The last quote makes this entire thing look like a scam to fleece gamers/gambling addicts and then (probably) run away with the money.

I mean, I will not at all be surprised if this is, at its core, an ICO-style con. It has blockchain, it has early 'investors' throwing money at it with the promise of exclusivity or scarcity, it's probably designed to reel in people hoping for the next Bitcoin, as if there ever would be one of those now. The main article is full of quotes about the scarcity of resources that will instantly get a lot of gullible people's attention.

This report of someone spending 800k already might well even be part of the scam, the same way any con artist on the street will have stooges pretending to throw in cash in order to convince others that it's legit.

The creators will roll along with the hype for a bit, and then take all that wonderful, liquid cash and ride off into the sunset, leaving everyone else's appendages (and useless digital 'assets') flapping in the breeze.

I agree with this. However, I will say unless there is something major wrong with you or major at the company, you are now going to be fired very quickly. The company also doesn’t want that reputation.

I work in finance and certain hedge funds have a reputation for cutting people quickly they don’t like. It attracts people that are ok with that and most stay away.

That all said - you got to look out for you and your family and friends, so you got to do it sometimes. Just wanted to say that, most of the times, the feeling of a commitment to each other goes both ways during the honeymoon period between company and person.
Because it would have crashed the US economy. The US was highly dependent on Saudi oil back then, and Canada could not have come close to filling that gap (their output was 2m barrels per day circa 1999/2000, the US needed both all of that supply and OPEC supply).

Over time the US has removed its dependency on Saudi oil, courtesy of fracking. OPEC oil is no longer necessary for the US economy.

The most interesting thing about Saudi Arabia going forward is that the US will eventually benefit from destroy them as China is the primary beneficiary of Saudi oil (which will also make US oil that much more valuable, we'll send it to Saudi's #2 and #3 customers, Japan & South Korea). I'd expect the hawks in DC to eventually consider turning Saudi Arabia into another Syria.

The second most interesting thing about Saudi Arabia, is their population to barrels of production ratio. It keeps plunging as the Saudi population soars and oil production can't keep up. A revolution is inevitable; that ratio plunging represents a ticking timebomb of the non-elite population's future wealth rapidly declining (while they perpetually fail to develop an alternative economy).

Right, I was saying that the other ISAs would do wore because they aren't as dense and will hit something undefined much more readily. But the RISCs in general are much less likely to touch memory (only if you do a load/store from a register that isn't clean, maybe). From a glance, MIPS looks like it might work, since the opcode field seems to use all the bits and the remaining bits just encode reg/func/imm in various ways. The one caveat I see is that I think the top bit of opcode seems to encode memory accesses, so you may be forced to deal with at least one.

Interesting, I've never worked anywhere where engineers decide when to release changes. That's a product decision, and there is a process of review and approval at both the code level and the functional/end-user-experience level that has to happen first.

Did you mean that literally? E.g. is it common at Uber that engineers can release changes to production on their own?
> Which in my opinion is a problem from an industry perspective.

Why? If a person can learn bunch of algorithms and apply them to custom problems they probably can do quite a bit with computers. And it shows that they probably can learn new stuff rapidly as well. I don't get why so many developers hate Leetcode. I love it personally, I think it's great. And also, I think people are just lazy and don't want to learn new stuff so they whine instead. I don't think whining will help them.
Ignoring the fact that Belgium is one of the worst affected countries, I'm not even sure what you're arguing?

Belgium is the prototype for what would happen elsewhere if you're just a bit less successful at getting a handle on the pandemic.

Did I suggest that I want out healthcare to be overwhelmed?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to be arguing for a lessening of restrictions for the general public, right now. Here in Germany, there already are a few regions where some hospitals are close to capacity, and modelling suggests that without continued restictions, the health care system might get overwhelmed by March.

Ignoring this ridiculous strawman attack (if I disagree, I'm insane)

I realize this might come close to violating (or even cross the line of) HN guidelines, but that's how I see it.

But the automation will need engineers and technicians. China is likely not super reliant if at all on the west for automation expertise, and is likely closing any gap that may exist. They have a legion of more and more well educated people to fill those roles.

I’m super worried that the U.S. is turning into Russia, i.e., a corrupt oligarchy with no want or ability to mobilize and educate its people. China saw that happening to themselves and specifically steered away from it back in the 80s.

> WikiLeaks asked for these names so they can redact them.

No, they asked for those names knowing that the US government couldn't possibly give them since that would expose the identities of people who would then be put at risk of their lives. In other words, they purposely put the US government in a "heads I win, tails you lose" situation. As I've already said upthread.
How to Get Rich Sabotaging Nuclear Weapons Facilities – Big by Matt Stoller
So few of these conversations actually discuss the reasons American manufacturing is so uncompetitive and assume it's entirely legislative/outside factors.

As I been told, cost is rarely the primary factor - Chinese manufacturing is insanely flexible. You can set up a plant with almost no capital, be able to retool at a moment's notice to a customer's whim, and add and drop employees to production at the drop of a hat.

Meanwhile, in the US, unless you are talking about very expensive CNC processes, batch production is not a thing. If you set up a production line, everything needs to be stable and long term. You need permits. You need employee contracts. You need to train people. You can't handle a lot of turnover. You bring in robots, and that requires more specialization and training.

I firmly believe that things which increase fluidity in the labor market will be key to improving US manufacturing. Things like affordable healthcare and housing. Make it so that people can comfortably live in a gig economy.
>The game will also have 1,000 farm bots which can mine a token, like a Bitcoin miner. You can buy a loot box, assemble the parts to make a farm bot, and set them loose mining. Or you can just buy a farm bot preassembled at an expensive price.

>The people who were first to play it are going to get more than people who are last to play it. So, I mean, there’s definitely a reason to come in.”

So it's designed with pretty much the worst aspect of long running online games in mind and is pretty much a loot box farming game where you're mining for what is hopefully a chance at building something that might get you what essentially supposed to be a new digital currency?

Sounds pretty awful to be honest.

They knew the reasons I was feeling frustrated, and felt confident that those issues were either not a problem on their team, or were at least being worked on. I still kind of wonder how true that was, and what would have happened if I'd made the switch internally, instead.

That's always a judgement call on your part. Were your problems just with your part of the management tree, or were they more systematic with the company? If it's the former case, switching teams might help. In the latter, best to get a fresh start and new perspective. Most people feel a bit of exceptionalism when it comes to their team being not like the others, without knowing what your particular issues with your current situation are. In my personal experience "if only you'd have let me know beforehand" comes more from a place of self-interest in finding/retaining talent than necessarily interest in the other person's career.
>a desire for the same level of power in society that males had

And psychoanalysis has explored this too. Besides, some of that power though derives from and appears in nature (the easiest example would be physical power, allowing men to keep women down), and this difference can very well be mistakengly assotiated by the child with the visible difference of not having a penis.

Also, it's not like there's not a very common occurence when boys declare they want to "marry their mother" or girls are in "love with dad", and not very real pathological relations of that kind that expand beyond the cute stage.

Airbnb | Remote (preferably West Coast), Seattle, WA or San Francisco, CA | Staff/Senior Software Engineer | Full-Time | airbnb.com

Airbnb Infrastructure is hiring for several key positions - we're looking for talented engineers across a wide variety of domains to build the platform that supports our mission to create a world where anyone can belong anywhere.

Airbnb is at a pivotal point in its growth and maturity as an engineering organisation. We run some of the largest Kubernetes clusters in the industry, have open sourced some extremely successful data tools (e.g. Superset), and are rapidly adopting newer technologies like Flink and Istio.

We use Terraform, AWS and Chef extensively. My team (Cloud Infra > Compute Infra) mostly uses Golang but it helps to have familiarity with (or a lack of fear of) Java and Ruby, which most of our product teams use.

We have positions open for senior, staff and senior staff engineers across the following teams:

+ Data Platform

+ ML Infrastructure

+ Developer Productivity

+ Cloud Infrastructure

Note that these positions are for experienced engineers and it helps if you have 5+ years of experience and/or have acted in a similar capacity in prior roles.

Check out all open roles and apply here: https://airbnb.com/careers. If preferable, you can also send me a brief note about why you'd be a good fit, a link to the role you're interested in, and a resume to sunil.shah@airbnb.com.

IMO this would actually be a valid argument--Assange has already effectively served a sentence even though he hasn't been officially tried--but Assange's defense apparently did not make it.\

In my admittedly limited experience, nope. Team changes are almost never accompanied with a raise; usually your job title isn't even changing.

That's not to say they're a bad option, but it still seems like you've gotta jump to a different company to maximize earnings.
