Here is a more complete citation of the incident from the article:

> One such story is an allegation that Hamas beheaded babies in Kfar Azza, a kibbutz near Israel’s southern border with Gaza. The unconfirmed story appears to stem from a single Israeli news report on Tuesday.

> On Wednesday, the Israeli prime minister’s office appeared to validate the report, with a spokesperson saying the babies were found with their “heads decapitated.” The claim went viral, spreading across newspapers, social media platforms and a CNN broadcast.

> President Biden appeared to advance the story in a meeting with Jewish community leaders. “I have been doing this a long time, I never really thought that I would see … have confirmed, pictures of terrorists beheading children,” he said.

> An administration official later clarified Biden’s remarks, saying that Biden was referring to public statements from officials and media reports and had not actually seen the photos.

> Less than a day later, the Israeli government backtracked. “There have been cases of Hamas militants carrying out beheadings and other ISIS-style atrocities,” according to a Thursday statement provided to CNN. “However, we cannot confirm if the victims were men or women, soldiers or civilians, adults or children.”

You're worried about your fleet and that's great. I'm more concerned with the internet as a whole and Wordpress is just vuln after vuln.

I'm happy your systems are secure. That's great.

Unfortunately, that doesn't apply to the 1000s of installations done by amateurs, lax IT, etc. etc. that make the WP vulns a much bigger issue than the 300 you manage.

There's literally an alternative proposed leak method that is the current consensus (market) that is more believable than the lab-leak theory.
How about when he was given a light sentence for driving while drunk and on coke because he was a beloved actor on Cheers but then spent decades espousing conservative tough on crime rhetoric. He sure seems to like progressive sentencing when it benefits him.
I'm not generally opposed to virology research - I do think that it's totally reasonable a lab leak could have lead to this.

Coronaviruses (SARS specifically) have leaked from Chinese labs twice in the last 20 years. These aren't really even controversial incidents, the PRC admitted it. [2]

Lab leaks of pathogens aren't really that uncommon, to the extent Wikipedia has a huge list including labs from all over the world. [1]

tl;dr: viruses escape from labs, so it was never a far-fetched scenario.

It's not absolving anyone from blame. The lab leak theory blames all parties-- it points out that the US NIH funded the research being done in Wuhan, which is public record.

That's leaving aside the specious claim that there's no evidence of lab leak. The evidence of first outbreaks being near the lab are evidence of it being a lab leak, just as the first outbreaks going through a wet market are evidence of natural evolution. We have evidence for both theories.
I can see people attaching songs to TikTok, not! TikTok would have their own version out before they allow Riff to easily attach outside music on their platform.

That depends. Disposable is all about where the company sees value coming from and not. Often companies will start a project fund it for a few years as the hot new thing and then change their mind and cut the project: sometimes those people are let go, sometimes transferred to something new. Sometimes a company will cut profitable business to focus better on something else.

A company needs some middle management, but it is really easy to get more middle management than a company needs. If this is your company, then as soon as upper management realizes this they will reorganize and cut middle management. The same applies to all other levels of employment: if the company thinks there are too many people in a position some will be let go.

Fines don't work, they are treated like the cost of doing business, and are easy to escape (if the corporation, not the person, is fined, move as much of the money away as possible and have the corporation go bankrupt).

So execs need to consider that serious prison time is a possibility, or there will be no constraints on bad behavior.
Yeah, totally fair. If one is very emphatic to that kind of thing, it can definitely be uncomfortable.

What I generally intend by "harmless fun" is exemplified by the episode where they buy and ruin a posh restaurant in a day, but you never hear any mention of the financial ruin from that. Whether they're super rich or not is simply not explored in the show because it's not relevant to the goals of the storyteller. It's like a cartoon: they've just got infinite resources whenever a plot calls for it.

That's quite unlike Bob's Burgers, for example, where they're constantly pointing out that they can't even pay rent on time and there's a constant looming anxiety about finances (which to the credit of the show, contrasts meaningfully with how the children are happy and healthy and want for little)

I interviewed for a place earlier this year that had the best process I’d ever seen - they paid me to come in and pair program with their team for half a day, then took me out for lunch to chat with the CEO and CTO. It was nice!

I probably should have taken that job offer. It was hybrid, not remote, and the pay and benefits were a little lacking compared to my other options - but in retrospect, they might have been a better fit than where I ended up.
Google won’t fix this, they actively profit from the theft sites because Google is the one selling the ads on those pages. Break them up.
If you want to get rid of middle management, you need to have a flat structure as part of your company ethos. You can't just fire middle management and hope things keep working. Flat structures work, but they are not simply a hierarchical model with the middle ripped out.
An a sane world creating a thread would set a global that causes non thread safe library functions to seg fault. Or maybe calling them from two different threads causes a seg fault. But just make it really obvious you're doing bad stuff.
Is it really “lightweight”? Have you ever run a business and been responsible for pricing strategy? I have, and I thought the post made a good point—if pricing is tightly coupled to billing implementation, it discourages experimentation since pricing changes are technically non-trivial.

If you don’t relate to that, maybe the post just isn’t for you? HN is a forum for engineers and entrepreneurs—it’s run by a startup accelerator, after all. Not everything on it has to be purely technical.

Multiple counts of fraud that would have netted $10M and did net a percentage of that? Breaking the notarization process? By a CEO of a tech company?

5 years seems about right, maybe even too lenient.
You're leaving out the usage/ capacity side. If you actually fill all the empty spaces, you'll need to add additional facilities. Current facility usage is usually near capacity already.

I completely agree with this post. Additionally, any manager that is actively interviewing with a company should interrogate not only their financials but the product viability. Your job depends not just on your ability to deliver but much more so on the success of your program / product. This may be entirely out of your control.

'How would you handle shutting down this program/product?' Should be a standard question for interviewing managers.

Proving your argument faulty is trivial, in that it's just a bare assertion that free loading is wrong. That's not an argument at all; it's just a statement.

There are plenty of positions from which it is immoral to allow a human being to starve in a world with so much food. That, too, is a bare assertion, but you've given no reason to think it's any worse than yours. Any time you find yourself appealing to "common sense", that's a red flag that you're really just asserting your opinions as facts.

You'll never be able to prove an "ought" from an "is" -- and you should be skeptical of any moral argument that claims to ground itself in absolutes. You can, however, make your moral assumptions as clear as possible, and then you can investigate why others make different moral assumptions.

Your moral assumptions seem to start with absolutist understandings of property. Those are difficult to justify in a world with a finite commons (all of your wealth involves some contribution from things you did not create), and where you cannot live without help from other people.

That does not disprove your moral assertions, simply because they are moral assertions and cannot be proven or disproven. But I can say that your argument is faulty in that you take the assertion as if it were ground truth, and that you don't seem to have examined your assertion very closely.

Sounds like victim blaming.
If a police officer came to your door to tell you that you were being too loud would you ignore them unless they had a gun pointed at you? I'm guessing that you wouldn't and neither would your neighbor. Almost no one would. Yes, crazy people do exist, but the overwhelming majority are not psychopaths who would shoot anyone who knocks on their door. Most people understand that if you shoot at the unarmed cop, you'll be quickly surrounded by large numbers of armed ones who will come to lock you away.

Very few people will choose to go to prison instead of turning down their music or calming down their guests.
Dying at the hands of an armed criminal is a much better requirement in a job description I guess.

It's funny, loading a .so/.dll was our initial approach to the problem. we found that this didn't work for us for two reasons.

1. Security/packaging problems. Security problem is self-explanatory, and for packaging binaries in SDKs we ran into a lot of issues with languages that don't have first-class support for binaries. It was particularly problematic in golang.
2. Iteration time: waiting for a cross-compilable binary each time we wanted to create a new SDK was a huge testing issue. we needed to build in a way that let us test our outputted SDKs in seconds rather than minutes. we now have a testing pipeline that runs in less than a minute on a bunch of live APIs

so we've gone with an approach that uses a combination of custom macros + templating
From that page (which is from 2019):

> A second error in the Swiss Post planned e-voting system has been discovered as the public intrusion test phase comes to an end. The Federal Chancellery announced the need for action and confirmed a review of the e-voting certification and approval process.

I would argue that the whole point of a public intrusion test phase _before_ the system is ever used live, is to find and eliminate bugs like this. Flaws being found in this phase is surely the process working as intended?

It would be a very different matter if a verifiability bug was found in the live system in 2023 as opposed to the test system in 2019.
That’s it? Free service?
> I assure you managers are very capable of being fickle!

Of course they are. After all, great businesses adapt quickly to changing market conditions, and that is reflected in changing priorities, requirements, and expectations. But reasonable managers will not hold the lack of stability against you, understanding that the work you did was, after all, what they had asked for. They will be happy with your output even if it's ultimately not useful to the business.

If your manager is fickle and they hold it against you, well, life is too short to work for bad management. It's usually much easier to find a new manager (i.e. a new job) than it is to find enough customers that pay enough money for you to not only offset your expenses but to afford a decent living.
messing up and defrauding that way doesn't negate the fact that you still need to be smart on some level(depending on your definition) to create an IT company.

We should definitely punish the fraud. But also look at rehabilitation.

In this case, we are taking someone that could under the right circumstance be a net positive for society and putting him in jail for 5 years where he will most probably come out as a destroyed human.

I will never understand how people desire for revenge negate the bigger picture.

Asimov made many women uncomfortable with his behavior, yes. He was also an all-around friendly and approachable guy, a bright mind, one of the giants of sci-fi, and also a great science communicator.

That's because the solution is radical degrowth. There's no way out of this that doesn't involve massive energy consumption reduction and abandonment of not just fossil fuels, but fossil fuel byproducts. Since the global food supply is both energy-intensive and reliant on petroleum-derived fertilizers (thank you, Green Revolution), that means the earth will support far fewer humans than it does today.

It's interest balancing. If you do a lot of good, more evil is excusable in the mind of the average person. It doesn't make the bad things less bad, but it makes the person more human, as opposed to them being a virtuous angel, which nobody likes.
You're misrepresenting my argument at the top.

My argument here is "We don't know that this was created in a lab, and it's unreasonable to assume it was when we have evidence that it wasn't created in a lab." It's even more unreasonable to create policy based on this wild speculation.

> How is anyone supposed to prove or even provide evidence of such a thing if China doesn't cooperate? And that's really the reason this has exploded. China is not cooperating. No one knows, and that's suspicious.

Difficulty in obtaining evidence doesn't change the burden of proof from "proving a positive" to "disproving a negative".

"Suspicious" is not "damning evidence." But also my understanding is that scientists have studied the virus and determined it doesn't have any of the hallmarks they would expect from a human-altered virus.
ipv6 is such a failure. even if it eventually 'takes over', its still a failure. Its over engineered for something customers didnt ask for (an ip address for every grain of sand in the universe).

There's something to be said about a human readable IP address. Where you can't tell a person the address, you have to copy and paste. where you cant infer any information about the IP address just by looking at it. It adds unnecessary overhead to small packets, etc.

He asserted a society, not necessarily a rule of law. Law formalizes a direction for society, but society can also function in a more ad-hoc manner.

Huh?

Let's say 1 worker works 40 hrs/week, but gets a day off every second week, i.e. 70 hrs/2weeks.

I need to hire a worker to keep productivity the same on that day off.

Now what if 9 other workers are staggered with their days off? My worker has a full time position (well, they need to have a day off too, but for the purpose of example.

"We need someone to work when people are off" being plugged by someone who is, implicitly, covering multiple people's days off keeps productivity exactly the same.

And if you make 100 widgets a day as a worker, you make 100 a day that you're working - we don't count your day off and say "Oh, you're only making 90/day now, worker productivity is lowered!"

I wouldn't say I "used to" have a similar worldview. In fact I find myself agreeing with most every passage in the manifesto. Agreeing with "yes, but..." - because while we can assert our "belief" in things, when those beliefs are taken for granted while not lining up with actual reality, they form their own oppressive dogma! For example it's quite rich for a VC to make assertions about free markets while simultaneously having drastically altered their investment strategy due to government ending the decade long feeding trough of near-zero interest rates. Hence the general criticism of being out of touch.

Your comment is a good synthesis point. In fact one might say the amount of criticism and nay-saying is directly related to the inequality, either economic or social (dis)enfranchisement of lacking purpose. So pushing in the opposite direction isn't really helping the cause of growth, but rather causing that gulf to widen and the criticism of "techno optimism" to grow.

The fundamental problem I see is making sure governments pass productive laws that encourage computational wealth to remain distributed, as opposed to authoritarian laws that actually cement routine corporate control while reserving ultimate control to the state. The latter approach basically only works with quantifiable monetary wealth, in that the state can collect taxes and then convert them into material welfare. But this approach doesn't work with non-fungible liberty, where the distributed structure must be preserved rather than ever being centralized to begin with. eg GDPR vs TikTok hysteria. Or antitrust enforcement to end this anticompetitive bundling of software, services, and hosting, versus "eliminate sec 230".
