> No, seriously, now what do you do? You're in SEC OPS. Not dev ops. You're certainly not in the dev team with access to the Git repo of some random vendor product like Tableau, or JIRA, or whatever[2]. You didn't deploy it. It got installed by a contractor during a short-term project three years ago.

Your company has an inventory of hosts to teams which you can look up and contact. In addition the package manager tracks which package the file belongs to. Therefore you raise a ticket with the team from the inventory tracker that package XYZ on host ABC contains vulnerable file /x/y/z/log4j-xyz.jar (The reverse is also true, for each package we can find the corresponding repo and set of hosts its deployed on). Fixing it is now that team's problem, and secs ops guy's problem is now just to verify when they claim to have fixed it.

If the software is JIRA? Doesn't matter, still needs a package built before it gets deployed on our machine. "No really, the vendor's only supported installation method is sudo curl | bash" - into a container it goes, the owning team of the container can be identified much the same way as the owning team of the host.

Now the problem you find is sometimes the result is that the host belongs to team XYZ and you find the team was reorged by some exec's great idea in 2019 and only one guy who used to be on the team is still in the company, but he left the team in 2018 and has no idea what that team did since he left, but the application has been still runnning and power $millions of real revenue. That one is much harder to fix by automation. The business reality is the security team can't enforce to the execs to not lay anyone off or disband any teams without a concrete transition plan for their systems.

Please stop abusing the EMA data to spread misinformation. The website very clearly states:

The information on this website relates to suspected side effects, i.e. medical events that have been observed following the administration of the COVID-19 vaccines, but which are not necessarily related to or caused by the vaccine.

Without knowledge of the expected background rate of such events, the data is impossible to interpret. In no way does it show that the vaccines are unsafe.

Control of South China sea is far too important for china to ignore Taiwan, also Taiwan's dominance in chip design/manufacturing would give china enormous influence over the world.
The endgame is robotic replacement for skilled labor.

The pandemic has forced technology companies to push harder on communication products and development of virtual places.

Severely diminished trade with China would require an acceleration in manufacturing technology on a scale that could only be borne out of necessity.

Recognizing that robotics technology is orders of magnitude more challenging than an improved Zoom interface, It won’t come easy. But the demand will be there and so would be the creativity to overcome the challenges.
It might not be hard for you to spot those people. But as best I can tell, the median software developer has a not-very-good manager. So I suspect quite a lot of people could get away with some sandbagging.

That's a shame, as that's exactly the fear not-very-good managers have of remote work. I expect we'll see a reaction toward proctological monitoring of remote workers, even professional software developers.
There always is and there always will be.
I agree with this and have experience with the Sales Engineering side of it. Any enterprise software company needs a field sales team with technical people to back up the sales reps. Sales Engineers or Solution Architects own the "technical close" of a deal. Once the customer says your technology solves their problems and they're not looking at any competitors, your job is done. Rarely do you have to do any salesy activity like negotiating contracts, "closing deals", cold calling etc.

You give demos, proof of concepts, and talk shop with your customers. Most of it can be done remotely, but for important customers, you travel in your territory. As long as you're close to an airport, you're good.

Ask HN: Banned from Facebook/meta services without explanation
This is a request for help with FB and Insta accounts. I am aware this happens quite a bit, though not sure if it's usually anything so completely unexplained. Any tips on how to approach this are appreciated.

No warning notice, just banned instantly from both Facebook and Instagram, which I use for marketing as an ISV and a coach. No real explanation.

Screenshots:

In the facebook appeals form they request a photo of user identification such as passport. I'm not sure I feel comfortable sharing all the sensitive info on it. Is it i.e. okay to cover up my Finnish social security number ending part from this?

The whole process seems horribly broken. Is this normal?

Details:

On Friday night at around 9pm Finnish time (UTC+2) I was on my laptop. I switched to Facebook tab and it suddenly told me I had activity on facebook that goes against community guidelines.

I hadn't posted anything this week, except as instagram stories that get synced to my coaching page, which hasn't been closed. I don't think I post anything very controversial, related to covid or otherwise.

In the first screen I saw (screenshot in above url)
they asked me to push a big blue button to indicate I disagree with the decision.

They sent me and I received a SMS verification code but the web ui still said sending the code failed so I couldn't enter the code. After trying a couple of times, they say I've tried too many times and there is a delay of 24h. Even after the 24h passed, I still get this.

Every time I enter now on my cell phone, I get this screen that claims to show the violating content I have posted, except the photo grid only shows blank grey rectangles. Pressing the "Continue" button gives a grey spinner and does nothing.

Today the time at which they claim I posted those violating images had changed. Originally it was 8:51pm on Friday night. Now they said it was 1:51 am yesterday, i.e on Saturday morning, by which time the account had already been suspended for several hours.

Accessing on my cell phone I managed to get the instagram verification process started. Just now I found another form where I could give my userid/phone number and a scanned photo of personal ID.

My business pages are still up, but I have no way of accessing them.

Thanks for any pointers on how to proceed!

W2 means you are an employee, so no, the tax situation will be different.
Fully concur. I recieved stock appreciation rights (SARs) as a bonus at one company for a few years. CEO drove company into the ground that effectively wiped out all of these SARs. I was bitter at the CEO for making stupid decisions, but not at the fact that my bonus was in the form of SARs. If I'd have stuck to my guns more, the company would have probably succeeded and the SARs could have had significant value.

Bottom line, with stock payment, you have a say in their ultimate value. Do good work, company value invreases, you enrich yourself.
> All that would happen is that the Chinese government would become even more authoritarian and a whole lot of people would be worse off. These fantasies always seem to ignore the human cost.

Your suggestion is that the rest of the world should play nice with China, and accept an invasion of a free nation (Taiwan) and its people because not doing so would hurt Chinese nationals within China?

Chinese people suffering due to the CCP is bad, certainly. But what's worse is another country (having nothing to do with the CCP) suffering for it.
$20 is good to you. To Uber, it's an insignificant spec.
It is unethical because you are lying to people in an effort to manipulate their natural state. As a researcher, you have to balance the good in a research study versus the bad, and you can’t always predict how bad the outcome will be. There are review boards in place to make theses decisions.

Here’s an example. Your doctor calls to talk to you about you sexual health. You discuss at length about all the issues you’ve been having lately, and you break into tears when your doctor tells you it’s permanent. At the end of the call, your doctor explains that he/she was joking, and that you just have low vitamin levels. You find your anecdotal story in the front page of a medical journal the next year.

You can imagine similar situations where someone calls to tell you have cancer and observes for a month. Or that your significant other died in a car crash this morning. Or if someone claims they are suing you for a large amount of money. In all those cases, the person contacted may have a mental breakdown or worse.
I'm quite sure the five weeks he mentioned don't include official holidays. In the Netherlands it's also five weeks on top of a number of official holidays, and we gave the lowest number of those in the EU (7 iirc, some of which may be weekend Sat's in some years, like Christmas now).

Of course good companies typically don't offer only the minimum.
What is the right answer then? Current approaches certainly don't seem to be helping, both on the China front but also at the UN

Omicron is real. It's having very tangible impacts on the ability of countries to provide necessary healthcare services to their citizens. People who normally should be first in line to receive care (cancer patients and the like) are having their critical services interrupted or deferred.

Just because you personally don't see the impact doesn't mean it isn't there.
Considering that Easter Front was responsible for 80% of German deaths in WWII looks like marketing is what you're selling.

+1 thanks for that, now that I think about this issue, that is the way I feel also.

A few of my friends think I am overboard when I talk positively about China, but really I am just reacting to how wonderful the people there were when my wife and I travelled in China, and I also really respect their AI tech, their tech in general, and how so many people have moved out of poverty.

It is just their current government that I don’t like.
if you want to make $250k, you need to charge much closer to $250/hr. Billing hours as a contractor or consultant is not the same as working hours as a FTE. You need to basically figure you’re going to average 20 hours/week to cover non-billable time, leave, taxes, etc.

The good news is that clients paying these rates will actually listen to you rather than treat you as a cog in a machine. (Another reason i prefer the term “consultant” to “contractor”)

> Did the basic training and looking forward to start jumping in wingsuit next year

Nice! Thought about paragliding too, but decided I like the action of flying in a wingsuit more. Booked my first tandem skydiving jump and will start the basic training in 2022. In Germany we're only allowed wingsuit jumps when we complete 200 normal jumps, do you know if there's a jurisdiction where this requirement is lower?

A state-directed control of capitalism, of which the façade will be dropped immediately if their ironclad control of the political will is threatened for a second. They have punished huge companies for placing profit over human life, because it threatens "communist values". In my opinion that is placing principles over profit. Despite these principles being what they are. That is not a value judgment of China, simply a statement that they are not willing to throw away a percentage point of authoritarian control for a few more bucks.

> China has one primary governing principle, which is to keep the CCP in power.

Yes, which they place above profit motive. It seems like you agree with above

> if they just stopped talking about Taiwan I doubt many people in the mainland would care

Not at all.

For a mainlander, Taiwan _is_ a region of China, think of it as Hawai for the US.

People in the west see Taiwan as a separate country that China tries to forcibly absorb.

People in mainland see Taiwan as a region of China that tries to be independent.

Also, there is a lot of eyes on the Taiwan case from mainlanders because other regions of China are seen as potential underdogs for independence, due to cultural heritage (and wealth), such as Shangai.
It isn't that easy. It's not just China's government that believes Taiwan is part of China — China's people also believe that. There is a saying that if China is democratic, they would have invaded Taiwan yesterday. Or another saying: if the president lets go of Taiwan, the CCP would be overthrown tomorrow.

Another factor that complicates things is the fact that Taiwan is a strategic location for the US's military containment of China. The whole "first island chain" depends on it. The US knows it, China's life depends on it.

There's a reason why this issue has persisted since 1949 and why it's China's "reddest of the red lines".
the trade-offs are probably made to maximize profits for shareholders, and security is deprioritized as a negative externality.
I highly doubt they would. Most of the governments worldwide are realists, most of the time they are doing lip services, not many have the gut to do what Lithuanian do.
Probably nowhere near as much as I intended once I find out how that office actually works. I like the things that people are proposing in this thread but I also imagine there is some unseen barrier that seems to prevent the same intelligent well meaning people from reaching that level of office.

Honest question for to your question for the people of HN. Can anyone think of a time in history where someone with the intelligent and critical thinking qualities of the people on this thread have ever attained even close to that level of office? FDR? I am not a historian but I suspect some of you are. Am I being too cynical?
> Desktop OSs have been able to do these sorts of things since the 1980s without all the hoops Linux Desktop software makes you jump through to do them.

Linux desktops can do this. Flatpak maybe can't (Idk, I don't use them that often, but I'd be surprised if they couldn't), but even before AppImage, Flatpak, Snap, etc you could always just run an application from wherever you want. You could do that 20 years ago, and you can do it today.

Desktops in the 80s didn't have sandboxing, but modern Linux desktops do. You can either implement sandboxing yourself through syscalls, use something like Systemd, or use the significantly more user friendly Flatpaks.

...Or don't use sandboxing at all, and do whatever you want. Download a (hopefully statically-linked) ELF from the internet, chmod +x it, then execute.

> standard in Linux Desktop application distribution

There is no such thing. There never has been, and there never will be :P

The principle does not have to be ethical or moral or consistent to a philosophy. What OP saying is china does the ability (and uses it) to make unpopular decisions both to Chinese corporations or people unlike other politicians who are beholden to either voters or corporations.

Can you Share it ?????
Have you considered the difference between "hide emotions" and "repress emotions";
or on the flip-side.. "show emotions" and "accept emotions".

Personally, the "show emotions" should always be reasonable and proportional to to the current situation, whether you are a man or woman. Children being the exception, as they're still learning about all this stuff, and their rational minds do not fully develop until 25 years.
This is a typical playbook for "big tech". I've encountered this multiple times with different companies, not just Uber - they will make it as hard as possible for you to get what is rightfully owned to you. You can successfully get it back if you fight hard enough (and if not a payment card dispute/chargeback will work) but their strategy relies on most people giving up.

I can't wait for this disgusting industry to be more regulated.
Yeah, I'd done it once or twice before, and it went well since nobody called, and so I did not for a moment think about the difference. It helped strongly reinforce to make sure stuff is disconnected, not just "not harmful right this instance", before touching it.
And doing so is still copyright infringement.
Sure it can. I can show that Bored Ape #99 came from the same contract as Bored Ape #98.
HDMI capture cards can definitely use CPU, and this is the case for most USB capture cards as USB does not have enough bandwidth to send an entire raw stream in realtime.

Agree! At least in the US, this kind of total comp is possible at my employer (Datadog) and many other public companies, not just FAANG mega-corps. Typically you’d have to be “senior” or “staff” engineer, or get lucky and join during a period of stock growth. The pandemic really changed things to make remote work more viable. Previously many companies limited it to exceptional cases (long tenure in-person followed by the move to remote).

I had basically the same experience. I had messed with phone wires a lot, and they were always harmless, until someone called one day. I messed with them more carefully from then on :P
2 weeks (as in 10 non-holiday days) is pretty normal in the US, even if you get more. I get 4 paid but I barely take two and bank the rest. My European parents think I'm crazy but they're used to a pretty nice safety net when you get old, and the concept of early financial independence never entered their mind.
You need to find companies who pay enough. 99% of recruiters, jobs on LinkedIn are not paying enough, you need to network, find job opportunities through friends. Use your references from previous jobs. Join tech communities and make friends / show your technical prowess. Most of the jobs I accepted in my career were via word of mouth and with ex coworkers inside the company to put a good word.

I'm living in Europe, working for a European company and pulling 200k$ in base salary with no equity (as a contractor in a different country, treated like an employee, but no sick pay or paid holidays) + some other online businesses netting some variable amounts.
I live in a low cost and low tax location - so I can pocket roughly 85% of the profits.
One way that really helped me to negotiate higher salary is to have recurring revenue on the side which could support my lifestyle. I'm transparent about that with employers and they know I'm running some side businesses.

Given you're already making a significant amount of money I would focus on optimising taxes / location and then focusing on creating other passive / semi passive revenue streams.
Most underrated comment of 2021.
Let's be clear, visas are handled separately because they are separate countries.

Maps are just political theatre. The vintage ROC map you are referring to also includes Mongolia and parts of Russia (Chinese territories that Mao/CCP ceded), but no one in Taiwan is seriously making those claims. Note the CCP lays claim over the SCS based on an old 9-dashed map made by the ROC.

Years ago we took one of the happy birthday tune cards and connected it to the floppy drive hinge on a PC, the developer was convinced we had installed a TSR program to play it every time he inserted a floppy, not realising it was a hardware hack. Weeks of fun until he found out.
I don't know where you're from, but I'm from California where the 70's were an exciting time of personal exploration, not much of that East Coast despair (Gerald Ford to bankrupt New York City - "Drop Dead"). Then came the 80's which were a reaction to all the touchy feely stuff and the explosion of cocaine use, which translated into "Greed is Good" and making money. It turned out computers were a great way to make money in Silicon Valley and that continues to this day.
It's like they want the rest of the world to hate them.
