I think that's likely true for social media apps where the product is "free" in that users are the product and advertisers are the customers that fund it. In that business model, your number one goal is to maximize eyeballs.

But Haven doesn't have that business model at all, so it's not clear to me that a way to control who sees what posts would harm success.

By analogy, farmers want to grow as many plants per acre as they possibly can to maximize revenue. The idea of potting their plants individually makes no sense. But if I just want a plant on my windowsill and don't want dirt everywhere, a pot is what I want.

The amount of mental jugglery in the comments in amusing. It is as if it is physically impossible and greatly naive to expect/have a person with great integrity in their financial/ethical conduct for public office while that is the very criteria that is tooted from the roof-tops whenever public office is concerned.
This is the real answer, although the algorithm used seems to use a sieve rather than a naive check for (x & i == 0)

While I wouldn't want our politicians subject to the risk of violence, I can't help but wonder what would have actually happened if some of the people that had such thoughts came into contact with their targets.

While there have been a few assassinations of police since the BLM riots started years ago, I'm not aware of any overt attacks on the persons in politics by the right. Obviously this is fairly fresh, so we'll see, but my point is there's talk and then there's action.

This is just a point of curiosity, not affirmations of the actions at the capitol. The plot against the Michigan governor by the right-wing anarchists strikes me as a much more credible threat than what occurred at the capitol, even though the latter is spoken about with some sort of future-telling confidence.

You're replying to a question about Amazon in Europe with stories about Amazon in America.

The question wasn't whether it happens in America. The question was whether it also happens in Europe (personally I've always assumed it does but my point is your articles don't address that despite being in response to that question).

Citadel is not being investigated.

Citadel had nothing to do with the Gamestop meme mania, besides being a market maker that processed a lot of transactions. Anything else you hear is crackpot conspiracy theories with zero evidence.

No problem! A colleague and I actually write a lot about these types of topics (link in bio) if you're curious.

A few quick reactions:

"It seems there is a spectrum of maturity/complexity (correlated with age and scale)"

100%, I don't think that early stage companies really need PMs, and IMO PMs at early stages can be actively harmful by causing overhead / trying to make themselves useful and failing. At early stages the founders/engineers/designers/even some sales or support people should fill the necessary parts of product management. Product management at this stage can be more like a set of activities that produces good decisions, rather than a formal department.

(Fwiw the company I work at has many hundreds of employees)

"there are orgs that expect PMs to be (or become) business domain experts and orgs that expect PMs to be highly-educated secretary-task-masters"

Yeah, the latter is kind of terrible I think. If you need secretaries or task masters you should probably hire engineers/designers (and management) that can keep the trains running on time or set up mgmt processes to do so automatically. PMs ideally only get involved in project management because they have the skills and they're incentivized by outcomes to roll their sleeves up when needed, not because it's part of their core job.

Good PMs also don't want to primarily do admin project management work, so (to bring it all back to your first comment) you'll end up with crappy PMs who are strictly less knowledgeable than your engineers.

It seems short sighted to let that trust go for so little considering how much profit Apple earns because of the trust. Even throwing a billion dollars at labor to prevent fraud and maintain their lead in trust seems obviously worth it at their scale.
It seems everyone in this thread feels strongly that they would have built a much better bikeshed than the author did.

But how many of you actually have?
There is a convention to the use of the E2EE term. All encryption involves a party that encrypts and one that decrypts. When the German U-boat operator used an Enigma machine to decode a message off the radio no one then or now would call what had happened E2EE. That is even in the face of the fact that many operators in many U-boats were decoding the same message. EteSync works in the same way.

E2EE is a term normally only used when some distinction from a default case is important. It is in a sense a weaker term than just "encryption". It is normally only used for particular cases in messaging.

Something like: "All data is strongly encrypted at all times when off the users devices." strikes me as stronger, better and easier to understand in this case.

I don’t know at the moment but the algorithm exists simply because every sorting algorithm we know about has a quantitative speed metric assigned to it called the Big Oh. Keep in mind that my claim is that we know how to define the fastest algorithm which is different from the claim that the field has found the fastest sorting algorithm that will ever exist.

Either way for the fastest algorithm out of the set or sorting algorithms that are known.... Most likely it’s a family of algorithms that share the same speed metric of O(N). There may be an algorithm or several algorithms that are faster. Look it up, you might find it.

What I can guarantee you can’t find is the best design pattern or style of programming. There is no theory here let alone a definition for “best.”

It’s obvious your question is trying to take the conversation in some other direction. Let me try to guess it. Your probably going to talk about other intrinsic downfalls and costs to sorting outside of the speed metric like memory or the domain limitation for O(N) sorting algos. To which I respond memory has nothing to do with the speed of the algorithm and is off topic from my claim. We know the fastest algorithm(s) by definition, because the theory of what is faster and what is not is fully fleshed out.

The theory on which is the best algorithm to use in a problem given the speed and memory cost is something we don’t have a theory for yet, hence the usage of best practices, which further proves my point. This is where you conflate things, you didn’t separate aspects of areas described by theory and aspects not yet described by theory. You mistakenly lumped everything together.

Hopefully I anticipated your actions correctly and you are the one who is taught a lesson here rather then your intention of teaching me something via your trap question.
Except for the fact that lawmakers had zero reason to crack down on it. Only the wise and specially educated could comprehend how any of the market works.

> Aren't state and local taxes also deductible from federal income taxes?

Yes, but the Trump tax changes put a $10,000 cap on this deduction, which is significantly lower than the standard deduction. Combined with low mortgage interest and the lower cap for new mortgage balances whose interest is deductable, a lot of people went to the standard deduction.

As a counterpoint, while I consider the shows to be oscillating between enjoyable and watchable (though admittedly only barely if we are talking about season 3), I found the books to be completely unreadable (well the first one at least - I'm not a masochist. I stoped there).

Abraham and Franck's prose is at best unremarkable when it's not plain bad and they have a bad habit of relying on characters acting, well, out of character and contrary to their interest when the story is stuck (which actually happens quite often and is something the show can't entierely escape sadly).
Further, a hash is the wrong primitive to use to store passwords. Just as you wouldn't attempt to invent a cryptographic hash function yourself.

I grew up pretty low income, Midwest rural, and there’s a clear difference between those of us from my high school class that went to college, and those that didn’t. I busted my butt to pay my way through school, and I am a much better person, and a much better employee because of it. University is an over priced pyramid scheme, but you learn things at university, like work ethic, that really sets you apart from other prospective employees. I see nothing wrong with a job requiring a college degree.
The only reason I haven't watched is that I've read the books and am wary (perhaps unreasonably so) of being disappointed.
I believe Lenin called such people "useful idiots".
I have trouble trusting the claims in the beginning of the article when the source given was not relevant to the author's implication that a degree is primarily for indicating wealth status:

> This comment really infuriated me because this type of outdated thinking—that a college degree from an elite, pricey university means you’re set for life—must die immediately. It falsely signals to employers that you’re better than the average Jane just because you have a piece of paper. In reality, all it really signals is your family’s socioeconomic status.

The source given[0] for this statement states nothing about employers and college graduates. Rather, it discusses the likelihood for a student to graduate from college based upon family income.

Following this:

> I preceded to tell him that it doesn’t matter if you have a college degree anymore to do today’s jobs and that he was basically bragging about his family’s socioeconomic status, not his son’s actual achievements.

I understand the frustration with both private and Ivy institutions hefty price tags. This has been well covered and isn't something I would debate.

After the issue with the first source, I decided to check the source for the infographic (titled "New college grads lack soft skills, employers say") near the end of the article. The Cengage/Morning Consult source[1] didn't have the same figures as purported in the graphic. There is another piece from HRDive referencing this[2] but also does not have the same figures.

Regardless of sources, what irks me the most is the idea that a degree is useless for work. Many forms of work require critical thinking, reading and analytics—someone who is able to earn a college degree (regardless of institution status) is able to demonstrate that they have some abilities in these skills.

How much did Mnuchin's vacations cost taxpayers? Oh yeah ... more.

"In the report, the OIG reviewed nine travel requests by Mnuchin for military air transportation since March 2017, of which seven were approved and taken, one was withdrawn, and one was approved with travel pending in late October 2017.[110] The total cost of the seven trips taken was $811,800, calculated from per-hour cost and operating hours for the specific aircraft, or Air Force-provided direct costs of operations."

And this was MY money he torched, not wallstreet

And this was just ONE of the shady things he did while serving. I'll take Yellen 7 days out of the week if the alternative are ghouls like Mnuchin.
We had a meeting when I was with IBM where MCMP (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSJP6K_191218...) was introduced as the target front-door for all cloud project requests.

The object being to train the end-users to go to the portal instead of contacting people directly or to go directly to the cloud vendor MCMP may be front ending.
But guys, that is not the problem.

The problem is getting more money than the people they serve just because they happen to be servants of the people.

> Germany has this fairly institutionalized

In the UK some organisations belong to 'the 5 percent club' [0] whose aim is that at least 5% of the workforce is formed from apprentices and sponsored graduates. It's not yet institutionalized but a good step in the right direction. I used to work for one of the founder organisations and it was quite common to meet prople who had joined as apprentices and were now achieving good work place qualifications and experience. I was always impressed by their motivation and pragmatism

Ask HN: What should early startup Employee Agreements require, and not?
I'm seeing a lot of variation and schools of thought in example what I'll call Employee Agreements (normal employee stuff, IP, NDA, etc.).

I'd like to understand a reasonable and fair balance between the needs of the company, and the needs of the employees. The needs of the company include satisfying whatever due diligence scrutiny is required by investors.

Some questions, based on example documents:

* Do employees have any reasonable expectation of privacy when on company facilities, using company devices/equipment, or using company-related services (Zoom, Slack DMs, VoIP, etc.)?

* Should people be required to list every prior invention and work of authorship, and agree that the company has rights to everything else? (If it matters, people in Cambridge, Mass. tend to have lots of ideas, past work, etc. And we can only pay a small fraction of what Google might pay for signing-away of rights.)

* If a document lists a dozen artifacts and assets that employees must make accessible and turn over to the company, and somehow misses SaaS passwords and 2FA, is it not tuned to the needs of a scrappy early startup, and we're looking at the wrong document?

* Can an employee solicit/hire another employee, either while working at the company or soon after? And if not, how long after severing are they locked out from that?

* How do we talk about what ideas belong to the company and what don't? On-your-own-time-and-own-equipment seems not enough, but related-to-the-business-of-the-company seems too vague.

* Should the employment agreement assert that the employee is only working in exchange for salary, and any other benefits and incentives are at the discretion of the company and can be modified at any time? (No mention of incentive stock options in a tech startup?)

A lawyer has to represent the interests of one party, so I'm asking HN about balance.

> the IRS prosecutes a lot more low-income people than high-income people (by percentage as well as by absolute numbers)

I'm not sure how this is relevant. As of October 2020, there were 614 billionaires in the US[1]. Of those 614 people, only a few of them are likely breaking any sort of tax law (billionaires have a lot of money to make sure they take advantage of loopholes, without breaking the law). So there isn't some big list of billionaires that the IRS could be going after but is choosing not to.

So the question is, are there known billionaire tax evaders that aren't getting prosecuted? That should be the only question that matters. Using statistics in this case would likely lead to more injustice than less, as the only way you could get billionaire vs non-billionaire prosecutions rates to align is by prosecuting billionaires that aren't breaking the law. (edit: unless there are many billionaire tax evaders that are just getting away with it, of course. I don't know if that's the case or not)

I don't really see this season as going back to Earth.

The entire narrative arc of the series is the social dynamics of humans as they take their first steps beyond Earth; how the initial scarcity of land suitable for human life gives rise to animosity, how eventually the potential bounty causes a rush to exploit, and how space natives struggle for their independence.

The current season is an interesting exploration of the terrorist / freedom fighter duality. It demonstrates clearly, through narrative, how effective committing atrocities can be to forcibly unite a people, and forge a more solid sense of identity through shared suffering and a common enemy.

While I understand why many people didn't like season 4 as much, I found it interesting because it explored how people would try and export Earth-bound laws to new worlds and new contexts, and how that would conflict with the lawless nature of a frontier.

In some ways, it reminds me of The Wire. The Wire is an exploration of drug crime, how it is structured, and how politics and the media are ultimately complicit in perpetuating it - or failing to stop it. The Expanse is a study of how humanity is likely to react to opportunities beyond Earth, at various stages: when there's a single viable alternative; when there's lots of scattered people collectively forming a new nationalistic identity; and when there are new settlers to new lands in a scenario of unbounded potential, and how that remote potential may reduce the will of people to fight over scraps on overcrowded (Earth) or environmentally hostile (Mars) planets.
I’m not in the EU so I can’t say.

In NZ, I can transfer up to 500k online and inter-bank settlement is hourly. That’s just the limit on my account ( which I could raise, but haven’t).

More than that and it’s a paper form. Settlement is still hourly but because humans are involved it takes longer to get the transaction into the system.

Oh, and I should mention that you wouldn’t hesitate to publicly give out your bank account number here either.
