> giving the people more, allowing them to relax, allowing them to be free of the tyranny of the markets

The only possible way to meet these goals sustainably is to propel economic growth. If you want people to escape "the tyranny of the market", you need more market, not less of it! Work smarter, not harder.

And France has a lot of wasted potential for GDP growth, that could be tapped by reforming all sorts of misguided government policies. There's no inherent reason why France couldn't become as wealthy as e.g. the Netherlands, or even more.
If there aren't any constraints like VC funding, co-founders, employees (that want equity) then yeah, it would be pretty logical to keep more than 50%.

In reality, you need to make compromises, it's better to have < 50% of something rather than having > 50% of nothing.

BTW: They probably still have "decision power", because they have a board seat, which means they have influence over the company and are not just an "employee" as you stated.
I have similar experience with Scaleway for the disks. I have been running a few cheap dedicated ARM/Atom servers there for many years. It seems be a tied to a specific host or model, I have one of the first arm's which has been dead stable, but I have seen disk issues with both my new Atom's and newer ARM's.

I still use them for some non-critical stuff because their cheap dedicated ARM and Atom's give you isolation like a dedicated machine. In combination with a LUKS mount I like to think it's safer against any Meltdown/Rowhammer-like attacks than a shared instance.

But if you want a stable VPS you might have better luck elsewhere.
Then space itself is a thing, not a nothing, thus Theory of Relativity is wrong, because we can attach point to space itself. Chose your poison.
As a new parent I think about this a lot in terms of how to educate my son.

I find it especially relevant as my first job was starting my own SAT tutoring company. Anecdotally I found it interesting that immigrant parents & most of the wealthiest US-born parents shared a recognition that this was a game. They were direct and explicit to their kids that this was a system that they must participate in, so they might as well win at it.

I think that is the key: make sure your kids can recognize when something is a bs system they need to hack (like selling enterprise software) and when something is actually about craft and the best will win (like building great products that end-users want to use).
If anyone wants to work on a project that works against this in a completely different way, shoot me an email.

We are growing a community of people who don't trust our fragile governments to figure this out, and instead want to democratize these tools and level the playing field rather than attempting prohibition yet again..
So you put the accounts up for sale, and then what?

Who would buy access to somebody elses infosec homework. Because that's what this site is.

They're essentially playing a low stakes game with low effort.

And I give them big KUDOS for that, cause the average web dev joe would follow all the "best pratices" store user passwords and billing info, hashed, salted, cursed, put in stakes that were never needed & get hacked.
what even is cheating on an algorithm problem? looking up an answer online? asking someone in your social network to help you work through the problem? because that's what you actually do in the real world. as long as you can explain / defend your solution what does cheating even mean.
I personally don’t think this is _the_ problem with education. Education has a lot of shortcomings but, as some siblings point out, having a standardized measure of learning is a _hard_ problem.

The thing that had always left me a bit uneasy after my rocky road through education was just how damned certain everyone is about everything. Our education system, at least up through undergraduate unless you dip your toes into undergraduate research (and even sometimes still then!), teaches you things we “know” about the world we live in. Humans have discovered an _incredible_ amount about the world around us, but we have a _tonne_ left to figure out. We don’t lean into the unknown with our education system until late stage. The masses miss out on the beauty of the unknown.
Not sure what's new here. Small CBC machines have been around a while. This one takes 7 minutes vs the article quoted 10, and also needs just a few drops into a proprietary finger-stick type tube:

You started an off-topic flamewar with this comment. The site guidelines explicitly ask commenters not to:

"Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents."

Topics this generic never produce unpredictable discussion—doubly so when they're also divisive and inflammatory, which most are. On HN we want intellectually curious conversation. To get that, we need topics that are specific and unpredictable, not generic and well-trodden.

I agree it's important, but it doesn't really bother me since I'll put Cloudflare and or a network load balancer in front of anything external facing anyway. Internal things being ipv4 is fine. Other benefits aside you halve your bandwidth bill by putting Cloudflare in front.
Precisely. Bernard Arnault had his fortune doubled for no good reason in the past year. Give the money back, you robber.
I completely agree. It’s shameful that the existing open source DIY projects have to be careful about how useful they allow themselves to become. Thankfully, some of their principles have been picked up by the industry, but it’s taken too long.

A lot of harm is done to diabetics by denying them better treatments and tools in the name of avoiding extreme highs and lows.
If you count using an external HD valid, you can install Arch or Fedora on PS4 right now if you can still find one with a FW not higher that 5.05/5.07...
The inequality charts would beg to differ. We need redistribution. There is an army of unemployed labor and underutilized factories and other facilities. The market is profoundly irrational at allocating resources to meet human need.

With a democratically run economy, we will fully utilize the entire working population while cutting individuals some slack by reducing working hours, increasing safety, and ensuring pensions will be kept. We will do away with the unelected oligarchy that rules this planet.
The protest is not about SNCF - they are only part of the pic. Let's talk about the pension reform in general, not about the SNCF (with some sloppy info btw)
> Jibo didn't see that far ahead, but it did provide for a future at the 11th hour. As the company's last employees programmed the robot's goodbye speech, its founder reportedly signed a license that would allow developers to continue working on the robot's source code for educational purposes. Jibo itself was dying, but at least it might give life to a new kind of robot someday.

I guess I just have a time believing it's in the red, considering the sheer quantity of advertising they show and the fact that video hosting itself isn't all that expensive (relative to the cost of showing an ad), and even cheaper given how cost-efficient Google's datacenters are.

But also, given YouTube's astronomical growth over the past 15 years, I can also see it operating similar to Amazon -- not technically making a profit, but only because it continues to massively reinvest what would otherwise be quite profitable, for even greater future eventual profits.

Of course all this is conjecture...
Good stuff! Normally I cringe to see new language features, but these are pretty good (Java after lambdas, even arguably after generics, is pretty crufty, IMHO)

One thing I'd to request is that `Object.fromEntries()` simply skip undefined entries, rather than do...strange things. I wrote an `mapObject` function that looks like `(a,fn) => Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(a).map(fn))` and occasionally the fn needs to skip an entry and the easiest way to do this is just return `undefined`.
IT? Sure. IT is the guys that support the office printer and your outlook login. Useful people but it's hardly rocket science.

Software development contracting and consultancy is a very different matter and can easily get you into the top one or two percent of incomes in the UK.

The fact that a lot of small and medium businesses in the UK attempt to treat (and pay) the one as the other is part of the reason they're always bleating about not being able to find staff.
Good point, but there have been countless amazing products that failed to raise money and/or to attract enough users. Many have even succeeded just to be bought and terminated. Doing the actual job is not enough, in real the real world you are doomed to hack users, investors, laws and many other things anyway.
Thanks for this. I was planning a similar setup with udpspeeder and possibly an anycast core with fallback to e.g. iodine if the network is that broken. This was motivated by things like to ~80% downstream packet loss my grandma's DOCSIS 3 link had (likely due to bad wiring in her apartment complex, as DVB-C was similarly impacted), which broke things _hard_. I quickly went to dialing aria2c way up in powerpill for archlinux package upgrades. Other times I have dual/triple/quadruple homed hosts (to be fair, I won't have the quad-homed host for a while, because it's dual-provider LTE + wifi + 1000BASE-T, LTE + 2.4G wifi + 5G wifi + 1000BASE-T, or some other dual-mode wireless that will require hacking two cards into the laptop and for wifi also getting a 2.4 vs. 5.8 diplexer so the cards can share the same antennas without interfering with each other too much.
Honestly, I'd describe it closer to BFM: black fucking magic.

> No, I would explain, that is not how to get lots of users. The way you get lots of users is to make the product really great. Then people will not only use it but recommend it to their friends, so your growth will be exponential once you get it started.

> At this point I've told the founders something you'd think would be completely obvious: that they should make a good company by making a good product. And yet their reaction would be something like the reaction many physicists must have had when they first heard about the theory of relativity: a mixture of astonishment at its apparent genius, combined with a suspicion that anything so weird couldn't possibly be right.

The essay context is students and startup founders, but it turns out most multi-billion dollar enterprises have forgotten this as well.

The opening example is not actually of FOSS zombies... because _you_ are someone who knows the project and is interested in pushing it forward (and conceivably, might maintain it).

Real FOSS zombies have _users_ depending on them, and expecting to see maintenance or updates, but nobody to carry those tasks out. The linked-to article is more about "Zombie project steering". IMHO.
Joking aside, more typically the server you never heard of will be something in the CSP’s control plane.

But that’s just a distraction. We hear about those outages once in a blue moon, because many rely on them. What we don’t hear about is that any given colo, managed service, or CSP customer’s apps go down on their own, all the time, not because of the colo or CSP.

Such outages are banal, so we forget how much more likely they are, and fail to risk-weight our engineering efforts accordingly.
I thought the IP blocks that most cloud service providers & VPNs have are well known, and for services that don't need their customers to talk to cloud servers, they widescale ban the IP ranges. Like netflix and many others.
Barclays, knowing that they had committed to doing name checks by "mid 2019" and had to delay on their end, and knowing that this situation occurred because they gave multiple people the same account number, could have had their lawyers deal with this (or directly pay for his lawyers otherwise) instead of basically telling him to bugger off.

People, I just ran this simple script on my terminal using Node and I got a pretty uniform result.

a = {}
for(let i = 0; i < 100000; i++){
let n = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
if( n in a )
a[n] += 1
else
a[n] = 1
}

My result:

{ '0': 9917,
'1': 10015,
'2': 9957,
'3': 10107,
'4': 10019,
'5': 10037,
'6': 10120,
'7': 9914,
'8': 10042,
'9': 9872 }
Still not quite right: 13.8 Gly is the light travel distance, whereas proper distance at time of emission was less than that.

For example, for redshift z=9, light travel time is 13.17 Gy, proper distance at time of absorption (aka comoving distance) is 30.72 Gly and proper distance at time of emission (which, in a spatially flat universe, corresponds to angular diameter distance) is 3.07 Gly. The factor of 10 between these two distances is no coincidence as the ratio of the scale factor is given by 1+z.

In short, yes to all except the free housing. Don't know the exact debt number but it's massive.

I doubt get they get free housing unless they're staying away from home (long distance train drivers). Noting pensions make no distinction between tubes, long distance train or administrative personnel.

Special pensions are not for the elites, quite the opposite, it's mostly for government-related entities (including railways, education, research centers, military, energy).
Alas, for all of the focus on the interview processes to "prevent" false positive hires, those same companies suck as actually getting rid of the bad hires. Some is rational risk aversion to lawsuits and the like but that clearly bs when you see just how fast people that aren't liked by someone high enough up the food chain are shown the door.

The effect on morale and real productivity of getting rid of the toxic and worst performers is amazing.
Theft Act 1968:

Dishonestly retaining a wrongful credit.

(1)A person is guilty of an offence if—

(a)a wrongful credit has been made to an account kept by him or in respect of which he has any right or interest;

(b)he knows or believes that the credit is wrongful; and

(c)he dishonestly fails to take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to secure that the credit is cancelled

Did he dishonestly fail to take reasonable steps? From the article, it seems that the bank asked him if they could take the money back. It would seem to me to be a reasonable step for him to say "yes". Did he dishonestly do so? Tricky one; Theft Act 1968 specifies what dishonesty is not, leaving it open to a jury to decide what it is.

Theft Act 1968 says the following cases are NOT dishonesty:

(a) if he appropriates the property in the belief that he has in law the right to deprive the other of it, on behalf of himself or of a third person; or

(b) if he appropriates the property in the belief that he would have the other’s consent if the other knew of the appropriation and the circumstances of it; or

(c) (except where the property came to him as trustee or personal representative) if he appropriates the property in the belief that the person to whom the property belongs cannot be discovered by taking reasonable steps.

None of those applies, so it's definitely possible that he did act "dishonestly" under the Theft Act 1968, in which case yes, this is theft.

HOWEVER, there is an incomplete definition of "wrongful credit" here that could throw a spanner in the works:

A credit to an account is wrongful to the extent that it derives from—

(a)theft;

(b)blackmail;

(c)fraud (contrary to section 1 of the Fraud Act 2006); or

(d)stolen goods.

One legal interpretation of "to the extent that" is simply "if", in which case this was NOT a wrongful credit to an account, and this entire section of the Theft Act 1968 ceases to apply.

HOWEVER, it's not "if and only if"; could one argue that this was a wrongful credit? Well, it was certainly wrong in that the account that was credited was not the intended account. I suspect a good lawyer could reasonably argue this, but I don't need to go looking for case law; in this case, the court agreed that the money must be returned, which I think is itself case law supporting the idea that the recipient was in the wrong.

When I started preparing for interviewing, I spent most of my times studying general data structures & algorithms and practicing applying them to different problems. I don't think this is so bad and can lead to a lot of learning you wouldn't do otherwise.

The frustrating thing, is how easy it is to hack the test. After one particular interview, I remember talking to a friend about how hard the technical interview was. He told me that he had already seen the problem and knew it would come up because he bought leetcode premium for the interview. Kind of frustrating to spend hours and hours learning data structures and algorithms when the real key to success is getting lucky and memorizing the problem before hand

If we can figure out how to solve our political issues and become a eusocial species, we may be able to build some generational starships. In 4.5 billion years we could potentially colonize many of the planets in the habitable zone of stars in the Milky Way.

Sorry, it seems that you are jumping into conclusions that were never warranted. Chesterton's fence is a principle that I learned a while ago and I am not defending that we need to throw everything away.

What I am saying is that what you regard as a "90% solution at best" is actually not a solution at all. Standardized tests are terrible predictors of performance on actual jobs. If standardized tests (or IQ tests or anything that is supposed to be a proxy for measuring performance) shows time and again that it only manages to measure people that are good to "study for the test", then why do we keep trying to use them to measure performance? Is it because it "the only thing we have"? This seems like saying "I am lost in Rome but all I have is a map of Paris, let me use that anyway."

And no, I am not proposing some other solution to replace it.

That article doesn't seem relevant. 'Poverty impedes cognitive function' is entirely compatible with 'IQ is highly correlated with wealth and is also highly heritable', and with the claim that private school can't make a genius out of a kid who lacks an extremely high IQ.

edit: maybe I misunderstood, and you only were only pointing out that some potential-genius kids have that potential stifled by poverty. But that doesn't seem to be the original point of disagreement.
