> rather than astonishing amounts of fraud

Macro weighs more on crypto than geopolitics or fraud. Fraud never deterred millions from dumping savings, reputations and careers into this mess. The inflection point, for crypto, as with other risk assets, was the Fed.
I don't know if you are genuinely curious but this question is getting kind of old. Every time a company does layoffs, somebody asks, "why does an X company need X number of people?". Every opening has a purpose. No company hires people for fun, and unless you are a company employee you don't know all the different areas, projects, and support staff a company needs to run when they are actually a business trying to make money.
I feel like HN should just auto add a comment that says "Why does <company X> need <n> employees?" with a follow up comment that explains how large corporations work. It literally comes up in every single layoff announcement or other discussion of company size in some way, and the follow on comments are essentially the same every single time.

I'm not saying that a lot of these companies aren't overstaffed (indeed, that's why they are having layoffs!) but these questions always come across as pretty naive in the same way I hear "It's just a website! I could build that in a weekend"-type comments.
Very true! I guess "precipitation of the consequences of fraud" would have been more precise.
I will quote the law:

> Natural persons may be associated with online identifiers provided by their devices, applications, tools and protocols, such as internet protocol addresses, cookie identifiers or other identifiers such as radio frequency identification tags. This may leave traces which, in particular when combined with unique identifiers and other information received by the servers, may be used to create profiles of the natural persons and identify them.
Good question. Our EU deployment was on AWS in eu-central-1. TBH I don't know. I was told it was for GDPR and other compliance reasons and as long as it was being hosted in the EU it checked the boxes for our EU customers.
> They're in college now and so I guess it wasn't necessary.

Just saying man if you are looking for a Christmas present for them get them a membership to train at a BJJ gym, if you have a daughter it will keep her safe, if you have a son it will give him the opportunity to interact and build relationships with people he doesn't know, and may not normally associate with. BJJ is all about technique over physicality and carries a low risk of injury.

For both of them it will give them the confidence that if they end up in a bad situation they know they have the skills to respond calmly. In addition if the gym is any good they'll have them do some rolling so they'll be able to learn to stay calm under pressure, which is a very transferable skill.

Just a suggestion.

This is like listening to just one side in a divorce.

As an outsider, I don't think it's fair to judge unless you hear the other side, and we almost certainly won't hear that (for legal reasons). Maybe if there is an ongoing stream of these sorts of letters we could infer something. But as far as I am aware, there isn't.

I get that it's popular to hate on Musk right now but it's still inappropriate to get worked up over what's basically a nasty breakup.

Are you affected by ADHD?

Do you know someone really close to you affected by ADHD?

I am really frustrated by regular people with affiliation to the tech industry at best and stories about chemically induced productivity enhancement "lifestyle" experiments to question the existence of the condition.

I am right there with you when it comes to criticizing prescribing stimulants to anyone on a whim.

I can say that here in Germany any typical diagnosis includes submitting early school year report cards to establish the fact that what the patient is describing as lived experience was already recognizable during child/ early teen years.

I can say that getting the diagnosis and access to medication has been absolutely life changing. I am 30 years old.

I can say that having talked to other adults who were diagnosed late, they mostly share this perspective.

People are really suffering and anyone discrediting that fact is piling on top of said suffering for literally no reason.

What's your take on caffeine?
I think the act was wrong, but the person was someone I otherwise respected and got along with. This is one of the things that the culture does to people when you pack them in like sardines. It's not natural to be looking at someone all day and not have an urge to just say something to them. If you manage to resist the urge, or worse, signal that your focus has value to you, you start to get branded as unfriendly. It's emotional boot camp to break down your individual identity.
End of the year is generally when decisions are made regarding the next year, the whole "but it's Christmas and snowy.." is cute but companies only step back from doing it if they perceive the backlash to be too big and the sentiment is not the same all over the World.
NASDAQ is also down 30%. Crypto was down before the whole FTX scandal, too, so that doesn't explain everything.
Can automated theorem proving software be coaxed into finding recipes for GOL constructions?

I would find it interesting trying to formalize notions that we easily perceive into computer-understood definitions.

May end up with strange formalizations to make things as orthogonal as possible: IE a beehive is a glider speed zero.
Does this require a user to be executing ping while a remote attacker sends a flood of exploit packets? Or is the OS always vulnerable? The article was not clear on this point.

IMO a 28 year old in 1968 was probably way more "mature" than a 28 year old now.
The problem of course is public sector unions. Even FDR (one of the biggest union icons) thought the idea of a public sector union is dysfunctional nonsense, it makes no sense that they should exist.

Public sector employees are represented by the public in voting. The idea that they should bargain with the public is ridiculous when they are the public elected by the public. Any additional "protection" will dangerously insulate them from reform & accountability to the will of the public.

Public sector unions are fundamentally anti-democratic.

With a union, they're able to hold other citizens hostage. It's disgraceful and exactly why they're able to get humongous budgets for doing nothing, as you seem to admit.

Mind you this happens with teachers and other public sector employees. Pretty much inevitably.

Of course, the people who get up-in-arms about police never extend their logic to their own sacred cows.
For very big companies, it's often well-documented. For smaller companies, kind of luck of the draw; unless you know someone who works there it's hard to find out too much, in general.
Could you please elaborate a little more? Are you saying because of the flood of workers into the market Musk is able to act this way?

While eating at a restaurant yesterday I saw my old friend who lost his partner to cancer 2 months ago eating alone. He was looking very lonely, and I was struck with how eating is an immense part of our social life as humans.

I walked over and chatted after which he looked physically healthier. Let's not forget our loved ones.
See my reply to b34r. In addition assigning users into “anonymous” cohorts is a similar principle to FLoC which is likely not GDPR compliant https://searchengineland.com/googles-current-floc-tests-aren...
This may be a poor analogy:

Imagine, during a war, a missile that has been set to target a city.
The casualties will be many, and random, and innocent, but this is wartime and horrible things happen.

Now, imagine that this missile is set to target the city, but will launch at a random time in the future. The missile may launch during the war, or many years after.

Now it's obvious to me that the missile that lauches at the random point in the future is more evil than the one fired immediately.

It's a poor analogy, but the random missile is how I view landmines.
Itd be theoretically easy too [1] . Put a dead man switch on them. If a landmine doesn't receive a "keep alive" signal at a predetermined, known skipping frequency then self destruct.

Or use a timer and re-lay them periodically.

[1] famous last words. In reality these things don't work and landmines are a terrible legacy of conflict.

> Even with a full time staff, and carrier hotel fees, the reliability and overall cost savings of self-hosting would likely not even exceed 15% of what the fully managed SaaS hosting package would cost - and two more points as well...

There's a bigger issue: security updates. With self-host, you have to subscribe to a ton of better-or-less-well-organized mailing lists, and once a 0-day is published you are in the race between your IT team and exploiters (who can and will find your instance on Shodan).

In contrast, SaaS vendors (usually...) get informed about vulnerabilities prior to everyone else, so you don't have to worry about timely updates.
I'm curious to see the project that you tested this against. To me it seems like you either tested this against a rather large existing code-base you work with or you code-generated something pretty huge as I've never seen such slow build times. If possible, could you put it up on github or gitlab?
Kraken regularly used shell/cover companies to hire employees. They have a pretty complex web of fronts not-called-Kraken. Entire offices are 'employed' by one of these companies.

I can value my time at $500/hour, but unless someone is willing to pay me that rate while I wait for my food, then it's just a made-up number. And I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm on salary, so valuing my time by an hourly rate is a pretty poor measure to begin with.
What transactional email delivery platform to choose to migrate from Sendgrid?

These CEO letters are meaningless. They are written by obscenely paid PR hacks and follow the same template.

* While I want to focus today’s attention on our talented teammates who are departing, I did want to say a few words to the team that is staying and carrying the baton. While today’s news is painful, I continue to be very optimistic about our future and convinced of the importance of the role we can play in the world.*
> Crypto simply followed the overall market effects

Crypto is performing far worse than even the riskiest decile of the stock market. Which should surprise nobody.
Basically the “cookie consent” part in the EU stems from the e-privacy directive. Article 5.3 refers to GDPR (through the directive that is replaced by GDPR) and reads:

Member States shall ensure that the storing of information, or the gaining of access to information already stored, in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user is only allowed on condition that the subscriber or user concerned has given his or her consent, having been provided with clear and comprehensive information, in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC, inter alia, about the purposes of the processing. This shall not prevent any technical storage or access for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary in order for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide the service.

In short, this method may fall under the EU “cookie law” above. The use of timestamps may require consent if they are used to distinguish users (even if only for counting purposes). The timestamps may then also be personal data under the GDPR.

Ask HN: Good Sources on Requirements Gathering?
I have been asked to participate in updating the requirements gathering process at my employer.

However, I'm just a data scientist--I've participated in giving the requirements to Product/App Dev for algorithms/protoypes my DS team has developed. I don't have experiences on the other side of the the requirements gathering process.

I'd love to hear ideas of good sources (books, blogs, et. al., though I'm not a big fan of video/audio) that cover this for someone who can "develop" prototype statistic software in R/Python, but is pretty much a layperson when it comes to industrial-scale software development.

Sorry if this request is poorly-specced; I'm in the Rumsfeldian "unknown unknowns" territory.

Thanks!
Would that not be considered a meritocracy, then? That is: maybe not the best approach, but the best approach that most agrred to go along with...? As much of a fan as i am of the fediverse and especially ActivityPub, i'm sure there could have been other, better protocosl....but at the time, it was the best that most agreed to go along with. I think that's called meritocractic, no? Or, maybe there's a better word?
You learn new things every day. Personally, I didn't know the Hallmark corporation was present at the Council of Nicaea (c. 325).

I don't disagree, but: macro is a forcing function for the collapse of fraudulent schemes. If it was just a macro downturn, we would be seeing a filter between different firms. Instead we're seeing an implosion roughly every month, interspersed with bankruptcies and major headcount cuts.
Not for everyone. First time they offered 3 months, then they cried for people to come back, then fired them (and more) again with 1 or 3 weeks severance
Rust or Go. I've been eyeing them for a while, but never got to writing any code with them. They look amazing.

I'm very good with JavaScript and TypeScript (7+ years of experience, full-time, both back and frontend). I absolutely love them. The freedom to mix functional and oop is amazing. And no awkward verbosity like Java.

I don't like requiring the NodeJS runtime in environments I don't control — it's ok for servers I own, not ok to ask users to install it so they can use a lib/app I made. There are tools to "statically-link" NodeJS projects now, but I haven't tried them yet.

I've been working exclusively on Linux for the past 6 years. Wouldn't look back. Did Mac for a few years, didn't like it. The hardware is superb, but the UX is not optimized for software development. Windows is not an option unless doing C#.
I think “bleeding edge” is measured more by mind share than by release date. For example, Ruby was already 9 years old when Rails came out in 2004. That was when it became bleeding edge.
Those 28-year olds had pocket protectors though.

> Unintuitive till you move your hand from here to there

Continuity does not require the notion of a continuum. There need not be a "minimum length" even in a non-continuum approach. The rational numbers are perfectly fine for this because Zeno's paradox still applies -- between any two points is a halfway point, no matter what scale you look at.

If you need more power you have the computable reals, which include all real numbers that it is possible to compute.

The leap from the computable reals to the continuum is a huge, vast leap -- in measure theoretic terms you are going from a measure zero set to a non-zero-measure set. But all you get from that leap is access to a bunch of numbers that it is not possible to construct anyway, where I mean "not possible" in the strict, formal, definitional sense -- it is literally impossible to produce an example of one. Only the Axiom of Choice and similar nonsense even let you reason about these, the "zombies" of the OP.
The number of unique visits in a day is the number of total visits minus the number of repeat visits from the same users, so they need something like this to get an accurate count. You can't produce the number without information on repeat visitors.

I think you are right that this technique could be changed and turned into a way to track individual users. But as implemented, it doesn't do that, and all knowledge is lost after one day. We shouldn't criticize people who are trying to limit the information they collect to the bare minimum by pointing out an altered version of their system might have undesirable properties.

> And unfortunately, it's not confined to the US. From Boris Johnson to Jair Bolsonaro to Viktor Orban and well beyond, there are a lot of politicians on the right who you can't really call conservative in that they, like Trump, have repudiated a lot of traditional conservative values like honesty, accuracy, and integrity.

> My problem is that the Economist, whose tone for me has always been one of cool reason, whose founding goal was "to take part in 'a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress,'" is letting the crazy leak in.

I'm really not sure what you're getting at here. It honestly makes me wonder if you've actually read The Economist in the past 7 years.

The Economist is very critical of Boris Johnson - their latest articles on him include "The tragedy of Boris Johnson", "Boris Johnson should go immediately" and "Clownfall: Britain after Boris".

Recent pieces on Jair Bolsonaro include "The enduring threat of Jair Bolsonaro", "Win or lose, Jair Bolsonaro poses a threat to Brazilian democracy" and "President Jair Bolsonaro is bad for Brazil's economy".

On Viktor Orban they say "Viktor Orban's victory is a triumph for illiberal nationalism", "How Viktor Orban hollowed out Hungary's democracy".

On Trump I won't even begin. Almost no publication has been more harshly critical of Trump.

So your claim that The Economist is determined to "both-sides" every discussion doesn't hold any water at all to me. The Economist has always had an open and transparent editorial position and they write to that position. They are not interested in promoting the views of extremists or crazies on either side. If you have such an example I would be keen to hear it.
And Werner von Braun was 56 in 1968. You think he should have been replaced with somebody younger? Or do you think that his level of experience was useful?
