I thought that is what google search was used for, checking my spelling now my grammar.
sarcasmatwork··on Tell HN: Twitter switched temporarily to rate limited mode
"following temporary limits"

So there is a targeted attack on twitter?

Long term, it would kill Twitter which is the opposite of what Elon has said before about being the town square.

Time will tell.

sarcasmatwork··on Who’s fact-checking Wikipedia editors who distort, misinform?
It has been known for awhile that Wikipedia is not a trusted source.

Interesting someone is putting the spotlight on it and it's problems.

sarcasmatwork··on Ask HN: Best way to convert PDFs to other file formats?

You can convert various types of ebooks.

sarcasmatwork··on Ask HN: My boss keeps changing projects and teams for me
>My boss is constantly changing things for me, projects, teams, stack of technology.

What does that even mean?

Maybe he does not realize what he is doing.

Take some notes, write down some examples and have a conversation with him about what is bothering you.

Sounds like he does not know what he is doing or spread thin and not realizing he is pulling you in multiple ways.

Good luck!

sarcasmatwork··on Earn Automatically Using Twitter
cryptocurrency? If it's not BTC, then no thanks.

It feels like what Brave browser does, but I may be way off here.

sarcasmatwork··on Ask HN: As a CTO/VPE would you use 'Uber for professional software teams?'
Who's IP/Copyright is it if I come to you and you do the work or part of the project? Mine or supergile?

How are you protecting IP/trade secrets?

$12,800/mo for just prototyping? How do I know you're working not just wasting time? Is there a weekly meeting or something to give customer they are getting their money's worth?

Interesting idea... I've got many projects I want to create, I'm just not a dev. I do everything else tho. :)

This author wants to blame an object, not society or the person. This is the type of garbage that wont help the problem.

I can do the same analysis they did with knifes, or hands and feet and its not going to be the objects fault, but the person that used the object.

It's NOT the guns, its the mentally ill person, the person on drugs, the person that was known to the FBI/LEO and the huge lack of current enforcement on existing laws.

The 18 yr old kid, Timothy George Simpkins that shot 3 people at his school was bailed out. What message does that give top people?

Not to beat a dead horse but there is Hunter Biden doing crack and has illegal guns. Why are the laws not enforced equally? Why is he not in jail right now?

If current gun laws don't work, why do people think more will work when the existing are ignored?

sarcasmatwork··on Ask HN: Is Satellite Internet Viable for Remote Dev Work?
Rural satellite internet is slow and they will throttle your bandwidth when you go over. It would not be enjoyable or reliable imho. However, your results with an ISP may be better.

You may want to look into doing a cellular hotspot, or starlink if available.

sarcasmatwork··on Ask HN: Losing my job soon, what would you do?
Sending applications and not hearing back does not mean the job market is bad. Maybe it's your application, resume, experience or the timing etc.

Does any of the listing of jobs here look good for you?

It took 4 months for a fortune 100 company to get back to me to say the job was no longer available. I was already working for them in another job.

Good luck.

sarcasmatwork··on US IRS to hire 30k staff over two years as it deploys $80B in new funding
>Good. This should come with the caveat that they are going after ultra-high net worth individuals.

If people work hard and make alot of money you want them targeted? Wow! If only I could waste billions of our taxes without accountability.

Those ultra rich hire people, and have lot's of write off's and know the system. Tax code is difficult on purpose.

There is a history of IRS targeting certain groups, while ignoring the others. If you think they wont target people that are helpless and can't fight you've got to wake up.

Not too long ago: "Internal Revenue Service says it gave extra scrutiny to organizations with the names "Tea Party" or "Patriot" seeking tax-exempt status.

No criminal charges were ever filed against IRS officials.

sarcasmatwork··on Ask HN: Signal with Backups?

sarcasmatwork··on Ask HN: What Should I Do?
>I have not been paid in any way. Instead, they would give me an equity in June 2023.

Is that in writing? Signed any contracts, operating agreements etc?

>expected to receive investment until December, but that did not happen.

Do you know why? Do you have a working MVP?

> They call the company valuation $2.5m. How can a company with a turnover of $0. have a valuation of $2.5m?

Exactly, another red flag. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/business-valuation.asp

If you have skills, and have nothing in contract to keep you there, walk away, find a new job that pays etc. Good luck.

sarcasmatwork··on Tell HN: Robocallers are now pretending to be live humans
I wonder if any of the robocall/spam apps block this behavior?

Been using hiya for years..

sarcasmatwork··on Ask HN: Feeling Hopeless and Lost at 23
> I really want to go back to school and learn things the traditional way because it feels too overwhelming.

You want to waste more time and money on education that wont help? You have real world experience at Shopify. You're also very young and can really do anything you want.

Find someone that lives how you want to live, and talk to them and learn.

Why do you want masters? What is the point? The education system is archaic.

sarcasmatwork··on Firearms channels embrace Rumble as YouTube starts censoring videos
>At the intersection between the right to bear arms, and the right to not be shot at school or the mosque or the gay nightclub, which right should win?

Don't blame the object for the bad person behind it.

My rights supersede your feelings. You know those places you list are almost ALWAYS gun free zones right? Why not change the law, so anyone can carry concealed?

Bad people will always be out there, will always be armed.

Guy in TX church took out a shooter, could have been alot worse.

sarcasmatwork··on Launched my fist start up website Sign up for closed beta
Who are you and why should I use your service? Why should I trust you?

I don't need answers to these questions as I will not use your service, but I'm sure others will ask the same questions.

I'm seeing a "500 Internal Server Error."

sarcasmatwork··on Why Are Tech Companies Laying Off So Many Workers?
Look at what was just passed months ago, the Chips Act, now ask why companies like Intel get to keep the billions they were given.

Two article may shed some light.

sarcasmatwork··on Ask HN: Going back to college part-time for CS after taking another path in life
>(people my age, 23, already have masters in very respected fields).

Don't compare yourself to others. Its never a good idea.

Please get out of the mind set that you must go to college for this. You don't need to take out huge loans and be stuck in a class for a cs degree.

You can learn the skills for free and with your time.

Pick a project and start learning how to make it happen.

sarcasmatwork··on Twitter files part 2: James Baker just got canned by Elon Musk
Former FBI lawyer under Comey was suppressing info for FBI involvement to new CEO, Elon.

Same guy that blocked the hunter biden laptop in 2020 & lawyer behind the debunked Steele Dossier.

You don't see an issue with this corrupt ex-FBI lawyer?

sarcasmatwork··on Ask HN: What do you use to backup email?
That really depends on the mail server/client.

For Outlook, you can easily backup the pst file.

Mailinabox, you can backup the entire folder structure.

Gmail still lets you download an archive.

There is always an option to print to pdf, and save each pdf offline.

China controls the Bidens, not the GOP. You have your parties mixed up.

Learn to code... Python, bash for Linux, Or Powershell on Windows side for example.

sarcasmatwork··on Survey puts Windows 11 adoption at just 15% worldwide

Corps are almost forced to use the latest Windows, while home users, small biz don't always want or need to use that latest Windows OS.
