I find it hard to believe that you "let go" of people with physical infrastructure expertise after you "moved to AWS." Netflix has a massive physical hardware project with Open Connect and runs one of the largest bandwidth networks in the world. The fact that everything suddenly collapsed under one individual probably had something to do with it. I don't mind said individual, but a lot of people don't like him. He's been known to do and say some pretty petty things.

The only reason the researcher gave permission was because the OpenBSD devs said that they were going to release on the original embargo date instead of extending out to 90 days like everyone else agreed to. They even say on their mailing list that they probably announced too much with their errata when they "silently" patched it. They techincally didn't break the embargo, but only because they refused to go along with what the rest of the community was doing.

“Progressive” isn’t why people flee. Nobody is fleeing Australia which has higher taxes than SF.

I think people would be more inclined to stay if the money went further, I’m yet to understand why the taxes are so high without free hospitals, university, super clean streets etc.

legitimate Q: where does it all disappear in San Francisco that doesn’t occur in progressive Europe / Aus / NZ?
Nice! While Gophish is a personal project, as part of $dayjob I do security research.

> What's the advantage of thermo-electric cooling here over the traditional method?

1) It is quiet

2) It is easily electronically controllable based on the heat load in the water.

The heat sinks on the thermo-electrics are convection cooled and you could blow air over them but as you increase the thermal gradient between the heat sink and the air around them you are able to dump more heat. The only parameter you can vary with the typical heat exchange is "blow more air" you can't change the working temperature of the exchanger.

That said, the way power plants cool their water is in big evaporative cooling towers, but since I don't need a humidifier for the lab I stick with just convection cooling :-)
Indeed, it's unfortunate that some people can't even continue to work from their homes while sick.
Well, one position is concerned with truth (e.g. "I'm a man") and one position is concerned with belief (e.g. "I believe you're a woman").

Being more concerned with what you believe about people over facts about them seems pretty selfish, but at this point if I haven't convinced you that perhaps people are a better judge of their identities than random strangers, I don't think I'm going to, and I agree that our positions are irreconcilable.

I'd point out, however, that your position doesn't really leave possibility to foster understanding between people who believe differently either; if I say I'm a man and somebody disagrees, they're ignoring the most primary of primary sources. That's not the position of somebody who's open to compromise; that's the position of somebody who's already made their decision and refuses to consider any other factor.

Stack ranking is a very bad idea. At MSFT, as I understand it, it led to some terrible dynamics, such as people not helping each other within teams, nor across teams, and no one wanting to stick their necks out.

Labor is the biggest cost at tech companies, so one can understand desperate attempts at getting a handle on that cost. As long as you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater...
Edited a clarification surrounding the fourth reference, which I suppose is why I posted the comment in the first place. Basically, the submission argues that cortisol may increase the risk of alzheimer's, but we've arguably got a more robust body of knowledge pointing to a much more direct risk (herpes) and therefore potentially a more effective chokepoint that might moot the cortisol/alzheimer's link, if one such link exists.
Im actually considering going from thunderbird to gmail, fastmail or outlook

The reason is b/c thunderbird doesnt have a good reply monitor,threading for conversations or plugins to handle it. I have to buy things from vendors all the time and manufacturer reps always never do their job properly until I remind them 2 to 5x (not an exaggeration) over the course of 2 weeks. The reason is b/c most are all low tech and cant manage emails. I wish I could just bypass them entirely but its complicated.

Sometimes vendors dont use emails like purchasing@company.com and use name@company.com and dont tell me they fired their sales rep and hired a new one. So sometimes my emails go to deadlinks again and thunderbird has no monitoring solution and poor conversation threading.

Its becoming a huge hassle for me so I need a better tracking system. Gmail has many integrations for this though on the other hand.

I dont know if I care all that much about privacy in all honesty. I am more worried about getting vendor locked through google,so I might set an smtp/imap account with thunderbird for my google emails.

The new google gmail is not really that bad in all honesty. It loads slow starting out but it does not bother me though. Some of the view modes make my eyes bleed though UX is beyond atrocious especially with attachments.

For what it's worth, I'm a techie that thought Seattle was too expensive... ten years ago. So I moved to eastern Washington. Yes, it is very small town and very republican. But, every house on my block has Democrat political signs in the front yard and I think there's a very real possibility we're going to see our state legislative district and our congressional seat go Democrat. Likewise, depending on where you are there's more here than you might expect - short flights or ~4 hour drive to Seattle and Portland. Close hop up to BC for skiing, etc. Affordable housing. Reasonable public schools. It's not all mad max here in flyover country.

I’m gonna have to say I disagree. We are already making tiny drones the size of bees. And you don’t need that size to make a reliable, one shot bomb to kill someone.

Anyone with time, a bit of money, and a plan can make a swarm of drones to fly into a crowd automatically and blow themselves up remotely.

The fact that I hasn’t happened already just surprises me.

Duckspeak vs. Smalltalk: Decline of the Xerox PARC Philosophy at Apple (2011)
Colin Percival was the FreeBSD Security Officer 2005-2012. In that role, he interacted personally with members of the OpenBSD team (and Theo de Raadt in particular) in discussing vulnerabilities with them; this is not necessarily public communication. Elsewhere in this HN thread, he discussed OpenBSD's/Theo's handling of an unspecified vulnerability in 2005, and the "Lazy FPU" vulnerability in 2018. Perhaps one of the more salient bits is when he wrote "I'm not saying that he [Theo] has agreed to embargoes and then broken them. I'm saying that he has made it clear that he isn't interested in acting as a productive member of the community." As a member of the broader security community, and of the BSD security community in particular, Colin is somewhat uniquely qualified to make that statement on his own credibility.

Replying to him in the thread is Ted Unangst, a high-profile OpenBSD developer.

Can share (without giving away names) what strategies you used to suss this out? One thing I am very terrible at is actually sussing out unhealthy behaviour and cultures in an interview setting and it would be great to see how you guage both the answers and the cues.
I’ll check it out. I’m still trying to find a way we can protect ourselves though. The best I can come up with is (at home) a droppable net that covers your windows that has a current running through it. Maybe something similar for a personal device.

Beyond that, hacking into their WiFi or navigation signals. But how do you do that?
Qt's signal/slot mechanism coupled with it's model framework make it quite simple to wire a QML GUI to a C++ backend.

Is that total cash compensation (salary + stock + bonuses, or whatever), or just salary? I can never tell with these sorts of statements.
I didn't choose this analogy, GP did. That said, I do think it conveys - somewhat hyperbolically - the premise that your own managers and teammates are encouraged - as a matter of policy - to disparage you and your performance once you are forced out of the outfit.
It depends on the range. Due to the inverse square law, it would take a tremendously powerful magnetic field to induce enough current to damage even unshielded electronics at more than a few meters away.
Creating the first quantum internet
I gathered from the article that the main reason people were moving was because of the high cost of living. Higher taxes certainly are a part of the high cost of living. However, clearly the high cost of housing is the largest contributor to the high cost of living, not taxes.
One could easily think that taxes in California are too high, but that in the place one moved to they are too low (assuming they are substantially lower than California of course). So I'm not convinced there's an inconsistency.

Personally, I think US+California taxes are too low, especially for high incomes. But I'm undoubtably biased from having grown up in that well-known-haven of high tax rates called Switzerland.
They're definitely terrible on average. I can't disagree with you. I think the state could even stand to raise it's sales tax 1% to support better education.
I think “NIMBY”ism is bipartisan among affluent homeowners, whose have both an economic and social incentive to prevent new low cost housing in their neighborhoods.
The problem is that the hooks seem to be much more restricting than setState. You can `if (condition) this.setState({x: 1})` but you can not with hooks because React keeps track and doesn't allow you to break out of a very narrow usage.

Look at the rules from the docs:

> Only call Hooks at the top level. Don’t call Hooks inside loops, conditions, or nested functions.

> Only call Hooks from React function components. Don’t call Hooks from regular JavaScript functions.

I think this will lead to junior developers to not understand the React framework but to just accept "the way to do things" and do what the docs say, without ever questioning anything.
No, because what you’re measuring is rate of change vs volume. If you made $1 and now you make $2, that is 100% growth in income. If you made $1M and now make $1.2M that is 20% growth, but in absolute dollars you make way more.

Just a FUCK-TON of boilerplate :P
Prop 13 restricts supply. For example I have a modest home I bought for what’s now half the market value. I won’t sell to move to a slightly better home because my taxes would double.

Additionally my mother-in-law bought her home in the 70s for 1/20 of its current value. There are exemptions that allow to move within her county, but to downsize would likely 5x her taxes or more.

> The pay for Senior & Principal level positions at Netflix are $350k-$500k+ base compensation. The same shape of thing at Apple, Facebook, etc. would be about half that in many cases.

A Principal Engineer at FB would make "half" of $350-500k in compensation?

Pure nonsense.

Moreover, it seems like Netflix pays more cash and less equity, so some folks on this thread love to talk about "base compensation", "salary", etc.

What really matters is total comp, and from what I know, Netflix is about on par with the rest of FAANG.

I don't know much about them directly, but I do know folks who work for FAANGs very close to Los Gatos, and would certainly be inteested in moving if Netflix paid more "by a significant margin".
You can "burn" it like coal, except that it "burns" CO2 instead of oxygen.

That is a bit optimistic :-)

The potential energy per gram of mass is much lower than for coal burning in Earth's atmosphere -- worse, the kinetics are so sluggish that you would need a very large vessel with good insulation to build up a useful temperature differential.

You'd also need to concentrate perchlorates from the Martian soil before they would sustain combustion with methane. Assuming that was done, though, perchlorates plus hydrocarbons will combust with vigor.
Maybe. I think that may be true overall, that denser cities lean left. Where does that leave suburbia though? Somewhere in the middle? While Austin votes blue every city/county around it voted red, including Round Rock. And Ft Worth went red but Dallas went blue. So I guess it might even depend on your neighborhood.

If so, colour me excited!
Netflix apologists in this thread love to use words like "salary" and "cash", then compare against the base salary of other FAANGs.

Effectively what they're doing is comparing total comp at Netflix with base salary at other FAANGs, which is very misleading.

Sure the concerns over Japan buying up US real estate and driving US companies out of business seem ridiculous now. But the difference is that at Japan's economic peak they had only about half the US population, whereas now China has about four times the current US population. That's a huge difference in scale.
This is a bizarre comment to me. React is already used _way_ more than Reagent. Even Reagent itself uses React internally. What "lunch" is there to eat? People who enjoy ClojureScript will still use Reagent/Re-Frame because it's not JavaScript.
> we're talking about products where a "first sale" has not occurred.

Well, you seemed to distill the initial point to that, and then reject it, but I didn't interpret it as something so specific at all. Essentially it looked like a Straw Man argument.

If the details of this are specifically linked to that case, and there's no indication that it's happening to other types of shipment (a weakening of the original points presented that you responded to), that should have been specifically noted (is it? I don't know. I haven't been following this). Otherwise, you aren't really addressing the same thing as the comment you responded to (unless derefr is specifically talking about this incident, without mentioning this incident. That's possible).
