Seems the HN software killed the post. Vouched as this seems like a reasonable query.

Sorry to hear your troubles ... but my 2 cents is that if upstairs have to call you in to answer the questions your manager could not ... and you straightened out the mess, upstairs would know you and the team are the people who do the hard work. The same for higher ups asking for your help to train your own manager. If you're earning more money, bonuses etc for your additional roles, I guess that's fair enough, or the job just pays ridiculously well, doing extra stuff shouldn't be a problem ... but I can sort of guess from your outline, it's not that way at all.

I have little idea what it's like at any of these big companies {and I'm out of doing anything remotely computer wise for a couple decades (memory leakage is a bummer among other things,)} - but I'm familiar with how a few really big companies (entirely not computer or web related business) like to work when they can get away with things down my way ... they see managers as a simple tool to get the most out of people, they don't have to have much talent past doing whatever it takes, little lies/ very unlikely to materialise promises that need to be told, and proving a buffer for when someone has to held to account.
Why would they be unprofitable? They have a range of steps before that. Heck there are github repos that let you use youtube as free(terabytes) storage, by encoding data as noisy video. I think first step before "bankrupcy" would be to remove all videos that have 0 views in 24 months (which is most of their library).

Daily Tech Cats – IT Word of the Day
Any attack that can intercept TOTP codes (= some kind of MITM or local device compromise) can also request the unwanted actions with the IP of your device. All this does is prevent lazy attacks.
This kind of restates what was discussed here yesterday. Android's constant leaking of data to Google is hardly any news, but Qualcomm's firmware doing the same in plain text to izatcloud.net is newsworthy. Apparently Apple is doing the same. Someone has a nice geolocation database of practically everyone in the world.
I'd argue the opposite. In the US, the merchants had too much power to delay the introduction of Chip+PIN readers.

The fraud of magstripes was huge, because there was literally no security. Anyone could create a magstripe. Customers using credit cards in the US are protected by legislation against that fraud.

The whole point of EMV was to remove the capability of fraud by replicating the magstripe. It meant that the transaction could correctly tell between "card present" and "card not present" transactions. So the risk of card-present transactions is dramatically lowered, independent of who is responsible for the fraud.

It is to both the merchants and the banks benefit to reduce/remove fraud. The banks offloaded it to the merchants in the US (as they did in other countries), but the introduction of EMV was "sold" to the merchants in the rest of the world by the banks saying they would take on the risk of fraud for "card present" transactions.

The banks were never "neutral" in the US. Visa/MC were both bank consortiums.

America is not a "convenience optimizer" its a "changing consumer behavior is hard so lets not do it" optimizer.
Unpopular take: this is actually exciting to me.

As development has continued, the 1P app seems to have gained in bugs. I've tried reporting these - I like 1P and the 1P team seems to care about delivering a quality product - but using their forums is very frictionful and I've often given up on reporting bugs because it's not worth the faff. Telemetry holds the promise that they can fix the bugs without me needing to manually report.
Beyond Quantum Mechanics
The post discusses an ontological/cosmological model called Time|Mind|Space (TMS), which includes the energetic and physical aspects of life. The TMS model proposes that everything in the universe is a projection of the mind onto the TMS universe's virtual dome. The mind breaks down continuous signals into discrete samples, which it associates with specific meanings to turn imagination into reality. The post proposes an experiment to test the TMS/Joke theory, which involves selecting a specific physical situation in the future using the mind's capacity to imagine a mesh of forms. The aim is to experience a mind-formed physical reality later that matches the imagined physical reality.
> There's no before to compare it to.

That's precisely the point. In order for Apple to have abused their monopoly, you would need to point to a change in their business model which occurred during the period in which they held nominal monopoly status.

Everyday there are dozens of opportunities to become rich, just play the lottery.
Unless there's a tangible monetary benefit in doing so, I don't see why that would be a good business decision.

It is likely that there will be some use cases for power users, however one must justify the development and opportunity costs associated with that.

This is the one of the last ultimate service plays (the best one remains to be healthcare, which they are working on) in the shift to service transition.

If your savings are on Apple Wallet, you will be not switch away from an iPhone for many years. The average deposit duration is 7 years, used by banks to manage risk. This “lock” is better than any carrier 24-36mo agreement.

Healthcare obviously would be groundbreaking, if you depend on your phone for healthcare (it would be potentially life long…).

So regardless if they make money on these services, they’ll continue to make more money on devices.

I was going to say use kill and lsof, and also something similar to what you said here. I would add that even many seasoned developers don’t know UNIX-like systems well enough to do anything with native tooling and therefore replicate native functionality poorly and slowly.

For many people, it’s faster to write an entirely new tool than it is to go learn the platform for which they’re writing and therefore they do it.
The power of systems and how we behave is very intriguing indeed.
Poor security wasn't a feature.
If you think windows runs on more hardware variations then Linux, you have a shortsighted view on the world.
> don't think that imaginary or complex numbers have physical significance.

Yeah I'd say that's the most common approach but I think it's misguided. Complex numbers aren't any less physical than any other number. It just turns out that for historical reasons, it makes sense to define observable quantities using self-adjoint operators (which have real eigenvalues, and the latter are used to measure things like energy). But that doesn't mean the rest is not physical. Just because we can't take a picture of an object in the dark, it doesn't mean the object isn't there when the lights are off.
It seems like platforms could solve this by making it possible for users to see the content of accounts run by government officials even when blocked, but merely prevent them from otherwise interacting with them.

There is a transaction / amount limit for contactless transactions. Banks generally keep it secret for security - but it can be something like "transactions over x EUR need PIN and also ever fifth will need PIN".

It is pretty annoying because there are a lot of terminals that don't have the PIN keyboard, e.g. on vending machines. If you card decides it needs PIN, you are not buying, unless you can sidestep it using a phone.

Of course they were just parodying a century or two of corporate fraud; it's not exactly a recent innovation.
Spam detection at Twitter is horrendous. Search results for many crypto and stock ticker symbols (or cashtags like $SOFI) are deluged with Discord links for shady trading groups endlessly trying to rope in paid subscribers. If you select "top" search results, you'll see much less spam but stale tweets. "Latest" yields tons of spam. They've been tweeting with the same phrases like "don't miss the next move in a few hours" and "top analyst price target" for years, presumably because it's never been a priority to get rid of them.

Maybe my understanding is too limited, but when I had them explained as "rotational" numbers they seemed to reduce to a simple logic shortcut to get signs changing correctly around our arbitrary axes-based coordinate system.

No less useful, but kind of mundane.

Are there other things they fundamentally do, or is everything else rooted in that property? (Or have I just misunderstood them?)

> Something they will have to think about the day that there are IPv6-only services. Which is not today or anytime soon.

Let me guess, you live in and/or operate setups in the US?

Yeah, the US has disproportionately many IPv4 addresses.

Meanwhile if one of our services doesn't need IPv4, it doesn't get IPv4. And if it does need IPv4, it's increasingly common to be IPv6 behind an IPv4 reverse proxy.

And as a result, due to the extra reverse proxy, you'll increasingly just get worse performance on IPv4 than native IPv6.
Wait so contactless are not normal in the US??

A person smarter than me once told me: “Just use snprintf()”.

The tiny performance hit is usually worth the safety and simplicity. Only one error condition to check, covering both concatenation and copies, sensible 'size' argument behaviour (size includes null terminating byte, null terminating byte is always written)...

Just use snprintf().
I'm not specifically talking about code quality, but usually that goes hand in hand with the product. An engineer that makes quality code will usually also care about the product quality overall as well. Good code quality makes that quality product maintainable and fun to work in.

That being said, your product's traits are phenotypes of your code design. Its performance characteristics, its capable features, how it scales, everything is intertwined. Involve your developers more in the product planning, don't try to plan it for them and just hand them a spec. I've seen too many "product managers" and officers try to be engineers... That's like a real estate tycoon making blueprints for an architect.

You will probably fail if you want to "do high quality code later" as your product will be shit because it's DNA is trash.

And yes, you are trying to persuade yourself, you should be user #1 and your ultimate fan.

Find a problem you have or recognize, and develop a solution you believe in.

Others can barely even recognize there is a problem in the first place, let alone find the optimal solution.

You can listen to others for minor adjustments after the fact, but your product vision is solely on you.

To clarify the title...

1- It is not European Standard as in European Union Standard, more
as standard as in mainstream commercial adoption...Eventually...

2- What is happening is that EPI [1], a private consortium from some Dutch,
Belgium,Luxembourg and a few French and German banks probably realized they
are unable to develop a solution of their own. They have seen the
initiatives of Apple and Google and realized they have to keep moving.
So they will try to market the iDEAL-based standard, in France and Germany,
because there is not a comparable offer there, and are reporting this as an
acquisition. iDeal is run by Currence after being conceived by
the then major banks in the Netherlands: ABN Amro, ING Bank, Postbank N.V. and
Rabobank.

3- iDEAL transactions are considered cash payments between customers and suppliers, to which the bank is no party and offers no insurance. This means that iDEAL payments cannot be reversed if a online merchant fails to deliver.[4]

Developers can side load apps on IOS that are under development work have a limited distribution.

Also, most developers don’t like or use Linux as their desktop OS.

Some of them are that bad, yes.

> I think the real reason why people buy Apple is due to belief (artificially created by marketing, not based on real studies) that Apple makes expensive, but high quality devices.

Back with the incredibly condescending view that Apple users clearly don’t know what they’re doing. In spite of so many comments explaining the reasons: hardware and software design, hardware build quality, accessibility features, handoff features, multi-device ecosystem integration, privacy and security, there is a long list of rational reasons.

The default human brain certainly thinks as you do, otherwise, people would exhibit the same or greater work ethic when it comes to their own stuff. However, I genuinely wonder if this is true.

Torturing data to predict Bitcoin prices: A book excerpt
As someone with sometimes provocative views, providing full citations etc helps but it's easily observed that people who mindlessly promote herd wisdom can simply make comments like "That looks like nonsense" or "That's arguing in bad faith" with nothing else, and yet they don't get voted down.

Unfortunately, votes are meant to be used to judge comment quality but most people use them to try and penalize or reward views they already have regardless of merit. It's easy to get voted up by +100 simply by making snarky low value comments that agree with the current HN vibe, and a long comment with 5 citations will easily sit at 0 or -1 if it's ideologically inconvenient.

In my experience when the terminal is 'broken' I say "ah shucks I don't have any cash" and they turn back to the terminal which is suddenly working again and, perhaps begrudgingly, accept my contactless payment.

Epic failed spectacularly. They couldn't prove a monopoly, and even if they could, they were not able to point to any instance where Apple abused a monopoly position to turn the screws on customers or developers.

The problem - as I see it - is that we lack "tried and true principles" when it comes to LLMs. We don't know how they work.

I come up with 2-10 ideas a day. Most are not good.

How I come up with lots of ideas:

- I consume a lot of high-quality inputs from different fields (reading, podcasts, etc). If it's not difficult to consume, it's probably not worth it.

- I make the idea capture process extremely easy. I use a Siri shortcut to log to a text file with my ideas list, which is ~3k lines long right now.

- I publicly write about my ideas, and allow others to refine what I think.

- I choose one idea to pursue at a time until it's finished. I accept that execution is generally more important than ideas.

- Every morning, I run `cat ideas.txt | shuf | head -n 20` to review and refine my ideas.

- I ask people lots of questions. Every moment I'm talking about myself is a lost opportunity to explore.

Just marketing.
Of course Russia killed its industry. No reasonable person will launch a startup in Russia. It was hard even before, but at least you had the hope of attracting capital from global VCs, expanding internationally. Now it's gone.

I know entrepreneurs who sold companies to Yandex and VK (when it was MRG). It's a miserable outcome. You have only a few potential buyers in Russia, which means prices for startups are cheap. All then went to launch companies somewhere else so they might have a chance of a better exit.

For a Russian-based startup there are two ways to sell their "cool things" globally. Exit the country or be very diligent about hiding your roots. Still, people will find out sooner or later.

Yes, Russia will still have a few big tech companies, which are almost and government oligopoly already. Their employees shouldn't really expect too much competition for their talent (and corresponding salaries).

> their router somehow lost the prefix route to me -- I was informed that their DHCP server adds router dynamically to routers

for the curious, that's (in most cases) DHCPv6-PD relay agent operation, https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8987.html#name-general "Delegating relay":

Delegating relay:
A delegating relay acts as an intermediate device, forwarding
DHCPv6 messages containing IA_PD and IAPREFIX options between the
client and server. The delegating relay does not implement a
DHCPv6 server function. The delegating relay is also responsible
for routing traffic for the delegated prefixes.

It's generally done by having the relay be a passive observer of the DHCPv6-PD packets it is relaying between client and server, installing and updating routes for prefixes as needed.

That RFC also goes into detail on problems with these setups. What you experienced was probably the loss of state described in section 3.2.
