Did you read the article. Absolutely nothing says it was a 'hit piece'. In fact, it appears to have been pulled because of poor editorial oversight. The documentary as filmed made no mention of the fact that this guy set up his own coin and crypto fund, which was shut down and left investors in the lurch.

> The Guardian asked the BBC if it was confident in his claimed financial returns and questioned why the programme’s promotional material did not mention that Hassan’s cryptocurrency Orfano was abruptly shut down in October, with many unhappy investors claiming they were left out of pocket as a result.
Not really, wealth is usually a measure of assets rather than income.

Ah, very nice. Clementine is great, agreed.
Someone crashed my car recently. I had to buy another one (the other was impossible to repair).

I ended buying a used base model Mitsibishi Lancer, for the same price a new Mitsibishi Lancer EVO used to cost 3 years ago. And I only bought that car specifically, because it was the cheapest sedan I could find, a Honda Civic or a Toyota Corolla was literally double the price.

The reason for that? The chip shortage. While shopping for cars I even found a guy that sold his Lancer dashboard and put in its place a crappy one. Then when checking if I should buy a new HB20, I found out they are coming with crappy dashboards and the ones from 2019 are not avaialble anymore... The reason for that, again is the chip shortage, coloured dashboards with complex functions require more chips, so in case of new cars, the manufacturers are shipping them with simpler monochromatic dashboards with less functions, and some used car owners have been literally selling their dashboards to richer people, because they now are crazy expensive.

Meanwhile the government of my country has been terrified of truckers, the truckers been giving them a hard time, specially because of the prices of trucks, both used and new, they are saying that trucking is not profitable anymore and want the government to give them money.

Know why trucking is not profitable anymore? Well... the chip shortage made trucks get crazy expensive.

The government also was going to switch the machines used for voting, to make election more secure and fair (the new machines would allow better methods of recounting not vulnerable to hacking), but this was aborted, because new machines had their price skyrocket... because of the chip shortage.

The list goes on, the chip shortage is not just causing inflation or making people not afford a new laptop, it is literally disrupting production, changing products, changing people behaviour, causing social changes, causing LEGAL changes... The chip shortage literally is affecting how the leader of 250 million people is chosen!
The french service should expose user information to the French government either. If the government has a public warrant for that information, then opinions might differ about whether or not it is legitimate for the website operators to oblige.
I have 21 unread messages for today in the "Family Text" which is a sprawling MMS conversation with relatives where not everyone gets the image others are talking about, and the messages don't always arrive in sequence if at all.

We should really be doing this another way, so yes, please kill MMS.
> Wouldn't there be other ways for you to prove you were a "Level 4" or whatever at Apple and not an associate? An offer letter from Apple?

Having gone through this with several employers, the largest company doing this verification is HireRight. HireRight is BEYOND incompetent at every single level. They refuse documentation such as offer letters on company letterhead to prove a title. The only documentation they accept from applicants is highly sensitive tax documentation from the IRS, which of course does not contain titles but incidentally reveals compensation details they can hoover up into their database but is not relevant to the purpose they were hired by your future employer to do.

If you think credit reporting agencies in the US are Machiavellian and maliciously incompetent, wait until you deal with employment verification firms, they're worse and often the same corporate entities (as noted in the article, another large one is WorkNumber owned by Equifax). These entities put most of the work onto the candidate, display no competence or care for accuracy whatsoever, and generally deliver intentionally misleading or inaccurate results to your future employer. It's so pervasive, that my own complaints to my recruiter were heeded and understood because in their words "oh their reports are always wrong about employment history, we only pay attention to the criminal background check part."

So, in short, no you can't simply provide a valid offer letter showing the title you were hired with to prove that title or to prove a promotion.
Speed limits also vary, cars and technology gets better and even minor things like weather can absolutely affect times. Sure, COVID changed the circumstances, but this is an highly unregulated race with very varying circumstances anyway.
Our blog webserver is fine. What kind of error did you see?
That would count clicks, not conversions such as downloads or signups that can require going on another page or doing some other action. Not everything can be put on one page.

Also, Google Adwords counts conversions for visits for 30 days. Which means on the 1st visit from the ad campaign, there can be no immediate conversion (and that's OK). But if the same person returns to the website (not from the ad) and downloads/signs up that would be counted as conversion attributed to the ad.
My virtual server is $1.67 a month (buyvm.net)

My home firewall blocks all traffic except for incoming SSH from 3 IP addresses in the world. One of those is my virtual server.

If I'm in a hotel with my laptop I run the first command to set up an SSH tunnel to my "home" computer through the cloud virtual server. That listens on my laptop to port 8888 and forwards it through the cloud virtual server to my home computer's SSH daemon listening on port 22

ssh -X -f -C -L 8888:home.mydomain.com:22 -N user@cloud.mydomain.com

ssh -p 8888 user@localhost
Ah, that's a great idea, thanks!
This fits cleanly into my recent hiring experiences. I can't remember a new employer ever contacting an old employer to verify employment. I've worked in SF for 20+ years now... and currently work for an SF based financial entity. They did a background check, as is normal in this industry, but that was it.

In fact, I've always been prepared to say "no" to contacting previous employers, as it's just annoying. And as someone who has hired hundreds of people, I've never been called to verify someone's previous employment.

It may happen out there, but from my own experience, it feels like an edge case.
So then what, you get curators like Google who become super powerful? Let governments manage it?
For me, even visiting an office once or twice a year by plane is enough to make this important. I also have knee issues. I really can't tolerate being jammed into a regular economy seat for any length of time.

I would also note that premium economy is usually 30-60% more than an economy seat. Typically this amounts to maybe $150-300 per trip, so I'm not asking for a huge amount of money here!

My impression is this is really just to have some sort of comparable feature to deno. You may think this somehow is more of a vulnerability, but the reality is the npm registry is already fairly insecure, we've seen npm packages get hijacked regularly.

This also adds less dependence on npm, and maybe with all the packages that get hijacked there, this could be a reasonable move.

Conversely, I think it's unhelpful to excuse away inflation as supply/demand issue and explain that if you just exclude all the things people buy, inflation really isn't that bad. Inflation in the 70's was also caused by supply/demand issues and problems with supply chains (that's what an oil shock is).

Obviously the specifics determine the appropriate response, but they don't invalidate the headline number. That's the same logic the inflation panic folks used to pretend there was high inflation when there wasn't.
I guess it depends what "anonymised IP address" means. If it's still possible to correlate data from visitors across different websites, they might as well log IP addresses directly.
You are missing the context.

Privacy-respecting analytics should be self-hosted. No one's arguing against an average business using an analytics service, but that shouldn't be bundled with any "privacy" monickers.

If Simple Analytics were pitched as "not a Google Analytics", this would've been perfectly fine. But they insist on the privacy angle and it just demonstrates they don't grok what tracking concerns are about.
This isn't even a story of success though. What due diligence did the BBC do to ensure he actually made that money and that he was using the methods claimed?

There are lots of people in social media who pose in front of expensive cars and with designer bag in order to sell their crypto or forex trading training courses. Most of course don't make their money from trading, but from commissions paid by platforms for winding in suckers.

I also changed my mind about advertising, a few years ago. I used to not want to use an ad blocker, due to my love of defaults (one extra thing to install, messes with the page possibly breaking it etc.) but also so that I could effortlessly support the content I was consuming. But the online advertising industry has gone too far and for me at least, I don't think there is coming back. Too much manipulation, too much tracking, too many obnoxious ads, auto-playing videos, outright scams and so on. I will block any ad I can. If too many people do it and the outlet I am reading / watching videos of can't no longer afford to produce content, they can open up donations. If they still can't support the effort on donos, then I think it's time to close shop. I feel like the reality is, someone else will step in. There are a lot of passionate people willing to put content up online just for the feeling of helping others and getting their work recognized. I am happy for every one of those people who can make it their business and scale their operation up, truly. But I do not feel obliged to keep supporting them being able to produce online works as a business by giving away my privacy and sanity through being subjected by awful ads run by ad networks who think my online data is theirs and that it hasn't made its way to their database yet is a bug they need to fix.
> Also source code is pointless without dev(s)

Given the number of people still interested in Winamp, I'm sure there would be people willing to work on it if it were open-sourced.

This is in general not true and German government departments share data with different departments all the time without explicit consent of the affected citizen. This is also not a good example as there are additional legal restrictions for government departments which businesses don't need to obey.
>The governments today have way more money on their hands don't they? Especially with the insane taxation rates we see. You allude to this point when you mention secular welfare systems. But history shows otherwise when Islam was applied.

Yes and I think the level of money and trust the government holds is a source of massive failure. I think those practicing Islam should be free to distribute their Zakat directly to poor or their select organizations that aid poor, rather than being forced to give it to a central authority. Otherwise one central authority has a monopoly on distribution of Zakat, which can lead to many inefficiencies and failures.

>One of the categories of people who are eligible to receive Zakat, are those whose hearts are inclined toward Islam. Other than that, I don't think non-Muslims receive it. That being said, poor and needy non-Muslims are definitely eligible for charity (Sadaqah), and it is the responsibility of a functioning government to ensure that its population is well taken care of. Islam guarantees the rights of non-Muslims, and is very strict about it.

Again I think it's wonderful that people are offered this kind of charity. I'm a little skeptical that the system under the caliphate could have prevented all poverty or that the poverty that remained wasn't solved by collecting Jizya from non-muslims and then distributing Zakat only to those whose hearts are inclined toward Islam. I admit I do not understand much of the history of Muslim Caliphates or nations, so I'm unable to really ascertain where islamqa.info gets its source from, but I doubt we have very good record of income distributions under this caliphate. But hey, I don't have any proof that there were poor, so maybe it's true.

I do thank you for digging up your source in this matter, and it is interesting to note some points on records of history.

> Ah I see. It's prohibited in Islam to hold someone's money against their will, so there goes that :)

A reasonable prohibition, one I extend to involuntary taxes and forced centrally collected charity.

Thank you for your viewpoint here, as it's one I rarely see living in the west.
Right, the attention is only valuable as a way to get to your money. If we somehow eliminate all of the cognitive biases, it would seem to be better[0] to just pay with the same amount of money. That would free up a bunch of attention that was being destroyed to redirect the flow of money. That attention could be used to do self-directed research into products and services that you might value ("pull advertising"). On net, this would be far less predatory and more pleasant.

Of course, we can't somehow eliminate all of the cognitive biases involved. Pretending we can leads to ludicrous conclusions like mine here: obviously the world is never actually going to work in this way. I think the closest we might get would be to clean up certain types of predatory advertising, maybe starting with anything aimed at young children. Which is of course what most of the world has been trying (and, to a limited extent, succeeding at) for decades.

[0]- There is a credible argument here that the advertising model allows people with more money to subsidize people with less money, but since we have a magic bias-removal wand in this hypothetical, it's still more efficient to just do that directly.
And major crisis, including energy, does that.
The fundamental issue here is probably sharing with a different nation. If google would be german, they would have no problems with it.
"in any project that's meant to grow and last"

I specified what I am talking about. Weekend projects are not even a contention point. People code them in Brainfuck and we all have a laugh about it. It's the stuff that end up at the job that frustrate us where you end up assigned to a 100k (or even just 10k) lines of javascript inferno hell. Because some dev thought he can develop "faster" in Javascript.
Hilarious article. "Why I changed my mind about advertising: I decided I wanted to make money off ads"
Agreed, although Switch uses NVidia Tegra, not AMD this generation.
Actually, yes, you can basically shrug it off. It rarely poses any issue for people and the stigma around it is worse than the disease.

I remember reading that the number one cancer ~100 years ago (e.g 1920's era) was stomach cancer.

The thinking was that everyone ate pickled or canned foods due to a lack of refrigeration. This in turn led to the stomach cancer.

I mention this in conversation when people talk about food being "better" back in the day.

It's also a reminder that "it's not the poison, it's the dose". Fermented/pickled foods are probably good for your gut biome up to some threshold but then can begin to have negative effects.
I'd like to see how much of the money went to individuals vs the amount captured by the finance industry from Quantitative Easing and the other more targeted programs.
I like to call them "double-barreled numbers". I never liked the term "imaginary", because that gives mystical connotations and even hamper understanding, in my opinion.

Within that specific subset, I'd agree he has. Thanks.
"Why is it legal" is the wrong question. There is nothing wrong with freedom. You already know this. The problem is the lack of competition.

What I don't like about cryptocurrencies are the mining methods that are all "fastest gun in the west" and/or "I got lucky - gimme coins!"

"Public" tracking of transactions is interesting - but gets to be unwieldy very quickly

There probably ought to be a mix of "everybody has/can verify/sees every transaction" and "no one cares that THIS cryptocoin bought a donut 8 years ago - get over yourself already"

I would like to see a mechanism of aging-out transactions after X period of time, or X number of transactions, or some combination of the two

There also needs to be a way to penalize hoarders - if cryptocurrencies are supposed to be CURRENCY, they need to be in circulation. Artificially removing currency form circulation as some kind of "investment" technique hurts the currency as a whole (especially with capped currencies like Bitcoin).

Using "traditional" currency as an example, when you deposit your money in a bank, it doesn't stay there - it keeps moving around[0]. Money that gets stuffed into a mattress, on the other hand, intrinsically loses value (and not merely because of inflation) because it's not being used. Additionally, money that's hoarded becomes a risk to the hoarder - have a house fire? It's gone. Someone breaks into your root cellar where you cleverly disguised your stash in empty pickle jars? Gone. With no recourse.

The same happens with cryptocurrencies that stagnate. I know I have a couple bitcoin lying around on a harddrive somewhere. That I can never access. Because I lost the wallet access code. Yes, it's my fault for forgetting. But they might as well not exist, since they're inaccessible. My flub hurt the entire Bitcoin ecosystem (to some degree) because they can never again be circulated.

In your scenario your manager appears to be your adversary and not your manager. Those comments are what I would expect from a stakeholder, but not a manager. Your manager should provide a unified front to business and senior management. You two should agree on the correct approach. If your manager doesn't believe that your team should build things correctly and minimise technical debt then he's a terrible manager and you should leave.

Your entire scenario would be moot if you practised scrum and estimated the work effort as a team. Your manager might get a vote, but that's it.
