I agree that's a significant part of it (most banks don't actually do a very good job of security). The other part is that most banks' leadership are finance people, while Mongo's leadership is largely technical (and consequently are more open to discussing technology).
It's more free as in freedom than wealthy per say. You probably aren't going to go buy a Ferrari with $1 mil in the bank, but you also probably never worry about putting food on the table again. At least if we're talking wealthy in the "own a yacht" sort of sense.
For me there's an easy marker: if the local corruption is for the sake of an wealthy external power's resource extraction, it won't result in local development, other than luxury development to support elites and foreign employees. If the local corruption is really local (not an inundation of foreign currency), you'll see some development.

Saying that India has managed to develop is an exaggeration, though. India supports a large (and maybe growing?) middle class (because India is large) but it has an enormous number of people who precariously, and no better than their great-grandparents.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised the Hacker News comment section is praising an authoritarian surveillance state.
> Sometimes I also wonder why Org Mode is not as popular as Markdown, the former is far more powerful.

You can replace "Org Mode" with almost every single markup language out there. Markdown was designed from the start as an 80% solution, and RST, asciidoc, &c. are all more powerful than markdown. For interchange, popularity begets popularity, so it would be surprising if the technically best (in isolation) solution won.

NFT behave like physical goods, they can't be duplicated, but they can be transferred. A plain PKI signature does not and if you surround it by additional bookkeeping that you can, you are just reinventing your own NFT.

Furthermore you have to consider the long game here, what happens if the company you bought the good from goes under? Stops running the service, etc.? With NFTs that is in theory a complete non-issue, you can just go to your next library, show them your NFT and they give you a copy of the movie. NFTs basically allow you to ignore copyright, as the NFT proves that no "copy" in the traditional sense took place, as you already owned the content. So you no longer are required to get your movie from the rights holder, you can get it from anybody that has a copy. If you own the NFT you are allowed to get a copy of the movie. And the NFT can be found on a used market if the company no longer sells it themselves.

As for companies not joining in, that's not for them to decide. You are already allowed by law to sell your goods. That's existing law. It's just difficult to enforce when there is no system in place that allows selling used digital good. NFTs could provide the foundation for such a system.
Yep, there are a pretty decent number of smartphones with it, and I think the trend is moving in the right direction (iPhone 12 Pro had it and Apple included it in the iPhone 13 Pro too).
> Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän

"Danube steamship company captain" per Google Translate, in case anyone else wonders what that beauty of a word-train means in English.
Yeah, I hear that a lot, and to me it always seems like a person curling their lip in disapproval from the nearby Ivory Tower.

I honestly always wonder: as opposed to what? Let's take my simple requirement, a small business ecommerce store that's not going to look like trash and where non technical users can make pages, edit descriptions, etc.

I can do: WordPress, Magento, or I can pay a SaS provider. Essentially both do it yourself approaches are PHP and Magento has really sabotaged itself with the complicated migration. SaS means higher costs and if I want custom functionality (and yes, the business needs it), it ranges from impossible to possible but a headache.

So here is a business that is now online for a minimal cost for two years, allowing great flexibility for me, while allowing completely non technical users to get crap done.
Maybe it is just me, but besides the content of the message (which is terrible) I have to object to the form as well.

Some minimal education/respect to the user is missing, WHY are you referring me to someone else on the internet?

Even the usual corporate jargon or bogus explanation/excuse, like - say - "We are sorry but from our tests the behaviour you describe is not connected to our product, you may want to contacxt directly ..."

The text in the message:

"Please reach out to ..."

could be - maybe - acceptable - if it was a reply forwarding to another division/office of Apple itself, i.e. you write to (hypothetical) support@apple.com and you get as reply "Thanks for contacting us. To get help with this issue, please reach to softwaresupport@apple.com."

And it would still remain (IMHO) rude.
worth to note that apart from the 'typical' patterns you can get some crazy results by tweaking the values. I use it in processing all the time. also it can create a simple but incredible 'cinema' style blur (the stuff you only see on movie credits) on type.

Plot twist: their procedures are actually completely different, and this blog is part of a larger scheme to confuse potential attackers.
My mother was a school bus driver for years, parents constantly accused her of things. The camera kept her safe. "My son wasn't hitting people, the bus driver was yelling at him for no reason!"

No, your son was in fact hitting people, and the bus driver kindly asked him to stop, which is all she is allowed to do.

She would have been fired multiple times over if it wasn't for the camera disproving wild allegations from parents who want to lay responsibility on anyone but their kid.
Asciidoc and Antora. We document a product that has a bunch of micro services and each micro service is in a separate git repository. We store our documentation alongside the related code in git, so it is spread out across several git repositories. Antora makes it simple to pull asciidoc files from multiple git repositories and compile it all into one static site. It also has good search functionality and support for versioning using either git branches or tags.
It is impressive how, when we get into situations like this, an executive first absorbs all the knowledge we can provide, then swindles the employee (because they have firing power) and then it is _on the employee_ to feel bad, to regurgitate and to reflect "how to improve oneself". Brings tears to my eyes.
Good luck retiring in most major Canadian cities if you don't already own real estate there.

Similarly, Perl has CPAN and system where if a module is unmaintained and the author unresponsive, new maintainers can be granted permission by admins to take over. This ensures the namespace is preserved, peoples dependencies keep getting updated.
I've got some insight into this (Several friends, now multi-millionaires ran and flipped tens of sites like this) They're mostly written by low paid content writers in 3rd world countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines. Primarily to drive affiliate traffic to Amazon and other retailers with affiliate schemes. They all operate on a similar format - 10 items with good reviews, write 300 words about each product, rinse, repeat, profit.
Actually, you would expect that in an OLTP world. DW's for the longest time, even Oracle, recommends you disable txn to get better performance. The logic is implemented in the ETL layer. Very rarely do you need multi-table txn in large scale DW.

Snowpark is still inferior.
A nice thing about engineering is how much power it gives you even if you don't know where the room is, because you're the one building the thing. Over and over you get to interpret the requirements in consequential ways. Even if you don't get to originate them, the constraints and solutions that you find can often reshape and even overrule the requirements. That feedback is the core of the Agile movement.

I've been in the room, and slowly earned the privilege to stay out of it. With only people like me in it any company would fail. To build my own company I'd have to go back to the room and stay there. But it's a nice niche for a certain kind of nerd. And you can drive the direction of the business from the other side of the door more than you might think.
Lemmy and Mastodon are AGPL-licensed, which means if you modify server side code this counts as "distribution" and you must publish the code for your service based on these projects.

Agree or disagree about whether or not that's good, fine, and it is open source software, but it is not libre software. They're OSS, not F/OSS.

Can you compare this against ranked-choice voting with instant run-offs?
That explains the results I've got last week when I was doing some tests on an slow external HDD and a SLOG file placed on my internal SSD, the write speed dropped much faster that I expected. I found it disappointing that ZFS needs to keep the data in RAM and on the SLOG dev. You really need a lot of RAM to make full use of it. And a larger SLOG dev than RAM space available makes no sense then? A real write cache would be awesome for ZFS.
Sorry, didn't mean to imply that all the sites I referenced employ all of those techniques, just a subset of them.

I was mostly thinking of Stack Overflow when I talked about community-appointed moderators, though I think with Reddit you could argue that users do have some limited influence over who their moderators are. If a large enough majority doesn't like the mods of a particular subreddit they can fork the community with a new subreddit and move everyone there. Not an ideal solution I'll admit, but I have seen it work.
What? If you are a socially competent person (say a rapper with > 500k followers) you can go in the most dangerous areas of Lagos and people will maybe beat and shot each other....but to host you for the night...I know this for a fact!

Of course if you are loaded but socially incompetent (say many of the billionaires in Silicon Valley or Wall Street) then your 50B net worth won't be enough for people to restrain themselves from beating you unconscious and taking you Rolex or Phatek Philippe (that your socially incompetent brain decided to sport there even though you are nobody but a walking wallet with no street cred)
I haven't used it in many years, but there were plenty of org-mode <something else> two-way sync packages. I used the Trello one for a bit long ago.
Great question about the angle actually. There's previous work by an applied physics group [1] that shows the detectable field-of-view from the camera is about 20 degrees. Our experiments also confirm that.

We also think using the smartphone flashlight (if that's what you mean) is the best way forward. That's already very helpful (and recommended) for humans to find hidden cameras, and it should be a useful extra modality for our work too.

What are those expensive hobbies and luxuries? My hobbies cost about zero (making music, doing the occasional woodworking, reading, walking).

Travel can be expensive but it can also be quite cheap and is very dispensable.

Luxuries outside of travel (expensive hotels), I don't even know what they are.

I'm sure it's not hard to spend as much money as you want on many different things; but you make it sound as if it was necessary. It really isn't.
Lol! "Flagged"

Not because it was off topic since I was responding to a point Snowden made.

Not because it was threatening anyone or even name-calling.

Not because it was inciting violence.

On a site that touts championing free speech as a paramount ideal, a topic about freedom of thought, and an open disdain for "groupthink", my comment was flagged.

I swear, this orange site has absolutely no sense of irony.
Yeah, rich vs wealthy.

Rich = have a lot of money.

Wealthy = have enough money to live off the interest/earnings, pay somebody else to manage it, etc.

All wealthy people are rich. Most rich people are not wealthy.

Does having a few million tied up in a 401k make somebody rich? Yes. Does it make them wealthy? No. It makes them a successful, but not exceptional, middle-aged professional.
I think the qualification is necessary. Even Warren Buffet admits that he got rich in a very specific way using skills that would be all but useless in any other context but him winning the "ovarian lottery". https://www.sloww.co/ovarian-lottery/

Why do they feel the need to ask that question? Are issues with people of specific nationality more prevalent?

I can't recommend Walter Isaacson's biography of Ben Franklin enough. While some founding fathers turn out to be less interesting than expected (anyone with Adams in their name, e.g.), Franklin's life is legitimately bonkers and would not be believed if written as fiction. Between business, science, politics, and just life (family + friends), it could easily have been 8 or 9 interesting lives added together.
There is vast amounts of evidence for dark matter existing.

Dark energy is an unrelated concept with a similar name, and there is not really evidence for it; it is speculated because the equations of general relativity imply the need for an additional term to justify the inflation of the universe, but it's not at all clear what this term corresponds to in terms of matter.

Good afternoon! Why would you look for something like magento, when you can easily use this platform for e-commerce without any problems if you turn to specialists.

You get a two day block for saying "ritale".

I also got a two a two day block for using the word "japs" in the context of talking about atrocities committed by the Japanese Imperial Army during the Rape of Nanking. Wouldn't want to be offending long dead mass murderers, would we.
Not really the same thing. The point is that if someone wants you to totally rework the base PR then the follow-on work will need to be redone.
If you can't even respect someone who sees the world differently, how can you do any real "investigation" of actual contrary views? It's sad to me that you don't even see a problem with this, because this is exactly why things are they way they are today.
"Yes, but big cities have more opportunities and more connections". True. Probably they are more bearable at a young age, when grappling with the existential urge to mate.

Hey! Wait! "The existential urge to mate" is kind of a big deal! Should we be hand waving away that entire bedrock motivation of human nature?

Social institutions designed for turning children into adults i.e. family units, day cares, public schools, youth sports, universities, studio apartments in big cities (a kind of halfway house between childhood and adulthood) have been continually stretching out adolescence, and this article takes that long adolescence for granted. But it's fraught with all kinds of outcomes that will sabotage the very financial independence the article is advocating for.

That pesky urge to mate starts to hit hard around 11-13 years of age. So we're resigning young adults to unfulfilling, casual sexual relationships until they get established and they can truly explore their sexuality, including making new humans of their own, in their mid-thirties. That's 20+ years of avoiding unwanted pregnancy, venereal disease, various kinds of sexual violence (from harassment to assault), and a host of psychological issues that can crop up in that casual environment.

And, oh, BTW! Bad outcomes in sexual relationships are the ones most likely to inhibit financial success [0].

So all of those "loner" self help articles about getting rich young and retiring early simply do not apply to the vast majority of the population.

What we should be helping young adults to do is become competent early (as the author suggests), but also to find a competent mate early as well. Then you can increase your household income, continue living in that studio apartment, and sidestep the most dangerous obstacles to financial independence before they ever have a chance to strike.

Wikipeda says that quarantine in medieval Europe had begun in the 1300s and gained it's name in Italy in about 1448. There's no evidence that it was seen as religious or mysterious, even if people then did not have a germ theory of disease.

The real issue is the people in the late 1400s and early 1500s did not appear to have any conception of widespread, genetic and experiential immunity to diseases spread directly between humans. The diseases that killed so much of the the indigenous population of the Americas really didn't have much impact on Europeans (for reasons that appear to combine both genetic ancestry and living conditions that had help force immunity long before). So the early missionaries and explorers likely did not really have a clear notion that they could be bring death to tens of millions of people, because that was basically impossible in their homelands.
> Anyone who thinks it isn't is absolutely living in a bubble

I am, for example, a native of British Columbia. My home town, a humble one, now has an average home cost of $1M CAD. $1M will certainly not furnish retirement in any above-average Quality Of Life situation. "Wealthy" isn't living an average first-world lifestyle...
That's a good point. I'm not sure how the removal of the IR filter will affect this work. I mentioned some prior work from the physics side [1] in another comment that explores the reflection characteristics in more detail. I don't think they explored the IR filter contribution as well, so this could be an interesting direction.
