For simpler use you can get an OpenWRT capable router which in most cases uses a managed switch chip. OpenWRT provides a nice interface to configure VLANs and other options.
Just out of curiosity...You say there was no written contract at the start? If you wrote everything (or at least the majority of the code) and there's no written IP assignment, then you could conceivably _leave with the product_. It's yours, not theirs. Maybe. At least, the IP is encumbered by that fact.

I'm not saying leave w/ the IP, but you may in fact have a LOT more leverage here than you thing. You need to talk to a lawyer ASAP.
I tried to write the same thing but apparently its controversial

My best guess is that people need to feel validated that crypto is smaller than its airtime, and that they didn't waste the last decade of their life in an echo chamber of things that went wrong in the space at the exclusion of the things working fine
the same is true for SMS/call spam - my phone number is a single digit off from my wife's, she gets 6-10 total spam messages and calls a day, i get one a year. It's because she uses her cellphone number to sign up for fuel rewards and stuff, and they immediately sell it. I use my voip number to sign up for anything, and i have notifications shut off for SMS - and a phone tree for calls. Spam calls never get through a phone tree/IVR.
Even outside of those secular ceremonial rituals, old "religions" simply don't look like new religions.

In old Finland, they believed you could transfer a sickness from a person to a rock, and then throw that rock away. Was that religious?

They believed you could heal an arrow wound if you chanted the origin story of how arrows came to be, and told the prototypal first arrow it was used wrongly, that it should be ashamed and take back the harm. Was that religious?

I cannot imagine that it could get much worse.

I don't have an Android phone anymore, and to be potentially fair to Proton, my last Android phone was an utter piece of shit (Pixel 7 Pro). I know people who had the Pixel 7 Pro and they didn't seem to hate it, so it's possible that it had some hardware issues, but it certainly didn't seem like hardware issues. I hated that thing so much that it completely turned me off of Android for the foreseeable future, since this was not a cheap phone, and it was Google's flagship phone: if they couldn't get a good experience on the flagship product, I didn't see why the experience would be much better on anything else.

Anyway, it's possible that the Proton app didn't suck as generally on Android as it did for me, it could have been the phone's fault, but it did leave a very bad taste in my mouth. As stated, the iOS version of the Proton app is totally fine, I haven't had any issues with it other than I don't really like the theme, but that's hardly worth complaining about.
Two main situations I think. The first is just interactive use in any shell to encode ad-hoc JSON. If you have a next-gen shell which can handle structured data directly, then you probably don't need it.

Second is situations where you'd rather not add an additional dependency, but bash is pretty much a given. For example, CI environments, scripts in dev environments, container entrypoints. Or things that area already written in bash.

I don't advocate writing massive programs in bash, for sure it's better to turn to a proper language before things get hairy. But bash is just really ubiquitous, and most people who do any UNIX work will be able to deal with a bit of shell script.
Why can't we just "reset" Usenet?
Usenet, having been around for several decades now has gotten to the point where you can't just host your own server. While I get the reason behind that, why is not a good idea, to perhaps split away from the current dataset and start a new feed of Usenet servers without the older data and without binaries? The current Usenet would still be present, but it would allow for people not only to go back to self-hosting Usenet, but would also get rid of some of the "junk" that people don't want. And removing binaries from the new one, doesn't stop people from using the old Usenet to continue doing so.

Why would this be a bad idea?

I used a lot of solvers in the early 2000s in my Operations Research master after my econometrics study. While now working on software (web) that uses python I’m thrilled to see these deep dives on this subject!

I love the subject and reading this brought back a lot of memories. Also the realization that translating constraints to a model (variables, structure etc) is 90% of the work and the most difficult part.

I think there’s often a disconnect in these discussions between people that work on libraries and people that work on the application code.

If you have written a library, the user will provide some inputs. While the rounding behavior of floating point operations is well defined, for arbitrary user input, you can’t usually guarantee that it’ll go either way. Therefore, you need to do the numerical analysis given users inputs from some range, if you want to be at all rigorous. This will give results with error bounds, not exact bit patterns.

If you want exact matches for your tests, maybe identify the bits that are essentially meaningless and write them to some arbitrary value.

Edit: that said I don’t think anybody particularly owns rigor on this front, given that most libraries don’t actually do the analysis, lol.
I built a Pictionary bot a few years ago using stable diffusion where people could try and guess collaboratively as the randomly generated image (celebrities, pop, culture, cartoons, etc.) slowly was brought into focus across diffusion steps in a discord channel. It was quite popular among my friends.

I wanted to make it available to other discord servers, but couldn't figure out a way which wouldn't break the bank.

If you mean "health insurance providers", then we already have that in Switzerland.

My anecdata is when an obese acquaintance walked in to the (for profit) insurance company and asked for "extra" service; the insurer is not obliged to offer that to everyone (whereas there is also a compulsory insurance), simply based on the looks, I guess.

I kinda loathe these insurance providers, however, I can't disagree with some of their policies (lack of exercise induced obesity and smoking is a big no in my book). So indeed, using the "walk enough" information is probably the future, OTOH countries without similar systems (UK, and Eastern Europe comes to my mind) have collapsing public healthcare where they can't filter out self destructing lifestyle, everyone bears the responsibility.

You're spot on, and there's another point that makes doping unfair even if it was widespread. There is a max hematocrit rule, but riders had different pre-doping base hematocrit levels. Those with the lowest level could benefit more from doping before reaching the limit. In a way, the less gifted would be more advantaged by EPO.

Show HN: I built DoHackersKnow.Me to see yourself through a hacker's eyes
Hey HN,

A few weeks ago, I realized that I was sitting on over 3 billion entries of data breaches published on the Darknet due to my day job as an ethical hacker/red teamer.

So, I created DoHackersKnow.Me, a tool that lets you query those entries by email, phone number, or your name. This way, you can see yourself through the eyes of an attacker and understand what information is accessible about you.

The tool is written in TypeScript and uses Tailwind & DaisyUI for styling.
It had its own weird quirks, and sometimes revealed that it was a front for a single file with a lot of funnily-formatted lines. We're just separated from it in time, and you can only truly hate what is familiar.
The PINE A64-LTS alone is $40 + shipping + taxes, so you cannot have a $17 total cost.

I assume that you mean that the card with the switch circuit alone could reach $17, if made in a large quantity.

However, you cannot make a managed switch with that card alone.

If your current cost has been $40 for a card with the switch circuit, adding the PINE A64-LTS + whatever you have paid for shipping and taxes must make the total around $100, exactly like I have said.

Hey, I’m Jac.

I realized that I have collected a lot of data breaches over time and wanted the average person to have the ability to know what a hacker knows about them.

So, instead of hacking and dissecting software, I decided to build one for a change. (It’s also good to know both sides.)
Wages are also much lower in Japan than the USA. Average Japanese software developer salary is 32,164.34 USD [1]. Even accounting for purchasing power parity, it's still only ~40-50K. That's peanuts. I made $110K straight out of college, with another $100k through equity. I did get lucky through equity (at the strike price, my RSUs would only have been ~50k per year) but even excluding equity that's over twice the average Japanese developer salary for a new grad.

It’s not government censorship. It’s a chilling effect on speech due to fear of retaliation from companies.

It isn’t illegal to call for unionization, but it can be career suicide. There are many things like this. It isn’t so much “society” not wanting to hear what you have to say, but those in power wanting to actively suppress it.

So you don’t need to threaten jail time to affect the same result as government censorship.

LLMs can help a lot there. I've been wanting to write an LLM => Constraint model adapter that does it for you. It's such low hanging fruit, I wonder if anyone else would benefit from it though.
> I wanted to make it available to other discord servers, but couldn't figure out a way which wouldn't break the bank.

I feel this. Most people expect free discord bots, so convincing anyone to pay their share (however cheap) is daunting. This is mainly a challenge with LLM/Diffusion based bots where the cost of running is significant, at least today.
In Japan, new graduates, known as "shinsotsu," have a unique opportunity to secure jobs without relevant experience beyond their schoolwork. In contrast, mid-career hires, called "cyuto-saiyo," are selected based on their skills. However, within companies, rank is determined by tenure, so unless hired specifically as a manager, even experienced hires start at the bottom, regardless of their age and experience. This age-based hierarchy is reminiscent of the traditional lifetime employment system, which persists in some conservative companies.

This system makes it relatively difficult to find jobs elsewhere, creating a negative feedback loop where employees might feel compelled to stay despite poor treatment. This is why many tolerate long working hours and unfavorable conditions. Additionally, some companies make it difficult for employees to resign, leading to the rise of resignation proxies who represent individuals in the resignation process.

This is incorrect, and a common meme that people use to paint his thoughts as simple, when the reality is far more complex and nuanced, and has nothing to do specifically with the West.

It's precisely the type of thing that current LLMs are not suited for. They excel at extrapolating between existing writings and ideas. They do really poorly when trying to do something novel.

I hurt my hand once when I had a dream I was playing basketball and I woke up in the middle of throwing a 3-pointer - so I "jumped" and raised my hands in my bed and hit my hand against the wall.

> Mostly I can get a small hop glide for flying

I can do that very often in dreams, even when I don't realize I'm dreaming and the dream is about something completely different - somehow I often remember that it's a "superpower" I have. I have to run very fast and jump and then if I focus I can slow down the fall and eventually start to ascend. Feels very weird but also very "physical" - I have a lot of intertia and can't decide where I want to fly - just very slowly add some acceleration going up.
My understanding of steroids is that they increase muscle mass all over the body. And that it's a long term health issue for the heart, because having a heart with excess muscle is actually bad long term. A few lifting YouTubers I follow have made videos on the subject. It seems like there's "less unsafe" steroid use, but there will be a life expectancy sacrifice with any level of use.

I don't know what the story is like for EPO and other red-cell increasing drugs. Would be curious to hear yours and a few others' understanding of the cost/benefit.
It seems like Google, of all companies, can afford to let prospective developers at least try the thing they want you to pay for. I think they have the dev power to sufficiently rate limit as necessary.

Frankly the way Google has been advertising their AI offerings shows they don't care about the consumer market. I hear great things about their LLMs, but for some reason I never try them, and most people haven't either.

For better or worse, most people's photos never get transferred to a computer. Heck, there's a ton of people who don't have a non-phone computing device. Pushing their photos to the cloud so they see them after their current device dies is better than working on a new filesystem that allows for multiple host simultaneous access and porting that to everything. I could make a huge list of more tractable things that this hypothetical team could work on to make Android better for way more people.

Top on my list would be getting it so the touch screen just works every time. I can't count the number of times I've had to turn the screen off and on, because the touch screen came up in a way that I can't swipe up to get the code entry because swiping from the bottom to the top of the screen doesn't move it enough. I've had this happen on pretty much all my androids.

Things like booting faster would actually be nice. Especially since sometimes phones reboot in pockets. Setting up applications for faster starting would be amazing. It's not all in Google's court, but a basic hello world with the Android IDE starts up rather slow, even if you've noticed you need to compile a release build.
This is such a superficial argument against.

You can make much more substantive arguments against Anarchism that are reasoned, and reasonable. Making things up instead of understanding the historical record is a choice.

> Can you point to an airdrop connected to a single legitimate (non-gambling) economic activity?

In the thread above, we discussed airdrops to opensource contributors. Writing code isn't generally considered gambling. Rewarding such contributions could be healthy assuming one believes that opensource programmers should be compensated in some way.

Or do you mean that any venture in life where reward for effort is not guaranteed is gambling? In which case, yes, life is generally a gamble.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter: If you think something is a scam, don't participate. No one is forcing you to claim your airdrops. They'll remain on-chain, unclaimed, forever.

But if you can prove something is a scam, please inform the legal authorities in your region. Almost all law enforcement bodies accept submissions and reports of fraud from the public. Hilariously, crypto companies often airdrop large amounts of funds to citizens who investigate and report frauds and scams.
WADA rules do not ban a drug just because it is performance enhancing. Otherwise caffeine would be banned.

Two out of three factors have to be present to ban a drug:

- be performance enhancing
- present a health risk
- violate the spirit of sport

The third one is a bit harder to define but there is a WADA code defining the spirit of sport.

Most banned drugs are banned because of the first two.
