Still a straw man - how many of these 50 were public? It’s only the private ones that matter.

> It was likely many hundreds of data points since it would be trivial to check more than one number if you already had 2 copies of a tax return pulled up.

How is this relevant? Multiple points from public sources don’t show anything.

The only thing that matters is the number of sources who are both independent and private.

All an attacker would need to do is have access to a few of these private records and they could make their leak look genuine.

I enjoy Terraform, I just wish there was a more graceful way of setting up a new module to use backend state from the get-go. Having to create the resources with local state first, then re-run terraform init after adding the backend configuration block, just gets really annoying. Small complaint in the grand scheme of things, though.
I disagree with your disagreement!

Anyone who has built a personal project and a real-world professionally engineered project knows that the actual tasks involved are wildly different. What you think the correct solution is becomes a tertiary consideration. You need to consider the desires of stakeholders, money people, regulators, and quite a few others. Designing a treehouse for fun and designing a professional solution to a list of sometimes contradictory constraints and optimizations scratch some very different itches.

One is very clearly play and one is very clearly work.
This is more of a failure on the justice department. Federal regulators are not prosecutors and it's probably for the best that they don't have the authority to lock people up. But it certainly feels like we don't have enough criminal law on the books for executive malfeasance.

This case may be a bit different though - they apparently left a pretty big paper trail:

> When Lowe and Farnsworth presented the disruption program to other executives of Respondent MoviePass, one executive warned that the password disruption program “would be targeting all of our heavy users” and that “there is a high risk this would catch the FTC’s attention (and State AG’s attention) and could reinvigorate their questioning of MoviePass, this time from a Consumer Protection standpoint.” (Emphasis in original).

> Another executive agreed, warning of “FTC Fears: All [the other MoviePass executive’s] notes about FTC and PR [public relations] fire are my main concerns as I think the PR backlash will flame the FTC stuff.” (Emphasis in original).

care to share? (I know some hn users often don't w/o being asked, out of a sense of not wanting to be seen as self-promoting.)
>> There turn out to be two senses in which work can be one's own: 1) that you're doing it voluntarily, rather than merely because someone told you to, and 2) that you're doing it by yourself.

Maybe that's why I sometimes get more involved in helping other people at work than doing my own. Helping someone else is voluntary, while doing my own work is a bit more of an obligation. Helping out is also more transient and not a constant daily thing, so it serves as a break from work even though its still work. So now that I've said all that, it's obvious that people are more motivated to do something they choose vs something they're told to do. Sounds like a discipline problem when phrased that way.
The "Number Format" panel is front and center in the Excel ribbon. Just use anything but "General" and you get the "I don't want you automatically guessing mode".

Ctrl+A then Alt H N T E enter to make the whole spreadsheet "Text" by default instead of "General". (Or Ctrl+A Alt H N A enter to default everything to "Accounting" if you are just going to be typing in a bunch of dollar amounts, etc.)

What is unethical about not wanting to pay more taxes than the law asks you to?

I’m sure some people donate their own money to Uncle Sam, but most people don’t and they are not required to.
For what purpose…?
I've been sitting on the fence wrt Terraform and other such tools for quite some time now. After being _forced_ to finally write massive k8s YAML files (and ansible YAML files) for a consulting gig, I've been wondering whether these tools should be developed as _libraries_, that you glue together using a full-fledged programming language, instead of shoe-horning a programming language in YAML.

For example, could the following be library functions that you could glue together in the programming language of your choice: (a) get current state of infra, (b) calculate diff between desired state and current state, (c) perform a single step (safely) that represents a granular change in infra, (d) perform a series of steps representing infra changes with safe rollback?

Does something like this already exist?

This comment perfectly encapsulates the political/societal leanings I completely disagree with. This sentiment of "nobody can have anything nice unless there's enough for absolutely everyone to have an equal amount."

Life's not fair, and no amount of politics or regulations will change that. There will always be some people with better health, more attractiveness, more intelligence, more charisma, better connections, more drive, better self-control, and so on. I have excellent physical and mental health despite hardly ever going to a doctor in my life; I have good genes and I have a natural interest in eating healthy and exercising. Some people are born into rich families and will never have to work a day in their life if they don't want to. Some people are beautiful and go about their life just shy of being worshipped because of their looks. That's life.

I have zero problem with a world in which some people have a way better life than everyone else. My goal is to avoid bringing anybody down while bringing as many people as possible up. Let the rich guy be rich, and find a way to help the poor guy educate himself and get more opportunities. Let the beautiful people be beautiful, and help everyone else take care of themselves better and learn to make the most of what they have. It's anti-freedom and dictatorial to force everybody to wage slavery just because some people are born poor or are careless about their finances.
I guess that also means that Gritty is technology. I like to think that Gritty would approve of that.

Three pages of text is a lot to read in images you can't reprocess for accessibility on a site made for viewing images.
Lone Star beer used to have images under their bottle caps as puns[1]. One of them used an image of a noose as part of the puzzle, which was completely unrelated to race, or death - it was simply using the word as a similar word to "news".

Someone went apeshit on Twitter[2], and now all the puns are gone while Lone Star reviews them for sensitivity.

I'm politically liberal, and I'm fucking ashamed of the fact that this kind of stupid behavior is associated with liberal politics.

In case anyone finds this, I should probably clarify that my beef is with DiAngelo specifically rather than with CRT in general. I think that what she puts forth leads to unhelpful, performative activism, and I think she characterizes Black people erroneously as a monolith. In my opinion, the end result is white people getting bounced off of important work by one excessively moralizing book with a profit motive. For this and other reasons White Fragility is being taken off of some antiracism reading lists.

I'll probably read her new book that's coming out soon, but my prior assumption is that it's more of the same. I hope to be proven wrong.
A lot of street drugs have never even had a chance to "run the gauntlet" so it's really not necessarily fair to rule them out. Which isn't to say that they _are_ effective, but we can't really rule them out just for being "street drugs".

On the other hand there’s this tendency to put down any kind of criticism as dumb, implying the person “just doesn’t get it”. No, I get it, I’m just not impressed. It’s a low-tech handheld with a gimmick. My gut feeling is that the novelty factor will wear of pretty quickly. This is completely unrelated to the fact that I’m impressed with the apparent production quality and marketing.

I know 0 people who have mentioned microdosing, or even know what that is. Hacker News has a way of distorting reality, citing specific studies, reinforcing and arguing against them with anecdata. Creating a bubble within the Hacker News reality. Many of the studies that these people reference, in psychology, and in health, the only way to get information out of them is through meta-analysis of many studies. These fields are so contradictory within themselves, it's not even worth looking at most "individual" studies. Sometimes even the meta-analysis can be wrong as well.

Really dumb idea here.

> Seasteading is building floating societies with significant political autonomy. Nearly half the world’s surface is unclaimed by any nation-state, and many coastal nations can legislate seasteads in their territorial waters.

> The Seasteading Institute is a nonprofit think-tank promoting the creation of floating ocean cities as a revolutionary solution to some of the world’s most pressing problems: rising sea levels, overpopulation, poor governance, and more…

Seasteading is not a solution to any real problem. It's like colonizing Mars or the moon - human bodies aren't evolved for either of those environments, and it won't make sense until we're post-biology to inhabit those places at any appreciable population volume.

Seasteading actually makes less sense than visiting Mars. Beyond living on an oil rig or research platform, there's only downside to life at sea: upkeep of the rig, importing resources, lack of fresh water, medical, and sanitary supplies. What you do have are rusting, corrosion, barnacles, bad weather, sea sickness, etc. There's nowhere to go and nothing to do. Just ask oil rig personnel how much fun their lives are.

What about trash and refuse? I imagine that's dumped right back into the ocean. Or damaged, partially submerged rigs that serve as shipping hazards? There are so many negative externalities.

Humans are terrestrial, and we're suited to live on land. All of our advantages are here.

It's like the 70s returned and they want people to live in biodomes. There's no point! No rationale worth any of the innumerable downsides.

We're not facing overpopulation. If anything, population growth in the 1st world needs to accelerate to match declining replacement rates. The earth has a much larger carrying capacity, and we're not even close to hitting it.

Sea level changes aren't stopping people from moving to Miami and investing in real estate there.

We're not going to see millions of people living "Principality of Sealand" style. It's as obtuse an idea as NFTs.

> collectivism

Collectivism is overrated and unnecessary. I'm a misanthrope and I don't want to live in a collective society, I want to live in a society where I can get away from other humans and keep to myself. Taxes and laws are enough to keep society civil and functional; going beyond that is imposing your own personal beliefs on everyone else, like a theocracy or dictatorship.
A very empty non-apology all in all, and not nearly addressing what Masad did wrong. Very disappointing.

Masad, if you're reading this, get off your high horse. Bullying and scaring people into compliance with lawyers does work, but you pay it dearly in PR, especially when you're working on products oriented towards highly opinionated people.
I not an advocate of a wealth tax, but there was something brought up in the article that is very interesting and requires more discussion.

If you own a billion dollar in stock and you want to spend $8 million this year, let's assume long term capital gains and a cost basis of 0. You sell $10 million worth of shares and are taxed 20% federally, costing you $2 million in taxes. Giving you $8 million to spend.

Or

You get a credit line $8 million, against your stock, without selling it, at a 3% interest rate. I draw down the line of credit and pay $240k per year to the bank. Before the new mortgage interest deduction was capped, you could get a credit line against your house and deduct the interest, thereby potentially only paying a portion of the $240k, because you'd get about 1/3 back in deductions; let's say $160k.

When tax professionals see that you could pay $2 million in taxes this year or $160k in interest per year, it becomes a no-brainer.

It seems like the answer is to close that different or live with the loophole.
What are you talking about? You think Warren Buffet can covertly sell his holdings and not have anybody find out? If he executes any sales the brokers will have the records; if he transfer the funds to any bank in the world, there will be plethora of records for regulators to access. There's no way he can secretly hide large transfers.

> What if Uber and Lyft didn't subsidize ridesharing for years?

That is different. Uber and Lyft were paying drivers to drive.

MoviePass was giving people basically free tickets, but paying FULL FARE at AMC and Cinemark.

AMC and Cinemark have no reason to negotiate because what would happen if MoviePass stopped giving away tickets to AMC and Cinemark? Users would leave MoviePass and continue going to AMC and Cinemark at full price.

Thank you, and yes. I love that idea of a distance metric. I think you're also pointing out that distroless images can end up increasing this developer distance, right? I was originally drawn to the idea of distroless images as a way to reduce vulnerabilities. However, staying up to date with a well maintained distro is effective too.

I think the gist of it is that JavaScript doesn't have threads, or isolated state. So your code can theoretically do anything it wants, but the React concurrency stuff is riding on your code only using a specific set of APIs, and does things like calling your functions on cloned instances with different props. If you aren't writing your code "in the React way" it very quickly leads to very confusing inconsistent behaviors.
I just wanted to extend my thanks for this new feature, it will be really, really appreciated. We have Grafana monitoring everything from your usual cloud stuff, down to the temperatures of cryogenic fridges. Being able to configure alerts more dynamically and clearly is going to make my job a lot easier.

Can't wait to fire this up and start re-doing all my alerts.

I just wanna give a shoutout to Facebook for finding a balance between rapid, innovative development on a major library without constantly introducing breaking changes. On the backend I'm a Clojure dev, and this approach has long been a standard in clojure.core which has earned my loyalty for many years. Wish more projects could be like this.
You‘re pretty much describing the idea behind Pulumi which got a lot of traction lately.

Personally, I‘m still undecided on whether the unlimited freedom of a fully fledged programming language is a good or a bad idea in terms of footgun potential.

I‘m also still a bit unsure whether to play early adopter for an extremely hyped VC open core project even though it feels tempting.

Experiences appreciated!
I would also trot out ENRON as another example, on a much larger scale. The only person in the entire fiasco that actually did serious jail time was Jeffrey Skilling who was sentenced to 14 years and was released in 2019.
Ya, it's definitely a lot to read.

But if you are going to make statements like "I can't believe he responded in that way!!", it's important to read the thing that is actually being responded to.
this, different resourcers are named in different providers and I would find that HCL code would vary from one provider to another. This is the reason I have been a huge proponent of using container based applications that happen to get launched in a specific cloud, rather than using a base OS/ function app service
In this case then nothing would happen, because the "person" is "dead". We need some framework for holding actual people liable for the actions of corporations they control.
It's not necessarily the "have nots" who jump on the bandwagon. Many of these mob inciters are clearly middle class or upper middle class. I've even seen news anchors participate, people who earn several hundreds of thousands a year. In some cases, it may have to do with crab mentality. Wanting to pull someone down who has more than them:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_mentality

However, if you look at the way James Damore was taken down, or that woman who made a stupid joke at the airport, these people weren't particularly rich compared to their peers. I think that had more to do with wanting to silence dissenting voices and kick someone while they're down, never giving them an opportunity to defend themselves or to have an open discussion.
It's such an unpleasant experience speaking to someone who has bought into some form of group-think on a topic. One of my college friends, otherwise an extremely bright guy would frustrate me immensely whenever any political topic came up.

Not because we disagreed, but rather because I felt I was talking to John Oliver or whatever other pundit he recently listened to on a topic. Same points. Same statements. Same words.

Discussing the root of his propositions were impossible, because they weren't his. He didn't think about them, someone else did.

Seems like this is some kind of political movement to create autonomous floating mini states.

Have these people never played BioShock? This is basically the same naive libertarian ideas going wild.

For such an project to be successful you need to have some serious funding. Why should anyone fund this?

Any legitimate industry will have a hard time on the ocean where you have horrible logistics, nearly no access to resources and are miles away from potential clients.At best I could maybe see a niche for some gimmicky tourism.

So what would it be used for? Let's be honest: Tax evasion, human trafficking and gambling.

It would be way too expensive to live there for normal people. Plus it would more oppressive. You can at least flee from a tyrannical government on land. If you are in the middle of the ocean? Good luck.

Though I dig the futurism. As long a they keep larping, good for them. Just hope they don't think it is a good idea in real life.
