Antiviral Molnupiravir Reduces Risk of Hospitalization/Death by ~50 Percent
> Supervisory managers brandishing Agile + endless meetings

I've never understood why programmers in these kinds of environments don't shop around.

(Acknowledgement that in our industry we're immensely privileged to be able to do this, but emphasizing that it is very doable)

I've had four different tech jobs, and none of them have been like the one described here. At most of them we've done "casual agile" where we do standup and tickets and sometimes a retro or planning meeting, but we don't take any of it too seriously.

At my current job (and my previous two) my product manager acts as a filter from upper management, negotiating and processing requirements into a form that we can handle and work with. My engineering manager (and my previous one) checks in on my mental health and makes sure I'm neither under- nor over- utilized. At one point I tried to work late on something and they gently asked me not to. I've been asked at several junctures whether I'm happy with what I'm working on or would be more happy doing a different kind of task (happy == motivated == productive and not burning out). All of my engineering managers have also previously been engineers. Both my prod and engineering managers (and again, my previous ones) act as team members who have their own responsibilities; there is no hubris or lording around or micro-managing. The only time I've experienced that was at a past job when I temporarily didn't have any managers and reported directly to the CEO.

Now, none of these have been FAANGs. All but one were two digits of employees; the current one is by far the biggest at ~200. Despite that they've all paid quite well. Probably not on the same level as FAANG, but enough for a very good quality of living with plenty left over even in a skyrocketing tech hub.

I guess my point is: it can be so much better. As a developer today you're in a hyper-privileged position. Take advantage of it and find somewhere you can be happy. You probably don't have to burn it all down to do so.
Will you also pay people to store it? Hydrogen embrittlement is a huge, unsolved problem that prevents hydrogen adoption.

Given the momentum it has, battery electric is the way to go.
As far as I understand the author, it's always obviously true. She just ups the baseline to genius level if you're on the Manhattan project.

Which makes the statement mostly tautological: Hire only people capable of doing the work.

Maybe she doesn't want you to hire overqualified people, and wants you to shift focus on what qualities the team as a whole is missing.

All of this never makes it out of hiring 101 teritory, of course.

Update: s/he/she/
Thank you for taking the time to explain what you meant. I appreciate it and don’t want to discount the time and effort you put into it. That being said, I vehemently disagree:

> First Pepsi Vs Coke. Both Pepsi and Coke make a product that takes no more than 10 cents to create, ship, and put into stores.

I’m sorry this is so patently false on it’s face that the rest of your argument doesn’t make any sense. It also fundamentally misunderstands how a market works and especially what the current system is.

The 2nd example is a little better but also just fails the sniff test, where I live right now, taxis are battling Uber/Lyft exactly because there were real pain points with taxis and the old system (that btw was also a monopoly, only blessed by the gov) that weren’t being addressed and the taxi companies in my city got their act together and decided to compete instead of attempting to hold us hostage to a broken gov-enforced monopoly system.

I also don’t think you really explained how it’s negative value, unless you’re simply making a personal subjective value judgement. If that’s the case, please don’t present it as objective fact, it’s dishonest.

Lots of American developers would love for a FAANG salary too. Total comp at a FAANG is now, what like $500-800k for a mid-senior position? Outside of a handful of areas in the USA, that same person would be earning, maybe $100k, no stock, and passable benefits.
But ML models soon will have ability to decompose solutions and recombine them. This with added causality and generation of test data might make them quite powerful.

I think domains that will get actually solved first due to this are programs/maths as usually it's easier to verify solutions that to devise them. For other stuff you would have to simulate the universe.

That's why for example self driving cars basically record everything and will simulate all possible scenarios especially these based on disengagement data.
I don't know of a great bridge between Ethereum & Monero.

You can use TornadoCash on Ethereum & this was used in a recent scandal involving NFTs by the ex-head of product of openseas.
A page of practical examples that are easy to understand and clearly offer advantages would help for those with limited time.
Invested to not fall behind. They will snipe at their opponents, and I don’t doubt they would do the numbers on torpedoing their own solution if it meant wiping the field clean. Long-term, self-driving cars taking will mean less cars sold to consumers. Between ride-sharing, commercial operations, etc. the end goal will be less cars on roads.
What a pathetic comparison
The "Semantic Web" is crying about having its Web 3.0 moniker stolen by blockchain
When I joined Google in 2005, "yahoo" was the most popular query. How times have changed.

"Navigational queries" was what we called them. There's actually a semi-rational reason why you'd want to do them: if you misspell a bank's URL, for instance, Google will fix it for you, while there could be sleazebags camping on the domains with the common misspellings.

The critical aspect about this is, "What can I do about it?"

For most hacks, the answer is, more or less, "Nothing." For a social engineering hack like this, you can be aware and avoid falling victim to this.

For me, reading this article, that's the meat of it -- I am trying to figure out how vulnerable I specifically am to this, and what I need to do to stay safe (and what I need to recommend to my family and friends). Sometimes it's "hope the organizations that have your data are secure", but this time it's the same advice I usually give, "Don't ever tell anyone anything, and NEVER give out passwords to anyone."
No need to read their minds. Go to https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/ or elsewhere and social media posts of people who have followed these trajectories have been catalogued. They post anti-vaccine stuff but then mostly go to the hospital when they start getting really sick and accept treatment with ventilators, ECMO, and other intrusive treatments.
That's incredible. I have so many questions!
Does that mean all the other captcha systems are "broken"?
It's not even, Minecraft has low system requirements and although it has a low-tech aesthetic it's a beautiful game. League of Legends runs on a potato and looks fine.

Think the roughness and how everything is a hodgepodge appeals to kids in some way. It's more like the Flash era where you visit Kongregate, NewGrounds etc and although some of the games looked bad they were still fun and the rougher graphic style sometimes added to the charm.
Why would we pick individual products and argue about them? Seems better to apply a blanket carbon tax or CO2 tax.
there's a difference between "having" and "owning" something. You may have it on your local file (aka access) but ownership implies a super set of capabilities that they're talking about.

Show HN: Enigma – A decentralized puzzle game with 100 ETH in prizes
Yes, I also think social problems can't be caused by technology. Technology is neutral - if we're using it to do harm, it's harmful. If we're using it to help, it helps.

Note that this is not 'guns don't kill people, people kill people'. Guns do kill people, so they must be regulated. The gun violence problem in the USA is not the fault of guns, it's the fault of the way US society chooses to regulate access to guns.
Rediculous Proprietary Property Employment Contracts

This is just not true.

Tons of developing countries have super aggressive financial/general regulations, for example India requires all data be stored in-country so you can't shard across geozones [https://www.lawfareblog.com/key-global-takeaways-indias-revi...]. In fact, the countries with the most complex financial compliance are almost all developing [https://www.bnamericas.com/en/news/five-of-10-most-complex-c...].

But the bigger thing is generally how advanced the existing finance infra is. Lots of countries have really slow bank transfers, processing a refund requires handing in physical paperwork, etc. Stripe relies on having underlying bank infra that's somewhat functional.

As far as the EU, the regulatory environment is manageble, but the payment landscape is very different from the US where Stripe originated. For example, in Germany only around 30% of users pay for stuff online via card [https://askwonder.com/research/german-market-what-s-breakdow...], that means for every country a ton of new payment methods have to be added for the service to be actually useful.

> We should be able to express "untrusted input"

This is not even a new idea. Perl has had 'Taint' mode for a very long time, and the mode does exactly this, labels externally supplied data as "tainted" until you "cleanse" it within your code. Naturally the level of security is dependent upon how well you write your "cleanse" routines, but the mode does prevent accidental use of untrusted input.

See at least: http://perlmeme.org/howtos/secure_code/taint.html
> Russians doesn't destroy whole countries and kill millions because they think they know some higher truth about how those people should live their life.

1. The US doesn't do this.

2. This is an apt description of USSR history, which is of course Russian history.

> Also, West is amazingly ignorant. E.g. when people from the West discuss history of Russia, USSR, Georgia, Chechnya, Ukraine, Crimea, it is clear that you don't know a single bit about these places or history or relationships between countries and people here. You just regurgitate typical stereotypes and media lies.

Yes, I'm sure the free media all over the world (including those of the countries you've mentioned) is wrong and the Russian state media outlets are telling the truth. (:
More true in SW engineering than other fields. If you have lots of legacy infrastructure and you have a few engineers that really understand that technology then those nodes in the network can overrule almost anything. Hiring is made difficult because there may not that many people with the necessary background so now your hands are tied.

The tech industry is so effective at optimizing that they've managed to turn engineers into factory robots. Maybe it's just my experience but the tech industry in the late 2000s were so much more fun compared to the last 5 years.

On discussion forums people care about experts because their opinion carries more weight. But this is not how science is done. When describing an experiment you lay out your methods and steps. If there are mistakes in those mehods others will point them out. If there are no mistakes you accept the results. Since in science we have this direct way of evaluating the made claims there is no need to use proxies like "trusting the experts". Accusing someone of not being an expert, if everything they did was correct, makes no sense. And if they did something wrong you criticise that, and not their expert status.

> It's wild to see people who love the word "decentralized" also love it when an organization tries to centralize a something that's decentralized.

I don't think that's a good description of what's happening here.

IPFS content accessible via Cloudflare's gateway isn't dependent on Cloudflare itself at all. They're just acting as another equal peer in the network (albeit a widespread & well-connected one). If Cloudflare disappears, the content remains.

It's exactly like a large organization providing extra seeds for a popular torrent - it doesn't take anything away from the rest of the network.
> At the end of the day, offline-first is a whole bunch of caching, and so you end up needing to deep dive into cache invalidation strategies which we all know is a hairy problem.

Looks like you're not truly getting the concept of Offline-first apps then. You don't have or need a cache. You have a local database on the device that syncs up with the server, if online.

Conflicts can occur, but modeling data well with a CouchDB/PouchDB setup (i.e. prevent conflicts by not modifying docs all the time, rahter create new ones) + having a simple time-stamp based heuristic can already be sufficient. Otherwise, using CRDT is an option.
