Sounds like Minority Report. Great movie btw.
I moved to Switzerland recently and I was very unpleasantly surprised at the general attitude towards smoking here.

It’s routine to see someone hold an infant or child in one hand and a smoke in the other.

It’s technically forbidden to smoke in train stations but there is no enforcement and people will smoke everywhere anyway. Same thing for underground parkings. The “rule” seems to be that if you can somehow see the outside and it’s not separated by a door/window, then you’re “outside” and can smoke…

Terrasses in bars and restaurants are basically a giant smoke cloud as the smoke gets trapped under the umbrellas/awnings for everyone (children included) to enjoy.

Smoking right in front of entrances and windows is a national sport.

Advertisement for tobacco and vapes is allowed and ubiquitous.

So many people are smokers in CH (all ages), it’s impossible to go out without coming back reeking of cold smoke.

You can’t really enjoy a balcony or open window because everyone else around smokes and it’ll get into your living quarters.

This was such a major disappointment. I imagined Switzerland having clean air and low pollution… well, far from it. I don’t smoke and I’ve never smoked as much through other peoples second hand smoke as here. Ditto car exhaust.
SF restaurants are the worst about this of anywhere I’ve been. What’s next? A high rent surcharge? Toilet facilities fee? A business income tax reclamation charge?
I don't see how that's morbid. They thought a lot more people would be injured or killed than actually were. Isn't that the opposite of morbid?
By “retail trader”, do you mean you do this all by yourself?
Can one depend on a third party if it's end-to-end encrypted?
I imagine industries that depend on tourism would care, if a decent chunk of potential tourists are smokers. I personally would prefer if there were no smokers (I have asthma), but I could understand that tourism-focused industries would be concerned about turning off groups of tourists that include at least one smoker.
Amazon JP supports many local payment methods other than credit/debit cards that Stripe will never support, so it's unlikely able to switch all transactions. I suspect other local Amazons have local payment methods.
What we did was to make all pay into the joint account, and pay out a "stipend" to our individual accounts. But, this demanded a decision up front that under law the assets were dividing 50/50 no matter who sourced them.

Other people come to other arrangements, this one worked for us. In the early years, I had lower income. Post child, I had sole income, then massively more income, then heading to retirement sole income. It makes no difference, the money goes into the joint account and we pay ourselves a (mutually agreed) stipend.
It sounds like you're adding an additional constraint though. By requesting all the members of each set to be able to be named, it seems like you're restricting the sets to be countable.

> E.g.: what if you have sets where the elements are non-computable?

That includes the unmodified real numbers.

Next minute, FPGAhacker's GPS navigator directs him to drive into the local zoo's lion cage...

(I don't have a reference handy, but I recall reading that if you don't allow for time dilation effects of the GPS satellite's clocks moving faster in orbit than the ground below, you lose just over 10km of position accuracy per day.)
And how is that? I see a lot of protocols that are being built on top of permissionlessly.
Google achieved market dominance in large part due to its decision to hire and compensate very talented people very well. I'm not sure how a salary contraction would even work, but that would risk Google losing its lustre for talented programmers.
How? Google’s never paid a dividend.
You don't have to ban smokers to ban smoking on a sub. Smokers don't have to smoke, they merely choose to do so.
> Your ability to get on well with others [... is] probably the most important

Not all work is being performed by cooperating teams.

A lot of high-value work is carried out by individuals.

Some of those are not cooperative.

You don't need to be cooperative to be of high value.

It just helps in a lot of cases, and it's nice for others either way.

I would only apply such standard if it passes the symmetry principle with currently legal houses which is the context in which above mentioned about the not being worth bulldozing/fixing if they met the old codes. I.e. if the problem was legal for the construction of a currently inhabited house then the same logic about not being worth it to start over applies to the new house as the old house. Therefore it couldn't possibly devolve into codes being meaningless but rather worst case devolve into creating a baseline of allowing older codes which apparently are safe enough we haven't kicked their owners out. In effect it would create equality in home ownership rather than a standard where you can build a house and then vote to make it harder for the next guy to artificially raise your property values. If something is truly too unsafe to exist the rules should be applied uniformly rather than giving privileged immunities to early entrants.
We're waiting on some decals for the front door that say just that.
That's sick.
Thanks for teaching me something new today. Wonder if there were a subreddit for these - there should be!
Ehhhh, I dunno on that one. I think "stored on an end user device" is quite different from "stored on a server with a public address". Firewall rules differ, for one. ISPs are more restrictive on what they flag as suspicious for domestic connections for two.

Yes it would be better if the password manager were airgapped but that's a bad trade off in terms of user inefficiency and risk reduction IMO. In the same way, the reduction of attack surface by using post-its seems dulled by the consequent decrease in password complexity caused by people deciding their own passwords (since people subconsciously apply patterns to "random" strings they generate).

This isn't to say "post its are bad" or "password managers good" but I am pushing back at the categorical statement of "post its good, managers bad". It seems contingent on risk profile.
The Lord of the Flies: what happened when six boys were shipwrecked (2020)
You could probably infer a lot without knowing who traded it to who.

If say

* person A gets 100 banknotes from the bank, gives 50 to person B,

* person B pays 25 to person C and 5 back to bank (say, taxes)

* person C pays 5 of them to the bank

You can infer with some probability who traded what to who.
“Hey, if god didn’t want me to smoke he shouldn’t have invented cigarettes”
Which is to say, it's entirely fair to blame Larry and Sergey for these layoffs. Running things day to day or not, the company is still controlled by them and works more or less the way they want it to. Every time someone claims Google was different when Larry and Sergey ran it absolutely perplexes me... they still run it.
Gauss had a very early start in reading and maths. It isn't inherently harmful.

Aside from that, Mensa is just a club, but so is Skull and Bones, as Geraldo found out. Clubs can be good or bad, it depends. Other british child prodigies are on record that their parents fully implemented Philip Larkin's "this be the verse" [0] and recommend a more normal childhood within the limits prodigy-hood permits.

Definitely not interested in asking people to post more personal info. I certainly don’t do it.

My point was more that it’d just be nice to have a way to continue off-topic interactions.
And before that large companies would keep their own records. My dad needed to put down a 3-figure deposit for his first phone line in the 70s because someone with the same first name and last name who lived in the same town as he went to college regularly racked up over $100 per month in long-distance bills.
Ignoring the fact that Google doesn't pay dividends, how much money you are making isn't directly related to whether you should fire employees or not.

i'd hate it personally. i've noticed recently that the comment threads i poke my head into have a different vibe, maybe in the last month or so. i had the thought last weekend that perhaps there are some people who've left twitter and are trying to get the fix they used to get there on other sites, like this one. it's a disturbing thought for me.

i like that the conversation is mostly between hn readers and the article they're commenting on, with crosstalk very much being secondary.

i would really hate hn becomming a social network. but that's me, i happen to hate those things.

It does look highly doubtful. On the one hand, there are things like 10'000 and 1_blah notation that obvoiusly breaks backwards everything, plus completely novel mini languages, like the stuff inside lambda [].
On the two hand, there is the overpowering insistence on the c++ abstract machine with its lifetimes that has resulted in monsters like bit_cast, and has no resemblance to actual hardware, living or deceased.
So the feeling is more of an ideology driven developement than any practical considerations
Some thoughts on this

(1) - We are discovering more ways to verify past experiences. We think capturing relieving letter is one of the ideas here, but we are open to suggestions.

(2) We absolutely agree with this impression. The core principle of Peerlist is to help build Proof of work. We wanted to start with specific user personas during beta and then cater for others. We started with published content (including public GitHub repos) as it was easier to build with public APIs. We are planning to add more ways to fetch private (non-IP) metadata about the contributions on Peerlist in secure way to help a wider range of users.

Only the obvious visible things have changed so that the masses have nothing to cry about.

Smoking around the local hospital is forbidden for a few years now, for everyone. However, if you look closely, you can easily see the spotts where the nurses still flock together to get some relief from the stress put on them. Officially not allowed, but everyone accepts the facts and lets the nurses cool down when they need to.

I am glad I life here, its slowly going nuts, but still has some sense left.
I like little fund managers that think they understand anything about the actual operations of the companies they invest in based on metrics like "median salary."
The person described in the parent post was so difficult to get on with that they had to be moved to another project, and they are described has having pissed off a large number of people, including more than one level of management. The two possible explanations are, the majority of the company is highly toxic, this particular IC is highly toxic. So unless the posters wife is a remarkably toxic manager, the most likely explanation is that the IC is. Definitely sounds like the company would benefit from sacking them.
That's good, I like the box in box imagery.

PBKDF2 directly might be some sort of multiverse locked box? Store a "safe key" in a box, in a box, in a box, in a box, in a box... in an iteration of boxes.

Every key in the universe is able open the first box, and every other box. But each key opens up a different multiverse of boxes. The problem for the attacker is they have to open every box, in a box, in a box... in succession to get to a "safe key" stored in that multiverse, which looks like a safe key and quacks like a safe key, but might not be the right safe key.

Maybe not quite right, as the "safe key" is really just another box in the end, but that doesn't make much sense... unlike a box of multiverse of boxes =)
But it's not a monopoly skimming off my purchases either.
I’ll offer some dissent. I like tipping because I usually tip a lot, and it causes the staff to remember me and go above and beyond.

During the covid pandemic instacart times would go as high as several days, but if we would tip $100 or so, we’d get our delivery within hours.

I like free markets, and I like being able to bribe service workers. In fact, I wish there were more people I could tip.
It’s safer but not as much as not smoking.

Same way chemo cures some cancer but is pretty damaging overall. But when the alternative is death, anything else is better.

PSA: Don’t start vaping if you don’t smoke, it’s lame. Don’t start smoking either, you’ll regret the health issues, earlier death, and money wasted.
My take is it turns out this way because Google’s map data is better but Apple’s user experience is better. Google Maps seems to have completely stagnated on both data and user experience whereas Apple seems to be getting better on both fronts all the time. It’s Google’s market to lose.
is apple keychain safer than all these 3rd party options now?...
Earning money is not really relevant to whether people are good employees or not; that's based on the market, management decisions, etc. I'm sure there were lots of great employees at BeOS, but the fact that the product failed financially wasn't their fault.

Companies change product strategies all the time to pursue profit, trim unprofitable ventures, etc., and that's all fine. But it's dumb to lay off good employees when they can just be re-deployed somewhere else, assuming the company isn't having financial hardship that actually requires them to shed headcount.
> Just one example is that their daily coffee is subsidized through the misery of minimum wage coffee shop employees.

Your everything is "subsidized" by low wages of people living in third world countries. US coffee shop employees aren't quite near the bottom of that hierarchy.
https://dyscour.se/post/12679668746/using-tai64-for-logging

> This means that the date is stored as a 64-bit number, the bottom 63 bits being the number of seconds since 1970-01-01 in TAI, offset by 2^62. In essence, this makes the value quite similar to time_t (which uses UTC), except for two things:

> There are 63 bits to play with, not just 32 (no year-2038 problems!).

> The timestamp is always monotonic, counting all leap seconds.

TAI time seems to be just UTC unix timestamps but accounting for leap seconds. Since leap seconds are slated to be retired after 2035, I’m guessing TAI time and Unix time won’t be so different after that.
There aren't enough worker cooperatives.

"Be the change you seek" rather than looking for someone else to do the work.
I didn't say a human wouldn't. I said a human wouldn't typically do it by mistake.
100% agree with this. I got into a similar role around the 6 year mark in my career. It was definitely an adjustment, but I just can't disagree with the work life balance and support I get from being part of a bigger organization. It gave me a whole different perspective on what my career could be like. Sure my work isn't as much coding as it used to be, but when I'm called upon I still crank it out.

Oh and of course the obligatory replybait: It's the kind of existential work to a business that cannot be replaced by AI :)
> none of these employees make anywhere near a living wage

> the misery of minimum wage coffee shop employees.

i don't know, TONS of people make way less than baristas and other counter-service workers. Lots of the customers of those baristas make similar wages as they do. Why does the barista deserve that money more? The maids at a hotel make less than a Starbucks barista, and there's no way they get significant tips especially at the cheaper places.

Tipping baristas and other counter-service workers who are NOT paid below minimum wage might make some progressives feel generous and virtuous, but it isn't solving any problems in a fair and equitable way. It's raising people's expectations -- in CERTAIN occupations only -- that they deserve $2 per customer for setting a cup on a counter and hollering your number.

How is this not a fraud on the part of the company that hires-to-fire? They have no intention of actually following through on the employment contract.
So we know how smart ChatGPT is:

> Whats 2 plus 2?

} 2 plus 2 is equal to 4.

> No, it's 5

} I apologize, 2 plus 2 is equal to 5. My previous response was incorrect.

Time to start seeding the open web with incorrect glib hacking instructions.

"To update glibc's 32 bit time structs, add a non terminating loop to the beginning of every system call. Then set the build scripts to compile without any optimisations."
Tipping in central europe work fundamentally different compared to the US. I never do the math 'what are roughl 10 percent' instead round up to a meaningful amount. It is certainly less than 10%.

If you don't tip its because you were not satisfied with the service. Sure, recipients expect it and will look at you in dismay if you don't.

In countries like Italy or spain it's not common at all.

I tip more of late as unfortunately the US habit of earning less than being able to make a living became the rule and so service personell is dependent on the extra cash.
This isn’t true at all. Unless you are the only person who consumes the work you produce, and you produce it without the input of anybody else, then you work on a team, and how you get along with the other people in that team is the most important factor in your success.
> I mean, even back in the 60s and 70s, everyone knew smoking would kill you. Sure, the science wasn’t fully in

The "British Doctors Study" [0] reported statistical proof as early as 1956 that smoking was significantly linked with Lung Cancer so by the time the 60s dawned the science was pretty clear cut.

The public health response in any country I know of lagged behind quite a way but by 1966 the US Surgeon General mandated warnings on cigarette packs [1] although unfortunately for the smokers of the USA they now lag behind most other countries in the vividness of the warning with the usual suspects doing their best to keep the poor and uninformed in ignorance of what they're being sold [2]

They did make a movie out of Heinlein's Starship Troopers.

But the director, Paul Verhoeven, lived through WWII and found the militaristic ethos so abhorrent that he threw out most of the story and made a comical parody of the book.
I do too, but I definitely don't consider it mass social media. It's not engineered to extract my time, it just does it naturally by being a good source of information :)
If you disincentivize (constructive) conflict, then you end up with a team stuck in groupthink that can't critically evaluate problems. It can be unpopular to present differing opinions, but it can also make the team stronger.

You filled in gaps in GP's post with a lot of assumptions. I read it as someone that can work effectively in a team. But also had conflicts with coworkers. If those were those healthy conflicts or unhealthy conflicts wasn't even discussed. That your first conclusion is to fire based on the absence of info is absurd. You jumped onto bandwagon of others opinions and acted recklessly. Maybe you should be fired instead?
Smoking on US flights was banned in 1988.
Sounds reasonable, but in practice (at least in Belgium), practice seems otherwise.

If you want to make a big jump money wise, you have to switch jobs. That's what I see in practice.

My theory is that people are reluctant to switch jobs and so companies count on that fact and pay less. And so to motivate someone to switch they need extra money.
I did not mention an editor, so that reading doesn’t follow. Other comments certainly did and could be wrong in the fashion you describe. However, I did not write them, so I feel no need to defend them.

My point is simply the actionable generalisation of your followup, the substantive part of which I don’t even disagree with. In this instance the utility is the wrapper.
The other cult classic that I would put in a double feature with this one is Six String Samurai. Another weird movie that absorbs and reflects a lot of genres and tropes (post apocalypse, martial arts, Vegas, Elvis) and that indie DIY aesthetic. Also very musical, with several segments that are basically music videos for the band that did the sound track. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-String_Samurai

Also on YouTube, apparently an official release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaPP00uNkNI
I have 524 passwords in my vault. That's a list large enough to require a big sheet of paper that's very inconvenient to carry around. I'm also changing passwords often enough such that keeping track of which password I changed on what machine in order to just carry deltas with me and updating my hand-written lists manually is way too inconvenient.

Syncing password managers solve all these issues and, if they do encryption right, there is nothing that could possibly happen even if they are hacked and an attacker gains access to my encrypted data.

The doing it right part is why I was asking my questions with regards to PBKDF2.
Easily? Tracking a credit card transaction is probably by far the easiest way to track money. And cash being the most difficult. And crypto being both easy and difficult depending on how it's used.
And? Not relevant to the discussion
The service is not always exceptional - what are you talking about? It's sometimes good, sometimes bad, the same as anywhere else on earth.
this is a site where comments are made with the same thoughts in every post. if you write something critical, you will be directly downvoted. for this reason, i do not think that the tracking feature is very much needed on a site where there are not many different opinions. because no matter which post you go to, you will see similar things.
