I never flew before TSA, or if I did I don’t really remember because I was only a few years old. But at one point I was flying commercial a lot for work and it became a real hassle. I don’t mind it once in a while, and I’m pretty good at my personal procedure for zipping through the security line, but it’s an emotional drain, all the security and getting to the airport so early. What a drag, I am the same way in that I would prefer a long drive over flying commercial.

In recent years I’ve been lucky enough to largely fly private and it feels like it must have felt pre 9/11, at least on the security and not having to arrive hours early fronts.

No. I mean, I doubt we as a society could come up with a definition that's sufficiently specific and durable enough to apply this level of scrutiny. We can't even agree on the proper term for certain races.
This is a great deal for Stripe, but bad for workers. $20k could easily be eaten up just on moving expenses (breaking a lease, hiring movers, etc). Let’s say an engineer making $150k year manages to frugally move for only $5k. That means, after one year they’re already loosing money. And when it comes to find a new job, they very well be in a tighter labor pool compared with what they had in NYC or SF.
> Isn't it meant to be censorship resistant?

I don't think so. Satoshi included the headline of bank bailouts in the first block. It's been a decade since I scanned over the whitepaper, but I think it was to create a currency that people couldn't manipulate.

Bitcoin may be censorship resistant, but it is not censorship proof.

Inc-Query | Operations (not-dev) | Full-time | REMOTE (US West Coast/APAC) | https://inc-query.com

Small, profitable, rapidly growing, fully remote tech company. We program surveys insanely fast for private equity and management consulting clients.

If you enjoy dealing with very smart clients in a somewhat technical and fast-paced environment, this role may be for you. The Survey Director exercises 3 different skill sets:

1. Client management/communication skills: Interact with clients all the time

2. Business acumen: Learn about different industries/niches and transfer learning across projects

3. Technical skills: Never-ending supply of short coding puzzles (think <10 lines)

This is not a software engineering role, but some coding familiarity is required. It's a tough role, but super interesting work!

If you're interested in learning more, shoot me (the founder) a note with either your resume and/or LinkedIn: hn@inc-query.com. You'd be joining a bunch of other HNers who work here.

For APAC candidates: You'd be the 3rd hire in the region! We're looking for UTC+7 and points east (E/SE Asia, Oceania, Aus/NZ).

I live in the US and I've definitely bought sim cards and activated phones without sharing an ID.

Not that it matters, they can still subpoena the place you got the phone from and now they have a video of you.
Depends on your goal. A lot of the time you want your printfs to be blocking on embedded systems, even if literally the rest of the system is asynchronous so that you don't miss the interesting prints right before the crash because they were queued and not sent yet.

It can be comparable to old manuscript, hand-copied many times and each copy modified the original. We certainly wish the original text be survived. But it won't happen anyway. It was copied, modified thus increasing the value along the way.

It's either valuable enough to be copied or not to be copied and lost. We have certain old text because it has been copied and modified.

If they have time and resource to complain it, they should rather start copying the original photo and films in order to preserve the historically important materials. The more copied, more change to survive.

My son just happens to be playing Scramble (Defender) on my old Vectrex as we speak! Of course, it comes w/Mine Storm (Asteriods/Space War) built-in. (Though I think it needs some new capacitors, as the vector retrace isn't as seamless as it used to be.)
There is still something magical about vector gfx to me -- I much prefer "notional" graphics to realistic ones, but I guess 'cause I'm old...
You presently trade your time for money, the goal is to spend less of your time for more money based upon performance. Most of the time we spend 80% of our time on things that dont matter and 20% on those that do. The key is to get more focused on spending more of our allocated time on the things that matter and be compensated as such. For example lets say you get paid $10/hour but you are only productive 20% of the time thats a net loss of your time and company time of $8/hr. If we can convert that $8 to productive time we gain and the person gains as well. This is the goal of Unlimited Salary.

I wonder why we're seeing this at all, is it relevant?
I don't know how Stripe's offices are arranged (what sort of work is done where), but it seems strange to me that the bonus to relocate is a fixed amount but the adjustment to salary is a percentage.

I've got to think well-paid software folks are going to look at the $20k and scoff. I know I'd be underwater on that deal in less than a year.

On the other hand, administrative folks, HR, etc ... they might see it as a more appealing deal.

I wonder if there's some sort of ulterior motive here for Stripe?

Or the person who wrote that might genuinely believe that Satoshi was female.

I don't like reverse-sexism/racism/etc because adding the term "reverse" doesn't stop it from being sexist/racist/etc itself, but Hacker News guidelines say we should "respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

The judgement actually references the Finance Act too, and says as I did that this stuff dates from 1985. Here's the VAT Act 1972:

* http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1972/act/22/schedule/2/en...

Zero mention of food, drink, or bread. As I said, those are in the Finance Act 1985 (and in an earlier Finance Act, sans bread, if I recall correctly). The Finance Act 1992, also referenced by the judgement, tweaks the Finance Act 1985 wording, and doesn't alter the definition of zero-rated "bread", except to extend it to bread that is uncooked or fried, rather than baked.

* http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1992/act/9/section/195/en...

The definition of "bread" was disputed, moreover. It was the whole of III(C) of the judgement.

And your 2010 Act does not apply, and isn't mentioned in the judgement at all. (-:

Oh man. Just reading the headline I thought it was some sort of a parody. Why would anyone install OpenBSD on a laptop?

GCHQ discovered 'nationally significant' vulnerability in Huawei equipment
I wouldn't say so; I've taught for a community college, teaching college, and R1 and while there are differences, it seems to be a consistent issue across the board. While there are clearly individuals more interested in graduate work, there are groups with a primary goal of preparing students for industry.
In college I worked as a phone dispatcher for a company that had a slick homegrown system for managing accounts, billing and dispatching. It was faster, fuller-featured and more intuitive than the commercial systems I'd seen at the time.

When the dev swung by the office one day I chatted with him and was surprised to learnt that he'd gotten his start coding in prison as well. He hadn't used computers at all before being incarcerated, but got hooked in his first class when he typed something at the command line and got an error in response. He muttered something like "I'll show you, stupid machine" and committed then and there to getting the device to do what he wanted it to. Ten years later he had a successful business building and maintaining systems like the one I was using for small businesses all over the area.
Perhaps things like crime rates amongst different segments of the population.
Awesome. Now define all of the races such that they are specific enough to create legal interpretations of promote, superiority, and inferiority in such a way that relative comparisons can be made.
this is ridiculous, "the workers who take up the offer will have to take a 10% cut to their compensation." so you get 20K up front, which as jdavis mention, could be used up in moving, then you have to accept a 10% pay cut. so in reality, you're losing all around. just because someone moves to a new area, doesn't mean they should be punished by having a decrease in salary. this is way a scumbaggish way for a company to make money. anyone working for stripe better rethink things and go work for another company.
What you said implies that any person that has committed a violent crime remains a danger to other people, forever - and should also be punished, forever.

This is what the American justice system is like.

In a saner world, (only) people who are a danger to others would be separated from the society, and being set free would be and indication that you are no longer a danger.

In the US, being released from prison signals you are more dangerous than if you got away with your crime.
> The problem with piano isn't reading the music

Generally, but not always. I find the deep chromaticism of Messiaen or even Vierne (organ, not piano) very badly served by traditional musical notation - I have to stare at it for ages before it becomes apparent what I should be playing, whereas I can sight-read a typical SATB hymn.
The font was dumped (with some possible bit-rot) and the UTS-10 and UTS-20 terminals are emulated in MAME, which is how the video was generated.

See if you can find those files:

When you do, let me know. I'm curious.
The $20k covers relocation costs. Whether or not you'd be 'underwater' depends on cost of living in your new location. San Fran and New York are very expensive.
That's really interesting - I enjoyed the section on transfer learning. Are there any screenshots of Phanon without having to sign-up to the Utah website?

Do you think that reducing the amount of syntax-errors via a powerful structured-editor would help reduce the syntax burden?
It seems like you are viewing prison sentences as a 'price' for commiting murder, rape or some other violent crime. As long as you pay the price society must welcome you back with open arms. People will choose who to associate with based on their past behaviors and if you commit violent crime it is likely that most people will no longer want to associate with you.

Just trying to clarify here: you’re saying if someone was exonerated of a violent crime due to newer, overwhelming forensic evidence but had already spent 13years.

You’d feel more comfortable working with the actual criminal than the innocent person who spent 13 years in prison?
Besides being beginner unfriendly, barriers to entry end up making things worse off for everyone by reducing productivity and efficiency.

There's no reason to consider barriers a good thing, unless one has a motive to restrict use of programming languages. Why would one want that?
It kinda makes sense though. The expansion from boundary scan to debug is just extending the scan chain to all the flip flops in the random logic too, not just the one's controlling the pads.

The solution to that isn't to make programming harder, but to make writing poor quality code harder. That's also in part, indirectly, a notation problem.

That's a very simplistic view. Programmers who work on SDKs and developer tools benefit tremendously from lower barriers to entry to programming.
Thanks! Didn't know that. Gamasutra had an interview with Ed Logg last year where he talked about hardware limitations. A portion from it:

"Logg: There were no difficult or technical issues. Of course there were limitations such as the amount of stuff I could draw and still update the game at 60Hz. The limited RAM also limited the number of asteroids I could draw so you may see some large asteroids go away with a single shot if the screen if full.

There was issue of the spot killer that was interesting. The spot killer was a feature added so that if the game crashed when the beam was on that it did not burn a hole in the phosphor on the screen. Thus I needed to have enough deflection on the screen so the spot killer did not turn off the beam. Therefore I put the copyright on the bottom of the screen and the scores at the top.

However, no one told me how much deflection was actually needed and I found out later this was not quite enough, so on some games the screen would dim if the player ship and the3 remaining asteroids were at the right spots on the screen."

Yeah, I mean, obviously with the right precautions and best practices we could have avoided this. But this was a dev server, so it wasn't that serious if the entire thing got hosed. The only reason we recovered it using nc instead of just formatting the disk and starting over was because the server was physically in the office, and neither of us wanted to drive in (long commute), and we were mildly amused at the prospect of reviving a server over ssh.

When I meant it's still used today; it is, but it just displays a dashboard on a TV screen, it's not actually handling customer data or doing anything critical.
The UI layer is closed source in Sailfish OS, so not better than iPhone in this case.

For Android, if getting a Lineage OS in phone, the first problem is Lineage OS still does not have automatic update without manually reboot into recovery mode, and need for user invention. Let's be honest I don't bother to update because of requiring human intervention in update until I find the time to do it. Not a good practice but hey...

Secondly, any phone could be dropped support by Lineage OS if the developer of that model just starts using another phone and cannot find another to continue supporting the phone.

The best option for privacy seems to be using GrapheneOS with Pixel phones, but GrapheneOS only supports as long as the support cycle of a pixel phone, so it is 3 years before end-of-life minus the time to develop GrapheneOS ROM for a new pixel phone. If you are going to value your privacy so much then this is the best, but a quite expensive route and not really environmental friendly.

An iPhone can receive update as long as Apple the company is not bankrupted. Well, you get a worse performance after update but at least it is an option to continue to use.

I have an easier time understanding Haskell than Go codebases, and I have equal and large experience with both.

When I first learned Haskell, I only knew C. Haskell codebases were immediately so fun to dive into and learn from. I wouldn't hesitate to hit the "Source" button on Hackage. The fact that all code could be reasoned about locally with just simple symbolic substitution was a breath of fresh air.

To a person with 0 experience at all, Haskell or Algol-descended languages are going to be equally alien. Your experience is because you had asymmetric familiarity.

So I'm not surprised by your experience. But it says more about you than Haskell.

However, it's important to remember just how often people got lost in the age before Satellite Navigation. All the damn time they got turned around and lost. Even people who should have been professional navigators got lost. Kids today don't get the experience of missing the exit or making a wrong turn and discovering that your directions are suddenly useless.

Are they dumber because they don't learn how to navigate by the seat of their pants? Maybe, but it's kind of like asking if they're dumber because they don't learn how to saddle their horse. The skillset is semi-obsolete in the modern world. They can save that space in their brain for something novel to the modern era, like which Roblox maps are the best or something.
