Mostly because by taking the high value packs, one leaves nothing for the other players/collectors (especially children, for whom boosters are the only potential source of rare cards, since they're unlikely to have the funds nor internet access to buy individual cards online).
The money one doesn't spend does not have value in a economical sense, since it is not participating in exchanges and doesn't affect supply and demand. Thus that money is not the same as the money that most of us earn and spend. The $10 in that billions does not equal to the $10 I earn and used it to buy that burger. But what if there is not enough burgers to go around?

If one owns as much money as 100 people, he can out bid the resource request of those 100 people. So when the critical resource is scarce, he controls those 100 people. The actual amount of money as in numbers is meaningless, subject to inflation and scarcity of the resource in question. Only the relative ratio is meaningful. If he has more money than 1 million people, he is more powerful than 1 million people. Of course the power only applies in the domain where free market is in dominance, and in America,and globally, that domain is quite large.

Yes, one can choose to refuse to yield to the power, it doesn't mean the power is not there. The powerful people can choose to not exercise their power, it doesn't mean the power is not there.
I've recently started using Notion and I'm surprised at few things that I find incredibly annoying with it so far. Since it seems there are some Notion staff here I'll take this as a change to give some feedback to hopefully improve the product.

* No read-only mode. I like to have documents default to a read-only mode so I don't accidentally typo random characters, or delete something when try copying. etc.

* No floating table of contents. There is a ToC block but it's at a fixed position, where it's not terribly usable especially for long documents having a giant ToC at the top isn't great. I've tried using columns but it just squishes the rest of the document way too much

* Floating heads. When you have multiple collaborators the avatars zooming up and down the left side of the document is incredibly distracting. I'd love a way to disable this completely. I don't care where in a document other people are reading.

* Database/Table horizontal scrollbar. Almost every database in our documents end up with this giant scrollbar that spans edge to edge, looking like a horizontal rule, breaking up the visual flow of the page significantly. I keep thinking it's some kind of page break.

These are just some of my initial impressions. I do think it's a very visually nice product and has a lot of neat features but I'm pretty surprised by some basic QoL stuff missing and hope to see it further refined.
I think part of the reason, maybe by design, is it took 7 years to be ruled illegal. I'm actually surprised it didn't take longer. A lot happens in 7 years.

Ah. Modern Times.
It looks like a mitigation might be that in the event you do not have the application installed, to return a "denied" status and send a prompt to the user like "Unknown application protocol".

Something like that could still would be susceptible to a timing attack though.
Burying that in the fine print though also means that non-vacinated people are less likely to find out that they can get a free donut, but the general public will think "shot = donut".
I actually regretted donating because of this very reason. If I’d thought about it I wouldn’t have. But the bethematch.org marketing material really tugged at the heartstrings. Never again, though.
Right, that's a much more likely explanation.
You win!

Much respect.
IIRC you had talked in the past about working on a not widely adopted tech stack?
Self-regulation doesn't.
On Chrome MacOS Big Sur, it doesn't require accepting the prompt, and the demo shows you can accomplish this in a small pop-under or pop-up, which a lot of inexperienced users might simply ignore.

Browser devs definitely still need to patch this vulnerability by making it an instant-return no-feedback prompt to open an application.
> would that be a bad thing per say?

Not in my opinion. In many European countries there's legislation when it comes to radio broadcasting or TV to play a certain amount of local content because international platforms have the habit of siphoning a lot of money out of local cultural production otherwise. It helps promote diversity in the arts. Particularly important for smaller countries who would go under when having to compete with the clickbait algorithms that are powered by hundreds of millions of largely English-speaking users.
> On April 10, 2019, Massie got in a tense exchange with former Secretary of State John Kerry during Kerry's testimony to the House Oversight and Reform Committee when Massie called Kerry's political science degree from Yale University a "pseudoscience degree" and called Kerry's position on climate change "pseudoscience." Kerry responded, "Are you serious? I mean this is really a serious happening here?"
It's not the company side that matters. It's that it's a lot easier for the criminals to pull a few tricks to obscure their side of things significantly. Bitcoin mixers/tumblers for example so that what comes out the other end can't easily be tracked back to the crime. I'd be extremely surprised if groups making these attacks didn't use that type of thing. If it was all bank wires etc. then law enforcement could track things mich more easily. Even if they couldn't find the hackers they could still freeze the accounts, rendering the attack worthless.

:(

Not actually Prometheus-compatible, sloppy code, spotty docs. I have no idea why this dumb product continues to attract users.

https://prometheus.io/blog/2021/05/04/prometheus-conformance...

> Telegraf, which is to metrics sort of what Logstash is to logs: a swiss-army knife tool that adapts arbitrary inputs to arbitrary output formats. We run Telegraf agents on our nodes to scrape local Prometheus sources, and Vicky scrapes Telegraf. Telegraf simplifies the networking for our metrics; it means Vicky (and our iptables rules) only need to know about one Prometheus endpoint per node.

Normally you just use a regular Prometheus server to do this. Why add another, different technology to the stack?

> We spent some time scaling it with Thanos, and Thanos was a lot, as far as ops hassle goes.

It really isn't -- assuming you're not trying to bend Prometheus into something it isn't. Prometheus works using a federated, pull-based architecture. It expects to be near the things it's monitoring, and expects you to build out a hierarchy of infrastructure, in layers, to handle larger scopes.

This is structurally different to what I'll call the "clustering" model of scale, where you have all your data sources pushing their data, aggregating maybe on the machine or datacenter level, but then shuttling everything to a single central place, which you scale vertically from the perspective of your users. This appears to be what you want to do, based on the prevalence of push-based tech in your stack.

Prometheus doesn't work this way. Some people really want it to work this way, and have even created entire product lines that make it look as if it works this way (Cortex, M3db) but it's fundamentally just not how it's designed to be used. If you try to make it work this way yourself, you'll certainly get frustrated.

The “toxic” part of the soil, perchlorates, are easy to process and remove.

There is no evidence that 1/3 Gee won’t be fine for humans to live in. NASA has already figured out how to have humans life in zero fee for long periods (low rep, high force exercises).

Mars had enough sunlight to power solar panels and grow plants.

Spinning space stations have their use as well, but have to import 100% of resources. Mars is lousy with water, CO2, and easily accessible elements such as Iron.
Yep, if you listen to the whole exchange and read through the lines, he's essentially saying to US leadership either we innovate and build with this or we let our main competitor take over.
Traditional car companies and traditional aerospace employ far more people, and those people are not dumb. Leadership matters.

I do agree that it isn't "single-handedly," but when I hear Elon speak he definitely does shout out to the team. I haven't heard him take 100% credit for these things.
That would be a stupid idea for the US government. They want to encourage crypto because they know it’s unbanable and if the US doesn’t control it then other countries will.
Ask HN: How do I get a FAANG job in security?
To be fully transparent, its the crazy high salaries that are attractive, particularly Facebook and Netflix.

I have ~6 years of total IT/Cloud experience, most of that in actual consulting (not House Of Lies consulting). I have a lot of experience with strategy, engineering, architecture, evangelism, etc. I consider myself to have both a technical understanding of security and a very deep managerial/non-technical understanding.

I am currently making a little over 200k/yr + bonus. I am looking at security leadership or management jobs paying 400+

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have any advice on finding these jobs? Are they even publicly listed? Do I need to talk to an internal recruiter and ask? Thanks a lot in advance!
On my 86.0.1 firefox on linux it detected nothing.
Because B) is a waste of time, money, and effort.

Whether or not A) is true has nothing to do with whether or not B) is worth doing. There's no reason to imply that I'm making a false dichotomy fallacy.
If you don’t ask them for the info, they still pay the same rate. You’re only asking them for data they already have on you. And you’re still on the donor list.

The difference between you and someone who doesn’t request is minuscule. An automated process sends someone a PDF. The world isn’t going to collapse under that weight.

Well, yes, I have to agree there. Cubicles are only nice by comparison with an open office.

There's an episode of [0] The Ongoing History of New Music, Episode 702: A Brief(ish) History of CanCon, where they cover the [1] Broadcasting Act of Canada, which says TV & Radio need to be a certain % "Canadian".

By far the most common HN commenter nowadays seems to be your typical pedantic tech worker geek that has no entrepreneurship ambitions whatsoever

I genuinely wonder whether there was a time when the majority here were actually entrepreneurial, even in the early days
The USA's capitalist image aside, price tags per se are as American as apple pie, having been invented by Quakers, who found haggling/price discrimination immoral. They caught on in industry because they helped optimize the checkout process. [1] (Consumerism is arguably more strongly tied to the American identity than capitalism.)

The concept of MSRP to me (as an American) is not too far removed from that of the price tag, which I guess makes it not too surprising to me that MSRPs are culturally normalized here.

We bypassed bytenode and decompiled Node.js bytecode in Ghidra
I just verified this on my machine and it was able to uniquely identify across Brave browser, Firefox and Epic browser (based on Chromium). I didn't check Safari because that's the browser I use the most and don't want to test on that.

The Epic browser one was interesting. That browser comes with a built in proxy for routing connections through other countries. I use it to get around geolocked content and sometimes for a tiny sense of anonymity. But seeing this able to identify it with same identifier as Brave and Firefox was a bit more troubling. But I guess that comes with the territory of all these browsers using the same Chromium engine.
Yea, I think I tend to agree with you. It may cause a lot of pain in the short term, but being forced to pay penetration testers seems like it could be a net good in the long term for security in general. I don't think nation state attackers would be so kind as to un-fuck your system after they cripple it, even for a massive fee.
The campaign was certainly surveilled. Have you seen any indication it was unwarranted? I found https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/03/doj-fbi-review-of-s..., which suggests nothing untoward was going on. As I said, I don't think Trump was approaching this in a particularly well-considered way.
> Second, and this is probably a bigger deal - lack of exact range often indicates flexibility in seniority, skillset and scope.

The flexibility should be reflected in the job title or level; salary bands are vital to ensure that people at the same level are being compensated equitably and know what they're interviewing for up front. It's totally fine to tell candidates they're going to aim for a L4 position with the possibility of L5 (or higher) depending on interviews.
It is strange and it probably was chosen to stand out and draw more attention.
Item #4 on your list drives me nuts as well.

>This is practiced throughout the world and throughout industries, but for some reason we think it should be different for mobile phones

uhh, no? Antitrust arises out of the core factor that "this platform is popular and people care". If people didn't care about Windows it wouldn't have gotten an antitrust in the 1990's. If people didn't care about Steel then the Rockerfellers wouldn't have gotten antitrust in 19th century.

Is very much is not different for phones. The only difference is that data doesn't take up physical space. But I hope we've progressed past the web 1.0 arguments on how data isn't powerful.

>n fact, as you mentioned, if you don't like the Apple Store you can go to: Steam, itch.io, GOG, or host a website yourself. If I can't create an arbitrary game and have access to Epic's user base, I don't see how it's different. Can I use Epic accounts on my own indy game?

Itch.io, Steam, Gog are not hosted on IOS. IOS has a marketplace of 10 billion and offers to host general applications, much like a PC (which has been hit by a case like this). Comparing this to selling fortnite skins is very dishonest and telling of your faith in this conversation.

Coal and other bulk materials are “easy” - one customer on each end. Intermodal is more complicated but at the right price it’ll be competitive with trucking.

Nope, because it would take millions of years.
Modern DSLRs do have excellent mirror damping, though. On my D3300 the shutter causes more vibration than the mirror.
Nice. Can you explain the recursive aspect? A quick Google reveals only teaser articles and ads for books. I'm interested because years ago I started developing a "nested" system, although I never got it adequately fleshed out.

For the curious, mine was about dates. 31 words for days in the month, 12 for months. The secret sauce, though, is practice. I never did the practice, so I remain limited to the first three dates I tried to commit to memory with my system. But: I can still remember them! :)

The bigger the difference between the cost of the downtime and the ransom, the most likely it is to be paid.

Assuming you were in a TV show, and offered two options: Spin wheel 1 with a 95% chance of winning $5M, or spin wheel 2 with a 50% chance of winning $50M, which one are you going to spin? The EV is higher on the second one, sure, but taking the near-certain 5M may still be a better choice - a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Additionally, this group is said to do its research and adjust ransoms accordingly, so it seems likely that the ransom amount was a carefully thought out choice.

I think a lot of people realize Bitcoin consumes a lot of energy without necessarily realizing the extent to which the energy consumption correlates with the price of BTC. After pushing up the price of BTC with a $1.5B purchase and a bunch of tweets, it might have been a bit of a wake-up call to then subsequently see the electricity usage of the network immediately start to skyrocket (he did recently tweet a link to cbeci.org).

He really should have known better, but all that said it's not hard to imagine how this could've played out behind the scenes. He's previously mentioned having trusted friends who convinced him of the value of crypto, and he may have genuinely believed that it would drive growth of renewables long-term, but then changed his views as he became more aware of the damage this is causing in the here and now.
18/20 on hard mode. Sherter ones are more difficult, longer ones tend to have dangling clauses or circular claims. I suspect GPT-3 could produce convincing complete abstracts. But this was good enough that I don't feel bad about the two I missed.
Having worked somewhere where I had a large deferred bonus, which I had to walk away from after the company turned hostile very quickly, I'd much, MUCH prefer to get my bonus paid out at the end of each year, vs. having it deferred, even if I have to take a hit on overall comp instead.

You just can't estimate how compatible you and your employer will be 4 years in the future.

> public opinion of their neutrality has already been tainted by Nazi gold.

For someone looking for a jurisdiction to turn a blind-eye, Switzerland's complicity wrt Nazi plunder is a definite pro, not a con. As far public sentiment is concerned, that's what "neutrality" implies, not the legalist meaning that often requires a neutral party to affirmatively reject such dealings.
I can’t speak for other industries but in the financial industry (in the US at least) periodic backups are required on physical tapes both off- and on-site.

Barring a Mr. Robot hack of the institution and Iron Mountain to burn the tapes the absolute worst-case scenario in a ransomeware attack on a financial institution is an afternoon of data lost.
About half (?) the voters voted against Netanyahu, and I think even more disagree with taking more land, and that they'd rather want peace and friendliness with the Palestinians instead. So I think it makes sense to separate the Israeli government from ... most of the people.
Yeah, some of the items read like the types of things you'd witness in a "toxic" organization, where cynical individuals are engaged in these behaviors and have convinced themselves that they're not part of the problem.
Sorry, I'm basing this off other articles on this subject I've read recently but my 30 second search didn't locate them. The DoD has some reason to believe their interpretation is correct though, a law clarifying it's not would still be a good idea.

I have gotten so much more information reading the comments than the article.

A lot of the "meta" is useful to me.

I come here for the comments, and like all the comments, even most of the silenced blurry ones.

Sometimes it sounds like a echo chamber, but I like the
diversity of this crowd.

I think most of the regulars here realize HN has some strong rules. A bit too strong for myself, so I refrain from saying what I really feel.

I think most of us know the culture at Hacker News. Would I like to see the boundaries expanded--yes, but I understand most of you are afraid of this site becoming Reddit, and so am I.

A bunch of niceties over a article, or controversial subject, is not helpful to me.

(More meta coming up. Does anyone know the exact source code to HN. I've seen the old source code at Git. I'm looking for something current. I want to learn Lisp, and programming a site I like would be nice. Or, is there another language better suited (I guess more libraries) that would be a better fit for a HN clone?)
People at my company don't wear suits. Wearing one outside of a really important meeting a would actually show a lack of corporate culture. I dress better than most but still in the culture (decent dress shoes, dress pants, dress shirts).

I have sent emails when working late at night, mostly so I don't forget to send them in the morning. I doesn't really matter. My boss is generally aware of the work I do since they are in the daily meetings. Copying department heads on elevation emails is a way to get on their bad side in my experience.
