Post quantum resilience absolutely is overkill even if they are secret, since they're not the type of secret you'd care about that for imo. But I suspect "we have a 512bit port space" is intended to make them secrets ie: impossible for an attacker to bruteforce, at which point you run into birthday attacks, so you're talking about the square of the space. Even still 512bit is too high imo, 192bit should be fine.
Is it really the case that nearly every other currency is undervalued? Seems much more plausible that USD is overvalued
I think if we do something similar to blind. One review per company email address it guarantees that each review is from one anonymous person in the company. This prevents smear campaigns and ensures that you get a clear and accurate picture of someone.

I've interviewed a lot of web devs over the years. The distribution on this question is surprisingly bimodal.

One group of web devs is great at picking the right tool for the job. Simple web applications get simple solutions. The complex SPA solutions only get brought out for applications that require it.

The other group of web devs has learned one very specific tool and they want to build their career around that tool. The business requirements don't matter. They're going to use their favorite tool regardless of whether or not it's appropriate. The more complex they can make something, the better they think it will look on their resume.

The latter group can be valuable assets if you know that your application requires a SPA and matches the person's chosen specialty. However, if you're hiring a dev who wants to build complex apps and your company doesn't require complex apps, you're going to end up with unnecessarily complex apps. Then the person will use the complex app to boost their resume and leave for another company.

Fortunately, it's not too hard to differentiate between the two groups at interview time.
The last point is extra painful because it causes errors that are difficult to reproduce locally (even when using runtime interface emulator)

Is the client an established business or just one guy financing a dream?

If the client is an established business, don't fret: vendors changing rates is a normal part of business. Just inform them that as of X date, your new rate for consulting work is XXX per hour and ask them to confirm receipt of that email in writing. I'd say that 2 weeks advance notice of the rate change would be more than sufficiently courteous.

If the client is just one guy or something, I'd say that raising rates would be fine too: but maybe give them a bit more lead-time on the change: maybe closer to a month advance notice or something and make a point of mentioning that you're giving him extra time to prepare. And as always, get confirmation of the rate change in writing.
The South co-opted the flag as a similar symbol of "opposing the government" like the Revolutionaries had, but in their case it was to oppose the abolition of slavery.

It's fine, you can fly whatever flag you want for whatever reason you want, just be aware that the literal worst people in the country are flying the same one and that it was the rallying symbol for slavers.

Our economy is energy, and currently the vast majority of the energy comes from hydrocarbons. We simply cannot scale renewables up high enough, fast enough, to avoid catastrophe without a change in live style so severe that most people would over throw governments in protest.

TI-89 Graphing Calculator. This is the perfect answer for you. It's portable. It's kid-sized. It's useful. It's what I learned to program on 20 years ago. The hardware and software architecture are positively ancient, in a good way, yet it's still sold and used today. Has its own BASIC. Can be programmed in C to the bare metal. There's an active hacking community and a good library of software and tools, but no commercial app store so all it's all hobbyist quality and it's feasible for your kid to contribute something meaningful that will actually get users, like a version of their favorite board game or something.

The images are better that I expected.
The ‘FLAIR like’ image is not particularly FLAIR like. FLAIR are nicer to look at when fat saturated (not everyone agrees with that), but that’s probably not feasible at that field strength and adding scan time would be a problem on these long sequences.
Voxel sizes of 2x2x10 are pretty terrible resolution, but if the alternative is nothing, I guess that’s ok.
The static field is so low, I’m impressed it works at all.

It was a six sigma nightmare come to life and missed the point so profoundly I wish I could find it again to use as an example of how easily Deming is misunderstood.

Who said anything about "anonymous groups"?

What happened with the idea of family-owned businesses, local communities, cooperatives? Have millennials become that alienated from their immediate environment?

Is it so hard to conceive of a world where a small-medium business can "run their own bank" so that any of its employees/contractors/suppliers have accounts at their local "crypto bank" to get paid? Or a farmers cooperative that providers sales/distribution services to its members and uses a Hub20 instance to manage payouts, or provide mutual insurance services?

You would hope so but it doesn't.

Think about how many people drive half a mile to the shop. They don't care about hidden costs even though all of those short trips might add up to $50 a month that they didn't need to spend.

Visibility of prices is OK on a Smart Meter but it is still disconnected from where energy is used e.g. not obvious that having your 80" TV on all night uses up a tonne of energy although only a little at a time.

And then you have a lot of people, as mentioned elsewhere, who are paying because their landlord won't spend the money on improving the insulation on the house. You can't always vote with your feet so although some people can and do sort things out, a lot of people don't.

Then they complain that the government should help them out!
I need to research more about the vaccine, but as far as I know the issue with HIV is that it not only injects genetic code into cells like most viruses, it integrates into the DNA of your T-Cells. Even if you eliminate all viruses, your own cells will produce more from scratch because they blindly follow the blueprint.

So I really want to learn more about how this vaccine works.
Right, but the point is that it's only more profitable to open more oil and gas extraction facilities without repairing the broken one because there's demand for oil and gas in the first place.

As an example, about 20% of the emissions in the US stem from residential energy usage (0). Blaming energy companies for these emissions is ignorant of the fact that it's supplying the demand of the American citizens who are using that energy in the first place - and while shifting that blame off to some faceless corporation or billionaire villain might result in some good policy decisions to reduce emissions (for example, making gas and oil so expensive to extract or use for energy production that residential energy providers switch to renewables) but it goes too far from absolving consumers from the fact their demand creates the market that generates emissions in the first place - which leads to bad policy decisions like leaving homes to use natural gas for heating and cooking.

All I'm saying is that when it comes to emissions and climate change we need to look at it holistically, rather than come up with these mythical comic book villains.

> SPAs are not designed for developer productivity

Unless your app is big enough to have separate developers/teams for backend and frontend. In this case I'm relatively convinced by the argument that it allows you to decouple the two, so that all they need to agree on is the API.

Do you disagree? If so, how come?
Have you tried to implement interaction-rich applications such as calendars or text editors with server-side rendering? You won't be able to recreate the UX an SPA can afford, regardless of revenue.
tl;dr price controls didn't work (again) surprising no one who understands anything about how supply and demand work. If there's an underlying reason why costs are rising then a price control is just a band aid solution as the underlying cost pressure typically doesn't go away.

The privatization of energy companies in the developed world to me is a giant failure and a classic example of how public-private partnerships like this just end up privatizing the profit while underwriting the losses and it's sold to us on supposed "efficiency" gains.

If you think about it energy consumption is basically a hugely regressive tax. The cost of heating 2000 square feet doesn't change much depending on if you're poor or a billionaire.

I'd honestly support nationalizing these companies, cover grid connection through taxation and provide resident individuals (not corporations) a rebate for $X every year in their tax return to cover expected usage.
Economically left wing parties haven't been popular in the UK since Atlee. The UK public hold fairly economic left positions when polled, but that doesn't seem to ever translate into voting for left wing parties. Corbyn was deeply unpopular and much of the reason for that was he was seen as far too left wing (nationalise Greggs etc.).

There have been three elected labour leaders since 1950: Wilson, Callaghan and Blair. Wilson was the most left wing of the bunch, and most would consider him soft left at best. Blair was fairly centrist or even centre-right by historical standards and, until he destroyed his reputation with the Iraq War, was likely one of the most popular leaders Labour has ever had. I think if it wasn't for the war, he would still be held in extremely high regard.

I'm not even sure Labour is or ever has been fundamentally a socialist party. They are a trade unionist party, and the types of people in unions in the UK aren't especially socialist. Atlee was, in some ways, a deviation from the norm, in a highly unusual historical context.

The most popular prime ministers of the latter half of the 20th century are arguably Churchill and Thatcher.

Actually, the Guardian headline says “identified” too, because both of them understand that identification is not necessarily factual. Their headline is saying a fight/row broke out over someone identifying it as such. That can be true without it actually being that ship. Like identifying an unknown particle as something and ultimately being wrong. It doesn’t mean saying someone identified it as such is a certainty of identity.

No reason to go after OP here at all. You’re misunderstanding the nuance of the verb “identify” here. There’s an implied “someone has” behind the “identified” in this usage.
Guessing it was meant to go on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30205232 ? No idea how it ended up here
Working in a Rails based startup that took the same approach as OP, then at one point understood that we need React in the frontend, and a few years later the development process is a pain:

* Weird pockets of react everywhere (data-something-something) with tons of JSON just being interpolated into attributes.

* Webpacker and other rails magic is required for building the frontend

* Frontend and backend are tightly coupled. Default error handling is the Rails error view which certainly isn't user friendly.

* snake_case_for_data_from_ruby in frontend code

* The app feels more sluggish than if it were a SPA.

What I've learned from all this is that sometimes it's better to take the less opinionated road (SPA in this case), so you can be more specific later.
If the automation can't weed out malicious scams and phishing ads that are obvious to a human, perhaps they're not doing what needs to be done "at scale".

How to level up as a Data Engineer
You can believe whatever you'd like (no objective facts nor sources were provided, so they are assumed as irrational beliefs only), but you still can't refute the fact America lets people own firearms to defend themselves, while Canada does not recognize this human right.
Depends on the situation.

If we're faced with a situation in which we can collectively give up 1% of our lives to save 5%, I'd say that's worth mandating.

1% for 2%, I'd grit my teeth and say we need pretty solid data on that 2%.

1% for 1%, nah.

I don't think coronavirus was even close to that, if you just look at the full lockdown and the reduced ones (e.in the UK and ignore all of the associated mitigations, that was ~1% of our collective lifespan given up. Did it save 1% of people?

I don't think it was even close. And that's not even taking into account opportunity cost. Most of the 'savings' here comes from the fact that by locking down you're also barricading the vulnerable away.
IIRC, its still "high culture" in Japan to have custom seals / stamps made to represent your family.

You can't "stamp" an email with the family seal. You can stamp a piece of paper and then fax it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mon_(emblem)

Crests, coats of arms, flags... these things kinda-sorta died out in America. (Indeed: people came to America to escape the Nobility's culture from Europe). But Japan has a lot of families with "samurai" lineage, the old Nobles from 500 years ago... as well as a connection to their families crests, emblems, flags, etc. etc.

Culturally, its important to at least enough of them, to keep those traditions alive. Fax works for that. Email doesn't seem to quite do the family seal/mon justice.

After all, if you've got this stamp that's been in the family for the past 300 years, you're gonna want to keep using it for tradition's sake. (Maybe not the actual 300-year-old family relic, but replications of it on modern rubber).

I built a product and we bet on Ember back when it, angular and react all looked like top choices. I’d say one of the biggest failures was that it didn’t provide clean upgrades We got stuck with 3.something and no clear path forward. Second, it wanted everything to be Emberized. I forget what exactly it was, but we struggled to wrap other tools in service containers so that they could be injected into our code. I think it was probably Google JS APIs like Maps, which at the time wanted you to load the toolkit their way. Ember-data probably was the biggest mistake to adopt. The amount of time I spent trying to fool some outdated JSON serializer in Rails into embedding something the way ember data wanted was a huge waste. The only other JS I’ve used seriously is Backbone, and once I was waste deep in ember I had major regrets that I didn’t choose it instead.
Yep, it's grainy / pixelated but it's not like I need to read fine print to do that sort of task. I did it as a novelty, but idk I could see myself doing that sort of thing again.
Good article, ones like these need to become the canonical reviews. Lots of stuff for the Starlink engineers to be embarrassed about.

But the real embarrassment is the satellites. They should been covered in an antireflective coating, the kind you can get for $20 at any hardware store. But the engineers didn't bother, even though they knew about Iridium flares:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_flare

Why would they make such a simple, obvious mistake? Let's look at some options:

A) They didn't know (casts doubt on the competence of the engineers and the adequacy of their engineering process)

B) They couldn't solve it (I just did, this is a red herring)

C) They didn't care (casts doubt on their relationship with science, environmentalists and members of the public who don't want to see satellites when they look at the stars)

D) They wanted people to see the satellites in the sky as free advertising (ding ding)

Corporate greed runs the show now. And other countries will copy this bad behavior because once again, a US corporation didn't lead by setting a good example.

If we want to see real change in the world, we need to start by NOT supporting bad actors. Don't buy Starlink. Tell your friends why.
What does it mean for a body to be "mine?" As a materialist, I accept that my body is an assemblage of physical influences. I have no reason to doubt that it has as much self-control as water flowing down a hill. So - does water flowing down a hill have a perspective? Where is it located? It doesn't have a nervous system to blame things on. Is it infinitely divisible? Is it distinct from me? If I pour water from one cup into another, can I say that I'm any less the water as I am my hands, even though I'm controlling the water, getting feedback from the water, subjecting the water as much to my nervous system as I am subjecting my hand itself? What about when I shake your hand? What if I'm blind and I ask you what you can see, then react based on that?
