I feel like at that level of skepticism you're well on your way to the "just copy and paste" kind of thing. I think that advice is kinda horrible / difficult, but I think we're at that level where not much would assure you that X or Y isn't happening anyway.
It got changed to $800K minimum in March 2022.
The privacy concern is valid, but most people (from my experience) aren't interested in interacting with the legal system in this way, and for these sums of money.
While handy, focus stacking requires taking multiple images which means you're limited to static subjects only. If I'm not mistaken, the proposed new approach can just as well be used to take pictures of moving subjects.
The story is only tangentially related to BTC. The article could eliminate all mention of crypto without any information loss. It's only included for the clicks.
This is important. I feel it's especially true of folks outside of the Bay area, who hear of 400-600K compensation packages and wonder why they're being paid "so poorly"

A personal anecdote: A (very much) junior colleague decided to move jobs and when I asked them they told me their new salary - $15k more than I was making (and I had 15 years of experience on them). This person is totally competent and I was delighted they were getting that salary, but I was annoyed that I was not when I had so much more experience.
Probably... But this assumes there's no biological (or other) component that isn't stronger.
In 2021, Saudi Aramco had a net income of $200 Bn., on a $622 Bn. revenue.

With 66800 employees, that comes to almost $3M / employee in net income. A quick google search seems to yield that avg. salary at Saudi Aramco is around $130k.

In fact, if this list https://www.visualcapitalist.com/the-20-most-and-least-profi... - which seems to compare domestic companies - tech companies aren't really that represented in the top.

But I'd be surprised if the average worker of most companies on that list are making more than your average FAANG tech worker.
If apples plan really is m, tu, th in the office then it sucks. Yeah, there’s a 3 day weekend, but it’s a dead wed and only 2 contiguous days. Almost like apple management set out to screw their lower staff by “giving them what they wanted”. How about three contiguous days? This maximized face time as well as home time and minimizes commuting…
It makes sense for the user to have this feature. The ticketing app Gametime has a settings flag that says "all in pricing" and it's so much better when turned it. It keeps me off of other platforms like ticketmaster. I guess the problem here is: who are they competing against?

There are a few reasons to keep it the way it is: Airbnb is probably aspirational about its userbase: they don't want people to choose based on price comparison, it's more about the unique space. Or maybe this even speaks to actual measured user behavior. Airbnb invests a lot in data science so I would assume they have either tested this or have data to show the performance impact of such a change. They also might want to one day reduce or eliminate such fees using a membership program of some kind. So a perk of this membership would effectively be "all in pricing"
Remembering that one time an interviewer asked to fill a spec and then asked why I didn't <description of something clearly outside the spec>.
1a. I don't think we have anything to share with regards to the logistics of putting cache in front of R2 or how that product will work.

1b. Unavoidably as you guess you'd be giving up the consistency. Presumably the consistency guarantees would be part of the cache-control header you associate with the object. Cache purging would probably work similar & we have exciting upcoming news about major performance improvements for that. But again, since we don't have any idea of what that product looks like, hard to say.

2. There is. I have a bunch of technical blog posts written but we decided to punt on providing that detail for a few months just to give everyone some breathing room. R2 does have one important extension we got the DO team to build just for us (not 1 instance of the code instantiated). That piece will only be available for R2. R2 is also driving performance improvements & API improvements to DO that will almost certainly percolate out to external users.

3. The equivalent model would be AWS Lambda + S3 so I think we're significantly cheaper (+ Workers is faster than AWS lambda - R2 is still in open beta so not useful to compare perf against S3 yet). Yes, if you're using it to emulate public buckets, then it'll be a bit expensive (depending on egress charges you might otherwise face)

4. Soon. It's very high on our list alongside pre-signed URLs

I didnt say that "we don’t have enough of either"

Admittedly I was a bit rambley because i am scared for the safety of myself and others in this political climate. And everytime someone tries to "diagnose" the problem, they do so by treating the left and the right as the same, as value-neutral, as though they are two people on a tennis court following the same rules hitting a ball back and forth. I think this fundamentally misses the fact that both sides use vastly different tactics and have different standards for truth. I think that the values of each side cannot be put on the same line ("I think cops should be held accountable" and "democrats stole the election" are not equal and opposite positions). I think both sides are playing completely different games and each can claim the other is losing/winning/cheating, that is the problem... not individuals misperceptions.
Swapping out config files can have unintended consequences for running service instances.

Reg files are functionally equivalent to config files. Instead of `cp foo.conf.bak foo.conf`, just `reg import foo.bak.reg`

Windows processes take command-line parameters and environment variables. None of your points are specific to configuration files - or to Linux. There are even third party jail equivalents for Windows that include registry jailing.
Honestly, having a lawyer on retainer may not be a bad idea in our field. Definitely you want a contract lawyer checking your contract and evaluating them.
> However, most exchanges have transfer fees, on top of whatever costs are incurred on the network by the transfer.

Most might, but Coinbase does not. Outgoing transfers are free—they even cover the network fee. For incoming transfers the sender pays the network fee but there is no additional charge.

It's a bit of a hassle to shift funds around, and not having your funds instantly available on the exchange limits your ability to take advantage of short-term opportunities, but in general I would still recommend self-custody over leaving "large" amounts of crypto on an exchange for very long. That's less due to the risk of bankruptcy and more due to the risk of the exchange getting hacked—practically speaking we have more real-world examples of the latter case, discounting bankruptcy directly resulting from a previous hack.
Sort of, but it is more like echoes. In the first and possibly most well known case the previously Prussian areas of Poland had all of the ethnic Germans forcibly removed. Because of this abrupt and extreme change there must be something else going on since the culture and values in fact changed quite suddenly and yet differentiation endures.
Then specialists will explain that to be able to spend this, other budgets will have to be cut, like healthcare.

If people are stupid and we need to be ruled by elites, then why do we have democracies? Why popular vote? Shouldn't we have PhD's decide who are rulers are?

Lookup "sortition", experiences show that common people tend to make better decison for the good of society, while any "club" (politicians, elites) end up working towards expanding their power.
While probably true in some percentage of cases, isn't that indicative that the underlying issue actually exists?
Visualizing Performance-Critical Dependency Chains
This is a great article. I forgot where I read it, but someone basically said that we need to stop treating soil as just dirt.

I have found out through my research that replacing invasive species and lawns with native plants and also composting organic waste, leaves, and twigs and returning that to your lawn are two of the best things a single person or group of persons can do to thwart climate change. Organic material decomposing in landfills generates methane, which is 26 times more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of its greenhouse effects. Composting organic material generates much, much less methane, and you can use it to return sustenance back to your soil. Instead of taking twigs and leaves and removing it from your property, you can compost them as well and return it back to the soil or also just leave the leaves in some cases. Planting native plants is a big win all around, from soil conditions, to using less or no water or fertilizer, to improving wildlife and pollinator conditions. Additionally, replacing lawns, which should be viewed as wastelands and green deserts, with plants greatly increases carbon capture. These are things that nearly everyone can do literally right now. I've tried finding research, and my current knowledge is that composting could save as much as 8-10% of global emissions and restoring areas with native plants could save as much as 20-30% of global emissions.

A few specific references that I have been using are Nature's Best Hope by Douglas Tallamy, as well as his other books, and the Monarch Gardens project (https://www.monarchgard.com/) by Benjamin Vogt.

It blows my mind that people keep looking for technocratic solutions when we have solutions right in front of us that could be done right now. Take a look around next time you're driving around and just note all the lawn spaces sitting there and doing literally nothing. They could be replaced with native plants with zero negative impact, and it would do wonders for the local ecosystem.

Maybe they were a Lisp-1 person?

I think asking to stop the interview could be a proper way to handle this in the situation. Maybe you can also try talking to the recruiter / hiring manager about your experience.
Leakage tests really should be a strongly enforced part certification. I still find myself taking apart products to add foil tape to them. Go nerdy me I guess?
Coinbase Warns Bankruptcy Could Wipe Out User Funds
Baudrillard strikes again. The entirety of Bitcoin's value is prestige - it has value by being associated with people who are trusted when they say it has value.

MDX, which allows embedding JSX isn't fully declarative, since arbitrary imperative structures can be used in JS blocks in JSX.

That's funny, because I'd have had the exact same response to seeing advice on the form "Just have your accountant ...". Most people barely have a dentist or a GP.

I have to wonder if you know what far left means outside of the US. Because even the furthest left of the Democratic party is barely left-leaning in Europe and most other democracies.
> - If you want to earn big bucks you have to open an LLC and start contracting, which I believe requires a Canadian citizenship. I don't think you can open an LLC with a PR. Doing contract or remote work often requires an LLC

I'm a citizen, but I work as a contractor without having to do anything to create a legal entity. I'm considered self-employed, and a de facto business of one.

I once had a guy in an interview panel pour out a packet of salt and chop it into lines with a credit card at an interview with a major tech company you've heard of. It was like a nervous habit or something. This was back in the late 1990s. I was like WTF.

Ya, you really have to pay attention to red flags, you'll be working (stuck) with them for at least a year, possibly more, and you will depend on them for your livelihood and family's survival.

describing steam as a store in this situation is inaccurate. they are providing the game server, setting up the match making, and enabling the communication between players. it puts them in a more reasonable position to moderate.

> It took much more empathy to read nuance in others' points and not simply write them off as more Trumpist nonsense. Also, see all the times that Trump had a position that had some merit, but yet the opposition Party still staked out a position contrary to it.

Isn't this an actual instance of "the boy who cried wolf"?
Coinbase has locked a lot of people's ETH2 funds - there is no way to currently withdraw them. This was always a strange concept to me, but there are a good chunk of customer's who are literally just stuck with Coinbase, like it or not, with their funds being held hostage.

I know it's a choice, but it's also been like that for many, many months at this point, when I can imagine most people thought "this would only be this way for a few days/weeks".
Sorry, but you picked out the "government funded startups" line. How about the "no real classes" and "don't usually just live on investments"?

Also, it is not true that inheritance defines your wealth in modern capitalism. Most billionaires and almost all millionaires are self made in the US (ie they don't come from billionaire or millionaire parents).

There is no "why" here. Just speculation by no-credibility "experts" and spamming arbitrary facts about what some jobs pay, and misreporting Amazon's base salary as total compensation.
I had a four stage interview process with a startup where I also built a pretty solid plan for how to build their project once I started and when it got to negotiations I asked for $140k, they countered $90k, I said no way I’d do less than $120k, and they ghosted me ever since. Thankfully found something else and sent a final follow up saying I was withdrawing my application but the absolute worst interview process I’ve experienced that late in the process.

If you're able individually as a sole contributor to create 10M of value, sure, off you go, quit you job to go solo and generate all that sweet revenue for yourself.

It turns out someone identifying a market opportunity, getting funding, renting office space, hiring HR, infrastructure, service and support personnel, product designers, QA, sales, etc, etc all costs a surprising amount of money and effort that for some reason all those people feel they deserve to be paid for..
I'd say the meme should be reversed - focus stacking requires multiple photographs, while this one only requires one.
We'd also expect Bob to say something like "Oh crap excuse me, sorry, the server's on fire" as he leaves.
Quantity is usually more expensive than quality in the long run, though. This idea has been succinctly popularized by the "boots theory of socioeconomic unfairness":

>The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

I think much depends on the shape of the lighting bolt and what it hits. I think I was near very vertical strikes, with the bulk of the noise projecting outwards rather than down towards the impact point. Once time the bolt hit flatish ground, the other a metal post, neither were objects that might explode to make their own noise.

Ask HN: Best Android e-reader apps?
Android apps optimized for e-ink usage. I hate using the browser (and it drains my battery) so no web apps.

I'm using Materialistic to browse HN but it really isn't optimized for e-readers. Anything that requires scrolling sucks.

Tachiyomi is great but it's a little cumbersome to use too. I couldn't find an e-ink mode but I disabled animations and more stuff.
The great irony is that you can't really do much to incite violence, no matter how hard you try; the rich and powerful, with their large platforms and massive followings, can do it with very little effort.
Key-value pretty trivially fits into the relationship model if need be. But yeah, if you’re very sure of the key-valueness of your data, something like RocksDB could be a more direct fit. It’s just a little harder to work with in my experience.
This is also how a few hedge funds ( WorldQuant and spinoffs ) get alpha signals/factors for their long/short portfolios. They get 95% of their aggregate alpha/returns from Genetic Programming and not human quant researchers.

This is good advice. Notably, you don't need to use the vendor wallet software either but can use either with e.g. Electrum.

If you really don't want to get a dedicated hardware wallet, the poor-persons choice would be to (in order of preference):

* In case you're really just holding and won't be wanting to transact with it anytime soon, a paper wallet can work. Generate it on an airgapped device and never let the private keys touch a connected device.

* Use a dedicated boot environment. For example: Set up Tails on a USB drive and boot into it on your laptop, or make a fresh install on a raspberry pi or similar. Use Electrum (or bitcoin core qt / cli), store the wallet file only on a separate encrypted USB drive. Don't use this OS install for other things. Prefer connecting only over Tor, I2P, or cjdns.

* A reputable smartphone wallet. A downside here is that you will have to be very diligent with your system updates and have to keep a peripheral eye on if the author gets acquired or goes rouge etc. You'd have to do your own research but Bluewallet seems decent.

* Ignore all the advice and access the keys on your PC anyway. It's possible to do safely but as noted above it has increased risks and requires a lot of diligence.
No idea, but it's worth keeping in mind that documentation isn't always written and edited by developers (because developers aren't always good writers). Maintaining the separation between code and content is a good idea if a company uses technical writers or other non-developer content people.
Wouldn’t D1 introduce network overhead?
This is something I don't think gets discussed enough. In my first 10 years of career I basically doubled my salary, by moving every 2-3 years, but I also now know I am pretty much hitting a plateau, anytime I talk with recruiters and talk about the salary I'd like to move which is about 10-20% (which is pretty reasonable given the benefits I got now) then people express reservations. Some people will end up making 200+ but I for an IC type position it seems to top out around 150 is the max, generally. If you want more you need to be an "Enterprise Architect" or "Director" which that becomes a whole different bag of worms. On the other hand love my job, I have enough money to provide for myself and my family, and am working on getting financially secure and paying off debt so I also don't have a strong drive to make more.

The problem is that cryptocurrency behaves nothing like a fiat currency. There's a reason putting your entire savings in straight cash is not a good idea: Fiat currency doesn't fluctuate the same way because it's not meant to be an investment vehicle. The main goal of currency is to facilitate value exchange. Crypto is the opposite, by prioritizing value gains over value exchange functionality.

Using crypto to buy goods works OK when the price is relatively stable, but as soon as it makes big movement, lots of vendors stop accepting it. Crypto acts more like (and increasingly moves like) stocks, where investors buy in hoping to profit by converting crypto back into cash the same way stocks are sold.
Sad to say, but I think this is both (1) fairly true, and (2) a sign that the world we live in is fairly f*cked up. I'm free to identify as a white male American, without needing to immediately denounce a laundry list - ..., NAMBLA, Nathaniel Hawthorn's ancestors, Nazi sympathizers, negro slavery, NIN's substance abuse, ... - of notorious positions, people, and practices which are publicly associated with white males Americans.

I have noticed that even the L and G (to say nothing of BTQ+) folks who've come out to me in the past 10 years have added "but I am nothing like those {unfavorable words here} who proclaim themselves L's or G's on the web" - generally so fast that I couldn't have gotten a word in edgewise.
>"I appreciate your time, but I don't think I'm a good fit for _company name here_."

I would also suggest this; it signals to the other interviewers that they just lost a potential candidate because of John Doe's behavior. They might take action, but they need to understand the consequence of having that guy on the team, or at least in the interview room.
