> Our federal agencies are out of control :(

Probably all police forces in the US are out of control. FBI arrests around 20k people per year, non-federal agencies make almost all of the 10M+ arrests each year and they are similarly immune to most prosecution.
Does anyone know if Planetscale plans on deploying in us-east-2? I'd love to play around with it and compare to Aurora V2 but all of our infrastructure is in us-east-2.
Great question.

If I beat the market by 20% (say SPY generated 0% for the year, very optimistic at this point), and I have allocated $100k to this, I make $20k before taxes.

That's less than minimum wage.

Meanwhile, allocators expect a track record of at least 3-5 years.

Ideally, if I have an asset, I'd like to extract as much revenue as I can.

Hope this makes sense.

I don't understand how this person went from opposing the Patriot Act and the general conduct of the Bush Administration in Afghanistan as being unconstitutional to supporting violently supporting Trump, a man who openly violated the constitution from the day he stepped into office (i.e., violating the Emoluments clause).

This person's behavior is that of a anti-american, anti-constitution fascist and it baffles me that fact is not readily apparent to the people who follow him.

Show HN: A curation of resources telling the story of Bitcoin
Spend the past couple of months creating a large curation of resources from the best Bitcoin educators. The goal was to create a wholesome journey that went beyond just talking about what Bitcoin is and how it works, but also helps newcomers understand why Bitcoin exists and why it can be such an impactful technology for people all over the world. I hope it can help people get a broader understanding of Bitcoin and allow them to make an informed judgement on its value to the world.

p.s. I would love to make this community-driven and the GitBook is open-source. Do contribute if you would like to! It would be much appreciated.

Nothing wrong with it but it probably excludes them from a lot of roles. I’ve been essentially fully remote for years but I still traveled a quarter to a third of the time pre-Covid.

I wouldn’t assume remote meant absolutely zero travel unless that was spelled out.
I had the same thing happen ~9 years ago. Interviewed a candidate who was fantastic, knew his stuff, and had a solid resume. We made him an offer that day and he started the next week.

The guy that showed up (in person!) for the job was definitely not him, and asked rudimentary questions ("how do I access the terminal", "what programming languages should I download", "how do I install git", etc). We gave him the day in case it was just a bad morning or something, but ended up firing him the next day for misrepresenting 'his' experience.

It hasn't been supported in a sense that there's no checkbox in OS settings to enable it for all apps. But any Win32 app that doesn't declare itself as compatible with theming (either via the manifest or via an API call) will still get the old slate grey 3D widgets, and even the old UI font.

(It has to work that way for backwards compatibility reasons, since some very old apps make assumptions about how exactly the widgets are rendered in their static UI layouts.)

Yes, Ukraine is also a Slavic culture. That doesn’t entitle one Slavic culture to dominate the rest of them politically and militarily.

Ukraine and it’s predecessor States were separate from any shared territory with Moscow and most of modern Russia’s western territory for something in the neighborhood of 700 years (at least!). There was even a force in Ukraine that fought against Union with Russia (and State Socialism) prior to Ukraine being subjected to Russian domination and eventually the USSR by Russian military force. Ukraine also declared independence from the USSR in 1991. That isn’t nothing either because Russia also went its own separate way and recognized Ukrainian independence. We also had an agreement since 1994 (the Budapest Memorandum) that Russia would respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity, and that should have been the end of it.

But no, apparently that wasn’t enough and here we are, and for that matter you may as well call me British instead of American because apparently a few centuries of sovereign independence and cultural distinction don’t count.
Absolutely. With firecracker, AWS seems to have solved the multi-tenancy problem that has plagued HPC since its inception.

I've just been waiting for some way to implement that in a sane way for on-prem infrastructure. If not for the root requirement, this would be perfect.

Singularity does get us part of the way there, but it's just another abstraction layer that researchers have to work around. And it's far from perfect.
Well they asked for a TL;DR. The link is three pages of dense text and much of it isn't major changes. Seems reasonable for to ask for a summary of the big changes.
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.
I think that hiring organizations by now should have been immune to this kind of "switcheroo" or "bait and switch" tactics on the supply side of labor.

Same, although I was never asked to impersonate anybody. They just wanted to work using my real name/identity, and would throw some money my way every month. At the time I was annoyed/pissed, but after reading this I respect that they at least had the decency to ask for my permission lol.

Honestly, this is 100% Upwork's fault. Their platform is a race to the bottom, yet they make it very difficult/impossible for people from countries that can actually afford to make a living with those rates to sign up. So I understand why people resort to this behavior, even though I would never want to work with someone who would actually do that. Fuck those people.

Depends on the solder and the component, for wires there is no way to hurt it so you can crank up for efficiency, and for sensitive components you need to be more careful.

It’s actually much harder to make a good solder joint with lead free solder, so be kind to yourself about it. No harm in re-doing a joint.
You truly do not understand the comment if you think it's misguided, specifically you don't understand:

- Difference between laws and enforcement of laws.

- Endemic corruption that cares nothing for long-term losses.

- Shareholder emphasis on short-terms financial results and utter disinterest in long-term results or compliance (unless it impacts short term stock price).

- And, most importantly, global competition and how some foreign countries permit or encourage bribery to advance strategic interests.

You live in the fantasyland I described in my earlier comment.
I wonder if someone more informed could help me understand Telegram's business model, as I don't think I could rightly describe the startup and product in a way that wouldn't sound like I was casting aspersions.

Why would anyone use Telegram over something end to end encrypted, like Signal, Matrix, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, etc.?
Venice is a distributed Key-Value store for serving derived data. Since derived data is batch-computed data, the requirements of the system are to support high-throughput writes.

We don’t know of any other system (at least open-sourced) that solves this problem at our scale. In the conference where we announced Venice, we learnt about some hacks that other organizations have been employing to address this problem in traditional data stores.

The big problem is there are no really good ways to deal with this problem fully.

If you use digital signatures, you have to have a trusted method of distributing the verification keys.

If you have a secure method of distributing keys, you could also just distribute the encrypted file (or its hash) via that secure method.

Digital signatures usually work best when you previously had a secure channel but dont anymore (which is actually fairly common). But once you start doing that, often you start to want doing complex key management (e.g. PKI, tofu etc. Who manages the trust store), and how most appropriately to do that can be application specific (lots of tradeoffs and all options suck in different ways). So i kind of get why the author wants people to use a separate tool for that (even if it is a bit of a cop out).

> Did you find the book a bit deep? I have no intention of writing my own crypto, i just want to use it reliably and correctly.

If the manufacturer makes parts easily available, wouldn't the incentive to steal devices to sell for parts more or less disappear? Same thing with counterfeit parts. The market for stolen/fake parts exists because OEM parts are essentially impossible to acquire legally.

Serialisation is simply another way for Apple to maintain control. You can now repair a device, but only with Apple's blessing and knowledge. The privacy/safety stories they sell are just that.

Nice, there's also ble.sh -- a bash replacement of readline that has zsh/fish-like syntax colors and completion. It is actively developed and the maintainer has implemented 2 features I've requested in a matter of hours.

If you want to check it out: https://github.com/akinomyoga/ble.sh

(Still, I personally believe these features are overrated and don't actually bring in more usability or comfort to the command line experience. For instance, ctrl+r kills the need for suggestions and instead of selecting files scrolling through them with your fingers, you can select them using your eyes?)
It just happened. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
I was adopted as an infant and baptized into the Catholic Church. My parents are active volunteers in the parish and attend regularly. They took me, my sister, and grandmother every Sunday and holy day.

At church I learned how much I am loved and valued by God. The priests and the faithful at Mass demonstrated that love to me in many ways. In Catholic school, these lessons were reinforced and again, demonstrated by religious sisters in habits with their strict rules and adorable Irish brogues, as well as celibate priests and deacons who were faculty and staff in my high school. Every one of these Catholic men and women under vows always treated me with utmost respect and upheld my dignity, always and everywhere.

When the abuse scandal broke I couldn't quite understand it, but I realized later that I'd been subjected to decades of trauma in my childhood, only at home by family members--women. The abuse I suffered was just as real but it was ignored and denied while people went after the priests and sisters who had loved me and shown so much solicitude for me and my classmates.

I'm coming to terms with that now and I'm beginning to explore the root causes of my mental illness--which incidentally became severe when I lived in Silicon Valley and had a high-paying consultant career.

Thankfully I returned to my faith in Christ, rather than rejecting Him, and I receive daily reminders of my dignity, my self-worth, and how much we are loved. And that's worth more than any Silicon Valley career.
I'm a US-based accountant who is currently interviewing for his first job in software and I was approached by someone on on LinkedIn about an opportunity. Seemed fishy, but figured I could risk 15 minutes. The person set up a meeting between me and a Taiwanese Developer for this exact thing. He said he had 7 years experience and had a contract drafted for he and I to become "business partner" where I would take the meetings and he would do the work for a 30/70 split. I told him, morals aside, that I didn't have the credentials to get into the jobs he would want and pointed out numerous obvious issues like in-person coding, etc.. He said he was ready to make a fake LinkedIn and had this whole operation planned out.

Seems to me like there is a whole operation around this business model of exploiting US developer salaries and the morality of a few Americans willing to try and make a dollar for free. Honestly more disappointed in the people accepting shady deals like this than the ones offering them.

That reason makes sense, and there are certainly rules in tournaments against early draws, but I'd never heard of a rule against resigning early. My understanding of Magnus playing one move was that you couldn't resign until the game started, so he just started the game and resigned immediately, but maybe that's mistaken.

I guess it hasn't come up much since the personal loss of losing a game is usually pretty great at a high level. Maybe we'll see such rules after Magnus' resignation.
I worked at a smaller 130 or so person consultancy. I have a masters in CS, so my resume was always included in the resume pack sent to people. It was listed as "representative". A woman with a PHD (Physics) and a guy with a PHD in Systems Science Math (ORR) were the other usual suspects. This was in around 2005. Benefit for me was that sales was always updating my resume every time they went out to sell so it was in great shape and I did no work on it.

But who worked on the contract was just based on who was free at the time based on who was needed on other contracts. It was very likely I was tied up on another contract as a lead most of the time. Acutally one anti-pattern I pushed against was that we took the person on the bench and had them write the proposals... I pointed out this both landed us with bad implementations but also was likely less efficient than having the leads do the writing.

Anyway, this is very common, you can't hire people to fill seats until you have a contract in hand or you're taking someone else's risk. It's also likely that less effective employees are more often free to go sit on a new project. At the start of the project those extra folks are super numerary anyway while the leads design with the customer. Same at the end of the project where you're just cleaning up core deliverables.
While remote work has made it easier and more prevalent, "hiring fraud" has been around forever. Especially in larger corporations, where interviewing was done by loosely associated teams, and the faces of all the in-person candidates blended together or were rapidly forgotten. I personally witnessed this 3 or 4 times back in the 90's, while an employee of a Fortune 5 company.

Contracting agencies were the worst with the bait-and-switch game though, even prior to H-1Bs.
Russia wants NATO to stop giving Ukraine weapons, but they also really want to sell their gas to Europe. And they already controlled the spigot of the Nord Stream pipeline, so they wouldn't have to blow up anything to stop deliveries. Yes, the great powers have done some really stupid things, especially Russia, so it's dangerous to assume rationality, but they all like keeping their options open to a fault. "We're committing to belligerence, we won't even keep the option of letting you give up and bribe us" - does that sound like Putin's Russia?

The NATO as a whole likewise wouldn't blow up these pipelines, for pretty much the same reason. They love options too. But there's a lot of internal dissent in NATO, and it's quite possible that one member (read: the US) wanted to take away an option from another member (read: Germany), namely that option to cave in during the winter and give concessions to Russia in exchange for critically needed gas.

If they did, I'm quite sure Sweden was in on it. Even as a non-NATO member, they have been more deferential to US covert interests than most actual member states, including on torture rendition flights and the persecution of Assange. And it's sadly a bipartisan thing there.

Ukraine themselves would be another option. They certainly have an incentive to want to close off Western Europe's option to give concessions to Putin in exchange for gas, far more than any NATO member. But I don't think they have the capability to take out pipelines in the Baltic, especially not without US consent. But no, you can't blow up pipelines with like that cyberwarfare, and it's not going to fail three places at once.

I want to wait see who Russia places blame on, who the US places blame on, and most of all the actual evidence they can present. Maybe Russia will present non-laughable evidence for once, since I believe - again, for once! that they're actually not responsible this time.

But I wouldn't count on it. Actually I would be shocked.
I've simply asked candidates 'tell me about a time you had to make a moral judgement'. I'm kind of surprised that it's not a more common question, but of course that makes it work - truly immoral people would have a made-up anecdote if it came up regularly.
Lessons from My Failed Startup – Every
Let's say that this happens with some regularity: an imposter is hired to take an interview on behalf of a third party who is obviously not the same person. Let's say that, some of the time, this ploy is successful and the third party is hired for the position. Don't they just get fired immediately? Is this entire scam just about getting a couple day's salary? Or do some employers just shrug and go with the flow?
FWIW, Martin Huesmann appears to be German (<https://www.unixmen.com/meet-martin-husemann-and-netbsd-inte...>). That would suggest both that he's a non-native English speaker and uses a language in which all nouns, not just proper ones, are typically capitalised.

That said, yes, some sloppy editing as well. Not that I'd ever do schu a thing....
There do seem to be a lot of angry individuals on there. It's usually on questions that if you have expert knowledge in an area you can answer without missing a beat but would require a beginner a lot of time to find out and it's not just "a google search away".

Owned an '86 Subaru BRAT GL (EA81, not EA82). You could take the whole damned car apart with a 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, and 17mm socket. The 4 speed 4wd (not awd, that came later) transmission, however, is a pain in the ass to get apart. I had to do that to replace the input shaft seal. It was a great car.

Nowadays, the running joke in the Subaru community is that you change the spark plugs any time you have the engine out of the car whether they're due or not. My wife has a 2018 Impreza. It's somewhat more cramped in the engine compartment. I dread the day I have to work on it.
