Except that in the US, cryptocurrencies are treated as goods, and using them to buy something is considered a barter transaction.

For a barter transaction, you must recognize the current fair market value of the object received, and compare it with your cost basis of the object given. If the current price exceeds the cost basis you are required to recognize it as capital gains. (If below, you are generally allowed to recognize it as a capital loss, but recognizing capital losses is not strictly required, although in some cases there may be reporting requirements even if you chose not to recognize the loss).

Given the volatility of most crypto assets, there is a very good chance that the crypto is worth more than when you bought it, and assuming the goods are fairly priced, it would be typically be required to recognize the fair market value of the goods as current value of the crypto used to buy the goods.

Thus there is a meaningful burden imposed on people buying goods or services with cryptocurrencies.

Slightly different rules but with similar net effect would occur with respect to an individual us taxpayer buying things with say Euros, except that if the increase in value of the euro used in the transaction was less than $200, it does not need to be reported or taxed. Also for personal transactions the gains on a foreign currency are always treated as ordinary income, not capital gains, so no discount for long term capital gains will apply.
That's not how Ventrilo, TeamSpeak and Discord implement it.

That's poor-man implementation of this.

Push2Talk is literally "you talk when pressing button" and combined with e.g MOUSE buttons,

you have 100% control over when talking and you don't have to have focus on the communicator(!)
but ultimately, the "executives" making the decisions of what software to develop, which bugs to hunt, and so on, are all basing their decisions on data, reports, and many sorts of 'metrics'.

Additionally, I suppose in a company as big as Google, all this decision making is backed by written communications.

All this written stuff is subject to legal scrutiny. All must abide by 'approved' rules, guidelines, etc..

Squinting a little bit (maybe some may need to squint harder) it's clear that in the end everything is being done according to a computational (written) process.

this is essentially what 'skynet' (from the terminator) or the matrix actually means. if every human involved is following data and written guidelines, the decisions are being made by a computer program running across many hundreds of humans pushing "paper" around.

Ask HN: Has any one successfully pivoted away from tech?
Looking for advice from those who've successfully left tech. I've been in for 3 1/2 years (since graduating). In large part my career has felt like it has been failing upwards. Recently, I quit my job and have gotten to a point where I'm starting to think I'm not cut out for this. A few comments on this:

1. I'm not really progressing far into interviews, especially in the technical portions.

2. Some simple tech questions are now throwing me through a loop.

3. With the negative feedback I've gotten my motivation has basically reduced to 0.

4. I've traditionally struggled with logic tasks and have had to take more time than my peers to solve them.

5. I've had a hard time connecting and relating to co-workers and team members.

My resume reads nicely: https://github.com/arrjayh/arrjayh-resume/blob/master/hickok_resume.pdf and I fortunately get lots of interviews but they pretty quickly fizzle out after 1 or 2 technical assessments.

I'm considering/looking into the trades. I'm hoping there might be a trade where I could leverage some existing skills, but I find that unlikely. Would love to get some feedback from any one out there that has pivoted or at least considered it.
I feel like this article lays the groundwork for a high quality artisanal eyeglass cleaning video.

Reminds me just a touch of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBb9O-aW4zI
I created a DD account but never placed an order. Quite some time later, they emailed to try to convince me to place my first order — with a $35-off coupon (min $30 order).

I ordered $41 of food and was stuck with a $22 bill (including a $5 tip I added). Delivery was "free" for this order.

This taught me a valuable lesson: if DD sends you a coupon for less than $20, it is worth zero. If it's between $20 and $35, it is worth about 10 bucks (especially when you consider how they inflate prices for dishes).

Welcome to the byzantine world of ACH transfers in the US.

Short of it is that, no, they do not need your specific authorization to initiate a withdrawal. Here's how ACH works:

1. One banking institution is the ODFI - originating depository financial institution, that makes the request. The other is the RDFI - receiving depository financial institution. In order to make a withdrawal, the ODFI sends the RDFI an ACH request that says "For this routing number (which determines the RDFI), for this account number and account holder name, debit $XXX amount and send it to me, the ODFI." No other authorization is necessary from the account holder.

2. The RDFI will send the ODFI (basically, the ACH process is more complicated) the money, BUT the RDFI has 90 days I believe (maybe longer) to pull the money back (search for "R10 ACH response code). If they do, the ODFI is left "holding the bag" and must return the funds. Thus, it's up to the ODFI to ensure that the user who initiated the withdrawal in the first place is authorized to do so.

Thus, a common ACH scam is:

1. Bad guy opens account at some financial institution with a stolen identity.

2. Many fintechs and online banks use Plaid to link to an account at an external institution to transfer funds. If the bad guy somehow has stolen credentials, then they link Plaid to that external account.

3. Bad guy initiates the ACH. Most ODFIs will then hold the funds for 2-5 days (depends on how long the account has been open, there are banking rules about how long they can hold it) specifically because of this return possibility.

4. Bad guy then tries to withdraw the money as soon as they can. If the original account holder doesn't notice the money missing from their account for, say, 2 weeks, the bad buy will have gotten the money and the ODFI is the one that has to make good on the stolen funds.

Google "ACH Fraud". It's a common problem with startups that don't realize all the intricacies and problems of the NACHA rules.

> $900+ a month in car insurance, car payments, gas, maintenance, etc.

There's a huge gap between 'no car' and $900/mo in car expenses. Buy a used car, not too old, and do basic maintenance (oil/filter, brakes, etc) yourself where you can. It's trivial to own and operate a car for well under $200-$300/mo - millions of people do it.

I would add e) - if the whole western economy depends on a single country as a supplier, and this country wants to become the world leader, then it is in the interest of the said country to make as much economic problems for west as possible, but not so much that the countries would again develop local supply or import from elsewhere. Excuses a), b), c) and d) are very handy for this and allow the said country to walk the fine line. It helps if the country is tightly run. Genius and scary to watch.

Let the market decide. Nobody is going to hire someone with shit grades from a lowly ranked school. But instead of having 300k in debt, those unemployable Bachelor of Law grads will be no worse off than if they had a BA in an unmarketable field like sociology or poli-sci.

Right now, they have to go get the the BA in anything (most do stuff like poli-sci) AND then they have to go spend 3 years and 300k dollars on a professional degree.

> if the cops come by and ask for footage, I generally provide it

Yeah, I see nothing wrong with this: The law has to ask you, the owner of the camera, for the footage. No legal process can circumvent your knowledge of the footage request, and you can review the footage prior to handing it over. This is all possible because you made good non-cloud infrastructure decisions.

This is basically how it should work, but the fact that Amazon is a third party means the government can legally compel them separately from you being aware. There's no fix for this: Cloud storage is a critical failure of the design of the Ring system.
>massive investment in all-inclusive officeplexes.

This is only true for the biggest offices of the largest companies.

The massive majority of firms are just renting something they could easily stop renting.

They just won't because the decision makers are too used to working on the office and scared of the change. It's really that simple, a simple habit bias of the decision makers.

Question is, how much will they be able to change back before a new generation comes in with less of a dogmatic view.

He's a master of aesthetics which I would argue is orthogonal to design.
Yeah, that's the kind of basic QoL stuff that's really the nuts and bolts of a product, but tend to get glossed over in planning.

When working out their OKRs teams generally do not have an entire Objective for "iterate, prevent regressions, and improve upon existing core features". They instead have a litany of Objectives to add completely new things.

Performance regressions are just the tip of that iceberg (though it is most noticeable), but a component of this upkeep is keeping up with the competition on your core already-shipped stuff. IMO Apple Maps' zoom behavior, rendering behavior, overlay behavior, etc, are far superior to Google's. It wouldn't be rocket science to implement their version of these changes, but clearly it's not being prioritized.

Always-on displays have basically obsoleted the notification LED.

I used to consider it a required feature when buying a phone as well and would carefully configure the colours of each app and their priority.

But these days I am happy with the default Android always-on display and a row of icons for the notifications. I can imagine that some people miss the colour but the detail offered by the icons makes it much easier to know what notifications you have.

>They do not and cannot realistically do this

I guess we disagree on the fundamentals. I believe kids can be taught how to interact with technology responsibly. In fact, my whole goal as a parent is to teach my kid how to responsibly navigate through life (which has increasing amounts of technology that they must eventually learn how to interact with).

Sometimes they need a bit more hand-holding (e.g. parental controls on a phone so it isn't a gameboy) until we can properly discuss something and settle on appropriate boundries. Other times they surprise me with how responsible they are. But if you're starting from a position of "kids can't learn to use a phone responsibly", I'm not sure what to say.
AFAIK nothings really changed, but 14 has been on the fringe of legal employment age in most scenarios for a long time and is regulated. 16+ is fair game, plus depending on location there is the whole issue about how they get to work.
Yes, the lightning network is built on top of Bitcoin and depends on it but the transactions happen "off-chain". I was just making a generic claim about payment processors that enable "off-chain" BTC transactions, from the decentralized ones like Lightning to the completely centralized ones like Paypal.
I just saw this article[0] about how the constant scams we're subjected to on a daily basis are a big problem for more than just monetary reasons. If companies weren't allowed to collect so much data, and weren't allowed to just share with whomever they wanted to, this would be much less of a problem. Many of these scams are possible because of the huge trove of personal information collected by companies like Amazon, Google, etc. Whether they lose control of their data to hackers or sell it to untrustworthy "partners" doesn't really matter. If they didn't have it, they couldn't sell it or lose it.

Restaurants can have different prices for delivery, pick up or dine-in, and this predates delivery apps. There can be many reasons.

Some places actually charge less when you are ordering takeaway (because their costs are less because they don't have the costs of service or rent), and some charge more (like +1 USD per box).

If the restaurant has a prime location, it makes sense that if you don't use their seats / toilets / dining room / service that you don't have to pay for it.

Thinking further, why do takeaway people have to pay for the shiny location ?

Every time I eat a pizza, I sponsor the nice terrace dinner of someone else in front of the Eiffel Tower.

But I don't want the Eiffel Tower view, the pizza could be baked in a factory (dark kitchen) I'd be fine with it.

In general, how did we get to this point that it is more expensive to order takeaway food from a restaurant than if you cooked the food by yourself ?

Scale is supposed to bring the price down, not up.
The more quantities of a food is produced, the less expensive it is per item.

Popular restaurants run like factories, the 11th or the 271th baked salmon is going to be the same.

By logic it should be considerably cheaper to produce 10'000 pizza (this is 30 per day) using professional ingredients and optimised processes than baking your own pizza at home.

We got to this point of 5 USD for a beer + 20 USD for a very generic pizza in a dark kitchen.

What's wrong with that ?
Everything.

Part of the solution could be delivery companies offering their own drinks selection and restaurants opening more takeaway-only businesses (hence, more efficient).

This is a huge failure of management where it occurs - and one of the chief causes for it is short leadership tenure.

Places where leadership remains stable over long periods tend to do better on this front. You pay for some big architectural overhaul, but you insist that you live on the new thing long enough to actually ship features before you go into the next cycle of renewal.

But in some companies leadership tenure is short - execs stick around for 2-3 years max, which is just enough time to complete an architectural migration but not enough to ship stuff on it!

Ask HN: How to count metrics from executions of AWS lambdas?
I have all sorts of metrics I would like to count and later query. For example I have a lambda that processes stuff from a queue, and for each batch I would like to save a count like this:

{
"processes_count": 6,
"timestamp": 1695422215,
"count_by_type": {
"type_a": 4,
"type_b": 2
}
}

I would like to dump these pieces somewhere and later have the ability to query how many were processed within a time range.

So these are the options I considered:
1. write the json to the logs, and later have a component (beats?) that processed these logs and send to a timeseries db.
2. in the end of each execution send it directly to a timeseries db (like elasticearch).

What is better in terms of cost / scalability? Are there more options I should consider?
