Re your HTML point, we've been hacking on a framework which lets you programmatically create and share data reports in Python which you might find helpful (https://github.com/datapane/datapane). It supports Plotly, Pandas, Altair, Folium, MPL, etc., and provides some neat layout components like pages, selects, columns, and dropdowns.

If you need anything or want some help, feel free to make an issue or ping me on leo [-at-] datapane.com
What FTX does is introduce financial products that could potentially put downward pressure on a lot of these scam coins. To be fair, he also introduces products that allow people to play around w/ crazy amount of leverage, but it could theoretically be done without as much counterparty risk and interconnections that caused the 2008 financial crisis.
But Scotland is already a country.
In times of war it becomes very difficult to find basic goods such as food items, or hygiene supplies. Some people will get out of their way to collect such goods and make them available to the general population. Clearly, those goods must be sold at a very high markup, to cover not only the expense of buying them but also the personal risk of the merchant to procure and sell them.

Clearly it's more beneficial for the community to have basic goods available, at a high price, than to not have any!

And yet, such enterprise that is clearly beneficial to the community is stigmatised as "black market".

Ask HN: How do you deal with Internet and information addiction?
I'm wasting my life away in search of the one piece of information-that-will-change-my-life. I'm aware that such a thing does not exist, I'm aware that I need to just experiment with my life and there are no failure-proof formulas but I find myself constantly battling against this pathetic FOMO.

I think we (humans) built a perfect Skinner Box with randomly distributed reinforcement: the Internet is mostly arid, but there you have it, the occasional oasis of useful information, and it keeps you going: "It's not all that bad, see" So much knowledge!". And it appears to be true, but then I look back at what I've learned and it's "not much", but I've looked at what I've lost and it's so much: stopped going to the gym, stopped playing my instruments, stopped going to the conservatory, and now I'm only formally enrolled in University but haven't studied in a while.

I've tried two years of therapy with 5 different therapists and, sincerely, I've no more money and time to waste in such unfruitful ways. I'm fairly certain that I'm depressed, but where the causation lies: it came first the depression or the Intenet addiction? All I can remember is that these kind of tribulation started onw or two years after I was "plugged".

I'm becoming my worst nightmare, an unsuccessful NEET with a shadow of his former self and intelligence, with no identity anymore. I wish I could just unplug it all: I love the times when we have a blackout or when I go visiting my father without internet connection: I read for more than 3 minutes, I relax and without watching youtube. Internet addiction and depression are feeding each other, both symptoms of my malaise and dissatisfaction with my life: the addictive activity promises to be the cure to the problem that itself has caused.

It's a tiny ass article from a small (? don't know this website) news platform / blog.
They bothered to do some research on that topic + find & interview someone who might provide some insights - or at least has proven knowledge about that topic.

How is that considered *low* effort? I understand criticism of authors where they literally copy paste some random tweet, but critizising this as *low* effort sounds a little unjustified to me.
> It doesn't have anything to do with distance to the objects

Sure it does. If the sun were closer to us than the moon it wouldn't be possible for the sun to appear lower in the sky yet appear to light the moon from above. Indeed the opposite would be true: it would appear to light the moon from below.

So the relative distances to the objects is exactly relevant to determining from which direction the moon appears to be lit.
HN is about as informed on crypto as some random off the street I've found.

Gains from trading are zero sum - whatever anyone takes out (when selling), someone must put in (by buying). More specifically, it is a negative sum game, since exchanges and miners want their cut.

So, the assertion that crypto as a whole is zero sum hinges on the assumption that for the vast majority of people, the utility of crypto comes from capital gains (buying and selling for a higher price), rather than, say, the utility of buying drugs or paying off ransomware.
> Surly they should have very very few employs that have access to that type of information?

It depends on the nature of the information. If we're talking anything that directly affects liquidity, I'd be surprised if that number was large. But if we're talking regulated or contractually protected consumer information (e.g PCI), that number's probably a bit bigger.

It’s totally normal here and done to protect the company. It’s one of the reasons Americans are paid considerably more than Euros. Companies can take on more risk and pay more because they aren’t burdened with strict employee relationship laws.

What Coinbase is giving in severance is quite generous. They don’t have to do that but it’s really nice and I’d say it improves their reputation. These types of things (layoffs) happen and they’re taking care of their ex-employees.

Hedges started shorting the S&P 500 in 2021. Surely if you are a high level executive, your data shouldn't come from CNBC.
No that's not it at all. It's amazing how people in this thread act like this is a new frontier in health care or something, thinking that genetics and exposure to light are the causes.

It has been determined very conclusively that myopia is caused by spending too much time looking at close objects. That was in my highschool textbook like 20 years ago.

I think 'far left' implies terrorism or other armed insurrection or revolution? The things you're talking about are acting peacefully within the existing establishment. That's not 'far left'.
In finance it's pretty common practice (and in that sense Coinbase is similar to a broker). I remember stories about how half (?) the people working at UBS London came to work one morning to find that their badges didn't unlock the entrance gates anymore. And lots of stories like that in the years following the 2008 crash.
The problem is not crypto. The problem is (the lack of) diversification of his investments. Putting your life-savings in a single stock is equally bad. Putting your life-savings in tech stocks is almost as bad. Diversifying it over multiple industries, exposure to different markets, and other assets than just stock - now we are talking.

It is not the same kind potential lottery win as stock picking the winner, but you also will not bit hit as hard.

This is the lesson that must be learned, not only with investing in crypto, but investing in anything.
> The main value proposition is to sell to the next person for more than you paid.

I agree. But I genuinely believe "bagholders" will be better off compared to saving in their own national currency - provided they manage their risk correctly.

This is because national currencies keep inflating, so even a decreasing demand might maintain the same price, given the supply inflation difference.

Since the pandemic, BTC has acted like the S&P500 with 4x leverage, but no margin calls (loss limited to what you invested).
Aside from the factual problems here, which others have pointed out, I can't help thinking that the unfocused, angry, self-righteous tone of this post is related to the problems described in the article. It's as if people and organizations have bent over backward to appease the loudest, most furious, least reasonable zealots. I mean, OP has been made fucking sick! How can we not listen?

To be explicit about this: I think many people have discovered how to progress through life by being as angry as possible. I very much doubt this anger is real, and when it is, it more often reflects the writer's personality than the flaws of the world around them. This is bad, and has seriously harmed society and culture in the past 10 years. We should develop social norms that very clearly and pointedly discourage it.
Well, I think the parent is comparing software engineering to other white collar professions like lawyer.

In my opinion comparing SWE to blue collar work like construction is apples to oranges. Ofc the blue collar work is harder and more demanding physically.

It’s better to think about whether software engineers are being compensated fairly relative to other professions like lawyers.

I think they are given that wages seem to be governed with supply and demand. On one hand I don’t make as much as my sister, who is a doctor. On the other hand, I make enough/comfortable money and don’t have to deal with the liability/responsibilities/obligations of being a doctor or lawyer, and I can work from bed naked should I choose to do so.
That's more likely to be because ETH is going POS, nothing to do with Bitcoin.

It hasn't failed as any of those things until the price doesn't swing back up to a new high like it has each and every time someone has said what you said.
> I really don't understand billionaire hate.

Same here, I really could not care less if some guy has 10 sports cars in a basement somewhere, so what? It seems so incredibly childish and petty to walk around and be angry about that.

And when having a few billionaires comes with the benefit of more jobs, higher salaries and better economy for me and everyone else, then it seems great to me.

How can people prefer an equal society where everyone's poor just to be relieved from their childish jealousy? It's not going ever be fixed anyway, because nature and life is always unfair.
Let me sum up your entire argument.

Most of the world lives in severe poverty, therefor software developers should accept any amount that the owner class feel like paying them and be thankful.
It has crashed many times but don’t forget; the last real recession was 2008; that’s 14 years ago; we have not had a financial crash since so we don’t know (well we do but the pundits say we don’t) how it will hold up. I think if ‘22 turns into a recession like I think it will, crypto might collapse; if not collapse, then at least fall further than believers would ever think. I would say btc will be a few k or less if a recession happens.
You are completely right. Sensitive customer information should be only accessible as a per need basis. It's very bad practice, possibly illegal in many countries, to have free access to production customer data. It's also quite dangerous for a big company. Production databases should not be accessible by developers, logs should need enough to debug problems, and should be scrapped after some time. Metrics can be stored as long as needed, as should not contain personal data but just counters, averages, etc.
Only in the US? What about Australia or Canada? What about China or Russia? You have no idea how hard it can be to fire a state or federal employee here in the US. I’m guessing there are regions or industries in Europe where it is easy to fire employees. The situation is so much more complex than US bad Europe good. Poorly constructed swipes like this are becoming more and more common and it’s disappointing.
As some who works partially with marketing... this is exactly how it works. We build what reflects our incentives.
In Europe I think it's far less common to be fired in the first place, I actually know zero people that was ever fired (but I'm not saying that it doesn't happen, I think it even happened recently at Klarna).
This is true in the US as well. While in some cases you can lay someone off, and immediately stop paying, most of the time there is a period where the former employee will be paid and not have to come to work (or really, allowed to).
As a teenager I worked an evening job at one of the largest banks in the world, processing mail-in credit card orders. I would sit at a computer, run an app that could query any bank account number, and I'd get their current balance (along with all other personal info). It was part of a series of checks I had to do to make sure they qualified for the credit card.

One kid definitely got fired for querying data on persons they weren't supposed to query for.

With work-from-home, I can imagine there's employees with all sorts of access. And with them being a startup, who knows how much controls they've got in place yet.
What would it take to convince you that this policy is not illegal? (For clarity, I agree with you that it is an awful policy.)

I want an exchange to be neutral. I don't want them to pick and choose the products I'm allowed to trade. Outright fraud should be avoided, but if someone wants to buy a shitcoin, they should be allowed to do so.

Two straight quarters of declining GDP. Merely raising interest rates to a sane figure (still below 3%!) isn't recession-causing in any sane economy.
I understand where you're coming from, but I don't see how that's the employer's problem. This risk is ALWAYS there when taking on a new job. Fire fast doesn't really mean one week either, but it can be evident in the first 2-3 months if someone is a bad fit.

I think you might be on to something. Maybe I'm an odd duck, but I can't possibly divide my romantic attention between multiple individuals without negatively affecting the quality of the relationship/s. I suspect anyone who claims to be able to doesn't experience love the same way.
Somewhat related: I've been enjoying the series "For All Mankind" on Apple TV+. Really fun alt-history drama that explores these topics.
Employers typically get around this by giving the laid off employees 60 or 90 days worth of severance pay+benefits.

- What is your project? is it from data science space?

- Selling OSS might be a great idea. Didn't consider it. I thought the Personal Pro version ($199/y) will be good for persons that would like to support the project or just need a support/guidance.

- Yes, I do consulting services. I don't treat support hours in similar way as consulting. The support is for product that I love working on and I love supporting people using it.

- Django - I'm pretty good at Django. What is more, I wanted to use Celery for processing background tasks and scheduling. This gives an architecture that can handle large loads. The frontend is in React with TypeScript.

- Speed can be improved. There are many ways to better handle that (it is version 1.0). You can add Plotly charts to make presentation more interactive. The advantage of Mercury is that you can recompute all slides if needed.
It’s incredibly common to walk employees out in a layoffs in North America, like 90% of the time. You might get a chance to pack your belongings, but sometimes they’ll pack them for you and mail them, or you can book an appointment to do this. given the pandemic, this is less of an issue.

Not saying it’s great, but this policy is the result of historical sabotage other problems of prolonged layoffs.

>> So it show that we are not completely rational and selfish here.

Sure we are. "Give me half the money, or you get none". That's a perfectly rational plan to force the other party to maximise your reward.

The risk is that the second player gets nothing, sure, but that's the ideal of profitable financial strategies, no? You take risks, you maximise your gains.

Me? I'd ask for 99.9999% and watch the first player squirm and sweat. Come on chap, show me how you rationally maximise your gains!
when choosing to go the crime route if the risk of getting caught is worth the gains seems like the biggest factor not if the work is cool.

It depends on the company/position more than the country. People with high access levels / dealing with lots of money will be treated differently than receptionists for example.

Hello, its Maximilian from fme - the author of the linked article. I had vacation when this article blew up and now i am pretty overwhelmed of the discussion that started here!

We are very happy that this discussion took place and that it sparked a nice and lively discussion about containers, Docker, Podman and all the other stuff between you and all the other professionals. We are also very grateful for all your criticism and corrections. The article is currently under review and we want to make sure to correct the previous mistakes in a transparent way. Seems like a few valid points were missed and some wrong assumptions were made. Nonetheless, I think the discussion that came out of this helped a lot of people get some useful insights into Docker, Podman, and containerization as a whole.

We are trying to get all wrong information - based on your discussion - right and summarize them in the refactored article!

What can we take away from this? - More research next time is necessary and we need to challenge our article.

Again, thanks a lot for all your feedback! We appreciate it very much! There were a few new things that also I was able to learn in this process which is always nice.
It's as old as time. Or at least as old as the first few times mass layoffs and networked employee devices co-existed.

> I can't say that many, including myself, would agree that education plans are on the same level as independence.

Perhaps not (your choice), but education plans definitely influence _at least_ a generation -- and they are changed almost on every change of legislative color without either a public vote or otherwise much fanfare.

This stuff eventually has a much more profound impact than independence (for starters, education plans can and do influence which % of the population is in favor of such independence; but they can also influence how much the culture diverges between the two "countries", e.g. by promoting regional languages). And this is just an example. Additional devolutions also have an impact that is at least on the same level, and again usually passes without much fanfare either.

> But maybe I'm wrong. How often are independence referenda held in Europe?

Exactly. I was discussing Joscha Bach's theories with a younger psychology student at a family event a couple of weeks ago. Turns out Bach's ideas from AI research are of his corriculum in his psychology training.
