That deal "avoids costly litigation", so say various "states' attorney generals". It's funny how those same AGs strong-arm the little people every single day, put them in jail before trial, and then offer them a choice: plead guilty, get time served, and go on your way. Or, plead not guilty, make bail, if you can, and get your ass handed to you because you can't afford a competent attorney and our judges and cops collude to make it impossible to get justice. If you can't make bail, then you will rot in jail until your first hearing, weeks from now, and you'll get an overworked public defender and get the same result. What do you choose?

The Sacklers need that kind of choice.

EDIT: The DoJ needs to confiscate their assets under current DEA assert forfeiture law, the same one the local cops use to steal from ordinary people without cause. Then arrest them. Let's see how long the litigation draws out under those circumstances.
I feel like there's an interesting irony here (on HN, not in the particular link you shared). In a thread where folks are discussing how they like/dislike how companies shutter their forums in favor of Discord, you then see how Discord themselves use a more traditional thread based tool to manage their own support site rather than using Discord itself.

Why wouldn't Discord's support site say, "Meet us in the Support Discord"?
Purdue, the company, has pleaded guilty to two crimes. Presumably there is plenty of evidence of criminal activity. The question is whether and to what extent the family members, as individuals, might be criminally (or civilly) responsible.

How to make a developer relations team work for your company
"In 2020, Facebook employees and contractors spent more than 3.2 million hours searching out and labeling or, in some cases, taking down information the company concluded was false or misleading, the documents show. Only 13% of those hours were spent working on content from outside the U.S."

> I don't know much about honor

A basic view of it is: a man keeps his promises.

What do you think of people who don't keep their promises to you? Do you congratulate them on their successful use of game theory?

If you saw a wallet with cash in it and an ID card lying on a park bench with no one else around, what do you do? Would you behave differently if it was $5, $100, $10000? Are you a man or an animal?

A few months back, there was an article in the newspaper about someone who found a very large sum of cash, in the 5 figures. He figured out who owned the money, and gave it to the owner. Then he became infuriated because the owner didn't give him a "reward" for being honest.

That's not how honor works.

What do you think of the de facto pricing of SaaS companies where they list 50$ per month (PAID YEARLY).

Almost every SaaS pricing is doing this.
At obe point few customers would write us and claim that our competitors were cheaper even though they were not.
The yearly plan of the competitor was slightly cheaper than our monthly plan. That forced us also to play that game where we added yearly plans with the pay 50$ per month (PAID YEARLY) just to not look more expensive on a superificial comparison of our customers
The fastest way to cap your career growth is to think about yourself as someone whose role is to take a spec and provide a technical solution inside that box.

Upper management values – and pays accordingly – people who go beyond that. Learn some finance, learn to mentor others, learn to talk with a customer and understand what they're really after. You'll gain trust and find that you're being pulled into things far earlier in the development pipeline, which often puts you in a place to build better products.

Hah, I don't mean to be rude but, this is what everyone claims they do, but no-one actually practices it.

The simple fact of the matter is, is that if you can't 100% solve the problem, in 30 minutes or less, without asking questions related to how to construct a solution, and cover all edge cases, and come up with the absolute top-tier optimal solution, you're getting rejected.

That is why it's worthless as an interview technique. Everyone plays this whole song-and-dance about how they "just want to see how you approach a problem you might not know how to solve" but, in the end, the only thing that matters is regurgitating the top leetcode solution to the problem.
Part of what I wanted to show with this project is that there is no such thing as an objective search engine. Even seemingly irrelevant technological decisions drastically impact the narrative.

Given how many people have been caught being exactly that stupid, why not? It's at least worth a shot.
Yep - used to work at a bank that very aggressively blocked gTLD because they had a (very stupid in this case) security-first mindset. Despite having multiple first-class URL filter products that can detect reputation and site category without needing to bother an analyst or cause a disruption.

SOCs, web filter, email filter teams and vendors all need to catch up to the 2010-era idea that carpet-blocking TLDs is not the first tool to reach for when securing a network, especially when you have a good URL filter in place.
Oh my, that's awful. Even in python there are better ways to close over a value :)

I haven't written python in many years, but in the following example it is at least clear what is going on:

def make_printer(n):
def printer():
print(n)
return printer
[make_printer(i) for i in range(2)]
There are a couple of neat tips, like "echo-ing". This is when after someone says a sentence, you simply repeat back the last word(s) they said.

"I went to the beach last weekend, read a great book!"
"You read a greak book?"
"Yeah! It was by this author etc etc..."

It feels weird when you do it, but you never notice it when someone does it to you and it always feels nice because you know they were listening to you.

Also, the #1 thing is that you should be asking questions. Being a good listener is about asking questions 90% of the time, and those questions should be related to what the person is talking about.

For the previous example, if the conversation peters out, you can just ask something easy like "What is it about reading at the beach that you love so much?"

US spending on science, space, and technology correlates with an r=0.99789126 to suicides by hanging, strangulation, and suffocation. Is that just a coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. The issue is, you hate FB so you are happy to jump to conclusions. Now, we can all agree the internet does cause harm to individuals and companies in general have a history of skirting responsibility.

And let's get real, this is not just a FB problem. If you really care about this, you have to burn a whole lot more than just FB. And it's probably going to include most internet companies. Cyberbullying is going to happen wherever teens spend most of their time on the internet.

We have important societal issues to solve. c54's comment touched on that in an insightful way. There are other things to balance here. Marginalized groups have benefited a lot from social media much like geeks benefited a lot from video games, D&D, and board games. But we don't like to talk about that because in many minds FB == the devil, and mentioning any benefit means propping up the devil. Soon we'll be talking about TikTok in the same manner.

This should be investigated but it needs to be done with an objective point-of-view. You do not have an objective point-of-view. Facebook does not have an objective point-of-view. The media definitely does not have an objective point-of-view. Let's at least try to be scientific.

Ask HN: How do you deal with front end devs being blocked waiting for back end?
When working on new products, it is often the case that most of the frontend work that needs to be done has a direct dependency on the backend functionality that it will be integrating with. But BE work takes time, obviously. During that time, I've found that FE engineers are often looking for work as they wait for the BE functionality to be delivered. Do you have suggestions for how to deal with this? Do you stagger work so that BE is ahead of FE so that FE always has stuff to work on? Do you decide on an API in place first even if it doesn't function so that FE can simply plug in with that API even if they need to use dummy/mock data for the time being?

Appreciate any thoughts.
Try a couple of books on active listening and see if you find one that you like. Then try applying what you’ve learned in real life.

Another example of manipulation in pricing is the unit of measure of DSL speed.
All ISP providers across all countries advertise their speed in Mbps which is Mega bit per second.
Now remember that 1 Byte = 8 bits.
No-one ever uses bits as unit of measure in anything yet ISP use it just to make their speed look 8x bigger than they are.
Frankly this is a form of false advertisement that spreaded quick forcing everyone to adopt it.
We had one of his op-amp home hifi kits from before his computing days. I'm not going to gloss things up here, it was shit. Noisy, bad circuit design, bad instructions.

Delivery was often fraught: he had no supply chain and always went to market before stocks built up.

Sinclair is notorious for overpromising and under delivering. The calculators were highly approximate trig functions, the Sinclair e-car was a joke.

> I wrote a note in sgi.bad-attitude about the "optimist effect", which I believe is mostly true. In condensed form:

> Optimists tend to be promoted, so the higher up in the organization you are, the more optimistic you tend to be. If one manager says "I can do that in 4 months", and another only promises it in 6 months, the 4 month guy gets the job. When the software is 4 months late, the overall system complexity makes it easy to assign blame elsewhere, so there's no way to judge mis-management when it's time for promotions.

> To look good to their boss, most people tend to put a positive spin on their reports. With many levels of management and increasing optimism all the way up, the information reaching the VPs is very filtered, and always filtered positively.
Let's presume you are correct; is they idea that they are then special in a way that PIA isn't? This is just like when your local supermarket gets purchased by a company that owns other nearby supermarkets to be folded into their brand: they want the location and the customers that visit it, not some interesting innovation they heard you have been hiding for how to run your supply chain.
There is a big difference between the local video playback and the streamed video playback on the older model. The new model seems to bring the two in line.

iPhone 12 Pro Max Video Playback: 20
iPhone 12 Pro Max Video Playback (streamed): 12
iPhone 13 Pro Max Video Playback: 28
iPhone 13 Pro Max Video Playback (streamed): 25

As far as I know, the new models are slightly thicker and have a higher capacity battery which would explain the increase from 20 to 28. However, I can't explain why streamed video playback has more than doubled. Perhaps they simply fixed a bug?

It's a big-ish US company with over 25k employees so I feel pretty confident they won't welch.

I get 57k in severance (10yrs, currently 135k / yr), 34k in bonus, and 17k in retention bonus; but if I leave early I get $0.00. This is what's tricky. I can flirt with recruiters and companies, but nobody wants workers at the beginning of next year - they want them now!

Thanks!
> Cultural war between the disgraced and disenfranchised white rural male and urban establishment elites has literally been the defining leitmotif of Trump era populism

This is certainly the impression one gets from the progressive media, but I don't think it bears out considering Trump's popularity among black and minority voters is quite high among Republican candidates in the last 20+ years. Similarly, 40% of women voted for Trump over a female candidate. Further, the media made a lot of hay making Trump out to be the scourge of immigrants (invoking lots of Nazi comparisons, esp 'concentration camps' and so on), but his policies were largely a continuation of Obama-era policies and he deported fewer immigrants than Obama.

I do agree that Trumpism opposes the cultural elite and I have many strong criticisms of Trump and his followers, but the gender/racial identity framing is entirely disingenuous.

> And let's not even get into how often Republicans have attempted to delegitimize black urban activism as domestic terrorism.

First of all, Republicans didn't deligitimize "black urban activism", they delegitimized "woke progressive activism" and the two aren't the same considering only a minority of blacks fall under the "woke progressive" monicker or support any of their policies. Woke progressives (including those in the media) try very hard to give the impression that the culture war is black vs white or male vs female, but it's largely progressives (and if anything, white progressive elites) against moderate liberals and conservatives. The racial component is small and whites and blacks and men and women share far more common ground than woke progressives would have you believe.

Secondly, per my previous post, whatever bad behavior you or I attribute to Republicans, it doesn't vindicate bad behavior by Democrats (nor do our attempts to minimize or whitewash Democratic bad behavior).
Buy a domain, use different email addresses for different mailing lists, automatically filter into different folders by To address and list headers.

From my experience, spam/abuse is more likely with addresses used with online shops (the smaller ones seem to get hacked quite often) than with mailing lists.

Think of it this way: The Linux people and many other OSS projects have no problems with mailing lists.
What would a winning endgame look like?
I think the lesson is that competence is scarce.
I secured <my last name>.name many years ago. Must have been early 2000's (.name is around for a long time). It wasn't exactly cheap and it is not one of the super cheap domains now. The registry seemed to have a relatively strict policy regarding who can own a .name (not sure if still true, haven't checked again since like 2002). So, the best preconditions to keep their space clean, it seemed...

Yet I gave up on it for the same reasons mentioned in the article: It has a terrible reputation and seems to randomly be blocked here and there.
You'll find I agree that the concept of silently spam filtering on TLD of a link is something that pisses me off.

You'll also find that calling this "censorship" as if it has to do with government action, or that it has to do with the content of the specific site, is ludicrous.

This is incompetence, not malice.
The XYZ TLD is a hotbed for spam due to it's very low fee's for purchase / renewal. The registrar was, at one point, selling massive blocks of xyz domains to foreign squatters and spam artists for quick cash. No wonder it's become blacklisted by email/cell providers.

Can anyone try `abc.xyz`? and see if that fails to send? It would be very typical for our corporate overlords to be omitted from our spam censorship filters.
They should really update the "Mission and strategy" chapter on their Wikipedia page [1]. In particular the part about "Protecting Consumers & Public Safety" seems horribly outdated!

I think the complaint is that those blogs rank higher than nuts-and-bolts recipes now. It wasn't that way a few years ago. Yes, scrolling down the results to Food Network or Martha Stewart or whatever is possible, as is going directly to those sites and using their site search, but it's noticeable and annoying.
Right and now we are in semiconductor shortages because people adopted Toyota concepts in a non-Toyota context. In the mean time, Toyota adapted their own concepts to weather the storm of semiconductor shortages, for a short while atleast.
Because business took over, and when that happens people are more focused on looking good than being good. There's also an influx of non-tech people flooding the tech world because they want to do business, which diminishes the quality of tech. This is both good and bad, depends on how you look at it.
Consolidation of the VPN industry spells trouble for the consumer

Don't change it. It's good this way.
Is OCD officially diagnosed commonly among programmers?

Highly improbable

Are aspects of OCD often correlated with the types of personalities that happen to make "good" programmers (obsessing over seemingly-unimportant details, getting caught-up in irrelevant administrivia like coding standards (and why this one is better than that one), constant perfectionism, etc)?

No doubt

But just because some traits happen to appear doesn't mean you should be diagnosed with something

Kinda like the WebMD trope... [enters list of symptoms] ... WebMD: "You may have a cold... or CANCER!!"

> I'm fine with top-quoting specific lines out of long messages, but would rather have threading capabilities when I'm replying to an entire message, so readers won't have to scroll past a second copy of the message.

That's great because mail readers have supported threading for decades. It's pretty essential for using a mailing list.

Most mail readers support it, but not Microsoft ones. Somehow they managed to ruin this simple feature. This caused Google to reinvent it in the early 2000s and announce it like it was an innovation of their own.
Believe me, I have zero desire to interact with “communities” when I am just trying to passively look up some quick information.
