>Would they really try to triangulate the client packets? It is a large leap past "oh he is in the library, let's go find him".

This is smart, and a good idea. But it really just adds a step. Once they go to the library and don't find him, they'll start looking for something 'smart'. And doing 'smart' things like this really get the hackles of the feds up because they start thinking exciting things like 'state actor', and "I'll get a promotion out of this".

This is not true. A few big markets have switched, not “all”.

Besides drug markets, all the conventional cybercrime markets and forums still run on bitcoin.
In the end, what works is propaganda, propaganda, propaganda. Not truth, not facts, not numbers.

Look at the "no campaign"[1] that got the ball rolling on removing Pinochet from power. They won on rainbows, birds, and flowers. "No" is happy good-feeling, "yes" is scary and bad.

Not that this is a much better argument unless you ignore the concept of opportunity cost and Jevon's paradox. Green energy going into bitcoin could be used to replace traditional energy sources which could then be turned off. If you keep pumping new energy sources into never-ending stream of new inventions you're slowing, halting or in the worst case even reversing the transition speed.

Exactly, this is an option for covert entry, or access to a location hard to reach any other way. If someone is shooting at you during infiltration, something has already gone horribly wrong and the whole thing is blown anyway.
I'm glad I'm not in the situation of needing to make the judgement call, but Postgres' ecosystem might be part of the answer. For example, Snowflake has basic geospatial support, but PG has insane and useful stuff in PostGIS like ST_ClusterDBSCAN: https://postgis.net/docs/ST_ClusterDBSCAN.html

Foreign data wrappers are another thing that might be compelling — dunno if Snowflake has an equivalent.

I don't have any numbers but PG has served me fine for basic pseudo-warehousing. Relative to real solutions, it's pretty bad at truly columnar workloads: scans across a small number of columns in wide tables. The "Use Fewer Columns" advice FTA is solid. This hasn't been a deal breaker though. Analytical query time has been fine if not great up to low tens of GB table size, beyond that it gets rough.
... When a warship is sending a party to board you, shooting at them is a very good way of ending up sunk.

People have a very wrong idea of the situation where this would be used. The warship that sends the boarding party is going to have an overwhelming firepower advantage over anything they intend to board. They could sink the ship and kill everyone on board in less than a minute if they wanted to. The point is, in peacetime that's not a line they are going to cross unless the idiots start shooting first. A lot of the job of navies is basically acting as the sea cops, harassing wayward freighters and fishing ships into obeying whatever laws they are currently breaking. It's quite common for, say, Chinese ships to just try and leave fast enough that it's impossible to board them, trusting that the Naval vessel accosting them is not willing to start a shooting war. This adds another option for boarding such vessels.

Amazon has done this internally across several different iterations and it's fantastic. Being able to write a service definition and object model and then generating clients and service stubs makes it easy to model what client/server interaction will look like apart from implementation. When I was there, there were at least 3 protocol representations that you could expose for the same model, make it simple to support a variety of use cases.
you're completely right about the barbarism inherent to the whole retributive mindset, but prisons aren't even effective for the more humane goals you're talking about - they're much more likely to push someone further outside the bounds of legal society than rehabilitate, & the recedivism/rearrest statistics are pretty surprising too
Greenside Blocked Drain Cleaning
Greenside is an older neighborhood that has aged well. It comes with its complexities like large trees and aged plumbing systems. Obviously, this is also the breeding ground for blocked drains, toilets, basins, sinks, baths, and showers. With the recent expansion in the population of Greenside, we have also noticed an expansion of blockages attributed to toddler mishaps. A larger number of young couples have moved into the area and that results in new sets of environmental dynamics.

Yes, if you make a raw copy of a disk you are also concurrently writing to, you won't have a snapshot of the disk. Nothing surprising there, right?

Sure, but "most of the industry can't pay FAANG salaries" is also true.

There is a lot of room between that your characterization.
I agree that it's better, but that's the point. It's better in the same way that Service Now is better than HP Service Manager: It's essentially the same product, but started from scratch 10-20 years later.

There is value to that, and going all the way to IPO by succeeding against second system syndrome for 10 years straight is no small feat.

This is as opposed to other companies that actually change the way things are done (i.e. GMail is not "Outlook, but new").
> The whole "do it for the love of the craft not money" is bullshit propaganda

Or you could just value things about work apart from salary. No need to shame people for going for not doing for the absolute highest paying job. You can try to do the best you can comp wise, but if you're only chasing money your whole life, it won't lead to much satisfaction and is generally bad advice

So enlightening from a person who owned Italian and Hollywood Hills villas while saying this.

'Property for me, not for thee'
This invokes a really stupid conspiracy theory, to achieve a very marginal goal, in a space where it would be easy to produce evidence if it was real and yet of course no effort is made to even look for such evidence...

> To pick a random example look at VeriSign's root

But why though? Verisign is not in fact operating a trusted CA, so that makes as much sense for an example as looking at some root you just minted on your laptop.

Most likely, as so often with conspiracy theorists, you didn't stop to see if the facts line up with your beliefs, after all "VeriSign" is named right there in a certificate Mozilla trusts, surely that's a smoking gun right?

Er, no. DigiCert owns the business behind that, collecting rights to names for a whole bunch of long obsolete CAs. The "smoking gun" CA that has the "VeriSign" branding is only trusted by Mozilla to sign S/MIME email certificates, something you likely couldn't care less about and certainly won't be using in the Tor Browser.

This all reminds me of what ekr said about this years ago, the most likely explanation for why we do not see practical attacks on security protocols like TLS is that it's almost always easier to find a weaker link elsewhere, see the parts of this thread explaining much simpler tricks that we know work.
The problem with most online salary negotiation advice is that it revolves around this idea that hiring is a 1-on-1 game between the candidate and the company. It assumes that the company has no other choices, so they must cave to the demands of the candidate.

In practice, companies keep multiple candidates in the hiring pipeline and candidates usually interview with multiple companies at once. It's not a 1-on-1 game, it's an N-on-M game. Unless the specific candidate has something ultra-specific to offer, companies are fine with declining increased salary demands.

I'm not suggesting that people shouldn't negotiate, but you have to keep in mind that neither side holds all of the cards.

> Candidate: I'll walk if you give me less than $140K.

> Hiring manager: Ok... Bye?

As a hiring manager, I might have multiple candidates with different levels of seniority in my hiring pipeline. I might be willing to pay $300K for a senior, $200K for a mid-level, and $100K for a junior employee (example numbers). If my mid-level candidate threatens to walk unless I pay them $300K, I'm going to let them walk and give the $300K offer to the more senior candidate. I have no desire to overpay for a mid-level when I can get a senior-level for the same price.

This is what most people forget in negotiations: You're not just negotiating against the company, you're negotiating against everyone else who wants the job.

In practice, reaching equilibrium requires being willing to push the demands until your demands or offers are being rejected more than they're being accepted. That requires more sample points, so always apply to as many jobs as possible.
That’s your companies implementation and your lack of roles in the platform.
I think a lot of people seem to forget that employers pay more than the base salary in Europe. For instance your “salary” in Sweden is 31.42% higher than what you’re told your base salary is, due to pension contributions, and social services.

As an employer I would have to pay 78.852 if an employee had a base salary of 60.000.

This is before personal income taxes, which are also very high.

Seriously. It has a lot more to do with the idea too that if you look similar to other big companies who are using it then you'll get a modicum of a trust factor out of the gate than some nefarious psy op.
We have that option to, and I looked at switching to it, but the list of exceptions to the out-of-network costs was still fairly long and contained words that I wasn't sure what they meant in the context of a legal document. Considering we'd be paying about $20k more out-of-pocket with that plan in a typical year, I wasn't sure if "getting a smaller list of exceptions" was worth it.
Snowflake and big query are cloud solutions. Some companies have a need for self hosted databases etc.

And often having a homogenous database stack is a plus. If your production systems are all MySQL, then trying to get away with using MySQL for analytics too is a smart move etc.

I’ve seen so many tiddly data warehouses. Most companies don’t need web scale, and they overbuild and over complicate when they could be running on a simpler homogenous stack etc.
Lawyers too, though there is a similar bimodal salary distribution, so it only applies to the top lawyers. Outside of those two fields nothing in the UK compares to US wages.

$75k is considerably higher than the top 10% for almost the entire world. Even in most of Western Europe, $75k would be in the top 5%. It of course depends on what that salary actually contains: a Western European salary is taxed for around 40%, but health care is cheap.

> The nice thing is that, since TypeVars are ordinary variables, you can re-use them / import them in multiple modules and avoid a lot of boilerplate code.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the boilerplate only exists because Python makes you define them as ordinary variables in the first place. So while you can have a `foo.py` file like this:

T = TypeVar("T")

And a `bar.py` file like this:

from foo import T

class Bar(Generic[T]):
...

So are you saying that this is less boilerplate than a `bar.py` that just defines its own `T` TypeVar? Because that seems like a pretty comparable amount of boilerplate. Or are you saying that it's less boilerplate than languages that don't treat TypeVars as ordinary variables, e.g., Rust? Because in Rust our `bar.rs` file would look like this: `struct Bar<T> {...}` (and the scoping rules are patently obvious, to boot).

Well this is bad negotiation for a lot of reasons. I've coached 1000's of folks on getting better offers. You are right that you have to have some leverage. But walking away is only one of many possible leverage points. You could also have other offers, have done well in the interview process, be walking away from an existing role that offers xyz that isnt offered at this company... What data points or pieces of leverage do you have other than I will walk? Because that is and should be the last piece used.

If you are putting the first number out you're already working from behind.

Company: We'll offer you 100K.

Candidate: I'm really excited about the role for xyz reasons and I liked meeting with (insert persons name here) because it allowed me to learn about (insert reason you actually like the company here).

I had a question about the offer. The base salary was a bit lower than I was expecting. Do you think we could get it adjusted? (If you have a point of leverage insert that here like, "My current comp is actually pretty close to this offer and I am expecting an promotion sometime in the next 6 months based on conversations with my manager").

I hope we can work this out over the next few days because I think this opportunity is the right next step in my career.

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Company: "Okay we can do 115K"

Candidate: Thanks so much for getting those adjustments. I was targeting closer to a 150K base salary. I am very invested in the role and the company though. I'm specifically excited about working with XYZ.

Do you think we can move the base salary closer to that 150K mark? If not could we get a sign on bonus for the difference?

If you could get to 150K base salary or something like 130K with a 20K sign on bonus I'd be ready to sign today and could start 2 weeks from Friday.

Company: probably comes back with something less than 150K but something a whole lot better than 100K.

I've had exactly one person I coached ever have their offer pulled. He basically said here are all the reasons your company sucks and I need XXXk to come work there.

That's not negotiating. Negotiating is finding a point where you and the company both feel like you are both fairly valued.

I feel the pain. Everybody decides their appliance will emit "syslog", but they don't bother to look at either RFC (not even the very lax RFC3164) and just emit "log messages preceded by some sort of timestamp", as the article calls out:

> But what makes things hell is the fact that too many vendors decided not to care about what is in the RFCs, they decided that “hey, putting a year there is just fine” even though the RFC says “no”, that they don’t really need to set a host in the header, and that they didn’t really need to implement anything new after their initial legacy stuff was created.

It sounds like the author and I are doing similar work, so he knows my pain: if you make a product which can parse syslog, and somebody selects your product for parsing syslog, and they they feed it non-syslog logs from Company Y's product... it's now your problem, instead of Company Y's, even though you're perfectly capable of parsing syslog! Luckily, regular expressions and beer eventually get most things sorted out. :)

I don't know why FORTH would come into it. OpenBMC does a different job to Open Firmware (Sun Openboot v. ILOM). OpenPOWER boots through Linux -- or at least some of it does.

What I really need from a BMC is properly-working and secure IPMI. I don't admin them, so I don't know how how the implementation on the AC922s I use holds up, but I've only had poor experience with proprietary BMC software in the past, and there's considerable appeal to being able to fix it.

Why should POWER systems use RISC-V rather than their own free cores?
Interesting - as I understand it, one of the big tech innovations from Disney's The Mandalorian was LED projected virtual sets that solved the lighting issues from green screens (see ~2:10 mark of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufp8weYYDE8), making VFX scenes cheaper and faster to produce in exchange for higher up front costs. It had the added benefit of giving actors more to work off of.

I wonder if this technique will swing the cost pendulum back in favor of traditional green screens?
