To be fair, in this case, the author was tracking his KPIs, and those suggested that all was hunky dory, but what he wasn’t tracking were the actual payments being received against invoices that never converted to an open state. In this case, the invoices were left in a draft state on Stripe’s side. And who could’ve expected that they’d need to occasionally check for draft invoices?

It seems like it wasn’t made clear in the docs that invoices aren’t finalized in these circumstances until later.
But the catch-22 is that, if it actually becomes popular for fixing the problem of currency controls and sanction lists, governments have the ability to impose a lot more control on crypto exchanges to prevent this kind of use.

Maybe at that point there would be two worlds of crypto: you can trade it on the above-the-board exchanges, but can’t move those coins out onto the blockchain in any meaningful amounts. Or you can have it on the blockchain, but you can’t convert it to USD/EUR in any meaningful amounts unless you find a private buyer.

In fact these separate worlds already exist — it’s not like most Coinbase users ever interact with the actual chains, they just trade inside Coinbase’s SQL database. But a lot of the appeal of crypto is about theoretical possibilities, and government regulation can put a real damper on that enthusiasm.
Bingo. Many people at a certain point have figured out they’re fine (or have to) be a rat, but they’ve had enough of the race.

> I remember how utterly contrived it seemed to me, like the posts were intended to spur a certain idea in the minds of his followers.

I think that’s just textbook political ideologue.
I got caught doing this, but yes, I tried many times.
It gave me hope for humanity in 2016, it gives me hope for humanity now. Not totally sure why.
That's true! And it's very likely that meditation is part of that. On the other hand, most people believe in unprovable supernatural beings.

One of the most popular belief systems today posits that incorporeal consciousnesses with names like "California", "Ukraine", and "Google" are the causes of most everyday events, although when you investigate sufficiently you always find that whatever physical doing is attributed to "California" or "Google" is actually done by an ordinary, corporeal human being, like a Scooby-Doo villain. Nevertheless, people adhering to this belief system commonly become very angry when you claim that "Google" exists only in their imaginations.
Strongly disagree. There's more to meditation than just sitting quietly. I'd say it's more analogous to breaking out of a sandboxed VM and gaining read/write access to the underlying OS and kernel.

My personal anecdote - I developed a difficult-to-control, anxiety-inducing thought* while dabbling in meditation a couple of years ago. I experienced a week or two worth of extreme anxiety, and had a panic attack. To this day, the obsessive thought is still with me and causes occasional distress. I can't say with certainty that the meditation practice was the cause, but the timing coincides, and I've never experienced anything like this prior to the meditation practice.

* not exactly a thought, but I'm not quite sure what to call it. It's more of an involuntary, difficult-to-control channeling of my focus/perception toward sensations which I perceive as uncomfortable and disturbing.
Having worked in large buildings in fortune 500 companies, I love the ability to be able to find a bathroom stall that is unoccupied without having to walk around for 40 minutes.
So, who's the manager's manager? At some point, there has to be some accountability. It's not remote work's fault.
I don't speak for GP but I think they mean "clearer picture" as in: literally live-streaming the frontline, in HD, worldwide.
I heard Slay the Spire was also ported to Nintendo Switch. Any idea how they did it?
I remember during the dot-com bubble of the late 90's there was talk of all the malls closing due to online shopping. At the time I thought it was silly, people want to get out, it's not all about just buying stuff online, etc. In the short term I seemed correct. Then eventually the great mall crash happened and concrete ghost towns were everywhere. Though I tend to be biased towards working in an office for my own personal reasons, I can't help but wonder if we're only half a generation away from bigger changes.
They are not a substitute for family or friends. I enjoy my co-workers' company and our little chats and social interactions provide a lot of value to me personally. I don't know why you feel forced to choose between your family and your co-workers. Seems like you've experienced some toxic/bad workplace environments.
I should add, as many others have pointed out, that moving to use app passwords is a _much_ easier solution in the short term (how long they will be supported I have no idea) so I suggest you try that first.

This should have been the first thing I tried but, rather unhelpfully, the Google page where you create app passwords says "You'll only need to enter it once so you don't need to remember it" and later "You won't need to remember it, so don't write it down or share it with anyone.". This suggested to me that these passwords are single use (i.e. a OTP) but testing suggests that this is not the case. Also, whilst using app passwords requires that you enable 2FA on the account, they do _not_ require you to enter the 2nd factor when logging in with the app password (obvious in hindsight, but not made clear by the documentation).

I just tested that these work even when "less secure apps" is disabled at the domain admin level (and by extension the individual account). Indeed, after enabling 2FA for the account the option to enable/disable "less secure apps" is removed. So it seems that you can either have no-2FA + (optional) less-secure apps OR 2FA + app passwords.

Not everyone has a long commute, nor does everyone have a commute they dislike. For example many people like biking to work, or reading on transit.
Apart from you, are there other PsyOp people on HN? Any operations? If not, why not?

Also, how big is podcasting and youtube?

Also, what sort of tasks are "new recruits" put on when they don't have much experience?

This is a fascinating AMA :)
> I think the one thing that has unequivocally been proven though is that it works.

It certainly works in the short term, in an emergency situation where everybody in a sector is operating under the same conditions out of necessity.

Whether it has long-term detrimental effects remains to be determined. My team at a small-medium company that a roughly 1-day-per-week work from home policy before 2020 certainly feels less cohesive, efficient, and innovative than it did in the past.
Isn't that equivalent to dirty/clean USD? Except that laundering becomes pretty much impossible due to the blockchain.
I'm working on a proof of concept React-ish UI lib powered by WASM. My goal was to make it truly cross platform, for example it should generate ui markups on a headless server as well
(Note: I'm not sure if you're suggesting there is a "you" or not.) While I'm of course a mass of stuff that feels and thinks, I really do feel like I'm watching a pleasant movie filmed through my eyeballs. I feel like that about half the time. The other half, I forget, and live "normally". I also don't feel like I'm part of some interconnected world organism or anything like that.

To the ~5 people I've described that to, they mostly show some kind of alarm, like they didn't realize I held such dangerous views. I guess in some people the same worldview might manifest as a sociopath personality that excuses reckless behavior, or a person with no drive that wastes their days away. In my case, I'm hypersensitive about harming people, I'm fairly risk averse, and I'm borderline obsessed with keeping high "productivity".

I often tell myself I'm smart and that I deserve my very comfortable life, but I also have to wonder if something about my brain chemistry or environment makes me enjoy reading HN and coding all day, while others hate that. So I do find the narrative shifts from "I accomplished X because I decided to" and becomes "I spent time on X, and I'm glad that happened, it was fun, and I'm glad I find that fun".

I hope I'm not getting too off topic given the original article. Self/consciousness/free-will debates can go on forever, so my ideal outcome is somebody says "yeah, that is pretty weird, pretty magical, oh well!". But more often it's met with "ah, don't be so negative, you can control yourself, if you try!".
The main crypto exchanges blocked the accounts of sanctioned individuals, does that hamper their ability to use their crypto assets constructively?
I recently took part in a scrum planning meeting where the company mandated everyone to do it on site. The chaos was a stark contrast to anything we'd had virtually before that...

People suddenly forgot they could look things up on their computers, stopped using established business vocabulary, and even small things like speaking one at a time were lost on them.

During the meeting, someone decided to doodle on the paper board in the meeting room (vs. using the usual C4 format we have been using on Miro boards), creating confusion regarding what "this" and "that" block represents. There were no meeting minutes, and none of the conceptual decisions from the meeting ended up on the wiki...

Of course, many of these can be resolved with better discipline, but it really feels like the medium invites chaos. That same team works very effectively in virtual meetings, with the ability to supplement the discussion with well-thought messages via Slack or Wiki comments. Meeting recordings and audio transcripts help for better meeting notes and recording the meeting conclusions and outputs in a way that's transparent and searchable.

Also ... gifies, how can anyone stand a 1h meeting without emojis and gifies is beyond me :).
Most employment contracts in the US (sorry for the US centric bias, I don't know where you're from!) are at-will, which means either party can walk away at any time for any reason. That doesn't stop us from forming deep friendships and relationships. Its the human condition.

I agree, it's surprisingly usable given how complicated parsing can be! I think the key to its ease of use, at least for me, is that you can unit test the individual parsers. You can program very iteratively, building it piece by piece and testing as you go.

This is much easier than trying to design the entire parser on a whiteboard/paper and implement it in one big go, I think.
UHM.. AMA? What do you do / what have you built?
I think lots of companies compensate for take-home tests (as we are doing now). Also I think the willingness to do a take-home is in itself a good filter (but you gotta make it interesting, as parent said)
So the school bombings are easily justified. I saw two separate pictures on Reddit yesterday where Ukrainian soldiers are prepping in a school gym (think it was a basketball court). Like selfie shots from a Ukrainian soldier.

Look Im pro Ukraine. Out of interest I joined a bunch of Telegram groups that are “pro Russian” to see how both sides see the conflict. There is a lot of information you’re missing out on if you just look at mainstream news. Like the school thing. Maybe I’m being redpilled. It was a weird eye opening experience for me.

Edit: here it is https://www.reddit.com/r/warinukraine/comments/t52e62/ukrain...

There’s also another video of a school attack aftermath. Dead Ukrainian solders in the school. Looks like it was close quarter combat.
There's reports reservists were called up for "3-5 days of training" and pointed towards Ukraine.

And here I was thinking the Ukrainians had cleverly found a way to damage tires when inadequate maintenance was the culprit.

Let's not forget to thank Xi for asking Putin to wait until after the Olympics giving time for the mud season to take hold.
Not sure what the J was for. Internally it’s been IHM since I joined. “Inventory Health Management” is a backronym. I won’t spill the - albeit boring - beans on where IHM actually comes from.
I agree the situation has changed. I think it’s fair to say his summary of the situation was correct in 2015+, and that the underlying facts and desires of all countries involved have not notably changed in 8 years, other than Russia invading (as I guessed earlier, they are forced to play the worst hand).

I’m not sure the most recent election map is important. The competition was an independent, and the current president passed a bill that removed minority rights in 2014 to limit Russian influence.

Regarding Donbas, I have no comment because I think the order of events is very important there but I’m not an expert.

As for your last paragraph, you’ve lost me. Mearsheimers video is not a conspiracy to explain away current events. You realize Putin is capable of saying one thing and doing another? Or making up an irrelevant excuse to appease his citizens?

I don’t think you understand that empires don’t care about other countries’ rights when they feel threatened. It is the US and Russias right to determine the fate of Ukraine because they have the power and motivation to make that decision, despite it not being the moral or fair. The world isn’t a fair place.
While it might be fast, it feels you’re like using Rails app with turbo links. Page loads. Feels barely interactive.

Compare native Mail app and Hey. If anything should be a SPA, it’s an email app.

Also who cares how much kb of JavaScript your mail app uses? It’s completely wrong metric to optimize for an app someone uses every day, multiple times a day and likely has the app open all the time.

(Also haven’t heard people using Hey much since the launch)
They're labeled as Norfolk Naval Shipyard. Uncertain if it's just an error in the map or if they're assuming some missiles will miss.

I played with Swing a bit and really liked the control it provides. Is there any book that you recommend other than Filthy Rich Clients by Chet Haase to develop complex Swing application or to pick up good habits?

Is swing still developed and is there any reason I should pick JavaFX over Swing?
SPAs are great when you're actually making an app.

It's a little less great when you're just putting a browser in the browser so they can browse while they browse.

Even then sometimes it works when the content is more app like and you don't want to set up a bunch of js and websocket connections with every load.

Maybe we need some new easy to use APIs for JS that persists it's state between pages.
>priority is something to be given

No this is a bad way to think of it (regardless of its the legal reasoning in the UK), and is what leads to unpredictable driving behavior, which leads to accidents.

You want the rules to be a deterministic as possible, from all perspectives.

The idea that it's something to be given away is what causes drivers to "wave in" people out of turn, or have standoffs at stop signs because they won't go when it's their turn.

Having "priority" should not be conflated with having license to delegate that priority to others.

Which isn't to say you shouldn't do whatever is necessary to avoid accidents. But decisive and deterministic behaivior is what removes the ambiguity that often leads to those situations in the first place.
Beyond the FM you posted, are there any other documents or books you would recommend?
Frankly, we don't know that this isn't true. Is the past actually gone, or merely inaccessible to us?
Not all fonts are monospace. For example, on Windows you have MS PGothic and MS PMincho, which are the proportional versions of MS Gothic and MS Mincho.
For the record I love Sekiro, and went back and beat Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, but gave up on DS2/3, Bloodborne and Elden Ring.

I believe Soulsborne's only charm, is when you finally beat that foe, that feel of accomplishment, that depends on the fact it's hard, the game is nothing on easy.

The battle system itself, basically roll forever and slash once here and there, is inferior to most action games.

Sekiro on the other hand, has like the best battle system.
> he sits down at his computer every night at home, logs into the ERP system, and reviews sales and receipts

Sorry, what?

How is this OK or even normalized - he should not have to check every single receipt every night. You hire people to do that, and if they cannot do it right, you hire someone else.

As OP mentioned, it wasn't a gradual thing, and when you have a lot of customers, it can easily slip through. Even your father would be the same here - if a few people who should have been charged a recurring bill did not, how would he remember that?

> Every good business owner does it.

Absolutely not. Every good business owner gets someone to take care of it, and then double checks their work at times.
You're making some huge hand wavy statements based on this single anecdote...
Do you have data backing that? I definitely agree about super-commuters, but OTOH in NYC: with small apartments and convenient transit commutes, there are some extra reasons to want to go back to the office.

I'm willing to bet the super commuter effect is stronger, but I'd be surprised if it were strong enough to change it to 5%. E.g. almost all my coworkers live close to the office here in NYC.
But if the output of a company is kept consistent, one worker doing less must imply that somebody else is pulling the weight more.

work-life balance should not come at the expense of some of the workers pulling more than their fair share of work.
It's been less than a week and they already have a couple major cities taken and the capital surrounded.

I don't understand the narrative that Russia is in any way "losing" here. Taking over a country in the span of a month is considered an incredible military feat, and yet somehow Russia is in "a quagmire" four days in.
That’s how it’s been at my office (even pre-pandemic). The open office is relatively quiet, there are several areas good for quiet conversation, and lots to conference and phone rooms. It’s great for those days I need to get out of the house, and just as productive.
But it does not - or, to the extent that it does, it only does as a yet-unclosed loophole.

If crypto is not currency, it needs to be converted to currency before use and as such can trivially be blocked with KYC rules at conversion.

If crypto desires to be a serious currency, it needs to greatly improve efficiency and stop being deflationary.

(Funnily enough, Tesla accepts dogecoin but not USDT, so maybe I am wrong with the second requirement; but maybe not - it's likely just a gimmick in this case)
I don't hate go for the language itself. I understand the point of using go, especially if you have a company with hundreds or thousands of software engineer. It is really good for building microservices, because to me the learning curve is not steep hence everybody who just learn it, could already make contributions to the codebase.

what I don't understand are the fans who are really trying to overglorify go as "language of the future" that could be a C replacement.
Code signing killed Web Start for anything but big $$$ projects. And asking people to download an application and run it with full privileges is a huge barrier to entry.

Luckily for Java fans, you can make great Java apps for the modern web. Tools like TeaVM (and its Flavour toolkit for SPAs) make it possible. Code in Java, bind to real HTML templates, compose your app out of reusable HTML components, style with CSS. All the benefits of the modern web, with a single strongly-typed language top-to-bottom.

Absolutely. I've no delusion that I can combat the manipulation. The best defense is to not absorb the data to begin with.
Navidrome uses react-music-player [0], which unfortunately the author has very little bandwidth to maintain it. I've opened an issue about a bug where if you scrub the player to a different timestamp, and then move the mouse out of the tab so it unfocuses, it stutters. The issue got auto-closed as wontfix after inactivity, so yay...

Other than a few UX bugs I haven't had any real issues, so I'm happy with it.

They're not preventing movement of physical currency - they are preventing use of the existing network and systems to easily move debts around so that it is exceedingly difficult and you have to move physical currency instead of bits / IOUs.

Maybe a distinction without a difference to some, but it makes sense that a country that bucks the consensus of a number of member nations would be excluded from a consortium of institutions like this. (Leaving discussion of disparate impact and whether this actually achieves national goals for another forum)

I don't personally see a huge distinction between crypto and global banking. Just a different set of ledger-holders. Miners, instead of institutions. Just because it's a different set of folks controlling the ledger doesn't mean this can't happen with a blockchain. Maybe I missed something and the tech prevents this somehow? But not that I've been able to figure out.
Luckily, people like Eric Swalwell - the Congressman who proposed using nuclear weapons against Americans who resist gun confiscation - are few and far between.
It's been years since I worked there, but I gotta say nothing compares to the Google NYC office in my opinion, as far as offices go. If you know a better office let me know :)

I still know people there, several of whom started going in again as soon as they brought back the big perks like cafes even though it was fully optional.

(The companies I've worked at since then seem to have fewer people going in during this optional period, though still some.)
