Doubt. UKR doing ok on battlefield but strategically it will be a dead country for generations. Vast unrecoverable levels of human capita loss, most of whom will never go back. UKR is going to be demographic deadend for the foreseeable future even if they manage to rebuild, which is far from certain as RU can drag conflict out for long time. That's going to be increasingly obvious as war continues.

TW won't be that lucky, reality is it's too small and close to PRC backyard to rebuild. PRC can ensure TW stays a subsistence society post war forever. And that's going to be the lesson / choice TW politicians will draw, they can look at integrated HK or free UKR (really, Yemen/Palestine) and decide.

Could also be that they have enough money saved up and don't actively need a job, so they're happy to ride this one out until the end and because they don't need the job they don't really get stressed or anything - if they get fired no big deal.

> they sound like Taiwan is unequivocally part of the PRC

No, they sound like Taiwan is part of China, something the entire world and Taiwan itself officially recognizes.

It's like the US had a civil war and the losing side flees to Hawaii and in 2090 we still arguing whether it is part of not of US or should it declare independence.
I used to attempt this often as well. Had a few minor wins, but typically I was met with polite indifference, told it was their department. Which is fortunately better than active sabotage.

One group was even bewildered I was able to integrate a department client app with their ticket database. Reduced necessary clicks by 95% or so. They didn't think it was possible. Yes, this is the caliber of folks working at a big corporation.

Thanks, just joined. One thing I noticed is that the CI/CD setup for GitHub/lab is still based on the CI files themselves. What I like about Coolify and didn't like about others is that I could simply install a GitHub app to my account and Coolify would automatically pull my repositories and even set up git push to deploy for me, no messing around with CI files needed.

If this isn't just playing "follow the leader" behind companies like Meta and Amazon, I wonder if it's related to loss of revenue from customers balking at the exorbitant rates for Jira and Confluence. I understand there's a balance between selling as wide as possible and then having to support that wider dispersal (to eventually diminishing returns) but from the outside the numbers seem rather unreasonable. I know at least two large companies who are actively looking for a replacement because of that (even with the understood compromise in features this might entail).
They hold that official position because China demands they do to maintain relations. The US and most other western countries don't actually believe that.

Also beware of neglecting to fulfil the responsibilities and expectations of the lane you are ultimately being evaluated in, especially earlier in your career. I've given the (common) advice to junior engineers to become the team expert in one thing relevant to the team (something akin to this was even in the SDE1-2 promotion rubric at Amazon), but occasionally that advice needs tempered by subsequent advice on not tunnel-visioning on that one thing (and/or choosing a more relevant thing).

Broadly agree with the article and the general advice here though!

This is an old doc from fly so I’m not sure how much of it is still accurate, but it talks about some of the stuff Heroku didn’t have that they have: https://fly.io/docs/app-guides/speed-up-a-heroku-app/

> There's no support for a single dedicated IP address for your application. With Heroku, your application's CPU resources are mostly located in one datacenter. Heroku doesn't support HTTP2 or Brotli compression and it doesn't do Edge TLS termination. And it doesn't run your applications on dedicated MicroVMs. These are all things that Fly's Global Application Platform does.

The other comment that mentions Heroku dropping low cost plans is the reason for the explosion in growth as I understand it though.
> At least in the 70s, if you gamed your way into admission at Caltech by doing test prep, coaching, having someone else do your application essays, etc., you were going to be sorry.

I’m sure it’s still true today. Still, the incentive to game and coach through admissions is intense because of the potential rewards.

I went to my local 4 year which was nearly free, and I coasted through the CS program making it possible to do other things.

That actually sounds like a very plausible counterfactual to someone outside the US.
This is what attracted me to the Surviving Mars series. It does a good job of constraining resources and giving you a general goal to build towards when building your settlement in a specific drop zone. You do reach a point where you feel like everything is on cruise control and there's nothing more you can really achieve, but its fun to pick up once a year at this point.
Might makes right has literally been the policy US has pursued throughout its history. What US is doing is creating a tension half way across the world from itself by funding and arming a separatist movement in a Chinese province. This is something US would never tolerate being done on its own territory.
American universities probably inherit it from Britain, where it's very common.

But it's common across Europe, you can find plenty of pictures if you search things like "graduation robes Berlin" or Prague or Paris.
"end of free social media"
Corporate and government controlled social media has been quite expensive for a long time. Stuff you do not want is forced into your feed. Your every action is tracked and recorded to be distilled into other products. Your views are censored if they do not align with those controlling it. You are locked in without any interoperable exit.

The most free social media is in the fediverse. You can run your own instance for $5-$10 a month and share it with others.
> it is immoral for an individual possession to be reliant and dependent on society.

Society is what defines the concept of land ownership and actively protects the ownership of land, so it's not possible to remove a dependency of the latter on the former.
I had the same reaction. I read the first line of the article and instantly knew I didn’t have the patience to find the content implied by the title. There have been discussions here about this problem for recipe sites especially. What I wonder is whether the majority of their readers (non HN people) also feel annoyed by this.
Yes.

Whenever a US law and a foreign law conflict, the US law always wins when you are in the United States. Complying with US laws is also a perfectly valid defense if a European citizen or state ends up bringing action against you in a US court.
For me, the diet puts HS completely into remission. I've been on the yeast and wheat-free diet for about six years.

It really is strange that the people doing the actual work don't automatically get most/all of the profits.

Considering how the mainland and Taiwan split there is never going to be a peaceful reunification as long as the communists are in power on the mainland. That's why Beijing did not care, and does not care, about the signals they send in HK.
No, it should usually look like v4, except in cases where you're using more address space and need to add more dots. NAT is here to stay, and a LAN doesn't need 128 bits of address space.
No, we can assume that because of long and well documented history of US interfering in Taiwan and pouring billions of dollars into creating a secessionist movement there.
Ask HN: When / Why / How did gambling become legal and everywhere?
In the past 6-12 months it seems that online gambling has exploded. It's disgusting to see it advertised non-stop, in our faces pretty much everywhere, but particularly bad in sports.

I was watching the hockey game last night, and they had a segment on the betting, the odds and how fanduel was just their favorite betting app... seriously disgusting... why is this even legal? Why are they talking about it on the air as part of their coverage? Why is every commercial someone really famous pushing this crap? In hockey, you've got Connor McDavid and Wayne Gretzky shilling for them; every sport has a ton of well establish pros pushing this crap. Just bizarre to see. To really get a sense of how odd this is, just change gambling to weed and imagine how that would look.

I'm sure the answer is 'the gambling community took a shit-ton of their money and dumped all over lobbyist to achieve their shity goals...'. But really, what can be done to reverse this? Like who wanted this other than the gambling industry?

Is there any way to put this genie back in the bottle? Any groups working to reverse this bs?

You are literally posting this comment on a story about CGNAT processing costs being wildly more expensive than a small ISP cares to deal with. To the point where they’re willing to buy and distribute AppleTVs to reduce costs.

Even if that price decreases in real terms, washing a whole bunch of traffic through a big-ass NAT is always going to cost more than just not doing that.

Powerful Bing Chat/AI To bypass the turns limit per session
Because that's not the way TCP was designed in the first place. Instead you're used to hack on top of hack to make IPv4 not explode in a ball of flame there are far more billions of end points than IP addresses.

The thing is you really don't realize how shit your network experiences are because of this. Everyone is just attempting to tunnel more services via HTTP/HTTPS and the particular fun problems that entails rather than having byzantine hacks built in to their NAT routers. IPv4 is no longer fit for purpose.
> I don't see this monitoring as an invasion of anyone's privacy.

I do! I consider a requirement that the government know where I am to be an invasion of privacy.

It really is too bad the constitution doesn’t actually include a right to privacy.
I think one problem is that it is a vicious circle: it is not always that the PM cannot involve devs early and trust them to make technical decisions, it's that sometimes, devs are not trustworthy because they are not understanding people.

Why would a PM involves devs early if the dev team has demonstrated that they are not interested in understanding the rest of the business?

I'm not saying it's always the case, but I have the feeling that in these conversations, the discussion is often a one-way street: a lot of devs are talking a lot about how they wish their PM is more technical or gives them more trust or freedom of decision, but a lot of them seems at the same time totally uninterested or oblivious in the possibility of changing themselves to satisfy the PM's wish. Why should the PM change to please the dev when the idea of changing to please the PM is so remote from all dev's considerations?
And if we wanted more fair taxes to pay for "roads", we should add an average vehicle weight (empty weight + fully loaded weight / 2 ) times miles driven. And it should probably be "regressive". The rate goes higher as the average weight does since heavier vehicles do more damage to roads (it's not linear). This would also require going in occasionally to have odometers read.
> 1.4 billion chinese who won the civil war don't want their island stolen from them.

They never gained control of the island.

> I think the interests of 1.4 billion chinese outweigh the losing 20 million chinese.

I tend to take the view that the interests of dictatorships can be largely disregarded. The 1.4 billion people have not held an election to elect representatives to decide on the issue of Taiwan. Chinese policy has been decided by a dictatorial elite.
I'd rather not jump to conclusions or put words in your mouth. If you believe this is propaganda, then you believe that you know who is responsible for it, and why it benefits them. So, who is pushing this, and why?

> He doesn't say valuable, he says it matters more.

What does that mean? How are these words different in this context?

> Didn't the pandemic show that those jobs that matter aren't well paid?

What the… how in the world did you derive this from the pandemic? Seems like the phrase “essential worker” confused you. The people who were allowed to keep working in person were those that were essential in the short term to provide everyday services, that’s it. This says nothing about whether software developers matter more or less, since 99% of software developers kept working anyway.

But anyway, this argument is moving the goal posts — the original article was saying that you’ll get paid more for them.

> BTW The median salary in the NBA in 2021/22 is $4,347,600, so NBA > Tech

I think this is basically true when comparing individuals. Any one of the 450 players in the nba bring more enjoyment and meaning to the average persons life than the median software developer does. (Though obviously if you compare the entire tech industry to the nba, then tech will win out.)
> There is no maximally efficient platonic system without a universally imposed definition of the measures being optimized.

Totally agree! All my global statements are gesturing towards the idea of such an idea - which is of course impossible but can be helpful to weigh alternatives.

> I just dont think we are on the same page here or think this is accurate for our system. [...]

I agree with everything you say here so I apologize for talking past you. What I was saying is that, within an investment category, higher yields chase out lower ones. It's not that the sock maker gets out-competed by bitcoin - it's that the person trying to sell "barely good enough" socks in the developed world gets zero shelf space compared to other options. Their product is profitable at the unit level, but can't find buyers efficiently enough to support the costs of doing so.

If you are searching for investment at a "below-market" rate, you are going to be at the back of the queue. Also, because you are definitionally working on low margins, your ability to adapt for unforeseen circumstances is h̶i̶g̶h̶ low, increasing your risk. That puts those kinds of financial approaches in a "high risk, low yield" quadrant as far as I can see it.

We could, of course, simply choose to build housing at close-to-cost and then package & sell that as bonds (basically). You could probably find takers, even if it's riskier than many bonds, but you need to have the funding assembled beforehand. I just mean that it's a hard problem and I see why these systems have not risen up naturally in our building ecosystem.

> valuation of my time and labor is not the same as mine

You are absolutely correct that this is an impossible problem to solve practically, but in a thought experiment it's simple to say that the central planner perfectly discovers & enumerates every individuals' value on time and labor and creates the optimal system with that in mind.

Edit: used the wrong word
If there isn't enough housing getting developed, then there isn't plenty of development
Your impressions are all true, but Taiwan hasn't given up formal claim to mainland China.

This is important because it allows the "policy of deliberate ambiguity":

> There is deliberate ambiguity regarding the government of the country of 'China' (as well as what land this country constitutes). Currently, two governments claim legitimate rule and sovereignty over all of China, which they claim includes Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, as well as some other islands.

> those from Taiwan who attend the Olympic Games and other various international organizations and events participate under the deliberately ambiguous name of "Chinese Taipei"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Policy_of_deliberate_ambiguity
> No, they sound like Taiwan is part of China, something the entire world and Taiwan itself officially recognizes.

That presumes the "official" position is the genuine position, which is often not the case.

With regards to Taiwan, "official" positions are often lies tied in knots to appease Mainland China's sensibilities.
The PRC did send troops to Korea during the Korean war, the result of which is the north Korean dictatorship that abuses it's citizens and threatens nuclear war. It also drove out the KMT, which was part of "the west" in the sense that they were the principle Chinese Allied faction combating the empire of Japan during WWII. That and continued violation of territorial waters of surrounding countries. "China hasn't laid a finger" is quite the understatement.
I mean TSMC would likely burn everything to the ground. It seems more like no one would have the chips, until the US onshores the capability, which seems much less than 20 years away.
Google could just reject their requests and force them to go to EU court. The EU court is the only reason this law would have any more bite than a local law, without it you just have Bulgaria doing their own thing and they don't have enough weight to do that.
People care as soon as it bites them. If I can't stream my music when I'm on my work VPN because the IPs are the same, that's a pain. If my wife and I can't game together online because we "have the same IP" that's a pain. There are all these little irritations that come from not having a global address, and they add up.
Or the internet.

I was being entirely selfish. I’m unlikely to ever do business with a Trumpnaut being in the tech industry. I’ve already worked with some Elon fans before, and it’s likely I will work with more going forward.

The problem with a lot of these people is that they follow the worst, most superficial aspects of their idols. It’s like when all the Jobs followers decided being a good CEO meant wearing jeans and a black turtleneck and and being assholes to everyone around you.

I’m 100% sure the majority of the Elon followers won’t bother with his work ethic, which is admirable, and instead focus on his douchebaggery and petty criminality instead.
