I’m referring to the present state of their reserves. A present state which almost deterministically implies a future state under certain conditions.
A nonnegotiable feature most people want from a social network is the ability to keep certain other people out, or at least fully disconnect from all people like them - at scale, as opposed to manually blocking/ignoring specific accounts. Motivations vary, simple spam and fraud is an obvious one, prohibited material (with CSAM at the extreme end) being another obvious one, but of course at some point politics also comes into play.

You can't have a technical solution to that, it's a design choice/tradeoff. You can have a highly permissionless social network, but then it's not useful for the average person because it doesn't exclude the "undesirable" content; and you can have a highly regulated social network but then it's obviously not useful for people who do want to make the excluded content; but you can't have a single social network (even if federated) for everyone, splits are inevitable.
It says base comp, 200k is quite a normal base salary. There could be 300k equity too, who knows.

But yes, industry comp will decline if layoffs pick up steam. I've already noticed a tremendous easing in being able to hire competent people
This only seemed to work maybe 1 in every 20 times. Felt a bit like playing Jenga with program state.
Some tangible examples are: credit card transaction data, individual geolocation or foot-traffic data from mobile phone sdks or carriers themselves, receipts scraped/exfiltrated from email inboxes, individual browsing history, or highly targeted web scraped data.

All "anonymized" of course.

>There are some comments in here that verge on assuming bad faith on the part of the companies involved

Not disclosing pay is illegal in three states in the US, and has the practical effect of reducing the number of applicants to the advertised job by 14%, so it's self-harming for the employer anyway. Bonus: a lot of job boards will just plug an "estimated salary" in for you to max their CTR and revenue on syndication.

> people are figuring out and it’s easier to forget about if you’re in the habit of re-using old listings.

Some companies don't hire very often, so yes. But for startups and venture funded, high growth companies to be unaware after two years is not cool. We need to do better... and you can see from the people posting here, some of them would rather report employers to the AG than get a job at that company. I'm not sure how productive that is, but I do think it shows why a law was required to get a minimal level of disclosure.
Why not? Plenty of places have enough sunlight to do so even in winter. Parts of Alberta have similar sunlight mid winter to PNG mid summer.

Plus storage is a thing. Using a heat pump to dry NaOH or melt Sodium Acetate, or heat a large pond can store low grade heat economically for months. Ammonia, or methanol can do so indefinitely.

Then there's transmission. HVDC can transport energy 10GW pernline for thousands of km at costs comparable to local generation.

I'd be very surprised if you could avoid using a solar panel to heat your home in 40 years even if you go out of your way to do so.

People distrust science by press conference.

If they have a good result, they should publish it in a peer reviewed journal with all the details.

And I'm not even taking about the details of this specific result.

I hate to say this, but "you're doing it wrong". Mate is not prepared like herbal tea, which is why you don't like it: you're preparing it wrong.

It's also a low brow infusion, people from lower social strata drink it as much as well offs, so it has nothing to do with being hipster.

Again, go watch an Argentinian YouTube video to learn how it's supposed to be prepared. It's OK if you don't like it -- don't tell other Argies, but I don't like it either -- but at least first learn how you should brew it!

I concur. Twitch and Youtube subscription management is pretty garbage. I end up relying more on 'most current viewers' for my Twitch list than I'd like just because trying to manage it any other way is too much of a hassle.

Every once in a while I unsubscribe from a bunch of people I normally would stay subscribed to, just to pare that list down and make some of the lower viewer streamers (that I'm still interested in) more likely to show up in the list, but that's a crap way to do it.
More likely it's reacting to inflation data.
The original post title: "Why are YC companies breaking hiring laws?"

I read that as an accusation. OP did not name any specific companies supposedly breaking hiring laws. New York City started requiring salary ranges in job postings for most companies (not all) just a few weeks ago. I would interpret a few job postings that don't include salaries as oversights or perhaps companies exempt from the law (which has a few exceptions).

If someone posted "Why is HN allowing shanelbellone to break the law?" would you read that as an accusation?

There are many accounts of SBF's capacity for subterfuge. I don't believe he was blabbing about what he did because he's stupid.
I don't believe I said anything about intent. Indeed, my comment is rooted in the assumption that YC wants to do the right thing here. Did you mean to reply to somebody else?

Even assuming the best of intent -- in fact, especially when we assume that -- YC's role as a guide to often-novice entrepreneurs means they should be helping out here. Both by educating them on changing hiring laws and by sending back inadequate job postings for reworking.

Regarding your last paragraph, I'll also note that whether "the company broke hiring laws" is a purely factual question, as is whether or not HN publishes job ads that break the law. A generous interpretation involves why and how they did it, but can't include denying the facts.

> A criminal indictment represents the end of the investigation, not the beginning.

That's oversimplified, especially when dealing with wide ranging investigations into complex issues, as the many indictments (including successive, either superceding or in different districts or, in some cases, both) indictments of the same party in the course of, for an obvious recent example, the Mueller investigation attest.
> New Zealand's smoking rate is already at historic lows, with just 8% of adults smoking daily according to government statistic released in November - down from 9.4% last year.

if this was accomplished without prohibitions, how many negative consequences (black markets, organized crime, smuggling, adulterated cigarettes) is NZ willing to tolerate to get to zero? One would think that at some point, you get down to a hard core that will never stop.
My father sold cars most of his adult life, and certainly throughout all the time we shared together until his death. He was very good at it. And yet I know fuck all about selling cars or cars in general. Nada. Nothing. I didn't even learn to drive until I was in my thirties. "X's parents are in profession Y" hardly means anything.
Really enjoyed reading that, thanks!
At my institute, we've been steadily expanding our HPC facilities and adding newer hardware for the SOTA research being done by faculty and students.

Why do they think this won't increase the allure of cigarettes in general? Feels like prohibition has always been a questionable idea, regardless of what its target is, and it has pretty much never worked as expected.

It's especially awkward given that people's interest in tobacco has already fallen to new lows without it (the article suggests only 8% of the adult population smokes now), so it feels like it could be completely counterproductive, while doing nothing could have caused interest to crash even more.
I agree; politicians have a singular goal -- reelection. Supporting SBF at this point can only hurt. They will not be extending him any favors.

I'm sorry but... what kind of victim blaming nonsense is this? Seeing a salary range intimidates people?!

That's 100% worth the cost, friend. Knowing what you're applying for/to is absolutely critical information, and having it before applying is a substantial amount of leverage in any negotiation.

That's like saying people shouldn't post where a job is because some people might not live there, or not to post C++ jobs because not everyone knows C++...

Generally usage based pricing sounds fair. In the end for cases like
mine where it's "read rarely, but should be available publicly long
term" it would need to compute with pricing offered by the big cloud
providers.

I'm about to leave my academic career and I'm thinking about how to
make sure all my detector data will be available to other researchers
in my field in the future. Aside from the obvious candidate
https://zenodo.org it's an annoying problem as usually most
universities I'm familiar with only archive data internally, which is
hard to access for researchers from different institutions. As I
don't want to rely on a single place to have that data available I'm
looking for an additional alternative (that I'm willing to pay for out
of my own pocket, it just shouldn't be a financial burden).

In particular while still taking data a couple of years ago I would
have loved being able to commit each daily data taking in the same way
as I commit code. That way having things timestamped, backed up and
all possible notes that came up that day associated straight in the
commit message would have been very nice.

Regarding mounting I don't have any specific needs there anymore. Just
thinking about how other researchers would be able to clone the repo
to access the data.
Similarly, I find myself laughing when people describe this as a high-rate environment. Or when they blame the relatively brief Covid ZIRP for wide ills. The ZIRP of the 2010s is still confusing people.
> most of my friends have increased their twitter usage

Meanwhile, all of my friends have erased their Twitter accounts (some migrating to Mastodon, others to other social media sites, others happily forgoing social media at all), all of the organizations I'm a part of have stopped using Twitter for official communication, the subreddits I follow have banned Twitter links, and my product has removed its Twitter integration. Large swathes of the internet are defederating from Twitter.

A bit of a generous definition of 'produced more energy than it took to create' there.

I was about to say that. I used to work with python/django and pycharm really does a lot of heavy lifting on the autocomplete/linting part. It knows django and would autocomplete even django's ORM params (which are quite dynamic).

Now I moved to Go, and that is not needed anymore. Most thing are already bultin or can easely be extended (like with golangci-lint). It's static typed with simple OO model which makes things a lot easier. Since then I've been working neovim and I don't feel I miss anythig from full-featured IDE.
You could say the same about any "new" energy technology though. Solar was a 'bondoggle' and a complete waste of time and money... right up until it wasn't.

Fusion is at the point Fission was in the 1940s. It works pretty well in a lab using extremely expensive equipment, makes a net loss of energy, and isn't ready for grid-scale production. But that will change if we continue to invest heavily in the commercialization of the technology.

The biggest advantages of fusion energy are its safety and non-proliferation aspects. You can very easily produce Plutonium using a commercial nuclear fission reactor plus some reprocessing facilities. That's not possible with Fusion since it uses non-fissile materials that can't be processed into a weapon. There are very few nations that should be trusted with fissile materials, and therefore very few that should be trusted with fission reactors.

My experience with being hired at non-FAANG places over a career of more than two decades is that I'm usually through a process and hired within a week. Often, like three days, from first contact to offer. I think my single longest job search was maybe a month, total. Companies that have these weeks- or months-long processes but don't pay FAANG-tier wages to make it worth the wait, I have no idea how the hell they manage to hire anyone at all. You've got to move or I'll already be looking at two other offers before you set the date for your second round or WTF ever.
I can throw in my two cents as well.

I've been on several different stimulant medications for ADHD. They all make me anxious, even the one I'm taking now.

Adderall: Grinding teeth, anxiety, didn't like feeling euphoric ("good" for no reason), stomach pain

Vyvance: Same as above

Focalin: Better than both above. This is what I'm currently on. It works for me well but it still comes with some side effects. I have stomach pain pretty consistently after taking my dose, and I have anxiety throughout the day.

It's unfortunate. I absolutely need these meds to keep my life in order, but they honestly suck pretty bad.
Let’s see if his ‘I’m baby’ defense works in court.
The problem isn't that people are hogging all the CPU, the problem is that it's hard to get computers to people around the world, connect them to infrastructure (power, internet), and train people to use them. Plenty of smart people have actively tried to solve this problem and have failed. I'm not sure if adopting such a principle means anything whatsoever in the face of what appears to be a larger challenge than providing computing power to a willing yet deprived population.

I don't agree with this at all. I think a modern, fully-tooled up Emacs is significantly more capable overall than e.g. VSCode. There's more configuration involved and Emacs lacks some features, but that goes both ways.

Compared to my non-Emacs using colleagues I'm significantly faster at manipulating code. I don't think that's because I'm smarter or intrinsically faster (they're mostly younger, for a start). Emacs is just a lot more efficient once you've learnt all the tricks and built up a platform that suits your preferences.
Why not? Severance is all about signing away your rights to sue for discrimination or misconduct in exchange for some token. It's all negotiable - I don't see why they wouldn't grant you a silly title in future reference checks, especially if you go as far as to refuse the cash payment.
The Kubernetes nodes and control plane are not something I manage directly. DigitalOcean perform regular upgrades to keep the cluster at a minimum supportable and secure version. They're reasonably sophisticated, and if they can't upgrade the cluster without downtime they'll notify you with what's wrong - which is great, because I don't know much in depth about K8s administration.

The configuration you use is pretty explicit about which ports are internal and which are published externally as a service, so it's unlikely you'll get it wrong by accident. Nevertheless, you can still verify that you haven't done anything daft like opened a DB port to the internet by e.g. trying to connect to it.

Finally, there's a whole class of difficult administration, hardening and access problems that can come with Kubernetes multi-tenanted operations that you just side-step as a sole administrator/user. You don't need to worry about who has access to which services or namespaces, or what privileges they have via RBAC - it's just you. I'd want to do some really serious research before letting other users launch containers on my cluster, or execute their own code in it; but that's not one of my use-cases, so it's not a problem.
A photo is captioned "A Rackspace employee alleges her then-19-month-old son fractured his left tibia after his foot got caught on the inside of the slide while riding it on March 1, 2013."

Even a slide that looks twisty, fast and adventerous must have something wrong with it if your foot can get caught on the way down. Properly manufactured slides don't have things you can catch your foot on going down.

Visual inspection from the outside won't reveal that. It looks like something a reasonable person will assume is a properly manufactured slide, and make their personal safety assessment based on how twisty and steep it looks.

Perhaps "we know some people catch their foot on something on the way down which you can't see just by looking from the outside, and someone broke their leg because of it, so use at your own risk but be warned of this non-obvious risk" would be more appropriate?
