Slavery is an unfortunate comparison. Barcelona made a lot of money in the antiquity by being a main port in the slave trade that lasted until the XIX century it seems. Much later than other places.

The idea here would be more like: I rebuild your home, I spend a lot in infrastructures for you and now that you are rich you slam your door in my face.
You think it was that and not alienating so many wives and mothers?
While the school I went to had larger admissions when controlled by degree, quality was maintained by failing out a huge chunk of the student body. Getting a rejection letter is much more humane.

Beyond that, exclusive clubs often come with good perks: in this case, the assumption that the outcome of conversation and networking will be relatively high.
I'm having a hard time understanding the axial motion from the coarse adjustment. From [0]: The Ball Screw in Figure 9 has a 21 mm range. As the ball screw nut moves up, the housing moves up too -- but then the two halves of the tumbler coupling get displaced in such a way that doesn't seem to support a 21mm displacement. How does the tumbler coupling stay mated? (I feel like I'm missing something obvious?)

> let's also have a discussion about why this was sold to anyone who would pay with no oversight at all.

There will always be cyberweapon brokers. If not NSO, then someone else. And money talks.

Why would there be any oversight? What you need is plausible deniability.

I’d prefer if they started selling Pegasus to absolutely anyone at all. Like, online, for $999 a month or something. Maybe then there will be actual efforts to patch the vulnerabilities that are being exploited for it to work.
Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for, and it was annoying this wasn’t in the specification or details section.
Yes, I've written less then 100 lines of "real" code and at most 1900 of tests.

Yes I've owned all sorts of laptops from toshiba to lenovo to asus including a macbook air and the mac was the only laptop i sold on olx as i just didn't like it one bit.

So to each his own and definitely op is just unlucky and the conclusion drawn in this post is just absurd and flame-baity.
16 years ago, there was a bug reported to zgrep where files with 1 newline caused it to behave incorrectly. It was patched without a CVE https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gzip.git/commit/zgrep.in?i...

This year, there was a bug reported to zgrep where files with 2 newlines caused it to behave incorrectly. It got a CVE and a front page hacker news post.

I give it very good odds this vulnerability has seen next to zero exploitation in the wild in either of the two cases above.
For web scraping specifically, I’ve developed key parts of commercial systems to automatically bypass reCAPTCHA, Arkose Labs (Fun Captcha), etc.

If someone dedicated themselves to it, there’s a lot more that these solutions could be doing to distinguish between humans and bots, but it requires true specialized talent and larger expenses.

Also, for a handful of the companies which make the most popular captcha solutions, I don’t think the incentives align properly to fully segregate human and bot traffic at this time.

I think we’re still very much still picking at the very lowest hanging fruit, both for anti-bot countermeasures and anti-anti-bot (counter-countermeasures).

Personally I believe this will finally accelerate once AI’s can play computer games via a camera, keyboard, and mouse. And when successors GPT-3 / PaLM can participate well in niche discussion forums like HackerNews or the Discord server for Rust.

Until then it’s mainly a cost filter or confidence modification. As long as enough bots are blocked so that the ones which remain are technically competent enough to not stress the servers, most companies don’t care. And as long as the businesses deploying reCAPTCHA are reasonably confident that most of the views they get are humans (even if that belief is false), Google doesn’t have a strong incentive to improve the system.

Reddit doesn’t seem to care much either. As long as the bots which participate are “good enough”, it drives engagement metrics and increases revenue.

I wonder what the median is.

I'm in political communications and am, in modern parlance, far Too Online. I definitely spend over 12 hours a day, and I'm one of the less engaged people in politics/civics fields that I've seen (depending on available time, of course).

Given people like us and the group of people that seems just plain ADDICTED to outrage bait/who hang out all day on Twitter, I think we might be skewing that number pretty drastically.

Either that or their definition of 'news' is wider than we'd expect and would include things like celebrity news. If we include keeping up with musicians/actors/Youtubers/etc. I wouldn't be shocked if that bumped up the numbers a lot.
raises hand

I would love to live on Pluto. I'm sure lots of people would. Anyway, we evolved without Twitter and HN too, but here we are, spending our waking hours online. Many people alive today have never physically even visited 'real' nature and are (probably, mostly) fine without it.

I don't think 'we evolved to X and therefore would never want Y" holds much water.
So a guy lives in what can be best described as a "pit", makes an equivalent of, say, $200/m.
Among many contenders wins job in Dubai, moves to a company-provided, airconditioned camp (built by no other that Hughes, who builds camps for Exxon, BP and others around the world), eats company-provided food, wears company-provided closes, watches company-provided TV, gets shuttled to and from work for free and makes $600/m. Works his ass off to stay employed, obviously.
In a few years he may save up enough to marry any girl in the village. With some luck he may be given a chance to learn welding. If so, he will buy a new Hero Honda, or, even better, an automobile.

I think there's a smooth continuum between "hate what you do" and "love what you do" and "find it satisfying" is closer to the love than hate end.

No one loves their job every moment of it and even the most rewarding job has challenges, stress, and drudgery.
That's one way of looking at it. The other way of looking at it is that the NFT still fetched $280 more than its real vaue, $0.
There have been many floods in many places throughout history, including the Mediterranean and Middle East. There is no evidence specifically for a global flood with all the very specific characteristics of the biblical flood, or the Mesopotamian flood myth it’s almost certainly based on.

That doesn’t mean these mythical floods had no basis in fact, and weren’t inspired by real floods. It just depends how literally you take the specifics of how they are described in the sources.

Not really. As Covid has shown us, a significant amount of commuting is essentially useless. I suspect business travel via air will never recover as a percentage of GDP.

Also mass transit isn't analogous to fasting. You still get to eat, but instead of eating steak made to order you're eating spaghetti from a cafeteria.
>> find the problem sets that have the best match up and focus on those.

Or, abandon all of that. A space imagery company is a media company. They generate content. So do what other content creators do. Take everything you have and shovel it in front of people as fast as possible. Deliver it by any and every means available. Ask questions, but do so AFTER they have already made a purchase. Then judge what your customers want by what they choose to consume.
Alternatively it could be seen that your juice company offers free samples. Then somebody abuses free and takes gallons home with them to bottle and sell as their own.

That’s what it feels like when someone is scraping your network to bootstrap a competitor.
Thank you - even I don't always agree with me.

You say it's "your property". They say that your argument is no different from walking into a movie theater with a camcorder. Most people don't want to argue about the distribution terms of a movie; they just want to make a decision about whether it's worth $19 to watch now, or whether they want to wait until it's $1.99 instead. Media companies are right to want to serve those kinds of customers --- the majority of customers --- and are within their rights to set terms that enable them but don't enable you to create a permanent, redistributable library of their content.

You'd have the moral high ground if you were boycotting content distributed on those terms. But that's not what we're talking about. The high-horsing on piracy threads is farcical.

Before it was tenable to set the kinds of terms you're upset about, studios simply didn't make content available the way it is now. We have never had more, faster, and better access to content than we do now, and it's in spite of, not because of, piracy.
Google, Youtube and Facebook aren't news producers, they aggregate and provide content in feed form. First order journalism, the people that actually point the cameras at things are largely the mentioned commercial institutions, the rest is commentary.

But even if it was: is a VC's multi-decade record more valuable to a founder than other in-the-now considerations?

And, while ideally VCs & founders in the same firm rise with the same tide, cooperatively, synergistically, there can be a margin at which a VC's lower returns could mean higher returns for other owners, like the founders & team.
I don't know if this exist, but I think it should exist a way of telling the software what maximum or minimum decimal precision you want to prevent this kind of situation.
Interesting. I’ll look that up! My theory is that toxic culture worked when Samsung was mostly playing catch up (before 2010 ish) to existing products/ technologies. But now they need to innovate, and toxicity is crushing and driving away creative people.

I suppose it was my bad for using lines-of-code as a metric. What meant to convey is I feel like I've done the same amount of work in 10 days on hobby projects as 9 months on work projects.

The difference to me is the hobby project is 100% my code and relatively small (25k lines total, 2k lines in last 10 days). Vs the work project which is 1000+ developers, no idea how many lines but at least 250k files.

So, my point is, is it possible that often (not always) 10x programmers are preceived to be 10x because they are in a situation that allows them to be productive (maybe a smaller code base, maybe a code base they are super familiar with, maybe a new project so new code meaning it's their code, no someone else's) etc...
A few concrete arguments for e-bikes
It might also just depend in if you are good friends with someone or not. Anyone I consider a friend I could have a real conversation with about current events, but people revert to orthodoxy when talking to people they are unsure around. Reading definitely helps with critical thinking, but I think most regurgitation just comes from not being your friend. (And I've hypothesized there are actually large social groups that are not really friends. Anyone you would have to consider "political correctness" around for example. I think these larger groups do exist and call each other friends, and just regurgitate at each other. But I think it's that they're afraid of each other, of being denounced as a heretic, not that they don't read)
Nothing special, I bought a Mac Mini about a year ago, things have changed a lot and I don't get to sit at my desk as a regular during the night, selling it seems hard, and Apple just accept a Late 2021 M1 mac mini with 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD for $450 lol. So I decided to continue using it as a headless computer via my iPad instead of trying to sell it.

The image quality on VNC depends a lot on the internet connection btw, even for the same wifi at home, I had to use Adaptive Quality mode for a better experience. There are not so many good VNC clients on iPad, Screens Connect seems to be the best one.
Eh. I went to a community college that let basically everyone in, and failed out ~95% of their computer programming course. I graduated, and I likely would not have gotten in in the first place if they went with the exclusivity model of universities (my last year of high school was terrible, and that's all they really looked at). Most people who didn't make it in this program went to more general programs so they still got something out of it. I'm now working at a large tech company.

I'm glad both models exist because I would have been completely excluded if they did not.
In my country the minimum wage is the same for everyone regardless of nationality. That would immediately fix the whole issue.
If that verbiage turns you off, it's likely that both your time, & A16Z's time, has been saved by discovering that incompatibility up front.
I don't agree with this. I have many accounts for different domains and use cases. Some of them are used less frequently so I'd like to remove them from the long list of user accounts and log in whenever I need to (once every few weeks).
'solution can only come from a ground-up awareness through education'

Average consumer cannot be responsible for security. Not because they are uneducated but becauae corporations have physicall talen away control from us.

You have no control over software running on your router supplied by the internet company, wifi printer, smart toaster, tesla or what crapware is preinstalled on your phone (often you can't even update it)

So since they took away control, they shoupd be held financially accountable

Yep, based on the types of things somebody likes to talk about, the banality of their view of the world, what they simply regurgitate, what sort of nuance they bring (or can pick up on), pretty much allows you to place them in either bucket. And suffice it to say that the former bucket contains the least interesting people to talk with.
Nice game, but the server may be overloaded right now.
It is possible to be in 2 games at once (and losing both).

A bug made my game end as if the opponent had quit, I went back to the menu and started another one. Made one or 2 moves and then I was back in the game I had just quit, where my opponent was still playing.
Of course I was AFK for 1 turn (playing the other game) so my position was revealed. Then I was switched back to the other game where I had also appeared AFK for a turn.
And interest rates are a lot lower today... the actual "cost" is probably the same or lower today.

Sure, pen and pencil factories may need complicated factory equipment to manufacture, but they are still extremely low tech products compared to computer chips and other silicon related components which are still evolving relatively fast compared to pen and pencil products. The related manufacturing process for chips is also a lot more complex and advanced compared to the manufacturing process for pens and pencils. It's still a poor comparison.

First, off, this conversation is about triggering the poison pill. So in this case, it would trigger.

That's what the conversation is about.

But since you want to focus on incentives:

That's an immediate dilution of his (and his compatriots) shares until their combined percentage was 15%. Additionally, they can be subject to a shareholder civil suit by anyone who sold the them shares for any increase in value between the time when they sold the shares and the information came to light. Additionally, they can be subject to a shareholder civil suit by any shareholders for any decrease in value of their shares after that information came to light until endtime fuzzy. Additionally, a civil injunction preventing them from taking the company private, preventing their scheme from allowing them to do so and rendering their actions pointless.

Those are just the people who stand to make billions from any of those actions. The SEC can also pursue it's own charges, but since they won't individually make billions, they are less likely to do so.
Ask HN: Should I switch from SRE to Security?
I have been working as SRE for about 6 years.

Being SRE also means you have to be mindful of good security practices.
As an SRE, I’ve built a number of internal tools to monitor resources and permissions on cloud.
Also I have been involved with security incident response as part of my role.

I have always been fascinated with offensive security dipping my toe in CTFs in my spare time.
But I would consider myself as very average developer and absolute beginner when it comes to offensive security.

The security team at my company is relatively new and they are desperately looking for a security engineer with SRE experience as we are looking to integrate third party security solutions into our environment.

I've heard good prospect for security engineers in general.
Would this be a good career move?
Are security engineers valued as much as SRE?

I’ve heard a counter argument that security team is a cost center and does not add value to the business.
From that aspect, SRE also acts as a foundation for other product teams to build their solution on.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

How do you keep books from completely consuming your free time? For me, whenever I get into a good book I don't want to put it down. I'll read a few hours after my normal bedtime. I'll skip everything I wanted to do over a weekend just to finish a book or book series. Even to the point of reading while in traffic (that I fixed by getting unabridged audio book versions, and switching to that while in traffic and back to paper book when I get home).

Then the other issue I have is that since I know a book will consume me, I have a hard time deciding on the next book to read as I don't want to invest a chunk of time getting part way through it, just to find out that a given book is junk.

Also I have a number of really good books that are on my abandoned book pile. These are ones that I started reading, go half way through then got back into "life" mode. Then after not reading it for a couple months I have a hard time picking up where I left off (already lost parts of the plot), but I can't start from the beginning either because I already read that part. I have to wait till I mostly forget the parts I read in order to start them again.

Depends on what one classifies as 'news'? Is reading an article about how "Six companies control 90% of what you read, watch, and hear" news?

HN and Reddit links out to other sites (BBC, Ars Technica, Science Direct, etc): is being on HN and Reddit classified as dealing with news, entertainment, other?

How many Twitter threads are about an article on CNN, Fox News, ESPN, etc? Is the ensuing discussion related to 'news' or something else?
