I'm not talking about lying.

The main thing I was talking about is using something like tiny white color text to reiterate stuff from their post. Or literally say I don't have any experience with X, Y, and Z. It's not lying, a printout doesn't show it, but it can trick the system.

One other example might be using the same inflated wording that job postings use (puffery?). Using fancy jazzed up language sometimes helps, especially if it includes keywords that are reasonably true or a matter of opinion (like the job posting saying it's a great opportunity or cutting edge tech).
Thinking is hard work. Some stop, others never start.
You don't get it. It's a free for all outside the US, where players seek to line their own pockets, and many a foreign government permits or encourages bribery for strategic or personal gain. FCPA is very well intended, laudable, wonderful, but utterly ineffective at scale and counterproductive to US interests absent meaningful enforcement abroad. Its a fool's errand.
The person at Commodore who didn't have a plan for the future of computing was Irving Gould. He didn't use computers and wanted to extract as much value as possible into his own bank account. His henchman who executed it was Mehdi Ali. They cut research and engineering to save money, ensuring anything in the labs would never make it to market in time to be competitive. They fired Thomas Rattigan, the man who got the Amiga 500 and Amiga 2000 projects going. The Amiga 500 sold more units than the other Amiga models combined and kept the company going long enough to release the A3000 and A1200/4000 before it bankrupted. The only person who got what they wanted was Irving Gould. He got to die with a few more millions in his bank account.
I agree, to developers it's hilarious as fuck but looking at it from the perspective of non-technical users, there's gotta be a use-case for this
Oh boy, nice idea, but this looks complicated and time consuming. I recommend to get some good equipment first:

- solder fume extractor (see below)
- extra thin high quality tin
- a desoldering pump AND desoldering wire
- high quality flux
- a TS 100 soldering Iron with KU tip from ali express for 50 bucks
- optional: USB-C Power Adapter for your existing power supply (so you don't have to buy one)
- optional: a soldering mat (normaly blue colored)

and you have a near professional equipment for about $120. Now flash IronOS[1] on your soldering Iron, and it works even better.

Instructions:

- turn on solder fume extractor
- heat iron to 370° Celsius (but be careful depending on your workpiece)
- Tin both ends beforhand
- better slightly more flux to put on (but not for small works)
- if flux has been applied, cleaning up with e.g. toothbrush & isopropyl alcohol after you're done maybe a good idea

However, the most important peace of hardware is a solder fume extractor... I'm surprised that so many youtube "professionals" don't put a hint on this - never play with your health. This can even be done DIY (see youtube tutorials).

High quality flux is also important because of your health. Chinese sellers often don't care about ingredients...

High quality tin is much easier to work with and costs 5 bucks more than low quality tin. It is worth.

Probably completely wrong, but the mnemonic I use for virtual particles, ever since I read Hawking as a wee lad (read: before decades of more literature has been published), was that matter and space are part of a whole, any time there's space (pun not intended), things can get wobbly, and variation has a sane average but the outliers can be weird. Like a rogue wave in the ocean if the wobbles line up they 'look' like something but usually they fade back into nothing before they smash into anything that would observe them.

So virtual particles near an event horizon can interact with matter, but most of the time they just don't.

I have persisted with this mnemonic because nobody has made a headline of "Hawking was wrong!" so far.
Electronics was my pandemic hobby. Even with a temperature controlled solder station, my technique was really hit or miss. Part of that is obviously experience, but the real lightbulb moment for me was good solder.

Once I switched to Kester solder, I had a much better more consistent experience. My hypothesis is that cheaper solder doesn't have the flux as evenly distributed, so you get spans of solder with too little flux and then everything gets worse, then you hit a good patch and it gets better.
How did they improve so massively from the F-4 to the F-15 to the F-22?

There's no problem with preferring not to hang out at work, there is a huge problem with being unwilling to help your employer solve a huge trust issue in the engineering team. Those engineers are 100% toxic to the business goals that pay their salaries and should be let go immediately if they truly would never dream of attending a physical meeting as you describe.

Someone who won't help you avoid fraud might as well be pushing you into it.

This is my most useful bookmark, I use it everywhere (it's even practical on an iphone)

So many sites have a top banner that disappears as you scroll down a page, but as soon as you scroll upwards even a little bit, it pops up again. This is immensely frustrating because I tend to read at the top of a page and scroll down as I'm reading. So if I scroll down slightly too far and then correct myself, the banner will instantly obscure the bit of the text I'm trying to read. It's very satisfying to be able to click on the bookmark and fix the site's crap design!

If you are a software developer, check to make sure you aren't being impersonated on Upwork as well. A couple months back someone (I think I know who, but have no proof) was posing as me, and a suspicious client noticed that the person they were chatting with on video did not look that much like me in real life. Two other PHP/Laravel devs had impersonators on Upwork as well around the same time.

One of these other devs only noticed because the client sent a calendar invite to his real email, instead of the one provided by the impostor.

[edit - I'm reading through the original post, and I see now that this was all done through Upwork as well. Yikes!]
Ok, interesting.

I logged into Amazon drive, and I found a few files from 2012-2016. They consist of a small amount of music and some send-to-Kindle documents. I recall trying Amazon’s music service at some point. Also, sometimes Amazon would offer me a free $1 digit credit when I ordered a physical item, perhaps they also offered some free Amazon Drive storage?

My working theory: I had some kind of free Amazon Drive account (maybe created as an accessory to some other service?). During this Drive shutdown, some kind of botched data migration resulted in that being turned into a paid Photos account.

You think the typical person can tell the effect of whatever value in terajoules would be? At least the typical person would know that dynamite/TNT is an explosive causing damage and that can be extrapolated in one's mind the effect of 1000 tons of TNT would be much larger and so forth.
I'd say semi deliberate. Market dynamics evolved to cut prices extremely low.. so manufacturers don't make enough cash to want to design complex and manage parts etc.

Most printers are horrible.. even the assembly is hell, but if you pay a pro model (6x times the price) you get a modular and easy to open device.
I'd also call that enlightened self-interest, which is a good thing IMO. The world needs more of it.

Folks are not usually doing the opposite because they are intentionally being ineffective. It's a matter of either lack of knowledge or experience on how to do better, or more commonly, inability to manage themselves to a better state in their environment, and an environment that doesn't direct them to being in a better state either. It can be very difficult to do. Some people can't do it even in the most ideal of environments.

So kudos for managing yourself to be in a good place in a harsh environment, or good fortune for being in an environment that directs you in a good direction - or likely a combination of both to various degrees. Either way, sounds like a plus for folks you interact with.

The thing with Venice is that it is a datastore. It does not have any business-specific logic. By itself, the only competitive advantage Venice provides is that it is a datastore that has first-class support for ingesting batch data. We feel this is not something that needs to be kept as a closely-guarded secret. We have already discussed the architecture of Venice in conferences and articles.

As per decreasing the cost of development over the next few years, it is actually quite the opposite. In the near term, the cost of development increases as the system not-only needs to work in your organization, but also work externally - with external technologies.

You are right that reducing the cost of development is a goal, but there are many things that need to be done initially to facilitate that and make the project self-sustaining.
I don't understand why people here seem to think Russia is acting rationally. The fact they continue the invasion when losing is clearly irrational. They threaten mass nuclear bombardment of Europe nearly daily. I don't see any long term rationality in Putin's government in the slightest.

There will be no salvaging the relationship between Germany and Russia for a long time unless Putin gets replaced, even during winter. The absolute worst case scenario (the only one I see where Germany could have gone to Russia for gas) where people die from cold in their homes is never going to happen. Only yesterday BloombergNEF published a report saying Europe was ready for a complete cut off from Russian gas from October 1, and that includes commercial uses too which take up a big chunk and would obviously be redirected should there be any threat of people dying of cold.

> Russia almost certainly sabotaged a LNG terminal in Texas a few months ago

What evidence is there for this?

> It drives the wedge further between EU and Russia

On the contrary, should the EU find that the US was behind the explosions it would cause an absolute rift between the US-EU relationship, and in particular with Germany.
Careful or he'll change his twitter handle to "thought leader" and write an self-help ebook about it.
It's just ridiculous to claim that the US somehow sabotaged the pipeline to help LNG gas' future potential. There is infinite demand for LNG today, hugely unmet demand. It will take a least a decade of increased infrastructure and ships to get even close to meeting current European demand for natural gas. The world is not a James Bond movie. Obviously everyone is doing things to help Ukraine today. We are giving them billions in weapons, plus training, giving them money and intelligence, sending our advisors there. Lots of countries have given up greenhouse gas reductions temporarily hopefully, to handle the current emergency situation. The US govt wishes it had all this conspiratorial influence you imagine. The US has tried to talk the europeans out of depending on russian gas for decades. Of course we want all the customers we can find, but there's no shortage of customers! Geeze. The world loves oil and gas so much you don't need to sabotage alternatives to get more customers.
This story gave me an idea for a different kind of scam in which the scammer acts as a man in the middle between a candidate and an employer. The idea is that the scammer could pretend to be the employer, tempting the candidate to go through the interview process. Whether the employers decides the reject or extend an offer, in both cases the scammer "rejects" the candidate, and takes on the offer to cash out pay checks until they're being fired.

The main technical challenge for a scammer would be to create a trustworthy looking email address so as to not raise the candidate's suspicion. It might not work with big companies but I've seen some companies using 3rd party services to send interviews invitation so it's not completely unlikely that this could work.

We (Nudgelabs, W22) have created a service to help founders and employees to build and maintain sustainable performance.

"NudgeLabs is a service that helps enterprises improve team performance and employee retention. We pair each employee with an online coach and use smart watch data to improve their physical and mental health."

Each employee gets personal guidance and help to work on what would most help them, and, together with their coach as well as through physiometrics from a wearable, figure out how to work towards a more sustainable (and performant) state.

The employer gets periodic insights about what the most common obstacles for sustainable performance (read, recovery, pysical- and mental- wellbeing), actionable advice on how to work with those obstacles and measurements of how the measures impact the wellbeing of the teams.

As an example, one customer used data showing poor sleep quality, often due to stress in the evening to spark a discussion with their team. When seeing the numbers, seeing the cost of the 'free work' in the evenings had on the teams performance, they could more deliberately work on changing their communication culture.

We're right now entering the US market and would love referrals and/or advice on how to approach companies in the US.

I've surveyed many therapists recently and I've found many who are like this. And it's a good thing; if you don't accept insurance then you aren't beholden to their terms and diagnostic criteria and policies which can all be very troublesome and present obstacles to healing.

I am a member of a Christian Health Sharing ministry which is not insurance, so they work with my therapists to share the costs. My mental and medical health costs are shared by other Christians in a community of mutual support, rather than being bankrolled by insurance company premiums. And all I need to do is arrange "self-pay" terms with the provider and have the bills sent to the ministry!

Even though it is not insurance, health sharing ministry members are exempted from the tax on Americans who do not carry health insurance. It's a pretty sweet deal; my monthly shared amount is about half of the premiums for a "catastrophic" Obamacare plan found on the market.
Yup this is a16z's modus operandi the last few years. Basically crypto grifters.

> It removes the degree of freedom to restart supplying gas.

Have you been following the news? The current Russian regime is threatening the use of nuclear weapons, and massacring thousands in war crimes in Ukraine.

The EU has already set up permanent alternatives to Russian gas: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-27/europe-is...

The current Russian regime will never be able to repair relations with the west to the extent that will allow the Nordstream pipelines to resume operations.

The next regime might be able to repair relations, but the current regime doesn't care about that: they'll be dead or imprisoned for life before any new regime can take over.

With the EU shifting to other permanent sources for its energy supply, it's doubtful they'll want to switch back to Russian gas ever. Getting burned once by a rogue regime using gas supply for leverage is quite enough.
This has happened to every new employee at my company within a month of them joining.
I think it's good to try to think clearly about these things, lay out the reasonable possibilities. It's the healthiest coping strategy in a frankly worrying situation. Better to risk saying something stupid, and potentially get corrected, than to just go with the default flow of however media decides to spin this.

Those just starting out tend to think of solder as more direct than using a connector so therefore more secure.

But it’s surprising how poor the reliability can be. Aside from your points, solder can wick up a cable, and then the cable often breaks just at the point where the solder ends since it has no strain relief and may be right in the middle of a bend. This is especially true for adding solder to a crimped connector “for good measure”. It does more harm than good.

That being said it’s convenient many times especially if you don’t have connectors on hand or need to place wires in a specific orientation. Hot glue or better yet, RTV silicone can be used to make strain relief to increase the reliability. Or, when using perf board like in the post, a good technique is to drill a hole for a snug fit of the cable including insulation, then pass the cable through the hole before soldering to an adjacent hole.
There is another option which is being discussed in Norwegian media now - that the Russians have used the pipelines essentially for storage of excess gas (Seeing as the pipelines are basically, combined, a 5M cubic meter pressure vessel)
That would go a long way towards explaining how several ruptures happened in relatively short succession - pipes being loaded up with too much gas (after all, the more gas stored, the more money in the bank for later on!)
Once the first one burst, someone probably re-evaluated that idea, but letting off gas in sufficient quantities fast enough may not have been possible.
Of course, if this was indeed the case, I assume it will very soon be very evident - I can't imagine that the rupture caused by an external force will be indistinguishable from that of it rupturing due to overpressure.
The pressure in these pipes is rather high. Wikipedia [1] writes the nominal for these underwater pipes is 3200 psi. To compare, peak cylinder pressure in a gasoline car at full load is about 1000 psi, large heavy duty diesel engines peak at 2500 psi. A pipe failure at 3200 psi internal pressure might cause an accident similar to an explosion.

Still, you raised a good point. I have no idea how fragile these pipes really are. Apparently, Swedish police is investigating sabotage [2], we might get an answer eventually.
