From a business perspective, you're allowing for engagement despite different time valuations by player personas. The savvy game designer would not only encourage this, it would develop a way to capture a portion of the proceeds.

Thanks -- my own case is pretty much identical to yours. My LastPass account was from 2017, and haven't used it since. I can also suspect a LastPass extension exploit from 2017 i.e. that's maybe how my password was stolen.

(I actually found an email from LastPass dating back to 2017 where they were confirming that a vulnerability with their extension had been fixed. The subject of that email is "Security Update for LastPass Extensions" and it dates back to March 31st, 2017)

I also agree with you that the attackers may have been hoping this time that some people would click the email link by mistake.

What's most baffling to me are the 3 independent reports of people changing their passwords, and getting the "Someone just used your master password" emails again i.e. the same attackers that attacked you and me somehow also having access to these new passwords. That can be explained in some ways (those 3 people are currently infected with the same malware) but that explanation seems, to me, very unsatisfying.

> likely to be convinced by the govt attempting to rescind support from me?

Except rescinding support for anyone who would have qualified was never even discussed. The question is about making an exception to _extend_ support to a group that _wouldn't_ have otherwise gotten it. Perhaps it shouldn't be that way, but the status quo is that being dismissed for cause for refusing to abide by legal employment requirements is disqualifying for receiving unemployment.

The analysis you usually see is that the Democratic method of getting rid of the underclass is to sweat them out with a rising cost of living until they choose to leave.

On this analysis, the effect is certainly there -- a reduction over time is nothing to sneeze at -- and yet not very effective in terms of actually cleaning up the problem.

But note that this strategy would be severely undermined by letting the price of housing in SF fall.

(All? Most? Many?) ONTs support 802.1X for authenticating network access, which supports EAP. And EAP-SIM is one available mechanism, though usually used on the wireless side of networking.

In Canada, Bell had their "Home Hub 3000" and plenty of folks took out the optic and put it in their own hardware; this possibility was 'discontinued' with the Home Hub 4000, which no longer has a removable optic. There is nothing inherent on the ONT that limits connectivity except the arbitrary telco design choices.
You can get an authoritative answer from asking them directly rather than encouraging the kind of low-effort speculation that's going on in this thread.
I wonder the same. Played MMOs growing up. Got scolded a lot for wasting time on video games.

But I look back now and realize a lot of my foundational knowledge on economics, programming, networking, teamwork, came from MMORPGS. They are social games where you deal with people - and that is a valuable experience.

Unfortunately modern MMO’s are very asocial games and I don’t think much can be learned from them.
> Where the money was coming from when Facebook, Google, Youtube, Twitter etc were really good places that were free to use? They all were working to "make the world a better place" and not making money as they were burning billions each year, challenging the traditional and profitable companies.

But they were visibly creating value. Seeing what my friends are up to and organising parties together is pleasant. Being able to find what you want on the internet in 1 second rather than 30 minutes is an obvious improvement to your life. So even if they weren't profitable in the short term, you could see that there was legitimate money to be made.
Not really. It is simply a consequence of a market lacking price transparency.

We have the internet. We have laws protecting employees discussing their pay. There is nothing in capitalism stopping anyone from disclosing their pay and creating a transparent market.

And it is happening, albeit slowly (see levels.fyi and glassdoor). CO’s transparency laws also help, and anything to help transparency will assist. The main resistance I sense is actually from people themselves, for various social and emotional reasons.

Bazel is alright (read: generally better than the competition) as long as you're not doing something uncommon with your toolchain or hitting one of its many shortcomings, otherwise it can quickly become a nightmare. It doesn't even make it easy to access the darn executable you just compiled (!) which always baffles me—if I compiled a binary I don't want it hidden away in some random folder, I want it right there so I can distribute it. And with Python, etc. you hit more obstacles. Make degrades more "gradually" in a sense: it's easy to do arbitrary things in a 1-line recipe, but then it becomes harder to generalize and make it modular. Overall, Bazel definitely wins as the scale of your project grows, and it has tons of useful features, but it's got some ways to go before I'd regard it as "nice".

It's probably related to the ancient worldview where the solar system consists of seven spheres that loosely correspond to planets. Romans weren't cristians until the very late: they removed the statue of Jupiter from their capitol only because the Church wanted to erase all traces of ancient religions. Dodecahedron probably had occult meaning: "the entire skies are arranged according to this shape" and the circular holes must be those planets or spheres, so if one puts a candle in the middle, it would cast "planetary" images on the walls. This would have the symbolic meaning of arranging skies with dodecahedron, and the candle would be the sun.
YC Is not a startup, it's an investment fund. And the admissions team is staff. I find it extremely unlikely that they're handing out any equity to staff that isn't bringing in new business and revenue.

It depends… if you set the standards too high, then fewer people are going to be able to do it, and then you either have a shortage or you have to increase salaries to attract more candidates. However, if you are expecting high standards at ALL professions, then even raising salaries won’t fill your candidate pool enough to find sufficient qualified people.

Raising standards won’t suddenly increase the number of people who can meet those standards. It is likely you will just end up with a lot of shortages for important positions.

The standards have to be considered very carefully to find a balance between ensuring enough quality to be effective but not so high that you can’t fill the need.
So... Why don't CS PhD's get together to do what medical doctors do and form a cartel to further limit the number of PhDs that are granted each year?

The current supply/demand imbalance sounds like the perfect leverage to get the ball rolling. Institutions that don't play ball could be boycotted.

A good number of specialties in medicine have a median income in the upper two thirds of the six digit range. It seems like limiting production of CS PhDs could be equally lucrative.

I think you’ve never really lived in a city that caters to the rich. SF is a far cry from that, believe me.

What you’ll notice is:

* Cops have a visible presence everywhere. They will scrutinize each and every person entering the city.

* Gated communities and guard gated communities. Neighborhoods are designed to be extremely confusing with bizarre zigzags and traffic circles, to trap would be burglars and robbers.

* Neighborhood watch patrolling the streets during the night to make sure suspicious persons are identified and monitored.

In short, SF is a city that caters to government elites and their stooges. The tech elites live in Menlo Park, Los Altos, Saratoga, Los Gatos, etc…

Edit: if you want to see a comedic rendition of what it’s like to accidentally stumble into one of these cities, I highly recommend the Big Lebowski, particularly the scene where the Dude ends up in Malibu. Someone who is not me can corroborate similar events happening when entering such enclaves. ;)

Ask HN: Why does our community enjoy blogging so much?
This question is directed to folks who blog but derive no revenue nor do they plan to derive revenue from it. What motivates you to write and publish your writings online?

More context: I've noticed over time from submissions and comments that many people in our community enjoy writing and blogging. Recently, in an article that was trending about retiring early, the author said that now that he is "financially independent", he plans to spend more time writing. I'm curious what non-monetary reasons people have for spending their free time writing and publishing their writings online.
This would be valuable information to have on the post (e.g. "We pay regionally"). Personally, I avoid companies who adopt this practice.
Those people should ideally have different titles as a way of "checking your work" as a manager. It's easy to let personal bias slip into who you judge to be a $50,000/yr X and who's a $200,000/yr X. But if you call one of those people Junior and one of those people Senior, you at least have to justify it under consistent criteria, and your team can call you out on it if it's clearly unjustified.
known quantities don’t typically share ownership by percentage. certainly an early startup might offer %x equity, but once a quantity is known — therefore, no risk — you’re getting issued amounts of equity based on their value. I would be exceptionally surprised if YC are giving product engineers multi-million stakes at signing, I’d bet money that does not happen. If there is an equity compensation component (doubtful but not impossible), it’ll be measured in dollars.

As much as “exposure” is worthless, having worked for YC is worth more than a few hundred grand. I’d work for YC as an engineer below market rate.
These are cool but when talking of alternative heating systems the author misunderstands how hydronic heating (radiators) work and blames metal for being a poor material for holding heat and as heating the air through convection. This is all incorrect, the heat transfer medium is the water which is great at retaining heat, and the heaters heat primarily through radiation (although they do use convection over fins to speed the rate at which they heat the room.) Another form of hydronic heat would be radiant heat in your floor which would be very close to having a oven stove under your feet.

I think these are neat and the idea of running a stove for only a short time each day would be great, but the architectural drawbacks should be obvious. The heart of your house is now lost to a massive stone structure.

The drawback of taking a long time to heat up shouldn’t be overlooked either. Anyone who has lived in a stone or brick house could tell you that it will stay warm once it’s warm but bringing it up to temperature can take a long while. The same is true of radiant floor heating in a slab. This can make your home difficult to adapt to temperature swings.
By posting the salary, you can let the 200's and 50's self select. Sure: some 50's will aim for 200 roles. But since you're speaking to everyone anyways, you aren't relinquishing the ability to determine a candidate's worth to you.

I feel like we have phrases in software like bikeshedding particularly because these sorts of problems are common in teams. It’s not about being idiots it’s about software being more art than science and these things just being hard and people wanting to treat it more like science than art.
I haven't read James Fleming's book but would like to. I'm glad that the review does not explicitly claim that James Bond fights the Communists, something so often asserted by people who don't know what they're talking about. Ian Fleming created SPECTRE because he thought that the Cold War might end soon, and so wanted a nonpolitical opponent for Bond.

In the films, the USSR is Bond's opponent only in For Your Eyes Only. Red China is the silent backer in Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice, but Auric Goldfinger and SPECTRE are the real enemies, and Thunderball establishes that SPECTRE is willing to work for anyone (including Western powers). Max Zorin in A View to a Kill, General Orlov in Octopussy, and Gustav Graves in Die Another Day are explicitly rogue agents.

There reason for a buyer to not advertise what they are willing to pay is always having an advantage in negotiating price.

That is why you now see businesses advertising pay such as “up to $x per hour”. It is because those businesses have lost a little negotiating power due to shifts in labor supply.

Personally, I am waiting for signs that say “starting at $x”. That will really mean labor’s negotiating position has improved.

I have never used a multi-thousand dollars printer. I own a CR-10 and a Prusa i3 MK3S+ though.

The CR-10 is fun to tinker with. When everything is in place and the printer is properly tuned, it prints well. My main usage for it is less printing parts I care about and more tinkering and learning about the printer itself though, as it's not very reliable (some are, some aren't - I suspect it's cheap because of poor manufacturing and QC).

The Prusa, on the other hand, rarely requires any maintenance apart from the normal stuff -- checking belt tension, replacing nozzles, cleaning the print bed, etc, and with less frequency ensuring that all screws are tight and doing a bit more deep cleaning. That's it. It prints well every time. It's both a pleasure and a bore, since I can just send stuff to it and it will chug away without intervention.

Their support is stellar as well, and everything they do is open source. Most consumer printers you see around are considered i3 clones (from the original Prusa).

I don't know what a few extra thousand $s will give you. I imagine corporate-level support, etc. For the hobbyist, you can't go wrong with Prusa.

They are now taking pre-orders for a larger, CoreXY printer. I'm trying hard to justify not shelling out for one.
Ah but a change in the price of BTC does not in fact create any value - it just means that that $100 now corresponds to less BTC. You can profit from that fluctuation, by being on the right side of the cash exchange at two separate points in time. Somebody else will be on the wrong side of that exchange (well, in aggregate anyway - there will be many somebodies on either side) and will suffer a corresponding loss.

Since BTC is intrinsically worthless, any 'price' that might be ascribed to it is meaningless (aside from the profit/loss action described above).

The linked LWN article mentions that it’s difficult to put comments in inline LuaTeX macros because those macros remove newlines.

To add a comment to the middle of a line in Lua, use the --[[ comment ]] form:

a = 1 --[[ Set a to 1 ]] print(a)

If we have a comment that has ]] in it, we can do this instead:

a = 1 --[=[ We love [[brackets]] a lot ]=] print(a)

The --[[ (or --[=[ ) form also works for multi-line comments

a = 1 --[[ Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur

The "fee" for fiat is inflation. Your money is regularly losing value even if you do not transact it. Not to mention cash transactions as you describe are on the decline and do not represent the majority of transactions that happen in the U.S.
