> wielding power generally means giving someone something and that implies not giving it to someone else.

I don’t know if I would describe this as power as opposed to Economics? And when we talk about something like economics (the systems by which resources are allocated) I think we are at a level of organization that transcends individuals in the way that bulk materials transcend individual atoms or electrons.

Using your example, you can pay your child’s tuition, but you simply operating with a system you have no real control over. You as an individual are powerless to determine tuition rates, or that there is a financial component in the allocation of seats in the school in the first place.

What I am talking about is individuals who abuse systems to hurt other people. Like the person who willfully misinterprets something you said, or makes up a rumor about you to turn others against you or justify beating you up.
Does it seem like this would replace or improve upon what was lost at Arecibo?
Ask HN: Solutions Architects were you promoted into that role or hired directly?
I am curious because I'm running into some minor push back where the company tells the recruiter "no we are looking for a Solutions Architect, this guy has a Software Engineering resume"... but I figure many Solutions Architects started in that role. Working at smaller companies you tend to do the same work as a SA anyways even though your title is engineer... anyone have experience with this? I have 12+ years of experience full-stack and working directly with stakeholders/clients/execs to plan/build/deploy/maintain... what am I missing?
> But the same reasoning can be applied to any formal system F, with fairly minimal assumptions:

Strictly speaking, F has to be satisfiable/consistent as well. {P, ~P} is a trivially recursively enumerable, complete theory which contains Q.
I love XMPP but I onboarded 20+ extended family members just by giving them the Signal group link. I don't want to think what kind of headache introducing my 92 year old grandfather to XMPP would be.

For what it's worth: using a tool like pypi-parker technically violates PEP 541[1], since it uploads projects with no functionality solely to reserve parts of the namespace. You may or may not get away with using it, depending on how you use it, but PyPI's admins (who I do not speak for) would be within their enumerated rights to ban any account that uses it to squat names.

Didn't the pension funds all go broke because the regulators let them undercapitalize them to start with on the assumption they could make it up in the market, and then whenever markets went down and they would bust? I mean, I agree that it was a tragedy, but ISTM the blame goes to the people in the 60s and 70s who were like "Oh yeah, we don't need to pre-fund the pensions. GM will live forever, and the market will never go down."
Do founders set their own salaries? Do they need to be approved by a board/VCs? Do investors have heuristics to help decide if a given founder's salary is appropriate, and not exploitative to boost a founder's lifestyle before a business is truly viable?
Exactly! Free speech is to protect you from being jailed or executed by the state for publicly held opinions. It has absolutely nothing to do with twitter, and I believe anyone arguing that it does is arguing in bad faith or out of ignorance to the actual purpose of the free speech clause of the first amendment.
Only accepting cash and locking your phone are both perfectly legal decisions that nobody needs to account for. It is your right to do either.
one bug implies two bugs only in the sense that any given software has at least one bug and any given software has at least one more bug than you know exists ;)
The mainstream media will be frothing at the mouth at how Apple products are built on slave labor, while all phones, Apples and their competitors, are built in mostly those same factories.

The only difference is that Apple publishes their yearly Supplier Responsibility report, which, yes, does contain reports that their audits found violations. And then the violations are resolved or the supplier is banned. What more are they to do?

There is a long way to go, that’s why it’s a progress report. And yes, there are aspects that are left unmentioned, like the unionization debacle in the stores. But really Apple is not who you should be focusing on for slave labor.

Man, marketing of those tunneling services as VPNs is actually causing damage. Those services are NOT VPNs.

Tailscale is very much more like a real VPN than those other things that are pretending to be VPNs.
Great suggestion! I think we'll ask this question in the next iteration :)
If the scraping is happening "on-device", though, then they're not providing their details to a third party. They're simply accessing their schedules. Otherwise, pulling up their schedules in any web browser would be considered giving their credentials to a third party since that's basically what's happening here. It would be like logging in to the aa.com employee site and then installing a Chrome extension that reads the page that was downloaded. Nothing is given to the Chrome extension in terms of credentials, only page content.
I agree with you, but what option does an employer have in this climate, even if they want to improve the situation? You can't fight alone against the currents.

There's a reason marriage appeared as an institution, since it forces more loyalty from both sides. We'd need new mechanisms that build trust on both sides, but it's not clear how those would look like.
> Maybe most people were voting on this because they think it's right or wrong, not because it says anything new or interesting (I don't see that it does).

There's probably some truth in this, in respect of the voting. I certainly never expected it to have a brief stint top of the front page when I submitted it.

As the author I'd like to hope it was an interesting read, but I'll absolutely agree if you're much familiar with the crypto space, it's not new information or a new set of arguments. That doesn't matter to me because for me, for the position I take on this industry, I think what's important is for more people to speak out against crypto, to challenge the hype around blockchain and not be afraid to say it's simply not delivering.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing - it's great to see companies that are willing to embrace more representative governance.
Nice, someone with a company size of 26 to 50 got 50M of funding and is paying themselves out 1M a year working remote.

That is the life. I want to know what industry that is in.
Especially ironic given that it's often proponents of free software (free as in both) that repeat this soundbite.

If your investment horizon is long enough and your secure storage space cheap enough, Lego might be a more prudent investment.

Basic strategy: buy and hold unopened copies of the 'flagship' sets of each Lego theme. If a theme is small enough, get complete sets of sets. For instance, the Muppets minifigs were sold in blind bags, but every case was guaranteed to hold three complete sets, so buy a whole case, not random bags. The Speed Champions line, after the switch to 8-stud wide models, had a dozen or so sets over two years (so far).

At your time horizon, decide whether you want to sell as parts or sets.

In 2000, the UCS X-wing (7191-1) was about $150 new. There appears to be one incomplete set on the open market for $831. The parts are worth about twice that if sold individually. I suspect an unopened set would go for about $2000, implying a return rate of about 12.5% APY.
Is this somehow wrong?

Let's hope the outcome of the lawsuits are widely known, reported fairly by the media, and taken seriously.
The gap between me and many of my friends/neighbors today, is more important to me. I recognize how lucky I am to be born into relative privilege, but I’m not quite sure what Jeff Bezos has to do with this discussion, or what point you’re trying to make?
i like this observation. its an interesting dichotomy even if you dont accept the sociological bit. the same thing occurs in machining and fabrication i think- theres a role for "dog meat" and a role for precision. true wisdom is valuing both and knowing when which is appropriate. i really like your neutral characterization of both attitudes, its very hard not to be partial to one.
If a client retries it’s not necessary for all 100 requests to be attempted again. The system could be designed to only repeat the unsuccessful operations.
Such advocates are the ones with the credentials to actually bother listening to, like core devs or the people who literally wrote the book on understanding the technical nature of the system.

They're not the fringe, they're the core that the fringe pump monkeys looking for a quick buck latch onto and promptly ignore.

The majority of people who talk about literally anything aren't worth listening to, and if you can't differentiate between the two, we have bigger problems to work through.
I really think there’s a case to be made for banning advertising as a whole, besides a few designated places like shop windows and classified sections

> It's not cool to take free training if you know you will be out shortly.

It's also not cool to hire people when you know layoffs are coming, but employers do this all the time. But, as you say "just be a better company" is fantasy world belief.

My ex- had this, applied for a job. "We want someone who is going to be here for the long haul, five years plus." She had aspirations for vet school in the next year or two.

To you, that's a commitment from an employee that is fair to expect.

"Is the company committed to giving me a job for the next five years?" ... well, why not?

You're very much in the mindset of "an employee should be happy to have a job".
The point is (1) to make trades denominated in USD when you're banned from actual USD and (2) to be able to transfer USD quickly between different crypto exchanges.

Are you implying that those things are somehow in conflict? Because they very clearly aren't.
Ask HN: How to handle responsible disclosure when a company ignores you
Recently I discovered an urgent issue on a website I frequent. This issue is leaking so much user data through a websocket that it's not even funny and requires zero action (aside from loading the site) to get.

Data being leaked includes email addresses, geolocations, private photo (read: nudes) URLs, bcrypted (thankfully at least) passwords and salts, password reset / account activation codes, user agents, IP, fingerprint hashes, staff notes about the accounts and even reports (including reason, text submitted by the reporter, and the reporter itself).

I've tried multiple ways of contacting the company, as the data could seriously harm users and lead to them being stalked/blackmailed but they have given no response whatsoever. Tried to mention/message them on social media, did an email blast with guesses at their CEOs email (didn't bounce back like security@ did), and as a last resort their CS line. Even their CS simply closed the ticket without even a response, so I'm at a loss on how to proceed.

I've considered going to someone like Krebs, but I'm extremely hesitant to simply because of what could happen if this gets out without being patched.
It's largely true though, how is it not? Free is either a loss leader for something else that's paid, like a demo, or you're the product. However I agree that paid users are still often a product.

Paying apple doesn't stop them from selling ads on your phone, same with samsung smart tvs etc.
> because that only scales so far (but surprisingly far for diligent admins)

Surprisingly far. We log terabytes of data a day, most of it is unnecessary. I've been trying to tell people that it is not a good idea but so far I've had limited success. It's easy for people to just "printf" everything (we are lucky if logging libraries are used with proper levels).

Right now, we have the most expensive 'add' operation in history. K8s pod logs some data. That is eventually noticed by fluentd, which is watching the filesystem. Fluentd sends to our logging servers over the network. That goes to kafka, then is shipped to the system that actually does the indexing. And then, there's a query running, which will then count the number of times that string appeared and updates a counter.

All of which could have been avoided if the apps just added +1 to a counter, and exposed that as /metrics so Prometheus could scrape.
They definitely are VPNs, just a specific subset of use cases of a VPN.
There are other sources of this exact same info, and this source is far more on the lean side then anything I’ve ever seen. It’s not something I can share because the subscription is not mine, but I am sure others can back me up on this.

I didn't mean to imply that the 787 ran critical infrastructure on Windows 95, just to give an example of a system which was affected by a timer overflow of about that duration.
Michael's use was congruent with exigency's meaning--there was no reason for samfbiddle to suggest Michael didn't understand the word, particularly while ignoring Michael's actual point (that Officer Turner wasn't the department's spokesperson). samfbiddle's comment was neither proper nor appropriate.

Note also that samfbiddle similarly accused another commenter upthread of not reading his article (without evidence) despite that the commenter's criticism was congruent with a reading of the article (i.e., there was no reason for samfbiddle to assume that the critic hadn't read his article, and anyway voicing as much violates the site guidelines).
I don't trust Apple either.
It would indeed be an outstanding catastrophe if 200 years of the most incredible scientific and technological progress yielded a worse result. Of course, that is entirely not the point (none of the times this trope comes out). What is being argued is that 2022 as it is is worse than 2022 as it could be.

In other words: things improved because of technology and despite the societal/economic framework, not because of it.
The results seem so clinical or academic now. I want to read what freaks write. I often add the word reddit to my search or other platforms tags to get more opinionated and personal content.
Ask HN: Where to Start with Text Search?
Hello! I'm currently planning out a project to ingest a large library of ebooks, index them for searching and then exposing it all in a web API. Ideally this would have some sort of contextual or semantic search.

Does anyone have recommendations for where to start or technologies to research?

Thanks in advance!
I'm fully in support of exhausting namespaces in programming languages. It's really annoying that people keep making one-off projects with weird names that reinvent the wheel.

In CPAN, you create a module with a hierarchical name (Net::LDAP), and people inherit from it and extend the namespace to add new functionality (Net::LDAP::Batch). Finding a package that does what you want is [relatively] easy. Old code gets maintained rather than somebody reinventing it for the 72nd time with a hodge-podge of functionality.
I don't know if you'd call it a "good" reason because its a rare skill to have, but for pilots the NDB beacons and VOR beacons usually transmit their ID in morse code, so you're a button press away from being certain you actually tuned in the correct navigation beacon.

Slightly improved situational awareness when navigating is probably more of a method to avoid a survival situation, than to be a survival situation itself.
Because this lottery is, by intentional design, increasing the gap in outcome due to luck that's actually relevant to the typical American's life (the one amongst neighbors and friends).

You get this for free in (2). You couldn't "reason about programs" if F were inconsistent, nor would the halting problem make any sense in an inconsistent system.
Looks like nearly half of the founders surveyed are running companies with 5 or less employees. I wonder if this skews the average way down for the whole sample set. For example, if you look at the salaries reported by founders of companies with teams >25 the average salary is much higher.
Do they not make them anymore at any price? Like inflation adjusted how much did the tools cost back in the day vs now?

> overall this is real but, how should people of conscience act?

You mean people of privilege who want to ease their conscience? Talk is cheap, either donate your money or donate your time. Enough of the "raising awareness" bullshit. Talking about the problems other people have is the cheapest most useless way somebody with privilege could possibly ease their conscience. It should be mocked, not encouraged.
If the issuer is well-regulated and the funds are kept in a regulated bank (or held in US Treasuries) then what you're doing is "tokenizing" existing banking infrastructure. This makes it easier for participants to quickly settle transactions and move fiat balances, without having to work through slow ACH-type networks or place major trust in their counterparties.

There are still some risks (company will get hacked, executives will go rogue, banks won't be prepared for a major run) but these are fundamentally the sort of risks that the US banking industry has some experience with. These risks have nothing to do with what's going on at Tether: they don't seem to be regulated at all.

Swimming trunks/swimsuit. Clean indoor trainers for basketball/volleyball/circuit training/etc, or scruffy outdoor ones for cross-country running, orienteering or anything muddy outside. In winter they may need to take something warmer if there's outdoor activities planned, some locations in the north or near mountains may even do skiing or cross-country skiing. In our school in winter time we sometimes did scottish country dancing, so you didn't really need "normal" P.E. class gear if that's what was on.

I don't know what this school in particular offered but there's a bunch of possibilities.
Yeah. I don't quite remember now, but I think many of the packages don't work if you don't have a separate /usr/local fs, since the packages need wxallowed.

Unless you want to enable wxallowed on / or /usr.

Then of course there's the fact that they don't do journalling. It's not my expertise but if literally everyone is doing journalling instead of softdep, then maybe they're right.

I've used OpenBSD off and on since 2.1, and I've experienced much more data loss on it than on Linux. So yeah I'm also not a fan of OpenBSD's filesystems.

I feel like OpenBSD don't have enough staffing to do the right things (e.g. Wayland, Bluetooth), so instead they try to do what they can, but right.

Which is fair enough, but will become more and more like retro computing for every year that passes.
In re: #1 that's the kind of discussion I could have all day. (If you take the state of the machine including the filesystem, then almost all non-networked programs could be treated as pure functions, eh?)

Presumably you want to get a certain amount of money out of this.

The lower bound should be enough to provide this. Bearing in mind that an hourly rate never translates into the salary you think it should. Probably half your hours are going to be billable hours.

The other way to look at it is that no one is being forced to use your services. You may think $1000/hr is crazy but if it's worth it for a business to pay for it, they will. If not, they won't.

Ultimately your rate is going to be somewhere between the minimum you need, and the maximum they will pay. I don't really have good answers beyond that. You could argue starting high, and lowering your charges is better because it's always easier to lower prices. On the other hand if you want to attract customers, lower prices are better.

Ultimately it comes down to the specifics of your local market and niche.

I've been in this situation before, setting my hourly rate too low. And I eventually ended walking away because it wasn't worth it for me.

The Quest Pro is, literally, the “further”, outside of games. Check out the keynote! As was stated in that keynote, there's still a long way to go.

I don't think this perspective that meta is responsible for all the software makes sense. They're building a platform/framework for everyone to innovate, not just themselves.
