> A business is free to choose their compensation model.

But they are not. Your compensation model generally cannot include such things as slavery, child labour, prostitution... Many places place limits on the amount of interest that may be charged on a loan.

A business is free to choose their compensation model within the confines of what the law allows. In case of the GDPR it disallows paying through PII. Thus a business is not free to choose this model.
> many of the ads I get are in languages I do not understand

Curious...that's not a problem I see much, if at all. If sites simply display ads that are in the same language as their primary content, surely that shouldn't be much of an issue? Or are you in the habit of visiting sites you don't understand?
And everything that will be invented has been invented.

I'm going to guess that something in the future will be revolutionary. It might just be a while. Humans went millennia without electricity, and then everything kinda shot up- I wouldn't be surprised if humanity takes another step up the QoL stairs in a couple hundred years.
Well... they asked for feedback. But I do find many, many people on HN are far ruder than they would be to a friend presenting the same thing, which distresses me.

OTOH I expect anything I submit to HN to get treated with the same kind of brutality, but what I get in return is the attention of some of the smartest people on the Net. It’s a painful trade off but it does help you to expect hurt feelings going in.
I went on angry binge where I Ubuntu finally pushed me over the edge with it's latest... och. Between that and systemd, I've starting to dislike Linux, pretty much for the first time since I started using Linux back in the early 90's.

The second real, functional, genuinely working docker support shows up in *BSD and is working - I'll be running it on my desktop.
The reality is that people simply can (or think that they can) afford more these days on the one hand, and the actual building costs are lower on the other due to cheaper material and more effective techniques.
Every generation owes the next generation a world that is in as good of condition as when they received it. Anything else is taking out a loan in the next generation’s name.
I get that especially families in some regions having countless kids is probably not helping all of us. But not wanting kids to make the world a better place is having it backwards. We need to make the world a better place precisely for our kids.

Leaving a mark by keeping our evolutionary branch going (aka kids, their kids and so on) is pretty much the only task we got from life. Everything else we are, feel and have accomplished exists exclusively to achieve this goal and won't have mattered the day the last of whatever we consider "us" dies.
Odd name. I thought it was an alternate taking of "dexter" so instead of "Pokedex" this was "Pokester". So I was confused this wasn't related to Pokedexes at all.

I think any name beginning with "Poke-" of 3 syllables or more is going to get people thinking of Pokemon.

Or even the next day ;)
Quality of community colleges vary greatly and these days you're just as likely to find one that's almost as predatory as a for profit college. They promise kids a great future and sign them up for as many student loans as they can. Then they feed them a canned curriculum from one of the major textbook publishers (with expensive digital content). Everyone passes just for asking. It's quickly becoming a racket thanks to "performance" based funding, but hey, they make lots of graduates now.
Is there something like this (or trello), that you can self-host on a site? I appreciate that these sites provide free accounts etc, but I am in an association and we have our own simple site already with no advertising or tracking. It would be nice to be able to collaborate internally. I did set up a wiki on another site a few years ago, but I recall it being a bit of faff to set up (wikis being generally aimed at being open, not private)
I think software systems whose failure directly jeopardizes human lives should be engineered, and should be defined and enforced legally. Systems that don't directly risk human life should not be so constrained.

Defining that standard and enforcing it is a huge task which could easily go very wrong.

Businesses would of course be free to apply the "engineered" standard to any systems they choose to. Outside of mission-critical systems operating at gigantic scale (FAAMANG-level) I doubt it would often be profitable to do that.

The hypothetical standard would also be less relevant when building proofs-of-concept, so long as the POC is not usefully deployable (if it is there's risk of someone deploying it despite it being unsafe).

In the end, most software does not put human lives directly at risk. Acting like it does would waste resources and doom many small businesses whose profit margins couldn't absorb the costs of genuine engineering (it could kill several companies I have worked for).

Even software systems that do risk human lives don't do so in all subsystems - as far as I know, painting a mural in your skyscraper's lobby requires no engineers to be involved. Similar distinctions may be reasonable in sufficiently-isolated components of software packages that do some life-protection tasks. Maybe allow a formal verification to show that subsystem X cannot impact the critical subsystems and therefore does not need the same level of rigor?
For the CVEs, it's the comments like this: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/5998#issuecomment-30...

(Just in case, this is an security issue because it enables constant dosing, as well as clears the resolver cache making spoofing easier)
I'm curious because this seems to vary greatly between companies - what is the difference at YC between the roles of CEO and President?
I use ELK for Kubernetes and network device logs, and I'm very much with you -- full text search is great, but it sure can be slow, even when running on $1000/month of AWS hardware.

The conclusion that I've reached is that the whole lucene model for logs is kind of outdated. Why am I tuning Java GC params to run "grep foo /logs". I think computers today can do fine with sharded flat files, a minimal index ("which node contains logs from pod foo-2387438-2384738 at 12:34AM"), and then just scale horizontally over (log messages, searches).

I hope my friends over at Tailscale are doing that and I can just move off ES entirely ;)
Nobody said they did. You’re putting words in my mouth. The ease of use with 2-3 directives in a way that just works is what they brought to the table.
Imagine previous generations that were being drafted to the army to go off to WW2, Korea, Vietnam. Ah yes but Millennials have flat wages and expensive college. We've failed them all.
So you're suggesting we should let them off for being incompetent?

A quick look at the list of CVEs in the grandparent comment indicates that there are at least 3 different Assigning CNAs for systemd CVEs: MITRE Corporation, Red Hat, Inc. and Canonical Ltd.

My conclusion is that the systemd project is not its own CNA and therefore not in a position to authoritatively decide which systemd bugs get CVE numbers assigned and which do not.
I happily live in an old cottage with lots of small rooms. I like it that way because there's some privacy and always a quiet space to go to. I have a friend who has knocked through their ground floor and now it's impossible to watch TV at his house while anyone is cooking or talking around their dining table. I guess it's a matter of preference, but mine is firmly against open plan.

Actually now I've written that, I guess it's really not that dissimilar to the open office plan arguments.
They claim "median personal income for ALL AGES us up 394.4% since 1977". However a quick check on FRED [0] tells me this figure is way off:

1977: $23,202

2016: $31,099 (2017 not available in the data)

~34% increase

They said they had sources but I only see sources for the price of bread claim. Maybe they aren't looking at real wages? In which case the claim is very misleading.
I also agree twitter's thread layout is hard to follow.

Why? Then you have to run the whole thing in Docker. That's a wholly unnecessary extra dependency.

Besides, this modality of installation already has precedent with Brew and Rust.
Downvote away, I laughed a good one.
I swear when the weather’s good it doesn’t look a day over 9 billion around here.
Things are only getting better for those blatantly out of touch with the reality of lower classes. Wages are not rising when you factor in Inflation[1], for some portions of the country even going down in buying power since the early 70's. Nearly half of Americans are poor or low income [2].

They’re advertisers, but (mostly) without the contract, steady income and outright obviousness to their target audience.

Traditional ads are marked as ads and given generally separate spaces. This generation is all about “normal” people trying to organically influence people to buy some company’s cheaply made shit. It’s a real thing and it’s working.
The fact remains that the law states you may not do that, and that you must provide the same service - if it's provided "free" with data gathering - without that personal data gathering for those who don't wish to opt-in, and if memory serves not in a degraded manner.

Continue to do so and face the possible consequences, close doors or leave the market, or find an alternative way. Just as happens with other laws.

Businesses are not completely free to choose their compensation model - many places have long standing laws against unreasonable rates of interest or other illegal terms, discrimination etc. This is just another more recent limit.
The full quote is "In some important ways, my generation has failed you", which I think drastically changes the meaning from the one in the headline, which is clickbaity.
I find the site super helpful, so thanks for your work!

Have you considered letting people also report refresher equity grants? It would be interesting to see how they vary at different companies.

Another thing I’ve noticed on other tech career forums, is that a lot of people seem to report their equity based on the value it had once it vested rather than the value at the time of the initial grant, which obviously can inflate the numbers since the same growth isn’t guaranteed going forward. Any sense if this happens much with levels.fyi data?
Meanwhile, I am trying to move out from the industry into the academia (physics), as what I am curious about is not satisfied by the industry jobs. To each their own, I guess.
Except the economies of scale aren't there to benefit much from replacing a train driver who is carrying multiple thousands of people per day.
How are those new products. Like I said those are just iterations of old ones.
safety factor less than 1? you're planning that the thing will break early?
The one recommendation: Reduce Your Online Footprint, is in my opinion most important. I am nearing retirement (from

I signed my Google offer when GOOG was at $500 about 4 years ago, and it's over $1,100 now. About a third of my offer was in stock, so some of these high numbers are just the result of the stock price rising. I wouldn't expect new hires at those levels to make those amounts, although they seem accurate to me for current employees.
> but only the biopsy needs to be weighed against risk, not the scan.

You're setting an arbitrary boundary because you don't want to consider the downsides. If you set the same boundary on the benefits of the MRI, then you wouldn't be able to include treatment of cancer as part of the upside to doing an MRI scan.

Doctors are far wiser about these things than HN commenters that have never dealt with the complex tradeoffs of dealing not only with populations of people, but also with dealing with the psychology of humans beyond people that prioritize rationality over everything else.

Doctors are responsible for treating all of humanity, not just the subset that behave the way we want them to.
>I don't feel particularly concerned by the espoused narrative that skill is being replaced by drama on TV.

This isn't even that new; your post reminds me of Orange County Choppers, supposedly a show about custom-made motorcycles. I tried watching this once or twice, many years ago (10+), when it first came out, thinking I'd get to see some interesting welding and such. No, I just saw a bunch of yelling and arguing. And this was on the "Discovery Channel".
You would still allow imports of oil from countries that don't participate in the ban, with high tariffs added. This would still make oil available for medical use cases etc.

The bottom line is the only way to prevent oil from being turned into CO2 is to simply leave the oil in the ground.

Wow so cool.
Any summary on how the algorithm works roughly?
Definitely, I was simplifying a little. For that project we actually were using separate Envoy deployments per team/service. Also needed for grpc-web support, and has a json to grpc transcoder.

We could have bypassed this by having a single pool of shared Envoy instances for ingress, but at the time we wanted to avoid the complexity of multiple teams managing a single Envoy configuration. In the next year we'll hopefully switch to Istio, which will help with the multi-tenant configuration management.
Is it just me, or do the cloud images look different even without a wide color gamut display (I have a MacBook Pro from 2015).
I’m insanely self-critical. I had to look up the Dunning-Kruger effect and believe me, it’s about the last of the (many) problems I’m likely to encounter.

My point is simply that if I see people dumber than I am succeeding in something I’m trying, then I know there’s a path to success for me. Knowing that I can exchange work and time for success is my security blanket.
I could see tons of options in the logistics space!

Even just as a display that you don't need to hold with your hands would improve things a lot in my opinion.

A typical 3pl is taking in a trailer, scanning cartons and sorting/stacking/palletising/moving cartons all over the warehouse. I used to write software that would allow people to scan those cartons and it would tell them what to do with it.

Unfortunately a device in your hand takes up a hand that can be used to move the box.

A finger laser scanner combined with a "head mounted display" like glass would be a gamechanger and could really speed things up and reduce lost or misrouted cartons.

There are other options, but they all have drawbacks. Fully-automated scanner/sorters are crazy expensive and often jam/clog or drop/destroy cartons, plus they require costly integration with 3pl software to run. Scanners can be mounted to the backs of your hands, but they are then cumbersome to use and aim, and often they need to be removed or put down anyway when doing anything complicated. Simple scanning can be done currently with finger-mounted laser scanners and audio cues, but that only gives you a few options (a few tones to signify "good scan", "bad scan", etc...), and if the worker needs to stop to pick up and look at a phone, you are losing time and breaking the flow of the worker.

A head mounted display means you can get detailed information literally while moving the box to the correct spot. And even if they cost $2000 per person, it's still significantly cheaper than a fully automated system, and the 3pl can only get a few if they want and still see benefits.

I really wanted to experiment with Glass or any number of "augmented reality" headsets when I was at that job, but sadly the company was acquired by a large corporation and almost instantly all ability to try new stuff went out the window and I quit.
Okay, some sort of curse is in play here.

Take a screenshot of the full-screen image. Do you see the logo flash?

Zoom in to the image. Do you see the logo appear, but only near the edges of the display?

Computers!
I agree that technological solutions are probably the only thing that is viable. my point is mainly to say that these silly half measures such as carbon taxes are a waste of time and are possibly just making the problem even worse.

The only way to make sure that oil doesn't get turned into CO2 is to simply leave the oil in the ground.
Yes, I grew up in a house with an open floor plan for the first floor and open for the basement too. I never felt like I had any privacy because I could basically hear everything in the house at all times. Never had friends over in my teenage years because the way it was set up, there was no way to spend time with friends without my mom hearing everything
This is gorgeous. It gives me a sense of joy and power when creating the vortices. The white glow seems to burn my eyes, even when I know my screen is not that bright. Feels like I'm a wizard.

Thanks to the creator.
That's false. 5th amendment certainly applies in that (and every other) case where one could incriminate themselves with their testimony.
Countdown Timers for Email
Leaving aside that there are driven people who work their asses off despite having young children, and that "startups consume your life" is the kind of belief VC have an interest in perpetuating, note that Graham in this statement is treating kids as a women's issue.
Ahh OK. So you mean fine-grained selection and routing of log messages.

I'd never thought of that as AOP, but I suppose it is. And I suppose AOP frameworks provide the machinery to do it, without the logging subsystem having to reinvent those wheels.

DHS warns of 'strong concerns' that Chinese-made drones are stealing data
The way I see it, if the adversary is able to remotely access my computer to the extent they're hacking the firmware, my webcam being turned on is the least of my concerns. In my eye, taping the webcam is akin to ROT13'ing my private keys.
Those parent's aren't "conducting medical research," they are believing what they are hearing from sources they trust more than medical researchers (their own friends and families). In fact, it would take more self-confidence in their ability to do research in order for them to learn the information necessary to step back from their community evaluate the risks on their own.
I grew up in a small house in the 90's that was essentially open concept, the small galley kitchen was isolated to one side like a small hallway opposite from the bedroom hallway. But could still see the open space.

Good things:

1. It is nice for entertaining.

2. Easier to keep an eye on children.

3. Flexibility to layout.

---

Issues:

1. How often do you really entertain? Not counting family visits, way less often than you think.

2. You will always be on top of other people. Examples see [2a]

3. Less flexibility than you think, tables and chairs still have to go somewhere.

4. Nowadays it is extremely popular to put a half bath in the large space. I don't like listening to people potty, I don't like being listened to while I potty, and potty smells can linger.

5. Do you like to clean? People today don't just drop by like they used to, a shame really, but any time you think people might be coming by, even just to drop off a small item, the whole area needs to be picked up. When you have separate rooms, you can quickly pile things into that area that your visitors wont see, not so with open concept.

6. Surprise parties are now harder to pull off.

---

[2a] - Say you have company down, and only want to talk to some of them, like when the women want to talk separate from the men. You want to do homework and have a quiet area. You want to read, your kids want to watch the same episode of Mickey Mouse Club House Again. You want to watch the big game, she wants to watch her "stories". You have two teenagers who like to fight for attention, can't separate them far enough with an open space.
You're really not refuting anything here. Whatever bad situation existed with previous startup across, it doesn't excuse bad handling of issues in systemd. Whatever other projects do with CVEs, doesn't excuse Lennart complaining that CVEs should not be raised.

The imperialism part is likely due to score creep into parts they just can't handle well enough. systemd-resolved for example had terrible security and functionality issues still after it was being deployed to many distros. These were simple "point a fuzzer at it and watch it crash" issues which should not be seen in a DNS resolver these days.
For me no, I'm in my early-mid twenties (granted, I've worked at large tech companies) and every interview I've ever been on paid for all the travel related expenses
Tim Cook is 58, so I think it's possible to argue that he's both.
So true. My internal goal is to get to be better than 80% of people in my specialty. I don’t claim to be smarter than the top 5% or so. I just hold onto a work ethic, YT tutorials, and search engine skills. Most people don’t think too much about what they’re doing so you can scrape past the median just by doing that.
What's needed is for the Ignoble Prize people to focus on the people who start this sort of crap, not on humorous low value targets. Really call out the people who contributed negatively to the progress of science.

A cheap esp8266 powered sonoff switch is set to go. The bomb maker just needs to solder the incoming and outgoing lines to clearly marked spots on the board. The switch paired with the eWeLink app on an old throw away Android phone and then the bomb can be set off from anywhere in the world.
I found that talk incredibly condescending. He speaks about launchd as if it’s a good thing but it’s quite universally accepted as a bad thing and apples attempts to upstream the problem to the bsd developers has been met with open hostility.

It’s also to the point where Benno states that people don’t like change, but that’s really not true. Everyone jumped on virtualisation (except Theo De Raat), everyone jumped on containers, Kubernetes, GO, Rust, eBPF et al.

There are new technologies which don’t have to eat the universe to function.

Most people who have a problem with systemd don’t actually hate it, they’re upset because the environment that allowed systemd to grow no longer exists for its replacement. Coupled with the fact that we should really consider systemd a proof-of-concept for something better, means that we’ll be stuck with buggy, weird, non-deterministic C++ for decades.

That’s the root of the problem, not that we nerds dislike change, we tend to love change.
What about having regular full body scans and tracking any anomalies over a period of months or years? You could safely ignore anything that doesn't change, but you would immediately spot any fast growing cancers before it's too late.
Can you dispute the idea that technology, machinery, capital, education, experience, reputation, and efficient organization of resources are not all direct outcomes of labor?
Closest I could ever find was KanBoard (https://kanboard.org/). Not really as visually "sexy" as Trello etc. though.
