I don't know all the details, some were pretty hidden. I just looked because I saw a "non-toxic" label and doubted it.

I remember the dies that I could understand are mostly organic (and thus, may have a limited lifetime). There were many that I gave-up understanding the composition.

Anyway, I brought those in 2013. Things may have improved.
Would you still go to work if there was no pay check?
I came here to say this.

I'll add to this… the MBA is not worth the debt you will incur to get the paper.

You can earn multiples of that getting straight to work and skipping the pedigree part. What you learn by doing the work will be more valuable than the theory in class.

You can get a few books that'll cover MBA curriculum, much cheaper.

How am I qualified to speak on this? Business Management undergrad. Can definitely tell you it's not worth the money.

I am successfully self-employed and have earned in the mid 6-figures each year for the last ~7 years.

And he's wrong.

_That_ problem is caused by the lack of choice. The corruption is the laws passed to entrench the Republican and Democratic party as the only two practical choice on every ballot. The lack of accountability is a direct result of that and nearly all other sources of dysfunction stems from it. The amount of compromise every voter has to make to support their platform of least disgust is the problem.

You can have your candidates in any color you like, so long as that color is blue/red.
The third law: "A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses."

Are you a stupid person if you do this once? Twice? Frequently? (Does anyone do it frequently?) Are any of us not stupid? And what does this have to do with the normal meaning of "stupid"?

Fair enough. But given an X number of safety deposit boxes to assume without further prior evidence that each and every one of them must contain money that was illicitly obtained seems to be a bit coarse as well. The article certainly does not suggest transparency with regards to the way the raid was conducted.

I think there's certainly room in the industry for that as an idea, but I wouldn't want it to become the norm.

it has the potential for all sorts of conflicts of interest and I'm not sure I like the principle of it. if you're an expert in a field, and you're talented enough to write about it for the popular masses, I think you deserve to be fully compensated for that

You can live relatively comfortable in Argentina for 7-8 years without working.
I said this one isn't much of an issue, didn't I? But it's related to a bigger complaint of mine, which has had non-trivial consequences in the past, so I talked about it.
Propose a practical solution.
One of the jobs of C-suite people is to run the optics.

The way the company is perceived; both in and out; is really up to them.

I remember the company I worked with (a highly reputable Japanese company) made a deal with an SV startup. It was a great startup. The people behind it were the "real deal." Some of the most brilliant people I've had the honor to work with. The tech was risky as hell. I think a number of mistakes were made by the beancounters and executives that inked the deal. The Japanese company basically became VC shareholders of the startup. They paid several million dollars, in a few tranches.

We worked our asses off, in that deal. People in all parts of the relationships were burning themselves out. Like I said, risky tech. Things ended up not working out as planned.

After one of the tranches, one of the founders went out and brought a top-of-the-line Model S. Pissed off the Japanese, something fierce.

Things went south, fairly quickly, after that. I don't think it was the cause for the breakup, but it lost the startup some powerful friends, in Tokyo, when they really needed them.

US Justice Department investigating data breach of federal court system
The issue is the principal-agent conflict that cash-out opportunities create. The executives have a fiduciary duty to shareholders, including their employees. Cashing out not only reduces the alignment of incentives between executives and shareholders, it also frequently causes executives to accept funding deals that are suboptimal for other shareholders. E.g., they may accept funding at a lower valuation or with otherwise less favorable terms in exchange for a partial cash out.

Of course, you're correct in saying that everything is a negotiation. Rank-and-file employees should have accounted for the risk that they'd get screwed over by the founders and required more cash or equity to compensate for that risk. But I worry about a future in which the best talent refuses to work at private startups because the risk of getting screwed renders employee equity next-to-worthless. Arguably we're already there.
Except it's not hard proof at all - no one person in a company can ever be even the primary reason for that 10 million profit. Further what happens in the years that by the same metric they lose a company 10 million...

Btw my current company offers bonus vacation days instead of financial incentives, and they go to every one in the team responsible for achieving product goals. I feel a little guilty as I'm enjoying that benefit today despite not having been at the company at the point the goals were met! I like the idea though...
Tolkien's words on Lord of the Rings:

> The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision. That is why I have not put in, or have cut out, practically all references to anything like 'religion', to cults or practices, in the imaginary world. For the religious element is absorbed into the story and the symbolism.

I'm an engineer (current job is designing and building small spacecraft), so forgive me for raining on physicists' dreams, but a huge reason such a telescope is not currently practical is the enormous amount of propellant required to get you there and then station keep to stay focused on a target. The latter is usually glossed over in this concept but it alone blows mission cost out of the water. Would make James Webb look like a cute little project.

If you don't have an active propulsion system for station keeping then you cannot pick targets. Who wants that? Nobody.

This concept is 50 years off at minimum.

This has been _legitimately_ done in regular markets before, albeit with debt-like, rather than equity-like instruments.

Remember sub-prime crisis and the "Collateralised Debt Obligation" -- basically: set up a shell "company" with no assets, issue 3 types of "stock" from it (tranches at the low, medium and high level), and then have this company buy underlying debt (say mortgages, or car repayment receivables), use the cashflows from those to pay the coupons (dividends) to the holders of the CDO in the various tranches, after taking a little something off the top. And voila - you have essentially the same idea.

We all know how that CDO thing ended, but, remember, it was _fully regulated_ and legit!

So lets not sleep walk into thinking that just because the SEC of the CFTC says it's okay, it is. They are flawed people, with profit motives, just like the rest of us.

> Film crews are incredibly overworked, underpaid and work in absolutely terrible conditions.

People get into the arts by choice, nobody chooses to work in films because they're starving. It's weird to feel sorry for people who get to do their dream jobs.

> Film production is an intricate machine that requires everything to be perfectly in place in order to get a shot and things very frequently go wrong even without random people walking on set and gumming up the works.

I've been on filmsets and have the opposite impression. While they have a script that describes the set, most of it is actually improvised. As long as you don't get into the shot, or disrupt people doing work, you are not affecting the production.
1. You, and many others are willing to pay the price, so that would imply that the price is worth it.

2. How much do you think it should cost, exactly? Do you mean to imply that the cost structure of such services should be much lower?
This could be useful in places where you need to deliver something to someone who trusts you, but corp policies get in the way. I’m talking not maliciously. There a cases where you’re admin but still can’t quite run something, or download an exe, but this might get past.

As an american, I really enjoy learning things like this about how other countries view us and our craziness. A lot of people here would be genuinely confused at the comparison.

>"If it happens in Africa it is called corruption. If it happens in the US it is called lobbying".

To add to this, we (americans) also never refer to our own elite class as oligarchs. That's reserved for other countries, because ours is a totally fair, democratic, and meritocratic society, and we're definitely not ruled by a small group of well connected rich people.
> Nobody is being forced to read/share that content.

Those things are literally the result of human and automated research on how to make people read/share content. I wonder what is your definition of "forced".
Performance reviews degenerating into assessment of "politics and networking" skills, as GP put it, is more common than people care to admit.

Objectively evaluating performance of somebody who is smarter than you is incredibly hard, and sliding into using "s/he is a nice person" metric instead, is an easy way to avoid that hard work.
I walked past a film set in my city and I happened to be wearing mostly black and a black ball cap and I was asked where a piece of equipment was when I was just walking by.

Film crews are large, typically not one continuous unit, ie there’s always new people on set so seeing a new face isn’t uncommon. They’re also extremely busy and overworked so it doesn’t take much at all to blend in. Even if you just happen to be walking by with no intentions of trying to work your way onto a set.

According to the article $24K-per-year was his starting salary, which is what he would have earned developing his first and most successful game Yar's Revenge. Also according to the article the success of Yar's Revenge made him a company rock star that was earning over a million a year.

So to answer your question we should expect a lot from a $24k programmer and less from a $1M programmer.
But that bigger complaint didn't come up in this case, so why are we talking about it?

It's not like the article dives into terms like SE, ICP, AE, CSM, or anything like that.

"Non-trivial consequences," lol, cracks me up. Won't anyone think of all the lost productivity?

Thanks for the questions!

1. The $250 is a flat rate for one newsletter edition but also ends up on the blog portion which is then shared on Twitter. Some of these tweets do 50,000+ impressions on Twitter. This isn’t guaranteed but is something the sponsors are considering when placing an ad. We typically don’t even get into CTR before or after the slot but can if a specific sponsor or potential sponsor wants to. The main metrics they’ve asked about is newsletter size and open rate.

This might have to change if I look to increase prices.

2. My “welcome to the list” email reminds people to add the newsletter to their primary inbox. Once a month or so I also add a short note to kick off a newsletter reminding people to ensure we are in their primary box. I don’t know if this has helped with anything at all but it’s worth doing IMO.
100% agree about this not working unless it’s culture and country specific. It’s also not very interesting to me if i can’t go in and say i want to learn how to cook Venezuelan cuisine today.

As I understand it, just as in the Commons here, although it's technically possible to do this for a controversial issue it's basically pointless, and so it's actually used when it's obvious how the vote will go and nobody cares.

You don't need a rollcall to know why you lost if not even enough people were in favour of your proposition to even force the actual count.

The intended reform would be that the rollcall would happen, yet the details (beyond a total Yes/No count) would not be released, presumably even to the voters themselves. This is a problem because it's hard to maintain trust in such a system.

For popular elections the scale is such that election monitors on behalf of interested parties can easily see a bunch of administrators correctly tallying votes and not focus in on the fact that, hey, voter #283204349 picked Jim Smith for Grand Leader -- however when you're talking about exactly 100 senators that's surely much harder to get right.
There remains no point of comparison between the harm of smoking factual cigarriles and vaping. Vaping remains an effective means of harm reduction of cigarette addiction. Especially as a way of reducing cigarette use, even if it's from 20 to 18, that's a win.

And yeah people will go overboard, it's part of it being a vice. It's a vice, regulate it like a vice. Accept some people will kill themselves for no matter how marginal the high they're chasing is. Tax it accordingly. If you're helping people, make sure your help helps.

This is a better drug than cigarettes. There's different vaping formats, the kind I used to reduce cigarette smoking (which I successfully quit years ago) involved good economics and reasonable refills, buying e-liquid in bulk, being responsible with the wick and battery, and treating it with respect. Not like disposable minimal fuck-the-future Juul shit, the HP printer of vaping.
I guess this is a lesson to Clubhouse that has built it's whole company around FOMO and its invite system. It turns out you weren't missing anything.

Just another hype train that got overheated by a16z and the other smaller VCs that tried boosting the platform and it ran out of steam after it was copied to death and the poor delays and the disastrous release of the Android app.

Now not even the VCs want to use it anymore and have instead moved to YouTube.

Cool! I took a course with Leiths that's similar (16 weeks of online classes where you record and get feedback from a chef) and Rouxbe for a longer vegan-based cooking course (with good support and reviews by chefs), both during covid. Leiths is pretty affordable as you can pay monthly.

Once I leave the Bay Area and move back to Europe I'm keen to take an extended work break and complete a 'proper' cooking course at Le Cordon Bleu for fun but realistically I don't think I can just take 6 months out of work and spend 22k on a hobby! https://www.cordonbleu.edu/london/diplome-de-cuisine/en

Use something like Lambda and you get multi-az for free.

Dynamo is another service that wouldn't be impacted as it is multi-az.

Getting postgres RDS multi-region would require the extra couple of lines in your CDK, but is fairly straightforward.
Lots of people choose their industry.

Show HN: TensorDock Core GPU Cloud – GPU servers from $0.29/hr
Hello HN!

I’m Jonathan from TensorDock. After 7 months in beta, we’re finally launching Core Cloud, our platform to deploy GPU virtual machines in as little as 45 seconds! https://www.tensordock.com/product-core

Why?
Training machine learning workloads at large clouds can be extremely expensive. This left us wondering, “how did cloud ever become more expensive than on-prem?” I’ve seen too many ML startups buy their own hardware. Cheaper dedicated servers with NVIDIA GPUs are not too hard to find, but they lack the functionality and scalability of the big clouds.

We thought to ourselves, what if we built a platform that combines the functionality of the large clouds but made it priced somewhere between a dedicated server and the large clouds? That’s exactly what we’ve done.

Built to make engineers more productive. We have 3 machine learning images so you can start training ML models in 2 minutes, not 2 hours. We provide a REST API, so you can integrate directly your code with ours. And, there’s a community CLI you can use to manage your servers directly via command line

We provide a feature set only large clouds supersede. We have storage-only billing when the VM is stopped (for only $0.073/GB/month) so that you aren't paying for compute when you don't need it. We also provide the ability to edit virtual machines after they’re created to downsize costs. If you provision a NVIDIA A6000 and find out you’re only using 50% of it, stop the VM, modify it to a NVIDIA A5000, and you’ll be billed the lower hourly rate without needing to recreate your server and migrate data over! Our infrastructure is built on 3x-replicated NVMe-based network storage, 10 Gbps networking, and 3 locations (New York, Chicago, Las Vegas) with more coming soon!

- CPU-only servers from $0.027/hour
- NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000s from $0.29/hour
- NVIDIA Tesla V100s from $0.52/hour
- and 8 other GPU types that let you truly right-size workloads so that you’re never paying for more than you actually need

We're starting off with $1 in free credits! Yes, we sound cheap… but $1 is all you need to get started with us! That’s more than 3 hours of compute time on our cheapest configuration! Use code HACKERNEWS_1 on the billing page to redeem this free credit :)

I have PTSD from 20 years ago trying to convert OpenOffice documents to PDF with ReportLab. It was janky because all elements had to be positioned in absolute coordinates to the virtual page.

Nowadays I'll go straight to https://weasyprint.org to produce PDFs in Python. That's what I used for https://scaleway.com invoices.
I'm working on integrating it with a VSCode plugin right now :) After that I'll write up a post and try to release it as something easy to use!
I would love to have whatever problems Google has, and if FOMO is how Google got to be/remain Google, please yes give me lots and lots of FOMO...

My point is that maybe one of the most successful companies on the planet might not be a good example for illustrating "disastrous company strategies".

I do agree, generally, with the article FWIW.
Turtles all the way down? I don't think you need precise definitions of "harm" and "benefit" to understand the point. The subjectiveness of these terms don't not undermine the definition.
That's remote development, and you don't need a web-based UI to do it. There's also JetBrains IDEs, any terminal editor over SSH, and probably plenty of other editors I haven't looked into.
I am hosting this on Substack (https://substack.com/) which was free to get started in minutes. I was able to buy and add my own domain later as well.

If I were starting from scratch today I would choose Beehiiv (https://www.beehiiv.com/ ) over Substack. They just seem to care more and are more or less the same but adding features much quicker.

I am moving to a custom setup soon but the above options are very useful in getting something off the ground.
I'm experienced in doing this too.

Name one thing you can't do.
