I hate to start a political squable on HN, but I guess I can't help myself...

Trump and his administration had some good, forward thinking policy ideas, which were indeed needlessly hammered by zealous media... pushing back against China is one example. But this glosses over just how ham fisted, poorly executed, and poorly communicated they largely were (as was the case with their China policy actions).

> ...poorly they fared from so much being off-shored

Again this is a huge generalization. Clearly too much was offshored and too many eggs were put in one basket, but an extreme restriction of free trade is not going to be fun either.
> my question would simply be: Are they getting the work you expect done finished in a timely manner (comparable to others on your team)? If so, regardless of any other point, what is the problem?

No, they are not getting comparable work done. That’s literally the entire problem I was trying to describe.

> If not, then why didn't you address the issue quickly since you mention you're the one who hired them.

Why do you assume I’m not addressing the issue? I specifically said it took heavy management interaction to try to keep them on track.

This is the same argument that always comes up: If they “get their work done” then what’s the problem? If they got their work done I wouldn’t care. The problem is that they don’t get their work done in a timely manner and/or they sandbag to exaggerate how long their work will take so they can do minimal work, thereby shifting the workload to their teammates who are actually honest.

Prebought this last week. It's incredibly accurate to the original 8 bit versions. The only nitpick I have so far is a) I don't know how to use the 'mouse' (clicked macbook trackpad, but can't quite figure it out?), and b) the background 'grey' may be 'right' (as originally displayed on CRTs), but seems a bit dark on my current monitor.

Music is great, animations, characters, text... it's all there. So well done. Looking forward to trying 'online' version later.

> A hierarchy that terminates at a single responsible party the stakeholders, the board, can control.

I think that's the organization structure that everyone complains is responsible for some of the most sociopathic behavior in the world. Or at least sociopathic behavior at the largest scale.

Human beings have no new ideas on how to organize things, and so they keep going back to the same old ideas that have been proven defective. In this case, defective in exactly the ways they claim to want to avoid. It's a little bizarre.
"According to Water Aid, less than a quarter of Russian households have a centralised sewage system (where their toilets empty into a publicly owned treatment system). Of these households, less than 17% are connected to pit toilets (equivalent to Aussie outdoor dunnies), whilst the remainder aren’t connected to any type of sewage system at all."

Sounds like nonsense and also does not seem to relate to the rest of the article.

Whatever real problems Russia might have, toilet access is not one of them.
The solution was to pump out physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs) that require a fraction of the training of a doctor to get licensed, and then have them practice medicine under the “supervision” of a doctor.

This is my biggest concern about primary care. NP training significantly lacks rigor in clinical sciences and standardization. I would also say days of seeing competent primary care (even in urban settings) is behind for patients.
You missed what probably triggered it: "...said that OpenAI was considering open-sourcing GPT-3. Part of the reason they hadn’t open-sourced yet was that he was skeptical of how many individuals and companies would have the capability to host and serve large LLMs..."

This doesn't make sense. Make me, a user of their app and website who sees ads and other stuff pay money so that the API users can avoid them?

Reddit will lose a bunch of deadbeat users, who generate little to no income for the company but cost money to serve. In business, these are the sort of people you don't want.

Who do you think will spend hundreds of millions a year to replace Reddit so that deadbeat users can use it? There would be no money in serving those users and any attempt to serve them and monetize later will result in the same thing that is happening at Reddit. The days of VCs burning money for social networks seems to be over.

It's also about future product plans, in my estimation.

Look at the recent job postings for mobile developers. See talk about adding multimedia interactive widgets to sub reddits. The current product is not sticky enough apparently.

This customizable widget tech is unlikely to be easily supported by third parties and will slow down the adoption and rebirth of Reddit as a sticky profit cow.

That's assuming that Apollo brings in enough revenue to cover the costs and they want to run a business.

I'm not a user of that App so excuse me if I am mistaken, if Apollo is currently free and without ads then the developer had a lot less to worry about then than now.

Additionally the outrage, as far as I am aware, has less to do with Reddit needing to make money rather it's way of going about making money is killing the user experience which kills the point of the website.

If I was to guess, the standard indie hacker thought is happening "I can't raise prices" and "lots of people don't want to pay". When they're seeing 90% of their user base say I'm not paying that, it's easy to forget the 10% that would. The 10% that would probably haven't even spoken up.

Yes. But PAs and NPs lack the training and will more likely give referral for the wrong things or provide worse clinical care.

Management did the same thing with offshoring engineering. It's akin to saying, "competent engineers who understand business requirements and good software engineering principles are expensive. Can't engineers from another country (who often cost less) do the same thing if all they do is write the same code?"
I think it depends on how you build up your bubble. I am also a 10+ Twitter user and I had a pretty drama free and informative timeline. Whereas for some people it has always been a cesspool. Sure my timeline got worse in the last year but I am still following valuable accounts that I'm not ready to give up yet.

If it makes you feel any better Elon claimed that large block lists make Twitter lose money.

But the last 10 years certainly taught me that "how could they allow this and didn't see it coming and did something against it?" has a much more nuanced answer than I would have thought earlier.

This is a super important point! The parent post, which is quite good, forgets the qualifier that in practice DNSSEC is exclusively a server-to-server protocol: it's what your DNS server uses to attempt to authenticate records from other servers. But when you get the records, you don't get the signatures; you just get a single bit in the header that says "I pinky swear that I checked the signatures".

It's wild that we're even considering rolling more of this out in 2023.
Also, even a perfectly free market has shipping costs.
Tangential story...

I had a Northwest Airlines VISA card in the early 2000s.

One day, I noticed a USD $6,000 deposit. I sent a message to customer service that something was wrong.

The next day, I noticed a $5,800 withdrawal. At this point, I called customer service.

They removed the deposit right away, but I had to engage repeatedly to get the withdrawal off my statement. I think this involved some kind of written statement.

I've also had Discover call me, asking if I ordered a $1,200 television off Newegg, and they sent me a new card when I replied that I did not.

I have no idea what happened in either case.

Hard to compare, the "high-income" specialties are either brutally intense (e.g. neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, vascular surgery), competitive (plastics, derm, radiology) or both (ortho).

The competitive ones are variable with ~50-80% match rates for US MD graduates. Generally hard to get employed in desirable markets (especially NYC, LA, SF, Boston) unless you trained around there so the "desirable" programs are harder to match to but numbers aren't released. Some residency programs are toxic dumpster fires.

Attrition is hard to gauge because once you're in you're kinda stuck due to loans, sunken cost etc. Completely made-up but I would consider any of the intense specialties to represent at least the top 10%ile of physicians for a combination of aptitude and work-ethic/masochism.
SUSE also followed suit with VAAPI, so apparently their legal team doesn't disagree.

It lowers the attack surface by running less code. Most government computers don't even have the HAP bit set.
> how unintuitive the git model is

This. If new users had the git model itself explained to them, rather than tell them to do their work and learn git as they go (giving them blind commands to type here and there), things would be much better off.

It's even more complicated now with github and IDEs having a UI that abstracts over git's abstractions.
I just don't understand this kind of comment. I've used Google docs for many years with dozens of collaborators. Could it be better? Sure. But "absolutely terrible"? That sort of comment makes it hard to take any other part of the comment seriously.
Just being sandboxed though isn't a help if you actively want the software to process sensitive data! If you want to read a private document in LibreOffice, you have to be sure your copy of LibreOffice and every library it calls is trustworthy and reasonably secure.

Reddit is just so funny. People have gone through the pain of finding a third party client explicitly because they don't like the first party one. Do they think taking that away will suddenly make the first party app attractive? Delusional. Especially for heavy users which literally produce what Reddit is trying to sell.

"Consider the expression 1/3 + 25. In PL/I this expression has the value 5.33333333333. Why? One-third is computed to 15 digits of precision, 14 to the right of the decimal point. Then 25 is coerced to the same precision, losing the most significant digit 2! This does raise an error in PL/I, but the default is to ignore it."
But a camera that masks 90% of the pixels isn't privacy-preserving. It's just a 90s consumer-grade webcam. They haven't shown that the approach works with actual privacy measures, which makes their claims in this area dubious.

But only 22% are accepted for those 8%, which means that the 78% code suggestions that are not accepted correspond to an equivalent of over 28% of all code written. Not sure that having to spend the time evaluating an additional 28% of code in vain amounts to an overall win.

Though I guess the success rates when using Stack Overflow aren’t too dissimilar.

> so I don't see how the time needed to navigate this issue from a management level is any different for a digital nomad vs anybody else?

The point is that they’re not the same in practice.

Hypothetically, a perfect digital nomad would be indistinguishable from any other remote employee. But in practice, there’s something about the digital nomad lifestyle that incentivizes people to minimize their workload at the expense of their peers/manager more than the average employee: They’re traveling the world and want to get back to doing the travel thing by doing as little work as they can get away with.

Having someone in constantly changing time zones is also a pain for communication. Having them in constantly different backgrounds (often noisy or shared) is a challenge. Having them on spotty WiFi that cuts out and makes them unable to do their job is a challenge.

All of these things in theory could be avoided, but in practice it always turns out to be a huge hassle to try to mix digital nomads with a team that’s trying to get work done. About the only time it works out is when it’s for contract work where the deadline isn’t urgent and you’re paying a project-based fee that is agreed up front by both parties. This moves all of the incentive to do good work and deliver on time over to the nomad, which works much better with trying to balance against the whole world travel nomad thing.

> This all still seems like a hiring and management issue

Which is why I fixed it by declining to hire or manage digital nomads as FTEs. I only work on project-based contracts and it’s much more aligned now.

The idea that it’s the manager’s responsibility to extract work from the employee is exactly the mentality that I was describing: This mindset that underperformance is only the manager’s fault leads to a requirement of heavy micromanagement, but it’s exasperated by digital nomads who are extra incentivized to minimize their work/fool their managers so they have more time to vacation.
Wow.

Free software movement abuses the copyright system to prevent anyone from “owning” the software and putting a fence around others' work when greed tells it's suitable to do so. It has no intention to support its existence. As people only have that mediocre system today, and believe in it, it is used as a tool to partially formalize something from a different sphere of values.
If you find yourself saying “Pretty much the only way to …”, it might be time to start questioning the morality of the continuation.

(Unless, perhaps, we want to discuss systemic behavior, incentives, and adjustments — ie Hacker News as a system and how to improve it and so on — , but to do that without casting doubt on one’s intentions, it has to be done in a way that does not appear to justify questionable actions.)

I struggle with the "required lectures no one wants to hear". I know that they need to hear the lecture but I also know they don't want a lecture, delivering unwanted lectures causes people to dislike me greatly and assume I'm a smug neckbeard when really all I want is for people to have the knowledge I have.

Simply not delivering said lectures has it's own downsides but seems to be the best strategy if you care primarily about how well liked you are.

Mind you this isn't everyone, it's maybe 50% of people and certain personality types really don't like receiving information in that format.

There are also those that think the same way and reciprocate in kind when you have a knowledge gap, I really appreciate those people. They also are better at communicating what they actually do know so you can reach a shared understanding with them faster.
Musk is trying to connect Brain implants with the X Everything Twitter replacement, Starlink, & Tesla so that he has complete control over all of us.

Think about it, with X he will have access to bank accounts, stocks, our private and public personas, etc.

Connect that with Tesla and Starlink and he'll have a complete map of virtually our whole lives.

Now the last thing is our thoughts themselves and here is where the brain implants come in.

Ask HN: When should I withdraw credit card reward money/points?
This was spurred by a concurrent post about not storing money in PayPal or equivalent - also crypto exchanges.

I like credit cards that have cash back rewards and typically redeem when they’re around a hundred dollars. But maybe would consider doing this at a lower reward value if there’s any risk?

Any thoughts on this or is it “safe” to let rewards accumulate to higher values? Not sure what the fine print reads on the rewards agreements etc but would assume it differs between banks.

I have maybe 4-5 active cards and only really use 2 of them. Maybe end up redeeming a couple hundred dollars of cash rewards maybe a couple times a year.

Cheers and thanks
NSEC5 is a research paper, not a deployed standard. But thanks for calling this out, because it gives us an opportunity to reflect on the fact that, confronted with the problem of enumerable sensitive DNS labels, the best cryptographic minds of the IETF DNS working group came up with a 1990s password file.

One of the ways you can tell that DNSSEC advocates are operating in bad faith is by catching them attempting to argue that nothing in the DNS is secret to begin with. First, that's obvious gaslighting; disabling public zone transfers has been a security best practice since the mid-1990s, and no network security audit would fail to flag you for enabling them. Second, if the DNSSEC advocates actually believed that, they wouldn't have done NSEC3, whitelies, and (now, apparently, at some point in the distant future, NSEC5).

Can't have it both ways on this.
That is not an argument. You can't justify that everything is secretly backdoored because of some old leak.
You’re looking at this purely through your own lens, but I choose to look at this in terms of society as a whole. We have young people parroting extremist points of view. That’s a societal failure. Where did our education and child care systems go so wrong as to make extremism this attractive?

Carried through to its natural conclusion, we will end up in fascist states, young people will end up in prison or we’ll end up with more innocent victims. All options are bad, it’s just a question of worst.
I was wondering much the same, except I note that my pal’s massive Quads and the older radiator-like versions at uni were still crazy heavy due to the power supply (I assume) and they were a bit short on warm bass, perhaps these “new” speakers run on a trickle of power and produce bass like a Cerwin-Vega for all I know?
