> For some people sure, but not all, and I would even go as far as to say not the main intention of the original product.

It certainly wasn't the "main intention of the original product," but Bitcoin failed at that. A big part of that failure was the peculiar ideology that got baked in through many of its design decisions.
You sound like all the snobs who tell me my $10 (well, they're $15 now) harbor freight angle grinders are crap compared to their $100 Milwaukee

You know who never has to swap between wheels because he always has a grinder that already has what he wants on it?

How many people in India had exactly the same idea at the same time?

If 1 billion people suddenly all wanted to go to the same restaurant, or do anything that involves certain form of capacity, that system would collapse.

Then, companies want to keep people under H1B as long as possible because H1B is a form of control.
I just happened to go to the website this morning ([un]ironically some friends are coming to town and their host cancelled on them).

At least for me this new design is unusable. All I wanted to do is enter a city/zip and I couldn't figure it how to do it. It feels like they are really pushing those high end lifestyle/adventure/experience options.
It's not that hard for me to fathom. Cryptocurrency is a speculative bubble, and it has attracted a huge number of investors who are looking for easy ways to invest. Coinbase makes speculating in cryptocurrency easy. Managing your own wallet is not easy for the average speculator.

Florida's HB 1557 doesn't go that far, but the rhetoric that people use to support it has echoes of fascism. All of the right-wing talking points around trans issues equate teaching kids about lgbt issues to pedophilia. For many supporters, even walking around as trans is seen as sexual deviant and dangerous. When a bill is passed that enshrines into law that "it is bad to tell kids about this person", and the supporters casually say "breaking this law is pedophilia", what do you think is going to happen to trans people trying to live their lives in Florida?

Quit and work for myself. Personally I'm sick of the capped upside with working in tech (among myriad other issues) and the kinda shit you have to pull to raise it.

Key lessons from my first engineering job
> I've had an interviewer laugh in my face when I told them my favorite language was Scheme.

Anyone who has contempt for the beauty of Scheme is a liability, not an asset, to your team and you can safely recommend no-hire.
Why would a single person need to buy a 3 bedroom home (the median American home size)? A household with two $120k earners can very comfortably afford a $1 million home at current mortgage rates.
I’ve had a couple phone interviewers get much too aggressive at which point I told them it looks like they’ll need to find another candidate. Strangely, they both called and emailed back apologizing at which point I went elsewhere on my merry way. I think it’s necessary to have a certain amount of patience with interviewers but that certain boundaries have to be respected.
You may have meant this ironically/sarcastically, but it is entirely true. I'm a very happy owner of a fast-charging EV6. For longevity, slow overnight charging almost always just goes to 80%. I only need about 25% of the pack for my daily commute, and lithium battery degradation is dominated by time at high state-of-charge and temperature.

For road trips, the battery charges up to 80% capacity in about 18 minutes on a fast charger (with some caveats when its cold). Charging rate rapidly falls off with increasing state-of-charge, so you're almost always better off just hitting the road at that point. But since you don't actually discharge all the way down to zero, the fast charge cycle realistically only takes 12-15 minutes. The only times that I've taken it to 100% (125%!) were immediately prior to a road trip segment on the overnight slow charger, or for a quarterly balancing charge.

That's all with today's technology on a commercially available product. So this technology can only offer an incremental decrease in weight and/or increase in range.
Maybe that's an explanation why Apple devices (and only those) were burned by an EMP ?

It was helium that disabled the phones, not an EMP. On top of the fact that this occurred, AFAICT, before Apple was putting Ultra Wideband into phones (iPhone 11 was the first, 2019).
Sadly, discourse on reddit has not been worth the time of day since 2015 or so.
So long as there is a labor shortage, workers will reasonably feel underpaid, knowing they have a better deal elsewhere. Just like in a recession people feel lucky to have a job. As for causes, US work visas have been cut while pandemic fueled increased demand for online services. And India/China still have not recovered from the pandemic to the same degree as US.
When people can't afford paying the interest of their 10 million sek house loan, supply and demand matters very little.

It all depends on how high interest rates go.
Having sat on many panels I'll suggest there might be reasons why
someone might seem rude. After a great curry the night before I once
had to interview holding back what we call "Gandhi's revenge" around
here. The scowl on my face probably terrified the poor kid, and then I
made a dash for the toilet.

Practice interacting and being in a professional conversant situation
without reading too deeply into what you think is going on for the
other person. Accept the situation on face value with the best and
worst interpretations in mind, but not in effect. That's good for
negotiating too. If you feel on the defensive because of an implied
power relation, or misunderstanding, hold that thought, wait and see,
it could get interesting.

Since you allocated the time anyway, make the best of a recon
opportunity. If the interviewer is being rude, the fact that you are
unruffled makes you the bigger person. Smile politely and you may
unbalance them. Save any grand decision for the end.
what is the end of the story?
This should either be so obvious it doesn't have to be said at all, or so important to those unaware that its the top comment. Somehow HN failed both of those but given their predilections on 'crypto' I'm not surprised.
Yes. I want specialists debate ideas out in the open, not politicians forging stronger alliances to support parties of heterogeneous agendas.
FreeBSD definitely doesn't create /usr as a separate filesystem by default. I think some people still do that, but I have no idea why.
Are you guys using litestream or a similar approach? E.g storing WAL frames in a durable object.
Just clarifying - D1 without read replicas is strongly consistent. If you add read replicas, those can have replication lag and will not be strongly consistent.

In case anyone doesn't know, there is only one company that this law would apply to - Disney. No other copyright would be shorted. It is the only company with the classification and market cap that is stated in the bill.

I think the copyright law does need to be revised. But making it apply to only Disney, as Hawley is intending, doesn't fix the system. Just makes another problem to sort when it will need to be fixed.
For sure, and doubly(?) bad when some system dialog pops up, with "Reboot now" or "Confirm, upgrade" selected, so the "enter" key for the command you were cheerfully typing now causes havoc

To the author: the initial for loop is not equivalent to a do/while loop. The condition of the for loop is executed before the loop runs. e.g. the loop body will never run if *count == 0.

I will post a separate comment too.
Nowhere does my post indicate that I think I'm the "sole reason" the company makes any money. We are all just cogs in the machine. But, as with anyone who makes the product, we are a huge part of the reason the company is in business and it would be nice if management would stop looking down at us. Maybe they should be looking up to us instead. (And if you disagree, read into the tone of the article.... "techies"??? Ideas for paying us less?)

Not to discount other departments like marketing or operations -- they are important too. But they don't make the product, they are more numerous, and more interchangeable.
It isn't discrimination to actively search out minority hires and to encourage and help them apply to an open interview process. This is called positive action.

The actual selection process cannot discriminate.

There's obviously a lot of Twitter comments to take in and out of context, but just because you put some [rightly] questionable comments next to positive action doesn't mean discriminatory hiring processes.
> If I was not producing enough for the tribe or group I would be left behind or worse. The strong ones had the most food, women, and best spot in the 'cave' i.e. inequality.

There were no known tribes over ten thousand years ago, there were bands. In your perception, children abandoned their parents to death when they aged, which is not behavior anthropologists observed in modern hunter gatherer bands. Also, anthropologists observer modern hunter gatherer bands eating gathered berries and the hunt in communal meals. You do not have one man with multiple wives/concubines/mistresses in the manner of the class societies following this - although often all the fertile men and women who are not close relations are sleeping with one another. Your picture of pre-class society does not jibe with archeological finds of old societies or anthropological observations of modern ones.
More tech people means more tech business means more tech demand. I don't see the problem. Immigrants tend to be much more entrepreneurial and create disproportionate opportunities for business.
It would be a bit weird to stop reading mid-Tweet though. After the comma he says Coinbase added a new risk factor to the list as required by the SEC.
There was interest in the source code so I open sourced it: https://github.com/jasonjmcghee/viz-studio
But why wouldn't they want to have copyright be re-registered (for a fee) every X years? That would allow people who still make money on copyrighted works to keep their business model, yet also allow abandoned works to enter the public domain. And it keeps companies from hoarding copyrights over works they aren't actively making available for sale.

Not only that, this can bring in extra revenue from sources that aren't voters (although those sources do have more lobbying power than voters).
I think the most successful attempt would be Realm.

TL;DR

High tech workers feel underpaid, so here's how to continue to underpay them and make them feel okay about it.
Agreed although I’ve had interviews that taught me quite a bit about the company and the interviewer. This then became useful career information for industry practices and useful skills to develop.
It isn't as much as folks who need Postgres features are moving to SQLite just because it is cool, but it is folks who don't want those Postgres features moving to SQLite, because the latter has just enough features they only ever really need.
You can 100% create and manage your own wallets on your own hardware. However, most exchanges have transfer fees, on top of whatever costs are incurred on the network by the transfer. And, if you want to sell on an exchange, you likely need to transfer the tokens into the exchange wallet anyways.

If someone is buying crypto to hold it for years, then wallets and hardware keys and 12-word passphrases make the most sense.

If you're not sure if you'll hold a coin for long, or are speculating, or have less than $5k on the exchange, it might not be worth the hassle (for the indeterminate 'you') to create and manage your own wallets.
> Replacing one currency not under the government's control with another doesn't seem to achieve all that much

Slight correction: They are replacing one currency that is not under their government's control, with one that is not under any government's control.
New products getting a lot of mileage out of sqlite is old-hat at this point. It one of those rare evergreen techs - pay attention for a while and this latest round of attention will die down for 6-12 months then someone else will start another round of "look how cool sqlite is".

At least that's been my observation since I started coming around here.
People will seek positions of power and use “favors” as currency instead.
Not an american thing, but rather old-fashioned. A long time ago, well-to-do Britons had a "family lawyer". Not on retainer; but he knew the family business (so didn't need briefing), and he dealt with wills, property, that kind of thing. Like a family doctor, rather than a specialist consultant.

Nowadays only the very rich can claim to have a "family lawyer".
Those may be true, but I always assumed that the US of A aspires to do better, American exceptionalism, land of opportunity and all that jazz.
I suspect the "Worse is Better" essay has caused untold harm. It is written from the standpoint of a purist offended that the world doesn't appreciate purity, complaining that the things people end up using are built by pragmatic people. The lesson seems to be that doing things better is punished. But that is the wrong lesson.

The correct lesson is that the real world is not obliged to conform to your personal model of "better". You have a personal obligation to continuously adapt your model to match the real world. This is the model of science, and is opposed to Platonism. After you have adjusted your model, it is certain to still not be right, and need further adjustment.

Usually "the world" you are obliged to adjust to has its own problems. There are powerful forces making us favor accommodating a Microsoft execution environment, even though that execution environment has always been a cesspit. It represents its own poor abstraction. Posix file system semantics are another example. Von Neumann architecture and the C abstract machine are not the only, or best way to organize computational resources. It is important to recognize when somebody else's pragmatic failure threatens to taint your own models.

Lisp, RG's hobbyhorse, didn't get sidelined because of Philistines. Lisp turned out not to be better, despite how strongly RG felt about it. Instead of figuring out what about Lisp was not right, he called things that were, along axes that matter, more right "worse", preserving his personal model and lessening readers' ability to reason about merit.
This is known as wage compression. It is occurring (typical in hot job markets) and has many of the problems you noted. Good indicator of a distorted labor market.
Anecdotally, the movement I've seen largely results in consolidation of 'like-minds', rather than a culture-mixing diaspora that results in a greater balance of varied perspectives. I hope my limited experience isn't the norm, but I suspect it is.
Commenter in question has yet to articulate their points. You're already pushing "government funding startups quite heavily", which original comment never specified, and "heavy" is still too vague to quantify. Even so, this doesn't answer why 2 wouldn't work. Unlike communism, there are clear incentives for individuals to provide merit and do better other than "hoping to see your hard work trickle back". Unlike modern day capitalism, your future isn't largely decided by your (lack of) inheritance. The only thing that holds is corruption, but really, you'd have an easier time listing things that don't get worse for the commoner when corrupted.

Nevertheless, the point isn't "this is Western Europe". The point is, you were already going off the deep end with a Soviet Union comparison, while 2 the way it is described is still a far cry from it. We don't need to choose between the extremes of capitalism and communism when there's something in the middle that can work out better, and we have yet to explore it. It's pretty evident unbridled capitalism isn't helping in several aspects either, even if it is holding together longer than Animal Farm.

Risk and income inequality still apply to society 2 as important factors.
If I was born in a country with an extremely bad immigration system, I lose the right to complain about the bad-but-maybe-not-as-bad immigration system in another country that I'm trying to immigrate to?

Oh, I got it now, so there were more characters than they typed.
Also, I often see developers running to the abstractions they know (cough design patterns...) mostly because they're very afraid of acknowledging they haven't grasped the real complexity of a domain. By the time a pragmatic efficient design emerges, you're on the second or third rewrite...
I get that's true in some situations, but is it true in all cases? Say I rent a safe deposit box, put valuable personal property in it, and the bank goes bankrupt. Does the bankruptcy court sell the box-holders' personal property until the bondholders are made whole?

It seems like depositors should be one of the first in line, certainly before bondholders.
With this we can probably switch our infrastructure off AWS and entirely onto Cloudflare.
I didn't say the report can be false. It just needs to be credible enough to raise the question, mainly to a journalist writing a short article on a 2-hour deadline. The report being challenged by the 1 in 10000 people who actually read it is mostly inconsequential after publishing, when talking about retail investors.

Any claims of correctness / moral righteousness when it comes to short-seller reports, in either direction, will always be fuzzy. It's impossible to avoid the inherent conflict of interest.

You're making the wrong comparison.

Did VISA, in the 1970s, kick people off of their network 'because speech'?

Did ABC Shipping refuse customers, 'because speech'?

That's not 'platforming' - those are just businesses that do business.

Second - what happened in the past is irrelevant.

Businesses should not really vetting customers unless there's a material reason.

Certainly banks, telcos, retail - should be barred from this. VISA is not 'platforming' anyone, that's ridiculous.

Twitter, Appstore - because they are directly related to the content, this is more arguably 'platforming' and there's more likely to be some kind of content management, but we have to be very careful about it.
> You ask them and see what they have to say about it.

This is not good advice.

Don't squander your interview time on such HR nonsense. You're there to market yourself, it's a first impression type situation where you have the inquisitive attention of multiple stakeholders.

For all you know that guy who's already left the interview process is just a Scheme hater and has basically done everything within his power to obstruct a Scheme enthusiast from finding a job.

Voluntarily squandering more of your interview time on friction he created is not in your best interest, it's just empowering him.

If you later are concerned with offer in hand, you can always have that conversation before accepting. At least that way you've demonstrated an ability to prioritize your use of time appropriately and not simply react emotionally in the moment.

I too am eagerly waiting for a good serverless nodejs framework that is "batteries included". I've deployed on Lambda using the "Serverless Framework" but once your app grows to a certain size everything starts to fall apart and you lose some of the magic. Unfortunately, most of the things that advertise themselves as serverless/lambda/worker nodejs frameworks are monoliths and/or an existing monolith framework that "supports" lambda (with a billion asterisks after that). There is absolutely nothing wrong with monolith frameworks, I love them, but just not for lambda, I want to deploy a single endpoint as a single function (or as a cron, or queue listener, etc), not all of my code for every function (you hit size limits quick with this method).

I want express/nestjs/etc-type routes that I define with code or annotations that result in /only/ that function (endpoint) being bundled up and deployed. I ended up rolling my own "framework" on top of Serverless Framework (uses serverless.ts config file that scans my directories for a special file that defines the routes defined in that directory) but Serverless Framework is pretty shaky ground. Their documentation is a mess, Serverless Components appears dead, and they seem to be busy with their own "cloud" so I don't know how much longer I can keep building on top of them.

When it works it's like magic but there are a ton of walls you run headfirst into: Cloud formation entity limits, package size limits, typescript/bundling support, clear disregard for medium/large projects ("Just use multiple services", this leads to a terrible dev experience), and long deploy times.

I wish CF Workers had been out when I first started building my current project, I might have gone in that direction instead, I still might.
It was a very small, very early stage startup. All the people in the company were interviewing me at the same time (live, in-person, in one room), and if I was hired I'd work intimately with all of them.
Am I so out of touch that this sounds insane? Mortgages are leverage and that's a whole lot of it.
