The negative externalities of plastic bags to the environment after use are currently not priced by bag manufacturers into the product.

I’d imagine cotton or hemp bags have a very low environmental impact once they’ve become landfill or worst case ended up in a waterway vs plastic.

It’s obviously very complex pricing negative externalities which is why it’s almost never done but something to consider even if cotton bags have a much higher up front cost to produce vs plastic.

Dear EFF,

I love you. I love you lots. Which is why this post rather bothers me for its dishonest arguments. This bit stood out:

> That’s because a central part of Manifest V3 is the removal of a set of powerful capabilities that uMatrix, NoScript, and other extensions rely on to protect users (for developers, we’re talking about request modification using chrome.webRequest).

Whatever tools are available to a friendly extension are also available to an unfriendly one. With this in mind, it should be relatively easy to figure out that this sort of modification might, just might, be subject to some amount of possible abuse.

Please, EFF. I do love so much of the work you do. Is it too much to ask for some intellectual honesty?

This is genius.

If you don't enforce a trademark you can loose it. So this is probably helping protect their trademark.

And this also draws attention -- in a potentially viral way -- to their brand and the fact that velcro is distinct from and perhaps better than "hook and loop".

Modern US fighter bombers actually carry decoys that are themselves armed. The pilots literally push a button that deploys them and the decoys themselves can be armed. The "skyborg" project involves literal armed decoys that come out of an F35. The Kratos XQ-58 Valkyrie is also no joke.

Suddenly, the hunter hunting the hunted becomes the prey :)

The downside of that is the Canadian pension doesn't provide a livable amount. One ex tech worker in Calgary who's collecting pension now told me it pays his electric bill.
Or, for our specific purposes, why would I need an expensive device with higher-powered CPU if the sites and applications run well on a lower-powered device?

Precisely that. We need more human work (optimizing code) and less brainless energy spending, i.e. more jobs and less consumption of non-renewable resources.
>if I want to persuade you of something, it's your job to listen to me

If you're trying to persuade someone of something, you're the salesman in that situation. Keep that in mind.

>I can also assure you I speak faster than I type, and so it's not just your end that counts.

That wasn't the point; jasode was asserting that many people read other peoples' writing faster than others speak, not that other people can type faster than they can speak.
This settlement itself is a scam. It looks like a cunningly smart settlement announcement.

Offer something that looks like a worthy settlement, drive millions of people to get the cash option, then claim that too many are going for the cash option, so they'll all get peanuts now (if 10 million chose cash option and only 31 million is available, then it's $3 per head?).

That's a cheap way to get rid of any liability in the future.

Facebook didn't get hacked, and was fined $5 billion (do affected facebook users get anything from that amount? not sure)

Equifax leaked extremely important details of persons, and was fined peanuts. How does this make sense?
So far it’s just been a lot of theory (books, man pages, reading PoC code and vulnerability disclosures, dusting off old texts on networking) and practice (CTFs, bug bounty, writing my own exploitable apps then fixing them after, trying out PoCs) since I want to hit a certain level of competence before applying for jobs.

I’ll be talking to contacts in cybersec and HR/recruitment departments in my area since the hiring filter is a bit of a concern. I’m used to going around HR, but not sure how that plays out in this industry. Despite doing front-end and full-stack development for every position I’ve had I do feel I need to groom my experience a bit to downplay my UX/UI contributions. Worst case is I get certs like the OSCP you’re getting to speed things up.
Well, I don't think the Native Hawaiians actually built Mauna Kea. I also suspect that the majority of Jews would not approve of building something atop the Western Wall, the majority of Catholics would not approve of building on St Peter's Basillica, but a 2018 poll conducted by the main Honolulu newspaper found 72% approval for building the TMT among Native Hawaiians ( https://tinyurl.com/y2qboalr )

That’s not true, the Saudis do very well for themselves. The entire citizen population is given massive handouts, and it seems to be working out okay. Corruption isn’t very bad, at least compared to other oil states.

Also Kuwait is doing good as well, and they have a retarded amount of oil.

But, in general, I agree that it often hurts instead of helps. But select countries like the US, Norway, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia have become very prosperous from natural resources and nothing terrible has happened because of it.
I grew up near Millville / Vineland in South Jersey in the 90s and the kids on my soccer team (we're talking from the age of like 13 up to 18) would say "jawn" at least 100 times a day. Never heard it from adults though.
There is also one more reason, which is rise of RedPill or MGTOW communities. Just checking on Reddit, I see their follower count is more than fenmist subreddits.

If you already own x% of the company it sounds like they are wanting to make installments on the purchase of the company via 're-vesting'. I.e., rather than pay 100% to own your shares, they want to own 100% of your shares, then pay you a portion of X over time. I assume this means they will be paying interest on the loan you are giving them.
Without commenting specifically on the features you mentioned, I'll just observe that being first to market with a particular feature doesn't mean that you have the best implementation of that feature.
Antithesis | DC / Northern Virginia | Onsite | Software Engineers | FULL-TIME | $100k-$150k + equity

Antithesis is using deterministic simulation, fuzzing, and AI to improve software testing. The founders are two FoundationDB veterans; for an idea of what we're doing, see my talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFSPwJFXVlw.

Fully funded medical, dental, and vision insurance. Unlimited vacation (with mandatory MINIMUM vacation time). Flexible hours.

We're doing things nobody has done before, so we don't need familiarity with any particular language, framework, domain, or anything like that. Don't care. What we do care about: you're smart, a joy to work with, and are comfortable dealing with open-ended/poorly-defined problems.

If that sounds like you, send us a brief (one to two paragraph) explanation of an interesting technical challenge you've faced. Feel free to send a resume too. jobs@antithesis.com

We're also hiring for professional services roles and an operations manager. Feel free to ask about those!
> Boss asks how much money are we losing because of this. You have no answer. What do you do?

This is my point. If you can't answer the first and most basic question with hard data, you're fucked. There is literally no point going to one's boss and saying "this is morally wrong" unless you can make a business case. (or your boss has the same world view as you.)

If you can't argue that your change is going to move a KPI for the better, you've lost your argument.

I know lots of "tech" people like to waft about thinking that they are above such mundane things as buisness KPIs (OKRs if your management team has swallowed google's rubbish) Thats why they think they are such maligned geniuses.

Tech is an enabler for a business to do business. Its just another tool, like a warehouse, van or envelope. If you want to make sure you're not going to get slung out during the next re-org, you have to make sure that you are performing to what the _buisness_ wants from you. Thats a two way street.

for example, marketing come up to us and say: "we need a microsite for the conference thats coming up"

Sure I could make a K8s cluster to host a website. But I could do it quicker and cheaper by using a PaaS(or Saas), trumpet the speed and clarity of my execution, underline in triplicate the capex cost I've saved (ignoring the opex, because they won't find out about that till next year, plus it's not my bill, I'm measured on staff costs.)

Is it cutting edge? is it fuck. Does it get me browny points? you bet ya.

I can then spend those browny points on trying to change things about my working environment that I don't like. As I've made marketing happy, I can work on them to find a better tracking company, or better yet, get them to pay us to develop their BI pipeline.

Sure its not a "pure tech" experience. But I can affect way more change than reskinning the website in yet another framework, following the latest animation style guide from some sadistic nonce claiming to be a UX guru.

So No. I wouldn't quit over this. Because I'm not a Wilde-esq dandy.

This transparency is just admirable, with investments down to the exact real estate properties that is invested in. Just beautiful.
I find it odd that HIV is not a lifestyle disease. Everything I know about it says that someone is at zero risk if they take lifestyle precautions. Is there some risk to someone who doesn't do drugs and is in a monogamous relationship? That is they might catch it from someone near them (like the flu from a cough). Or is the definition of lifestyle disease different from what I intuitively think it is, so HIV doesn't qualify.

I'm with you on helping people who have made bad choices. However I do agree with the poster above: HIV seems to be getting an out sized share of research compared to other things that kill more people.
Commure, Inc. | San Francisco, CA or Montreal, Canada| Rust Engineer (Rust, data pipelines) | Fulltime | ONSITE

We are a stealth startup working to fix the software doctors use. If you have seen what physicians have to put up with, it's a bad version of the 90s, and makes medical care worse and more expensive for everyone. We are a group of previously successful engineers and entrepreneurs (MIT, Dartmouth, Brown, Stripe, Twitter, Google, Salesforce, Palantir, DataPower, etc) and senior doctors (Johns Hopkins, UCSF, etc) who are determined to finally fix this.

Compensation: market salary & equity -- we are well funded by top-tier VCs.

Stack: includes Rust, React and Kubernetes. In addition to building our back end in Rust, we are also solving some very interesting problems in the areas of security, data transformation, high-speed APIs, flexible UX frameworks and fine-grained authorization for healthcare data.

Please email jobs@commure.com and mention "[rusthn]" in the subject line.

Other positions available: -
Techops/Devops Engineer (Kubernetes, SRE)
Senior Front End Engineer (React Native, React)
(please use [hnops] or [fehn] in subject line for the above)

Locations: San Francisco, Montreal or Boston; sorry, no distributed/remote option at the moment.

If you can, please steal and/or adapt this idea in any shape or form. Music is such a nice and safe drug.

Here's the playlist from our latest adventure https://open.spotify.com/playlist/76BJ3kWrBGo0b9p9M2uMob

My Last.fm is here https://www.last.fm/user/apecat

I think a lot of people are more open to this kind of thing than they think. Purists can complain all day long about Bluetooth audio (I say ABX blind test AAC/AptX transcoding or GTFO), but I'm blown away by the potential brought along with the popularity of premium wireless closed-back cans with active noise cancellation.

These are oftentimes bought for reducing or avoiding stress, but they have great potential to counteract the awful trend of people not even having typical 90s micro stereo system at home, but using exclusively laptop or TV speakers, or mono BT speakers.

So, I'm not grumpy: I like a lot of trends in contemporary personal music listening, mainly streaming for decent quality sources (I equally devour albums, curated playlist and algorithmic recommendations). I've had Spotify Premium since March 15 2009, and it has done so much for my appreciation of music.
