How can it be unethical if the person knows full well what's coming with no surprises, and the person judged that it was in their best interest to do it? That'd be saying it's unethical to provide someone with a benefit-cost > 0 which they've agreed to, and I don't see why that should be true.

I'd agree it's unethical only if their cognition was compromised (meaning he wasn't capable of analyzing the costs and benefits and deciding if it was in his interest) or if there were surprises hidden (meaning he didn't really agree to what happened) or if it's a particular type of decision where people are known to not be capable of factoring in long-term costs properly into their decision making. But we don't know if any of this is true, do we?

An argument I would be sympathetic to would be that it's unethical not because of what happened to the subject in particular (after all, he net benefited if the above assumptions are met), but because of the negative flow-on impacts to culture and the social fabric.
> Once you get to a certain size I think you can attract a team who can build out rather than buy in, and in so doing reduce costs.

I don't think this true for the vast majority of applications. It's probably true for the Youtube, Netflix, OneDrive, etc critical data path, but when your ownership is more like two dozen applications ranging from tiny (one consumer on some infrequent interval) to mid sized (under 100k requests a minute, for text, json, images, generated UI components), it's damn near impossible to beat from a pricing standpoint.

Going back to on prem servers, even doing kubernetes/docker orchestration would likely increase my current team's monthly capital expenditure from ~$14000 a month to somewhere in the realm of 50-60k a month. The sad thing about those prices are that our on prem offerings are very cheap compared to the last price I worked, a $BIGBANK that has multiple data centers in multiple countries. As an internal client with the same footprint we have now, $BIGBANK global infrastructure folks provisioning would take $90-110k and 6 to God even knows how many months depending on how fast you could get through the churn of governance, compliance, security, and controls.

Edit: just realized I forgot to mention I'm talking about serverless projects almost exclusively. That's important to the cost savings, because I agree that I'd rather host something in the 9 year old server in my basement and run my own reverse proxy than use EC2/EKS from a cost perspective.
Reminds me of the story of Nasubi: “Tomoaki Hamatsu was challenged to stay alone, unclothed, in an apartment for Susunu! Denpa Shōnen (January 1998 – March 2002), a Japanese reality-television show on Nippon Television, after winning a lottery for a "show business related job". He was challenged to enter mail-in sweepstakes until he won ¥1 million (about US$10,000) in total. He started with nothing (including no clothes), was cut off from outside communication and broadcasting, and had nothing to keep him company except the magazines he combed through for sweepstakes entry forms. After spending 335 days to reach his target, he set the Guinness world record for the "longest time survived on competition winnings".”

> The debt-to-GDP ratio the US currently carries has been seen before.

In the middle of a world war, facing a level of emergency that left civilisations of more than one continent shattered and reordered the world as it was known. As an emergency spike that lasted for around 5 years before they started paying people back. And although the debt was staggering and the US economy was in its prime as a global manufacturing superpower.

This is obviously different, the US government has just been spending because they can. If they even try to pay this debt off it'd be stupid. From the US perspective, why even bother? They're basically already committed.

> I can’t pay my mortgage in full right now. That doesn’t mean my bank loses money on the loan.

In that case you've defaulted on your mortgage. You may get on well with the US government.

And the bank may or may not be losing money for all I care, but on net the creditors to the US are clearly losing money. The numbers are too big for any other outcome.
So? That's the same as saying "I made a record". They probably didn't just make one. But it doesn't change the underlying definitions or the misuse of comparing them incorrectly.

Ask HN: Which are the best newsletters for job seeking?
Hi there,

There are a lot of newsletters to help you to find a job, I am subcribed to a dozen of them to get ideas as I am sending a weekly one too. Every week I curate the top 50 jobs I find and include them.

Please if you know any good one let me know. Also, what info is relevant for you as a job seeker in a newsletter?

Thanks :)
Also I suppose to add a little more depth to this explanation a lot of this is related to actions coming from the US central bank.

As the Fed raises rates in the US it makes the dollar a more attractive place to put money. This devalues other currencies against the dollar.

Because the dollar is the reserve currency a lot of stuff countries like the UK imports is denominated in dollars (oil, food, etc). This means the US actually increases inflation pressures for other countries when they raise their domestic interest rates.

This forces other central banks to raise interest rates in line with the US simply to protect their currencies from the inflationary effects of currency devaluation.

Unfortunately right now Europe can't really afford to do this with an ongoing energy crisis, but we have no choice. The US is literally whacking their allies around the head with the US dollar.

But then from the US perspective what choice do they have? The Fed already has little credibility and to allow inflation to run hot in the US to protect Europe from currency devaluation would be equally risky and unpopular.

We're in very tricky times. We've kicked the can down the road for so long that it's now catching up. We no longer have any good options left. It's all just trade-offs from here.

Many including myself did try to warn this was always the risk of such a reckless response to Covid, but I suppose it's too late for that now.
Yeah $390 + shipping + 25% VAT is a lot for this. It can't be more than $50 in parts.

But I guess this is the problem when you turn a hobby project into a niche business. You suddenly have to amortize the development costs over a small number of sales. Otherwise there's no point making it your sole means of income.

And from the initial 3D printed model to a custom made production run takes many times the amount of time it will have taken to build the prototype.

In this case there's the pick & place machine to consider too. I'm surprised she didn't outsource this. These things are expensive and I doubt she has enough parts to run it 24/7 to get her money's worth.

But no way I'll consider buying one at this price. Great project though!!
I assume it is PR. Previously, broadcasters and their journalists held some bargaining power in interviews such that in exchange for being able to access a broad population, the interviewee would be willing to subject themselves to the journalist’s questions.

The internet kind of obviated that role, so now there is no need for an interviewee to subject themselves to questions they do not want, because they can reach everyone they want at no cost by putting up a blog post on their website.
In the specialty coffee scene I would say so. I think Tim Wendelboe influenced a lot of roasters within that part of the industry all around the world.

Specialty coffee isn't just a buzzword too although it is often used as one. It specifically refers to green (raw) coffee rated 80-100 by a qualified grader. When you are paying good money for a quality coffee it doesn't make much sense to roast out the individual characteristics of the coffee i.e you either roast off the acidity and the aromatics or you keep the aromatics but accept higher levels of acidity.

I travelled to Italy and France before I got into specialty coffee. At the time the style of coffee in Italy at best was a nice simple chocolate/caramel/toffee cup. Not overly acidic at all. All the coffees I had in France were terrible. The best way to describe them would be ashtray/bitter. I know in later years people from the Australian scene moved to (or back to) Paris and opened shops importing specialty coffee from other European countries or just started roasting their own.

To be fair thought you can't talk about coffee without taking price into consideration. Quality varies wildly too within a given market even though price may stay the same. A few anecdotal experiences in different cities can have you comparing the equivalent of a loaf of bread purchased at the supermarket to a loaf of bread baked by an artisan.
MIT Asks Its Faculty to Endorse Free Speech
I beg to differ, as soon as they need a second file, import a dependency or use additional helper methods, they get to face all of it anyway.

And then there is the issue with leaky abstractions when the code that gets compiled interfers with the ideal worlds that the compiler injects, and possible confusing error messages get generated.

Like it happens with all guest languages that target the JVM pretending to be Java, and one gets a confusing stack trace only understandable by those with proper Java background.

Pipelines are finished -- can't be used for anything now. Maybe scuba training or something in the future.

sure, but even if I were at a large company with complex tooling, I'd still need to be able to sign up and/or talk to someone who can take a more holistic view than "sorry that's not my dept"?
I don't think it's clear from this statement, but how much could each firm potentially earn from these "failures"? If the fine is merely 10% of what they could earn from being able to doing insider trading and hiding the traces or whatever, what is even the point of these fines? The fines should be higher than what they could potentially earn from breaking these laws, otherwise it just falls into the bucket of "cost of doing business".
> Well you want to check your session cookies as well against something ;-)

I think that is the point of the op: If you have to check a db to realize revocation, then you can use session cookies because they also need to hit the db. (Because you don't get rid of the db hit for using jwt).
Tell HN: You can now sell some software and services to Iranian customers
It's probably naive to think I can ensure the compliance of this myself, but as I have a US corporation, and use Stripe, and a US bank, I'm trying to make my way through the D-2 General license announced Sep 23 2022 to understand what I can and can't now do.

I have a remote browser isolation product that a few months ago a customer in Iran requested under dozen seats of. I told them I couldn't serve them at that time because of the sanctions. When I saw Blinken's tweet the other day[0], I thought of my potential Iranian customer, and emailed them to check-in. They said they were still happy and now had needed an order of magnitude more than before.

I started reading through the press release / license text[1] to try to make sense of it. It certainly seems like what I offer is covered.

I soon realized however that Stripe and my bank would likely consider transacting with Iranians a violation of their terms, understandably, as I don't think "financial services" are a covered business in these general licenses. In light of that, it may make it impossible to get paid. Then I hit on an idea: what if I use cryptocurrency? So that's my current heading.

Even so, I still need to verify if this person, their company, and their customers are not affiliated with the Iran government, and not on a blocked or restricted list. I don't really want to go through the personal details of people (it seems unnecessary from a product sales point of view), but it's part of ensuring compliance with OFAC and other restrictions, so I'm going to do it.

Even if that's all good, there's still other agencies that may restrict exports.

It's a minefield, but I think it's worth it to at least consider as well as I can, how I may be able to provide these folks with the services and products they want.

Anyway, I just wanted to PSA this news (I don't think many are aware of it, despite it being a big thing), and share my experience so far.

Cookie is a mechanism to store and send tokens to the server, which is orthogonal to what the token is.

You could store JWT in a cookie, or use opaque token in a HTTP header, for example.

That said, the session cookies we loved back in the day were usually opaque tokens, yeah.

> His bit on Joe Rogan

OT, but was Joe Rogan during that time (playing) an idiot that never second guesses blatant lies? I find it hard to watch obscure experts, that are either genius' or delusional, and not know what I heared/watched due to no classification by a reliable source, as any journalist should provide with any third party statement.

Therefore, I'd rather watch an interview elsewhere.

I think he now has a "fact checker" who googles questions (nope, not scholar.google.com, regular google queries), but interviews seem to stick to their obscure logic even if a house of cards was just debunked at the very foundation by five minutes of fact checking.
You would essentially have to offer the entire tech stack for that to work. Like all of them. Like every lang, framework and library there is.

A very interesting concept tangential to this question is the idea of "The Great Divergence".

"The Great Divergence or European miracle is the socioeconomic shift in which the Western world (i.e. Western Europe and the parts of the New World where its people became the dominant populations) overcame pre-modern growth constraints and emerged during the 19th century as the most powerful and wealthy world civilization, eclipsing the Ottoman Empire, Mughal India, Qing China, Tokugawa Japan, and Joseon Korea. "

Sometimes the lack of an answer can be just as telling, making it still worth asking even if they won't answer the question directly.
At this point he's quite likely the majority shareholder of a fast food empire, a chocolate bar company, and the owner of the Youtube channel. On top of that there is a layer of distribution deals and sub-channels (I mean there's even a Mr. Beast in Español channel).

I suspect that early on much of it was carried on the back of personal and business debt, but once the fast food division took off it all made more sense.

I also don't like where this is heading culturally, and while I find him odd, his crew or whatever the other members are seem incredibly annoying and vapid. It's also through watching Mr Beast videos, that every Westerner should immediately be able to understand why so much of the world has varying degrees of hate towards the West.

One benefit of learning functional languages, whether Haskell or Clojure, is that it makes you a better developer in other, non-functional, languages.
The BEAM VM, the virtual machine which runs Erlang and Elixir, is very opinionated. It provides primitives which every language must support. The primitives require the languages to be functional.

The Australian law allows the government to order telecommunications providers to assist in intercepting telecommunications and assist in implementing the technical capability to intercept communications (aka backdooring stuff).

Practically for email there is no need or reason to back door anything to do this though.

If asked they’d just pull the content straight from the server, same as Google/MS assuredly do for the US government. So I don’t think the threat model or risk of back doors is increased.
This feels very doom and gloom. Mr Beast gets to make the videos he wants, viewers get to watch amazing videos and people who are featured in the videos generally get paid. Everyone wins.

Most of his videos are basically excuses to give people money and you rarely see participants not having a good time. Having the guy sit around for 100d is the most 'exploitative' video I've seen, but that really doesn't seem like the goal.

If he starts making real-life Hunger Games videos I'd be worried, but it doesn't feel like he's heading in that direction at all. More like a new version of game shows, except it's way less forced, more varied and very lighthearted.
That is a good point, they also could be targeted. But I think there is enough redundancy in that case.
