That shouldn't always matter for someone arbitraging it though... companies could hire UK-based developers (themselves pretty expensive by European standards as far as I understand) and pay them less than SFBA developers, and that would continue until the salary difference is somewhat sane. If the displaced SFBA developers then coudln't afford SFBA prices, they would have to move and/or prices would have to come down.

Why don't they? Are timezones/regulation/culture/... really more costly than $100k+/developer-year?

Don't get me wrong, as a developer in Seattle I like the gravy train, just wondering when it will end, why it doesn't end, and if I can save enough to retire by then ;)

They probably check an external list upon account creation. If the ban had to do with KYC (Know-your-customer) and the user is on or unintentionally confused with a banned entity, then it doesn’t matter.
ID could be faked or stolen credit cards can be used. In fact, dropshipping(ordering items on the fly, automatically, from a backend webstore - e.g. Amazon, Aliexpress, taobao) on stolen credit cards, or even pretending to do that without shipping part, is so prevalent there's a DEF CON talk[1] on that topic.

Such people may have achieved some sort of genuine stream entry at some point, and then slipped back/regressed into very ego-centered patterns of thinking. Regardless, it calls their advice into question. I'm not surprised that some folks are dissuaded - and I'd caution people against doing "just a little bit" anyway, if they're aiming at anything like actual stream entry/enlightenment. Vipassana meditation demands a serious commitment; the casual, halfway-committed version of good practice is perhaps best represented by western Stoicism, or by common practices (not aiming solely at enlightenment) in e.g. Hinduist-inspired religions.

Here's a translation of the Russian propaganda:

"From the testimony of the captured commander of the 36th Marine Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Dmitry Kormyankov, it turns out that the internet terminals of Elon Musk's Starlink satellite company were delivered to the militants of the Nazi Azov Battalion and the Ukrainian Marines in Mariupol by military helicopters.

According to our information, the delivery of the Starlink Equipment was carried out by the Pentagon.

Elon Musk, thus, is involved in supplying the fascist forces in Ukraine with military communication equipment. And for this, Elon, you will be held accountable like an adult - no matter how much you'll play the fool."

May 9th (tomorrow) is the victory day for Russia (Soviet Union) and every year they celebrate victory with a parade. Considering the situation now, something might happen tomorrow. Keep an eye on the news.

I would just simply introduce the law mandating any of those faceless companies to give reasonable explanation when denying service for any reason (written by human) with the huge fine if not given within some time frame. The victim then should be able to pursue relief in a small claim court if not satisfied, or normal court or outright claim persecution. If happens on wide enough scale all those big corporate jerks might actually get off their asses and for once do something to fix their fuck ups.
It's also a rather unconvincing argument when there are so many blatant instances of service abusers getting away with it on platforms that can afford very talented employees. In short, whatever it is they're doing is already quite ineffective. While in theory it could be a little more ineffective if we knew what they were doing, it's also possible that they could be a lot more effective if they changed what they're doing and were transparent about it. A hierarchical reputation system (vouching or invite-style) would solve many issues in many domains, for instance; its main downside is during hyper-growth phases where you need onboarding to be as frictionless as possible. But for a big established company like ebay, I think requiring a new account to be vouched for by an existing account which takes on some risk if the new one turns abusive would be quite doable.

At least in your IG example the ban is finite. I don't want the law to be used so bluntly but I'd really prefer if all bans had to be time limited, even if only technically where due to exponential scaling for repeat offenses the time exceeds expected human lifespans.

Yes, in fact I didn’t put in all the details, after several rounds of unsuccessful antibiotic treatments I basically megadosed probiotics in several forms. It was that which actually stabilized me. I know the research is here or there, but due to that I always get a bunch of probiotics after I have antibiotics. I didn’t use kefir grains though, will look into that!

I found going for walks during lockdown to be depressing. Always the same few streets (yes I'd try various directions but it doesn't take long to have walked down every street within 30 minutes of you). My mom lives in the suburbs. She goes for walks but they are hardly uplifting "same walk I've made 400 times before" type of thing. I'd even say walking makes more feel more alone then when I'm at home alone because at least at home I can watch TV/movies/play game and write comments to strangers on HN.

Monsanto also pays shills to comment positively about pesticide use and try to brow beat anyone who is has a negative opinion their products. It's crazy how aggressive it is. Basically any thread on Twitter or Reddit the same users will defend Monsanto. You see the same thing about other controversial products, such as BPAs. It seems like some tactic they learned from Big Tobacco and Big Oil to just push as much doubt/skepticism as possible to make the public nihilistic/cynical. Meanwhile, most of these products don't even need to be used. We're just letting a few companies pollute the earth and get rich for a minor gain of convenience to the public.

Sorry but human beings aren't meant to live or work in isolation and no, Zoom does not cut it. Someone resigning would not change my mind, I'd say "don't let the door hit you on the way out becauase we have about 10,000 other people in line for your job who would happily work at Apple Park."

Furthermore, it is NOT healhty to sit at home. It causes "cabin fever" and that's a well known and documented fact. It causes unhealthy habits. It IS healthy, however, to leave your home and get out into the world.

This whole issue tells me how incredibly ridiculous people have become not to realize the small businesses they are literally killing off with their "i've got to stay home" attidude. How selfish of people to not realize that businesses around workplaces depend on the commerce. So basically it's just OK to say, "hey who cares about you small business owner, I am too lazy to commute and I've made a millione excuses to need to stay home and supposedly work."

I can go into an office and get 50 times more productive things done interacting with real humans and working together. It's also fulfilling to socialize and if you are an introvert then it helps you that much more.

It's just plain sad to see so many people whining on and on when they are literally damaging themselves from isolation....and video is NOT a replacement and never will be.

Note also that the United States' productivity is going down....wonder why.
Suppose it's my job to market Viagra and I'm paying for each impression. Doesn't it make sense that I would want to avoid paying for a 25 year old to see the ad? Clearly my customer base is not 25. If I'm selling bras, I don't want to pay for a male to see the ad. The desire for relatively low-level personalization is so obvious I don't see how the author can ignore it, accuracy of the data notwithstanding.

> Recently, Professor Nico Neumann partnered with the brilliant marketing team at HP to replicate this research for B2B. The results were unsurprising – but horrifying. Many enterprise technology companies spend millions of dollars ‘hyper-targeting’ IT decision makers (ITDMs) using third-party data. But if we get gender wrong more often than 50% of the time, what percentage of ITDMs do you think are actually ITDMs, according to the research?

> Do you want to guess? It’s 14.3%. And for ‘senior ITDMs’, that number drops to 7.5%.

> Super impressive! That’s about as precise as… a drunk monkey throwing darts?

That... seems... like a great result? How many ITDMs are there in a random sample of 10,000 people? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics [0], there are 715,000 people working as IT managers in the USA. So the incidence in a random population of 10,000 is 715,000/300,000,000 = 24 people. Seems like the ads are working really well.

I think it's interesting to see when you get a targeted ad you benefit from. I attended HackMIT for the first time after seeing a Facebook ad for it--I had an amazing experience at the event and that ad is possibly the reason I am a software engineer today. I doubt I would have received that ad if targeting weren't possible.

If I had to put my imagination to work where ads and humans can coexist peacefully, I could imagine a world where ads are required to be hyper targeted, and you would be shown no ads unless the ad was specifically targeted to you. If the ad wasn't relevant to you, you could click an x on it to make it disappear, and the advertiser would have to pay a penalty to the host of the ad (google, facebook, whatever) for inconveniencing their users. I suppose marketers at Disney and P&G would suffer, but I am really sick of seeing liberty mutual ads when I don't even have a car.

The thing I never understood about this argument is that it seems to imply that working from the office makes one immune to the same outsourcing. Maybe it was kickstarted by the pandemic or maybe videoconference/remote tools finally hit the inflection point, but if outsourcing is easy enough now and is really the quality-for-cheap deal it proports to be, nobody is safe.

Commuting daily to some horrific open-office and sitting there with your headphones on isn't going to save you when the beancounters see that they can get an engineer at the same level in [cheap country] for 1/3 of what you cost. Even if having an employee sitting 30ft away is worth something, as you said, is it worth being able to 'hire 2-3 engineers' for the same price?

I agree with you; I think the solution is to try to create a floor of opportunity that is accessible to 99.9+% of people.

There are going to be kids who learn to sail, ski, fly, surf, or take ocean-crossing vacations 4x per year. You don’t gain as much from trimming the top as you do from putting in a solid floor. (It also costs a lot to put in an effective floor.)
Probably they are looking for the word "atmosphere".

But personally, I hate when reporting uses mph for orbital velocity. It's supposed to be more relatable to non-experts or space buffs. (boffins if you prefer)

It isn't though, because nobody has experience with thousands of mph. Big numbers are opaque.

So even for the ignorant, miles (or km) per second is more meaningful, and of course for people who are interested in space, they have a rough idea of how fast things in orbit or meteors go.

It is normal to feel uncomfortable without a phone and it should be!

Leaving my home without my phone means I can't easily get in contact with my friends I'm trying to meet because there is no way to coordinate. Sure we used to coordinate before phones but that's no longer the case and when it was the case it meant waiting for 20-30 minutes if someone was late because there was no way for them to tell you if and when they were actually going to arrive.

It also means I can't pay for things. My phone is now my wallet for all intents and purposes.

My phone is my car key so I can't get back into my car. I'm sure for some it's their house key.

My phone is my navigator. I know my way around the city but regardless of where I am I can search for restaurants, groceries store, and their hours. All things I do often. Without the phone what I'm supposed to do? Find a phone booth, look in the yellow pages, and then try to figure out of the address listed is close to where I am?

It's completely reasonable to feel uncomfortable without leaving your house without keys, without money, without a way to call someone in an emergency, without a way to contact your friends and family, without a way to coordinate with others.

Yeah, the first time I went to Tokyo I was excited to see that the train to/from the airport would be passing through Chiba. When we got there I thought: "Huh. Not what I was expecting."

There is a passage in the book with a potential explanation:

“There were countless theories explaining why Chiba City tolerated the Ninsei enclave, but Case tended toward the idea that the Yakuza might be preserving the place as a kind of historical park, a reminder of humble origins.”

But I've never been able to find a corroborated connection between Chiba and the Yakuza, though the extent of my looking has been nothing more than some desultory google searches.

> I would prefer that the state treats every one equally, instead of trying to equalize something as elusive

I don't think you quite understand here. There are ways of helping out marginalized groups, with their specific problems, and still treating everyone equally.

For example, when there are laws that are passed, that make sexual harassment in the workplace illegal, this disproportionally helps out women, with this problem that they mostly face.

But, even though, yes, this helps this marginalized group, it is still equal. Sexual harassment is still illegal, whether it happens to either men or women, but passing such a law does help this marginalized group more.
I can't say that's true for me personally, and I greatly prefer working in the office. In my case I mostly like the office because it allows me to keep work physically compartmentalised from real life - I don't have work things invading my personal space (and using it for free, I might add).
We must have different teachers, as I heard it differently:

No Self is the path to Intentional Self.

The goal isn’t the deconstruction of the self, but rather, that through the deconstruction of the self we can act from a place of intention rather than bias and preconceived notions. And in doing so, no longer engage in the random suffering that was thrust upon us — but the intentional suffering that comes from our chosen life.

Life is suffering — the only escape to that is death; instead, we should seek to choose our suffering, as befits our goals.
Half of Americans think our visa/visitor/immigration regime is capricious and unfair, and the other half wants it to be worse. As part of the former group, I apologize on behalf of my countrymen. But Americans are not forbidden from visiting Iran and there is nothing the US government will do to me if I take a holiday there (and survive the experience).

Cuba seems a bit more on point, but it's worth mentioning that the point is not to prevent travel there, but to prevent money from flowing there. And even that's incredibly leaky - pretty much everyone I know has been to Cuba at least once. I should have included the full quote:

> Americans and Europeans may at that point be de-facto barred from visiting China by their own governments, so seeing the still-gleaming cities such as Shanghai and Guangzhou up close won’t be an option.

It's not like the US State Dept is afraid that Americans are going to realize the socialist paradise of Cuba. The only circumstance you could imagine US travel to China banned would be the kind of sanctions that prevent all economic activity with China first - which haven't even been applied to pariah states like Iran or Russia.

And it's worth pointing out that Europeans freely travel to Cuba.

The idea that the US government would prevent citizens from traveling to China because they're afraid that citizens will see it as some sort of gleaming paradise is nonsense on its face, especially to someone who grew up here.
On the other hand, Japanese Wikipedia[1] says it was originally a 和製英語 (wasei-eigo/Japanese-invented English word):

> ただしサラリーマン (salaryman) は元々和製英語であり、… 「サラリーマン」は和製英語であるが、後に欧米でも「"日本の"ホワイトカラーの会社員」を指す普通名詞（Salaryman）として浸透しつつある。

("But "salaryman" is originally a Japanese-invented English word [...] Though "salaryman" is a Japanese-invented English word, it has subsequently spread throughout the West as a way of referring to Japanese white collar workers.")

Though 大辞林 (one of the main dictionaries) does say "salaried man" in its definition, I'm not sure whether that proves that is the etymology (usually 和製英語 are noted differently but given that the term is used outside of Japan now they might just write it in a way that'd be understood even if it's not correct).
