> If they did that then scammers would coax people into giving them access to the push token

Since it would still go through apple servers, they could put mitigations in place, such as checking for repeated messages to multiple accounts, one IP pushing to multiple accounts, the actual content of the message, etc. They could also put an interface right on the phone that lets you mark it as spam. They could also give you an easy way to rotate the key.

> What kind of use cases do you have in mind?

- Set up a cron to trigger an push when I know we need to leave the house.

- Set up a cron to trigger a push at 7pm to all the phones in the house to remind the kids to come to dinner (and remind me it is dinner time).

- Use a weather API and the Nest API to determine when it is time to open or close the window and push that.

- Use my cameras to determine when the postman has arrived and then push that the mail has arrived.

- Basically any useful household information that can be gathered via API and pushed without anyone having to ask for it.
There are a lot of companies that don’t adjust salaries when engineers go remote, but they also only let engineers they are committed to keeping go remote in the first place.
Well, if you are on the higher end, you probably don't want to share with those on the lower end, simply because 1 of 3 things will happen.

1. They ask for a raise and don’t get it. You lose a team member when they leave.

2. You can’t get a raise because your boss is forced to give your colleague a raise and doesn’t want to have to hand out raises.

3. Your colleague stews and resents you. People say it won’t happen, but I have heard a ton of complaining about how X earns so much and they don’t deserve it from co-workers.
A family member's dog's ACL surgery cost more than the ACL surgery they themselves got a few years before. Pet medicine is filled by pharmacies and costs as much as human medicine does. It's nuts.
I never understand what pushes people to download Netflix/Disney media and share it on torrent sites.

Don't get me wrong, I am glad they do. But, what is the positive for them?

The negatives (angry copyright lawyers from one of the richest corporations) outweighs the positives (some clout on 1337x or Usenet or wherever these guys dump it)
Minimum and maximum pay is always useful information.
Would using the home assistant app and api be a solution to that problem?

Centurylink is not a fast moving, nimble organization where most employees are team players. They are a legacy telecom provider that is an amalgamation of decades old systems held together with baling wire and the halfhearted effort of many employees, rocking the boat can backfire on you badly with them.

If your willing to put up with the process (gears turn slowly in Lumen/Centurylink land) issues like this can get resolved, but if you want more responsive service at comically low prices your going to need to move to Ziply territory north of Seattle.
I've seen people watching mesmerized as a Roomba vacuumed the floor. A time saving device indeed!
Profit comes when their operating costs are less than the take home from any transaction fees and Coinbase rewards they’ve collected in the same period. It’s not a direct function of liquidity entering the system. It’s true that rising prices from new cash flow means more profit for miners, but that doesn’t imply the opposite. The price could stay constant for the next 100 years and miners that have found a way to remain profitable within that price point would be fine.

it doesn't create value, it retains value for those who created it.
If they’re out of touch with reality, there will be a price adjustment or they’ll fail. Something tells me they’ve done the research to determine what the average person will pay.

Looking at some newer films rentals are $4-$6 and “buying” $8-$15. Probably more for really new releases.

$4 for a rental isn’t bad compared to renting a VHS or DVD at Blockbuster a few years ago.

Compared to taking a few adults and kids to a movie theater, it’s a steal.
Most companies don’t have set salaries in practice anyway, so it ends up being whatever they successfully get away with.

So in practice, yes, but companies aren’t so deliberate about it as to have it in policy.
I didnt read much of the thread but I will assume that most of the people here is aware of how every single NFT game is just a ponzi.

But I've lived myself, what the author mentions as a "way to lift people out of poverty.", from the era before NFT or "play to earn" games existed.

I come from Venezuela, a full 3rd world country and I was "lucky" to play an MMO (lineage 2) during my young days and somehow I was good at it, i invested so many hours on it and managed to get into top tier guilds and worlds 1st event, and somehow, my character and my items were worth thousands of dollars in the market, and suddenly i went from being a 14 y.o boy sitting in pc, to bringing more money in 1 week to my family, than my entire family together for 1 year.

I could understand that, while all other people on the game were playing for fun, it became my job, a job that actually got me and my family out of poverty...

At the time (2007) there were a lot of chinese "farmers", and people used to make fun of them, not only fun but the rest of the players were blantantly denigrating towards them, at 1st I didnt understand but once that I became a non-chinese farmer, I realized how It was a really good thing to do.

Eventually I started botting, I bought more PCs and had a full army of bots, I kept making more and more money, and it helped me and my family leave the country and pretty much bought a house, a car and paid my family expenses for like 4 years out of lineage 2 adena farming.

Also, scripting the bots pretty much got me to learn programming and english, so what I am now it's pretty much the result of some guy from chicago offering me 20$ in paypal for an item i had in my inventory that i got it while killing a monster, it all started there, that litle forbidden transaction in an MMO, changed my life completely

So, even tho it was like a job for me, I never saw it like a job, even tho it gave me a lot of money, i never got into the game as a way to get money, i was just a young kid trying to have some fun..

But now, I get really sad everytime I see those ponzi NFT games, that only sell the idea of getting rich, and I get even more sad when I see tons of venezuelan youngsters fall for it, honestly, they are just playing with their desperation.
I used to live next to a DVD rental place that was 1€ per day. Often I would return the movie the same night. I used to watch 1-2 movies per month. Nowadays I have Netflix for what, 12€ a month? I still watch maybe one movie a month. So I guess I pay ~10x for not having to step outside?
Nuance is required here I think; with regard to working remotely - I've been working remotely now for 14 years. In my albeit limited experience (6 different employers, ~60 interviews) companies that were hiring remote before 2020 offered pay at the same rate/range as if they were hiring locally from their home base. I didn't run into a company that adjusted pay for geographic location until 2019. After 2020, I saw a marked increase in the practice. So much so that it became one of my first questions for recruiters/screeners. The entire industry view of remote work has now changed, and it at least appears that ideas around comp are as well.
$50,000 - $450,000.
The UI is also terrible. I always end up on the marketing page for a show and have to figure out how to be redirected to the page that actually lets me stream.
Agreed. At the end of the day you pay X for job Y. Adding a "where you live" variable makes no sense in the context of the work required for job Y.
For what it's worth, the Nix definition for autotools-using programs can basically be:

{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "foo-1.0";
src = ./.;
buildInputs = [ pkgs.libfoo pkgs.libbar ];
}

You could make a CLI that does the templating for you, but there's nothing fundamental here that would require a fork of Nix (or Nixpkgs/NixOS) itself.
Purely out of curiosity (I've never permanently lived somewhere where woodburning stoves were essential for home heating): is this because people are over-burning wood to compensate for the slow warming-up time, or because the stoves themselves are inefficient, or something else?
CenturyLink ONTs are set up to do the bare minimum. Think bridge mode. No NAT. There is a separate CPE router to terminate one end of the PPPoE connection and do NAT as required.
YC is a startup, and I’m willing to die on this hill.

If YC stops considering themselves a startup in 50 years, pg will be turning in his grave. It would mean there’s room for a competitor to dethrone YC, just like any other big company.

And startup jobs come with equity. That’s one of the biggest incentives to work for a startup. Otherwise the smart, capable hackers would quietly focus on getting a top job at Google.

All else being equal, there’s no reason to work as hard as you can for $10M when you can get it by coasting for two decades at a big company. And YC staff works hard.
Yes, everyone likes to think they are top 10% (or even above average).

That is what I meant by my last sentence.
I tried to start a trend a few months ago on the month Who's hiring posts to get posters to put the compensation. I automatically upvote any post with compensation, but few have it.

I even posted about it once and got a ton of upvotes but then the mods buried my post.

I would love to see more job posts with compensation in fairness to people who aren't good at negotiating, but it just isn't the norm these days.
If you want to have a way to specify rules that use the same command, but still specify the rules manually, look up "!macros" in `man tup`. If the issue is that the commands need to write and read some temp files, then note that you can write temp files in a tup command (they need to be placed in $TMPDIR iirc). Note that the tup command can be calling a script that you place alongside, in case this makes specifying your sequences of commands easier. You can define the macro in top-level Tuprules.tup and use include_rules in all the Tupfiles to get it included.

Does this fail to address your problem?
I'm guessing it was something like a jumper over an AGC (auto gain control) circuit VCRs use to avoid saturating the tape, since the MacroVision mechanism was basically to intermittently blast out-of-frame lines with too-intense brightness, which has no effect on a typical TV, but does make the AGC clamp down so the whole frame is intermittently too dark.
It depends what they mean by pay. Everyone company I know will absolutely do base salary for your region, while stock grants will be pretty universal between regions within countries.

Depending on the company sometimes the differences in base salary will be very minimal, say $225k in Ohio versus $250k in SF.
Does anyone actually try these tools? Do they work?
It's not in their interests as investors and owners to decrease information asymmetry in hiring. Maintaining that asymmetry allows for greater opportunities to profit.
The CDC Has New Covid Guidelines. This Is What It Got Wrong
I think most people are naive (even on HN) regarding compensation and negotiations.

The first thing I do at the start of every interview conversation is ask comp. I then tell them my total comp and ask for X% over. If equity is discussed, I always require my same base pay or slightly higher.

The reality is that ensures a continued trajectory upward. I also always request 2-4x any equity I’m offered. If they want to keep me, they need to make it worth my while at a higher risk profile (equity isn’t cash on hand).

Equity is always a gamble, for the company and the employee. I personally demand higher because plenty of my work is open source and I offer more references as well. That mitigates the company risk and in return I demand more equity (as I’m reducing said companies risk).
The problem here arises that any company that isn't tiny has engineers with the same basic job description, but at multiple levels of seniority. And then multiplies the larger the company gets. I.e. we have a Software Engineer 1, Software Engineer 2, 3, 4 etc. It can be tough to know which specific role someone is going to end up in until they're interviewed (and even then it's a crapshoot....)

Not accusing you (or anyone) of this, but just a general observation- a lot of these 'companies should have salary ranges' discussions seem to come uncomfortably close to an old-school union or government employee system of 'if you have x years, you're at x level'. I think we should celebrate individual accomplishment- some engineers with 4 years of experience are just better & worth more than some engineers with 10 years, and that's OK. My point is- most companies are hiring at multiple levels, and we can't know what level you're at until we interview you. So we can say Software Engineer 1 makes this, Engineer 2 makes that, etc.- but we don't know where you're going to end up
You’re part of the deal flow. It’s in the job description.
One way to establish that expertise would be to execute and show the others that your advise/strategy is good. For that I think we have to execute fast. So we can build first, ask permission later. And if you build fast enough, then others won't question you as much.

But tbh I have had only reasonable success this way and you have to be ok with pushback. And gets is harder if others around you make it a point to pushback - instead of seeing if your solution solves the problem and letting you own the solution for a period of time.
I really like this theory, especially because it accounts for the varying hole sizes, adjoined balls, and the 12 sides and 30 edges that only a dodecahedron could provide. None of the other theories account for all of these unique attributes.

> Since Filipinos are the largest growth market for Axie Infinity, they must also be a major source of money flowing into the system. Instead of being a net provider of jobs and capital, it appears to just be redistributing the same wealth between Filipinos, and collecting a 4.25% cut for the service.

It seems that the source of money flowing into the system are individuals with capital to buy the incoming producing PPE-type assets (i.e., Axies).

Guilds pool capital to buy P2E assets and rent it out to scholars for a % of all income earned by the player (known as scholars in the current P2E nomenclature).

I think there are currently two acceptable ways to earn income in our society:
1. Take relatively less risk, get paid a wage. Owner of incoming producing assets bear the risk of deploying capital in such a manner.
2. Take high risk. Deploy capital to acquire assets and pay wages to others who utilize those assets to produce (unguaranteed) income for you.

P2E introduces a third: deploy capital to acquire assets, loan the assets out, and take a cut of income generated.

P2E in its current form has similarities to serfdom. The owners of Axies (and the AXS tokens) are the lords.
Well, Malthus' dismal predictions of starvation were averted through improvements in agricultural productivity. I would say this is a success of technology.

With respect to failures of politics, I would suggest you look to nuclear proliferation. All political solutions to this have been miserable failures.
It had to do with screwing around with the vertical blanking interval. TV's had no issue with it, but VCR's would fail.

Cable TV "scrambling" was similar back in the day as well. It wasn't so much that the signal was "encrypted" as it was "modified" in such a way it wouldn't play on a normal tv anymore. Over time they could modify the scrambling technique so that any box you did buy to descramble a signal would be worthless in a few months when they changed the method.

The only way to really descramble Pay TV was to be an electronics guy who could reconstruct the video signal. Usually you needed the minimum of an oscilloscope to analyze the timing signals, and then the ability to create a circuit to fix it -- it wasn't exactly easy.
Just like herbalife or many of those MLM schemes, the initial entry fee does sound like scam.

Extracting fewer resources from the planet doesn't have to mean shrinking consumption. We can have both economic growth and less extractive consumption.

Or, as a currently-dead comment puts it, "Buy more videogames and digital movies". I might add books and music, but you get the point.

The choice of buying an electric over an ICE is absolutely better for the environment, regardless of carbon payback time — the reduction in fossil fuel consumption starts immediately and there is now an ICE entering the second hand market helping keep second hand car prices low so someone replacing a much older ICE has a 35mpg option over their previous vehicle.
If we just build houses out of the trees we can keep the carbon out for a long time.
Any business worth working for will need to put a reasonable minimum to attract quality people, because other competing employers will be trying to make their job listings stand out and listing a higher minimum.

I don't see any popular evidence that Boomers were different in inherent personality, rather there were enormous social changes afoot brought about by inevitable historical shifts, which puts them in a different context.

Younger people also don't have little living memory of those before them for a basis of comparison.

My Great Grandparents were disowned from their respective families because one was French Catholic the other English Protestant. That wold have been 'normal' for the time. That's not even the tip of the iceberg for 'estranged family'.

My German ancestors would not attend my Irish ancestors wedding reception (they did the ceremony, but not afterwards), because they felt the Irish were brooding alcoholics. Which would itself be a bit of racism, but it was essentially true, I mean, the stories I've been told ...

Some of the casual Boomer bigotry I see on other Social Media and TikTok especially is fairly shocking, it's as though people have no insight into what happened in the last century, especially the later part of it.

Maybe it's possible that lead poisoning had something to do with it, but I wonder if it would have changed things that much.

We no longer have any living memory of the holocaust, the introduction of mass media / TV, life before vaccines, serious adversity, life before plastics (!), birth control, antibiotics, vast infant mortality, real war (Vietnam being the last), or overt and institutional racism (i.e. the bank policy says 'no loans to blacks'), or direct segregation (this fountain is for whites only) or when almost everyone 'went to church' as a cultural event, not so much for overt religiosity, but wherein it was an more or less just a community activity that 'people did'.

In terms of material possessions, safety, opportunity, legal recourse, and focus on self ennoblement and aspiration, we live in an age like no other. We are collectively like the children of a 'Very Wealthy Family' - some a little better off than others.

Hating on an older generation is a perennial pastime, it's the lack of context that's a bit disturbing.

Finally, I believe that every individual story of social malaise is 'very complicated' where there are generally few true heroes and few true villains.

Axie Infinity isn't interesting as a game, but as a model it is.

The other day I was going through air port security. I had to wait 10 minutes for one of my bags to be screened a second time. I happened to be waiting while some type of manager was doing a huddle for a new shift of employees about to start.

The dumb shit the manager was telling the group of 12-15 TSA workers was abhorrent. Just really vile statements about how to interact with people going through the security lines.

It dawned on me that the only rationale for this completely useless facade of stress inducing security was simply that these were low-income workers who needed a job, and we're subsidizing it through various types of taxes.

I believe Axie Infinity is dumb, but so are much bigger things around us that we talk much less about. However, Axie Infinity is a good model for a way of creating economies to support people who need jobs. What might help society is if, instead of time wasting games, and meaningless security jobs we paid people to learn valuable skills through a gaming like system.

There are a large amount of people that think the Republican subservience to trump is a “political train wreck” and also hate the progressive politics of the far left.

A lot of people that would have preferred Bloomberg, some center left, or any center right non-trump Republican.

Ah 'the people' (or at least a large chunk of them) are easily told what they want - by those financially and ideologically motivated politicians.

The idea of government 'getting out the way' is itself a political/propaganda construct, if people actually sat down and thought about it they'd realise that in fact they actually quite like the government getting in the way.
