I also bought a huge amount of Perl books as they're basically free + postage as the supply is much higher than demand.

Two shadowy industries. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the DRM crowd just went to these sketchy VPN providers and bought the data they wanted. Wouldn't surprise me one bit.

In all honesty they may have a case against the proxy providers that call themselves a VPN without actually offering a VPN.
I worked at one FI in Australia that shipped a bug that impacted interest payments, except in this case they used the wrong 'from' date: the account opening date instead of the last interest date.

Some long-standing accounts received very large cheques (it was the 90s, so yes, cheques).

The FI gave the customers the choice to either return the cheques or have future interest payments withheld. Surprisingly the vast majority simply returned the cheques.

We had to write additional code to clawback the interest on the other accounts. I doubt if the FI would have had any recourse if people had just closed their accounts and kept the cheque but to the best of my knowledge nobody did.
Unfortunately the peer pressure inside each mastodon instance (and especially against Gargron as the sysop of one of the biggest English speaking ones) is not really conducive to applying moderation in decisions. If the vast majority decided an instance is fostering only wrong-speak there's no end to their bullying of the moderators, admins and everyone that might hold a more lenient opinion about banning full instances outright.

Sometime ago, I thought about some form of simple ranking that could give good results. I thought how about giving points for sites that are linked by a small set of "sources" like hacker news, wikipedia, stack overflow, reddit, news sites...

I always wondered how such results could be. Never had the knowledge to test it.
Thanks, I understand now what you meant by actionspace.

> this is the reason that lots of advice sounds banal.

This is the part I'm not getting. Definition of `banal` is:

> so lacking in originality as to be obvious and boring.

Obviously, personal circumstances apply to every single piece of advice ever given to random strangers on the internet. For example, I don't even remember when was the last time I saw a street musician. Doesn't mean that the one-dollar thing is banal. It may be irrelevant to my life, but that is a totally different thing. It would be banal if the behavior suggested was an extremely common social norm... which it isn't, and some people argue the advice is wrong. Which is good! Discourse is healthy.
Because it's cool. That's really the only reason I can come up with; it's certainly not economical in any way.
SEB is also quite a boomer bank? Still stuck with legacy numeric "usernames", manual limit changes from the office etc..
Got stuck on a call a few weeks back with a client, their IT director, CTO and their MSP telling us our product was shit. I said well show me. Some people started looking very nervous suddenly. So they took their i7 Thinkpad "terminal" and RDP'ed into their VDI infrastructure. Took 2 mins to log in, 1 min to open the browser tab and about 2 minutes to log into the app which ran like crap. Literally 30-40 seconds a click.

Fired up task manager. Ah yes, 32Gb EC2 instance with 30 active users on it, all of whom had 10 Chrome tabs open. The memory was flat out, the IO was flat out and the CPU was flat out. Explained as politely as I could that they were doing everything entirely wrong and had been sold a complete lie by their IT director and MSP.

But they ticked a compliance box by not logging in from their laptops.

This is realistically where VDI seems to end up. I have seen it too many times to actually believe there is a competent use out there. It's a lie to patch up the fact that there isn't a half decent security and patching model for desktop computing and you don't trust your staff.

It's not just horrible advice. It's dangerous and unethical.

In Silicon Valley or on Wall Street, when people lose jobs on reference checks, people often get hit men sent to their house, and while the objective usually is just intimidation, all sorts of bad things can happen in that situation.

Putting someone at risk of getting killed because "his references weren't as enthusiastic as I expect everyone to be" is fucking immoral.

The only technical way maybe. You could always legislate that large enough networks MUST peer.
Unfortunately, most people just throw "eh, it's low-maintenance".

To bring down the point, here's the source code for that link shortener: https://github.com/technoweenie/guillotine. It was last updated in 2015. If you don't believe that this is the source code, this was directly linked to in its announcement: https://github.blog/2011-11-10-git-io-github-url-shortener/. If the extreme lag (in an attempt to save the links) is indicative if its backbone, it's probably just running in a single server, which is very likely to be horribly outdated. It might not be due to the cost of removing the malicious links, it might be that Git.io as a platform has a cost in of itself (even excluding common things like domain and hosting costs).
My Sony K750i from 5 years earlier was phenomenal. Only 2mp resolution but the lens was brilliant and I've still got a bunch of photos I printed from it that still stand up to scrutiny.

Again, whatever technical advantage Tezos might have in terms of efficiency, nothing prevents Namecheap from using a database instead of a blockchain and reaching higher efficiency.

You're assuming that the fees you pay Namecheap are representative of their costs. You could also say that Apple will never be able to compete with mid-range Android phones because iPhones are so expensive,. The point of a business is to make money, and the margin represents a big share of the price, so you can't just forget about it. The price / fees don't necessarily reflect anything about the business costs, especially in tech.

Blockchain-based solutions are usually cheap because they're either subsidized (like Uber was very cheap because it was just not profitable), because they offer a strictly worse product (almost no company wants a .tez) or a combination of both.
Hahaha, Mastodon has all of these features, and yet people still bully their admins into silencing other instances that hold communities that they don't agree with, or perform some act of virtual injustice, instead of blocking at a personal level.

Won't the bias still be present in the report? For example if a candidate left a good impression on me I'll definitely make sure that the report captures that. Not because I'm a bad actor but because I don't know any better, I don't realize my good impression is biased.

At that point the panel makes the call based on a biased report and it thinks the decision is unbiased which is not true.
It sounds like you should have clicked on "learn more", and then uninstalled Firefox.

Because, there you learn that:

> If you allow location access, Firefox gathers information about nearby wireless access points and your computer’s IP address, and sends this information to the default geolocation service provider, Google Location Services, to get an estimate of your location. That location estimate is then shared with the requesting website.

If you disagree with location access, such that you won't use an application or site that asks for it, why would you use a browser that goes out of its way to make that possible in the first place? If asking for it is morally wrong, then adding the code to the browser which figures out that location and gives it to Google first, and then to the site must be a capital crime.

Also from "learn more":

> How do I stop all sites from asking to access my location?

> If a site indicates to Firefox that it wants to access your location, Firefox asks, by default, whether you want to grant permission. You can set Firefox to automatically deny new permission requests to all websites, without asking.
For starters, it's called general aviation.

Most people seem to think it’s a sign of consistency and want to belong to a tribe. This piece of advice needs a lot of repeating.
I've posted about this before on HN, there are some pretty nifty Asus chromeboxes with i7's in them that can be had for cheap. You'll need to reflash the bios to put Linux on them (or Windows, if you really want to). They tend to be pretty cheap second hand because people don't know what to do with them.
> "didn't ever do anything wrong on purpose"

The fact that there are two ways to read this comes up in the criminal law context, where there's a question as to someone's mental state.

You read "on purpose" to attach to "act" – as in, "none of my wrong acts were acts I purposely engaged in." (Such statements can often be read this way in the law – it's about whether they intended the act, not the consequences.)

But I think most people stating that sentence intend to communicate that the wrong (or harm) was not deliberate, in that they had innocent motives, or a non-culpable mental state. And that claim shouldn't be all that hard to believe.

It sounds like you're going from success to success, big career mistakes usually end in the unemployment office or at least a demotion. Your old coworker the director is probably making himself miserable because his cousin is a CTO and maybe that cousin went to high school with Elon Musk.

You already recognize the big problem is how you're processing these feelings. The place that I would start is forgiving yourself for having them. It's part of the human condition to feel jealousy, regret, inadequacy, etc. Definitely work on processing them, letting go of them, figuring out where they come from, but try not to beat yourself up for having them in the first place.
that kind of thinking could result in repeating your mistakes.

America was way behind at that point.

IIRC a combination of weird regional roaming agreements, odd incompatible networks and the sheer size of the country leading to lots of coverages blackspots meant that the US just didn't get widespread adoption of decent mobile tech.
Crypto is an industry covering thousands of different projects. The nobel tech behind crypto certainly is not a scam, its revolutionary.

Out of the thousand of projects many are indeed scammy. Likewise, many are serious projects, and a few like BTC are paradigm changing. Maybe not to you, the majority western (very) well off reader with a stable and sorta not corrupt governance, but to the millions in this planet where they are forced into never leaving poverty by dictators, oligarchs and crony politicians hyperinflating their life savings or seizing assets due to religious/racial/class lines (much of South and Central America, Africa, the middle east, etc) its a godsend.

Hacker news really should know better than these blanket statement smears. Its either bitterness, ignorance/privilege or paid shilling propaganda. A much more serious problem in the world than some exit scams by fly by night crypto scammers.
Python, while slow, is "fast enough" because it's super easy to add native objects for anything that's too slow. It's kind of an inversion for the usual scripting language layout with fast native code loading slow snippets of script to provide customization, and tbh that's probably the better approach for most situations. Write the 99% of your application that's not performance critical in something quick and easy and flexible, and then optimize the heck out of the remaining 1% that matters.

(Not a card carrying Python fan or anything, haven't used it in a decade, I just like this architecture.)

> IOW, the question is not whether Python is "fast" or "slow", but whether it is "fast enough" or "too slow" for a given user.

100% this. There isn't REALLY any such thing as good/bad/fast/slow/cheap/expensive, there's just "meets spec better" / "doesn't meet spec as well". Everything is relative to your requirements.

Did you really think that I was suggesting it wasn't ok "to discriminate against people who can’t or won’t be effective programmers"?

I think that's a strawman, but a useful one. It helps to establish the bounds of reasonable judgement in hiring. I think most people will agree that "can't or won't do the job" is reasonable.
yeah, it's really hard. I wanted to engage with 100 users to understand them better to prioritize features. So, I made a discord server, WhatsApp group, kanban page where a user can post.

They're linked, intrinsically. If the someone's "market" (whether that's local, or global, or front-end, or full stack, or whatever) prices then at $80k/yr a business is going to try to pay them that much or less. Whether you want to admit it or not, locality plays a role in that.
We might not get a detailed, technical post-mortem, but I expect someone (the bank, a government regulator) will want to know what happened and why, and there will be some sort of report.

given the size of the thing it's likely to be positioned very close to the water source, so I expect it just dumps it outside the device. I mean, if I was running it on a boat, or next to the sea, I'd just basically pour the waste out right next to the device.

And I agree, at ounces per hour there's no need to dilute the brine, just dumping it is fine.
Of course not. Employers have regulations as well. If you are paying someone working in Japan your employer should follow Japan laws on employer regulations.

Long term corporate profit growth overall can’t exceed demographic growth + productivity growth unless you assume that corporate profits will eventually consume all of GDP with labor and taxes going to zero.

A large amount of corporate profit growth since the 80s has been due to a declining share of labor compensation vs capital and declining effective tax rates. Productivity gains are the only real “free lunch” which is what capital investment is supposed to provide to justify the gains. Productivity growth has been stagnating for a couple of decades.
That's the thing, I don't think there's a clear duration after which you're automatically considered a tax resident.

The thing with these employees was that they never became local hires. So they would get their salary through their home country branch, with taxes paid over there, etc. The whole point is that these companies were trying to dance around the limits of employment law. What they were doing was technically legal, hence the will of the government to change the law.

I wouldn’t say it is different, but there is a certain amount of stigmatization associated with cheaper cars in richer nations that sort of forces people to pay more than they feel comfortable with to avoid it. And because this sort of thing is going on, most car companies don’t really produce that many cheap cars anymore. In a way, Dacia taking the top position makes sense because they are the only company that focuses on price point. Fiat once produced cheap cars, now they produce “lifestyle” vehicles. VW wanted to become a “premium” brand, worked on that and now it is.
