There has been a lot of pushback on reporting requirements around security breaches. While I think some of the feedback mentioned in the article is reasonable, many companies will not realistically improve their security posture if it isn’t impacting their bottom line in a clear and present way.

>In UK at least client money

As I understand it, English law custody model is a trust arrangement and pure delegate custodian should be safe in the case of bankruptcy.

Shouldn't does not mean that it does not happen in the UK too. The Lehman Client Money Litigation in the UK is a good example. Lehman Brothers International fell short $2.6 billion in client money under CASS 7 (statutory trust, segregation and pooling).

Coinbase is not operating with that model. Coninbase customers can be just general unsecured creditors

As somebody who looked into doing the highest echelons of Uber/Lyft in the most expensive parts of California - I do believe your driver was lying to you about $20k/mo.

What nonsense.

Donald Trump violated the twitter ToS on the daily, as well as local law. I'd be permanently banned from Twitter if I did what he did.
People have expectations set by parents and society. Things like owning a house are socially expected and difficult in SV. It’s fairly natural to feel “sorry for yourself” when making good money if that good money either isn’t leading to a mortgage and a home or if that good money results in substantial challenges with said home and said mortgage.

Just because someone is more well off doesn’t mean they don’t have problems. It’s not enough to fix affordable housing and say job done if the housing market is completely broken solving the problem requires fixing housing for everyone including the well off.
Rich people's children don't necessarily inherit (let alone develop further) any of their merits yet have all the wealth leaving huge numbers of people in poverty. The latter have potential they could have had developed for good of the society but they are doomed to waste it. Perhaps limiting how much can one person inherit could solve the problem, perhaps not.
I think the vast majority of binary trans people consider gender expression to be an integral part of gender identity, and at least a majority also consider HRT or surgery to be a significant component. I think there are close to 0 people walking around with a beard and wearing masculine suits that identify as transwomen.

Non-binary people are another discussion, and how they should fit into male/female spaces is of course unclear.

Overall, I would agree that prison assignment should depend on more than reported identity. Especially since it is conceivable that people in prison are likelier to lie about their internal identity if they believe they can get something out of this lie. This is much less relevant for lower risk environments, such as bathrooms (in my country at least, unisex bathrooms are anyway quite common) or gym lockers.
Agreed, I haven't lived in them full-time but I use the service quite a lot and have spent many many months in Airbnbs and definitely think it'd be a great idea if they had some sort of preferred service in the same way airlines do for frequent fliers that gave additional support. I luckily haven't had the same issue with you on the scale of misrepresentation for listings but agreed that many of them at least leave things out that would have been desirable to know (e.g. one in Armenia I stayed in was great, but while it technically had an elevator it looked pre-Soviet and liable to plummet to the bottom of the shaft at any minute, not to mention the rats in the trash room).

Many admins feel like a Jedi when they memorize all the trivia about a file's path.

There's no shortage of people in a particular profession that feed on unnecessary complexity even when the original reason for said complexity (i.e. tiny drives) doesn't exist any more.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to figure out why sound doesn't work on Linux in 2022 like it's 1997. No seriously, I legit have to do that now. Someone should really develop another system for sound, again.
Thank you for summing it up this way. It certainly sounds like the original author wants to be taken seriously. In that case they should probably respect the fact that there is literally a word for what they've done. Misquote and its synonyms do not have good connotations, and in their worst form are simply libel...
Airbnb isn’t a hotel, it’s a person renting out their house. Not a fungible thing like a hotel room. When I book Marriott I don’t care which room in the class of rooms I booked that I get. When I book an Airbnb I very much care that the house I selected is the one I stay in.

Absolutely. Protein folding has been worked on by a large part of the scientific community for a long time and they're not going to look at a breakthrough like that and just ignore it. Pharma companies will be putting significant resources towards this research as well.

Funny too, turning off JS for Wired not only stopped that behavior but made the page load incredibly fast.
In my opinion that "paradox" is just used as a justification to silence speech of others. All one must do is label their opponent as "intolerant", and all of a sudden all bets are off. And frankly, nowadays more and more perfectly normal behaviour such as simply disagreeing is seen as intolerant.
I came here to praise the wonderful component implementation and use of Tailwind CSS. The searchable dropdown is splendid with its implementation. I was not aware of Untitled UI so I went to search that and it looks like it is just a Figma kit without specific framework implementation? Are you just utilizing it's design language to guide the component design and implementation? Are you able to export components or styling to your framework with it?
Dark Reader Web Extension
At any sufficient scale, it is difficult to do filtering on the client. Yes, it can be done, but with 10,000+ potential records, you don’t want to ship that to the client for each query. (Note: I’m thinking Newegg scale for “hdmi cable” here. There are certainly situations where you can ship the entire database to the client for filtering.)

It’s not DOM bloat… it’s too many records. If you’re building a DOM node for each record, that’s bloat, but you still have the problem even if the results are stored in a JSON object and dynamically queried on the client side.

So, for each new filter or new query you need to hit the server anyway. If that’s an asynchronous query that returns a json blob or a full refresh, IMHO, it doesn’t really matter that much. Either way, you’re rebuilding a large portion of the DOM with the new results. The only thing that skews things in favor of an async call is if the rest of the page is so heavyweight that reloading the page takes a significant amount of time. This is probably what you’re taking about.

Having a SQLite db close to your worker node really isn’t going to affect this problem all that much.
A lot of us software engineers aren't exactly known for being social butterflies. Arrogance and crass behavior are more common than they should be, sadly.

"Before we wrap up, can I ask a few questions?"

(No interviewer, rude or otherwise, has turned this down on me)

"I just want to say this is as much as an interview for you to evaluate me, as it is for me to evaluate you. What do you think could have been improved in our interview for the future?" - if you feel they were especially rude/arrogant: "Do you feel you have conducted this interview professionally?"
The problem is exacerbated because 'intolerance' is a buzzword like 'violence' now. It's a label used to attempt to silence or de-platform a dissenting opinion.

The people applying the label are often themselves the perpetrator of intolerance against a valid, and perhaps even mainstream, political viewpoint. Turns out silencing your political opponent is an extremely effective strategy.
Yea, except compare the ease, cost, and time of bank wiring your family $5000 to get out of a country where a war started and sending BTC. Something crypto nay-sayers conveniently ignore.
If might depend if your program does 1 request every now and then, or if your program is doing several thousands network requests per second (then I might complain too).
Ah. Ok. Carry on, then... ;-)
The first thing you need to understand is the interview process goes both ways. They're not just trying to figure out if you have the skills to do the job and figure out if you're a good fit for the team, you should also be figuring out if the company is a good fit. Usually you have to pick out context clues to figure out if the company culture is going to be a fit, and if you don't, you ask those questions and gauge their answers.

When they directly insult you during the interview, that should be the end. If you're willing to tolerate abuse during the interview process, you should expect the culture to persist and you advertise that you're okay with it.

Respect of my time and the time of those around me is important to me. I had a recruiter that didn't understand this concept. He was representing a major media company that seemed like it'd be interesting to work for. But since the recruiter advertised to me that he couldn't care less about my time, I took that as an ongoing issue at the company and I ended the process.

It's just not worth it, especially when you have other potential opportunities that may still be interesting. Respect is important and if they can't respect you at the interview, they will not respect you in the job.

That what I mean. The "borrow 3-5ish times your household salary" hasn't changed that drastically (especially considering interest rates have been fairly low). What has changed is that the baseline is borrowing that multiple of two salaries to buy the same house.

This is odd and completely counter to my own anecdotal experience. SMS messages from large companies I interact with (My bank, cell phone provider) always come from fairly static short codes.

The elephant in the room here is that SMS is not a medium where integrity or authenticity of a message can be guaranteed—which is one of the big reasons it’s such a popular medium for phishing.

Correct — also, most B2C companies have, or will build, a B2B component due to the higher contract prices they allow.
The problem is fed has been artificially dampening the interest rate for so long that housing is the only non stock alternative inflation matching way to invest your money.

For some jobs sure, but tech job? The delta is >$100,000USD/yr, which after tax might be $70,000 which pays for all that stuff you get for free or subsidized in Europe, plus some left over.
While the sentiment is good, I don't think that this approach scales very well. The unfortunate truth is that doing things the standard, bloated way has a lot of benefits. Speed is the obvious one. Mind share is another.

You can do your tiny bespoke thing in a vacuum, but when push comes to shove and something needs to get delivered ASAP or worked on by a team, you're better off just sticking to the most common solution.

My worst experiences in software development is stepping in to someone else's bespoke solutions to common problems. The LOC was certainly less and there were no unused parts. But wheels had been reinvented poorly, and the only ones who truly understood the intricacies was the authors.

For hobby projects and playing around, creating minimal cruft and having full control of every bit of code is really nice and fun though. And it really makes you grow as a developer.
Exactly. I understand the value of the Blockchain, as a distributed, albeit inefficient, ledger of transactions that are anonymous and hard to destroy.

But here we have a country, millions of peoples hard work and assets being converted to bitcoin. How exactly does demonstrate critical thinking, planning or heck, even a plan?
In the EU you're probably looking at the equivalent of $300 on average for a letter like this, and you're more likely to have the disposable income available to do it.

Something like this you can easily do yourself and imo wouldn't be worth the money, however getting a law firm involved in small tasks is a good way to test them with something simple to see if they're any good, and build up a working relationship with one incase you need them for something more serious or time sensitive later on. It's generally a good life skill to get comfortable working with lawyers because at some point all of us will end up in a situation where we need one, and that's really not the point at which you want to deal with that learning curve.

They use a 'dark pattern' where they don't really make clear how much you are actually paying for night till you are on the checkout page.
Lots of hosts use this pattern and make their listing real cheap buck tack on a huge 'cleaning fee' and there are whole bunch of local taxes, service fees ect which you only know at the end.

They count on people to just go through with checkout since they spent a whole bunch of time to get through that point. Compare this with kayak which shows you final price right on the search screen.

And then there is a problem with reviews where a guest is not really motivated to write a bad review even if they have a bad experience because people are usually conflict avoidant. So almost all airbnbs have positive reviews 4.9 review average making the whole review section useless. Also, there is no way for user to sort reviews in ascending order of star rating.
Since coinbase isn’t FDIC insured, it makes sense that if coinbase goes bankrupt, the customer currencies will go away as well.

No, it doesn't make sense at all. It is incredible to me that these are all solved problems in traditional finance.

Coinbase could utilize the services of a custodian to hold the crypto. In fact, that's what any responsible financial services company would do. It makes perfect sense because if there is a dislocation in crypto, it could bring Coinbase down but it won't bring Bank of New York down. So hold all the customer crypto at Bank of New York.

Or they could have individual wallets titled to customers. More difficult and doesn't allow them to do off-chain transfers but possible.

There are a million ways to do this, this is a solved problem in finance. Coinbase chose not to do it and now is paying for that by having to disclose the truth - retail customers are screwed if Coinbase declares bankruptcy. Whose fault is that? The CEO apologizes for it so that should tell you.

>For our retail customers, we’re taking further steps to update our user terms such that we offer the same protections to those customers in a black swan event. We should have had these in place previously, so let me apologize for that.

I don't think regulatory capture is the issue here. We're talking about a disclosure of risks ... that seems reasonable to me.

Dude says there is no risk of bankruptcy and is predicting court case outcomes... and it is clearly in his financial interest to make the arguments he is making.

The system is rigged and other truthy arguments are all but standard operating procedure for whatever crytpo idea someone comes up with. Those arguments doesn't make mean we shouldn't be skeptical.

His team called their initial orders their 'shock & awe' strategy and resulted in colleagues not able to come to school+work because they were not allowed back to the US after visiting relatives. You may have been unimpacted, but each such action is real to the people under the boot, and that was just them testing their powers and setting precedent.

That was just the beginning, and as with the Roe v. Wade collapse now playing out, every month of hateful rules, non-handling of COVID, and corrupting the executive & judicial branch, many Americans will be feeling the hangover for literally decades.

It basically has to be distinct from `char` because you can't use portably use `char` to hold a UTF-8 code unit (because the guaranteed valid range is only 0x00 to 0x7F) Also, this way you can overload based on legacy char vs UTF-8 char, and have `std::basic_string<char>` and `std::basic_string<char8_t>` (aka `std::string` and std::u8string`) be distinct types as well. So finally in C++20 we actually have a portable UTF-8 string type!

That could explain all of it. Household average here (including 1 person households / apartments etc) is 2479 kwh per year, but also 1169 m3 of natural gas. If you convert that gas to kwh it would be around 10,500 kwh

So 13,000 kwh per year or 35 kwh daily average.
My experience has been that there's this massive cliff - if you can get into a company that's got a strong US attitude towards Tech salaries you can 2-5x your salary. That basically means do the same job but work for either a FANG style company, or work in some parts of Finance (easy to do in London). Someone of my experience (10 years exp) working in an average software company in the UK is probably earning 50-70k. By moving into Finance I'm now doing the same job for closer to 400k,and I'm not paid incredibly well compared to my US counterparts. It's just absurd.
> The goal is to crash house prices as far down as they possibly can be crashed.

Then you will create a problem 10 years down the road where there has been massive underinvestment in new housing stock.

The solution is to increase interest rates so there is actually an opportunity cost to money, which will cause people to stop making horribly performing investments in real estate. In Canada, we are already seeing the dramatic effect of a few paltry rate hikes exposing the cracks in this confidence game. Another 150-200bp and house prices will no longer be in the headlines.

Governments would love us all to blame AirBNB and housing investors, but this bubble isn’t limited to housing - we have been in the “everything bubble” and it is due to loose monetary and fiscal policy for too damn long. Shame on them.
Yes.

I still view Twitter (back when I was on it) as a private business. Like a pub. Chat rubbish, cause trouble, get thrown out.

At the time of the elections, do you remember all the memes about how Twitter was just a tiny portion of voters and that the vast majority were not even on Twitter?

Twitter is not a town square or a centre of free speech. It's a small dive bar in the corner of the city.

Cause trouble, get ditched in the gutter.
Aircover seems a rebranding of the current policy? They already give a refund if the host cancels (as you would expect). And they already have discretion to find you alternative accommodation (although they never have for
me).

It’s still useless if your long term stay is cancelled at the last minute as it’s often impossible to find a replacement for a comparable price.

This is the risk with using Airbnb for long term stays - last minute cancellations can (and do) happen.
> Same with banning the Trump reddit forums, what this achieved was to shift them to their own platform where they, no longer hear opposing views or being challenged.

They had actually already moved around 4 months before the ban. The official action was just virtue signaling, it was already dead on reddit (I think their mods had actually locked it and prevented posting).
