Hey e-pelaza, maybe add some contact info to your profile. I'd love to chat a bit and offer some tips. Contact info is in my profile, can I pick your brain sometime?
Suggestion: Take some time and set up your own site and add it to your about section. Tell us about yourself, how long you have been studying English, development, dreams, etc.

Hope to chat soon!
The interesting thing is that to use Zelle, you have to have an account at a participating bank (which did stronger KYC on you when you opened your account, as opposed to Paypal/Venmo). So there wouldn't be a need to issue 1099s when authorities can contact the bank directly.

Also, I would rather trust my bank than PayPal when it comes to giving out my ID or SSN. Zelle will probably become more popular in the future.
I am not saying real people weren’t hurt. But some of these allegations are years old. You don’t think those same insiders who were pushing those stories in news media could buy the lows and now riding the spike in the stock price?
Yeah for MS is easier to dump cash (you don't have to be creative for that) and outright buy whole studios with their IPs, rather than using brains and actually create something new.
Sony is way ahead in that regard, so sad to see money dumping on the other side
This makes a lot of sense for both companies. Activision need to clear out large swaths of their board and executive suite. Microsoft has consistently lost console market share to Sony with each console generation. They are also ceding ground in the computer gaming sector.
We can stop with these comments after another system displaces git as the dominant player.
I think is easy to contradict your hypothesis,
All the code and tools are not secret, local shops have them so you don't need some extremely clever spy to get their hands on them.

I seen a similar argument about Apple repair manuals , there is even more stupid since Apple sends in China the full blueprints to build the iPhones so there is no fucking way that making the repair tools and manuals public gives China,Russia or N Koreea something they can't already get.

DRM would only make sense if you rent the product so the owner would not want to let a random dude to change stuff, but if you are the owner then you should be able to read the error codes and have a competent person replace a part.

TL:DR the repair tools and manuals do not contain trade secrets, the argument is flawed.

The Curse of the Eternal Present
It's funny because I have been a "gym rat" much of my life and until very recently wasn't motivated by vanity, specifically, being attractive to the opposite sex. I've seen a burst of assertions lately from 20-somethings that seemed to deny anyone would have any other motivation for physical fitness.

Oddly compared to my cohort I am both a nerd and a jock. I find intense exercise be it hiking or cardio or weights helps me keep my sanity in terms of sitting all day and the other stresses of my work. It's not like it is abstractly good for my health in the long term and I'm discovering now that it probably wasn't but that I feel better immediately in the short term from physical exercise.
I wouldn't be surprised. The current party in power isn't doing anything to force big corps to pay taxes, and the opposing party is even more passionate about not doing anything.
> but this is bad news for anyone who plays games on Playstation, Linux/Steam/Proton, or Nintendo platforms.

Microsoft has been releasing their PC games on Steam the same day they do on their own store for a few years now.
Microsoft didn't invent (video game) platform exclusivity, they merely have perfected it. Thank Sony and rockstar games or Activision, ironically, for this, going all the way back to.. GTA San Andreas, or Tony Hawk franchise.

Usually don’t disagree with Elon but, “UN projections are utter nonsense. Just multiply last year’s births by life expectancy. Given downward trend in birth rate, that is best case unless reversed.” seems dubious. There are good reasons to think last year’s birth rate is anomalous. His larger point about population decline is a worthy one.
Any economic statement can be turned around and stated in the reverse way. Maybe it's the gamers who are unwilling to pay enough for games, so the only companies that can afford to make games are console vendors?
I think a comment below addresses this, but the usual counterpoint is that a) the "necessary accounting" can become an undue burden itself and b) creating additional audit risks small may not be able to mitigate

The idea is that it is a structure that effectively prefers larger scale businesses who have the means to mitigate both of those
I'm not talking about their missiles or air force, but the Integrated Air Defense System.

The French built KARI IADS system was a very much modern at the time, having been first operationalized in 1987 and was linked with fiber optic cable, with wireless communication as a backup [0]. While the Iraqi's did not have the latest SAM systems themselves, their integrated air defense system allowed them to keep the radars of SAM batteries turned off, keeping them hidden to avoid detection. Their missiles were very potent, and it had a lot of them at 16,000 in total [1]:

"The U.S. Government estimated before the war that the most critical Iraqi targets were more heavily defended than any in Eastern Europe even during the height of the Cold War."

S-125 missiles had victories against coalition aircraft. They would have had many more victories were it not for the fact that coalition air strikes severed the centralized air command communications in the starting minutes of the war thanks to the Stealthy F-117's which were already above Baghdad at the time of H hour. The combination of stealth aircraft taking out key crucial infrastructure, severing of fiber optics communication, jamming of wireless communications, electronic warfare, and decoy drones proved to be too much for the Iraqi IAD's. But without those technologies and strategies, the Gulf War could have been a blood bath much more akin to Vietnam.

>"How is this different than the transition to requiring online transactions to charge sales tax?"

The biggest difference is that we are dealing with a federal entity. When it comes to state sales taxes, that payment is handled by the merchant and I personally don't need to file a return with the City/State/County documenting my transactions and sending a payment or asking for a refund. The businesses themselves need to do this, and that is not unreasonable for a business.

The other difference is that the IRS' system of voluntary compliance is essentially a reconciliation of our own record book and the records that have been submitted to them. They usually match because the average person just pays income tax and that is handled by W-2's and employer withholding. When Venmo, Paypal, and Zelle report that you've done over $600 in transactions, they now have cause to ask you if you should have been paying any capital gains on those transactions. That also requires bookkeeping that you have probably never kept track of. As you probably never bothered to save the receipt on that couch you bought 10 years ago and just sold.

Here is one other scenario, let's say I loan a friend $600 through Venmo. The IRS will only know the amount of the transaction, not the context. If I get audited and tell them it was a loan with no contract, will the IRS accept that as proof it was a temporary loan and not a gift? Will they suspect I actually bought drugs? And so on. While the IRS has a record of all transactions, they will want to know what kind of transactions were occurring and will want to know why the numbers in your 1040 don't match what they are expecting from you.
I agree with this. Asking a female employee “if she noticed any sideway look” seems very inappropriate. It puts her on the spot in what I would assume is a very uncomfortable way, and also prompts her to be thinking about a potential hire as a creep (because of what you said, not anything they actually did).

If you want an actual female opinion on the candidate, have your female employees active in interviews. Then ask them what they think about the candidate. Your female employees are just as capable of evaluating candidates effectively as your male employees.

Late reply, but I'll bite.

I was under the impression that BI was a few years older than it is, so thanks for making me check. Actually, the fact it was made so recently and by people so familiar with the diversity of the genre makes me less forgiving of its weird specifics and priorities.

I do not and never did think Diablo single-handedly upended the definition, but I do believe it (and its sequel):

1) Took so many of its design elements from roguelikes that in the context of its time, it was not unreasonable to consider it a new take on that genre's formula

2) Was a major, if not definitive influence on many of the roguelites that would follow afterwards

Actually, if Hades and Angband were both called "diablolikes" instead, there would probably be much less fighting over it. ("Less" not implying none. Genres can always be fought over and naming genres after specific works rarely works well anyway)

As for Wizardry, EotB, Megami Tensei, I genuinely think they look closer to a quintessential roguelike than a lot of roguelites do. If those are the smart-ass edge cases, I'm pretty happy with my wording. I didn't even intend the description to be synonymous with roguelike, but "turn based dungeon crawler" seems to include almost all games I consider to be true roguelikes and less games I don't consider roguelikes than the most actual attempted definitions of roguelike I've seen around.

If it turns out that first-person dungeon RPGs with combat-specific interface are actually an especially prevalent subset of the turn-based dungeon crawler category, I might have to start differentiating the ones with top down perspective or non-modal gameplay. So far I haven't found that to be an issue.
Venmo is already trying to solve this by incentivizing users to flag payments themselves.

When you go to pay someone, there's a pretty big box on the screen that says "Are you paying for goods or services? Protect your purchase here" with a little toggle button, and an explanation that the seller will pay a fee in return for you being able to get a refund.
OK, but that means someone with good weapons can kill you and take your stuff.
I honestly think behind climate change, the current state of anti-trust enforcement is one of the biggest issues facing Americans right now. It's disappointing that it's not even expected for anti-trust action to happen anymore.
> I guess you are in Australia?

Nope

> In my own country we have large swaths pre-omicron who have natural antibodies

It's funny this one, as that's not what this should tell you, the page uses antibodies to measure how many people have potentially been infected, it doesn't demonstrate effective herd immunity or that the population would be naturally immune or protected

We know that COVID is a disease where more exposure leads to more damage, so having antibodies doesn't mean anything

Here's an article for that site telling you about the benefits of a universal vaccine - https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-scientists...

It's also worth reading through their other studies about vaccines, as well as how they're looking to tackle the issues with vaccines themselves - https://search.nih.gov/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&affiliate=nih&q...

> Now you seem to be expecting these folks to be vaccinated with a drug that has specifically excluded them from the trials. Drug recommendations ought to be coupled with safety testing on the impacted group.

I haven't suggested anything of the sort and I'm pretty sure this doesn't work how you think it does

> If you can find me Pfizer/Moderna trial studies which show specific impact on recovered individuals I will never post again.

You know for a fact this doesn't exist because people aren't trying to measure the healthy

What we do have are studies that show the delta goes down as vaccines are introduced, along with the infection rate

I really wish you would stop commenting because this a great demonstrating of not understanding the data at all.

EDIT: someone turned off replies lol

I have addressed them, there's just clearly an understanding gap here

Antibodies are also created by vaccines, if that's your measure here you shouldn't be arguing against them, that's why it's meaningless

Any interaction with disease creates them, so having them present doesn't guarantee that there's enough being produced (or even effectively) to counteract the effects
Ask HN: Your most thorough and enjoyable Technical Interview?
A few days ago, someone mentioned that they had a very enjoyable and very thorough interview.

The hiring manager or interviewer took them through a system and basically ask them pointed questions on algorithms and data structures.

What they enjoyed was that it was both in-depth, open, and not something one could just cheat/memorize their way through.

What were your most memorable and thorough tech interviews?
Good spot. The WebRTC part is currently experimental and might be superceded by a different solution. If that's not the case I'll probably abstract it out indeed!
You've got some interesting points there, but I think that the reaction some people have to the idea that they might be deterministic is actually to do with dualism and not free will. People try to pull free will into the dualism debate because they are desperately looking for reasons to back up their feeling that they are essentially more than pure material. I don't think that these two topics really have much to do with each other, which I think can be seen by looking at what people really mean when they actually talk about free choice and free will in everyday life rather than in philosophical conversations where they're already trying to justify a position.

Not sure I understand your point here. They will need to migrate to industry standard tools for foundry customers anyway.

Seems to me that planning to place more business with TSMC is essentially an admission that they don’t expect to be competitive with TSMC in the near future. And Gelsinger has more visibility on this than anyone.

Biden specifically stated in December 2020 that he wouldn't impose a vaccine mandate. Regardless of whether such mandates are a good idea or not, I think many voters are upset that he lied about it.

Yep, he actually started making cars after getting into an argument with Enzo Ferrari.

I just googled to find the reference[0], but apparantly he had a problem with his clutch, went to ferrari and suggested some easy ways that ferrari could make their clutches last longer. Ferrari responds with:

> “Let me make cars. You stick to making tractors.” - Enzo Ferrari

Which obviously didn't go down too well. Then Lamborghini started making cars.

The UK government is currently facing demands from within his own party that the Prime Minister resign. There is talk of a campaign of policy proposals ("Red Meat") aimed at Conservative backbenchers, to distract attention from the hypocrisy and lies of the Prime Minister.

I think the more-plausible thing is that this part of that Red Meat programme, which is going to consist of a train of announcements designed to appeal to rightwing Conservatives, none of which will have anything at all to do with the Prime Minister.

This Red Meat programme will also distract the opposition away from the Prime Minister's moral emptiness and deceitfulness; the government hopes that by making sufficiently-nasty policy proposals, they can force the opposition to devote their time and attention away from the weaknesses of the Prime Minister and his coterie, and towards opposing these proposals. It's very cynical.

Forecast: I have a long record of wrong political prophesies! But I think Boris will have gone within a week. I have no idea who they will replace him with; none of his colleagues has electoral appeal, as far as I can see, and they're facing a General Election in two years. I wouldn't offer odds on the outcome of that election, either; the leader of the opposition isn't particularly appealing, is not loved by his party, and seems to have no policies.

> Sophie Wilson has said that cost-per-transistor is rising since we shrank below 22nm

The data has been saying otherwise. 5nm is the only node that increased $/transistor beyond it's previous node (7nm), and that's at a time when Apple payed out the ass for a monopoly on the node except testing shuttle runs from competitors but isn't a sign of a fundamental increase in cost.

https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Unwdy4CoCC6A6Gn4JE38Hc-970...

> and that a 7nm die cannot run more than half of its transistors at the same time without melting.

That's true for trying to run multiGhz designs in classic plastic package BGAs like most cell phone chips, but that's been true for a while, hence why flip chip packages are a thing. Actually having a heat spreader connected to the die goes a long way.

Wilson's comments aren't incorrect from a certain point of view, but tend to get extrapolated out of her niche to the greater industry in a way that pushes the statements into inaccuracy.

Venmo, at least, is absolutely concerned about it. The app really tries to get you to flag payments as "business" any time you're paying someone.

This is an excellent point. You can argue that the Switch is so different, it can make sense to own a Switch plus a PS5. But the PS5 and Xbox Series X are so similar it is wasteful to be arbitrarily requiring you to buy both if you want 2 sets of exclusives.

That's ultimately why Microsoft did this. Previously it made sense to just get a PS4/PS5. You get the excellent Sony exclusives, and all the cross-platform games. You missed out on very few good Xbox exclusives. Not anymore.

I'm hopeful this stuff will still come to steam. I'm done having multiple consoles. I have a PS5 and a PC. I'm hopeful that's enough to not miss out on too much.
People cite preprints in their references. So as an expert you can find the preprints that others based their work one.

And is much faster.

The taxes aren't just. The state blows trillions on wars, foreign aid, etc so I think there's a spending problem. Maybe if they could reign their spending, we could let people keep more of their money. Instead people take out loans and go into debt to keep up. And then we tell them to be austere (no smart phone for you, skip the coffee, etc) while the state spends with wild abandon.
