Ok, so in low wage situations where workers do repetitive work independently, I agree that this could work, however even in your scenario it’s hard to see how the employer would justify taking more profit for the excess performance.

In any case, this piecework example doesn’t seem to be relevant to this forum.

Can you describe an example that would apply to programmers or other knowledge workers? What about people who work in teams?
Pelosi said Trump will be 'fumigated out' if he refuses to leave the White House. How was that supposed to happen, if not for the military. Communication between Pelosi and

Having the network boundaries be explicitly nonprivate and giving users the ability control when/where/how they negotiate the private/nonprivate boundary seems like a reasonable design choice to me. It makes the network more interoperable with nonprivate networks.

If the whole network private, then the privacy faults can only happen at its boundaries--which are places that the protocol designers have less control over. The alternative is having to wonder about what kind of identifying metadata the exchanges are leaking--and they're an easier target for an adversary.

Also, I have to imagine that the everywhere-private nature of XMR is why I don't see it on my exchange's list, while I do see ZEC there.

But I wasn't talking about that. With zero-knowledge proofs protecting the shielded transactions, your anonymity pool is essentially the entire set of people that use shielded transactions. With the Monero approach, your anonymity pool is large, but it's still a subset of the whole network.
Why unstrap? Having the seat underneath you gives you a bit of crumple and some protection from landing on something sticking up. In her case I suspect it had a lot to do with her survival--since she came down in rainforest I suspect the seat hit a lot of branches.

1. Government body says "We are considering adding full Github-flavored markdown support to Hacker News. Please establish a market on whether or not this will raise GDP by 1% over the next year."

2. People place their bets, either in the "Yes please" pool, or the "No to markdown" pool.

3. "Yes please" gets the most betting money. Betting period ends. Government decides to add markdown. People in the "No to markdown" pool get their money back.

4. If GDP does in fact go up over that 1 year, people in the "Yes please" pool make money. If not, they lose their bets.

There isn't a mechanism to make money by sabotaging GDP.
I think all the arts eventually gain a calculated precision to them, just at different stages of the process. With music, structure arrives at the very beginning: rhythm and harmonic structure have some concrete rules to make them cohere. Likewise, visual arts usually require taking measurement from a reference to build up proportionate construction; if it's a cartoon this tends to be redefined into a composite of simple mathematical ratios of primitives, while a more realistic look develops from something more measured and scientific in nature(using a proportionate divider really is lab work).

Once you get past the preliminaries, play can begin...except, you can usually return to structure by adding another layer of it. Harmonization principles in music have layers of structure to them, and "expressive" pop harmony can often be seen as a very calculated thing of crafting maximal tension and release in a short period. Likewise, you can definitely go in the direction of technical visuals, either with detailed illustration or computer renderings. Often there's a desire to digitally emulate analog workflows without literally using those workflows, which results in some additional technical considerations around achieving that.

I think this is how all content creation software eventually grows into a spaceship panel UI - even if you have a specific thing in mind for each process layer and can reduce it to a preset or template, you have to configure the software to get there.

Thanks, what a crazy story! I started it, and they mention this incident happened at 17k feet, so isn’t subject to the kind of freezing temps you’d see at cruising altitude, right? People skydive from 18k feet all the time. Haven’t finished yet because it’s long, but does it say something later about surviving cold at higher altitudes? (Edit I did hear now that it was -17C at the start before they dove lower… wild!!)

My mother spent much of her career as a COBOL programmer, dating back to the early 80s. She retired in 2015 and quickly got bored. I talked her into accepting part-time contract work, something to keep her busy. She got flooded by recruiters. They all told her the same story: "Big Corp" is nervous because a critical system runs COBOL and the staff that used to support it have all either retired or died. She decided against taking any contract work, telling me that once she retired, a switch flipped in her head - she could never go back to work, not for all the money in the world. Good for you, mom.

It feels like this is a core point that's somehow got lost here.

There's a lot of assumptions in these discussions that connections and sharing are only good and useful if the results look a certain way. People sharing dog photos: good. Sharing approved mainstream news stories: good. People posting personal politics: bad. People disagreeing with each other: also bad. Etc. But it's a purely subjective take. Maybe our society needs to talk about politics way more than it does. Historically, instead of talking there's often just been fighting, and everyone agrees that talking is far healthier.

Facebook's original working assumption was that connecting people and letting them communicate and share is inherently a valuable thing. Is that actually wrong? Clearly, there is enormous demand to discuss politics that was unleashed by the internet, whereas before then only a small number of people had the access to present their opinions to those around them via opt-in channels like TV, the press, etc. Other people had to make do with phone calls. Something once restricted to a very small group is now available to all. Unsurprisingly, the sort of people who feel ill when they see the results are those whose views are the same as those who previously had a monopoly on group communication of various kinds. The ones most engaged are the ones who feel the media ignore their worldviews.

It's pretty dangerous to just say, well, if people are arguing about stuff that the establishment wouldn't let them argue about before, then it's "toxic". It's certainly risky to blame social media as the cause rather than merely a symptom of disagreements that would be there anyway. Far better to have "toxic" social media than a revolution!

Note that the above post-quantum key exchange method was removed in OpenSSH 8.5 (released March 3, 2021) in favor of a newer one:

So if you add the previous one to your server config, sshd may fail to start after upgrading to 8.5 or newer (8.7 is the most recent release).

I started using sntrup4591761x25519-sha512@tinyssh.org about two years ago, and the new one when OpenSSH 8.5 came out. They've both worked flawlessly for me. Thank you to TinySSH and OpenSSH, and of course cryptographers, for making this possible.
"Seems to be a lot of uneasiness, of late, about the way credit is allocated in science."

This is always been the case---medieval and renaissance thinkers would publish anagrams of their key findings because they didn't want to give someone else the advantage of knowing the finding but also wanted to prove that they thought of the idea. IIRC, Isaac Newton did not publish any of his findings until someone else threatened to publish their independent results. And he's known as the creator of calculus because the British Royal Society got into an academic slap-fight with the French.
Climate change can't be avoided in the same way as a gunshot. Even if we started doing everything right tomorrow, we'd still face significant climate change, so we need people to research what the likely effects are and how we might mitigate them.

> If every company that a CEO touches is a tirefire until they are removed from day-to-day operations, is that good execution on their part?

Maybe? I think it'd be silly to claim that Tesla and SpaceX are so successful that they were able to become world class companies even under hostile leadership. They are successful in part because of their leadership, such as Gwynne as you mentioned (god bless her).

> Even when they are a liability to the company through their actions, lying to shareholders and customers?

One might argue this is even the primary purpose of a CEO, to lie and lie and keep the illusion going until the engineers have enough time to actually deliver. Tim Cook had a similar bout with Apple Maps, AirPower, and the infamous car project, but he doesn't seem to be cast in the same light as Elon with FSD.

> If Elon had ever lead a company to success of his own volition

If I may, I don't think anyone has ever lead a company to success of their own volition, so this is a false premise. You're saying that tons of other people helped make these companies succeed, but this is true for every company, even the ones that eventually fail.

Elon is a complicated character and he's certainly not a saint, but he is at the very least involved in these companies, and while they are doing well he deserves at least some credit for selling a vision that excites investors and customers and keeps the lights on. As I learn more about the business world, I'm beginning to see that a lot of tech CEOs have a similar social function to rockstars: they get crowds to feel ecstasy and hope and headbang to the music while skilled operators in the background sell merch, records, and deals.

It's kinda weird to make such strong claims based on a processor which nobody has used, based on vague numbers in the product announcement for a low-end iPad. Is it that the new iPad mini's A15 is comparable to an A14 because the A15 isn't any more powerful, or is it because Apple decided how powerful they wanted the iPad mini to be, and slowed down the processor to that, to conserve power. Who even knows?

Ironically, most modern C++ code I wrote was not for Microsoft, but a much smaller company that is not in any way involved in ISO C++ standardization process. It was due to that company culture - senior engineering leadership (which were also the founders) were all big standard C++ fans, and they wrote much of the original codebase.

Large companies like MS often have codebases that are so ancient (e.g. HRESULTs and IF_ERR_GOTO type macros everywhere), they only get modernized very gradually if at all.
The EU sprays grant money around like candy. They'll fund more or less anything that appeals to academic sensibilities - at the scale it subsidizes things there's no time to consider the impact on political strategy.

This one was pitched as, "a European initiative for a Human Internet that respects the fundamental values of privacy, participation and diversity". So the EU would have just seen the buzzwords "privacy" and "diversity" and said great, have some money.
I’m a regular folk that currently uses epik (just as a domain host). We (actually a volunteer who donated our domain name to us) registered with them like 12 years ago.

Um, can anyone recommend another domain host? EDIT: transfer initiated.
> This doesn't really exist. What people want is the most they can get, and this will make them as happy as is possible in the market.

Well I think it does exist. You can be happy with what you have regardless of what others have, can you not? Otherwise you're doomed to unhappiness, unfortunately.

> It's not illogical or irrational to not be happy with being paid less than you could be paid doing the same job

Agreed, it's not illogical or irrational, but it is sub-optimal if one is concerned with being happy with what they have rather than comparing against external entities and adjusting happiness downward unnecessarily.

> treat employees like fools

I don't think it's backward or disrespectful to ask someone what would make them happy and then give it to them.

I think it would be illogical to say "I want to make more than, or just as much as, anybody else doing what I do". Actually, I think maybe it's emotionally childish, rather than illogical. Not that I've never though that way myself. It's just that from a personal growth perspective, I don't think it's a mentality that leads to happiness in the long run.

> All deterministic software does this.

That stands to reason, yet much software is decomissioned or replaced every year. All of it deterministic software. Perhaps the software is expensive to maintain or use, doesn't adequately meet the needs of the business, is error-prone, or any one of a million reasons.

COBOL works at the heart of our industry and our society, despite COBOL being an ancient crufty language. In the same way that may of us never see our hearts or become heart surgeons, I may never meet a COBOL program or a COBOL programmer. I am still thankful they are there, and I recognize they serve a function other software likely would not.
This is why we need a flat tax system. There are far too many tax loopholes. Everyone pays 25% tax on everything and leave it at that.

I find it pretty eye-opening that Biden would rip the military out of Afghanistan and deal with those consequences including loss of human life, and yet be too afraid to get rid of the carried interest loophole.
I am happy if I am paid what my labor is worth. I accept being paid slightly less, because the entity purchasing my labor needs to make a profit.

I am not happy if I am paid significantly less — essentially this means that my employer has found a way to arbitrage my labor, and instead of sharing this information (and the value I create) they've decided to simply pocket the difference.
SpaceX did the same thing.

They took a very complex system (rockets) that was custom-made and had to be extremely reliable. And then they looked at every component and tried to re-engineer it to optimize for costs. And they have been hugely successful doing it.
Ugh. Sounds horrible.
As far as I know, Debian does not have any strict policy or dates for when they will stop building and publishing OpenJDK 11 binaries out of the jdk11u branch in the OpenJDK project.

The jdk11u branch [1] (the source code) is currently steward by Red Hat, SAP employees and other contributors, and both Red Hat and SAP have a support roadmap, which currently goes until at least 2023 (SAP) [1] and 2024 (Red Hat) [2].

So, Debian is not providing an LTS binary. Debian is producing binaries out of the source code maintained by others. Once jdk11u stops receiving updates, Debian also stops shipping updates, because Debian has no LTS commitment.

Can you think of a transparent way to measure developer productivity?
Also worked in lab diagnostics for quite a while. You're correct about the process. I'd add that the only particularly expensive piece of hardware along the chain is the light detection at the end. Sure, you need high precision pumps to dispense reagents & sample accurately, but if you're not running at industrial scale, those aren't that hard to DIY. And, of course, some reagents will be expensive as you said.

On the machines we built, the reaction products bound to a light-emitting material and we used photomultiplier tubes to measure the light output at the end. I believe this is more sensitive than the occlusion/scattering methods in the article. The problem is that PMTs are pretty expensive to buy new and their calibration needs to be checked periodically.

I have wondered if it would be possible to make a cheaper version using large-area PIN diodes, or with lenses to collect as much light as possible. Never saw any research being done in this area though.
