About making money for good... this is something I think about often, especially in my manufacturing businesses. Let me explain:

Say you were to pull in 50M USD in revenue to your co. over 20 years, you own a plastics processing factory for example and you sell plastic products b2b, maybe you are a broker between multiple plastics recycling depots for example, there are many ways for you to cause 500M USD in total damages that cannot be traced back to you (for now) in pollution costs

We should follow your example of charity and apply it more broadly, on a systemic level and establish businesses that are more sustainable

I'm not a scientist, I'm just ranting
That's a fun idea, but it has extreme complexity (both electrical and the human elements like accounting and permissions) and I don't see much benefit to anyone.

Maybe I'm missing something. Why would I want to plug in my car at the parking lot to have it discharged into somebody else's? At the parking lot, I just want a charger.
If all ephemeral ports (1024-65535) are forwarded to the Nintendo Switch, it means that the NAT gateway can't allocate ports for the other devices that require to send or receive something on UDP. Also, even if "it did only affect incoming connections", where do you expect to receive your reply if all UDP traffic is redirected to the Switch?
Amen. What's worth doing is worth doing well. It's the anti-thesis of move fast and break stuff but I really far prefer the careful approach to software development over the one that doesn't care about what happens to end users.
> I'll never understand the American thirst for money for the sake of it.

The issue that arises when you hear about many large orgs is that they really don't have anything else to offer.
If connection tracking wasn’t a thing, every UDP reply would be sent to every device on the network.
I'll try an analogy. Your router is an apartment building. The switch is one of the many tenants. The problem: Mail for the switch does not arrive in the correct pidgeon hole of the building.

Problem one: Nintendo wants you to take your IP and add 20. So if you live in blahstreet 1 box 7, they tell you to send all Switch post to blahstreet 1 box 27. If someone else happens to own that box, bad luck for him. Worse, the IPs are dynamic via DHCP, so a box unused today may be used tomorrow. But that's the minor part.

Problem 2: Nintendo wants you to tape a big paper above the pidgeon holes, saying: Postmaster, please drop all mail in box 27, no matter what box it specifies. Technically only for UDP, so the TCP traffic will be delivered. Even so, a lot of post will be wrongly delivered to the Switch and thrown away. Other tenants will wonder why they don't get their mail.

Problem 3: You become very vulnerable. The router will send every hacking attempt to the Switch. The tiniest bug in its networking is now critical, as outsiders can just assume your Switch will receive anything they send.

To recap, Nintendo is making sure their device receives traffic by throwing every other device you own under the bus. Even a second Switch will suffer. The advice is Dilbert PHB level idiotic but will seem to work for a while.
Funny, my friend and I were just talking about this kind of thing last night. I've been watching lots of Soft White Underbelly[1] interviews with gangsters, mafia , etc. and my friend's been reading about the transition from honor culture to state obedience in 1600's in Norway. The conclusion is that any time you create a black market by banning something in demand then a parallel state (competing with the "legitimate" state) will always pop up to protect property, trade and tax because not only is the "legitimate" state enforcing the ban, but they are simultaneously abstaining from their typical "duties" in that regard, leaving a gap to be filled.

I find it interesting that the same thing can be achieved online but without the violence that is necessary in person. It's definitely a different space.

Just a quick advice, as I struggled with this as my daughter complained that she could not join network games in Animal Crossing because she had only “NAT Type D”.

Forwarding all these ports was the recommended solution in Nintendo’s docs. However, it did nothing to resolve this problem. What helped was to ensure not to modify source ports in the NAT setup (“static-port” in pf).

> Telemetry has nothing to do with this, it just happens to be one of the first services with H3 load balancer.
Don't worry, FF will do an automatic update to re-enable it. Again. Without your consent.
> A job can be fun and fulfilling and better paying.

I agree, but I was replying to a comment that suggests people quit extremely well paying jobs because they can earn more elsewhere, and not because of culture etc.
A millennium ago cities were overcrowded, smelly, dangerous, disease-infested slums with no plumbing or electricity. People living in the country were much better off, even if they were peasants who had to pay extortionate shares of their crop to the local lord.
While working for a FAANG in Europe me and a lot of colleagues have been offered to relocate to the US. With a big salary increase as you can imagine.

Believe me or not, very few people accepted. Surprisingly for me.
> a fictional character

Harry Potter is a fictional character. Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character. Bilbo Baggins is a fictional character. They never existed outside of their authors' (and then readers') imaginations, although in some aspects they may have been modelled on real people.

Jesus of Nazareth, in contrast, is a real person who lived in Galilee and Judea, a couple of thousand years ago. It's hard to find a serious historian who would dispute this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_Jesus

You may not believe every aspect of the "official narrative" (or other stories about him), or agree with their view of his significance. But to call him "fictional" is ridiculous.
of course it should be opt-in. It's ridiculous that such a thing would be opt-out.
This is a slightly different use case (charging for people who don't have off-street parking), but I suspect that it will be a good model for out-of-charge rescues as well. It is essentially a mobile rapid charger:

I'd tell you the joke about UDP but you might not get it.
Ask HN: How often do you make a fresh OS install?
How often do you do it? For what reasons? Do you format the drive, keep your files, apps?

I think I make a fresh macOS with drive format install monthly, I'm kind of obsessed...
What's the reason not to open all ports btw? Outing myself as naive by asking
> I feel like a sociological study on "alternative forms of justice" could be very fruitful.

Not sure why you assumed they don't exist already. There are apparently many. Google Scholar that shit.
Customer.io seems closest!

Nobody else does this, I have like 100's of transactional use cases:
- Trial almost ending
- New signup
- CC expired
- Reminders, confirmations
- Workouts affirmation, reminder etc.

etc.

A pain to write a proper rule system and keep overview in own application.

The challenge is not the simple emails / notifications. But to combine it with more complicated rules, and and + time conditinos

I have the events already in the system, would love to transfer them and have a stable UI / where I can add, create pause etc.
This ruling doesn’t have enforcement recommended (yet), but under GDPR, the EU's data protection authorities can impose fines of up to up to €20 million, or 4% of worldwide revenue for the preceding financial year, whichever is higher. I’m not sure whether this offense would rise to the full 4%, or only a lesser 2%, if it came to enforcement.

The Worrisome Rise of NFTs
Almost none of those users are willing to pay 4x the price for native iOS, Android, Windows, Macos, and Linux apps (on top of the web version).

Also, I do not, in fact, have 4x the time to implement all that, vacation or not, nor do I have enough revenue to justify hiring a team of specialized developers.

It's about as selfish of me to be building on Electron as it is of you to not be working full time on Tauri or some other secure and high performance solution to this problem. Which is - not at all. Nobody is entitled to our dev time for free or against our will.
> At that point, aren't you well past the point where more money brings more happiness, even in high cost-of-living places? What's the point? Why not find a job that's fun and fulfilling?

From what I understand most top US software engineers intend to retire earlier using that money. Question to you and other similarly-minded Europeans here: Do you intend to churn web services until you are 67 years old (dutch state pension age starting from 2024)? Are you sure that idea of learning yet-another-JS-framework when you are 60 will sound as appealing to you ("fun and fulfilling job") as it does now?
I haven't checked the other two numbers, but your UK tax calculation is off. A more accurate after-tax number (applying correct income tax bands and national insurance) is €80K.
Check the FireFox usage stats. They tell a pretty good story. Every couple of months there will be some major issue and then FF loses a bunch of users. And they don't come back.
> A huge problem with this industry is the inflexibility to pay current engineers LARGELY increasing comp each year

This is not an inflexibility. This is the "leadership" deciding that it is not worth it.
NFTs: Know What You Are Buying
Would you support them doing the same thing on MacOS? Or transactions through Safari?

I don’t see how iOS requires a 30% cut but Macs and transactions through Safari don’t.

The justification is the same, they make and maintain all the tech behind those the same as they do iOS. So really iOS shouldn’t have a cut or MacOS and Safari should. To be consistent.
I'm getting the same impression at my client and my client only employs ~150 devs, not a 100k.

All in all, this strongly reminds me of the "Collapse of Civilization" described by Jonathan Blow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSRHeXYDLko

Make it even 15$... For the real premium feel.
> web app

Good luck! Safari is crippled. The examples are too numerous to list but even the UX around existing features that would bring Web apps closer to on-par with App Store apps is terrible. For example my friend was sad that Wordle wasn't an app because they wanted it on their home screen. No problem I said! I know you can add shortcuts on iOS. But they couldn't find the option. They even game me the phone and I couldn't find it in the 30s I looked! I'm sure it is there somewhere but it is clear that the UX is damanaged to keep the moat between native and web artificially high.
Most users are computer illiterate, so they would choose to not auto-update to skip the hassle, and then never manually update anyways.
So… what if you have two switches?
They will turn it back on for you. I could swear I've had it turned off a few times already before, and I'm definitely sure I did it at least once yet here we are :).

Telemetry in itself isn't the end of the world, but disregarding the settings your users chose is such a weird behavior coming from an organization that pretends to care about choice.
If the point is to stop the spread of virus, it is. But if the point is to force everyone to get vaccinated (why?), it is not.
What's wrong with IPNS? I'm using it for my decentralized website (via fleek), and it seems to work well.
This is very insightful. I've personally gotten better at handling rejections, but it's still very difficult. The amount of effort individuals are expected to invest in each prospective job is mind blowing.

On top of my resume, you want me to fill out multiple text boxes with information about why I want to work at Random No Name Company, what I expect from my time there, what my personal ethos is... Then you ask me for a cover letter?! This is literally to just initiate a lottery where it seems the odds of the next step happening are less than 1%.

It's more brutal than dating. I do not envy any single engineers who are juggling both games.
Talking about COVID-X EcoHealth Alliance who were enthusing about Covid gain of function research also wanted to much around with MERS, a virus that kills 30% of humans rather than the namby pamby Covid with its mediocre 1%.

The style is a little too flowery and verbose for my taste, so I skimmed and might be missing something.

This is the (long) period of British history where the main political & rhetorical battleground was the protestant reformation. Milton himself was a convert, as were many (most?) notable Englishmen his generation. Divorce was a primary/defining point of contention between catholics & protestants.

I feel like there's not enough context here, to get an understanding of what being pro-divorce means in his time & place.
I wonder how much of our shared and limited resources is humanity going to waste on preventing war and violence with war and violence before coming to its collective sense? How much richer could we all be without this amazing waste, or how much less pollution there'd be?

Perhaps we should let the machines take over soon.
The point being that, IMHO, extensions over ESBuild tend to not improve the developer experience because they have a tendency to bloat and steer towards being "webpack but esbuild", which defeats the point of esbuild, being the "anti-webpack".
Exactly. And many of us have a hard time getting a single opportunity and feel lucky when we get a job.
Please - be aware of what you're doing relying on conventional commits.
I saw projects using them to later do automatic merges between branches, and I think this is the "wrong level of abstraction".
I think there is an underlying problem if you are mixing "fix" and "feature" (for example) commits in a "feature" branch.
Why the fix is in a feature branch?
I think it's more important to have the distintion on a "branch" level, linked in a 1-1 relation to a jira/feature/bugtracker issue and whatnot.
What's the end goal of all this? Information (data) technology has essentially left europe

What should really scare you is the vast amount of privacy violations, data collection and tracking that is happening around the web. Imagine someone following you everywhere in the real world, even getting into your apartment and noting down everything you do.

If following the basic principles laid out in GDPR is too much of a hassle for you, you should probably not be in business anyway. It's not rocket science.
They've been depleting that for years. This sort of attitude change doesn't happen over night, it is an accumulation.
PlayStation is pretty bad too, they want 80, 443 (and 1935, 3074, 3478-3479), if you don't you can get all sorts of really annoying problems joining games, delays joining voice chats etc....
Just woke up and found this on the front page of HN.

Questions? Comments? Get at me on Twitter - @cushychicken
Electricity, gas, water, sewerage, internet: utility functions. Pricing here can be completely regulated easily. The input costs can't be constraint, true. But the cost/price dysfunction is really apparent here. The gas price hike isn't permanent and this is lost in noise against QE and MMT in a world of zero interest rates.

Being held to ransom by Russia over gas prices is insane. The swedes should reopen their nukes until they can Lease or build wind in the Baltic or tidal or whatever.
If they need all your incoming traffic they should probably have called it a "router" not a "switch".
True, those instructions are for those users for whom UPNP failed.
Yes but your router might not interact well with Connection Tracking and UDP port forwards. Especially with such wide range ones. I know more than one case where port forwarding disables connection tracking for UDP on those ports.
Cox (US residential ISP) recently started blocking all port 80 inbound to residential IPs.

One unmentioned con: no updates, no new torrents can be added (or, updates require re-deployment of full new .sqlite db, together with a new website). I think there's a space for decentralized database format. Something that would have immutable rows (not the whole db), ranges and search, indexes, etc. Maybe there's something like this already?
The deeper background is of course Google's business model of data and privacy prostitution: Users give their private life to Google and they get web search, email, and videos back.

In a more reasonable world users would pay money for the services they want to use.

Of course it needs to be noted that most users don't even understand that they are selling themselves. And of the few who do most still think it's better than paying money.

This ruling, should Google comply in the end, will not change anything. Google will store the data in the EU
and that's it. I don't think they share user data with the advertiser when they show an ad. So they could still show ads of US companies. And that's a niche business only anyway because when Europeans do business with Amazon, Disney, and the like they deal with the respective European subsidiaries already.
They just don't seem to do that kind of housing in much of the US due do zoning. It's all "single-family homes", with no opportunity for more mixed-use construction that would allow for density and cheaper accommodation, such as relatively low-rise buildings (i.e., less than six floors) with one/two bed flats, or even things like corner shops, community post offices, creches, and the like. All that's illegal, which is insanity.
UDP Connection Tracking is not well implemented on all routers, more than once I've found that forwarding a UDP port makes that UDP port unavailable for other devices to use.
Ba dum tzz... sigh take my upvote.
Which is why from medical and ethical standpoint the vaccine passports that are oh so popular never made any sense. Vaccinated people can and do spread it. Even among each other. So what is the point? For proper control the test passport would have been the clear solution.

A fish rots from the head down. The people in charge with the most power to solve workplace toxicity are in all likelihood the cause. If that is the case then the best advice is for people to resign and go elsewhere, just as people are doing according to the article.
I don't believe in "greener grass" as I've seen a lot. I am happy with the team, the processes, the culture, so not even shopping around as I am happy with the money as well. I could get a bit more (based on what I hear) but no, thanks, no.
again, thermodynamics:

Slightly off-topic questions, because I've been thinking about freelancing lately:

- Where/how do you (as a freelancer) find your clients? (Do you focus on clients from the financial industry?)

- Where are those clients from (location-wise)?

- Do you work remotely? If yes, does your timezone need to match your client's timezone? Put differently: How flexible are you when it comes to working hours?
By sideshow, OP was charitably going along with what Google’s EU lawyers would have us believe, not the reality on the ground. Of course it’s necessary for their ad business model as currently implemented. They would have to setup a separate ad auction unit in EU for EU visitors, if the ruling stands.

This reminds me of how IBM and Coca-Cola setup “independent” operations in Germany during the WWII embargo to provide products and services to the Nazi regime. Those units were later folded back into their original parent companies after the war, profits and all. That’s where Fanta came from. That’s what Coca-Cola Germany was called. I forget what the IBM one went by.
I am shocked this author doesn’t mention the interview process itself. Leetcode grinding does very little to benefit engineers in their current position and will not help them at future employers either. I can tell some firms like Amazon are in need of talent as I get hit up frequently by their recruiters. My current job is good and I don’t feel like doing leetcode prep to interview anywhere. Their loss.
You appear to be talking about alternating current bidirectional charging. There is no standard for that (and none in development that I am aware of). Also, I am not aware of any vehicle that has the onboard inverter that would be necessary (except possibly, the F150).

Existing bidirectional chargers are direct current chargers. Basically, they connect directly to the car's battery and communicate with the car's battery management system. This is the same way that rapid chargers work. The main cost is the bi-directional inverter/rectifier, but that cost will come down.
Or try to get how zoning fixed to allow for mixed-use.

Even if it would scare me (it really doesn't), as an EU citizen I would care about surveillance by the EU, not by the US.

To do what? Collect a lot of useless information? I would bother me if someone I know does it. I don't care if some abstract entity in a different country thousands of miles away does it.
