I wonder where are all the jobs are for a device driver engineer. The company recently changed my job title from a generic name (Network software eng) to what I actually do.

That still doesn't fix the fact that it relies on network broadcasts for many core functionality (app discovery of the hub, etc). Putting your IoT devices on their own VLAN sounds like a good idea, but they usually aren't designed to work in that sort of situation and you're likely to create a bunch of usability and management problems that won't be solved with firewall rules.

Ask HN: How do you backup your personal data? (2022)
How do you go about backing up your documents and media across all your devices? It would be great if you can describe your end-to-end workflow.

* What backup tools and services do you use?

* Where are your backups stored?

* How does your backup workflow deal with multiple devices, especially phones?

* How much does the setup cost you?

Thanks.
The only context provided is a link to a product they’re selling and a plea to purchase it (“If you’d like to support my work…”)

They are not asking him for a refund, they are informing him of a chargeback. That's a fundamental difference.

Have you considered the possibility that you are ignorant of just how stupid and parasitic this entire system is?
This is an excellent article by someone who has a deep and wide understanding of physics and with this broad knowledge can flit to a seemingly separate or unrelated parts of the subject to draw on analogies and or show that the phenomena are related or have something in common.

Jim Pivarsky also has the nack of integrating these disparate ideas together in ways that's easy to understand and it puts him in a class above most other writers on physics that I've read recently.

When you've read Viruses have no color it's well worth reading some of the other articles on his website.

Of course they can ask. They can even threaten to garnish your earnings through them, or stop you working in the platform but that only works if you agree. You don't have to work for them to pay off this "debt".

Put your tools down. You're not indentured. Don't work for nothing.

The dispute is between them, their customer and a bank. The actions they're taking are just the easiest for them. In their eyes, you have a livelihood on the line. Of course your going to buckle first.

Short of actual legal action, you could contact all your long term clients and tell them to seek alternative escrow arrangements if they want to keep working with you. That'll likely get you banned from Upwork, but freedom has value.
I know it’s in vogue to claim that grad students have shit benefits because they are paid terribly, but I do have to push back on that.

For one, the main benefit of a funded Ph.D. is that you don’t pay tuition. That’s a huge benefit that can total $40k or more per year before candidacy.

Secondly, you (should) get to travel and present your research around the world for free. During my Ph.D. I got to present our work in Portugal, Chicago, and Japan, all expenses paid. That’s not nothing for a young aspiring researcher, and not something my friends in industry got to do at 24.

Also, one thing that a lot of people don't know is that grad students in the USA don't have to pay FICA taxes on their stipends or their tuition remission. That also has to be figured in when comparing compensation.

> The anti-vax movement isn't just right-wing. Blacks are the most under-vaccinated demographic.

I’d resist extrapolating too much from that. “hasn’t got a vaccine” doesn’t equal “is anti-vax”. There are still issues with accessibility of the vaccine (varying wildly according to location) and those with lower incomes working hourly-paid jobs are concerned about having to take time off to both get the vaccine (two doses) and deal with the side effects.

That’s not to say no black people are anti-vax, there’s a strong distrust of the medical establishment by many (given the history it’s understandable!) but just pointing out that it’s not a 1:1 relationship.
Nice, I'll reach out to you.

Great insight into the use cases for Temin depending on the I/O. It took me using a desktop and VR headset to form the same opinions. Initially I thought my VR usage would be higher, but it's below 1% of the total time I spend inside Temin. VR is also pretty good for presenting/telepresence.

Mixed reality excites me way more than VR, so I'm keen to skate more towards that technology long-term.

I'm puzzled by this. It seems obvious that Robin committed some kind of fraud against Upwork by using someone else's credit card. Upwork should be asking him to pay his debt, not OP who (says he) didn't breach his contract. Is it Upwork becoming big enough that it can start to bully people around and make extortionate demands knowing that it will be hard to refuse ?
I may be too late to get an answer, but are there decent alternatives to upwork? I'm not looking to avoid sharing profit and direct cooperation. I like the idea of it. I'm just looking for something done better.
Sadly, it is true. I had it on my local bank app. It is annoying, but the future is for everyone to see. I am only able to vote with my feet and go to the branch in person.

Let's be realistic here. The real competition to Microsoft, Chrome OS, already has a feature to prevent you from delaying updates. It's not a bug or a risk, it's a feature. And it does not require any sort of TPM to be enforced. Microsoft could force all its users to run the latest version, and to run only signed executables today. What Pluton does is it allows those two things to happen more securely.
I can understand Signal implementing something simple like stories that a lot of younger users might want. But payments that require the use of a crypto exchange? Who is the target audience for this? Why wouldn’t I just send a crypto of my choice directly off of signal? The whole point of the in app integration is to make it easy, the exchange completely makes this hard to do
Look at Google safety net and you will get a clear idea what is happening. If you want to use some streaming apps, etc they will make sure you run an unmodified and up to date OS.

On a side note: Microsoft already starts patronising users e.g. by blocking access to security tokens from nonelevated processes. I hate it when my os starts messing with my freedom to develop sth on top. It all comes in the name of security but will in the end effect freedom.

You add more physical parameters. Climate models are not parameter fitting from the past data, they are physical models. Of course you test them with old data too, but they are mainly for verification and controlling for variables that are still missing.

They test these models with other planets too. Set in parameters for Mars or Venus and they precinct pretty well how those climates behave.

By running own servers, do you mean the hardware, or would using something like a linode count? So I use linode to host a mattermost instance, and its been mostly a trouble free experience, and I enjoy tinkering around in linux anyway. But most people aren't like that, I admit. And I don't even own the hardware; that's a whole other level of responsibility that I don't particularly want. And the $7/mo I spend on my linode is basically two cups of Pike's.

Windows is a powerful operating system; but my experience has been that non tech-saavy people repeatedly run into obstacles using it, or end up with malware installed, etc. That's why the walled gardens of iOS and Android have been so successful. Relatively safe (yes, I know, but still), and largely intuitive. Grandpa can use it.

So, if we want wide adoption of people "running their own servers", then it needs to follow the UX and security-managed approach of mobile OSs. Walled garden server software; limited options, user-friendly UX for non-professionals. Well, in some ways, the SaaS cloud approach solves this, right? You just need user-friendly apps--probably mobile first--to interface them, and designed with the non-tech savvy consumer in mind.
Looks really nice. I wish it handled yaml as well.
> Show me the value, where's the ??? value!

What are the killer apps that are built on top of the web3 stack? Most I saw are not very killer... Or decentralized. I would expect, if this all is great as they say, that people tell me 'oh, you are using platform X?? Did you know that's fully web3?'. I tried things and they all are... not good... expensive or obvious money grabs. And when I ask around, even though 'entire twitter' seems to be building web3 apps, people only send the same ones; how can that be? Maybe it's my echo chamber; I don't follow many blockchain things.
There's nothing to disrupt. Anyone who wants to pay more initially and get cheaper ink/toner can do so. Most home users just go look for a super-cheap printer with a good name and buy it. They don't even do proper review checking.

And if you hate the price of ink cartridges, but still don't want toner, there are multiple printers from at least 2 manufacturers on the market that have ink bottles that you refill reservoirs instead of having cartridges. Canon and Epson both make them, and there are probably others that I didn't find. I think "megatank" was the search I ended up with to find some.

Sure, a few years back maybe someone could have disrupted the market... But it's already been done by the incumbents.

Have to agree on the shutdown. It’s very easy to look back with 20:20 hindsight and say “duh, that was overkill”. But at the time we were sanitising every surface because we didn’t even know how COVID spread, much less exactly how dangerous it was. The shutdown was a panic move but the panic wasn’t unjustified at the time.

I will say, though, that the shutdown went on too long. It was originally sold as a stopgap to allow us to set up testing, track and trace infrastructure etc etc and the government by and large just… didn’t. So there was no clear path out of it.
Not ANY wrongdoing...

Despite Air Canada cancelling the flight (we didn't cancel our tickets), despite a public campaign waged to get them to refund passengers, despite the US Department of Transportation fining them $25 million (reduced to $2 million because US gov't), despite Air Canada changing their public website multiple times (I saved screenshots to include "we will fully refund") but then not actually allowing your ticket to be processed, despite me submitting DOZENS of responses to Chase for clarification on why all of this is wrong of Air Canada...

The reason they're not that popular in europe is differing attitudes to short term debt and the fact that the cap on interchange fees prevent many of the rewards schemes that US credit card companies use to incentivise credit card use from being profitable.

I don't think chargeback policies are a major influence either way.
I don't think I'd describe the black people who don't get vaccinated as "anti-vax". Black people have a well earned historical distrust of the medical community that's pretty much completely unrelated to the zeitgeist of the "anti-vax" movement.
I'm lumping both banks and the likes of Visa and Mastercard together, yes. Because that is collectively who is making the problem solely the merchant's problem, I assume deliberately. They all have cross-agreements, so they could make this better.

>if their chargeback rates are too high

I've paid a $25 chargeback fee for a $15 transaction. It's still bizarre to me that I pay them though. I'm already on the hook for the whole transaction amount, even after doing AVS, my own pre-shipment fraud checks , etc. And, if I shipped the item, I'm out that cost as well. It's just so asymmetrical.

>they've done basically nothing about card not present online transactions

That's my main point. And given that the merchants (often? usually?) eat the cost, they have no incentive to change that.

Edit: A couple of related anecdotes.

I had one customer who just happened to be in the same city file a chargeback for "item not received". The item in question was a custom item, described in the charge, and sitting in their shop window. I challenged the chargeback with a picture of said item, with the address/name of the business in the foreground. Still lost.

Another item the customer claimed it was broken in shipping and filed a chargeback for "item not as described". It was a fragile item that comes with chains to hang it, but the chains come in a little box...you attach them yourself. The customer's picture of the shipping damage showed the item shattered/broken, but with the chains attached. Who attaches chains to a shattered item? Lost that chargeback too.
So clients can read lines from a pipe as stdin.
> If you get sick, take care of it. If you don't, take care of those who do.

Hospitals were getting overwhelmed. So "taking care of it" for many was not as trivial as the usual flu. Consider that 40% of adults in the US are obese which is a complicating factor for unvaxed infection.
But he would have had the opportunity to manage the payment himself whether that be not accepting credits cards, using a payment processor with charge back insurance or at the very least trying to verify that the credit card actually belongs to the client. As far as I know he can't do any of these things because the client isn't paying him, they are paying upwork and upwork is paying him.
Debit cards are certainly the majority in my country. Banks offer subaccounts for people who reasonably don't want to connect their life savings to their payment card, or new vendors like revolut are popular for similar reasons.
I partially agree.

The other big thing that caused kids to go inside was fear of abduction. 24/7 cable news, starting in the 80s, was constantly stoking fear of this.

In the 80's I remember watching an Oprah (while sick at home, watching TV was the way to get well, because it I hated it so much) on Adam Walsh's murder. His body was found near were I lived a few years before. I believe this was the beginning of the "your kids will be kidnapped and murdered" hysteria.

Parents reacted to this pulling their kids closer to home and when video games became a thing, it wasn't even hard to keep them inside anymore. Now, with cell phones, the battle is completely lost. These devices give kids (and everyone that uses them) little squirts of pleasure all day long.

I've been an avid walker for 26 years. Not until the pandemic did I ever see people outside (kids or adults), except people walking a dog to let it crap somewhere. I guess that's one good side effect of it.

I didn't have Covid yet. At least as far as I know. I work in health IT and have been vaccinating and protecting myself according to the book. It works.
While I agree with the article, I have a different theory of why this image stayed so long: because everyone knows it. Seeing the results of a new algorithm on an image that you've seen 1000 times before immediately illustrates what happens.

So in my opinion, it can only be replaced by another image that is similarly popular. It won't retire before that.
The average person can barely setup a printer let alone worrying about pirating cartridges or doing some other workaround.
The fall of Usenet more and more looks like a mistake. I’d love to have hyper-localized newsgroups, in place of Facebook.

Often local stuff like: “Why does is smell like somethings on fire”, “Has the water been turned of” or is “Is soccer cancelled this week?” is only posted on Facebook. So if you don’t have Facebook, you can’t get those information. Then again the Facebook algorithm will hide it for three weeks before deciding that you need to know that the hot water will be turned of for quarter of the town at three o’clock.

I feel that Usenet would be ideal for this.
An IRC network can have thousands of channels; a discord server typically has dozens.

Think of a discord channel as a permanent thread or a topic and a discord server like an irc channel. I find discord's model more manageable than irc for a large number of users; irc channels become a mess around 50-100 active users. Dividing the conversations into topics helps a lot.

(I have been using irc since around 1994 and am still somewhat active.)
In times like these one wonders if ‘consent of the governed’ is meaningful at all.

That is, somebody ratified the constitution 200 years ago but nobody alive today has given their consent to it.

People today will wave the constitution around when their interpretation of it is compatible with what they want, but fundamentally most people today think it is good when their side wins and bad when the other side wins.

I think of the ending of The Parallax View where a politician is practicing empty platitudes in an empty conference hall until he gets shot and crashes through rows of tables in a out of control golf cart. People still say they like Schoolhouse Rock but from top to the bottom people are going through the motions in something they don’t believe in.
If the freelancer had taken a credit card directly, they would have been in the position to check with the card holder for proper authorisation beforehand, or to deny in case it looked shady.

Plus, the freelancer would be able to just sue the person they were working for directly, rather than having to sue Upwork, risking his ability to continue working there. If the freelancer didn't know client personally, it would have been impossible.

Back when people used checks, it was common for companies to either deny third-party checks or ask for the buyer sign the check over to someone else. This would put the buyer on the hook in case anything bad happened.

Marketplaces just removed all those protections that sellers could implement, while taking none of the risk.

Two reasons for schools to provide food:

- Students are generally compelled to be proximate to educational services for long stretches of time. Logistics of not coupling them would be inefficient.

- Students don't learn effectively when they are chronically hungry. Providing education to hungry students isn't maximizing society's investment in these comparatively expensive services.

- Bonus reason: for many students, school is the only institution they have significant contact with, and therefore nobody else is feeding them. Feeding kids is the Right and Moral thing to do.

Ha - I wish they were respectful. In my home state, the respect was very much lacking. Whatever they could get away with was the strategy.

To say they were respectful - absolutely they were not.

I think you missed a key point. You need to separate the rate limiting key from the whole cookie. So for example if you want to rate limit by user ID you need to duplicate the user ID outside of the main session cookie so that the expiry date, session id, etc.. are not included in the rate limiting key. (Or teach the proxy to extract the key, which is possible for signed but not encrypted cookies.)

The app then needs to verify that the "extracted" data is actually correct and trusted.
