So many people are confused about this, but yes the crime is that the exec defrauded Netflix. Netflix is the main victim here. The article just did such a bad job of getting this point across.
Waiting for the dang smackdown reply to this comment. You posted a secondary source (typically these get redirected to the primary source for any story), and used the editorialized title from the original journalist as your post title. Pretty commonplace on HN to correct these things so we can discuss the facts, not the reductive analysis of what someone writes about the primary source.
Same here, not just you.
Don't forget that inflation is a policy. So read it this way:. There are wage increases, then it's policy to fuck over laborers, then there are wage increases in response, and the cycle continues. Can't let the laborers get the upper hand of the polity
I think we can safely call this a train-wreck of a launch!
Are there configurable reliability settings, or is it TCP-only?

Good question. In order to incentivize nodes to store data long term, namjo pays the node operators via the lightning network. It's a similar concept to Filecoin except the financial incentive is Bitcoin as opposed to a native token.

Yes - critically, though, a Tensor core and an M1 GPU core are not equal or directly comparable.
Believing that a corp you do business with does things illegally doesn't relieve you from some duty to report it (especially if you become involved). Very likely, providing evidence relieved them from being prosecuted.
I agree with this 100%

Lobbying is only possible when someone can do influence favors to others. Full stop.
It isn't a great backup service, but it is useful. Every day they give me a x years ago you shared - normally a picture of my kids doing something cute that I forgot about until then. Brings a big smile to my face.

You have to be careful how you use Facebook. I've gotten aggressive about blocking all from every single group and cute kitten post. Facebook is a great way to share pictures with my friends and family. For news, jokes, buying/selling, and learning about my hobbies it is useless (because the algorithm doesn't show me everything). As a rules, if it isn't something you wouldn't mark as personal information with limited distribution it shouldn't be on Facebook. (this also implies Facebook needs high security)

Yeah I have. Lenovo has a really high list price but it has a secret store and a lot of sales.

Anyways that's the beauty of PCs, you don't have to pay the exorbitant prices or the OEM if you don't want to, a Lenovo P15 will allow you to swap the RAM and SSD however you want and it takes 5 minutes and like 9 screws.
Dismissive brush-off comments sometimes get downvoted, if that’s what your edit was asking about.

Personally I think a 38% price increase is surprising even though I understand there is a supply/demand issue. Understandable, believable, but still surprising.
I thought the DMCA had provisions for fines against people filing fraudulent/bogus claims. Wonder if these folks have explored that.
First round: $1,200 per adult, $500 per child

Second round: $600 per adult, $600 per child

Third round: $1,400 per adult, $1,400 per child

(https://www.pgpf.org/blog/2021/03/what-to-know-about-all-thr...)

So, as an example, a family with two adults and three kids would have received $13,900 in total.

Morals/politics etc aside, I think supperberg's argument makes sense.
These kinds of situations - whether you're pulling 40 hours / week split between two jobs, or 20 hours in one, or 80 hours total in two - are hard to evaluate, because trying to compute correct salaries means opening a Pandora's box that almost every employee (including perhaps most managers) would prefer to stay closed. It means dealing with questions like:

- Am I paid for my tangible work output, or for availability? What about intangibles? How do you measure it anyway?

- It there, or is there not, an expectation that I devote my "best hours" of the day to the job?

It's really better just not account for things in such detail. Like, I'm willing to ignore a co-worker doing two jobs at the same time, because I'd like to avoid getting my salary cut because as a night owl, my "best hours" are really outside of 9-5.
The more interesting debate is whether the purported solutions to climate change are worthwhile, worse, or better than the status quo. There is a lot of money to be made in this space, and so I am skeptical of anyone who presents their magic device or process, as a tangible solution.

Based on the pie chart on this page, it seems like a greedy approach and tackling energy (via something like nuclear power) is going to be a large part of the solution, yet I almost never hear climate activists prioritize it, which leads me to agree that the problem is very real, but the purported solutions appear to be hoaxes either intentional or misguided/unintentional.

I think your parent's point is that this guy wasn't earning an average salary, but a Netflix executive one. In that case, 500k definitely doesn't seem worth risking so much for.

The stimulus checks totaled out to what $3,000? That at most covers 2 months of rent in the city. Or maybe a few months of car payments and food. If the stimulus checks were a significant portion of your income that money has been long gone.

I worked 12 hour shifts as a 911 dispatcher and was mentally exhausted after those shifts. I had an hour drive home each of those shifts. There were definitely many shifts I wasn't driving home safe. Luckily my hour drive was like that because I was "temporarily relocated". The employer gave us the option to go book a hotel stay so I had some days where I was too tired to drive home safely and would stay in the hotel 5 minutes away.

And that's just me in a small little sedan, not an overloaded 18 wheeler. For context, I also do have a commercial drivers license. Driving for 60-80 hours in a week is just not safe. There is no way to try and justify that it is.

The only people doing that many hours of driving a week "safely" were probably high on cocaine. Cocaine usage was quite prevalent in the trucking industry because of this huge push to have drivers fudging logs and overdriving.

There are tons of studies out there that prove that driving while tired can be just as bad as driving drunk, if not worse depending on how deprived of sleep you are and how long you've been going.

This is true to a certain extent. Certainly, large problems get awkward pretty quickly using the Scratch model. However, I found this Code.org version of Minecraft[0] interesting. You primarily use the Scratch like interface, but then you can click a button, and see how your legos translated into Javascript.

"Capturing the value from the means of production" unfortunately but unsurprisingly leads to chronic under-investment in the means of production, as those who would otherwise invest in capital are uninterested in seeing its value captured.

This road leads to poverty, not prosperity (and more inflation as more money chases fewer goods produced in fewer factories by fewer workers).
I am not who to qualify an algorithm as racist or sexist or anything. If I find it negative, I will not use it. I am not going to tell others what is what or what they can use or not.
It's an awesome plan. Tax the rich, then make everyone "rich" so we tax everyone at a higher rate, except that the truly rich are really good at finding loopholes. Punish the poor and the honest, while gaining virtue points for "taxing the rich".
AWS is closer to a day-laborer you hire to help you build a doghouse for your son. However, when your doghouse business explodes, your day-laborer is no longer able to keep up with your business needs and you run into absurd, yet very real problems.

Thanks! This is really helpful. Looks like it was a WorkSpace I spun up... I have no idea why I did that.
I didn't mention OO in general and specifically Java and C#. JS is OO deep down, nobody is denying that, but it's not OO as in Java/C# where writing a function without a class is not idiomatic.

> "Class" and some other changes make the existing OO features usable in a way that won't have your successors cursing you for your "clever" use of prototypes

That's a strawman, you can write "clever" code with classes that will make your successors curse you just like you can write plain and readable code with prototypes.
What’s the differentiation against an iPhone? Presumably both phones are fast and take great photos and have an app ecosystem. But the iPhone is likely faster, probably has longer battery, and will last longer as a phone - I know people using Apple phones several generations old and still getting security updates. Apple also offers better privacy and their built in services like Maps are really good now.

If I were Google what I would do is make a more open phone. One with side loading, customization, repairability, and transparency as first class considerations. Otherwise it all comes off as a second class offering that’s just like anything else.
A question I've never given much thought about until now. When the neutron begins to decay [i.e. at or around ~14.63 min] then is the duration of that decay process essentially equivalent to the time taken for the W- boson to decay into an electron and antineutrino?
The legal system has seized bitcoin private keys in the past, so it isn't impossible. The legal system could also order compensation. It isn't much different than most other cases the legal system deals with.
"The number of people complaining about “woke culture” are statistically disproportionately members of groups that are not traditionally insulted in media."

Oh really? But you fail to observe that those promoting "woke culture" are members of the same group. Who do you think invents idiotic non-words like "latinx?" Latinos do not use this laughable crap. The people on their high-horses are bored white people propagating fake outrage like babies throwing food off their highchairs for attention.

That's where we are as a society: so free of responsibility for ourselves that we have the leisure to feign outrage and project it on groups, along with bullshit solutions in the form of euphemisms and censorship.

>In the popular imagination workers’ share of the economic pie has room to grow at the expense of profits. But recent research suggests that labour’s share of the value created by firms has in fact been fairly stable in most rich countries during recent decades.

It's unfortunate they didn't include any references for this claim, which seems pretty bold in the face of voluminous evidence that income inequality has increased dramatically in those same "recent decades". (See e.g., https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/01/09/trends-..., https://ourworldindata.org/income-inequality, https://www.cbpp.org/research/poverty-and-inequality/a-guide..., etc.)

The only way I can see to conclude that labor's share of value created has remained anywhere near stable is to either lump executives in with labor, or exclude passive income from the definition of value created.
It's true that a developer can't be an expert in every aspect of the stack but that's where services like Datree or many of AWS' services for example come in, they bring the domain expertise and require the developer to only be familiar with the subject. The experts moved to be domain experts, working for the companies that develop the tools.

You don't really need a resident storage expert in every company, since most companies have similar needs.
I'm not sure what the point of this study is. Despite serious efforts at obfuscation by the fossil fuel sector over the past 40 years, it's now widely know that the basic science of climate was solved by the late 1970s (1). Everything since then has been a refinement of the fundamental concept, i.e. that infrared-absorbing atmospheric gas concentraion is a primary control on a planet's surface temperature (along with other factors like albedo, soot and dust levels, etc.).

Humans have, primarily by the combustion of fossil fuels, steadily pushed towards a doubling of the levels of the long-lived IR-absorbing gases CO2 and CH4 in the atmosphere. This should take place (we hit 560 ppm) around 2050 at the earliest. Perhaps a betting pool would be the thing?

Fossil fuel combustion is the main driver of global warming, as we can see by noting the reduction in 14C in the atmosphere due to dilution with 14C-lacking fossil-sourced CO2 emissions. That also was known by 1980 (2).

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the reply.
CUE is something that can augment your existing tools. You don't have to replace them. You can adopt incrementally to add confidence where you find repeated configuration mistakes. If you want to validate your configuration with concise schemas, then you can use it like JSON Schema, even importing your existing schemas and making them readable.

CUE will make you think about the structure and taxonomy of your configuration / data. If anything, this is a good exercise that can make your code better even if you don't end up adopting CUE.
You have no evidence for that.

Florida has the highest per Capita elderly population in the U.S. except for Maine who has way less population density.

I never cheated in school and what it got me was a middling GPA, less time to drink and network, and job prospects that pay roughly half of what I could be making.

If you’re in school, learn from my mistakes: you’re there to get a degree and a high gpa, not to learn. You should absolutely cheat as much as possible, just don’t get caught.
Obviously a last ditch rescue attempt, which vindicates the untested methodology that we might otherwise be critical of.

I was thinking that I could use a readymade NAS (along with their software) to backup things locally but then I also want a secure and privacy backup of that NAS to a cloud.
> And to me, a society in which the life expectancy at birth is 75 yrs (with a modest deviation from the mean) is clearly better to live in than one where the life expectancy is 25 yrs at birth. In that sense I still think "ancestors were dumb" because they didn't know what bacteria was and that it could kill you, for example.

The key phrase is "at birth". The vast majority of the difference between "75 years at birth" and "25 years at birth" is due to infant/toddler mortality.

If you made it to 10, your life expectancy wasn't a lot different than today.
It requires a bunch of software development to get such a service running. In a Cloud way. Also you need to enroll them in an organization, so the user can not become rough and bind them to their private Apple ID and bricking it.

You could donate them to open source projects for improving their software (either physical or as a service).
Yes, and of course they'd then be taxed on that compensation as well.

I agree in general but there are some places where gray areas benefit the employer more than the employee and I think this is one of them. If everyone is forced to cheat the regulations to get their jobs done then it's no longer just a gray area and the regulations are pointless.

> The fact that education, home ownership and medical care are reasonably priced compared to our incomes but nobody else's while wealth inequality has taken off like a rocket suggests that it is most other professions that are underpaid - not us who are overpaid.

Both can be true at the same time. In my personal opinion, if a lot of common practices seen in the software industry went away, the cushiness of our jobs would be glaringly obvious. Did you not see that my point is that I witness us creating busywork for ourselves? If it could be measured and validated that my experience matches reality, what would be the argument for being paid this much?

And yes, I know that different parts of the world pay engineers differently. I can only really comment on how engineers in much of the United States are paid.

If I can't call out work for being shoddy and excessive, then that kind of proves my point. Why should I get paid more than other jobs that require more skill despite if my work is garbage?

> The fact that education, home ownership and medical care are reasonably priced compared to our incomes

Come again? I wouldn't call any of those things reasonably priced even at my income.
Sort of but not really. The article is mostly about differentiation. But if there's no existing solution to a customer problem, then you don't have to differentiate.

Until I pulled up google maps and found, to my chagrin, that without having seen the sun to 'calibrate' myself, I had my cardinal directions off. Once I realize what was actually north, I was good to go.

I don't see this as an argument against framework, I see it as an argument against continued abstraction. Developers seem to be obsessed with solving the N+1 order of abstraction than requested of them. "Why solve the specific case, when I can solve the general?" If you continually ask yourself this question, that is how you end up with an Abstract Abstract Tool Factory Factory. Solving multiple specific cases is hard, so sometimes it's easier to solve the general, and push the specific problems to the consumer. Except of you do this continuously then you have pushed the entire problem to the consumer. Plus you push the additional configuration problem since these solutions rightful attempt to expose declarative configuration.
