Hey qnsi!

I am leading BizDev at Payflow, I joined due to ethical reasons & social impact. Happen to be that I am southamerican and pretty familiar with people living paycheck to paycheck.

The reason why they are better off is because we are the only alternative that is free for them:
Credit cards, loans, etc are not zero-rate. Far from that a loanshark can charge up to 3000% for a short term loan in LATAM.

We are bringing employers into the game, to actually do something and pay so that their employees get the zero-rate that is so popular for high income workers through their cards or banks.

What reduces your purchasing power is financial expenses, not accessing your money earlier.

We won't solve every money problem, but at least we are solving some and reducing low income workers exposure to predatory finance.

Hope you appreciate my answer, it was 100% sincere.
Fede :)
I've never been to either side of Hispaniola, but I have been to Vanuatu and have made the same observation about French colonial culture. I fully expect New Caledonia to go down the same path if it finally gets a yes on the next independence referendum.

I'm still thinking that any bigger taxation could decrease potential risk taking and/or investments into new potentially innovative avenues. Maybe there could be a golden taxation point that's higher than it is now, but I also think it's definitely possible that it would work out worse overall for everyone.

If there's 1000 to 3 ratio, the things small group of people could organize to build would be far off what individuals could start with today.

If a single individual who has a good idea, they would have to convince many more people that the idea is good in order to be able to proceed with it.

Also, why does it even matter that much what Jeff's net worth specifically is? Unless he's wasting that money or using that to purposely destroy the world, it just exists as a number and if it was divided between people, it would only increase prices of everything and we probably would be back where we started. And it would only benefit the world if the people the money was divided with would use the money more wisely as opposed to Jeff.

If they can't get over 1000 to 3 ratio or certain ratio, because of the taxes, why would those folks just not rest on their laurels?

It depends on what you are reading they could be different ways to read based on the type of content. When I have to understand something complex while reading I usually use the student teacher pattern where when I try to explain it to myself while I'm reading and grasping and try to question myself.
Both Objective C and C++ can call things that use the C ABI. Rust code ships in real products on those platforms.
AMD SME protects against physical access attacks. To my knowledge no process-based enclave solution was presented by AMD based on SME.
Instead AMD went the route of VM-based enclaves in the form of SEV. Intel is following this direction with TDX.
The concept of VM-based enclaves is slightly different and trades a larger Trusted-Computing-Base (TCB) for better lift-and-shift.
You could run unmodified Go applications in your SEV/TDX VM so there is no need for EGo in this context.
Potentially we'll add attestation features for SEV/TDX for our enclave- and client-libraries that are part of EGo.
Here is a (slightly outdated comparison) of SGX and SME/SEV: https://caslab.csl.yale.edu/workshops/hasp2018/HASP18_a9-mof...

Some forums add some kind of non-linearity by adding comments to posts

this way you have linear main topic and offtopic "sub topics" in comment chains under posts.

But I think that tree has some cons, namely - it creates/allows to have many sub discussions in one thread, meanwhile forum's linear model force everybody to follow the same discussion instead of groups.

It depenends when one model is better than the other - in thread called "Linux vs Windows" tree is better, because there's going to be a lot of sub discussions, but in technical thread I'd rather have linearity.

>Forums ain't it - of the ones I've been on, all considered replying to a week-old conversation as "necroposting"[4].

It's up to the community.

I've seen it done healthly e.g decade old posts are in fact "necroposting", but one year old not.

>>It's just the level assets for the most part

Yes, that's the copyrighted bit. It doesn't really matter how you use those assets, as long as you're doing that without the permission of the copyright holder, that's not allowed.

Again, I don't think this project will or should be in trouble due to this - just that as copyright law stands currently, this particular usage is not allowed.
Road tolls are the best way to allocate a road's bandwidth, in my opinion. Every road should be tolled, dynamically (which already happens on highways near Seattle).

I do not see any other solution to preventing gridlock in the face of insatiable demand, if that is the goal. A growing population will chew threw however many lanes get added to a road.
My workplace raises this issue as well for hiring. They went so far as to say you should not look at degrees, university that one went to, GitHub projects, etc.

The problem is that if you want to pay for a quality engineer those are things that signal quality.

Many people didn't have time to go to university because of caregiver duties. Many could not afford to go to university, but it's still a huge and reliable signifier of quality. The same can be said of previous jobs. Not every candidate could do a job with a reputable company because those require more work (think Amazon) and your off-job duties might conflict with that.

In the end, you are going to discriminate against someone for some circumstance of their life if you screen resumes at all. There needs to be a balance but you can't throw out an entire metric because some people don't have time to participate in it.

EDIT: I want to point out I have a lot of family responsibilities. I live with my parents and got married young so I was never as single and as free as my colleagues. I still don't think it makes sense to ignore a person's resume because others may not have had the chance to have as nice a resume.
Almost none low income workers have access to a zero-rate credit card with credit limit available and zero annual fees.

Besides that unpaid balance carries interest.

The idea is to de-risk by bringing their employers into the equation :)
Insane right? If that statement were true imagine what that must mean, 37 out of "a random selection of" 67 phones infected... (because the statement implies the 67 are a random selection from all phones worldwide).

I mean the road argument is really reaching here. Roads are never subsidized fairly. My neighbor doesn’t pay any extra for their huge pickup truck that generates a lot more wear on the roads day to day than my bicycle.

I’d rather subsidize the cost of delivery trucks than people’s massive personal trucks, at least I can order things and get some benefit from delivery trucks.
Replying to myself... I wonder what book that was. It was a large slim hardback published sometime in the 1970s, around A4, so much earlier than the 1987 book. I don't have any course materials any more.

As I recall, they argued that making a change in the requirements specification was ~10 times cheaper than finding and fixing a bug while writing the implementation, which in turn was ~10 times cheaper than fixing it after delivery, ie. on other people's production computers at other site. There was some argument around it, but the text didn't imply exactness, as far as I can remember.
I do the same -- I take good notes explaining things in a way that make sense to me, so I have personalized study material for when I inevitably forget three months from now what I read.
> Day to day, for most people in most cases

Releasing Org-Roam v2
Sorry to hear. Can't offer much advice, I am in similar shoes.

We are doing everything we can, aren't we? I mean, we work, we try to socialize out there. Something has gotta give.

For me, music helped. I submersed my self into music, collecting many instruments, learning to play them etc. I can pass the time when I'm alone.

Another fine exercise could be to think of what could be worse? So what if you can't find any social circle? Sure, it's sad but not the end of the world. My current strategy is do what's expected to socialize but not try super hard. Don't do online dating if it makes you uncomfortable for example. Hope things turn out better.
I see their point - I think weapon sales (like Pegasus) should be regulated but blaming the company is kind of silly. It's exactly like blaming Colt for weapon sales.

Should weapon sales be regulated? Sure.
Is NSO regulated by both the Israeli and US government? Sure.

Are those governments doing a good job regulating NSO? No.

Is the poor job of their regulation causing people to get hurt and NSO is complicit? Yes.

The solution in this case is to regulate selling Pegasus as strictly as selling weapons like the F-35 rather than like an AR-15.
Provably incorrect comments get upvoted on Reddit all the time. Happens a lot on subs about X where the post involves Y, and somebody says something very authoritatively about Y that is just wrong.
Yeah, I think we generally agree. You see some people talking about solar and battery storage as if it makes (or is intended to make) each home self-sufficient, when the reality is that homes with solar and batteries that are also connected to the grid is the mainstream future.

Solar installs on e.g. remote mining sites are already starting to conplement and then edge out diesel generators so there are off grid use cases but if you have a grid then the most efficient thing is to use it in most cases.

But outlying customers in sunny areas are almost certainly going to benefit financially and in terms of reliability if the grid encourages them to install PV and batteries that talk to and work with the grid. Whether a grid owner will actually be incented to do so is a different question.

A properly configured Defender ATP instance in a network is a beast to circumvent for attackers. It's a really nice piece of software as far as I'm concerned.

Defender on personal systems owned & maintained by a knowledgeable power user, maybe less useful.

Still, Defender ATP in the corporate environment is so much, much more than just an anti-virus scanner. There its primary functionality is EDR first, anti-virus distant second. And it works phenomenally.
This is true, it isn't really possible to get a near instantaneous real-time feed of every single charge from all of the different AWS services you may be using, because they are all unrelated and do their logging / billing differently. IE EC2 will scrape and upload your iptables data-usage info to s3 and then that will get scraped and generated into a daily billing/money report etc, and there are thousands of things such as this between all of AWS services.

This likely will just alert you somewhat quickly after something has spiked and been running for a number of hours/day, most likely.

> I think it's important to be able to have controversial debates in real life, as body language and audience response seems to keep people from being truly awful.

This sort of works, but it also disproportionately empowers psychopaths who are not vulnerable to social moderation and in fact can abuse it against other people.

The people who are good at winning debates in real life mostly constitute the politician class, who are A) usually pretty psychopathic B) seemingly pretty unconstrained by moral censure.

The internet is cool because it kind of makes everyone into a psychopath (because there’s no emotional connection), so actual psychopathic political types don’t have any advantage over normal people.

It would be better if you could create a community where no one was a psychopath but I’m not sure this is possible at scale, or even at all.
To some people I know, a "glass of water" means a small glass about 200 ml, to others it's 500+ ml. Also, how much power does one "house" draw?

But it's moot, the point is not that you should take away "826 years" from the article, just "a very long time". Perhaps they should have written "hundreds of years" instead of creating a false sense of precision.
> How would two pieces moving to the same square be resolved?

I'd say that the one that has traveled the longest distance wins, and captures the piece that started closer.

(My implicit mental model is that both pieces "depart" from their home squares at the same time and travel at a constant rate, so the closer piece arrives at an empty square, while the more distant piece arrives second and captures the first-arriving piece. This may also encourage more dynamic play)
Something like that for YouTube would be nice also, I miss so many videos from channels I'm subscribed to because they don't show everything in your New feed. I would gladly pay $12/year for a service that does that and maybe a few other obviously useful features (tagging, attaching private comments, subscribing to friends public archives, etc).

>"For example: the fired professor was propagating conspiracy theories about Seth Rich."

That the COVID virus leaked from a lab was branded as a conspiracy theory - until now all of the sudden it isn't.

Censorship is a "cure" far worse than the problems it purports to fix. Even worse is using such flimsy pretexts to FIRE someone.

That people are so casual in accepting ruining peoples live's for simply having the wrong GROUPTHINK is utterly mind boggling to myself. Sadly the "smarter" one seems to think they are the more susceptible they seem to be in rationalizing away any concerns that should be firing off in their little heads.

The TPM chip has a builtin key that you, as the device owner is not allowed to read. That key is certified by the manufacturer.

For people worried that governments will one day start mandating the use of "approved" operating systems, this will no doubt be reassuring, as it means Linux distros will be able to apply for inclusion on the whitelist.

> Containers never solved the permission model. They solved the packaging and idempotency problem

Disagree. Containers are primarily about separation and decoupling. Multiple services on one server often have plenty of ways to interact and see each other and are interdependent in non-trivial ways (e.g. if you want to upgrade the OS, you upgrade it for all services together). Services running each in its own container provides separation by default.

OTOH, containers as a technology has nothing to do with packaging, reproducibility and deployment. Just these changes arrived together (e.g. with Docker) so they are often associated, but you can have e.g. LXC containers that can be managed in the same way as traditional servers (by ssh into a container).
Additionally,the original Smalltalk "Blue Book" ("Smalltalk-80: The Language and its Implementation") is well written and can be a good introduction.

Young Talent Isn’t Following the Money to Wall Street
YMMV on that one, especially if you travel with others. I rented a nice apartment just outside the center of raleigh for about $115/night including fees. it had a full kitchen, living room with futon, and two bedrooms. I really doubt we could have booked comparable accommodations for three people at anything like that price in a hotel.

Only if politically and economically convenient. I've seen people openly condoning torture and rape as long as they happen to unsympathetic victims. The subreddits fostering this behavior won't get banned unless it threatens reddit's advertising. In practice it means only politically incorrect communities get banned.

> I'm shocked that it's as high as 25%. Why would anyone say yes to this prompt? What do you have to gain?

There have been plenty of studies and I've even done my own studies. Most people don't read prompts. Most people don't even register consciously that a prompt even appeared. They have gotten so used to clicking through prompts that they have become blind to them.

Prompts are the wrong way to do almost anything, unless the user is expecting the prompt to appear.
Resident of Washington, DC, here. When we moved into the city, a friend of my father's--both men had lived in DC in the 1950s--resident in Arlington said dire things. Now, parts of Arlington are great, and in other parts of Arlington gangs were going after each other with machetes. I cannot say that my part of DC is as safe as I'd like, but a lot of suburbanites--including some who could throw a football across the city line--have a pretty lurid picture.
I once ordered NaK, a sodium-potassium alloy that looks like mercury, but will catch fire if exposed to the air. It’s like potassium metal but worse because it’s liquid.

I bought some for a project in the lab, then just disposed of it. Wasn’t worth the risk and found an alternative.

> How do you avoid treating such candidates unfairly?

To be frank, the job of a hiring decision-maker isn't to treat candidates fairly, it's to hire the best fit for the role based on the available signals. It's the job of the candidate to send the best signals they can, however they go about doing that. One thing we'll probe for in our interviews with more experienced candidates is what kind of experience/lessons they have from their former employers, for example, and that can weigh in their favor if there's conceivable overlap with what we're doing.

But I would say don't give any single signal undue weight. Side projects are nice, but not mandatory. Heck, we've even hired people who bombed our programming test because they did okay in the post-test interview (where we'll usually see if they can work out where their solution failed).
FWIW (and iirc), with programs using recent-ish glibc, you will never see a call to open() in the wild unless the program takes special care to bypass the implicit libc wrapper. glibc will transparently convert these calls to openat() under its own hood. I do notice that this probably doesn't do you any good on FreeBSD, though :)
It’s pretty common sense. Underground breaks cost more to fix because you have to dig the line up both to find the problem and fix it. Above ground problems are visible while underground problems are invisible.

Not to mention that above ground lines have slack between poles while underground lines are pulled relatively taut. Any shifting in the ground is going to result in a break underground before a break above ground. Above ground lines are also better founded because the poles are sitting on foundations or driven deep so their ability to resist ground motion is a bit better while electric lines move with the ground around them pretty much in sync. This is particularly important in seismically active areas like CA but underground infrastructure actually typically performs better in actual seismic events.
Simple thought experiment for NSO...

Has anyone successfully used your software to drive their kids to school?
