I don't care if Twitter bans him or others, but it coming via pressure from an administration is very problematic.

In fairness to the manager it's a bit odd to assume that if an email reminder is auto-generated, you don't have to do it.
The dev doesn't operate the TornadoCash contract. The code is actually run by people who operate ethereum nodes. After the initial deployment, the dev has zero involvement.

> Perfect information, to the extent it can be possible, is a requirement for a market to be efficient

This is simply not true, as I said, risk factors into every price.

> Where are the incentives for early diagnosis and prevention in free market healthcare?

Don't you feel any incentive to take care of yourself with early diagnosis and prevention?

> pure free market healthcare provides an intrinsic incentive to extract abusive profit from a customer whose life or wellbeing are on the line

Just like if you're hungry. But food in a free market is cheap and plentiful.

> who does not have the knowledge to decide whether they really need this expensive procedure they are being offered.

The beauty of the free market is the consumer gets to decide who to trust.

> There's no reason to assume it wouldn't be even worse under a completely free market.

The US had a free market in health care up to the 1960s, and there's no evidence of the dark predictions you make for it.
Despite your feelings, that's not the issue. The issue is that the government apparently coerced Twitter to do it, which would be a First Amendment violation.
It says in the article that the person has benefited financially from this. It's not about making open source, I don't know why people are raising that red herring. Implementing a mixer is (probably) not illegal in The Netherlands, putting one in production and setting it up in such a way that you benefit from it absolutely is.

I don't believe it's a coincidence that the sanctions and the arrest happened close together, there's likely some coordination there. But it's really unlikely the sanctions somehow are relevant in this case.
After I went more free style I got my own insurance. Then I usually do not go with any employee health plan, it changes yearly anyways and adds friction to changing jobs/contracts. If more people did this we could solve this.

It does suck that when you are on your own you have to either join a group or be rated at the individual/family level. If we fixed grouping in health insurance this would be much better. Grouping like how Medicare does it across all private insurance would be much better.

The great thing about not taking work insurance is no extra cost, can easily go from contract to contract or full time for a while, and with your own company it can be expensed. The only downside is the part work would pay for, however you don't get any say in the type of insurance or what companies. You can ask for a small bump in pay to help cover it.

Companies would prefer not to have to deal with health insurance as it is a competitive weight in the US. Private insurance and public options, both separated from the employer is the way to go.

We don't get our home/auto/life insurance from work, why do we get the most personal type of insurance, health, from employers. Not only that healthcare bound to the job leads to all sorts of problems, ageism, harder to change jobs, harder to compete with other countries and more.

If developers starting doing this more, we alone could change the legacy employer/healthcare coupled system.
Oops, read over that, thanks :)
Swift/XCode (guess I had unrealistically high expectations, the whole experience was just downright infuriating), Seed 7 (somewhat exotic, I liked it but had some build problems on Mac), Groovy, FreePascal/Lazarus,
D+VScode (almost), Python+VSCode. Embarrassing perhaps, but I ended up doing my prototype in PHP, debugging on my Mac was not fun but its awesome documentation kept on saving the day.
Can you get a doctorate online, and should you?
Some major banks do allow you to open an account without an SSN whenever you have a valid proof of address just like Pana. The difference is that they require you to visit the branch in person, we don't.

Sorry you got ghosted like that - it happens way too often and it sucks. But I think you're using your understandable frustration with this company to dismiss a highly-effective interview technique.

Programming is largely solo work punctuated by a high-bandwidth communication (presenting your solution to the team, review, etc.) A take home assignment with a follow up simulates the actual job environment, especially for remote work. No other coding interview technique comes close - portfolio review doesn't show how you worked only that you've worked, in-person coding challenges and whiteboard interviews are so far removed from the daily experience.

2kloc / 6hrs does seem excessive though. My advice to interviewers - keep the exercise time-boxed to 2 hours (And actually have some developers work through it internally to confirm this!) "How far can this candidate get on the problem in 2 hours" is a better signal than "Can they build the perfect solution with unlimited time". And time boxing the assignment gives you lots to talk about - "If you have more time, what would you add or change?" is a prompt that should yield another high-value signal.
"It is a good sign in a nation when such things are done badly. It shows that all the people are doing them. And it is a bad sign in a nation when such things are done very well, for it shows that only a few experts and eccentrics are doing them, and that the nation is merely looking on."

Guess that makes every government money printer complicit in money laundering, seeing how the majority of it happens through cash.
I borrowed Byte from the public library. I remember being really baffled by this Smalltalk issue.

BASIC cast such a shadow over the 8-bit era that no other scripting languages were really significant on micros in the 1980s.

In the early 1990s there was Perl, TCL and Lua that came in with the 32-bit age. Visual Basic was particularly interesting because it was tied to an object model that was bigger than Visual Basic itself. That is, you could write COM components in a language like C or C++ and script them in VB. For that matter circa 1990 there were quite a few scientific programming systems that revolved around scripting languages like MATLAB and IDL.

LabVIEW, however, is in a special category of systems that represent a (usually) real-time calculation with a graph of operators. This kind of system is particularly prevalent today for sound synthesis.
It would be nice if we could import a library and have a way to only import the dependencies that are actually used in the code path, hide the rest and be notified whenever things change after an update.
An American could be excused for thinking it is not going to fly if all he did was write some software that helps with your financial anonymity. Unfortunately much of the world does not operate under American law.

The right way to think about defending one's country is that it means "defends the interests of the country", which can include helping allies, keeping trade routes stable, etc.

Those doors are not heavy. It's not a flying tank. Removal of printed in-flight seatback magazines would offset the weight. Until 9/11, flight deck door procedures were lax.
I noticed this very clearly with World of Warcraft Classic…I’d played the original WoW for a bit when it first came out in 2004, and had a lot fun with it but didn’t really have time for it with school and stuff.

During the original March 2020 lockdowns I picked up Classic and had a great time enjoying a style of game that doesn’t seem to really exist anymore. Until I got to higher levels and started to realize everyone was just micro-optimizing the hell out of everything, and kind of aggressive about it (people actually private messaged me mocking the fact that I played a Human instead of Gnome because Gnomes were mathematically a tiny bit better).

There was none of the mystery or excitement from the first time around, just widespread obsession with getting “best in slot” gear and the perfect combination of other tricks to make everything easy.

I still had a lot of fun mostly staying away from this attitude where possible, but when a significant number of players in a multiplayer game are operating like that it bleeds into many areas of the game, even if you try to avoid it.
Heh, I like the way you tell a story. I’m inclined to give DDG the benefit of the doubt here, but if any DDG employees are reading then please update your policy to be more clear / explicit
I believe you completely missed the joke.
He is wrong, actually. STEM fields are the exception. Most white-collar jobs require an undergrad degree, but the industry itself doesn't require a particular job-related credential, and the degree itself isn't enough to get a job.

Do you really believe this? Worse, is this accurate?

I cannot think of a single travel adventure I have taken, where my purpose was to collect a story to tell other people.

There's a deeper criticism to be made for "experiences" in general, like what I tend to do: travel and adventure for the experience of it, in-itself. The nature of the criticism is still murky to me; Nietzsche writes about it - though he was a bit of a hermit.
Several low level embedded C++ projects here, but most of our new projects are in Rust. It's becoming increasingly hard to justify using C++, despite how much it has improved over the years.

The thing is that interviewing is hard; it is a full-time job, really, and one that could make or break the company. At the same time, interviewing is not something that current employees are remunerated for, materially or even in terms of time. It is very rare for deadlines to move because half the team is conducting interviews.

So, what ends up happening is that nearly everyone in the interviewing process ends up half-arsing it - from the recruiters who prefer to contact nearly everyone eligible based on some keyword searches - to the engineers who have no time to be thorough - to the hiring manager who usually has a bunch of fires to extinguish.

A few companies do tend to put quantifiable metrics around their processes but they're usually too reactive and inconsequential.

The interviewers have a vested interest in being more productive by hiring the best people, but at the same time, there is personal friction against hiring someone good/better when your own promotion is hanging barely by the 'meets expectations' thread.

Now the assignments - they're almost always totally useless. Like, build a new app based on a third party API and then make sure to test it. Useless because of multiple reasons - the API is nothing like what you use at work; your current product team has coalesced around some archaic architecture that no Greenfield app would use; it's the take home assignment of the month (like the favorite 'build a movie app using the OMDb API'). A better alternative would be to open up your own API and perhaps a module of your current production app and add something to it, create a PR, or even just fix a bug or two. I actually think asking candidates to document a module is much more useful than asking them to write code you would never use, even if you pay for such an assignment.

Onsite interviews are even more useless - it's usually the most vocal people asking esoteric questions about older technology or algorithms that they've had success with candidates stumbling upon. Again, almost none of the whiteboard exercises or questions are from real-world scenarios.

You could pay candidates for the interview process, but that doesn't even address why interviewing is so fundamentally broken. I bet we would have amazing software products if we just interviewed better, especially when companies have been able to lobby for right to work laws nearly everywhere.
>Both groups agreed on it being fully aware of Google's revenue, and if Google had the revenue of an average company it's likely neither side would have suggested the amount. Somewhat revenue based.

It says absolutely nothing of the sort in the article. Seems like yet another assumption you are making.

By the same logic, both groups are fully aware that Google starts with the letter G, therefore the size of the fine is based on the fact that Google starts with the letter G.

I'm really not trying to be an asshole here, but please don't go around saying things that you don't know to be true.

In Safari/iOS you can just hit Request Desktop Website in the aA menu to bypass the app-pushing messages and Mature or divisive or NSFW thread blocking.

I wish I hadn’t discovered this because it was a great way for me to realise I was time-wasting and should just read a different site.
If you are aware that your app is being very disproportionately used to facilitate criminal transactions, you would generally be required to take steps to try to prevent or discourage such usage. This is especially true if you are profiting from your app (as the governments think the tornado cash developers were). This does not necessarily mean backdooring the app.

Remember how Kim DotCom went down for operating MegaUpload while actively knowing that one of the bigger usages of the site was piracy, and not doing enough to discourage or prevent such use? The concept here is not all that different.

This is why I would never contribute to some open source projects like metasploit that come too close to falling on the wrong side of the line.
On a related note, on mobile if they try to make you install the app to view some content, you can just "request desktop site" and that will bypass the block. It's annoying and breaks a lot of the formatting for mobile, but if you're just trying to read something or watch a video, it works in a pinch.
I can't see anybody having that self-control is my point. I can't think of any person in history that has shown this level of restraint, especially about a very valuable and very controversial invention.

Occam's razor says it's easier to assume he's dead than trying to imagine him as the most patient Buddhist monk, with deep economic and cryptographic knowledge, the world has ever seen.

"carries far more weight than it really should in our society"

If it should or shouldn't carry the weight is irrelevant, "Sexy" does carry weight so surely the problem is obvious.

Besides, speaking from first hand experience, historically 'sexy' content on the internet usually came with a Malware/Virus, not a good association when the intention is to run scripts that make significant changes to your computer configuration, all for a novelty that lends nothing to the product.

With that being said, I have no issue with it personally.
"Your mistake is giving too much credit to the average human" again the government are just humans. You seem to think its a single point of godly knowledge and wisdom void of mortals. Its just a small group of people who control a larger group of people and they have private motivations often times not in the public interest.

The government (small group of people with outside interests) is constantly wrong and biased on many topics, I would never want them to have a monopoly on free speech or decide what is truth.
Which sentence is more offensive?

- Privacy is sexy

- Don't let Microsoft kill privacy

The answer probably depends where you live. Stereotypically, Americans are afraid of sex, and Europeans are afraid of violence - for example many video games released in Germany were modified to have green blood.

My take: both sides of the pond need to lighten up
Why is going full Amish not scalable? How come I see many cultures living off of the land yet somehow you can’t? Where I grew up there were no stores or jobs, just a small population of farmers.

The problem with permafrost is not that it melts, but rather that it melts during summer and freezes during winter. To build on it one has to drive piles into the ground and build on top of those.

Then there are two cases. First is when the piles can reach bedrock. Then the fact that the layer of melted permafrost will be deeper in summer does not matter. As I understand this is strongly preferred in Russia even if means to move the building site.

The second is when there is no suitable bedrock or it is too deep to reach it with piles without making things too expensive. Then the piles are driven just into the permanent permafrost. But this is problematic even without the warming of climate. The piles conduct heat and melt permanent permafrost around them sinking the building unevenly. Previously this was just accepted. So piles were driven as deep as practically possible and let the building gradually sink under assumption that in 20-30 years the things will have to be rebuild or abandoned.

But nowadays the piles are refrigerated. This way they can be more shallow and more permanent.

So rising temperature is not necessary threatens the infrastructure. It will gradually make buildings on piles that do not reach the bedrock more expensive to operate as the cooling of piles will need more energy.
I agree. For example, holiday gift-giving seems to be taken on as a dreary and/or anxious obligation by everyone I know.

I guess we do it for the subset of people whose "love language" is gifts. But it would be gauché to just give gifts to those people, so now we have to do this whole mess.

Google engineers can’t even figure out that email composed by Google, sent by Google, and specifically signed up for by the user is not spam…

Worse, they have designed a system where their own email not just marked as spam, but as phishing.

Repeatedly. Multiple instances per week. Ongoing for years.

I guess they can make it worse, but they don’t seem to have the talent onboard to make it better.

Imagine the level of hubris needed to be as arrogant as they are, and yet so incompetent.

It's fine to be a critic of fast fashion. Of any type of enterprise for that matter.

We should try, however, not to blame consumers for industry practices.

Consumers are not the ones breaking deals and actually profiting from child and slave labour exploitation and from garbage overproduction. They just legally shop on government licensed stores.

It should be society role as a whole to protect consumers from even being able to buy such products, through quality assurance laws and requisites. The only reason why there even are those types of products in the first place is because society as a whole is complacent about it.

Yes, you can choose to consume consciously, and that is fine for you, but make no mistake, that doesn't come close to solving the larger problem and doesn't give you any sort of moral high ground from which to look down upon those that can't or won't do the same.
I love it, but my work issued PC won't let me run any of the .bat files generated or install other FOSS apps such as freetubeapp.io. I wish I knew a way around Windows Defender Smartscreen managed by my company.
> Why not shop at thrift stores instead?

Because they don't offer the same style in multiple sizes, so if the size doesn't fit, you are out of luck. For me, it's just too much work / time investment. Also, I like to just buy the same pair of trousers again, if the last one broke.

> Why not continue to wear clothes that are visibly damaged?

Social conventions.
It makes you faster at everything else you do, though, because you no longer have to think about it, so it's kinda fast. What it's not, is fashion.

It's amazing how the brattiness and the loudness of punk has virtually taken over the culture, but the anti-conformity of it has remained like hen's teeth.

Perhaps fashion - not just fast fashion, but fashion in toto - is the problem here.
They are applying Sturgeon's law [1] ("ninety-percent of everything is crud"), not Pareto, common misconception.

Pareto would be that 80% of all crypto transactions are done by 20% of all the cryptocurrencies (given 10,953 active cryptos, that would be 2,190), which also doesn't stand since ~99% of all crypto transactions are done by the top 10 cryptos (BTC, ETH, etc.), textbook oligopoly [2].

> git doesn't have a distributed consesus mechanism

It doesn't have an automated distributed consensus mechanism.

It does have a manual distributed consensus mechanism; that's basically how every popular open source project works. You fork the project, make a change, and if your commit is an improvement over the project you forked people will be inclined to merge it into their repositories, eventually arriving at a consensus.

In practice this process is often more centralized than distributed, but it doesn't have to be. If you want to 51% attack a popular repo, all you have to do is make constant, quality improvements to the project over time, and eventually your fork may well become the dominant one even over the objections of any centralized authorities.
sometimes other people know what you want better than you do.
