I don't think it's necessary to invoke 'corruption', just the same cognitive biases that plague everyone. Ioaniddis committed early (at least by March 2020) to the position that COVID is probably not that big a deal and everyone was likely overreacting. Once you do that it's hard to back down and natural to keep looking for evidence that you're right (and to try to discount evidence that you're wrong).

The EU has mandated that Tesla Superchargers support the industry standard CCS adaptors and support non-Tesla manufactured charging (so long as non-Tesla owners pay for the charge as appropriate, of course). There's currently no political pressure at all in the US to regulate Tesla Superchargers and the game of competing charging networks is only really just getting started.

My eldest teenager took about a day to learn how to pick these locks. It's just not that hard.
Hi, I'm Dan.

Location: San Francisco | Remote | No relocation
Technologies: node, react, vue, swift, python, mongo and open to learning more.
Résumé/CV: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BcGPFWgpamRXXBXXxMSXHxlrvKE6eH2I

WHY TO HIRE DAN:

Former founder, both iOS apps I've worked on were featured on the front page of the App Store globally, used by 300k+ people
3 yrs as a full stack product engineer and 2 yr managing engineers
Strong desire to level up as an engineer, and very receptive to feedback
My highest personal value is awareness, which extrapolates into every part of my personal and professional life - I'm a mindfulness nerd.

WHY NOT TO HIRE DAN:

You're looking for someone with strong systems design and architecture experience. Most of my experience is working within a pre-existing architecture (front and back end) and building front-end features and their corresponding end-points
I don't have experience working with an engineering team larger than 4 people
You don't have capacity to have a pair programming session once a week with me to help me level-up as an engineer
You're looking for a senior engineer
You expect the engineer to be highly proficient with SQL or GraphQL vs. learning on the job
You haven't raised a series-a yet (or on a strong trajectory to do so)
So in other words, people like that want to wait and see how it goes for all of the expendable people before they try it themselves, because they're the protagonist of reality.
Because that's how lotteries work in the US. Companies don't have to be behemoths to pay no tax on income. They just have to post no profits by spending all the money they make on opex and capex.
The United States is really only a political mess where capital holders and workers have opposing interests. Exploitation of other countries benefits both, at least from a myopic view, so the US can prepare and implement long-term plans to do so despite the frequent changes in regime.
Do you feel the same way about the explosion at Natanz?
I seem to remember the stake in Alibaba was worth a huge proportion of the valuation at the time. I didn’t know the deal fell apart because of that, I was just under the impression Yahoo’s board and Jerry didn’t want to sell to 2008 Microsoft.
They cost money. The less security features you put in the bigger the manufacturers cut.

edit: And there are a lot good lock companies producing quality locks. They just cost like $100 (and way more for doors. A quality abloy lockbody and the stuff on the frame is like $300+ without work) for a lock while a cheap one costs like $5. Though expensive does not mean good some are just scams so be careful/read up on what you are buying.

And still even these good ones are pickable just require hundreds or thousands of hours (and specialized tools) to become good enough to do it reliably instead of 5 minutes.

And for doors once you put a quality lock on it you need a skilled worker to properly install both the lock and the door. Look up some physical pen testing videos online how shitty installs the worlds is full of. Basically you can get in through so many doors with a small piece of scrap plastic.

Also once you get a really good lock a locksmith (or pretty much anyone for that matter) will not be able to pick it. So if you lose your keys it will have to be broken and then you are out your expensive $100+ lock.
Not quite. Per a secret audit carried out internally and smuggled out.
Not a linux command, but PowerShell (on linux) have a ConvertTo-Json cmdlet, it can parse dotnet object, so 'Get-ChildItem | ConvertTo-Json' will give you the output you want, but it is less successful with text so 'ls -alh | ConvertTo-Json' will give you an array and not distinct objects.
I don't think that's a fair comparison. It would be like if Amazon owned the entire mall, and would kick out competitors and establish their own stores once they become profitable.

Amazon is both a retailer in the sense that they sell products, but also owns the entire marketplace as well.
Isn’t that what Google was doing?
How does that enforce class invariants?
This is why I've never been okay with Third Party Doctrine and the logic that the Constitution is only normatively binding on the Government. If you are getting the functions of a government delegated to you. You become the government by tranitivity, and therefore should be bound by Constitutional due process concerns.

Without that realization, the right to due process and freedom from unreasonable search and seizure (warrantless surveillance) is just so much lip service. Even in the realm of National Security. Then again, every principle tends to get thrown out in pursuit of that turkey.

Carvana | Senior Software Engineer | Atlanta, GA + REMOTE (US) | Full Time

The Vehicle Experience (VEX) team has a couple of openings we're hiring for, both of which bring a lot of uniqueness compared to your standard backend positions.

VEX's software is responsible for most things "Photo" at Carvana. Our team is looking for engineers to work in a couple of domains:

* On our Photo Processing pipeline (there's a lot here!) You'd have the opportunity to work closely with our RND team on software that touches every photo displayed for a vehicle on carvana.com

* On our on-premise software that runs at Carvana's car processing facilities. Anyone with an interest and passion for embedded software would be a great fit and you'd get to work in a very unique domain at a very exciting scale.

Job posting is available at https://www.carvana.com/careers/apply?gh_jid=2536993 and on a personal note this is _genuinely_ my favorite job I've had and there's a huge amount of variety in these roles with a really great team so if you have any questions feel free to reach out to me directly at spencer.murray @ the same domain above
Truework | Software Engineer, Engineering Manager, Data Analyst | San Francisco, CA | Full time | Onsite | https://www.truework.com/careers/

Truework is hiring a product-oriented senior software engineer, and engineering manager (EM), and a data analyst to help overhaul employment and income verification in the United States.

Banks and background check providers often request employment and income data from your current and former employers to approve mortgages and loans or complete pre-employment screening. Your employer likely shares important details about your employment, including your title, job duration, and wages, with third party credit agencies to fulfill these requests. Unfortunately, this process is not transparent for employees and can be slow and error-prone for employers and verifiers.

Truework is building a modern, consent-driven employment and income verification platform to give employees visibility and control into how their employment information is shared with others. We are growing quickly and currently handle thousands of verifications every month, which has enabled the approval of billions of dollars in loans and helps employees in regulated professions (e.g. nursing) start work more quickly than before.

Our team is still small, which means you’ll play big a part in shaping the future of Truework, and your work will have a significant impact and visibility. We are a Django and React (Typescript) shop, and run our infrastructure on AWS.

If you’re interested or want to know more about working at Truework, send me a note at (my HN username)@truework.com.

I'm curious: do people expect mechanical locks such as these to continue being used in the future? 20 years? 50 years?

I'm kind of imagining that at some point, someone will "solve" locks, and create a physical equivalent of RSA. I expect that mechanical solutions will be too cost-prohibitive, so is the only route for progress through electronic lock systems? From a few videos on this channel, it looks pretty dire for those, but perhaps the incentive isn't there yet.
A general economic downturn would hit crypto harder than the real economy so you'd probably see >90% drawdowns.

A new bubble in a different area could also cause people to get bored with crypto.
Ask HN: How to get OpenAI access faster?
I submit the application form to OpenAI long ago and know they have thousands of applications. But after seeing https://www.flowrite.com/blog/how-we-got-access-to-gpt-3-in-5-days, I was wondering if anyone had any tips to get access faster? It would help out a boatload as I work on Hitsnag.com and making it more useful. :)
Fair enough. For me, self awareness is a prerequisite for responsible consumption of any substance that alters one's mental state. But it's not safe to assume that everyone practices self awareness. And you're right, a lot of people do not.
RunaHR | Tech Lead, Senior Developers | Remote Anywhere 4+ hrs within GMT-5 | Full-time | https://runahr.com/

Runa is on a mission to revamp payroll and HR in Latin America.

We are moving from our legacy Rails monolith to polyglot microservices on Node.js and .NET Core to build the next version of our SaaS product with API-first principles.

I am leading and hiring for the Platform and Tools group where we have two separate, autonomous teams focusing on Developer Experience (DevX) and Business Efficiency (BFF).

-----

Tech Lead:

We need a strong technical leader for DevX where we are building libraries, services, capabilities and tooling for our product engineers. Our most immediate challenges are in authz/authn, i18n, and event driven systems.

Experience with library and interface design, microservice communication patterns, API design, authn/authz, security and an uncompromising eye for best practices along with a passion to support other engineers will help you succeed in this role.

-----

Senior Developers:

We are also hiring frontend, backend and fullstack developers for both DevX and BFF.

At BFF, the main focus is our business. We are building tools, dashboards, integrations that our customer support, operations, marketing, product, sales teams leverage. We are also revamping our internal dashboard capabilities to allow any team at Runa build and deploy for our internal users.

You will succeed in these roles if you are comfortable working directly with stakeholders, exploring uncharted depths of legacy codebases, are not held back by unknowns.

The mixed messaging was because previous studies on influenza showed that the increased occurrence of touching one's face to adjust a mask outweighed the benefit of cloth masks. As covid-specific studies were done, it was found that masks were effective, and so the message changed.

I agree that the well was poisoned in the first quarter of 2020, but strongly disagree as to the cause of that. Donald Trump publicly, repeatedly, and strongly downplayed the severity of the pandemic. He dismissed masks as something that he himself wouldn't wear. He continually said that the pandemic was a hoax that would magically disappear. He made public safety measures into a political issue, and the Republican party allowed it to happen.
I think you can? The urls in package names are just urls. So if you have a url to a git repo, it'll work.
You can. If you have a `.git` in your import path, it should just work OOTB, using Git as expected. Otherwise, whatever code hosting service has to implement support for returning a proprietary meta tag when serving a ?go-get=1 query - and Gitlab already does that, IIRC.

I'd love if someone broke down _reasons_ for vaccine hesitancy. It seems like the strategies we should develop for addressing them would be different, and that there shouldn't be a one-size-fits-all strategy, as we're trying to do today.

So far, I personally have encountered the following viewpoints in my family and peer group (none of which I share) - in decreasing order of how much credence I'll give them:

1. I'm pregnant and don't know what it does to my baby.

2. I do not think the vaccine is safe, because we developed it too fast. Corollary: blood clots in two of them are my proof.

3. I agree the vaccine is safe and effective, but it was made with "aborted babies" [actually: stem cell lines, as are many vaccines that I'm sure they _have_ taken], and I will not take it on religious grounds.

4. I will not take the vaccine on principle, as it constitutes government overreach into our lives. It is irrelevant whether it is safe or effective.

That's not to speak of some of the other egregious ones I've heard that people believe, like the vaccine having an ICE tracker embedded in it to enable roundups (https://www.boston25news.com/news/health/local-leaders-vacci...).

Given that all of the communication I've seen has centered around safety and effectiveness, it seems like two out of these four cases are not being addressed.
No, it was snuck in with Java updates (or maybe Flash?). Unless you spotted the correct checked-by-default option.
As an aside, blocking AMP with uBlock origin and using this userscript removes it entirely, including the annoying delay:

Yeah, I am in a similar boat. WSL 2 with Docker build environments gives me faster build times than my Mac. My default Windows Terminal is a Linux prompt with Zsh. It works surprisingly well. I built a Windows gaming rig and then wondered, “hmmm-this thing is fast. Can I work on it too?” And was delighted that our tool chain didn’t need any tweaking.
How much longer do these people need to wait? Tens (if not hundreds) of millions of people have now received the vaccine.

It's more likely that they'll never get it because later on they'll think "well, I've gone this long without getting it and I've been fine, why get it now?"

Mass downvoting going on for some reason. It's not an education issue IMO, it's an ideological issue that--as others have pointed out-- has been weaponized in the form of profits (pharma) or politics (government, business)
