I read this story on reddit, will try and find it . But someone was working in an office in Tokyo with hundreds of mobile phones that were on . Some kind of call centre or something.

They said they’d worked back late and we’re the only person left on the floor when every single mobile did what you describe.

They said “it was truly the sound of the apocalypse” ha
People aren't really looking for "I've seen it" here. They're looking for "this is typical, and you can do it."
> Should you save save up for retirement and be generally financially sensible? ... For example, for the terminally ill it is terrible advice

No it's not terrible advice. People that are terminally ill will quite commonly have loved ones that can benefit after their passing from their being financially prudent rather than spendthrift. That can involve children, young adults, widow/ers, and all manner of contexts (disabled brother that you've helped across your lifetime, and you worry about their situation after you're gone).
You can implement it yourself. You just have to use your own trait.
Whether you're working W2, 1099, or an LLC, you're still running a business that trades in engineering labor, namely yours. That's the company whose vision you want to invest in.

If you like your current clients' vision too, great! That kind of alignment is always preferable. But remember that you're always first representing your own interests, because you're the only one at the table for whom those interests are paramount. Good clients understand and respect that. Bad clients are what you use to avoid starving while you're out finding good clients.
Oh, I think there's more than that. It's somehow not divisive for Jews to congratulate wide audiences with Hanukah. It's not divisive for Muslims to congratulate their audiences with Ramadan. It's not divisive for Chinese to wish others with happy Chinese New Year. But it's somehow "problematic" to say "Merry Christmas".

In all honesty, I can't imagine being offended if someone congratulated me with a holiday they celebrate and I don't. I would congratulate them back and maybe ask how they celebrate it to learn something new. On the other hand, if the Christmas experience was something the previous generation used to have, and I got priced out of it, "Merry Christmas" would sound like someone is rubbing it in...
Tsoding is a nice one. I think he's been working on his own programming language for a while now.

Your ability to believe is not salient. And, it is a fact that black people are overwhelmingly over-represented in the US prison population. It is not because they commit more crimes, but because black people are arrested more, convicted more, and sentenced more, for identically the same behavior as non-black people. If that is different from being incarcerated because they are black, the difference is too small for me to perceive.

You seem to be insisting that racism does not exist in the US. Noted.
> SEC: derivatives of a trillion dollar asset are risky

It's actually sillier than this. They think that derivatives of bitcoin are fine (futures ETF approved) while simultaneously saying bitcoin itself is too dangerous (spot ETF denied).
> If someone is competent enough to sustain 2 jobs, they will also get quickly promoted to 2x their salary if they are working one job.

One of the benefits of this is that you don't have to be competent enough to sustain two jobs. There are people who do this and just swap their jobs every year or less. Another side benefit of that is that people have lower expectations for the new hire, and if you're perpetually a new hire...
Ah, that does suck. Yes I am a senior developer (or like to call myself that... I guess..)
There’s a difference between choosing to trust the claims of someone who you believe has expertise that would be expensive or impossible for you to develop yourself, and having no option but to “trust” a certain party in order to perform certain actions. I think when most people talk about “trustlessness” in the context of decentralized systems they’re not saying you would never trust a surgeon, or a pilot, or a YouTuber who reviews smartphones, or an audit of a computer system.
This is an excellent article. Rarely do I see media targeted at a popular audience actually explain technical systems / operating logic like was done here.
I get carsick a lot when reading and I can confirm that not reading and looking outside helps. Another thing: if you are on a train, make sure to be facing the direction where the train is going (just like you would be in a car). I'm not sure how and why this works, but it helps reduce carsickness for me.
That's a neat idea. Somebody did this [1]. Not sure if it's worth the effort to achieve 20% strength increase, but potentially with some fine tuning this could probably allow lower extraction temperature and more flexibility with shape / more precise prints. Likely still not comparable SLA.

It simply is until you cite statistics.

That's why I have them disabled in my phone. I once got Amber Alert in the airplane 35K feet above and flying over Colorado (LAX - DCA). Alerts are useful but over-abused unintentionally. The only I can't disable is the top one, I think it is Presidential Alert?
Uh, I don't know man. I don't agree. People will always ask you to have a meeting at a time that conflicts with another meeting.
I have anecdotes from the hiring side. I've only seen the two-jobs phenomenon a couple times in my career, but it always involved someone getting a new job and then simply not quitting their last remote job. They eventually realize they can collect two paychecks until their old job catches on and lays them off.

However, it's not that difficult to spot if you're paying attention. Two job workers tend to:

1. Have elaborate excuses for why they can't update their LinkedIn profile to show the new job. Obviously they can't tip the old company off that they have a new job.

2. Have mysteriously complicated and ever-changing schedule conflicts throughout the day. We support (and encourage) flexible work, but when someone is disappearing throughout the day and can't reliably jump on a phone call (despite supposedly being online and active) without ample notice, they're probably doing something else.

3. Are extreme people-pleasers in superficial ways (want to keep up appearances) but only actually deliver good work when it's high profile and they know they're in the spotlight.

4. Are loathed by their teammates after a while, because everyone they work with slowly catches on that the person is absent-mindedly doing the bare minimum to not get fired. Inevitably, the teammates have to pick up the slack and do extra work to compensate. Few people are better positioned to recognize this than the people who are in the trenches with the person all day.

5. Have a different jobs on their resume with start and end dates that don't match what you confirm with the company. That's because they need to massage the start/end dates to appear as though they weren't overlapping the two jobs.

6. Are religious about "If I get my work done, why does it matter when I work?" Sounds great, but then they play every game in the book to shrink "their work" to be as small as possible and move the "done" part as far in the future as possible. End result is that team mates suffer (see #4).
i think twitter is still humanity's one & only interesting intermingling spot online. basically there's no other mass engaged options; win by default. through few virtues of twitters own, other than the happenstanve of being ancient as fuck: the living/undying/undead proof of metcalfe's law & the irreplaceability it implies. nothing comes close. it is the only online hotbed of mass democratic activity & it's so interesting. personally it has gotten a lot more droll & tired but imo that's just the age, the world today: less exciting, less energy, shittier.

but twitter murdering in the cradle alternative interfaces, ideas, tools... them de-democratizing democracy... that was deeply deeply deeply traitorous. it really held back the ability of people to participate as they might in democracy, to advance their own perch & perspective in the fray. it keeps us trapped at a low mode, forever and ever. as well as sabotaging the general age of hopefulness & apis we were underway exploring. one huge fuck up for twitter, a mass epic radical loss for human & societal values in general. fuck us.
> Nfts may or may not be the blockchain's killer app (I think they are)

How is a bit of data on a blockchain pointing to a URI a breakthrough? It's utterly ineffective at proving ownership of anything, since the data at the uri can be changed, or more likely - the entire server will disappear at some point in time. And then what about uris on the blockchain pointing to illegal material (things that are actually copyrighted by someone through the legal system, CP, etc)?

Obviously storing actual data on-chain is too costly as well (both financially on the large chains, and practically/environmentally on any of them).

Everyone I know who's into NFTs and crypto was a con artist before blockchain and they'll be con artists after. Wait until I tell you about the drug addict scammers I know that started a crypto coin of their own and got a friend who knows literally nothing about crypto to write their whitepaper.
That almost never happens, at least at Google, unless you are running a very important project and you also bring offers from another FAANG. Otherwise, good luck.
Ask HN: What tools do you use to track your journey from start to finish?
Say some idea comes to your mind, or you get a requirement to create something(a code function, class, art, product, architecture, design, anything). This is the start of the journey. You experiment, tinker along, try few things, and finally when you are satisfied with what you have created you complete that journey.

Now how do you track all the things, related to the creation process, that happened along that journey from start to finish? What tools do you use? During the creation process lots of artefacts are created, some are thrown away, some are changed from their initial state, some are used in the final outcome etc. Mapping this creator's journey will help a lot. Are there any tools to capture this journey as the creator goes about the creation process?
Scratch Monkey – You Killed Mabel!
My former skip level manager was bad for this. He told everyone they are not allowed to squash commit and that they should commit every work day. He was located in another city from my team and this was how he checked to see who was a slacker.

When one of my co-op student's term ended he wanted to hire him full-time because he thought he was a rock-star from his high number of commits. In reality the student wasn't very good and we just gave him simple tasks to write unit tests. He wasn't even good at writing unit tests because when he was unsure about edge case behavior he would just see what the function currently outputs and then write a test to expect that result. The worst is when a unit test would start to fail so he'd change the existing test to expect the wrong result.

Before anyone asks, I eventually left the company and I did repeatedly tell the student how to write better unit tests in his code reviews.
No, it's merely unfortunate.
I've worked at FANGMULA for many years, I'm an immigrant, I've recently become a hiring manager and hired people on my team weeks ago, I've done hundreds of interviews within my bigtech company, I barely finished my computer science degree from a mid-tier university (so I'm not that exceptional) and on top of that I've done the research with how promo systems work at these companies. I know what the current comp packages are for jr engineers too. When I do say jr eng, I do mean the L4 level, not the straight out of college no work experience L3 level. L5 is the terminal sr engineer level.

This friend that I'm giving an example of is real, and I feel like he has the potential to get into FANGMULA with my mentorship and then get promoted within that time frame. It's definitely all real and the post was kind of my own internal speech to get him to come over.

Go look at https://levels.fyi , and look at the jumps in comp between bands. Yes some companies may pay +/- %10 more, but it is what it is. Also the market has gone up, yet again, so even levels is a bit behind.

People thinking what I'm saying is BS is just a bunch of cope. You don't have to be a super genius with the grit of god to get into these companies.
Usually you can just get away with java -jar program.jar
So, having also spent LOADS of time and energy in this space, I basically agree, but I feel like there is a "solution" out there that requires a slightly different "level of abstraction." Let's take two "extremes" that I know, At one end ( pretty much always is Emacs) and at the other, perhaps something like Obsidian or Zim-Wiki.

I think the missing link here is "programmability" or "extensibility." Feels like there should be something as extensible as Emacs by the individual user that could also be as initially user friendly as an Obsidian or Zim-Wiki -- but why those might not be good enough is that there's really no "extensibility built-in," which I think is distinguishable from mere "tons of plugins?"
Isn’t this argument also true of anyone in a position to wield government power? Politicians aren’t really renowned for their honesty, for example.
It's written like that a lot in the Old Testament.

But the universe is absurd, isn't it? I mean, look at yourself, where you're sat, what's going on. It's crazy, and yet it has meaning. And if you spend a while contemplating the fact that the source of the universe must be beyond the confines of space and time, I think that's ample material to get started with.

The Bible is an remarkable book, but the more amazing thing is that the whole shebang is immediately accessible to you right now, just by virtue of the fact that you exist and you're reading this.

> Tech sufferers greatly from a "God Complex" syndrome, and it's exactly what will prevent it from getting better. Even the largest social platforms are not insulated from bad leadership being accountable, and frankly, that's the reason why things really die a slow death these days.

I think I know what you mean, though I typically frame it almost like they have an Anti-god problem. Big tech leaders are often explicitly trying to avoid passing moral or ethical judgment, so instead rely on "data" or "numbers." What a lot of the "I-follow-data" cultists seem not to realize is that "data" is basically inherently meaningless per se, thus decision-making based on data alone builds interpretive value judgments into the decision rule being used. It also invites fanatics to start producing manipulated/biased/tendentious "data" that appears to be some impartial metric, but is in fact just veiled motivated reasoning exploited to drive an agenda.

Facebook and Google appear to have followed this to its logical extent, allowing literal algorithms to make decisions "based on data." So has Twitter, though Twitter's system is probably even more dysfunctional.

At least when God damns you, you can argue your case and be presented with the evidence and know who to complain to. Tech damnation involves receiving a vaguely-worded message about polices or "community guidelines" being violated (per some unknown interpretation), or no reason at all. You have no recourse or chance to argue your case, even though many times the damnation was an error.

It doesn't matter whether the data is stored on a blockchain or elsewhere. Storing data is costly and storing it on a blockchain is even more costly. Someone has to pay for the cost or it won't be stored.
Thanks Chad!

CTO and cofounder of Firstparty here, just wanted to mention our trial comes with 1,000,000 events free so if anyone wants to kick the tires it should be free for a long time for projects that don’t do a ton of web traffic, and we would love your feedback.
I think some people learned P-E-MD-AS as if MD and AS didn't have the same precedence. I mean, it's a convention anyway, so they aren't really "wrong" insomuch as just being unusual. But it does seem like an odd thing to disagree about.

I think there's also some confusion about whether the / symbol is actually being used as a single line equivalent to a fraction, which might introduce some ambiguity? I forget. The number of ways that people can misunderstand things is infinite, so it can be hard to keep track.

Anyway, parentheses are cheap and misunderstandings, even when the other party ought to take the blame, can be expensive, so I've taken up the habit of being generous with the things.
Not really. It would crush things like small forums and startups -- if you can't delete porn, spam, off-topic posts, etc. without a full-time moderation crew, then only megacorps can operate websites with user-contributed content.

Better to break them up to address the monopsony problems, and maintain the full strength of Section 230.
Given your background and opinions on the matter, I'd be interested to hear what you think goes on in the large, barbed-wire lined, centers they regularly ship Uyghurs in and out of. Do you think they are genuinely good places meant to help an under privileged minority group?

Yup.

Eh... No, usually not.
It's not clear who should be blamed for the Hawaii event, except for general government incompetence. It was a planned drill, but the exact time of the drill was purposefully not communicated to the team which handles the alert, to see how they respond. The manager of that team read out the alert text and concluded with: "This is not a drill. This is not a drill. This is not a drill."

The guy whose responsibility to push out the alert had to make a split-second decision. He knew there was a drill happening sometime that day, but his boss said (three times!) that this was not the drill. Better safe than sorry: he pushes the button. I can't really fault him.

Arguably the boss-man should face the repercussions for saying it wasn't a drill when it was, but then that's also kinda the point of the drill--to see how the team would handle a "live" situation. Maybe their interface should have been mocked or the actual alert disabled right before the drill, unbeknownst to them? So it is the drill planners that are responsible?

It's really hard to nail down an individual at fault here, rather than general bureaucratic incompetence.
Bet you 20 bucks that both of those companies would be happy to burn and churn OP. There's no trust left anymore. It's dishonesty all the way down.

A surprisingly good image format is to use a per line, or block, ar encoder, then compress the result with gzip on a low setting. It parallelizes very nicely, and beats png for encode, decode, and is trivial to implement.
I don't care about levels.fyi. I work at one of the companies you've mentioned. You're lying if you're saying that getting 50% increase is the norm or that the average promotion time is 2 years.

Perhaps, for example, an E3 at Meta can go to E4 in 2 years, but an E3 isn't making 300K total comp at Meta in California to begin with, nor would they go to 500K after promotion.

If you're a hiring manager then I don't need to explain to you that a 50% increase even with the highest ratings isn't some normal thing that happens.

Maybe you've seen it happen, I believe you. My point is that it's not the norm and you should stop saying it like it is.
"We usually start the release notes for the next major version right after we released a major version, and try to keep up with what happens" That is a best practice right there, and I've long been an advocate of 'continuous documentation' because it's actually less work per unit of quality over time.
"Break up FB" still doesn't directly fix the problem. Breaking up FB would be a punishment but not actually a fix for the problem.
Pretty sure emails don't magically disappear even if you use Org Mode.

Finally! Someone who actually gets it! Truth be told, you can substitute "realistic" or "sustainable" with "low" and have a good guide to performing well at one remote job here.
no, the epidemiological model in question has two degrees of freedom, and one of those degrees is stipulated by the assumed shape of the curve (exponential, even though that's a poor fit overall, logistic being a better fit). R0 does not constrain the other degree of freedom; it only gives you the initial condition. it requires knowing that other degree of freedom, which you're making implicit assumptions about, that governs what you can say about the rapidness of spread and makes some statements about bounding. this is rudimentary calculus and linear modeling.
"Own a piece of a local Olive Garden by paying us money!" is usually treated as financial fraud, not satire – unless there's a reasonable actual contract that allows me to at least theoretically own something if unlimited breadsticks and "Italian" food are suddenly a hit in my area.

Can anyone explain to me how what the projected value proposition of this is?
> Remove that and you have all the existing scams of crypto, except now your personal information and account access is at stake in addition to your money.

No, precisely the opposite. It's only with crypto that you can have a system that can authenticate you and authorize you to access resources without caring about any of your "real world" data. And if you are worried that your "wallet" might be hacked, you can simply use different ones for each different purpose. Your "money" crypto wallet does not need to be the same as your "online identity" wallet.
