That's a very narrow definition of an illicit transaction. I mean you seem to ignore simple facts like how ownership alone can dictate if a transaction is illicit.

Bit hard to tell me your not sending money to foreign nation States or supporting terrorism if you can't prove you know the identity of owners of the accounts your transacting with.

Uber made the smart choice. They can always buy back into autonomous vehicles when a company comes up with an autonomous vehicle the works well in all weather conditions. All they have to do is buy them and add them to their fleet and combine with their current app infrastructure.
I always give 2 weeks notice before quitting and make the transition as easy as possible, doing handoff meetings and educating whoever's taking over.

In exchange, I usually get shafted by the employer. In one case they tried to claw back a signing bonus (despite the employment agreement etc not giving them the right to do it - nice) and in another case the abusive studio head walked over and told me to take my shit and leave immediately despite the fact that I was a producer in charge of an entire team and hadn't done any handoff (shocking no one, the latter studio ended up shipping their product 4+ years behind schedule)

So I guess my takeaway is that it's still valuable to be nice if you care about the impact on your teammates, but I don't think your boss deserves it. Especially now when many companies have a policy of not providing references beyond 'yes i can confirm that so-and-so worked here' - the concept of 'burning your bridges' by not being sufficiently deferential to your awful boss doesn't exist.
Is that somehow different from dashcams, security cams, doorbell cams etc. which are also already recording you? At least when the cameras on someone's glasses you can tell if they're looking at you or elsewhere.

I don't think it's bad for 'competitive' typing but it's nothing like the real process where fixing mistakes at the end is almost a triviality instead of completely derailing your typing.
Not an expert, just a gardener. Short answer: just letting leaves fall on your lawn for a period of time is unlikely to provide fertilization, in fact it may hurt your lawn, because the leaves will not break down fast enough and will instead cut off your lawn's access to air and sunlight.

Long answer: You need to break down the organic matter in the leaves through composting. To speed up composting you want the right proportions of both brown (carbon - your leaves) and green (nitrogen) matter, the right moisture levels, and access to oxygen, usually in a large pile to create the perfect environment for the microorganisms that break down the matter. Your leaves are a great base for your compost, I always use mine, but you will probably need to put a little sweat equity into it, as well as kitchen scraps, lawn cuttings, etc. to get the right proportion of greens.
Okay tone police.
> Instead of typing h e l l o, a chorded typer mashes h, e, l, and o to produce the word.

So, no, it won't be typing "cadddr" for you in your Lisp code when you mash c, a, d, r. Probably, "card".

Of course it's banned from typing competitions; you're not actually typing the word; the algorithm is.

From the contest's point of view, it's morally equivalent to a regular QWERTY keyboard equipped with firmware that corrects typos.

This is a strange one. I'd cancel the cheaper one because it'll be easier to go on that cheaper trip at a later date than the more expensive one.

Well, CharaChorder won't exactly help with that...
This. I've slung code in (now) 16 different languages from macros, to scripting to compiled over the last mumbleseveraldecadesmumble. But they throw btree sort hackerrank puzzles at me when I've been a working sysadmin for over 20 years, and never had algorithm courses for a BS degree? How about no. If I have to sort stuff, I use a built in function, and let the CS hardcore software engineers do the puzzle games.

I'm a script hack and sysadmin/SRE, not a software puzzle guru. I look up the syntax I need for the language I'm writing today. I may end up programming a different language next week, month or year. It's not worth the trouble memorizing the triviata of every language I ever used.

There are only so many ways to cast variables and write loops. Everything else is nomenclature and punctuation.

Ask me to address a system problem, don't give me a BS puzzle.
> vaccine mandates were still in effect at that point, they'd say that was insane too.

No, that one is particularly weird right now. Vaccines are essentially mandated for many parts of life, and have been for my entire life. At multiple points throughout my development I've had to get required vaccines to do things. I had never even heard of antivaxxers until my late 20s. They used to be laughed at as an insane fringe group on HN.

Nobody in 2011 would have thought it was weird that vaccines would be mandated. I suspect if I predicted on HN that there would be strong resistance to a vaccine in the event of a global pandemic people would have laughed at me as ridiculous.

People don't like vaccines because they don't like the reality we're in and they strangely think resisting wearing masks and resisting vaccines somehow makes it less real. Unfortunately it has made things much worse.

There is basically consensus that fluoride in the drinking water is good for teeth. The worry is that consuming it may have other negative effects unrelated to teeth. We know that fluoride in higher dosage isn't good to be consumed, but what about long term, small dosage exposure?

Good work to those who wrote it.
If you have a better contract in hand then yes you should probably quit.
With that being said however if you leave on bad terms and your next job asks to contact the manager from your previous job the would probably say that you left on bad terms and might ruin your reputation.

Annecdotal evidence, but an acquintance of mine (who is an MD) encountered Cuban "doctors" in South America and wasn't impressed at all.

> I even remember seeing this mentioned in the newspaper at the beginning of the pandemic.

The thing is that Cuba made a lot of claims about their handling of the pandemic, but as with every communist country out there it's hard to really know what's really going on.
> I was thinking about what happens when a user clicks on a feed - it's not very user friendly, especially now that browsers just show the XML file content. If we had a mechanism that wraps that request and gives the user a way to subscribe directly via one of the many available feed reader, that would help a lot.

I agree. But I'm also willing to think that a simple button to copy the feed URL would suffice. Since feed URLs can be read by all kinds of reader software (and you don't know upfront which ones, definitely way too many possibilities) there's no way as a subscriber to go from a website with a feed link to your reader app without just copying that link somehow. It's too much baked in to the protocol to do it otherwise, I guess.
Beej's guides are amazing with a memorable and entertaining writing style. I remember reading his network guide almost two decades ago when I was a kid, had just heard of this thing called a socket, but the only connotation I had for one at the time was a wall socket. His guide helped me understand networking but more importantly it made it a fun experience for a programmer just starting out.

I know what you mean by "mild autism" but an article [1] that was recently discussed here [2] explains that "mild" vs. (say) "severe" does not quite capture the nuance of the condition. Just pointing it out here because I found it interesting.

Actually that story was really funny, the AI constantly kept having my character have this irrational hatred of kobolds, like "they're pests to be exterminated" even though I included descriptions of their vibrant art and tapestries and language and culture. Which was funny because it was a story about traveling with an intelligent slime buddy who all the humans thought was a "monster to be exterminated". I was ultimately planning on having us escape to the monster kingdom where we learned that not all monsters are evil, and find a bunch of friendly kobolds, but I never got that far before the site went to shit.

A request from a random HNer – could you also commit to observing what the user's interactions with your customer service have been so far; and improving each of those, instead of nebulously "escalating" (where people will unblock an account because the CEO mandated it from up on high)?

Otherwise, you are contributing to a pattern where HN becomes de facto Tier 1 Customer Service, similar to how Twitter was a few years ago. This is already the case for various Google services [1], but I would hope that we don't want to normalize it for every service.

Talk to your manager. If you don't have 1:1s, ask to have routine meetings. If your manager can't help you, alleviate your stress, or guide you forward, look for a new job.

It's hard to really say anecdotally if things were fair or unfair, but your manager's job is to help you (and selfishly, for you, they should help you grow in your career).
Shrug it off and keep your head down. Keep on producing good work. Your manager should of deflected this sort of stuff and you are a junior developer. The responsibility doesn't really fall on you.

Take some notes about what you can do better on future projects and try and improve. Rinse and repeat.

Gj on delivering.
One of the things I've come to enjoy about becoming a more senior engineer is how the interview flow has changed over time. Now that I've interviewed lots of people myself, I understand the person on the other side of the desk a lot better and I feel it's a far more balanced relationship.

The issues that candidate employers are concerned about are (should be) more along higher level constructs such as ensuring quality or how to decide on a new technology or platform. What's a really interesting bug you found -- where really interesting probably means it was a system level issue, not just some bad code.

The interview becomes a detailed discussion between peers who are each trying to understand if they want to work with the other.

If someone started out with leetcode crap I'd probably react exactly as you did.

See "What Colour are your bits?" https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23

Essentially this is the "nonsense conclusions" described there, but in inverse. If you're not interested in those images and don't even know specifically how to decode them, then legally you're probably not in possession of them just as I'm not worried about accidentally generating something illegal in some encoding or other by running my random number generator. And nor is any prosecutor going to care.
No. A lot of people just passionately hate bitcoin, for rational reasons. It's not concerted. The government isn't sending people to HN to dissuade you from buying Bitcoin. If the powers that be wanted to shut down bitcoin, all they'd have to do is come together, agree to seize all mining equipment, and do a 51% attack together to fill the Blockchain with trash. Maybe also run some stings on BTC exchanges. They don't need to convince you not to use it.
The pandemic has taught me how little people care about words;

"Asymptomatic" now means "just a low grade fever", or "a cough that didn't take me to the hospital"

"Allergies" now means "I can barely breathe no matter what environment and I'm tired like I'm taking Claritin, just ignore the color of my sputum or my cough."

"It's just the cold or flu" now means "I'm just sick for a week, and I should definitely socialize like normal"

theoretically possible

zkSync says they don't have their test net for smart contracts up yet.
StarkNet is in alpha.

For this problem, it's OK if change commit verification takes a while, as long as it's cheap. If you move your no-copy NFT from grid A to grid B, grid B can verify that you own it, even though the current state is on grid A, and let you show it on grid B. A slow check later by each grid can prevent persistent dual copies. It's like catching double spends later. It's consistent eventually.

This is one of the things NFT proponents talk about - being able to move your truly-owned asset from one grid to another. However, so far there seem to be zero implementations. NFT land is tied up with make-money-fast right now. Potentially useful low-cost applications aren't getting done.
This is interesting to me not because of the typing speed but because of something almost everyone will find weird: As a developer I'm not a fan of typing due to health reasons.

The long story: I have an undiagnosed disease/syndrome which, among other things, makes my fingertips become red and cold during winter season, and it gets worse when I'm typing. So in the summer I can pretty much type all day. It's not that my hands don't get cold while playing video games on my Playstation controller, they just get worst. I assume that the impact on every finger makes it worse, because I can wear all the layers of cloth in the house + have the air condition turned on and all I can get is my face and ears all red, but the fingers still cold as ice cubes.

From my standpoint, I see the potential use as an accessibility tool. If I can write words and avoid the step where my fingers suffer the impact of every keypress that's a big win for me. It's not like I can't type (obviously) but I'm wondering if I could train myself to code using something like this to avoid discomfort. I once entertained the idea of using my PS4 controller since Steam uses something similar.
Can you tell me more? What things would you filter on?

I don't really know how people get past 120-130wpm with sustained accuracy.

Speaking as someone who can type in the 130-140 range and has gone over 200 in short bursts --- the keyboard makes a huge difference. Look for one with a low actuation force, short distance-to-actuation, and a "bouncy" feeling that helps your fingers return. I'm using a cheap no-name rubber-dome keyboard, but it's definitely on the softer side compared to most others I've used.

Unfortunately, the only searches on Google for its model number (KM-2601P) are the posts here where I've mentioned it on other keyboarding articles: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24761580 (Don't you find it disturbing that a keyboard which was probably manufactured in the millions of units has literally only one person on the whole Internet mentioning it!?)

I also have a mechanical keyboard with clicky Blue Alps switches, which is impressively loud and satisfying to type on, but reaching 120 on that one is far more difficult; and I've also typed on a Thinkpad (pre-island style) keyboard, which has been praised as one of the best laptop keyboards, but maintaining even 100 on that one is very tiring --- it has far too much actuation pressure.
I dont think this would apply to coal. There are organisms that can use the wood that would otherwise need to fossilize to create coal. These organisms did not exist the first time round.
Assuming they could afford to do so, is it not possible to buy an artificial heart and schedule surgery? A quick online search shows there definitely are companies that make artificial hearts even if only to bridge the gap till a donor is found.
Obviously it doesn't guarantee the cancer hasn't spread, there won't be potential complications during surgery, or any other complications down the road... but there can't just flat out be zero options, right? I know certain organs just can't be replaced, but the heart? There's really no mechanical alternatives?

Do we know this? I don't think OP has clarified - they just said it goes to an "employee's phone number", which makes me assume it goes out to their personal phone number which is probably not on Twilio.

I stand corrected regarding your account. The protest have started due to increase in natural gas prices (not the gasoline), but the root cause is not the price but income inequality. In any case, it has no (even not a remote) connection to the bitcoin network and its energy consumption, nor to coal plants.

My comment was an urge to stay civil and prevent any rush excitement regarding the Bitcoin's crisis without knowing the whole picture. Specifically to counter the comments of "Let's hope they stay shut off then."

PS. Yes my account is green: I have registered today once I saw this discussion, but believe me it is not a throwaway.
I think the assumption is getting fired instantly from a toxic organization is probably a good thing. The problem is that a high likelihood of a better outcome (as opposed to ending up living in your car), still isn't a guarantee.

The most risk-averse strategy should still use some of the advice posted here, but concerns like minimizing other people's problems and your own guilt are not worth the dangers.
