I respectfully but wholeheartedly disagree with your “caution” against gratitude journaling.

Saying that people who are already grateful don’t need to do this is like saying that people who are already fit don’t need to exercise.

People who aren’t fit can do exercise to get fitter, people who are already fit can do exercise to maintain that fitness. I think the same goes for being grateful and practicing gratitude.

Tufecki is definitely not a lightweight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeynep_Tufekci

Having said that, I agree that technical debt could be better explained here. I think the issue is that very old software systems tend to have a lot of technical debt, which could lead to resistance to adding new features. In this instance, the tech debt seems to have led to a fragile system that could not be updated to handle more than baseline levels of traffic, forcing the company to resort to manual solutions when a crisis occurred.
> You never hear someone claim to work at AirBnB anymore due to what the company has done to help ruin housing and rental markets.

I hear this a lot. I've always wondered if it was that easy wouldn't a lot more people be buying properties and airbnb-ing them out through local agencies ?

A lot of things could be automated in my home if HASS knew that I'm not working tomorrow, that one of us or both of us are in bed, etc., but no idea how to best tell HASS about these things and how to model all the different cases without going crazy.
Evertas Insurance | US-based REMOTE | Full-time | https://www.evertas.com/ | https://www.evertas.com/careers/

Evertas is the world's first cryptoasset insurance company. We're a Bermuda carrier, Lloyd's of London cover-holder, and have been around for almost 5 years. We write real policies which actually cover significant risk for clients, quantify premiums based on the effectiveness of deployed controls, and do professional services for clients to put better controls in place (or helping other insurance companies with underwriting and claims adjustments).

The best pitch for the company is: Join us to prevent the next SBF/FTX/3AC/Luna/Celsius... meltdown, by providing tools for the industry to police itself, provide meaningful risk transference, ensure best practices are documented and commercially required, and avoid uninformed and unproductive government regulatory retaliation instead of meaningful public/private beneficial governance -- and make a bunch of money for everyone while doing so.

(I'm Chief Security Officer; have been involved in crypto since the 1990s (blinded tokens), and I love insurance as a powerful tool to improve security across the industry. The rest of the team are also cryptocurrency and security OGs, with industry and institutional experience.)

Among other roles, we're looking to hire 1-2 Security Engineers. Primarily this is for underwriting and professional services in the cryptocurrency space, as well as research into risks in the space (and mitigations). A great thing about insurance is it's not "call in the middle of the night over a holiday with a crisis", but solving things prospectively for clients, but still having significant and meaningful impact.

We're open to security experts moving into cryptocurrency, or cryptocurrency experts moving into security, but obviously having interest in both is key (and expertise in both would be amazing). We highly value professionalism, integrity, and a problem-solving nature. Would be very interested in people who currently or recently worked at downsizing, technically excellent security teams in the crypto industry or in security-critical adjacent industries.

Please apply through the form at https://www.evertas.com/careers/ (PLEASE NO RECRUITERS)
This seems a bit nihilistic, what other sort of universe is there for humans besides a human-centric one? Shouldn't humans indeed pursue human-centric concerns?
Not all AWD implementations can adjust power per axle. The vast majority just use a center diff that is either open or limited slip. Both of those configurations are also used in some 4WD systems.

The primary distinction is that AWD is full time, while 4WD is part time and vehicles run in 2WD until the transfer case connects the second diff/axle.

Actual torque vectoring AWD systems are fairly rare and expensive compared to the AWD that has existed for 50 years, though they are becoming more common.

Here’s a good illustration of the different AWD implementations; I think you’ll find that a simple open center diff is still considered AWD and is still pretty common: https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a15102281/best-all-whe...
AI thought leaders (e.g. Elon Musk [1]) have called for AI regulation. Has this resulted in any traction with legislators? If the US has an AI regulatory body, will that not encourage AI developers who want to work outside such guidelines just do it outside the US?

Not be outdone, I asked ChatGPT [2] the same questions - here are the transcripts:

Has the call for AI regulation resulted in any traction with legislators?

There have been a number of calls for the regulation of AI in recent years, and some legislators have begun to take action in this area. In the US, for example, there have been a number of bills introduced in Congress related to AI, including the Advancing Artificial Intelligence Research Act, the FUTURE of Artificial Intelligence Act, and the Algorithmic Accountability Act.

There has also been some activity at the state level, with a number of states passing or considering legislation related to AI. For example, in 2019, the state of California passed the Artificial Intelligence Video Interviewing Act, which regulates the use of AI in the hiring process.

However, it is important to note that the regulation of AI is a complex and rapidly evolving area, and it is likely that more legislation will be needed in order to fully address the various issues and challenges related to the development and use of AI.

And:

If the US has an AI regulatory body, will that not encourage AI developers who want to work outside such guidelines just do it outside the US?

It is possible that some AI developers may choose to work outside the US in order to avoid regulation. However, it is also possible that the creation of an AI regulatory body in the US could serve as a model for other countries to follow, leading to a more consistent and global approach to regulating AI. Additionally, even if some developers do choose to work outside the US in order to avoid regulation, the presence of a regulatory body could still help to ensure that AI being developed and used within the US is being done safely and ethically.

> get an ecobee with remote sensors.

That's exactly what I thought of when I read the issue because I did that myself and it works great. My Ecobees have multiple sensors and I have zero complaint about them. Fantastic integration with HA too. I love tracking the indoors humidity graph and have alerts on when I should use more moisturizer.
From where the web started to now, the complexity makes sense. There were tons of browsers all implementing html, css, and javascript with their own quirks not to mention their own additions. For example, the father to all modern live websites, XMLHttpRequest is a Microsoft invention that was originally intended for Outlook web mail.

Honestly, it's more of the speed of design that drove the complexity. Everyone had some specific niche that they picked up and due to the volume of demand for web development there was bound to be many different approaches tried.

Eventually, that's going to mature down to a few different standards. That's already happening with web browsers, for practical purposes we have three current browser engines today, down from who knows how many.
The majority of cities actually saw an increase in their police budget. LA, which had a large defund the police movement, increased their police budget by $150 million a few months after the protests.

The "defund the police" movement was a doomed endeavor with an awful name like that. I sometimes wonder if Leftists movements are purposely giving their movements god awful names like "anti-work", "quiet quitting", and even "black lives matters".

If your movement's name has to be explained, it's purpose has already failed. You shouldn't need to explain a political movements name.

In an ideal world you would just need to "press a button". So this could happen every second day without any issue.

Of course things are more complex. Not everything is a Linux distribution where it's simple to rebuild the world.

But as the history of C++ shows people managed to life with this issue for a very long time. So it's not a show stopper in any way.

Even other very conservative languages like Java found a balance for breaking changes. The "problem" C++ has is more of a mental one, imho.

Also C++ could easily introduced the "editions" concept form Rust. This would give you all form both worlds. You could improve future version (or editions) but stay compatible to old ones at the same time.
You can probably pick any word used as a product name and find someone who claims to be genuinely offended to the core of their being by it.

I'm the Soatok Dreamseeker the author cites.

I've previously disclosed cryptographic bugs to both LastPass and 1Password. I've written about my experiences: https://furry.engineer/@soatok/109560736140669727

The post I wrote about the intersection of Passwords and Cryptography was spun off as a prerequisite for a longer post I was writing about password management from the perspective of a cryptography engineer.

As part of that post, I planned to review Bitwarden (since it's open source and therefore I don't have to expend the additional mental cycles to reverse engineer it like I did LP/1P's offerings).

The challenges faced by browser extensions with other password DKFs is that, if you want performance, you don't want to write it in a scripting language. WebAssembly might work, but the ideal outcome is to be able to call `await crypto.subtle.Argon2id(/* args */)` and get your result.

The path forward, therefore, is to get Argon2id support into WebKit, Chrome, and Node.js.

>help him negotiate a wholesale cannabis transaction in Illinois, where pot is legal. He had a buyer — a cannabis manufacturer in need of pot — so he went on LinkedIn to find a cannabis seller. Hoxworth was openly conducting an interstate drug deal on LinkedIn.

I'm not sure what the author thinks "interstate" means but this is not it. The person they are writing about wants to find cannabis for sale in Illinois for a buyer in Illinois, that is intrastate not interstate.

Ok, so ban AirBnB and more housing is available for people who want long term leases... but there's still a problem, because now we have a shortage of temporary housing.

Any solution that isn't "build a fuckton more housing units" isn't a solution at all. We need enough housing for permanent residents AND people who prefer to live in AirBnBs. Often the AirBnB people are wealthy tourists who spend a lot and stimulate the local economy, so kicking them out is a horrible idea.

Maybe... they haven't told me. I am also not sure if the EU is running large scale wiretapping operations in the U.S. and I think that the U.S. would react in a drastic way if they learned about it - as opposed to the EU.

The leading story about the HMS Birkenhead is fascinating, though looking up further info finds that of the 193 saved "the survivors comprised 113 soldiers (all ranks), 6 Royal Marines, 54 seamen (all ranks), 7 women, 13 children and at least one male civilian".

"Why are women and children on a troop transport?" is a natural next question, and apparently they were family of senior officers.
allocortech | Software or Electrical Engineer | Waynesboro, VA | Prefer Local | https://www.allocor.tech/about/work-with-us/

allocortech is a small company (14 people) building control electronics for, typically, unmanned electric aircraft and watercraft. Think motor controllers, battery management systems, and communication hubs. We do both commercial off the shelf sales and custom designs on request; which ultimately means that there is a lot of variety in the month to month projects.

Our vision is to have qualified hardware devices that our customers are free to build their software and vehicles on top of. We provide the initial know-how for robust, redundant, safety critical, and certified software development and have a framework they can leverage if they choose to do so. Ideally this means less re-inventing the wheel for them and more chance of their success.

We're searching for

* A software engineer competent in C and/or C++ with big bonus points for experience in writing device drivers and other low level hardware abstraction layers.

* An electrical engineer to help us do schematic capture and board layout. Bonus points if you've worked with or better: 6+ layer boards, 4/4mil rules, moderate pitch BGA (0.65mm), and have done signal integrity (less than 1GHz) or power domain analysis work.

We're hardware focused and haven't figured out a way to allow 100% remote; but if you come with ideas on how to make it work, we can figure something out. Otherwise we're happy to pay relocation costs and allow 50/50 time splits.

$80~150k full time + options based on experience. We deal with ITAR, so unfortunately US residents, green card holders, asylee or refugees only.

Do you think that the global economy has the same dynamics today that national economies did 200 years ago?
Thanks for sharing this tidbit.
Carbon got one obvious thing right: Culture. The most important thing Rust has that C++ doesn't is the right culture and so it was correct to focus there very early.

Unfortunately on the technical side it still feels as though the intent is to add safety, and IMNSHO that's not a good idea, you want to design safety in from principle, when it's layered on later the resulting joints and discontinuities always end up causing problems.

On the other hand I am even less confident Cpp2/ CppFront has the right idea. There's no sign that Herb Sutter groks the culture problem and he's not as focused on safety, preferring to see this in part as a vehicle to give all Herb's rejected C++ proposals a second chance. As WG21 convenor and as an otherwise important person in the C++ community Herb has opportunities for Cpp2 that don't exist for Carbon, but if this language isn't enormously safer than C++ I don't see the point.

Val certainly has the "from principle" thing. Like Rust there's a clear and articulable rationale for why this way to do things is safe. I don't know much about Val's culture, and of course like these other 2022 "successors" it's very young.
I thought the "interstate" bit comes from LinkedIn not being an Illinois company.

The Wikimedia Foundation has been hiring "Disinformation" staffers over the past year or two. Related discussion (see first section titled "Meetings about misinformation with FBI, CISA, etc.."):

The work of these Disinformation specialists apparently also includes tackling "disinformation regarding Indian and Iranian elections" (see linked discussion).

For simple things we still have Excel and Ms Access where people continue to build simple UIs for personal use. At my previous job, our CFO build own framework (Excel) to manage and automate financial reports (which makes him a full-stack developer based on industry standards)

I guess the frustration comes from the fact that historically Web started as a set of static HTML files to create/publish documents and we inertially compare todays Web with it but we if stop comparing apples with oranges than it becomes apparent that:

1. It's never been simpler to create and publish web content
2. It's never been simpler to build/ship/and distribute software

Complexity arises when people (given many options) pick wrong tool for a job.
Qubes, as great as it may be, is still another abstraction on top of an insecure base. The fact that things like spectre and meltdown are even possible is worrying. How does Qubes solve this?

As another poster said, we need some other computing paradigm, but I don't know what that would look like. All I know is something is broken if these behemoth companies with limitless resources still get it wrong.
I know those exist, but I wanted to see what HN users are rocking.

This post has more hardcore libertarian comments than usual.

PERSON: Then, in the morning, we woke to find huge rats scurrying around the bedroom.

LIBERTARIAN: The contract was for a place to sleep, and here you admit receiving that.

PERSON: And it turned out the owner was running a meth lab in the garage.

LIBERTARIAN: What business is it of yours, how the owner uses their property.

PERSON: When we told the owner we were leaving and would be complaining to Airbnb, they brandished a firearm.

LIBERTARIAN: Your stay was over, and you were trespassing. Castle doctrine.
I would go even further: I consider “earth” as the rock all the living stuff is on top of. So even if it would become a bare rock it would not care. It’s just a rock.
I take it you have never experienced an AirBnB neighbour?

The people behind me have done it a few times. How can i tell they had "guests" over?

I find beer bottles, coke cans and garbage on MY property. There is the obvious noise from the late night "pool parties" as well.

Normally people dont care what their neighbours do, but when it starts to impact others, people start to care.
