So - do we just report this as cap gains loss? How does this work in the States? As far as I can tell, my investment in this went to $0.

Edit: Apparently in the US, any capital loss due to loss or theft is not considered taxable capital loss, so I guess I'm just SOL.

I'm glad I had diversified and my Celsius losses were only 25% of my crypto (of which, at the time, was only 3% of my total investments overall). I've completely exited crypto since this debacle and sticking with boring VTSAX and VTIAX entirely.
There’s no such thing as browser/OS standard controls. Windows alone doesn’t have a standard UX across built-in apps. Then each browser has its own take on how to render native controls.

Imagine trying to document your web app but it has 15 totally different UI appearances.

And I can tell you from experience with xplat tech like Xamarin.Forms, write once run anywhere with Native control appearances is a disaster, even in relatively controlled environments (limited to iOS and Android).
OpenAPI Generator + This tool + some good UI would be a killer combination
The former of these would easily open the possibility of a false flag. Same with the latter, though it would be harder to pull off
I don't think free Cloudflare has a usage cap does it?

(My point being it's so easy it probably is 'worth it'? .. Especially after the first time this happens, even if only so you can tell media/bosses/whatever that mitigations have been put in place.)
When I open the page I'm greeted with a large deviantart quality anime drawing.

I closed the window immediately, what a strange mascot. Is this style of art more popular than I expect or something?
Agree with that. From the limited experience i have with Turkey, they are very unique and independent. I like that about them, they're very much their own country. Interesting place, mix of Asia and West.
If anything the mobile browser situation is much worse.

On one major platform, there is Chrome by default (so even bigger market share issues). People can install other browsers, but far fewer do than even on desktop. For those that do, most use the Play Store which has some conflict of interest concerns.

On the other platform it's even worse. The only option is Safari and the conflict of interest is fully realized because other browsers aren't even allowed on the App Store
> Gas prices nearly doubled between March 2020 and February 2022.

The months you selected are pretty much peak lockdown vs peak recovery, and are a reflection of demand for gas, not an oracle of some deep economic truth. Franky, I'm surprised the gas price difference is so small, considering the US economy shut down in March of 2020.
Chromebooks have been really awful in my experience. Most of them are underpowered bricks that can barely run Linux apps. Too much lock-in, limitations and spyware on it to be good for programming.

I bought one and was surprised at how bad everything was. The time it takes for Linux VM to boot and apps to start was really off putting. I went ahead and put ZorinOS on it, I don't have much storage to dual boot with the stock eMMC I can't upgrade, but at least the laptop is way more capable and enjoyable to use. Still bad performance but much better than ChromeOS.
> IMO it seems petty and not something a government would do.

By https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=citilife

Internet actor named "citilife" makes claims about "information laundering".

Who is this individual? Where is the evidence? There should be evidence before such claims are made. What is his name and affiliation? Where can I find this person in the real world? Maybe this actor is wearing a hat? Perhaps it made of sheets of metal? Perhaps tin foil?

To quote the actor to further this inquiry:

>And yes, I think evidence needs to be provided before claims are made. They're just saying "I think it's these guys" ... because?

I think evidence needs to be provided before claims are made. Before "citilife" is just saying "I think it's petty and information laundering". ... because?

Zuckerberg urged staff to have VR meetings when many didn't have VR headsets
Of course it would be.

Can you even compare the mental effort required ?
Absolutely.

Trainee staff are not efficient (by definition) and provide a low ratio of productivity to investment. However, so long as your new hires have net positive impact, it's worth having them if gross velocity can expand your share of a growing market.

The market has been ripe for about a decade now, thanks to quantitative easing and cheap capital propping up consumer spend. In addition those low interest rates make it inexpensive to borrow money and hire that army of developers.

Coming into a more cautious market, however, where things are more expensive, the balance shifts more towards spend control and getting value for money. Which is why I think junior hiring will slow down for a few years: more experienced staff are more productive relative to their incomes, and they probably won't be promoted out of IC as quickly as they used to due to businesses slowing down.

I think the age of retraining in tech as a no-brainer is behind us now. To be honest I think that was happening already as the junior market became saturated. New entrants might have to spend more cycles applying for jobs; coding bootcamps may shutter.
>> It's only an investment because somebody is willing to pay rent to cover the mortgage the purchaser paid and supply profit to the owner. If there are no renters willing to rent then nobody is able to profit.

Not true; if housing prices continue to increase, then even without rent it becomes a reasonable investment. But that's just it; people need a place to live, so with housing becoming harder to purchase due to higher competition, more people end up renting, becoming this negative feedback loop.

>> Moreover the reason why more housing has become investments is because capital costs of the housing market has increased. If local governments and fiscal policy try to make housing prices increase forever, then eventually house capital costs become high enough that only corporations or co-ops can own them.

So local government and zoning can be part of the issue, sure, but again, 1/4 of the homes sold in the past year were to institutional investors looking to rent them out. Those homes -could- have gone to a family; instead they became rental units. Relevant when we are talking about home ownership.

As to fiscal policy, I sort of agree with you, but not quite. It's less fiscal policy (after all, both a potential homeowner and a business can float a loan), but the scale at play. An investment company can get millions loaned out to them just by dint of being a business with cashflow, and so can pay well over appraisal. Homeowners can't; the loan there is made on the basis of the property as collateral. That innately means they're not competing on a fair footing.
We absolutely did. I’d pity CERN for the loss of some amazing, hardworking talent, but they had their chance.

Are there many effective altruists who are not humanists? As I understand it humanism is founded on moral anti-realism and endorses scientific tools to, at least in principle, discover formal models of human morality so that it can be better optimized.
Looking at one very narrow slice of the UK labour market, it seems to me that what's changed is this: in the old days, contracts said that employees would do "reasonable" unpaid overtime, and on a 100% job you ended up doing perhaps effectively 120% or something like that. You knew periods in the year that would always be busy, and periods in the year where no-one cared if you went home a bit earlier except if there was an unplanned crisis (which happened, but was rare). Everyone knew the actual deal, and it mostly worked.

Now, it seems like there's always a crisis, the definition of "reasonable" somehow went above 150%, and you're constantly being pushed to get more done with less. Also pay rises have been below inflation since around the early 2000s, and are definitely not keeping up with the current cost of living crisis.

I don't blame employees for going, if the employer's definition of "reasonable" overtime is anything but, what about if I work the number of hours I'm contracted for and no more? Because the unofficial actual deal worked as long as both sides were ok with it.
Eh, Kelvin is better.
The fact that they couldn't get the name of Mandiant right does not inspire faith that they have a handle on reporting security news more broadly.
I’m on the opposite coast working for $BigTech remotely. Just to keep the answer simple, when people outside of tech ask what I do I just say “I am a software developer” [1] and leave it at that. The same answer I’ve given for 25 years across 8 jobs. If they then ask where I work I say where I work, I tell them.

They usually just shrug and the conversation continues. Most people outside of the tech bubble just think a job is a job, many don’t even know the compensation of the large tech companies.

[1] The title isn’t strictly correct. But close enough. It beats droning on with the longer explanation
Sure, it could be either malice or ignorance. But when there is a strong incentive to misrepresent this (views, ads), they lose the benefit of the doubt. Plus, if it is ignorance, then they have no business reporting on cyberattacks.
Man, this motherfucker must just be a big ol' hoot at parties.
The problem with casinos is that it's easy to make one that is not fair (fraudulent odds). To prevent that, you need some sort of auditing system. And to do that you need to issue limited licenses. What this causes is that in most of the world, those licenses end up in the hands of really trustworthy characters that would never hurt a fly.

If it wasn't for that problem, I'd just be pro making casinos as straightforward to operate as opening an e-commerce shop. I have no qualms with adults gambling their money away, my problem is with mafiosos getting it all.
> The moralogians appeal to nothing and expect you to accept it! Is the origin of moral facts natural, or supernatural? If natural, can we engineer our own? Why or why not?

This is a strikingly bold way to put it I think.

Of course morals are natural in origin, and the shared basis for them is genetic at its core.

Does this imply there is some grand plan outside of natural selection for them? Of course not. Does it mean that these rules can be engineered to our liking? No more than you can engineer your own DNA. Maybe someday, but what's the reason? Our billions of years of evolution has done a pretty good job of it IMO.

As for altruism, it's painfully obvious that a) it does exist, and that b) it is a universal condition we all hold.

Where did altruism come from? Dawkins points to our ancestor's lengthy existence in a small group of ~200 individuals. Survival meant not only optimizing for your own genetic survival, but for that of the collective.

Imagine for a moment the vast bulk of humanity living without altruism. I suspect things would fall to pieces very quickly. It's a good thing our genetic code is littered with bits of rules like altruism.

> Isn't this already illegal?

Not in the slightest, and has been actively encouraged since Operation Choke Point and FOSTA/SESTA.
> No, global temperatures are up this year.

I haven't checked, but I also don't doubt it. The point is that it's unlikely to have been this specific event. There has likely been many similar events in the past, for example when some of the rivers dried up, there were warnings from people hundreds of years ago carved into the stones.

> As for checking snow in Scotland its pretty easy, there's a limited number of places of "perpetual snow".

This may not have always been common knowledge, or if it was, something not of interest or worthy of daily check-ups.

> EDIT: Not that "checking on snow in the past was harder" helps your argument in any way. If it was harder to check for snow a couple of hundred years ago then that makes it more likely that all snow _hadn't_ melted which is teh opposite of what you need to argue to argue against global warming.

It was harder not only because of environment, but also because there was no interest in modern global warming back then, there was not the investment to pay people to investigate it.

Lastly, I'm not arguing against global warming. I'm arguing that we should be more careful about attributing every single abnormal environment change to it.
The fact that they never implemented a policy for all their VR employees to get a Quest is ludicrous. I'm sure everyone was aware, but no one had the confidence to tell Mark. They're only telling him what he wants to hear and clearly don't feel they can provide honest feedback.

I don't see gambling as having the same kind of direct harms to others as drunk driving or second hand smoke.

If I gamble and I lose all my money and go bankrupt, that still doesn't necessarily harm others or even massively increase their risk of harm. Can't say the same for the other two actions.
I agree completely. Everyone who worked in the big tech hubs knows you typically get the best raises by job-hopping. Still, 5-10% raises are at least trying to prevent that. I cannot fathom a company doing zero, as implied by the "no-raise mentality" comment.
>which is quite important for authorities to track down violators

no, it is not. it is yet another power grab by the FAA and federal authorities to increase the surveillance state.

I should not be required to broadcast my signal to the federal government to prove I am not going to commit a crime, that is the exact backwards of how the legal system is suppose to work
I prefer a regulationist regime that gives a fuck about the environment and will strictly rein in corporate power to protect it.
I'm not sure this is much of a counterbalance? I think you can generally expect junior positions to have less responsibility and stress, at the expense of virtually no chance of moving up unless you really, really grind, and even then, there's not a lot of space at CERN. I think you really have to love it to the exclusion of all else and be smarter than your already smart peers to succeed there.
I don't see it. If you want IDE features in a text editor, you can use VSCode, it even has vim bindings that are at least trying (with middling success) to match the originals. The addressable market for Helix seems to be (neo)vim users who aren't picky about keybindings and new users who want a terminal editor in 2022. So... on the bright side the developers can probably have one-to-one conversations with all 10 of these people.
Confirmed. A bus or a tram (or even a regional bus, out in the sticks) will suddenly fill up with what seems like half a school.

His expectations around producing documentation go only as far as "Think about what documentation or data users need to understand and use your solution."

That seems like rather a low bar, compared to items like "I can articulate how all the data I use is laid out in memory."

I'd prefer to live in a world where a professional software engineer was expected to write documentation, and expected to be competent at it.
"... taken advantage of by an entity capable of causing Russian computers to convince U.S. computers to misbehave, or to convincingly mis-attribute that activity in at least the preliminary stages of an investigation."
Agree, I wouldn't say it's bad news necessarily. Just different. I mean some things can be bad, sure...I think other cultures you can learn from, but like you say...there's perfection of stuff; refinement. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, interesting! :)
In terms of units, no, but in terms of profit...

I think the reason parent leaned on that sub-group is that it is easy to move a lot of units at the very low end with minimal or even negative profit, and that was definitely Samsung's (to name one company) approach in years past. They would sell many, many Android phones at something like $100 each, in some cases losing money on every sale, and very, very few of the higher-margin profitable phones that most people on HN think of when they think of Samsung Android phones.

That's how, for example, iPhone accounts for 75% of all profit in the smartphone market worldwide, despite a low 13% market share[0].

When it comes to the big numbers, most people aren't really comparing Apples to apples.

Sorry, I guess I misunderstood what if anything you were asking about, or misinterpreted the question mark on the end of your comment.

The first sentance of the order says it only applies to current citizens or permanent residents. I guess if you were a visa holder at time of offense and had somehow become a citizen or lawful permanent resident since then (which would be hard to do with such an offense), it would apply to you...
I did. And I got my first two raises in 20 years.
Lot of highly sophisticated software thinkers here are doing the equivalent of a 'meh' to something the 'richest, most sophisticated, most caring, tech company in the world' has proclaimed. I did a 'meh' at the presentation of crash detect and I am not of that software programmer ilk. I do think it is important to remember you are being sold something, even when it emanates from ones own camp. I work with sound so, as you might imagine, have had decades of practice.

I'm 34. I never experienced any symptoms as far as I was aware although they include things like fatigue, so was that my BAV or just the fact that I've just had a long, active day? My cardiologist noticed at my last annual exam that some of the factors they track had crossed concerning enough thresholds to make me a surgery candidate.

As for how long one can go, I was diagnosed at 6 months old, but I've read stories of people in their 60s or 70s when they're first diagnosed. It's a very common condition; about 1% of the population have it, and I personally know a few other people who've been diagnosed. It also seems to vary pretty substantially in its severity; it seems lots of people could have minor cases and not know until later in life. I was told at various times that I'd need surgery by the time I was 14 or 26, so I consider 34 a win in my scenario.
Very interesting article. Japan is in real trouble as a society and possibly danger as an ally of the West. China doesn't just want payback so do many Koreans on both sides of the DMZ.

Japan's inability to raise a full military since 1945 has been a pretty big hinderance to their self-defense capabilities and the USA might not be able to help them if real war begins.

It's strange that Japan is allies with the West and not Russia. Japan and Russia have way more in common as isolated countries in love with their own cultures than Japan has with the ever changing USA.
Hello everyone, I'm Quentin, the CEO of Meilisearch. We are very proud to announce today our incredible fundraising.
Over the last three years, we have succeeded in establishing ourselves as a serious competitor in the search industry. In just 3 years, we have managed to win over the hearts of developers by enabling them to create fast, relevant, and easy-to-implement search experiences in their applications.

But this was only the beginning. Thanks to this new investment, we will continue to invest in open source and the community and start the next big phase of our company. Offering the same quality of research to companies on a completely different scale.

We have a lot of ideas to make Meilisearch even more scalable and easier to integrate into the devs stack. Geo-replication, data sync with primary databases, search bar customizable in one line of javascript, and many more.

Stay tuned for news. I will be happy to answer all your questions here.

> "never have to write and maintain your tests again!"

this feels a bit misleading though.

What are you doing step ci? :D
Exactly. Making good fakes is hard. Making good future-proof fakes is probably impossible.

But what you can do instead is make a half-decent fake, then accuse other things of being fakes, accuse your own fake of being fake with softball arguments, fake evidence for the other side, and in general throw up a wall of noise and hope it benefits you (the underdog propagandist's way).

Or just not talk about the evidence, and convince people to not look at or think about the evidence (the hegemonic propagandist's way).

That the truth can be found doesn't mean you can convince people of the truth.
> Ceph started out as an object storage system with vaguely universal front end slammed on top.

The opposite. Ceph started out with the underlying load balancing algorithm (May 2004), then with the plan for the filesystem metadata management (Nov 2004). The block storage was created to support the filesystem, virtual block devices were an afterthought to enable private clouds, object storage was an afterthought in a world where S3 got popular.

See https://www.ssrc.ucsc.edu/person/sage.html for the chronological order.

Of course, stabilizing the most complex part of the stack, depending on almost everything else already being stable (everything except RBD and the S3-compatible gateway, which both are relatively slim layers on top of RADOS), takes the longest. Meanwhile, business users were very keen on getting the benefits of RBD for "private clouds" and the object storage, so the filesystem was on the back burner.

[Disclaimer: I worked on Ceph pre-RedHat]
