Hey, I wrote that post so thanks to the person who posted it. Seems to have sparked some interesting discussions.

The Courage to be Disliked is a game-changing book for me so I'd read that if you liked the article.
Yes, seems like the sort of place that dishes our factual statements.
From 10-14 October 2022, GITEX GLOBAL, the world’s largest and most inclusive tech event shall host 4,000+ companies and 100,000+ attendees from 170 countries in Dubai.
It is ok. If you think that you cost more, you can apply for another job or migrate where it is paid more. If your employer and you agreed to this amount, it is fair. Pure economics. At another countries it is another costs of living. Difference in cultural aspects doesn’t is not an argument. Anyway communism doesn’t work.
If godot had official support for JavaScript, maybe via QuickJS - I'd probably actually get off my butt and build the game I've been noodling about for 20 years.
By anecdotal evidence I mean that “providing their first hand account in a private manner” seems to be your personal experience (otherwise it would be either not private or not first-hand), and I assume that not a large number of people confide to you privately in that way.

To put in another way, the claims you put forward here only amount to hearsay. It’s not clear how you think one should take those claims seriously.
I guess they engaged with a critique of capitalism that wasn't (and isn't) available to someone with a more basic education, and communism was seen as an alternative.

A communist back then would point to the capitalist countries committing horrible atrocities of colonialism and slavery.

Another factor would be a rhetoric of liberation. Either you fight against the bourgeoisie, or they will keep sucking your blood as long as you live. That's why conflicts were seen as inevitable.

I doubt anyone condoned violent mass murder. Khmer Rouge and the Cultural Revolution happened in the second half of the XX century.
I don't want to go into that much politics, but if you look at it from high above there's a little more energy coming into the pool (by using that pricing method to squeeze more export out of Norway), and as a result the net total for all of EUs citizens will be a tiny bit lower. Even though it creates havoc in Norway (prices going up maybe 1500% or, some days, an order of magnitude more).
Obviously there's an energy crisis in Europe so I'm not sure EU can be blamed for how it affects Norway, the fault is on Norwegian politicians alone for signing a deal which was such a misfit for how the Norwegian power production works. Unbelievably naive, not even realizing that the already existing methods did everything they wanted - sell surplus when it was safe to do, buy when you could, optimize how hydro resources were used (a lot of the rivers and lakes, the majority in fact, also have fish - and the unwanted high output at the bad time creates havoc - not enough water).
The Acer setup, as such, is probably fine for the majority of the continent, but I don't know enough about power production in most of EUs member states.
Show HN: I made an iOS app for HN instant browsing with searchable favorites
Hi, I made this app a few weeks ago, to solve the following problems: instantly browse HN stories and "hop" from story to story ; save and search favorites (which you can use to save a story for later reading)

As a bonus, the app also works on Mac.

Sometimes the title of a story doesn't do justice to the content, and this app makes sure you never miss an interesting one.
I'm sure manufacturing costs is like 10% or even less, but between the factories in e.g. China and the US or Europe, there's container transport overseas, import taxes and fees, and other such transportation and logistics overhead.

I freqently find myself in a supermarket and think that the packaging for the products there was more expensive than the product itself. Plus the logistics.
It concerns this plugin. We had a previous version of this working for years. It suddenly was deactivated one day and after us reaching out the support team, we were advised we had to upgrade to Grafana Enterprise to be able to get this working again. This is fair enough, however, what shows utter lack of respect is that you couldn't give us a grace period and this resulted in our Production Monitoring to be broken for several days. A company that cares would reach out to its customer repeatedly by email first, and if that got ignored, grant a grace period when the customer reaches out. Payment authorisations take time, and it is not great to have broken monitoring on a system that processes millions of dollars each day.

I remember years ago a friend worked for sun, involved in SAP installs. He said corporations would overpay to install the highest-end (overpriced?) sun systems to get SAP up and running. Apparently the cost savings of something like currency conversions alone would pay for everything almost immediately. And that was just one facet - other efficiencies (taxation?) would have similar savings.
Nope. They're just in legal practice way more limited in scope. It has to be with a company that actually competes with the company you left.
I think this is spot on.

I am a back-end developer, so any front-end dev I do is on hobby projects, and for that w3schools pretty much has the answers needed to get things done.
For back-end related stuff like headers or response codes I do go to MDN, but that is because if I need to look it up it's because I need detailed information.
Yep, precisely what I was referring to.

This seems like a nice article. I think you are off base.
Vietnam is actually a very free economy that is all about free enterprise. It's very common there to make a living doing all kinds of street hustles. the government doesn't like to shut them down. Pretty typical for a developing country. Sure they are Communist but that's just a name.
This is, of course, a joke. But based on the FAQ, the creator seems to really think that we should really hire/select people because of their race, gender, or sexual preferences:

> Seriously. It's not actually that hard to find qualified people who aren't straight, white, men to sit on your panel.

That is, IMO, much worse than the silly "tokenism" they are making fun of.

(Also, the world "qualified" is often used in this context to muddy the water. Usually, you are looking to hire the _most_ qualified person you can, not whatever person who barely meets the minimum qualifications.)

I doubt that law enforcement is going to be successful if they try to force staking outfits to fork the Ethereum network (by actively censoring transactions that other stakers try to publish on the network).

For example, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says that he would wind down Coinbase's staking program before trying to impose a regulation-required fork on the protocol. I suspect that other outfits would follow suit until the only outfits left would be outside the jurisdiction of the regulators.

It might have been true 20/30 years ago, as working class people used to give their kids anglo-saxon names because TV shows and movies, it's just not true now. Let's be honest, in some places, it's more damaging for kids in poor areas to be called "Pierre", "Jacques" or "Henry" or anything that sounds too french because of the deep hatred some people have toward anything french, in France itself.

Division of labor and specialization of trade drive it as an optimization of collective deference to a pool of specialized talent at as large scale as possible. There is no need and only excess cost for every company to run 10k or 200k servers themselves more-or-less exactly the same as anyone else would when they can have someone else deduplicate that effort. For example, I work with endpoints instead of servers. That's not seen clearly as a value-add enabler as much as a necessary business expense activity. Gathering larger and larger numbers of similar users is cheaper when the problems are similar enough to be solved fewer times, preferably by someone else and for less money. It's only when the providers charge too much or cannot provide nuanced-, attuned-enough service that customers look to move. It's a utility, like email, that hardly changes once established because the costs of moving can be painful, time-consuming, and expensive.

Trust me, as someone who got laid off at 1.5 months into the first job, the way that was handled was a jarring experience. I would vastly prefer the above response.

As you spend more time in the industry, you see lots of badly handled layoffs and some better managed ones. You hear the stories of other veterans and learn a little more.

At some point you realize it is something everyone inevitably goes through and just a part and parcel of working in the private sector. You learn to plan ahead financially and mentally to handle such surprises.

Nowhere here do I talk about quitting (other than in the context of the forced one),
I agree, but I believe the “shrinkage” would already reduce the problem substantially, and maybe more importantly, would make developers more careful about what they include as interface dependencies instead of as just implementation dependencies.

All of the process creates incredible gatekeeping effects. Science would be much more robust if published github-style: post your results, engage with the community, fix issues, respond to critics, and eventually wrap it up, but always have the priority date of your original work recorded so that there's no dispute as to who invented it first.
As one comment under said, it's a small Norwegian family company (5 employees) that's been around since at least 1998. And they've always focused on what they do.

From open Norwegian business data (https://www.proff.no/selskap/refsnes-data-as/sandnes/it-kons...), it seems like they have a yearly revenue around $4.5M USD. From the annual salary expenses, those five employees either make bank - or they hire a lot of consultants from overseas.

So I guess it's a good example of first-mover advantage.
I scanned, didn't find the answer quickly, and closed the tab.

I'm with you, I seriously hate that I have to read the internet that way nowadays.
Under "When to Use Bazel - Jason’s Opinion", that is not a particularly good description of how builds (especially code generation) worked at most of Amazon. At least he sort of gestures at the non-universality of his experience by mentioning his experience was in Prime Video and only for 8 months. I have no trouble believing that various pockets of the company found various different wrong ways to do things, I've seen some of those wrong ways myself. But taking a dependency on shared code (for better or for worse) rather than copying something yourself should not have been hard or infrequently done, and wouldn't be for most people using the standard tools. Generating code and having multiple downstream builds depend on that same generated code (e.g. the output artifact in the form of a .jar, in the case of Java) should also be very straightforward, though it was also possible (if a bad idea) for each consumer to run the same generator.

Builds at Amazon were definitely not problem-free, but they were different problems that don't really resemble that description.
> What is the source of the funds to launder and how/why is it already in the bank?

Money mules; you offer some influentiable kid some money to deposit cash into their account and send it on to someone else. Or an old lady. I'm sure part of the Nigerian prince thing is money laundering.

Second one that is very prevalent is physical stores that never seem to get any customers, e.g. in my neck of the woods there's these mobile phone companies everywhere. I'm sure they sell phones, simcards and accessories on occasion, but I can't see how it would cover the cost of rent, let alone make a profit. Unless once a month someone comes in with a few thousand in cash that then gets added to the books over time.

Oh, there actually was an article on HN about that recently, that was "american" candy shops in london: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/london-news-american-...
Modern academics are so niche that people reviewing a paper can pretty much guess who wrote it if they are a known quantity.
Facebook is still making massive amounts of money, and is still hugely popular. It remains my go-to social network in spite of my complaints with conspiracy theories spreading, and I do not think Twitter, TikTok and others, are even remotely competing with Facebook yet.

What happened though is that some younger users lean towards smaller dedicated apps, but these apps are typically less solid, less profitable, and has worse leadership behind them.

Apple also abused their near-monopoly by releasing a privacy update that was very harmful to their competitors, essentially it was an anti-competitive move. As a shareholder in both companies (mostly in Apple), I wish Apple would be held accountable for their hostility and anti-competitive practices against Facebook and other companies. Their arguments against ads holds no water.

What we will probably see, however, is that Apple is not held accountable for their overnight changes to iOS, and Facebook will find other technologies and/or streams of revenue to make up for the overall hostile ad-based environment.

Ad-free Facebook would be cool, but i doubt we will see it happen anytime soon.

Myspace and Facebook can not be compared even remotely – myspace was and still is a hot burning mess in more aspects than I have count of. I am not even sure you can define myspace as a social network, because it is so unconventional and boring in that sense, but each to their own.
Well, in this case the bullet analogy is imperfect, as in financial crimes like these there are more than one side which is violating the law. Probably a drug market would be a better analogy - in this case, all of the buyer, the seller and the market organizer are violating the laws (and there's no actual victim, but that's the topic for a different conversation).

> Interestingly the node operators (the people ACTUALLY EXECUTING TC, even at this very moment) haven't been sanctioned at all

Because the crime is not "executing TC", the crime is (certain) financial transactions. TC code is just the means by which it is executed, and the node operators do not intend to execute a specific financial transaction and do not specifically benefit from it. Just like, for example, if you are going to buy illegal drugs, and you send the payment for it via Venmo and then send the stash location using Gmail, Venmo and Google would not be liable for the drug transaction (even if Venmo charged a transaction fee) because for them it's just common transaction like any other. Same would go for node operators.

> In fact many of the people interacted with TC don't even have possession of the gun

It doesn't matter. What matters is who caused the illegal activity to happen. I mean, if you had a chain that is dedicated to money laundering or another illegal activity, and had no other uses whatsoever - it could actually earn OFAC designation probably by itself, as a whole, and then using it and running the node might become a crime. But I don't think OFAC intends to argue that's the case with Ethereum - it's pretty clearly not true, as most Ethereum users and nodes are perfectly happy to follow the law and never do anything illegal.
A website can be archived using a variety of methods. A single webpage may be easily saved to your hard drive, you can rely on a CMS backup, or you can utilize free internet archive tools like HTTrack and the Wayback Machine. However, using an automatic archiving system that records every update is the ideal approach to record a site.
Low class names are very recognisable in Belgium too. Names ending in "y" in particular. Kenny, Kelly, Lindsay, Jordy, ... I teach and try to go beyond the subconscious biases that come with those names. Not easy.

> It’s hard, if not impossible, to avoid use-after-frees in a non-trivial codebase.

Nice excuse. But just wholly untrue. Most of us have not had any of these faults in years. Zero. I cannot even remember the last time I had one. Or even saw one.

It is just possible that it is particularly harder in the hackneyed dialect of C++ that Google coders are forced to use, but that is doubtful. The fault does seem to be particularly associated with Google, although old Mozilla code seems similarly afflicted.

It is probably connected with fooling with actual naked pointers, and transferring ownership according to more-or-less documented conventions, as opposed to never needing to document it because it is simply never done, and never needs to be done.

The skill level of Google's in-house coders, as for Microsoft's, has seen plenty of boosterism, but the numbers don't lie. Neither place is a habitual producer of code to brag about. Having worked there should not count in your favor in an interview.

What an interesting story. It made me look up how medal of honor started.

Could you clarify a few things? I don't think the story adds up.

Wikipedia has the followin information.
Medal of Honor was made by DreamWorks interactive. [..] Filmmaker Steven Spielberg Spielberg founded DreamWorks Interactive in 1995. [1]
And:
Danger Close Games (formerly DreamWorks Interactive LLC and EA Los Angeles) was an American video game developer based in Los Angeles. [2]

This doesn't sound like 'a small game studio in Oklahoma'.

Angular, famous for betraying their devoted developer community with a complete breaking change when going from 1.x to 2.0. No migration plan whatsoever. It was a totally new framework which happened to share the same name. After a few years they relented and put in some work to help migrate existing users, but by that point most people has already put in the work to migrate towards a framework that wouldn't just leave you behind.
