Muni broadband is a terrible idea on its own. You essentially lock in the present SOTA as nearly all future state since few munis will upgrade and almost all will, instead, add blockers to competing better services. Munis also have poor expertise in comparison to private ISPs.

However, even given all this it is obvious why muni broadband is a good idea. Currently, even low-disruption cheap services like Sonic's microtrenching are blocked in municipalities where wealthier people (who already have broadband) and their children (who performatively hate "capitalism" or "the wealthy" - defined by adding another 9 to whatever percentile they're currently in) oppose private ISPs adding service to everyone.

This means that the best way to connect the rest of America is to offer some means that satisfies the political angle of 'socialism'. This will be good for the Googles and Netflixes and bad for private ISPs unless munis decide to outsource the actual rollout and operation to them.

So, on the whole, I'm pro-muni-broadband and I hope we will find some way to combat the ossification that will result from this.

If I need to change a type thats passed to a function that already exists and is heavily used, I would either cast the old type to the new type so both work, or create a new function. If I really cared about cleaning it up I would add a deprecation warning when its done the old way.
Also if you call 911, the SOS contacts are also notified.

I think there is too much focus on child molestation. When this happens it’s terrible and should of course be stopped. But I think the bigger problem, which is arguably worse because it can last so much longer, is child exploitation.

Is it easier for an exploited child to escape the exploitation in a world with encryption, or a world without encryption?

It’s not an easy question to answer.
I've had struggles too. I'm now in a much better place.

I get the impression it is common for technically oriented people to think of salespeople, marketers, and recruiters as manipulative.

In your view, what are some ways you think about the difference between persuasion and manipulation?

I've been reading about this very topic in the context of media persuasion.
These don't contradict each other at all, unless you don't understand the fundamental idea of a team or organization.

Let's say I have ten people with experience A. I add an 11th person with experience A. My team still just has experience A.

I have ten people with experience A, and I add an 11th person with experience B. Now my team has experiences A & B.

Breadth of knowledge and perspective is the heart of innovation. Adding a wider variety of experiences to an organization improves its ability to solve problems.

Now, this is so obvious, I'm left wondering why you're so desperate to maintain the illusion that women are inferior in some way?
Even without these changes, Washington state's utilities and governments have already been able to sell Internet service, but mostly only on a wholesale basis - they can advertise, but only to direct you to third-party reseller ISPs.

In rural central Washington, several county electric utility government districts already offer gigabit to the home through their resellers (Chelan, Douglas, Grant among them). From my understanding, that infrastructure and the cheap hydro power attracted Microsoft to build multiple cloud data centers in Quincy, Grant County.
Some would argue Teksavvy exists despite the CRTC.
> Muni broadband is a terrible idea.

Tell that to the people on gigabit GPON in Grant, Douglas, Chelan, Benton and other counties in WA state right now. The county PUD electrical grid operator builds the fiber and splitters, and sells L2 transport services to independent ISPs. The ISPs do the layer 3 IP part, customer support, billing, etc. It works great.

Do you know why those counties built their last mile fiber networks? Because the incumbent telco (centurylink or frontier, for the most part) and cable (comcast or charter) private entities in the same service territory were showing no signs of building anything better than 20 Mbps down x 2.5 Mbps up.

A lot of contract clauses have been found void and unenforceable. Same could (and should) happen to many HOA covenants. The fact that you are unable to buy housing in many zip codes without HOA, and there are even some states (ie Texas) where you can be forced into an HOA (even if you own the house clear of one) is just insane.
Even still, people buy houses without looking at internet
options then are surprised post-close when all they can get is 25mbps satellite internet. Property values aren't materially affected by internet access.
My take was always that money is a medium of exchange. A mechanism by which you can buy or sell things.

Wealth is something that people want. Lawnmowers or a movie stream.

One consequence of this distinction is that if money fails as a medium of exchange (eg everyone loses confidence in the dollar) then those dollars are now useless. But no wealth has been destroyed.

So I conclude money is not a store of wealth.

Your terminology here says a lot, right?

If you are going to a meetup to meet people, then the whole point is to get to know people. And yes, that will involve them knowing your name, and communicating with you.

To open up your job prospects: realize this is normal and desirable.
Where are you getting those prices from? If it's the Apple Store, which country's Apple store and original currency values are being used?
"The LC, short for “low cost,” was designed to get the Mac into more homes than ever before. The Macintosh II line ran circles around it, but it was how many people experienced the Macintosh for the first time."

I believe the chime sound listed under this category was also played by the Mac Centris 610 which our family owned. The Centris 610 had a Motorola 68040 chip that definitely ran circles around the Macintosh II. Although I might be getting my wires crossed because we also owned a Macintosh LC at one point that I used once in a while.
Quite the opposite. As a niche becomes saturated with competition, user acquisition costs rise to approach the level of the highest margin player. If you want to have a sustainable business it behooves you to have better optimized margins than the competition.
I don't have much experience but that begs me the question, how bad were the SWEs you were working with that had even poorer communication tone than this person.
I’m not entirely sure, but I don’t think it would be particularly different — if I understand correctly, the only major difference between the two orthographies is that Sanskrit texts use some extra letters.
20 percent of the programmers get 80 percent of the jobs. You don't have an Ivy League nor any degree at all. You don't have any experience working at a FAANG or a startup with name recognition. You have clearly have low self esteem, which is a red flag in interviews. There are enough people with none of these issues to fill every job in Silicon Valley.

You are losing the game you are trying to play, so try playing a different one. You could play the making enough to support yourself game. After you get good at that you can play the start your own business game, or the make websites for friends and locals game.

Your ego is getting in the way of you feeding yourself and putting a roof over your head. It's not worth it. I can't think off the top of my head anything that is.

There is no shame in not fitting into Silicon Valley. Consider moving on.
Wesnoth! Yes, Battle for Wesnoth is worth a look; it’s been around awhile, runs on Linux, has additional community input for the maps/modules/art/?, and doesn’t have the slot-machine quality that Blizzard has polished in its games...

Hearthstone is indeed great, and I fell too hard; while it got me of World of Warcraft and replaced nostalgia for Magic: the Gathering, the daily-quest nature of the game had me by the brainstem for years. I’ve since sworn off Blizzard games, but I understand others may be better-able to find balance.

To scratch the cardgame itch I like Pinochle, Canasta, Euchre, and others.
Sounds like you have Aspergers or something like that. At most. But you probably were handicapped by homeschooling, unless you were homeschooled because of these social issues.

Obviously it’s not your technical qualifications but something in the way you approach people in interviews. The fact that you say you had to read how to talk to people at a party and couldn’t figure out how to diverge from doing exactly what you read over and over is what tipped me off to think you may be weirding people out.

Honestly, if you were to say “hey I know I have some weirdness but I have the best intentions”... I personally would appreciate that. The first step is acknowledging that and trying to convince the people you’ll work with that it won’t get in the way.

Also in the future, don’t quit a job if you don’t have a backup just because you wanted to get paid more.
I'm surprised at the tune of HN about advocating towards higher quality audio input tech.

If anything, we should be actively fighting this trend and instead focus on training ourselves to listen carefully rather than relying on 'good audio' to hear a message.

I think you fail to understand corporate culture. Going around bosses because you found a vuln is not conducive to the corporate environment. they frown on stuff like that. Id suggest you learn to play by the rules or start your own thing. The thing with corporate culture is that it isn't hacker culture. I think you fail to realize that and it has been your undoing. Cheers bud.
> This is mostly a fight between Google/Netflix

google/netflix really doesn't care how the residential customers' IP traffic, in aggregate, gets to the nearest major city's IX point. They're equally happy to peer with things like centurylink's GPON network. Gigantic content sources will peer and offer caching appliances (netflix) to any ISP with a sufficient volume of downstream eyeball traffic.

You're trying to write it as if google/netflix and similar have some nefarious plan to interfere in various cities' last mile fiber networks, which is not the case at all.
I've been a FAANG hiring manager and those rules were not rigidly enforced. There are other deterrents, however. As a younger manager I was keen to respond to such requests, but a significant proportion of unsuccessful candidates would then argue, sometimes quite vehemently, about the validity of the feedback. This curtailed my enthusiasm, and I've been rather selective since.
No, it’s just that it’s not fun to learn.
If there is no financial insetive in the future it's because we don't need top soil in the corn belt and we saved ourselves and he cost of dealing with this problem which ended up being irrelevant.
I hope PC game developers start thinking about optimizing for existing and last-gen hardware instead of just assuming their games will run better on next year's hardware. So many potential new PC gamers will be turned off of PC gaming forever over a short term spike in demand/profit from miners who will abandon gpus altogether as soon as theyre no longer economically viable.
I’m sure Seattle will try to do this, even though I wish they wouldn’t.

Seattle’s utility companies, owned by the city, are poorly managed and keep having budget shortfalls despite charging very high rates for services. Electricity costs, for example, are growing at several multiples of inflation. Despite having more access to fresh water than just about any US city not on the Great Lakes, our water and sewage rates are higher than desert cities like Vegas and LA.

Who knows where all the money goes? I know one individual personally that was paid a six-figure salary by the electric utility to study how the utility grid was systemically racist. Best I can tell he wrote some emails and made a few presentations and that’s about it. We also have one of the most expensive sewage treatment plants on Earth, which has a museum and wedding / event space for some reason. We spent more on that than Dubai spent on the Burj Khalifa. Maybe that’s why there’s a budget shortfall.
Unlike this blog post which mentions the hard stop at 5 projects at the top, the "Changes to your Todoist plan" email talks about all the new features you have in the first 2 paragraphs and then 10 bullet points before getting to the new project limit, burying it below the fold.

If you use projects as folders like me for things like Groceries, Pharmacy, etc in addition to a couple work projects, you'll likely want to find a new home for your shared checklists. Google Keep is a decent option.

The criticism linked in those articles was there wasn’t enough stimulus. She passed the massive stimulus bill of the HEROES Act that the Republicans senate refused to even put up for a vote. She never changes her opinion on more stimulus. She was never against stimulus. She criticized a particular Trump White House plan as not having enough stimulus; a Trump plan that Senate Republicans were against.

Do you have a direct quote from her that says she doesn’t want stimulus compared to the avalanche of quotes supporting more stimulus?

Yeah but that open source rarely leads to a job. Yes, many here on HN and open-source may have achieved that but it is extremely rare.

I don't think this person will be able to do consulting considering the actions they have done while interacting with managers, directors, executives.
Mm mm love my steak
For amazon, the move it not to apply formally through the internal jobs site. Clicking apply will notify your manager instantly.

So the accepted practice is to connect directly with the HM for a chat/pre-interview and once they say they are inclined (barring unexpected info), click apply. This is fairly common and expected.
Are you? That's a strange response.
Your question is a non sequitur.

Fiber is a perfect service for a municipal government to provide. It's a tiny cable going into your house. Much lighter and easier to handle than water, electric, or sewer. Once it's in, it has more capacity than we will be able to use for a very long time.

That's not what insider trading is. Insider trading is specifically using non-public information about a company to make investment decisions.

Technical analysis generally uses only publicly available information; it's finding patterns in those publicly available data that can help you make investment decisions.

I'm not saying it's socially useful; just that it is distinct from insider trading.
Thanks, dude. Yeah I was hesitant if I should've accepted the CS offer. I was planning to transfer internally to a SecEng/Analyst/SDE 1 role. It might've been possible. I tried applying internally, but my applications would just turn in to no longer considered after a while. ytcracker works at Amazon.

I sent you an email to take you up on your mock interview offer.
I submit that this would kind of help stop the "sit in the same position until death" problem.
It's interesting how focused you are on proving yourself right (I'll send you a college email etc).

And that seems to be the case with going over your bosses head ("I went above my bosses head because they did not remedy the issue, and weren't going to.")

Being right is great! But having a job is also great. Perhaps focus less on proving yourself right, and more on getting along with people?

Edit: reading further in the thread it sounds like you went over your bosses head 2 weeks into a job? That's really not a great idea.

If this is essay is a representative sample of how you express yourself in general, then one recommendation is to improve your communication ability/style [1]. Stream-of-conscious may work in online chatrooms, but not in professional settings. In any team-oriented setting, clear and organized communication is non-negotiable. Your writing here signals intelligent, but manic, frantic, and maybe not a great communicator.

It sounds like you're a good technical writer when you need to be, based on your anecdote about writing up the problem with Amazon's anti-fraud system. But you need to be a good communicator in general, not just specifically to technical writing. However, if my overall impression here is inaccurate then feel free to ignore.

For example, up until the following line you were at least understandable, but this line was unclear:

>"Got referrals etc. dropped out my freshmen year at a top 40 college. Was on the cyber security team etc. too expensive so I had to dropout."

Are you saying you were on the cyber security team at your university, but it was too expensive so you had to drop out? If so, just say that in a sentence: "I was on the cyber security team at my top 40 university, but it was too expensive so I had to drop out." (also, did you apply for student loans? Most top 40 universities can put together a package of grants and loans to keep the folks they admitted). And referrals from who for what?

Also this:

>"Also was concerned about support reps being able to access any customer's data simply by pressing 'bypass' on the security question promt page. I couldn't transfer internally until a year later as well. Would ping your manager each time you apply as well. Have to delete your emails constantly due to only having 1gb email space. Assessment was similar to the one I took for CIA. Cognitive based assessment."

There are multiple concepts jumbled together here in a confusing stream of conscious. Separate each out into a sentence, simplify it as much as possible, and order the sentences according to some logical progression (chronological, causal, etc).

Busy people you're asking to employ you don't have the mental bandwidth to decipher your writing and communications, they're 150% preoccupied with more important things (to them). Make it as easy as possible for them to understand you, evaluate your request and the value in it to them, and say yes. "Don't Make Me Think" [2].

Any time you want something of value from someone, step outside of yourself, put yourself in their shoes, and think through what they need or want but don't have in their current position. Try to see the world completely from their PoV, imagine you are them. Figure out what they need, what is of most value to them right now, how to get it for them, and offer it in return for what you need. Get your clever hacker mind good at solving that kind of problem, and it will take you far.

> Most people don't

This is the crux of the issue. If you have $100 million and you can't think of a single worthwhile use for any of it besides making more money, that's either a literally unbelievable lack of imagination, or incredibly cruel. It is so, so easy to do a huge amount of good with that much money. It's not easy to figure out how to do the most amount of good possible, that's probably an unsolvable problem, but it's not necessary.

I understand that investing in the stock market is supporting the economy and increasing liquidity and potentially helping a company and that's all good, but it is laughably easy to think of something better, if you don't need to worry about a financial return.
AFAIK most of the loans in DeFi go to people who are leveraging their bets one way or another. So if speculation isn’t valuable, then perhaps many of these loans are also also not valuable under that criteria.
