Sure, but it's probably partially more difficult because there are heftier regulatory requirements for non-citizens, no? I'm just curious how that translates practically to KYC/AML work on your side
> I think what you are describing is class based rather than caste based. Caste is explicitly based on heredity and is unchangeable.

You're right, of course, and that's a valuable distinction to make. Anyone in one class at Google could move to the other and they would be accepted.

> The fact that the two classes are made up mostly of different ethnicities is probably caused by a confounding variable, such as different educational opportunities, as well as discrimination of course.

In California at least the racial component is pretty clearly due to history: The Spanish took CA from the Indians, and then we took it from the Spanish (and now the Latinos are gradually taking it back in a largely peaceful demographic transition.) Throughout the state, even in the most progressive enclaves, there's this racial/class system. (Come to think of it, would that count as a caste system?)

To me the weird thing isn't that progressives don't want to hang out with "the help". That's hypocritical but unsurprising. The thing I find strange is when other nationalities/ethnicities come into the picture and they slot into the system in different classes.
You could maybe reasonably call this “fileless” if it was calling memfd from python. But even then - memfd does leave the file descriptor dangling and accessible in /proc/, it’s not much better than just dropping your file in /dev/shm.

In a windows malware context “fileless” means something entirely different from this.

The short answer is "math". The material either coalesced into the moon or eventually fell back to earth. It's actually a pretty short lifetime for the rings, compared to ring systems like Saturn. Earth has several disadvantages when it comes to maintaining a set of rings. It doesn't have gravity strong enough for tidal forces to tear orbiting bodies apart at far remove from the planet and it doesn't have "shepherd moons" to keep ring material in a stable orbit.

Ask HN: Why are distributed systems so polarizing?
There is an odd gatekeeping duality on tech forums:

1. You're not a proper engineer if you can't write scalable, highly available software that scales to infinity. Real engineers write production-grade, robust, fault tolerant, scalable, highly available, observable mission-critical systems.

2. No one actually needs large distributed systems, you're not google, stop trying to build large scalable systems. One Server + backup is enough. Everything else is overkill, complexity, resume-driven engineering. I can handle 50k RPS with one beefy bare metal machine, written in Rust. Unless you have 10 million customers, which 99.9% of companies don't have.

I'm not sure how to feel about this.

I don't think it works as you think it works...

The non-blockchain equivalent of this would be: "If you are buying stuff on Rakuten please use "Zw3rk" as referrer code! I promise I'll spend all money earned by referrals on servers for GHC CI"

So yes, technically this is a blockchain system which supports GHC CI... but practically it is all traditional hardware and regular cash after the first step.
Advice from someone who regularly got thrown on "new tech stacks" and finally has fallen into the "boring" work of a popular language and very defined set of well known standards:

You might think you are "unimportant" and maybe at your company that's true. Looking at it less cynically you could also be reliable, capable of parsing and improving code, and more familiar with a wide variety of code styles. These suit you well to this job and being a janitor often pays really well. Often times as I advanced in the ranks I spent more time modifying other people's code than starting something from scratch.

You don't want to be learning new tech stacks all the time. If that's your personal hobby - great. But these stacks come and go and collecting N number of tech stacks to throw on your resume won't make you any more desirable to a new position down the road that requires senior X or staff Y and you've spent so much time in varying tech stacks you're not at that level. At the end of the day people WANT "boring" engineers. They're reliable, predictable, and knowledgeable.
The popular consensus on HN seems to be that the government having absolute monopolistic control and power over personal finance is inarguably good.

"But money laundering!" so?

"But evading taxes!" so?

You can catch people in the act of attempting to commit these crimes if your agents aren't lazy shits. Forcing everyone's transactions to be public and traceable just so it's easy for the government to arrest people is not a good tradeoff.
Agree I think you're either in it for the money or the tech, but sadly it seems those two are too tightly linked.
> but this one was 100% identical to Earth's crust?

Given the size of this impact, the crust[1] didn't really survive. Most of the mantle material ended up vaporized and either falling back down or coalescing onto a single fragment, becoming the moon.

It was a collision "of" the planet, not "on" the planet.

[1] Which in any case wouldn't have survived this long anyway. The differentiation process that produces the crust we're standing on takes billions of years. There aren't any surface rocks that old, and wouldn't be even if the collision hadn't happened.
I'm not really sure your analogy helps; in either case, there are people who would agree that it matters, and people who would be baffled that anyone could get wrought up over it.
Yes BlackRock owns a lot of things in the world via their funds... But what does that have to do with Crypto?
This makes me wonder if it could be optimized further if mechanical design changes are explored. It's common practice in aerospace to minimize dirty air in certain cases. I wonder if there are opportunities where different turbine designs could be deployed depending on the windmill density.

I'm rejecting the premise that we need a neutral money supply. (I reject the notion such a thing can exist. Money--monetary value, even--are social constructs.)

International trade in a multipolar world with sovereign currencies and commodities works. It has since at least the Bronze Age. So yes, if someone wants to cart around gold or use crypto, that's fine. But it doesn't magically exempt them from the law. A Dutchman committed crimes under Dutch law. They were arrested in the Netherlands. This isn't some Kim Dotcom bullshit. It's the law being applied plainly.

Yup, that's called tercom (terrain contour matching), and is an alternative for GPS correction. Used for example by the Tomahawk cruise missile. Note that you still also want INS, though, cause why not.

Looks like they did some pretty comprehensive testing:

> "In a months-long experiment in a real utility-scale wind farm in India, the predictive model was first validated by testing a wide range of yaw orientation strategies, most of which were intentionally suboptimal. By testing many control strategies, including suboptimal ones, in both the real farm and the model, the researchers could identify the true optimal strategy. Importantly, the model was able to predict the farm power production and the optimal control strategy for most wind conditions tested, giving confidence that the predictions of the model would track the true optimal operational strategy for the farm. This enables the use of the model to design the optimal control strategies for new wind conditions and new wind farms without needing to perform fresh calculations from scratch."
No, that's not what they said. They said if you are using it to break laws, then you can't not expect to be arrested.

A money laundering operation can hardly been seen as fundamentally a way to provide privacy but as a way to change dirty money into clean. It's like claiming that an illegal brothel provides employment services as well as anything dodgy that people might use it for!
I've led the implementation of Nix as a dev env at my workplace to pretty good results, but none of us are quite yet willing to touch flakes yet because they're still marked as experimental.

Expensive clothes are typically more environmentally to make individually, but it’s very unusual that they are worn once. Top brands are resold. Others are typically purchased by people who plan on keep wearing them.
Or, sometimes a move which can work, is you start your own skunkworks project.

In my experience there is a dynamics similar to bullying: employees compete for visibility (height unironically helps here lol) and shipping new projects, while pushing away the rest of us, naturally leading to this distribution of roles.

You have to outbully the bullies (and develop a political presence where people have a bit of fear when they think about pushing their maintenance duty onto you), or at least to become inconvenient for such work.

It's office politics, plain and simple.
asdf is great and it is very nice to see that the author is interested in the performance. Great job!
I like premake, but almost every library I try to use already uses CMake or make. It just becomes a hassle translating their CMake scripts into premake or manually including the appropriate source code in the build.
> This is not what responsible domain ownership looks like. It shouldn’t take a lot of digging around to find out why a subdomain of yours resolves.

DNS is one of the most notoriously cumbersome systems around, even for advanced engineers. Most people spend very little time (less than 1 hour per year) dealing with it, which isn't not long or often enough to commit learning to long-term memory, and the opacity of the different layers, plus tiers of caching, make it difficult to diagnose and debug problems when they arise.

Even professional network engineers frequently trip over "basic" problems with DNS. It's a system with virtually zero guardrails and so many potential hazards that it's completely understandable for almost anyone to find themselves in these situation.

There's a reason this haiku is so famous:

> It’s not DNS

> There’s no way it’s DNS

That depends on what you are doing and your position. IT must expect senior hackers will try to find ways to improve their setup. I wish more companies would recognize that it is not wise to have their workers surveilled by external companies and instead setup these machines with tight privacy by default.
If displaying post tax prices is not required by law, then it is usually a competitive disadvantage.

People will see the post tax price, compare it in their head with the pre-tax price they saw at some other store, and feel like the post tax prices store is more expensive even if this store’s final price is actually slightly lower than the other store’s price.
Travel programs are made with necessary permits, filmed with local approval, done by professionals, and often during off-peak times/seasons both to avoid issues with overcrowding and improve program quality.

From my experience, exciting projects get assigned to people willing to work 50+ hour weeks and be on call nights and weekends if something breaks because these exciting new products are market-share grabs. If you have shown resistance to working long or late hours you will be put on projects that are not as time and availability sensitive.
I eat well and do 16/8. By eat well, an example is a heavy salad, arugula, roast chicken, tomatoes, a bit of cheese, mushrooms, and croutons, light dressing. That's a lunch at 1p. By 2pm, I'm ready to slide under my desk for a nap.
This "[...] sends a strong message to [other] digital platforms [...]" that it is not possible to compete with any FAANG at these shady business battlefields.

Thank you. Yeah, I kind of misunderstood GGP as a deliberate misinterpretation of my usage of the countable noun "litter". And it ticked me off.

If people are experiencing pain, and especially if they're experiencing bleeding they need to stop what they're doing right away, heal and try again later except much more slowly, incrementally, gently and with ample lubrication.

Some conservatives get upset about books talking about how to safely do this stuff in schools, but the reality as evidenced by this article is that people are doing these practices unsafely, getting hurt and incurring lifetime negative effects as a result. I'm not thrilled about it either, but seeing as we can't eliminate the practice (anal sex is hardly a new idea anyway), we may as well provide guidance to make it safe, which is, incidentally, the same thinking behind the government providing clean syringes and safe rooms for drug use.

How do you know that this guy was arrested "just for writing open source code?"

The whole point of my comment was that he was probably arrested for more than that... Or at least, we should wait to see what the evidence against the guy is.

If you go around saying "the sky is falling! they're coming for the developers!" then it turns out the guy was actually doing bad stuff to help launder money, you're going to make it that much harder to get people's attention when there is an actual abuse of police power.

> They did accompany it with a greater set of changes

Doesn’t your wording here clarify why using ‘fewer’ might actually be incorrect from their point of view? You’re referring to changes that are qualitatively larger, just like TFL may have been trying to communicate changes that are qualitatively smaller, routes with less noticeable changes to a smaller number of riders, or even a smaller number of rider-trips, without having to include an explanatory paragraph. The number of changes might be irrelevant to most people, and it’s a good thing if TFL is trying to tell you whether statistically you should expect to notice changes based on your usage, and not whether the potentially somewhat meaningless total number of changes is lower.

‘Least’ is a word that allows subjective interpretation, while ‘fewer’ is not. Saying ‘fewer changes’ implies something more specific than saying ‘least changes’, and in making it more specific it may literally communicate the wrong thing.
Well you're looking after the stuff which is working and making the company money, the other engineers are working on stuff which might make money, or could be a total trainwreck.

Good point, but you kind of miss the point. Some sports, like road cycling, have been all but reduced to one variable (how many W/kg can you produce?). Turning yourself into the world’s best road cyclist is a grim slog at the border of overtraining and starvation. Even more complex ones require serious dedication and sacrifice.

But at that point they’re jobs or obsessions. They’re something you do because you must, not because you enjoy it.
