See, the thing is-- MANY times in the past I've "perked up," nearly 100% that I'll switch from the thing I started with -- and end up ALWAYS going back, forgetting how much I have to put in.

This is why I think some cynicism here might be healthy; I think software has a LOT of wasted repeated effort by developers; mostly due to a little too much "let me make a product" mentality and not enough "free/open source" mentality*

and again before the pitchforks come out, I'm emphatically not saying FOSS is always superior, but I do think this balance is presently off.
Ironically, one of the most important American values is that government must not have the power to compel us to uphold good American values.
The poster above is inflating by about 15-25%. The “junior”/L4/E4 , level (one above entry level and one below senior) makes ~$270k at Google/Facebook according to levels.fyi [0]. Senior comp can vary more because the band is wide but $500k year would be possible with some stock appreciation.

The “Broad Daylight” is an academic research, which necessarily cites related work or previous work, including of Zenz.

This is how academic research works. Citing Zenz per se does not make the the “Broad Daylight” less credible.

If people are against Zenz, please judge the “Broad Daylight” report by ignoring all reference to and evidence provided by Zenz.

If you find specific flaws with “Broad Daylight”, please list them so that we can discuss.

Saying that it cites Zenz is just pointing out how academic research works, and does not invalidate the report.

> Bitterwinter or HKFP are also far from reliable, on par with Epochetimes bias.

Bitterwinter is not used as a news source here, just an Op-Ed, because all needed reporting are supported by other news sources such as SCMP.

HKFP is just reporting what Hugo Boss headquarter and its Chinese branch are doing, with links to sources. You can follow the links to judge for yourself [1], or find alternative sources reporting the same [2]: Hugo Boss Chinese branch is making unauthorized Weibo post contradicting the Hugo Boss global headquarter.

So the local branch does not represent the headquarter [2], just like BCI Shanghai does not represent BCI headquarter (as reported by SCMP).

[1]: https://group.hugoboss.com/fileadmin/media/pdf/sustainabilit... "HUGO BOSS Statement on the Chinese region of Xinjiang"

[2]: https://www.reuters.com/article/china-xinjiang-hugo-boss-idI... "Chinese celebs, netizens slam 'two-faced' Hugo Boss over Xinjiang"

(And no, HKFP is more credible than Epochtimes, as [2] just validated the HKFP reporting, but this is a red herring for the current discussion.)
It's satirical. The whole point is that there is no value proposition. The project is not in any way associated with Olive Garden.
I wonder if the "they aren't profitable" myth is strategically beneficial to promulgate.
Spam detection is quite distinct from content moderation. Your email provider most likely does have some form of spam detection, but probably not much content moderation.

Also, I think most of us are not that puritan, and don't think that platforms should ban all porn.
and then the broken up parts just collaborate with each other and you get the same result with some extra paperwork
I think removing the side panel would ruin your Mac's look more than a hidden switch behind the side panel does.
I , in the other hand, prefer a company that understand that they run a business, they pay me, I work, and that's the end of it. I don't need to be inspired by any egomaniac in some sort of culty "we are a family" company , or work my ass of to make someone else's dream true. Spending time with family, friends, nature, ... etc. is way more important than slaving away for some ramdo.
> In the case of earthquakes, their very unpredictability, the brief period of time avialable in which to make an alert (often only a few seconds, in cases a few minutes) means that manual cross-validation is all but impossible.

For the earthquake alarm there is absolutely no manual intervention. These are automatic alarms exploiting the fact that the speed of light in air is faster than the speed of sound in rock. Earthquakes move approximately 1km/s, so if you are 3km away from the epicenter, you get a maximum of 3 seconds warning. Throw a human in the loop and there's no way they'd respond fast enough.
I agree with you. It will efficiently allocate resources for an inefficient application. But when your system can't handle the load anymore, you'll have to allocate more resources and k8s will handle it for you like magic.

It's so easy that people can use thousands of machines to handle the load. This with the "hardware is cheap, dev time is expensive", makes it common to see those kind of very large systems.
Before taxes? After taxes more like six.
Stripe is still private company: the SDE1 "my stock > FAANG" folks shouldn't consider that yet until they're fully vested.

The rest tier-1, tier-2 are on avg below 200k. Some get closer to 200k but majority are not. Facebook would be the "gold standard" for now.
> Sry Moxie, you lost my trust when you temporarily took the signal codebase closed source

It never was closed source. They simply implemented a feature before uploading the code. Is there a rule to how how many commits need to be made in a time period? No.

> to integrate some cryptocurrency scams into it.

You clearly haven't read enough about why they chose to implement a payment system and why they chose to create their own. There are very good reasons they did both. Don't be salty because they didn't use the one you hold.

> why would I choose a messenger that requires a phone number over another that does not ?

Unless something has changed recently, telegram absolutely required my phone number. Signal is also working on replacing phone numbers with usernames.

> Mainly because the app is more stable and doesn't dictate its philosophy to the user. Proper e2e encryption has tradeoffs. Why shouldn't the user decide for which conversations he is willing to place convenience over security ?

One can't claim to be a secure encrypted chat app but then not enable it by default. It's completely fine to not have encryption, but it's not ok to mislead people into believing it's encrypted all the time.

> Why do you lose your history when you switch between android and ios ?

Mostly because signal doesn't store your messages. There is no central server that has all your info and chat history like telegram does. It makes this harder
What’s the company? Asking for a friend
Why is it suspicious that an HNer wants to get in touch with a like-minded individual?
Keep getting Resource Limit Reached errors, which is pretty ironic.
The joke is that this is exactly like any other NFT. All you own is the NFT, not the art or Olive Garden the NFT points to.
"You think getting promoted at FAANG gives you an over 50% increase in total comp as the norm?"

It's like $30-50K base each level (~18-25%), but the stock grants can make a huge difference. As a junior engineer you might make ~$35K/year in stock grants; at staff it's like $200K+; and at principal it's $600K+. In total comp you can easily go from ~$350K/year at senior to $500K at staff to $750K at senior staff to $1M at principal, which is close to 50% each time.

Note that the biggest benefit is that getting promoted opens you up to having more negotiating leverage. If the company doesn't want to keep you or if they're sure they'll keep you anyway, then sure, you'll be getting < 10% raises. Same if you came in at a very high baseline because of savvy negotiating or lots of competing offers. But if you're managing a critical team with a sustained record of high performance and then you get an offer elsewhere, that's what opens you up to those $M+ stock counteroffers. Junior engineers are not going to get that regardless of performance, because they just aren't that important to the business.
The premise here, which you haven't engaged with, is that you can get 2 remote jobs and end up with 80% more income than you would have with just one of them, all without negotiating well or needing to do "great" work.

You can claim that's BS or not, but, you really need to bring more to it than "nuh uh."
> Sometimes I wonder if the people saying this stuff really even work there. It's not impossible, but the kind of person who would be promoted that fast wouldn't be working two crappy jobs to begin with.

In my experience, people often stumble into these situations by simply not quitting their old job when they get a new job.

The idea is to continue to collect paychecks from the old job until they lay you off with severance.

This usually catches up with people later on when someone puts two and two together or hears from a friend of a friend that the person is working at a certain company. Imagine being recruited to a new company and seeing your former company coworker in Slack and he's been there for months. Word gets around.

This absolutely destroys reference checks. Another reason to always do reference checks and always confirm someone's end dates with the other company.
> So what? Do I get to host my website with my DNS server? I am failing to see your point.

You responded to someone who was talking about “certified original one of a kind URL pointing to the image they host”. In that case, you are dependent on them continuing to exist or exiting gracefully (i.e. do their contracts allow you to change the target?).

If you mirror it in time, you can of course pay to update it to point somewhere else but it again highlights that all of this infrastructure is very expensively duplicating an existing decentralized system but worse performance and reliability than the web.
False negatives and positives are just a reality that every content moderation system is going to have.
I don't see this problem of trust evidencing itself anywhere in my daily life. I do not commonly consider that my bank will become corrupt and take my money, or that the county land manager will take my property because of nepotism. 90% of the websites I have accounts with haven't abused my trust in any significant way, other than data breaches.

I understand that these things are possible. But it doesn't seem worth any level of effort to a resolve a problem that doesn't occur and doesn't seem likely
This feels like peak artificial scarcity...or some sort of dystopian capitalism run amok.

Speaking as someone who's intimately familiar with automotive maintenance (its my job) your best bet if you're in the market for a car is always used. You'll miss out on the latest fad gadgets but most cars in the last decade are reliable to at least 250k miles and don't pull these kind of cash grab gimmicks.

The nicest thing you can get is off brand luxury. Hyundai equus or any Acura is going to meet and exceed your expectations for comfort and performance well after 100k miles, .and your insurance is lower because they aren't a painted target for theft. Crooks want Mercedes rims, they generally don't care about what's rolling along on a Chrysler 300
I’m not at all an expert, but I’m pretty sure the answer is no? Aren’t a lot of these NFTs some simple fixed-size collection of random vectors that when run through a generative art algorithm generates a unique variation of an avatar image?
Lazy? Not true. We are getting more comfortable admitting that we don't give a shit about our employers beyond what is required. If only the rest of the economy had the same luxury.
L4 is around $300k, L5 is around $500k 500/300 = 1.6. At many of these companies, if you haven't gotten to the next step in about 2 years until L5, you start becoming a target and managed out, and I know multiple former coworkers who have been promoted from L4 -> L5 within a year or two, especially if you have a mentor or actively research on how to get yourself get promoted vs. just being passive about it.
In California, yes, you can, provided the employers don't compete in the same areas of business. Your work on your off time is yours, provided it doesn't relate to your employer's businesses.
Sadly - I have been dying to find split screen mode games for RPGs to play with kids and it is really slim picking out there. I keep hearing the economics of building games for this (space, content, ux etc) are just not worth it. sigh!
You're right, if I held all Euros which are used in something like 33% of worldwide forex trades, then everything would be dandy and the government wouldn't mind at all that I wasn't paying in dollars. That's why every American has lots of Euros.

The dollar isn't better managed than all the other currencies. It's a network effect of debt denominated in USD, one of the most relevant of which is that taxes for about 25% of global GDP is paid in dollars.
That's like pointing out the secretary of defense is a rich secretary.. He didn't get the job for his typing skills.
E4/L4 is SDE2 (intermediate).
The phone system was already a large collection of inter-operable regional system. Facebook (the core product) exists as a monolith. They would have to invent, built out, and scale up a completely new technology stack to support federation. That's not on the table.

The potential break-up of FB would be along business units (Oculus, Insta, Ad Network, etc).
The article says Facebook considers this a mistake in their censorship system; they aren't ok with banning Christmas messages. Although keeping an eye on them for signs of overt racism and religious bigotry is a good idea given the amount of power they have and their willingness to exercise it over political topics.
It’s pretty easy to tell. One mid level dev on my team will work on a trivial change to a PR for a full day when it would take me literally 15-30 minutes. Trivial stuff like changing a few names and adding a basic test case. It’s kind of annoying to make multiple deploys of useful things per day and then get given more work when other people can maybe get a small thing out every few weeks. I’m trying to scale my effort back since it’s not really noticed
I own a massive gas guzzler, and a Tesla. The massive gas guzzler is used to pickup the kids, and drives less than 50 miles a week. I use it to pull a boat a few times a year. And sometimes we take it on road-trips (sorry Tesla, the supercharger network isn’t that good yet), or take it camping with the dogs. Total cost is still less than $0.50/mile.

But, the vast majority of our miles around town are in the Tesla.

Me owning such a massive vehicle keeps it out of the hands of someone who would drive it even more, and provides me with incredible utility when I need it.

Sure, I’d like an electric pickup, but an older, low mileage, huge gas guzzler makes more sense. If I bought a Cybertruck (which I probably will) it’s more likely to take the place of the mileage I currently spend in the Model 3. I’m
not letting the nanny drive the kids in the Cybertruck (too expensive) and I’m unlikely to tow a boat with it (does anyone believe the Cybertruck is going to have reasonable range while towing?).

I’ll likely continue this gas guzzler/Tesla duo for the foreseeable future. As an early electric car adopter, I’m more likely to be a late gas retiree. It just makes sense.
"the company is not teaching them good skills."

Do companies actually teach anyone, ever?

"If they joined as a jr engineer at a FANGMULA or equivalent, they would be making $300k,"

This assumes they could spend the time to pass the interview and then deal with the performance expectations. Losers like me could probably work two $80k jobs if they are simple enough. But I'll never get into FAANG, nor would they pay me $300k for a remote role.

"They think that promos (like this article), are at most only %10, while promos are more like a x1.5 to x2 of your income."

Where the hell do you work!? My company gives a 7% raise with a promotion. I want one of these $300k jobs with a 2x promotion. Even the $150k job would be a 50% raise for me. I have been looking for a while and see almost nothing over $120k.
An automated system had a false-positive that was later corrected manually. The news here is that the system works?
Yes, and again... so what? My argument from the beginning (and from the comment I linked) is that NFTs are not about storing data. The NFT "market" is not just about storing JPEGs at specific urls.

Using Bored Apes (or any "digital art" project) as an argument against the "whole" of NFT is just a strawman. That is my point.
Its okay for ceos to run multiple companies st one time, but people who think they are capable of doing two dev jobs remotely are dishonest..?
I'm not denying that you can make a lot of money.

I'm saying that I know a lot of people who've been promoted.

1. Getting promoted in 2 years, especially once you're midlevel is very rare.

2. People at the lowest level (E3/L3/59 etc etc) are not receiving a 50% increase in total comp by being promoted usually.

People are getting confused because FAAANG stock has increased so much, and many bullish employees have not sold their stock and so their compensation (including appreciation) went up 50% during COVID. It's a trend that will likely not continue.
It is a world-historical moral affirmation to deny sensual pleasures, likely because this recursiveness causes us to live closer to animals seeking utility from their bodies than immortals.

"But we must not follow those who advise us, being men, to think of human things, and, being mortal, of mortal things, but must, so far as we can, make ourselves immortal, and strain every nerve to live in accordance with the best thing in us; for even if it be small in bulk, much more does it in power and worth surpass everything."-Aristotle, Nichomachaen Ethics, Book X, 6
Remember when the Ethereum "community" decided to roll back millions of dollars of transactions? All of these decentralised services are under the total control of a small number of powerful people. It's a myth.
"Guilty until proven innocent" is a very drastic change of policy.
> Signal with their “we trust Intel SGX to be single point of failure” kinda smells like a government honey pot.

It wouldn't matter if it was. I don't believe it is, but it wouldn't matter. Signals entire design is to NOT trust any server. Messages are encrypted on the device before it's ever sent to signals servers. This is verifiably proven since the code is all open source. Every signal message could be logged and it still wouldn't matter thanks to signals ratcheting algorithm.
>You can add an escrow system or even use a reputation-based approach as a way to manage fraud, but the idea is that it is optional. If all you want is to buy some cheap and fast content online, you can't do that with credit card but you can with crypto.

I don't understand how this follows at all, the only thing you've added here is that you can't get your money back if the "cheap and fast content" turns out to be a scam. I can't understand why anyone would want this to be optional.

>Please point me to one micropayment solution that does not involve middlemen and/or extraordinarily high fees (in proportion to the value of the transaction).

This would be any virtual currency where you buy it to spend directly with the market operator, the kind you see on prepaid cards in retail stores. That's in the context of a vendor like OnlyFans that runs a marketplace of sorts; if you consider that to be a middleman and you only want some completely peer-to-peer solution then that's a different question with different risks from what we were originally discussing, and most cryptocurrency doesn't fit that definition anyway.

>Find me some non-crypto alternative where she can get that amount with minimal loss. We can compare notes later if you want, but I can tell you a crypto alternative where the cost is less than 0.3%.

I'm not really interested to search around for every exchange I can find and make a comparison, but I would be very skeptical of any crypto-based solution claiming they can lower fees here. The costs of doing bank transfers are the same regardless of whether you use crypto as the medium to move the money. There's probably something else they're doing.

This is getting towards my main problem with these crypto conversations, we're moving away from what the technology actually brings and instead we're getting into only comparing fees without considering any of the other details of what we're actually doing. I find this to be a pointless angle to take; there isn't going to be a period where we use cryptocurrency and we can totally avoid fees, because an explicit goal of every cryptocurrency I've seen is actually to make it so participants can't avoid paying fees. And when you get into smart contracts, every participant can now start acting as a middleman and charging more of their own fees in addition to the transaction and gas costs you pay to the network.
I don't know if Olive Garden corporate will get the joke. I suppose OpenSea better hope that they do.
A year? The article says this was proposed on October 22nd. But yeah, this seems like a plan they should have jumped on more quickly.
Thank you for mentioning UB. I like Rust quite a bit, but once you trigger UB, things get nasty really, really fast. It feels like you’re using gcc at -O5 (not a real thing). It’s not like C/C++ in which you can sort of infer the consequences of UB on a single platform with enough experience.

It is greatly helped by compiler warnings, but; still, UB in Rust can be downright brutal.
Yep, can confirm. Worked a company where a remote employee got a new job but didn't bother quitting. He put in just enough work to pretend to be making progress and gave a lot of excuses about why his project was delayed.

Eventually someone figured it out. Management was furious. Remote work restrictions were tightened and everyone suddenly had far more check-ins to ensure we were actually working every day.

I heard they also contacted the person's new job and filled them in on the double-work situation. That person was universally hated and I don't know anyone at the company who would give them a positive reference.
Isn't that that MO of most big tech companies that don't sell things. Get as many eye balls and sell ads.
That's a great idea! Let's ban all moderation! What could go wrong?

I, for one, am so tired of Google CENSORING these so-called "spam" emails! How DARE they declare themselves the arbiters of what is and isn't spam! It's an OUTRAGEOUS ABUSE of POWER!
>There's no way to tell what is in illegally manufactured drugs.

Legal items are counterfeited all the time. And lots of cannabis in California's legal cannabis market comes from illegal grows with unsupervised processes, for example.
Clearly you have a strong dislike for the tech, and that's fine I don't care of course, but do keep in mind that there are ways to isolate risk pretty easily. Even if the technology doesn't result in a huge change in how auth is done to scale in the way that Okta does, there is value in simplifying authentication / authorization workflows for users that decide they want to participate in the web3 ecosystem.

As a solo developer making applications in the ecosystem, it's a breath of fresh air to not deal with Oauth+OIDC workflows and utilize wallet connectivity + token authorization to very elegantly handle these scenarios on smaller projects. End user experiences are pretty great too, I quite enjoy being able to authenticate into a website without needing to associate everything with my email address and/or rely on 3rd parties to provide trust solutions such as SSO via Google/FB/Okta/whatever.

And yes, the risk is higher in a decentralized model because if my private keys are compromised on most wallet types, then I can lose my funds / identity. There are solutions to help lower this risk however.
That sounds interesting but is not worth the work for the zero people who will use it.
"Because I can't trust them, they shouldn't be able to trust me" isn't a good moral philosophy to live by, that's for sure.
