I think it's important to note that while there were a very high number of repayments, the purpose of that bailout was to transfer asset risk to the larger taxpayer body. Regardless if the initial payment price was repaid, the risk profile still is sitting somewhere.

- You value a car on your sales lot on your books: $10,000

- Real value is probably, $5,500, the spoiler and crappy tint doesn't 2x the value

- Your car is currently on fire (act of god) so value is scrap

- Buddy who runs a bank (you pay on the side because, o this ins't the first on fire car you tried to sell trash for cash) offers you $9,500, a bargin

- You are in

- 2 years later, pay off bank buddy (maybe political donation) b/c you are the one of the 9 people who can sell cars

- Throw press conference because you saved tax payers 10k + horrible risk if I failed

- Bank share holders (Tax payers) own pile of scrap

he incentives are mismanaged because the calculated risk of a bank failing is evaluated purely on the chaos induced, not the existing status quo which for joe schmoe is crazy but HFT guy can make bank off of (so sold as all upside if you are smart, but is restricted in apparent but fog like ways). Maybe said bank is actually terrible, but we won't know because they are a rise together, never fall together cartel (malicious or not, fact of reality)

TSA employees are paid for security theatre - not actual security. I don't mean to denigrate these folks too much but ... they're not exactly the kind of people I'd hire to, say, walk my dog. They stand there and pretend they're doing "security" but what they're really doing is bureaucracy and political patronage.

Suppose for a moment we wanted to implement the kind of security that TSA pretends to represent. We'd thus deputize them as part of DoD (or DHS) and they'd carry MP5s and have actual training standards, weight standards, quarterly fitness reports, have to get security clearances etc. etc. They'd do drills at a mock airport, and we'd eventually do away with the "checkpoint" style of security at airports that's really just an invitation for a suicide bomber.

I once saw a TSA employee at LAX insist on putting a kid's balloon from Disneyland, that was clear and 100% see-through, through the X-ray machine. I watched this and, as I suspected, the TSA agent never even considered that because the balloon was filled with helium it of course wouldn't move through the machine on the conveyor belt and it got stuck. "Checkpoint" indefinitely shut down.

Security Theatre, indeed.
What’s the next step from here? Public profiles themselves aren’t very useful in of themselves.

I was replying to the parent comment that said that basically any errors were unacceptable, and that ever having to repeat himself was a deal breaker. This seems like a ridiculous position to me given that, as you point out, humans are much better at comprehension, and even they can't hit this standard.
> problematic "rolling" updates

Rolling updates for me have not been problematic.

I've had a few updates that gave an error message, and they were easily fixed in one minute after searching the arch website.

I think one was a key expired - I had to manually update it and redo the update process.

The other I can recall was a package that had become obsolete/conflicting and a question had to be answered.

In general rolling updates are a tiny blip every few months.

In comparison, the several debian based distributions I've run have been a "lost weekend" type of upgrade for major updates.
A lot of this and some other design inefficiencies are due to modern EU pedestrian collision safety mandates and testing, which I think is a fair compromise to make, and they have since been adopted in some other places as well but they long affected most North American vehicles due to global standardization.

Don’t overthink this:

„ It's odd to see Valley types, in light of the FB WFH news, debating whether comp should follow a 'cost plus' or 'fraction of value added' model.

So I wasn't sure where to opt-out at first.

I clicked privacy center, ( https://triplebyte.com/privacy-center ), couldn't find the option, but chose 'Opt out of Personal Information Sharing' because why not?

After clicking the button I had to click a confirmation email to get this approved. Then it said it would happen within 30 days and I may be required to show govt ID.

Why? I am already verified with my login account. It is not like I am doing something sensitive like changing a password or email. And what is this about needing to show govt id? They have zero reason to need govt ID to opt out of 'Personal Information Sharing' of all things.

Honestly tempted to just delete my profile. (That may also require govt ID.)

To be fair they sent an email to everyone who had signed up; I received the same email.
Please consider making this change opt-in rather than opt-out. Imagine an employer finding someone's profile and seeing a mismatch between their qualifications on Triplebyte versus what they might have said in an interview, and having a negative impact on their prospects.

I do think it's an urgent matter and something that can and will come to bite you later- HN Is how I found out myself and I don't really think right now is the moment to play silly games with people's privacy, and not everybody may keep in touch with Triplebyte after their assessments.
The Iceberg Secret, Revealed
I have. debian, raspbian, ubuntu. A few times it has gone well, only to find there was cruft left over from previous installs.

"it should simply work" is not a given on any linux.

I'm not denigrating those distributions, there are lots of reasons to have a stable release without a lot of things changing (especially development).

It's just that changing lots of assumptions at once is fragile.

> [...] a fresco — paint on wet plaster instead of on canvas. That meant the work couldn't be moved

That's not really true - detaching frescos from walls is a technique practiced since Roman times (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detachment_of_wall_paintings). However it's probably expensive and labour-intensive, and in this case I imagine nobody wanted to pay for it...
I interviewed via Triplebyte last year, and thoroughly enjoyed the service. Before this I would have (and did) wholeheartedly recommended them to anyone; the process was great from the candidate’s perspective and I also have confidence in their ability to accurately evaluate candidates’ skills.

After this announcement, though, I’m afraid that faith has completely crumbled. Even if Ammon had showed up in this thread and immediately announced that this was a terrible idea and they were rolling it back immediately, the mere fact that they were considering doing this is a huge blow. It doesn’t help that I skimmed the email when I got it this afternoon and didn’t even realize it was an opt-out; it was only when I saw this thread that I took a closer look and realized that the email was lacking a CTA button at the bottom for a reason. That seems incredibly shady to me and instantly changed my impression of the company.

Take heed, other companies: it only takes an instant to destroy your company’s reputation, and it’s incredibly difficult to win back that confidence.

Indeed, it does require a gov't ID to delete you profile. Triplebyte is starting to look like Keyser Soze here :)
That's exactly why I didn't reference copyright in my comment, even though the article itself centered around it. The word "probably" was carefully chosen as well. There are definitely things that people do that don't make money, but few of them ever reach any significant scale. The major exception I can think of these days is the Linux kernel, which famously was a "just for fun" project. Another is the GNU project, which basically exists to advance some philosophical principles.

But, to a first approximation, in a capitalist system, if $THING doesn't make money, $THING isn't going to get done at any scale which matters. There are exceptions when philosophical principles and inherent human desires (such as curiosity and artistic expression) are involved. The corollary here, in true "the market adapts" fashion, is that if $THING is done and an entity with sufficient money dislikes $THING enough, then $THING will no longer be happening. I'm not sure whether the initial statement, or the corollary is fundamentally more distasteful.
Yes! For example, opening Visual Studio Code:

If I type VS... Visual Studio Code! Cool. (wonder why it did not suggest Visual Studio itself which I also have installed, buy hey I got what I wanted)

If I type VSC... ??? config files and some random XMLs from the deep realms of AppData

If I type vscode... No results, try a web search!

If I type Visual Studio... THE Visual Studio shows, but no Code in sight

If I type Visual Studio Code... There it is again!

The whole rigmarole is just... Huh?! How does one even reach that point? I can't think about any naive buggy way that could reasonably cause such discrepancy of results. Just search by Filename and Display Name! Or whatever criteria, but be consistent!
Programming teams almost certainly talked over IRC back then though?
My problem with this is the automatic opt in, using my profile and details for more than I intended for them to use it for (regardless of whether I technically signed something staying they _could_ do this, it is borderline unethical to use my information for this purpose), only having a week to "opt out", and not knowing what opt out even does. Sending an email to everyone doesn't cure any of these points.
I really miss lifting weights. Gyms have been closed for three months due to the pandemic, and I can feel my muscle mass evaporating. I can do some bodyweight exercises at home, but there's no room for weights in a tiny flat :-(.
I feel like this is a major part of the equation. The employee in a tech metro area has non-remote options, and the remote only employee in a non-tech area does not. The company has to compete in every market, and since the majority of employees are concentrated the high cost market gets its price while the low cost market looses out.

Remote still has a host of issues to work out, mostly with time zones that make it less desirable for single geo employers.
This was an eye opening post for me and I hope it gets more visibility.

From my reading, they could look, and if the phone display is on, fair game.

The key judgement here appears to be whether some action, and or change in the state of the person and their property, made the information available.

Entirely passive means still apply, however briefly.
> So you agree with me that people who say that are not sincere, and not legitimate.

I don’t agree, sorry. They seem perfectly sincere; I’m not sure what you mean by “legitimate” in this context (what would “legitimate” behavior look like here? Never disengaging from another person’s attempt at a conversation, no matter how absurd the priors are? This doesn’t feel like a reasonable standard to demand of others.)

I put “threat” in scare-quotes because I thought it was obvious that this isn’t really a threat in any meaningful sense. Equating it to abuse is specious and distasteful.
I just wrote a similar thing. It is the action taken and state change at issue here.

I haven't rented for business in a few years, but every time I did the difference in cost between a "compact" and a few sizes up was trivial, perhaps two or three dollars a day. I generally jumped up to the largest sedan size because the cost was negligible and the cars were typically much nicer. Additionally, if they were out of that size, they'd bump you up to an SUV for free.

All this to say, at the pricing I've seen there is very little reason for someone renting a car to choose to rent a compact. The rental company can always upgrade people who booked a compact into a larger car, but if you have too many compacts you're screwed.

For what it's worth, this was what happened to me. They regularly send marketing emails and updates, which I skim from time to time. It wasn't until I saw this thread that I realized that one particular email out of the (actually checks notes) 62 (!!!) unsolicited emails they've sent me in the last 12 months was this important.
For each and every shell or perl script that I create and use privately? No, certainly not.

That's also what seems worst about it. Unfortunately there seem to be few other choices these days.
What a foolish decision to make. Knowing what you know about HN users, did you expect that this would go well? You can pretty much assume that Triplebyte will be persona non grata henceforth, especially as word spreads that you are publicly exposing people and only giving 1 week to opt out.

Extremely foolish and really shines a bad light on your decision making capabilities. Why would I put my trust in a company that is so shady?

You will change this bad decision and apologize, but you have betrayed the trust of all the people who have used you. Even if you change your policy now, we know you will change it back in the near future. No one will use your services again, because of this betrayal. You just killed your entire company in one fell swoop.

I’m shocked that someone associated with YC could make such a demonstrably poor decision.
Not to mention that the only reference to needing to opt-out is a veiled mention buried in the second paragraph. I skimmed the email briefly, said “oh that’s neat, what a great idea” and filed it under “things for the next job hunt” thinking I’d turn on my profile then.
What We Leave Behind
> Threats are actually not a valid consequence of speech.

Not sure what you mean by "valid". Sounds like a moral stance. Thoughts are a consequence of speech. A threat is an expression of a thought.

> Do you understand that the whole "not freedom from consequence" platitude is essentially just telling an assault victim that it is their fault

No, it does not. Trying to abridge expression, to prevent misinterpretation is impractical. Defensively speaking to that end, is not an element to free speech. It's specifically in opposition.

> "Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequence" = "Shut up or you will be punished"

Or you will be rewarded.

> That's probably what Harvey Weinstein or Jefferey Epstein told his victims.

I'm glad you have the right to express your beliefs, although I disagree with how you interpret speech.

Just because someone acts virtuously or within their rights, does not mean they are given privilege, nor guarantee that they will be rewarded, nor guaranteed that there will be no retribution. Speech rights do not solve imbalances of power. The philosophy of free speech, as I understand it, is not about individuals per se. Over time, enough people will have enough opportunity to solve their own problems (including power imbalance), by cultural change.

Ah yes, and at home I am not obligated to use the company desk/chair that everyone else has, so I have a more comfortable setup. Plus I get to pick the temperature, and I can use my speakers instead of wearing headphones.

I can take my own mouse/keyboard to the office, but I'm sure someday that will be forbidden in the name of information security. Sigh.

Still, my home office is a lot more comfy! Plus I can open the windows!
If we're going to be fair, we have to acknowledge the history of email over the last thirty years: spam, spam filters, and the "Mark as Spam" button.

Email is what I use to notify my customers of a 25% sale, not to tell them that I'm going to plaster their data all over the internet in violation of the spirit of the service I'm providing. I use regular mail for that.
Oh boy, another "private entities can do what they want" argument. What's the point in saying freedom of speech only applies in public places and protection from the government, and then turning around and handing over control of the biggest tool for sharing information (the Internet) to private companies? Sorry, but the "private companies can do what they want" argument is old and tired when it comes to censorship.
Another example is VS Code, when I found out I was very surprised.

I'm interested in knowing whether you surveyed at least some of your users (random ones, who aren't coworkers or acquaintances) what they thought about the change you just announced. I can understand that as a company you may wish for secrecy before you make a strategic move such as this one, but this sounds like the kind of change that'd be good to ask users about before doing it. Or maybe this didn't seem like a controversial move to you guys? (If so, bummer, but I hope you can still prevent or fix a potentially serious mistake.)

FWIW, I hadn't heard of TripleByte before, but this is not a good way of hearing about it, nor would it encourage me to become a user, if people's fears match what you're actually planning to do. If they're correct, it sounds like you're about to intentionally or accidentally implement a dark pattern. I hope that's not the case.
Wow, it's like it's following every dark pattern in the book. Wouldn't have found it out myself.
You know what makes an open office tolerable? Having lots of personal space! Where I work we have really big desks, with ~2ft tall frosted glass walls, so it's not so bad.

That’s particularly strange given that they didn’t even need me to show ID for them to get me a job. The first time during the entire process that anyone had any proof of my legal existence was when I filled out my I-9 so I could get a paycheck. They flew me across the country for interviews and invited me to the Triplebyte office for dinner on nothing more solid than my email address and a friendly face.
If so, it would be a reverse conspiracy. The conspiracy folks certainly would come to weird conclusions if he would have died. And prominent folks usually sit in the front rows, the most insecure places in a plane.

But I wrote that idea very early after the crash. I didn't expect that so many survived a plane crash, even into 4 houses. Now it became clear that many survived. Almost a miracle to me. Very lucky.

My initial idea was some dust in the engines, because that was the very first flight after the lockdown. Bad maintenance.
