I worked for a very large Telco, and Telcos are the definition of "1960s conservative management style". It was the most management heavy place I could have ever conceived.

This article is absolutely, 100% spot on the mark in every possible way.

Of course I left that place ASAP!
Not in about a decade, and only one line (RX).

I suspect it's pretty hard to make a rotary meet EU5; that may have been the last of them (the RX-8)

The two are completely plausibly related. Drinking age has a direct affect on the amount of drunk driving on roads and therefore the safety of them. The main group behind the push to 21 was Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

In fact, the Supreme Court case about this was where they came up with the rule!

The actual test is:

The spending must promote "the general welfare."
The condition must be unambiguous.
The condition should relate "to the federal interest in particular national projects or programs."
The condition imposed on the states must not, in itself, be unconstitutional.
The condition must not be coercive.
I think this is pretty much what FTX.com is doing? It's trading derivative contracts on stocks; so if I understand correctly you can trade stocks (or even not-public companies) without the actual stock ownership.
As the other sibling poster says, it's about not wasting other people's time. Make the messages/descriptions ruthlessly short and to the point and your colleagues will like you.
Yeah, I doubt it since it's far too new. Publishing in a journal can take about a year.
When was the last time you tried Jellyfin? I've been tolerating Jellyfin since I set it up, but 10.7.0 onwards (released March 2021) has been pretty stable for me.
Elixir does not have a return keyword.
This is certifiably untrue. You should take a look at the "traditional" anti-vaxxers, who are a very small minority, and compare them to the recent ones, who are much, much larger.

The archetype of a current anti-covid-vaxxer is one who had no problem getting their kids vaccinated for polio, for DTAP, the chickenpox, and usually had no hesitation about getting the annual flu shot.

These people are categorically different, and much more numerous, than the tinfoil-hat-vaccines-cause-autism crowd.

One should surmise that the motivations are also categorically different, and I think you'll find if you actually speak to them, that distrust of the enormous governmental and institutional pressure is a significant factor.
Sorry it wasn't clear. I tried to be as extreme as possible to avoid being taken seriously. (Although I guess these days that works the other way.)

If you have data in Frankfurt, now is the time to test your backups. There's going to be a massive rash of failures in the next few months as hardware that was compromised but limping along dies off.
> Although the World Health Organization declared smallpox, a contagious and sometimes fatal infectious disease, eradicated in 1980, there have been longstanding concerns that the virus that causes smallpox, the variola virus, could be used as a bioweapon.

As I understand it, the variola virus's genome is known and it is possible to recreate it in a lab.
On top of all of that, let's assume the benefit of the doubt on things like being able to withdraw, etc. Even then..

It seems like the article is written to make the reader to feel like they missed out. This is almost certainly not the case. I actually happened to have come across Bitclout around the same time the article stated Sigil Wen did. And a few friends and I all put in a couple hundred dollars worth of btc into it, exactly as Sigil Wen did. Over the next couple of months most of us saw our bitclout balance drop. No one had a balance grow to thousands, then millions. We all put those bitclout tokens into various celebrity accounts and they mostly dropped over time. Sigil Wen is either one of the lucky ones or he knows a lot more than this article leads you to believe. A quick search for him shows he eventually became the founder of BitSwap, so take what you will about what this article might be getting you to think.
Not sure land is a great asset to use to estimate inflation.

Does Manhattan have the same value back when it was a spare key inhabited island 6,000 miles from Europe versus today when it’s a international hub with advanced infrastructure in place?

Land is weird in that it’s value is self-reinforcing. The more you do with it the more it’s worth (or at least more higher people value it).

I feel about the same, regarding ERC tokens and also most "real" financial derivative instruments; and the revulsion comes not from an aversion to gambling per se, but from the sheer size of the market for it and its distance from the tangible world. I know that some of those instruments produce value beyond their returns, by facilitating the management of risk and so forth, but the scale seems out of whack - akin to a town of 100 people, comprised of 10 farmers and 90 guys devoted to finding exotic new ways to speculate on this year's harvest.
There literally is no 'fire' in the report.
If they did have a fire, they're probably waiting for all the smoke and FM200 (or other extinguishing agent) to clear out before they send anyone in.
There's also some really dark patterns with BitClout like the founder being anonymous and virtually no information on the company. Also heavily pre-mined coin and no market to get your money out. The prices and value are all very opaque
Let's see here:

* Closed source

* You can buy but not sell tokens

* Anonymous, unaccountable developers

* They send your seed phrase to their servers [1]

This is a blatant scam, and New Yorker should be ashamed of themselves for giving it oxygen.

Fellow Swattie here, 2004 vintage. The CS department has changed dramatically even since my time there. We took classes in the observatory building, but they’ve long since outgrown that space. They’re now in the new Science Center building, and I heard they’ve actually outgrown that space as well. It’s a very popular major!
BitClout is a scam

Its sad how many articles get made on how Bitcoin is a scam where it has potential to transform the way people use traditional finance/money/investing. But an obvious scam like this gets front page praise.

Also, BitClout uploads your private seed/keys to their server on every API request - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27467634

Everything about BitCloud screams scam and as the comment linked above said, the New Yorker should be ashamed of themselves for publishing garbage like this.
Who is going to advocate for users if not developers? It’s like giving out that civil rights lawyers are lawyers so why is their work relevant to ordinary citizens
Honest question: where is the line? I assume you do want there to be some laws regarding public health and safety. On a spectrum of health/safety violations from terrorism, to murder, to assault, to reckless driving, to spreading a virus during a pandemic, to harassment, to causing a noise complaint - where should the line between legal and illegal be?

Edit: although, my question doesn't address your concern about personal risk. But the laws don't address personal risk, they address the public risks caused by your actions. If you don't care about public risks, then my question is a non sequitur.
Google has zero incentive to adhere to any standards because they already own the majority of the browser market.

The fact that Google is an ad provider and a browser vendor and trying to implement a browser-level tracking API is very alarming.

As mentioned in the Mozilla analysis, Google is also saying that they're who determines which sites are considered "protected" categories... which is the cherry on top of all of this nonsense.

I'd really like to understand how someone working on this thinks that it improves the web for everyone... not just Google.
Show HN: Lxroot – Lightweight software virtualization (for Linux)
Oh, I'm definitely, genuinely a fool. For ever trying to get a point across on the internet.
It's more an issue of either having an uneven depth after loading the bin, especially if the farmers are storing it all winter to sell the next summer. To do this you need to closely monitor the temperature and use the ventilation fans to bring the grain down in temp gradually to prevent spoiling. In order for that ventilation fans to do their job well the grain has to be a consistent depth.

Virtually all systems will produce uneven depth as the bins are loaded. You usually either end up with an upward cone in the middle from the pile, or an inverted cone when you're using a bin spreader to distribute the grain around the bin. The other time you can have an issue is if you have a powered spreader and forget to turn it on and load the bin unevenly on one side, which could end up being a structural issue.

I drive an old car partly for this reason. I've never had a car younger than 10 years old. My previous reasoning when I was younger was that I don't want to deal with the inspection requirements that come with OBD2 cars. Now I'm not so much worried about that with all the extra nonsense they're putting into them. My favorite car ever was older than I was, I loved it, an old ramcharger with power windows.

My current one has some "modern" archaic crap in it that was all the rage when it was built, it's GM so it has the OnStar buttons in the rear view mirror that are useless, along with complementary antenna on the roof. It's stock stereo controlled the alarm, it has all sorts of compartments that are nowadays mostly useless and IMO just an excuse to cram something in every spot. A lot of the "features" are just dead fads. The seats have lumbar shit in them and warm up. The warmer is useful in the winter I guess. Still with the bloat it is significantly better than the Frankensteins that commercials have convinced people they need nowadays.

My next car is either going to be a ~1995 4runner or a ~1994 diesel f-350 that I build myself. I do miss the corner windows.
So the "free" healthcare provided to ingident people because it's mandated by law causes insane costs on hospital bills for those that actually can pay. As always, obscure requirements and incentives lead to incomprehensibly perverse outcomes. This is why the libertarian standpoint holds so much attraction - anything the government becomes involved in always gets worse.

> This specific scenario happens on my local Nextdoor groups all the time. I've answered responded with what I think is pretty clear and concise information, and then seem that same person ask the same question the very next day in a new thread. (And the next day, and the next...) I cannot help but conclude they're not really looking for an answer.

Maybe I'm a jerk, but I'd be inclined to answer the second question with "I answered that yesterday. Why do you keep asking if you aren't going to listen to the answers?" And reply with that every single time they re-asked the question.

But... Nextdoor... does that mean it's your physical neighbors? That might make me hesitate to do so. Or maybe I'd still do something like the same, but worded more gently and politely.

Juros Baixos – Financial Services | Senior Backend developer | HQ Sao Paulo, BR – REMOTE | Full-time

Hi everyone! At Juros Baixos we are looking for a Senior Backend developer to help us with the professionalization of our platform. We are in that phase where we have outgrown the initial version of our system and have other and bigger plans for the company.

We are a company that brings transparency to the Brazilian financial market. Last year we started our strategy towards expanding our origination portfolio to also compare other products such as credit cards, debt renegotiation, bank accounts, and insurances while building our financial education service.

We are migrating our Rabbit, Node/typescript infrastructure to Kotlin (and later on Kafka) we could use someone that can guide us in the process, assure top code quality and build the tools for the future.

For more details and applying use a platform of your choice:

>This is a very HN comment, because it ignores that a lot of people are paid for being physically present somewhere (not for their output).

Are you saying you think most people on HN do piecework? Because I sort of took for granted they were salaried.

At any rate, different companies within an industry area can be quite different.

I have had jobs involving programming that were:

- salaried
- hourly, with overtime
- required time entry of billable/nonbillable projects worked on in 15 or 6 minute increments
- required using a time clock (but not intraday time entry)
- union
- non-union

Only the time clock one (salaried, non-union) was primarily focused on "butts in seats". They also had something in the orientation about sleeping at your desk not being allowed.
Since not all IEEE 802.1 Ethernet frames can be converted to IEEE 802.11 frames using the Linux bridging infrastructure isn't sufficient (even though it can do fancy things like bridge non-Ethernet and Ethernet interfaces; Like bridging PPP interfaces and IEEE 802.1 Interfaces). You genuinely need a tunnel if you want support all Ethernet functionality.
This is just proving that even the slightest suspicion of a semiserious side effect is being thoroughly investigated, as opposed to the anti-vaxer propaganda claims.
Actually, EU wanted Luxembourg to tax Amazon more, but the EU court of justice found the taxation to be correct.
As a user it's often also helpful to understand the context of what you're reading (as long as the site has a descriptive URL structure) - is this a blog post, featured article, sponsored article, when was it written.... a good URL conveys a lot of useful information and hiding this seems highly counterproductive.

I am also very much against hiding "www.", but that's mostly from a developer/devops perspective. https/http can be hidden behind an icon, that's fine since it's a binary option, but that's as far as I'd go in accepting stripping information from URL's.
That post is helpful, but adding a global header across a site is typically very little effort. And there's nothing in there that says it's harmful.

And I'm unconvinced on this part:

"If your website does not include JS that calls document.interestCohort(), it will not leverage Google’s FLoC. Explicitly opting out will not change this."

I try to know everything running on my site. But especially with things like a deep npm dependency chain, I know not everyone knows everything that's running on their site. Or maybe chrome will interpret an image that happens to be an IAB size as an ad. I recall a certain storage related company recently running Google Analytics on an admin page, something the tech team didn't intend to happen. But shit happens.

I think it's worth putting up, both for whatever limited help it provides, as well as a visible vote against FloC.
Superb reply
Glad you mentioned DSP so I didn't have to ;) It really feels like the perfect extension/progression, or what I imagine Factorio 2.0 would/should be. The graphics are absolutely stunning as well, which is one point that started to really turn me off of Factorio after hundreds of hours, especially on a 4K monitor... not to mention watching spaceships fly cargo around the solar system is way cooler than trains ;) Also a lot of the tedious build-up that killed my interest in restarting Factorio for the Nth time is handled IMHO much nicer, such as giving you drones from the start. I haven't played in a couple months, still waiting for blueprints, which are supposedly right around the corner. I'm also very curious what/how they plan to implement enemies...
It turns out that not all things can be known and when giving advice, you go with the best known data...which at times can be wrong. This is literally how science works. We don't always have the liberty to wait for a near certain answer.

And the experts haven't been wrong for a year and a half, the experts were working with bad or incomplete data for a few months. Their advice for the past year, wear masks, socially distance, get the vaccine, has been correct.

Actually falling is an issue with bridged grain. Even among people who will get in bins, it's widely accepted that you never go into flowing grain.
This seems like an emotional manipulation piece. It quotes various people saying various things, but there's literally nothing that indicates that any accusations of foul play are actually factually true.

Most damning: "Rettig said he could not comment on the article directly or on the tax situation of any individual. Federal employees can face prison time for improperly releasing private taxpayer data."

As for an occasional 0% tax rate: this is possible if you have enough capital losses on paper one year to offset whatever you may have owed otherwise. This could be from a variety of mechanisms, e.g. say you acquired 100 shares at $5 each 10 years ago, then another 10 at $50 2 years ago. If the shares are worth $48 now, the total portfolio is worth $5280. If you sell any 1 share you get $48 in cash, but _which_ share you sell matters for tax purposes: if you sell one you bought for $50, you incurred a $2 loss, even though you've spent $1000 in total to buy the shares and are now sitting on over $5000 dollars worth of shares (a five-fold increase in wealth).

Pure f16 overflows/underflows in many scenarios
What I'm arguing about is that there is a big assumption made prior to any judgement about models of any kind.

At any given point all you have is your singular experiential point of view -- you're reading this comment, coding, chewing your food, remembering a childhood memory, having sex or whatever. That any of this has any correspondence to anything beyond the fact that you are experiencing it at that moment is an assumption. Only then you might start reasoning about the contents. And the contents are of course subject to any brain-in-a-vat objections you might make.

Obviously you cannot live at all if you start questioning your experience at that level. But the point I'm trying to make is that that singular point of view, whatever you are experiencing, is literally all there is. Nothing ever happens, as far as you (or anyone) is concerned, that is different from a personal experience.

To continue to exist at all of course, I don't think there is any other way than what you describe, to start acting based on whatever it is that you are experiencing. But you have to take that initial step and I think being aware of it can lead to a somewhat different understanding of why you feel what you feel and in particular how culture works.
Simple truth - anything made with flour and sugar is literally poisoning you, whether quickly or slowly. Doesn't matter how much love your Nana added to the cookies; they still give you diabetes.
Yes, this is basically a mini "screw-propelled vehicle"
The problem is that the a large chunk of the population aren't scientist so they don't understand the principles of the scientific method. And they aren't software developers, they don't have the mindset for it. And have you seen the way many people drive? There is a reason why the term "defensive driving" was coined.
Uhhhh... that demo is blowing my mind. Holy crap.
Not related to Elixir, but I disagree with the last point: you should not have test assertions inside loops at all, because it makes a test less readable and the diagnosis harder when a test fails.

You shouldn’t have to unpack complexity just to understand where a test failed or whether it failed because of bad test code or bad tested code.

Once you have so much complexity that reading and mentally executing the test takes time, you should probably be writing tests of your unit tests.
You can programmatically and securely get an embed URL and even pass parameters.

There are SDKs and major framework support.

For me that’s already great. :)

> That said, I think this advice is particularly useful for people building libraries more so then people working on applications

This is a good point that I hadn't really thought about previously. I agree with your thoughts much more when I consider the different needs between libraries and applications.
Derivatives typically have mechanisms that forces them to stay pegged to the underlying asset. So it's not quite the same, even if you don't own the underlying asset. For example, perpetual futures (like those on FTX) have funding rates that vary based on price difference of the future vs underlying.
It's even worse than that, most of the coins are for creators who do not use the plotform, so the token has no use other than a brand.
My point is that we don't need to waste irreplaceable moments of our lives so heavily focused on production in service of a consumption side that is wildly out of balance. We can produce far more than we can consume, and cutting back on labor would restore some balance and arguably increase prosperity and happiness across the board.
This is a hypothetical; my post (charitably) presumes the market is safe in order to discuss other problems with it, but it could certainly be implemented in a way that allows the author to fleece the investors, which I gather is one of the complaints about Bitclout as well.
Oh I didn't realise anyone had that work. I just assumed it wasn't possible (i.e. ads served from same domain as content) and uBO was able to do it by 'content blocking' (i.e. DOM manipulation) rather than XHR blocking.

So, you're not alone, me too.
