Didn't something similar happen in 2008 as well? When mortgage backed securities dropped but the opposite default swaps (?, I'd have to look it up), didn't move?
My preferences on pricing.

First, it's all open-source, so I can take it and run it. Second, you provide a hosted service, and by virtue of being the author, you're the default SaaS host. You charge a premium over AWS fees for self-hosting, which works out to:

1. Enough to sustain you.

2. Less than the cost of doing dev-ops myself (AWS fees + engineer).

3. A small premium over potential cut-rate competitors.

You offer value-added premium services too. Whether that's economically viable, I don't know.
NY is not the only state that requires jobs postings to include salary ranges.
I was just in a Walgreens near Boulder a few days ago and noticed that they were advertising for pharmacy assistants and didn't post their salary range, and also didn't list it even after I went to sign up online for the job. So I have to guess a lot of employers are disregarding the law. I was also disappointed when I found out there wasn't a particularly easy way to report the violation to the state. It could just be a webform that I fill out that takes 2 minutes, but there was so much overhead that I decided I didn't care enough to complete it.
Equality of access to compute around the world could be a principle pointing towards doing more with less.

Yes, it is excellent news that we aren't in a deflationary environment.
It's true to an extent. It's rarely true to the extent they imagine.
> It doesn't mean anything's getting any cheaper.

for anybody "out of the loop", that would be deflation and it's pretty unlikely (unless I'm wrong)

we as consumers would have to "stand up to" the corporations who are setting the prices, stop buying their products so much to the point where they have to conclude "our prices are too high, we're losing sales, let's lower them"

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the chances of that happening are low? would love to hear from somebody more in the know
I'm not sure, but the last commit on the github repo was 12 hours ago.
It's a big deal because no fusion experiment to date has achieved ignition. It's a validation of our modeling and engineering capability and it means that we probably can build a commercial reactor down the road.

Let me put it this way, if NIF failed to achieve ignition then it would be a very ominous sign.

No one ever seriously thought that NIF would ever lead directly to a commercial reactor, LCF is far too finicky to ever reliably be used in a commercial setting.
You have to understand. I got a PhD in this field. For years, scientists in droves stopped applying for grants saying they were actually doing fusion because funding sources just lost faith in the effort. ICF requires a lot more investment in capital to run than MCF generally, it seems. These scientists moved on to study things like novel radiation and ion beam sources (which similar laser-plasma interactions provide) but they stopped going for fusion specifically because the government just lost faith in the effort. Now, the pendulum will swing.

The answer is yes, we can use more efficient lasers. If you ever are lucky enough to get a tour of NIF, they have a cute little exhibit where they show you if they redesigned NIF with modern technology, they could fit the three football field machine into something the size of a table. That display itself is likely 10 years old by now, and laser science has advanced even beyond it. Now that NIF has proven it's possible, I imagine there will finally be money in fusion again (ICF specifically, if I were in MCF I'd be worried sick now) and someone somewhere will make the newer NIF that won't be just taking 300MJ in and 2MJ out.

Write a poem
> It's unfortunate that anything you say to law enforcement can be used against you - but none of it can be used for you.

Is it really unfortunate? There is simply an implicit assumption that humans avoid incriminating themselves when possible but are very quick to offer excuses. That seems to align pretty well with my experience. Therefore, we assume that if someone says something contrary to their own interest is is more likely to be true.
Judge people by their observed behaviors, not what you assume they should know. Lots of people should be smart and should act more intelligently than they do.
Wow. Can't believe the cynicism expressed in the comments here.

The big results do not come right away. But they tend to follow an unexpected result, especially one that involves new or state of the art methods.

Bohr's atom was wrong in every conceivable way and yet it is one of the most important scientific breakthroughs of all tine.

In mathematics, even the slightest advance can be monumental if it involves progress in an area using new techniques.

Optimization is a separate problem which depends on a small improvement to unleash the flood gates of research, investment, and let's face it: greed and ambition.

This may turn out to be no improvement at all: just an indication that with enough power and energy, we get a slight energy payback. Or, this may be a method that can be greatly improved. We'll see.

For me, this is why science, math, and engineering are so exciting!
My point is that it’s not a new law. It’s new for New York but other states have required it for a long time.
Is there a way to add more fuel to these pellets or have the initial ignition ignite other fuel around it?
That opens the door for everybody to have macros/bots that change the game from a mouse destroying click-fest to just bot-herding.

Actually very cool on it's own, but difficult not to categorize as cheating if it's not intended to be a programming competition.

The meta of malware clients and rare clients with the best bots will be interesting.
Truthfully I wish HN were detached from the VC culture altogether. There's plenty of good tech discussion here that isn't related to founding companies.

This whole idea that founders and capitalists contribute some special sauce to society and therefore shouldn't be regulated is some old fart libertarian Randian fantasy silliness and I'm glad it's being called out. That sort of thing just doesn't work in civilized society.
I think you're missing my point still. I've not once suggested any such thing about money, didn't even talk about it.
The YoY that they report is definitely not useful during slight inflation like we're having. I wish the headlines were more about the month to month because I think people see the number and freak out that prices just went up 7.1 percent.
> doesn’t seem like people holding their own keys are having a bad time right now

Considering that, instead of owning productive assets that make society better as a whole and provide real value to people, they own tokens that so far do nothing and are only useful due to the exchanges, then yes... that's a pretty bad time.
Lake Eyre is dry most of the time, but does fill briefly every few years. Notably, the reason why Mad Max Fury Road was filmed in Ethiopia instead of Australia was that rains filled the lake a week before filming, and turned the desert into a field of wildflowers unsuitable for the apocalyptic setting.
What evidence would you say I'm ignoring?

An opinion piece in the Washington Post?

There have been wild claims made in this thread, like Thiel wants to abolish democracy, and that he wants to be a king, etc...

Yet I haven't seen any evidence of him saying anything like that.

If he has, then be all means, I'd like to see it.

But so far the only thing I've seen is partisan cheap shots without any substance.
OP didn't accuse. OP pointed out. NY evidently requires pay ranges. This job posting did not include the required pay range.

There are also zero posts disparaging the company, YC, or HN. Any particular range you're upset about this?
Hmmm... Possible that I have heard incorrectly. I will have to wait for the transcript, as close captioning did not work.

edit: You were correct. The "not" before the "five decades" was spoken muted and I missed it.

Dr. Budll talking - "... probably decades, uh not six decades, i don't think, i think not five decades, which is what we used to say, i think it is moving into foreground... "
These are fair responses that should be voted up.

I understand the complaints about Drupal, but it's all rather relative. Drupal is a glass that's 25% full. If you concentrate on the missing 75%, well, you'll just complain. But the 25% has been great for my projects. It's been a good foundation. I can usually find a module that does much of what I need and then I just jump in and help.

This kind of "X is dying" is just mean and negative.
Watch this video, he makes the concept a bit more digestible to laymen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGCkekDnEog

Also the point of the AI Box experiment is not to demonstrate how an AI would break out specifically, instead its more to demonstrate that even a human can trick other humans and that's not even a super intelligent adversary.

Although it might be impossible to convince some people that they aren't as smart as they think they are, if people reached that conclusion then there isn't much we can do about that, though I suppose we could just have only those people communicate with the AI to keep it contained, since they are so smart.
So it really is a huge number, and along with other overdoses it is even bigger. This is mind blowing stuff.
But these are not absolutes. You can learn to use and read `unless` just as effortlessly as you did with `if`. I didn't learn to use/read `unless` on college. But I did focus on trying to learn these things and today I have another tool in my belt.

It's an opportunity to get better at something versus banning it from usage because we aren't used to it.

Growing is, for me, almost always the right choice.

Most tech jobs are great places for people with ADHD. Problems are tough and you can spend a lot of time on deep dives fixing them.

Of course, that's in an ideal world. In reality you'll be forced to take part in hour-long-plus meetings to decide the simplest of decisions (or just blather on needless about decisions that were already made and written down, ughhhh)
One use-case would be for including dependencies in a repo. For example, it is common for companies to operate their own artifact caches/mirrors to protect their access to artifacts from npm, pypi, dockerhub, maven central, pkg.go.dev, etc. With the ability to efficiently work with a big repo, it would be possible to store the artifacts in git, saving the trouble of having to operate artifact mirrors. Additionally, it guarantees that the artifacts for a given, known-buildable revision are available offline.
Can SBF still leetcode his way into FAANG after serving his terms?
Kinda similar, you oftentimes don't need to use an `else` statement. It is way overused and leads to code with too much indentation.
People have been "delusional" in a sense since the late 90's when inflation slowed to a crawl and everyone got used to stable prices. If inflation had been ~1% higher over these last decades, prices wouldn't be far off from where they are now and people wouldn't have flipped out so dramatically over the sudden adjustment.
> fact that FTX was selling coins without delivering them

I think you missed the point parent was making about the fraud of accepting money for $crypto_thing and not actually buying $crypto_thing and just moving the money to the Alameda hedge fund. All of that purchasing never impacted the prices of $crypto_thing.

The other thing that will be interesting is if they uncover fraud around $crypto_things that were supposedly tracking actual SEC regulated securities as a derivative and if any Wall Street finance firms were using those FTX derivatives as part of their business.

Other than the chemical analysis, I like to think that Mate has another useful property. That is: Mate is a great chance to get together and share a moment with family and friends. Note that drinking Mate happens almost every morning and every afternoon (in many places like work, school and home), and since it takes 4 or 5 rounds to "quench" your desire of Mate, before you notice it, half an hour has passed. In the meantime you got ready to work in the morning, or talked with your kids or wife about the day in the afternoon, etc.
Is engineering the same now as it was before software? No. It is utterly dependent upon software now. That is my point.

The group that wants to protect or maintain ownership of the word "engineer" is dependent upon the people whom it objects to also using that title.

Centralization is usually cheaper and easier to manage. Don't decentralize because it seems "the in thing". There are exceptions, but they are relatively rare. Everyone wants to grow to the size of Facebook, Amazon, etc., but the unpleasant truth is you probably won't, and pre-scaling is wasteful.

I'm a computer scientist and not much of a writer yet I prefer the use of "unless" over a negated "if". Then again, at the start of my career I used quite a bit of Perl and it was created by a linguist.
Thanks, I always try to do my best, but I can only see through my own eyes.

I had one of the main videos on the site set to private for a few years until someone told me they couldn't see it. I had only tested on my own devices which were all logged in to my Google account so I never saw the problem.

I felt so stupid, but very thankful for the feedback. How many people went to the site and immediately dismissed it because such a central piece was missing? Probably a lot. I'm sure there are scientists who will never take a second look at the idea because of stupid errors like that. So truly, I value the feedback.
Whoa... Flashback to me trying to launch Oregon Trail or Lemmings from a beat up 5.25 floppy.
I don't think you've made your case here. The practices you describe are partly an artifact of computation, bandwidth, and storage costs. But not the current ones, the ones when git was invented more than 15 years ago. In the short term, we have to conform to the computer's needs. But in the long term, it has to be the other way around.

> - 2nd SMS verification: some services offer you a fallback to SMS in case you don't have your 2FA device with you. But keep in mind, that SMS is also one of the least secure 2FA methods.

Isn't this a common complaint that SMS fallback cannot even be turned off? People say SMS is not secure enough so they switch to something better, but all the services do SMS fallback anyway so what is the point of using the more secure one?
The more-powerful and better-informed entity deliberately leveraging those imbalances to extract more value from the weaker entity is unethical. Might be normal, might be expected, might be "just business", but it's unethical.

It's also contrary to the ideals of a free market, if that matters to anyone.

I'll admit that it's ethical if one's ethical framework is based on Pirates of the Caribbean. "Take what you can, give nothing back." Which probably is pretty common, especially among people who succeed at business.

I've been in the job board / HR Tech space for a while, and every time I see a state pass a law requiring advertising the salary range, I'm reminded of a few facts:

* Showing your salary range as long as it is at market wage or higher delivers 14% more applicants. It is a good idea to show salary on job ads.

* If you don't give the job board a salary range, they will use tools like salary.com or their own tools to show an "estimated salary range" on your job so they pick up more clicks when they syndicate your job to other sources (i.e. email alerts and other job boards).

* If you are uncompetitve on wages, fix it. Even though there's a lot of doom and gloom out there, the truth is that unemployment did not go up in November.

* If you advertise a job respond to applicants quickly - as in within minutes of the application. A single day of delay in response causes 28% of candidates to become unresponsive to recruiters (this is from our company's research). It drops to 51% become unresponsive 48 hours later.

I'm an admin and I've noticed this issue as well, INTPenis. I've just resolved to taking the fediblock tag with a huge grain of salt. Stick to your values and do your own investigations instead of caving to social pressure.

Of course, that didn't work when people started doing that whole "block X or we'll block you" guilt-by-association thing. But I just hope that's a minority.

I believe a solution to this may be more decentralisation, so a small number of admins with old and bitter feuds aren't able to control the experience for the majority of users on large servers. Admins should be friends, not celebrities.

That's why I'm not part of the whole UFoI thing, but I'm sympathetic to its existence.

Sharing the straw is definitely the way to go here in Argentina. Note: I'm Argentinian but I don't like mate and sharing a straw feels gross to me. Other Argentinians tell me there's something wrong with my genes.

Mate is a social thing here. You're supposed to share and there's a ritual about how the round goes, who prepares the mate for the rest of the group, and how you signal that you don't want to drink anymore.

Also curious: Uruguayans share our love of mate but for them it's an individual thing, they don't share their mates. So we say that Uruguayans are born with a mate thermos under their armpits, one for each of them!
