This site really does largely veer between Republican and Libertarian depending on the topic, anything involving COVID, 'cancel culture' or 'woke'-ness is a shitshow of ideological talking points that I don't remember being prevalent when I first started reading four or so years ago. It used to have a noticeable techno-libertarianism bent for sure, but you could still discuss the nuances of an issue.

It's worse than Slashdot was at its peak in the early 2000s when it was absolutely full of libertarians and anarcho-capitalists.

> I’m not one for continuing to believe that we have to coddle rogue states by buffer zones. 80 years since ww ii ended and I would have hoped the states changed. Obviously not. If Ukraine wants to be European, let it.

That's all very nice, and no one likes coddling rogue states, but is it better than the alternative, if that alternative is war? That's the dilemma. This kind of "give me liberty or give me death" kind of rhetoric is easy to espouse if you're not the one doing the dying.
In 2010 I first got into Linux because of Microsoft making (what seemed to me at the time to be) user hostile decisions: my netbook came with "windows 7 starter edition", which did not allow you to change the wallpaper. They claimed that this was to accommodate the less powerful hardware of the netbook... but they went out of their way to enforce it. If you found the default wallpaper file and modified it, they would detect it and show a black screen.

Now 12 years later I have many Microsoft accounts, because I don't really use their services, I think they just strongly pushed me into making one when I setup windows laptops over the years. I also probably have one for Skype, I've created a few when playing Halo MCC on a new computer (every damn time it asks me to log in, even if I just want to play single player). Oh and another from when I played Xbox 360 a long time ago. Plus a few from high school when I used MSN messenger.

I've never actually tried to clean this up and merge them, and your comment has scared me from even trying. And more on topic, I'm sad that a game like Minecraft is likely going to be lost in this mess. It's the kind of game that I might open every few years and mess around for an hour. Now it will likely be like my experience when trying to recover my old Microsoft accounts... Extremely painful, mandatory phone number, new login from suspicious location, security questions... Ugh. At least with Minecraft it will be for a game that isn't already tied to another account that I actually use, like steam.

Maybe people don't want their game accounts to be attached to an email account and their OS. Hell, I don't want an account on my OS at all-- what is the benefit, if I don't use Outlook or OneDrive or any of their devices? If anything it's probably a liability, could I get locked out of my own PC if my (otherwise unused) Microsoft account was compromised?
No. China is playing the long game.
They support Russia heavily behind the scenes.

Russia and China have their backs against the wall, and have moved back to back, along with Iran and Pakistan.
It's for this reason I consider being an investor a much stronger position than a founder and orders of magnitude better than an early employee.

As an investor, you have information that only you are founders are privy to.
You can continue drawing a salary in whatever your day job is.
At the end of the day, your loss is limited to the money you put in and the relatively low time investment. A founder gives up all of their time and near term compensation for a lottery ticket. For people already on a good trajectory, anything but a stellar exit is probably a net loss. For early employees, it almost always is a loss.

I can try. In Germany, as a soul proprietor, one can pay himself as much as is available in terms of revenue, minus taxes and costs of doing business. As a private shared company, which is my case, it's a bit different. The compensation of the CEO (myself) needs to be fair to the shareholders and the founders and somehow scientifically balanced (also in terms of what is perceived to be the "correct" compensation for such a role or endeavour, which includes having to answer to everything, government, customers, employees, all the things basically come together from case history and you get a number which is the "seal" for the role. It's interesting, to say the least. I happen to think it actually works.
It's a full-on fork, it hasn't been a drop-in replacement for many years now. MySQL and MariaDB each have many features that the other lacks.

So was Nazi Germany. Everyone there still had to accept thorough "de-Nazification" after WW2, though.

Hi all! We chose HN as the first public introduction to our platform. Community is our focus, and the HN crowd is very much a part of that.

As far as team goes, Enigma is a group of engineers, investigative journalists, data scientists, physicists, and entrepreneurs who have worked across space tech, frontier aviation, data science, and media.

The thread was a story about inmates communicating to people outside prison, then someone saying "I am always shocked to learn just how porous prisons are and why nothing seems to be done about that." I interpreted that as "why isn't anything done about inmates being able to talk to people outside", but I could be wrong.
HN commenters may be surprised to learn Hubs has been around for ~5 years and was built in part to front-run the push for centralized metaverse projects, which may soon mediate much interpersonal interaction. It also can be deployed to AWS and generates revenue for Mozilla.

Here’s a talk I gave years ago laying out the reasons this is important work. Hopefully it can help reduce some of the reactive negativity - you may be convinced to stop thinking these changes aren’t coming, and instead focus on making the best version of the future you can where they do.

We have a pretty complex onboarding process (bug bounty programs for startups), really excited to give this a try.
Apple had a big part in aarch64 being what it is today so I am quite skeptical they'd just jump ship.

How to create an animated Virtual Business Card?
The missing piece of this scenario is your current take-home. If you're pulling in $600K at a BigCo then it's not really reasonable to expect an early founder role to match that compensation and give you substantial (10-20% or more) equity in a new startup. Giving a founder $200K in the early days should be enough to let them focus on the startup and not worry about finances. If someone is in a personal position where something like $200K/year would cause great financial stress, they're probably not a good fit for a high-risk startup founding position anyway.

OTOH, if you were making $200K and the startup insisted you drop to $70K/year, that's just short-sighted on their part. Especially in this generous funding environment it doesn't make any sense to squeeze founders with tiny salaries.

The life stage and family differences are indeed a big gap, but I think the career stage differences would have also been insurmountable. Once you're a decade or two into a career and you have a comfortable position at a big company, it's really difficult to shift back into scrappy startup founder mode.

To be clear: There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking well-paid roles at big companies. It's actually a great option, and it's fantastic that we can get paid so much without taking on the risks of a startup. There's not really a right or wrong answer in this job decision.
In the US, isn't the legality of jammers very questionable? It might be less bad somewhere federally owned, but a state prison interfering with signals might be violating FCC rules.

Alternatively, you could build the prison like a Faraday cage.
Ok, so let's just assume that this is 100% the fault of the EU so we can move past that. What do you propose to do? Stand by and watch while the world burns because we can all pretend it isn't us? Let Putin annex Ukraine, the Baltics next and Poland after that? Or do you think that it will stop with just Ukraine and that that's the price to pay for fuckups?
OpenRegulatory | Person Who Builds Things and Ships Software | Remote | Full-Time | 60-80k € + revenue share | https://openregulatory.com/jobs/

Are you tired of corporate politics, unproductive meetings and repeatedly building stuff which never got shipped? The VC-funded startup chaos?

I certainly was. I got tired of the typical startup game: Lots of funding, a questionable product, no customers, many meetings and countless interruptions. Instead, I wanted to build a company that got back to the basics. Like being profitable and building stuff which customers love and pay for.

And most importantly, I wanted to call the shots on certain things:

We're not using Slack, because Slack interrupts people and is a crappy project management tool (we use Basecamp instead).

We don't care how many hours you work. If you get the job done and respond to messages within a reasonable time frame, that's fine! If you get stuff done faster, take the rest of the day off. I like to take long naps in the afternoon. We're currently on a 4-day workweek (probably forever).

We don't have any sort of corporate spending policy. You'll get a company credit card and full access to our bank account. Buy what you need.

What about you?

You love building things. You've discovered programming which enabled you to build many things fast.

You have a fair amount of experience in different programming languages. After cycling through many new, shiny tech stacks, you've arrived at the conclusion that productivity is at its highest when using old-school, proven technology that gets out of your way. Like Rails. And tailwindcss!

Simply implementing requirements which were brought to you by product managers has become too boring for you. You're looking for opportunities to influence the direction of product development further upstream, getting regular feedback and sometimes talking to customers.

You're looking for a solid job, where you can apply good craftsmanship to a product which users love and pay for.

Your grades and (University) education are nice to know, but ultimately don't matter much.

Pay range (yearly, incl. German tax): 60-80k € + revenue share.

Apply by sending your CV and a short reasoning why you don't want to work for Google to oliver at openregulatory.com.

PS: You'll be our first developer - I'm just a dude who builds stuff in rails, finds customers, hires people and hands out drinks at team events. Like a soccer mom!
Stop responding to comments like this. Like do you actually still believe they care about epistemology? Lol. Ignore the casualties of information war instead.

Speaking as a british programmer, if a given piece of software hasn't made me yell expletives at the screen at least once, I probably haven't done something sufficiently non-trivial with it to count as "used in production" yet.

But then again even by british standards I am unusually sweary when writing code.

What's wrong with this article specifically?

All of the statements in the early paragraphs are factual to my knowledge, and the last section about Putin's next steps are clearly speculation, but evidence is provides to support the claims made.

Lastly, the author seems credible. This is his area of expertise and he's served as ambassador to a co-belligerent in this conflict.

Apache Druid announces new engine
Super interesting news from the OS database world today. Apache Druid, an OLAP database for streaming and batch workloads, has announced a new engine that enables doing ETL directly in the database with SQL, to optionally separate compute/storage for greater elasticity, and run new multi-stage queries with shuffle mesh (rather than scatter/ gather). Git hub issues are in the blog text.
It's limited by how many people have VR rigs in the first place, and by the other things people might do instead if they've already decided they're going to play a multiplayer game on a computer or console, that aren't virtual board games.

I'd rather hop into Minecraft or whatever with some friends, if that's what I'm doing, than card or board game simulator. I'd guess that's a common sentiment.

Further, I'd rather play some very plain poker game (like the old Windows card games) with voice chat on than try to do some VR thing. Most of the benefits, and doesn't monopolize your attention. But that part may just be me.
I've come to believe the opposite. Expecting the whole world to give stuff up is more of a "magic" solution than developing new technology it seems.

I do something like this, but an important caveat is that I don't trust the comments' interpretation of the article, whether positive or negative - I don't assume that I get any accurate representation of the submission from the comments. I learn things from the tangential discussions that spring up from something the article mentions, but take the comments about the article itself with a grain of salt.
