I remember HappyPuppy back when it was run by Jennifer Diane Reitz, who sold it off in 1995 or 1996 and whose career since has been... interesting, to say the least.

She changed the background to one of the puppy mascot peeing on the Communications Decency Act, back when the "Blue Ribbon Campaign" was a thing.

Perhaps just an old ipnone or android with a fingerprint sensor and another installation of bitwarden. You can keep the phone's passcode written down because its only use is to start the device. Then configure biometric log-in for bitwarden as an alternative to a distinct passphrase. In the event of a total blank, you should still have access as long as you retain a finger.

We employ people that work less than 5 hours/week who get to make their own schedule and work from their homes. Even though all of them have other jobs and use it as a small side hustle, we still classify them as employees.

Many people choose to forget that there is such a thing as a part-time employee.

Yup indeed it's an issue with NAND SSDs - and it heavily depends on the type (SLC, MLC, TLC, QLC), vendor (controller, memory, "write buffer") sizes etc. I'm doing mostly read tests right now and will move to writes after.

The Samsung PRO 980 I have, are TLC for main storage, but apparently are using some of that TLC storage as a faster write buffer (TurboWrite buffer) - I'm not an expert, but apparently the controller can decide to program the TLC NAND with only 1-bit "depth", they call it "simulated SLC" or something like that. On the 1 TB SSD, the turbowrite buffer can dynamically extend to ~100 GB, if there's unused NAND space on the disk.

Btw, the 3DXpoint storage (Intel Optane SSDs & Micron X1) should be able to sustain crazy write rates too.

If CSW was genuinely Satoshi, he would be humble and genuine enough to admit he simply lost the keys. He would also acknowledge that there is no way for him to prove he is Satoshi, but that that is his own fault for losing the keys. Instead, he is engaged in childish lawsuits and actual fraud (his PhD, the backdated keys). Not the moves of somebody like Satoshi.

> It concerns me that AWS booted a site off their platform for speech issues

They booted Parler off for violence issues. One may personally disagree about where to draw that blurry line, but I think there's more than enough plausible deniability here. This is not the trigger of a grand slippery slope. If Amazon drops a company purely for non-violent political differences, by all means, lets raise those pitchforks.
The notes product could do with a bit of love I think.

A todo feature is an interesting idea.
If you choose to just call it "speech issues", it sounds worrying, but when you're a little more precise, "shutting them down for failing to remove calls for violence including many instances pointed out to them directly by Amazon's lawyers" sounds pretty reasonable.

Microsoft joined the open invention network; a defensive patent pool protecting Linux (kernel and distributions). This directly cut into their patent revenue and removed some of their leverage towards Android OEM's. This matters a lot to the android and wider Linux ecosystem.

Moreover, every single Microsoft patent will now be used to fight against any patent claim concerning Linux, related open source software, and a limited set of codecs. [0]

Given the recent inclusion of an exFAT driver in Linux, this hurt MS's business even more.

Oh but right now we've got a pandemic on - assuming everybody is onboard with the risk of changing jobs a lot of folks are hiring remote employees.
My girlfriend and I do this among ourselves and with our friends. I find it's not as calculated or insensitive as it might first appear. If it's not "on the calendar" then any surprises, efforts, or frustrations (friction) that arises is on that party. Really cuts down on those "I told you about this last month" arguments, and also from welching on friends or family events. Keeps us both honest and on the same page.

It's definitely not Excel work. It's primarily using Python or R to build statistical models to do things like:

- Predict the likelihood of a customer to churn

- Cluster customers into key segments for targeted messaging

- Analyze and distribute customer support requests based on their content

- Proactively identify bot or fraud activity

- Create multi-touch attribution models for marketing touchpoints

- Analyze multi-variate tests

I think the problem you're hinting at is that many organizations say they're doing data science, or that they need data science, without knowing exactly what the role entails. As a result, many organizations hire "Data Scientists" that are doing the work of a Data Engineer, Analyst, and BI Developer all combined.

I think 2015-2020 saw a huge surge in interest for Data Science, whereas 2020-2025 will have a surge in interest for Data Engineering.... mostly because organizations realized they can't do anything interesting with data until resilient, clean data sets are built for the organization.
Not at all the same. Not at all.
I indeed am imparted that the term “screen reader” is a misnomer and not what I expected it to be.

This seems to be more so an “accessibility suite” of which text-to-speech is a component rather than what I would call a “screen reader".

Interesting and pleasant to read.

I find it inspiring that some people today (but more a couple of generations ago) still learn geometry from (usually translations of) Euclid’s Elements. I just love the idea that people still study math from a book more than 2,000 years old.
I’m pretty sure that can’t be all of them. The founder (or maybe CTO, can’t remember) often pops up on Hacker News.

It would be good if they would blog about more about the company itself actually. I don’t remember them publishing much about that.
"With webmail I don't have that choice."

Through a web browser is not the only way Fastmail offers to use its services. It also supports IMAP, so you could use any IMAP-supporting mail client (which is probably all of them).

Yeah, I noticed the people who went into consulting at my school always posting snapchats of them working well past dinner time and back in the office the following morning at 7 AM.

At least the recruiters you spoke with were upfront about expectations. Do you know if there was WLB as one got into a more senior role and climbed the corporate ladder there?

This past summer I did some contracting work, putting in 80+ hr work weeks, 7 days/week. Management figured I had nothing better to do cause of covid, so they just piled on work. I'm not complaining about the work, it molded me to be a better employee. I was also fairly compensated for my time. But my health was so bad. Blood pressure sky-rocketed, resting heart rate in the 80's as a mid 20's male. Eyes red when I woke up every day. Blurry long distance vision.

Now that I have balance between work/life, I am back to an excellent blood pressure & RHR. Eyes all fine again. I learned an extremely valuable lesson last summer to never forgo life & free-time.

edit: I don't have a problem working more than a 40 hr work week. In fact, my worldview believes it is necessary to work more than the average person. I found out I can stay healthy and happy by taking Friday nights and Saturdays off. I ideally try to work/learn 55-57 hours in a normal week.
> People have traded freedom for convenience over the past couple of decades and it shows.

I'd argue the completely other way: people have traded convenience for freedom. The convenience of using the Internet for has massively eroded freedom of speech.

It's been immensely convenient for tens of thousands of people to be able to say any kind of harmful trash on the Internet without suffering any negative consequences and that's what they have been doing for years now, and so now we all pay the price.

The term "freedom of speech" has been appropriated by alt-right and modern Nazi movements and is now associated almost strictly with, which means that it is now feasible to call this freedom a real and actual risk to human life and take real steps towards curbing that freedom in general, even for people who are not abusing it to actively work towards harming other people.
The lazy worker argument applies to any job. I work in a F500 and have 'lazy' coworkers. I can't just go to my manager and get them fired.
I do believe that should've also been in their threat model - these guys should've acted like they were hosting The Pirate Bay 2 given the state of American politics. For instance, they could've had a low-traffic backup in read-only mode, or prevent new sign-ups. Or have an application layer switch to reduce outgoing bandwidth (HTML only) to squeeze into a coloc facility on short notice.

> I can’t imagine the frustration trying to use a touch screen to fly a fighter jet.

A war plane is something you have to operate while it's burning, or while you're bleeding on it, or while you can't see properly because it's full of smoke or someone just blinded you with a laser. The adoption of touch screens in this sort of cockpit seems misguided. Particularly for anything related to controlling comms or navigation.
> National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has completed a regulation permitting low volume motor vehicle manufacturers to begin selling replica cars that resemble vehicles produced at least 25 years ago. Congress enacted a DeLorean Motor Company-backed bill backed by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) DeLorean Motor Company, and others into law in 2015, which streamlined requirements for small automakers, but implementation was delayed while awaiting the NHTSA regulations. Companies like DeLorean will now be able to apply for authorization to produce and sell vehicles under this program.

I assume this means they waive certain modern safety regulations in order to allow companies to make new cars (in low volume) that resemble old cars?

> That said, with EV’s becoming more mainstream, we’ve been considering switching to an all-electric as the future. It certainly makes for an easier path through emissions maze which still looms large over any internal combustion engine.

That makes sense. If ever there was a car that looks like it should be an EV, it's the Delorean. They could even do a stickshift EV if they wanted to, though most car companies seem to not think it's worth the complexity/maintenance, and I get the impression that electric motors are hard on transmissions.

Haha me too! It was such an amazing thing for me, a 12 year old in 1994 in Mexico to actually receive the FreeBSD CDs with all the nice paraphernalia (beastie stickers and whatnot) on it. A friend of my family bought it for me because he was happy I was into computers at that age.

Count me as another happy Fastmail customer reporting their satisfaction!

I switched off of Gmail to Hey last year when the hype train was at full steam. Hey was... okay, but missing so many features that Gmail had. Most importantly to me was literally any calendar integration, and custom domain support.

Instead of going back to Gmail I found Fastmail after doing some research. It's just exactly what I want, a fast web based client that has the right features. And nothing else. Bravo to the company that makes it :)!
That's not the same thing as a few more software developers living full time in the town, in fairness. More remote workers would be akin to having a few extra GPs or solicitors around the place, doing local-person stuff like going to the pub or buying groceries and school uniforms for their kids.

I think you are going to have to rely on another human being (or perhaps a group of trusted individuals) even in that case. Depending upon what caused your incapacitation, you may or may not be able to actually retain and manage your secrets going forward. Put another way, if your wetware is damaged you may need a backup (aka trusted human) to handle your secrets on your behalf.
I chose Fastmail for business, as an upgrade over self-hosting, because it seemed to be a solid provider, not because "Google, ew!" Turns out, Google's the more solid provider (three years as an FM customer before reaching that conclusion).
The 'free speech platforms' almost always skew towards the extremest side (more so over time)and aren't anything about the benefits we think of when it comes to free speech, lots of ideas that can be discussed, and we can think about and learn from.

I wonder how that can be avoided.
Though it is now headquartered in Toronto, it is interesting to note that Tucows was originally founded in Flint Michigan, the only internet company I'm aware of that comes from there.

> Is there fewer people making desktop software nowadays?

Yes. Developing native desktop apps is more work (Win32 and Cocoa, who even knows those? you'll have to implement the app in both) and these days you'll have to go through the app signing bureaucracy even if you're not using app stores. And good luck with the monetization, especially if you're not distributing through app store or other and paying a huge share for it.

> I talked to a non-profit with incredibly spiky traffic based around whenever they get mentioned in the news. Since every dollar matters for them, being able to scale down to a minimal infrastructure between spikes is key to their survival.

Frankly, I don't understand this point. For €40 a month with Hetzner you'll get an i7 with 64GB RAM and 2x512 SSD that will easily handle any traffic spike (we're talking about a website, right?). €40 is not a lot of money, even for a non profit, and especially for one experiencing a huge spike after being mentioned in the news.

On the contrary, I would advise against AWS here as they're completely unpredictable. You can be charged any amount, and the costs only partly depend on you. Developers have been demanding hard caps for over a decade to no avail.
Any MySQL with more than about 100 concurrent queries of the same InnoDB table is going to be CPU bound on locks. Their whole locking scheme doesn't scale; it's designed to look great in benchmarks with few clients.
Those didn't come till they started pumping the site with banners. From there, malware assholes figured out they could advertise with a duplicate "download" button and get a healthy number of clicks (certainly got me more than once).

That was a dark day for the internet. Thank goodness for ad blockers.
By "small payments" do you mean less than $1000?

A payment system's fees need to be 1-2% at most to match credit cards. I remember fees going as high as $80 for a transaction back in the day, so that means you could only reasonably use bitcoin for a minimum of $1000-$10,0000 when fees were the worst. But in reality, Bitcoin can be .000001% (I put a random number of zeroes don't take it literally).

Additionally you're trying to "protect the blockchain" by having people never able to use it. Surely you see the absurdity.

If Bitcoin ever hit Visa scale, there'd be no problem with only well-capitalized miners maintaining a full chain. It's really not an issue, but frankly you should cross that bridge when we get to it anyway. In actuality Bitcoin was hard limited at 3-7 transactions/sec for no reason whatsoever.
Limited liability worker cooperatives are very common in some businesses.
As a fun replica car in a limited run it makes sense. You wouldn't want a DMC-12 (even as an EV, where the lack of acceleration and power could be addressed) for a daily driver. The ergonomics of the design are terrible. It's a cool-looking car, but supremely uncomfortable to drive or ride in.

I suppose that if you like attention it could be a "win". Driving one gets you a lot of attention, even 30+ years after "Back to the Future" came out. The appeal of those movies made that car immortal.

> Adam Back? The guy who said we should use "tabs" instead of Bitcoin while we waited for Lightning Network to be finished?

While I don't claim to know that Back was involved in the creation of Bitcoin, it's also really hard for me to understand why many people think Satoshi was just one person after all this time.

If anything Hal makes more sense and has way more circumstantial evidence if it was just a single person, but even then I don't think it matters much who was/were the thing we refer to as Satoshi Nakamoto and is actually a cool part of the mythology we've created over the years.

It's like something you'd expect from a Neal Stephenson or Daniel Suarez Book.

Because in the end, they don't matter anymore; it's gone so far from the original codebase that its entirely academic and quite honestly incredibly uninteresting in comparison to everything else that has been accomplished in this community. Though I argue much more could dhave been done if we didn't have to be derailed by this kind FakeToshi BS drama we so all too often in Bitcoin.
