> Once the Tether scam unravels

We've all been saying this for literally years now and yet here we are. The crypto market doesn't make any sense at all.

It has to crash sometime, right? I mean it is obvious to anybody paying any attention that tether is a scam. How has it gone on this long? What will finally do it in?
I'm not sure exactly what he's talking about here. Is he talking about people in other countries not getting USA pay, or different locations getting different pay?

At least in the US, things don't always look so unbalanced. Moving to <big west coast city>, New York, or Chicago has baggage attached to it. There's other costs an annoyances.

I would need a massive salary to consider even trying it. So how would it be unfair to expect more money depending on location? It really depends on the specifics, and seems to work out either way, depending on the situation.

Lots of people are leaving these high payed areas simply because they don't think it's worth it. Many might be retiring, but you're also seeing them take less glamorous jobs in small cities... I know many of them have already made their money, but it really looks like something else to me.

Or is this article backlash from salty SV employees that are now whining that they can't keep their SV salary, while they pay $300k cash for a $50k shack in Kentucky? Honestly, I would be a little pissed about that, since you didn't see them complaining about the decade they were able to make a half million dollars to move some GUI buttons around and attend meetings. Now they see dollar signs and are mad that they're being asked to make similar dollars to the rubes.

Anyway, what a rant, sorry, especially if that's not what the authors meant. If he's talking about US vs. eg. Mexico, India, China, ect. that's a really interesting question, though it technically has similar issues (eg. I know it's pride, but my Indian coworkers insist their quality of life is the same there, despite lower pay)

I doubt most rich people (ie. everyone in the US/EU) are really willing to deal with the realities of competing on a wider scale, with "fairer" pay.
how do you know they're not doing that behind the scenes? anytime this issue comes up, a framework rep doesn't say anything.

you could gamble that they are and get the 11th gen intel kit, then upgrade once (if) an amd kit is released. or wait and see.
Is it an inequality though? Everyone's seen the baseball game equality comic with the different high people. Equality is when everyone can see the ballgame, not that everyone gets the same height boxes to stand on. I'd argue that this is the same here. I'm the "taller" person because my cost of living is lower, if you give me the same size box (income) as the person in the HCOL area, they might not be equal to me, because I start with an advantage.
Segregation isn't outlawed.

Failure to plan on your part does not make an emergency on my part. I have been part of too many projects where the people in control of the planning didn’t do their job or didn’t do it on time and they just expected those after them in the process to work hard to make up for their lack of work.
No I don't, which is kind of my point. I was responding to a comment that was suggesting those in favour of equality would celebrate this. I was responding that in reality this hurts a lot of people and so no one is celebrating.
C's register keyword is a storage specifier, it actually does do something, what it does is announce "This might not have an address" (your CPU registers don't have addresses) and so you can't make a pointer to it with the unary & address operator.

Your C compiler might conclude - even if it doesn't decide to put the variable in a register - that since the variable notionally doesn't have an address some optimisations are available which it can't otherwise be sure are safe.
Are you also against Truth Social setting it’s own policies?

Should a Christian website be forced to allow comments that go against its ideals?

Would you want the government telling you what to publish on your own website?

If the government wants a platform that allows anyone to post anything, it’s free to create its own platform.
Personally, I chose ChromeOS as the bare-metal OS for my laptop because I think it's the best of both worlds:

For web browser-based stuff, I have a constantly-updated state of the art browser with full vendor-backed hardware support for everything around graphics, sound, USB, Bluetooth, etc, anything else I might want, plus probably the best sandboxing you can get as far as protecting the core system from any malicious web exploits. It also works rather well in tablet mode with convertible devices. IME, getting all of this on bare-metal Linux and having it stay working for years is very hit-or-miss.

For linuxy CLI stuff, I have a built-in Linux container with a nice terminal. Everything I've wanted to do as far as CLI stuff works great, including Vim + Tmux, developing and compiling in any language, systemd services, docker and k8s CLI support. I've opened at least a dozen or so PRs on various open-source projects and maintained server clusters working entirely on a Chromebook. All the driver and display stuff is taken care of by ChromeOS so I never have to mess with config for it.
Really good point. It seems like some people do get stuck with a really bad variation and are justifiably vocal about how bad it is.

Perhaps one day everyone could compare and see if it really is just preference or that some people have something gone terribly wrong.

I will admit, I usually see more tech-oriented people complain about it.
Most production systems have been transitioning to Rust in the past few years, so that’s the safest bet in my opinion.

The story I’m seeing at most companies is that they have a few old guys taking care of maintaining their legacy C/C++ codebase, and there’s a diverse bunch of young folks shipping new components in Rust.
I know those arguments and reject them. Hopefully you will too eventually.

Feeling wronged gives Russia no right to trample on the sovereignty of 40 million Ukrainians - who wanted to join NATO of their own free will.

Anyway.

You need to be aware of some lifecycle aspects when dealing with first versus third-party clients. If you don't have experience with third-party being a key component of your business model then this is hard to grasp.

When you list these mobile clients, I immediately assume that these are your first-party clients. These are clients which you deploy to various stores and manage completely. There is some chance that you are supporting old versions, but you are mostly in control and can drive the support lifecycle by deprecating old clients when analytics suggest it is OK.

When you have clients that are critical to your business (some weird set-top box) that you can't just deprecate, then it starts to become viable to do something like this. Your main system can evolve and grow leaving only a single system to maintain for these special clients. Whether it's worthwhile is going to be completely dependent on the value of the client. It's massive improvement in the quality of life for your backend team and those responsible for supporting the client.
Arguments against location-based pay generally assume that all employees would be given raises to match the company's most expensive market.

Realistically, most companies aren't interested in paying everyone more just because some of their employees are in an expensive location. I would expect any location-independent compensation programs to move toward median compensation across locations, not upward toward maximum compensation in the most expensive location.

Existing companies like the FAANGs don't have a choice because they have a lot of customers in those locations, but younger companies adopting location-independent pay would absolutely be targeting median compensation rather than paying everyone top of market in Silicon Valley just because that's the maximum possible compensation they might need to pay someone.
I see what you mean, but my point was around the cost saving aspect of it. Maybe everyone considers that aspect, but I figured it’s worth mentioning since once you go down the formula path, it’s hard/impossible to go back.
No it doesn’t. It seems Putin wants to conquer Ukraine and more importantly for the west to get over it. They certainly won’t if he nukes Kiev or does some such stupid shit.

The new Cold War will be sealed and it will be game over for his regime. He wants western apathy and social disorder to continue. And he wants a disaster zone in Ukraine as his personal entry point into Europe proper.
They would be paying CP issuers with USD out of a bank account (the same USD used for creation/redemption of USDT).
Well it’s hackernews not medicalnews.
Thanks for your response, it's very helpful. I'll check out the HP Elite Dragonfly too.

As the sibling commenter mentioned, though, Google did just shut down their Pixelbook division, which is what I was referring to. And as a corollary, if you can forward this to anyone that matters, Google's product marketing is the absolute worst. And I say this as a big fan of Google's developer-focused products. Case in point, I'm a giant Pixelbook fan. If Google is shutting down Pixelbook development, why can't Google just put something on their store to point to alternatives, like you have?

As another example, I am heavily invested in GCP, and I'm a big Firebase fan. Yet I can hardly think of any other company that sells to enterprises that is so loath to even show a hint of what's on their roadmap. I get it, priorities can change, and you don't want to put something out there that is (incorrectly) taken as a promise. But tons of other companies have to deal with this problem, and with Google it's almost impossible to get any status about important bug fixes or feature requests.
Gambling isn't a form of speech. If they were also banning people from playing no-stakes social poker or even talking about gambling, you might have a point.

Ultimately, I'd be far, far more concerned about a race to the bottom. That race to the bottom is possible regardless of location-based pay or not. Once people discover how to navigate remote work across big timezone differences en masse and mentality shifts, things will truly get interesting.

It's mind boggling how long this has gone on, really. I've been following the crypto scam for like 10 years now and it just keeps going.

My main point is that if the recommendations are improved by giving YouTube _less_ information to work with, that's a solid sign that the recommendation system is borked.
I more meant: what is the network transport like - does it offer tcp-like guarantees and re-submissions, along with poor suitability for real-time streams? How does it cross firewalls (that increasingly filter by protocol)?
+1 What I find really useful about these books is they allow self-teaching. (in my case a 13 year old kid) The books follow a methodology of presenting problems and having you try to solve them before walking you through the explanations. The chapters build up to "challenge problems" which are carefully crafted to require you to apply what you've learned from the current and earlier chapters. Most of the challenge problems are lifted from math competition problems (with citations), but their use is very well curated.

We are using the printed books, but there are online resources available.
Didn’t google make a version of ChromeOS that can be installed on a lot of regular laptops? Seems to me it’s possible there may not be any hardware difference between the Chromebook edition and other Framework laptops.

A few weeks back I had occasion to read some SCTE (cable TV + descendents) signalling specifications, and I was tickled because they used enough UML that I had to actually go look up what the different arrows meant.

Other than that, don't think I've seen formal UML, just informal diagrams with boxes, arrows, and icons.
The mechanism of a pump-and-dump like this is to spend your company's assets to boost the price of your personal (crypto) holdings. The exchange and the coin don't profit from the scheme; they lose money, while the owners of Tether/Bitfinex win big with their personal assets.

It's a way of cashing out company funds.
A close friend of mine does banking in Nassau, Bahamas and works with Tether, and according to him Tether is where they sling all of their lowest rated junk chinese bonds.

He has been telling me to go nowhere near it for the last 5 years and I have not.
“Almost one-third — 31%— of respondents reduced contributions to their 401(k) plans. Meanwhile, 26% said they’ve cut back on paying down debts, 25% reduced their long-term savings, 24% scaled back emergency and short-term savings, 19% whittled down contributions to health savings accounts and 13% reduced contributions to a college savings fund.”

If I tell you that I am a Nigerian Prince and that I definitely have a billion dollars somewhere and that you need to just send me a small sum of 10k to release that money, would you not tell people that it's an obvious scam?

I mean you don't know for a fact that I am NOT a prince right? And if you ask me for any documents I'll just say they got lost or it's too difficult to produce them.

In this case the absence of information is the proof that you need to say that tether is a scam.
I just tested it myself. Its fast enough on colab, couple of seconds but not sure if its fast enough to transcribe realtime audio yet.
One reason is all the binary artifacts are peak-optimized for the platform and this yields significant, often 10-20% lower CPU usage than plain vanilla binaries offered by all other Linux distributions. This includes the kernel, which in ChromeOS is built with LLVM with profile-guided optimization. Faster software translates directly to longer battery life. Every other distribution is years behind Google in terms of tooling.

Yes, I use it much more like a sticky note for work I'm actively engaging in. I create new pages throughout the day. Sometimes I feel bad like I'm going to forget about the previous tasks, but I rarely actually go back to look at them. I put important things that I can't forget elsewhere.
Doesn't seem to apply to Stable Diffusion and Dall-E because there is substantial human work involved - picking and evolving the prompt and selecting the best result. Sometimes it's also collaging and masking. Maybe it could apply to making "variations" where you just have to click a button. But you still have to choose the subject image on which you do variations, and to pick the best one or scrap the lot.

It's completely different from a monkey stealing your camera and shooting some pictures. AI art depends on the intent and taste of the human, except when it's an almost copy of a training set example, but that can be filtered by software.

And if we look up from art, there are other fields that stand to benefit from AI image generation. For example illustration for educational contents, or ideas for products - shoes, clothes, cars, interior designs, maybe even cosplay costume design, it could be used to quickly create training data on a very specific topic, or to create de-biasing datasets (super balanced and diverse by design). A specially tuned version could function as a form of mood-inducing therapy - or Rorschach test. As a generative model of images it is of interest for AI research. So copyright gotta be weighed against all the other interests.
> About a third of Whisper’s audio dataset is non-English, and it is alternately given the task of transcribing in the original language or translating to English. We find this approach is particularly effective at learning speech to text translation and outperforms the supervised SOTA on CoVoST2 to English translation zero-shot.

That's intriguing. You can just set the model to transcribe everything into English, no matter which language the speaker is using, and it just works. Given that many people are much better at understanding English than at speaking it, this might make voice interfaces much more accessible without much work.

What is so challenging about the business that they're going into other than the fact that they will be under constant attack by censors and monopolists? They seem to be safe as houses otherwise, considering that they're requiring TINs and EINs from business customers, and W-9s and SSNs from individuals.
...I'm trying to explain how that definition is kind of useless, as literally every rule is censorship if we use it.

The text box here being limited to 5000 chars (or w/e size it actually is) would be censorship under that definition. The fact that I can't also upload audio to HN would be censorship. Does acoustic physics censor me because I can't yell loudly enough for everyone to hear my views on how to cook pasta correctly (salt, the secret is salt)?

I just don't find those things to be in the same category as a government arresting protestors, for example, and I don't find Twitch banning otherwise illegal gambling content to be in that same category, either.

Are the readable replicas supposed to be long-lived (as in, I don't know, hours)? Or does consul happily converge even with ephemeral instances coming and going every few minutes (thinking of something like Cloud Run and the like, not sure if Fly works the same way)? And do they need to make a copy of the entire DB when they "boot" or do they stream pages in on demand?

Annoying part of this is really if there is need of USA regulation. As European I should be allowed freely to view content generated in Europe which happens on platform regulated in EU. If Twitch want to limit it they can just ban USA based viewers.

LiteFS makes it so that you can have a SQLite database that is transparently replicated to a cluster of machines. The use case is if you have your app running on a server running in Chicago, then users in Europe will have 100ms latency to your server and users in Asia will have a 250ms latency. That's on top of the time it takes for your server to process the request. Many people target sub-100ms latency to make their applications feel snappy but that's impossible if users are waiting on their request to be sent halfway around the world.

Traditionally, it's complicated to replicate your database to different regions of the world using something like Postgres. However, LiteFS aims to make it as simple as just spinning up more server instances around the world. It connects them automatically and ships changes in a transactionally safe way between them.
A general trend is moving to the cloud where VMware isn't generally being used directly. But it depends how companies do that - if they take the lazy route and pay for VMware cloud licensing, then never move off it, maybe VMware stand to gain in the short term.
