#1 is buy yourself a hub, NOT a switch. Consider understanding the difference between a hub vs a switch an important part of your initial networking education. Then learn how to sniff traffic, using things like WireShark, etc. You will learn a lot by watching all the traffic go back and forth, and then reference TCP/IP illustrated to understand the gist. Set up an HTTP server on a server, and then add a new computer to the network and then watch ARP, DNS, etc work their magic.

I didn't live here during the 60s or 70s so I didn't want to talk about that time period, but I know for a fact a ton of people got very rich during the 80s and afterwards.

You're completely wrong and I don't think you live in Silicon Valley. If you do, you must have only been here for a short period of time. I've been in Silicon Valley for 30+ years and the first company I worked for, the admin assistant got so rich from her IPO shares that she quit and bought a winery in Napa. Please don't comment on things you don't know about.

False. People were getting rich in Silicon Valley for decades. I'm not sure which "boom era" you're talking about but it's been attracting talent and money since the 80s.

Unless workers can become fabulously rich because a company they joined becomes multi-billion dollars, it will never be an answer to Silicon Valley. The ability to become fabulously wealthy is the reason why Silicon Valley is currently unmatched anywhere in the world.

If pilots have a privacy problem with it, then put the onus on pilots to not forget to turn off the recording. If they forget, they should be held accountable, ie lose their piloting license. Otherwise, they can't have it both ways, saying "we need our privacy" and also "it's not our fault we forgot to save the recording!"

Have multiple cameras on every airplane and record absolutely everything so that pilots and passengers both have skin in the game. We are relying on individual phone cams to record events which is stupid. We are in an age where this kind of information is already pushed on police officers and the public in general. The amount of safety information we can get will be extremely invaluable, especially with something like a catastrophic failure like this 737 MAX failure.

This is 100% not how the stock market works. As soon as the volume increases, people will jump on the trade.

Also companies have an obligation to report once they have accumulated a certain percentage of a company.

Articles like this are not worthwhile, because there's no real definition of what "good" or "great" are, except that great is better than good.

So in that sense, someone who is good very often is "more good" than someone who is good less often. But in my own personal opinion that doesn't make them great.

Delta Dental is one of the worst dental insurance companies out there. I hope it goes bankrupt. They have cut benefits so much that most dentists I know have dropped them completely and refuse to take them. It has caused a bunch of headaches for us and for most families I know.

Criminalizing drug addiction is wrong, but letting drug addicts proliferate and live in squalor with no consequences is even worse. The pendulum has swung so far to the left, and now everyone is suffering. It really makes me wonder what these drug proliferation activists are thinking. Do they really think that seeing people lying on the sidewalks in their own feces is freedom or a good thing?

I have a 2012 Honda Fit that they will need to pry off my cold dead hands. It's my favorite car of all time, it's everything that I want from a car. Except possibly a larger gas tank.

Ahhh, so I guess this really was just a shakedown after all, like some banana republic despot. Color me stupid for thinking that the US cared about law and order and not about making money through the justice system.

Create a small program, and iterate, iterate, iterate.

I took the entire pandemic off from programming, and when I had to go back to find a job, I needed to level up quickly to be able to pass programming interviews.

I wrote a program to start downloading stock quotes, then added writing to a database, then added code to graph it with flask, etc. If you choose something you're interested in and keep expanding the scope of the project, it's the best way to learn.

And functionally, Python 3 isn't a huge difference over Python 2, especially if you're starting from scratch again. For me the biggest change is adding parentheses around my print statements. Everything else is pretty similar.

I do not believe BlackRock.

The invest in funds that purchase homes. If they make a statement saying that none of their funds is invested in funds that purchase homes, then that's a different thing. But that's not what they said. They are being purposefully duplicitous.

There must be something else going on. I can't believe Microsoft would be so stupid as to copy people's passwords. Is this a mistake of some sort? How would something like that get approved?

Piracy has been going on since the beginning of time and it has never stopped, and never will stop. It will always find a way. A little bit of piracy actually was proven to help copyright holders, so it will never go away.

Yes, I'm dropping Netflix and HBO this month and going back to piracy. They made a mistake and got too greedy and make a subscription I barely paid attention to something that got too expensive and now I will cancel.

The price hikes from both and unacceptable and I don't need to keep paying those prices. Even if they crack down on piracy, which is impossible, I'll still find a better way than paying $20/month for Netflix that I almost never watch.

Can't all the social media companies put comments through a sentiment analyzer before they post, and determine if the poster is writing something anti-social? "Get back in the kitchen" should easily be analyzable through sentiment analysis, and the poster should just get banned. Stuff like this should be low-hanging fruit in my opinion, given what AI can do these days.

What Waze needs is a proper zoom function, especially on Apple Carplay.

Waze is almost unusable in that its auto-zoom doesn't work properly, and I'm forced to switch to manual zoom, which also doesn't work when I want to see more precise directions to places that I've never been before.

Apple Maps gets this right, in that it properly zooms between long distances when I'm on the highway, and short distances when I'm on the streets. I don't know why Waze doesn't get this right and I've moved to Apple Maps entirely for new locations.

You have no idea what you're talking about, so please stop talking with such confidence.

Netflix has always paid top of the market. They haven't dropped their salaries. Period, end of sentence.

Every one of these comments so far are from people that have no idea how much Netflix pays. $600k-700k for a Senior Software Engineer at Netflix is about expected. Also keep in mind, they pay all cash, so this isn't a "Total Compensation" number. I have a friend who made over $1 million cash at Netflix per year. Their philosophy is to pay top of market for the best talent.

Your employer has the right to tell you how long you can take vacation for.

But she is lying when she says that it's convention to not take longer than 2 weeks off consecutively.

This is the dangers of a too-powerful bureaucracy.

It's obvious that having the SSN as a single point of failure is exceedingly stupid, but our government bureaucrats refuse to do anything about it. You can't even request a new SSN, it's practically impossible to get a new one even if your identity is stolen.

The only thing holding us back is red tape, which is the dumbest reason of all.

> We have no evidence to suggest that your personal information has been misused against you.

What a fucking horribly disingenuous statement. They are trying to say that nothing bad happened, but their SSN and information was stolen!! The information is going to be sold and at a later date it could be used. But they're not saying that, they're trying to say "Nothing to see here, your information wasn't misused so don't worry!" I would never trust them after giving this statement.

Ah, okay so we shouldn't bother with checking VAERS anymore. Got it.

Nothing large enough to cause a planet to split into two ever collided. Yes.

Everything was formed by the spinning of gas clouds and consolidating into planets and such. That's why the planets haven't fallen into the Sun after 14 billion years.

The idea that something collided with the Earth and created the Moon is an unscientific, absurd idea. There is a zero percent chance that a collision as described could result in the Moon maintaining an almost perfect orbit around the Earth, and the Earth maintaining a near perfect orbit around the Sun.

It's funny that YC is posting this video, because as far as I can tell, YC teaches its founders to keep most of the equity for themselves, and dole out as little equity as possible to their employees.

Back during the dotcom days, most employees, from secretaries to engineers, got extremely rich from options when the company IPOed. These days, in order to make a life-changing amount of money at a YC startup as an employee, the company needs to exit/IPO at over $5 billion in order to make about $1 million. I was at a YC company for 4.5 years as an early engineer, and I ended up with less than $100,000 from my options. I would have made 10x that had I taken a FAANG offer with considerably less work and risk.
