If I'm using curl, I'm probably also using git, ssh and wget. I think an active threat would be more likely to try to blend in (a giveaway would probably to use a user agent that declared I was using a different OS because it was hardcoded into the payload.)

What I end up thinking about is that even though I'm back at the office full time (and I'm one of the weirdos that actually prefer it) I have doctors appointments, school teacher meetings and such that have all moved online. So convenient!, except there's no way I can realistically attend them privately, so a 5 minute meds appointment is now once again a 3 hour travel ordeal.

> Digg losing to Reddit are over

I strongly disagree and I can give you a clear reason why.

Internet forum / niche communities serve a few purposes, and the advent AI (I know, bear with me) destroys their existing moat.

A reddit serves the following purposes:

1. Persistent store of timeless information - ChatGPT style models have made this redundant. I

2. Updated store of current information - The problem with current information, is that it's generated where the users are. It is a chicken and egg problem, but that's exactly what makes it so dangerous. It takes 1 viral moment for people to pull off a critical mass of exodus, and you're never getting your users back. Like a siphon that will keep draining until your reservoir is fully empty.

3. fully realized niche hang-out spot - 20% of people create 80% of content. The 20% are embedded deeply enough in internet culture, that they can make a consensus move to another platform, and the other 80% will follow. (only applies to niche hobbies)

4. 9gag replacement - This is easy to disrupt and has been disrupted many times before. Reddit itself has already destroyed any sense of uniqueness that its platform had. No meme platform has managed to stay cool for more than 1 generational cycle. Reddit will be no different.

Previous reddit exoduses didn't work, because it involved banning a certain extremist/morally dubious communities. The alternatives were terrible, unmoderated and struggled to migrate the timeless information over. The next exodus will be normal users. Timeless information migration has already been completed by ChatGPT.

My favorite subreddit has already migrated to a 3rd party website. Moderation is a lot easier with LLMs. The last remaining piece of the puzzle is for a semi-competent new competitor to show up. Let's see if it actually happens.
Wow. I'm marking my calendar. This is incredible.
A good reddit alternative needs to offer something fun. It can't just be a link dump/political soapbox, because reddit is already a link dump/political soapbox.

I know it's not popular here, but look at the success of TikTok. It attracts users because it's fun. People go there to laugh, enjoy themselves, and share stuff they've made. Sure, there is lots of politics on there too that users engage with, but that's not the main lure for them.
> [...] either USB3 or high-speed charging, but not both at the same time [...]

That seems implausible/unlikely to be the cable's fault: Since different wire pairs are used for power supply and data, why would the two be mutually exclusive?

> I wouldn't expect the average consumer to know where to reliably spend their €30-€50 for a charge cable

The situation was tricky for a while, but these days, even on Amazon.com's search results (which are frequently swamped with spam/uncertified products), searching for "Thunderbolt 4 cable" yields products by trustworthy-looking vendors supporting 100W charging in the first 5 results.

We just have a drawer full of various USB things. If something doesn't fit/work, just try another one. If none work, or the drawer is running low, buy some more. You might have to buy multiple times if the new ones don't work.

At least, this is what works for me.

I’m not sure where we only started talking about physicians making >500k. Very very few software engineers are making that despite what you’d think from reading HN. The vast majority who are making anywhere near $1M are no longer really ICs, so they aren’t comparable to a physician who only does clinical work.

My wife doesn’t make $500k, but if she decided she wanted to work 40-50 hours a week instead of 25-30 she could get close.

Her group, and from what she says most hospitals in the country, are basically always struggling to find enough PEMs to maintain coverage.

The incentives to work more than 15 shifts and more than 4 overnights are very generous—the alternative is to bring people in from the next city over. And if she really wanted to she could pick up extra responsibilities and work towards becoming a partner.

But virtually no one is making $500k-1M in base compensation in any industry, so percentage based benefits are such a small part of it.

Look at Google for example, you’re at senior staff before your base reaches $250k, so percentage based contributions are based on a much smaller chunk of your total compensation.
When in reality, being over 65, obese, diabetic, and suffering from hypertension, or otherwise unhealthy, were the major demographic of deaths. Kids were fine.

Ah, remember the headlines when Trump was taking it more seriously than the press, and the press was comparing it to the flu and Pelosi in Chinatown SF saying don't be racist, come on down.

It was much worse than the flu if you were over 65; it was predominantly a pandemic of the elderly and ill, but gotta sell the poke and boosters to the tune of $40B per round. I had to argue the efficacy of natural immunity from having had it to keep from getting vaccinated for work, and yet they forced my older kids and nephew to get booster after booster if they wanted to continue to attend university. My nephew immediately had chest pains within 8 hours of the vaccination, and he was diagnosed with myocarditis, and is still being checked for heart issues. He was a runner and did not have any of the comorbidities to push him to get the vax given he had already had COVID and should not have been advised to get vaccinated. They did a great job of memory holing natural immunity the CDC and Fauci and Co.
Isn’t it really hard to use though? Like you need decomposed Linux bits.

Dr. Vinay Prasad, a self-professed Bernie supporter, recently did a video [1] on DeSantis' COVID policy. His conclusion was that DeSantis was among one of the top governors in the country, and "near the top" of all the political leaders in the world.

The video discusses vaccination policy, mask mandates, school reopenings, and death rates. The TLDR is that policies that different governments enacted did not seem to have much impact on death rates, and that therefore what was given up (in terms of closed schools/businesses/etc.) was somewhat in vain. I think he should have spent a little time on non-death impacts, such as long COVID, which seem to be more prevalent in people who got COVID pre-vaccine.

I guarantee that all large enterprises that can legally get away with it, will soon start monitoring everything electronic their employees do using LLMs.

Everything you write in an email or say in a Teams meeting will be transcribed and read. The LLM will be instructed to check that you’re “compliant with corporate communications policy.”

Sounds innocuous, right? Just stop employees leaking PII or swearing at customers.

It’ll be expanded to also detect employees that are trying to form a union, questioning safety, revealing management malfeasance, or whistleblowing.

Things have to get done.

I own a house. Some time ago, my plumbing had issues. I had to go down into my basement and deal with shit. Literal shit. Work ethic is what lets you put on the "I got things to do" hat, and then you do them.

That's just life. Life is hard and brutal requiring constant effort.
I used to be employed in a community where the vast majority of people collected welfare and did not work.

Except that most of the people who did not work actually did work. They would hunt for food, chop fire wood, haul their garbage to the dump, cook their own food, raise their own children, and do the many other things that are necessary to live.

I'm not saying that they type of person you describe does not exist. They do. Some of them lived in the very community I described. I am saying that because we tend to have a very specific, and peculiar, idea of what work means. We almost universally mean working for another. It doesn't much matter whether we are an employer or an employee, the product of that work is typically meant for someone outside of our family, social circles, and community. At the same time we dismiss any form of labour that isn't based upon some sort of transaction, the type of labour that is central to the health of both families and communities. Our culture has these notions so entrenched that the lack of a "proper job" does destroy people, psychologically. Not only is one's sense of value lost, but the value of other types of relationships is greatly diminished.

I don't really see worker rights or labour regulations as a complete solution since we are dealing with a problem that is stitched into the fabric of our society. Likewise, UBI is not a complete solution. If we were to dive into UBI today, which is about providing for people's basic needs from our surpluses (it is not about providing easy wealth), some people would be destroyed because we have never put much thought into what it means to live without there being some sort of transaction. We have never put much thought into what a non-authoritarian workplace would look like. We have never put much thought into what we need and our relationship with society as a whole.

The question that I have trouble answering is how can we build the foundation of a society where we aren't simply asking whether we work to live or live to work? A society where people's needs are met without coercion. A world where people want to contribute to a more egalitarian society.
We don't really know the intent of people as lawyers are quick to tell us, but I can guess, off the top of my head:

- They are surprised at the ways people have come up with to misuse it and don't want to get blamed

- They didn't expect it to progress so fast so there's not as much time to think about the problems as they thought

- They have interests with corporations in the lead that would like to inhibit competition

- They have mental health issues that make them fearful and paranoid

- They are micro-dosing LSD and other drugs and no longer see reality clearly

- They believe in the science fiction idea that an AI will wake up and become conscious and decide it's best course of action to save the planet is to kill humans

- They don't believe AI will become conscious and malicious, but it's super-intelligence will make it impossible for less intelligent humans to manage safely

- They are hyping their products to the general public so people will both be afraid and excited and more likely to open their wallets

- It's often said that reality has a liberal bias, so AI trained on real data will have a liberal bias and they think that's "woke"

- Some combination of all of the above
Yeah. A new platform needs to offer something fun or interesting in its own right to attract users. Otherwise it's going to be an island prison for the worse members of the old community.
I had one of these on my Samsung S5
>it is clearly not, hence the "universal"

Yet nobody has ever proposed a version of UBI that is truly universal. It's always limited to a certain in-group. This incentivizes the in-group to stretch the most out of their UBI: that is outsource all menial work to a permanent underclass of immigrants who don't receive free government money, which is exactly what happens in Saudi Arabia.

Almost no jobs are meaningfully measured in such a fashion because it penalizes thinking at the expense of spinning your wheels even when latter is far less or even negative in value if it wastes other employees time as well. It also fails to capture any relationship between input and output. If all you care about is butts in seats you can bill someone else for there productivity means nothing all you want is someone to take as long as possible to produce a level of output the client will pay for.
As far as alternatives for Reddit go, there's http://communities.win. That's where all the subreddits that got cancelled went. My favorite community on there is http://communities.win/c/nonewnormal which was an anti-lockdown and later anti-vax community that got cancelled on Reddit.

Reddit refugees, used to a finally manicured echo chamber, will of course find it toxic. However, it doesn't suffer from the problem of Gab and Truth social in that there's enough fun stuff mixed in to make most of the content funny and reasonably entertaining and not just overly serious excessively doomer politics.

Rumble seems to be doing pretty well too. However, nothing can replace Reddit for the unbelievable variety and ontology of adult content.

Adversarial as well as means-tested, I should have said. The Universal Credit system is famously cruel in how it is designed.

Not least it is paid in arrears and is designed to take 6 weeks to get the first (backdated) payment, by which time anyone who actually needs it is already likely to be overdrawn to the tune of a month's rent and utilities.

"Salary" or "exempt" in the US is a sub-status of "Full Time Employee". FTE in the US has much of the same of what you say - less, but still some protections, most significantly requirements around paying overtime, and paying more for it: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/overtime - "Unless exempt, employees covered by the Act must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at a rate not less than time and one-half their regular rates of pay."

Salary = exempt = no overtime for you, sucker. Over time, more and more people have fallen under that category in the US.

Is there something like that in the EU, where you don't have max hours or overtime eligibility at all?
The comment you're replying to clearly specified this was a strategy that was advocated before vaccines were available. If you believe, as the signatories of the declaration did, that natural immunity to the virus is possible, then it's not a vaccine focused strategy, it's a strategy that's independent to any vaccine. It's not as if anyone thought that such a strategy wouldn't lead to the infection of essentially all of humanity, and it doesn't say anywhere in it that they expect there not to be durable natural immunity (in which case the policy is self-defeating and absurd), so while it's not an antivax proposal, it's clearly not vaccine focused.

It's plainly true that "focused protection" is a euphemism for letting the virus tear through the vast, the vast majority of the population.
This is pretty cool -- one thing I think you may want to highlight more is the SQL analysis.

In your demo video, when you run the following statement:

update payroll
set payroll_status = = 'X'
where ...

In the simulation DB schema, it picks up the FK from (payroll.employee_id <-> employee.id) and creates the employee table + inserts the related employee records for the affected payroll records in the parent statement.

That's pretty nifty.
