Good advice, and the 'what type of arrangement do they want' bit is critical here.

If they want to hire you full time your guide is regular salaries for cyber security professionals in their/your country (whichever's higher, if they're different), plus a bit if your knowledge is super-specialised. If they want to hire you for a couple of months, or a few days a week, the rule of thumb is to calculate that on a pro-rata basis and at least double it. (Freelancers typically only get to bill for half the hours they actually work, and have to cover some of their own expenses)

Either way, an avionics company has deep pockets and hires expensive professionals for stuff that matters to it, and it's a lot easier to agree to drop rates (possibly in return for something like a longer contract or minimum number of days per month) than it is to negotiate them up.

Thst is a very good question, and as others have said, the answer is yes.

It's also a question you should ask whenever someone demands "reciprocity" by banning Chinese company X from Western markets because Western company Y is banned from China. If you ask "if Y were a Chinese company, would they be banned, too?" the answer is usually yes.

Google Search and Facebook aren't banned because of where they're from, but because of what they do, i.e. offering access to information the Chinese government wants censored. A Chinese company offering access to censored information would be shut down long before they got big enough to make international news.

There's no need for "reciprocity" by putting more severe restrictions on Chinese companies. Applying the same rules to everyone would be enough. (Requiring all companies listed on US stock exchanges to be audited by the SEC is an example of a step in that direction.)
Google writes a lot of C++ code, disables exceptions entirely, and it does not shy away from STL at all.
I wonder — has anyone thought of applying MCTS to this problem, where you create as many possible different scenarios and variations as you can, and then let the system figure out what the best responses might be?
Also, this digital debt tracker uses numbers, which most of these communal debt systems do not do. Because different people put different value to things, tracking debt in numbers is not how it is done (the book goes in a lot of detail how this works). This is what makes bitcoin a currency, a way to track debts rather than having them implicit.

I'm not sure where on the globe you are at, but where I am from, groups of friends buy rounds of beers at the bar. You do not keep track of whose turn it is to pay the round or whether someone is buying more expensive stuff, but since you are friends you make sure things are fair over time. But implicitly, not tracking numbers and accounts.

And Graeber argues that that is actually the method that predates currency. Not barter.

I fully agree on the hilariously large "primordial" debt we somehow owe the early miners.
I agree.

Misinterpretations of Statistical Significance in Academia (2002)  [pdf]
Making the Case for Why React Native Is Garbage
C++ was already everywhere on desktop computing back in the 90's, with Apple, IBM, Microsoft, BeOS adopting it on their frameworks, and even on the mobile with Symbian.

Then FOSS happened with its manifesto to use C for portability, war on KDE due to licensing gave raise to Gtk and related eco-system, and here we are.

Thankfully I learned C++ on MS-DOS and became enlighted, even with its 640 KB limit it was already so much better than the primitive C, in regards to type safety, generic code and yes RAII was already a thing.
Do you find it's because you crave the intense stimuli and that otherwise your brain simply fades off ?

insert your argument about why you don’t understand people moved away from XMPP just to reimplement XMPP.
This is generally true, but in the case of ARM instances, EC2 currently has no real competitors, as far as I know.
No not that, there's a very strong negative correlation between birth rate and development. The more a society develops, the lower its birth rate. Down to well below replacement rate of 2.1, for instance in the US (1.7), Canada (1.5), Japan (1.42), Finland (1.41). Without immigration those populations would dwindle in just a few generations.

No one thinks that it is an OSS license as defined by some committee.

It's just an open source license (lower case). And that's good enough for me.
Oh. Duh. That’s exactly the kind of thing that this article is about.

Maybe if I had read it first....
I didn't mean to make a strong Antifa link, I just thought it's something non-Brits would understand as a point of comparison in terms of general activities rather than specific tactics or aggressiveness. e.g. SWP was heavily involved in the Ant-Nazi League in the 70s back when the National Front was more of a thing in the UK.

The SWP types I knew back in the 80s probably are your boring old lefty uncle these days. That's how out of date I am, although there were still excited young SWP activists pushing leaflets and selling the paper on Deptford High Street in the early 2000s. That's well before the rape crisis though.
If the objective of the system is to produce stuff you need to think in large scale. When we do that we favor big corporations and as you say business around you shut down.

People like this shouldn't be leading a project that threatens to upend multi-trillion dollar institutions.

If it weren't for his timidity, Bitcoin would have hard forked in 2015 to raise the block size limit to allow for mass-adoption.
It can also make it easier for companies to lose customers.

Twelve years ago, I had a landline service problem with a phone company I'd used for twenty years. I attempted to call customer support. Between me and a solution stood a robotic voice offering limited options. After 5-10 minutes of trying to get past the robot, I ceased to be a customer of that company ... by that time, there were already other options.

Humans are far smarter than computers. If only we could be nudged into becoming more robotic.
ISPs use QoS for voice too, that means everything is technically throttled based on network congestion.
To be honest I'm not casual about it, it's always very stressful if I have to drive the electric car!

I'm ok driving the e-car to work if I know for sure I can stay there until well past 7pm. If there's any chance I might need to leave before 7pm I want to drive my other (not electric) car.

On the few days where I need to leave early and can't drive the gasoline car (because wife needs it), I spend all afternoon stressing about it and walking to the parking lot every 30 minutes to look for empty spots to get the charging started ASAP so I can get home. Not fun.
Instead of mindless typing, start with a paper and pencil.

And in this case, it appears that they aren’t.
I don't think that would work out for them. Most code that runs on AArch64 will run just as happily on AMD64. Few of their customers are going to be writing AArch64 assembly.

It's in the design. Higher price -> more miners -> increased mining difficulty (due to design goal – 1 block per 10 min) -> more energy waste. Bitcoin was a fun prototype idea, but humans made it just evil. As usual, though.
It’s crazy to think C++ and Java are only 10 years apart in the language timeline.
I've been high-end desktop Linux user all my life and Thinkpads were my primary choice for laptops. Last two years I've been using x1 carbon gen3 released in 2017 so it's not so far from current-gen Intel laptops.

Yeah Air on M1 cannot beat triple 1440p 164HZ monitor setup with high end desktop hardware, but it's still damn impressive. It's has slightly better 16:10 screen, more performance than any of current x1 thinkpads and Air that I bought is absolutely silent too.

Also might be in the US you have comparable prices on Thinkpad or some Linux-friendly laptops, but where I live I bought Macbook for 2/3 of comparable Thinkpad price. I've used to buy used ones, but now they became much more expensive due to high demand and much less of air travel (less smugling I guess).
Uhh, it's not perfect, but you can definitely judge a lot about a person by looking at them, from their body language. Video would be better, and of course in person would be better again, but it's not like there's no information there. It's not skull measuring to interpret body language, and some of that body language can come off in a still photo. In particular, I think I can get a pretty good read on how empathic a person is pretty quickly based on body language.
Reading the article, it’s clear there is nothing resembling actual blockchain/cryptocurrency technology involved. The engineers have built something with the features Cargill thinks their supply chain needs, and the marketers (or the savvy product managers) are just using “blockchain-like” as a descriptor and other crypto-adjacent buzzwords to generate interest and attention. It’s probably the inevitable endpoint of all the years of blockchain hype from people who didn’t understand the system to begin with—-keep using and evolving the buzzwords and apply them to entirely different, old-fashioned, boring tech that actually addresses business needs.
They aren't using nukes.
If I understand correctly, by "well-adjusted" you mean "a person who has no evident quirks" (like being a Tolkien fan to the extent of naming your practice Lorien, or blogging extensively in a way that can be perceived as pseudo-intellectual or pretentious).

Why do you think it's important for a person to be "well-adjusted" in order to be trusted? Why do you believe that a person who has visible quirks cannot be trusted as a mental health professional (or even needs help himself)?

Does the same thinking apply in your eyes to other professions? Would you likewise distrust, for example, a quirky lawyer, or a quirky manager?

Then they don't care about applications being terminated in case of std::bad_alloc and similar.

The crucial applications they use are written by others (like the Linux kernel).

Also, having seen the output of several Googlers, I think their code quality is overrated.
Thanks for explaining, it’s very helpful.
Well, in the literal sense, the government can raise revenue via tax and employ people. So it's literally true... You might not like it, or it might be ill advised, or might believe that all taxation is theft, but it is what it is.

That’s exactly the point being made, isn’t it? No one uses Bitcoin as a currency for real transactions.
They'd be dangerous if they were your only source of information, but if you take them on board with the right perspective they're fine, I think.

I'd put Adam Curtis in the same category as Zizek, where they're about aesthetics and moods with heavy artistic licence, rather than a literal documentary exposition.

The SWP is not massive. It's never been massive. Current paid-up membership is maybe four figures.

It's considered eccentric, comically cliched, ineffectual, and frankly irrelevant by virtually everyone on the British left.

It's the very definition of fringe.

Which is why banning the SWP sets a very bad example. Especially when there are far more dangerous organisations on the British far right which Facebook seems happy to host.
I got 9/10

But I think I know why... I started going partly by the style of the photograph, and partly by facial expression, but not their actual face.

[Edit] shame it's not random or a pool larger than 10, I can't do multiple trials to figure out if I just got lucky.
Oh yes. I agree, there is probably ton of waste in the entire banking sector. I just wanted to clarify why each transaction most likely costs more in blockchain compared to one transaction in the traditional network.

I wonder how much energy we would consume if bitcoin would replace the whole banking sector? Back-of-an-envelope calculation: If it would be powering billion transactions per day, it would need 400 nuclear power plants to provide required energy.

I don't know if we should ban bitcoin or not. I don't have any strong sentiment towards it. But if the numbers here are right, I don't think it is a viable main stream currency.
What do you mean by “no evidence”? Could you expand your argument further, or are you just dismissing the reality of large amounts of energy being used to run Bitcoin?
Ah you essentially answered my question about summarizing his views.

It's quite scary that what seems like a conspiracy club lite is getting such a huge amount respect from the highly educated HN audience.

It seems the near future is converging to a bunch of conspiracy theorists duking it out with each other in front of the captive audience -- the general electorate.

Maybe it will make things easier for everyone involved if some conspirators actually do take over the world, thus making this spectacle slightly less surreal.
Thanks. Perhaps a mod should replace the URL with the archived one.
A good chunk (arguably the most important one) of the research is actually done on the live subjects that go up there.

So you'd lose a lot of research capability.
There is no single leader in Bitcoin.
“There has been a lot of talk in the past few years about blockchains, which are heavily hyped but poorly understood. Blockchains are networks of physical computers that work together in concert to form a single virtual computer.”

I mean, how could anyone be confused when you yourself are actively fudging the meaning in the immediate next sentence? The rest of the paragraph is worse. Embarrassingly bad, but par for the course from a16z.
Does this lead to the energy consumption increasing over time? I'm not too familiar with the technology.
> let the films serve as a compelling aesthetic work and the reading as essentially a citation. Alternatively, maybe I should try to compile some for each of his films.

Yes, that would be awesome, and would add much more weight to the arguments he makes in his documentaries.
There's plain old "carbon fiber" which is short for carbon fiber reinforced polymer/plastic (CFRP). This is the much more common type, and is a polymer matrix reinforced by carbon fibers. This is very strong and light, but not terribly heat-resistant. In a carbon-carbon composite, on the other hand, the plastic component is also replaced by graphite. This gives a very strong and heat-resistant, though somewhat more brittle, material.

But if you calculated energy expenses per transaction or per customer, i think that classic banking would look very efficient compared to bitcoin.
I gateway drug to C++, was Turbo C++ 1.0 for MS-DOS, released in 1990 as per Wikipedia. I got my copy in 1992.

Basically C++ARM as per language standard, on a 386SX running at 20 MHz, 2 MB but 640 KB was more than enough, right? :)

Our high school teacher giving us C classes with Turbo C 2.0 also had it around, so as it were back in those days, I eventually got a copy.

My gateway drug to programming until then were Turbo Pascal 6.0 and TASM, and C++ was in the same ballpark of features and culture for safer systems programming.

Never had any issues using it in such kind of PCs, including with my own bounds checked string and array classes, hardware that most modern MCUs can easily outperform.
Custom Keto Diet is a carefully designed program to help millions of people struggling with their weight. Despite the popularity of the keto diet, majority of people are unable to create a diet plan on their own because they can’t calculate their micro and macro calories. Custom keto diet offers individual meal plans using information such as age, current weight, gender, daily activity level, and dietary preferences.
The problem with conventional diet plans is that they are not descriptive, so it is hard for beginners to understand them. Many of them share no information on portion size, alternative food choices, or set unrealistic goals, which lead to nothing but disappointment. In addition to this, they fail to consider independent variables such as age, sex, weight, which are essential to design any weight loss plan. For all these reasons, the users get confused, demotivated, and end up losing no weight at all.
That’s why Custom Keto Diet Plan is here to help people planning to lose weight and get into a perfect shape, without any problem.
What is a Custom Keto Diet plan?
In simplest words, Custom Keto Diet Plan is an 8-week long diet plan which helps the users to achieve their target weight. This diet plan is individually designed for every user considering all variable factors to address for losing weight. Keto diet is probably the most popular weight loss diet these days, but due to its complex fat, carbs, and protein calculations, people often find it hard to design a customized diet plan as per their body needs. They end up going to dieticians, which is not only expensive but also requires follow-up visits for months, which somehow bound them.

> which parts of libstdc++ can you safely use without exceptions?

Almost all of it, as long as you're happy to abort on memory allocation failure - which, according to the article, libvirt is now willing to do.

In fact for me, that's one of the main questions to ask when deciding between C and C++ for a project. Is it OK to abort on allocation failure? If so, use C++ (without using exceptions). If not, use C.
This solves something I'd wondered for a while - why my aluminium bike has a steel fork.
AFAIK many professional Sony systems also ran some derivatice of NEWS OS, for instance the fabulous mixing console Oxford OXF-R3.
Another way to approach this is to find the salary for a similar position then either x1.5 or x2.0 it. When working for yourself you have to incorporate expenses (rent, insurance, hardware, services, accountancy etc.). From there work backwards to an hourly rate. One metric is Salary/2000 = Hourly Rate. You can use this to create a daily or weekly rate.

You may need to talk to an accountant. You may need to charge VAT and will almost certainly need to set up as at least a sole trader.
And now the business is left with another abstraction no one maintains on top of a legacy system no one understands.

Yeah, plus those folks actually had problems to solve and things to invent. These days 99.99% of VC projects and the stuff coming out of most tech giants is just throwing obscene amounts of money at creating new problems that no one knew they had, hoping some of it will stick and fund the next round of waste.

The main practical benefit of C is the simplicity and stability of its ABI.

There are currently 8 different language bindings listed on LibVirt's website. It's not clear to me that this situation would improve by switching to a language as notoriously difficult to interop with as C++.
