The problem is less related to typical petty crime, but more about state actors hoarding vulnerabilities imo. State actors have already been shown exploiting JavaScript-related vulnerabilities in Tor to deanonymize pedophiles, for example.
Not really. Some other functional languages (eg. F#) don't seem as arcane as Haskell.
You can get drugs in most places on the world pretty easily though.
I also see two things:

- Investment barriers for innovation: you need something large to motivate funding and overcome research/innovation => centralized. When costs amortized, you start selling small and cheap.

- Maybe also a kind of inertia or fatigue. People will try to find ways to improve. When it's too hard to do so in centralized they'll try to distribute, or the other way around.
I cured reddit of its addictiveness by unsubscribing from all high-volume subreddits, and only subscribing to a few low-traffic niche communities. Now I reach the "end" of reddit quite quickly (like I reach the end of the infinite scroll and it doesn't show me any more posts) and feel like I'm "done" reading it.

In a lot of organizations there are "bug teams", whose job is to detect bugs, fix some, and make fixing them easier. However, you probably don't call them "the bug team". Examples:

Site reliability. If devs ship a bug, the site reliability team will mitigate the damage and probably ship out a quick fix. They'll also make it easier for the original dev to provide a long-term fix.

Quality assurance. They find bugs, including more vague user experience bugs. In a sense they can fix bugs by delaying deploys and disabling buggy features.

Security. Part of the security team's job is to identify vulnerable packages and upgrade them, as well as find and fix vulnerable endpoints. Often this won't come back to the original developer at all unless they made a serious transgression.

So bug teams do exist, but usually with a spin on it. The conversation is not "we are separate; your mistakes are not your problem", but "let's work together to make your mistakes less costly".
This could be very useful for adults as well. I work in scuba diving and am definitely in interested in this app.
> There the thing: nobody wants to pay engineers on par with managers

I used to think like that but I learned in time that the core issue is that engineers rarely know how to present their job in terms of monetary benefit during salary negotiations.

i.e. as an automation engineer I led an initiative that saved a previous employer more than 60k€ yearly using automation and optimizing other validation workflows. as principal engineer at my current job I saved them more than 30k€ yearly by replacing a licensed component with an open source one, filling the feature gaps myself outside of work hours.

these thing get noticed, not just the stuff done but the ability of thinking in money, and unlocks the full engineering potential in salary negotiations

If it's been 30+ years, it's probably time to stop thinking of it as a temporary thing.
This happened to someone with a Netgear Arlo [1] a while ago. Netgear responded to the user that resale isn't 'supposed' to occur and so didn't consider it an issue previously. Nevertheless they claim to have been working on a fix.

Outside of various geeks though I'm not sure that word of most vulnerabilities with internet connected cameras reaches a wider audience.

Someone working a full-time job should be able to support at least themselves, if not a family. If you contribute half your waking life to supporting society, and in a role that society has determined is needed enough to employ you at, then what society gives you in exchange should be at the very least enough to support yourself. It's just a basic standard of a decent society.

That doesn't imply that "everyone should be entitled to whatever they want" in the negative way you're thinking of.

We could assign zero dollar value to land and allocate it democratically based on utility to the public...

How is central allocation according to some metric actually democratic?

Just a reminder that land is a limited natural resource that does not have a monetary value assigned to it except by political choice.

Land's value is nominally derived from the income it can generate. In the Wealth of Nations, Smith walks us through the connection between the price of farm land and the value of the crops that could be grown on it.
>Your points may be valid but your post makes it seem like you’re mostly just upset your submissions didn’t get any recognition.

I'm certainly not pleased about it.

>I don’t think HN is a bastion of meritocracy or being amazing either FYI.

Part of the issue is with the name, perhaps. This website portrays itself as a hacker venue, but my Lisp and machine code articles receive nothing, whereas people wrapping HTML and JavaScript around programs others wrote, reimplementing something worse in Rust, or even commenting on something that happened on Reddit receives hundreds of comments and Internet points. I couldn't care less about the points, but surely you understand it would be frustrating for a place that claims to be about hackers to do this. Perhaps I wouldn't feel this way if it had remained Startup News.

Of particular note and relevant to this main topic, I wasn't the first to submit my articles to Hacker News. Someone else was in an IRC channel with me discussing one of my projects and, in pursuit of Internet points, uploaded it without even asking me. To see my work put on Hacker News so someone could get points is one thing and then for it to be entirely ignored is an additional insult. Surely you understand some of how I feel, with this.
That is their ultimate goal. There's no indication that they'll be able acheive it. Their main "innovation" if you can call it that is removing regulations that were previous barriers to entry. If Uber removes all barriers to entry, somehow eliminates competition, how does it not come back once they raise prices past a point that makes it profitable to compete?

The other goal they have is to be the first to engineer autonomous cars and replace all their drivers, roughly halving their operating costs. As the article points out, that is several years away, and would require Uber to expend huge capital costs to acquire and operate said cars. They are currently a company that doesn't do anything close to that.
Advertisements via thinly veiled medium posts are getting to be annoying common. Anyone offering a "GDPR Compliance" test using an external scanner is riding the line where using deceptive wording to mine leads meets openly scamming.

Ear infections can be very serious. I work in scuba diving and an ear infection directly impacts my income for weeks at a time.

Childhood ear infections can have a permanent impact and easily spread to sinuses and the jaw.

That seems like a deliberately obtuse response. It could just as easily be a family member, roommate, or some neighbor that offered to help you set your Alexa up. The fact that it can happen at all is the issue.
Okay, as long as we're not arguing, I will tell you that any sort of fine-grained intra-thread communication is to be avoided like the plague in computer chess. Engines are able to search millions of positions per second... most multithreading frameworks (e.g., the ones that give you your "futures" and "promises") rely on locks that can halt threads for milliseconds at a time. It's absolutely disastrous for efficiency.

I believe Stockfish uses the idea of "Lazy SMP" for parallel search which literally means no intra-thread communication other than locks on hash table entries to avoid data corruption of the hash table. Anything more sophisticated has proven to be a loss. So any sort of discussion of tasks, futures, promises, or even Young Brothers Wait is going to be fairly pointless. Also, anything that relies on offloading data to the GPU for processing for more than a few milliseconds is going to be a net loss for obvious reasons. Meaning that even if you could evaluate a million positions in parallel, and you already (somehow) knew which positions you needed to evaluate, doing the evaluation on the GPU is probably still going to be a loss due to the time it takes to copy the positions to/from the GPU.

Really, if you were tasked to come up with an algorithm that was poorly suited for GPGPU computation, it might be computer chess.

That being said, it doesn't really matter. How much were you hoping to speed up Stockfish? AlphaZero still crushes Stockfish at 10:1 time odds. Even if you were able to make Stockfish 10x faster it wouldn't change the dynamic of CNN chess engines being superior to conventional engines.
Nobody has any idea since they don't know what an autonomous car will cost.
If it's legal to build something new on the lot this kind of thinking is valid.

> An asset it something that makes you money

This is a very narrow definition not taught in accounting.

"Asset", "Liability", and "Net worth" are words with very specific meanings.

An asset is something that has value. (producing income isn't a requirement) A liability is an expense. An item can be both an asset (your home has a value) and a liability (the mortgage). The net worth is the difference.
Ok, let me read one of your posts...

> Ultimately, in the pursuit of simplicity, a flag octet would be avoided, as all my thinking would leave half of it unused and that I find poor, and so the final format is as follows: sixteen octets indicate the IPv4 or IPv6 address, with all zeroes indicating a system action; three octets represent the time, likely with fifteen bits representing the year as an integer and nine bits representing the day within that year; an octet has its top two bits determine if the request successfully completed and if the selector ended properly, with the latter six being used for a length of the only variable-length component, the selector itself.

Holy run-on sentence, Batman. You have two problems, the presentation of the topics aren't all that engaging, and your writing style could use some improvement. As a writer myself, I have to wonder how many revisions that went through. I need at least three drafts with days between them before I publish anything substantial.

Examples of real life applications might make it more interesting as well -- a lot of the drama of HN stories are where the design didn't quite work in the implementation.

I agree that the ISP monopoly problem in the US is by far the bigger problem.

The "last mile" should be owned and controlled by the government, for similar reasons why roads and power lines are. Then handfuls of ISPs would compete for the business of your household. Here in New Zealand that's exactly how it works. I can choose from at least 20 ISPs and net neutrality is a non-issue because free market competition drives the providers to give us what we want.

Thus my stance on net-neutrality is neither for nor against. I think both stances are equally bad, and the root of the problem is ISP monopoly.
Yes he's a good writer. But I did notice that a disproportionately large fraction of his sentences start with the word "but".

I'd have thought that such behavior would be punished. As I understand it, HN goes further, looking for voting cabals and sock-puppet groups.
Exactly.

Changing the position of the engines means it's no longer the same 'tried and tested airframe'.

Not sure what I would recommend for non-technical people but if you are a bit tech savvy, rolling your own is very robust nowadays. Buy cameras that don't need to be setup using an app (I prefer DHCP/Ethernet with web console), block them from going out at the firewall level, stop all services like mDNS/uPnP on the cams, install Blue Iris or BlueCherry DVR on a $500 laptop with 8TB USB drive, install the iOS/Android apps on your phone, open the right firewall ports, and now you can remotely monitor and watch your house from anywhere, safely.

I have 30 days of footage for 16 cameras recording to a 4TB HDD. The entire setup cost me around $3k over 7 years (cameras were more expensive in 2013).

There is absolutely no way I will ever trust a camera that needs me enter my home wifi password using an app, which then sends the plaintext password to a .cn domain to generate a QR code that the camera scans to configure itself (looking at you MECO Wifi IP cams). Way too many people around the world are falling for these cheap cams.
The parent comment on focus and this comment on extreme prioritization are so helpful.

Recently we are focused on just one objective and key result - it took years to get that far - we used to have so many. But even now with just one objective we still picked 25 initiatives to attempt to reach our goal. In retrospect it was an obvious fail because we only executed on a few well. We did some initial analysis but considering your comment I think we could have done much more analysis and cut much deeper and picked just a few or even just one. This is radical thinking!

Thank you for getting deeper into this. Do you have any other hints on where I could learn more about the approach you are describing?
Exactly this. The Moto G6 boot animation resembles more a video game cut scene. Its inappropriately loud and flashy and doesn't match the rest of the Moto G5/G6 experience. It cannot be muted, I hated rebooting it.

I wonder if this could be more easily adopted by Silicon Valley style startups if this ownership was of what would normally be the employee option pool rather than the whole company.

That way you'd still be compatible with venture capital, quarantine the hours worked dilution to the pool and you can treat founders differently to employees if you want by having founders shares outside the option pool.

I would also recommend against using the `<h1>` tag to convey the main information. Usually `<h1>` is used for the main heading—which I presume is the text ”is js enabled” which is located at the top, but wrapped inside a `<nav>`instead of a `<header>` to denote the document structor and `<h1>` to denote the text’s purpose as a main heading.

Instead I would use a `<strong>` tag to convey the main information, and a nested `<b>` (the Bring attention to element) to spell the word “enabled” or ”disabled”

None of those channels can be shutdown by breaking up Google or other tech giants, let alone imposing a fine.

As long as there's a very popular communications service / social networking service / etc., or even a few of them (none of which dominates the entire market), you can't stop other people from turning in your data (unless you have no connections whatsoever in this world, or you and all your connections live in a cave). And if you use any popular service or visit any popular website yourself, your data will be collected, it's only a matter of the level of details.
First of all, do not rely on that site to provide you accurate, unbiased advice. They have an agenda, and they are pushing it.

Second, there is a huge difference between using small wind turbines in the city, where the alternative is reliable and cheap grid power, and off grid, where the alternative is increased use of expensive and unreliable small diesel generator.

Whether a small wind turbine is worthwhile for an off grid system depends on lots of things, primarily on availability of solar, availability of wind an your usage pattern.
For anyone who wants an alternate view (by Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism #9):

"Do you want to live "according to nature"? O you noble Stoics, what a verbal swindle! Imagine a being like nature - extravagant without limit, indifferent without limit, without purposes and consideration, without pity and justice, simultaneously fruitful, desolate, and unknown - imagine this indifference itself as a power - how could you live in accordance with this indifference?8 Living - isn't that precisely a will to be something different from what this nature is? Isn't living appraising, preferring, being unjust, being limited, wanting to be different? And if your imperative "live according to nature" basically means what amounts to "live according to life"- why can you not just do that? Why make a principle out of what you yourselves are and must be? The truth of the matter is quite different: while you pretend to be in raptures as you read the canon of your law out of nature, you want something which is the reverse of this, you weird actors and self-deceivers! Your pride wants to prescribe to and incorporate into nature, this very nature, your morality, your ideal. You demand that nature be "in accordance with the stoa ," and you'd like to make all existence merely living in accordance with your own image of it - as a huge and eternal glorification and universalizing of stoicism! With all your love of truth, you have forced yourselves for such a long time and with such persistence and hypnotic rigidity to look at nature falsely, that is, stoically, until you're no long capable of seeing nature as anything else - and some abysmal arrogance finally inspires you with the lunatic hope that, because you know how to tyrannize over yourselves - Stoicism is self-tyranny - nature also allows herself to be tyrannized. Is the Stoic then not a part of nature?.... But this is an ancient eternal story: what happened then with the Stoics is still happening today, as soon as a philosophy begins to believe in itself. It always creates a world in its own image. It cannot do anything different. Philosophy is this tyrannical drive itself, the spiritual will to power, to a "creation of the world," to the causa prima [first cause]."
Japan went through a huge multi decade housing bust after the 80s, which brought down much of the USA/Canadian west coast with it for 5 or so years in the early/mid 90s.

This seems pretty one-sided, and I don't think the ambiguity of "for whatever personal reasons they may have" is called for. Surely sending an explicit anti-gay message and funding explicitly anti-gay groups is very disrespectful to a large group of people. And surely comparing their success to Apple's and Disney's is an exaggeration. Do you really disagree on those points, or am I misrepresenting your writing?

Disclaimer: I love their food and agree that their employees are friendly and helpful.
Any comparison of rent vs buy should be made by comparing interest+council rates/land tax paid to rent paid. You also need to be secure in the assumption that your house/land value will not drop. You also need to account for rises in rent. Changes in interest rates... all in all, it's more difficult than it sounds, and advice on this depends a lot on what your local property market is doing. In some places it can go either way.
Couldn't agree with you more. This "life hack" diluted and "self help" version of Stoicism is horrendous.
Any ideas how this would be done? State sponsored (non-profit) fairs very low. Wikileaks is the only example that comes to mind of a pure fact-finding non-profit news outlet.
