"The privilege I certainly enjoy as a white male consists in part in my not being aware of my ethnicity and my gender, and it is a sobering and revelatory experience to occasionally be made aware of these blind-spots. But, rather than seeking a world in which everyone achieves freedom from identitarian classification, the Vampires’ Castle seeks to corral people back into identi-camps, where they are forever defined in the terms set by dominant power, crippled by self-consciousness and isolated by a logic of solipsism which insists that we cannot understand one another unless we belong to the same identity group."

Also, samsung and Gigabyte build is really cheap plastic. Display is fine for the price.
> Also quite worrying

Linux is used by by docent "security companies" and still has vulnerabilities from time to time. So does Apple in the products where their care about security, etc.

More important are three things to realize:

1. their handling of the incident, which wasn't just fast but you could say absurdly fast to a point that I'm pretty sure multiple employees dropped everything the moment they read the mail to solely focused on fixing and analyzing it

2. it's Windows only (at least it's main problem is), coming from a workaround for a feature "missing" in windows from a company which is relative young and started out in the Linux/UNIX space.

3. it is exploitable due to a fundamental design flaw of browsers

Or what I'm trying to say: It isn't that surprising (or worrying) that such a thing happened, what matters is how they handle it and make sure that it will not happen again.

The problem is methane, which is more potent than CO2.

Feeding the world with animal meat is not sustainable… requires too many resources and creates too much pollution and habitat loss.

Surely there are better ways to feed the world. Plant based is the future and products like beyond meat help with that transition… for those folks who still crave burgers etc.

If you just care about the bottom line, yeah there isn't anything shocking. Wine is real.

> If you think you are likely to attract this kind of attention then you might want to carefully consider which side of the Mossad/not-Mossad threat divide you live on and maybe check your phone isn’t a piece of Uranium.

To be honest, we get something like this kind of attention (Tbps of forged requests / brute-force registration attacks per day), and all we do is provide a free API that's rate-limited per user account for multitenant-QoS reasons. People do all sorts of crazy stuff to try to sneakily drip-register a thousand accounts over several weeks so they can then launch some big job that uses all the keys in tandem to evade the rate limits.

Little do they know, they don't get any benefit from that, even while they're nominally "getting away with it"; doing that just makes our servers fall over! :P

Separately, you should really consider a level between "Mossad" and "not-Mossad": the sorts of people who hack crypto exchanges. They tend to use exactly the kind of "saw it in a movie"-level techniques that you'd think wouldn't happen because "you can just use rubber-hose cryptanalysis." Except if you're a socially-anxious math-genius fifteen-year-old living in Belarus, and there's a cryptosystem that you have unlimited access to a local copy of, maybe the rubber-hose cryptanalysis is actually harder!

> I assume the big brands get part of the way there by mixing old and new wine, though.

I don't think they can - wine is usually sold by vintage year. "Origin" is usually weaker (e.g., 50% of grapes must be from the declared origin) and my understanding is that is where you can "adjust" year-to-year.

I don't get what the "funding" would be used for.

Anyone thinking of buying up Genesis should wait for them to declare bankruptcy, and _THEN_ buy them up when all their assets are cheaper. Why should I put in $1 Billion (or $500 Million, or whatever) into Genesis, when I could just buy up the remains for $300 Million later, for a better deal?

As the sink ships, its value drops more and more. There's no point throwing good money after bad money. Just wait for the bad money to go bankrupt first.

--------

Now lets say I'm "Foobar Cryptofirm" and I gave Genesis $100 Million last year. For Genesis to come up to me today, asking for more money makes me wonder where my old money has gone. Why would I throw even more money away to Genesis?

Well, maybe it can work out. If Genesis truly has enough assets that its "worth saving", then when they show me their books, it will be obvious. But I'd need strong assurances that Genesis would "make" my $100 Million back (in addition to whatever else I invest) to make today's investment worthwhile.

If I've lost hope in that $100 Million, then we're back to the first case, where I should just wait for Genesis to declare bankruptcy then buy its stuff later.

Yeah it is a bit of a strawman, especially as Exhibit B solves this problem (and an inline function would remove the duplication). However as the mention at the end this isn't a serious performance tuning session, or even a serious answer to FizzBuzz, but a way to introduce some Haskell concepts.
Ask HN: Multiple “tech-lead-wannabe” team members?
In my team we have one tech lead and 2 senior software engineers (including myself). We all have many years of experience in the industry, but the only reason the tech lead is the tech lead is because he’s been in the company for 3+ years. The other two seniors have been there for less than a year.

Now, when it comes to architectural/design decisions we all have our opinions and more often than not we agree on them, but at the end of the day there is only one engineer who is actually the main driver of whatever solution we are implementing. That makes a lot of sense because our projects are not huge, but fit nicely in the head of one person. So, we do around 1 big “project” or “epic” every one or two months more or less. So far, roughly 60% of the time is the tech lead the driver (so he proposes a solution, the rest of the team agrees on because it’s a good enough solution, and it’s acknowledged by PMs and EMs that he’s the one who actually solved the problem. We all contribute to the implementation). The other 40% of the time, the other two seniors are the ones who provide and own the solution (roughly 20% each).

In this situation it’s impossible for the other two seniors to become tech lead. There’s just no space for it. Our current tech lead is not gonna quit nor become “Staff engineer” (the next step after Tech Lead) any time soon. If I want to become Staff I need to be Tech Lead first (that’s defined in our career path).

Seems like a dead-end. I think I can get raises without being promoted, but I’m not sure until when.

You have already lost me. This is totally made up and most likely the opposite of the truth, and I would like to see some evidence for this claim.

> If you add in this sort of touchy and sensitive reactionary attitude it will only worsen that.

So you're saying I should just be okay with you making hateful stuff up and posting it, and that if I ask you for evidence I am being "sensitive" and "reactionary"?

Sorry I am not okay with you insinuating that `$fit = dumb` without evidence. You haven't provided any, which leads me to believe that your beliefs stem from your own insecurities more than anything.
Here's a simple question: what is NATO's goal in this conflict?

If it is, as some officials have suggested, to throw the Russian army back across the pre-2014 borders, how exactly could that happen?

If militarily, that almost certainly means NATO-equipped and possibly trained Ukrainian forces attacking Russian forces located inside Russia on a regular basis.

How many ways are there to do this without triggering a nuclear escalation?

> Even after this news emerged, Podolyak maintained that NATO should enact a no-fly zone in Ukraine, which would likely require Western pilots to fight their Russian counterparts directly, putting four nuclear-armed nations at war. Kyiv continues to deny that it fired the missiles.

Then there's the question of what might drive Ukraine to exaggerate or plant evidence implicating Russia in attacks on NATO territory, or to hide evidence contracting that position. Hopefully, The Tonkin Gulf Incident, and the disgraceful way it justified an unjust war after whipping the American public into a bloodthirsty frenzy, is still on the radar.

The GP comment was specifically a smear about YC, which is something I do have knowledge about. I don't for a moment believe that YC would invest in "buying out regulators and making competition illegal". That would go against everything I have ever heard, in public or in private, and everything I understand YC to be about.

Just because we moderate HN less when YC or a YC-funded startup is part of a story does not mean I won't respond like a normal human being.

I can't agree. The 3LA have some benefit to us (US citizens anyway), CCP has no use other than nefarious purposes. TikTok is just an extension of the CCP hoovering up data on Americans. Maybe 99.9% of that is just garbage data, but it doesn't take much data about politicians or other influential persons with a lot of power to be detrimental to a society. Digital fentanyl is a perfect title as it captures the potential deadliness, addictive properties, and potential threat, so it's actually a great title. Being that this particular social media is from an adversarial state, we should kill it off immediately. They had their chance to sever ties with china and become an American corp (or European) but they failed to do, now it's time to lower the boom on them.

There is. My father was really in to California wines in the 70's and 80's. From my freshmen year of high school in the early 80's I was always served a glass of wine with dinner. A couple of years in to this my friends and I hit our peak drinking phase. One would come up with a gallon jug of Gallo or some off brand box of wine. I would take a sip and just no. I can't drink this, it's awful. Now beer I could drink some of the worst, 40's of old English 800 for example, but wine, ya it at least had to be palatable before I would touch the stuff. My friends thought I was a snob...
I don't see how that follows. There's an enormous amount of different $20 bottles. There's probably enough different ones every year that if you try to you can have a different wine every single time you drink and still spend < $30 (to factor in shipping from further) per bottle - though going so hard on exploration without exploitation of the ones you find you like seems suboptimal anyway.

As a novice ( but really interested) in functional programming, I had a bit of troubles with Haskell and eventually didn't find something I could do to toy with it.

This paper is basically what I want to try doing in functional programming : almost write maths, but that does the computation.

It wasn't too complex either !

It's interesting to me that the focus of this question is whether or not Wine experts are full shit or not. I have no trouble believing that with all the differences in inputs and technique, the final products would have material differences, and that some individuals are able to distinguish the difference.

More interesting to me is whether with enough experience I (or most people) can develop into one of those people - ie whether it is more akin to learning to read or learning to dunk.
How many times a day are you calling him? Maybe it's too much. While you may need a lot of communication, he may feel it's unnecessary and you are "bugging him", causing him to lose focus on his work, checking up on him (don't trust him), etc.

Were these missed meetings important? What was the effect of not having them? If nothing, then they were not important. If you have scheduled "standing" meetings that occur on a regular basis, I would stop that. It's something large corporations do that wastes a shitload of time. Did you both agree to these meetings, or are you the one who always schedules them? If so, I'd suggest trying to have fewer of them, only for important issues.

In general, I've found that people younger than 40 are pretty terrible about responding to phone calls and texts. For my generation, this is rude as hell, but I grew up in an era where no one would ever ignore a ringing telephone. Today it seems like it's no big deal to ignore people. Kind of a shame. Definitely makes people feel disrespected. Not giving notice of missing a meeting, assuming he could have given notice, is also rude as hell. But like I said, seems like rudeness is more common these days.

> this behavior affects my productivity and makes me quite unhappy and not willing to work at all

That sounds like your issue you need to work on.
My main problem with the current system is that it has become disconnected from economic value creation. It has become a game of who can come up with the better extractive scheme. Who can work the money printer and the government. A negative-sum game akin to musical chairs or squid game.

The worst part is the constant gaslighting by elites who keep repeating the sermon about how the pie can be made bigger; while they themselves are laser-focused on expanding their extractive moats. They're even building moats around their moats by monopolizing the media and public communication channels (via algorithms) to shift all opportunities towards themselves... In an environment where they already have so many opportunities that they can't even read their own inbox!

The average elite's idea of 'spam' is the average person's idea of 'opportunity of a lifetime'. The inability of the elite to facilitate opportunities due to the complete saturation of their attention bandwidth may be the biggest waste of opportunities and human potential we've ever seen. That's why we need decentralization and why we need to move away from a monetary environment which artificially facilitates infinite wealth compounding.

Regular people aren't even talking to each other now. The free market is dead. Everyone is too busy trying to score some funding from elites who keep ignoring them. Why are regular people so focused on raising money from elites instead of getting together and bootstrapping? Because they know what's going on; they know it's the only way to succeed!

Because the pie is shrinking and the only way to get a tiny piece is to ask someone who has a huge piece to share theirs.

There probably are objectively 4 categories of wine that pretty much everybody will agree with when given a blind test:

bad - wine that actually has gone bad (skunked, turned to vinegar or some other faul)

low-quality - jug wine (high sugar and/or extremely high acidity and/or strong ethanol flavor)

average/meh - the wine is drinkable and nothing stands out

good wine - the wine hits all the key traits of its varietal

Those super-sensitive can get more fine grained, and anyone who doesn't hate wine will have a 5th "great" category based on their personal preferences. But those are replicable consistently across the population.

The average/good distinction is trainable for the average person with some practice.

> endless bikeshedding, internal politics, ... , conflicting messages from different layers of management, and constant meetings that go nowhere.

This sounds more like manager incompetence than being a code monkey. But embracing code monkey-ism could help as I imagine it involves just doing tasks at one's own pace and putting up strong emotional boundaries to mismanagement. Can constant meetings or bikeshedding really hurt someone who's just looking to run out the clock?

P.S. I'm talking about choosing to be a code monkey as a philosophy, a choice. Not as a skill level that I'd call "beginner". Some people call beginners code monkeys, I am not a fan of that.

Bank runs still happen. And I will keep it strictly to banks. Abacus being one case, when the DoJ went after it just to punish someone. A lot of banks in Europe during the 2008+ crisis -- which is why "capital controls" were enforced.

People attempted runs on Chinese banks a few months ago at the beginning of the real estate collapse there.

What keeps bank runs from happening is trust.
Trust that the central bank will print as much money as necessary to ensure people have them.
Trust that the government will deploy people with guns to protect or stop people from doing a bank run.
Trust that regulation works: even if it doesn't and causes systemic issues that lead to issues years later like the 2008 crisis.

It is good that we "believe" bank runs don't or are not going to happen and that is the whole idea.
