I really don't appreciate you misusing the term since I've had to deal with actual gaslighting in real life. You cannot be gaslit by some random stranger making a single post on the internet. This isn't an obsessed stalker that we're talking about here, it's just a one-off comment that will probably be glanced over and then never thought of again, if it's ever read at all.

Gaslighting is something that happens over a long period of time, with someone you know well and that you trust. The person you are defending is not going to be questioning their sanity or who they are as a person because of one HN post.

Asking someone to reconsider why they were treated a certain way by other people is not gaslighting. Calling someone a liar is not gaslighting. Countering someone's anecdotal evidence with your own is not gaslighting. Please stop trivializing the term, because it's a serious form of emotional and mental abuse, and you're downplaying its severity by tossing the word around like this.
Don't put management on your resume. Most people see "manager" on a resume and assume you're not technical enough. Focus on technical skills that you did at jobs and start doing your own work at home to get up to speed so you can answer relevant questions in interviews.
In blender at least you can specify the size of any primitive, measure the length of any edge, measure between any two points, move a vertice, object, or face by a specified amount etc. so this is just not true for blender at least. You can also annotate any dimension easily with a dynamically updating annotation. What you can't do easily (unless you're prepared to do some serious python scripting) is parametric / constraints based modelling because it's not a parametric modelling program. I'm not sure what else you'd want.

As to why visualisation folk don't care about dimensional accuracy, we do when necessary, but unless we're designing for 3d printing there's no point in worrying about things like clearances and tolerances since we're not making a physical object. Also, especially if we're doing arcvis, the demand is to knock out large quantities of models very quickly, not produce a perfect replica. I'm not going to worry about the exact dimensions of a piece of complex equipment or furniture I'm modelling if I need to produce a fully textured model in under an hour.

Your resume looks a lot like mine. Just replace the 18 by 19 and change a few details and we could be twins.

It is incredibly hard to find contracts and jobs. "Normal" resumes let you slot into something at this time in your career where everybody knows what they are getting. With you, it's a risk -- at your best you will be brilliant and double their revenue, at your worst you could destroy the company in a year. Nobody wants to take on that kind of risk, even though it might be the best hiring decision they ever make, so your resume will be passed over. Every single time.

It's not that you don't want to fit in to corporate life: you probably genuinely want to get a job right now so that you can have some assurance of income and stability in case you get sick, asset protection, etc. etc. It's just that, well... I predict that you just simply won't be able to, no matter how hard you try; no matter how important it is to you to keep a job or a contract. You won't even recognise what it is that you are doing that causes friction and problems. It's another universe, and you haven't lived in that universe enough to absorb its norms and culture. You are an alien.

What I did after failing on the "get a job" route: I put together enough "product stuff" quickly that I was able to get a buy-out and then act in a senior role in the buying company for a while. A year in a corporate role, and you'll remember why you never wanted that life 18 years ago. So, no, this route doesn't work either and I don't really have any answers to your problem yet. Sorry.

Gig platforms might work for you, because then nobody needs to know how old you are or what else you can do.

Are you sure you can't scale or grow your consulting/development/training business? Just have a coffee with every single customer you've ever dealt with that remembers you and see what happens. It will be easier than trying to get a job or a long-term contract.

Feel free to message me to talk further.
The key part: "those who previously worked at Hacking Team (despite the fact that they have no current affiliation with Hacking Team), will transition out"

To earn a living, I suppose they will have to go back to hacking. Maybe they will end up as contractors somewhere in the Middle East, such as Dubai.
Maybe it's because I'm a physicist and not a software engineer, but it's nice to know how things work all the way down even if in the end, a phenomenological model is all you need to do your work.
> Is there a solution for the fact that all of your accounts will be secured by the same "source"?

2FA is still an option (e.g. 1 thing that you have + 1 thing that you know), with the hardware token representing a more secure alternative to phone SMS messages.

> Isn't this almost close to using the same password on every site?

To get the a shared password, you have to hack one of hundreds of different services that password is used on, or phish the user, and penetration often goes undetected for years.

To get the physical secret, you have to rob the user, who will notice they've been robbed the next time they attempt to login. Additionally, trying to login to a phishing website won't automatically auth them with the real website - I can't do secure key exchange algorithms in my head, but a hardware device can.

> And not just short-term value, but the amortized value of the company in perpuitity.

But this is what they characteristically fail at, or are given strong incentives not to do.

For example, one of the best things a stable, mature company can do is to just keep operating its business, making profits and returning the profits to the shareholders. Then the shareholders can use the money for whatever is most efficient, e.g. investing it in other companies with better growth potential. But the tax laws in the US punish that severely as compared with wasteful empire building or subsidiary shell games that warehouse cash in foreign subsidiaries in lower tax jurisdictions. Returning profits to shareholders gets taxed twice. Hoarding or wastefully/inefficiently spending the money doesn't get taxed at all. So they do the dumb stuff, and Apple holds onto a pile of cash the size of a mountain even though they're not actually doing anything productive with it.

You also have all kinds of problems with time frames. There are many things you can do to a company that will increase quarterly profits, like raising prices on customers that require a long lead time to switch to a competitor. Things like that may increase profits for years as the locked-in customers pay the price for as long as it takes them to transition to another vendor. But then the business starts to implode as the customers gradually all leave, and the same long lead time that kept them from quickly switching away (plus the damage you've done to your reputation) keeps them from quickly switching back. You can see this in, for example, Oracle's share of the database market slowly descending down a cliff.

And in general there are just information problems. Shareholders make decisions based on public information, but there is so much more involved in a company's operations than is described in those statements that it's easy for bad managers to waste or steal resources or otherwise make short-sighted decisions without ever getting held to account, and many incentives for them to do so, particularly when their current bonuses are tied to current-term numbers and not long-term numbers.
While shrinking agricultural subsidies from a glance looks like a great way to save a lot of money, the reality of it is not so simple. Those agricultural subsidies are THE reason we don't regularly experience large spikes in food prices and have regular and expected small famines, similar to other regular market fluctuations. And if we do experience a famine from say poor rainfall, or bad storms while nor producing any extra, then we will have almost nobody to turn to to import food from since almost all of our major trading partners are importing our food and have little to export. Not to mention the security risk it posses to be low on food, and further the civil uprisings that desperation would inevitably cause. The vast majority of uprisings and civil revolts throughout history have been triggered by food shortages and famine. The reason agricultural subsidies were initially implemented was to prevent civil strife and rebellion; farmers not losing their asses so bad from a badly timed market shift was just a side benefit.

The point I am making is that no driver would ever want to work for Uber if Uber really was that bad. Turns out, drivers evaluated the pros and cons, and decided that regardless of their current treatment it is still better to be an Uber driver rather than going to work for somebody else.

I will leave the matter of discussing the legality of how they treat their contractors to our courts. But it's a fact that thousands of drivers still think it's worth driving for Uber regardless of any legal controversy that may (or may not) exist.

Zhou defeated Shang, but the culture is inherited like the Chinese Characters.

Dynasty usually in China doesn't category as one civilization, it is just a episode in the Chinese history. And this is not a modern invention either, China has the great tradition of 修史, literaly meaning the making of history, which means the later dynasty is responsible of recording the official history of previous dynasty, and by doing so it is treated as a testament to the current dynasty's legimacy.

Interestingly, even PRC is somewhat inherited this tradition, where an official account of Qing's history is set to publish this year, which is almost 30 million characters long.
It’s been more than 15 years and my memory is hazy. The part I remember is recognizing his name.

But I don’t know. We were a company that provided cloud computing services and he had previously plead guilty to computer hacking crimes.

That's not a very good picture but they still look less crude than those drug patches. Google image search for "nasa embroidered mission patches" has better images than that for comparison, basically all look better than the drug ones, many by a wide margin.
The middle of nowhere? Do you even know the area at all? It's right next to the twin cities which has a metro population of 4 million people, home to many multi billion dollar companies (Cargill, Target, Best Buy, 3M, United Health Group, U. S. Bancorp, General Mills, shall I go on?).

Many things in a small city are supported solely by property taxes, to which Google would not contribute at all for at least two decades yet gain all of the benefits from. This is not fair to anyone else in the city who is paying those taxes for those benefits. It's better to just not have them exploiting the city's resources for free.
>The cause of smell in the bottles likely came from a compressed air filtering system in the facility that produced the water, according to CFIA files. The air tank was replaced with a new system later in 2015.

Which means no one checked or replaced any of the filters for so long that the system got so badly damaged it needed to be replaced. Water and air filters in compressed air systems start looking like old cigarette butts after about a month and need to be changed regularly.

You know how when you shit sometimes the water can splash back on your anus? I don't know if that can transmit HIV or any other diseases, but I'd rather not happen to me when I'm in a public toilet. Well if you put some toilet paper on the surface of the water it can prevent the splashing. It will increase the chance of clogging though.
> Is it true to say that China is the longest surviving civilization?

Not really. The Chinese tend to emphasize viewing their history through a lens of continuity and a single notional empire whereas the Western history tends to view their history as discontinuous and fractured empires. But when you start comparing the actual effects of these empires and their rises and falls, they are actually much more similar.

For example, after the Crisis of the Third Century, the Roman Empire was effectively partitioned into a Western and Eastern Empire. The Western Empire proceeded to decentralize itself out of existence over the course of the fourth and fifth centuries, but it recoalesced under the Merovingian and Carolingian dynasties into the Holy Roman Empire by 800 (before splitting up into effectively a Frankish kingdom and the Germanic kingdom of the HRE). The Eastern Roman Empire lasted until around 1200, when the Fourth Crusade conquered it instead (a conquest which didn't last, but the Byzantines never recovered and the Ottomans finally put them out of their misery 250 years later). It's worth noting that pretty much all of the people I've cited considered themselves the true heirs of the Roman Empire.

Meanwhile in China, the Han dynasty crashed hard in the early 200s, with three major successor states cropping up. One of these managed to conquer the others, so the successive dynasty was the Jin dynasty. Of course, the Jin last control of most of their territory, which fragmented into the Sixteen Kingdoms, but the entire era is still called the Jin dynasty. After the final collapse of the Jin, the north/south dichotomy continued with the Northern and Southern dynasties, which is again a successive series of powers vying for control eventually coalescing into the Sui dynasty after one wins out, which quickly transitions to the Tang dynasty, the first truly unified China since the fall of the Han dynasty. After about 300 years, the Tang dynasty collapses into a major period of disunity, the next truly unified China again taking 300 years to crop up again.

There's a lot of similarity. The major difference is that Western Europe never reunified into a single unitary state (unless you want to count the extremely short lived Napoleonic Empire and Third Reich). But Western Europe did have a successor state that directly retained the traditions from the Roman Empire (namely, the Byzantines) and could plausibly claim to have no break in continuity (the Byzantines never called themselves anything other than the Roman Empire), and all of the major successor states directly drew inspiration and customs from the Roman Empire, rather like China. The writing system, the state religion, the bureaucratic apparatus, the legal system--all of these are derived from the Roman Empire in Western Europe, just as much as they are derived from the Qin and Han dynasties in China.

Greeks don't count, then? They have the oldest recorded living language. Give me a metric of how China is a civilization that doesn't make Greece also a civilization. Really they're just land masses with specific ethnic groups and traditions. Greek traditions have probably changed a lot more than Chinese traditions over 3,000 years, but much change determines a civilization?
The reality is that Coinbase through their due diligence process had to have known about these ties and how they may have been perceived by the media/crypto community and yet proceeded to buy it anyway because they are desperate to list new tokens to shore up declining revenue.

The deal was already signed...Coinbase can't just back out because they miscalculated the backlash despite the background of the founders being well known. The acquired team probably just gets to vest immediately and leave Coinbase without having to work for them.

> user configurable keyboard shortcuts

This is one of those things that's sorely missing for me. Firefox has keyboard shortcuts for most things I want to do in it, but they're often really inconvenient and I'd like to be able to change them to match those in other tools I often use.

Some other things I'd love to see in a browser:

- A command palette to make functionality & shortcuts more discoverable

- Fuzzy tab search and switcher

- Customizable split panes

On the whole I think browsers could benefit a lot by learning from UX patterns in modern editors like Atom/VSCode.
