Regarding your last point on feeling cheated, there are two aspects to it. Right now if you check the price of Slack with an indian IP, you will see $2.67 for the lower tier (6.67 for the US), Netflix will give wildly different prices per country [1], and Survey monkey gives me the same USD price in Euros. People expect to pay different prices in different countries.

The other aspect is to prevent a user from receiving different prices. To prevent that we do a few things. We remember the prices that were displayed to a user and can make sure an entire country gets the same prices during an experiment.

1970s: Our rural town had a little league field. Up by me was another plot of cleared land where we hillbillies would play.

The decades before this favored informal games. Afterward, league play dominated kid-ball.

I think the author wants to prevent his/her compulsive clicking of links. I can relate to that, as I tend to open a lot of content without second-guessing.

I accidentaly discover a different method to the same effect. To circumvent censorship in my country, I began regularly using a tor proxy. (Not the tor browser, just my regular browser setup). Of course everything became slow, reminding me of the good old 56k days. At first I was annoyed, it's not only slow, it's also full of CAPTCHAs. Most websites using cloudflare ask me to "prove I'm human". Annoying as it might seem, it's my ultimate "anti-compulsive-click" tool.

If I don't bother filling a captcha and/or waiting a few (~10-20) seconds to read something online, is it worth it ?

Most likelly not.
Without giving away too much information, due to my company's financial backing and long-term goal(s), I'm very doubtful that this is something they would be looking to build and sell, or invest in (outside of their use case).

Good point about checking for strings attached to the seed money though, I don't know off the top of my head but will need to find out.
Some have left unsustainable situations, but some were the a-hole of the situations.
Well, I'll give you a specific example I was thinking of. Nearly every economist agrees that rent control is a bad idea if your overall goal is to make more affordable housing available to the largest possible population [1]. Yet I consistently see arguments in my left-leaning city against increasing density (e.g. with large multi family buildings) as "those greedy developers". Even the whole "Cancel Rent" protests during Covid often portrayed landlords as greedy (literal) rent seekers, despite the fact that some of the largest providers of affordable housing are small landlords at risk of losing their properties. The overall effect of this demonization of profit motive is a severe, and in some places catastrophic, housing crisis.

What? If someone says a paper is too dangerous for Google, but then I read the paper and there is nothing dangerous at all for Google - that is evidence that there is in fact something too dangerous for Google in the paper?
C and C++ code CAN be secure, but most of it is not. It is too easy to write or update C / C++ code so that it is no longer secure or has unexpected and unsafe results.

https://blog.regehr.org/archives/213 gives great insights into how undefined behavior in C and C++ can be difficult to reason about and cause problems.

The lack of bulletproof memory safety and easy-to-stray-into undefined behavior of C and C++ make it easy to create code that is difficult to fully grasp how it will behave, especially when optimizing compilers are used. The C / C++ code runs really fast, but there are hidden dangers lurking.

I don't doubt that C and C++ will be with us for a long time to come, but the growing use of Rust, Zig, Ada, and others show that better alternatives exist and that they will replace the use of C and C++ for many domains and use cases.

Edit: Downvotes? Did you read my whole comment? I am saying that C / C++ are not secure for real-world use cases.
The key is whether there is actually opportunity cost. Unless I would otherwise be earning money, the monetary value of my time is zero. Usually, I'd otherwise be screwing around with a hobby, playing video games, or other things that don't earn me money. Therefore, I aim to DIY as much as I can. Paying someone to fix my car or the drain under my sink seems like a ridiculous expense if I can do it myself for free.

If instead I were constantly working on $100/hr contracts/gigs, and fixing something would take actual time out of that work, then I would be more tempted to pay someone $60/hr to do something I could otherwise do myself.
Gay men and women being transphobic is... actually fairly common, actually. Being gay does not mean you automatically feel solidarity with trans folk, even if the roots of the gay rights movement involve us. The TERF movement in the U.K. started as a lesbian movement, and the argument that “girls are being forced to be trans” is one of their talking points.

Defending the right of someone to write a book about their thinly veiled hatred is one thing; commenting that you think there’s a good point in it and other people should read it is another.
You'd be surprised how many companies have totally broken software development process.

Basically most companies where software isn't the core product and moneymaker (semiconductors, automotive, 100 year old german companies, etc).

Remember how the compilation time of Nokia's Symbian OS was two weeks?

As long as money keeps rolling in nobody cares that your development process is totally whack and your promotions as a dev come not from seeking to improve things but from learning these idiosyncratic process and saying yes to whatever your boss says. Ask me how I know.

1.) Xiaomi worth billions of dollars, not 1.4 trillion, but way more than most companies.

2.) People call out Google all. the. time. There's an article here weekly about dumping Google, finding alternatives, praying for antitrust regulation, etc.

3.) We don't commonly call billionaires who live in the middle east, china, and other non-western countries "oligarchs", do you know why?

Why are you so upset about Xiaomi getting called out?

You lost me at this conclusion. This is wrong in every sense of the word and perfect case of Survivorship Bias[0]

The point of having societies is so we should not fend for ourselves, especially rich societies. In rich countries there should be no poor people and charity should not exist because it is not needed.

1U rack-form cases are pretty expensive actually. That's really the main issue with racks: you spend a substantial amount of money on just the form factor. 1U is very small: so the fans are moving fast and are very loud.

Its a form-factor specifically designed for server rooms: where you put ear-plugs in before entering the room. The money spent on the racks / physical infrastructure is small compared to the ongoing costs of actually powering or cooling the room

"is a safe and stable store of value"

First - currency is not a store of value, it's just a means to facilitate exchange.

If you have more than a few thousand dollars, and want to store it for a while you can literally ask the teller at your bank and they, in their most absolute basic form of financial counsel will offer you some alternatives like long-term bonds with better yield. Or you can buy real estate or whatever.

As far as 'transparency' - it's more 'understanding'. The proles don't need to know, in fact few people need to know.

The issue of 'credit' is more or less between regimes, not between people within an economy. USDs held by China are IOUs, but that's a little less relevant when Canadians are trading CDN dollars among one another.

But it doesn't matter, regular people don't need to understand, just like they don't need to understand what mRNA is.

'Stores of Value' just really are not a problem for the proles, and frankly, once they have a little bit of money there are plenty of financial options for them. If they have a lot of money, there are people that can advise them.

We need to have monetary policy and we need it to be done well - there is absolutely no magical equation that can solve that problem for us - the notion of 'distributed currency' doesn't provide anything.

We need competency in our justice system, our medical system, in our regulatory apparatus, in municipal works etc. - the Central Bank is no different - it needs to be managed responsibly and there's no way around it.

Some people think BTC would work for developing nations i.e. the 'unbanked' masses, in areas with bad banks or shady central banks. I suggest that BTC would be bad in almost every way: it's impossible for people to use directly, they would need some kind of 'exchange' at minimum, which would have to be regulated, at which point -> just have a bank account (!) denominated in some respectable currency and that's that. Literally Bank of America could bank Nigerians if need be over their SMS. That would be much better than BTC.

Crtypo may have some value for digitizing national currencies ... but blockchain itself probably provides no value at all.
I think attempting to hire people who are passionate is a by-product of an industry where it's been difficult to reliably hire software engineers at the level that the hiring manager's would prefer. There are a lot of problems with the expectations that hiring managers have.

Most hiring managers seem to be looking for candidates that can take a feature, ticket, or idea and just make it happen. Which often requires someone with decently mature experience and a variety of skills. They then use Passion as a strong indicator for this kind of success.

Passion can also be used as an indicator for people who are willing to work more than what they are paid for or a way to ask do you have responsibilities, limitations, disabilities that prevent you from writing code on the weekends and/or evenings?

I think it's safe to say, that if passion is being used as a gating question or primary metric for hiring decisions it's likely that it won't work to meet a company’s hiring needs.

If Passion is used as part of a constellation of data to help inform and build out a broader understanding of a potential candidate, it's likely to have minimal negative consequences and might even be helpful.
Moore's law was famously exponential, until it wasn't, because there are physical limits. Grain per hectare made some noticeable jumps, but no growth or even negative growth due to organics. Limit now is probably what the ecosystem will bear, and that is something linear or constant.

The reason why I think a polynomial is the best we can do is that some very special processes generate exponential behaviour, mostly stuff that is self-replicating. I don't see those in technology. Technology doesn't reproduce all by itself, it needs to be invented, financed, etc. Those are limits that force it subexponential.
Curious: why last takes the quantity second, unlike nth? That inconsistency would drive me mad.
I disagree. First of all, most C code can be run as C++, so everything bad you can say about C applies to C++ as well. Second, C++ introduces its own problems that also make programming unsafe compared to other managed languages and even compared to C.
My father is like this. He believes very strongly that he should be allowed to say anything and other people should be able to take it.

I don't really agree, personally, but I empathize with the central crux of the argument (freedom of speech, or something like that). Nobody likes to be told what (or what not) to do. But I think life would be easier if we all spent some time thinking about how our audience would perceive our words before we say them out loud.
That’s a lot of anger and words over something that, in the grand scheme of things, is so utterly unimportant and almost contemptuously irrelevant.

Things are always a trade-off. There are big positives to keeping the ecosystem on a consistent, new and secure version of iOS. Similar positives apply to MacOS.

> It's pretty clear that they ONLY denied the warranty to the 12V battery. Which is reasonable and is clearly stated on the manual.

How is that clear? I am curious where in the article that was made clear to you.

The Headline is "Tesla voids your warranty if you try to power your home with your electric car battery pack", and another section "The Tesla service center said that the battery needed replacing, but they actually found this post on the Facebook group and said that his setup voided the warranty."

>The university’s Office for Equity, Equal Opportunity and Title IX (EEO-TIX) looked into this matter and concluded that the concerns expressed by students were sincere, but that Professor Patton’s actions did not violate the university’s policy. They have also communicated this to the professor and he allowed me to share their conclusion with you.

>To be clear, Professor Patton was never suspended nor did his status at Marshall change. He is currently teaching in Marshall’s EMBA program and he will continue his regular teaching schedule next semester.

Seems to me there has been some misinformation in this matter. The professor ended up getting paid holiday if anything.

Lockdown gave me opportunity to connect and reconnect with a lot more people than ever before. I am married and naturally introvert. But I felt I have never been this social before.

Of course, it started with work happy hours over Zoom, then I started organizing happy hours with my friends. Then proceeded to have happy hours with old friends around the world who I would have never thought about reconnecting. Of course, some of happy hours were just dinners, some were with wife's friends. Strangely, my wife who considers herself extrovert didn't really enjoy virtual gatherings and she been having very rough time. I wish I could help her but she just wants to meet people in person. And yes I spend a lot of time with her, watching Netflix etc. But pretty sure if I was single, I would have been able to do more Zoom/virtual gatherings.

Here are some of the way I socialize online:

1. Super large happy hours - perfect for introverts because some people will keep the conversation going and you can chillax.

2. Drink with just one or two people on Zoom - works with close friends only but you can have meaningful conversations.

3. Watch movie/show while on Zoom/phone. Works great if you and your friends like to make comments during movies.

4. Video games - online or single player. You don't have to play same game, fun to have a conversation while playing games. Use bluetooth headsets.

5. BBQ. I even done pool party last summer. Not everyone had access to pool but they could still join us.

6. Join random meetup on Zoom around the world and learn something new. Invite your friends to join you.

7. Zoom workout challenges, though not fun for me. We do push ups and squats.

And to get started, just sch. a fb event and invite a few friends. It is awkward initially but many people will thank you for organizing it, and then it gets easier.

> Non-compete clauses are unethical. Adding non-enforceable clauses is unethical.

Neither are unethical, as neither are misrepresentations or dishonest.

There's no reason you cannot agree to terms that are unenforceable. People do it all the time. You do, too. The cost of breaking your word is not legal action, but the other party will consider you dishonorable.

> Both of the aforementioned points are made worse by the fact that the companies generally have more leverage + more ability to retain legal counsel, make it a lot worse, because that means that they most certainly knowingly do this.

If you're negotiating for a 6 figure job, you can afford $400 to have a lawyer review your contract. Keep in mind that the fact that you are offered more than minimum wage means you do have leverage.

Even if you can't afford a lawyer, you can ask on HN :-) or at least google the clauses.

> "OP made good decisions and worked hard"

OP could as easily "made the wrong decisions", it's literally a crapshoot.
This is known as “vacancy trutherism”, and it has about as much truth to it as q-anon. The vacancy rate is in the low single digits, and the less vacancy there is, the less affordable the market is. The vast majority of vacancies are units that are in the process of being rented or sold.

The idea that there is some Illuminati cabal of housing speculators holding vast numbers of units off the market is a crazy fantasy pushed by those who don’t want to face the reality that our society has not built enough housing.

The article you link shows how laughable this concept is. It contains a table of states ordered by their vacancy to homeless ratio. One would expect that the states with the worst housing crises would appear at the top of the list. But California appears at the very bottom of the list, since it has the lowest number of vacancies per homeless people. This would imply that California is doing the best out of all the states on housing!

It depends. Some may not like this but if I dog runs up to me while I am walking my dog and starts growling and attempting to attack, I will strike their nose/throat. One can also raise their voice. Additionally, if you have a weapon or a stick, you should definitely use it.

Obviously if it a small dog, I would take less drastic measures, but if it is a dog as strong as pitbull, I would not hesitate to use necessary force to protect myself. It is on the owner to keep the dog leashed and away from other people.
I've been in the Node.js world for 10, and web dev world for almost 20, years now.

There are now hundreds of build systems, most of which copy the other ones but still aren't compatible with each other.

There are hundreds of frameworks spewing out security issues all over the ecosystem.

React and Vue don't enforce anything and certainly aren't the most stable of the selection of frameworks that exist. At least for React, a significant amount of money was dumped into it by a large, privacy invading and unethical corporation, which ultimately made it "popular". Facebook used it so it MUST be good, right?

None of it is amazing; it's quite sad. The fact that we're locked into a small set of browsers, none of which can be reproduced or hacked on in any meaningful way aside from those dedicated to them. The fact we can't create our own browsers without wading through an ocean of specs.

It's ludicrous. How anyone can say "it's amazing" in a positive connotation astounds me.
Oh I'd say in that regard we've already failed, we're not really massively profitable and not planning on getting any kind of "hockey stick" or exit. We're a slow growth services/consulting company that cares more about working on interesting fun stuff with our friends than pure profit.

I love doing the tedious devopsy/documentation/maintenance stuff that other people don't enjoy, so a lot of that stuff falls on my shoulders or gets spread around evenly so the people who don't enjoy it aren't stuck with it full-time.

When I leave, that stuff will get passed on to others, but we've built a culture around caring about tech debt and long-term health, and splitting that workload between interesting fun things and not-so-fun things, so I have faith that it won't collapse.
