> With a UBI funded by an income tax you're never worse off earning more.

Provided you can earn more without putting in any more effort; otherwise marginal effort eventually exceeds marginal net income, and the income tax shifts that crossover point toward a lower income where the effort remains worthwhile.
> Take it to the other extreme and you get folks who can’t even solve fizzbuzz. So some coding bar is good.

Sounds like the epitome of a slippery slope, to be honest.

Some people are going to say FizzBuzz (or similar) are a good enough bar.

More people are going to say 2Sum is a good enough bar.

Even more people are going to say Longest Common Substring is a good enough bar.

{...}

And the cycle will continue, because people who will have been asked such things will (most of the time) feel like 1) they've been asked it before, so now they must ask it, 2) they can solve it and feel anyone can solve it (in theory this is fine but in practice, not everyone can solve a problem in 45 minutes that they've never seen or never fully solved before).

Which reminds me of when I was going to college and I frequently had professors or TA's say X problem from the problem set is an "easy" one. Well, yeah, you're the professor or TA (for a reason) and you're the one giving it, of course you'd know how to solve it and such.
> Do you believe people never received help before the government came along?

Prior to such programs, level of help was far more variable and often dependent mostly on family.

Ironically, frontend engineers are exactly why we ended up with this problem in the first place. The rewrite of the frontend wasn't about engagement or dark patterns (those could have been implemented just fine with the old UI), it's that they had a significant dev team (& managers, UI/product designers, etc) and needed them to do something, so a rewrite was kicked off, and now it's too late to turn back while saving face.

They would've ended up in a better position had they just given these people one year of PTO instead of having them "fix" things that aren't broken just to keep them busy.
Believe you me, I even visited that region once, so I am familiar with the Eiger (as well as the Mönch and Jungfrau) peaks, as well as the Aletsch glacier, but I had never heard of the Massa river before (probably because it only has that name for 7 km before it flows into the Rhône). So I still think the naming is unfortunate...
That is interesting. Out of curiosity did those foods have a lot of PUFAs? More MUFAs? Saturated fats?

There is not fine line we are just flat out dumber than rocks. Its incredibly simple in fact. Lets talk about subject of the article disability income.

Someone with a projected lifespan of 20-30 more years, 2000 a month income, and no projected time frame in which they are expected to be able to earn an income who is actually successfully subsisting on that income of 2000 a month needs an input of 24000 per year to go on subsisting indefinably adjusting for inflation.

If they had $48,000 in the bank it wouldn't meaningfully effect their need. In fact making them spend down everything they have before helping them is pretty stupid it renders their life very fragile and less likely to be stable long term and doesn't even save much money. The equation begins to change only when funds on hand are sufficient to meaningfully change inflow or pay for capital investment like buying a home outright or buying a second property for income.

The turnover figure where someone doesn't NEED to have an actual income is actually reasonable measured in YEARS of income whereas the actual figure is now a single month of income.

For an alternative look at health insurance. It's possible to go from free insurance to no insurance based on a 10c an hour raise at your part time job. Most reasonable upward economic trajectories move through successively better paying positions towards healthy finances. However if you can in a single small raise go from +2% wages to -50% actual economic health moving upwards might be a quick path to homelessness before you can actually complete your upward path. This is especially true when yourself + spouse costs not 2x the cost of insuring yourself but more like 3x.

A non moronic idea might be to allow poor people to keep the same insurance that used to be free at an increasing cost such that any raise at all was ALWAYS a step up.

> the people who pay may be legitimately resentful when their money is going to strangers who don't in fact need it.

Sane solutions are not found by appealing to the emotions of ignorant, selfish, hateful people. They are found by doing math and projecting the probable results of the effect of alternative policies.

the United States does not guarantee constitutional rights to non-citizens who have not touched US soil

I can't find this detail in my copy of the constitution. 6A in particular specifies "the accused". It's true that most Gitmo prisoners were never actually accused of anything (because they had never done anything, in particular anything related to actions undertaken by Saudi nationals under the direction of Saudi intelligence personnel), and were eventually released without apology. However, any prisoner who ever actually went to trial would certainly be classified as "accused".
What if some of the allegations are partially true, or there's context to the allegation that matters?

Check out Tim Roughgarden’s course on Foundations of Blockchains, Jimmy. Current iteration of web3 and DeFi is a lot of hot air and BS but I think the general idea of trustless computation is bigger than just Bitcoin and that new applications will arise given time.

Being at the author's talk earlier today, that wasn't really the spirit that it was given in. The author isn't really talking about "defeating" TLS as a technical control more as he is talking about "defeating" it as an annoyance when reverse engineering.

It's meant more as a showcase of how eBPF can be applied to a technical challenge, as opposed to the author claiming they fundamentally broke TLS.
Why not base FireOS on GrapheneOS? Natural synergy in that they are ripping out the Google-specific bits which sets the stage for them to add in the Amazon-specific bits. Seems like it would be a win-win to me.

(Even better would be if the Fire devices could be loaded with GrapheneOS so they didn't phone home to Amazon either, but I get that Amazon sells these things at a loss in order to make it up on sales of digital content.)

... no. The price of Ethereum in USDC is irrelevant. There is no arbitrage to be had. If the price of USDC falls, you have to spend more and more USDC to mint one Dai because Dai is tied to the price of the dollar, not USDC.

Explain to me how you arbitrage USDC falling out of Dai?

I really encourage you to read up more on this. There are real risks that come with Dai as a stablecoin (including eth or USDC collapsing very quickly) but they are not the risks that you are identifying.
ACT therapy is nice and was an important step for me to develop more mindfulness, but not the full solution.

I found ACT to be a bit like relying on willpower. There were only so many times I was “willing” to move forward with my feelings when my thoughts and feelings are working against the task, before I give in and give up.

They eventually win out.
Literally nobody is disputing that charities in places of worship "ever helped anyone". What's in dispute is whether they would have sufficient resources and the will to help everyone.

There are plenty of stories about religious programs refusing to help those outside of their religion which presents a pretty big problem if we're supposed to rely on them for universal charity.

This.

I’m a recovered amphetamine (Adderall) addict. I was enslaved to amphetamines for over 10 years. I started taking pills in college because they helped me focus and get things done, but I quickly fell into addiction and abuse.

Talked my psychiatrist into giving me ever higher doses. Frequently stole my wife’s ADHD medication after burning through all of my own. I couldn’t stop.

It all started (somewhat) innocently enough…

Yes it’s capable of giving you super powers at work, but it’s also really quite dangerous from an addiction standpoint.
I don't know, my impression from a few years ago is that a lot of the worst, most exhausting people from Twitter got persuaded to use Mastodon, ironically on the grounds that it should do better job at moderation. Mix this with people who are in it for the decentralization and those who see decentralization as a means to withstand censorship, and the overall feel was ... not the best.

My local farm supplier had a similar lament. He competes with a COOP. Used to order fertilizer by the truckload, but the COOP ordered it by the train-car. So he had to as well, to get the better volume price.

Then the COOP got bigger, ordered a trainload. So he had to. Then they went up to a barge. Then a barge train.

It's the future. We cannot say "Let's all pay less for everything!" and "Lets keep using inefficient transport!" without being hypocritical.

As someone with a close friend who has a childhood disability, the parent poster is pretty on the money. It does seem to depend which state you're in, because disability is administered by the state. Deep red states tend to make it miserable to work with them so people will just give up. I've heard so many stories of disabled people getting yelled at and told they're faking their very real conditions. It's disgusting.
I regularly take long distance flights.

FlixBus seats, when reclined, are on par with economy seats in any airline I used. But FlixBus seats have considerable more legroom.

Also the bus takes breaks on journeys that last for that many hours.

Even some of the direct FlixBuses Berlin–Hamburg (3.5hs) take a 5min break at a petrol station somewhere in the middle of the journey.

How fast is magic wormhole? In my experience most of the new(er) file transfer apps based on WebRTC are just barely faster than Bluetooth and are unable to saturate the bandwidth. I am not sure if the bottleneck is in the WebRTC stack or whether there is something fundamentally wrong about the protocol itself.
The ability to do that will be highly traffic dependent. In practice, driving that fast when possible doesn't shave more than a few minutes time off the overall travel duration from my own experience.
You’re exactly right. The German system is setup so that you make use of it only if you are on average or below average income. Anything more is a diminishing return. This is for pension, maternal/paternal leave, health insurance etc. The reasoning being that “so we have more equal society”. Yes equal but there simply is no incentive to progress without being penalized. The lucky ones are those with “old money” or those who prefer to rely on the system instead of themselves.
The excessively phallic architecture was buried with great prejudice, apparently. making it the first known triumph of matriarchal justice and an example for the modern feminist movement, surely?

This process still relied on screening, including technical screens. The biggest difference is that it substituted a day of whiteboard interviews with a day of pairing, which we found to produce better results, and candidates really liked too.

Also a good example because there's actually been recent push back on mammography because the risks may outweigh the rewards (especially in younger age brackets). More testing does not automatically equal better outcomes. Here's one summary from the Nordic Cochrane Center (for those that don't know Cochrane is one of the gold standard organizations for evaluating the quality of biomedical research via systematic reviews https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochrane_(organisation) ):

Oh, I agree. Savings of some form should be encouraged. Various cliffs are bad policy.

I’d rather some form of UBI-like assistance. Single program, means tested but no cliffs(just a gradual phase out of some sort), and no limits on what the assistance is spent on.
Great presentation. Any thoughts on including these tricks directly into wireshark to allow fluid decryption at least on the Linux client where CAP_BPF is present?
Ask HN: Follow.up SaaS. Is there such a thing? There should be
By nature, I am very well organized and conscientious; it's a natural progression that I work in operations. Often, I feel that part of my job is just babysitting, reminding people to do their job, and constantly reminding them of deliverables, some large and some small but essential. So I and my three reports spend a lot of time reminding people of their deliverables and deadlines. As I said, babysitting.
There are two drawbacks:
1) It's stupid, tedious, and a waste of time. Oh yeah, and most of them are executives!
2) If we get caught in the middle of a s-storms, some things inevitably fall within the cracks.

Today we hack the solution of tracking things via a google sheet, but it's tedious, long, and it cannot be partially shared with the interested parties.

Is there a SaaS where I can set up a task, add attachments, add links, then share it with an email address; then the receiver gets reminded on a timely basis (selected on an individual case basis) of the die deliverables?
Best if there's a reporting module.

> Intel configured the chips such that they turbo boost so high that they overheat and downclock themselves to compensate.

Yes, this is optimal and what literally everyone wants.

An airplane takes off at full power, reaches cruising speed, and reduces power to maintain cruising speed.

A CPU uses max power until it reaches its max operating temperature, then it maintains that temperature operating at lower power.

Why does the latter offend you when it's exactly the same as the former?

> Still "no" level of understanding?

Sadly, yes.

> don't tear them down.

This conversation started with you tearing down thousands of expert electrical engineers who make Intel CPUs.
Still kinda goofy to bring up due to the automated attacks that don't take "getting lost in time" to happen — they happen as soon as you're open to the public..

> Offer low tech debt

A company that actually takes tech debt seriously is worth it's weight in gold.
Yeah there's the whole wisdom of not abiding "assholes", no matter how good they are. Not saying this guy's an asshole necessarily, but if someone wants to undermine company rules by thinking they don't apply, that can have a big impact on morale and culture and be much worse than losing a "star". People can argue that apple should stay remote, and maybe there's an argument they should have, but accepting they require employees to be in-person letting this guy leave was definitely the right move.
Yes, but that's a government site that's got an explicitly universal audience and is also pretty lightweight already.

If you're making a game, say, you may (may!) not care if Edna can't load it on a 1993 iMac, and you might be loading 40MB of resources, so another 24kB is not your pressing problem.

Engineering effort is always in short supply, and it is very expensive. Use it wisely. Sweeping judgements gleaned from very different products may not apply to your case.
To be fair, OP's speed of progress involved aptitude and diligence, even if you discard smarts. It's true that when you work five years at a code base, you probably become an authority in it because at some point it is yours too, but I've known developers who would never achieve that state.

That being said, tech megacorps are stressful environments, and OP looks like he has his plate full just accepting that he's become the de-facto lead developer. OP built his own niche market, why not dial it back a bit from eleven and learn to enjoy it?
one thing tons of people don't understand is that interviews are two way streets. companies are getting to know you, but you are also getting to know the company.

as you said, i would never work at a company with bad interviewing practices because it means that either the employees were hired by these bad practices OR the practices changed and no one cares.
I live in france, and a few "counties" (départements) implemented such thing, at a higher amount (about 20k), but for welfare recipients. The amount is about 500 euros per month.

Some sued and got the decision canceled.

I guess it's an in-progress situation as the new government will try to pay all welfare potential recipients, not only just the ones who ask for it (about 1/3 of people who are eligible don't file for welfare). It's a bit of a problem because "counties" have more recipients than others, so it should be the whole state of france to take care of it.

But the further we replace the spirit of charity with an impersonal, dysfunctional system of coercion, the harder it is to realize that world.

For every time I've heard someone say that cannabis is a pancea, I've heard 100 people say people need to stop calling it a panacea. It's so tiresome.

> turn me into an idiot pot-head that burned away a big part of his teenage years

Pfft, you did that, not cannabis. Cannabis didn't hold a gun to your head and say smoke me, like heroin or nicotine. Yeah, under 18yos shouldn't smoke. That point gets lost in all the nonsense left over from decades of misinformation. Making it illegal makes that issue far worse, through increased availability to teenagers, and awful contaminants.

And yeah, THC has a (poorly understood and far from straightforward) link with psychosis. So if you're feeling that, then get a high CBD strain, or don't smoke. That's common knowledge and not something to twist your pants over.
