Here in Norway all salaries are publicly searchable*. Based on my experience of this, I can't see what bad things will come of this?

If anything, hidden salaries only benefit employers, as they have all the knowledge.

* you can know everyone's taxable income and net worth. What deductions people have, other incomes etc aren't separated, so it's not an exact number.
Yeah, after getting caught up in the hype for ten years I'm running back to proven tech that is flushed out (Java, Swing-omg it just works, wanting to try Ruby,even PHP is looking good at this point).

Every dependency scrutinized and discarded if possible.

I would probably work for free if someone setup their own on-prem cloud in Tanzu, Open shift, or Ranger and used old school proven frameworks for development.

Working in AWS has been a real shitty experience at these large companies. All the nit picky problems (of which there are thousands) get dumped on devs who are trying to deliver working software.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong about 2. The book of John is a clear counterexample.
Why in god's name do so many people with even modest IT knowledge keep using this invasive dumpster fire of a cloud service with conditions like this one and others being piled on? There are so many affordable, secure and easy to use options on the web that trusting Google with your data seems absurd, especially considering how easily the company can simply permaban you for no discernible reason and not a human in range to dispute the matter with. At this stage, using any Google service is sort of like trying to expect decent customer service from the DMV and IRS rolled into one.
MicroAcquire raises $5M for its startup sale marketplace
Your examples seem to all be contradictory though. It seems you have your own barometer for value that doesn't line up with your arguments.
This is great. I've never even used that function of the devtools. I have a site I want to scrape but it encrypts the hell out of everything with a bunch of horrible obfuscated Javascript that I didn't want to reverse engineer. This should hopefully make it easier to find the values I want.
Genesis 1 is about as detailed as many of the release notes I see. And about as accurate.
For what it's worth, for me the truly enlightening moment was when VISA and other "payment" networks shut down wikileaks access to funding an they switched to Bitcoin and were able to continue the mission.
What the EFF, FAA? My Insanely Long Field Guide to the FAA/FCC 5G C-Band Fight
This, in my opinion is an excellent text detailing how we arrived at the FAA/FCC C-Band face off. I believe it also answers many of the questions raised in this thread: "Boeing, Airbus executives urge delay in U.S. 5G wireless deployment" [0].

Woke Up to an NFT of Myself
I think you bring up a good point: that some of the blame going to the researcher really should be directed at the review board itself. It’s their responsibility to catch cases like this. The fact that some people who were included in the study without their consent are upset and angry, means they failed this responsibility.

I think what you are missing though, is that just because something passed a review board, that does not make it ethical. Review boards, like everything else, will make mistakes.
Does this mean you know how much your neighbors make? In America that would be very taboo…
(I work at Render) We do need a Github/Gitlab repo, but we're not wedded to it. So I'm clear, you want the static site hosted on Render but built via GH Actions?
Seems like a good reason to establish a proper performance evaluation review process, with a clear scale for bonuses and salary increases.

This makes it fair for everyone and reduce the possibility of biases by the managers.

If someone finds their salary unfair, then both the employer can argue more precisely why or why not.
Arrow's theorem only really applies to social welfare functions not voting methods. You use a utilitarian social welfare function when you calculate Bayesian regret for a voting method.

What if Benjamin Franklin had gotten blackouot drunk at the constitution writing after party, knocked the original and the early copies into a pile together, and just plucked one out of the stack at random? Not super relevant I just think it is a funny hypothetical. I'd say the secretly older copy doesn't have some extra significance, the 'real' Constitution is whichever one we've been displaying this whole time, I think, but there's definitely room for disagreement.

Unless Alice or Bob are minting an NFT which they claim is redeemable for the Constitution, which isn't how these things generally work I think, either of their copies has some argument for representing the Constitution. In any case these are all just mementos that represent the idea of the history of the Constitution, as is the real one, as is Ben Franklin's switcharoo copy, as would be your own privately minted copy. I think it is impossible to meaningfully get it right.
Still your question should be "why didn't I?" which only you can answer, not "why can't I?" You could.
Yes. Firstly, I understand all the reasons why sharing salary information gives more power to employees. However, as someone living in a third world country with serious crime problems, sharing my salary makes me more of a target than if it were kept secret. I understand this may not be the case everywhere, but it is a reality of the part of the world I live in.

Japan's Formula for Life Satisfaction
I personally know Jonathan and hugely respect his work.

I could believe that because he is an actual lawyer it was harder to imagine the panic that recipients who have no understanding of the law would experience. But I think that more likely is that the response was a bit of a fluke. Way stranger stuff has been done by security and privacy researchers with the go-ahead from their IRB. This feels to me like this is a methodology that isn't universally agreed on but is not especially uncommon that tripped a response from the internet. The conclusion is more that people should not necessarily take the existence similar research as indication that the broader community is okay with these methodologies.
Ha, ya. Tuple's are perfect as it gives you the "draw quick attention to this spot" and then the pen tool auto-disappears with a setting to make it stay forever with a quick shortcut to erase everything. I actually almost exclusively use the pen now, though I use to make a lot of use of the ping.

If they're using webkit on Apple it's safe to assume they could use QtWebkit or GtkWebkit on linux. Linux will be lower priority probably strictly from a numbers game though.
PS2 emulation is such a pain that I still can't make any emuls work on my Mac. Meanwhile Flycast is being ported to PS Vita with decent FPS.
These are som pretty impressive goals. If they can truly achieve a hover state as quiet as 60db, and get the efficiency they've outlined, these could truly change the way we look at short-haul travel.

The idea of a 2 hour drive from a small town to the big city being reduced to a 1hr flight (with no airport - yay helipads) is already a market where helicopters are making money. Doing that in even less time, in more comfort (ugh - choppers are loud), and at lower cost per hour/mile will change things dramatically.
You'd think this would be a wakeup call as to the value of limited government, but I'm not sure that's the message everyone is getting.

Bureaucracies are generally incompetent in direct proportion to their size.
It might also open you up to various forms of discrimination, if your salary is "too high" or "too low" for some people's liking.

I think pay transparency within a single company is probably a good thing, though.

Ask HN: Mono-Repo or Multi-Repo?
I know that there is a debate about storing all source code in a mono-repo vs multiple repos.
I am thinking about it from a security perspective - a separation to multiple repos reduces the risk of source code exposure/leakage and enable more granular access. However, maybe this isn't a high risk as having an insider threat or an account takeover that may inject a malicious code, so setting up codeowners will do the work even in a mono-repo.
What are your thoughts?
Oftentimes it’s not about the model, or even the data itself, but rather the engine that keeps on spinning.
I have had individuals use my public property records in social engineering attempts. They were dumb enough to use a registered number so they knocked it off when I responded with their name and address in return, but I am sure more voracious criminals have targeted homeowners.
These are not just some particular profession salaries. The article says it identifies persons, their profession AND their salaries. And such list, as you could guess, is an enormous privacy breach.
Why Telegram specifically? Wouldn't Signal be considered a more private/secure messenger?
You're mistaken. An interface is simply a reference type--like other reference types, it may refer to a type which is itself a reference type. The outer reference may be not-nil while the inner reference may be nil, which confuses people who don't understand references into believing that there is a single value which is both nil and not-nil at once.

It's no different than `var x **int` (a variable called "x" whose type is a pointer to a pointer to an int). If you want to safely access the underlying integer data, it's not sufficient to check that the outermost reference is not nil--you must also verify that the inner reference is not nil. We run into this in every language with nullable reference types, including C, Java, Python, JavaScript, etc.

EDIT: `*int` -> `**int`. TIL HN converts two asterisks into one.
It's amazing how some people value privacy so much to an almost "irrational" degree, but then are perfectly fine making this sort of info "public".
Since it is fro hackaday, I was expecting at least a word on SuperH.

Capcom had so many of my favorite games on the Dreamcast, the regular hits such as Marvel vs Capcom and Street Fighter, but Power Stone, Tech Romancer, Cannon Spike, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Rival Schools, etc.
As depicted by this wonderful comic: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2011-11-08
These retrospectives on the Dreamcast rarely seem to bring up the fact you could play burned CDs on the system or the shared architecture with the Atomiswave arcade systems the wildly popular (to this day) NAOMI arcade system. Or the Microsoft collaboration. I also feel like more could be explored around SegaNet and its relationship to ALL.net whose legacy is now felt today every time someone sits down at an arcade to play Guilty Gear Strive.

Especially of interest on a site like hackaday, they don't mention the homebrew scene: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dreamcast_homebrew_gam...

Or the ports of Atomiswave games to DC: https://www.retrorgb.com/dreamcast-atomiswave-ports.html
"Prosecuting people won't prevent the next criminal"

What makes you say that? Is fear of punishment not a reasonable deterrent from crime?
There is nothing in the slightest bit technical about opening an email account with protonmail, or fastmail or any number of other much less invasive email services. A protonmail et al account could even be called easier to open since Google lately asks for quite a bit in exchange for the "privilege" of having one of their email addresses. Gmail also constantly screws around with security blocks for blah blah reason that require backup email or phone verification gymnastics if you do any number of tiny things "wrong", like say, trying to log in from a new country.
That's Norway man it cannot be compared with rest of the world. In Albania or Balkan countries it would be very dangerous to leak such and info, people could die or be kidnaped or been looked differently, normally u don't tell your salary to anyone just like that.

SEC rejects Apple’s bid to block three shareholder proposals
No, it really does. Maybe you can emotionally justify bringing additional people into a problem created by people, but, I can't. And, if you can justify it, quite frankly, I think that makes you a bad person.

200 years ago, nobody had any reason to suspect that life would be significantly worse in 50 years. Today, we do. 200 years ago, we hadn't poisoned the planet with "forever chemicals" (PFAS) and microplastics. Oh, and let's not forget the economic mess we're leaving to future generations, either.

200 years ago, there was no reason to suspect the next generation would be worse off than this one. One could afford not to take ethical considerations into account when having children then, because there was no reason to suspect it would be unethical.

As for suicide, sure, I can justify that on ethical grounds. I'm not sure I want to continue much past whenever my dog dies. She's 7. OTOH, I can't see where I'm ethically required to commit suicide to solve a problem I didn't create.
No, we use only H264, because nobody has the courage to redo all the work we've done to optimize the encoding with a newer format :)
That would produce dates instead of integers though. I want a table that looks like this:

MonthsAgo | Sales
==================
4 | 4,500
3 | 7,204
2 | 12,578
1 | 15,748
0 | 34,485

And maybe use a parameter so the user can go by week, or quarter, or whatever.
> I would hope top performers get paid better than mediocre or below average employees.

What if those top performers aren't aware of their worth and/or aren't good at negotiating their salaries within that market?

I've heard about plenty of oblivious people who had existential crises when they discovered that those around them made much more money than they did, even when they were good at what they did, or had been at the company for a long time.

It's definitely a multi faceted issue! Of course, one might also take the role based approach: "In company X, the employees in the role Y are compensated in a range from Z to W, here's an anonymous histogram. Here's some metadata about how the length of employment is positively/negatively correlated with earnings."

I don't have illusions that companies would actually be interested in doing anything like that, because although disclosing salary ranges for a job position is now mandatory in my country, you still see something like 2000-5000 EUR ranges which are almost meaningless (due to how most people will hover around the lower end as far as the actual compensations go).
Show HN: Pipe stdin to a ANSI.SYS simulated display
I'd argue the opposite - they are likely to be one, especially if they've run a successful campaign.

Candidates and parties will canvass the electorate to identify who is (likely) to vote for who so they can put resources in to the right things and make sure likely supporters turn out to vote etc.

That's not to mention that any (prior) correspondence with the politician (or their office) will almost certainly also contain personal data.
That depends entirely on the implementation. Almost every respectable implementation strategy is going to have better performance characteristics than an interface{} though.
I'm going to go ahead and coin the term Web4. I'm reserving the name with the right to fill in what it means at some undetermined point in the future.

I will take no further questions at this time.
2. wise.com (not familiar with alipay) says I can send USD5000 to China and have it arrive by tomorrow. I guess you were trying to send a bigger amount? Did your transfer just bypass regulations, either in the country you were sending it from or in China? See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29646492

Not saying it's something nobody wants to do, but if it does end up being a significant use-case, there's no reason wise.com and others can't catch up, apart from regulatory reasons.

3. why do you think bitcoin helps against inflation, especially given its volatility? See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29521689
Another possibility I've heard is that so many programs still used by businesses have some kind of code along the lines of

//check if windows 95 or 98
If (WindowsVersion.StartsWith("Windows 9"){
//do windows 95 or 98 specific stuff
}

That naming it windows 9 would have caused issues for a lot of products
I think everyone is trying to replicate the Tesla formula where the first Roadster was a toy for the rich, then followed by real products and now $Trillion in market cap. But there are a few steps in there that are probably hard to copy, like being able to sell carbon credits to other manufacturers, federal tax credit for buyers, etc. Oh, and one Elon Musk.

I didn't know yet another pump and dump scam or pyramid scheme reinvention required a "father".
The last Synology box I configured, a RS4021xs+, has currently a "System health" status of "Danger: The system is now in a dangerous status". In Storage manager every drive is listed as "Unverified" and with a red triangle. (Seagate ST18000NM disks, so quite common.)

I configured it about a year ago. Before I updated to what was then a beta version of DSM it refused to install all together, which was quite frustrating.

The list of supported drives according to Synology is depressingly short for this model - the only non-Synology or Toshiba drive is a single Western Digital.
Perhaps I will.

I'm thinking about how I position Adama for both Jamstack and as a reactive data-store (which could feed phoenix/elixer land). I intend to change my marketing away from the "programming language" aspect and more towards "reactive data store".
And so is development time of any distributed software system, and training time required to operate it correctly
namespaces in what sense? network namespaces? because freebsd has VNET for a while now. which seems to do the same thing.
This reminds me of that time, two or so years ago, when almost everyone's personal ID in Bulgaria was released and similar data could have been obtained for almost any adult.

Quite embarrassing and dangerous. Stuff like this should be a wake up call and indication of worse things to come

The only good thing about all this is that I've been looking for a site just like this for a long time. Bookmarked.
Right I didn't mean to imply that SWIFT itself was vulnerable to DoS attacks, just that other parts of the financial system could be disrupted.
First, this is an altogether improbably scenario (the odds of winning the lottery are good compared to this scenario ever happening).
Site traffic follows a power law. A site at 200k down the list is almost never going to get such attention. It is not someone's full time job. A uniform density of information requests is incredibly unlikely and places a very unfair burden on the smaller sites.
Second, the difference is pretty obvious: 100,000 individuals seeking a legal right implies a potential benefit to a large number of people. 1-5 people abusing the system implies a bad faith actor whose benefit is pretty minimal.
Show HN: Two uBlock Origin rules to improve your Twitch experience
It might come down to taste, but I feel like a lot of the "features" Twitch has been adding have cluttered the interface while offering little of value for someone like me who just watches streams occasionally and isn't closely involved in community events.

But most importantly, I'm bothered by the non-dismissable popups that now appear over the video feed. They seem to be for extensions, but what features they provide evades me.

These two uBlock Origin rules (which you can add in the My Filters tab) will remove the main two modals that can pop up over the video:

www.twitch.tv##.extensions-dock-card
ext-twitch.tv##.prime-extension-root

Additionally, you may want to get back a chat frame without a leaderboard header:

www.twitch.tv##.channel-leaderboard

Twitch generates random class names, possibly to prevent your blocking some elements, so I tried to find the topmost classes. I hope that's useful to some.

And the fact that you're not likely to answer a call from an international number because it'll probably look more like spam.

Also, for them to have a +1 number outside the USA means they have to be on a USA network and then roaming onto a local network. This presents dozens of problems, such as often not being able to get the best connection, not being able to get data connections, not being able to get any local support, and it costing a small fortune.

All the embassy employees I have ever known have gone full native with all of their technology etc.
That person a has no proof either way and person b has proof pointing in a certain direction is not contradictory.
yep, this is part of what I was trying to say. There are a lot of STEM-heads who like to point to their interest, employment or education in STEM as credentials for their rationality but who are mostly incapable of thinking critically. The level at which you have to critically engage with topics like empiricism and epistemology are way beyond the level of science education and towards being an actual research scientist.
In the US, it’s only on a voluntary individual basis. For example, an HR employee that knows all employees pay information can be prohibited from sharing that information but cannot be prohibited from discussing their own pay.

I’m confused. Just because you use request response doesn’t mean you don’t have state in your page. And sure, your connection can drop, but your requests can also fail. Protocol versioning is required, but that is true for any protocol ever, also request response. And what’s this about wanting to outsource all state and everything requires a database as soon as it has state? Which one does mspaint.exe use? And if using a load balancer or proxy somehow leaks through then something really messed up is going on. In pubsub, just like REST, one doesn’t care who sent the data. I’m confused.
