A Message to Current and Former Oxford Nanopore Employees
I think there is another point of view to this. Once you hit the 5-10M NW range as employee, you're basically free to take risky bets on start ups. You're looking for something that will be game changing (10M+) rather than another 500K in the bank.

You've got college, housing etc. covered, so it's fine to go take risks in order to get large lottery tickets.
Slowness and memory bloat is the main problem of Thunderbird. I don't know what the cause is, but it is frustrating that there are no full-featured open-source mail apps that have decent performance.

Kmail's UI can be fast, but its IMAP support is so horribly slow and buggy at least for me.
They might not have the extra money. If (let's suppose) customers have sent 1 million ETH to Kraken that's now staked, Kraken would need another million ETH just laying around in order to do this.
I have an iPhone SE2, with 86% battery health, over 86GB of storage left and performance and size that is just perfect for me.

YMMV, I guess? My portable devices float around with one USB-C cable per room just fine. Granted, that's mostly lower-power devices and I prefer to trickle-charge, but if I started running power-hungry machines then I'd move everything to nice beefy PD bricks and it'd still work.

We love the Kubotas for generators and other small workloads. Nothing else we have would fit in an automobile. The smallest yacht I have worked on had engines with ancestry in locomotives.

As another commenter suggested, I read the assertion about "the largest marine engine manufacturers use mass-produced automotive engines" as "largest engine" not as "largest manufacturer". Maybe the author intended the latter.
None of this has anything to do with what I said.
The wind is blowing pretty frequently - the problem is actually more often one of transmission - there is not enough capacity on the grid to transfer energy from the relatively remote areas it’s produced, such as the Irish Sea, to consumers.

Further investment in transmission from snowdonia and expansion of pumped storage facilities could go a long way.
It's so weird to post the first thing that feels like a thought, just to carry water for CEOs who are never going to see you write this, and will never like you, without getting paid for it. 1300s feudal serfdom mindset. And it's everywhere.

If you're continuing to hire past these layoffs, and expanding plans to do so, it's to take advantage of the environment created by the layoffs. If there really was a fiscal crisis you'd also see mass hiring freezes, but we're not seeing that.

I share this feeling. Two years ago, when I switched job, I got 3 offers after only 1-2 interviews in each of the companies (there were several "no"s, of course).

This year, I have 4 promising leads, each of them having at least 4 interviews.
I think it sort of is unless someone is a real name that lots of companies would fall over themselves to hire. For most tech workers--not limited to developers--if you decide to hang up your cleats in your late 50s or 60s, it's probably going to be difficult to change your mind a couple of years later. Part-time consulting is probably easier though. (Probably less so at the moment.)
Your contract doesn't say 40 hours a week. It says get the job done and make sure your role keeps the company making money.
There is also the idea with banking that I am trusting the bank with my money but I do have the option to withdraw the funds and put them under the mattress.

At least in the US, the idea of eliminating the ability to withdraw an account is absurd.

That form of money will simply never be widely used in the US. I believe the digital yuan already has this problem of just not being used enough.

Traditional insulin is cheap in the US. The price has not changed in a decade. Nobody wants it, it is a product of last resort.

Modern insulin is protected by moats, two of which are intellectual property and regulatory approval. Modern insulin being cheaper in other countries is because they are not following the same trade and approval laws. The way to match abroad prices would be to change protections and approvals, the latter of which is and has been happening over the last five years.

I've seen companies where this was presented as a benefit. The small ones said things like "you have X ours a week you can spend working on whatever part of our product/infrastructure you want, even outside your current role!" while bigger ones restricted it to "corporate hackathons" (aka work after hours for a cold pizza and some warm beer).

If there's a why to persuade an engineer to work for free, out there there's at least a couple MBAs who've tried it.
Ask HN: Is Motivation the Answer for Everything?
Earning money, is about motivation, and how much you want to earn that money. Becoming famous, is how much enthusiasm you have which is also derived from motivation. Those are just a few examples, and I'm sure there are a lot more.

Is motivation just the answer for happiness, or just, everything other than health? Or I will rephrase it: are we, humans, biologically limited by our own mind? Is the mind of Alex different from Steve?

If you are talking R-values - you are right. But if we get a bit more practical, walls have a bunch of thermal mass (drywall on the inside, stucco on the outside, at least in my case ). During the summer, i have walls that get to ~30C on the inside. So even when it's evening/night, and temperature outside drops to 15C from 35C during the da, I open windows and run whole house fan, those walls keep on heating the air inside while lowly R rated glasses shed the temperature quickly. So in my case doubling insulation in wall (in order to prevent drywall from heating up) likely to provide more effect than bumping R value of the glass.

I used to use imapbackup but I wouldn't say they are better tools:

- They rarely support OAUTH directly so it can be a pain to set up with gmail

- You still need a viewer to navigate the backup when you need it (usually a full mail client though there are some lighter maildir frontends)
I don't think you disagree. The point is that JPEG has the constraint: make an image as similar as possible to the source image which not going over x kilobytes. LLMs have no similar constraint, so calling them "compression" is a false analogy; they're not trying to compress information, they're using their dataset to learn general facts about e.g. syntax and culture.
They are talking about ML, which is statistical pattern matching and finding.

Gödel ruined the fun of automated theorem testing a century ago unless we make significant discoveries in math.

Type inference is an accessable example of SOTA automated reasoning if you want a more realistic idea of what our current constraints are.

We will be restricted to Human assisted Turing machines for the foreseeable future unless there is a major development in pure math.

Remember we can't even build a logically consistent model of arithmetic due to Gödel.
Yes! Team Lead has a management component to it. You often handle 1-on-1s, promotions, conflicts resolution, lead hiring processes, act a middleman to other parts of the company, but you still code (unlike a "pure" manager). Tech lead is more of a tech-only role, and there's often a non-coding manager present as well. All IME of course.

I've been running Thunderbird in the background without problems the last 15-odd years on whatever computer I had at the time. Still do. No performance problems running 20+ mail accounts with loads and loads of mail. Ofcourse it can be slow if you do things that requires TB to recreate the mail storage but other than that I have no problem opening mail and reading it fast. I'm using both IMAP and POP3 accounts mixed.

I believe there are settings you can run that might create more problems with performance but I haven't touched anything the last 5 years so can't say what it was any more.

It seems to me that by this description, whether or not it's a security is basically how it's marketed?

You could also explain such a product as simply a custodianship that is able to hold your eth in a staked state for you, with no promise of return at all, only a claim to whatever the staked eth amounts to in its own domination at the time you'd like to withdraw.

Also these returns are denominated in the staked currency, there is no - and had never been - a promise of returns in USD. I don't actually know: does that make a difference, technically speaking? It would seem that it should.
I dunno. I'm pretty sure the lack of barriers to entry, inconvenient and costly certification, and safety nannying helped windsurfing get ahead there too. That and dinghy clubs inevitably devolve into race clubs that revolve inexorably around the race safety boat, and if you just want to noodle about or explore you're out of luck unless you are geographically lucky or you can afford a yacht.

> It's not the certification: flying is an expensive hobby, with a huge time commitment.

People have plenty of expensive and time consuming hobbies. All hobbies are at least time-consuming, that's what a hobby is.

All certifications add to the expenses. It's the reason why one can't buy a headset off amazon and have to pay 1k for a used headset. Sure, safety requires certifications but I guess we went overboard. It's also the reason why GA aircraft are expensive to this day, even those build 40 years ago. It's pretty expensive to keep maintaining old tech at low volumes. I'm rooting for Diamond and their car-derived engines (as well as the Experimental aircraft scene).

Note that boats are also notoriously expensive.

There's a very good parallel to your example: gliders. You want to fly cheap (just to fly, not to go places)? Go soaring. Problem is, it's even more location-dependent.

I very much agree with you. However, had they actually run a proper long term study as was originally planned (2 years), we would have had conclusive results.

I suspect they knew the results would show clearly and definitely that the vaccine saved no lives, if not worse, and so they dishonorably ended the control group early (and their cronies at the FDA/CDC allowed them to get away with it).

Here's a simpler scenario that doesn't involve reading:

Me: There is a banana on the table. Someone comes and peels the banana and shows you that inside it, there is actually a carrot! Then they carefully stick the peel back so it look unpeeled. What is inside the banana skin?

ChatGPT: According to the scenario described, there is a carrot inside the banana peel that has been carefully placed back to look unpeeled.

Me: Billy comes into the room. Please speculate about what they might think is inside the banana peel?

ChatGPT: Billy, upon entering the room and seeing the unpeeled banana on the table, would most likely assume that there is a banana inside the peel, as that is what one would typically expect to find. However, it's possible that they might have some suspicion or doubt, especially if they saw someone previously peeling the banana and acting strangely. In that case, Billy might investigate further to see if there is indeed a banana inside or if something else is inside the peel.

> I should probably publish this document at some point

I'd be interested in seeing it. It sounds like a pretty good idea. It's incredible to me how effective even the worst phishing email/sites are and to me that's an indication that not enough is being done to point out clear warning signs to users.

> Phishing sites themselves are all over the place and working with hosting abuse teams to take them down is a gargantuan task. Working with a shortener who's linking to it to take it down would prevent every recipient of the message from being duped.

The URL shorteners can be the worst. They don't seem to care who creates a link to something, and don't do even basic checking of whats at the other end. You'd think a person creating a link to yet another URL shortener would set off major flags, but they don't seem to care.

Same with survey/form sites that keep being hijacked for phishing purposes. They don't bother with even basic checking for scams either. If someone creates a form with a password field that'd be easy to flag for review, but it doesn't happen. I can report a bunch of identical phishing sites that were created with URLs like:
random_form_builder_site.com/targetcompanyname001

random_form_builder_site.com/targetcompanyname002

random_form_builder_site.com/targetcompanyname003

and while they'll generally take them down, they'll do nothing to prevent:

random_form_builder_site.com/targetcompanyname004

random_form_builder_site.com/targetcompanyname005

random_form_builder_site.com/targetcompanyname006

from being created. Not checking for targetcompanyname in the url of new forms/surveys, and not bothering to check to see if the 12 new sites someone just created are identical to the last 12 they were asked to disable.

Anything that can be done to help make those sites less attractive to users before they even click the link in the email they got would really help.

True, game theory makes it less likely a good strategic first move, but you can always come up with scenarios where a super predatory race has set up the signal a long time ago to target nascent space-faring civilizations to preempt them. If the newer civ gets past that, then the aggressive aliens up the threat level and take more drastic action.
> What did these companies do to deserve almost all of our spectrum

They paid for that spectrum, and they fulfilled licensing commitments to built a network that hundreds of millions of people can access and use.

The FCC has special licensing terms and incentive programs for small businesses, non-profit organizations, and individuals. It actually is dead simple, and it’s cheap or free too. Their only ask is that is that the licensee serve the public interest and cover the population with services that they can actually use. This is the exact reason why mega corporations look like they’re preferred over the small players: the small players can’t fulfill that commitment.

The EBS spectrum, which is now used so profitably by Sprint/T-Mobile, was given away for free to academic institutions. They initially intended for it to be used for academic television, but most of those channels ended up not being used, so they gave them free reign over what to do with it. Unburdened from restrictions on how to use the spectrum, and what did they do with that freedom? They leased it to Sprint for the sweet sweet cash payout. As far as I can tell, there isn’t a single academic institution using that precious midband spectrum for a mesh network.

So again, the premise here is simple: all you have to do is build something that people use. If you can do that better than a mega corporation, and at low costs to the end users, you will almost certainly have the favor of the FCC. They’ll fucking give you spectrum for free. So just do it already.

>"but are we losing some fundamental part of teamwork by leaving the office? And does it really just make us more expendable?"

I do not believe I am special in any way but I am remote since 2000 and while working with the clients I often work with teams. At no point I felt like I am loosing some "fundamental part". Maybe because work team is work team and nothing more. I do not consider work as a source of friends even though I have acquired couple this way. Mostly I have friends outside of work.
