> What is it with the Musk hate?

Repeated promises and claims which turn out false.

He is extremely arrogant and annoying. For example used "Pedo Guy" as insult at Twitter toward someone who committed crime of disagreeing with him, proceeded to claim that this does not mean "pedophile" in court.

And claimed that this person "married" 12 year old girl (actually, she was 32 years old).

Also, Musk has bunch of annoying fans.

(that is among some legitimate reasons, many hate him BECAUSE he is successful)

> dozen other things that will save humanity

That is really overstating it, and case of annoying fanboyism.

(personally I appreciate some achievements and see his role in that - without giving 100% credit to leader, confused why people praise some projects already, but see no reason to engage in fanboyism or Musk hate)
People working from India tend to work between 5pm-1am local time which is 5am-1pm US time. That's effectively till lunch which is a pretty good overlap. Bonus, you are left meetings-free for the other half so it is solid work time. It also leaves you free during the day rather than the night, so you get to do other things.
So they just straight up scamming people now?

It's time already that someone shows some of that potential and it better not be something like NFTs!

Reminds me of a time the comments section of my university's student newspaper practically melted down with angry criticism from a mixture of Chinese students and random Chinese people who had read Chinese social media when a student wrote a not-particularly-great but also pretty mild article about not trusting Chinese foreign policy.

I've been using Shaarli, https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli, for several years. It's proved very useful.

I like OP's idea of automated PDF save.

For Android users, one strong point of Shaarli is that there's a companion app, https://github.com/dimtion/Shaarlier, that allows you to save notes/links through the Android share menu.
We already have this on Macbooks/Macs. macOS has SIP (System Integrity Protection) for example which you (Developers) can turn off to get full access. The average person does not even know this setting exists.
So the solution is quite simple.

I'm afraid Apple will frustrate the process though; Like, if you turn off "SIP" on iOS, they will disable Apple Pay, everything related to DRM videos (including Netflix, etc), DRM music (including Spotify, etc.), all App Store purchases, and so on.

In other words, iOS becomes nearly unusable.
I know this way of thinking is horrible, but let me play devil's advocate for a while:

What if the CCP puts Uyghurs into prison simply because the majority of Chinese citizens want Uyghurs in prison?

1. That would explain the behavior in the article.

2. That would explain why studies report that people in China feel like a democracy. Their government works in the way that benefits the majority of its people, so for some definitions of it, that would be a "democracy".

3. That would explain why some presumably Chinese citizens vandalize posters criticizing Jinping or the CCP. Try showing up with a "Trump is an idiot" poster at a MAGA rally ... and you'll see the same effect.

> Since when job should be fun?

I love your attitude, seriously. Many, many people would actually be happier in life if they knew their job doesn’t owe them everything.

My use of “not fun” was meant to be understatement, a gentle Way of saying that working conditions are highly unpleasant. And while I don’t feel everyone’s jobs have to be fun, I do think it’s my moral obligation not to darken anyone’s days if I can avoid it.

> By your logic you could complain about Chinese/Asians not giving tips or bringing their own drinks to restaurants.

And don’t worry, I find those practices to be just as unpleasant. My wife and I laugh about it routinely.

> Why should I be giving any tips to someone getting salary, do you give tips to policeman, clerk in supermarket or McD staff?

You may have chosen the wrong hacker news person for this discussion. It’s illegal to give tips to policeman, but I regularly give tips to both clerks in the supermarket and McDonald’s.

> Doesn't business earn enough money from the food I order that they need to rob me on drinks as well?

Preach, brother! The whole concept of tips is alien to me because if it’s inconsistency in the application. I am a generous tipper but I am completely baffled as to why I should tip some people versus others. But what I do know is that everyone loves to get tips. And if I can afford it, why not make the day a little bit better?

> Well, I might as well eat at home, if they like it more, if they have problem with me bringing my own drink.

Amazon on that book:

"Many of the experiments contained in the book are now considered highly dangerous for unsupervised children, and would not appear in a modern children's chemistry book.

Wow
Here is a 1997 interview with Jeff Bezos that I like where he talks about why he created Amazon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWRbTnE1PEM. He describes a purely logical explanation of seeing data about internet growth and identifying books as being a uniquely good product to sell on the internet.

Which is not to say he wasn't "willing to dedicate [himself] entirely to solving the problem", but I think it agrees with your take about finding market opportunities rather than following a passion.
West European developers have been on about that pay level for a long time but not that many of them ended up working for US companies, despite being comparably competent to US developers and arguably more culturally similar to US.
Yeah. It used to be Google RSUs, then it was all high-paying software jobs doing LeetCode interviews, now it’s cyber money.

People on here just fucking hate other people making money.

That’s not to say that Google is necessarily ethical, or LeetCode interviews are necessarily good, or that cyber money is necessarily going to work out. Maybe, maybe not on all above.

But that’s not why people scream on here about these things.
Wow the one with the most money has to pay the most taxes? A wonder. Why is this the first time tho?
I think this is very close to the truth. Most tech people, like the author of the article, look Bitcoin only from technological perspective. This completely misses the point, because Bitcoin is worse on many purely technical metrics compared to centralized currencies. The benefits are economical and societal, and they are not very easily understood. This misunderstanding leads to both "anti-crypto" and altcoins that are supposedly better than Bitcoin.

Samsung Z Flip 3 vs. Humans – The Great Folding Test
Different people fold and unfold the Samsung Z Flip 3 until it breaks 24/7
My situation is a little different but somewhat related. I'm working on a smaller product and I realized just how much time the whole thing may take (maybe 10 years from concept to acquisition). I spent 2 years so far, didn't launch it yet. I'm actually considering scratching what I'm doing now and starting a new, more ambitious product - something that would be more worthy of the sacrifice, life is short after all, why wait.

I do like working on what I'm working though and at best, maybe I could be done with it in 7 years from now - with a small acquisition that could make it easier to build the next product (or wrap it up as a failure in 4 years and still get tons of experience from that). In contrast, the more ambitious product would take 7 years just to launch it, however it's not that much of a difference on a bigger scale.

In the end, I think I'm sticking with the current product, for better or for worse. I already spent a lot of time on it, I have very limited resources and it's faster to ship, to get some success or fail earlier and use the experience (+ resources if any) to start working on a new product in 4 - 8 years, whatever it could be.

But it does get me, that things take time either way, things are hard either way, so maybe it's better to work on something with bigger potential. I have some more thinking to do.
When did that ever work?
Most CDNs would be able to filter such traffic, especially if it comes from a single VM. On the other side, most cloud providers are also quite serious about these things and will cut you off once they notice you're using a VM to DDoS other systems, so you won't be able to do that for very long.

> time where programming was an art and programmers read other programmers' code

Rose coloured past?

In my experience, a few decades ago you wouldn’t read much of others code, and you wouldn’t have a folio of previous work you could show a potential employer. Open source or source available hardly existed. You learnt from manuals or books (Code Complete), and you often started greenfield without libraries and did everything from scratch e.g. build using DBase IV, or writing embedded code on a microprocessor starting with nothing. Now you are continually reading code to fix problems in integrated third party libraries, discussing APIs, reviewing PRs, dealing with large team software, and generally having a lot to do with code written by other people.

Shitty programmers were a thing - that hasn’t changed. Amazing programmers hardly ever shared their code with others, because the infrastructure and culture to do so didn’t exist. Things are vastly better today: choice, skill, experience.
What happens when someone loses the key to their house NFT?
It wouldn't be better "in every way", though. A blockchain is much more resilient; the equivalent would be to have hundreds or thousands of redundant SQL databases around the world and somehow keep them all in sync. By the time you've done that, you've very likely reinvented a blockchain, at many times the cost of just using an already-existing public blockchain.

> monitoring and reversing payment transactions

I disagree with the article on this point. No reasonable person expects to be able to reverse a cash transaction; that the same applies to an electronic equivalent ain't the fatal flaw that critics seem to regularly insist without real basis. Transaction reversal is indeed outright harmful to honest vendors, and is only really necessary for the legacy systems because the legacy systems have borderline zero protection against dishonest vendors retaining customers' payment information and pulling money from it (and/or giving it to others who will do so, be it voluntarily through some shady dealmaking or involuntarily through card skimmers and database breaches and what have you).

> interacting with government agencies to execute real estate transaction

You wouldn't need a central authority for this. Local governments are fully capable of putting real estate NFTs or whatever on something like Ethereum or Cardano and publishing public keys such that people can verify their authenticity. They're much more likely to do that than to try to run an equivalently fault-tolerant and accessible-to-the-public SQL database themselves (and absolutely more likely to do even that than to trust some entity outside their legal jurisdiction to do that, barring outright state/federal mandates to do so).
On this website, it only says "please do it", but didn't mention too much on "how".

They're talking about retail support for the stock price, not Tesla's operational performance in the real world. People aren't buying Tesla cars because of Musks antics but they are (or were) buying Tesla shares on that basis.
Tesla's success in the market for cars is not driven by buyers' love for Elon (much), but I'm not sure that's the case for Tesla's vastly disproportionate success in the stock market.

> With your phone, if all you care about is texting and making calls, yeah, you're not getting any added value paying more.

If all you care about is texting, making calls, playing the occasional game[1], browsing the web, doing mobile banking, listening to music, watching videos, using social media, responding to work emails, viewing the occasional PDF, word processed document or spreadsheet sent over email, screencasting to a TV, using the device as a mobile hotspot, testing software you write for phones ... and a few more less frequent things (Like using employers paging app, employers internal systems) ... then you don't get any additional value spending more than $400 on a phone.

Don't ask me what you can do with a phone that costs more, because I haven't yet seen anyone do something on their phone that my <$400 phone cannot do.

> This is not the US here.

I live in Europe. The grid in Europe is not designed to transport 100% of electricity needs from one edge of the continenent to the other. Most energy produced in Europe is still renewable or nuclear, and it is produced relatively close to where it is consumed, for the most part.

> We have been "pumping" massively energy into storage in the alps.

The storage capacity of electricity in the alps is tiny compared to total electricity consumption.

> Now with NordLink we do the same in the other direction too.

Nordlink has is getting seriously unpopular in Norway, even if it is only 1400MW out of a total installed capacity in Norway of 37GW.

What is working in Europe is fossil fuel plants and nuclear plants, oil for transportation and, in most plases, fossil fuels for heating. Wind and solar is still a tiny percentage (around 10%) of total energy consumption in Europe. Maybe in 20 years it will be 25%.

At best.

> Cloudflare's not going to shut your web presence down because you're "competing" with them or just plain doing something they don't like.

While I agree with this distinction, I'm not entirely sure that this is wholly accurate.

The situations in which Cloudflare might have to intervene with legal content are probably pretty limited (e.g. content that would be legal, yet very controversial, or expose something about the company or something like that), but it's still possible.

As a thought experiment, consider a situation in which a person might be using a Russian CDN and would be hosting content about Ukrainian refugees (no intentions of getting political here, it's just a good example) - now I'm pretty sure that Russia might just make it illegal, but even without it being explicitly legal, a few strings could be pulled and the service to that site shut down. What about a Chinese CDN that expresses views that are different than the ruling government would approve of.

Maybe there should be an asterisk there - depending on the nature of your content, have both the services you use and the platform that you own be somewhere, where it won't cause problems.
I dunno, it's fairly easy to buy VMs with cryptocurrency now. And who's to say they aren't legitimate requests? Especially if it's HTTP, it may not look like a DDOS

The latter to be more precise. Perhaps Spotify is the least bad option, but the convenience of audio file formats is just that much larger and it is a minimal requirement for me.

Most cloud providers react very fast to abuse, they do not have an interest in ruining the reputation of their subnets as that will make life difficult for all of their customers.

I’m going to have a stab at actually answering the questions, rather than just taking the opposing point of view.

There is another way: organising regular off-sites for the employees to meet up, get to know each other, build relationships, share culture and attend workshops so that they can learn the common tools and techniques that are valid across an org.

I would argue this is a better way to onboard new staff too, if you can hire them to coincide with these off-sites.

Even if the off-site is 2/3 week-long all-expenses-paid trips pa, this will probably work out cheaper than hiring office space for a year

I have no love for communists (having been born in the Eastern Bloc), but that's not how free speech works. Either you're for it (and all the icky stuff that comes with it) or you're against it. There's no "splitting the difference" here. We've debated and litigated this since the Enlightenment (from J.S. Mill to Skokie, IL): if you start banning one type of speech, that's a train you won't be able to stop.

Ask HN: Know algorithms, or know how to implement them?
I'm playing around doing leetcode challenges for fun where I stumbled upon one which required quicksort. It struck me then that I've completely forgotten how to implement it (which I once did a couple of years ago at uni), I had to go to wikipedia and write it from pseudo code. All in all it took me about 30 min to solve.

This got me thinking; is this even an issue? Is there value in knowing algorithms like quicksort and Djikstra's by heart, as opposed to being confident that you're able to implement them given information on how to do it?
