Speculative. Game items, land registries and deeds are a solved problem. If your jurisdiction/company hasn't solved them already with Postgres and hardcopy it's because it's not interested in solving it or it's not a real problem, just a minor annoyance.

Just like emojis can't transmit all the subtle nuances that words can, a textual interface is much more nuanced than a graphic shell.

In practical terms, a graphic shell can only give you what the shell's programmer has envisaged is possible, and has given you a menu to include those specific things.

That can't cover every single imaginable eventuality. If you don't believe that, try making a menu on paper that covers everything possible that a textual shell can do.
Ask HN: How is engineering work being organized in your organization?
We are an engineer team of 10 people working in a startup.

Up to now, we organized our work in iterations of 2 weeks.

Before each iteration starts:

1. Product team will assign stories for the next iteration.
2. Engineering team leads will break down stories into technical tasks.
3. After technical tasks have been created, we use [planning poker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planning_poker) to assign points to each development task.

For the most part, this works fine. However, we have a few emerging problems:

* Breaking down stories into technical tasks is taking a long-time. Team lead will spend about 16 hours.
* Once broken down, tasks do not necessarily align with what actually needs to be developed, i.e. as developers start working, they realize more optimal ways to break down tasks.
* As a startup, we have a lot of tasks that are added mid-iteration. This scope creep accounts anywhere from 10-30% of each iteration.

As a result, engineers proposed that we abandon iterations and story points in general.

* All stories would be organized in a single priority list.
* Development tasks would be created ad-hoc to match what is being developed.
* We would stop tracking engineer velocity using story points.

My hesitation with this proposal is that without knowing team's velocity, we cannot plan when features will be completed.

I am curious to know how engineering work is organized in your organization, if there are similarities to how we organize / consider organizing work, and pros / cons you have observed.
If I disagree with TOS but still want to play the game, can I sue the company?
Hi friends.

Let's say there is a p2w mobile game that I want to play, but they charge a hefty premium (about 18% more than avg spot price of past 4 months) on foreign currencies, while at the same time they keep prices in certain countries artifically lower than others. When I asked CS if I can pay USD instead, they said it's against TOS (which is true) so it's against the law.

Is there any way to go around this? That is, legally speaking (I'm from Canada), can I sue them for charging the premium. Or the only choice is to just STFU and stop playing? On the other hand, if I managed to pay with USD, but they find out and discontinue my account, is it possible to sue them and get my acc back?

I want to take the offensive to their side, if that's possible. Thank you!

I think European unions work a little differently in practise than American ones. American unions seem exclusively a tool for collective bargaining. European unions seem more directly an outgrowth of the guild system, which was also concerned with preserving standards and best practises.

I'm not going to name companies, but I think this is actually not quite right. While I agree with your broader point, in a lot of larger legacy companies the heavy use of buybacks to buoy the stock price, which in turn benefits executing compensation, directly plays into whether that cash is available to use for employee compensation.
Coincidentally, AWS hasn't open-sourced anything that they use internally. Zilch. Nada. And yet they are using 'open source' developed by another firm (smaller is inconsequential here) to market themselves.

IMO, FOSS licensing is completely broken. Its definitions (of what is free/open) are from a boomer's era that is no longer sustainable. At least I wouldn’t want any of my FOSS projects become “corporate strategy” of any particular proto-nation.

BTW I know that the point price is not exactly the best indicator for over-charging your customer, but the fact that the premium is large + they keep prices low for certain countries + it's a f**ing P2W game makes me sick.

Now definitely I can stop paying, but I'd like to let other players to know that too.
No, I just mean the actual tests might be something like:

if (user == null) return false;
if (IsCompleted(user)) return true;
if (action == null) return false;
if (value < 0 || value > 100) return false;

You're not usually just passing a single value to a bunch of "test" functions.

Indeed, and this may already be ongoing. Programmers find a handful of vulnerabilities in core Bitcoin software every year [0], and there is no way for us to know if those bugs were planted intentionally. Some of these bugs caused the supply inflation to be wildly different than what is claimed (so much for "there can only less than 21mm coins"). We also don't know what bugs currently exist in the software that are or will be exploited. We also don't know if any of the core contributors and influencers in the project actually work for the CIA/NSA/PRC/etc.

Loops in IP routing are a pretty well researched topic and AFAIK practices to avoid them are on most network professional cerficiation exams. Microloops during convergence are even an active topic of research.

Also, just to be clear, a loop can only bring down systems involved in it, you can't use it as a "packet accelerator". (Unless something is seriously borked, or you have a multicast loop.)
Wow, I had no idea the Oberon implementation was so small, thanks. And it looks like it's implemented in a similar way, with parsing and code generation mingled together. It is ~2900 lines of code, though it's very dense. You can see it here: http://www.projectoberon.com/

Right, that's exactly what I said. Honor as a concept is used to manipulate people, and making a lot of money often involves doing dishonorable things.
The possibility of cryptocurrencies being banned in the U.S. is probably greater than what many people realize, especially those current holders. At least an attempted ban not unlike what happened in India.

While the whole "illicit transaction" argument is bullshit, Yellen and other Treasury officials probably realize that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin could pose an existential threat to the U.S. dollar and needs to be snuffed out early. Companies like Microstrategy and Tesla have already began using them as substitutes for U.S. treasuries. Together with the decline of oil dependency and the petrodollar, a day will come when the de facto currency is no longer the U.S. dollar and with it goes the world currency status. Yellen's department, the U.S. Treasury, would become a minor department and a shadow of its current self.

An apt analogy could be the U.S. government is like Nokia in the early days of the iPhone.

That said, a U.S. ban may actually unintentionally lead to greater adoption as it effectively means cryptocurrencies withstood and prevailed an attack by the world's foremost national power.
There you go again. Attacking the person rather than the argument being made. Now I process everything through a lens of fear and threat.

Never mind that I have lived the issues I speak of. I have been in manufacturing in the US for over thirty years. I have far more examples than what I have posted here. My family has been in manufacturing for at least two generations, on both sides, both my father and my mother were in manufacturing and my grandparents, on both sides, were in manufacturing, in at least two continents. The industries my family was exposed to spanned textiles, clothing, hard good, pharmaceuticals, consumer and industrial products/electronics and aerospace.

Never mind that during this time I have worked with an associated with other manufacturers in all kinds of industries, not just mine. No. Never mind any of that.

Never mind that I hear these cries from other manufacturers. A good friend of mine has a 100,000 square foot contract manufacturing facility in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles. He has been in manufacturing for a decade more than I have. He used to manufacture the entire line of Hewlett Packard servers and, if I remember correctly, quite a few of their higher end workstation products. He is also yelling at the top of his lungs at what has been going on and just-about ready to give up, shrink down to a small office and make everything he is manufacturing today in China.

Never mind any of that.

I'm just a guy quoting stupid books and looking at the world through a lens of fear and threat.

Sure. No problem. Go with that if it makes you happy.

I should remind myself that most people have never held these cats by the tail. They can't possibly know or understand that reality. There's almost only one way to understand it, and that is to grab onto that tail and go for that ride.
The Changelog 436: Curl is a full-time job (and turns 23)
I'm not trying to be snobbish here, but what on earth is up with the formatting of this post? Plenty of people post here that aren't native English speakers, nothing wrong with that, but the grammar and spelling mistakes aren't consistent with someone who's simply not fluent. They look a lot more like someone who's deliberately trying to appear "unsophisticated" to blend in (a poor strategy on HN, but a pretty effective one on most social media). OP can't even decide whether a comma should have:

1. A space on the right
2. A space on the left AND right
3. No space at all.

They do seem to have decided that commas, are really great ,and should be, used as much as possible even , if they make no sense at all.

Combine this with the fact that OP's account is 4 hours old (created to post this thread) and the suspect flavor of the post (a self post, devoid of links, high in vague political controversy and low in any thoughtful or interesting content (the core of any good HN post)) and I call shenanigans. This is an inorganic attempt at shit-stirring.

If they haven’t paid whatever tax is due, then the relevant national tax body should throw the book at them.

But I suspect you’ll find their tax lawyers & accountants ensure they’re in full compliance with relevant local laws. Cases like [1] come to mind.

Personal experience is that AWS elasticsearch has often been missing some really useful stuff, index rebalancing, some of the utility endpoints that avoid me having to spend forever rebuilding indexes, etc. I'd be a little spooked to run something really huge and customer-facing (maybe it's possible and I'm a n00b, but for the money we pay, it should be n00b friendly).

It's always great (really, it was quite easy to get started and usually works) until it's not (a couple times have had indexes break, or had to reindex to a fresh cluster to fix balancing problems).

I'm sure LOTS of people use aws elasticsearch for big, user-facing stuff, but I often feel you'd be better off managing it yourself if it were truly critical.
Not sure what you mean, but all billionaires would either be CCP, or under their close direction. Companies over 50 employees have an on-premise staff CCP cell, and Xi is reversing the relative operating independence of existing companies.

The more money you have in China, the more scrutiny you will get at some point. Then you disappear for 3 months like Jack Ma.

It's rumored that each of the Top 100 CCP officials has $2 billion. Pretty impressive savings on a $22,000 annual salary, isn't it?

If there’s an unhandled exception (or even a log message) in your JavaScript, you can click on it in the console and go straight to the source line, set a breakpoint and reload or re-trigger the code, and now you’ve got a fully interactive “stack trace” where you can inspect the values of local variables at all levels of the stack. Or you can set the debugger to automatically break on exceptions, or even to break on events or DOM modifications.

I also can’t stress enough how nice it is to have the debugger integrated into the runtime environment as opposed to an auxiliary debugger like GDB. No need to launch the debugger after my code breaks because it’s already there.

I think web technology has come a long way in the past few years, but a lot of people still seem to hold a grudge against it that I can only imagine they developed in the days of “jQuery all the things”. Are there still problems? Massively yes, but what ecosystem is perfect? I think if you don’t have much recent experience, it can’t hurt to try these things again with an open mind and see if your opinions still hold. I personally don’t have any experience with C# to be able to compare the debugging experience, but compared to Go or C/C++ I think it is massively better.

I think with a good setup including a LSP server for your editor, a good linter, and a type checker, frontend development is actually one of the more enjoyable ways to write code.

Tangential, but the only feature I really miss from browser debuggers is time travel debugging. Mozilla was working on implementing this in the Firefox DevTools as “WebReplay” [0] but it was spun out as a separate project called Replay.io [1] and I haven’t heard much about it since then.

Edward Snowden revealed that Apple has been part of the PRISM electronic surveillance program since 2012.

I would agree that Apple is significantly better on user privacy than Google or Facebook but that does not mean that the NSA isn’t sucking up all your data from Apple Maps.

Claiming that Apple isn’t “telling Big Brother about me” is at best naive and at worst dangerous misinformation that could put activists and whistleblowers at risk of having their location data harvested by the US war machine.
The MinutePhysics video you linked seemed pretty firm in saying we had no clear path to reducing the energy input required to create muons or increasing the energy output of the fusion, thus never generating net energy.

I stand corrected. I've never heard anyone consider it insensitive, but if so, the name is that much worse.
I suspect that might be at least partially because, in some cases or for some people, getting out of a deep depression might involve kind of disowning or denying the kinds of emotional states and thinking that were part of the depression. If the depression was hard enough, it could be that one doesn't want to feel them again, and genuinely understanding a feeling requires feeling it at least in some way.

This is just a hunch, based on personal observations, not any kind of psychological theory.

Exactly. Doing this would 'dilute' her and the "new new taylor version" would be next to worthless
>A major boom takes more than just stimulus from the government, otherwise, they'd just constantly be printing money.

I disagree. Massive, massive investment in beneficial projects is what causes booms. The last great booms we saw in the States were both the result of massive public investment during and after World War II. This gave us large scale American industrial manufacturing boom of the 40s/50s/60s, and the research funded in 60s/70s/80s, would go on to produce Silicon Valley in the 90s and 2000s.

Its helpful to think about where money comes from. And what can be done with it. Private firms ripping off consumers doesn't generate anything at scale. Massive public investment, historically speaking, does.
Computer Science and Computer Engineering are two different things. Is there any reason that quantum computing wouldn't be defined to include both the physical and theoretical computing?
There's no such thing as a duplicate packet. Older protocols may very well send keepalives as a (UDP) packet that repeatedly has the same contents. Removing/dropping such packets is not something a router is "allowed" to do.

Also, apart from that, all but the smallest routers do not look at the actual data packets. They set up some rules for what they want (i.e. traffic addressed to them, routing protocols, some ICMP, etc.) and everything else never leaves the hardware forwarding pipe. Last I checked, a fat x86 box clocks in at a few 100Gb/s of software forwarding while hardware routers are breaking the 10Tb/s barrier easily.

[Ed. to add:]

Actually, if something further down behind your "deduplicating" router is overloaded/dropping packets, plain TCP will resend the lost packets with little to no changes. If the deduplication drops the retransmits, you've now broken plain current TCP ;). And having dropped packets & retransmits is a fundamental part of how TCP congestion control works (less so with ECN, but still.)
Not with Proxmox, no. You can use a PCIe-Sata card and pass that through if you have the slots available.
