The article highlights the problem pretty well.

A lot of companies can't set up a proper audit trail or system inventory, how can we trust them with managing other people's sensitive information and infrastructure if they can't even handle their own properly?

I agree! You are coding ideas for people, but somebody needs to translate those ideas into code for them to work, and what might be planned might not be the best or most efficient course of action.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from chaos.

Oh, wait, those were regexes.

How strong is the overworking culture in America? It's pretty strong here, but not too bad.

It's a point of view. To some coding all day is a hellscape, to others managing a network, to others managing a business. I don't think we have to worry about people flocking to the countryside, especially with technology like LED grow lights which were not possible 4 years ago and other technologies which make it possible, maybe even efficient, to run a small garden in an apartment.

Check this article out, it touches on how efficient farming can be, and I think it could be applied in a smaller scale.

From what I hear it's pretty common...

>> Good luck being able to type at keyboard after 50 pushups.

While it does slow me down a tad, I can type fine.

Not military, but AFAIK the type of leadership depends on the branch. Extreme Ownership is a book written by a navy seal with some pretty solid advice on leadership.

I don't believe I agree completely. While I think that productivity can be lowered substantially while not being engaged by a problem, I do believe one can push through and solve it.

I've worked in jobs I wasn't engaged by, was able to finish university (not fun), and am starting to get bored at my current job, but I can't leave just yet due to external circumstances. I believe character is a big part of it, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm posting to hacker news during work hours.

Not surprising considering the author admits to creating malware in the first paragraph.

I suggest you read the study, that is explained under the 'Videogame Used' section. The second paragraph.

I believe it's because if a low status male is below in the hierarchy to someone they're trying to impress by being high in the hierarchy it makes them look bad.

I don't believe the point the researchers are trying to make is that low-status men could be lashing out because they're afraid women could beat them in the mating arena, but because women higher in the hierarchy could make them lose.

Yeah, but remote work is also a thing. This is why I'm planning to move to a country with a stronger currency and retire to somewhere where it's weaker. I could live a very good life with the same amount of money that would afford me an OK life in other parts of the world. Without having to fear being persecuted by LEO.

I figure it's along the same lines of being a sex worker or something like that. I would gladly be one if it weren't for the fact that I (probably) wouldn't be able to work in tech and would have to live with social stigma attached.

Same goes for cyber-crime. I want to be on the good side of cyber, and I can't do that if I'm a criminal. I also don't want to live my whole life looking over my shoulder over fear of something I did in the past. This happened to malwaretech and they're not even sure he actually committed the crime.

His other post states:

> I make $3000 a month committing cybercrime

EDIT: AFAIK a decent threat hunter or RE can earn about 3x that legally in the US.

If you decide to attempt the process in a place where you can't be guaranteed 100% pure MDMA, I suggest you look into Marquis reagents.

It's a good article for people that might be a bit socially awkward, however some of the points were difficult to understand, particularly number 4.

I believe this might be one of the reasons they let users use it for free instead of charging outright: Long-term users value the product because they got to use it for free.

$80 USD for a lifetime license on as many machines as you like doesn't seem that expensive, especially considering their market: most entry-level devs in the US earn 60K/year. Granted, there are users in other markets and countries earning less (such as myself), but taking into account it's capabilities, how customizable it is and how I haven't found any products with the same or similar capabilities that are as lightweight at it is, makes it a very impressive product that IMHO is well worth the price.

As far as who buys it, I will as soon as I get a better paying job, I've been using it for years and I can't imagine my life without it. What demographics buy it seems more like a question you would ask the ST team themselves.

That's really interesting! Now all we need to do is find a MED where we save more time sleeping than we need to invest meditating. Although that might be offset by the amount of focus we gain by meditating as it would allow us to be more efficient.

How is it like in the US? I've mostly had positive experiences in open offices (except for an annoying co-worker or two), but then again, I've never had my own office, only worked from home a few times.

I've never personally seen it as something religious, just being nice and in my country it's considered being well-mannered. That being said in my country we don't say "bless you", a literal translation to what we say would be "health".

When I visit other countries it feels weird that nobody says anything when people sneeze. But I realize that's a cultural thing and try to avoid saying "Bless you".

Music Bee is pretty good. Not sure if it's still around though, I mostly listen to music on my phone/youtube nowadays and work doesn't let me download music to my computer.

Was it called G.O.A.T. by any chance?

In all seriousness though, that's one of the reasons I dislike academia. It seems to have a propensity towards limiting people, maybe it's just been my experience so far.

What's your source on this? And what's preventing users from simply deleting the files/formatting their OS/getting a new e-mail?
