Not true either, Directors at FAANG have wayyyy more pressure than people who have bootstrapped their own business. Obviously depends on your business, but on average, running your own business gives you more flexibily than working for someone else. Once your at the Director level, the company owns your time, the pressure to deliver is way higher, because you can always spin another SaaS, but is very hard to get another Director position at another company once you get fired from one. Also, your kids/family can inherit your business, but not your job.

This feels so wrong. I always understood this to mean a really good developer taking on two easy jobs, perhaps a senior developer taking two junior-mid roles that paid similarly to the senior role, so they can meet the expectation of the employer while only needing to work 10 hours a week. I thought it was cheeky but fair. To actually try and cheat employers out of wages by taking jobs and knowingly doing the minimum required to hopefully not get fired pisses me off to be honest.

Over employed examples I want to hear about is from people getting jobs in admin roles and automating themselves, or senior developers taking manual testing roles and finishing their work in an hour a week.
Perhaps not as self-evident as I thought:

Artificial scarcity--having something others can't.
The best examples right now are honestly NFT marketplaces or DeFi, however you can authenticate with these services without needing to have any funds available on your wallet.

If you're curious and want to try out the flow, you can download a web3 wallet like MetaMask - https://metamask.io/ - this is a popular web wallet extension for Ethereum and EVM platforms. If you want to try out Solana, I recommend https://phantom.app/

I personally like Solana more than EVM chains at the moment but it doesn't cost anything for you to try either.

Once you have the extension and create your wallet, you can navigate to an NFT marketplace, and connect your wallet.

Ethereum:
https://opensea.io/ - The most popular Ethereum NFT marketplace

Solana:
https://solanart.io/ - One of the most popular Solana NFT marketplaces

You can then click on the connect / select wallet button, and it will allow for you to connect your wallet to the website. This will authenticate you into their website, there's some additional steps on Opensea IIRC if you want to construct a full profile, but the base authentication only requires this. And like I mentioned, you can authenticate in this manner without owning a single dollar worth of crypto.

For the projects that allow for you to interface with chains / wallets, I've used these:

For ethereum:
https://github.com/ChainSafe/web3.js

For solana:
https://github.com/solana-labs/solana-web3.js

Essentially what it comes down to is a user has a wallet, that is typically a web wallet via extension, but you can of course use hardware wallets if you'd like, however those do require you to own one, so if you just want to play around with the ecosystem, these extensions are the easiest to use. These above projects are javascript APIs that allow for interacting with wallets and onchain programs.

Note that both of these are frontend solutions. There are backend solutions for both chains.

EDIT - also there is this provided from solana labs as an adapter for many different wallet types:

I have an Etsy store where I sell my illustrations. It doesn't make $500 every single month, but averaged over a year it is around that mark. I think I could grow the sales if I spent more time on it :-)

Such a takedown would be reviewed and reversed within minutes, of course.
I think that's a mischaracterization. It's not short term profits, it's short term performance. Amazon and Tesla are still evaluated quarter-to-quarter, and if they stumbled in their growth numbers they'd still get killed.
Special-purpose hardware for cellular automata would not evaluate it "step-by-step" either, but in parallel. Every cell could evaluate its next state independently of others.

We could think of some kind of version of RAM where each 'cell' would implement this behavior.

Perhaps similar optimizations like HashLife could be developed for such special purpose hardware as well.

Nope, we don't want our Picasso NFT to be selled without the physical paint. So yeah, I'm still confused hahahah.. Still could be nice to implement it on a different blockchain to been able to authenticate paints without the authenticator.
I had the same question, it's the same thought I had when Bezos left then wrote that letter about treating employees better. Nice sentiments when they're out the door.
The generated screenshots are lighter (about 5%). However, the resource images in QOI format that I load are in average a little bigger (about 5% and sometimes until 35%). I guess it is not the perfect solution for AAA games which already use more than 30go nowadays.
I took that into account, although it may not have been clear because I tried to describe it in words rather than code.

What I was suggesting was something like this (in pseudocode):

int previous_leftmost = 64;
while (mask != 0) {
leftmost = find_leftmost(mask);
mask ^= 1u << leftmost;
while (--previous_leftmost > leftmost)
func_false(previous_leftmost);
func_true(leftmost);
}
I think a lot of people like the hobbyist collection aspect of DVDs. There's also a pretty significant contingent of people who want access to films that have no (or no consistent) streaming options. Also, lots of films and TV shows that do not have licensed content.
Of course not, it’s a free service that’s paid for by them displaying ads over your content. It’s so depressing that that isn’t even satire but an actual real thing.

They should get rid of RF and have the fob send a message through AWS instead. That way they'll have servers to maintain and they'll be able to justify the subscription cost.
Very few are actually offended, but tons of people know that there's a widespread discussion about not offending, and avoid poking the hornet's nest for that reason. Not quite analogous to, but eerily reminiscent of, the Latino/Latinx idea.

> LinkedIn has proven a fucking pain indeed, and that is why I am not active on it anymore.

Yep. There's another person in this thread trying to argue it away, but I've found LinkedIn to be a huge canary in the coalmine in these situations.

Someone who insists on maintaining an active LinkedIn profile but also isn't updating it with a new job isn't a red flag by itself (people just forget, obviously). It is, however, another piece of the puzzle.

If someone updates their LinkedIn and broadcasts their new job to all of their peers then I'm much less concerned.
Ask HN: Will lifting heavier make me code faster?
There was no "described scenario". OP was asking whether "the NFT market rely on trusting that the company doesn't cease to exist" and my response is that an ENS domain or a unlock-protocol lock are NFTs with utility on their own and that you never get to lose because of something that happens off-chain.

You are arguing a strawman.
Woah this thread is packed. Most of these companies didn’t exist when we started Fathom back in 2018, so it’s great to see how the privacy-first analytics space is thriving.

I’m Jack Ellis, the cofounder of https://usefathom.com. We’re a two person, self-funded company from Canada. Our software is used in projects by companies like IBM, GitHub, Tuple, Tailwind and lots of other awesome companies.

You shouldn’t use Fathom if you flinch at $14/m for a highly available service. We’re self-funded, priced to be sustainable long term, and we don’t guess on privacy law.

Recently, we launched a feature called EU Isolation following the Schrems II ruling (where Max Schrems sued Facebook). Long story short, if you’re using analytics and are passing your EU website visitors personal data (IP & User agent) to US-controlled cloud servers (even if they’re located in the EU), you’re violating the GDPR. Well with Fathom, we use both EU infrastructure and US infrastructure, but we automatically route all your EU visitors through German-owned infrastructure, and hash all personal data there, meaning your EU website visitors personal data will NEVER touch our core US infrastructure. This approach was put together with our Canadian and EU lawyers, and hasn’t been seen before in the analytics space. Lots of companies run on “EU servers”, but they’re controlled by US cloud providers and subject to FISA. This means they’re not GDPR compliant.

We don’t guess on legal matters, and we don’t cheap out on infrastructure. The lawyers we invest in work with some of the world’s largest companies, and they’re a big budget item for us. We run our infrastructure across multiple availability zones and invest heavily in serverless infrastructure. If you compare Fathom against most privacy-first analytics providers, you’ll see our uptime is uncontested. It costs us more, yes, but keeping our customers’ analytics reliable is of crucial importance to us. We run only on managed services, as we want experts (like some of the DevOps folk on here) maintaining it for us, and we stick to our strength (building our application).

With our custom domain solution (to bypass adblockers), we handle automatic SSL for you and serve your website visitors from a CDN, keeping things really fast.

We’ve also recently launched multi-domain, which is super powerful for holding multiple domains under a single dashboard (something the OP was speaking about). Especially since you can also then utilize our API to generate custom reports.

We’re going from strength to strength, and we’re the best option for folks who need GDPR compliance. We are also based in Canada, so we have adequacy ruling under the GDPR.

Hope this post is helpful for anyone who is already wondering about Fathom :)
It is the the most important feature in an encrypted messaging client, that the provider cannot see the cleartext of your message content.

Any vendor that claims their product to be 'encrypted', plays this up in marketing and lets its users believe they are communicating confidentially, yet captures 99% of their communications -- it is not a bug, it is malicious.
In that spirit, search.marginalia.nu makes me about $70/month.

Hardware investment is about $4-5k, plus a few hundred hours of development time.

It was never intended as a means of getting rich though, so I am very grateful for the support.
No hate. But just remember that when you think that something is a good BUY, the other side (the seller) think that it is a good SELL. Hence, before trading in the stock market (or in any other market which is a zero sum game, e.g. used cars, NFT), you must be sure that you have more information than the seller.
Blocking each instance is the best way compared to other centered option.
Jack saying popular things. Truth is they had to or they’d die. Losing control of the client meant they lost the eyeballs and were just the plumbing. There’s no viable business model for them as plumbing. So they killed the API and launched ads. Today 86% of revenue comes from ads. It’s what is keeping a rather unimpressive company alive.
To be clear, a license is not required to drive, although it is required on public roads.

> Oh, wait, now I need to deserve a job

I didn't say a job. I said the job I'm hiring for.

If you're going to come in and deliberately do as little work as possible to extract as much as possible from the team, why should I give the job to you instead of someone who is actually honest and cares?

You're not entitled to any job you want, obviously. I usually have 10-100 applicants who would honestly do the job and not sandbag their work onto peers. Obviously we would all rather have the honest employees working on the team.

In what moral system do you deserve the job more than literally any other honest employee if you're dead set on doing less than them and lying your way through the job?

If nothing else, having two jobs becomes a conflict of interest with a huge monetary incentive to continue lying. There's also the matter of trade secrets as people often come from related companies.
While I'd love to be optimistic, not all of us are Canadian members of parliament.

How do you go about learning Ada without working in aerospace or a defense contractor? I've never organically run into any software in my daily life or using OSS that it is written in it. I know some exists, but it seems to be an incredibly isolated island disconnected from any of the other major programming ecosystems: web, HPC, games, CRUD business apps, finance/trading, embedded (outside aerospace/defense) etc. I don't know of a single major project in any of those fields written in Ada. I work in finance and have interviewed hundreds of programmers working on systems moving billions of dollars around at this point and not once have any of them ever mentioned having worked with it. I am skeptical they have as much to learn from Ada as vice versa, since Ada seems cut off from the majority of brains.
I emailed them saying if you are so cheap to do a cash grab in this area what other areas are you sacrificing the quality of your cars to cut costs. I told them how I was disappointed and that something as simple as this would make me consider my second favorite car brand over them. Glad to see they received a lot of backlash.
You can contribute in any way that people who have worked to create food, shelter, useful energy, clothing, and other items that you want are willing to exchange for those contributions.

Call it work, call it art, call it whatever you want, but those people aren’t likely to bust their ass so you can enjoy the fruits of their labor while returning nothing.

In reality 99% of enforcement is against alcohol because that's what they have the breathalyzers, blood tests and established law to go after.

> If, as an employee, your philosophy is to grift what you can, expect companies to do the same. And good employers actually don't.

Well said.

If the entire relationship is built on lies and deception, it begins to show over time. Employees who build their relationship based on manipulating their employer (setting low expectations, as the article suggests) aren't the same employees helping their teammates, working together to get things done, and shipping good work. They're the ones that need constant manager attention and slowly siphon the energy out of their peers and managers. Removing them from the team is a win for everyone.

That's the way! Nicely done.

Can I ask what your power costs are? The problem is that in high population centers in the US, electricity costs make it not economical.
Wait until the power train has been out for a while and look at reviews of vehicles that use it. Most cars have some problems but at least you'll know what you're signing up for. Some of the newer hybrid tech etc sounds complicated but mechanically isn't really that much more so than a regular automatic transmission. I look at all the Priuses running around doing taxi and delivery duty in my area for the last 15+ years, I figure if there were any major problems we would know.

I really really enjoyed "The Comanche Empire" https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300151176/comanche-empir...

It took a long time to get through (very dense, academic) but was a sprawling look at a powerful indigenous culture that I knew nothing about.

Plus, it was enlightening and a bit foreboding to learn how an empire could be at the very height of its power and then, through circumstance, climate, demographics, and imperial expansion be exhausted and destroyed in essentially a decade.
I bought a coffee farm in Colombia. Annualized it makes around $800 / month and growing. Should double to $1600 / month next year as we’ve doubled our production. It’s barely profitable, but is profitable nonetheless. The more we plant the more profitable it will get, and we’ll be planting 10,000 more trees soon!
Yeah I call bullshit. By sheer numbers C/C++ programmers are much easier to find. Rust may improve your company's appeal to an interested programmer, but by the numbers C/C++ have incredibly greater supply.
Possible, but if you're running a fully automated company... what difference would that make? If anything it'd be a liability... a risk of your "cron job" being a bit late or something.
I won't support this entire position, but there are a number of regulations for behavior which are correlative and not causative. Good examples for a more nuanced position are zero tolerance laws punishing drivers with any detectable level of bac, without any claim of danger or impairment. Open container laws are similarly problematic. Last but not least are intent to drive' provisions which allow charging of a drunk sleeping it off in the back seat with a DUI.

These are examples of enforcement based on questionable assumed outcomes, essentially boiling down to probabilistic pre-crime.

So, my trick is: buy an older but high quality car for peanuts, then pre-emptively redo everything that has worn, including an engine rebuild if that's what it takes. The end result is a car that is priced roughly 30 to 35% of the equivalent new vehicle cheap to insure, and with the added benefit of plentiful aftermarket parts and a lack of electronics that get in the way of driving the thing. I've done this twice now and I'm not going back to driving young or new.
