You mean like saying you're going to return one item (the one amazon just sent you and the one you clicked on with the shipping date) and actually sending another (one you bought two years ago)? I think it'd be pretty easy to prove, tbh.

That's not what I was referring to anyways. They almost certainly wouldn't go to court for a $50 backpack, but they can definitely bar you from using the service if they think you're going to cost them more money than you give.
I like that you've decided that you're charging a fair price. While you certainly might make more money by raising the prices, you'll limit your market significantly.

I know that I use a TV related site (one of the ones for tracking shows), and as much as I'd be happy to pay them $12/year, their cheapest plan is 3 times as much, and I just don't see them as providing that much value to me.

The cert for www.routerlogin.net (Serial c1:a1:00:64:07:61:2c:07:00:00:00:00:50:f1:09:6a) isn't revoked yet: https://crt.sh/?id=1955992027&opt=ocsp

The reporters should have asked the CAs to revoke the certificate. If the CA doesn't do that within 24 hours, it's considered a violation of the rules that the CA needs to follow to stay in browsers.

> She is already under criminal investigation by the authorities in Angola for corruption and her assets in the country have been frozen.

If by working hard you mean she abused her position and accepted millions in bribes so that foreign companies could loot her country exploiting natural resources for pennies and use literally child slaves in mines then yes, she worked very hard for that, that's what sociopaths call working hard indeed. Is this the kind of people you give all your appreciation and respect? these criminals?
The difference though is that financial debt is very easy to measure and quantify but technical debt is not.

I like the Tetris analogy because that game has a type of debt that anyone who has played it can understand, yet is not as easily quantifiable as financial debt.
I work professionally in machine learning for over ten years now and I deeply dispute what you say, and many other practitioners do as well.

> “not particularly clear how the features actually interact to reach the prediction.“

This is quite true of many models, such as linear regression in the wild. You may also have a clear but wrong picture of how features interact, eg looking at coefficients of interaction terms in a misspecified linear model.

See for example, “The Mythos of Model Interpretability”

- https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.03490

Without a coherent definition of what “not black box” or “explainable” means scientifically, the buzzword of “black box” is also meaningless and is more of a political game to be a gatekeeper over what models are allowed to be used than any kind of honest intellectual inquiry.

I’ve worked professionally on systems where misspecified linear models and text models using simple ngram boosting were vastly more inscrutable than comparable neural networks or dimensionality reduction models for the same applications.

Nobody has any scientifically cogent idea of what makes a model “explainable” other than arguing semantics.

Do you mean scalar execution?
Software with significant technical debt is like a car held together with duct tape and kept moving with WD-40.

1. You wouldn't pay good money for it if you knew what was under the hood.

2. Most mechanics are reluctant and embarrassed to work on it.

3. Maintenance is going to cost more than you think, probably by a wide margin.

4. You wouldn't expect a major manufacturer to ship a brand new vehicle this way.

5. Nobody who knows what they're doing will ever brag about having a hand in creating it.
The problem was that you reposted it as "Introducing". That's clearly a dupe relative to the Show HN. If you made a post specifically about the differences since the last post, that might be ok, though probably not as a Show HN.

I work at an embedded OS company on the entire command-line toolchain (as opposed to the GUI-based IDE). That includes maintaining existing and doing new compiler ports.

We always have a great deal of trouble finding qualified candidates to fill open reqs. We find few are interested in this sort of technology, everyone want to either work on cool new applications (like self-driving automobiles) or high-profile web-based stuff. Our entire department is either waiting for retirement or a heart attack (whichever strikes first, and retirement is not a realistic expectation).

tl;dr compiler engineers are in demand and they work on compilers.

Financial debt is well understood, and its impact is easy to measure.

Technical debt is not well understood, and its impact is not easy to measure.

This analogy is probably why so many companies make the (usually wrong) decision regarding technical debt.

This is far from the only time this has happened, though...Many moons ago I was required to take a class in fluid dynamics in College. It was all observational best-fit statistical estimation that kinda modeled observed behavior.

I wonder if it's similar to embedded software development (which also requires "rigorous working methods"). Salaries for embedded are generally lower than for web development because there's much less demand for embedded skills.
The value of a Chaitin constant is highly machine-dependent. In some cases, it can even be proved that not a single bit can be computed (Solovay 2000).

Chaitin constants Omega_U are perhaps the most obvious specific example of uncomputable numbers. They are also known to be transcendental.

Calude et al. (2002) computed the first 64 bits of Chaitin's constant Omega_U for a certain universal Turing machine as

Omega_U = 0.0000001000000100000110..._2

The authors' argument for why this is important is made here:

Why does it matter that a middle-class tipping point has been reached and that the middle class is the most rapidly growing segment of the global income distribution? Because the middle class drive demand in the global economy and because the middle class are far more demanding of their governments.

FWIW, I agree that reaching 50% globally is of little importance, but it's certainly very meaningful locally. China's meteoric rise in the last two decades was born from the rise of the middle class, and the same is now starting to happen in India and Indonesia.

Also, And while the rise is not without it's downsides (pollution, obesity, whatnot), as the authors note that it's quite well established that escaping poverty/vulnerability makes people a lot happier. Risking a heart attack from a bad diet 30 years down the road is preferable to starving now due to a lack of food.

Which presumably affects and references only EU country pricing, so you need one 'EU price', which can be different from non-EU countries?

I also wonder what the implementation has been (but not for much longer) without a single currency. I wasn't aware of this rule, and as a consumer have certainly seen variation in EUR/GBP rates (across different things that have the same EUR price say but not GBP).

Must be challenging for big product sellers as opposed to service providers too, Amazon (shop) for example.

Admittedly he is somewhat polarizing. He generally writes "young adult" fiction, which some see as a kind of lowest common denominator.

He also is fairly public about his mental health issues. If you don't have the background about his depression and anxiety, he can seem like a very "privileged problems" kinda guy.

He's also a successful YouTube creator/vlogger/various other kinds of content. The fanbase can be...vigorous and passionate.

There's plenty of reasons people might not like him. I disagree with those reasons completely, but I know there are some.
lol. You forget that more density can increase supply and drive the price down for everyone. In your ideal world you would move high paying jobs into uninteresting areas, force these people to live in big houses (that they don't need), make them have a car (that they don't need) so they can bring some money for other jobs like janitors needing a car and a detached house?

What do you mean "without providing any kind of meaningful security benefit"?

It prevents a bored kid who dumps the private key from one router from being able to reliably impersonate thousands of consumers' routers, the world over.

That's a meaningful security benefit.
Yeah, but remember how they found it? On Netgear's website! In their firmware images!

It wasn't like they had to hack a router, get root, and exfil the keys. All of this data was already made public, by Netgear! They just put together a document with prettier forms for everyone else to see.

Hell, they probably could've given you a shell one liner to grab it from Netgear and extract the keys yourself. :-)

Edit: and the Comodo-issued cert is already revoked. I'm too lazy to pull the other cert but I'd bet that it's revoked too.
That’s a great, thoughtful response. I don’t disagree with anything here but thought I’d add one “Yes, and” note regarding your military experience. What I’ve found working in a place with virtually no top-down authority is that interpersonal compatibility matters quite a lot to achieve business outcomes. I figure most organizations land somewhere between a military and my workplace in the top-down authority dimension, so they probably also rely a bit more heavily on interpersonal compatibility than your experience with the military would indicate is actually necessary.

I strongly agree that this is a liability, however, due to its potential for maintaining and entrenching biases of various types.

They could and do punish people who take drugs, the problem is that every one takes drugs and they don't have the resources to punish everyone.

> Tldr; Brits enslaved locals to do their work so they could sweat less

Actually, some Brits such as Churchill wanted to do to India exactly the same as was done to Australia, New Zealand, the Americas or "at least" get to a condition like was done in Apartheid South Africa. There was active efforts to exterminate and genocide the indigenous population in India: large engineered famines. It is just by sheer numbers and thanks to Germany wanting to get in on the colonial trophies triggering a war that India and other South East Asian nations managed to survive. If not for those great wars, and if guys like Churchill had continued their policies it would not be inconceivable that India could have been genocided out and the population replaced with "good European stock" as Churchill would have said.
It's not the most violent soccer club by far. I saw a ranking and St. Pauli was on place 15, the first one being Frankfurt and the second Dynamo Dresden (what is a known right wing club).

The club does a lot of social activism and most fans in Hamburg are pretty normal social democrats. You are not wrong that there is an overlap of St. Pauli fans and the left scene in Hamburg. It's not a stretch that a militant person from Hamburg would also be a fan of this club. That's about it and how it probably ended up on that list.

Also the squatted building you are talking about is now owned by the city that basically allows its current use.
Potential competitor: North (Gympie) to South (Varsity Lakes) on Brisbane Australia’s ‘inner city’ train network. 260km (160 miles) for AU$20 (£10.50) - cheaper off peak or with concession. Buses also extend this further in each direction using the same ticket.

> so genetically different

Well, it seems likely they were less-well adapted to local diseases than the locals. But I'd guess that childhood exposure may be enough to explain this, plus cultural adaptation? They certainly died in large numbers, in early days; IIRC, only 10% of Company employees made it alive to retirement back home. (I presume, but don't know, that more upper-class Mughals survived to equivalent age.)

Also, as TFA mentions in passing, many of these were the same strategies as practiced by upper-class locals: "adopted punkhas from the Mughals", swung by servants of course, wore light clothes, adopted a schedule designed around heat, not around far-northern winter daylight hours.

Most likely but it's a lot harder to do that once the law is in place.

My rule for home automation at my house: a stranger walking in the front door should be able to intuitively use my house without instruction.

Extra features are fine, but if they cannot turn on the light without 6 steps, then it's wrong.

eg: my kitchen lights are all on Z-Wave dimmers. Each is still a normal wall switch to the average person and can be fully controlled from there. I probably use the switches 20% of the time and voice control about 75%(other automations account for maybe 5%). Anyone who enters my kitchen will be able to have light, I just get the conveniences.

Another example: my living room has no ceiling lights, just floor lamps. These are not setup with automation because I have not found a way to control them that makes sense to non-trained users. Therefore we keep the traditional lights.

I worked as a compiler engineer at a big tech company in SV and lived very comfortably, was able to put a lot of money aside. The demand outstrips the supply, it's hard to hire qualified people, so the salaries have to be high to attract those qualified.

Tangentially, I think the supply is small because compiler engineering is not a fashionable field of study. Everyone wants to do "AI" these days.

Technical debt is risk. Just like in financial systems, taking on SOME risk is how you make money, but you need to measure it and minimize it and be prepared for if the risks taken all end unfavorably. This product risk (see also dependency risk) is intertwined with the combined risk of other projects going on, whether they're public relations risk, technical risk, staff risk, etc. and taking on too much risk means you have too many flipped coins in the air to count on them all landing favorably for you, even if they're weighted.

Ok, but that doesn't seem to have anything to do with US/UK pay disparities. US pay also doesn't include all the taxes and other expenses being paid by the employer in relation the the employee. E.g., the employer's portion of the health insurance premiums won't be included.
With CAA Netgear gets to decide which CA is authorized for netgear.com and they can cut a deal with that CA for any rules they want.

Facebook, for example, has a deal with their preferred CA which says that all certificates for names under fb.com and facebook.com are only to be issued with authorization from Facebook's central security team.

So even if you can fulfil that CA's normal checking perfectly for fake-bank.facebook.com, if you haven't got someone on the inside of the Facebook security team you can't get a working certificate for your fake bank social media scam.
