Someone turned right in front of me one day, almost causing me to hit them when I had my kids in the car. I was absolutely furious. It was a distinct car, with a vanity plate, that quickly led me to an Instagram account with a link to their business websites. The sites were PHP messes with a bunch of vulns and directory listings with links to admin pages, domain control panels, email, you name it. I was very tempted to nuke everything before common sense returned to me and I just let it go.

I (when I am not using a throwaway) try to act like anyone I interact with online could be standing outside my house. You just never know.
Zig Community Update #2
Universal Basic Income is NOT Fuck You Money as it is totally reliant on government for a source of income. True "Fuck You Money" is having enough in diversified assets to a point you never have to work for anyone the rest of your entire life. It's also not maybe having enough money for a few years as some would seem to suggest here.
You got it!

Like I sort of referenced in my OP, it's part of a group of exploits which still lacks firm industry terminology, but definitely are out there.

The only firm things I can ID so far in this cyber<>physical attack space is:

- cyber<>cyber TTPs definitely apply in a certain way

- Vulns->exploits can start with CIA-like threat modeling (so ID'd starting point)

- the indicators of compromise show up both in the cyber domain, and physical domain, as part of a single attack

- it's a greenfield on defining what an IOC in the physical domain part of this attack is. If you attack plant watering system, is there anything unique on the outcome of plants that indicate it's definitely cyber?

- The physics of the real world play a large role in governing how the physical aspect of the attack occurs(my human ability to read, process notifications at certain scales of notification receipt)

Another example is "AI/ML" can generate financial reports that are believable. If you consider the behavior that a lot of folks trade purely on Twitter news, you can model exploits via thinking how you could compromise the integrity and availability of financial reports that people trade off of (I and A in CIA) by:

- Integrity: if you can get the fake report to get uptake on Twitter on key nodes, "the truth" of a company's finances can be replaced via this false report, as you have a legion of twitter traders following a much smaller legion of key accounts for trading views

- Availability: if you generate enough volume of this fake report vs. the real report, a metric humans use to eval the truth of things is "is it in every newspaper," so you can reduce the availability of the real report as it is drowned out.

And so on... there's definitely real attacks here, but they exist a bit outside of current security models. Very cool area.

This article does not explain the mechanism at work. How are Federally guaranteed, privately originated loans functionally different from Federally guaranteed, publicly originated loans in terms of education cost inflation? They could only be different if the principal determining mechanism is also different between the programs but that is not mentioned.

Private grade school costs have also grown 42% in real dollars over the last ten years.* Federal loans do not explain this fact either.

That's an interesting anecdote.

I think it highlights why doing that kind of stuff now is more difficult. I know people here in California paying a few thousand $ in property tax on their million dollars houses because they bought decades ago (Thanks Prop-13) but how will someone like me, a fairly recent newcomer afford their tens of thousands $ of property taxes for a new home I buy here?

Will inflation eat away at our money such that in 30-40 years from now my tens of thousands $ of property taxes will be similar to the $800/yr your grandfather is paying now? I doubt it.

I think that others are saying is true, you just have to pick up and move from expensive places if you want to reduce your costs significantly, no two ways about it.
By which I assume you mean that the core problem is that they were casually denigrating the parents rather than trying to work with them?
I struggle to find a use-case for which NFT is the answer. NFTs are not presentable, in the same way that an original artwork is presentable. They do not denote ownership or IP control of the article in question (which would be a use case, albeit one with much more efficient answers). And nothing prevents people from registering the NFT token against artwork they do not own, possess or control.

I just cannot see how this is anything other than a process for turning coal into a passing vanity. This has the stink of coin bros all over it.
Awesome! Super stoked to try this. Couple of quick questions

-- was the name a play on superhuman the email service? if so, smooth move. I've been waiting 3 years for SuperHuman -- it appears it's just soma users + the clubhouse inner circle.

-- Was product hunt on your launch map? If so, to what extent on the radar.

I ask because I have one to many micro-apps for the M1 Macbook Air [or tested on such] -- I haven't launched yet, but I don't want to worry about playing games on growth hacks when my focus went on the product experience - not the slick tricks to quickly tip subscribing "users" to use something in the near future that may not even exist beyond a page. Or a PH "landing page".

I'm thinking, as of 2021, ... maybe HN is the most authentic way to go. [And of course, relevant reddit orgs that may find it useful with the consent of the respective subreddit admin].

Anyways, I sidetracked, but wanted to reaffirm -- Great, simple app - wish there were more of these! Looks great next to the Caffeine icon ;).
We don't need price controls, we need the government to STOP giving out guaranteed student loans. Then limited forgiveness on the existing ones.
I registered .com domains with my kids' names when they were born, and when one of them discovered that they could get the email address gmail@hisname.com he was stoked. His friends don't understand how it's possible for that email address to work. As a practical joke, he always says "what do you mean? Doesn't gmail@yourname.com not work too?"
I went to a religious grade school and a public high school. I started coding and playing with Linux when I was around nine.

The answer, in my experience as a kid, is yes -- schools actively block all kinds of programming activity on school resources.

The reasons are pretty simple:

- Schools don't pay the best admins and much of their advanced capabilities come from vendors.

- The vendors often don't produce "secure" software like you and I (read: in the industry) would expect. A lot of this software has obvious holes. I have fond memories of exploiting the Novell boot process to mount Linux or implementing my own pass through proxy on my home server so I could browse the "real" web while at school. Another example, one of my best friends/colleagues/fellow students/future boss installed a Halo server on our 3D rendering server and you can bet I could join a game at any time from anywhere on the network.

- Schools don't implement zero trust (zero trust didn't even really exist back then, but I know this to be true to this day) and much of this is derivative of that simple fact.

- Software vendors are often limited by the OS. A lot of Novell's exploits were because of opaque API's provided by Windows that they didn't fully understand or that changed. This encourages further locking down of the environment.

So the problem is a lot more nuanced than Amjad and Paul make it seem, I suspect they know that are using this as a conversation starter. If that is indeed the case, I would prefer they just start this conversation rather than this ridiculous round about method that takes advantage of outrage and sensationalism.

Schools need help more than they need vague criticism.
Hi Andrew, I'm a big fan of your work btw.

As I said in the original comment, sync/async and no-alloc/alloc or no-error/error are in a parallel situation. And in a language design you can either expose “colors” to your users, or hide it through some magic and a global state. I personally prefer the former, and I liked Zig's idea to expose the allocation explicitly, instead of what Rust did initially (there are slowly rolling out the option to use a specific allocator for collections, which is good even if it took almost 6 years after 1.0). With error Handling, Zig also took the same route with error sets instead of exceptions.

That's why I don't think the colorblind async mechanism is a good fit in the language (and it adds some cognitive burden, because newcomers need to learn that looking at code full of async/await doesn't necessarily mean they are looking at non-blocking code).

(Also, async-std is a third party library with little in common with std and whose name has been chosen for “marketing” reason, so I' don't really think the comparison is relevant.)
ive had friends get into YC without an idea, just two guys looking to start a company
I had about 15 interviews all within a span of two weeks; I applied for those jobs the week before and I was fairly selective based on what I'm interested in doing and the kind of company I'm looking for. I don't have an incredible resume and I've never worked for any important company that you've heard of, I live in flyover country.
Glad you found it useful! Smart contacts are intersting stuff.

Your best bet is probably a reddit pm (not their new chat feature), my username is the same. I should get twitter but it's one of those things I never really got into.
The government should make secondary education free at public institutions. This should be the same as with regular schooling (grades 1- 12). An investment in our people will go along ways, and will provide equity to everyone in the nation.

Not sure how to handle private institutions, but they have been getting a piggy back for a very long time. If they have the leadership and the organizations and prestige then they will be heavily desired still. If they are not worth the value that they offer, then they will loose out. This could have a large impact on these types of schools.
Again facebook news. Tricky as always. There is only one evil in big tech. Others are angel. Dont say they all same. These kind of frequent news will guide you. And you start to say “ X is also evil i know but not much like facebook”. And that what they want us to think. On safari you dont need to run faster than lion. Just dont be the last among runners. When somebody talk about privacy, sentences start with Facebook and the rest is unimportant. Basic media manupilation and psychology.
I love the lack of fluff, lack of political bs and the honesty on display here.
" I have zero doubt that if a representative sample of the population took a scientifically controlled IQ test (and everyone participated honestly, to the fullest extent of their abilities) that Feynman would have placed near the top if not at the top of the distribution."

...He did take an IQ test and this did not happen.

You're just basically admitting here that no amount of evidence will ever cause you to rethink your worship of the IQ test.

so...ok then!

I have a theory that the slavish obedience many people have for the IQ test as THE ONE test of intelligence is because these people once did well on the IQ test so OF COURSE it proves how smart you are...
CoinTracker (YC W18) is hiring to make financial management better

So, this is cynical but I actually look for some of these red flags specifically. For me they are not red flags. For me they are green flags.

Not enough clarity about your role - Consistent lack of interest or low morale from interviewers - Perfect , the less enthusiasm the better. Your interviewers aren’t prepared for the interview - Oh yeah, love those ones. Lack of a clear direction on where the company is headed - One of the best flags for me.

The reason I go for these companies is because I get to slack off and no one does anything about it. Especially now with wfh being the norm.

This strategy worked for me for close to 4 years. The last job I put actual effort in was around 2017. There are weeks on end where I just go to the morning standup, say I am working on it and for the rest of the day I play computer games or watch shows or go out dates. Sometimes, I just move jira tickets through the columns without even looking at them. No one checks, no one measures, no one seems to care.

If you want to grow in terms of skills, yeah, those are red flags to avoid. If you want to chill and bill, go for those sorts of companies. Big corporate, preferably non tech, preferably somewhere with a big churn rate so you can have the excuse of the original author no being there anymore.

Stockholm was my first love at first sight. I moved here in 2006 after a particularly long and cold winter. The day I arrived, it was a bright blue sunny sky, with a temperature just around freezing. I walked around these incredibly beautiful snow covered islands and over the frozen lake mälaren. I almost crossed over the ice between the islands of södermalm to kungsholmen, about 300 meters or so, but I chickened-out about half way through and turned back. I could have made it. There were fresh tracks from other people who had made it across that I was following. I’ve never seen the lake in kind condition since - Just one of the small regrets in life.

I work in IT and Stockholm has been fantastic for my career. The Scandinavian countries are well-known for their advanced digitalization. Being a foreigner with a particularly non-Swedish approach to problem solving has helped me a great deal.

I grew up in Australia but I’ve also lived and worked in London, Copenhagen and Singapore. One of the things I learned after living in as many places as I have, is that it’s as personal as your taste in music, or food, or anything else.

Stockholm and Sweden is not without it’s problems though. Immigration is screwed up, taxes are high, and there are parts of the city I avoid. But no where is perfect. I know the problems here and I prefer them to the problems I’ve had living in other places.
There's practically no visible crime in Poland. The worst you're going to get in the shittiest districts of shittiest cities (we're talking places where you can get a studio in city center for $10000) is potentially some obnoxious drunks for neighbors. No one is going to break in into your car or mug you on the streets.
> Even a polite response from HR like, "Sally really enjoyed talking to you but she's unexpectedly tied up in something" can be market-moving information if you find Sally's role on LinkedIn and tie it to recent news about the company.

So a candidate being ghosted can also be market moving because it means the same thing.

Just have HR stall a bit, maybe you're finishing the round of interviews for other candidates or something, it's not that hard.

There was an economist who was walking down the street with a friend.

The friend stops and says, "Look, there is a $20 bill on the ground!"

The economist turns and coolly replies, "Can't be. If there was a $20 bill on the ground, somebody would have already picked it up."

If they are authenticated to their ledger account then simple possession of the token in the account is sufficient verification.

The use case I considered was a client for trading on XRPL. For an application like this they are going to be signing transactions to interact with the ledger. If they are able to sign and own a license token in their ledger account then they are the valid user.

I don't think Paul Graham writes for a "technical" audience only and am fairly certain he would dispute that claim.

I'm also fairly certain that the type of writing he's talking about is mostly non-fiction prose, such as the essays he writes himself (even though he doesn't state that explicitly). Would you consider those "technical" writing?
I’m curious, what’s his claim? Used your software, something happened making lose data or anything like that?
This is my main beef with crypto and why I've decided to not "invest"/"gamble" on it. I get that you could have made a lot of money, but I just fundamentally disagree with it. It's refreshing to hear others reinforce my opinions.

It's the opposite problem where I live. With DST the sun does not rise until 8 AM.

In fact, in January, the sun rises here at 7:40 AM Standard Time. Which would be 8:40 AM Daylight Time.

It would be terrible to have to wake up an hour before sunrise.
Odd not to mention reduction in state funding for the state schools; it's been a big driver in tuition costs in California at least.

https://www.ppic.org/publication/higher-education-funding-in...

"Higher education spending accounted for 18% of the state budget in 1976–77, but by 2016–17 higher education funding had fallen to 12% of the budget. These funding cuts have been felt most strongly at the University of California, where funding per full-time-equivalent student fell from slightly more than $23,000 to about $8,000. CSU funding per student has also fallen by about 25% since 1976–77 from slightly more than $11,000 per student to slightly less than $9,000."

...which accounts for ~$15k in tuition increases straightaway.

We should also bring out the guillotines for the ever-expanding MBA admin bloat at the universities. Eliminating admin cronyism is probably one of the best cost savings available at the UCs, at least. This report sez the UC is at ~$4k per student in admin costs, which seems kinda crazy:

I identify with this. I'm ready to move on to the next step but there doesn't seem to be a position that fits my experience level. "Senior" seems like a relative distinction based on the company. I'm ready to land at a place that takes engineering practices more seriously but those companies don't think I have enough experience with those practices - for instance, I've never worked at a company that even cares about unit testing, now I need to be very experienced at it. I know how to do unit testing of course but it's not my sharpest skill for obvious reasons. I'm focusing on these weaker skills but it's definitely a challenge.
The colder temps worked out for me. AT&T has a research business center next to my home and when the temperature is above 45 degrees they turn on a chiller unit to keep their servers cool. It blasts over 45 DB (I sometimes go over 50 decibels) into my house all night as long as long as the temperature is over 45 degrees. With the colder temps outside, I've been able to sleep in my room. When the warmer weather hits I'm not able to sleep in my own room at night. My entire house is filled with an extremely torturous tone that will drive you insane. ATT won't do anything about it even though licensed professionals show they are above the city code allowed noise levels at night.

fwiw this is plain wrong, a garbage collected language in general is memory safe, just with a different scheme (a garbage collector) than rust's memory model. Both are better options from one that is unmanaged.

I hate to attract negative attention from rust fanboys. But none likes Rust's borrow checker and hopefully language developers can come up with a better design.
