Generally, never quit before having a new job accepted. Sticking out awful scenarios is a thing, unfortunately. Hiring managers/committees can discard applicants just for having job lapses. (Not saying they should just that it’s a danger.)

One thing that finally did it for me in a similarly awful situation was I took an immediate two week vacation. I spent that time resting (for 1-2 days) and applying for work. That included doing a drastic rewrite of my resume and how I presented myself to positions. Write detailed cover letters after finding out what places needed to see in them. It took time but I started in a new job in about 4 months.
and then there is basecamp and you wonder whether maybe there's "experience" and ... experience. (though I agree that regulations and fitting to markets just requires people)

Splitwise does this also, do you have a competitive advantage over them?
You can block gift cards in most payment gateways, I imagine you could do similar with Apple's system.

There also is mixed evidence that Eli Lilly's stock actually went down from the tweet, given it reacted hours after the tweet and never recovered (usually fake news items effecting price will immediately correct back to the previous trading level.)

Several articles I read about it bury this deep in the article, basically alluding to "we'll never actually know why the stock went down." I would imagine their new Alzheimer's drug looming had more to do with it, but idk. It also becomes slightly questionable about if a quant, etc fund would not know the difference between accounts, when you really think about it...it sounds improbable.
If you "hacked" a system, I would assume the first thing you'd do is patch any of your own known exploits, and others, so you don't lose ownership to some other hacker, right?
I think you are touching on the aspects of scale (how much data collected) and harm (how it is used against us). Another important aspect is time since the older the data is, the less valuable it is to corporations and governments. Debate between which corporations are better or worse comes down to trust and PR. Some people believe that all publicly traded corporations are structurally incapable of protecting users over profits.
In this situation it was stuff that would be terrible both with and without caching, that didn't have much to do with caching itself, just the caching just provided a bit of a bandaid. I think the more apt metaphor might be "seatbelts make people drive recklessly".

Would fast computers also be an attractive nuiscense because you dont have to think about performance as much?
Go compiler is garbage by the design. A 20 year old C compiler does not have this prob. This is also why Go have declined so much during the last couple of years. The benefits of Go have not increased and most of the quirks are still there. Like the error handling, the naive compiler and the syntax sugar that somewhat hides the diff between pointers and direct heap allocs.

Lots of NR and Niacin boosterism that should be treated with skepticism.

The timing of this post is interesting as the FDA has just banned NMN in the US... which seems fortuitous to certain biotech companies & promoters.

That is a gross cynical misrepresentation.

He appears to me to be a financial geek, interested in the mechanics of finance for its own sake, and who finds comedy (often dark comedy) in the mechanics of our financial systems.

Philosophically, we can’t be 100% sure of his motivations to publish his insights, but everything of his that I have read points to the reason primarily being that he finds it fascinating, a nearly purposeless academic joy.

That really depends on the age group. The chances of someone under 30 having any real negative effects to Covid is virtually 0, while there is some evidence pointing to males under the age of 30 having issues with the vaccine.

Dystopian, actually. It promotes (and depends on) a nihilistic view that trust cannot be built, that it can only decline over time. This may be true or false. But it's not 'utopian'.
If stock-based compensation information is made public to investors, what's the problem with it? I don't see why compensating people in stock rather than cash makes it a "systemically dysfunctional culture".
Quite a bit of vaccine drama is not political but either mistrust of the system or alternate beliefs. Here is an anecdote - My family has a bunch of anti-vaxers who have not had a single dose of COVID vaccine yet and claim they have never gotten COVID. These are highly educated (masters in engineering) and hard left leaning (Bernie/AOC supporters.) They also mostly reject modern medicine and believe in Homeopathy. So much so that their toddler had a pretty bad fall that almost cut his tongue in half but they refused to take the kid to emergency room and treated him with some homeopathy chart of medicines they keep in their home. Their family doctor convinced their elderly mom to get the vaccine and now the mom claims to have gotten nut allergy from the vaccine. Their mom is pretty left leaning too.
I worked on quant buy side for a long time and you dont just automatically come out of these places knowing one secret to making money trading. equally smart on paper people might be working on message passing, risk management, data analysis, special projects, also trading, simulator, database, and might spend 5 years in-house and not come away from the experience with knowledge which by itself represented major alpha.

for me just knowing how to setup a quant trading firm, how to choose prime brokers, how to find and select vendors, leased lines, how to setup paper work, cap intro relationships, exchange memberships, FIX certs, are of equal value as alpha tricks, and really I dont even see a lot of evidence that the Almeda / FTX people were particularly well-seasoned in any respect.
It's directly addressed in the linked Marketwatch article that the table comes from, in the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs after that table. The "Funds Raised" column is startup funds. It does not include additional funding rounds, selling stock, debt, etc.

No, those countries initially gave the Covid injections to all adults, then altered their recommendations to exclude some young adults, based on post-vaccine adverse events.

> All three countries based their decision on an unpublished study with Sweden’s Public Health Agency saying that it signals “an increased risk of side effects such as inflammation of the heart muscle or the pericardium” — the double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the main vessels. It added: “The risk of being affected is very small.”
What are you basing these claims on? What ICE cars is the Leaf outperforming?

Nobody considers an 8 second 0-60 time to be fast. The MSRP on the Leaf starts at $28,000. And for that price, you can get a base model Accord that is 2 seconds faster 0-60.

What other ICE cars did you drive to compare the driving experience? (I bet you didn't even drive any.)

Please tell me how you came to the conclusion that your Leaf is more reliable than an Accord. I don't want to hear how there are less moving parts. Stats on your reliability claim.

What the hell is "overall performance"? The Leaf outperforms ICE cars on "overall performance?" What does that mean?

The linked article mentions the Riemann hypothesis, but the author claims to have proven the Landau-Siegel conjecture https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-03689-2, which is weaker than the Riemann hypothesis. An impressive result, nevertheless (if confirmed to be valid).
Now try to actually do that in a larger program without static lifetimes...
The risk from myocarditis from getting Covid-19 is higher than getting it from the vaccine. The decision to vaccinate even young people made sense during the height of the pandemic and it doesn't make so much sense now anymore.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - Trans medicine is a massive revenue opportunity and shareholders would do well to maximize this.

Charging people a permanent lifelong subscription fee for being who they identify as - might be the single largest healthcare revenue generator in history.

Imagine if the population of trans folks increased from its current nominal level to, say, 5% of all humans. That would be a lifelong subscription plan for a subscriber base larger than the USA. To my knowledge this is currently unprecedented as far as subscription medicine models go.
Indeed. There's a reason FTX had a spread charged of 0.1% while more legitimate (hopefully) operations such as Coinbase and Kraken charge around 10x as much. If they're not making their money there, where exactly are they taking...err, making it from?
Adding Jellyfin to the mix was the best thing I’ve done for my Kodi setup. I agree re transcoding - overused these days - I keep all that disabled

Jellyfin-Kodi gives fast and automatic library updates - no waiting 5 minutes for ‘update library’ on large collections - new content appears automatically. Also some nice QoL improvements like synced progress, slightly better metadata fetching, automatic subtitle fetching

I just converted something from libuv to asio and, while it has some advantages, it's definitely a huge dependency. And asio, perhaps in order to be standards-compliant, doesn't even do DNS asynchronously. I'd love a cleaner solution. My one painful requirement supporting both Linux and MacOS. Would you consider adding a kqueue implementation?
That's just some dummy language in the deed and not the actual transfer of value. Almost every deed is for around $1 even if the sale price says millions. In the U.S. at least it doesn't matter what you put on the deed, either way they will tax you based on the actual value of the transfer.

I posted in that thread - saw a cardiologist and they confirmed it. In retrospect, it was probably the worst illness I've ever had, being completely out of commission for a month at age 29, where even doing simple things like rolling over in bed would cause my heart rate to spike and cause me to be short of breath. Couldn't do anything but lay there. Luckily a scan confirmed no long term damage.

For some reason still decided to get the third booster.. and I still ended up getting COVID twice (very mild both times). Don't think I'll be getting any more COVID vaccines.
Enoki: A Collaboration Tool for Developers
Hi Hacker News. I’m Abdoulaye Diallo–A Co-Founder at Enoki (https://www.enoki.so/). We are building the first multiplayer collaboration tool for developers. If you spend your day context switching on your local computer, pair programming in Zoom with one mouse cursor, or copy/pasting code on Slack, Enoki is for you.

Enoki was started with the advent of remote work, permanently changing how collaboration works. A simple debug involved way too much back and forth between colleagues. Enoki functions similar to a google doc. The moment you need to get a teammate to look over your code, all you have to do is click the share button and they will join your remote session. Focus on resolving your bug and deploying your code.

Our first open-source release, Aither, is a multiplayer remote desktop that runs any version of Linux. Our beta is the first containerized multiplayer desktop environment. By utilizing Tailscale, we can make this desktop accessible to any user on the same Tailscale network that it is authenticated to. We have a demo on how to get it installed here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmAuGX1FmcU).

We look forward to seeing what you will build on Enoki. If you enjoy what you see, we would love to get feedback from you at founders@enoki.so or follow us on the below social media platforms:

Twitter: https://twitter.com/Enoki_Inc
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/enoki-inc/

I probably qualify as "pantheistic" --- but I don't believe in a personal God who loves me, listens to me and guides my existence. And neither do most other "pantheists". If they do, they are mis-classifying themselves.

I believe that truth is stronger than a lie.

I believe in doing unto others as they do unto me out of enlightened self interest--- not because of any reward or punishment. It is fundamentally fair and makes the world a better place for everyone.

I believe that people who claim to know the unknowable are mainly just fooling themselves.
Because recession is looming over us, I recommend looking while keeping your job. Since you are a junior dev, companies that lay off folks or go into a hiring freeze typically want to hire senior devs.

You can start by brushing up your resume and working on side projects that bring you joy while keeping your skills up to date, practicing interviewing and, more importantly, taking care of your mental health.

Then you can start listing down companies you are interested in going for and interviewing at companies that you like less first and interviewing at companies you like more so you can learn from the former and apply in the latter.
Let's say you went on a weekend trip by car with a group of friends. On this trip someone paid for the gas, another paid for the hotel and another paid for the dinner and drinks after. You can split every single expense immediately and pay your friends or you keep a weekend trip tab on which everyone logs whatever they paid for. Our app is the latter. I hope this explains the use case better. If you have any further questions I would be glad to answer them.
Are we now sure that's really what happened?

I'd be too worried about getting charged with wire fraud or something personally.

The level of vitriol from the commenters here is honestly frightening.

If the Commission was proposing a law mandating that cars have seat-belts, people would be jumping in to shout "Europe is destroying free enterprise, they're trying to destroy small car-makers!"

Seriously, when you look at the list of concerned software, you have password managers, operating systems, certificate infrastructure, remote access software, industrial IoT, etc. For any software in these categories, it's not completely insane to think that "This software is provided as-is with no warranty whatsoever, good luck!" doesn't quite cut it.

And yes, open-source is concerned as well, when it's part of a commercial activity. Again, if you're being paid to provide software, it seems fair to say you're leaving the "lobbyist" category and entering the "paid professional" category and you have to worry about security requirements. Especially given that, outside of the critical projects mentioned above, you're allowed to display the CE mark if you self-audit.

Are there deeper discussions to be had here, concerns to be addressed, etc? Absolutely. I think a critical point is how "commercial activity" is defined. A threshold of gross revenue could be an interesting solution.

Are these deeper discussion happening in this thread? No. It's all "Europe hates innovation" and "I hate the EC and cookie banners so much!" Most commenters seem to automatically assume that any level of regulation is automatically going to drown small businesses and favor FAANG-scale corporations, which is more extreme than even the article calling out the regulation.
Interesting, I had never heard of this tip before. How do you do this though? Do you just add it at the end like a flag? (e.g. "sparking water -best" ?) In general, I thought these kinds of search engine commands were being phased out, but it looks to me like it would filter out those garbage articles that would bring up results like "top/best 15 brands of sparkling water" etc.
As much as i hate it, the vast majority of websites are sitting on shared hosts. I've worked with plenty of tech companies where developers built apps on a public cloud, but the landing page was managed by a marketing team and therefore WordPress on godaddy or bluehost.
"Cumulative losses" is meaningless in the way they are using the term. You need many, many more datapoints to judge the overall health and value of a company. And even after that you are likely going to be wrong in your prediction.

Uber raised $25 billion and is worth $60 billion in public markets today. By what criteria is it a bigger failure (or a failure at all) over Theranos, FTX and thousands of other companies that raised a significant amount of money and are worth exactly $0?
Yes that is looking at one rule in isolation. I am a lawyer and in ethics classes they expand on many rules and many situations in detail. Some other conflicting interests include duties to the court and legal professional privilege. Example client can tell you to do something that is against the interests of the administration of justice. when they insist you have to resign.
hilariously the font that Twitter uses has capital-i look the same as lowercase-L, so when @AppIeOfCA tweeted as a verified account, it was really hard to distinguish from the real @AppleOfCA account.

In theory, the best way to manage this situation may be with a grayzone - if all is well, then there's only a (say) 5% chance of going to cache. (To at least catch "the cache is broken" errors sooner.) As things get worse, that chance goes up as you cross-fade to mostly using the cache.

Important Warning: If you do not have a very good understanding of your overall system, or neglect to carefully dampen the cross-fade functions - then the whole thing can demonstrate fast and unpredictable swings in behavior. Note that being subpoenaed to testify in a "Why did the Crater City chemical plant blow up?" investigation is usually bad for one's career.
Unless you want to earn your money as a content creator, don't write pages for that purpose. Write pages to describe your product. IMHO, by all means make sure that you include relevant keywords in those pages.

Google for example seems to much prefer unified sites with a purpose which is not just capturing traffic for the sake of it, eg for ad revenue.

Dog, tail, wagging!

> wish I could find it, but google is insistent on working against me here

Bing/DuckDuckGo go is much better for anything with a negative vaccine sentiment. I stopped using Google altogether, because of the pandemic, after repeatedly watching news articles and research papers disappear from search results. I want a list, not a guided experience.
>If you just do a basic per-capita analysis the reduced risk of death is in the range 5-16x

I am not questioning that, but couldn't that 5-16x be contributed to the latest strains being far less deadly that the first few strains, much better and accessible treatments (monoclonal antibodies), safer hospital practices (not putting people on ventilators so quickly/easily), etc.? How can we be so sure that the majority of that 5-16x was from vaccination?
I'm not sure how it causes it but it seems that it does:

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7035e5.htm

> During March 2020–January 2021, patients with COVID-19 had nearly 16 times the risk for myocarditis compared with patients who did not have COVID-19, and risk varied by sex and age.

> To minimize potential bias from vaccine-associated myocarditis (6), 277,892 patients with a COVID-19 vaccination record in PHD-SR during December 2020–February 2021 were excluded.
With all the unspoken but obvious disdain for the ridiculous cryptocurrency schemes, I wonder if the HN crowd will recognize the elephant in the room here.

TFA illustrates that the venture capital/startup tech scene is arguably the biggest Ponzi scheme in the last 20+ years.

Even ignoring the financial losses, most of these companies have operated in a gray or fully illegal manner. So imagine that the financials don't work and the legalities don't work... and yet this is our HN universe.

Edit: (added) sorry to offend those of you who work for Uber or other companies which operate on fantasy funding with no actual profitable business model; sometimes I forget the illusion is so strong and people immersed don't know better.
When stocks and real estate are inflated and you fear a crash, isn't it better to put your money in bonds, CDs, etc?
Are people aware that impersonating a company’s customer is, like, fraud and opens them up to being sued for damages when something like this happens?

There are kind of two things that happened, here. One is a kind of rushed implementation of a questionable feature. The other is a breakdown of social taboo of just violating the law and/or acting in a damaging way.

We all know that spam and bots are rampant on the Internet. But people providing their valid credit card numbers to then impersonate another company for trolling purposes is something that could happen in lots of cases but held in check by people knowing they’d be sued or arrested/fined. Exactly like vandalism.

(And there’s maybe an ethical case to be made for direct action/civil disobedience, but legally that’s not a valid excuse so there’s definitely risk of being sued and/or arrested.)
