What I never properly understood is whether these caps appear anywhere on your contracts, if they don't then net neutrality should[1] not be necessary and if they do then it should not apply.

Lawful workweek in nl is 40 hours I'd wager the others are similar, with perhaps one exception.
I'm having trouble seeing how anything you said in this comment is relevant to anything I wrote in mine. So much so I am tempted to ask if you accidentally replied to the wrong person.

Among other things, I never "wrote off the entire concept of politeness", the article I was talking about didn't include a ton of expletives, I never commented on how convincing or not the article was and I don't remember the article itself doing so either.

That's actually what made the comments on politeness, and reaching more people that way, even weirder in context (which is why they stuck with me, funny how that works).
No; you're attempting to evade the central point by changing the argument to a typical Republican/Democratic slugfest.

I don't care about the merits of Congressional prerogatives here, which is an entirely secondary point. The point is that the Founding Fathers believed that Congress would defend its own prerogatives against the executive. This has been proven false: a model where government is dominated by partisan prerogatives is far more descriptive of reality than one where branches-of-governments pursue their own prerogatives.

Your latter point--that a Republican Congress investigated and obstructed a Democratic President--is true, but it is, again, an indication that Congress is driven by the needs of the political parties who happen to be running it at the time, not as an institution in itself.

This is entirely contrary to what the vaunted Founding Fathers intended or expected. Not least because the main thinkers among them thought the system would prevent the development of political parties. The Constitution was theorized to deal with abstractions that don't correspond to reality, and it doesn't even consider the most important driver of politics and governance not only in the contemporary world but in the world that existed a year after it was ratified.

In a world where political parties are accepted as a given and inevitable, no one would write anything like the Constitution and expect it to be effective. And no one has: even after WW2, when the US was drafting constitutions for its defeated opponents, it went with documents entirely unlike our own.
One other distinction to make is that auto-update typically runs the same code on a lot of computers, rather than a RAT which is good at running code on a specific computer.

There's still room for problems... the auto-update could deliver a special version for special people or deliver a version that has special code targeted at run-time, but it's not as easy. And I'd love to see work on minimizing problematic updates as well.

The fantastic world of Russian book covers
I've never taken a job in 20 years because of money and I don't advise anyone to do that. I choose a company for culture, the people I work with, the kinds of projects, and quality of life. Also a desire to ship things and not spend my days in meetings or dealing with bureaucracy, a desire not to work with jerks, and a desire not to work on lines of business that I find morally repugnant. The latter criteria have made most of my FAANG offers quite unappealing. But I love going to work at a startup with my buddies, building cool tools that help people, and spending plenty of time with my family.

Yep. One time I tracked down a stolen iPhone on Craigslist. The police were impressed I had the serial number, the original box, the receipt, and the photo showed the email address the iPhone was locked to.

They gave the guy a call, he answered with "no hablo inglés" so they hung up and told me, "Sorry, nothing we can do."
Giving marketers the most powerful conversion automation tool they've ever had
Hey,

For the last 16 months, we've been working on Embedery, our conversion and behaviour engine for engaging and converting your website visitors. Take a look here: https://embedery.com

Embedery gives you a selection of widgets to capture visitor details, show offers, onboard users and more. We're particularly proud of our Storyboards platform, which lets you map out exactly whom your widgets should be shown to, which actions should trigger them, which devices they should be shown on and a whole lot more. We want to give marketers the most powerful conversion automation tool they've ever had!

We just launched on Betalist, and we thought you'd be interested in covering us as similar stories you've covered have done really well!

I'll be here all day if you have any questions for us!

Thanks for the time!

- Nile & Stephen from Embedery
i never said to be dishonest - maybe I wasn't clear enough. What I meant was this "You specify from the get-go you want to hire the guy, but he'll start on a 3-6 month trial basis. If all goes well, you'll continue and give him a full contract".
Two other problematic things.

- Doctors have no idea how much anything costs.

- Pricing has nothing/little to do with the actual cost of providing a service.
Basically, if you take a p-hacked hypothesis and attempt to use it predictively, it falls apart.

That's kinda ... useful, actually.

It feels like this is sort of the same issue with overfitting in ML. Attempts to use ML results predictively often fail in hilarious ways.
One simple scenario to break 1 TB:

- Netflix in 4K (7 GB/hour), 2 hours per weekday on 2 screens. That's 560 GB in a 4-week month.

- Google Stadia in 4K (35 GB/hour), 2 hours per week on 2 screens. That's 560 GB in a 4-week month.

Bam, 1,120 GB/month.

Ask HN: How does a newbie assess their value and negotiate a salary?
Hello HN,

What are some things to keep in mind for an entry level fresh graduate while negotiating a salary at a company? Since they're primarily new to the industry, they're not backed by experience and are generally clueless about their value. Wisdom comes with age and experience so it's only natural they learn with time. What are still some things you'd recommend to keep in mind?
Another language with a syntax similar to Clojure is the Hy language built on Python (I just released a book on Hy https://leanpub.com/hy-lisp-python so I admit positive bias for the language). I used to use Clojure a lot for two consulting customers and I need to try it again. I think the project libpython-clj https://github.com/clj-python/libpython-clj looks very interesting for those of us who like Lisp and need access to deep learning tools.
I don't follow your logic. If you're working 4x8 rather than 5x8 for the same pay (as discussed in the article) you are not losing any money and have another whole day to "hustle".
IdeaVim in intellij isn't too bad, it even reads your .vimrc (just source ~/.vimrc in a ~/.ideavimrc file) and while it doesnt have much in terms of vim plugin support, the basic vim vocabulary is there which has been good enough for me.

i had to switch to go/java for work and this has worked better for me than simply writing everything in vim - although vim-go is great, i enjoy being able to run and debug my tests and code in intellij.
Yeah I get it, and would probably do the same (I'd rather pay more for lasts, as I gather you would, but if that isn't working then sure cheap and replace).

It was just the discrepancy between the initial reluctance to throw away, (even though it had been replaced, implying to me ecological /'this is still fundamentally sound and repairable' reasoning) and the ultimate conclusion to throw away every year.

No judgement, just confusion.

On a tangent, I dislike more and more the unrepairability and complexity of things. I'd love to be capable of making everything for myself, from basic components (not necessarily scratch). Still not for eco reasons, it may be worse (less efficient) in some cases in that regard, but just to know how everything worked and was put together, and be able to fix it all because I built it in the first place.

It really depends on the direction.

A lot of times, devs want to move in a new direction of whatever the hip tech stack is this year. This would help their career by adding the tech to their resume but the business benefit is almost always net negative.

Rather than arguing with a developer, they might just give a response that is outside of the developers' domain. The real reason is that it was a bad idea for the business.
> ISP's pay for ingress traffic

What makes you think that? Most everyone will peer with residential ISPs for free. There have even been issues with residential ISPs trying to get paid for ingress traffic, because they control the only network path to their customers which means they can charge monopoly prices to video competitors like Netflix who want to send traffic to their users on that ISP.

> so by setting a data cap that impacts only the egregious data hogs, it means they can charge normal users a smaller rate, rather than subsidize a few users by charging everyone more.

An ISP's costs are dominated by things like staff and trucks and electricity that depend little if at all on how much data someone transfers. None of the other customers are going to get a discount from heavy users using less because there is no meaningful savings there.

The reason for data caps is some combination of anticompetitive practices and price discrimination.

If you tell people they have a data cap, they'll try to minimize usage. Which is to say minimize Netflix, which counts toward the data cap -- but hey look, the ISP's own video service doesn't.

They also assume that if you use a lot of data, you derive a lot of value from internet service, so even if the data hardly costs them anything, the fact that it's valuable to you makes them want you to have to pay more for a business connection.

Both of these are stupid reasons which they only get away with because of the lack of competition.
thanks both of you for the clarity.
Honesty I can’t imagine how a private company can offer single trigger RSUs. I would never accept an offer at a place where I knew I would have to write them a year after joining to cover taxes for illiquid not-quite-equity.
Also possible, but more difficult and significantly slower.

I don't think that was necessarily due to your threat. I've noticed that often the first one or two or even three messages about an issue that I send to Amazon seem to be answered by bots (or people following a poor script) and they miss the point of my message completely, each time, no matter how clear and exact I am.* It's only after multiple messages that a real (free-thinking) human seems to actually read it and respond appropriately.

* I swear it seems like there's a simple algorithm that scans the message for trigger words and then chooses a response based solely on those trigger words. I've received responses to issues completely unrelated to my entire message, except for the fact that they're about something I briefly mentioned in an aside or something like that. It's horribly horribly frustrating, even when I know it's going to happen.

Fair enough. I was attempting to be succinct, but the correction is appropriate (I believe you did say that Signal was "standard" and "best").

Btw, I did find your essay persuasive. In my search for a paid email provider (as an alternative to Gmail) I've decided not to go for one that uses E2E encrypted email. If I need secure messaging, I'll use Signal (or something similar) but for email I would rather go for features and ease of use than E2E encryption.
You convinced me of the opposite the moment you suggested the user leave the browser to get sane defaults from an IRC-client.

Not-installing-nor-configuring-anything is such a vastly superior UX that we need not unlock any more levels of discussion. Discord's web app saves easily accessible history remotely[1] and has sane code-formatting defaults. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen that for the default configuration of an IRC client on any distro. For OP's use case of "just let me communicate with the devs for a bit, please" that's the ball game as far as UX is concerned.

[1] You can apparently use Discord without saving the history. But the user has to explicitly go off the path that the interface provides in order to do that.
You can't really. There's nothing stopping people from just moving them somewhere else, and then the ownership is anonymous again. If you blacklist all of the destinations, what if they send 0.00000001 to every single known exchange, are all of those addresses now on the blacklist? Of course not, this sort of thing is just nonsensical with an understanding of the system.
It didn’t happen when we had weekends. But they workaholics or pressure will have them work weekends. The 4 day week seem moot point in that regard. The other issue come up later on when people get used to 4 day work week is that they eventually have chores that can’t be done in 3 day weekends. Sort of like the rule where if you give x amount of time fir a task, you will likely use all of it.
This face recognition problem is getting seriously out of control. I hope that we'll find a way to prevent the obvious problems it is bringing, but I'm getting increasingly fearful that we won't.

Story time. These folks funded a restaurant industry magazine "startup". I got hired to build their online version.

The people I was dealing with were severely out of their depth and all over the place frankly. I was very confused as to who was giving these people money.

They had me meet them at their "office", which was actually the lunch area in the back if an IQOS-branded office. Eventually I put it together, and confirmed that it was in fact funded by a tobacco company.

The magazine flopped shortly thereafter. I imagine the intent was to become popular amongst restaurant staff, then push this IQOS device.

I put "startup" in quotes, because they never had a viable business plan or the ability to follow anything through. The while thing made a lot more sense when I realized it was a tobacco shill project.

This happened in Vancouver.

> Do you think that a 3rd party should be able to judge and ban you at will for something that you say in a group chat when everyone else in said group chat is fine with it?

Yes. If I were running Discord and learned that there was some Klan group advocating hate against black people, I'd shut it down – even if everyone in that chat was fine with the discussion.

It wouldn't be beneficial to me to have my platform be a host for that content, and it's not beneficial to society for me to facilitate hateful people easily connecting with each other.
What are your thoughts about it being an open source extension?
I'm not any kind of lawyer but my guess is you could get a default judgement and then employ some sort of bounty hunter to attempt to collect on them.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the server is hosted by a trusted source all the normal users can log is messages and nicknames. You can join anonymously. That does not identify you for the purpose of law enforcement.
I believe you are missing the point of net neutrality: Comcast can sell a 200 KB data connection, but needs to provide the advertised service transparently.

what is should be forbidden would be to advertise an unlimited plan and then post-facto soft ban users that actually test the unlimited description, or deprioritize connection to expensive services (like YouTube, Netflix or torrents)
Isn't that kinda the same as evidence generated from a unlawful action?

We could apply the same logic/law to that.
'Subsidize' isn't really accurate, though. For every major ISP, if everyone was using their connection at the maximum throughput allowed by their plan 24/7... everything would still work fine. The data caps exist solely so they can squeeze people for money beyond what they actually need to maintain the network.

Your flex is quite strange on a "hackers" forum. I guess you are very good at following the rules and very bad at questioning them or pushing against them. Good for you I guess.
Other software could do that too without you having any idea, surely that's an argument for being careful with permissions and how your software runs rather than against Discord in particular?

And so does the OP, I'd wager. Personally I found the basis of the OP's criticism sufficiently self-evident to not require dissertation. If you didn't, that's fine too—but it's lazy criticism to declare that because YOU formed a different opinion that the OP was being lazy.
Medicine changed so much after ~1880 (or maybe ~1900) that there's little to learn from the prior era.
There's a recommended book on algorithms which is very nice (red cover, but can't recall title).

Bit of a tangent, but, for anyone who's interested, I'm guessing the book was Steven Skiena's The Algorithm Design Manual [0], as it is well-regarded and has a red cover.

Also, even more tangentially, there are videos of the author's Algorithms course lectures online from 2012 which I went through once and they were pretty good [1].

(There were one or two that had audio issues or issues seeing what he projected on the screen, but there are multiple years' worth of videos, so you can choose an alternate from an earlier year if necessary and the slides are available there too, so you can follow along with them, if need be; audio-only files are are also available if you want them).
