It's a hoot that the weather has been made to be so dramatic with terms like "polar vortex" and named storms for what used to be thought of as fairly pedestrian occurrences.
I must be really unhinged. Wonder if this person is married?
Yeah, that fits the profile of a scammer pretty close to 100%.

I believe that you are not a scammer, but since Apple doesn't know you bought all of these cards yourself, you exactly fit the profile of someone who scams people and has them send him Apple gift cards over a long period of time, and then he redeems them all at once, thousands worth. Your behavior should have tripped automated systems, and any humans looking at it should have been very suspicious as well.

Like I said, I believe you're not a scammer, although Apple's folks have more experience in dealing with scammers than I do, and they clearly think you are. My belief is based mostly on the fact that you say you have receipts.

The real shame here is that Apple provides no clear appeals process for you to show your receipts and prove you bought these cards yourself.
As an observer, I never got the sense that there were strong commitments being made on timelines until A) beacon chain was live (running in parallel), and B) testnets started getting merged successfully.

The moment of Genesis for the beacon-chain started a clock that Nvidia should have been paying attention to, and I think would have given them plenty of time to foresee the present situation.

Great, then it means it's time to actually build a profitable business, or at least own up to their conflict of interest instead of blaming everyone for their inability to run a business without relying on handouts.
My only complaint about McMaster is that their search integration is a bit wonky:

- However they've managed SEO, searches for their part numbers on normal search engines never have the part page as a result

- Searching for part numbers on their page only takes you to the series page for that part number, rather than the "Product Details" page for the part.
Okay. I don’t know what prompted that question, though.
The risk groups make up quite a large population in the US. From a public health perspective, it makes little sense to ask people for their medical history and determine risk vs. just trying to vaccinate as much as possible, considering how cheap the vaccine is.
A while back, I had to get scaling numbers for something that did multipage forms where individual pages might refresh themselves from the server depending on what dropdowns you picked, might pull option lists if certain questions were visible, etc.

I ended up using Selenium on a giant pile of cloud VMs, because the $$$$/run looked cheaper than my wild guess about the dev time for a more efficient tool.

Do you know of any guides or general overviews for using JMeter (Or Gatling or such) for this, or maybe for determining the appropriate degree to categorize and randomize sessions (some of those option listings were pretty expensive, and it wouldn't have been good to just skip them)? From my brief look at the time, it seemed that it'd be a major pain and I'd have to figure out any script logic on my own without a whole lot in the way of pre-written guides.
Any article about Amazon is guaranteed to inspire a grave post like this from a former employee. And as a former employee, I agree with the sentiment in nearly all of them.
My understanding is that Epstein's associations were common knowledge for quite some time, and that recipients of his largesse either turned a blind eye (with awareness) or deliberately avoided finding out just what his activities were.

Joi Ito of M.I.T.'s Media Lab did apologise in 2019, three years ago:

<https://www.media.mit.edu/posts/my-apology-regarding-jeffrey...>

I'm not fully aware of timelines and awareness, though it's safe to say that HN is now fully aware of Epstein's activities and crimes, and his role in the tech world as a so-called philanthropist.

Another question of which I'm not clear is the extent to which Epstein's crimes were facilitated by or occurred through such organisations. I've recollections of mentions of parties and such, and of Epstein's reputation for having attractive women present (I've no links at the moment).

Epstein was sentenced to prison in 2008, served until 2011, for "procuring for prostitution a girl below age 18". This should have been well known by the early 2010s. And stands in distinct contrast with the earlier non-prosecution agreement (2006-8). Sexual assault allegations date to the 1970s (Jane Does v. Epstein). <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein#Legal_proceedi...> <https://www.businessinsider.com/9-accusers-bring-new-lawsuit...>
I think something I should clarify here, and perhaps in the article itself, for HN readers is that this is specifically with respect to contract to hire, non-private business 1099-NEC or W2. The latter of which is already specifically for employees.

If you are a single-member LLC or an agency, your rates are business rates.

For example, my agency charges $175/hr per resource.[1]

That is to say, contract to hire employment is not contracting a software development firm.

The parent comment to your's has been my understanding (using FLOSS since last year's of last millennium), why do you find it not to be true that there was an implied social/moral contract with free-libre software?
I use GPL (and recently have started to move to AGPL).

So companies will generally keep away from my stuff, but people doing open source will happily use it.

I've had several people complain about this and ask me to use MIT. I put in my code of conduct that asking that is forbidden :D
This really seems like touchy-feely, granola-mom type thinking, sprayed with a thin veneer of empiricism to sway the skeptics who don't look too closely.

Your two sources, as well as the Canadian heart and stroke center (the top google result for ultra processed food), all define ultra processed food differently, which lead to different outcomes to a question as simple as "is ice cream ultra-processed?".

(the answers: the Brazilian paper says it depends largely on ingredients and additives, Kevin Hall says milk itself is ultra-processed, the Canadian heart and stroke center classifies milk as a non processed food but almost certainly considers ice cream ultra processed because it defines ultra processed in terms of mechanical processes)

With no remotely similar operating definition, and the fact that a hundred other different consumption habits change across populations in the process of industrialization at the same time as some thus undefined sub-element of diet, this seems like a just-so story given legs by the fact that it gives an easy solution to an obvious problem.
Hmm I think you're right wrt commodity markets and lack of incentives for innovation. What I meant was that if the specs for the "web stack" would set any kind of reasonable target for implementation, then we could've seen new browser projects, especially F/OSS user and privacy-focussed ones; but they don't, making them mere instruments for pulling up the ladder. Despite of this, folks cheer at eg bits of inessential yet complex CSS additions and bloating JavaScript the language with inessential features.
Does this matter any more than the fact the underlying representation within sin is e.g. an 80 bit number no programming language can give you? `Angle` is a bad name for this example because a newtype should be named after the unit rather than what it models, but once you've newtyped it, what matters is that you call sin with the right one, not the actual representation.
I'd agree that the first two sections heavily feature motifs and scenes that read as very horror to a modern audience, however they were original intended. But they're mashed together with roots-in-very-ancient-literature (e.g. Gilgamesh) nigh-superhero stuff that takes the edge off, ultimately, in a kind of jarring way that I expect is off-putting to a lot of modern readers.

The third section (the dragon) reads so differently to me that I can't imagine it was assembled around the same time, by the same person. Maybe one of those two things, but not both. And I don't get any horror out of it whatsoever, personally. A kind of apocalyptic-melancholy, maybe, but not horror.
thanks though for reaching out
So if your contracting rate is 2x your FTE salary, and the company has offered you to be converted full time at 1x FTE salary, should you do it? It is true that the employer will now pay for things on your behalf like health insurance, paid time off, taxes, etc., but I find it unlikely that all of those things add up to the wages you are giving up.
The analogy can be taken too far; if you can recognise a note by sight on sheet music, you’ve learnt everything there is to directly memorise in paying an instrument. All the rest is practice. This is not the case in language learning. A language which is not closely related to one you already know has tens of thousands of words, the meanings of which can’t be deduced from other things. There is no use to doing listening practice if you do not understand almost all the words being used; you will be stuck looking them up one at a time in a dictionary. It is also very difficult to correctly pick out words you don’t know in a language you are new to.
That's not bait and switch, that's just not the license terms.

> even though they were only distributing the viewer internally.

That is explicitly allowed. You just have to live with consequences of it being legal for any of the users to take and "bring back to the light".

It is either that this company didn't wanted their inside people to do that, or that Linden lied to them about what GPL implies
I see! It appears Ubuntu 22 has both Pulseaudio and Pipewire installed, and Pulseaudio is set to the default, with Pipewire just not enabled. Will poke around at it. Maybe they're making some incremental transition still.

Thanks for the tip

It seems that you've never realized that most of the stuff being gathered is not stored on any device that you have control over. Very weird to encounter on HN, but I guess you're part of today's 10,000...

Maybe if you were running an SMTP server from your home would the 4th amendment apply in the way that you think it does. Most people have trusted another entity to house their "digital papers", so your beef should be with the organizations who hand it over to Feds without a fight.

At least understand the nature of the problem before commenting so vehemently on it.
Right, but with those goals in mind a lot people say "so viridis it is!" and leave it at that; but there's nothing like viridis on that page, which is intriguing.

Respecting privacy.

I urge non-technical people to switch to Firefox constantly. People understand, often cannot be bothered.

Times change and more and more people are realising that in the twenty first century we need to protect ourselves not so much government oppression as corporate dominance and surveillance. So they bother

Part of that is using Firefox. In my experience, people get it. Be they computer programmers or plumbers.

Second recommendation for robin_hood's map. I've used it as well, excellent performance compared to the default implementation in GCC.
If it's a company or other body at that point you're trying to figure out what will let them settle their books - perhaps prison time for you will do so.

But other groups I'd be a bit more worried about them being willing to go to extra-judicial means to if not get the money back, at least get "revenge".
Your second item is so unbelievably on point, it hurts. The failure of so many to look at even a cursory sense of history would know that this industry has always had volatility baked in, and that affects not only "disruption" of business verticals, but disruption of vesting cycles :)

One comment on the linked page asks, where are taxes paid included?

I also wonder how this varies for adults who live alone vs. with someone such as a spouse, I would expect average individual cost of housing to be quite different. And what about those who are supporting children or other dependents? How is that shown?accounted for? Is it simply rolled in as an average number of dependents per adult?
There are meaningful benefits from the existing whistleblower laws; they're just focused on a very different set of problems and concerns.

The existing whistleblower laws handle cases where a small number of people are, in fact, not following the official rules. This might be sexual harassment or embezzlement or something, or someone otherwise using government resources for personal aggrandizement. They don't really handle cases where a government entity has deliberately chosen (more or less following proper procedures or more or with the acquiescence or support of its leadership) to do something that some people think is bad. What someone might (perhaps dismissively) term a political objection to the entity's decisions or actions.
There is also the contract-to-hire full time compensation penalty. I can't prove this with data, but I know from friends, former colleagues and old bosses that contractors transitioning to full time get lowballed/bottom of band offers most of the time. The only way around this is to bring other active offers to the table.
OpenZiti has some similarities to Wireguard/Tailscale... lets give s description of the former as thats then opensource vs opensource.

Wireguard is built to be a better VPN and really cares about "connecting machines" and not so much about connecting "services". OpenZiti cares about connecting "services" with zero trust networking concepts, including least privilege, micro-segmentation, and attribute-based access (though you can also set up a whole CIDR if you want). OpenZiti also uses the embedded identity to build outbound only connections into a mesh (think Cloudflare tunnels), so we can close all inbound ports. This can all be surmised as WG being 'default-open' whereas ZT is 'default-closed'.

Wireguard uses UDP and hole punching to build P2P connections, while OpenZiti uses TCP and a mesh overlay (with the outbound only at source and destination). This is how Tailscale implements Wireguard to ensure it works easily in all situations. It also allows you to control the internet routing and provide higher redundancy, resiliency and control for routing traffic according to policy (e.g., low latency or geo-restrictions).

Due to OpenZiti's uses of identity in the endpoints and fabric for routing, you also get a private DNS and unique naming (e.g., send from IoT endpoint service to IoT server rather than from 192.xxx.xxx.xx to 100.xxx.xxx.xx). This also means we do not need to use floating or static IPs, easily handle overlapping, no need for port forwarding.

Finally, where it really differentiates is that with OpenZiti you canstart with "network-based zero trust" (installing a router in private IP space) and progress to "host-based zero trust" (using an agent/tunneller), it also have a suite of SDKs to embed in apps themselves for "application-based zero trust". This allows it to run clientless, in serverless, in confidential computing and more.

P.S., Wireguard get a lot of well-deserved love! OpenZiti uses the Windows TUN (WinTun) that the Wireguard project made as (at least) part of our Windows tunneler. Thanks, Wireguard!
Just to be clear: “to be” refers to the English language (no “to be” operator or this and that in programming). “Overloaded” means that it can mean a whole bunch of different things. This should be obvious from context.

Confidence that persists in spite of rejection.

> Presumably my code has been less than optimally efficient or something

Yep, it was either less efficient than it could be, or more clunky, or incorrect.

I remember back when boost was still a thing, everyone using boost::shared_ptr indiscriminately. Refcounting has a very nontrivial cost to it if implemented correctly.

Things like rvalue refs and std::move allow to properly implement the concept of "ownership transfer", obviating the need for costly ref counting in the majority of cases.
What criteria make up perfect? You need to be a bit more specific. No matter what, though, you'll find that peoples' definition perfect will be different based on their needs.

This entire conversation is confusing because people are mixing up authenticated encryption with key management/signing, but those are separate things.

Its possible that i am mistaken (not a crypto expert), but usually the term "authenticated encryption" means the ciphertext is verified to not have been modified by an attacker (to for example do a padding oracle attack, although that wouldnt apply to a stream cipher of course). It has nothing to do with authenticating the source of the message or verifying the entire message has not been replaced by a different valid ciphertext - that's a totally different thing.

So Age provides authenticated encryption. It does not prevent an attacker who knows the public key from substituting in a different ciphertext, because that has nothing to do with authenticated encryption.
Which libraries is AMD dropping RDNA support in?

That seems very inadvised. Nvidia's libraries being usable by a broad range of developers on a wide range of hardware is critical to their wide adoption. AMD cannot expect to have real adoption if only their fancy enterprise grade unobtanium cards support ML systems. AMD needs a wide & engaged community trying to yse their stuff to figure out what software/drivers they simply have to build.
Seems like it would be but in my (limited) experience watching NFL games the announcers just call them iPads anyway. Then they or their co commentator corrects themselves with the sponsor friendly Brand Name.
The imputation of drama to "polar vortex" is entirely in how you see it.

"Polar" refers to the poles, in this case the North geometric pole, and "vortex" is an exact description of what wind is doing in a polar vortex.

Storms have been given names since the early 19th century, so your "used to be" here is well beyond the threshold of living memory.
No one is going to be able to seriously use and support AVX512 (or be sufficiently motivated to implement support for it in their libraries and especially applications) until Intel finally gets its act together with regards to AVX512 and decides it actually wants to commit to it being a thing.

The AVX2 rollout was (comparatively) flawless. The gains AVX512 brings over AVX2 are, for most people w/ specialty libs excluded, not worth dealing with the terrible CPU support. And Intel just keeps making the situation worse, taking one step forward and two back.
This might work early in your career, but should plateau very quickly.

Junior to mid level in 2 years is easy.

Mid level to senior in 2 years is doable. It would definitely be considered fast in most big tech.

Senior to Staff in 2 years is not gonna happen. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's probably extremely rare.

I agree with the concept of optimizing for growth and learning in your current role, but people should also be aware that getting to the next level is aprox. exponentially harder the further up you go.

> People just barely tolerate games which require an internet connection to run for DRM

While some people are generally very loud about this on Reddit and gaming forums, the average person doesn't seem to care. Even people who complain loudly about it online will quietly buy it if it's the only choice. It reminds me of that old screenshot of a Steam group dedicated to "Boycotting Modern Warfare 2" in 2009. The day after release? Most of the group was playing it.
