The way this gets fixed in an org isn't by engineers winning fights with designers.

It's by someone at a higher level deciding that they care about accessibility (or that they care about not getting sued), and introducing constraints which their designers and engineers must work within, and making compliance with the constraints part of the QA process.
When did I ever say that, HN is free to talk about them, but they don't want you to visit them.

Solving Disinformation with Internet Literacy
I mean yeah, because there is money around to repatriate.

In the SBF case by the time anyone realizes what was happening the money was "gone."

Trying to reply why it will be that easy in this case perhaps.
N.B. they were just granted an order; they need now to enforce it. That's a different "craziness."
Please. Read through his twitter. ZERO pushback on the mountain of bullshit coming from people like Tucker and Trump, ZERO pushback on pretty much everything Russia is doing. He has vastly different standards for the RNC and DNC. Not a peep about election denial becoming a mainstream conspiracy theory in the GOP - but don't worry, no shortage of Russiagate complaints. I can only assume that he believes that as a counterweight to MSNBC (?) he can just completely ignore these, but in reality it makes him come off as a hack.

Look at this: https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1666559102527389699. Tucker is a "US elite" by any reasonable definition (except if you're using it as generic right-wing boogeyman)... in that case why not mention Tucker claims, with no evidence, that Ukraine destroyed the dam?
To drive the point home, there was a point in my life when I was unable to use anything except a mobile device, because I programmed constantly, day and night, for weeks, trying to build a hair rained business about 3D printed jewelry you could share on social media and fork (I called it "social jewelry", I find it kinda cringe and laugh about it now).

I hurt my wrists very badly (due to abysmal typing posture and a refusal to stop working in the face of "minor" pain) and was unable to use a computer for ten months. I could only use a mobile device (and sparingly at that). One might say I was foolish and reaped what I sowed and shouldn't be accommodated for a problem I brought on myself, but what can I say, I saw young and stupid and I thought I was being gritty.

I'm sure many of you can relate to a story like that.

(Figure out your workspace ergonomics, folks. And don't type through pain, take a break, for days or longer if necessary.)
It's also notable how much technological infrastructure is required to make this "self-sovereign" money possible - from specialized ASICs to constant internet connectivity. Gold is a much more self-sovereign store of value than any cryptocurrency.
Reader mode solved that.
Depending on the org, most Google employees are already part of a distributed team. This is nothing but making management appear functional and bean counters that manage the buildings feel like their buildings are being used.

Which government would come after them? There are lots of different governments around the world, with different views and different laws.

> How is refusing to serve legal sex workers different?

As far as I can tell, in the US discrimination is forbidden against certain protected groups / along certain protected differences only. But you are free to discriminate on all other grounds. Eg a restaurant can legally discriminate against people who don't wear a tie.

The UK rules are similar, see eg https://www.gov.uk/discrimination-your-rights

In the British rules, sexual orientation is explicitly mentioned, but your trade ain't. So as far as I can tell, it's illegal in the UK to discriminate against gays but legal to discriminate against sex workers.

(However, a government might come after you, if you do something they don't like, even if it's perfectly legal. Eg the government could just 'randomly' decide to audit your taxes all the time, or 'randomly' apply other regulations and rules more strictly.)

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_group for a list of the protected groups in the US. Wikipedia lists sexual orientation, but not vocation.

shameless plug for uptimeFunk (https://uptimefunk.com) that i soft launched a some time ago.
I wanted some uptime monitoring with nice ui and a few advanced features that i didn't find anywhere:
- monitoring mongo db/replicaset status

- monitoring sql databases with basic sql queries

- monitoring host cpu, ram and disk usage

- monitoring docker containers

- and being able to monitor all of this through ssh tunnels because not all my services are on the internet
It's not hard to wait for some other io to occur, then issue a few requests and piggyback on the blink. I assume they're not in a big hurry.
My guess is that established companies (esp. those with existing offices) will require on-site work, new companies without will more likely not... more flexibility for founders and reduced costs if they believe in remote.

That should leave everyone with plenty of options, but on-site + startup combo would have fewer positions and vice-versa remote + established company.

Otoh, over time I could see a profound shift to remote if these new companies were to start replacing old ones and remote worked for them. But there might be a limit where a certain company size favors on-site.

I'm one of those weirdos who hates going in to the office. However, I'd like to provide a counter-point to that fact. My company has offices in Europe and I _love_ going to the office over there. Hate it in America. Love it in Europe. The question I ask myself is why? I don't feel isolated from my family. Its a couple blocks away. Safe and easy to get to. My son whose very young could safely walk there and back without being harmed (intentionally or accidentally). The city is so safe he could take the subway on his own if he wanted to. If I want to go home I can. If I want to go to lunch my family can meet me halfway.

The office in Europe _feels_ like an extension of home (in my experience - maybe not true for all). I feel a general sense of ease there. Taking the subway in New York or driving to work in Houston feels like a horrific burden that I'm just not willing to put up with anymore.
In the 1980's sending several megaHerz signals over long copper wire was too difficult. So optic fibre was used. In those days Ethernet using thick coax cable was limited to 3MHz.

even if he and the sources all know a friend a work on these teams, it's still not enough evidence. im very skeptical at the same time, I'm not completely shut off to the idea, I mean I'd say 98 to 2 percent are the odds differential but that's up from like 0.00000001 percent previously, before all the ufo releases.

I'm warming up, and I'm not naive enough to claim what a civilization a million years now advanced than us with bigger and more efficient brains(or ai) could accomplish in large enough time scales.

This is definitely the just trustworthy source to date, perhaps, but still the evidence isn't enough to blindly just say, yes it's definitely aliens.

Luckily, only on the slow version of reddit.
I'm Brazilian and have nothing against Astrud. The point however is that she's simply now well known in Brazil. She became famous as the singer for the English version of Girl from Ipanema. In Brazil this song has portuguese lyrics and is sung by other interpreters. That is, I imagine, why she wasn't as well received in Brazil as in the US and other countries.
“ The compiler may not be able to compete with hand-written assembly, but it seems an AI can hand-write assembly code that's even better in some cases.”

This made me think “imagine if AI was the compiler”, that is to say you went from C or whatever to assembly via AI directly so it was “hand writing” the equivalent assembly for your instructions instead of using generic compilation.

We might find everything runs much faster.

Samsung forces ads and malware down users throats regardless of whether they buy the cheapest phone or the latest flagship. Same goes for their highest end TVs. It’s really hard to blame the consumer for being price sensitive when they get ads on their $5,000 TV.
> No, ethanol has a lower energy density, but not that much lower as to make a huge difference.

This isn't correct. It does make a huge difference in 4-stroke and an even larger difference in 2-stroke. Any engines that are being used for capacity / load will showcase the differential in a very significant way. Even according to the US Department of Energy they state that: "Denatured ethanol (98% ethanol) contains about 30% less energy than gasoline per gallon." [0]

If you've never towed in a vehicle that can use E-10 or E-15 and compared, I'd suggest you give it a shot. Be prepared for upwards of over 25% difference in gas mileage alone, not to mention reduction of power.

Do you have a source for this stats?
Crypto has a viable micropayments for content story, see e.g. https://stacker.news . An upvote costs a minimum of 1 Satoshi (currently about 0.025¢)
Perhaps because they don't want to actually block you from doing this, but want to have the plausible deniability that they put measures in place?

(And 'they' here might mean the company as an abstract entity, or perhaps just the engineer put in charge of implementing this feature?)
You can rent a mailbox if you don't have one.
…and yet these systems all still outcompete crypto for the use cases you cite. We must therefore discern that the risk of getting fucked by payment processors is less than getting fucked by the crypto ecosystem.
That's the way I feel. I saw an update about providing API access to accessibility specific apps but even with that I'm still not interested. Why would I want to use a site that makes limited efforts at accessibility and could revoke the ability for people to perform free labor to fix issues they have chosen to ignore?
Gary Gensler isn't targeting individual crypto users. He isn't even targeting Bitcoin; these suits are related to other coins that fall under ordinary, existing securities regulations. This is just routine civil law enforcement of the sort that occurs in every industry; if crypto is an exception, it's only because companies in that space have an unusual tendency to break the law.

It's crypto. If you don't act in time the money is just gone. If they wait until Binance actually pulls the Ponzi it will be way too late.
I'd be interested to see the data re: "processing imported lumber mostly". Statewide back in 2016, California timber harvest was 1,572 MMBF; wood processing facilities received 1,483 MMBF; 11.5 MMBF flowed into California from other states; 99.7 MMBF flowed out of California for processing out of state or export according to https://www.bber.umt.edu/pubs/forest/fidacs/CA2016%20Fact%20...
Gerontocracy
How do you know Binance hasn't stolen anyone's money? Is there a reputable auditor's statement to that effect? Seems very unlikely when Binance pretends they're not even headquartered in any jurisdiction. Nobody has any idea about Binance's actual money flows and where customer funds have actually ended up.
Also: Even if you are not impaired, a phone can go with you and theoretically let you keep tabs on things while running errands, on your break at work, etc. Your work computer may not be a means for you to login to Reddit and moderate anything, even on your break.

There's a growing consensus that most people like having an office to go to (more social, separated from kids/partners, etc.) but hate to commute.

As a thought experiment, people should ask themselves: if I could walk 5 min to my office, would I still want to work from home?
It seems like a very unusual desire to specifically want to work in-person with people on the same project, rather than working in close collaboration with friends/coworkers you get along with. There are many people I've worked with that I absolutely don't want to be in the same room as, and some that made lab-type environments fun.

You don't get to choose with in-office. Everyone's forced to work together. Is there something about working on livestream/groupchat video that you don't find as an acceptable alternative? My office has a dedicated session for that once a week if people want to join, though it's been pretty empty since lockdown lifted.

I've only learned of the Good Ol' Days of the 90s from second hand sources, and I was in middle school throughout the aughts, so for me these periods are just a mirage of a better time. In high school I pursued reverse engineering and other stuff, so I could blissfully ignore the newer direction the industry was taking all the way until 2019.

But now I'm close to graduating university. Is there any kind of job where this kind of software is still more common? PHP web development, sysadmin work, writing systems software or native software, etc.

@Alexander B

Specialized ASIC were developed after crypto became popular.
If the car fleet kills half as many people as a human with a $1000/car system, and zero people with a $100,000 system, then we should immediately put the $1000 system on 100 times as many cars as we could put the $100,000 system on. (I picked those numbers because that is the order of magnitude range I have heard self driving car companies quote.)

The $100,000 system would only ever make sense if the fleet was already entirely self driving, and money for other life saving stuff like the environment and health care also hit suitable diminishing returns. Of course, by then, the cheap systems will have improved.

This argument holds for any non-negative dollar value you place on human life.

It is also independent of who owns the vehicles. Money the bus fleet spends in expensive self driving pulls money away from bus stop upgrades, pollution controls, etc, etc.
Wallet has a prominent un-dismissible ad for apple pay that sits above any actual items one might add to the app. IMO part of the overall trend towards tasteless and classless growth at any cost mindset from Apple.

Well I’m not sure I’d draw a meaningful difference between Xbox and PC in this context, but at best you’d then just have two channels: Sony and Microsoft (Xbox/PC) so it’s no different than Apple and Google.

But specifically for computer channels there’s effectively just one: Windows PC.
Or, they fucked up by not being sufficiently careful before, and now they're being more proactive.

HCP Operating Incomes (in thousands of dollars)

- 1/31/2023: -297,287

This line seems to heading in a direction which is never making profit.

Nearly all of the tech IPOs over the last few years share the same story. These are companies that have never been shown to make a profit, with no clear model how to. Finally these companies need to prove this is possible.

We have an entire generation of C-levels running these sorts of companies that have never worked in a non-tech bubble where money is free.

Based on my own experience in a similar company, "leadership" has absolutely no clue how to make these things happen, but enthusiastically believes they will. Leadership earnestly believes that this about surviving a tough time, and soon everything will be back to low interest rates and free money.

I suspect these small layoffs will continue for a long time and then we'll start seeing more of these companies completely collapse.
How would you do that? Are you not going to interact with the entrepreneurs and see their faces?
This doesn't seem like a hard problem, if you want to work in an office seek out companies that are working in the office. What's the issue here? Plenty of companies require it and are slowly enforcing it. I don't know where you live but plenty of companies in Boston, which use to be remote, are requiring more people to come in the office now (DataDog, Klaviyo, Chewy, all the finance/insurance companies, DOD contractors, and lots of the satellite big tech offices like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, SalesForce, etc are requiring it).

Are you upset that more interesting companies/problems to work on are mostly remote teams? Remote work is one of the few hard, real, and sought after benefits people want that a company of any size can provide to stay competitive in the labor market.

As for me, I have no problem working in an office but the commute needs to be less than an hour of walk + subway/bus otherwise it's too much of a negative externality. Maybe there should be more offices where people live and not massively congregated into a single location? You can blame poor planning for that. There's no reason why there can't be more mixed developed neighborhoods.

> It blows my mind that Google management is among those who think that the pandemic is over.

The pandemic is over for people who are fully vaccinated (and have likely already had Covid on top of that).

Vaccines do make us less likely to spread Covid to others, but the crucial part is that they protect us. It's good for the public if everyone is vaccinated, but it's not a vital component of keeping ourselves safe. It's not like masking, where we needed others to use masks.

As for the immunocompromised, all companies should make a policy to allow those people to work remotely forever.
I’m having a pedantically tough time with this headline. It’s like saying “pork makes better lard than ham”, or “grain makes better whiskey than rye”. Maybe that’s true, the superset might have better properties for the purpose than the subset? But it’s a really strange distinction to make.

When i was in Ukraine before the war an ATM ate my debit card. Being stranded in a foreign country without an ATM card is pretty difficult. I thought that as soon as I walk into that Russian-owned Alpha Bank I would get my ATM card back. It actually took 4 days of daily visits and arguing with them in English and sometimes even in Spanish, where they asked me to write a letter to Kiev in Ukrainian, and wait a month for a decision. After that experience I was afraid to insert my ATM card into any bank machine over there. Instead I started buying Bitcoin on Coinbase and selling it at the local Bitcoin outfit for Hryvna and USD, to pay my rent.

According to NYT, Binance was moving billions into accounts held in Seychelles, Lithuania and Kazakhstan etc. via two banks that failed earlier this year in patterns that resemble money laundering[0]. If Binance was laundering its funds through two banks that just went through liquidation, you can bet that auditors figured that out pretty quick.
