Yeah as soon as she said Mz I was like oh I've seen them around.
h4t··on Tell HN: A hacker's life is in danger, your awareness may be life saving
Does protesting even do any good in a government such as Iran? Being present during a protest -- get targeted and locked up or worse (killed). It is really doing the oppressors a favor by gathering together.Rather than take it to the streets they should take it to the basement and plan out calculated attacks and disrupt the infrastructure that facilitate their rule.
h4t··on Ask HN: What was being a software developer like about 30 years ago?
speaking of Ultima www.uooutlands.com/

Been playing this recently. It is Ultima Online but with all the right choices rather than all the wrong choices post 1999 the development studio made. Anyone who enjoys Online RPGs should certainly give it a try. The graphics don't do the game justice at all but the quality of the game makes up for this and then some.

h4t··on I wrote a short story about von Neumann probes
I read this title thinking it was gonna be about chess. /facepalm I need to go to sleep.
h4t··on I was blackmailed – any YouTuber could be next (2020)
What exactly are they doing to take down the videos?
h4t··on SDF – The Ethical Social Network
I've actually spent some time on SDF, good people there, lots of neckbeards who are willing to help out any tech issue.
h4t··on Ask HN: How do you deal with getting old and feeling lost?
I feel the same. Will be looking at this thread to look at suggestions at a later date.
h4t··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2022 – Show and tell
I got something better. Trade crypto derivatives after learning elliot wave. Turn 500 into 50,000 in 3 months. Quit day job. Do it full time now. High 6 figures 10 months later.
h4t··on Keybase iOS Has a Backdoor?
The people complaining need to review a glossary before they start complaining. Maybe also becoming knowledgeable about the subject matter might help.

h4t··on Ask HN: Does anyone still use IRC?
There are so many of us "I wish XMPP were more popular" folks.
h4t··on I Sell Onions on the Internet
Boy did this article surprise me. Glad I clicked on this!
h4t··on A book to learn R and Python in parallel for Data Science
I taught myself python by converting ruby programs using ruby syntax, coding styles, libraries etc. I just used the pick-axe book as a reference and converted code examples from any interesting and/or useful/relevant python source I could get my hands on at the time. (circa 2008?) So this actually makes sense to me learning 2 languages at once as long as you understand what you are doing with them to begin with. I would not recommend it to a beginner though. Interesting though. See it through and complete it. I'll check back.
h4t··on Keybase is not softer than TOFU
I've been using keybase for quite some time now and I absolutely love it. I suggest everyone give it a seriously try and check out some of the popular public teams chats before finalizing your opinion of it. I'm glad I did.
h4t··on Fluent Terminal – Open-source, native Windows 10 tabbed terminal
Interesting. I have been using ConEmu for a very long time and every time I try something new I always end up going back to ConEmu... and I have tried many others such as Hyper, MobaXTerm, Terminus and others which names have fled the hallways of my mind. I will give this one a try. I am also going to try out cmder which I hear is built upon ConEmu.
h4t··on Startup Acquisition (Equity+Cash) Structuring
You still end up with the contract with the right to exercise the contract for the stock from the vesting date until the expiry. You can sell a contract at any time before the expiry date or you may exercise at anytime after the vesting date up until the expiry. Here is a good link for you that might be a good place to start: https://www.thebalance.com/understanding-your-employee-stock...
