In my experience, yes. I get paid a bit better than I would expect at Microsoft and a bit worse than if I went to Apple.
So being successful as a company requires having the right/ability to screw over your employees at the drop of a hat?
I’m curious if there could be some kind of DDoS where someone creates bots that spout this kind of random bad language at scale and overload cease and desist processes.

I agree it's clearly not effective as a sales tactic, as we have a range or responses here from meh to negative, but none is "positive".
The line you quoted is just a slight rephrasing of the headline with a little more detail. What are you finding misleading?

Google allowed [a Sanctioned Russion Ad Company = RuTarget, a Russian company that helps brands and agencies buy digital ads], to [Harvest = access and store] [User Data = data about people browsing websites and apps]
Frankly I think that's a naive take. I suspect in reality it'll come down to managers being told to cut some percentage of staff, and in many cases that'll come down to everybody feeling the pressure of swords hanging over their necks.

That is not a formula for the "worst performers" leaving or getting fired, it's more like a formula for chaos, nasty office politics, and people leaving just because they don't need that shit in their life.
How many of those openings are real, and how many are fig leaves to meet policy requirements before hiring internally or to get some benefit for "job creators"?

Of course there is a strategy, and not only from the CCP side. It's a power struggle to retain vs. subvert power between the Chinese state and the Western sphere of influence in East Asia. The battle lines have shifted from one outlying area of containment to another, from Korea (war, 1950-1953), Taiwan (war, 1950's), Vietnam (war, 1960's), Tibet (rebellion, 1959-1973), a detente after Nixon, back to color revolution in the late 80's (Tiananmen), Tibet again (rebellion, late 1980's), and Xinjiang (terrorism, 1990's to 2000's), Taiwan (1996), Tibet again (2008), Hong Kong (color revolution, 2003 to 2020), back to Xinjiang again (2018 to now), and in a major way, Taiwan (2016 to now).

It's funny people think these are all random occurrences or all the doing of the CCP. During the detente, even the Dalai Lama suddenly went to the "Middle Way" and shut up for 15 years.
Congress can amend the constitution.
I'm astonished that something like jarred garlic exists. I have seen powdered garlic, but jarred wasn't something I remember seeing in Poland. We always have source of 'normal' garlic.

You want your enemy to overestimate your capabilities if you don't intend to fight them. If you want them to start a defensive war, you want them to underestimate you so you have a greater chance of successful provocation where you get to counterattack and destroy their unprepared forces.

I don't doubt these folks are well intentioned. I think it's just human nature to have trouble seeing past the end of your own nose. The white people taking about "under represented minorities" probably isn't organically immersed in minority communities, but experience them mainly as subjects of their own political, academic, or charitable efforts. That naturally leads them to essentialize those minorities and lump them together.

Moreover, their limited exposure to minorities is often derivative of their interactions with other white people. E.g. someone who grows up in Wisconsin and has little exposure to Muslim immigrants other than as the subject of antagonism by Trump supporters, probably can't help but view those minorities except through the lens of their own opposition to other white people.
Assuming you're talking about iMessage, comparing that to E-mail (GMail) is literally apples and oranges.
c2v may have some assumptions that are not specified by FreeBSD C code. Probably easily fixable.

> If I walk up to Big Bad John, and call him a rude name, he will knock my teeth out.

Big Bad John is a strawman, because if Big Bad John was abusing his children or beating his wife, I wouldn't confront him either. I'd call the police. It doesn't reflect at all the legitimacy or illegitimacy of the criticism.

Also, we should probably get over that pretense that anonymity ends brutal criticism. Plenty of people are happy to sign pretty brutal criticism, or even to make a brand out of it.

The thing that it's easy to do is to attack "haters" or "cynics" because they don't really exist. They're what happens when people define other people's motivations by the effect on them personally. Somebody hates me? They're a "hater." Somebody says that something I think will work will definitely not work? They're a "cynic" that doesn't believe anything can improve and hate people who have retained the ability to dream.

The same people leaving comments on this game encouraging the designers to kill themselves will agree completely with this reasoning, because it has very little content.
That study is making the exact same error I already mentioned: They are counting the embodied energy of the flammable plastic as GWP, while not discounting the energy saved by burning the plastic instead of some other fuel.
That would be the levelname part. But if your log aggregator or subsystem is hindering your ability to use your logs, I would look to solve that problem before worrying about anything within your application.

Even storing logs in a format that you need to decode or download would be a red flag for me. Seconds of debugging all of a sudden turns into minutes or even hours.
camelCase is idiomatic in Smalltalk, which as a language and a community was a pretty big influence on other dynamic OO languages like Python and Ruby, and from whence SUnit comes, and thus the whole xUnit world, derives.

So, it's maybe not the best evidence that the Python version is particularly a clone of the Java port.
It seems unlikely to me that they'll turn up the pressure on the high performers. More likely they'll just raise the bar for what is considered adequate. The real pain will be having less people to do the work, but that happens with layoffs as well.
What sort of guarantee is there that this company will be around to pay this insurance our by the time I'm most likely to die? I'm 29, say I've got another 50 years left. Is there some insurance or assurance you can give in the event of the death of the company? A sort of meta-tontine?
China was already experimenting with capitalism since the late 70s- and China had a diaspora from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore to help them.
Russia had nothing.
Feature Stores vs. Data Warehouse
I’ve seen the pain low performers cause others around them as an IC and having the company try and fix that problem seems very reasonable. But who knows, for all we know this could just be rhetoric to inspire some initiative.

Assuming people that don’t support your strong gut reaction to this leak view themselves as “an owner of meta” is strange—my views here are very much colored by my experience as an IC at a similar company where I thought I’d be happier, as a worker, if we could do a better job at both managing low performers and firing leakers.

Ask HN: Coping with SaaS consumption tax compliance (sales/VAT/GST/etc.)
As I move towards a SaaS soft launch, I have been greatly frustrated by the apparent lack of standard advice and practices in the area of complying with consumption taxes (a.k.a. sales tax, VAT, GST, etc), which SaaS operations have become subject to in recent years. Even worse, many accountants simply won't touch the issue, especially if one is or is planning on offering services at a truly worldwide scope.

In talking with a number of successful SaaS founders, I've found that typical practice buckets out to three different options:

1. Mostly ignoring the problem outside of your immediate jurisdiction (i.e. where your corporation is domiciled), which is probably just fine if your operation is small and is likely to stay that way (thus [hopefully] not exceeding each jurisdiction's taxation thresholds).

2. Cobbling together a solution using something like Stripe Tax or Quaderno or Avalara to ensure that you're collecting tax properly, but then having to schlep stuff like per-jurisdiction tax registration and filing. Yes, taxjar exists, but is itself a cost, and only really covers the U.S.

3. Using a merchant of record (like fastspring or paddle) as your exclusive worldwide reseller, which then takes on all the work of collecting and filing and remitting consumption taxes (usually on a truly worldwide basis, i.e. covering 80+ countries). Of course, the fees associated with this are somewhat higher (but tbh, not that much higher than e.g. stripe + stripe tax + stripe billing + filing and remittance costs), and these platforms are outside of the stripe ecosystem and are their own things, so developer experience and third-party integrations are somewhat spottier.

#2 seems to be the most popular option by far, but often ignores a large portion of the world (e.g. stripe tax only covers ~35 countries), and can be very costly even ignoring registration and filing (i.e. Avalara is wildly expensive for what it does).

I'd love to hear from more founders about how they've navigated this, and why they've made the choices they've made. Thanks!
That sounds like a problem with Western Union, not a problem with e.g. USD.

I disagree with you as well. Clearly the blog creator is hoping for V's death, for whatever hidden intentions that they have.
Generally, pro life people arent going to find the violinists argument forceful:
1) the violinist is framed as being particularly valuable due to their talent, this is not a shared assumption between the two camps, and even if it was - every baby is a potential violinist.

2) the violinist is not offspring, and there is no parent-child relationship

3) extraordinary means were and are required to maintain the violinist, this is unlike a pregnancy - where extraordinary means are required to end it.
You can buy reusable toaster bags that make this possible.

All sorts of crumbly, melty things can go in a standard upright toaster.
This is all around a terrible and nonconstructive attitude.

> The post is unnecessarily hostile. Created by a new anonymous account, with the goal of attacking V and "not recommending to use it".

What about it was hostile? It was written in a very neutral tone and was almost exclusively fact based, with just a couple of summative comments about the author's overall impressions at the end.

How could you possibly know the motives of an anonymous author? Seems like the author was smart to remain anonymous too, given the amount of vitriol the V community has directed his/her way for writing the review.

> Also with referencing the notorious ridiculous "V is vaporware" articles, it's pretty clear what the goal of the author was.

Of course a review will mention a widely circulated previous review. As much as you might like to pretend that it never existed, this isn't the CCP where we can expunge things that we don't particularly like from the historical record.

> It'd take 10 minutes to submit github issues, instead they spent a month on this.

I see, reviews are only okay if they are positive. Otherwise they must be github issues. What a convenient way to make sure that no negative review is ever "by the rules" and to question the motivations of anyone who dare write one.
Another big confounder is that the WiiU won't play gamecube games, but it will play Wii games, so someone who wanted to play Wind Waker and has a WiiU needs to buy the WiiU version, but someone with a WiiU and wants to play Twilight Princess can buy the Wii version or the WiiU version.

Give Firefox a try! Revolutionary features such as: Extensions can actually change the browser chrome! TreeStyleTabs is a extension I can't live without, another one is "container tabs" to separate things a bit more. Ad blocking extensions also will continue working in Firefox, compared to Chrome which are slowly limiting their usefulness.

This makes all negative reporting propaganda by definition, which is clearly untrue.

I did not talk about Western Europe, sorry. I do not know much about that region. That said, we had military personnel here around Central-Eastern Europe during COVID-19, mostly assisting at the hospitals. That is all. It is their job. They do not want to be there either, but they had to. They are humans, too. They do not stand in your way at any point. Perhaps if you threaten to kill people or something, but they are not going to shoot you, at least that is definitely the least likely option in their mind, they do not want to do that.

There were not any conflict during that time either, for the record. Everyone was minding their own business. I do not fear military personnel either. I do think it was unnecessary, but perhaps they knew that we lacked the hospital workers who could assist with testing and so forth. They were not there to intimidate you and they never had the intention of harming you in any way. I know this because I have talked to many of them, and I have a family remember who worked for them, too. I do not fear the cops, either. I do fear the guards once you are in prison, but that is a different story. That said, I have seen inmates and cops having nice conversations with lots of laughter. They have to pass the time somehow, and humor is usually their tool to do that. They know the system is fucked anyways.

Maybe this is possible because our society is relatively stable. 40 murders per year in a large enough country is almost nothing, I would say. What gives this cohesion? Cultural differences? By the way, we are known to be hating each other and especially each other's success, yet... I would say that even thievery is uncommon around here, whatever the reason is. They usually do not get away with it anyway. There are at least 15 people who are currently on the run for thievery. That is a negligible amount. With the help of people, I believe they will find them, especially if the thieves are going to keep doing what they are doing.
Yeah, data brokers are awful and their business model is an abuse of the ideals of the internet imo.

I’ve been working on a tool to automate GDPR & CCPA deletion requests to data brokers - basically it’s a database of ~650 registered data brokers + email templates written in legalese. After the user provides some basic contact information, it does a simple mail merge.

According to wikipedia Machrihanish was "certified" as an emergency shuttle landing site. Local rumor is that it was used for SR-72/Aurora, black project flights. Lots of conspiracy theories, e.g. https://www.theregister.com/2000/07/10/top_secret_us_plane_c...
Its interesting you use "The Dark Night of the Soul" in reference to atheism cause the first place I heard it was with regard to meditative practice (and Buddhism) while its original use was in Catholicism, coming from a poem of that faith. The term has certainly got around!
There's one company (Joseph & Joseph) which makes a garlic 'rocker' and with a soft silicone spatula you get all the garlic back, from a device which is as easy to clean as any normal utensil.
It's not so much that they are investors or extremely wealthy. It's more that they are celebrities and the way the news media works. Few people would read an interview with some obscure expert, but they do tend to listen to who they already know or who they perceive as an authority. The fact that that authority says little beyond some commonplace everybody already knows about does not seem to matter, unfortunately.
Couldn't they have left a message?

Blocking unknown is strictly better than blocking everything.

Again: "you're holding it wrong".

Just because a plant based lifestyle is burdensome, doesn't mean people think it should be. And by that reasoning neither should any other diet. So I don't get why the projection of your experience onto the experience of others is so necessary
One UX issue that I've seen on most stage pianos is that while there are direct physical controls for most of the commonly used functionality due to lack of display and some menu system configuring “uncommon” things (like MIDI) leads to totally undiscoverable configuration modes, multi button chords and what not that you have to read the manual to find out.
> You have to put a lot more force into a blunt blade. When it finally gets through (or jumps from) what you're hacking at, it's going somewhere, fast.

Exactly right. I've wound up in the emergency room twice because of exactly this effect.

Blunt knives are for spreading, or maybe sawing. Using blunt knives for slicing is just plain stupid. And let me tell you, learning this the hard way hurts a lot more than somebody 'gatekeeping' you with a warning, no matter how rudely phrased.
I know you're joking but I've always hated how cold the office is. I would often get a mug of hot water just to warm my hands. I've seen female co-workers wearing those fingerless gloves or wearing their winter coat because of how cold they were.

This is why Fool Us is what it is. P&T put magicians on TV but they put themselves in the audience so the TV audience trusts that it isn't just video editing like so many TV magic shows.

100%! My company ineptly stumbled into a scenario like this, so to speak, and the result was as you described. After witnessing how that played out, I would expect a similar outcome in other scenarios.
For those of you missing context, mTCP is a TCP/IP library and some of the more common applications. It runs on anything from an old 41 year old IBM PC up to emulated virtual machines.

Applications include fresh implementations of a DHCP client, FTP client and server, HTTP server, IRC client, Telnet Client, SNTP client, Ping, and some other goodies. (These are not stale ports of old code.) Everything runs in 16 bit DOS and the library is open source.

The target is retro-computing hobbyists and people stuck with embedded solutions that use DOS. A good FTP client can be a godsend in that situation.
Isn't the difference that hypersonic missiles are supposed to be able to cruise at such speeds, not "just" fall along a ballistic (or, for the newer models, ballistic-ish) trajectory with a bit of steering at certain points, but powered flight all the way, with the maneuverability and potential stealth that entails?
Think about how many hours worked the average game takes to make.
