  1. When I was sixteen I was already familiar with the concept of leverage. I’m not sure if I’d have had the cajones to use it though.
  2. Yeah, my read is that the teenage hacker confronted with this ridiculous payslip sees two ways forward: accept the pay cut for the CV benefit of working with bug bounties, or get a bit better at hiding your ass and make them really pay.
  3. I hope I'm not assuming too much but I'm really hope the up and coming hacker is smart enough to know that his work was worth more than $4,000. That's 1-2% of an annual SE salary for someone with similar skillset.
  4. that means it could not be sold as fertiliser since that term is presumably regulated.
  5. Unless I misunderstand your question, isn’t the obvious answer just short-term profit?

    No investor has thus far invested something they can’t yet cash out.

  6. Page fails to load for me.
  7. She has significant links with parties of the right and far right in Europe, such as VOX, which is a major concern whatever is happening in Venuzuela.
  8. SEP is always an interesting companion to these articles about physical fundamentals. [0]

  9. There’s certainly a business case for “which nines” after the talk of n nines. You ideally want to be available when your competitor, for instance, is not.
  10. Exact same experience here.
  11. People definitely go to BH for the artists. Of course plenty just go for clout too, but other than the cult that goes almost every weekend that is a pretty new thing.

    You may be interested to learn they pay a flat fee for all bookings (not sure about residents). The booked artists are also forbidden to play anywhere else in Berlin for a period before and after (1-2 months, IIRC), and the fee is ridiculously low. Artists don’t even get many GL spots.

  12. In my personal experience for a day procedure (gastroscopy) it was fentanyl + midazolam, although on another occasion for the same procedure they added ketamine for some reason.

    In the latter case I actually remember more of the procedure - although I was completely detached and thought it lasted about a minute (it was a 10-15 min procedure). In that case I can recall having the tube removed and passing out what seems like instantly.

  13. It’s also about keeping things simple, hierarchical, and very predictable. These do not go hand in hand with the feature creep of collaborative FOSS projects, as others point out here.
  14. IIRC a common law maxim oft repeated said something like: “a judge doesn’t make a ruling because it is right, the ruling is right because the judge has ruled it.”
  15. > [for] a large number of them money is a secondary need to their main problem.

    This is true, but there is plenty of evidence in the disability sphere that it's more cost-effective to give people with disabilities money up front because they can spend it on their own needs better than government programmes.

    Think of it like a business that wants to make sure WFH is comfortable for its employees. Many companies now just give a grant up front for monitors, chairs, etc.

    If they don't do that they need someone to admin/spreadsheet what monitor is best value for the company, what chairs, and investigate perhaps all the accessibility needs that might need to become a matter of policy for the firm. Updates to employee contracts. List goes on. And at the end, people will still complain because they think the company chose the wrong chair for them.

  16. In the UK and Ireland, a distinction is generally made between public servants, who are paid by government appropriation, and civil servants, who are employed directly by government departments and the organisations they directly control and fund.
  17. Perhaps it makes the burden of proof for the accusation higher, though?
  18. Ideally, we would accept the recipients as being of “certified good character”. But the stability of this pattern shows chronic lack of basic insight into the awardees, IMO.
