So far it doesn’t seem like they’re dedicated attackers trying to abuse the service but more like legitimate users just using the free service without concerns for paying because you don’t prevent them from using it freely.

So restrict the free tier to an amount that allows them to try it while limiting intensive usage, and then ask for a prepaid entry/starter plan for more (don’t just rely on active credit cards as they can be generated infinitely - you need to actually take money from them).
And more spot on the cynics, whose name just says it : get inspired from those dogs. (although admittedly their name comes from the "swift dog's gymnasium", their gathering place, they themselves started embracing the pun as it was very fitting with their reasoning)
Spreading fear? How about having an honest debate?

Let's see.. so far in this thread I've been accused of being prejudice against gays (ad hominem), had goal posts moved repeatedly from my original post, accused of having no data and when presented it's rejected without sufficient reason provided, had my own personal experiences negated as if they don't happen and when acknowledged they're minimized, and now apparently I'm a fear monger. Amazing what happens when you point out vulnerabilities in public health with PReP!

That's great for you that you're educated enough to perform rational risk analysis (assuming so given you're on HN) -- and you're willing to take the non-trivial semi-known long-term side effect trade offs. Plus you're honest with yourself about exactly what PReP is. However, that doesn't mean everyone follows. A diversity of education and logic-oriented thinking exists out there, yet sex is universal. I've personally heard individuals express that now that they're on PReP there's nothing to worry about so they can have condom-less sex worry-free, so I know this is non-zero. This is foolish.

I think it's dishonest to not acknowledge the risks and vulnerabilities of a large population on PReP. Please look at a short history of epidemics [1] and tell me we're somehow magically done. Ebola was an example of something that once was contained now spreading again. Drug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae is classified as an urgent threat by the CDC [2], and isn't shared by a handshake (to my knowledge). And that classification is from 2013. What will 2025 look like? 2045?

Nothing about what I've said is saying we shouldn't have PReP. My original comment said it's made a big dent in the spread of HIV... hardly fear mongering. But it DOES make some portion of users feel safe to have condomless sex, and that creates new vectors that condoms were protecting against. Why is this so hard to acknowledge?

I would say the majority of users of FB and IG are for social media. That’s why small business use them for ‘selling household items or organizing ride sharing’. I personally cannot think of another social media app as dominant as FB(including IG). If you happen to know one pls let me know.
Yes, in the last Canadian election you didn't need ID to vote, you just needed someone with an ID to vouch for you.
Async adds a runtime requirement, so Rust cannot just take the same approach as Go. You only have a scheduler if you instantiate one. And having a runtime or not has nothing to do with the C abstract machine, but with precise control on what the code does.

For instance, Go does not give you the option to handle this yourself: you cannot write a library for implementing goroutines or a scheduler, since it's embed in every program. That's why it's called runtime. In Rust, every bit of async implementation (futures, schedulers, etc) is a library, with some language support for easing type inference and declarations. This should already tell you why they took this approach.

Regarding async/await and function colors (from the article you posted), I would much rather prefer Rust to use an effect system for implementing this. However, since effects are still much into research and there is no major language which is pushing on this direction (maybe OCaml in a few years?) it seems like a long shot for now.

> I'm not sure why requiring ID to vote is so controversial in the US.

Because there is no evidence of a problem that it would solve and because it has consistently been deliberately engineered as a system of disenfranchisement of eligible voters and the people pushing it (even recently) keep getting caught openly touting its benefits in that direction when they think only their political allies are listening, as well as being the same people pushing other techniques designed to disenfranchise the same people they try to use voter ID to disenfranchise. Its kind of a "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, can't get fooled again" situation, to borrow the wise words of former President George W. Bush.
No it isn't. PBGC, and it's various analogs. Yes, you get a haircut, but pensions are generally insured for that. 401 plans are administered by companies and are funds of funds, at any rate, and you're still just reliant on 1) a different set of companies 2) market values to line up with your liquidity needs.

Also, how are you just ignoring have to rely on the honesty/fiscal stability of the company backing your hypothetical annuity in the space of two paragraphs?

Pensions are disappearing anyway so I feel like we're arguing the nutritional value of eating yangtze river dolphins, but that is because 401 plans are cheaper for employers and there is a lucrative fee structure in administering them, not because of an intrinsic flaw of pensions.
I see what you're saying, but "I'll laugh in your face and tell you to get the fuck out of mine" is usually a very poor way to respond to criticism in the workplace so you shouldn't necessarily aspire to it.
"You don't just cut down a tree, rip it into planks, and use them. Their dimensions, and physical properties like hardness and density, change as they dry."

Log cabins seem mostly immune to this effect, and are usually built on-site with freshly-chopped lumber.
You're a victim of a common misconception. Nuclear reactors can ramp up and down as quickly as the control rods move. Check out the Borax experiments (from shutdown to full power in seconds) and the TRIGA reactor (from shutdown to gigawatts and back to shutdown in milliseconds).

What can't ramp quickly is the steam turbine connected to the reactor, but that's more of a design decision than a technical limitation. The German nuclear plants ("Konvoi" series) can in fact ramp faster than the German gas turbine plants, because that was a design requirement.
The fund has plenty of money. That's part of the absurdity.
>What classical government had the right to vote for a representative? Rome? No. Only the elites could vote. Athens? Same story.

Citizens voted. The question is who gets to be a citizen, but once you are acknowledged as a member of the citizenry then you were entitled to have a say in the governance.

>The old distinction between a republic and a democracy was elected representatives passing laws versus the citizens voting directly on laws themselves.

This is straight up wrong. Read any of the classics from Aristotle's Constitution of Athens to Plato's Republic. Republicanism is representation of the popular will by a gentry or elite and democracy is literally rule by the people through drawing of lots.

It's just so transparent when people make these tenuous arguments to justify disenfranchizing people who will be impacted by laws from having a say in those laws. This is the last refuge of people who want to enable tyranny and oppression.
Yes, almost every software or business presentation i see these days is repeating this sentiment: "Postgres is eating the world!" and "Every company is a Postgres company!"
Sure, but those rules should be changed first. When people move to change the voting requirements without taking the steps to make sure everyone has reasonable access to ID, it sure looks like they're hoping for a specific partisan outcome and I have no problem with people assuming bad faith.
Ask HN: Why is it difficult to achieve a FAANG-level salary while self-employed?
As a software engineer at a FAANG company, it is easy to earn $200k to $300k with just a few years of experience. At the same time, it is non-trivial to get to a similar level of salary while self-employed.

My assumption would be that a company always has to pay engineers less than the value they generate. How is it then that a FAANG-engineer would struggle to achieve a similar salary on his own?
Not arguing about the US being about to learn this the hard way. But when we get to that point, neither a pension nor a 401k will be able to save anyone.
Unless... nothing. There is no power to tax wealth in the Constitution.
Probably to use Bluetooth beacons.
I call references consistently. Its good to get a sense of what some of the negative and positive perceptions of the person interviewing. I don't necessarily consider a negative point from a reference a deal breaker, a negative for one manager, is not the same for another. I do feel its better to go into the relationship with your eyes open.
For some people (such as myself), hearing very formal commentary makes me feel very psychologicall unsafe. I'd much rather an angry rant because it feels like it's coming from someone who is my equal, rather than a representative of The Company who can ruin me.
If that's the case, then folks should be focused on making it easier to get state ID and widen the class of IDs that can be used (state ID/voter ID card/passport/driver's license).

From this page though, it seems like people actually do think voter ID itself is controversial: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_ID_laws_in_the_United_St...

There was even a Supreme Court case in the US about whether it was constitutional for a state to implement one: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-court-election/u-s-to...
Will it work with existing mesh points? If it’s targeting home / small business, then I’d hope so.
> I have no idea how you got it in your head that i'm advocating for DAC

I did not say you advocated for DAC. I said I was willing to listen to you explain why you thought DAC was better than point source capture. You said point source capture was "madness" while on the other hand saying DAC research was something you'd be willing to fund. I didn't (and still don't) understand why you think that. Don't think I twisted anything.

You were at angry gibberish in your first reply to me, I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt and merely asked you to explain your position. Obviously, that was a mistake.
Spending trends were sufficient to refute the OPs assertion.

To go deeper, take spending (here's another link - https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/04/04/what-does-t... basically 65% of federal spending is now for social welfare, rising from about 5% of GDP in 1970 to 15% of GDP in 2016) and add in who pays the majority of taxes (the top 20% pay almost 70% of taxes https://www.pgpf.org/budget-basics/who-pays-taxes).

The progressivity (rate of upper income taxes vs lower income taxes) has also increased in the time period. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Average_US_Federal_Tax_Ra...

So the upper classes pay more taxes in both rates and absolute dollars, those rates have increased, and the social welfare programs are the largest and increasingly largest categories of spending.

See also the growth in income of the various quintiles after taxes and transfers, and the trends over these decades: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/55413#section2

To credibly assert "Post 1970s...austerity for the people, largesse for the military, corporations, and ruling class", you'll need to provide some strong opposing facts.
My bad, meant to say "obviously isn't VR."
Most people (as far as I know) don't have a direct issue with voter ID laws inherently. The issue comes down to the fact that most implementations have been surgically targeted to affect certain racial groups [0], combined with the fact that widespread voter fraud has not been demonstrated to be a problem.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_ID_laws_in_the_United_St... A North Carolina law was overturned as "its provisions deliberately target African-Americans with almost surgical precision … in an effort to depress black turnout at the polls."
I've been able to scale consulting to about 20-35k / mo as a single developer.I've gotten all of my clients through word-of-mouth and I've spend zero dollars in marketing. The trick being that I always try to do the best work and communicate instantly with my clients. I.e, if a client e-mails me, or sends me a text, I respond in about one second. They seem to love that.

I try to be as honest and forthcoming with each client and I've basically hit a cap now in being able to add any new ones and deliver the experience I want to each client. Scaling is the most difficult part for me right now since all my clients are quite varied. Some of them are web apps, other mobile apps and others just pure cybersecurity. They're so vastly different from each other that it's a bit difficult to hire someone who can handle the diverse amount of work. Also, I think for the amount of work I do, I should probably have much bigger retainers, so some clients are $1,250 / month, but jesus is that hard. It should probably be at least $5,000 /month.

For me tho, I've learned so much about business and my technical skills have skyrocketed. I honestly feel like I can tackle any problem in the world and it's a powerful feeling. I make decisions based on the problem its self and have no loyalty really to a specific technology. I understand why a client may want to use WordPress and why a client may want to use Kubernetes. Some clients want to just do servers using Linux and that's okay. I've learned that more basic technology (like bash) can be hugely beneficial to trying to write your own solution. When you're under time constraints, you start to have some pretty creative solutions, and not the creative where it breaks later, the creative where it does exactly what it needs to do, but it's done in 1 hour instead of 1 month.

The best advice I could give is to basically be brutally honest with each client, do the best work that you can and always reply in a timely manner, regardless of what's happening in your life. So many consulting companies are slow to reply, or don't really care about their clients on a personal level that clients will really love you if you spend time thinking about their business on a personal level, being responsive and just being honest when you're overloaded in work.

It is a stressful business tho and I'm in the alpha stages of a product I'm working on based on the problems I've seen over the years. It'll be interesting to move from consulting to a SaaS product. The transition being the consulting provides the funding to be able to work on the SaaS and then hopefully the recurring revenue outpaces consulting eventually and I live a less stressful life!
To be safe from this in Phoenix that would look like this right?

def profile(conn = %{method: "GET"}, params) do
# ...
end

def profile(conn = %{method: "POST"}, %{"user" => user_params) do
# ...
end

This would be in a case where your router looks like:

get "/profile", UserController, :profile, as: :user
post "/profile", UserController, :profile, as: :user

That's what I'm doing in my code base at the moment. Mainly thanks to Changelog open sourcing their platform, and you can see that pattern being used here: https://github.com/thechangelog/changelog.com/blob/f9b0a7587...

The above seems like the natural way to do it with Phoenix once you get a hang of pattern matching.

Right, hence my comment. I wouldn't be worried at all. It feels like a different working culture (or country).

It seems like one of those cultural things, like how Europeans and Americans have inverse views on the severity of sex and violence.

I think you may have even misinterpreted my comment as me thinking I'm somehow "above the rules" or whatever, even. It's not that. It's that it would have literally never crossed my mind that my continued employment would be related to how I behave in relation to this document.

In my personal life I left behind that sort of 'rules lawyering' when I left school. No job I've ever held has actually functioned like that. The closest I've been is working at a large accounting firm, but even there most people had a mutual understanding that the 'book' (a lot more official than this post) was just a CYA fluff document invented to keep certain people busy and certain other people happy.

I think the thing that scares people about these concepts is that they know everyone will choose it.

People choose to refrain from other loaded words like "eugenics"

but this is exactly what people do pursuing others that they consider attractive. nobody would say they are, with the idea of eugenics reserved for 1930s state sanctioned medical pogroms, but their actions of "choosing inheritable traits" undermine that.

Welcome to my world. We're in year 5 and no amount of checking for multiple signups by IP, block/spam/burner email lists, captchas, questionnaires, email confirmation, oauth logins (google, facebook) helps. Multiple signups for free stuff come from students, whole universities (we found our service listed in several curriculum with "just sign up for free") and Fortune 500 companies. Record was a user with 100 accounts. Written warnings works somewhat but also get ignored regularly. After IP blocks our last defense is returning fake data.

While frustrating we see it was daily business to block some users. Overall it costs us time but rarely lost revenue. Those users willing to register 10 accounts don't convert to paid accounts much.

Free trials requiring credit card will help, it's more work to setup and will lower the number of signups.
My understanding of Google is that they're ok with false negatives because they consider false positives to be far far worse.

Per the article, he's being "pursued for a shortfall" under Section 75. Obviously I don't know any more details of the case than that, and it's certainly possible that this is all shenanigans driven by a corrupt pension administration.

But I don't see that that changes the point much: this is entirely private people arguing in court over 100% private money. There's literally no bureaucracy to be offended by. In theory this kind of dispute could happen with any 401k plan in the US too.

If you consider the work output of an engineer to be a proxy for value, then working for a machine that has extensive and significant capability for distributing value will result in more value creation (for you and them) than working for yourself would. If what you are building impacts 1B people who are paying in some way for what is being created, the value creation is way higher. The same applies to anything, more distribution power means more potential value creation and more value created. In a sense, you're more useful to a FAANG than you are alone.
This feature is a little different though. You have no way of immediately gaining control of the vehicle.
