P.S. A little about my background.

I'm a high school drop out. I dropped out to support the family. As a result, I felt like I had to work 10x harder than those who attended college. I never hold anything against people who attend college.

I always tell people "You can either pay to learn; going to college. or get paid to learn; working a job." That's my flawed view and for me, it worked well.
stoic philosophy is no good for the mind. actually feeling your emotions is healthy. it's stuffing them down that makes people crazy or likewise numbed out. this is a difficult truth to understand.

vaping is a poison - clearly. addictions just keep you on the cycle.

real acceptance is powerful but it comes from a place of being connected to yourself which means your emotions. trying to suppress them isn't living since you are suppressing your very nature.
> Working longer hours for 4 days, avoiding some of that peak commute stress ...

You're spot on here. The option to travel before/after the rush makes a world of difference.

I'm a freelancer/consultant and I've found that when I'm working as a "vendor", as opposed to a "temporary employee" working on-site during normal business hours, and only need to be on-site for meetings and such, I don't mind commuting at all and actually look forward to heading into the city. Novelty aside, I'm sure this is because I'm usually traveling before (heading to a cafe to prepare for an early meeting) or after (late meeting) the rush and can find a seat, have room to breath, etc. However, when I'm stuck doing the 8/9/10-5/6/7 commute, I find the train/subway ride (and myself) miserable.
It's a brilliant cynical play by Mark Zuckerberg. First of all, he knows that there is no universe in which the United States government could legally enforce the same global standards of speech as China (Taiwan, Tibet, Muslims, Churches are all verboten) or even Germany (where Mein Kampf has been illegal until the last two years) Second, this proposal It also would put speech enforcement into the hands of FAANG, and we can ask James Damore how tolerant google is of speech that differs from their founders personal beliefs or that detracts from their profits.

He's open to GDPR, but only if the same standards work everywhere, and only if it shuts down everyone who doesn't have Facebook's capabilities to adhere and lobby against laws. Of course, the focus isn't on minimizing data, but rather making sure that data can flow cleanly between the monopolists.

I’m going to sound like a broken record on my HN comments and he may end up being completely full of shit, but right now I think that description fits Pete Buttigieg to a tee. You can find plenty of flattering coverage of him if you Google, so I won’t link to any of that. Instead I’ll link to a take down of Buttigieg that you can contrast against the flattering coverage of him.

As far as I can tell, media never says the bald truth that everyone knows in the back of their heads -

We live in an extremely competitive world where we must fight for our livelihoods. The majority of non-white-collar jobs are worse than whatever crap we have to put up with in the good jobs - they get treated worse, paid less, and have less prospects to escape their situation. So every high-paying becomes increasingly competitive, and you cannot realistically spend too little time working or push back too much because you will be replaced. Employers have always been tyrannical to the greatest degree they can get away with, and they will always do so. They don't care, they will squeeze everything they can out of you. Only reason some programmers have it good for now is extremely short supply, and thats quickly changing as more people rush into the field.

That entire structure makes things very convenient for the rich people at the top. As long as there are enough people stuck in dead-end situations, they can simply pay a little better and have a supply of people willing to do anything - program weapons or junk ads, work 80 hours/week whatever. Its a question of power plain & simple and its frankly ridiculous how many hoops people collectively jump through to avoid facing that fact.
O'Rourke just finished a huge campaign for the Senate in November, I assume it's that and not his just-launched presidential bid.

I'm glad you like it. Yes it can :) Keep in mind it's still beta. There's still more work that needs to be done. But if you have any questions just open up an issue on github or email me. My email is on the bottom of the website.
In order to prevent two keys being active simultaneously, the Selectric had a linear track full of steel balls running from side to side, with just enough free space to allow a metal tab from a single key to enter. So locking the keyboard was just a matter of having a solenoid occupy the free space.
This post is obviously in error, but I suspect it won't go over well there. You probably want to remove this from here.

It's surprising that someone as wealthy and famous as Jeff Bezos would be storing such photos on his phone.

I already kind of treat my phone as though it's public domain. The amount of software which runs on most devices today is unfathomable. Keeping your devices completely secure seems almost impossible.
Those kanjis are probably already encoded anyway.
Seem like as good a starting point for a discussion as anything, although you have to wonder what set of policies the Facebook-is-literally-cancer crowd would actually be happy with.

As summarized by the BBC, calling for the following things:

* Common rules that all social media sites need to adhere to, enforced by third-party bodies, to control the spread of harmful content

* All major tech companies to release a transparency report every three months, to put it on a par with financial reporting

* Stronger laws around the world to protect the integrity of elections, with common standards for all websites to identify political actors

* Laws that not only apply to candidates and elections, but also other "divisive political issues", and for laws to apply outside of official campaign periods

* New industry-wide standards to control how political campaigns use data to target voters online

* More countries to adopt privacy laws like the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into force last year

* A "common global framework" that means these laws are all standardised globally, rather than being substantially different from country to country

* Clear rules about who's responsible for protecting people's data when they move it from one service to another
This seems WAY low to me. I ran many projects for companies. $150 is the rate they pay for 3-4 years experience from consulting firms. You should start at ~ $240 and let them negotiate you down.

Never be afraid of letting them pay you more!
My browsing habits are pretty regular, though: there’s half a dozen sites I visit regularly and the rest are random blogs/etc. I suspect about 20% of the domains I visit account for 80% of my browsing traffic and there would be enormous benefits from a dns speed perspective to a local caching resolver.
DNSCrypt only provides authentication, not confidentiality, and it’s only between the client and the recursive server. So it doesn’t address either the performance or the privacy concern of routing all your DNS through someone else’s recursive servers.

Edit: apparently it encrypts traffic as well:

https://dnscrypt.info/faq/

So it’s comparable to DoH which prevents your ISP from snooping but per my other comments here doesn’t address the privacy concern of now having to trust the upstream resolver.
Unicode + UCP is a perfectly principled thing, but it wasn't a design point that made any sense for Hyperscan as a default. The bulk of our customers were not interested in turning 1 state for ASCII \w into 600 states for UCP \w unless it was free.

I think both Glushkov and Thompson can be done fast, but I agree that they are both going to be Really Big for UCP stuff. Idle discussions among the ex-Hyperscan folks generally leans towards 'NFA over codepoints' being the right way of doing things.

Occam's razor suggests if you do only 1 thing in a regex system (i.e. designing for simplicity/elegance, which would be an interesting change after Hyperscan) it must be NFA, as not all patterns determinize. If you are OK with a lazy DFA system that can be made to create a new state per byte of input (in the worst case) then I guess you can do that too.

I am not sure how to solve the problem of "NFA over codepoints", btw. Having no more than 256 distinct characters was easy, but even with remapping, the prospect of having to handle arbitrary Unicode is... unnerving.
> Another point to consider is that the more the internet is regulated, the more difficult it is for new entrants to compete , as they have to comply first with existing laws. This is an easy way for incumbents to protect themselves from potentially swift-footed competitors.

Perhaps the regulations could be written to be more onerous for the incumbents to implement?

E.g. a new entrant below a certain size is allowed to get away with a good-faith effort and only subject to small fines, while an incumbent is required to have a massive and empowered internal compliance bureaucracy and is subject to massive fines when non-compliant.
Most serious companies have ethical policies that would require disclosure of such a scheme (as in, if you are targeting me, and giving me a gift, I need to tell my boss) and others will flat out deny or disallow such gifts.
I'm surprised that open source gives you peace of mind when your business relies on it.

What do you suggest CEOs of big companies should use to communicate with other people? They need phones and laptops. If you trust it with company data why wouldn't you trust it with your private data? It's nice to separate the two but that's besides the point.
> But a day rate works differently; it basically says that for the duration of the contract, you will get paid each day you're on contract, regardless of the actual number of hours worked. You might work more than 8 hours a day, you might work less. Either way, you get paid for the day.

Can you explain the advantages daily billing has overly hourly billing when the client has a constant stream of work to keep you busy?

Sounds like the main benefit is if a client interrupts your day with only a single hour of work to do, you can bill them more? Apart from that, doesn't it still have the downsides of having to keep timesheets, having to justify your hours and working faster means you earn less?
The 1-900 number as other poster mentioned is an obvious "premium rate number" [0] but there are also others which are typically used for scams which are assigned to Caribbean countries. [1] [2] I have no idea how to acquire one of those and how to link it to your SIM card or land-line.

>Consumers usually receive a message telling them to call a phone number with an 809, 284, 649, or 876 area code in order to collect a prize, find out information about a sick relative, etc. The caller assumes the number is a typical three-digit U.S. area code; however, the caller is actually connected to a phone number outside the United States, often in Canada or the Caribbean, and charged international call rates.

>The 876 area code has been linked to a form of telephone fraud known as the "one ring scam". The person perpetuating the scam calls the victim via a robodialer or similar means, sometimes at odd hours of the night, then hangs up when the phone is answered with the hope that they will be curious enough to call the number back. When the victim does this, an automatic $19.95 international call fee is charged to their account, as well as $9/min thereafter. Similar scams have been linked to Grenada (area code 473), Antigua (268), the Dominican Republic (809, 829, and 849), and the British Virgin Islands (284). [2]

You're in luck - this killer feature doesn't even need a plugin in vim. Just type `:make` and you'll get taken to the first build error.
> perform worse at your current job by putting in less hours

Citation needed.

Edit: So self-evident is this equation to some people that they down vote the mere suggestion that working longer hours does not make you better at your job.
I wasn't disputing the possibility of that, I was disputing the possibility of coming out $60K/year ahead by renting a $1M house instead of buying it.

Thanks for trying to find a vegan solution for your specific needs. Many people wouldn't have even clicked that link.

> above average programmers, if nothing else than because they are engaged

But are you really "above average" if you are incapable of actually producing something large scale because your temperament is such that you can't stand working in a "boring" "unproductive" language?

It's sort a tortoise or hare type situation: the hare runs really fast but if that doesn't win you the race, who cares? There is an even rarer breed of programmer who operates as both the tortoise or the hare. Those are the true "above average" programmers in my view, but you can pretty much exclude the elite crowd of folks who "refuse to program in Java" or will confine their entire job search to companies that use their favorite language from that category.
I'd really like it if there was an easy way for "ordinary" consumers to setup a web/email/etc. server on, say, an AWS or GCP instance. Wouldn't exactly be decentralized, but it'd give users more control.
I don’t think you read the article! Gavin clearly says that’s not what happened!!
All the filtering you're doing on pihole you can do in uBlock. You're just using different lists. (or not refreshing your adblocker list very often?) DNS blocking is still useful for things like mobile apps, but if you want to remove a few ms from your page loads, then merging your entries into uBlock may be a good idea.
I talk a little about why in my "fearless SIMD" blog post (also introducing a prototype that wraps the unsafety but at the moment is very limited in exactly what SIMD operations are exposed). https://raphlinus.github.io/rust/simd/2018/10/19/fearless-si...
I think the reason you can end up justifying anything you want in ethics is because you're trying to explain something that's undecidable. You need to pit different interests of people against one another and then find out which one is more important. It's like comparing apples and oranges - you can do it, but the result is going to be colored by the biases you think are important to compare. It's not going to be a fully objective comparison.

The real world is a highly complex system. So complex in fact that the basic principles get lost in the noise of everything going on in the world.
IMHO inbound calls should have negative price for everybody by default. Phone network operators should raise prices for calling people and share part of this money with the recipient.
Maybe. Many sites use pretty short TTLs. So your sites may be dropping out of your cache more frequently than you think.

Easy to test though. Run dnsmasq and enable query logging and see how often it’s having to forward requests. Then realize a recursing resolver is potentially having to go all the way to the TLDs for those requests.

In the phrase "cut me some slack", the speaker is asking for more slack. It's like "give me a slice of meat" or "cut some meat for me".

>Entitlement has no legitimate place in such a pursuit, simply because it incredibly counterproductive.

Entitlement has no place in such a pursuit because entitlement implies a right of ownership, but a human being is not an abstract concept like "liberty" or "happiness" or an inanimate object like a plot of land that lacks agency or can be owned by another person.

No one, regardless of gender, stats or status, is entitled to anything in regards to a relationship with other people. Certainly not to sex.
> Our investigators and several experts concluded with high confidence that the Saudis had access to Bezos’ phone, and gained private information. As of today, it is unclear to what degree, if any, AMI was aware of the details.

Note the words "Had access to Bezos' phone". E2E encryption means bugger all when someone has access to one end. There's other comments in the article that give the impression Bezos' phone was compromised.
The only chance we have for people to run their own services is if we make it dead easy to do so and the advantages are clearly communicated.

Thanks for suggesting simple-peer. But as far as I can see it does not offer a simple signaling approach like PeerJS. In PeerJS you can just use a simple ID to connect two peers. Either by using the public PeerJS signaling Server or by hosting your own instance.
If even half of this is true we clearly need stronger encryption and security, not back-doors and anti-encryption laws.

Democracy depends on freedom of expression, freedom of association, and privacy - all of which are threatened by espionage and blackmail.
There is a less cynical version of this that is closer to the truth. Because $bigcorp is big there is proportionately much more money at stake if software suddenly becomes unmaintainable. There are various forms of insurance you can take out against that, but one is definitely "Yes I could pay a really expensive consulting company to front up 5 developers within 24 hours that could diagnose a problem in my code the day after my 3l1te dev team lead quit to join $startup". I am betting you would think this way too if you were in charge of such a team / product. It is a completely logical form of risk management.
No, they didn't state in the article the evidence because it has been handed over to the authorities to deal with. It is now an active investigation.
maybe it should have been noticed

It's a study presented at some conference so while not exactly the Higgs boson, they're showing other people data and the conclusions they derived from it. It's 100% their job to understand what their data measures and to notice that one of the measurements is completely bogus for their purposes. The fact other people hadn't necessarily noticed on messageboards before is mildly curious but it's not really their job.
How I got my credit fixed in 3 days
There's something i would like to share as i promised i would if it worked out. I was always skeptical of these services but after seeing my cousin testify to a hacker's service i decided to give this hacker a try, and he didn't disappoint. Before i emailed him i had hard inquiries, and he cleared those within 3 days including raising my credit score to a golden score and assisted me in secure a loan. This experience i can never forget. For those who need his information, anonymouscreditrepairer [at] gmail [dot] com is the email, i reached him at. I now have an awesome professional relationship with him so you can tell him i referred you

I do not believe in blind fate, but common sense. You can extrapolate the future following the trends just like Jules Verne did.

Take for example smartphones and tablets. After the "one computer in every desktop" was accomplished, it was obvious that one computer in every pocket was going to be the next big thing.

So companies like Microsoft invested billions of dollars in that (think in Pocket PCs and TabletPCs).

The vision became a reality and today all of us could have a GPS, cameras and more computer power that desktops had 10 years ago incredibly cheap.

We humans tend to believe only in what we can see, but some people just see the future possibilities just like they are realities. It is not like these people, the visionaries, have more faith than normal people, but that they see the future as real as if it exist here.

Of course watching the future as real have lots of problems in real life, specially when this people have to live along people only interested on reality, like doing the laundry or searching for a better "real job" instead of following "dreams".

Are you seriously suggesting that in lieu of cutting the problem off at the source by NOT giving a dangerous man like MBS nuclear weapons, we should rely on other nations in the region to clean up the mess?
I'm not exactly certain if your reply addresses my distinction between what is good for the entire body of founders (and the VC's who invest in them) and what is good for each individual founder.
