> Again, I don't disagree, but rather offer an alternative view, equally internally consistent. I have stayed at one job for more than a decade, in large part because I'm rather attached to the people I work with. To be sure, I got raises, and I was ready to quit over employment terms – but it'd take much more than 10%.

In my experience and talking with friends it is rare that changing jobs only jumps 10%. You are usually looking at a solid 30-50% increase in salary in early-mid career (~10 years). Outside the US, for late career there's a lower ceiling if you only consider local companies.

If you’ve ever tried paying your taxes in Bitcoin you’ll have discovered the limitation of this viewpoint.

The government monopoly isn’t over money. You can use and issue whatever money you can get others to accept.

The monopoly is over the denomination required to extinguish the liability that government has the legal power to impose upon you and while you live in its sovereign area. Aka taxation

Ultimately you cannot circumvent state money while there are states that control land areas. You will always need their money to pay taxes and that need is sufficient to allow a state to provision itself - since the only place to get the denomination is from the state in exchange for goods and services

Of course compile times increase with code size, that is not what people are talking about when they say "X language compiles slowly". They are talking about time per code size.

Messing with the type system is using it for things you really should not in any reasonable project. For instance, some of the Boost libs with their overgeneralizations that 99% of users do not need.
> If A is not not proven, it doesn't mean it is proven; it can still be a hypothesis.

Are you sure?

It seems to me if A is not not-proven, it is surely proven.

If A is still just a hypothesis, then it is not-proven, and isn't not not proven.

Think of Bitcoin, there's some interesting issues that Satoshi Nakamoto talks about. Has it done any of that? I'd say not much, and rather than solve very many internet commerce issues ... it's spawned a whole world of scams and other undesirable effects.

Yes, but Newton's insight was that the ground has mass too, and that things fall because masses are attracted to each other.

Before that, people knew things fell down, but it hadn't occurred to them that this was caused by masses attracting each other, or that the ground is being attracted to the falling object.
> “Despite the bankruptcy process in the end of May 2020, OneWeb filed an application to FCC for increasing the number of satellites to 48,000”

It's pretty easy to see that this isn't a real plan; that is to say, if OneWeb weren't bankrupt, they could never accomplish this. The math is pretty simple.

If we assume that their satellites have a lifespan 2x as long as SpaceX (10 years) and they continue to launch on Soyuz (34 / launch), then they'd need

48000 / 10 / 34 = 141 launches per year for the life of the company.

I hope it's obvious to you that that simply would never happen. Even if OneWeb could afford to buy that many launches, it's doubtful that Russia could manufacture and launch them at that pace.

Even SpaceX (who is planning a similar sized constellation) can't launch their lower cost/kg F9 twice per month, and they have the benefit of reusing the 1st stage and fairing halves.

> I have a decent pressure gauge that I got for $25, so I feel I can be reasonably accurate.

Such a false sense of confidence for a product[1] whose actual performance specs aren't properly published. And it isn't just Longacre playing this game.

If you're in the recreational motorsports scene, you've probably noticed what I'm referring to. If you're an engineer in the same, it probably has driven you nuts. I'm not even talking about full NIST traceability (although if a serious customer wants that and is willing to pay, it shouldn't be an issue...good luck with that) but just a really basic warm and fuzzy.

Intercomp[2] pulls the "Certified Accuracy" bullshit marketing wank, but doesn't even specify the overarching standard that their products are certified against.

Joes Racing[3] labels their analog "Pro" model as "ANSI grade B40.1", but if you've actually read ASME B40.1 proper (currently published in ASME B40.100-2005, which contains 5 related standards including B40.7 for digital gauges), you'd know that's bullshit marketing wank...for all anyone knows, they're selling pseudo-Grade D chinesium trash at a premium price point.

Pick any consumer-grade product and you'll discover the same pattern.

The only markets I've seen any semblance of meaningful published specifications with respect to pressure gauges are industrial and scientific/metrology. Of course, the typical players in those markets aren't nearly as naive.

It's a way around the truth in lending laws,* to make interest rates appear lower than they are.

Instead of 2% cash back for some, they could just add 20 percentage points or so to the interest rates of everyone else. If you think this is unfair, you're really just saying that interest rates are applied unfairly. But it doesn't sound like that's your actual thought process. Is everyone who pays higher rates subsidizing those who pay lower? How do you know?

"the Republic of China" is the official name of the nation that governs the island of Taiwan, I was trying to be a bit facetious. I wanted to say there's no way in hell that the government that continuously faces an existential threat from the communist rulers of mainland China will let go of the single most important business to their national security. Particularly a foreign business that has cozy ties to the Chinese Communist Party and is willing to kowtow to their leadership to access their labor and markets.

It’s also a fake one. As the other commenter said, the credit card system came about bec cash was very expensive to use for stores. They were passing along those costs to consumers, the fact that that’s now inverted by some stores (cash discounts) is only doable bec of the prevalence of credit cards.

Stores need to accept cash regardless, so there’s still some minimal added costs to using cash, but even with the offered discount it’s less than the credit cards...

however if stores stopped accepting credit cards they would quickly find themselves drowning in the same costs that credit cards were invented to avoid.
It is not a good faith-debate to me at all. From the article:

No, application of that principle is literally law. If you want that principle to be enforced in these situations, that's a violation of other rights. If you want them to act differently according to your principles, that's just a damn shame isn't it?

So is the primary concern about the lengths TikTok goes to scrape user data? Or more-so that it's a Chinese company scraping user data?

I'd assume apps like fb/twitter/snapchat/etc scrape just as much. And since the US gov basically forces them to install backdoors, isn't that worse than this whole TikTok privacy conversation? Maybe I'm missing something though.
Libertarianism has left and right variants: the right retains private property, and the associated government functions, while the left is also known as anarcho-communism.

Respectfully, I don't think the existence of leetcode could be exposed to all possible developers and fix the underlying issue. Certain education and self education pipelines focus solely on the actual work being done in real world applications, and raw logic chops are honestly not required for much of that.
It's no surprise to me a team could make an application and then fail at FizzBuzz. Not saying that's a good thing, just that I am not surprised people can make it so far without being able to do simple logic programming.
When you open a web shop, you pay to get SDK from payment processor to integrate them with the site.

When customer clicks “Checkout”, they are sent to payment processor website to enter card number like 1234 ...5678... and whichever card it is, it goes through, and shop owner receive the payment later.

Which means payment processor has contracts and connects with every card networks, absorb API differences, and on top of that, obeys and agrees to everything CC network thinks or says, to be able to handle any cards customers may have with them.

So if a Visa or MasterCard exec thinks maybe he don’t like Cheetos and make a call to processor CEOs how they think about it, no later than by Friday no one will be able to order a single bag of Cheetos, especially online, using any credit card because payment processors will have explicitly communicated that Cheetos had never been tolerated from the beginning and any store who let that happen will have accounts frozen.

It happens somewhat softer than that but kind of happening once couple years these days.
Imagine, asking consumers what they want and allowing them to consent. It's funny that that's considered a revolutionary new business strategy. I thought that's they way business was supposed to operate?
Yes, "seem to," as in, I have no idea why, because nobody tells me and it's not publicized anywhere how shadowbanning works.

> Accounts get banned for the worst things they do, not the best. Suppose one day I go get groceries, walk the dog, and set somebody's house on fire. It's not a defense that the majority of things I did were reasonable.

I'm not talking about "set someone's house on fire" though. I'm talking about a comment that triggers a handful of people to mash the downvote or flag link. Specifically, this account: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=rbecker which, obviously someone else noticed as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23585354

That user's subsequent comments have not been great, but, at the time that I encountered them, they had something like 10 karma. Note how I wasn't the only one who couldn't figure out why they were shadowbanned?

She uses data science to detect disinformation and organized harassment campaigns

Researchers have been refining methods to detect fake accounts on social media for many years. But methods created to sniff out individual bots can fail to detect more sophisticated forms of manipulation—such as state-sponsored disinformation or harassment campaigns spanning thousands of accounts over many years.

Camille François, the chief innovation officer at Graphika, says the public needs better data and models to address online manipulation without inadvertently silencing genuine voices.

François and her team use machine learning to map out online communities and the ways information flows through networks. They apply data science and investigative methods to these maps to find the telltale signatures of coordinated disinformation campaigns. Last year, François and colleagues at Oxford used this approach to help the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence better understand Russian activities during and after the 2016 presidential election.

François says that some of her biggest breakthroughs have come from interviewing troll farm defectors and victims to understand the inner workings of troll farms. “This work is two parts technology, one part sociology,” she says. “The techniques are always evolving, and we have to stay one step ahead."

This is the thing that keeps my databases off the cloud. No amount of managed database convenience can convince me to give up the performance of hard metal with modern NVMe SSDs. And if you really want that kind of performance in the cloud, the cloud providers are just barely starting to catch up, and it's gonna cost you dearly. I've seen managed database setups costing $3-4k per month that could be had with an $8k server.

That's the number of validations, which is effectively a measure of the percentage of people using centralized resolver services that do DNSSEC validation. The figure of merit is the number of signed zones, and, in particular, the percentage of popular zones that are signed (you pick the popularity metric; whatever you choose, the percentage will be extremely low, unless it's "most popular schools and government agencies").
That depends on your PhD research area (even if in CS) and country.

In many countries PhDs are only valuable in academia and industrial research institutes, but your salary is capped quite a bit long term.

In Asia a new grad fresh out of college is seen as more employable than a new PhD grad by most companies and salary differences would be minimal. I wouldn't recommend doing a PhD if you're out for a high salary there.

On the other hand in some European countries just having any PhD degree will open up career paths and salaries unavailable to non PhDs regardless of actual skills.
