The problem is you need operating system features to run Postgres as-is, e.g. mapping memory, forking processes, manipulating files. What is missing is a WASM kernel that skips the x86 emulation but implements enough of the other stuff.

For example, for just one of many hairy problems, consider that Postgres uses global variables in each backend for backend-local state (global state as such is in shared memory). How does this look in assembly, accounting for both the kernel and userspace components? This is the problem.

A general way to convey this is: the more system calls a piece of software uses, the more difficult a WASM target without architecture emulation becomes. And Postgres doesn't even obligate that many obscure ones.
You’re making a different point.

Phishing is typically tricking an individual into divulging sensitive information. Credential stealing is typical, but still a subset.

Plaid uses banking credentials on a user's behalf. Yes, it's similar to using stolen credentials because... it's the same thing, except consent, audits, insurance, etc. all play a role whereas with criminal activity they do not.
Same, but it is all relative. I absolutely don't understand people with no kids or dogs buying massive houses with backyards and all, feels like just a lot of extra space you gotta clean up and maintain. Again, exceptions apply, some people set up gardens, work on their project car, set up a woodworking shop in the garage, etc. All of those make sense to me, but otherwise, I don't see the appeal.

However, 95sqft is way too little. Ideally, I would prefer to simply live in a sub-1000sqft apt with a balcony and a good layout. If the layout is good, i would be down to go for even less space. Saying that because my current layout is rather stupid, and the apt building management knows it (given that the apt next wall to me has a bit over 100sqft less space, but costs more, due to the layout actually making more sense).
I like Jetty. Javalin is nice for Kotlin but Jetty + java has worked well for me.
> So I proposed to the owner of the company, I would create a "Click Faker". It would go to google on your local PC, it would then search for a term you wanted to rank, then it would navigate the top 10 pages, if it found you, it would click your link, then spend 2-5 minutes navigating around your site before closing the window.

Dumb question: how would google know you spent 2-5 minutes on that domain and navigated around it?

Dang, I remember when SF was reputed to be a cis man's dating paradise. With all the gay dudes I had heard rumors that the ratio was something like 3 women to 1 man.
It is easy to think that this is normal. And I can think of many non crappy reasons that it became so.

That said, I do think it hinges on dishonest. Even if well intended, there is absolutely no faith in thinking that there were actually that many meaningful hits on any of these searches. Nor is there really much gained by presenting such large numbers.

I can almost buy that it is intended directionally to help refine search terms. But, the numbers are so silly large that I don't. Especially as there is no way to see the last results to know exactly why they count as hits, but are not worth serving.
The likelihood of theft is reasonably low, certainly less than 1%. I don't know what L2 ERC20 is but normally for larger amounts within the regulated system, you would send a check or money order, or ACH if you were doing this at volume. At higher amounts you'd send a wire transfer. I don't see a role for crypto here.
Maybe they pay more?
Could be because some people actually watch these videos and click skip occasionally. The sea sounds was a static image so I doubt people just stared at the empty screen for very long.
Using a company and having proper contracts and agreements with them to be properly protected is not malice, especially since the company is well known and assumedly adheres to regulation.

I'm not sure what you want privacy.com to do differently.
I would imagine that cars built for endurance racing, where this is known to be a common thing, would be designed to make it easy, while cars built for the general public will not have such a guarantee—some will be easy, some will be annoying, and some will be outright pains.

I read Svante Pääbo’s autobiography, which is basically a story of him continually getting the scientific equivalent of promoted, and thought it was interesting that he refuses to give his discoveries Latin species names like “Homo denisova” on the basis that they’re pretentious. So Denisovans still don’t have one.

Also, at one point he steals his labmate’s wife, and then later hires them both for his own lab.

It's a good book and his work is very significant - this is a well deserved prize.

SEEKING WORK | Cambridge/London UK or Remote

I'm a software engineer with coming up for two decades of programming experience. I've helped startups get started and big companies keep going.

I've organised a couple of jobs through HN now; it's been a good way to find interesting projects, and my clients have been pleased with the work. One said: "Thank you! I've played with it a bit and it looks very impressive! Way better than what I imagined this project could be."

I've worked on a very wide variety of web-based projects, as well as React Native, and other platforms, so I will be able to hit the ground running on most projects. If you're doing something a bit esoteric, that could still suit me – I've done FPGAs, network protocols, more ETL than you can shake a stick at, and devised novel algorithms.

I am productive in every commercial programming language I've tried. In the last 5 years I've done commercial projects in (at least):

Typescript/Javascript (React Native, browser, and Node.js), Ruby, Java, C#, and Python. I'm trying to find someone to pay me to do some Rust.

I am good at talking to customers and product people to help figure out what we should be building, as well as building it. I enjoy working with other developers and helping the team learn. I'm happiest on fixed-term projects that I can complete on a schedule that suits both of us, and my clients have been very happy with this process too.

Bitcoin's artificial scarcity only has value to those who value it.

If someone steals Bitcoin from you (perhaps through malware that silently redirects a transaction) or if someone steals your Bitcoin "wallet", what recourse do you have?

Optiver | SRE / Infrastructure engineer / Platform engineer | Amsterdam, Netherlands | Full Time | $160-$205k | https://optiver.reallinks.io/r/0Bq0HvDj

Optiver is a leading trading firm driven by technology with over one thousand employees globally. We pioneer our own trading strategies and systems using clean code and sophisticated technology, running a global network with thousands of high-performance low-latency applications that solve problems in nanoseconds.

Our Linux Team ensures our trading servers work so we can trade. They establish that our production environment works optimally by deploying, maintaining, monitoring and operating a fleet of UNIX servers to its highest possible performance.

---

In a nutshell, we provide, install and maintain over 1800 physical servers on 15 colocations, and debug tricky issues that pop up when you are pushing the limits of compute & networking.

You'd be working on squeezing the last bit of performance out of bare-metal servers (with fancy equipment to measure microsecond/nanosecond variation) and on the other hand, making our provisioning at all layers of the stack smoother and easier for users.

We provide relocation assistance and visa sponsorship in the Netherlands.

Mostly because PS4 didn't get hardware hacked. All of the hacks were software exploits that could be patched before folks were able to leverage them to bring their consoles online with cheats. iirc it did happen a couple of times though.

>PC players play on jailbroken (in a sense) machine.

PC games also ship with anti-cheat. Why ship anti-cheat to a console that's supposed to be secure?
> This is because we gradually cut it all down over a long period of time, presumably on the iterated basis that there was a lot of it and that cutting down a few square miles was really not a big deal.

This feels like a critique of the parent, but if so it ignores the key point: BC's forests cover 230k square miles [0]. The entire island of Great Britain is only 80k square miles, 15% of which (12k square miles) was estimated to be forest in 1086 [1].

To put this in perspective: If British Columbia deforested itself at the rate Britain did (an average of 9 square miles of forest lost per year), it would take 25 thousand years to finish the job.

Yes, BC needs to log responsibly, like everyone else. But "responsibly" for BC has a very different definition than it does for Britain, and imposing British sensibilities on Canadian logging isn't useful.

As long as the few people with the skills to make a (very watered down, thanks to Google) adblocker for mv3 don't. Then for the average user the statement "you can't block ads on Chrome" approximates to true.

If the hobbled ad blockers get made anyway then the effect pushing to Firefox will be lesser but still there. Especially since ad networks will not be able to restrain themselves from abusing the initial crack in the door and users find themselves staring at more and more ads.
OneText (YC W23)

First Business Development Hire

Remote

Full Time (Internships available for similar role)

OneText is a different kind of payment company. Companies today rely on marketing campaigns in spite of the poor conversion rates they produce. Customers want to find exactly what they’re looking for and purchase it as quickly as possible. OneText enables seamless purchasing and automated customer interactions over SMS. We already drive increased cart recovery rates of over 5x for brands and help to convert nearly two-thirds of customers to recurring purchases - and we’re just getting started.

We’re looking for our first hire for the business. You will be responsible for helping us build and optimize our customer acquisition, on-boarding and support pipelines. Working with our founders, you will help us target direct-to-consumer brands to sign-up for OneText. You will have ownership over our outbound sales and customer onboarding processes, giving you a significant role in an early stage, high growth firm.

We are seeking the following attributes and skills for this role:

* Experience with CRM and e-mail automation systems is a nice-to-have. We presently use Close and a number of third party plugins but are open to reconfiguring our pipeline.

* Past experience in direct sales is valuable. A big part of this role will be developing warm leads from databases of target customers. Expect that you will be reaching out to individuals you have never met before.
You are open to daily trial-and-error. While we have effective talking points and high conversion outreach methods, this is a young firm. We expect that there will be bumps in the road as we try things that don’t scale or otherwise work.

* Past work in the direct-to-consumer/consumer-product/goods space will serve you well. While not an absolute requirement, having a network will give you an edge early on in developing the best copy and e-mail automations to attract clients.

* We absolutely are happy to talk to individuals looking to switch career paths or coming from uncommon backgrounds. If you think you have the right personality type to excel in this type of position, we would love to talk to you and see how we can support you to succeed on our team.

Pay and benefits will be market-rate and competitive. This will be determined as we fine tune the role with you to determine initial projects, expectations/KPI, and long term personal development goals.

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to reach out. With your help, we can make shopping much more enjoyable for customers - and far less headache inducing for brand owners. We look forward to talking to you!

For now, questions/comments/resumes can be directed to my email in my profile.

I'm with you in spirit, but I think this verges on letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Ideally we'd have really narrow streets, so much less parking, and many more amenities for pedestrians.

Realistically, replacing a good chunk of the existing gas-fueled cars with electric cars would be a HUGE net win.

FWIW, they are at least willing to put this in their privacy policy:

> Whenever legally possible, we seek to protect the information we share by imposing contractual privacy and security safeguards on the recipient of the information. This is particularly important in cases where the recipient is located in a country that has different or lesser privacy laws than those of the country where the information was originally collected. In some cases, however, it’s not possible for us to do so — for example, when we have a legal obligation to disclose information to a government authority and that government authority isn’t willing to enter into such contractual safeguards.
Really? HN didn't become Facebook, even though HN is tied to the capitalist class just as much as Facebook is. I have exactly the same relation to capital when I use HN as when I use Facebook (or would, if I used Facebook), and yet the alienation is much higher with Facebook.

Marx didn't predict this. McLuhan did. HN is a different medium from Facebook (and deliberately so).

Why? How about we regulate things that pollute instead, like burning coal. PoW does not pollute nor emit greenhouse gases.
