address from Google’s website, it opens in Google Maps if it is installed. If you click on a link from any Google app it opens Google maps by default.
For most of the client protocol, it's just RFC 1459 and RFC 2812. Then there's CTCP, DCC, server-to-server protocols and the 005 numeric.

I'm not sure you need any of these for communicating via telnet or writing a small bot that will answer back.

Ok—please don't state it without evidence either!

I know it looks and feels super obvious, but I assure you this is an illusion. On the internet, people are orders of magnitude too quick to leap from "random user with obviously wrong opinion" to "obvious bot/astroturfer/paid shill". It's a crazy bias. We look into this stuff all the time, and 99% of the time it's just that some people disagree with you. More than 99% actually.

Even when we ban an account for trolling, that's almost always someone whose sincere passions about a topic led them to violate the guidelines and not stop when we asked them to stop. That's not astroturfing. People are just very passionate about divisive issues.

Never heard of anyone having that issue. However, as a life long Birkenstock customer I can tell you that they get vastly more comfortable with age as they get broken in more.

If what you need is the management of 16 different NIST P-curve keys and nothing else, and you don't necessarily care if the whole package is secure against DPA, that part is a cheap way to get that.

But that's not what people on this thread are asking for; they want it to do all the crypto stuff they do normally, with all the keys secured in hardware.

I'm a little out of my depth on this stuff; I've done chipset work but my part of those projects always starts with the C code. Maybe you can accomplish what you want with a cheap crypto IC. I'm really just pushing back on the idea that because you can build a smartphone out of a cheap ARM core, you can also build an HSM out of one.

You’re conflating technology and community.
Something else I've recently found out from an ex, I always thought `te quiero` (in Spanish) meant "I love you", but really means something like "I feel fondness for you" (and can be used between family and close friends), but `te amo` means "I love you". First time she told me, I almost broke down in tears.

It's amazing how much language affects how we relate.

Edit: after learning the difference, and because she wasn't ready to say it, even though I was, and not wanting to make her uncomfortable, I invented `te quieramo` as a nice substitute. She seemed to enjoy that :)
Apple has crapware in the store, but the crapware can’t do the things that SpyPhone can on Android.
As someone who has no knowledge whatsoever about Go, is there some way I could learn more about what you mention? I’m really curious to see how people are trying to learn from the bot, but I’m not too sure how to find out.
So, if you don't want to exclude experienced people from applying I suggest emphasizing the mission of the company, the size and number of dev/data/design/eng teams, and core languages. A lot of the posts do mention the fad of the moment stacks but I have never applied to any of those :)
> you would need to get, like, 10 $5,000 bounties a year to survive in the US wouldn't you?

More like 2 $5k bounties a year for me. Where I live in the U.S., I could rent a house for $500/mo ($6,000 a year), and I eat about $200 of food per month ($2,400 a year). So the cost of living per year is $8,400.

But yes, it entirely depends on where you live. For me, I specifically chose this place so that I could live comfortably on bug bounty income

Can you tell me how much the hub cost? The RA2 Select hub is $249 and the main difference (besides fewer devices and extenders) compared to RadioRA2 is that it’s “programmed” through the same Caseta Android/iOS apps vs the higher end / certified-only RadioRA2 and HomeWorksQS systems.
What do you mean? It absolutely makes sense to say (я тебя люблю). People tend to say it less frequently because the communists attempted to eradicate display of superfluous emotions by pretending they don't exist, but if you go back to the classics the characters talk about love all the time.

Isn't the nominal size of a slice of cake more important than it's percentage relative to the overall cake?

Sure, it would be great if developers got a larger chunk of a large market. But what if they got a smaller chunk of a much bigger market? 70 % of a hundred million is a lot more than a hundred percent of 500 bucks. Worrying about percentages can sometimes just be about jealousy/ego.

I don't see that implication in the article. I think you're referring to this part "your guys were detected. They were trading with very big money and there was a lot of fuss about them, about how it’s not the season and when it was the season they traded."

This excerpt most likely implies that the inside trades were for commodities (future contracts) and was sent to one of the relative people involved in the hack.

What would be irony (but of course is speculation) is if any of the brokerages that the hackers submitted trades thru did front-running (matching their trades at entry).

You are thinking of gross income. Net income includes depreciation for assets acquired under capital expenses.
It has been proven time and again that if a company is doing well financially, their internal people policies are not paid attention to.

All the people centric PR that companies dish out is simply another strategy to make more money without employee revolt.

Having said this, it's not completely company's fault. The financial system judges companies solely on their profits and future outlook, not employee happiness and well being.

It's not really anything to do with the protocols, they don't really matter. The protocols represented the tools you could use to consume the internet, usenet allowed you to follow special interest groups, ftp allowed you to get files ( back in the day of public domain and shareware ), telnet let you into other systems, either for another shell or to play MUDs :) IRC allowed you to chat, Gopher allowed you to find information and resources, and of course there was email. Other than email ( which is a super crappy system ), all the others are fringe tools these days.
Fair point, the odds I gave are for these things to happen in the lifetime of a star. It seems likely though that Stars of previous generations than ours are unlikely to have had enough heavy elements to have a rich enough material environment to develop life. An abundant supply of heavier elements such as iron, potassium, calcium, etc is a relatively recent development in the universe. Planets lacking plentiful supplies of mid-weight elements seem like they would be dramatically less likely to develop life.

Is there a reason IRC couldn't look like slack to the user?

kiwiirc is an opensource webUI IRC client (demo at https://kiwiirc.com/). To my untrained eye it looks slack-ish, but not being a slack-native I'm not really sure what Slack's draw is and whether its something webUI clients for IRC can't do.
The line I quoted was from the article. It's a summary of the argument from the much longer paper. It's not an implied argument. I repeat the quote from the article below.

I do, however disagree. The source you gave me, specifically ... "Over a dozen subsequent reconstructions, including Mann et al. 2008 and PAGES 2k Consortium 2013, have supported these general conclusions." subsequentally refers to the same exact persons ("Mann et all") data that I am referring to, -- so to speak, we have come full circle: my source shows a flaw, your argument refers to the flawed data, as true. Do you see this? I am pointing to data showing Manning doctored the data, and you are giving me the same doctored data as proof. I would be honored if you understand my point here. Also I encourage you to read the link [1] and find any flaws. I encourage you to engage critical thinking and play a "contrarian" view on the subject matter.
