> You can go work for a company that permits discussion of salaries?

Its illegal for the company to prevent you, but that doesn't help any employee who doesn't know this fact.

Also, that is kinda the whole point of the anti-work movement, to stop working for companies that abuse you.

>And if no such company exists, you can start one.

I think you have an imperfect view of the situation given you likely work somewhere that pays you enough you have spare money left over to save up a rainy day fund. This movement isn't for you, and you should step out of the way.

Min wage workers don't have a rainy day fund, they don't have any money left over to put into a savings account, they can't even handle missing a single day of work without one of their bills being paid late, all while working a class of jobs that rarely has paid sick time, almost never has vacation, and no union to keep you from being fired for arbitrary or made up reasons.

How da fuck do you expect them to start a company? Its hard enough for them to handle the expense of changing jobs just from the one or two extra days between paychecks because they pay out on a different day.
But who will enforce these guidelines?

Google said a couple years ago that they would penalize sites with dark patterns (like forcing users to sign-in to view public pages). Doesn't look like Google enforced anything since all the major sites are using the same dark patterns now.
It's not an FPGA, it has a dedicated SoC and some I/O controller chips.

Same thing happened once at my parents house. Quite confusing for some :)
just a question as it’s quoted in this article and elsewhere, but does anyone have a source for the “you’re holding it wrong” quote from steve jobs. Instead following all the leads I can only find the quote “Just avoid holding it in that way.”
It still seems like rezoning a few blocks for high density vs the whole city for duplexes would be more effective and less disruptive.
Where did all this money go? It can't disappear just like that, can it?

I can't withdraw more than a few K per week with crypto exchanges. How can $300B evaporate just like that?

Most people only experience this part of DocuSign - a simple workflow that may require two parties to sign.

There are significant use cases around complex workflows and document management. Red-lines, mutli-party contracts, delegation, record keeping, etc.
I agree with your comment but that's not what I was responding too.

There’s a much better way to do this and while it’s time-consuming it’s the right thing to do. You have their immediate manager reach out individually with an HR Business Partner on the call to help manage the conversation and answer immediate questions about severance, immigration etc. May need to some group calls where whole teams are let go but as personal as possible is the goal. I’ve seen it done this way where there more than 1000 so it’s doable with large RIFs. By doing it this way you also maintain a chance they’ll come back when you’re doing better and that you won’t risk expensive wrongful termination claims.
How did you come to the conclusion that it is an FPGA? I'm not finding any reference to an fpga in datasheet, schematics, documentation, or product brief.
> technical understanding of Bitcoin and crypto in general is so limited

Agreed, this is something to fix. The current crypto bubble is driven by clueless hype

> Nothing which responds to interactions with humans operates outside the whims of any group of people.

Science does and so do mathematics.
Because $300B was never there. A quantity of a certain thing times its most recent sale price per unit was calculated to be a proxy of the trade-able value of what could have been there.
FWIW, I've seen people modify their boards with Noctua 40mm fans, and 3D-printed adapters. They should have used a larger heatsink with the ability to mount a standard (and quieter) fan

Eventually, it will crash all the way down and will be mostly forgotten.

This “crash” however is unlikely to be the beginning of it.
If your local network itself is exposed to the internet anyway a regular old webcam or netcam does not depend on a 3rd party, but it is generally intended to be accessed from anywhere in the world.

According to your own preferences, so you would then need to make the effort to have the security settings on your own private cam servers here, so that only those authorized to view, locally or elsewhere, will get anything at all.

In addition you will generally be required to make very specific efforts to set up a "pinhole" in your ISP gateway firewall if you want to allow any non-local access to that stream to begin with. By default broadband ISPs have not intended to make local streams accessible to the web otherwise.

A webcam is plugged into a PC which will need to run some streaming software like today's OBS Studio (or the discontinued Windows Media Encoder, then Expresion Encoder, which were free downloads for earlier versions of Windows). So the PC with the webcam/microphone functions as a simple network media server. You can have your own unique firewall and security settings for this one PC. You will also choose the encoding format for the stream, and the way your authorized viewing workstations will need to be securley logged in, and they will have to have the proper corresponding media codec installed for them to be able to display the stream. Laptops can broadcast this live streaming with no additional hardware.

A netcam will just plug right into your router (or be wireless) and it will contain its own simple secure network media server, so it does not require its own PC with encoding app, to accomplish the equivalent 24/7 streaming. You still need a local or remote computer's media player to view the video stream and a browser to access the netcam's administrative interface.
It's worth noting that dig (and host) bypass the normal DNS resolution mechanism used by most programs on the host. i.e. These tools aren't using getaddrinfo/gethostbyname.

Sometimes, I want to see the results from getaddrinfo, which are impacted by caching on the host itself and/or OS-specific configuration settings that dig and host know nothing about. (scutil --dns on macOS, systemd-resolvedand nscd on Linux, etc.)

In that case, I usually use ping. e.g., waiting for a DNS change to propagate to a host, I might use:

while :; do ping -c 1 hostname; sleep 1; done
Sure, but do we want to optimize for creating trillion-dollar companies? They can hardly even find ways to spend their fortunes; we could tax quite a bit from them before anyone except accountants notices. And that money could be used for social good.
One application for bulk (not IC grade) silicon carbide would be high temperature storage of energy. Use SiC bricks as resistive heating elements and heat an insulated pile to 1800 C. Any industry that uses high temperature heat could heat the bricks during times when electricity is cheap, and draw the heat out later by passing air (or some other fluid) through the bricks.
well the blockchain won't agree with this. All transactions can be verified. Maybe I missed something.

Didn't "Vinesauce" Vinny have a fairly public 'incident', legitimate mental health issues and stop live streaming as a result and switch to YouTube pre-records only?

They did it the normal way, individual private notification. It would be remiss not to mention it afterward at the next all-hands meeting.

They didn't hire anyone on a one-way broadcast-only video conference with 900 attendees.

who in their right might would think "The company missed the target by x%. Now this resulted in loss of $25B"
Not a counter to what you said, but just adding a point that might be worth thinking:

This way of telling may give impression you are inplying that CS graduates know patterns and self-taughts don't. You will certainly find self-taught who know Finite-state Machine very well, and CS graduates that might have heard but can't identify where to use nor how to implement.
Web3 Is Bullshit
I've made a similar joke that the N in FAANG really holds the whole thing together.

Just add Nvidia, Adobe
I don't include microsoft so I can say they're "working for the MAAAN."
It's funny to read this, as I have deeply offended people who had punk worldviews by suggesting they could make more money if they learned to negotiate better, but that's what this antiwork view ultimately resolves to.

What clicked is that the idea of being oppressed and dominated by other humans is the sacred axiom of a faith that defines an identity, and a subculture that is becoming a new world religion. Questioning it is like asking someone who believes in God why they can't just choose to be a better person, and maybe not only is it unncessary to believe in what appears to be a kind of divine North Korea to be good, but perhaps that aspect is even getting in their own way. That axiomatic gap is what makes views so irreconcilable.

I had some anarchist friends in the 90s who would go to socialist rallies and chant, "Lon-ger chains! Big-ger cag-es!" This went over as well as you might expect, but these antiwork people seem similar. If they persuade people to learn to negotiate for themselves, good on them, but if they convince people to sacrifice their agency and autonomy in the name of appeasing an idol that represents human domination, to me they're just another cargo cult. Still very funny though, well done.
It doesn't mean that governments are going to be funded by crypto whales, it just means that government spending will be kept on check and limited by the amount of money they can tax from people.

Politicians not being able to fund wars using a money printer is a good thing, not bad.
"Workers are forced to buy real estate that they don't need"

No, the average worker definitely isn't forced to buy more houses than they live in :D

I mean, it's always been obvious that the "lack of Gold Standard is the real reason workers are poor" is an astroturf movement by the ultra rich who have successfully lobbied for tax breaks for the rich and elimination of worker protections to blame something else [which removing would further benefit them] for the logical consequences of their actions, but the complete failure to understand what an average worker actually does with money is particularly amusing in this subthread. Strong people who don't work for a living cosplaying people who do energy here...

Since falling wage levels literally are deflation it's a bit hard to argue with a straight face that what the workers really need to be better off is a good old dose of deflationary currency.
Between ~2000-2010 I worked for an international airline and I can share that we were testing a lot more innovative search interfaces for consumers. This was still pretty much the dawn of online ticket sales, and people were still either calling an airline or going though a travel agent. I remember our group for ‘online sales’ was a team of literally ten people and technology was mostly outsourced to vendors so we were initially more of a marketing group. I remember the year we joined we crossed $1M revenue for online ticket sales and that was actually a surprise to a lot of people in the company.

This was my first real job after graduating, and one of my roles was industry research and putting together a weekly newsletter of interesting technology to keep an eye on and when ITA released Matrix we loved it.

Long story short, we wanted to do a lot of things like this, but our airline (and most others) were not developing our own tech and instead using some technology from the major GDS companies (Amadeus, SABRE, Galileo). One project I was on was working to try and implement just a basic fuzzy date search (eg +/- 3 days of your preferred date) and our GDS was quoting us something like $3M and 12months to deliver.

Luckily we had an exec who understood business, technology, and design and got resources to build out internal technology team and we started building our own technology that freed us from some of the constraints of GDS to great success!
If anything introducing new legislation clearly helps out big tech in the end by raising the bar for their (smaller) competition thus deepening their moat even further.

It's no wonder FB is pretty much always positive about this law or that law that will supposedly regulate tech in one way or another.
Ahh. SiFive's primary business is selling their cores as FPGA IP. Previous boards used FPGAs with IP flashed on them so I naively assumed this board was the same.
> And many of the workers like their jobs (even if they don't like how much they work).

But do they like their job enough to pursue it if they have their basic needs already covered? Unconditionally?

How many of them would quit and set sights on something far greater? We could find that out quite easily.
You are welcome to it. The US sliding into fascism is only helped by that kind of black and white worldview that is so uniquely American.
Absolutely agree. There are powerful politicians promising all sort of ideologies. There are weak politicians promising all sorts of ideologies.

In the end the powerful remain powerful, and the weak remain weak. IMO much of democracy is a smokescreen. With apologies to Marx, the opiate of the masses is democracy.
They had an issue with that at a military base!

Wages and profits are separate. Sure, equity vested to employees blurs that, but stock prices need not track profits either!

Employees may also rather coast than go through a stressful shakeup that quite likely won't succeed in bringing in profits.

Even if employees do want the shakeup, they are in no position to agitate for it. This would be a purely coincidental alignment of their desires with the agitating investors'.

Please understand the basics of how Capitalism works.
I’m convinced that a lot of the problems with Teams is your installation and the servers behind the system.

Teams was widely used at Whole Foods when I was there (I left in August of 2021), and that’s not a small company. And it worked very well. Better than any other chat/video conferencing solution I had seen to that date.

Now that I’m working at AWS, I’ve used Slack more extensively, and I’m still not convinced that it’s a better chat client. Maybe. Maybe not.

Internally, Amazon and AWS primarily use Chime for videoconferencing, and it’s getting better. I think Teams is still a lot better in that role, but Chime is catching up.

I have hated on Microsoft since at least 1984, if not before. And I dearly loved the early days of Skype. But even I must grudgingly admit that Teams is not a horribly bad solution in these spaces. Less bad than most others I’ve seen.

The blockchain tells you who owns the bitcoin, but it has nothing at all to do with the price at which people will exchange money for bitcoin.
Interesting. Apologies then. This was a bad assumption on my part. Is this the first time they've made their own custom SOC? To my knowledge their business is FPGA IP and previous boards used FPGAs with the IP flashed onto them.
The important detail is to not get caught publicly, generally nobody will raise a stink if western counterintel catches spies from a friendly state.
Depends on the type of large data, but since 2011 there's "Transferable" [1], where objects like ArrayBuffer, MessagePort, and ImageBitmap can be transferred with a low overhead [2]. Now, if you're passing large arbitrary object graphs, you're out of luck.

Downvotes HN? Was trying to provide some value in this comment. Would be helpful to know why that wasn’t seen as valuable relative to the other comments here that generically thank OP for posting…

I should add that I used to run a usability consulting firm so my suggestion came from having personally conducted over 1k usability interviews early in my career.
Belgium and Estonia, at least. It's part of the national id.
The blockchain has nothing to do with dollars. The "value" that disappeared has always been illusory.
I dunno, I've been on the subreddit of the same name and some of the messages really are anti-work as such, not just anti-exploitation.

Sometimes I'm reminded of that Ferengi quote "we don't seek to end exploitation, we seek to become the exploiters."
Exact same amount of BTC is still around, or more actually. What it is valued in dollars is different...

Valuation was lost. Not actual coins. That works with any stocks...
Why does Apple allow Plaid apps in the App Store?
In my opinion Plaid is one of the worst things to ever happen to individual data & financial security. Beyond creating the single greatest target for attacks it goes against one of the most fundamental rules: never share username & password with anyone.

Handing your password over to Plaid gives them every bit of data accessible from your bank's web account. They can get as much information in the time it takes to screen scrape your account as the credit bureaus have collected on you in years. Their TOS lets them get everything available as far back as your bank will let them go and does not contain any financial guarantee whatsoever for when they are inevitably hacked.

But now apps are being approved that use Plaid without even confirming to the user that they are talking to Plaid because it's all being done in-app! No one can tell if they are sending their bank login (username, passsword, sometimes security questions / answers & one-time-passwords) to Plaid or a random third party because it happens outside of a browser.

Why is Apple approving apps that use Plaid?
I agree, but the reason I said "semi-independent" is that I'm not sure the data/ calculation is independent confirmation, so much as an "independent" re-calculation of the same underlying Inmarsat-derived data.

(Hopefully someone can chime in that's more familiar with the WSPR effort.)

Ie., 1)Is WSPR using additional data sources other than the Inmarsat sourced observations (even if 3rd party observations of the Inmarsat signal), and

2) Can WSPR calculations based on those observations confirm the Inmarsat coords both with and without using the Inmarsat data as a constitute component?

3) And the same idea applies to Godfrey's calcs, relative to both the Inmarsat data and the WSPR community's contributions.

RE: Your edit. Yes, the confirmation bias is sort of another way of stating the similar idea. Did he take the same data and play with it until "it looked right"? Vs taking different data, but possibly still having confirmation biases in reaching a similar conclusion?

Versus a completely independent method, where various data components can be included/omitted without coming to contradictory solutions.

The airport traffic pattern info you mention at least partially refutes the latter option. If presenting ambiguous results, you've got to at least state both/all possibilities where they exist before using extraneous information to exclude some of them.

Including the blind (wrong) guess just looks bad.
Have you ever read a newspaper? Newspapers are full of op-eds, commentary, and opinion.

Some quality newspapers will separate the two, having a section for reporting facts, and a section for opinions, but many papers don't have this strict distinction.

And to be honest, the fact that some Google subcontractor fired an employee isn't really the kind of world-shattering news that warrants a strictly fact based objective news article that everyone must read about. It's just not important enough. You can however use it as a hook for an opinion piece, like this reporter has done.
There were some false accusations that forced him offline for a bit. I haven't followed it very closely since, but he's been live quite a bit recently. Even still, the fact that the dude streamed for 20-30 hours a week for more than 10 years is the stuff of legend.

Scratch what I've said. Some other comments have enlightened me that this is actually a proper SOC so I can't answer this properly. In the past they've used FPGAs (IP cores are their primary business) for dev boards but it looks like they have reached sufficient momentum to justify a dedicated ASIC run.
I would say the article's $300,000 model is realistic though. This has been a conversation I've had with my advisor a few times over the years. PhD students get paid a small amount but then there's all the Hollywood accounting that goes on in the back about where funds for their healthcare, taxes, tuition, etc come from.
I assume every single website does this.
Its an especially bad take in a thread about Bitcoin losing ~13% of its value in the last 24 hours.
I would say next proper stock market crash. Now when will that happen is not easy question, but I'm certain something will happen at some point.
No, I am talking about the technical one. $300B technically did not evaporate because $300B technically were never there.
USD erosion and buying power erosion are two different things. If salaries go up almost as much, they’ll still be able to buy the soda and fries. If not, McDs might even do better, because no one will be able to afford $10 soda and $25 fries at a better restaurant, and will settle for McDonald’s instead.
Let’s see what these numbers look like after massive COVID vaccinations.
Numbers are one thing but it seems that these brands are growing under now. It's not the original product/brand but infrastructure, research, future unrelated projects.
The record of transactions are only of BTC Wallet->BTC Wallet transactions. They say nothing about how much they're worth in other currencies or materials. And even if they did, like we can get essentially all stock market transaction data (stock X sold for Y at time T), it doesn't prevent the value from going down (or up) independently of that historical price. It just creates certain points of resistance where it's harder for it to move beyond, but it can still happen. See the various stock market crashes in the past.
Long term evolution of the virus would do that yes, but there is no guarantee that any particular mutation go in that manner.

Alpha was just as deadly but more transmissible. While Delta was both more transmissible and more deadly for example.
ITT we pretend we're smarter than some guy by refusing to understand how exchanges work.
And assuming no counter measures. The deadlier the virus, the more measures we take. So it's in the virus' interest to become relatively benign.
