In Norway, a "life" sentence used to be 21 years, with parole possible after 14. Now there is a stricter option that in theory can end up being actual life, but it requires extension by 5 years at a time after evaluation to determine if the prisoner is still an active threat to society, and it's rarely used.

US sentencing has always seemed absolutely crazy to me, to the point where if I through some magic found myself on a US jury I'd have a hard time justifying a vote to convict, and the sentences seem to be more about vengeance than about rehabilitation or making society safer.
And after all those warnings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1REkejAMnNo
> No, you absolutely do need to cram to get through the interviews

I just described a situation where that was not true, so I don't really know what you are responding to. If you are generally on top of problem solving, you don't need to "cram".

This generalizes - "cramming" has origins for formal courses, as a technique to try and pass an exam when you haven't actually done the work and don't understand the subject. It's a last-minute approach; might get you a pass but is hardly ideal.
If his example deterred one person from committing the same crime, taxpayers may come out ahead anyways.
Apart from the other reasons listed I’d guess to also make it look “farming” grade.

Indeed, Coinbase is so good that it doesn't look like a cryptocurrency exchange (despite the fact that it doesn't appeal to the more anarchic uses of crypto). Exchanges usually feel half-baked and there are tons of cases of security issues with the loss of customers' money.

Kudos to the team!

Related to that, it does seam than whenever Skoda the brand is about to surpass the models of its parent (German) company, Volkswagen, the powers that be decide that that behaviour should stop immediately.

The most recent example is the Mk2 Skoda Superb, which imho was miles ahead in terms of style above the Passat, and further back the Mk1 Skoda Octavia was also miles ahead in terms of reliability compared to anything that the VW brand had.

#2 is the biggest thing that helped me as I started out presenting earlier on in my career. Along with this, I'd add:

* Keep any slides simple. If you find yourself reading a complete sentence from a slide, you probably have too much text on the slide. The slides aren't there to tell you what to say, they're there to remind you the correct order in which you're organizing your thoughts. If you read from a slide, everyone will know that you're reading from a slide, and it looks silly and makes the crowd disengage. They'll just start reading the slides themselves and ignore you.

* Try to practice forcing yourself not to fill dead space with "um" or "uh". It feels awkward to silently pause for a thought, but you will sound smarter and more prepared if you pause than if you use a filler. It seems counterintuitive, but it works.
Well, unless you hold the opposite position where nothing is bullshit and everything is equally valuable, _somebody_ has to be able to decide.
>Joe Bigshot, former SVP at BigCo, was sentenced to 5 years in jail, and had to sell two of his nine houses to pay the $20M fine" is much better.

Well, they sort of do that in Russia. So the CEO/founder of almost any sketchy company is a homeless person that signed the paperwork in exchange for some free vodka. Didn't particularly solve the problem.

Corporate fines just need to be sufficient to make such "business" unprofitable. "BigCo fined for 5% of its market cap" would be quite a deterrent. Except, it won't be happening as long as the regulators are in bed with the big business they are supposed to regulate.
Valve is a dream job because of that philosophy. It's like the golden age of Bell Labs (which got us things like C and Unix...). "We're printing money. Let's get a bunch of smart people together and see what they come up with."

Valve has made enormous leaps in the quality of gaming on Linux. If they keep that up, I don't care if they never release or update another game ever again. They also designed the Index, which is probably the best VR headset on the market right now, and are engaged in VR research in general. HL Alyx (which I want to play, but don't have the hardware to do so yet) is basically a tech demo...and that's really what Valve has always done. They make tech demos that just happen to be full games that people like. The lack of a Half-Life game for so long speaks more about the lack of anything revolutionary in gaming for multiple decades.
> STFU with all of the moralizing

Parent is responding to accusations of "conservative prejudice." That is its own moralizing.

You can make the pragmatic argument that it's pointless to try to control the risky behaviors of others, or to expect the people engaged in those risky behaviors to bear the cost of them. But it's pretty insulting to then disparage others as "prejudiced" for not liking this deal, while having no criticism of the behavior itself. "People are going to do what they want" -- well maybe some people want to be upset about subsidizing behavior they don't approve of.
Does anyone with ADHD want to comment about audiobooks? I have moved 90% of my pleasure reading to audiobooks, since I can get through SO much more material during chores, driving, etc. I do zone out from time to time, so I'll have to rewind a couple minutes, but it's nbd, I'm there for pleasure. I'll even re-listen to a book a month later if it was great, and I find my retention is pretty great if I listen to a book a few times.

It's not a "psyops", YouTube, like every gigantic corporation is motivated entirely by money, and they would be happy to monetize every video on the site if they could, but advertisers pay the bills, and since advertisers are sensitive to their public image, YouTube goes out of their way to appease them. The problem here is the ad model, not AI or YouTube's values.
Its more than that.

Convincing my boss to buy a tool is one thing, even buying on an annual basis, but convincing them to subscribe to another service is completely different.

As I said, I have personally purchased the JetBrains All Product pack, and have worked places where they will buy it for developers. Charging rent for a tool like GitKraken is just crappy, but I guess thats the only way to make ongoing money for a tool that you struggle to add value to encourage upgrade purchases.

The US has been trying to reduce the usage of the USD as a reserve currency (it's the largest such currency but not the only one - EUR, GBP and JPY are also used) due to it not having any real benefit to the US while exposing its economy to the effects of financial crises around the world, which tend to lead to countries purchasing dollars and driving the price up which makes imports more expensive.

> A great deal of U.S. currency is held abroad, which amounts to an interest-free loan to the United States. However, the interest savings are probably on the order of $20 billion a year, a small fraction of a percent of U.S. GDP, and that “seigniorage,” as it is called, would probably still exist even if the dollar lost ground to other currencies...

> The safe haven aspect of the dollar is actually a negative for U.S. firms, since it implies that they become less competitive (the dollar is stronger) at precisely the times that global economic conditions are most difficult.
"Mozilla spokeswoman Ellen Canale said the company has no knowledge of any bug that was connected to the exploit."

Firefox OS phones didn't have Lightning ports, so it's not clear what code from Mozilla Apple would be using for that. It seems possible there was a mixup with some other MPL licensed software or the "NS" and "NSS" naming that both Mozilla and Apple use.

In my understanding, the mRNA platform can be used for any application where you want to temporarily express a protein in the body. In the case of these COVID vaccines, it's being used to express the coronavirus spike protein, but Moderna is already using this technology for HIV, flu and others[0]. I believe the applications beyond vaccines are many, too.

Hmmm. They’ll redefine it like when someone in the admin said the old definition of infrastructure needs to be redefined in order to accommodate their goals.

Just to be sure there's no miscommunication here, you believe it's alright to default on an agreement purely because the person you're doing business with is letting you finance it (at a steep discount and without interest of any kind) instead of demanding a lump sum?
Consequences.

The consequences for being a bad-actor are generally worse for a private individual or private organization.

Organizations have reputation concerns, individuals have legal and personal concerns.

The gov't? Not so much. The NSA, institutionalized spying, slow transition to a police-state... I don't get the feeling that these are much cause for reputational concern at the federal level.
I still prefer Binance who are exposed to users via actual crypto (BNB) than Coinbase who are trying to eat the trad investors exposure and banking on their preferential treatment from US regulators.

Not to mention that Binance has 9x the volume, much much more crypto and is pro-competition and lists Coin on day 1 while CB wouldn't even consider listing BNB or anything by competitors.

The JIT can elide array bound checks really often, and most "low hanging" optimizations are solved quite cleverly (it's way out of scope for my knowledge, but I remember reading that null checks are elided by trapping segfaults? Does it make sense?).
There is no over/underflow checks so I don't know what you mean by arithmetic checks -- in pure number crunching the JVM is insanely fast.

And you are right in that many Java libs/programs are quite happy to create garbage, though with generational GCs it is really cheap. Escape analysis is great, but primitive classes in Project Valhalla will solve this last problem of object locality.
So fix the social safety net, too big to fail is not something we want to have, especially when it comes to actively harmful companies...

I think perhaps this is a misrepresentation of the requirement (that exists even in places like Singapore) that one be skeptical by default of any claim made by the media.

Penalties for what the court system deems misinformation absolutely do not solve the problem: indeed they make it worse.

Economically, I absolutely agree and fortunately we have the power to do both. Plus Syphilis testing is very cheap, relative to most testing (about $20-$50 for early infections) and testing costs are only going down. Rapid testing is even cheaper, down to something like $5 per test.
You can still use the websites themselves instead of their shitty app-wrapper

Well, Binance is, somehow, dramatically more of a fly-by-night bucket shop intentionally looking the other way to people opening multiple accounts to avoid KYC -- and they won't event tell you in which country they're domiciled.

The mirrors frequently go offline from being blocked though, so it may be easier to rely on youtube-dl depending on how likely it is that you will be rate-limited.

You could of course also try and set up your own, private Invidious instance and see what mileage you get from that.
Building your own is a cool thing, and gives you many benefits. But updates and Linux are very prone to breakages - there’s too much hw and sw combinations to expect solid experience.

Ask HN: How can Boost Mobile have a 4-digit numeric password?
Boost Mobile has terrible security. The main password for accounts is a 4-digit numeric PIN – it must be 4 numbers. Behind that password is a lot of data: full name, date of birth, credit card information, phone number, etc.

I really can't believe it. It's so bad that it makes me wonder if it's intentional and nefarious.

But what are consumers to do? Complain on support forums for years? Isn't there some government body that regulates the security of companies who store such critical personal information?
Where are people escaping to? Are people publishing their own content on Gopher or BitTorrent nowadays? These platforms have a perfect balance of usability and freedom. They can take over the world.
One reason why some people communicate well in group settings is that they actively listen. I myself had a big breakthrough in acting when I learned not to think about my cue, but to get into the moment and actually listen to the other actors. It's amazing how the cues simply flow when you just listen.

Same with big meetings. We are internally preparing some remarks, and when we start talking and others interject, we go off the rails because we're not right there in the moment. It's a tough skill to develop when it doesn't come naturally, but it's powerful.
I don't see any mention of the other thing that would be a concern to me - don't ever be in a situation where any Google product is critical to you, because the behemoth may casually destroy you as a side effect.

What if instead of locking him for a week they'd canceled his account (and related accounts e.g. Gmail, plus linked accounts because 'bypassing ban')?

And you don't have to be doing something like discussing security - maybe you're talking about Pokémon Go and they ban you for "CP videos" or you posted a bunch of red or green emoji in livestream comments for a gamer. Goodbye email, sites logged into with a Google account, Android phones (because they KNOW that phone number is linked to your identity), etc.

And what are you going to do about it? Call customer service? snrk
Nicely done. Reminds me of an idea I think would be really cool, a site sort of like tiktok, but instead of focusing on original content, it focused on letting you find interesting video clips to pair with your own music. Sort of like how spotify has gifs now, except you could customize them for your own music and share them with others.
There's always going to be some line people are unwilling to cross. For instance, one might say Nazi rhetoric should be tolerated for its historical value, but I know zero advocates for allowing child porn.

But how about adult porn? Acceptable to some, not to others (also depends on the context - even advocates of adult videos are generally not arguing that YouTube should host them). And there are shades of that.

In the end, no matter how mature and accepting you are, unless you allow literally everything, you will need moderators who are empowered to be the final authority on that decision, which is what I mean by "dictatorship".
I've learned to speak confidently, but something I'm struggling with is having an opinion on the spot about something.

Something that really helps me is coming prepared (including asking for expected outcome of meeting and an agenda - it's not too much to ask for - beforehand) and making sure the meeting sticks to the agenda. By doing so, I can prepare beforehand with notes, and I also make sure that we stick to what I've prepped for. Hope this helps!

You're comparing apples and oranges. What works on the micro political level (Singapore) doesn't necessarily work at the macro political level (Canada). This is also why I can vote for Republicans in the state government and Democrats in the federal government and still sleep soundly every night.

How it works

This app works with webassembly files. These files are executed in a sandboxed environment (because uwp apps are sandboxed by default).

What's the story with WebAssembly and sockets/API calls?

I assume that WebAssembly prevents whatever it is running from opening sockets and making API calls...
