Wow that is such a weak statement that I would be embarrassed to write it.
“Considering applying”. Not even considering an offer. They are not even sure if they should apply? How is that an outcome you want to publish?
A lot of people wish to stumble across something valuable without the original owner knowing the actual value of it. This is the underpinning of modern capitalism.

Lots of security folks around here that make good money. First thing that comes to mind is Red Teaming (offensive hacking, basically), and writing or reversing malware.

But even then, I think FAANG is going to pay better in terms of total comp, because you're getting paid in stock in some of the most valuable companies in the world, which is going to continue to accrue if they do well.
I think you mean the rumored Atari cartridges in the landfill documentary. That was pretty fun. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari:_Game_Over

Sometimes when I’ve lost something and am looking for it, I think “what if it’s simply not here?”. Then I think, “it still likely exists, where is it?”
I suggest that most (edit: not 'most' should have said 'some' or 'much') of the Left's actions are 'strident and uncompromising'.

The term 'White Supremacy' as it is loosely supplied is strident to the point of belligerence.

That said, I think the author roughly captured at least partly the spirit of the division.
For anyone else wondering, from [1]:

> See, back when the video game market was still considered to be a commercial wasteland, Nintendo decided to host “test launch” events for the NES in New York and Los Angeles. Basically, they wanted to see how the console would perform in those markets before expanding their release strategy. For those events, they manufactured a few thousand “special copies” of Super Mario Bros. What made them so special? Well, they were sealed with a sticker rather than plastic shrink wrap. Seriously…that’s pretty much it.

> As it turns out, that sticker is a pretty big deal among collectors. The only known still-sealed copy of the “test launch” version of Super Mario Bros. sold for $140,000 in 2019, and some suspect the game could go for close to $1,000,000 if it was sold on the current market.

My water heater is not a storage device for electricy. It lacks the means to recover energy from it, and I want hot water in the morning, every morning, not at random times during the year when there is a surplus of power.

Also, in any cold climate, 'surplus of energy' is generally associated with the presence of sunlight, i.e. at times when heating the house is typically not a great priority. You want that heating on when it is coldest, which typically coincides with the lowest renewable energy production as well.

Charging and decharging your car sounds great, but it means your battery is deteriorating while you aren't even driving.

Which tax are you referring to and in which country? Is this especially applied to deliveries?
True. True, it'll only be on the server side market. but didn't intel just buy Centaur with their AVX-32768 as well? but again, probably for use in server side or their GPUs.

I assume for higher level AVX support we'd need client side compiled code or multiple binaries with different compile flags. which is quite doable today, as everyone downloads software from services like apple store, windows store, steam, adobe, AutoCAD download manager etc. so client side it shouldn't be a big issues anymore. the downloader will just fetch the optimal binary for the platform you're using?

Cops don’t give warnings for serious crimes, so those stats are far more trustworthy. Just look where murders happen to know the actual crime rate of an area.
The pre-iPhone experience with a smart phone was to buy among a handful of company-offered apps like Solitaire. I am unaware of any 3rd-party software you could install to those early phones.

You could argue Apple just followed the "canned phone" approach but, later, decided to allow 3rd parties in as a marketing way to grow/differentiate the iPhone ecosystem.

I don't fault early-Apple in this regard.
Spike.sh - https://spike.sh

I may be biased as a co-founder of Spike.sh, but I think we have one of the best designed incident management products out there. We've focused on making it easy to create on-call schedule and overrides, and added templates for escalation, on-call and alert rules.

I wonder what a Lisa 1 in good condition would sell for in today’s overheated market. Obviously a different situation from the Apple-1, but the original Lisa seems also to be exceptionally rare.

A well-preserved example went for $31k in 2018. That’s somewhat lower than I would have expected. Maybe we’ll see a more impressive price the next time one of these goes to auction.

Wild Browser – Save animals while you browse the web
How often do you think about what software you use on a daily basis? Do you change it, analyze it, find alternatives that meet your needs and life philosophy?

Now, with such technical diversity, browsers and search engines can not only help you find answers to all sorts of questions, but also change the world for the better, to preserve what we have now. It was with this desire that we created Wild Browser after one trip to the tundra, where the fragility of the wildlife ecosystem stunned us.

So we created a browser that would match our idea and help us communicate, complete tasks and just surf the web at an astonishing speed with ease.

We wanted to combine three important things in one product: fast and safe browsing, the ability to help wildlife foundations through simple actions, and a free product supported by affiliate advertising that is ethical and respectful of users’ privacy.

Now, you can support animals without taking a break from your usual tasks, simply by using your browser!

When you visit any website or search for an answer to a question, we will give you points. The points you collect will help you understand how many animals you can save. For example, 500 points can support 1 animal. We earn money from affiliate searches, and all net profits are sent to the foundations we support every month.

On our website, you can find out more about the foundations that work with us and more details about how the product works: https://wildbrowser.com/

The prosecution would need to make a case that the misinformation you published is false and causes harm. If the journalist can prove it's not false, or, if the information is false, that they were quoting a source in good faith, then the source should be on the hook, not the journalist.

Remember: you shouldn't lie in public forms, you shouldn't lie to the press, and the government shouldn't have more secrets than what is strictly needed for its operation.

Another option would be using Fastly and writing something as simple as this (literally under 10 lines): https://fiddle.fastlydemo.net/fiddle/9069876a It probably doesn't handle url encoded strings because I came up with it in a few minutes, but it's zero hassle, is extremely fast, and won't ever break.
I do this too. If there's one Life Rule I've learned as I got older, it's that YAGNI extends well beyond software development.

The "important papers pile" is a great example of that. Not a second spent wondering where to put something, or even whether it's worth keeping at all.
Unscientific Method
Well at least it’s not a NFT, and has a nice wooden case.

I've never used pyszne but if I ever use such service I'd use my CC to pay and if I never get a refund I'd just file a chargeback. Sure, they may just ban you but you get your money back and you don't have to deal with their bs anymore.
I think so as it does not use any really exotic parts.

Or they need to be able to demonstrate they did everything they could to suppress the use of their platforms to actively harm the public.

The routing has gotten a bit worse I think.

On a drive I do a fair bit it has me do an unprotected left onto a busy 4 lane road with a blind approach from the right. Miserable.

If it kept me on the other main road 10 seconds longer I'd be merging at a light.

There is new "fuel efficient" and other modes - I've wondered if this is throwing it off somehow.
First: I'd like to hear feedback why my previous comment was heavily downvoted. Was it too condescending?

It's not about having access to content, but about owning the "thing". You might buy a painting and post high resolution scans of it: good enough for people to make very convincing copies. But it doesn't affect the ownership of the thing.

NFT is not so much the content, but a record of ownership on the blockchain. And for digital content, that "doesn't make sense" outside of digital realm, it's a very natural tool to produce ability to own something digital.
> I think the recommendation to disallow any non-ASCII character is throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Not throwing out all non-ASCII characters from code-files. Just throwing them out as being invalid identifiers in your code (think variables, function-names, etc).

> How about code that wants to display some emojis?

Fine. You quote that emoji in a string, and it's golden.

You try to make a variable with the name of an emoji however, you code crashes.

That sounds fine to me.
> If you own a company and someone wants to contract you for work, you start explaining how what the client says it needs is not necessary and how he can manage with less than he demands?

Yes, it happens all of the time actually. Most clients don't come to you with clearly thought out solutions, they come with poorly articulated problems, and your job is to explore the problems they want to solve until they are well understood, and then devise a solution with the lowest cost.

Of those rare, rare clients that do know exactly what they need, they still have multiple constraints beyond those needs. For instance, budget. The client wants X within firm budget Y, X cannot be done within budget Y, therefore you make the case that either the budget must expand or they can make do with X' which only does 90% of X and that will fall within budget Y.
Well, nowadays even a lot of the “conventional” news just repeats what was already reported in social media (usually in an even much worse state of condition), so I dunno if you’re going to escape this after quitting social media. (Also understand that you’re posting on HN which is another social media with its own bubble, and a lot of the takes people post here are either unimaginable or even heinous in various other parts of the Internet.)

The real issue is that, people began to understand that they have no reason to blindly receive pre-manufactured truth from above, so they began to manufacture their own instead. Your position of “these tribal people must be stopped at all costs” only accelerates this phenomenon, since that makes you more “part of the elite that wants to control the narrative”. The ultimate problem is not truth, it’s about trust: “why should we believe in those officials when they have ransacked our people?”
Well an NFT has way more utility than this thing. It makes you part of an online community. Naturally it has a different value.
Source that storage isn't that expensive? What I've read has said the opposite. If that's true then I'll adjust my views accordingly.
It's a computer level browser policy rather than something the website can request the browser to honour.
Do you have some tricks for how you handle filtering through logs? Or some ideas if there could be a tool that could help you or mitigate your most critical issue[s]?

I found filtering through longs a major pain even for a fully sighted person like me, so I wrote a tool to help me with that, but it's fully in a "TUI" paradigm (i.e. curses-like), so I presume it wouldn't help you much (https://github.com/akavel/up). No promises, given that the tool as is scratched my itch, but I am honestly curious if something similar could reduce your PITA, including whether this specific tool could be made useful for you through some minimal effort on my side.

And I would think that bad actors scale exponentially. It seems like it would be morally easy to steal from someone you have never met and will likely never see again. Much harder to steal from someone in a small community where everyone knows everyone.

This is just my conjecture, no real world experience or data. Would be interested in seeing if anyone had any.
I don’t believe America will be capable of making large, rational, difficult decisions for many decades to come.

Fixed fee vs hourly billing also entail different risks. Clients willing to pay a fixed fee want you to assume the risk of cost overruns. You need to price this risk into your fixed fee in the form of additional margin. So, if you estimate a job will take 100 hours, your hourly costs are 100€ and you calculate a 10% profit margin and a 10% risk margin, your quote would be for €12,000.

If you are good, and you always manage to deliver within your time budget, the risk premium compensates you for the risk you are assuming.

Fixed price contracts require stringent change management. I recommend that even zero-sum changes go through a formal change process, so that your customer understands the difference between a fixed price and an hourly rate contract.

There is more potential conflict with a fixed price contract. There will be disagreements whether a particular item is included in the scope. This means you need to be more precise when defining the work.

The items you mentioned (documentation, etc.) have no bearing on whether you are quoting fixed price vs hourly rates. If the customer wants these things, they should be included in the paid scope of the contract. Your focus should always be on delivering software that delights the customer, because only then will you get repeat work.
Can you explain "this"? What mechanism is at play here?
Right, but here in EU this sort of thing is illegal, and if you tried to cook shit in your basement and sell it for real money you'd get shut down instantly. Same with hiring illegals and making them work with no insurance. Same with providing no training. Same with taking no responsibility in case of accidents. Etc etc. These companies keep getting away with outright ignoring the laws where they operate - and how can you ever compete with a company that ignores regulations?
> The problem is not so much that humans can't see this but that they are not looking very hard to begin with (otherwise, they'd be using the appropriate tools) and that we should rely less on them actively looking.

And simply not allowing non-ASCII identifiers in the first place would be a move in that direction. Now you have one thing less to look for.
Breakout List: Identify Top Startups to Join
I work at a company that does DERMS projects in this space (peak shaving, load balancing, power factor optimization, voltage support, etc, etc).

It's not that no one talks about this stuff, it's just that it's as with all things in the utility space projects take time and a lot of the work being done is still exploratory.

No one I work with seems to think this stuff is a magic bullet either, just part of the solution (of which nuclear is another important part).

I should also note that these DERMS projects are very software reliant and I think all of us here on HN know quite well that reliability can be an issue in the software space...

No, that's not the question at all. You are lumping together all forms of nuclear waste, and applying the long-term storage requirement of the least dangerous waste to the dangerous waste that is only radioactive for a few decades.

Pretending that there is even a need to securely store material for millennia when equally radioactive products are found everywhere in the Earth's crust is disingenuous. Below a certain level it isn't any more dangerous than loads of other chemicals we have lying around that nobody cares about.
seriously this is cool. Can you imagine having a few of these on the roof of your house in conjunction with solar panels?
