Unpopular opinion, but I think it would be better to respect the author’s decision to retract their words from a very front-and-center experience with their colleagues’ colleagues.

I’ve made a few nutty comments myself, and it took years of training to break the habit of saying whatever comes to mind online. And I still fail occasionally. The delete button is a merciful respite when you come to your senses, and I empathize with the author’s desire to be forgotten.

That said, I can’t convince you to remove the link, and even if you did, I guess someone else would post it. I just can’t remember any time in HN history that this has happened (though I’m sure it has), and we might want to weigh accordingly whether it’s worth going against a community member’s wishes. After all, they are as much a member of this community as you or I.

EDIT: I admit, though, I read the article out of curiosity. It seems fine.

Maybe they retracted it because the top comment was calling out the author’s history in a very personal way. But whatever the reason, it’s still their decision.
The defining feature of capitalism is the private ownership of capital. You can have whatever pricing mechanisms you like as long as the profits go to the owner
It's not a given that brute forcing is the strategy the attacker would choose. That might just lead to their Tor & VPN IPs getting quickly blocked, if they aren't already. There are only around 1500 Tor exit nodes and it's trivial to block them. Sometimes trying to stay under the radar might be the smarter choice.

Anyway, we still have no idea what the scale of the attack is or when exactly it started (IIRC someone reported this happening much earlier this month).
I found that telegram works pretty well to get notifications from my personal server. Its pretty easy to set up a channel and bot.
Hm, I couldn’t get it to work on my iPhone (not that I actually expected it to) - I could do some things but the controls didn’t seem to work consistently.
Actuary here, having previously studied maths. I considered the exams hard not because of the level of understanding needed, but because of the amount of content that needed to be learned for each exam. I think most people studying A level maths can pass the exams.
They probably block Google voice numbers, many similar services do.
I'm so fine with 480p

If it's not first party, it's probably not needed--especially if it's with Cloudflare.
The one that springs to mind was the one that changes the contents of the page while it's in the background to a google log in page—very sophisticated and not something most people were prepared to spot, as people think of following a link as the moment of vulnerability.

Tons of people who are very aware and capable have been phished successfully. If you think it isn't likely, you are likely vulnerable.

"Not very likely" is just obviously not true—phishing is a very common attack, and companies like Google have adopted security keys to protect against it.
The other day I stumbled upon an episode of 'Tougher than nails', some kind of 'Survivor'-type show for craftsmen. One of tasks to complete involved using metal templates to properly shape the diameter of a round wooden rod. Well, this required a lot of hammering...

So just as a guess, could that be used to smoothen some rods, like arrows or spires? It would be rather a manual tool, like a sanding block.

Another guess, is some kind of junction holder. Like a wheel/spokes hub or some sliding rope knot in harnesses, or tent-pitching aid.

Made of bronze there must be some reason for durability, hardness, water contact?
Then probably this is the reason.

I never need to run app and editor side by side on same screen. I always have 2+ screen in any setup. So I just threw it to another if I want ever want to run it side by side. And besides, I seldom codes with my 27 4K screens.

They ares used mostly on browsing web/gaming. which you can't use something side by side isn't even a issue.
You forgot to mention фарцовка, which was essentially a grass-roots sort of a fix to this quasi-unofficial class divide.

There isn't even an en wikipedia article about it, while it had a order or two of magnitude larger turnover than Beryozka shops and "распределители".

I so do not miss this all, but it seems to come back right now most anywhere.
That first article references an essay called ‘Not all vampires suck blood.’ The link is dead, so I found a backup at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20610102
Wikipedia:

“Smaller dodecahedra with the same features (holes and knobs) and made from gold have been found in South-East Asia along the Maritime Silk Road. They have been used for decorative purposes and the earliest items appear to be from the Roman epoch.”
It is usually correct for my purposes (electronic design automation). When it isn't I need to figure out how to handle overflow. There is no automatic solution that is right in all cases, and a trap certainly isn't.
If you self-host, FCM is not involved at all. The app will run a foreground service which keeps a connection to your selfhosted server open.

I detailed it a bit more here with links to the docs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29719493

Edit: If you want to use FCM for your selfhosted server, you can, but you have to build your own .APK file. Instructions are here:

x86-32 was removed because it’s significantly less secure and performant than x86-64 and there were unfixable issues with the ABI like fragile ObjC superclasses. Don’t need any secret projects to explain that. The only people who seem to still have a problem are video game developers, who should maybe try writing clean code.

32-bit isn’t completely gone, it’s still on watchOS.

As I have been saying for years: make is the worst build system, except for all the others.
A file or folder can have a name with mixed uppercase and lowercase characters. That name would show in the directory listing. But it should be addressable case-insensitively.

And it shouldn't be possible to create two or more separate files in the same directory which differ only by case.
> every parent is just a human who is mostly winging it trying the best they can
This is an eye opening statement. Often as a kid, parents tend to look like gods and superheros because they are doing things which are impossible for us. As we age we tend to notice the shortcomings both from the current situation as they are ageing and from our child hood which we have better understanding now. Again, second order thinking helps a lot here I guess.
Sounds reminiscent of when ML scientists were surprised that they built racist systems, assuming that their race-free math meant that the resulting system would also be race-free
Well, yeah, my entire point is that those $65K places fail to hire/retain, precisely because they can't/won't pay and consider the bottom of the CRA range insanely generous/competitive. Maybe I wasn't clear enough about that point. The whole thread descended into pedantry about a multiple when everyone concedes the basic point.

What the CRA survey doesn't tell you is that a huge percentage of CS departments just have failed searches year after year. (And, actually, there is some CRA-E report somewhere that laments the incredible difficulty of hiring in CS.)
I wish Apple itself had a service like this. Make it part of iCloud. Give me a URL and a token so I can just send a push notification to my phone without an app. Make it part of the OS.

That typically didn't work very well, as there was crude anti-copying tech in most VHS consumer machines.
Just like tup, redo keeps popping up as a nice conceptual thing, but none of these take off in practice.

For most projects the winning build system is not the most conceptually interesting one, nor the most flexible one. It's the most "convention over configuration" one. This is why Meson has taken the freedesktop/gnome/etc world by storm.
Even when you are wealthy or famous at the peak of whatever fame or wealth you may have, or at the end of it, some times you just want to be left alone and have a sandwich.

I'll admit: I have a bad habit of whenever I'm angry just rant online.

I deleted the article since I didn't want to put any more bad press against CenturyLink or myself.

I could just lie that "I turned off my Tor relay" and do nothing.

About the other CenturyLink issue, it turned out it's an issue with the ONT, not the DoS protection, but a hard limit on the Broadcom Packet Flow Cache which is none of CL's issues. I'm buying another ONT off eBay to hope to fix it.

Venus and Mars both found their own kinds of balance. As far as we can tell, balances that favor life are rare.
> Of course the elephant in the room is that this "reward" is artificial

It's only artificial in a sense that it's one level deeper than our current economy (and is smaller and subject to the whims of the developers), but in the grand scheme of the universe our current economy is just as artificial.
The incumbent insurance companies maintain their position in the market through having large amounts of capital which lets them ultimately offer lower premiums than a new competitor entering the market which may have less capital. This means the legacy insurance companies don't need to prioritise investing in innovation to maintain their position, hence the old companies stay around.
Ask HN: Why doesn't YC list compensation for their own open positions?
HN, being a rather progressive forum, tends to trend in support of including compensation details for job posts, open positions, recruiter reach-outs, etc. This position [1] was just posted today and has been on the front page all day. Does anyone have any insider information or generally good theory as to why YC's own job posts include none of that information?

Not exactly a ringing endorsement!
This had been upvoted and now it is downvoted, even though it is obviously true, as the article demonstrates.
Not to pile on, but that's just not how AI works. Basically then, Alexa must be shut off from searching the internet at all, since anything its algorithm finds would be company endorsed.

And search engines certainly do give on answer, google "are eggs good for you" and you will see an answer highlighted at the top of the page.

I've been getting a lot of spam routed into my inbox instead of directly to spam for a couple months now. Before then, I never ever had spam not route directly to the spam folder.

It's been very strange. Things have actually gotten a little bit better lately, but for several weeks I was receiving several spam messages a day, all routed to my inbox. They all appear to be a similar format too, they all have a little area at the bottom with a fake company address, fake unsubscribe, and the subject is always sent using unicode text instead of ascii.
Though provoking article. The main problem that play-to-earn games have is that they need to rely on external cash-inflows to reward the players. This makes them very close to Ponzi schemes or Casino's.

The exams have two ultimate objectives:

1. Perpetuate the actuarial guild

2. Shovel money from aspiring actuaries and insurance companies into the SOA's coffers

They aren't really, and aren't really meant to be, a marker of general, transferable intellectual skills or achievement outside the insurance industry. So it's not surprising that no one other than the parties involved (the SOA, aspiring actuaries, and insurance companies) recognizes them as a meaningful credential.
I remember coming across the first sick systems article you mentioned almost 5 years back when I was with a company which the symptoms of a sick system and this article helped immensely. While I could know that the place is bad and not suitable for me I couldn't really pinpoint why it is bad and how I can get out of it. This article gave me a great perspective and actually propelled my career.
Is this related to the other similarly-purposed ntfy [1]? Previous discussions here [2].

It was found in a woman's grave goods: https://sci-hub.st/10.1007/s00283-013-9403-7

Sewing, spinning, weaving, and knitting tools are fairly common grave goods to find in women's graves: spindle whorls, needle cases, bone beaters, etc. As far as wood vs. bronze, almost certainly survivorship bias. The only wooden objects that survive that long are those that have fallen in bogs, where the anoxic environment prevents rot. Normal wooden grave goods will have rotted away by now.
You're not wrong, but... Ohioans, for better or worse, for right or wrong, consider themselves Midwesterners.

I grew up in and near the Appalachian foothills. Appalachia has my vote, if it ever happens.

> Ohio is, I think, the only state that would fall right smack dab in the middle of all 3 new sub-midwests!

IIRC, Colin Woodard, in his book American Nations, split Ohio into 3 distinct cultural regions. I think it's apt and your thoughts on the matter are shared by many others.
I'm one of the people that replied yesterday.

I haven't used LastPass since, at the latest, 2017. I had actually deleted all my passwords from my LastPass vault, but originally kept the account because of LastPass's password sharing feature, though I stopped using that as well. I believe I had the LastPass extension installed on both Chrome and Firefox, on both Mac and Ubuntu. I primarily used Chrome on Mac. I did have uBlock Origin on those setups as well, but I really doubt that's the vector, it's likely just incredibly popular with all users of Hacker News. My LastPass password was globally unique and between 15 and 20 characters long (with some symbols and digits). This password shows no matches at https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords . I considered sharing the password here, but just in case an old version of my vault is out there somewhere somehow I'm not going to. My understanding is that such a password would be so incredibly impractical to brute force that it's not worth considering. Unless I'm outdated/wrong on that, that means the password leaked in clear text (or hashed with a broken hashing method). As I haven't typed that password since at least 2017 and I can't imagine LastPass is storing passwords in clear text, I'm inclined to believe the password was stolen in clear text from client machines (either LastPass extension exploit or malware) in or before 2017. It's weird they were not used earlier, but as LastPass doesn't allow new IPs by default, maybe the attackers knew this and were sitting hoping an additional exploit would allow their user. But now they're just trying in the off chance someone clicks the "That's me" link in the email. This doesn't explain the more recent claims, personally I'm inclined to disregard them as unrelated noise (user confusion, reused password, etc).
This only works if either the splitter or the capture card removes HDCP, right?
The only coin that's actually stable, because it's the only one that has any actual purpose.
Horrible service, massive bureacracy that makes improvements or accountability impossible, corruption at every level. I'm glad for you that you've been insulated from the bad, but it's so trivially visible to anyone who cares to look that it is clear that you are part of the problem. By not being aware of, or by your not having the ability to help fix problems you become aware of, you are participating in an abominable kafkaesque nightmare.

The amount of money shuffling between acquired isps and the main company is insane. The corporate / enterprise customer service is actively hostile. I've gone through multiple account managers in the last decade, across multiple jobs, who have lied through their teeth, disrupted service, ignored pleas for assistance, and made an absolute hell out of dealing with the company. Every person I've spoken to ranging over a half dozen states have reported similar batshit horrible experiences, across every product from local phone to voip to dark fiber to metro ethernet. The bills are deliberately crafted to be inscrutable and allow the company to arbitrarily overcharge. Early this year, my company was overcharged $12k in a month, when the regular charges are around $2k. This happened to over a dozen local and regional companies, some of whom wouldn't have known to challenge it.

In recent years I have had to go to public service agencies, looped in senators and congressmen to bring pressure to bear, escalated problems to c level executives, and it's left a horrible impression which seems universally held among my peers, all over the country. I even have friends working for the company, all planning their exit because it's such a shitshow internally. If any company deserves to be broken up, it is Lumen/CenturyLink.

They're probably responsible for me losing years of life expectancy, and my experience is far from unique.
Yes but even an amoral organization could be expected to anticipate damage to their reputation when they're seen to be propping up a sufficiently transparent pyramid scheme, and decide not to cross that line. I'm still not sure they made the right move for their long-term interests, considering there's more reputational damage to come when the pyramid implodes. (They probably won't take financial damage though, as they're likely to sell near the peak.)
JWST Forward and Aft Sunshield Pallet Deployed
I live in the Twin Cities, but moved there from Detroit over twenty years ago when a Minnesota-based company bought the company where I was a contract developer and offered me a permanent position if I relocated (which they completely expensed). The company also agreed to fly me out for a weekend to visit the Twin Cities. I visited the downtown and Uptown and knew I would love living there. And I still love it here almost 25 years later. (I did live in the SF Bay Area from early 2016 to late 2018 then moved back to the T.C.)

I just wish I could get some decent coney dogs or Buddy's Pizza out here. (No I haven't been to Uncle Frankie's yet)

Going back to mason's point though the size of Greater Detroit metropolitan area is hugely underestimated. And not tapping into that area for market or talent opportunities (or delicious Coney dogs) is an unfortunate mistake.
"x64" is an Intel-ism, because they like to imagine a world where there's nothing but x86. But "x64" is wrong.

Yes.

> Adds color

Dude. Sometimes is also a qualifier. It's right there in my original quote. WTF is this conversation even about anymore?

This is getting unbelievably pedantic.

Look, it's a thing at the 3 institutions I advise for their CS faculty to make below-market wages and for their graduates to make above-average wages. I think this pattern of facts is uniquely common at lower tier LACs with CS PhD on faculty. Those institutions pay uniquely low rates for CS faculty, but the value of LAC-style 1:1 mentorship from a CS PhD is enormous and consistently results in better than average placements.

I didn't claim this is the base case. I used conditioning words. Sometimes. Up to. From first post on-wards.

you can call me a liar. Whatever. This is real phenomenon. These situations exist. You've even conceded my fundamental point about this subset of CS PhDs AFAICT: that the jobs are plentiful and not particularly attractive.

Next, you claimed Stanford MBAs make more than Stanford CS PhDs because some Stanford CS PhDs choose academia (and, yes, the Stanford CS PhDs who choose industry make more than their MBA counter-parts; go look at levels.fyi). That's all fine and well. Probably true. here's the thing, though. My top-most post in this thread explicitly preconditioned this branch of the conversation on "CS PhDs who choose industry". So at this point I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make. Clearly, we're so far down-thread that the plot is completely lost.

The pedantry is trying my patience. Go back and read my original post. Is there any aspect of that basic thesis that you actually disagree with in a substantive way?
Dunno, but I wanna meet one white person in SF who has ever though about this.
If a user uses a UI wrong will they potentially make harmful medical decisions?

Clearly a different outcome.

At least in my previous jobs, maintaining the artifactory instance included maintaining package integrity in the repositories. Answering questions about shadowing in Java, unpublishing in Node, upstream timelines for patched debs, and tracking deprecation was part of that the job - and the teams worked to make machines do as much of that job as possible.

Packages bootstrap filesystems for installations. We’ve parted out system administration at scale - multiple paths you can take.
