I get that cynicism can be a negative thing, and can drag down people and groups. But I think there's a fine line between cynicism and (constructive) negative feedback. And I wonder if an anti-cynicism culture has the effect of silencing legitimate negative feedback as well.

I was deeply moved by the article thinking about my own relationship of twenty years, and imagining the inevitable death of one of us in the future.

Much of my own pain would involve activities you suggest while giving advice about something you don't understand.

I immediately thought about how my ski routine would be a trigger like this for me. I ski near 100 days a year. My first thought reading the article was how much I would hurt making morning coffee and breakfast without my husband and not talking and making ski plans for the day. And how hard and long it would be for that break in daily routine to no longer be a constant reminder of absence. All the harder by it's very routineness and connection to something that is otherwise very pleasurable to me.

That this type of pain would be mitigated by "getting out there and doing fun stuff and having more friends and not pleasure eating" is a perspective with zero understanding of what the bond in a decades long marriage is like or why meal time is so emotionally salient.

That's surprising to me, I assume these are mostly ambitious people who would not want the gap in their work record that came from spending a year being paid to do nothing. Obviously there are other things one could do, but they probably don't advance the career the same way a year of real work does
"Tenthly, one should pour tea into the cup first. This is one of the most controversial points of all; indeed in every family in Britain there are probably two schools of thought on the subject. The milk-first school can bring forward some fairly strong arguments, but I maintain that my own argument is unanswerable. This is that, by putting the tea in first and stirring as one pours, one can exactly regulate the amount of milk whereas one is liable to put in too much milk if one does it the other way round."

Yep, exactly. Lockdowns can only have been justified if we are willing to take the same action going forward under similar conditions and risk. If we aren't, then they were gross overreach of government powers.

For the record, I am not against the idea that the government would provide some financial support for people so they could have stayed at home etc. But the forced closure of the whole society including and especially the banning of seeing other people was unbelievably totalitarian and indefensible.

But if they take all of their money out of the bank then Alice has $30, Charlie has $30 and Bob has $30 which adds up to $90 (aka $40 more). Charlie and Bob still owe $40 combined but the point is not the net amount of dollars change its that the assets/liabilities increased by $40.

I read the Intercept article, and clicked through and read some the screen captured tweets from the “antifascist” accounts that were banned that the article did not care to include.

The Intercept article is not journalism. It’s a PR piece for the accounts that were banned and quotes spokespeople for the impacted groups totally uncritically.

Calling them antifascists seems a misnomer too, they seem to me to be actually anti-capitalist rabble-rousers and professional rioters. Educating, equipping, funding and inciting violent riots seems a clear TOS violation to me.

The “no true antifa” arguments sounds like the sort of ploy that was used when these riots kicked off and democrats in Congress and MSM talking heads were trying to laugh off the idea of “antifa” as a violent domestic terrorist organization simply because they don’t have an org chart.

> It is everyone being complicit in this act that demonstrates to you how worthless you are that destroys you.

And that's why any generic, vague rules to supposedly "prevent bullying" or "fix the environment" will be used by "everyone", before you can blink. Just think of https://medium.com/@rebeccarc/j-k-rowling-and-the-trans-acti... and how many are complicit in that, paying lip service to being against what they do with their hands. Humans are very good at this, always have been, also see organized religion.
“To fight bullying, don’t be an easy target” doesn’t that shift the burden to the next weakest person?
The headline of this post rings a bell in a weird way.

I don't really know how to define "smart" or "happy" and I'm not really anxious to label myself with either of those terms either, but I have noticed that for whatever definition of the terms that I seem to observe at various points of my life I also recurrently observe people who I believe to have significantly less of the "s" term combined with significantly more of the "h" term - so much so that I have accepted it as a trend. The world according to me seems to work like that: more brains = more problems.

Add money to the mix and it seems to blur the picture as independent of (definition of) "s" and "h" more money seems to also equal more problems.
You can buy kits online to refill your toner carts. It's cheap and fairly easy to do.

You just gotta make sure you get the right kit for your printer, as most have a chip in them that acts as a page counter. You typically have to replace the chip when you refill.

Some models like mine require you to melt a hole into the cartridge, there's no external access to the toner tank. Make sure to do your research and don't buy the cheapest kit you find. The quality of the toner does matter and will greatly affect print quality.

Yes, exactly. It was doubly funny because the usual crypto scam nonsense had that extra layer of "effective altruism" bullshit. At this point, if you get into a crypto venture and it, uh, totally accidentally mysteriously falls apart and you lose everything, you have only yourself to blame.

>Gonna be very unpopular here, but the sooner gig companies like Uber and DoorDash collapse, the better. The business model of these so-called unicorns is effectively a Ponzi scheme where the end goal is for early investors to cash out with the IPO. However, unlike a Ponzi, these companies also rip off their contractors so most restaurants and drivers actually lose money by being involved with their "service". Straight-up middlemen who skim off the top behind a veneer of tech that can't even turn in a profit.

I feel like you're misreading the timeline here. The Chrome vuln you mention was found in June 2021 and fixed in August 2021, not 2022. From the bug, it was found and fixed due to automated regression testing done by the chrome team.

This is the equivalent of asking every buffer overflow in Chrome to be assigned a CVE, which is odd. Further, it's exactly the same behavior as Mozilla follows, as demonstrated by the line

> The sandbox escape is specific to the Windows version of Firefox and was fixed without a CVE in September 2019.

in the blog post. Neither vendor is acting badly by not filing a CVE for vulnerabilities they found and fixed internally. CVEs are usually for communication across organizations, which isn't needed if everything is handled within the chrome or mozilla bug trackers.
Sure, but you trying to do that won't hurt anyone (well, aside from the bank account of the person paying you, but that's on them). Building a dystopian VR-based social network hurts a lot more people.

I would hope we have better ethics than to work on things that harm others for truckloads of money.

Then again, a lot of people still work for Meta (and Twitter, and...), so I guess ethics is pretty lacking.

Scale.

When I joined 6 years ago, there were 3 products with a team of about 120 people total.

A tough decision was made to focus on 2 products to increase velocity.

Probably about 2 years ago there were some asks if we offered "single-tenant cloud solutions".

At around that time, we had really rock solid reference architectures that were well tested and confirmed to be scalable.

We are now 2130 team members. There is demand, there is capacity, and there is clarity of how to run it. (6 Years ago "how big should the instance be for x users" was a question that was not answered yet.)

Feel free to ask other questions, If I can answer them I will :)

Exactly, it's good to talk to a professional and see your options. I believe each person can have their own healing mechanism, could be a therapist, exercise or even spiritually related.

I understand everyone is different, made differently with unique physiology, mind and needs.

Sometimes medication can help or harm, for me it's been a positive but not the focus.

Of course, but given that the lost money has now been recovered and has vastly increased in value since the theft (from $72 million to over two billion, out of which Bitfinex keeps at least 20%) it's not all that likely that Bitfinex will collapse.
There's a big difference knowing ahead of time, also.

If I am hired to do trade secret work I'm already understanding that it will never be "known" even if the product or something associated with it DOES work - and many companies in the world will never be known anyway, let alone their products.
Maybe it's just nostalgia, but it had a way of having a broad collection while still allowing you to discover new acts. It just... worked, seamlessly, and it didn't have any of the flashiness of Spotify. I like Spotify, but RDIO will always have a special place in my heart.
I’m curious if this is an answer that others would agree with. I could see your reasoning being valid on this, but I tend to see others responding that it has much more broad utility than that.

Typically when something is confusing to me and I see nothing to grasp onto, it usually means something is flawed or poorly communicated. In other words, when no one can explain why something has utility (in everyday programming) and there are a fair number of responses, then the chance of bad communication goes down and bad reasonings (non-answers) goes up. I have a feeling it is not coincidence that you have the opinion it is not utilitarian in everyday programming and that I responded to your initial post.
Isn't that what we are doing now? Have you seen rates of uptake on boosters?

Lockdowns were a shocking totalitarian action I never thought I would live to see in my own country. But of course many can only see/say that when looking at China, even though what is happening there is just a more extreme mirror of our own crimes against humanity.

You can use a custom `#[panic_handler]` item that ignores its `PanicInfo` arg and just aborts. The optimizer should notice that it doesn't need to bother with unique messages. However currently this requires either being a no_std program or compiling libstd without its handler, since otherwise its handler will conflict with yours.

Although, if one is building their own libstd anyway, then I believe compiling with `--build-std-features panic_immediate_abort` should also have the same effect.
I almost don’t want anyone to do this because if it gets screwed up badly, it will ruin it forever.

I don't mean to be rude. I really like Hacker news. It's a great place to get a wide range of interesting posts with a technology focus, and great talking points from people who have specialization within these areas. It reminds me of the early days of slashdot and even digg. However, it frequently falls short when it moves into areas outside of this. Especially when it's finance or fintech related fields. I think too many people here are well regarded in their tech field and think whatever thoughts they have on areas outside their lane is wisdom, even if they haven't spent much thinking of or gaining much knowledge in said field.

Are you aware that those first world countries you call out, still have way more freedom of speech than almost all other countries?

You can freely criticise all the governments of those countries. You can disagree with them, you can mock them, you can challenge their claims. Nobody in the US has gone to prison for their "alternative facts". Compare this to Russia where discussing the war can land you in prison for 15 years, China with its extreme censorship, and plenty of other countries where criticising powerful people or reporting inconvenient news can get you in all sorts of trouble.

It's true you can't say everything. That's always been true, but in recent centuries and decades it has moved from banning what's inconvenient to the powerful to banning that what hurts the powerless. Libel and slander are illegal, threats are illegal. There's the classic example of yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater. Planning crimes is illegal despite the fact that that's all just speech. But it's all speech that can lead to situations in which innocent people get hurt. Or silenced, or compelled to do things they don't want to do, or otherwise limited in their freedom. And the same is true for hate speech. We've seen what it leads to. It creates a culture where the people being attacked are more likely to get hurt. Words aren't harnless; they're powerful. It's why free speech is important. But it's also why we shouldn't tolerate lies meant to hurt vulnerable people.

Are you saying Google should publish exploits of Variston's systems? There's kind of a "two wrongs" problem there; such information would likely require illegal hacking ("accessing a computer system without permission") to discover.

> - Publish lists of their owners and employees

I'm sure they do as much as they can in that regard, but I'm sure such companies do much to hide their ownership and employees, and at any rate it could be seen as encouraging illegal harassment of said employees.

> ban them from Google/Microsoft services.

To the extent possible I'm sure they do this, but Google can't really stop someone from using Chrome, or always reliably detect when someone representing a malicious company is using their services.
An axis not apparently explored is reality vs. fantasy.

Looking up press about Energy Vault, a fraudulent energy-storage company whose public shares peaked at $2.4B and trade now at $4-600M, it is very hard to find anything published that equates them properly with Theranos. "Analysts" consider them undervalued, and want them to be worth $1B even though they have no product anybody not insane would buy. Apparently "institutional investors" own a big chunk of their shares. (Curiously, everybody seems to agree they have no long-term value.) FWIW, it appears they still have $100M in cash. In principle, they could still buy out a company with a product that actually works.

Similarly for fusion startups. Only one of them (Helion) has any possibility of ever achieving anything practical, and their odds are not encouraging. (One company, Kyoto Fusioneering, builds fake demo equipment for fusion startups, and provides a conduit for abundant fusion venture money into its founders' and maybe investors' pockets.) None of the others can ever produce so much as one erg of commercial energy.
We'll see. From my perspective, this could still go either way: he could be put in prison for a long time partly as a consequence of how much is on the record, or he may still be protected regardless of what is on the record.
I think that the only viable approach is to do your own searching both widely and deeply and compile your own statistics. When you rely on easily accessible information then you are seeing the same data as, potentially, many others do.

In my experience, all the low hanging fruit has been picked over. The harder something gets the less competition you have.

> their rhetoric is inherently more violent[0] in ways that were easier to detect.

Do you have any evidence for this generalization? The only overt violent threats I’ve seen on Twitter are men encouraging rape and murder of JK Rowling and other supporters of women’s rights. I don’t know if they’re “right wing” or not, but their surrounding rhetoric is what’s usually associated loosely with the “left”.

But surely this depends on what one happens to see. That’s why I’m wondering if you have any kind of random sample from which you can draw your conclusions.
