Restic + rclone + GCP Service Account.

This is the way to go. Files will count towards the Service Account, not your account. If you use Google Workspace I strongly recommend using a Shared Drive (instead of sharing a folder in “My Drive”) so the files will be owned by your org, not by the Service Account (otherwise deleting the SA would result in the files being deleted as well, because in “My Drive” the creator of a file keeps ownership even when creating in a shared folder). If you have problems with the 400,000 files limit in a Shared Drive: create a new one, rclone has a “union” backend. It can be set to create new files in the new Shared Drive while still showing files from the other drive(s). Also Shared Drives have their own recent activity views so it doesn’t clutter your “my drive” view.

Create a SA in GCP and generate a JSON credentials file. Create a folder or Shared Drive via web and share it with the SA.

I’m using this setup for years with zero problems.

It's not about what I personally believe or think is unfair. It's about what Republicans (broadly speaking) believe. There is massive resentment from people on the right who think the Twitter rules unfairly elevated some political opinions as good/correct/acceptable while treating others as unacceptable.

The handling of trans issues is just one example to illustrate the problem here. People on the left think trans rights are human rights while people on the right think a lot of trans issues should be open for discussion, legislation, persecution, etc. I think if we're being intellectually honest most would acknowledge that as a country we are far from consensus on many of the details here (bathrooms, girls sports, etc), and yet Twitter's rules and enforcement actions behaved as if the leftist view of transgender people is the only valid and permissible view.

The handling of January 6 and the banning of Trump is another example.

These things are Rorschach tests; people apply their biases and reach very different conclusions about what should be done. I don't claim to know the solution, I'm just trying to sketch out the problem with the way things were creating a climate where a big segment of the US felt unwelcome and resentful toward the platform.

This presents a problem for the platform, since you can't afford to alienate large double digit percents of the population if your mandate from shareholders is to grow mDAU by any means necessary. In that context, having some metrics tracking in place to measure the impact of algorithm changes on democrats and republicans to see whether impact is disproportionate is a completely rational thing to do.
She sold livestock at auction. After sale she offered to buy it back from the buyer, who agreed. The auction house decided that regardless of their amicable agreement the goat needed to be killed. The auction house then utilized their connections with the police, who used taxpayer money and resources to file criminal charges, get a warrant, took the goat, and returned it to the auction house, who then killed it and fed it to people. All to teach a 9 year old girl that meat comes from animals.

The vercel.app domain gave it away.
Considering it's criminals we're talking about here, they can easily use some rasomware attack on a few people and then use those bitcoins to pay for whatever they need, and noone can identify them through bitcoin "traffic".
You've got this exactly right. We're not your family. We are an employer. I think we offer a special opportunity. We give our employees a lot of freedom to structure their work day. There's no office, it's all remote.

What we're really just looking for is a healthy mix of passion and experience in the field. I believe that people do their best work when it's easy for them to wake up in the morning, they have low stress, they like their colleagues and don't hate the stuff they are working on. Even better if you're passionate about the work you're doing. That gives you a lot of energy to actually perform the work, and for us we're getting great results. This makes our company more valuable, we get more customers and revenue. We can increase your salary and you live a good life. Everybody wins, no?

So people should not try to read something into what I wrote above that's simply not there.

Tell my why you want to work at WunderGraph. Tell my why you think you'd perform good work. That's all.

Please don't write a cover letter. Keep it simple. The best of the best can say a lot with few words.
I'm JoshCole and I didn't find your reply to be a nitpick; you are right that the probability ought to be higher than 1%. My calculation was simplistic and I felt it was prudent to arrive at low probability, because I think probability of wanting something given claim of wanting it removed should probably not be anywhere near close to certain. My estimate isn't 1% though. It was just a short thing to share that gave an intuition for why it might be reasonable to assume he didn't know or want it.

In my opinion if you really care about this topic the right thing to do is ask someone at Twitter when the change was made. Getting more information would make us converge on the true estimate faster than arguing the odds IMO. Feel free to update me with the results if you do end up doing that so I can adjust my beliefs accordingly. I'm not going to try to gain this information, because I don't think the question matters much.
HKG and BOM. Thank you!!!
Automatic weapons that can mow down an auditorium are already illegal without a special license.

What's needed is a ban on semiauto rifles and pistols in civilian hands without a license. While we're doing that, may as well restrict all firearms.
I second this

Risk management (especially with the js people) seems to be "lol what's that?"

> The video is mostly of the upper classes and military. Looks nice but I'm pretty certain I'd prefer to live now.

There are plenty of other videos from the 1900s era.

And sure, we are more comfortable now, and it would be hard to go back to those times, but I'm not really focused on their material comforts.

My point is that the English - as a people - were thriving in those days, and most of their thriving has since been destroyed by modernity.

I want to attack the Whig Historiography concept that a bright future will just spontaneously emerge, when all the indicators are that England is in a state of steep decline in comparison to where it was 100 years ago - even though the GDP has never been higher!
I can't wait for them to challenge the decision in court. The only rather strong point made by the authority is that they don't do anything to actually check that minors of age 13 can't use the service.

Apart from that, they would have a very good argument against most of the claims of the authority based on freedom of speech and information. They're essentially in the business of providing information
I agree in essence but I disagree it's fundamentally flawed to teach current tooling first. A lot of (aspiring) programmers and companies don't really care about actual technical competence. They just need to do something gainful for the day and get paid. The fact that I go about it differently doesn't mean they are wrong of flawed.
Right so not the phones then
Maybe if you shut a laptop while it's syncing and then start editing the same things on a different computer without considering that you should finish the sync, but that seems pretty niche.

Are you sure those people were using their own personal dropbox folders? If they were sharing with each other that's a different thing entirely and requires a lot more care to avoid problems.
From their docs: (https://docs.worldcoin.org/)

In broad strokes, this is how World ID works.

- User gets their World ID in a compatible wallet (e.g. the World App).

- User receives credentials in their World ID. The flagship credential is biometric verification, currently available by using the Orb. The user can also verify their phone number to obtain the respective credential.

- Project integrates with World ID.

- User connects their World ID to authenticate, and optionally prove they are a unique human doing something only once. The user's wallet will generate a Zero-Knowledge Proof to accomplish this.

- Project verifies the Zero-knowledge Proof, either by using the API or by verifying on-chain.
And IoT or 3D printing. Pretty much everything on that "Future of technology" list is written from the perspective of something having knowledge of the future. When impersonating someone who would write a piece from 1987, it failed at unlearning concepts that weren't known at that time. That could become an interesting experiment: can AI pretend ignorance in a credible way?
Isn't it a problem if the CEO of Twitter doesn't care about his/her tweets, and the general public doesn't care either?
> We're not offering you a job. We offer you the opportunity to work together with a smart bunch of people on a very hard problem.

I think this can be a trap. I'm not saying that your company does this, but I've learned to be wary of this. We've all heard of game programmers who are in endless "crunch mode" for less salary than they can get elsewhere. They accept this precisely because they want the opportunity to work on something they love. But is it fair of the company to abuse people like that? Is it really the right choice to work at a place like that?

Again, I'm not saying your company is abusing anyone. But when I feel this sort of vibe coming from a company that I'm applying to and have no insider knowledge of, it makes me think there might be that sort of abuse going on, which makes me less likely to want to apply to the company.
I hear this VPN suggestion a lot. Here and on Twitter. Wonder, can't people do protests on the streets for this?
I happen to generally agree with you on the policies, but comments like this make it much more difficult. It’s intellectually shameful to assert up front that anyone who disagrees with your prescription for society must be just pretending. And then to go on to rant about “psychopaths” and “doom” and “taking our power back”. You contribute nothing here.
Anything Synology is pretty great IMO.
> "Dam’s company ... had filed for a US design copyright back in 1961. And in 1965, it took action in court against a company that it claimed was infringing on its trolls without proper license... The court found that Dam Things had failed to include a copyright mark on hundreds of thousands of trolls it sold. Furthermore, the copyright notice ... was invalid, as it did not explicitly name Dam’s company... Trolls, it was ruled, were in the public domain."

Reminds me of some other stories where inventors lost out:

- James Dewar invented the vacuum flask, but had his design patented by a company called Thermos. He took them to court and "while Dewar was recognised as the inventor, because he did not patent his invention, there was no way to prevent Thermos from using his design"[0].

- Wilkinson Sword introduced stainless steel razor blades in 1962, but a company called Gillette "managed to patent it before Wilkinson did ... [and Wilkinson were] forced to pay royalty to Gillette for each blade it sold"[1].

Obesity. Americans are so obese that they don’t even recognise anymore that they are fat when they are fat. Every time US based tech people come to the UK or Europe for conferences it’s incredibly eye opening what they think is healthy and how they see themselves. Plenty of folks who think they eat and drink healthy and are in a good body condition and all I can see is a big wobbly man with barely any hair on their head drinking diet cokes like water. They think eating Mexican tacos is healthy and eating a big KFC is unhealthy. In comparison to here, we think eating home cooked food is healthy and eating a greasy cheesy Mexican taco is unhealthy fast food and a KFC is just plain disgusting.

What evidence do you present, besides your own company, that any of that works at increasing one's chances?
> 1. Why do you want to take this role?
> 2. Why are you a good fit for this role?

These are the two most useless things to ask from yourself. You know almost nothing reliable about the role - except when have real insights from earlier, but that is the priority line, not in scope here with open competition of unknown persons - at the stage of interviewing apart from what is put into pompous public descriptions of the company and the role designed to amaze (basicly self praise, overstatements, no negatives, sometimes misdirections). Only broad scopes yet. Also you will only have chance knowing if you are fit after some discussion not before even the first contact! Come on! And that is only a chance knowing some, you will only know the culture, the procedures, the infrastructure, the mentality, the professionalism, basicly everything important about the organization affecting your fit after the first couple of months working there. Then you could determine if you are fit or not! Not at the submission, please! Be honest to yourself and to your future colleague!

Good employers know this, they experience it from the other side (testing an employee fit takes time in action, and several times they fail predicting it). Also people can and have to form themselves into the role, no one born fit. Pretending to know the answers already when there could be none yet either shows a will to bullshit or being clueless. None of which are desirable (in most cases, bullshiting is useful for some organizations, of course).

What are the honest and reliable answers here? (in generic case, not for those through backdoors)

1. I need to work for money pretty soon and you just have this open role which I think I could fulfill some way.

2. No chance knowing that at this stage however on the surface and based on both of our public history and things we project about orselves the chances are good.

No way standing out by pretending along such vague or obvious questions, that is basically the generic approach at this elimination stage what everyone is doing. I straight up refuse writing childish essays called cover letter too, ranting about how good fit I am and how thrilled I am applying to this specific role and specific organization happened to have open position when I happened to look for jobs, what a great coincidence and life purpose! I send either nothing, empty page (when the submission system tries to enforce it), or contextual facts about the application. Role relevant facts are already in the CV/Resume. We could talk about intentions and fit in person, not through robotic HR elimnators. If this is no good for the employer then we are definitely no fit.
it comes back to the "keeping others down" mentality, since our tax consultant heard i was getting his services cheaper elsewhere, he most likely tipped the authorities for something bogus either as scare tactics or to actually do harm to my business.
i know it's him because he ranted about this service, said should be illegal to charge so little to handle taxes, and warned my mother that tax returns will be less or something because our situation isn't fully handled by him (completely false).
we pay him around 800€ per year, plus a fixed per tax return form (around 150€), and opening my business with him would have been around 700€ yearly plus 300€ once to handle some documents (it's free if you do it yourself).
i pay around 300€ every year for a service that so far was perfect, with online guides, a billing/management software, multiple tax consultants handling tickets and responses to any questions i might have.
you can see the convenience from a mile away, and he would be forced to innovate in a fair market; however the easiest (and most italian) way of handling competition is to be vicious about it, bring others down and leverage authorities

The FLI Open Letter Controversy
That is the problem with pitches like this, they sound pretty good, till you have read a ton of these and worked with a few companies like this and have been burnt by them.

I guess this highlights the problem with the whole recruitment space. This company put out the equivalent of a bad generic resume while complaining about potential employees putting out bad generic resumes.
Goes without saying for Hacker News, but this seems specific to one industry. I did get hired off of resumé and a phone interview in my first application—but that's nursing, where right now they'll hire anyone who moves. I think the old rules they talk about in interview guides still work, absent any sector-specific distortions.
Is this from Chatgpt? It sounds like generic startup pablum. "We're not like other companies," proceeds to sound like every company.
"Subservient" is your word, not mine - a way of poisoning the well by reframing loving service with envy and resentment.
Anecdotally, none. 2021/2022 I received five different Dell and Lenovo notebooks (Lattitude, Precision, ThinkPad, not consumer models) for customer projects to work on and every single one had battery or memory problems OOTB. Battery running times were a joke compared to a MBP, and so were the monitors. Mac notebook monitors aren't matte though, and I find the 14" Alu MBP a bit heavy and bulky. Mind, I was a big fan of my old 2016 XPS but even that had a swollen battery which needed replacement out of warranty.

Of those five notebooks I only kept a Thinkpad x13 gen 2 Ryzen (the last one/only one that wasn't broken) but it's not great either with dysfunctional power management/BIOS under Ubuntu 22.04, something I never had problems with so far on Thinkpads.

Go to church anyway. You don't have to believe to attend services.
The main reported correlations after a quick read:

> The male composites were not obviously differentiated based on masculinity.

> Both male and female right-wing composites appeared happier than their left-wing counterparts.

> The right-wing faces, particularly for females, might be perceived as more attractive.

> Among women contempt was non-trivially correlated with a predicted probability of left-wing ideology.
Church isn't the only local activity by any means. As I noted in my other response[1], if you want to do charity there's volunteering groups. Or sports? We have a football team, bowls, ballet, pilates or general keep-fit. Or drinking? We have a pub meet up where they discuss philosophy (I'm not making this one up, promise!)

The government requesting that the tos of a private company be upheld seems rather mild to me. Did we get the reasons for the requests in the released files? Were they trying to reduce foreign propaganda or public health misinformation or something else important?
Funny how some people down vote facts…
> This is just passing the buck. If the boss tells you to write credit card stealing software or to DDOS your competitor are you just going to do it?

This is already illegal. Holding the makers of things more accountable would do nothing for you in this example.
That just gave me the idea that there could be a main instance that keeps a summary of the problem (List of paragraphs for each subproblem) and other instances that hold the larger text that these summaries are based on. Then on demand the main instance could get needed extra information for a subpoint back.
Kinda like having forgein keys in a databas with which you can join in the relevant row!
To me, that all sounds like you need to be careful.
I have also found that Jobs Acquired by Submitting Resume are almost always worse than Jobs Acquired Through Network. Which makes sense, as the network jobs mean you usually know at least one person working at the company and are friendly/culturally compatible with that person. And if that person works there, chances are that there will be other similar people.

The article we are discussing here claims that there already is an asymmetry in the sense that the applicant has to put time into polishing a resume while the company does basically nothing.

So, you are going even further by essentially requiring the applicant to first write an open source library in the space before they are interesting?

One also should take the ethical consideration of deploying a bio weapon into consideration. The world has moved beyond realpolitik and the age old "might makes right" attitude, to use biological warfare in an unethical manner would result in condemnation from the international community.

There’s a small collection of software (like Widevine/Zig) that isn’t available on Asahi/ARM64, and some important features that are still in progress (Speakers/Webcam/Mic/External Monitors). GPU and Sleep support is still experimental, but the device is usable enough for me (No critical showstoppers so far).

Widevine has since been solved in a great hack[0].

Well yes, I had a problem with that stuff.

However, I think a return to gender roles would do us good. Having two parents be forced into the work place, leaving the kids to be raised by strangers in day care is not really the "liberation" that feminists claim it is.
