More a requirement at this point. Discord had to crack down on malicious bot developers after some decided to log essentially every bit of information ever sent to them to be put on the internet, including information from private channels. Some scopes require this verification outright now.
I remember reading like circa ~2013 about how cryptocurrencies could usher in a new kind of bank, whereby the bank would publish the BTC addresses it used. Then the public could decide for themselves on the stability/solvency of the bank based on how much reserves were found in these addresses, and then they could also see what was coming into and leaving the bank.

Of course the whole idea relied on trusting the bank to publicly release all of the addresses it uses. And I forget the exact problem is was supposed to help address, but it was something along the lines of like, no one really knows how exposed banks are, except for themselves and the regulators, and even then, bank regulation and stability was akin to a black box.
That would make me frown. Just saying.

My opinion is the balance of the evidence shows that Cobb played within the rules, but he certainly took advantage of his reputation of being dirty to make steals that other players might not have succeeded in.

Gaylord Perry (clearly not the most neutral party) claimed the something similar about his Vaseline ball; he said that he got a lot of psychological advantage by pretending to doctor the ball by overtly reaching for odd places before the delivery.

Perhaps I should revise my earlier comment to point out the long tradition of gamesmanship in baseball. If you get a (deserved or not) reputation for cheating, how legitimate is it to use that for gamesmanship? In baseball, doing so seems to be clearly part of the culture.
LCOE by Lazard:

Solar : $36 / MwH

Onshore wind : $40 / MwH

Nuclear : $164 / MwH

It's pretty much in line with the capital costs.

If you look at the figures provided by the Nuclear Energy Agency nuclear is very competitive though.
And they can get it easily. I think if a lot of seniors started looking at their pay compared to new hires they would realize that they are severely underpaid right now.

Unfortunately the trend right now seems to be companies bulking up on expensive, lower quality talent hoping it has more upside potential.

I think if you can't offer at least $90k with a significantly great benefits package you are really going to struggle.

You're talking about a group of people that can just sit at home for two months grinding Cracking The Code Interview as an alternative to your job offer and land FAANG employment at a 3x-4x multiple of what you're balking at paying.

How much savings for that 5 months?
I have the tempo.fit - It's a giant video screen with camera that does exactly this. It's a great piece of kit.
In the US if the health insurance issue could be taken off the table the rate would be even much higher.
Wow, that's a lot of gold. I prefer something akin to the 60/40 approach. Then again I'm decades away from retiring. I might become more conservative as the day I start needing that money draws near.
Weworkremotely just seem to be targeted at "web"-devs judging by filter categories (fullstack, backend, frontend). Is those positions maybe easier to do remotely?
Understood, but your expenses as a student are also unlikely to be very high, especially if your parents are covering rent/medical/etc, especially if you're comparing to SWEs in SV.
There's a thick line between _putting an out-and-out fake job on your resume_ and _embellishing_ a little bit to optimize your profile.
So... not the case in Germany. You don't need to be employed or in social programs, you can just pay money. In Germany it's a fixed amount, less than you would pay if you had income, and they can't refuse you.

I know to a European this might sound like the only two options, but pre-Obamacare, and very possibly again if the US can't get its shit together, it was impossible to buy health insurance no matter how much money you had for a large number of unemployed or self-employed people.
Terraform 1.0 takes DevOps to Multicloud
My point is that given enough contortion or reduction, one can apply any real life strategy to almost any strategy game.

In the first example of controlling the middle vs the edges, well, there are chess openings with the strategy of explicitly giving up the center. A reply in a different chain on this post mentions these, known as hypermodern openings.

It does sound like a good book since I'm a fan of history, chess, and go, so I'll give it a read.

A $900K net worth is not enough to FIRE in my estimation. $36K/yr with the need to still buy housing is spartan and/or risky with a 60-year outlook.
When is the best time to give the code liver oil to a kid?

(Or maybe it does not matter) but I read multiple suggestions: in the morning after breakfast or at least 1-2 hours _before_ a meal or at least 1-2 hours _after_ a meal.

Can you please share when do you give this? ( I am assuming that you have a better tradition/understanding of this)
I think you are thinking too narrowly. It is true that a simple transfer from one wallet to another can't be reversed through technical means (though I'm interested in seeing how the law on this develops, for instance whether the legal system will compel wallet owners to pay back assets under threat of real-world non-crypto consequences if they don't), but you certainly can set up an escrow system where the keys to the escrow account are held by a "court" which can come to consensus on one participant retrieving funds from another participant under some set of rules and circumstances. This is more complex and fraught to get right than just direct wallet transfers, which I'm sure is why it isn't common (or maybe doesn't exist at all, I'm not sure), but it's also not impossible.

I was wondering if https://musclewiki.com/ was going to pop up. My wife had just sent it to me earlier this week.

It lets you pick gender, muscle group, exercise type (stretch, bodyweight, barbell, dumbbells, kettlebells) and has detailed instructions and videos. (It does not have sets/reps like the shared site.) Perhaps they would be good to use in tandem.

Personally, I think for sets/reps, it follows most exercise advice. Choose what you'll actually do. If that's 3 sets of 5 reps, fine. Do that. If you can get yourself to consistently do more than that over time, you'll benefit from the increase in volume. (When I'm active, I follow Starting Strength style - increase warm-up weight while decreasing reps; then a bunch of working weight sets.)
I always hear this line of thinking, but there aren’t ever supporting examples presented. Stripe reminds me of Cloudflare. Cloudflare is over 5x what it was at IPO (as of 6/14/21). Maybe what you describe is the case “on average” for most IPOs, but it seems to not be the case for extraordinary companies like Cloudflare (and maybe Stripe). Obviously just an n of 1 but I’m sure others could chime in with similar examples.
I'll give my SSN to a healthcare provider, and maybe a bank. Random vendor using Stripe? Probably not.

Edit: to be a little less flippant, what is an example of a Stripe user to whom you would be comfortable giving your SSN?
I've worked with Romanians, and have been quite impressed.

I've heard good things about Polish teams.

I've seen some truly God-awful, unmaintainable code, though, and have heard many outsourcing horror stories.

In my experience, good engineers can command good salaries; wherever they are. I think that we will actually see engineers in India and Vietnam getting a lot more money for their work, because they are just plain good engineers, and they will be able to stand out a great deal more. This remote economy will give them some real opportunities.

It's pretty hard to keep a good [wo]man down; no matter where they are.
I've done about a 10 mo break after my first job and after my second and it has never been an issue with employment. You're overestimating how much hr and hiring managers care.

> I've never seen any SMS system that would correctly interpret and adjust to things like "not during work hours" or "consolidate weekly" responses.

I know!! I built a stupid simple bot for myself that just reminds me of things I want in SMS form... I text it things like 'For tomorrow - x, y, z' and then 9am the next day it messages with what's behind '-'...

There's a bit of configuration the first time you text the bot, for timezones and things like what does tomorrow afternoon mean to me? 2pm or 3pm? If multiple 'tomorrow afternoons come' do you want that as a digest or just individually, or w/e.

But for me, I love it because I forget things so quickly, so as I quickly as I can send a text, I can get reminded at an appropriate time. (and yes, I hate reminder apps.)

I'm still struggling how to keep it 'safe' - because Twilio keeps all the message data in plain text (more a byproduct of SMS) and holds a record of it, so while I can encrypt the db entries, I'm not sure how to make it 'secure' for other folks yet.
I'm seeing a lot of colleagues leaving for substantial raises. But I've also noticed that we've been hiring a lot of entry-level folks. Not sure if we can extrapolate that industry-wide, but I suspect we can.

There are a lot of cities in the USA with an underpaid, but experienced workforce. While you might not find these offers to be competitive, someone from Springfield making $65k would absolutely jump at a $95k offer, even if that's still pretty well below the median national salary.
Because currently fresh uranium is cheaper than reprocessing spent fuel. Further, to really close the fuel cycle and get the full benefits of reprocessing you need breeder reactors, another technology that exists and is proven to work, but with current Uranium prices isn't yet competitive with thermal reactors and a once-through fuel cycle.
Token (Railway Signalling)
I totally agree. I have no idea what's happened to the stock market over the past week and I'm at peace with that. If the market goes up, I have more money. If the market goes down, it means I'm getting a better deal with my per-paycheck investment transactions. I recently finished When Genius Failed, which is a great book that further convinced me to stick with my lazy approach.

Generally, that less code means relying on someone else's code which depending on the circumstance could be a bigger liability.
How much does it cost to build pumped hydro storage/generation though. I’d bet it’s still cheaper than the long term costs of storing nuclear waste.
Bizarre comment. British isles is a geographic term, which is correct in this case.

No one for a moment is suggesting that because of that you have to drink tea or invent the computer or anything else that is considered British.

I dunno, "losing" a Yubikey Nano would be a lot easier and more believable than "losing" a laptop that you are known to carry about. In terms of plausibility, I'd favour the key being "lost" over the device.

Also, if you have a backup key somewhere, you haven't lost any data or your machine.
If all this were true, there would be no reason for the U.S. to want to double tariffs on Canadian lumber: https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/lumber-price...

This is purely protectionism, and keeps lumber prices artificially high. (Mind you, the reverse is true in the dairy industry with the trade barriers that Canada imposes.)
I'd put Twilio and Cloudflare in the same category for vision (expanding product offering) and execution.
Do you think there's an opportunity in shoes too? Probably less variance, but I wonder if you can deliver still positive impacts.
Does Discord only allow bot developers from Stripe Identity's supported countries to verify? Stripe is only supported in 44 countries[1], and Stripe Identity seems to support 56 (by counting options in the select dropdown in [2]), so that leaves out a lot of countries.

There is currently a wild and IMMENSE disconnect from worker attitudes to beliefs about worker attitudes, and I don't know why.

Largely because business owners are pushing the "$300/month is making everybody lazy" narrative. There doesn't appear to be much evidence it's true, at least not to the extend business owners would have us believe.
There’s nothing strange about going to a restaurant alone. Or a movie. Or a play, concert, etc.

“Is this work so valuable for public health that it outshines the risk to public health in doing it?”

The people doing this know nothing about security and that’s the real problem. They can’t hope to assess risks they do not understand, questions about security, not science. Moreover, most of the science experts have conflicted interests that will cause them to downplay valid security concerns.

Looks great!
Compare:

function(x) { x += 1; }
function(o) { o.x += 1; }

The first one behaves like passing by value, the second like passing by reference.

Under the hood the `Number` x may have been passed by reference and changed by creating a copy, or it may have been JITed to be an i32 actually passed by value, or optimized out of existence entirely. How it is actually passed ends up being an implementation detail that you can't observe from high-level perspective.
It is worth noting that software salaries are artificially inflated HEAVILY due to a general unwillingness or lack of interest in hiring overseas developers.

The second this changes, the bottom drops out of software.

I don't know if it will ever happen that big companies begin openly accepting overseas applicants but if/when it does, you can expect that it wont be for 100k. Suddenly when you consider the entire planet, there's no longer a shortage of developers, and the employer has all the power.
These databases already exist. For example, all driver's licenses issued in a state are part of the public record, and many companies already maintain databases of them. For example, you can sign up for an account with the NY DMV that allows you to search all DMV records, as long as your use falls within one of a dozen permissible use-cases (including "To verify the accuracy of information submitted by the individual to the business"). Identity documents are designed to be verifiable, which in this case generally precludes them from being secret

I would like to specifically talk about Warren Buffett.

If we can determine whether we agree or disagree about whether Warren Buffett is more or less virtuous than the average billionaire, then we can have a productive conversation.
Thanks for the feedback! Yes I am planning to do all of this. :)
The US dollar is backed by a large military and nuclear weapons. I don't get these people who are always saying "it's backed by nothing".
it's this very fact, that bucking the normative or bucking the convention within an organization is why I've always argued for "assholes" or disruptive types who can back up their attitude with what they can bring to the office.

People value cohesiveness, those who play ball. People will talk about the "constructive ways" to contribute but the reality is there becomes a lot of social and professional peer pressure to stay in line and often doing things hte "nice way" but continues the status quo and gets you ignored, overlooked, or worse - walked all over and ostracized. It takes someone not giving two shits, to change paradigms within a corporate culture.

That means people hard to get a long with. It means someone who more rigid and conservative management types don't want to tolerate. It means the "everyone holds hands and get along" leftist hipsters don't want to tolerate them.

Corporate culture enforces extreme compliancy to the group, in almost evey company.

People who play nice and are competent are necessary for smooth operations, but disruptive types who may even be accused of being "toxic" (as long as they have skillsets, judgement and insight) are also necessary. A company can't be filled wikth these types.

But filled with the polite hivemind? They're prone to stagnation.
unknown_error

I'm sorry but the "its only $10/year, the boss can pay for it" argument is complete BS.

That "its only $10/year" multiplied by how many employees ? It soon adds up.

Then we move into the same BS "only $10/year" argument that charities use when they are asking you to donate "only $5" or that Disney+ uses when it says its "only $10/month".

The "only $5" to the charity and the "only $10/month" to Disney+ is ON TOP OF all the other household expenses. So really, you are foolish to buy into the "its only" school of nonsensical argument.

So we soon find ourselves in an exponential situation. One day we say "yes, the boss will pay $10/year for this" .... roll forward a few weeks then its "oh, just another $10/year for that" ... etc. etc. ... multiplied by X employees .... soon equals $$$$.

That's why a good boss is one who is capable of standing their ground and putting that line in the sand.

Otherwise the overheads soon run away from you and you find yourself spending tens of thousands of dollars a year on "but its just $10" non-essential stuff.

Basic business good practice.

OFTC already had a significant kernel dev presence, so a lot of us in this niche gravitated towards there. The broader open source community definitely skewed more towards Libera, though. Which is fine, diversity is good!
The "British Isles" is a geographic term encompassing Great Britain and Ireland, plus some smaller islands.
Just look at how many revisions the W3 spec has had. It had even more churn that wasn't visible there... IIRC it originally shipped with synchronous audio decoding on the main thread for some reason. Chrome has also shipped multiple p0/p1 level bugs in Web Audio that users had to wait weeks or months for fixes to, like a while back when they introduced a priority inversion while rewriting their whole mixer so audio was just completely broken for a double-digit % of their userbase.

They also treated basic use cases like 'pause a piece of playing audio' as out of scope, which is simply bizarre.

Every web app or port I've ever touched had issues caused by the poor design and quality of the API.
Regarding the argument that nuclear power plants "always work", I would like to point out that in France, a lot of them are built next to rivers and use river water for cooling.

Except in summer, when the water in the rivers becomes too warm to be effective in cooling. As far as I recall, a while back, during a really hot summer in Europe, the power output of French nuclear plants went down a lot.

As global warming progresses, this kind of problem is probably going to become more common.
>All of these make it real hard to compare viewpoints with a proper reference frame and even treatment.

The thing I look for in good political writing isn't objectivity, which is mostly fictional, but an honest centering of perspective. This has two parts to me - a clear declaration about what the author thinks is the right answer and a commitment to making sure any opposing viewpoints are given as the holders of them would give them before being attacked. Like...I do think the US Republican party is not serious about many of their stated concerns, but I think it's easiest to see that when you contrast their stated views with their mostly political action.

This can get a little distasteful with racist or other hateful views, but there's no need to go into detail with the views of the groups you are writing against. You just need to describe them in a way they can recognize before you tear them apart.

So I guess I do not think good writing requires even treatment - it just requires demonstrating that you have understood what your opponents have said before you move to disagree with it. So, so, so much writing in US politics takes place between commentators who, for all appearances, have no real understanding of what their opponents want or why they might want it.
What's the reason for all of this?
> It’s not really a “trend”

> As more commerce moves online

It is very much a trend and that is very much what you are describing. The problem with identity verification is

a) Business that have no business requesting them do so. Linkedin, Google, Facebook does this when they suspect you are a bot. But if you have been a long time user, they hold your account with your personal data as hostage. You cannot delete your account if you object to providing your official documents.

b) There is very little legal protection if companies (not saying Stripe will) use your official documents to build an extremely detail online profile of you. Its all based on trusting what these companies say.
