Slightly off topic, but I noticed it in the article. You can run "wc" directly, you don't need to pipe from cat. Especially since cat on any sufficiently large file takes quite a while.
I'd keep in mind three things.

First, the direct consequence of tightening controls on payments to prevent money laundering is that you are tightening the control of government on anything happening in a society. I don't think any libertarian leaning people at least should be ok with this level of control. Like how would cannabis would have ever been legalised if a parallel, illegal market didn't exist to the point that the consensus moved toward legalisation.

Second, as a private company, how to you go about ensuring that every single one of your customers is legit. Any paper you are given can be forged. Any explanation can be made up. You don't have police investigation powers. A car salesman has no way to check that you are not buying a car with profits from a ponzi scheme. Banks are becoming increasingly invasive in term of questions and documents they require, but this is an impossible task. Even auditors don't spot fraud every time (see Patisserie Valerie in the UK for a recent example).

Third, in a 200,000 employees organisation, how do you ensure that every single one of your employees is honnest. At that scale it is just statistically impossible to not have a fraud somewhere. So how do these calls to bankrupt the company with fines if anything wrong happens (that I read in other comments) makes sense?

It's good to hear how well how it has worked out for you!

My situation isn't exactly as good, but it's getting there I'm hoping. The current job I have started out as part time so that I could work on my side project. This didn't work out but then I suddenly got more trust and freedom for doing things my own way, and now it's much better.
I am in a somewhat similar position : I want to build a linux distro powered phone (postmarketos and/or ubports should be able to boot), and I have no idea where to start. Maybe I'll start by booting up the OS on a raspberry pi and get all the components working on a brick sized prototype and then see if it's possible to use the pi compute module to use as a base for the phone. Any ideas/suggestions are welcome.

I think it's unreasonable to consider fining a bank based on the yearly profits of the bank. If a bank does hundreds of billions of dollars of transactions globally and several hundred million of those are tainted, the sanctions in question should be based on the tainted transactions, not the annual revenue or profits.

If a small bank does $100M of tainted transactions and a large bank does the same, they should be fined the same, IMO.

Your point about the small company is not an analog in my opinion. If you have $500K in profits and a tax cheating penalty of $1MM, it does not follow that the precedent is that tax penalties are 2x annual profits, but rather that tax penalties are proportionate to the tax cheating. If another company has a tax fraud of 50x the scope and 1000x the profits, their tax fraud fine should be 50x yours, not 1000x yours.

>It’s very interesting that the founder of 4chan ended up being super liberal leaning.

I dunno, a lot of 4chan’s image as right leaning is just a product of the time. The left has the cultural prominence to be uptight hall monitors of society, so the anything goes platform will attract and outwardly appear right.

When I was much younger the left were the cool rebels to the right’s status quo. If the timeline was slightly different 4chan could have just as easily been a lefty hangout with a conservative founder.

Ask HN: How do you write efficient and elegant systems / APIs?
I have seen very elegant and efficient open source repositories.

Recently I had a few breakthroughs, where instead of searching for an answer from the bottom up, I visualized the solution from the top down. I imagined how I would access the API as another engineer and that helped a lot.

How does one improve their skill at making / writing a more elegant and efficient system or architecture?

Small correction, Colossus was designed to break the Lorenz cypher (which was considerably more complex than Enigma). The machine itself was designed by Tommy Flowers (not Turing), who was a post office worker who had previously worked with vacuum tubes and thought it would be possible to build a programmable computer with them. After the war Flowers applied for funding to build a similar machine (Colossus being top secret) and was denied on account of the idea being impractical.

The machine Turing is famous for his work on was Bombe, which was designed to crack Enigma.
That's true.

I guess that I'm biased by the fact that, in the few cases where things really went to hell, a contract wouldn't have helped.

Just curious, did you notice any change in your Google SERP rankings after the move?
I can understand why. Most billionaires don't have a microphone recording 24-7 in millions of homes like Bezos does. So it's much harder for them to gain leverage over their potential blackmailers.
This is a problem I see - that no two analytics engines actually agree on the numbers, and none of them agree with my server logs.

I just flat don't trust GA, on anything. I can't trust it to give me the right numbers, so how do I know the rest of the data is actually correct, and what is the point of slowing my site down to have it?

I'll have a look at Fathom. If its numbers agree with my server logs then I'll think about adding it in. I can see the usefulness, but I'd prefer to just analyse the logs I'm already keeping (and maybe expand them to include user behaviour on the client).
I think you should lengthily think about WHY you are interested in x,y,z. Formulate it by jotting it down. It should make what is a priority clearer.

Ask HN: Temporal, RESTful-API / different resource types
Hi,

for a temporal Open Source NoSQL storage system I'm currently changing a RESTful-API slightly (no stable version released as of now -- or way back a few years, so I can change the API) as I now support the storage and querying (querying as of now via XQuery only XML) of either XML or JSON data in a binary- and in-memory format.

Would you simply build URLs as for instance with the following schema (and query parameters):

https://host:port/xml/database/document
https://host:port/json/database/document

or use the HTTP "accept" and "Content-Type" headers? Basically I just need to know if I have to open a database which has XDM/XML nodes/records stored or JSON nodes, but it affects the RESTful-API.

Up until now I simply had URLs in this format:

https://host:port/database
https://host:port/database/document

kind regards
Johannes

My blog joelx.com is fun for me and has thirteen years of posts chronicling my transition from employee to founder /CEO of a 130 employee company.
First one and a half years at my current company which was (maybe still is) a startup but provided me with proper cubicles where I could concentrate and work while also providing me with a process (or lack of it) startups often are supposed to have that I could reach up to even CTO or CEO pretty much whenever I wanted to. Or if I wanted to make some change or do something different or new, I didn't have to go through a chain of command, I just used to meet with whoever were the stakeholders with a short notice in a very casual to the point short meeting or huddle. The place had nap rooms, gym, shower rooms (which I used to use everyday because I would play 2 hours of badminton before office), and people used to come there at 9-10am and leave by 5-6pm. It had a separate hall for TT and foosball which were not used aggressively.

The new team however is a place which prides itself in having the "startup culture". It's in a different building and it has TT and foosball tables (pretty much never free) right next to our work desks which are like places where everybody sits everywhere and I literally had to fight with people to ensure that my "spot" remains "my" spot. People start coming at 11-130am and keep leaving till 11pm - 12pm and you are often expected to stay back if there's "dependency" and if you start pulling a 10-6 you are literally looked down upon. This team loves to talk about working like this. Productivity is hitting rock bottom. I know it turned into a rant but that's how I feel. Yes, I am interviewing but only at MNCs :|
From the article:

> Though Poole did not immediately make special note of this, he would come to adopt a similar philosophy as the years went on, which included principles of anonymity that would also come to define 4chan. Poole believed that such anonymity would allow users to feel comfortable posting things that they might otherwise not, which in turn would foster creativity.

Sounds to me like he matured into a belief that allowing people to use the internet anonymously was very important.

Data Visualization Books
This is a tough question. My wife and I were very happy living in the mountains of Central Arizona in Sedona for 20 years (Except for some time at Google in Mountain View and a gig in Singapore, I worked remotely for 20 years). Almost two years ago, I interviewed for a job in Central Illinois managing a small machine learning team. It was tricky talking my wife into the move but we have really enjoyed living in the Midwest- change is good!

Because change is good, you might consider the Arkansas job. Life is short and having many different experiences is fun and slows down time so the years don’t pass as quickly.

The downside of moving is having to convert your friends to ‘remote friends’ who you can talk with on the phone but rarely see.

BTW, my wife and I took a long road trip through the south this winter and we liked all the areas we visited. I grew up in Berkeley, across the bay from SF, and I know many people who think that California is the only place to live, but I think the truth is that there are many wonderful places to live in the US, so be adventurous.

Honestly working full remote. But too much of anything gets old and I'm looking to get back into an office with 3 days in and 2 days out or even 4 in and 1 out.

As for team dynamics it was my first job. The cheapos would hire only very junior engineers. This meant terrible code quality but a young team eagar to make the jump in our careers. We learned a lot from each other and many of us are still in communication 10 years later. Despite being scattered across the country.

It was not by sheer chance that Groves et.al. showed up at Alamogordo with plutonium, in a sphere of exactly the right size, containing a carefully-constructed initiator, and surrounded by explosive blocks of exactly the right shape, with their detonators connected to timing circuitry specifically developed to have the necessary accuracy, and all components thoroughly tested. If it had not detonated, that would have been on account of a chance event.
Book Review: Three Roads to Quantum Gravity
"Many observers, not many worlds". There is a concept from quantum theory called superposition where things are in many possible states at the same time. At some time an "observer" makes a measurement and one of those possible states is observed (the wave collapses). This raises the question: What makes the "observer" special? Do the many possible states imply there are many possible worlds, all in parallel?

Almost all theories assume there is a closed experiment and that the "observer" is outside the system. Smolin points out that this is not possible when considering the universe since, by definition, the observer is part of the universe. Chapter 3 discusses the idea that there are multiple consistent theories, each held by different observers rather than multiple worlds.

This is one of the many interesting ideas in this book. It is well worth the read.

The book is clearly written at the level of the "interested observer" (pun intended) of quantum theory. It does not require any mathematics but does assume one is familiar with quantum ideas.
The diet you describe is what I am using to treat my AS. It's not cured it by any stretch but it has done wonders and is improving my health steadily the deeper I go into this dietary journey.
I didn't mean to insinuate that it was. The Rust RegEx engine was simply the first that came to mind for me. What I did intend to say that if this is indeed the optimisation that Nevod claims it has, it is not the first to do it.

However I did take the time to read up on Hyperscan and would like to thank you for contributing to what looks like an excellent tool.
Linux isolated through virtualization under a microkernel is the way to go if running Linux in the same hardware is actually needed at all. The realtime tasks would simply run outside of Linux, shielded from Linux.

Genode's virtualization (particularly when paired with the excellent seL4 microkernel) is a good way to achieve that.

If Linux can interfere with the "hard realtime" task, then there can be no assurance (of meeting hard deadlines) and it's thus not a solution providing hard realtime.

I'm all for research papers being made more open and available, rather than hidden away through paid-for journals --- this is in my opinion one of the worst parts of how knowledge is shared. However, I'm not sure that making the papers actually able to be modified through a platform like this will make research more accessible or authentic, at least without changing virtually everything else about how science is done in academic institutions.

If the content of a paper changes over time, it becomes more difficult to reference that paper. You now have to include both the paper and something which identifies which version of the paper you read. This is possible of course, but is a fairly big inconvenience for mostly stupid reasons, such as various citation styles not allowing hyperlinks of any form. There is also the possibility of the content of a paper changing completely, though we should hope that people would use a tool like this sensibly and it wouldn't be an issue.

This proposed platform puts a burden on the authors of the paper to maintain a paper indefinitely. Of course, any paper you author you are at least partially responsible for, and any legitimate errors should concern you. However, having to keep up with many comments and/or critiques after a paper is published would be very tiring. The metrics by which academics are measured for their employment are heavily biased towards publishing a lot of papers, and having to spend a lot of time curating old work would be detrimental to anybody's career. (These metrics are also a reason that people would rather write a new paper to build on the old, rather than incorporating it into an existing work). Another issues is papers with many authors: do they all need to agree on a change to have it merged? How often do you want to try to contact 10 people in 4 different timezones to debate about minor changes to old research?

I also don't really understand how a system like this would address the problem of fraudulent papers in a better way than is done today, which (as far as I am aware) is academics contacting journals to get the papers retracted.

I don't think it's a bad idea, but it is so far away from how people publish today that many things (journals, metrics, work loads) are against you.
