Yep. That sounds about right. Modafinil really works and if you are sensible and has not so many downsides. I had plenty and used it all up. Was about 40p for 50 tablets or more in India. 7-14 days off would be perfect. Ritalin was absolutely horrible, made me feel really weird. Moda just works.
Er, that explanation doesn’t really hold, considering if you’re stupid you starve in the US too, and we get tons of idiots applying for jobs they’re completely unqualified for.
You are confused or may not have been paying attention to the context of the post you replied to. We're talking about the value of a publicly traded company, Nvidia. We aren't talking about the value of the Mona Lisa, or an NFT of a dancing monkey or even a Bitcoin.

I didn't write anything controversial and you don't need to consult an economics textbook, a basic Investopedia article will do:

From Investopedia:

"The dividend discount model (DDM) is one of the most basic of the absolute valuation models. The dividend discount model calculates the "true" value of a firm based on the dividends the company pays its shareholders."

An alternative model if there is no dividends:

"the Discounted Cash Flow model uses a firm's discounted future cash flows to value the business. "

The ability of a firm to sell itself to a foreign firm is not a factor is valuing the firm.

I wouldn't use these models to value a Pikachu trading card, but this is stock market 101 type stuff.

Sure, but if $70 is what someone is willing to pay to not have to drive to Walgreens, why would they price it lower?
It's not hard. At virtually every small company I worked for, not only is there no leetcode bullshit, firing wankers is as easy as giving them the termination slip. US has at will employment, 'you've been fired' is literally all you need to say, no explanation is required. You get hired after a conversation with a CEO, in my experience the hiring and firing process are both completed in under an hour.
Shearing requires advanced technology that the Vikings may not have had. https://www.griggsagri.co.uk/blog/sheep-shearing-a-brief-his...:

“The sheep were shorn using very basic tools, such as metal, or sharp glass, fashioned into an implement to take whole clumps of wool off at once. Over time, the tools were adapted into scissor-like blades to make the job easier.”

I think you can call that plucking. People use tools to pluck grapes, too.

And 100 a day without a powered tool? Is that realistic?
How much faster is a spinning wheel (of typical 500-year-old design, say) vs. a drop spindle, in the hands of someone with 20 years of spinning experience? And can the spinning wheel produce yarn that has similar quality?

From skimming around online, it seems that expert spinners get extremely fast with a drop spindle, and can produce higher quality yarn. But I can’t find a definitive answer about the comparative speed.
Generally speaking hard drive encryption protects against theft and not tampering. I.e. the idea is that if your laptop or NAS is "lost and found", then you wipe the drive and restore from backup, not continue to use the drive.

Since the protocol used here is broken the fix is to change the protocol - so keep in mind that...

longer supported (reencryption with the digest is not backward

There are different ways to look at it. From a defense-in-depth perspective, you are right. That is, however, one of the main points of a zero-trust environment (or you could say Zero Trust), which is a kind-of-new trend that much has been written about.

Think about it this way: In the context of ransomware attacks, a lot of times it's game over once an internal agent is compromised. The premise of zero trust is that once an attacker is "inside the wall", they gain basically nothing. Compromising one service or host would mean having no venue for escalation from there.

I wouldn't say it's objectively better (maybe by the time I retire I can make a call on that), but it's a valid strategy. Certainly better than relying on perimeter-based security like VPN alone, as opposed to it being just one layer of DiD, though.
I am sure it would be nice to have but a backup of a community isn't worth much if you can't re-establish it with a "restore" function.

Isn't this the person that falsely accused someone of rape and then (much later) admitted having lied about it? Why should this person not be in prison?

To the people downvoting me: what SHOULD happen to people who knowingly lie and accuse an innocent person of raping them when they later admit it was entirely fabricated?
Archaeologists Discover – and Start to Decode – Rare Medieval Runes
Not sure if we can save the people of today but we can take steps to make sure this doesn't happen to the next generation. In my case I've expressly forbidden family members still using Meta platforms from posting pictures of my kids there. Once they get to a certain age I'll be blocking said platforms on my home network. It's the responsible thing to do.
I encourage you to watch some videos online of traditional (mostly hand-tools) Shipwrights. Even with the use of a bandsaw to do the rough milling, it is an arduous and lengthy process. Shipwrights also work with some of the longest planks of wood any form of woodworking does. In the days before machines, there would be scores of workers simply preparing the wood and getting it ready for the ship building.

My hunch would be the reason shipbuilding is faster is it is easier to scale to multiple workers, and there are parts you can do in parallel.
12-15 women working for 3 months is close to 4 person-years of work. That's higher than the numbers in Fenrisulfr's quote.
I think it's a bit more nuanced than that. Speaking as someone w/ experience on the interviewer side, there are two types of interviewers: the smug ones that evaluate on whether the presented solution matches the one on the answer sheet and the experienced ones that evaluate on signals that correlate to job relevance. I aim to always have interviewees solve the question, even if it means I'm dictating parts to get them unblocked. Because the things I'm looking for are things like fluency w/ the tools, communication, basic understanding of how to apply techniques to a problem, etc, rather than whether they can capitulate on some very specific eureka moment.

On the interviewee side, I think many candidates fall into the same mental trap as the smug interviewers; they think of it as a school test where you have to match the answer sheet. In reality it's more about selling yourself to the interviewer in between the lines.

I don't really buy the busy family argument; my wife finds time to practice leetcode despite having a full-time job and two kids in the house for a good half of the day. In my experience, people that work more hours per week than the local standard on software roles either have trouble setting expectations w/ stakeholders (and this ability is evaluated in unicorn interview loops for senior level and above) or they just volunteer to overwork when it isn't really necessary. I've seen high-paced environments where the family folks did a consistent 9-to-5 no problem. Extenuating circumstances like family cancer are indeed a valid concern, but at the same time, a minority of cases.

I've seen plenty of bitterness along the lines of "some ethnicities/age groups/etc just work too hard" or whatever, but at the end of the day, if we're talking about roles paying north of 200-300k/yr, the dynamics of the incentives will pretty much guarantee that one needs to put above average amount of effort into getting one of those jobs.

The thing is there are companies out there like Duolingo or Zapier that are willing to hire from non-hub locations and pay 6 digit salaries, and they may not even ask leetcode questions per se, but their hiring bars are very high nonetheless.

Ask HN: Is Boxabl a Scam?
I've been following Boxabl's Instagram account for a couple of years now. When I first saw the account, it was peak of the tiny house movement, and I was enamored by the simplicity they seemed to have, and most importantly, the small footprint they take up. The possibilities of affordable housing for thousands seemed to good to be true.

I also happen to be on the Starter Story newsletter, where today I saw that Boxabl was the featured story of this month's newsletter. Boxable has apparently hit 10 million in monthly recurring revenue. "Oh wow!", I thought to myself, "they've finally 'made it'! They're finally shipping product!" Heading to their site, I was a bit disappointed that they still have a waiting list (however they make it all too clear you can make a $200 or even $5000 deposit - hope those numbers aren't going into their illustrious 10 million dollar revenue stream!

So then I think... are they even shipping these homes? I hopped on YouTube, looking for just a single example of someone sharing their Boxabl home. As I scrolled, my doubts began to grow. All the videos were by Boxabl themselves, or a popular YouTuber at the factory and/or a show home example...

And that's when I realized it: Boxabl isn't a real product company. It's a social media company, and it always will be. The revenues they get from 'reservations' and ads are enough to make yet MORE ads, and the cycle feeds off itself. At some point, and probably soon, the company is going to shut its doors, crumble, and as always, a few handful of individuals will take off into the sunset with fat stacks of cash.

So, while the hype is indeed real (all too real), I've yet to see a single customer with proof of a non-show room Boxable home in use in th real world. Such a massive revenue stream has been years in the making, and yet a single house is in a buyers hands. How many millions do you need before shipping product?

Worried this is going to turn out exactly like Mars One: a bunch of empty pockets and crushed dreams.
I'd like to point out something my sibling commenters seem to be missing; nopenopenopeno never suggested that the _government_ run these services instead. They said that private companies were incapable of doing this, and that competition was not a suitable mechanism for achieving the necessary outcomes.

It is quite possible that neither the state nor private industry can do this, and that we need _something else_. I don't know what this is, it seems apparent to me that Mastodon-style, self hosted solutions are not tenable either, or perhaps their time has simply not come yet. But let us not limit our imagination to two broken options.
I'm 90% sure you're telling a subtle joke, but on the off chance you're not "luddite" is worth a Google.

By that reasoning you would only wear masks when rates are very high. But a lot of schools require it when case rates are very low.

It's not. The whole thing is in a <table>, there's no ARIA attributes let alone ones that reflect states, and the buttons are...<li>'s?

> doing literally nothing for accessibility will probably be better in most instances than doing something

This is a great example of why that's true. If the author had referenced any of the best practices for this, they wouldn't have ended up with such a bad result.

While that is a possible interpretation, it does seem a bit of a stretch. Are there other publications whose logo is the geographic location that their intended audience happens to inhabit?

The map of Israel/Palestine used as a logo is a well-known symbol for the rejection of any rights of Jews in any part of the current state of Israel.

It is visible on "from the river to the sea" merch and The Hamas logo (whose charter calls for the murder of all Jews wherever they may be in the world, not just the Israeli ones).

The red one, in particular, is used by Islamic Jihad, who have the stated objective of replacing Israel with a sovereign ISLAMIC Palestinian state.

The editor/president of the website(and article author) is vocal(and has even written a book) about his rejection of a two-state solution.

His claim that his support of a one-state solution does not mean the end of Jewish rights and lives in the region is hard to take seriously. The ruling power in Gaza(Hamas) has, in its charter, the stated goal of murdering jews(not just Israeli's) inside and outside of Israel and actively work to carry out that goal.

It's definitely not small but it's a subset of the entire development community. That's not wrong – maybe it allows iterating faster without supporting other languages, for example — but it can also reduce the number of people interested in working on something. Just as a simple example, a Python user can benefit to an improvement in Apache httpd made by a Java, C, PHP, etc. shop but that happens a lot less frequently with Tomcat.
Awesome write-up. I love that they're so open about sharing the speed improvement with the open source community. I've worked in several trading firms where it's just not thinkable to do something like that.

The problem with this is that, even though the Facebook Page was simply mirroring the content on the blog, most of the interactions with actual bands and fans was via the Facebook page, not the blog. I don't really know if the blogpage itself has the same readership; if anything it's the other way round: I'm worried that with the Facebook page gone, people won't know to find the blog. And with the page deleted, I have no visible way of informing my subscribers either.

I did create a 'backup' page on Facebook (here: https://www.facebook.com/Metalised-Life-112985154608128) and announced the hack to people on the 'main' page, but the main page was taken down before people subscribed to the backup. Annoyingly, this announcement was part of the same post announcing the 'best of 2021 metal albums', which got many upvotes and replies from the bands and fans involved, but it's almost as if nobody noticed the part about the hack and the 'backup' page in the post...

You seem to have latched on to the least important part of what I've said. Yes, a centralized database combined with always-on internet access can suffice instead of holographic cards (in the same way that nowadays, police officers don't really need to look at your drivers license - they can just look you up from their car), but that's strictly worse from a privacy/dystopia perspective. And it does not work at all for offline dining.

Holographic cards would actually be better since it doesn't notify a central authority where and when everyone dines. You seem to be comfortable with the idea that "party of 6" sits down, and the waiter spends the next 5 minutes screwing with his phone scanning everyone's (printed?) QR codes and verifying faces. I would rather get covid.

Here in the US, ABC boards do in fact run stings on bars and restaurants to make sure they are checking ids. And yes history has shown that it is absolutely necessary if you want compliance.
Triple A could work as M3AN.
I know this might be a bad analogy, but it was one of the things that went through my mind during all of this as a software engineer:

"We have this bug in production which is a Sev-1. We have a possible fix that won't make things worse we can rollout that should make things better."

Yes, we have all been here where someone did this and it made things worse, but we also have thousands of people looking at this change and been in situations where this was required.

I guess what I'm saying is: The spike protein is in the vaccine and the virus - injecting ourselves with a spike protein to build immunity is likely less impactful than getting the entire virus. If it is truly the spike protein that causes myocarditis, then it causing issues in vaccination is a non-issue. There is a (in my mind high, but we need controlled studies on it) chance that the same people would have gotten myocarditis from Covid. If we can limit the number of other side-effects that people have during the myocarditis then it seems like a win.

I am by no means a virologist or an expert in vaccines, just my thought process.
> The point of masking and being cautious at this point is not to avoid ever catching COVID, because it seems certain now that everyone will catch it at some point. The point is to be the last person to catch it

Great justification for making 5 year-olds wear masks for 6+ hours 5 days a week in school. This makes even more sense for the 5 year old kids that have ESL or Speech Pathology needs.
> In India, the telecom regulatory authority does a great job protecting consumer interests

For years DoT (Dept of Telecommunications) has stifled innovation in VoIP and cloud telephony, mandated surveillance of calls and SMS, invited regulatory capture strangling any chance of ISP / MVNO upstarts, called for ending encrypted communication... but sure: In this one case, they care about the consumer, so everything's fine and dandy.

Also the minor detail that countries with masking cultures - like Japan - have relatively excellent Covid stats with minimal deaths.

Honestly, we're through the looking glass if we're even pretending there's any kind of debate about this.

Masks work for adults. Period. There are tens of papers proving that now. Any good faith web search will find them. For every cherry picked paper "proving" they don't there are ten much better designed studies proving they do.

If masks work for adults, they work for kids - not just to cut spread between kids, but also between kids and adults, and especially between kids and vulnerable adults.

The UK has decided to have an outbreak of political psychosis over this, and there are already significant - double digit - percentages of both teachers and kids off sick with Covid in many schools.

Risks to kids are relatively insignificant compared to the trauma of lost school friends, lost hours from school, lost relatives and - in too many cases - lost parents.

The promotion of irrational and human-hostile anti-masker anti-vaxxer nonsense really needs to stop.

Pro audio applications usually let users install third party plugins distributed as shared libraries. A buggy plugin can crash the host.

Today applications solve this by spawning a daemon to host plugin libs in a separate process, communicating back with the main host via some kind of IPC. It has some performance/latency tradeoffs but it's better than a crash.

The minimum wage is now well under the natural wage floor. In most populated areas $15 an hour is old news, you have to pay $18-$20 if you want someone to show up. Setting a new minimum wage that is still below the natural wage floor won't have much of a effect. It's the sort of policy that feels good but in practice doesn't do much.

It's so hard to get anybody on the phone, it's really not worth even trying.
