> Do due diligence before picking a place to live, folks.

Frankly houses for sale & rent should come with a sound recording of the last two weeks of use

Dilligence is hard as heck; who knows if there's som neighbor that habitually does carpentry at 2AM or whose dog goes apeshit a couple times a week or a delivery service va blasting it's noisemaker at 5AM.

I agree about doing due diligence but a lot is hard to account for. We are so much at the mercy of the outside world. Maybe the neighbors AC sucks & reverbs something wicked. How would a winter home buyer find that out? Or maybe it's the heater that's a problem.

And it just doesn't feel like we're in a world where people tend to be open to working together to improve things.
Unfortunately it's not just scraping, they're also often used for outright fraud. Various online payment payment processors' fraud detection systems can be circumvented partially by appearing as a legit residential end user on a comcast cable connection, for instance. Or lots of other fraudulent activities where you have a click worker in a cube farm in a low labor cost location, using the proxy, pretending to be an end user in the usa.
Isn't a VM just as good and more convenient, though?
10th grade computer engineering involved doing this. So much fun. So educational. And the computers were all a write off so there was plenty of learning to be done.
I'm talking about accountability, not blind trust.
I used to be in software, which is how I found HN. Then I rage-quit my last in-career job.

I was a B-player, and past my fresh date. I stumbled around a bit, and wound up here.

I like it. I haven't been in a meeting in three years, and my commute is three feet. Right now I'm in California on I-5, looking at Mt Shasta floating above the clouds.

I get paid to look out the window.
> Leaving money tied up on the service indefinitely is not really an option when you start talking about the kind of money that would actually motivate someone to do a lot of work.

This is something that I've been going back and forth on for a while. I've considered having the money be a 'pledge' like Kickstarter. Where people pledge the funds and pay out when the issue gets resolved.

But that can add some technical concerns (keeping track of peoples bank details to charge them) as well as less assurance that the developer will get paid.

And I especially don't want to have a platform where a developer puts in the work and doesn't earn the bounty.

Parallel effort is another tricky one to solve. And I see it all the time even without funding involved. Someone comments that they're working on an issue, and then everyone else drops it for 6 months only to realize that person dropped it too.

I think that splitting bounties could be a good solution. Have multiple people contribute towards a branch, and the funding gets distributed evenly.
Attend UC Davis, and you too can smell cow and hog dung whenever the winds shift just right. ;-)
I sure am, and if I can code gen 90% of the boiler plate away I'll do it happily. Besides attacking me, do you have any point you'd like to make?
I moved from a city to the countryside a couple years ago, and I think what startled me is how loud it is. I confess I'd expected quiet but farm equipment, tractors, etc. make quite a lot of noise.

Fortunately, the dawn chorus is nearly deafening and brings me joy every morning.

It's been great, but now I realize that a few acres an hour from the city isn't quite enough for solitude, you're mostly in a working food factory (fair enough I suppose); if you want real quiet it seems you might need 50-100+ acres many hours away.
Exactly. OP paints an extremely false equivalency. It’s oranges and tomatoes.
2017 model but I factory reset my Macbook to clean up clutter and free up disk space and it runs notably faster now that I have 200 free gigabytes.

> Why do you say it doesn't match hardware?

Because the CPU itself can block. In this case on memory access. Most (all?) async software assumes the CPU can't block. A modern CPU has a pipelining mechanism, where parts can simply block, waiting for e.g. memory to return. If you want to handle this all nicely, you have to respect the api of this process which happens to go through the OS. So for example, while waiting for your memory page to be loaded, the OS can run another thread (which it can't in the async case because there isn't any other thread).
You'd fit in perfectly in an oppressive nazi or communist regime.
One of the Largest Banks in Russia Reportedly Preparing to Launch Own Stablecoin
"The biggest retail bank in Russia is reportedly gearing up to launch its own proprietary stablecoin.

According to the Russian news outlet Interfax, Sberbank has filed an application with the Central Bank of Russia to launch a blockchain-based digital asset that’s pegged to the Russian ruble."
I'm still running the 512mb model with kodi. I don't really watch movies or shows that often and don't even have a TV capable of 4k, so it's still doing well.
I think it all depends on what you're interested in. I don't enjoy programming that I feel is "overly abstract" (of course this term has no meaning outside of my own opinionated viewpoint of software engineering). I also enjoy ripping apart the layers of systems to understand the constituent parts. So for me low-level programming is more satisfying, but I'm sure there are people who feel exactly opposite for the same reason. Different folks different strokes.
> Through all this, the FBI never breathed down the neck of the protestors

Someone should remind him of vietnam war protests I guess...
Yeah, intelligence service of both(and more) countries probably do that kinda of stuff on a regular basis, that's why they exist, but I don't think that had hardly any effect. "Russians, Russians", "Trump is a puppet of Putin" etc was a convenient scapegoat for losing the election. But problem of democrats was not Russians, but the fact that half of the country was ok with voting for Trump. And split was there long before and just growing with time, but Americans are doing great job splitting up themselves. Like with anti-sanders higher up demparty struggle. Both sides are now so politicized they are ready to bend reality and view everything through hate to the opponent.
It's generally well accepted in the criminology field that you can reduce crime and that actually the most effective way to reduce crime happen well before and are not related to policing anyone. No one wants to suffer from crime by inaction.
How were a bunch of crazies in the capitol going to take control of the US surveillance infrastructure?
If anything, the fact that he _wasn't_ banned until recently despite indulging in behaviour that would get any normal person banned could be read as evidence to the contrary (though I don't think it _should_ be; both Twitter and Facebook have an IMO misguided policy that national leaders should be handled with kid gloves and allowed do pretty much anything).
I add another examples about changes.

I grew up in the early 80s in a very small village, in a very rural area: the parents of all pupils were farmers, except mine. Cereals production was dominant, with a part of cattle and poultry.

Nowadays there are problems between farmers and non-farmers. Non-farmers will complain about farmers. Farmers will complain about the complaints from non-farmers. Which is right?

Farmers will tell that those assholes from the cities do not understand their work, that they must adapt to traditions if they come settle there, and so on. For examples, that harvesting at 2 AM is normal because it is cooler. I am sorry but this is somewhat bullshit. Or complete bullshit. When I was a kid, they would never work at night, except for a real emergency (and they didn't have air-conditioning). The truth is, that those farmers have bought a lot more land, that the surface of each farm has tripled or quadrupled, and therefore they have to harvest 3 or 4 times more in the same time period or even in less time because they have specialised in a single activity (giving up on cattle for example) and must do all their surface at the same moment instead of just a part. There is no tradition in that, it is brand new.

Also, nobody had breathing troubles because of harvesting when I was a kid. But now the harvesters are larger, faster, and they make clouds of fine dust which spread far. I am not normally asthmatic, but last times I visited there at harvest period, I had breathing problem because of that dust. Again, zero tradition there. Even with mechanised agriculture of WW2- 1980s, it was not a thing.

So the recent changes are creating true problems, and complaining about does not always mean being an intolerant entitled asshole. Those problems cannot be swept away in the name of tradition. If farmer had remained traditional in their techniques, there wouldn't be such problems and people wouldn't complain about them.
I wish there would be more of this offerings for broken single board computers out there. They are ideal learning projects for getting used to hot air stations, microsoldering and debugging circuits.

> the US was never to be a democracy, and you can not engineer a better one

If it wasn't designed to be democracy, it should be trivial to design a better one, just like it's trivial to build a better automobile than a tricycle, which wasn't designed to be an auto.

> We are a constitutional republic with a LIMITED government

That's not incompatible with democracy, and suggesting that they are exclusive alternatives just means you don't understand at least one of “democracy”, “constitutional republic”, or “limited governmemt”.

(And more fully, you want to say “federal republic with constitutionally-limited government and both the federal and state levels, and reserved powers for the states”, but that still isn't exclusive with “democracy”.)

> we as a society has lost respect for those constitutional limits

I don't see any evidence that respect for Constitutional limits has declined, which seems to be a result of combining a cynical view of the present with a rosy view of the past (the First Amendment is a beautiful set of Constitutional limits, but the Alien and Sedition Acts were adopted when the ink on it was barely dry.)

> and instead of taking principled stands to restrict government we have taken unprincipled stands based on the outcome we desire for society

Stands made on different sets of principles than you prefer do not thereby become “unprincipled”.
very well explained. looking forward to the rest of the series
Equating people protesting police brutality with people attempting to overturn an election by force is quite a stretch. But words mean precisely nothing to the right. One moment they'll be screaming "Blue Lives Matter!" and the next they'll be braining Capitol cops with fire extinguishers. Did a store owner kick out a kook ranting at and bullying people? Great! Did $WEBSITE boot a kook for doing likewise online? CENSORSHIP!

Here's what I think: Smash out a store window and steal stuff because the cops killed someone you might or might not know? Go to jail. Rampage through the halls of Congress, carrying zip ties and looking for elected officials to kidnap and hold hostage or kill, in the name of overturning the election, because your presidential candidate lost? You damn well better go to jail for a long time.
forces you to deal with many levels of management that influence not only "what" you program, but sometimes also "how" you do it"

That's because there's a lot more choice when you're working at a higher level. If you're working with an embedded system with an AVR, you're choices may be C/C++ and Assembly-- No need to get into an argument over the latest shiny framework.

You'll never really be isolated from office politics or poor management though. Things like feature creep or changing specs etc. also won't go away.
FWIW, I had updated Java to use a capabilities model (before the "SecurityManager" cruft was so rudely shoved into the libraries) that was patterned after Joule (one of the few (if not the only) language that had passed 'red book' security certification). And part of the challenge of building it had been understanding method and class "signatures" which would inform the model. In particular, the challenge was trying to figure out what "side effects" were relevant and which were not[1]. The requirement was to throw IncompatibleClassChangeException when the class had changed and thus the capability was possibly incorrect.

We got pretty draconian and went for a "class changes can be "additive" only, so that the capabilities could be forward compatible with new classes.

Sadly, politics got in the way of shipping it so I ended up with only a couple of patents and a later Javaworld column out of it and most of work never saw the light of day.

[1] For example you might have a File class with a write() method that you wanted to be part of a write capability, but there might also be a update_metadata() method that effectively wrote something to the file so you needed that to be part of the capability, and that method might be looking at static member data of meta data flags, which were also part of the read() capability.
We will post more publicly soon.

I think the implication here was that your parents and grandparents were less computer savvy at the time. This resulted in them installing all kinds of toolbars that destroyed performance.
Nothing protects you from management except running your own company, and generally the further you are from business the less value you can obtain. The best you can hope for as an employee is a good manager to shield you from hassle. I have friends who stuck with low level work and they are either aging in security jobs that ceased to stimulate them or relegated to a shifting sands array of temporary employers with minimal financial security.
Low level programming can definitely be satisfying, but don't expect it to shield you from politics.
Where do you think we are in fully autonomous planes. Curious if that problem is easier or harder than cars.

How exactly does it help when Facebook tells a bad actor what
part of the publicly available guidelines were violated?

Why can't Facebook just have a hotline/chat that can verify a
user's identity and tell them more, preferrable in less than 5
months of spamming their email?

And in the case of a permanent ban the user should at least be
able to download all their account data; this feature is already
implemented for compliance with GDPR anyway and the online
platform wouldn't lose anything by at least not making pictures
etc. inaccessible forever.

I think it was because MS’ Java’s standard libraries included Java wrappers over Win32 already, so programming beginners in Java can make “real”-looking Windows desktop GUI applications without knowing any C or at least knowing how to read *.h files and translate them to Java.

It was captured. It's just that food, and specifically restaurants is only one component of CPI. In Canada it makes up 5% of the basket of goods ("Food" makes up 17%):

Neem Karoli Baba.

Getting his photo ID's an awesome scam, obviously they could have told the author that his account was permanently disabled right from the get go, but Zucc wanted one more valuable piece of information, as a favor from the banned victim.

Never forget there's a reason why they call it Artificial intelligence.

Yes it's totally rational. I do the same thing. I had a school loan that was at a 0.1% interest rate. I could have paid it off with my savings, but my savings interest was more than that, so it made more sense not to pay it off. I was sad when it was finally paid off, because it meant I was no longer arbitraging the interest.
Consider that steps 1-3 may often be skipped, since it will usually be the existing maintainers who are resolving issues.

And given that they will likely be fixing the issues at some point anyway, it could just be another bit of supplemental income. As well as give them an idea of what issues people are struggling with the most.

I think it's unlikely that rysolv bounties will ever pay an engineers salary. But I see so many projects with thousands of download get like $4 / month on Open Collective. And I figure I could at least beat that.
They already do that with their human brains. I've been stopped by the police for:

- Sitting in a parked car in a suburban street for too long.

- Going shopping at 2am.

- Walking under a bridge at night.

It's OK as long as they quickly realize you're harmless and leave you alone.
The problem is there is no way to remove earth and earth exceptionalism. The question "why haven't we seen aliens visiting mars" presupposes that we ourselves have observed mars so thoroughly that we should have expected to see such evidence. Given that we have only been closely observing mars for a few decades, either we'd have to get very lucky to see an alien visiting mars right when we just happen to be looking, or they would have to visit mars on an extremely regular basis. The fermi paradox is fundamentally about our specific lack of observation, for all we know the martians have already made contact and thus there is no paradox for them.
When you say that people need to be ethical, and then give your only example and say that they “absolutely should not...” I think it’s fair to say your claim is that it should not be done.

So, bufferbloat with ships then causing a denial of service of the port infrastructures. They didn’t talk to the ports if they could handle such giants? I bet the port workers knew that but that information got lost on its powerpointed way up to the management.

I think you should back that claim up with data. 200K people were at The Women’s March in 2017 which is thought to be the largest US protest: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2017/02/0...

Regardless, I stand by my words, “the activity at the Capitol clearly went beyond the bounds of what I’d call a protest.” I have less concern about what people outside of the Capitol were doing.
Why should OP draw the conclusion for you? Everything they’ve said is most certainly true. You can decide what you want to do about it.

For me, it makes the “going dark” claims that the FBI likes to drum up about encryption particularly ridiculous.
Anti-cheating software is a fundamentally flawed approach. As remote education becomes more common educators should leave the concept of an "exam" behind and embrace project-based and open book curriculum.
People who went into the Capitol building are fair game, people who were protesting outside are not. They should not be part of the dragnet.

If people committed crimes, try them, else, they should not be dragged into it.
I wouldn't call that "stuck in the past".

Cost. Tesla has to sell cars to price-sensitive consumers. Adding a LIDAR would likely increase the price significantly. Given their business model, they basically have to argue that LIDAR is not necessary.

The kickstarter approach is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. Since people are much more likely to pledge funds than to give cash.

Since there is the chance that the money gets refunded, people are willing to up the contribution.

> The true increase in the cost of living is much higher than the official CPI.

There's a decent argument that it's slightly higher, especially when you talk about the minimum cost at the low end, because of hedonic adjustments included in the CPI.

There's not, that I've seen, a good argument that it is “much higher”.

> CPI is nearly completely worthless for identifying inflation in the cost of living

This claims is desperately in need of supporting evidence or at least argumentation.
The uniform access principle is that features are "available through a uniform notation, which does not betray whether they are implemented through storage or through computation"; it doesn't imply anything about what the uniform notation is. Java-style getters/setters also achieve the uniform access principle; everything is accessed only via get_X()/set_X() and never a raw field .X that would betray it was implemented through storage.
