It is incredibly hard to imagine that the upside in Musk's personal Bitcoin stake, whatever it is, is anywhere close to approaching his personal stake in Tesla. Something like 70% of his net worth is Tesla stock. It would be unbelievably stupid to jeopardize the value of the Tesla stock to pump up the value of his Bitcoin holdings.

this is a good point, but if I held Tesla, I would probably prefer cash. it could be that Tesla's greatest value is as a prop for BTC scams.

Teslas catch on fire randomly. Their roofs fall off sometimes. Their self-driving tech doesn't work as well as people expect, and when people get that expectation wrong, it sometimes results in them dying. The bulk of the company's revenue comes from carbon credits.

maybe he's pumping and dumping Bitcoin because he doesn't expect his wealth to last, and if he sold a bunch of Tesla stock, people would notice. a little scam to set aside a nest egg just in case the other scam doesn't pan out.

the weaknesses in this argument are SpaceX and PayPal, so I'm not totally convinced of my own position here, but I haven't seen any good counterarguments otherwise.

he could also just find scams fun for their own sake.
This won't work against fingerprinting unless you change the underlying hardware and / or external IP too when stating a new VM. If you don't have a unique external IP per VM you might as well not bother.

I don't think he's saying he can differentiate how they say it, rather that given the context of the situation he's never mistakenly given someone a pin when they were asking for a pen, and vice versa.
The most important thing I learned about this sort of memorizing is that it is not useful to me, and that let me stop worrying about it. Sure, there might be some cases where it could be, but for the most part this technique overfits to the competition and doesn't transfer to my day-to-day.

For things I want to memorize day to day I don't have to memorize a long list of things and recall it directly, I might have to build up a list of things I can recall, but I have time to build up that list, and I can use spaced repetition (Anki) for that.
If you're a good employee you're better off working at a FAANG. the risk your taking is working for relatively crappy pay for the chance at a large pay off at the end when the company you believe it finally IPOs. At a FAANG I don't have to care, I'm making $300k-$500k or more if I'm actually worth anything.

It's an investment by the employee. Coinbase is being cheap and it will come back to bite them. Odds are they don't care for the lifetime of the company since they're so tied to bitcoin's success.

> Something like 70% of his net worth is Tesla stock.

That's why they're not actual net worth. They are not liquid and will almost never be.

Private pump and dump schemes generate real cash, that can be used.

Musk can never leverage his Tesla stocks to do anything useful near the theoretical amount he has. better get some real cash that can buy actual yachts.
It would be trickier, but it's not as hard as one might want to get a user to click in such a way that the protections in place against automated behaviors can be side-stepped.

I'd bet good money that this trick would be useful for anyone running either a meme generator website or a file host, for example. It'd be pretty solid in the file host in particular, because you could hide some of the obvious weird behavior behind the "We're downloading your file" delay.

I don't think its relevant. My first reading of that paragraph gave me the impression that she removed stuff from her yard/property.
Everyone wishes it was that simple. The truth is people are irrational and so are the motivations behind “cancelling” someone. I reread Jon Ronson’s book on public shaming some time ago and it seems more relevant now than it did when it was first published.
Given that Apple has no oversight at all here, they can do whatever they want. If an app makes it through review, but has forbidden functionality, Apple will just assume that the developer hid that functionality for the review process, and ban them. Doesn't matter if the approval was due to a mistake on the reviewer's part. Apple won't care.

The concept of having humans on another planetary body makes a lot of sense as a backup-plan for humanity. The Drake equation be damned - in case we're actually alone, we have a pretty strong moral requirement to make sure that (human) life survives.
> Windows in particular is as simple as it gets - there's a Windows Store App that you can install and that's pretty much it.

Ok I haven't installed Python myself this way, but, does it set up PATH for you properly? How about pip, does it add pip to PATH? Often things will tell you to type `pip install` rather than `python -m pip install` so there's a potential source of confusion pretty early on too.

(Currently, I tell people to install chocolatey then use that to install Python because choco does take care of PATH for both Python & pip. If Windows app store Python install takes care of all of this maybe I'll try suggesting this next time and see how it goes.)

Also, let's suppose you get Python from Windows app store. Great, you have installed Python 3.9! You are doing the tutorial, just lovely, now in a week you want to make a Discord bot! Great first project. Uh oh, RED Discord Bot requires Python 3.8 (3.9 introduces breaking changes for some of its dependencies). How much more trouble you are now in because you have to install two versions of Python at the same time! If only you had waited to install any version until you were ready to start your first local project. (Based on actual events)

As far as IDEs go, well, in Pycharm you are asked, do you want to set up a project? Huh? What's a project? (Later on: well, you can't just open a file from Windows Explorer, you need to open your entire project! Well, isn't THAT confusing!) Then you have to answer about a venv. What's a venv? Oh, shit, I made the folder in the wrong place, let me move it, omg, nothing works anymore, oh, I guess that "venv" thing was kinda important to know about after all, well, shit...Ok, so again, maybe don't jump all the way to Pycharm as your first IDE but then I just have to ask why are you using an IDE at all when replit would do just fine? Then you're going to have loyalty to a tool that's worse than Pycharm and not want to switch once you are ready to use the right tool.

> But again, maybe I'm just way to detached from your typical absolute beginner to even remotely understand any of these issues.

I think this is pretty likely; if you haven't helped a friend start from literal scratch in the past year, it's pretty hard to realize just how confused people can be. And a LOT of people have tried things before and given up in frustration because they remembered how painful the setup was. So that leaves them with messes on their computers and also psychological scars of "oh my god not another setup, please not another setup, don't make me do another setup...."

Plus, if you have always had someone to ask for help then it's hard to appreciate just how painful setups can be when you're stuck on your own for them. If something breaks, no one's going to fix it for you, it's just broken, and you're just alone, and you feel REALLY goddamn stupid because as your comment points out, setups seem like they ought to be trivial. But they really just never are.
I've never checked out your product, but we use Keycloak extensively and I can say it is a great Auth solution and I've used several and even built some (poorly).

The only real downside of Keycloak IMO is the documentation. Because it covers so many bases, and is very extensible, the official doc is enormous. There are a lot of lightweight articles about how to use it, I'd use one of those to get started.

Some great things about it are:

- it's widely used, so you can google your way out of most problems

- it does everything. When someone asks if you have 2FA or support Yubikey - the answer is yes.

- it's very extensible. Great APIs, and you also have access to the underlying database should you really need it (we never have, I'm sure some do).

- it's open source. IMO this is a non-negotiable for an auth system

> Just look up what happens when you drop a 10ton tungsten rod from outer-space. Thanks to gravity, when it hits the ground it has the same impact of a small nuclear device.

That’s... not as good as a nuclear device? Susceptibility to 10 ton tungsten rods is pretty lame to worry about when a 10 ton actual nuclear bomb would be so much worse.

I used to laugh at the old Plan 9 fortune, "... Forking an allegro process requires only seconds... -V. Kelly". Guess I'm not laughing anymore?

FWIW, performance of components is the barrier to composition in system design and development. You can't compose modules that take seconds to act, and still have something that is usable real-time.
Forking a process on a modern Linux is relatively cheap these days, and for many jobs you will just prefork all the workers anyway. Passing messages via thread mailboxes or IPC pipes are about equally complex endeavours.

If threads had never been invented, I suspect that 90% of modern multicore programs would have done just fine on a mixture of multi-processing and asynchronous I/O. (The other 10% would have done poorly, though.)
you mean over-valued? why would them having poor-margins and huge amounts of debt make them an attractive investment ?
What data needs to be confidential in the case of the Colonial Pipeline?

I'm sure that there's proprietary data. Maybe knowing how much oil / gasoline is flowing might allow some traders to make unfairly informed trades (or maybe not: only inside trading is illegal. If someone figures out the information some other way, its not illegal IIRC).

And maybe employee data should be kept private, but there's no HIPPA requirement on that. Its not like there's payment processors on this thing either, so no PCI compliance here.

So I'm not exactly seeing why backing up data would be an issue in this case.
Yeah, but you know what also works? Running perf and running that through normal pprof...

They comp the difference in vesting schedule (against average) with a cash sign on bonus that pays out over the first 2 years. Your yearly comp is equal to getting 25% of the RSU value per year (plus the actual stock accrues value over this time).
The biggest issue with newer browsers is actually probably the feature cycle. Every couple months browsers introduce at least one horrible feature I need to update our policies to disable.
The state is rarely capable of enforcing the law on more than a small minority of lawbreakers because enforcing the law is expensive.

If there's a busy road where people are routinely speeding, the state is actually incapable of pulling every single speeder over and ticketing them. Instead, the state relies on setting reasonable speed limits and scaring drivers with the prospect of fines.

This isn't a personal philosophy as much as it is a statement of truth: it's really expensive to enforce laws.

Well that's obviously not true. Chaotic rapidly growing startups with little process, promote people at a vastly higher rate than established big companies with a lot of process and less growth.

Interstate highways are designed for a speed limit of <100MPH and have the curves to show for it.

High speed rail goes well beyond that speed and needs much larger curves, at which point you're deviating enough from main roads you may as well just take a different path entirely.
Dumb question time: What's "IC". As you can imagine, the term is kind of overloaded in internet searches.

Aside from profiling, can these custom URL handlers also be used as an attack vector on other installed applications?

That is, assuming any of those happens to be installed and have a (input sanitation related) vulnerability.

Maybe I'm just seeing ghosts here. But the idea of a web site pushing malicious links to whatever software may also be installed on the same machine, isn't a very comforting thought.
You’re remarking on a development time number. Like, the amount of time it’ll take to create your account.

> Yeah but they arent though. 350-400k is actually somewhat low for senior.

I wouldn't say this. It's solidly middle of the road for a Google or FB senior, and high/unreachable for an Amazon or Microsoft Senior. Its probably(?) on the lower side for Netflix.

This is all before stock growth. Someone who has been a Senior for 5 years at Google or Facebook will be vesting shares that doubled in value, so the take home pay will be higher.
cash would be a good reason.

and the cycle continues, why pump once when you can do it again?

The big attractor to Notion for me is the All-in-on workspace idea. It's a table-database, it's a wiki, it's a kanban board, it's a team calendar, it's a project gallery, it's a blog.

Tables can have wiki notes, which can have tables. The recursive nature works very well for organizing your knowledgebase and having an entire org work together.

The things I hate about notion.

1) pressing / anywhere opens the menu. So annoying.

2) It's live collaboration on code is awful. We end up using codesandbox and then copy-pasting back.

3) It looses and new edits every now and then. Their sync needs work.

4) No way to proper version control documents and have a pull-request/suggestion like model for editing authoritative docs.

The other player in the same market is https://coda.io. They go quite a bit further than notion in terms of formulas and reference tables.

With both Coda and Notion, I feel I seldom have to use google docs.

The Northeast corridor in the US was opened in 1834.

Visiting the demo website in Tor Browser (using the 'Safest' setting), the demo site displays this notice:

Instead of focusing on other countries successes with HSR it may be more applicable to look at our ongoing attempts at high speed rail. The California HSRA has been working toward the goal of HSR in california for over a decade. California has the largest tax revenue in the US and one of the most progressive populations. Despite this, they still are plagued by cost overruns, deadlines, and political opposition.

It may have been a bit overstated, but the core point is solid.

One of the main reasons the war on drugs failed is a lack of voluntary submission. Pure enforcement, even with the progressive strengthing of enforcement powers, was simply unable to stop drugs being widely available in the USA.

Our society runs on trust and voluntary submission to the rule of law. If either of those went away in a signifant fashion, the our legal system and society in general would cease to function in it's current form.

Maybe I'm too cynical, but this "Eliminating negotiations from the hiring process" feels like they are saying "we are going to underpay you, severely"

Blaming it all on "women and minorities would end up underpaid" is a brilliant excuse.
