Dealt with RIPE quite a bit, but haven't done the work to set up a LIR from scratch. Once had to regain control and change some IPv4 and related assets in their database as the company was acquired, but they had not even updated the assets from the previous company name and the access key wasn't documented. RIPE demanded me to fax them the request on company letterhead of the previous company, did find that in storage and luckily enough the big office printer could also fax.

Oh boy, like I'm going to turn that off.
If I'm disconnected from the real-world impact of my job, I'm likely to think it's bullshit. That doesn't make it a bullshit job; that just means that I can't see how it fits into the bigger picture. Companies aren't going to keep people employed if they're not somehow contributing to profitability or growth.
When money is even slightly tight, AC maintenance feels like the first thing to go. It costs a fair amount of cash just to get people out there up on the roof.

They'll only call in work when it suddenly is 85 in the dining room and they're wondering why.
yeah, pretty easy to retain 90% or more

just got to use the dirty address with dirty funds to pump an asset you already own in a separate clean address that you bought with clean KYC’d money.

you just sell the asset your dirty money pumped and now you’re just another lucky speculator that bought a random meme coin early with some capital gains tax to pay.

if you get ambitious maybe other people keep pumping the asset and your dirty address can sell the asset at even higher prices again to them. rinse repeat.
Absolutely. I see the IA as more of a bulk storage area, with little community, and my site will have more commentary and community built around it. But everything that gets scanned for my site will also be available for the IA too.

That is not an argument against the concept that that should not be the case.
Until enshittification. And then they’ll be hollowed out.
I have a mild version that is not that frequent. I did not realize how big of a problem this is for many people.

Thank you for raising this question, there are some good techniques posted here that I am going to try.
I don't know how the authorities were convinced that they won't make ActiBlizz games exclusive.

When they acquired Bethesda, a similar concern was brought up. Fast-forward to today, new Bethesda games aren't releasing on Sony consoles. It started with Starfield. TES6 won't release on PS either.
He's being rewarded for growing net income roughly a hundred fold between 2010 and now. I think it's fair that he gets a huge chunk of the value he's created for investors.
I think once has to look below the surface. A lot of people would say cruises are decadent and waste of money. Yet they give older adults a lot of joy before they die. But maybe this doesn't meet the lofty expectations of aspirational people?
Yes the chat interactions don’t help with capability (what it can do) they only help with alignment (what it should do). And you don’t need a lot to get good results. Crowdsourcing will be enough.
Decentralization not only means that you need 50%+1 of miners to accept, but also that there isn't a centralized driving authority to kick-start banning initiatives like that.
I’m reading this as he was a regular guy that may have asked some women out a few times given the hyperbole and dissembling around this entire thing.
Watching this cat and mouse game is fun. I hope it will result in safer, less exploitable AI when it arrives.
My Asus router, when using OpenWrt, can't keep up with my internet connection, so I'm putting (admittedly minimal) effort into finding a suitable upgrade with the intent to keep the Asus as a backup.

I've also looked at installing OpenWRT on my USG, but only the snapshot version is available and the process is fairly involved[0] so I haven't really explored this.

At this point though, I'm not likely to go back to Unifi for routing. I needed to use the config.gateway.json (I think) workaround to add some DNS config[1] to my USG, whereas with OpenWrt I can do this entirely in the UI.

Thank you for that comment. I'm a bit of a typography nerd (and uſed to tranſlate manuſcripts, albeit in middle-Perſian, not Latin) and I DID conſider using it. β≠ß, right?
It’s not the crypto transactions that would get you, I think. It’s turning that crypto into hard currency: This is money laundering, and while lots of criminals successfully launder money, quite a bit of effort is expended at all levels to make handing someone large volumes of cash—for any purported reason—difficult to do unscrutinized.
Microsoft produces video games. They acquired another company that produces video games. How is this antitrust?
Cars are a 'privacy nightmare on wheels'
Have you tried Modula-2, which fixed most of Pascal's problems although created a few other problems?

How about Ada or Oberon, both much better than Pascal or Modula-2?
I'm not seeing the connection. The article makes several assertions, but they are about greater exporting of companies, smelters, and lead mining. Like this:

Less US primary lead production meant more imported lead from countries like Peru, South Korea, and China, all of which had weaker standards for protecting workers and public health.

The headline is not an accurate reflection of what is actually in the article, and seems more like Clickbait.
What you're describing there is typically the result of government-imposed regulations stifling free market competition, thus enabling the formation of monopolies (or oligopolies) that wouldn't naturally exist.

It's another example of how pointless government "jobs" cause immense harm.

Without the government interference that enables them, such monopolies/oligopolies simply wouldn't be able to survive, eliminating the problem you're worried about.
Yes of course, but anybody doing anything non-trivial is selling it to the government and not writing about it online. Using the spectrum or waterfall as the input to an RFML system is very common and in my experience works pretty well. A lot of systems also train on I/Q data. Usually these systems are designed to be trained on signals that are relevant to a specific mission. So a product might look like both a platform for annotating and training a model as well as deploying it, usually as a plug-in into a separate expensive SIGINT platform. The biggest products I'm aware of aren't even advertised and last I heard cost in the six figures.
Thanks for the additional information. I've updated/closed the GitHub issue below and confirmed the fix.

Hope you understand that this was an unknown condition prior to your helping out (I'm on Android where back navigation was unaffected) and certainly not a deliberate attempt at bad UX just to push a DO ad. Again, thank you for the valuable feedback as it helped solve the problem faster!
> It is not clear how you can transfer purchases, or if that is even possible.

I agree, but there are at least a few clear reasons I can imagine why Apple don’t want this:

1. They don’t want people to resell software that they bought.

2. If you could transfer licenses, a group of many people could share a single license between them, transferring it back and forth. Instead of all of them buying one license each.

3. If licenses could be transferred there would for sure be cases of scammers tricking people to transfer their licenses for paid software to them.
Prioritize relationships and sales over technical excellence of the product. “Never give up” is horrible advice, this isn’t a movie script- if your formula isn’t working change it.
I always get surprised reading hn and seeing comments defending the indefensible, like you could not take 3 seconds out of your time to google all the scandals he's been in?
> I am thinking that most of the time you want your applications full screen

I have a large screen. It's very rare that I want any application to be full screen. I want to use some of that screen to see other things at the same time.
It also reeks of survivorship bias and a privileged/sheltered upbringing. I know plenty of people who live this way and aren’t rich or even middle class. In fact it implies that if you aren’t rich you didn’t live your life a good way.
the current state of scrollbars is a civilization lowpoint.
We have lost our way since the year 2000.
Too many crayons are eaten :-/
Microsoft doesn't have anything close to a monopoly on games. In terms of sales and reviewer scores, most of the top games weren't produced by Activision or other Microsoft studios. The only recent release I'm aware of was Starfield, and that was panned for failing to meet expectations, achieving under 88 on Metacritic.
If people feel that their job is “BS” then telling them that it is unknowable for them doesn't help.

Why am I on trial? That's not for me understand.

Is it possible businesses are colluding resulting in increased profit margins? Obviously.

But we have publicly listed companies with public financials showing non material increases, or even decreases, in profit margin. Which means those businesses are just increasing prices to cover their own increasing cost of goods sold.
Probably the section where it uses a hand drawn paint.exe example as what AI commonly outputs. Just spitballing.
Bobby is the same dude who left a voicemail threatening to kill an employee.
as a it contractor for financial institutions i would say that we earned a lot of money just filling holes made by the previous ones and making our own in the process for the next one. that's what it is, make up problems to solve it later. hell, this whole fucking cursed industry is just that. making holes to fill them up later to keep the wheel of incompetence and delusion spinning. sturgeon law all the way.
Ah yep, that's the one. Thanks!
> There are ‘flunkies’, such as administrative assistants or elevator operators, who do work solely to make other people feel more important

From the article paraphrasing Graeber's work. Seems pretty close.
Broadening the definition of a crime isn't exactly unheard of.

To choose a less emotional subject, mattress tags.

The ethical reason for mattress tags is because historically people would sell mattresses stuffed full of all sorts of unsavory garbage. What we actually criminalized, or at least were trying to prevent, was some sort of fraud or public endangerment.

But we also along the way made it illegal for sellers to remove the tags from mattresses.

Removing the tag isn't inherently harmful; if you don't deceive the purchaser on the contents of the mattress, it's not even fraud.

But we broadened the definition of the crime to make it easier to enforce.
Does he actually feel guilt over it or does he know he has to perform the appearance of feeling guilty?
> Hardly cashing out directly. [...] The thief is probably just selling the crypto to criminal outfit(s) able to launder it at a highly reduced amount.

That's the thief cashing out directly. (Maybe for less than the apparent value, but still cashing out.)
Worst of all the EU Commission is now starting to act like fake news promoters by posting misleading ads (German article): https://netzpolitik.org/2023/politisches-mikrotargeting-eu-k...

It's outraging.
You don't have to use youtube if your don't like the deal they're offering. Seems clear to me that they're no longer interested in Adblock users watching videos on their site.
I currently use Alexa, having played around with Rhasspy (project of the guy who they hired recently) before, and planning to give it another shot now that it's all in HA.

Getting dressed and quickly checking the weather on the way out. Not having to have switches in every corner of the room. Cooking and playing music, pausing it automatically when I need to ask what some cup-shit is in real units, all while I keep doing what I'm doing.

Yeah, I could do all of this in other ways, but it's just way more convenient to use voice.
This is a recipe for enabling scammers
The context clues being that every VC in the world is now trying to prop up their over commitments in 'AI' ...
> At a large corporation, that's the manager.

Definitely not at FAANG. One day you are told your product is super important, the next day it gets destaffed and your manager is as confused about this as you are. On the other end of the totem pole there's SVP who might see the spreadsheet columns which dictate this kind of decisions but is too far from the line workers to have any clue about their reality.
The EU is trying to make it mandatory to allow sideloading. This is bad, but also the opposite of what you are saying.
I'm trying to bootstrap a SaaS ( handshake www.weatherthetrip.com/download also on X @jasonmarks__ ) and sympathize with some of the points. Do I know what YC really does? Not really. Maybe they grease marketing? I don't think that's worth the equity ask though.
He also got a $200mi bonus shortly after he laid off 200 employees: https://frontofficesports.com/activision-blizzard-ceo-bonus-...
That isn’t how equity works
my laymen's understanding: the weather changed, and with it, forests retreated and plains came about. Neanderthals hunted with handheld spears, ambushing pray in the forest (evidenced by denser bones on one half of the body). Homo sapiens were more adept at plains hunting and throwing spears and one population outgrew the other. Cross breeding eventually eradicated the former as evidenced by the fragments of Neanderthal DNA present in the modern population. I've also heard it said that sapiens were more social, leading to better communication between groups.
That's a classic move.

We also had once an office admin stealing stuff. When we revoked his access cards and fire him, he came back the night with a different acces scard and stole more stuff and would pretend then that since his badge was revoked, it couldnt have been him in the first place
No, it can be encrypted and then you have a hook that decrypts the notification on-device. On iOS you need to get approval from Apple to do this though
Well as much as I agree with you I'm sure the legal part of it was looked at with a microscope.

It would have been nice if Microsoft gave him incentive to ride off into the sunset immediately as much as he doesn't deserve it.
I think the root cause is increased abstractness of jobs.

A job where you cut and plane wood to make planks that are used to build houses has a straightforward connection to basic life.

A job where you are trying to influence a group of people - so that they organize themselves to efficiently - make a change to a software tool - that affects a process for measuring of a collective endeavour - of a bigger group of people who are trying to optimize the selling and buying - of complex derivative financial contracts that are used to - increase the efficiency of a market of another financial product - which is a virtualization of actual trading of real world goods - so that incredibly complex entities (corporations) can get various and hard to grasp benefits - so that ultimately planks are cheaper ... such a job is virtually impossible to appreciate.

We are transistors in a byzantine supercomputer of global economy.
Yeah, I was mostly thinking of laptops.
For me, there are three things that make it a great language.

1. simple syntax, you can pick up the language quickly and reading code is easy.

2. backward compatibility for 1.0. This has made it easy to just recompile and get any compiler performance improvements.

3. batteries included standard library. Testing, benchmarking, json, xml, http server all build into the standard library
While I agree that the UX WAS obnoxious prior to the fix below, it was not deliberate and has been fixed.

Oh, I was just reminded of a pointless job: most think tank research. Those kinds of gigs where you are supposed to write a dozen pages long report where you reason back from a conclusion. Very popular in ideological areas like deregulation and private enterprise promotion.
Fuzzy Maps
You can send whatever values you desire as long as your service worker handles it.
Putting aside finer points on privacy at work (depending on jurisdiction not so black and white), recording and making publicly available all work related communication goes way beyond usual surveillance at work places even in regulated communication settings. I have at least never worked in any place that would insist on recording any work related conversations with a co-worker during the morning commute (and to have that publicly available).

No they want to buy a monopoly since they couldn’t earn one.
Love Nebula, keep up the good work!

Do you thing the tech landscape today would have allowed for nebula to be born? Lots of companies now have strict IP agreements they have team members sign.
I don't know what is widely assumed, but I personally assume it was one of the insiders who shared credentials with the pretty clear intention of making it impossible to individually attribute any shenanigans, most likely SBF himself who actually did the theft.

Given the degree of surveillance he is under, he probably didn't directly execute the sale (but I wouldn't bet too heavily even on that.)
DNS blackholing only works for third party ad servers. Twitch has already started embedding ads right into the stream, youtube can't be far behind.
Ooh this looks pretty sweet.
Probably too new for me to convince my enterprise employer but will keep an eye on this for sure.
Turbo Native Crash Course
Turbo Native is a hybrid app framework to bring Ruby on Rails apps to iOS and Android. It's the tech that enables the HEY and Basecamp apps to launch on multiple platforms with a relatively small team of developers.

But the documentation isn't great. And there aren't many examples out there. For Rails developers, having to know Swift or Kotlin can be a huge hurdle.

My goal is to simplify the zero-to-something step. This 2-hour live session will walk through the basics of setting up your IDE, getting starting with the framework, and some pitfalls to watch out for.

It costs $99. I'd love to see you there!

I'm always shocked when I run across people who believe what you're parroting. I have to question if I'm dealing with a troll or not.

Regulation was the chicken, not the egg.
> would be unknown to the FBI

Being _known_ by the FBI doesn’t stop crime or terror attacks. More often than not when something big happens the FBI was already tipped off, an investigation started and then somehow someway the crime/attack/incident still happens.
It sort of is and isn't different. They are both a pat on the shoulder from the government, saying "we've got your back". You run your business very differently depending on whether you know you have that backstop or not.

For a long time SpaceX looked very touch-and-go at best, but could keep up the momentum with promises of government contracts.

Ariane will instead achieve the cost "savings" by receiving some cash, then charging its clients (often governments) a lower price.

Either way, I'm not taking away from SpaceXs achievements.
Get Firefox, install ublock for their mobile. Too bad you can't use most other firefox extensions. Firefox with limited extensions on mobile is way better than Chrome without any extensions, though. Turn on all the 'Annoyances' filters in uBlock Origin that are off by default, like Cookie notices, mobile app banners, pop-up overlays, etc.

I don't know about iPhone, but on Android you can make Firefox the default system browser, meaning anytime an app pops up a mobile browser inlay, it'll be a Firefox view that includes your extensions.

Other mobile browsers might be similar or better. Can't be worse than the built-in, though. There's a reason the default browser doesn't let you use extensions, and it's not to provide you with a better experience.
Dehumidification is really under-explored. If you live in Florida or the Gulf Coast (or similar areas around the world), your home can be at risk of mold and humidity damage during shoulder seasons when the AC is not frequently running (not to mention thermal discomfort [1]). And, dehumidification is key to reducing indoor allergens in these climates, particularly dust mites and mold.

What I couldn't figure out is if there are any circumstances where running a traditional condenser dehumidifier (whole-house, in the attic) would save you energy/money for the same thermal comfort range. A DoE simulation study I can't find says no, but some HVAC forum posters say that it can, and based on experience I'm inclined to think it could in some circumstances. The desiccant wheel dehumidifiers seem to get a lot more water out per kWh [2], making it a win as seen in this new integrated technology.

However, running a floor dehumidifier dumps 800+ watts of waste heat into the space you're dehumidifying, making it impractical for thermal comfort with condensers and maybe even desiccants. I would pay good money for a window-unit dehumidifier that could be used either in apartments or without having to pay for installation and ductwork of a whole-house dehumidifier.

How is buying up two of the biggest game studios not anti-competitive behavior? The apologism in this comment is hilarious. I hope your getting paid for shilling this hard.
Very unlikely. Again, MS just wants the profits. If a studio is doing well, they don't want to touch it. They want a steady revenue stream.

They'll only step in if the studio is floundering and their couple releases have been flops. Then they'll offer direction, and shut them down if they can't fix it.

That's what we've seen from MS so far, and it makes the most sense from their perspective.
But that's a big part of why the US is as successful as it is. A culture against corruption. It's very hard to get rid of it once it entrenches itself, which is why people complain about it.
Normally I'm against such huge mergers - but Activision Blizzard is one of the most hostile companies against their users and employees I have ever seen. I can't imagine this being a bad thing for game fans.
> A cookie banner is a sure sign of the incompetence

I disagree. Per-device staged feature rollout & performance monitoring requires a "functional" cookie, which still needs a consent banner. Using staged rollouts lets us catch issues we couldn't anticipate during internal testing, like browser bugs for specific Android versions on specific vendors, without exposing every device to that kind of bug at once. If you consider that invasive, then you can use the cookie banner to opt out (as required by law), but it's not a sign of organization incompetence.
