I assume that you need a tech person and a lawyer to go after crypto. The lawyer lacks knowledge (and the ability to give expert testimony) of exactly how the coins work and therefore how the law can be applied. I could be wrong, I'm just extrapolating from my experience that normally the limit of tech talent and lawyers is whichever came second.
> There are apocryphal stories of Google tar-pitting users with it, but I have never seen it in action.

That used to be the case when using Tor; I remember having to rotate exit nodes to get recaptcha to load at all.

These days the situation is a lot better, I've been able to pass Google captchas through Tor every time I tried this month. Seems like they even fixed audio-based captchas, so you no longer get instant-blocked if you try to use them.

Of course, all this could be reverted tomorrow, and there would be absolutely nothing we could do about it...
You can rent space in your local datacenters. If you're a business, you probably rent by the rack (and can more or less do what you want in the rack subject to power limits and datacenter policies). If you're an individual, most datacenters have some shared rack space (with controlled access, for some value of controlled - usually a datacenter employee has to be in there with you) that's rented by the U.

I put a box of mine in a local datacenter, to their... endless confusion (not only do they not deal with random individuals that often, I actually read contracts so asked questions about why I had to prove my worker's comp payments and some other weird stuff that they removed). Monthly rental payments are about what I was paying in a range of cloud spend, but the system is far more capable, and I can do a lot more on it.
>That is your own conlcusion. Historically armies were "staffed" by nobles

If you as a man weren't willing to fight, be it the army or your home, good luck attracting a mate for most of history. Similar dynamics exist today.

>why is sex work different?

Already answered. History and cultural virtues.

>Who is we?

The far majority of your male and female ancestors, for one. The majority of cultures globally, for two.

>I don't understand what you are trying to say here.

The opposite of purity is lust and promiscuity. The opposite of being assertive is passivity and avoiding conflict. The opposite of wanting to fight is running away or freezing up.

The vast majority of women aren't attracted to weak men who won't stand and fight for their hypothetical children.

The vast majority of men aren't attracted to promiscuous women looking for the next meal ticket.

No amount of reasoning changes dynamics that have existed for millions of years. Culture too originates from something.

Now look back at what soldiers do and what sex workers and their clientele resemble. It has nothing to do with emotional burdens.

I think if you're going to ask a subsequent question about an algorithm for predicting when bread is done proving, you are allowed to ask about leavening agents. That way, you can bypass the long explanation, and just say "Given n loaves of bread with X characteristics, design an algorithm to predict when they are done proving." That might actually be a decent data science interview question.

I used to ask an algorithms interview question based on bridge (the card game), and I asked a setup question of "have you ever played a trick-taking game?" That lets me see if I need to use the short explanation or the long explanation, and if you answered that you knew how to play bridge or spades in a follow-up question, I would ask a much harder version. If you've never played a card game in your life, I would switch questions (this has happened several times). In real life, most people understand that this kind of question is a setup for a subsequent algorithms problem, not a quiz of your knowledge of bridge or prime numbers (particularly after you say that you don't know number theory).

The interviewer didn't care how much you know about prime numbers any more than I cared about whether you knew how to play hearts/bridge. The interviewer was almost certainly trying to figure out how much he needed to explain in the problem statement for the algorithms problem.

Responding with snark only shows that you are not willing to work with them in good faith, and you are not willing to see where the question is going. It shows that you think you know what they should be asking you, and you have contempt for them because they are not running the interview the way you prefer.

By the way, if the primes thing was actually a quiz question that didn't go anywhere, I would encourage any Django programmer to say a gentle "fuck you" at the end of the interview. I certainly would.
We certainly do not study Newtonian physics based on Newton's writing, and any physics teacher who would use Newton's original argument and Newton's notation would be considered a very bad teacher simply because we have developed far better ways to express the same thing, the original argument is needlessly convoluted and original notation is horribly awkward - future work has improved on that.

This is not because "they had no idea about the concepts we have found recently?" - relativity and other non-Newtonian phyics is a different issue - it's about having the best, most accurate represenation of the same concept, and it is very unlikely that the very first attempt in defining a concept is the best result possible.

We can make (and have made) much better summaries of Newtonian physics than Newton did, better definitions of Newton's principles than those which he wrote, when we teach Newton's laws of motion, we never use the original wording but an improved paraphrase of them. The original has no value for the learner (other than a historical curiosity) because the revised versions are simply better expressions of the same thing. Why don't we require the same thing from philosophy?
> If philosophy is useful (which it may not be), then studying the history of philosophy is useful.

I'm not sure this follows, though nor can I think of any counterexamples where it is uncontroversially absolutely useless to study the history of a useful subject. But I think that one can, e.g., be a successful professional mathematician without being much interested in the history of mathematics.

But also don't have to make all the same mistakes other folks did / toil our way through to the ... potentially same endpoint. At least as far as code goes I've gone through plenty of experiments that go:

"Man I don't need this complex chunk of software, let me just try ..."

"Ok now I understand why that chunk of software is the way it is... and it's better than mine... I'll use that."

My thinking is that Apple is also the only customer that could fund the development of a competitor. I doubt that Apple would want to run their own fab, but they could help fund the development of 3nm at either GlobalFoundries or Intel.

I wouldn’t normally get angry about something like this but when the CEO talked about how upset she was that there were people out there who would do such harm I almost blew my stack. The level of wilful ignorance to your responsibilities required to feel that statement could be appropriate is astounding.

But most of all, if you’ve worked anywhere even remotely resembling a professional organisation in the last 10 years then it should be obvious just how bad things are inside Optus for this to have even happened. Something is deeply wrong there. This kind of breach should have thousands of things standing in the way of it being possible

> How big of a deal is solder fumes of unleaded solder?

Worse than leaded solder, because the temperatures are higher.

The lead in leaded solder doesn't go up in fumes. Contamination is from touch. You should wash the board after you're done (with e.g. IPA) and your hands.

You also should try and not solder where you eat, and the other way around.

I didn't get far with this.

All philosophy is the history of philosophy, in the sense that you're studying the ideas someone had in the past, whether that's the recent past or the distant past. The only philosophy that isn't history of philosophy is done by a handful of academics, and you can bet they all had a solid grounding in the history of philosophy.

I had to do a course on presocratic Greek philosophers. I couldn't understand why we had to study the ideas of these people whose ideas were wrong, wrong, wrong - even barmy. But all the interesting Greek philosophers knew and were influenced by the presocratics; Plato, Aristotle, the sceptics, the stoics. And so-called "modern" philosophers all studied these later Greeks.

It's impossible to engage with contemporary philosophy without studying the moderns, and studying the classical Greek philosophers makes it a lot easier to understand the moderns.

I'm glad the author mentioned Wittgenstein as a "historical" philosopher to whom attention shouldn't be paid. I don't know how a contemporary philosopher is supposed to approach the philosophy of language and logic without having worked through Wittgenstein and Ayer.

Tell HN: Watch Out for Deel (Letsdeel)
I tried global contracting with Deel and while the experience started off OK they offer zero help if you have an issue and hide behind "we do not offer tax advice".

I got over paid due to how a contract was structured. They do not support refunds but I was told if I leave the money with Deel for 30 days it will be returned.

So right now, on paper, I have a tax burden for money I should not have received and cannot get an answer from them on how this is going to be reported at the end of the year if I do not withdrawal the money from them.

And of course they do not have telephone support.
> 4) As the value of these bonds fall, these institutions are asked to post more collateral.

One thing I'd add is make sure you're snapshotting via ZFS or something similar, because the most likely cause of dataloss is accidental deletion, and if your synced copies are perfect replicas, they'll replicate the deletion, too.
> And civilized society routinely sets a floor for that “work or starve” dynamic, ensuring that there isn’t a race to the bottom and desperate people aren’t forced to take certain kinds of jobs.

No, not certain kinds of jobs, that's absolutely the wrong way to think about it. People shouldn't be forced into certain kind of working conditions. That's an entirely different perspective. If impersonal sex doesn't bother you, sex work is a perfectly legitimate form of labour as long as the working conditions are just as safe and regulated as any other job they could choose.

> And as to your own view, do you think unemployment offices should tell women to look for jobs in sex work before they can get unemployment benefits? After all it’s just another job right?

The notion that unemployment benefits should be contingent on anything is a notion you've carried into this, but even if we go with it, if a woman could not stand the thought of being a sanitation worker, then she has every right to reject that kind of job. The same argument applies to sex work.
> the file will be reliably closed at the end of the statement.

The only guarantee CPython makes is that it may eventually close the file once all references are gone. The fact that it does it immediately and reliably in this specific case is an implementation detail and should not be relied upon.

Use context managers when things need to be closed and save yourself trouble down the line.

> that's the moment to share that stuff with them

Why not do that via social media? Sending separate emails to even a few people, let alone dozens who might be interested, gets cumbersome really fast. They won't follow a blog. What they will do, what they find easy and convenient, is hop on Facebook or Twitter or Tumblr and see my Wonderful New Thing in their timeline. That even covers the case where I forgot to include someone, which becomes inevitable with enough content and enough friends. I don't see how that's anything but an improvement over other methods.

You also seem to be ignoring the possibility of meeting people via social media. I met my wife on Usenet, which was the "social media" of the time. Also the person who got me my first job in my current state. I have met many people IRL who I first met on Twitter. I have many "mutuals" on Tumblr, each sharing stuff that the other enjoys. Those connections are not illusions, and they wouldn't happen without open sharing beyond the people I already know. Why are you even commenting here, if not for a similar purpose?

I know bashing social media is The Thing To Do, but let's not get carried away. There is a reason such sites, including this one, exist. They provide value to people.
I stopped using Image Search like a year ago, simply because it is useless.

You cannot find anything.

Personal anecdote - I was at a specialist doctor to discuss the results of my tests. I was shocked when he typed a health issue to Google Image search, clicked on (what seemed to me) a random table matching his search terms and compared it with my results. He then said that everything is fine, the parameters are normal.

That got me scared, what if someone intentionally put a doctored table and used SEO to promote it to the top to mislead doctors and causing bad outcomes to patients?

"the author did cursory research, at best, into the minutae of printing, and got it wrong" is a strong possibility.
There's also something to be said about how Google should be returning information, not answers. Skip to the 1:00 mark in this Technology Connections video where he demonstrates how if you ask Google when the touch lamp was invented it'll pop up with a giant, confident answer of 1984, despite the fact that if you do the research yourself you can find the first patent for it was filed in 1954.

One thing with any query parameter API like this is that there's no guaranteed signal when the API has breaking changes.

I'm going to assume that there are hundreds or thousands of products, tools, hobby projects, ect, that direct to Google searches; none of which have any mechanism to know and break gracefully when the API changes. Furthermore, Google is under no obligation to coordinate with anyone who just arbitrarily send queries their way. (I've had a few hobby projects use Google Queries.)

Seems like the most we could really ask is to put some kind of version stamp into the query parameter; and Google could optionally support old parameters or simply return an error. Otherwise, we have to accept that sending browsers to other pages via query parameters is inherently fragile and has a high probability of breaking at any time.
It's semantically a copy of most of the string.
Apple 100% does need TSMC at this point and there is leverage both ways.

I suspect if Apple really wanted to they would probably start to produce their products in two lines like Nvidia did, with cheaper phones produced on something like Samsungs 4nm and the higher end phones on TSMCS 3nm.

This has the added benefit of diversifying their supply chain (to a degree), giving TSMC less leverage over Apple and potentially reducing the production cost of the lower end phones.

This is what a lot of people miss when they talk about moving to/from cloud providers. The marginal cost to add X more servers in the cloud is basically nothing, whereas to set up a new rack for on-prem requires requirements gathering, purchase orders, finance approvals, someone being at the dock when the UPS truck arrives, rack and stacks, etc. Those are one-time, yet very real costs. These fall under cap-ex which accounting-wise is treated very differently than op-ex. Now the cost in the cloud bakes all that in, and is distributed around with other users of the provider. Your accounting models are also easier ("pay for what you use").

Couple that with the very well known fact that AWS has outrageous data egress charges and there are patterns that can emerge where you're still in cloud but not racking up massive outbound data charges.
VPS is virtualized, of course it's cheaper than running your own hardware.

I think "Google-fu" just refers to being able to bend the search engine to your will. In the early days it was with operators and special keywords (inurl, etc) but today most of those are not as useful or actively harmful and so "Google-fu" has progressed. It's knowing which terms to drop from the error you are searching for, it's knowing how to phrase things correctly, it's knowing how to skim the results and separate the wheat from the chaff. Or at least that's what it means to me and how I use it.

I've definitely noticed worse results from Google search.

I just get page after page after page of "content" that appears to be either GPT written or written by somebody who has no idea about the topic.

They all seem to follow a pattern, they have a table of contents, and they take sentences from real sites regurgitate them and put them together into semi-random paragraphs.

If you know nothing about the topic it appears on the surface to be legitimate. And I bet to any quality engineers it all seems totally legitimate, because they're not experts in these fields.
