This, although I hate the phrase “earn a living.” The right not to preventably and painfully die should be unconditional.

True, in a state of nature, we would all have to work to survive, but we also wouldn’t have to obey anyone’s so-called “property rights” either. We could just use our hunting spears on the people trying to block our access to resources. If society expects us to follow rules, as it needs us to do in some fashion, then it should offer basic protection.
But what you've listed above are a bunch of reasons why a whitelist isn't enough. Because you can whitelist modules, but without extra precautions you have no idea whether the module you've loaded has been compromised. And even if you check the code signature of the module you're loading, unless you have some way of detecting code injection the modules or the engine code can be compromised at any point during runtime.
The amount of energy consumed is a function of the price of the crypto. The more people who use Bitcoin the higher the demand (and hence price) for Bitcoin becomes, making it financially viable to pump even more computing power into mining for coins.

You find it annoying that people bring up the energy consumption because you know you don't have a fix for it.
This does not seem like a good faith engagement. I scrolled to a random page and it said, "Take the claim in the History of the Jews in Poland article, that Jews have specific physical characteristics." This makes it sound like some kind of antisemitic statement. I checked the cited revision of the Wikipedia article and it stated, "Jews with the specific physical characteristics were particularly vulnerable."[1] This matches the source, which says, "Jews with the physical characteristics of curly black hair, dark eyes, dark complexion, a long nose were in special jeopardy."[2]

Apple introduces new Apple Pencil, bringing more value and choice to the lineup
I’m not arguing your point. I don’t use “honestly” as a colloquial phrase or crutch word, but I think this has at some point passed into the vernacular as a crutch word.

I’m not defending the parties making the claims either. Just an observation.

I don’t get why people always hate on leetcodes.

Anyone can train and get good at it, it makes interviews short and not time consuming, it’s a standard accros industry so you can focus on studying it and not have to read one book for each company you apply to.

What would be a better alternative? Hiring based on connections? Take home assignments that takes 15 hours to complete? Domain specific knowledge grilling?
I think mini projects + code review is the way to go for smaller places. Make the projects large enough that an AI couldn't generate correct code right off the bat and then in a follow up conversation dig into the code and ask for their reasoning to make sure they understand the code they wrote so you know that they either wrote it or fully understand it to the point where it doesn't matter if an AI write it and they tweaked it.

To be honest, as a CTO (not currently hiring though) I want people that can use AI to speed up their coding but who know how to use it well. If anything I suspect those devs are better than devs who don't use AI as they are practicing using their code reading abilities more often and filtering away any bad code written for them.

Anybody else feeling the only way to have any measure of freedom in your life these days is to run your own business? I would rather be a the whim of customers than some manager.
> pricing info is specific to that purchaser

This is a nightmare. Can you elaborate?
It's a matter of perspective.

From a worker point of view, being open about what we're earning will help bring to light if we're being exploited.

From a business owner point of view, employees having this knowledge disturbs the power imbalance employers enjoy when it comes to compensation negotiations.

I think more people than you'd expect in HN are in the latter camp. This site was launched as Startup News, after all.
Training Your Natural Error Rate
If costs are so high only the rich can afford to live there, you either end up with a rich area or an abandoned one.
This makes sense.

What are some examples of things that a manager can do which will save time for an IC?

A mature team will hopefully have implemented efficient workflows.
I have to wonder how much of this middle management heavy organizational structure was introduced by cultures that place undue significance to 'becoming a manager' in computing success in profession.
oh come on. I don't think "Germany is the best". In fact, I am leaving germany soon for a new opportunity in the UK. I wouldn't otherwise, right? But it's because it's a great opportunity in a beautiful city I always wanted to live in.

I hope it's not Switzerland, internationally recognised tax haven. If your country profits from the tax-avoidance of the rich then I won't consider it.

I agree that the pension scheme is really the achilles heel of the german state, as the pensions schemes are not really determined bye their true worth. But that's literally only one function of many. And the it also has good sides, as you there's less risk of serious poverty in old age.

> Germany could remove all federal income tax

While it's certainly a big part, it's still the minority of the federal budget and so you could only reduce the federal income tax. Things like research, social safety net for work-seekers, healthcare or major transportation routes are in the hand of the federal state.

EDIT: In the end I am not really arguing that germany is best. But I am arguing that in germany the taxes fulfil important functions and in the end they manage to deliver on most points. You might not want to accept it, but then moving abroad or changing the system from within is the only way to do it, but not staying in germany and avoiding taxes. Pay your fair share if you do your business in germany. I am convinced that successful entrepreneurs have social responsibility, because economy serves society and not the other way around.

This is like when the EU said "all phones shall have USB chargers" (except that IIRC the EU only announced that and didn't actually enact the requirement). Good thing.
...on Windows, single-threaded programs don't really exist; any DLL can, and most of them do, spawn worker threads as an implementation detail. Some of them do it the moment their initializer is being run, so if you link your program against something else than kernel32 and its friends (the basic Windows system libraries don't spawn worker threads on being loaded), then when a thread finally starts executing your executable's entry point there is no guarantee that this is the only thread that exists in your process. And in fact, finding a non-toy, real-world Windows application that has only one thread is almost impossible (for example, IIRC all .NET runtimes have worker-thread pool from the get go so that rules out any .NET executables).

Which is why on Windows there is almost no system APIs (well, almost: there were some weird technical decisions around single-threaded apartments for COM...) that can be safely used only in single-threaded applications.

Maybe in several more decades Linux community will also accept the fact that multi-threaded applications are an entirely normal and inevitable thing, not an aberration of nature that we all best pretend don't exist until we're absolutely forced to deal with their reality.
You were lucky that you were made aware of the agent’s intentions such that you could circumvent them. Quite often this is not the case.
You’re getting really close to the ideas embodied by Assembly Theory, mostly developed by the Leroy Cronin and Sara Walker research groups.
A country with a huge amount of potential. It's got the third largest manufacturer of airliners in the world, for instance. The only biofuel program that is really profitable. My environmentalist friends really disapprove of JBS but it is another "national champion" that is truly world beating.
Not only religious minds, but modern philosophers too, hold onto dualism - David Chalmers and his "hard problem" of consciousness is a case in point. Here, "hard" signifies what science can't touch, suggesting a distinct domain.

Likewise, philosophers such as Giulio Tononi with his Integrated Information Theory are edging towards panpsychism, the idea that everything possesses a shred of consciousness. This, too, is a somewhat religious stance.

I personally see no hard problem and believe only certain systems harbor consciousness. The magic element is simply evolution. Evolution, an open-ended optimizer, crafted everything in a singular run.

Consciousness exists to safeguard the body and ensure self reproduction, it is the inner optimization loop, the outer one being evolution. That's the link I see between them, they work together and each one is creating/supporting the other.

Without Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer, the Mac would have been dead. Gil Amelio negotiated their continuation (as settlement for the old Look & Feel and QuickTime lawsuits) with Microsoft and Jobs closed the deal by letting up on some of Amelio's demands. Microsoft could have just said no and the Mac would have been useless to both education and business and they would have been dead in weeks as you said.

NeXT would never have built the iPhone, they had given up on hardware.
Insurance is about playing the odds game where you amortise risk amongst all your customers. As risk approaches certainty, the economics don't work out as you need to charge each customer the replacement cost which at that point they won't want to pay.
> you would be morally obliged to disobey

In days of yore my CS law module was taught by a QC - that's a high
ranking barrister in the UK - who explained the world of difference
between the "The Rule of Law" and "the law" in a class called
"jurisprudence".

Rule of Law (capitalised conceptual) is there as permanent ground
truth in contrast to the ephemeral du-jure laws.

At times I still struggle with that profound counter-intuitive idea;
that if one deeply, passionately believes in the necessity of The Law
and all of society's institutions, one must with equal passion break
laws and throw rocks at the police when they are tools of tyrants,
idiots and dumb laws.

Indeed today I think that opposition to technological tyranny has
become the mark of the true conservative, and that defenders of common
sense and simple human dignity are forced to assume the "radical"
position.

High ideals are very expensive.
That is absolutely false. Every single person on my team at work pirates instead of paying for the streaming services. At first, when it was just one or two services, I think people did pay, but as prices raised and the streaming services became fragmented, it was much easier to pirate.

Ive seen a supermarket hitting the skids. One with heavy foot traffic (they failed to renegotiate the lease).

It is one of the saddest, most depressing things i've ever seen. Just seeing staff, most of whom had been working in that market for years, was heartbreaking. You didn't even have to talk to them to see how the slow moving death sentencew was affecting them

It gave me a taste of how living in a communist country must be like.
> One of the best-demonstrated advantages of writing by hand seems to be in superior note-taking. In a study from 2014 by Pam Mueller and Danny Oppenheimer, students typing wrote down almost twice as many words and more passages verbatim from lectures, suggesting they were not understanding so much as rapidly copying the material.
> Handwriting—which takes longer for nearly all university-level students—forces note-takers to synthesise ideas into their own words.

If this is the best demonstration, it means there is no advantage - this is just an illustration of the awfully designed lecture system where any copying is required at all instead of having the full transcript readily available and spending the time to actually listen
It's not "so expensive". It's a couple of cups of coffee from Starbucks, for 720 hours of content per month per person. Even if you factor in 8 hours a day of sleep you could watch it for 16 hours per day per person for one low price. That's about US$0.01 per hour.
SBF Requests More Adderall to Ensure He Can Testify
Attestation is basically gone – it doesn’t work with cloud sync, which is largely where things seem to be moving.

My main concern at this point is user confusion, followed by platform lock-in.

Or am I missing a way for users migrate from the Apple ecosystem to Google or vice versa, for example, without registering new passkeys for all of their accounts before they trade in their old device (or it breaks and they try to recover on another platform)?

Not even 1Password supports exportable passkeys at this point. Apple even lets me easily share them across accounts (which seems like a huge risk!), but obviously not across ecosystems either.
Anecdotally, there are a fair number of new customers that are there because it's legal. This is especially true for edibles, despite the low THC, and the CBD oil/edible products.

I know several people who were avid smokers (even before cannabis was effectively decriminalization after Harper left office and people stopped caring) who still have "their guy" because it is "cheaper and better quality" than what they stores can legally sell.

> This is a textbook example of a good idea, executed terribly.

Partly this was due to the constraints imposed by the "reefer madness" crowd and partly due to the unexpected gold rush. Also, who would be surprised that people like Bill "Pot is Dangerous" Blair would botch a cannabis roll out. I kind of wish they would do a reset and rework the legislation now that people are less worried about it, but the current political climate makes that impossible.
What if I told you any large organization can be incompetent? Not saying they are, but there becomes a point in a corporations life when it becomes full of people who flock to it due to prestige and pay. The original founders are often out of the picture and their original product is beginning to turn into shit.
The buyer's agent's incentive is the same as the seller's, which is to turn houses as fast as possible. That's a huge misalignment on the buy side. If the buyer dislikes the house enough to move after several months, that increased liquidity benefits agents.

I wish the buy side agents' compensation were more like a vesting schedule, that would incentivize them more along the lines of getting buyers into long-term residence.
My team is full of it. People that needed to be catered with useless titles just to retain them. We have like 40 Head of XYZ for 10 Senior Devs, it's insanity. The thing is they don't even care about the money if they get a fancy title they would do it for the same money.
Don't forget health insurance! Larger companies have larger risk pools and can afford better health insurance with lower premiums and co-pays for employees than small startups can. Especially as workers get older (and that experience becomes more valuable for startups), the value of healthcare can become a surprisingly large percentage of compensation.

Source: I have family close to retirement age that had significant health issues in the past year, and they estimated that their insurance paid probably $200,000 in the last year alone. Works for a BigCo, not in Silicon Valley.
It already works and has a proof of concept available:
https://github.com/supertestnet/tapleaf-circuits
Kind of! But that state can also be a proof that a transition function is correct, rather than eg raw application state.

Look into Mina or Zcash to better understand what I mean. Off-chain clients (eg, wallets in Zcash) keep the application state, and the state committed to the chain is just the proof that the application state is following an agreed-upon state transition function.

Relying on hashing, computation proofs, etc are ways to asymmetrically enjoy the benefits of global coordination without requiring all nodes in the network to run the code. Instead, they just verify the receipts of off-chain agents who ran the code.
Isn't the ip address space so small that you can just hash the whole set and easily reverse it? Maybe some kind of salt could resolve that.
United's new boarding system is a win for window-seat lovers
Startups tend to be the worst of both worlds. All the process of big companies and al the risk and turmoil of small ones. Not worth it except to be a founder or executive. Anything else, you should instead get a big company job, get a promotion or two, and use the name and momentum to get something with real upside.

Solar, once installed, has close to zero CO2 emissions (maintenance being the only source). And it is absolutely possible, and done. Not by politicians, but by people investing in the projects.

Honestly, being "willing to grind" might be a good thing to target if it's a good proxy for being willing to do the work.

Organizational leveling criteria is a reflection of your internal hierarchy of authority, decision making, and accountability. Compensation criteria considers that to a degree, but also accounts for more externalities, individual organizational differences, and at times a reflection of strategic priorities.

These things are related certainly, but they cannot be considered interchangeable of you will find yourself over-paying for labor or losing recruiting battles to your talent competitors due to underpaying. Believe me - most organizations would love nothing more than to just pay everyone the same and be able to retain their desired stuff and stay competitive in the market. Compensation activities are a drain.
> It's fair to characterize life as a process that locally decreases entropy

I would characterise life as a process that copies its information into the future.

Maybe the idea of copying and that of decreasing entropy are closely related. It's interesting that life needs digital codes to evolve, they seem a requirement for both maintaining low entropy and copying.

Not only an excess number of managers, but an excess number of poorly performing and poorly trained engineers.

2018-2022 was peak shit eating time for managers. I had to put up with no end of candidates who couldn't pass even the easiest technical exams (and we intentionally made them easy to weed out only the pretenders). Candidates would ghost interviews and after receiving an offer, would lean on it for a higher salary for anyone else. They wanted $250-300k with just five years experience. It was the frothiest and least professional recruiting environment I had seen in 35 years.
