Indeed. Not to mention that such assumption ignores the risks for personal health.

Plenty of startups go bankrupt and plenty of founders experience burnout, back pain, RSI etc.

Very few people can work 40+ full hours hunched on a keyboard for 3-4 decades.
Speculation, but it appears from the books that the reason FTX was so fast is because they never actually bought or sold any user assets and would just report it as bought and sold on their website.
DEI needs to DIE.

I have never seen a good candidate get turned away for being a minority. I have however seen bad candidates get extra chances for being a minority, and good candidates who are not a minority be reconsidered due to not being a minority. I personally opted out of interview processes for the last 2 years with how rascist and absurd hiring became.

Meanwhile, opposition to DEI within the company is a fast track to losing favor internally. It is incredibly hard to push back against without being the asshole. It's self reassuring nonsense that protects itself with its own undeserved smugness.
When used with 2 arguments, e.g. `a ≢ b`, it indeed is called "not match", i.e. are `a` and `b` the same. When used with 1 argument, `≢ a` it will give you the number of elements.

It seems the social licence for BIG TECH is slipping and there is a deep absence of trust. This seems to be coming at a good time, especially with renewed interested in open tech approaches like the fediverse.

> This is possibly the biggest financial crisis in the history of everything.

Isn't that a huge hyperbole? I really don't see how it could even remotely resemble anything at all what it was like in 2008. It's no more than a footnote in practically every single country other than the US (and there probably too).
HTML can be easier to read though.

> Why are we assuming it would go to salaries?

Because companies generally budget for total compensation and then divide between salary and perks, and because employees generally compare offers using total compensation rather than just salary.

> This line of reasoning makes any workplace perk into an act of infantilisation

Of course it can, but it exists on a spectrum. Things like 401(k) matching and healthcare and toilet paper aren't infantilizing because they're cheaper or have tax benefits when provided through the company, and most people use them. So they're simply a win-win. On the other hand, if a company provides a lower salary but free housing, that can be extremely infantilizing since a big part of adult autonomy is balancing a lot of factors in choosing where to live.

Things like free meals, rec rooms, laundry, and haircuts are generally more on the infantilizing side of things, since a lot of employees would just prefer cash instead. Lunches provided at-cost can make a lot of sense though when restaurants are far away though -- it's not infantilizing because you still pay for lunch, but it's win-win because the company isn't making a profit off of you like restaurants do.
Did you replace your rear pad and/or? I put one of those like... skateboard style ones on the back, might be changing what I'm doing to steer/the feel of it. Board control is for sure different.

They're also solving a somewhat different problem, namely "make it to the next funding round without thinking more than a year into the future". A company which already has solid funding may well have plans on the multi-year timeframe, and should probably try to avoid burning out its people.

So we've got a system that backs up to an XML file nightly. I noticed a couple weeks ago the bucket was using a not-insignificant amount of disk space.

These XML files are full backups rather than deltas - so each one contains the full previous file plus the new additional data.

My assumption was if I grabbed just a swath of the old ones, say a years worth and compressed them together I would get really decent savings.

I was pretty disappointed - gzip knocked 10 gb off of about 100 gb of data. I started doing some research and found people saying 7zip and it's sliding dictionary size options were the answer. After multiple tries, each run of 7zip taking multiple days I was able to get it down to about 70 gigabytes from 100. Better then gzip but frankly nowhere near what I would expect.

Does there exist a compression that could better handle this sort of expanding documents?
At least 1TB in storage required?
If they include personal information, then they absolutely are (a quick search for "GDPR user generated content" is enlightening). If I posted my full name and address in this comment, I believe a GDPR deletion request would indeed legally require HN to delete it (if I lived in the EU, that is, which I don't).

And that's the problem: the vast majority of HN posts probably don't include personal information. But if someone were to submit a GDPR deletion request to HN, does HN really want to spend the time auditing perhaps hundreds or thousands of comments in order to determine what has personal information in it and what doesn't? And then also making a judgment as to whether the entire comment would need to be deleted, or if only part of it needed to be redacted? So I'd completely understand if HN would comply by deleting all comments.

(I'm intentionally ignoring the fact that it's unclear if the EU could even enforce the GDPR against HN/YC, as I'm not sure if they have any business entities in the EU. Certainly the GDPR as written tries to be extraterritorial in its demands, but enforcement is another matter. HN/YC are of course subject to the CCPA, though.)
I agree about Amazon, but I've definitely heard FB thrown about as rest-and-vest regularly since IPO, and that's the impression I've gotten from developers I've met working there since.

Opal Apple Review - "A Tasty Unwiped Anus"
https://applerankings.com/opal-apple-review/
No one other than a handful of internet commenters gives a shit about Coinbase's stance on internal politics one way or another.

The company is having problems because they have too many employees (5000+), sky-high expenses, and very little revenue (due to falling crypto prices and the implosion of NFTs). If they want to succeed, they need to be making money. It's as simple as that. Cries of "we're getting cancelled!!" isn't going to save the company.
Great article on this, advocating for 40+ hours a week of real work:

I've always tried to operate this way, loans create an obligation, but for when people are uncomfortable with a gift, I lean towards the pay-it-forward approach.

That's not to say there is no place for loans, but for me it has to be with the closest of friends, and when I've been the borrower, I sure as hell want to pay back, when I'm the lender, I'm much less concerned.
Yes, why is this still a question? Look at how productivity relates to wages after inflation adjustment. We have all been robbed for decades.
FWIW, 10 hours of battery life with a discrete GPU enabled is fairly unprecedented. Even the 16" Macbooks that shipped with discrete GPUs would struggle to sustain the CPU and GPU for 5 hours of parallel use.
Which seems easy to confuse. If you don't have good game sense, you'll get into situations where you feel like you need twitch sense, so you'll want to think that's your failing.
Having dummies in charge is too much. Why do we need to dance around discussing work from home, 40 hours, wages, etc.

I like the JetBrains model. You subscribe (annually, in my case), and for as long as you maintain the subscriptions, you get updates. If you cancel, you keep and can use the version you bought forever. The vendor gets recurring revenue, and the customer gets to own their tool.
> Solar can be installed on roofs. Costs go up, but resiliency goes way up and less grid complexity and transport is needed, and it solves the "holy crap how will we charge all these consumer EVs".

Resiliency how? It makes the grid more fragile since cloudy days make for big energy shortages. It also doesn't solve EV charging. Plenty of people charge their EVs at night because they drive during the day. They also want to charge their EVs regardless of weather.

> Storage breakthrough: sodium ion goes into mass production at 140-160wh/kg by CATL next year.

Define "mass" production. For context, the world uses 60 TWh of electricity per day, or about 2,500 GWh of electricity per hour.

The concern with dispatchability is entirely reasonable because energy needs to be supplied when it's in demand, and storage isn't anywhere near the required scale. You can't just hand-wave this away by encouraging homes and businesses to buy storage.

> It's dumb that a natural disaster knocks out power for the entire area because transmission lines go down. With distributed solar and storage, that wouldn't be nearly as bad. Old guard electric can't wrap their heads around a country where every roof has solar doing most / all / surplus power generation.

Quite the contrary. Decentralized power generation actually means more transmission lines to transport energy long distances from the places where it gets generated to the places where energy is in demand. https://www.vox.com/videos/22685707/climate-change-clean-ene...
There is a point here but it doesn't actually matter that much in my opinion. Your point is if you're invested in your work there is no limit to how many hours you put in. I'd tend to agree with this saccharin made-for-TED description.

If I am paid $10/hr for my work I can't eat. My incentives are not aligned. You dont pay me enough to eat.

If I am paid $xxx/hr for my work but I am bound by NDA and non-compete, don't get bonuses in line with product sales (N% of sales go to my check), etc I am not aligned.

The only people "aligned" are the most useless. Sales. Yes, things need to be sold but if the people laboring are not incentivized sales will be useless along with the entire C-suite.

There is no such thing as a "sufficiently incentivized" laborer unless you're paying them a chunk of sales (see: a co-op). Hence why anti-work is such a popular concept even among the highest paid cohorts. Even as developers, we are being robbed blind and are worth far more than they pay. There's a simple test for this: if you work 20 more hours next week will your check potentially go up significantly? If not, your labor is being stolen from you.

They also have different definitions of what productive means. For example, employees may view meetings and such as unproductive whereas the company may view it as a productive part of the decision making process. Organizational & communication overhead is required for working in coordination with large numbers of people in multiple disciplines. However, from the IC employee's perspective it's mostly a distraction and counter productive towards their outputs.

Yes, software copyright and patents are a mistake.
Also, there is an assumption that everyone can be productive for any length of time without some form of intermission to break it up. What if most people need a 5-10 minute break for every 30 minutes work? You might not be able to get around that by just making the daily or weekly work hours shorter. You'd just be applying the productivity factor to fewer total hours.

I doubt we've found the optimal work to rest ratio, but a lot of these assumptions go unchallenged in these discussions.
Reading the summary you linked, it isn't clear if Discord is being fined solely over retaining account information alone, or if that includes comments/messages.
There are two fundamental differences.

1. With email you send messages to a specific, finite list of recipients.

2. With email change of recipient list will not send them past messages whereas once you have access to discord channel you get access to history too.
Note that certain things can cause your code to be un-jitted. If you run into a NPE, for example, what actually happens is the compiled code segfaults. Adding null checks everywhere would be slow, so instead the JVM lets it blow up. When the jitted code segfaults that bytecode goes back into interpreted mode and has to be compiled again w/ updated heuristics.

Still, covering cases like this is easier than writing C. :)
I'm not an accountant ... but is this always true ? Isn't the software that underlies a Stock Exchange looked upon in the same way that, say, the brand value is ? If the development that has now been abandoned had turned out to be raging success wouldn't this have increased the value of the ASX ? And, in that case, wouldn't that software be treated as something which partially constituted the value of the ASX in the same way that patents held by ASX would have a value ?

As I say I'm not an accountant ;-)

Also people had tons of holidays during the middle age in Europe.

Crazy working hours peaked during the industrial revolution when workers had life expectations reaching minimums of 20 years.

Indeed. It should be noted that the Fed Rate / Risk Free Rate / Overnight lending rate is... well... overnight lending. Its the rate you get for a 1-day loan for tomorrow.

Its about as risk-free as you can get. So when the Fed Rate goes from 3% to 3.75% or whatever (for overnight loans), all other loans (ie: riskier 6-month, or 12-month, or 10-year, etc. etc.) have to go up in yields to compensate.

Its difficult to compare Ethereum "staking" with traditional finance, because traditional finance has much better guarantees. My SWVXX and VMFXX money at 3.6% can be withdrawn (or deposited) at 5pm every business day. Its extremely liquid, far more so than Ethereum staking.

Further adding to the complications, Coinbase allows you to trade cbETH (wrapped Ethereum), which is Ethereum that has been staked at Coinbase. Its not entirely clear when cbETH can be withdrawn and turned back into ETH.

Alienware? I suspect you have a dedicated graphics card?

Or any other "performance"-component for that matter, which typically requires proprietary software counterpart (drivers) to run efficiently. Most vendors only ship decent Windows drivers, and the Linux counterpart (if any) is considered "good enough".

I would not consider this the fault of kernel developers. Often there is basically nothing they can do. You just need to look at what hoops the Nouveau-devs have to jump through - colossal effort, little appreciation from users.

Easily detected.

If you use a TLS-inspecting proxy/VPN, this will be detected. Otherwise, it depends on how much monitoring is going on, but at best they could suspect it.

> Copying to physical storage?

At my work, USB drives are disabled by MDM.

You could use transfer the files over SSH. Even if you have an MitM SSH-inspecting VPN, once the SSH channel is established, you could tunnel a second SSH connection through the established insecure SSH session.

Even then, with enough logging, you could detect that all local files were accessed sequentially which would raise a red flag.

There's nothing you can do to prevent insider espionage that wouldn't raise false positives and block legitimate work, but you could at least detect it.

"Generally, a state's exclusive economic zone is an area beyond and adjacent to the territorial sea, extending seaward to a distance of no more than 200 nmi (370 km) out from its coastal baseline."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclusive_economic_zone

"China has by far the largest distant water fleet in the world with at least 3,000 vessels, some of which have been spotted off the coasts of Africa and as far as Ecuador. This has raised concerns of overfishing at a time when global fish stocks are plummeting.
“It’s their strategy of establishing themselves as a big fishing power,” said Matti Kohonen, executive director of the FTC. “Then they end up breaking a lot of fishing laws by doing that."

https://english.alarabiya.net/features/2022/10/26/Chinese-fi...

The issue with a lot of places globally that Chinese owned fishing fleets(of highly questionable legal status) go is that they will decimate the area like a plague of locus and then just like locus they will move on once there is no longer any viable marine wildlife to catch(or even kelp / sea grass to collect). And the local governments either don't have the resources required to patrol their coastal exclusive economic zone or they intentionally don't want to antagonize China by stopping their illegal fishing fleets either because of political corruption or due to other more serious reasons.

Technically the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) can enforce Maritime law but I am not aware of them doing anything about illegal fishing fleets.
