This is such a bad idea that I think it was already a mistake to post it to HN without using a throwaway account -- even if it is not a real-life inspired post, your manager doesn't know that. I would delete the post.

The main reason it's a bad idea is that if your coworker decides not to leave after all, you've just limited their growth at your co, perhaps permanently, and invisibly to them.

I think the only way something like this could work is if you're able to find out the true largest source of unhappiness for the coworker, and then present it to your manager as a general problem (unattributed to your coworker) and say you're seriously worried it's starting to affect morale.
Nobody gets killed by Google Translate etc. messing up, so no sweat, throw together something that works 99% or the time.

I looked at Wasabi some time ago, but their pricing is a LOT less simple than their headline says it is.

The major caveats are hidden away in their pricing FAQ: they charge a 1TB minimum if you use less, and there's a 90 days minimum retention period, meaning if you update a file a few times you will pay for the full 90 days of every intermediate version. Additionally, they reserve the right to make you pay for egress if it looks like you transfer more than you have stored.

So all in all, Wasabi might be the right fit for you if you store >1TB of files that are infrequently updated and get less than 1 download/month on average. If you fit that use case, I think their free egress pricing is awesome, but it's definitely not for everyone.
I think as far as learning to code, bootcamps aren't much better than following tutorials online. I do, however, think that bootcamps are good at getting people who already know how to code to learn how to code well, and code in a job environment. There's probably a good market for classes aimed at people who have already learned basic coding through online tutorials but now want to refine their skills to the point that they are viable in the job market.
Lmfao this is so wrong it's absurd.

The categorical imparative is absolutely supposed to be the antithesis of consequentialism. It is an implementation of deontology. Deontology comes about as an attempt to escape consequentialism

The fact that it breaks down back into consequentialism is as a result of deontology being not actually different from consequentialism

Probably like music, where a lot of the people who listen on Spotify didn't pay for music before.
It's kind of the point, in two ways. First, the constant usage of the Bible to justify political discourse is both a staple of the USA and also painfully stupid. It doesn't matter how nice of an imaginary picture is painted by the "city upon a hill"; it's still a religious and rose-tinted portrait. Exodus probably didn't happen, and so it is a nice story (like Harry Potter) but not worth bringing to the policy table.

Second, the Bible is just not very well-translated. Consider this instead:

> You are the salt of the earth.

> Your flavor brings merit and mirth.

> But use too much extra, anybody could tell ya

> Oversalted food has no worth.

> You are the light of the world.

> Like a town on a hill, you are pearled.

> But in light we bask, only while it's unmask'd

> So fly your town's flags high and unfurled.

Still terrible, but at least now it rhymes correctly.
I think there's an element of truth to the scapegoat argument.

By all reports, N26 was not doing so well in the UK. Other established challenger banks such as Monzo and Starling are taking up the mindshare of people wanting to move from an incumbent bank, leaving little room for N26.

It may be possible that with just 200-250k current accounts in the UK, it wasn't deemed worthwhile to go through the effort of gaining a UK banking license to keep their UK expansion efforts going. The competition is just too hot.

Résumé/CV: https://leandroardissone.com/

Email: leandro@ardissone.com

I’m a full stack developer who has worked with several companies around the world since the late 1990s. I have been doing back-end and front-end development of web apps, also on hybrid mobile apps but more recently I’ve been working with serverless infrastructures in the search of better performant and scalable applications. I am passionate about new technologies and I am always learning them.
I know well. I have read most CCDB posts and architecture documentation. Pretty good job.

There are several ways to map a row to K-V stores, and different databases have chosen different approaches, I'm not referring specifically to CCDB's.

Whether you do [idA: [valA, valB, valC]] or [id/colA: valA, id/colB: valB, id/colC: valC], what I say is that I believe it is less efficient than [idA, valA, valB, valC], which actually also supports more clearly the case of compound keys (aka [idA, idB, idC, valA, ....]). Both are the ways Postgres stores rows.
Perhaps because Monzo is still relatively weak for sending/receiving money internationally.
Motivation is like excitement or eagerness, when you have it it's amazing, but when you don't it's hard to do anything.

So stop relying on something so unreliable. Depend on your self discipline.

Write down what you need to accomplish and make yourself do it, every day, even if it's for 5-10 minutes. Eventually it will become second nature.
The issue I have with your statement is not that you're guaranteed in any way to beat the market, but saying that investing in individual stocks is gambling. It just isn't true.

Again, if you have no more than 5% of your portfolio in an individual stock then a 20% drawdown on that one stock is not going to significantly hurt you.

People should feel free to decide for themselves if they want to spend the time to actively invest vs throwing everything into an ETF and no one should be shaming them into thinking it's akin to going to a roulette table in Vegas.

As someone in tech, I've done quite well investing in high quality tech companies like Apple, Netflix, Amazon, and Nvidia over the years. I keep my 401K in a broad index fund but enjoy actively investing a part of my wealth.

That's a great question. I don't know all the features in their offering but here's some of the ways I believe we're different off the top of my head: we run on any data warehouse, you can use SQL to build data models, and we can sync any kind of data, not just users. Would love to hear if you've had experience with Personas and what you like/dislike.

You need to spent a year of two being really middle class in the US.
5 years ago i wrote a C# code analyzer that found/suggested and fixed async versions of EntityFramework extension methods in your async functions.

Example: if my function was async and it had a .ToList() function call inside it would suggest to use .ToListAsync() and with a click auto fix it in your function

here is the repo for reference :

https://github.com/aviatrix/YARA

It took me couple of days to wrap my head around all of the new concepts, but it was quite fun!
To get it integrated with the IDE, you need "CodeAnalyzer" class, and that gets executed automagically and provides annotations in the IDE :)
Because in a capitalist world without this kind of safeguard creators would all be at the mercy of money rich megacorps who can copy any work and out-maneuver them in distribution and advertising.

All while making platforms richer.
I'd say the exact opposite, especially on desktop. Most native desktop apps can't run without access to the filesystem, for instance.

I was referring to the WeChat web app vs. the WeChat Mac/Windows app; the web version has no access to your filesystem, but they are not allowing people to use it anymore. The Mac/Windows versions could theoretically read any files on your system, spy on your clipboard, portscan your private LAN, scan Wi-Fi networks, and lots of other nasty things that the web version cannot.

Also with webapps it's much easier to inject JavaScript to "edit" their behavior. Desktop apps are often compiled to machine code (or have mysterious pieces thereof which are) which makes it difficult.
Maybe we could use deep learning? Oh, wait...
I've always found this slightly odd, since Monzo is an actual bank (and thus receives FSCS protection) whereas Revolut is not (and does not).
I commute by bicycle, and my brain doesn't absorb things well through spoken word (so audio books aren't very useful to me). So I don't learn much new during my commute.

However, that commute time is of immense value to me. Much like shower time, I often find myself reviewing various technical problems and coming up with "aha" insights about them. Perhaps not the sort of learning that you're talking about, but I think it counts as learning nonetheless.
tacit knowledge is hard enough for a person to describe, much harder to do in a company context

IMO if the full answer to a question doesn't exist in a single brain, you'll have a hard time reconstructing what really happened without a challenger-level investigation

Yes, Germany uses the Maestro cards, not Credit Cards like MasterCard or Visa. Since that's what all the shops + ATMs take, that's the card you want.

People might create things all the time - creating things that are actually worth sharing takes much more, though, because you'll first need to master the domain you work in. (Nobody is ripping off your "hello world" :)

That time investment is time you take away from other things. If that is also time that translates into money that actually enables you to live, the copier stands to benefit from your work, while you struggle for your livelihood.

That's why that is a problem. If there is no IP at all, you've limited the set of creators to people who are essentially independently wealthy and simultaneously want to actually invest time to master that domain. That's a small set.

Sure, once you fix the basic livelihood problem, copying might be good. Capitalism doesn't let you fix the livelihood problem. (Because it does attach value to your time)
Trivial anecdote:

My wife is with HSBC and the iOS app doubles as both a banking interface, and the authorisation code response generator.

When she's in a web browser and needs to generate a code for the HSBC website (eg to add a new payee), she has to log out of the phone app to be able to get to the response code UI.

It blows my mind every time she does it. How on earth did they come up with that UX. It's like they're actively trying to be awful.

Apologies to anyone reading this who worked on this at HSBC, but yikes!
What does 30x slower mean? Is this a benchmarking issue? Firefox UX responsiveness? Website responsiveness?

Personally, I've never had a problem with my daily firefox usage, perf is basically indistinguishable from other major browsers like Chrome and Edge.
Yup, i completely agree, especially on the budgeting.

The question should not be: do I have enough budget to make this pruchase. the question is: do I really need this thing I'm going to buy.

Budgets should be for estimating future spending or learning about your past spending behaviors. It's a tool for assessment, not a license to spend more.

My guess is that this would vary much between types of occupations. I can see that occupations involving highly repetitive actions (assembly line work etc) might cause problems. Many more varied, often outdoor, manual jobs strike me as putting a human fairly close to the kinds of activities for which our body evolved.

Anecdotally, every single fit, strong & able old person I've known has been a manual worker. Case in point: 90 year lifelong builder currently doing roofing work. 87 year old (my sailing instructor!) currently running (on the ground) his tree surgery business. Most lifelong office workers I know are barrel shaped and essentially disabled by their 50s.

The stats might be interesting, though I suspect they'd be pretty complex, different by region & nation, and highly confounded (by class, lifestyle, etc).
Interesting that you claim that, since I usually only hear the contrary (actively managed funds don't perform better and the fees are too high).

Does anyone have specific data on this?

Neither of these pages explain how the project works and why a musician would want to use one of the melodies.
Sure, I agree, but isn't that seen as a good thing in the capitalist perspective? Wouldn't you want to have that accumulation of wealth by the few, who can then wield that power, as a proponent of capitalism?

The problem is capitalism and the greed/ability to hoard wealth. The problem isn't that creators are having their work copied; art is going to be copied, that's what art is in the first place - inspiration, modification, creation from something else that already exists.

There ought not to be such capitalism that creates the 'need' for the copyright protections.

Kudos to natwest for adopting things like TouchID for authorising app logins, much earlier than anyone else.

I still ditched them for Monzo though, mostly because natwest's anti-fraud system was reliably triggered by my mostly-online transactions, 3-4 times a year.

I listen to my emotions. Often times when I’m frustrated or lacking motivation there’s a need or desire I’m not paying attention to. Productivity is not a win-lose, it’s a win-win for both conflicting sides of my self.
I built a lasersaur of my own last year! I put together a project writeup[1], and have been doing a little bit of development on my fork of the firmware in order to significantly speed up raster & fill engraving, and to and put in some quality of life software mods.[2]

Unfortunately the original creators have abandoned the project, but fortunately it's completely open source so it's still buildable. Mine cost about $7k for the parts and all the accessories I had to get along with it, but I think that there's a lot of low-hanging fruit in someone going through and updating a lot of the more expensive parts in the BOM. I saved about $2k by doing so and put together a spreadsheet linked to from [1], but there's definitely still room to upgrade the steppers to something cheaper and more powerful, etc. There was a good discussion in the mailing list[3] a few weeks ago about whether it still makes sense in 2020 to build a Lasersaur. I'm personally of the opinion that if you want a laser cutter for the purpose of creating stuff with it, the best option is going to be getting a Chinese cutter, doing a few upgrades, and buying Lightburn as your software interface. But if you want the experience of building / intimately knowing the machine and find that rewarding in and of itself, go for it.

+1 on this. I have containers set up for Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon logins (and all the apps they respectively own, that I of course do not have perfect knowledge of).

It's quite clunky to set up though. To add a site to a container, I have to open a new tab in the target container, go to the website, check "always open in this container" in the container menu, then open a new tab, then say "yes, always in this container" at the prompt.
We in fact do not know that NSLs of the form suggested in the root comment exist. Such an NSL, requiring developers to stop work on a project, would in fact be unprecedented. It is, in fact, a conspiracy theory. In reality, the exact opposite thing occurs: the USG-backed Broadcast Board of Governors actively funds cryptographic privacy technology, both through direct grants to projects and, to head off other conspiracy theories, in much harder-to-subvert grants to 3rd party pentesters to find and report vulnerabilities in those tools.
Good guide.

While I'm a big believer in this kind of saving, inflation is a reality and a huge deterrent for long term savings that doesn't involve some kind of interest, compound or not.

But then there was that 2008 economic crisis... sigh still, better to have savings than not and there are some decent (5% ish) savings accounts that generate interest with minimal risk.
I think it's pretty clear that the US expects to be treated exactly like they've treated other nations.

We used to try and do this in Confluence.

Felt good to know that stuff is neatly documented somewhere, but since no one ever knows where that was, it was of little value and few ever read it. People still tapped on shoulders and repeated the same mistakes.

It baffles me that an established company like Atlassian can’t get something as fundamental as search right. I can’t even find the content I myself created at times.

We have since switched to Nuclino (https://www.nuclino.com) and so far are having a better experience. It's as feature-packed, but the basics work as expected and are a lot more user-friendly.

Re-establishing a proper documentation culture in the team is still a challenge, but that’s not something a tool can solve.
Instant but you gotta pay. Also in Canada.

Funny that in countries like Chile transfers are free and instant.

MediaWiki is federated already, due to the interwiki links mechanism. Any large public wiki can have an editable list of shortcuts to other such wikis, and then a link such as [[otherwiki:Some Article]] will work just as well as a local one to [[Some Article]]. This is the exact same federation model as, e.g. email.
French banks are slow, but they provide good services. When i lived in the UK, i had only a debit card (maestro). If you wanted a mastercard you needed a credit card account where you needed to manually balance at the end of the month. Mind you this was 10 years ago, when the UK was Just introducing PIN code for every card transaction, a security feature found in France since the 90s.
In France you get mastercard as debit card or credit card bound to your current account.
And "free" isn't exactly accurate either. It depends on the account you have, many have a flat rate or some (large) amount of transfers included, others charge per action.

My impression is that banking is massively overpriced in Germany. I understand it's not trivial and "I can build that on a weekend", but I don't see the need to spend ~10 euros on the average checking account that has two dozens actions a month. The pricing is also extremely stable despite all the technological changes, which seems to suggest that as well - if you go by prices, running it all completely digital is as expensive as having somebody manually read a paper slip, punch in the numbers, stamp the paper and file it away.

This is the problem, no one believes the draw backs of leaving the EU even when businesses are literally pulling out of the country and directly saying it's because of regulatory divergence. It used to be that you could access 500m customers with one set of regulations. Now you can access 450m customers with one set of regulations, and you can access 60m with another, as yet undefined, set of regulations that are guaranteed to change over the next few years. It doesn't take a genius to see that that uncertainty is going to take a toll on business, but it does take a planet brain genius to know that's happening, hear from actually businesses making decisions based on it, and then decide it's not really an issue.
There are enough banks in UK. If a company cannot operate globally, not a big loss, plenty of others to choose from. Nothing bad to UK, only for the company itself.
Not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that purely algorithmically generated music isn't copyrightable. A copyright can only cover "significantly creative" works. One example is David Slater's "Monkey Selfie", the fact that the photo merely exists doesn't make it copyrightable, it matters how it was created. Had he taken the photo himself, it would be copyrightable. In this specific case, it was a computer that created the music, not a human.
