His post history looks fine and readable to me.

This is very true. It's been a reality for a long time that the most successful (measured in $x rewarded) bug hunters sometimes have hundreds or even thousands of bugs submitted per year.

This way, they can capitalise on the fact that smaller security issues are much easier to find, especially if the bug hunter has expertise in the underlying framework.

Is anyone aware of the implications this will make for developers who might want to try software like this, but be under an NDA?

Currently consulting for a bank who takes their security very seriously. Would there be extra hurdles here to make sure there's no calls or requests being made using our data?

A vaccine is effective by triggering a small immune reaction within your body. They are essentially very small amounts of X virus, so that your body can trample it and build an immunity to the real thing.

In other news- now is the perfect time to invest in a MyBook. The price will plummet now, and WD will receive such a reaming from this incident that it will never happen in the future...

Hmm..

Anecdotal - In Excel I can have one cell to track my 1RM in KG, and then use a percentage of that weight on any particular workout routine.

i.e. I follow a 10 week program that I repeat (you guessed it) every 10 weeks. At the end of the 10 weeks I will update the 1RM and the entire spreadsheet of ~120 rows of exercises, stretches, and warmups will immediately update to show me the correct weights to use.

Once you get past the beginner stages of exercise (learning movements, stretches, etc) fitness routines are just numbers on a page. For that reason I'll stick to Excel.

But this seems like a useful tool for those very new to the scene.

Would like to jump on this comment to agree with you.

A buddy of mine dropped his s1000rr coming out of a right turn at a traffic light and was up for around $8k in damages... He was only going ~10mph. I envy those who can fix their bikes after dropping them for $20 when they didn't even have frame sliders etc.

"Grokking the systems design interview"

This course is incredible. It's short, and it's a course aiming to teach people how to ace their systems design interview, yet (perhaps unknowingly) teaches you almost everything foundational you might need to know about systems design and the reasons behind each choice.

Here in Australia, every company I have worked at (non-FAANG) as a Software Engineer has had a kitchen, stocked with food under a "Grab what you want, when you want it" policy.

Is it really that uncommon in the US outside of FAANG companies?

This happens with almost everything that I'm subscribed to. It's one dark pattern that I am ashamed to participate in... But the public never pushed back on it.

Some people fail to recognise the actual problem here. I, among many, live within <5 minutes from my work. Distance is never, and was never the deciding factor in my decision to work from home full time. I'm incredibly lucky my employer sees the benefits of it.

The deciding factors were - that I didn't have to leave the room for a personal call so that I didn't disturb anyone. - that I didn't need to have six seperate conversations in the morning before being able to sit down and begin my work. - that I didn't need to sacrifice portions of my lunchtime to grab a coffee with others and look like a team player. - that from home I could now show affection to my partner that I would otherwise likely be ostracised for in an office environment.

Do I seem antisocial to you? Probably. But that's how I'm wired and want to live. I have (easily) another 1 1/2 productive hours in my work day now, and that's without children or a long commute. I'm the happiest I've ever been.

When I'm feeling exceedingly social and want to connect with others, I will work that specific day from the office.

Assuming a para-terraforming model there might not be a need to cater for a planetary scale removal I suppose.

I often rejoice when a wealth discussion makes its way on to HN. Discussions are usually broad, exciting- and I find that a massive pool of intelligent engineers have some great input on topics like investing/asset management etc.

This has changed here. It is a reaction-bait article that arrives at no actual conclusion except for "You are in a better position to be wealthy if you are wealthy", and all the comments here are aware of it.

I want more of these discussions. But not like this. I expect higher quality, even from a "Learn business 101" blog.

This is a very common theme in many resumé websites, preying on people desperate for work. They won't prompt you to pay a dime, but will let you design and write up your perfect resumé for over an hour... All before charging you $x for a one-time download or losing it all.

I'm curious to know the improvements that have been made since this first showed up on HN 3 years ago?

Looks like it was already a functioning tool back then... Can anyone who uses it jump in on this?

> "I haven't lasted anywhere longer than 2 months. I contribute a lot and then quit after I feel like I'm not getting appropriate compensation."

After two months in my latest gig I was still learning names of people in the org, being onboarded to project and trying to piece together the codebase. Seems like you need to learn some lessons in humility.

Occam's razor is a principal that applies here. You are getting turned down because you are simply not an attractive enough applicant. If you want to improve your chances- you need to put more energy into what you've already mentioned.

I know some people who have put 150 hours of their time into leetcode problems alone before their interview for an entry-level position at Google.

Born and bred Australian here. In my ~10 year career I've never worked with nor worked for anyone who didn't advocate for (close to) complete code coverage.

Can I ask where you've learned this?

As a ThoughtWorker I can confirm that the IT space here is pretty heavily influenced by strong coding principals. The quality of work I do on a day-to-day basis is under high (but very open and friendly) scrutiny that I've learned to love.

Credit to him for following through with his vision, and standing his ground in his replies to all the comments in that thread. Looking back now, it's certainly evidence of a group bias and the "If the opportunity was that great, X company would be doing it by now" way of thinking.

Props are owed for bringing some true innovation to the space.

I'd love to know how this turned out. Did he eventually find a co-founder? Or did he continue in his YC application as a sole-founder?

For those that don't want to click through: There are replies in that thread such as..

- "No thanks. I'd rather sell sugared water."

- "Because bitcoin worked out so well. Have fun with that, dude."

> But mostly I am skeptical of the timeline

People should always be skeptical of timelines when it comes to Musk's ventures. He is famous for short deadlines, high expectations, and a competitive environment.

There's a TED talk somewhere out there with SpaceX's CEO where this comes up a bunch, and she plays on it very well.

It staggers me that in an age of incredible innovation and technology- we still have no idea what biologically separates a man like this from the rest of us.

I'd like to take the idyllic position of (somewhat irresponsibly) hoping that some level of genius can be fostered and created in anyone from a young age.. But when I read articles like this I feel the compulsive need to sit back in my chair and ponder just how much more primitive my mind is in comparison to a man like John's.

This is incredibly anecdotal, so please take it with a grain of salt- I have a personal history of hitting the gym 5 days a week for ~2 hours for roughly 5 years. I've probably taken every caffeine supplement known to man, ranging in caffeine levels from 50mg->550mg and loaded with many other supplements (beta-alanine, creatine). I've never sustained an injury that could be described as over-exertion (Luckily, I hear it is exceptionally common with long term gym-goers).

For comparison, an old friend (let's call him Dave) started hitting the gym with me and confessed after 6 months to starting his first cycle of steroids. He developed muscle much quicker than he expected, and so his expectations rose significantly. He sustained a major injury from attempting a bench-press that he was, in every sense, muscularly abled to do- but his tendons weren't. His wrist hasn't been the same since, and he can't bench press anymore.

Anyway- coming back to the original point.. I don't believe caffeine has any effect on someone's judgement for "Can I lift that, safely?". The result of hormone abuse might give a false sense of capability, though.

Seems like indirect sarcasm. I have been seeing more of it here on HN. Unfortunately it lowers the quality of conversations that we are capable of having on here..

I'm so agnostic concerning the concept of time itself at the end of the day. I feel that we're so busy struggling to find a way to make time travel work, that we forget that time itself isn't a mechanism of the universe, and that it's just a word we use to describe some sort of effect or bi-product that we're observing.

Here's a can of worms... Compare the concept of time travel to something like 'smell travel'. Is it really that different? We are conditioned to know what smell is because our body has a mechanism to "interpret" particles and send signals to our brain which we 'remember'... How do we know that Time is any different? Perhaps travelling back in time is a flawed concept in itself, in the same way that "travel back in hearing" or "travel back in smell" makes little sense at all because we're just describing an effect or mechanism of our biology, rather than an effect or mechanism of the universe.

I suppose it would be possible under certain assumptions- The main one being that both the past and present would need to be parts of the same system.

Take this with a grain of salt, as I'm vastly underqualified to even form an opinion on this subject.

If a hiring manager or recruiter gets back to me with a vague answer like this, I wouldn't be pursuing the position.

Plenty of recruiters in the past were happy to give me specifics... I'm unsure why you haven't had much luck.

Their filings state they grew from a 1.43B asset base in 2018 to a 1.59B asset base in 2019.

I guess it doesn't matter how much cash you're bleeding if the underlying product (the company) is increasing in value.

A missed opportunity... Seems my team spends more time complaining about Jira card load times & its interface than they do discussing the card..

Is there an article without a paywall?
