Ask HN: Interesting Jobs Outside of Tech
With recent layoffs and more potentially looming, if it happens to me, I plan on taking a sabbatical and trying something new. I don't really care about pay or high salary. What are some interesting jobs outside of corporate tech that one could explore? Missing more sociability (WFH for 8 years), working with hands/using my body, getting outdoors, etc.

I understand its highly geographic in nature, but some ideas that I've had: GIS tech (get to combine programming and getting outside ... maybe, I bet alot of GIS gigs are 100% office based now), fishermen (lots of commercial fishing jobs around here), Woodworking/carpenter (local unions and trade schools around where I am), working on a ski resort (not an expert skier, but there are other interesting jobs, like snowmaking).
The core of the issue here was not ponzinomics, it was the exchange gambling directly with user funds, by way of unsecured loans to a hedge fund controlled by the founders.

Fraud? Yes. But users weren’t buying into a ponzi, they were using a centralized exchange product with the understanding that reserves were whole, when in reality they were secretly fractional reserves.

I’m not sure what you mean by this exactly. Many of the things they said to the public are not true, but these currencies use permanent, public ledgers, so you can see where the money goes if you look carefully.
yeah crypto deposits don't have the same protections as securities which is why you don't want to leave them in an exchange wallet. I'm going to guess somewhere in here there's enough for a fraud charge though. I don't know enough to explain why, but my hunch is he didn't lose all this money by going around and making honest mistakes.
Yes except this lawsuit has nothing to do with Apple authorized resellers. It is about "third-party merchants" on Amazon, who can be literally anyone. If I – having no prior agreement with Apple – decided to sell my iPad on Amazon, they would remove my listing because Apple didn't approve of it.

I don't know about it, Binance has become a gold standard in crypto exchange business. Here on HN it was always about Coinbase likely because its an American company but for the rest of the world, it's all about Binance and the rest of the world is huge. How huge? About an order of magnitude to Coinbase.

If Binance goes, crypto isn't coming back.
I hate to seem condescending, but the "why" is basically what the essay is about for the first 75%. The issue that advertisements have is that the incentives and desires of advertisers usually misaligns with users, sometimes greatly. It's not a concept that's particularly new; for example, take Wikipedia's reasoning for not accepting advertisements. (I'd like to ignore the unrelated issues with Wikipedia funding here, since it's not relevant to this particular point.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Funding_Wikipedia_th...

I don't believe direct sales fixes everything. There's no single party whose ultimate wishes are fully aligned with what's best for everyone. I do think, however, that direct sales and donations are preferable to ads in this regard.
Counterfeiting of clothing (particularly Nike and other branded sportswear) was rampant on Amazon for years before the six-letter Chinese sellers of electronics showed up. Some of it was actually quite well-done, but still easy to demonstrate by cross-referencing tag information.

I just signed up and tried it a little bit and I like what I see so far. I find myself increasingly frustrated with Google search results for a particular use case: searching for documentation. For example, today's work had me thinking about Python's datetime and timedelta and I wanted a reference on what functions are available. With Google I am annoyed with results from geeksforgeeks.org and freecodecamp.com because they are not reference materials and generally only cover some basic use cases. In Google, those two sites are in the top four results. In Kagi, they are not. Instead, there is a longer-form blog post from guru99.com, stack overflow, and the official Python documentation.

Now, I will admit that for this particular query Kagi and Google results are pretty close. But my general experience is that when I search in Google I find that I have to look farther down the search results to look past the blogspam to find the authoritative reference.

If your decisions lead to 11,000 people losing their jobs, and you "take responsibility for that", then you should be 11,001.

Depends on the bot. I like debating because it helps me formalize and explore different aspects of my ideas. If a bot is good at playing that role it would be great, especially if I knew it was a bot and could run it locally (and that it was free software).
I don't think latency and jitter are big issues. If you're imagining VOIP packets flowing through the Erlang app, it's more likely that they are routed by hardware at a lower level. The Erlang app controls the lower level switches. I don't know about Ericsson switches in particular, but I've worked on telecom stuff (not programmed in Erlang, unfortunately) and that's how it worked. The low level routing was done by FPGA's controlled by a C program. The C program could have been written in Erlang instead, and that would have made life a lot nicer for the programmers.

Depending on what "not long ago" means, that's pretty unfortunate timing. You should reach out to them. They've been pushing updates and features for V1 for a long time and have an established track record for being a company that isn't nickel-and-diming people. The line does have to be drawn somewhere though. Long term users have known this was coming, but I can see how the short/mid term user might feel pinched.
I have dealt with lots of programmer hoarding, the "we might decide to bring this back someday" sort of thing. Yes I know source control would handle that in theory, but it's just not the same sense of security as having it right there.

I finally made an extra repo just for hoarding, where I could toss old crap and assure people that it's safe and sound.

> Ruby is quicker than Python

Python is slow as shit too. I would never use either language in a user path production environment.

> fork processes

Forking a process takes upwards of 50ms vs forking a thread is in microseconds. That might not seem like a lot, but a use will be able to tell the difference between a 50ms page load time and a 150ms page load time. Also, multi processing is not optimal for sharing memory like a local cache.

My ultimate point is there’s truly no reason to use these languages when Java, Go, and Rust are around
Git's interface is like the 'find' UNIX command: it makes complex things possible, but does nothing to make common ones easy. 99% of times I want to find a file in the current directory or below:

Similarly, if so many users add -a to their git commands, why is this relegated to such an ugly flag?

> Haskell is basically a category theory framework.

Haskell probably draws more from category theory than any other mainstream language, but in absolute terms that's still not very much. It's okayish for modelling cartesian closed categories, but if you want any more structure than that things get quite painful. Even something as simple as a category with finitely many objects requires stupid amounts of type-level boilerplate.
The thing they do with posts.json, except dynamically from links discovered on a page. I did look, I don't think its possible.

Anyway its subjective, I don't like Cypress.
It does, mostly because people don’t have context to judge the severity of their own tendencies.

Psychology is kind of a mess.

A great many disorders are on a spectrum from normal variation to truly severe, disabling symptoms.

We also don’t know enough to definitively identify the causes
of a person’s disorder. For example, many cases of depression are caused by circumstances. In those cases, depression may be an expected result. Other cases are inherited genetic defects, which no amount of circumstance can fix.

Edit: definitely -> definitively
Honestly, I think this is a really dumb move by Binance. They have taken a look under the hood, determined that FTX is bankrupt and then told everyone that is the case. Now there's going to be a widespread crypto panic that is going to cause other exchanges to collapse, and ultimately I expect Binance too will go down.

It sounds all great and I agree that we should be prepared to pay for quality services instead of expecting everything to be free (so I will have a look at kagi). But this promise makes me skeptical: Twitter is apparently going to lose money on their "$8/m for half the ads" deal with US users because the ads make more money than that for them. Sure, paying for your services is going to mitigate the incentive problem, but it might not fully eliminate it. Of course, kagi has a reputation to lose with its users, so that is another line of defence, but I guess the best way to build such trust would be to be maximally transparent, even about the incentive structures.

Take my downvote. "Psychological experiments" on users is what every company; user and market research. Enabling "psyops" is simply building a platform; this isn't the first platform that his been misused or scraped for other purposes. You get spam robo dialers? It wasn't from meta... etc. etc. etc.
You could probably hide that from anything but a deep dive by chucking the data through a websocket. Unless you see and recognise the initial socket connection you may miss it entirely.

Quite. And may I add: lmao
Yeah but the collapse of those exchanges drove down the price of the coins. Even if its your keys and your coins those coins become worth less money than they were before.
The author quotes Page and Brin's original paper:

> “Currently, the predominant business model for commercial search engines is advertising. The goals of the advertising business model do not always correspond to providing quality search to users. For example, in our prototype search engine one of the top results for cellular phone is “The Effect of Cellular Phone Use Upon Driver Attention”, a study which explains in great detail the distractions and risk associated with conversing on a cell phone while driving. This search result came up first because of its high importance as judged by the PageRank algorithm, an approximation of citation importance on the web [Page, 98].

A search for cellular phone now returns a page of links to plans, and one link to Wikipedia.
Yeah, smart move - lose 15% a day, rather than 9% a year through inflation.
It wasn't. They just ran with significantly less staff (iirc, less than 30). If they wanted you, they got in touch.

FTX wasn't a scam either. Their business was a licence to print money but, as so often happens in finance, managed to spin shit from gold.

That sounds like a clear no, you already know the answer to the hypothesized A/B test.

As for the other aspects they sound like great targets for testing within different use-cases, but I'm not sure why that'd be an A/B test as we think of them now.
You are missing the forest for the trees by confusing the end result with its implementation.

The idea between having a declarative configuration vs a traditional one is well understood in the context of a machine. In one case, you describe how you want the final machine to look like and let the system decides how to reach that states, in the other you yourself input how the state will be changed step by step to reach the final stage. Sure the declarative configuration really is a DSL and there is an interpreter somewhere turning it into a step by step list of actions but that’s invisible to the end user.

It’s not magic just abstracted. That’s the good old Wheeler aphorism: “ There is no problem in computer science that can't be solved using another level of indirection.”
Spoiler:

OP defines the functions `<<<<<<<`, `=======`, and `>>>>>>>` to make this work.

Still cool, but shows it has to be intentional, there's no chance that your code will randomly compile cleanly with conflict markers.
People bought cryptocoins in 2021 to "offset inflation". That did not go well for them.

Your stock example is not what was described though.

You're not selling Bitcoin and then buying USDT. You're buying USDT with Bitcoin.

With your stock example, you can't buy shares of Apple stock using your Google stock. It has to go to fiat first which is a taxable event.

I saw that too. Seems pretty high. I also think their plan of hoping future users search less on average is probably bad. I would want users to use my product more and I definitely wouldn't want to have an incentive to make users use it less. If the company is basically default dead unless usage drops... That seems really bad.

If I were them I would be focusing on: How do we get to 8k searches for a dollar?
