I like your line of reasoning, however, apparently the mechanism the attacker used was patched. According to your logic, this is the fundamental design of the system, and should be impossible to patch. That makes me more inclined toward the

Thanks for the direct link, it'd be good if the post linked here vs a reheated version of the same content.

A certain amount of regulation runs the risk of leaving us in a situation where a competitive moat is established between companies large enough to handle the regulatory burden and everyone else for whom it represents an unsurpassable barri

I can only speak for myself and my org of 300 or so, but it’s surprising how few people are actually interested in a 20% project. I’m sure there are factors at play here: * we have a lot of work to do, the poster in this thread who is bored

Education is a completely different animal. You’re not comparing apples to oranges here, you’re comparing leptons to gorillas. I’m good friends with one of the high school teachers at “an elite private school in the Bay” (HRS) and it’s fun

Your manager’s manager should be working with her to help her address the issue, because it’s not sustainable. It may be okay for now, not disputing that at all, but what to you may look like relative calm is much more likely her giving her

Speaking as a Google manager of a reasonably sized org, 25 direct reports is too many. Twice a year you have to do Perf for them, if nothing else, and doing that well for 25 people would likely be the only thing you get done. I think it’d b

Uh, can't I choose not to have my private images scanned? I think that's still a choice, right?

So, M1 has been out for a while now, with HN doom and gloom about not being able to put enough memory into them. Real world usage has demonstrated far less memory usage than people expected (I don't know why, maybe someone paid attenti

Yes, it depends on what you're doing, but if you can watch 21 hours of video, many people will be able to do more than 24 hours of development.

The reason the poster arrived at this is that they are valuing stock options as $0. Of course there are non-FAANG companies with liquid stock, but this seems not to enter the calculation. If you were to consider those, you'd find that

Fascinatingly, Tobinworld was originally a branch of this same school, and has since changed name/ownership to get around restrictions on the founder’s ability to operate in California.

I think Hungary beat you there. You can aim for Florida still, though.

Honestly I don't see this. I realize it's a simple narrative, and it's one that plays well with the heroic arc, but businesses are not Aesop's Fables, sat on this earth to give us a morality tale to use to guide our chil

Sounds like the machine thinks you're writing too prosaically. I'd give in and indulge its flights of fancy.

A non-trivial percentage of HN visitors also read FB. Absent FB, they likely spent more time on HN.

Nah, unauthenticated HN was working very fast. It was simply the amount of traffic HN got while FB was down. Here's a crazy idea: maybe a lot of HN people also spend time on FB during the day. When FB was down, they had more time to sp

That model works great, until you need to ask for permission to go into the office, and the way to get permission is to use internal email and ticketing systems, which are also down.

Honestly people need to step back and ask if they're out-performing the market, and if so what risks they're taking to do so. Most portfolios are up over a 52 week period right now. I keep track of three numbers: what my risk-adju

If you've seen one of these setups (the SF Bay Area has been doing this a while, so I see it a fair amount), you know that it takes a lot of goats to clear a hillside. Like in the 50 range. There are not enough deer to get the job done

I don't think college credits are the point, really. The general rule of thumb for people coming out of this school is that they feel like their first or possibly even second year of college is significantly less challenging than their

Teaching ability isn't evenly distributed, and teaching doesn't seem to scale up to even the city scale, much less national or global. I'd love for everyone to be able to take Environmental Science from Mr V, but he's on

I realize this advice may be appropriate for some people, but speaking personally as a parent who is both lucky enough and financially fortunate enough to send both of my girls to a private school, I think it's misguided for them. The

Honestly the shadiest practitioner here is Amazon. Google and Facebook are possibly second and third. I think Apple is a pretty distant one, maybe behind folks like Netflix.

Google internally has a kind of cultural belief that the company’s engineers are far more capable than most engineers in the rest of the world. It’s fairly arrogant, but some of it is founded on some real advantages around tooling and syste
