Hot take: Corporations are also amazing. James Webb mirrors? Made by a private big corp (Ball Aerospace). So are all instruments of James Webb. NASA contracts out their work to many big fat corporations. Semiconductors to hearing aids, Corporations make the world tick. They’re absolutely incredible. When people get together, they can build stuff like rockets and vaccines.

Capitalism makes all of this happen. So the attack on capitalism is so deeply deluded, it’s strange to see it in a tech crowd who know better. Hell, your salary probably comes from “Corporations”. When you’re in the hospital, note all the corporations doing evil things to save your life.

Though now I'm curious if there was a difference between the different procedures, and if it holds up across cities. Probably most importantly, did any particular surgeon skew the number?

My email transfers regularly take 30-45 minutes and cost 1.00

My lightning transfers take 1 second and cost less than 1 penny.

How can the cost of the transfer be less than the cost of the energy it is claimed it uses? I could never figure thst out.
I assume good intent: that's encountering why someone who'd make people uncomfortable with openly expressed ill-intent is so messed up...

By the way, you should let HR know about your helpful intent to shield the company. They should have a wonderful commendation for you, and some COBRA paperwork to go with it.
I would say something like:

Wow, actually that feedback is quite surprising to me. I’ve been working hard on the project, and all the feedback I’ve gotten until now is that it was coming along nicely. A lot of the design decisions you pointed out were direct suggestions from (manager) and I thought I was doing a good job by implementing them thoroughly. Maybe we should have this meeting again with all of us in the room?
Ask HN: Any good resources for how to structure (technical) onboarding docs?
This boss telling you that they felt the project should have been done a long time ago: I wonder who that comment benefits? Feels like no one. You get bummed, they give late feedback without a lot of constructive aspects to it.

I am trying to think of one way it was useful to tell you that, but I can’t.

Seems like you should feel justified in not being a fan of working under this person. What you do with that is hard to say. Sounds like you got to work on a cool project and got to mostly solo it. That’s pretty great for a junior.
People working two jobs, having to juggle a family, don't have time for all of these luxury processes. Kudos to you that you are affluent. But this conversation isn't obviously about people at your level.
In the 1960's my dad programmed Jotto (a simpler five letter secret word game) on Kodak's computers. Entropy became the first interesting mathematical concept that I learned.

Log base 2 of the remaining words is a measure of how many yes/no questions it would take to identify the word. An entropy strategy looks for a clue word that minimizes the expected value of this measure. One optimizes sum p log p over the pile sizes.

Pure mathematicians prefer certain concepts with a religious fervor. Often this has been informed by a reasonable number of problems where a concept has been proven optimal. The best applied mathematicians understand pure math but prefer practical work. To a pure mathematician, the rest are just guessing.

Here, one needs a clearly stated objective function for measuring success. Entropy strategies are often optimal for simple objective functions.

A critical detail for this game: The secret words come from a shorter list than the valid guess words. One wants a guess word that best partitions the shorter list of secret word candidates, not the full list of valid guess words.
Split keyboards have done wonders for me. But a different keyboard alone won't solve the strain problems. A combination of using an ergonomic typing device, exercise, regular breaks and time off the keyboard are essential.

When you already feel the strain it's high time to do something against it, damage might already be done. Carpal tunnel or other inflammations are really painful and can take months to recover, during which your productivity will be quite low. Better to type only 40,000 characters a week and give your hands some rest, than squeeze 50,000 out of them until the damage is done.
>faculty member dying of Covid and not being able to find a replacement or sub?

Hasn't happened, and the numbers show that would be rare.

>Is your position that no one has been quarantined who legitimately needed to be? Or hospitalized? Or died? Or retired? It's 100% people who aren't sick being quarantined, and that's why schools don't have enough faculty and staff?

Nope, didn't say that. Strawman.

>Do you think it's unreasonable for such people to not want to subject themselves to a school environment at this time?

Maybe they should focus on why they're only able to get old immuno-compromised individuals to substitute.

>I don't see how lifting quarantine requirements and testing less makes things better for teachers.

By allowing staff that's not actually sick to teach, therefore you're not loading extra burden on fewer teachers. By also allowing students in the classroom, lessening the need to make lessons for quarantined individuals.

>I don't see how lifting quarantine requirements and testing less makes things better for teachers.

School isn't for teachers, it's for educating kids to be productive members of society. Any teacher worth their salt knows this.

>They are ostensibly front-line essential workers

You're right, so they need to start acting like it instead of following the lead of their unions (e.g. Chicago) and completely shutting down the system for what's essentially a cold at this point. I don't see nurses, emt's, or firefighters doing these things.

The entire problem here is that you're basing your stance off of false assumptions. COVID has never been an issue in schools because children do not contract it at a high rate and they do not spread it at a high rate. So, going to remote learning was never a good solution to begin with. You know what the biggest burden my wife had was during all of this? Creating multiple lesson plans to try and teach to remote kids who were sitting in their rooms pretending to pay attention in Google Classroom while actually playing video games not giving a shit about school for a year. She 100% would have preferred being in person and reiterated that daily to me.
I don't think it's unrealistic to think that at some point in the near future that ordinary people in the third-world will be using crypto for their every day transactions. Crypto is going through a massive maturity phase right now. I'm certainly not blind to the massive problems with crypto right now, but seeing chains such as Algo that are actively seeking to be both low cost and carbon neutral gives me great hope.
Paxos has a reputation of being hard to understand. I was under the impression that Raft was now preferred for distributed consensus. The creators of the Raft algorithm explicitly had understandability as a goal when designing it and called out Paxos as being hard to understand.

The first meeting where your manager just abandoned you and you ended up talking to your manager's boss is totally inappropriate. Being so new to the job basically all the responsibility is with your direct manager and her boss is wrong to dump on you without your manager present.

I'd give it another chance though, sounds like the work is fun and maybe you can communicate your concerns to your direct manager.
The museum is, but the online resources are still up. Some of the machines are running on emulators - I remember the CDC 6500 chiller died sometime in the first year of the pandemic and the machine had to be turned off until repaired.

I hope it gets enough funding to reopen after the apocalypse is over.

In any case, this guide is wonderful for using Hercules with VM/370 and MVS 3.8j.
> in order to circumvent the laws of society

You have embedded your conclusion in your premise. "Doing [x] 'in order to break the law' is illicit." is true for any activity [x].

> Cryptocurrency was designed to disrupt laws (and has been used, see selling drugs on crypto, ransomware), so it must also be considered unlawful.

1. We don't really know the intentions of the people who invented the first cryptocurrencies. Their stated intent was not for illicit uses.

2. Human intent doesn't transfer through technology to other people via the transitive property through use of a technology.
Thank you for your thoughts - I agree it sounds like allergies, and I know the previous owners had a dog so I'd thought of getting new carpets, but perhaps just getting rid completely is the answer. We'll try and get in touch with an allergist too :)

A related problem is that seeds for next year's crop has gone up a lot also.

For example, last year peas for seed were about $8 per bushel. Now, $25 per bushel.

So both fertilizer and seed costs have increased; which changes the calculus of how many acres the farmer can afford to plant.
Depends. Some gold seller used to advertise that in 1400 AD an ounce of gold would buy two good suits, and today it will buy about two good suits.

My girlfriend was diagnosed with autism 3 weeks ago and we had a related conversation just today. She said she feels more open-minded / less biased than other people. I thought it was because her different experiences were invalidated by society throughout her life. But this makes it sound like there's more to it. Very interesting.
Oops. Meant 2022.
In using crypto, you are exporting the wealth of your country to those miners in other countries through transaction fees. The more you use it, the more of your country's wealth is exported (which in turn means that the country's currency is worth less and accelerates the inflation that is experienced).
I'm not aware of all the customs details in Mercosur but if it is like EU then I would just spend all crypto in Paraguay and then bring gold or whatever back through without customs on other side. Lots of commodities that are high density you can carry on your person and fit a decade of Argentina wages on your person in a single <$100 bus ride.

FTFY

It's slower at learning basics, slower at learning new tasks, makes silly mistakes often, but it's growing at a speed much faster than biological evolution. And when there is extensive data it surpasses humans.
This both brings back my past and a future project I have waiting for me.

The discipline of dealing with other people's systems is a great learning point.

The last person I integrated with was totally bemused by my huge list of questions. They always seem to assume that the way their system exports orders is the norm!

A:"When do you export orders, as soon as they are placed or on some schedule?"

B:"As soon as they are placed".

Some time later in the conversation...

B:"You needn't run it that early, we don't export orders until after 7.30am".

You really can't trust anything in EDI until you have seen the orders!
Ask HN: HN Dads join me in the Hacker Kids Race to $50K/year
Hey HN!

The race to $50k/year is on :) My wife wants to train my son to get a High School diploma and I want to get him either working for himself or a company making $50k/year. He get's to be independent when he achieves either one of these :) I am pulling for the $50K/yr and figured I would engage the giant amazing HN collective brain for this challenge :)

My 14 year old son loves coding, making Roblox games, creating Youtube movies and I said let's set a goal, when you get to $50k/year you can move out/be independent/don't have to homeschool anymore! He said LET'S DO THIS DAD!!! :P LOL!

HN Dads: If you are interested I would love to partner up to help ALL our kids get to $50k/yr and be independent, I know we can do this! This is just an idea right now and I will be stumbling my way through it but would love your thoughts, ideas, help?

I have started teaching him about First Principles and also reached out to Roblox asking them what HARD problems they are trying to solve as well as any missing GAPS in talent/content/etc.

Interested in joining up and helping kids everywhere? Feel free to email me at titus@jesuswantsyou.org and/or post your thoughts, advice, below.

Please keep comments clean, constructive and kind, my son will be reading them :)

Thanks and God Bless,

Titus
It’s not fair to say that crypto is not solving any problems, or isn’t likely to solve any problems.

Thinking specifically about the identity space for a moment, it certainly brings a new approach to solving a set of problems that still has yet to be solved well.

Should something be banned on the grounds that it’s not ready yet, or hasn’t evolved fast enough?

Plenty of tech on the cutting edge will appear this way before it has matured.
It’s the stupid term AI that ruined everything. Our predecessors had enough intelligence, ironically, to call spellcheck what it is. Today it would be AI.
This was not a law. It was a consent decree which only applied to certain studios.

Local mesh networks are way easier to hide than Starlink transmitters.

All Russia would have to do is fly one of their AWACS over a city and they could make a list of all the active Starlink transmitters, and get them arrested.
People here have been burnt by bad managers and it's honestly sad. If you have a personal relationship with your manager beyond emails and "how was your weekend", there's a good chance they will appreciate your longer notice (not 10 months!) and you'll keep them on your side for the rest of your career. I gave a 2-months notice once, and my manager's manager even helped me find my next role at a different company (which I ended up taking instead of an offer from Facebook).

I can't remember which company it was, but some startup CEO posted on Hacker News a few months ago that they have a proper procedure for "long notices" where they help employees, even if they decide to stay at the end of it. That should be the goal in my opinion.

P.S.: Yes, it can be more tricky in large corporations where the manager isn't independent and their manager is vindictive.
It's not really US-centric, although it is an assumption. At least a large fraction of jurisdictions require reporting of this, and may also require it for transfers, FX etc.

It's probably a reasonable assumption that a significant amount (majority?) of blockchain activity is breaking tax and reporting laws somewhere, albeit some of it a mostly technology-outpacing-legislation way rather than intentional.

> it's impossible to tell at the point of receipt (when it's still in Twilio's network) whether it's spam or not before forwarding it on.

That OP mentioning "reprogramming the system so it doesn't forward messages" makes me think that they are receiving the incoming messages programmatically via webhook and then using Twilio API to send a new message with same text to new number (their employee).

In such a case, they do have a point in the process where they can implement some kind of filtering or processing (maybe stripping or obfuscating URLs?)
If you are writing code every day, it works, and your peers (not your manager) are using it to meet deadlines and ship more working code, don't listen to your manager. If your code has observations and design issues it shouldn't get merged unless everyone is ok with the tradeoffs, if it's being merged and people are not ok and you are junior developer, it's your managers fault and you probably need better process in the company as a whole.

But seriously if you are writing rust code every day and it works and none of your peers is visibly complaining to you, you are probably doing right and your manager is just not doing their job at filtering high frequency nonsense from chattering at the management level.
It happens. Learn and move on.

Also, see if you can chat with the boss to clarify their expectations for you.

In the future, don't linger on a projects, no matter how fun you find it. The main principle should be "get it done." That's industry for you.
This is quite inconsistent. so the emperor has no clothes. If fiat cannot survive in the presence of cryptocurrency, it is not cryptocurrency that is sabotaging anything. Either it can exist with it, or it will die by its own death. The irony of course is that I have been saying cryptocurrency is voluntary; and you have been saying fiat only is mandatory.

Who’s pushing their authoritarian agenda now.
Doing it in a truly decentralized way with consensus from the community on how to do that on a chain already in motion is no easy task I guess. Vitalik has showed a slide from many years ago with his way too optimistic dates for when proof of stake would be here.
Regarding the haircut thing: that's actually a myth:
https://youtu.be/2BO83Ig-E8E

Unfortunately it's myths like this that are shown as evidence of the /entire/ narrative around NK being false, by those who treat NK as a socialist paradise. There is a lot of poor journalism on the topic (see: myth that NK claimed to fire a rocket into the sun, myth that NK claimed to have found a unicorn, claims that KJU doesn't poop, etc) and as such it's easy to simply say that it's all made up.

Certainly not justifying those arguments at all; this just shows how easy it is for the less-critical on any side of an issue to believe whatever they want because of a few counterexamples.
This was written by a woman.
The one time I ran into a scenario like this it was an upper level executive looking to flex and show that they are the alpha. My manager and manager’s manager stayed after the meeting to tell him that my project met the specs perfectly. Later on I found out that every person who had been in the department over a year had gone through that exact scenario. I kept on working and ultimately it was fine, but the department had a lot of churn with people mentioning this practice in their exit interviews, end result was him getting promoted even higher.

> The thing with engineering is you try to optimize your choice using math and science as much as possible. In software no such optimization procedure exists.

It's comparatively easy to optimize something with an absolute answer. Ex: will this building fall down with x design?

It's practically impossible to optimize something like: will our software development process allow us to deliver new functionality faster and win market share?

There is far more ambiguity in software development than in other fields.

> QWERTY has a steep learning curve as well, it’s just that it’s so ubiquitous that most people don’t question or remember the work that was put into.

This assertion ignores crucial differences in the basic mechanics of typing in a standard QWERTY keyboard (i.e., look at the keyboard, press one key, get the desired character) and using a stenograph/chorded keyboard. A standard keyboard's discoverability makes it incomparably easier to ramp up than guessing which key combos get you a specific character combo/word.

ABSTRACT:

(PCA) program. The compiler is targeted at the problem of mapping embedded signal/knowledge processing applications with high performance needs, as exemplified by the Lincoln Labs Integrated Radar Tracker (IRT) reference, to both polymorphous and commercial streaming hardware platforms. These polymorphous streaming architectures are exemplified by TRIPS (University of Texas) and MONARCH (ISI/Raytheon) projects. Other emerging commercial multi-core chips, such as IBM's Cell, are also instances of on-chip distributed memory multiprocessors that require explicit communication between tiled computation kernels. The Morphware Forum is an initiative under the PCA program to develop standard mechanisms and tools for the programming of PCAs. Within this framework, R-Stream

The internet is a big change. Cryptocurrency is not on the same scale. But I would be inclined to agree that the impact of even computers and internet on the recognizability of everyday life is less than that of eg. telephony and airplanes.
