If bawolff knew the domain name, why did he not give that as the answer to the hypothetical. Strange.

Looking up the certificate for about.censys.io on crt.sh is not the same as looking up the certificate for 185.199.108.153.

Try it. https://crt.sh/?q=185.199.108.153

If starting with only an IP address, 185.199.108.153, what does the certificate reveal.

echo|openssl s_client -connect 185.199.108.153:443 -showcerts|openssl x509 -text

Does it indicate the domain name the user intended to visit, about.censys.io, as would SNI.

SNI reveals more than "Its a github page" or a list of sites that are "related", i.e., hosted on the same IP address.^1

SNI provides the network observer with the exact domain name that a user intended to visit. Aside from faking SNI, domain fronting, or similar tactics, the results are reliable.

IP addresses do not indicate the exact domain name that a user intended to visit. Methods used to try to guess the domain name are unreliable.

A list of remote IP addresses observed on the wire is not the same as a list of domain names observed on the wire as servernames (SNI).

The former requires more work than the later and produces ambiguous, unreliable results.

1. A network observer could look for Subject Alternative Names in certificates passing over the wire in cleartext and try to guess which domain name the user intended to visit. However this will not work for TLS1.3 because the certificates will be encrypted.
I’ve been coding for 30 years . Professionally for 25. As I grow older I work faster and longer. I now have many contractors in Germany and sweeden and they prefer working for me over locals because of the flexability i provide. I wouldn’t stereotype Americans or people in Europe. I still code everyday. I haven’t needed to work for money for 15 years. For me my family and work give me meaning. I find both to be recharging and am depressed by drinking and tv watching. Drinking and tv watching seems what most people do most of the time as opposed to family and building time
I'll ask you the reverse. What proof is there we absolutely need all this to function? If people are so sure of this, surely they can substantiate it with more than just rationality. If the similarities are fine, just pull that information from the other disciplines you insist know better than the "special snowflakes".

>Why does engineer or constructor worker understand that you need planning to align thousands of people over many years to build a great big thing

You're conflating "needing to align thousands of people" with "needing a fancy system which pulls everyone in its web to deal with multiple times a day". If anything, construction shows just how little ICs need to know to function. You don't boggle your construction workers with bureaucracy, you take it away and let architects, managers and foremen deal with it.

> Why? If taxes are going to have side effects anyway, I think we should try to make those effects positive instead of negative.

Simply put: it’s a moral hazard. When the goal of the tax is in service to something other than the cost of government, then the tax rate can be arbitrary, and manipulated to the benefit of those in political favor. That sort of arbitrariness is intolerable in a free and just society as we should aspire to be.

>> Regardless of reason, taxation is a taking of assets from its owners, and this is a moral compromise we tolerate in service of having a government at all.

> I don't think I agree with that.

> For example, I also think we should have a (revenue neutral) carbon tax. Part of the tax's purpose would indeed be to fund the government, but the other purpose would be to make people pay for the actual social cost of emitting carbon into the atmosphere, as opposed to passing them on to the broader public. This allows the free market to work properly.

You are free to disagree, but what is the purpose of the disagreement here? It is possible to both recognize taxes as both a taking of assets (often cash, but historically could be anything) and a necessity. You can view this on your own paycheck: every single dollar that goes to your government is a dollar that you personally earned and was taken from you (“withheld”) by your employer and paid to your government.

You have some influence over how those dollars are then expensed by your government, by only to the extent allowed by the law through a power-sharing agreement (“the Constitution”, both Federal and your State’s). The larger the government, the less influence you have, and the more likely a higher percentage of the earnings which were taken from you will go to benefit folks you would rather it didn’t (“wasted”).

But you raise a good point about the side effects: we are going to have taxes anyway, and the side effects are going to matter in the discussion. Where they matter though is not in the purpose of the tax—that is and should remain to cover the cost of government—it matters in which taxes are implemented to cover the cost of government. As long as that remains the basis, there is much room for improvement in the way we levy taxes.

It can mean anything from "Engineering teams are responsible for everything, including development and operations" to "We have a third DevOps silo inbetween our developer and operarions silos".
My personal policy on these assignments used to be that you get 4 hours free, and you agree to be billed for the rest at my consulting rate. Now I am down to 2 hours. Most of my network has a 1.5 hour test as a formality, and it's not that much longer than a phone interview.

Oh yeah I think these games, running from security guards/police and other crazy as hell experiences in my youth broke my amygdala or something. I regularly get into the most messed up, near-death situations and laugh them off cause at least it's not like I have pyramid head coming after me.

For some reason I've noticed that in Nicaragua families really like watching horror flicks together, it's like part of the culture there for some reason. I was watching the silent hill movie with one and they actually didn't know it was originally a video game.

Pyramid head sounds like a fun halloween costume for next year, a friend of mine went as a nurse from that last time. Can do it with some cardboard boxes I think.
I don't get the hate on take homes. Also what's with the downvotes? At least you could help me see your point of view by explaining.

If anything they are much more time efficient than the alternative - grinding dozens of hours of leetcode in preparation of live coding challenges. In my experience that is pretty much the sole alternative.

There usually is a generous time frame for take homes of at least a couple of weeks. This is so much better and more flexible than coding challenges - not to mention coding rounds usually take several hours for the multiple rounds. Basically there's no time disadvantage at all for take homes.

Also speaking as a recent dad, so I get the time constraints.

Probabilities and amounts are not comparable even though they both use % notation.

In this case they are measuring the % of particles captured (an amount), not the likelihood a particle is captured (a probability). The parent is right, it’s a tiny difference.
We've automated this in our propriety system. After an amount of time with no activity, change requests expire and someone can resubmit if they're still valid, otherwise they close after a number of days. They also get a notification in advance in case they want to investigate validity before expiration. Has worked well for us since our software is decades old and the number of change requests are substantial.

After spending some time with Trac, Redmine and IBM ClearCase, I have to say that Jira and MS AzureDevOps are not THAT tragic. However it's a tool targeted at managers, not us, developers. At my previous company one of the KPIs was a number of closed Jira issues. Total BS, needless to say.
This happened to me multiple times on Facebook when trying to open new accounts to view some walled garden content, each time I used a different mail address on a domain I control in an incognito browser session. The accounts would just get blocked after a day.

On the last attempt I thought that I should feed the ML model with more data so I liked some pages and posted some random stuff to the profile. The account still works without any further activity besides using it to view content once very couple of moons.

I came to the conclusion that creating an account and not immediately using it is a ban. Just another reason to not use these platforms, they don't even want our business.
> I've had a dentist comment on how he wished he had so few issues.

Ok, but your anecdote doesn’t really say much. I’ve had a dentist tell me that too, and I intake plenty of sugar, grains, and alcohol. Haven’t had a cavity or other major dental issue in 38 years. I brush twice a day and floss once, and only sporadically see a dentist.
The point is that this whole conversation is irrelevant and terms like "moral attribution" are non-sensical if there's no free will. Sam Harris does this same thing. He'll spend 45 minutes in a podcast explaining why it's unlikely that you have free will and then say, "but it's still important for you to act morally."

Huh?

That makes no sense. If I literally can't do anything except that I'm doing, then in no sense is it coherent to advise me to "act ethically." You're just saying what the causal chain made you say and I'm responding to it however the causal chain demands I respond. That is, you're saying it because you can't not say it and I'm responding like this because I also can't do otherwise. But intellectually the game is up.

You can't tell the plinko ball to "act ethically" on its way down. It's just gonna go whichever way the physics play out based on the state of the world when you let go of the ball.
Yes, I remember reading about this site on Hacker news post. There are a lot of search results here for gitcoin. Also, Product dropdown at the top shows what it does. Payment in crypto coins seems to be free from a lot of regulatory burden, I'm not saying that it's a good thing, but it's just there. Getting a crypto wallet is also a lot simpler than creating a bank account, I'm again in favor of KYC norms, but there's an appeal to it, if you're too young or because of some other reason you cannot get a bank account.
So lets say that none of these web3 coins are scams. They still aren't actually solving anything that hasn't already been solved with web2. So at best they are unnecessary. And while the examples you have listed may not be scams, unfortunately the general web3 landscape is rife with them.
It's not though; it's a gimmick. The scenarios aren't there. In fact, I think the scenarios won't be there for a general purpose AR/VR device even if they make them as thin as glasses. Sure, navigation on a bike is nice, and maybe hololens-like scenarios for manufacturing or high-end industrial support, but that's it.

I have an Oculus 2, and before that I've had a couple of Windows VR headsets when Microsoft was doing their push; they're all gathering dust in a box now...
Ugh, yeah… it’s so frustrating that as a consumer you can’t tell for certain whether your teeth need to be drilled or not. I’d so much rather pay some bullshit dentist-needs-an-audi fee, rather than pay to needlessly destroy the structural integrity of my teeth so they can make a buck.
+1 to all this. Plus, Jira *scales* - all the cutesy drag-and-drop tools are good for 100 tickets/issues/etc and then fall over.

How is there a 10x change? I see a 0.1% change.
I am not claiming otherwise, having been a Shapely user since…2012? I’m talking about the work done by Sean et al while they were at Mapbox.
0.90005 times 10 is 9.0005, not 0.9005 (I.e. the two fractions presented are 90.005% and 90.05%). Even if you look at the complement you get 9.995% vs 9.95% which is small. One could imagine that these differences could also arise from eg obstructions to airflow or positioning in the room or the direction of the wind outside. The point is that the difference is dominated by air flow in a typical environment rather than filtering differences.
Because as far as I know traditionally unions have existed in jobs where humans are basically robots (manufacturing, etc...). These jobs can be dangerous and also each worker is very easily replaceable giving the employer a huge upper hand.

This is not the case in software at all. Skill levels can vary dramatically and the more experience you have with your company often the more valuable and harder to replace you become. Software developers are expensive, especially bad hires. This puts them in an advantageous position. In sum we are - In demand, scarce, hard (or at least expensive) to replace (skill & domain knowledge vary considerably). The exact opposite of what a union fixes.

>But there is zero money to be made out of people who have zero money.

That's not true. That's why credit exists. Selling poor people shit they can't afford with terrible terms is a long-standing American tradition.

When a debtor is unable to pay (often times through no fault of their own), the creditor eats the cost because their margins are good enough to allow for it. That effectively represents a wealth transfer between corporations providing the services and the corporations providing the credit.

Re: Skiff, it looks like a very cool product but I'm skeptical they can make enough money. The primary path to monetization for a product like this would be enterprise SaaS licensing but I simply don't see how you can sell to enterprises without centralizing the product. Auditability, compliance, SSO, etc. would all seem to be difficult if not impossible with the product as specced.
I find it disappointing that solutions to the housing problem are so stuck in 20th century thinking. It has this "one more lane of highway" vibe.

Extra supply in already dense/popular areas is fighting symptoms, an uphill battle that will always lag behind actual relief. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try that, I'm just saying to include a wider framework of ideas.

For example, can we rethink how and where we work and how we commute to it? I know this is easier said than done, but I find it bizarre that the number one reason for urbanization, work, is just not included into the thinking. At all.

Further, plan for the boomer exit rather than calling them names. In my country, the Netherlands, many boomers would love to scale down in housing. But those units don't exist. Up to the 90s, we'd have communal living for the elderly where they have small private housing with shared facilities and care, but now most of this is gone.

So they have nowhere to go. You can call them names, tax them (whilst most have no liquid income), none of this is a solution. I'm not saying to pity them, I'm saying a rational and intelligent plan needs to include them whether you like it or not.
Facebook/Meta has how many thousands of general engineers, AI specialists, and massive amounts of hardware at their disposal, and they can't solve this in a more practical way?

I used to subscribe to Consumer Reports back in the day, and basically regretted it. They rarely described their testing methodologies and more often than now, when they did, I wasn't impressed. Their testing usually just boiled down to whether or not the specs met the manufacturers claims, not anything useful like how well it was built and how long it is likely to last.
> “crowd sourcing employment lawyers”

How is that not drastic?

You’re own words are saying unionizing is to bring in lawyers to be used against your employer.

EDIT: to answer your question below since I can’t reply.

No, it’s not drastic for a company to have lawyers. A company needs to ensure they are staying regulatory compliant, not breaking laws and de-risking company … that’s what the lawyers are doing.
I'd argue it's still better than not having companies open source their software at all.
I’ve seen such models for 200$ apples and oranges
IANAL, but my understanding is that it is illegal to treat unionizing differently than other social activities. If a company wants to ban unionizing on company time, they have to ban all non-work related socializing. If people are allowed to talk about movies & video games, they are also allowed to talk about unions.
That's a strawman. The difference in the taxes paid by a middle class homeowner under standard property tax schemes and LVT is much less than the difference in taxes paid by the parking lot owner. In practice LVT is usually set up so that a typical single family home owner pays about the same amount under either scheme. The person who will pay a significantly higher rate under LVT is the parking lot owner, who has a much less emotional argument for retaining their property, and at the expense of that one rentier the entire community benefits from encouraging more productive use of that land.

You shouldn't be disallowed from joking about anything. Clamping authority down onto jokes kills them before they've had a chance to fail.

The safety net of a failed joke is that it doesn't mean very much. Putting authoritative rules in place to prevent a failed joke makes it so much worse when a joke doesn't land, or accidently offends, because now it "shouldn't have been allowed in the first place" and the public senses a disruption in their own control over the world.

Just let jokes go people, they don't matter and that's the gorgeous, beautiful truth we can share together. The network effects of treating jokes like they have authority and governmental consequence is deeply unpleasant for everyone, except a few political groups which benefit.
It sounds like OP wants to be a part of the kind of social change that fundamentally cannot exist independently of politics but trying to enact it without.

A single company, especially one that is not generating monopoly/oligopoly profits and is still dependent on funding, is not really able to: unionizing creates a steep competitive downside on the capital market that is not offset by enough employee retention benefit to be worth it, and that alone creates existential risk for the whole company. Long term, it simply helps another competitor to come up without a union.

Systemic problems need systemic solutions. It saddens me a bit that people want social change so much but dislike politics so much more that they take up the wrong fight, and then retreat to something like making videogames, which frankly as an industry has an even worse track record than tech in terms of respect for its workers.

I hope OP changes their perspective and fights a wider fight, either on behalf of a party or of a larger union.
