Strangely for HN, this story has been posted (with different sources) 8 times in the last day [1], and there has been a grand total of 4 comments. What's going on? Maybe it's because the flight is at least a year away, and Starship hasn't even flown yet.

What a coincidence - that is actually the worst income stream I ever created.

I was working at Software Etc.[1][2] in 1995 and used my employee discount to buy 12 boxes of Fallen Empires. I was certain it would make me (relatively) rich.

Five years later I sold them all on ebay for, basically, even money. FE was so overprinted that it had no value at all and I don't think I would have made any significant money until after 2010.

If you're red-teaming a Matrix server and you own up the server, you can decrypt all the messages of all the people using that Matrix server, and you can do it trivially, just using the basic protocol messages. Users might see extra group members in their groups and they might not, depending in part on whether they're running the most current version of the software.

You can decrypt all the messages. I sometimes feel like I must have read a different paper than everybody else.
The link styling is inconsistent with basically every other web page; underlines haven't been "everywhere" since the late 1990s (for better or worse), but distinguishing links has usually been done via the use of color, maybe some other border effect.

The style chosen by this particular web page comes across not as hyperlinks, but as a weird choice to randomly remove words and phrases from the main sentence matter, rendering them more difficult to read and comprehend, and worse, leaving the reader unaware this this choice actually denoted a link.

Yep, he gets the job and then they suddenly run into a lot of errors and whatnot and he has to pay their check. When he tells them its a scam, they start questioning him lmao.

Look at their bad grammar in the full conversation though, this was the last dead giveaway.
I've paid rent using cheques to multiple different landlords within that time frame. US and Canada.

I've received money from the Canadian government using cheques in that time frame too, but admittedly you could just special case the government.

I've received prize money from a university run contest during that time frame using cheques (barely in the time frame, small sum of money), and I know others who have received prize from privately run chess tournaments using cheques (I think the latter just because it's a cool souvenir).
Mostly word of mouth. Friends, past and present colleagues, etc. I even went part time at a job once instead of leaving altogether for another full-time job. It helps to have a good reputation. Often those positive relationships pay off over time without any solicitation whatsoever.

I'm guessing he's suggesting the AI can be a conversation buddy anytime you want, and also point out your mistakes so you can learn from them.

The domain is brrr.biz I was going to use it for small fast services. Only thing on it at the moment is a “what’s my IP” lookup for use in scripts (https://fossil.chillfox.com/echo_ip/home) which I will just be hosting under my primary .com instead going forward.

I think I am done getting cutesy domains for projects and will just use subdomains going forward to avoid this kind of headache.

edit: One of the things I wanted to put on that domain was an ngrok like service targeting regions where ngrog is high latency, because I could really use that myself.

Not the GP, but I would say yes. I am 51, and I have seen a few economic boom and bust cycles.

I think you can almost boil it down to: if you think civilization will collapse, then do not buy stocks. If you think it will still be around, buy stocks. Things might look bad over the next few years, but I think things will get better after a while.
Usually they’re longer-term relationships than 10 hours. I’ve spent anywhere between 3 weeks and 2 years working with the same client/project. Sometimes I’ll have multiple going, but usually can set the expectations such that I don’t have to pull many 20-hour weeks on top of my day job.

Why so? No one forbids you to pick a process and/or tools that come close to the perfect process and then change them as necessary. You don't have to reinvent the wheels.

You can use Scrum, Kanban, ... as starting points. Just don't implement them mindlessly like most companies do.

I can second the recommendation for Pimsleur. I managed to take seven 30 minute lessons before a trip to a conference in Israel, and got people starting to talk to me in Hebrew based on the few sentences I knew, apparently due to a pretty good pronunciation.

The importance of getting to sound right from the start is something that is stressed a lot in the Pimsleur description, and I think it makes sense. Having a good pronunciation will give you so much better confidence, and chances to actually interact with native speakers, while they also claim it is much harder for the brain to relearn something that got wrongly learned, than learning it correctly from the start.
I was waiting the whole time for a request to buy some Google Play gift cards at the nearest store.
To expand further out: the reason this is a problem to begin with is that virtually all programming languages involve a compiler or interpreter parsing a textfile which humans (with the aid of IDEs) must laboriously maintain.

Instead of arguing about code format styles, why not change our languages (or at the very least development environments) so that a list (for example) gets parsed, analyzed, and turned into an internal object, and doesn't remain merely a "dead" string of characters.

Once lists are "objectified", we should be using tools to modify those objects (similar to how you'd add/remove rows from a spreadsheet, or edit the DOM in your browser's dev tools). How those objects get presented visually to the programmer as source code is irrelevant at that point: Want to show the list a a single line of items concatenated with commas? No problem. Want to see each item on its own line, without commas? Sure. The visual representation of lists just become syntactic sugar, while the actual list itself is embedded in the development environment as an internal object, much as your HTML pages become parsed by the browser into the DOM which you can inspect and modify via the browser's dev tools.

We should be coding to build "smart objects," not writing strings of text to be endlessly curated.
> Yes, and a 0%-30% tip has more uncertainty than a 10%-30% tip.

Which is why it should be done away with whatsoever.

> Also you appear to be arguing as if I'm defending tipping as a practice. I'm not. I'm saying that an individual who refuses to tip despite it being an expected practice is being a bad member of society.

A person who refuses to tip is attacking tipping as a practice and acting to end it. Calling them a bad member of society is by extension defending the alternative.

> You are arguing against your own point here. If a single customer is meaningless to the compensation of the service worker, that single customer is not making any meaningful dent in the system that goes way beyond that one individual service worker.

No, it's fully consistent. The point is that you can change your individual behavior without causing excessive harm to some hapless service worker in particular, because you're <1% of their customers.

What really changes things is what happens in the aggregate, but that works too. If almost everyone tips, that's the status quo. Whatever percentage of people stop, employers will have to make up the difference to retain staff. Some intermediate period where the service worker's pre-tip hourly wage is $4 instead of $2 is fine. When that percentage finally reaches 100%, tipping is abolished.

> This is true of any labor protections. Having a minimum wage eliminates jobs. Having safety regulations eliminates jobs. Sometimes eliminating jobs is in the best interest of society.

Minimum wage eliminates jobs and we shouldn't have one. Causing some people to be involuntarily unemployed so some others can make slightly more money is a poor trade off when better alternatives exist, like UBI.

[Good] safety regulations don't eliminate jobs, because the alternative is safety incidents resulting in legal settlements, which cost the employer more than complying with preventative measures. The preventative measures therefore destroy fewer jobs, and if they don't you've implemented them wrong.

Many "labor protections" are paternalistic and net harm workers.

> Try asking a service worker whether they would prefer a tip today or a hypothetical abolishment of tipping decades in the future. I don't think they are going to make the choice you are implying.

Ask anyone if they would prefer an immediate gain for themselves personally or a larger future gain for a class of people they belong to. You've now discovered collective action problems.

Lining up someone other third party's incentives with the better overall outcome is a great way to solve them.

Mortgages are "underwater" because home prices are depressed due to the high interest rates.
This is great news. Looking forward to this and lapse.dev since VS Code is really slow and ugly.
The Turkish lira has lost value, but it is not a matter of fluctuation as you mentioned. I already shared the links to the exchange rates of the relevant day above. You can also verify the previous and next days yourself. We are talking about a number that is three times higher than on that day, and twice as high as today.

I also contacted another domain registration service to verify this price. They said that the domain transfer fee is $843 and that they have nothing to do with it, the pricing is determined by registrar(Google in this case).

Yes? Generally owners of those huge popular simple word domain names will be making far more than $850/year from them, if they actually put a modicum of effort into making the site useful. That's better than someone snatching up thousands of domain names and then holding them hostage with contentless park pages until someone coughs up $X00,000 or more.
Well, will wind up being less tensor than peers to point of being tagged as tuple when you walk in; but still 'All about the blocks' and cache on hand.

Independent of mathematical numerical systems used, everthing gets loaded at hoursX0000. Everything else after that is just bracket arrangements.

If let things stack up, then it's all about what can be accomplished before zeroing out.

Use multi-modal learning. Videos, tutorials, projects, ChatGPT. I think it's worth watching a video before diving into a project if you are very new to what you're learning. ChatGPT is a great new way to learn as well.
I’ve done anywhere between $125-200/hr depending on the kind of work. Also have done some work for lump sums (working on one of those right now), but honestly try to avoid those despite what others in this thread are saying. It can be a pain to collect sometimes, but you simply have to be willing to halt work if payment isn’t made timely enough. I’ve got exposure to a lot of things but usually end up working with .NET in some capacity.
Thanks for pointing that out. I originally titled it as '3 of Twitter's...'. and forgot that HN auto-trims titles that start with numbers and words like 'how to'. I edited it to use the word 'three'.

You can decrypt all future messages in a noisy way that alerts all the users that something weird is going on.

> While the Matrix specification does not require a mitigation of this behaviour, when a user is added to a room, Element will display this as an event in the timeline. Thus, to users of Element this is detectable.

Virtually everyone uses Element, so it's blatantly tamper-evident. That makes it a really bad option if red-teaming.
The working class gets its power from its ability to choose whether or not to work. Without work, there is no workers' movement
I don’t know why hyperskill.org is not getting any love on HN, zero videos, byte sized lessons to the point - followed by questions and assignment. Also mini projects at every 10 or so lessons which eventually makes up final project and their learning map is really awesome which maps topics to know before proceeding , and integration with JetBrains IDE is nice so you can submit projects or questions directly.

Definitely takes some discipline. I’ve found the stress more bearable as time goes on, but it’s definitely a thing, and having a demanding day job can make it worse. Taking a month off here and there from side work can go a long way, though, as can taking a week off the day job to finish a side project ;)
I think you're not following the correct procedures in this situation. For each mistake you make, you will receive a demerit. If you accumulate three demerits, you will be issued a citation. If you receive five citations, you will be in violation of the rules. If you receive four violations, you will be given a verbal warning. If you continue to break the rules after receiving a verbal warning, you will be issued a written warning.

If you get a written warning, you need to be careful. After that, it's time for a meeting with your supervisor. If you don't change your behavior, you might be facing a suspension. And if you continue down that path, you could even be fired. So it's important to take these warnings seriously and make sure you're following the rules, because if you don't, the consequences can be severe.
For the exchange rate fluctuation to explain this, USDTRY had to hit 5.1 or so which hadn’t happened since 2018. There was no way the rate hit 5.1 from 13.67 in a day.

I worked at a place that ran sham sprints all the time. If you couldn’t finish something, your ticket would get marked complete, and a new one opened to finish the work (“integrate [component]”) next sprint. This was so the points would be booked and the team stats wouldn’t look bad. I saw one ticket roll over for a good 2 or 3 months like this.

Oh man good luck learning to write french! I had lots of success with pimsleur for Spanish (but I'm already a basic competency french speaker so most of the concepts and grammar are familiar to me). Duolingo did not really do it for me. Luckily, Spanish orthography is pretty regular as long as you stay within the same regional pronunciation group.

I spent 8 years developing all the art for my own game platform and another 4 years on the next... so
..
"also, it would take an absurd amount of time" ? Yeah? Well while you search for shortcuts or hope for a free ride, you're not making the art you need or want. What constitutes an "absurd" amount of time is pretty relative. If you hope to make a sizeable amount off your game, maybe it will take what seems right now to be an absurd amount of effort. It only seems absurd because you haven't connected with the reality of spending your time 24/7 making things. i.e. putting out the effort to earn the acclaim you hope for.

Slightly a side story, so no one complains: In 1994 when I was 14, "Heart of China" came out and VideoSpigot came out and all I wanted for Xmas was a video camera and an interface to record short QuickTime movies in locations around my house, so I could string them together into a dark futuristic CD-ROM game. (in SuperCard, if you're wondering). That would have solved all my problems creating art!

It wouldn't have. Make your game as a sketch with whatever sketching tools you have...but don't expect technology to rescue you from needing other humans to make it good. AND DON'T UNDER-RATE OR UNDERPAY THOSE PEOPLE.

Because trust me, if you're disappointed that AI isn't giving you good enough art, you're no visionary. You haven't even tried people.
The significant words there are "I’ve never seen". People see what they're primed to see. On the internet, that means you notice what you dislike. (I don't mean you personally—I mean all of us.) All the cases that go the other way are escaping your notice, or getting discounted (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). When you weight one side at approximately 100 and the opposing side at approximately 0, things feel appallingly unbalanced. Everyone with strong passions, on any side of any $topic, is doing a version of that and therefore feels that way.

Because this mechanism is so reliable, I can tell you for sure, even though I have no memory of what your ideological preference is, that the opposite side is every bit as convinced that we're biased in your favor against them, and every bit as "Gee-I-wonder-why-that-is" sarcastic about it.

Re the other comment you mention: I'd need to see a specific link to be sure which other comment you're talking about. It's possible that I just didn't see it (we don't come close to seeing everything), but it's also possible that the other account isn't using HN primarily for ideological battle. That word primarily (which you'll notice I used in my reply to you) is critical because it demarcates one line at which we ban accounts. Past explanations of that point: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme....

To clarify, they paid a premium price for the first year. Had they been paying in USD it would be the same initial price as the renewal price, but apparently they're paying in Turkish lira so exchange rate changes come into play. What I know for sure is that, from the registry side, the wholesale USD-denominated premium price has remained consistent over the length of the registration.
