It's in favor of the RNA word hypothesis, because it gives a possible explanation of how the first RNA was formed.

IIRC there are other proposed methods to produce RNA. IIUC this method assumes that there are many triphosphates floating around, that is possible but needs another explanation.

So IMHO it's just a tiny step in the right direction, but not a "breakthrough" like some press articles claim.

I’ve had this happen to me before and disclosed it during the interview. Consistently, the response was the interviewer telling me they were impressed that I was well prepared, and to go ahead with the answer.
Closed captions make sense for video content because there are visuals on the screen to follow along with and associate with the text. For podcasts it'll simply be like reading a long article with one sentence displayed like every 15 seconds. If your eyes are anyways on the screen you'd rather turn off the audio and read it at your own pace.

Ask HN: Would you prefer to grind as an entrepreneur or influencer?

greenbit so in your mind what is a viroid? We have examples that are extant of RNA doing this. Sure its exploiting an established RNA system, but the point still stands as there's absolutely no reason you couldn't have viroids dealing with other catalytic networks making RNA. That's sort of the point, at some point everything was wandering viroids among autocatalytic networks with varying survival rates. That gets you selective pressure. Thats the transition you're talking about, from autocatalytic localised chemistry into RNA. The initial fitness benefit of RNA is that for one class of molecule you can have a lot of complex catalytic chemistry AND they have the ability through base pairing to catalyse their own exact replication.
We may never have a definitive answer, but it is very difficult to reconcile the humble circumstances of one William Shakspere (sic) of Avon, with the encyclopedic knowledge and vast experience required to write those plays.
Transcripts largely exist for a different purpose than you seem to want.

They're typically a human-edited version of the podcast that's searchable, skimmable, and can be easily read instead of listening to the podcast.
I usually asked as an interviewer if you had seen the material before. If you were honest, it was very impressive, you could give your solution, and we could also cover other material.

This happened to me with multiple questions when I interviewed for a Facebook internship back in 2010.

I didn't really understand that this was bad (if I wasn't supposed to memorize the answers to all the questions, why were they all online and completely unrelated to the skills needed to be a developer?)

The interviewer got upset and asked me a poorly worded question which I think he made up on the spot.

Inheritance tax solves all these problems, both for the royals as well as our elites. The problem is that our elites have collided to avoid inheritance taxes for centuries, and to keep inheritance taxes to a tiny fraction of the overall estate. There will be no true equality until estate taxes eliminate society’s true freeloaders, the trust fund babies.

You should assume that someone who impresses you without needing time to think likely knew the answer already.
The article isn’t what I expected from the title. It contains a lot of thoughtful advice on writing, improving and sharing documentation.
I am sure you will not have misunderstood "interpretation of" with "subscription to".

Anyway, you are inserting weak ideas into your statements, such as that «ain't dangerous to me». Are you sure? The first exception that comes to mind is that # that acted as a superspreader in the first epicenter in Italy in early 2020 during a marathon.

> like do you really think children are bothered with not being able to version-control files?

I've used lots of "...-1.zip" files to preserve my files when learning coding for fun, so yes, someone showing me git (if it existed at the time) would help. It took me a few extra years to discover CVS/SVN. (the system itself was exciting)

> yeah, why not also teach them law and performing a surgery?

There are kids actually interested in law and finding the concept fun. You may be also shocked that I was really into accounting my allowance and spending in a double entry system. Surgery would be hard for practical/legal reasons, but I know two really young kids, one obsessed with the idea of performing medical procedures, the other with being a paramedic. (and not in a silly "I wanna grow up to be a doctor", but rather "I've found a first aid course for kids I want to do")

What I'm trying to say is, don't assume kids are pushed / forced to do things like that. Some of them really enjoy things adults find hard / boring / too work related.

>The stance of NL and belgium of just banning all games that have gambling elements, is truly the only path forward.

It means that you, the user, don't get to play the games you want to play or it will have no effect. Publishers will figure out ways around it and you're never going to stamp it out as long as there is demand for it.

I don't like Diablo Immortal's monetization, so I don't play it. I suggest everyone else should do the exact same thing. If you're a parent then you should forbid your kid from playing games like that too.

Getting lawmakers involved in regular video games is just going to end in disaster. They're not exactly known for making sensible laws or even understanding the subject matter.
Of course there is some degree of conformity everywhere, but having lived in many different places myself, there are stark differences.

The woman I mentioned speaks six languages because shes lived in as many countries, including the African and the European Mediterranean coast. Her's was a comparison.

Also, all of the countries you listed are Nordic except for India. India, of course, is an extremely rich country, three times the size of Europe with lots different sub-groups. Who were you with in India? The ruling class Brahmins? The English educated children and grandchildren of the mandarin class? Or amongst the day to day laborer?

I don't completely understand your conversation. Maybe the error rate is inflated, but as for:

> . I can't believe there's no ECC between ram and cpu, it's not credible for anything but a cheap home machine.

it is absolutely not wrong: there is no ECC between CPU and RAM for most consumer and desktop computers, and even tons of embedded systems, and that's basically the only bus lacking even basic integrity checks, so there really should be some ECC also there, nearly everywhere.
But there are different amounts and different quality of conformism. The Nordic (as in Germany northward) one is particularly insistent on crushing deviations from the zeitgeist (German word).

I don't understand the comment, sorry. I don't think other streamers are lying, you can pay to get stronger, easily verified by opening the shop and looking at what is available. But it looks like if you play the game as your job, you can still be competitive.

Does it suck that you can pay to get stronger and make the game unfair? Yep, but I'm not convinced it matters if you're playing casually. None of the pay to win stuff changes the game play drastically. You're only really increasing the amount of damage you do, it's not like Path of Exile where some of the really rare items can enable a new type of build or trading card games where certain cards let you build different decks with different playstyles.

Personally, I see no incentive to buy anything. I can clear a level 12 challenge rift, grind slowly and slowly clear higher level ones. Or I could spend a bunch of money and get to do level 20 challenge rifts or whatever. At which point you hit the wall and either pay money or keep grinding. But since the game is all about grinding, why pay to skip forward and grind more?

The equivalent here is if those crypto kids tried to flash the Lamborghini’s transmission or engine ECU firmware with pictures of anime girls. That would definitely merit much closer scrutiny since if the vehicle ever crashes, who is at fault? Who is liable if the tranmission suddenly seized up and the vehicle plows into a group of children at a crossing?

And if the ECU is destroyed during the crash wouldn’t determining faulty firmware be impossible so Lamborghini would get blamed regardless?

So then the only sensible course of action is to lock it down such that no one can ever change sensitive firmware without Lamborghini approval.

This isn’t limited to cars, a Linux iPad could suffer a catastrophic battery explosion on a flight which causes significant consequences, who is liable?

The UK hasn't got something similar to UG because it does not need to.

They made Ltd companies simple and cheap so that there is no need to complicate things like in Germany and most European countries.

Since the vast majority of companies are Ltd companies there isn't any connotation attached to them. You can just look the company up to check how old it is and to convince yourself of its 'trustworthiness'.
>Who cares what these companies want or what their business models are?

A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. You're not going to convince Congress critters to do something that can legitimately be argued to hurt businesses. So you tweak things to create a minmax situation where the businesses can not be said to be injured and we still gain access to abandoned hardware and are able to repurpose it.

The key is to go in with carefully charged words. Abandoned hardware is a good one. So is recycling electronics to extend their usefulness. How can companies argue they're being hurt by competition from abandoned hardware that is just e-waste unless it is allowed to be recycled?

I uninstalled Diablo Immortal last night as the pull to spend money was getting greater in my mind. I’ve been very sick for a couple weeks and basically bed bound, so this game was mindless and seemed fun. I got to “max level” (which is nothing of the sort the game essentially has infinite progression), and Back when I worked a dead end call center job working 80 hours a week I spent basically $100 a day on a Japanese free to play mobile game. It consumed my life and I was super depressed anyway. I felt that same feeling last night to just spend $100 “for fun” and realized how bad this game was going to be for me. These games manage to tickle that hyper competitive part of my brain that wants to “win at any cost”. So I’ll spend money I shouldn’t on a game.
Not to mention the weather.

Part of the trade off I make personally for affordable housing is not really wanting to go outside from November to March because the weather sucks.

If you live in an area that has perfect weather you are always going to have a demand problem and high prices from people wanting to move to those areas.
I’ve been working professionally as a developer for 25 years. What is now called leetcode was part of my day job on and off from 1996-2012 as I wrote low level cross platform C code, a little assembly, maintained a proprietary Windows CE compiler tool chain (long ugly story).

But DS&A style interviews don’t come anywhere near testing the type of work that most developers will be doing day to day in 2022.
> but given the choice between someone who needs time and space to think, and someone who doesn't.

I’ve worked with people who needed time to think, but at the end of that time came up with better solutions than the people who were quicker.

High pressure leetcode tests select for a specific type of thinker who may or may not be good at solving the problems you’re actually hiring them for.

> but are there better options

I’ve had success pair programming together on a problem you both don’t know the immediate answer to. I’ve also had success with allowing candidates to choose take home assignments.

I’ve also had success doing what every other other industry does: trust their resume, ask them to talk me through projects, and talk to references. Then fire them quickly if it turns out they are one of those dreaded fake programmers that everyone is worried about.
Ya, this is hard. I bombed an Amazon interview because the interviewer asked me Alien Dictionary, a well known LeetCode problem that I already worked out while practicing. I told her outright that this was a problem everyone practiced, but she still dinged me for already knowing the answer and not going through the “figure this out flow” (admittedly, I could have handled that better, but it is actually difficult to work through something that you know the answer to but forgot how you got the answer).

At least it was for a job I probably wouldn’t have taken.
Totally agree, had tons of bad experiences with Amazon. If all goes well you'll get a working low quality item.

My checklist is:
1. Check the item on all AliExpress
2. If you think your country will steal some money at customs, factor that in (for small cheap items you should be fine) / consider whether you're happy to wait a few weeks
3. Check eBay for new items
4. Check local stores
5. Check Amazon and try to put enough daily crap (toothpaste, protein bars, whatever) to reach free shipping

Wouldn't that be invalidated by games no longer working? They were very eager to move to cloud gaming, always on networking style DRM but once the servers are down and the games become less and less functional or stop working altogether that excuse goes bye-bye, doesn't it?

README…

It's basically a fail2ban for windows. Its goals are also mainly what we love about fail2ban:

pre-configured
no-initial-ducking-around-with-scripts-or-config-files
install-and-forget
You can download it here ( v2.1.5 - April 2022 ) .

Also, we love issues!

If anyone needs something or has questions about something, please feel free to open an issue. We are especially happy to get issues about log-entry samples we don't react on, or ideas of how we can support more protocols.

A bit more detailed description of what EvlWatcher does.

Scenario: there are those bad people out there, hammering your service (RDP and whatnot) with brute force attempts.

You can see them and their IPs clearly in the Windows Event-Log.

You have searched the web and yea, there are plenty of tools, scripts, and all that, to read the event-log and automatically ban the attackers IP.

You however, are lazy. You need something like fail2ban, with a preconfigured set of rules to just RUN right away and it works.

But then, it still needs enough flexibility for you to completely configure it, should you wish to do so.
EvlWatcher does that. It scans the Windows-Event-Log, and reacts.

It works by installing a service that scans the event log for unsuccessful login attempts. When one of its rules are violated (e.g. trying to log in without correct credentials, more than 5 times in 2 minutes), it will place that poor bastard into a generic firewall rule, and thereby ban the attacker for 2 hours.

Also, when someone is repeatedly trying, there is a permanent ban list for that, where people defaultly land on when they've had three strikes.

You can, of course, adjust the rules to your liking. They are basically a consisting of an event source, and a Regex to extract an IP, its pretty simple.
> There are literally billions of places you can trickle charge an EV in the US.

I'd like to agree with the statement Cheating is bad. I don't think that's overly broad and generalized, or not nuanced and complex enough, or naive. Like the GP, I'm amazed at the number of people on here[0] who somehow seem to think cheating is fine. In real life I've never heard anyone defending cheating as ever a good thing, I guess. When I hear the word "cheating", it..just sounds like an obviously bad thing. Seems not everyone has that response?! I would have thought it's basic to human decency.

RNA first is about stored heritable genetic information? At least I've not met anyone who's in some hardline way RNA miraculously appears and starts creating the auto catalytic networks second. How does the RNA appear? Slowly at random from nothing? Why would anyone think this, it doesn't pass thought experiment level parsimony. The reason to highlight RNA first is because if you just looked at whats alive now you might assume DNA is the older molecule in use as its the primary store of genetic information for most things alive right now. The big idea is that it wasn't. That doesn't mean everyone means its the first molecule to exist in the history of molecular life...
