Grafana is incredible. I was pleased with the conscious and clear hiring, the apparent calm and emotional safety exuded by those who interviewed. And then when I joined by the integrity and leadership, which has a strong vision and great execution, coupled with real empathy for engineers and our customers. I'm loving it and it stands as a very stark contrast to my previous roles, and I hear similar from my colleagues at all levels too. Lots of autonomy, space to do a good job, a learning and personal growth culture. The way above average number of smart people to learn from. It's always been remote so they get this right.

What is more individual is that the rapid growth creates a lot of change, and that isn't for everyone so do bear in mind that YMMV depending on who you are but it really is a great place to work.
Brilliant. Yes, we're facing a consumption catastrophe, so let's distribute more funding toward more people so they can consume more.

This is almost as fantastic as the HN zeitgeist of:

1. OMG there's a climate apocalypse coming due to the carbon emissions of about a billion people!

2. There's another 6 billion people we need to either import into, or bring up to the living standards (e.g. carbon footprint) of, those first 1 billion.

3. What? Oh lol you heartless rationalist, #2 doesn't conflict with #1 because uhhhh.... Elon Musk exists? (no analysis of the actual energy requirements and fossil fuel mix over time is provided or considered, just an assumption of cornucopian miracles)

No, TFA is correct. We need to consume less, end our obsession with "growth", and most importantly, divest ourselves of the bleeding-heart suicidal idea of quadrupling our energy requirements with immigration and/or foreign aid. There will be a time to do that, when our energy mix is largely renewables, but not yet, and not within at least half a century.

Its still a cold/rural zone. When a carbon tax/madate is inevitably enforced, they are going to end up with escalating bills for heating and transport.
Another interesting tidbit of Maine news is that a municipal Portland election ended in a tie in the final round of ranked choice voting. Around ~19,000 votes total.

By state law they'll resolve the tie by drawing lots at the city hall building tomorrow morning: https://www.pressherald.com/2021/11/03/tied-instant-runoff-f...
Take the Time to Actually Research Someone

Nice sentiment, but it's never gonna happen.

Recruiters are spam bots, period. Their job is to smash square pegs into round holes. Use them or don't use them... but the sooner everyone on both sides of the hiring equation realizes this extremely basic and obvious fact, the better.
Does it really confuse you?

Are you so out of touch with basic human desires that you don't see the difference between having _your biological baby with your genes_ and a random homeless person? That people love their baby _despite_ their poop, because of the joy they bring, and because it satisfies the most primary of biological drives (reproduction).

And you think it's weird that I'm okay with my baby's poop and not the poop of a random adult.
D, perhaps?
New Relic has a free tier, just install their agent (or another compatible logging agent).
Not speaking for them, but the ad doesn't say anything about the happiness of South Jersey constituents. So I wouldn't expect they got it from ad. I think the article a more likely source.
If you have a way to automatically handle all the auditing that goes into evaluating all the not-strictly-technical controls that are part of SOC and PCI-DSS and similar, a lot of people will be very interested.

Based on this list, how would you automatically validate that vulnerability reports are handled in a reasonable timeframe? How would you do self-serve validation for incident handling timelines? How do you quickly and easily automate assessments of subprocessor data handling?

Quick, easy, strong, self-service, automated accreditation is a wonderful goal! It's critically important to make this stuff as easy as possible because there are features to ship and customer needs to meet. Security must be a baseline for everyone, and achievable by everyone, or else it's just a way for big companies to squeeze out small ones It just might be worth considering carefully that there may be systems at hand that blend humans and computers. It may perhaps be possible that information security could be more than just an engineering problem.

If I may propose a different framing? Information security is primarily a human endeavor. It is mostly about how humans and systems made of humans behave. Information security is about process. Some parts of it can be partially handled by computers, but most of it is deeply not susceptible to automation.

Coincidently, I just listened to this. (Perhaps we saw the same recommendation on HN.) 100% recommend, and the whole podcast approach at econtalk.org is very interesting. Economics plus life-of-the-mind.

Or a decade of seeing crypto fail to deliver on any single promise soured people on the idea? Just a thought.
This is dumb and blind cynicism.
I came across research showing that the drug use people commonly find in homeless encampments leads to disaffiliation or the severing of social ties to people outside the encampment [0]. What do you think about the idea that addiction may not lead directly to homelessness, but rather that addictions prevent people from finding a place to live outside the encampments?

“Compassion and empathy are the utmost of virtues. If you lack it, you deserve to be cast out from society. Because you lack the compassion I so freely give, you have forfeited the right to receive any from me.” /s
Good article and agree with the recommendations, I'm trying to understand the attack flow though. You perform an actual installation and get a valid authorization code, but replace the actual installation ID with another (that the user has no access to)?

This is a major issue then from GitHub's side. I think what GitHub should do is just like with Oauth apps, allow you to provide a state (assuming the flow is starting from the SaaS app, not from the GitHub marketplace, I assume you can't send a state since it's sort of like an "IdP initiated" flow in case you start the installation from the github marketplace, but they should let you opt out and require a state. There is a reason why things like PKCE and such exist.

I feel there is a story here...
This is anecdotal but EVGA replaced my 1-month out of warranty 970 with 1070, after the card gave up to work about 2 years ago. And I registered it after the failure, although I was able to establish that I bought the card legally and was the only owner.

All my contact with their customer support was stellar.
It definitely feels very synthetic and some of the spaces I put on during lunch sounded ill-intentioned.
Agreed about bugs. Bugs can exist everywhere. It is far easier to validate and test PoW code. Its a < comparision.

Contrasting: https://etherscan.io/blocks_forked and https://polygonscan.com/blocks_forked it would appear that indeed PoS BFT chains like Polygon can and do reorg, very regularly.
> it's more that major organizations and industries won't use a programming platform that is entirely at the whims of a company they have no real control over and without independent means to ensure it keeps on working,

That is a risk that is common to every single industry, and as such is a risk that is easily understood and quantifiable. We live in an interdependent world. You're always going to be dependent on suppliers, vendors, equipment etc. We have seen how covid related supply chain issues have affected everyone. Atleast with a S/W platform, what you have in-hand continues to work, and you can continue to use the compiler, libraries, etc to churn out new binaries.
If I was presenting the question more completely, I would have included financial fraud alongside speculation/gambling, which is exactly what you're doing by sending $ across borders without AML/Forex regulatory checks on the txn.
>In the US that bandwidth is from conservative to very conservative. The democrats are a right wing party.

This depends heavily on how you measure left vs right.

Immigration, abortion, culture war issues(woke/anti-work/anti-racism), criminal justice, covid response, affirmative action. The line that separates left from right can be drawn in very different places depending on the locality.
Virtual Reality Thought Experiment – “The Opt-Out Clause”
Right, that's kinda difficult to do when you don't yet have the GPU in your possession. Why don't they post a list of serials of the stolen cards? I assume every shipment contains a list of the serial#s of the devices in the respective shipment?
Agree, VMware it's a very nice place where to work.
I've been in similar situation and I don't take offense at all, as I saw both side of the coin.

I worked for an US based company through a Hungarian company. We were handled like normal employees. I was part of a US based team and reported for the team's manager. The only difference was that I had to go to my Hungarian manager for pay rises. The company got Mid/Senior employees for a Fresh Grad/Junior wage, which is still a great pay in my country. We delivered high quality software in a timely manner. Everybody was happy.

But the company got greedy. They decided they can get engineers even cheaper from other countries and they went for the bottom of the barrel ones from those countries. The new engineers didn't cared about quality, they wanted to merge everything ASAP as the payed for delivered story points by their employers. Madness.

The moral of the story is you always get what you pay for and the only ones who should take offense are the bean counters
Facebook is backing away from facial recognition. Meta isn’t
All of that is extremely possible with a web app though, and most of it is probably done even easier with a web app. In fact that is the usual way to build a web app, make a server that does the heavy lifting and then make a GUI that runs in the client which can then be accessed by multiple users. You can easily access them from a smartphone too.

The only exception is this:

"Another case might be several users running on one machine each with their own displays and inputs."

This would be multi-seat which doesn't really have anything to do with the display server. It is implemented in udev and logind, which spawns additional X or Wayland servers for each additional "seat".
How long have you worked there, and have you had any experience with the international offices? I’ve heard a few bad stories and was surprised to see something so positive here.
The NVIDIA driver could refuse to function correctly on a GPU with a known-stolen serial number.
>It's OK to teach and learn about how racist people made racist systems.

Read: your ancestors are racist, and made a racist system for you

>You don't need to feel guilty, unless you are out here actively supporting racist systems?

Read: here comes the guilt trip

>If you're trying to use the social privileges that come with being a white man in America to dismantle racist structures, then you're doing great! If you're tried and don't want to do that work, ok, understandable: just don't throw in your two cents I'd you see other people doing this intense labor.

Read: there it is.

At some point I figured people would realize this Kafkaesque formulation really turns people off. Any disagreement with the premise - any at all - and you are now required to retreat to claiming you're not a "racist" in front of someone who has set the rhetorical boundaries where such a claim is rejected outright, always. I actually think that's really the point, and it's nothing more than a new and pathological way to bully someone.
I completely agree. But even at 15 or 30 days, it's too long. The only way to protect a key would be to rotate it every day or every hour.

Scamming people by scamming them to think they are scamming somebody else is the oldest trick in the book. It’s the plot of ‘The Sting’ and it keeps people from going to the police.
This race has proven that it doesn't actually matter whether or not white people are being attacked (they're not) or whether CRT is even being taught in schools (it's not). Republicans effectively created a media moral panic around "Critical Race Theory" and it paid off for them in spades.
Have you considered that you might be unemployable? Don’t take it the wrong way. It’s a common trait of startup founders. A big part of their motivation is often that they don’t want to go back to working for other people.

Best Credit Cards 2021
What is a Credit Card?

A credit card is a payment option that allows you to make purchases with a line of financial institution credits. It is also a powerful spending tool that can help you pay debts, earn rewards, and achieve other financial goals.

How many Credit Cards should you have?

The number of credit cards one ought to have varied. This depends on financial profile, goals, and spending habits. For example, if you are not a disciplined spender, you ought to limit the number of credit cards at your disposal. But if you are in need to maximize rewards, you might need two or more credit cards available for your use.

How do Credit Cards work?

The idea behind this type of card is simple and plain. It’s just like having the ability to borrow and pay later due. If you take a while before paying it back, rather than paying in full when the statement comes, you will be charged interest.

The amount is carried over to the next month and interest will be paid on the total balance unless you’re on a special 0% discount deal. You might wonder why not just borrow directly from the bank? One of the biggest perks of the Best Credit Cards 2021 is the potential reward you can earn from using this type of payment.

In addition to the warranty mentioned by others, registering an EVGA product of a certain value or higher gets you into their Elite program, which gives early access to queues for new products. This is what allowed me to upgrade to a 3080 Ti for MSRP in the middle of a shortage.

So it may not be immediately useful but can pay off down the road.

My Y Combinator interview experience (YC W18)
Arguments were effectively made that it’s not all hydro power - it’s a connection to the grid not a single source of energy.

But in the end this was doomed by the route. If it were economically possible to go around the north woods it would have had little opposition.
The problem is, to make a difference you also need to get 7bn other people to do something...
I don't think you know what you're talking about, as evidenced by your failure to follow up with citations.

In any case, the office he's running for IS paid. So what exactly is your point? That other elected offices are unpaid? Who cares?

One reason to pay them (not that it works very well) is to make them less susceptible to bribery. In some Third World countries, it's expected that government officials will supplement their income with bribes.
My experience was the opposite, the only time I've ever had someone pay me late, and on top of that asked me to work for free was when I was dealing with a very small business owner. You either need to have some VC funding, or be a well-established company for me to even want to apply.

I guess there might be some unicorn bootstrapped exceptions to the rule, but in general I find the bigger the company the smoother things are when it comes to actually getting paid.
Log forwarding to a single server running rsyslogd, and then view consolidated logs there.
Most of the "problem homeless" are junkies. Overall homeless numbers include people in RVs, staying with a friend, and going to going to work day jobs.

Different types of homelessness result in different problems and different solutions.
System peaks around 57W, with battery charge rate limits and frequent environmental disruptions (clouds, angles, etc).

Battery (Goal Zero Sherpa 100AC) shows output load. Lowest draw on MacBook Pro 15" is 7W, usually idling 10-15W, pulls about 50W when charging.
One data point but I have had issue with EVGA support, and their cards for years (I owned two before I swore to never buy another one). They had heatsink issues at one point and it was incredibly hard to get it fixed without me paying shipping and I would have been out a GPU for 4-8 weeks. I just fixed it myself and voided the warrenty.
Speaking of protection (vaccine effectiveness against infection) durability, I have to admit there is a certain level of disappointment seeing charts like Figure 1 in a US veteran study, which flat out contradicts the J&J claims (VEaI 3%) and partly invalidates the Pfizer claims (VEaI 56%). Or a Qatar study. Or a Sweden study.

There is also the official reaction. Aug 18, 2021: "CDC Director Says Coronavirus Vaccines Less Effective For Delta But Still Prevent Severe Infection".

Possible all of these studies are flawed. And perhaps I'm accidentally misquoting Rachel Walensky. Given that the original trials were closed by vaccinating the control arm of the studies, not even sure where to look for credible longterm tracking of VE against infection data.

On the other hand, possibly the manufacturer original studies were flawed. Or the virus evolved, Delta, duh. These conversations are difficult to carry partly because we are supposed to take the original studies, created with (acceptable) conflict of interest as gold standard, and summarily dismiss any independent verification thereof.

Now days PS5's and graphics cards are bought up quickly and sold by scalpers. So I am guessing some may not be suspicious at all but assume it is just a scalper and may even expect to pay a mark up on said items.
It could be done if nvidia cooperated. It's basically impossible to use a nvidia gpu without the driver software which _is_ networked. Nvidia already added malware to their drivers before to stop mining so blocking some stolen cards would not be out of the question.
If it's caused by shortages and lockdowns, then it's pretty easy to understand how that could cause prices to go up at the same time that the employment market worsens.
I am not sure where educated vs uneducated comes into play here. I know the media seems to play this up and it seems you buy into this narrative.

Also I resist the idea that attaining a degree, any degree, qualifies as "educated" and anyone that has not attained a degree is "uneducated" that type of credentialism leads to all kinds of negative outcomes, and false assumptions. Which is the metric the media uses to label the electorate is "educated" or "uneducated". There are a huge number of people that have high levels of informal education, and there are people that have degree's that one can objectively argue are uneducated by any reasonable measure.

So over all I reject completely on different levels the entire premise of your comment
Yes, unsurprisingly, this is set up to protect incumbents that have collected all these certifications.
I think to a large extent the last decade or two of Intel's product strategy has been to build a design, and then arbitrarily segment the market. So you end up with different clock speeds, different core counts, enabled hyper threading, a few features, cache size, PCI-E lanes, and TDP, and things like ECC support.

But fundamentally, you just have 1 design with stuff removed from it, disabled or slowed down through some fuses or some firmware. So it makes sense, if you want to know which is the best CPU just look at the top of the line. Look at the one that is the fastest, because that's fundamentally representative of how good that entire line of chips can be. So it's a good comparison.

Once you've got that information, you can then compare how AMD and Intel structures their pricing. But if Intel are leading on pure top end performance it puts them in the driving seat when it comes to setting prices, because generally Intel and AMD target roughly the same features for the same price point.
Yeah, that's all true. In addition, I know that infants and dogs literally don't have the capacity to clean up their poop - they couldn't if they wanted to.

If I, as an adult, can clean up your poop for you, then it escapes me why you, homeless but also adult, can't pick it up and put it in a dumpster. The logical conclusion is that you do not wish to.
> What is more individual is that the rapid growth creates a lot of change, and that isn't for everyone

Tell me about it. The company I work for is literally a rocket in its sector, but that means I've had three different managers in a year. Every time I think I've mastered the stuff enough to relax a tiny bit, it all gets thrown out of the window. Definitely keeps me on my toes, but I'm not sure I'm growing as much as keeping my head above water.
