I wish the article lived up to the headline. What cultural changes have occurred? The article doesn't say.

It does say that Cook's personal style is different from Jobs (duh), that he's made some changes to the exec team (we knew that), and that there's conflicting anecdotal evidence about how employees are reacting to these changes... whatever they are.

All in all, I don't see a revolution in any of this.
I'd assume that's one of the benefits of the "3 felonies a day"[1] mindset is that if everyone has a conviction for something, it loses its stigma.

IMHO it rightfully should. Considering you can get felony sex offender (a double whammy) status for taking a leak in a dark alley, the word needs to lose all connotation that it means anything beyond "actions a bureaucrat, not necessarily a reasonable person, really doesn't like for whatever reason".

The only way the people take this country back is to start a third party. A REAL third party, somewhere between the moderate liberals and the libertarians.

Without any outside competition, it's just recycling the same type of candidates, with the same policies and with the same disregard for basic civil liberties.
It's not, its a government of people and people have varying opinions, both correct and incorrect that drive their actions.
I admit, the TSA in this case didn't do racial profiling. They skipped that step, and went straight on to "rabid racism".

That they apparently had no idea what a Hindu is doesn't make it one bit better.
I really like Tesla and want them to succeed, but they've got some weird ideas about good PR. The cost calculator that factored in the cost of pump time at your billable rate; the over-the-top posture against the NY Times reviewer who discovered that the battery heater could draw enough power to affect range; and now this, where they made up their own methodology to convert VSS into stars and found themselves to be the best. (I'm not even considering the weird stuff like Elon Musk offering publicly to consult on Boeing's batteries, although I think that points to the source.) Aren't the "best car ever made" reviews enough?
Israeli-style random questioning in all airports, conducted by highly-trained experts (not rent-a-cops), in conjunction with profiling.

What I don't get is all the companies actually setting up shop in San Francisco. If I were a tech startup, I'd actually setup shop in a nice area relative to cost of living, then attempt to draw people out.

If you can get someone already in SF out to say Boise, Denver, or Phoenix they can make 80% of what they made in SF and have a better lifestyle. If you cover the cost of moving that should make it a very attractive offer. Sell their home in SF (if they own), and buy a nicer/roomier place in the new location.

Phoenix in particular has a pretty thriving tech community, and a far better cost of living. The main reason I stay here is the job market is great, and the cost of living is far better, relative to programming pay than most other areas. Of course there is the down side (June, July and August).
Naturally. I'm just saying a few months down the road, you forget to care exactly how much that convenience is costing you.
The NSA essentially had a recruiting office on campus at the University of Kentucky. Even being Pre-Snowden, I remember everyone having a general feeling that the NSA was probably doing bad things, yet a lot of people still went to interview with them. Hell, even I did.

It seems like that for some, the idea that the NSA was spying on everything was a big draw for them to join. They also liked the prestige, money, and benefits.

I am not convinced that the NSA is facing a huge recruitment challenge. If anything it might just mean that more bad people get recruited.
It came up here, http://blog.tanyakhovanova.com/?p=319, I think.
these are generally titles meant for countries in the indian sub-continent e.g. india, pakistan, bangladesh etc. usually, paper quality, printing quality etc. takes a nose-dive. for example, i have a sedgewick book with almost translucent pages, which makes it next to impossible to read anything...
+1. At first I thought that none of these statements could even remotely be proved, but I've changed my mind. I totally buy this.

In particular, it looks like this would prove "Every sufficiently large power of 2 contains at least k zeroes", for any value of k. The computational time would probably be prohibitive, but this should definitely work in principle.

As a working analytic number theorist, I suspect the asymptotic formula is out of reach, for similar reasons to why you can't count twin primes. I'd be very pleased if someone persuaded me I'm wrong.

But, please, none of this mumbo-jumbo about "higher order Fourier analysis". Gowers et al. developed it to find progressions in arithmetic sequences, which is not related to the present problem as far as I can see.
Even the title is a mouthful.
Let's put everyone into boxes and not use our brains at all.
This poster, MichaelOChurch, is IMHO, a major divider. We are in the process of completely throwing out the last two years of his work as unusable.
As an 'architect' how much resposibility do you hold for managing people/processes or mentoring/coaching "your" team? (in addition to the techinical expert/oracle, internal consultant and facilitator roles you performed).
>Median annual earnings for key illustrators and other top-line talent increased to about $36,000 in 2019 from around $29,000 in 2015

So it would seem this article is truly about the animators responsible for the animation between keyframes. Unfortunately I can't find the article on the making of anime I had once read, but basically, the key frame artists are drawn by those truly responsible for the art style you see. The animation work between frames truly is grunt work (this is the truth, I'm sorry if you find this offensive) that is accomplishable by many.

And lets not pretend that shows with good animation are automatically a success. You need a good story, good pacing (direction), and in most cases you need to choose the story from a pile of hundreds of possibilities.

And, as is often forgotten when the whole "revenue sharing with employees" is brought up, the employee is staking no capital and can leave at any time. If the anime fails, surely you don't suggest "revenue sharing" that loss with the employees.

The vast majority of anime does fail, or only serves as an advertisement for the source. Just look at any given season of anime, the majority of anime is not well received.
We don't know the code of HN but we trust it because we can see the inputs, outputs, and trust the admins running it. A lot of people trust Google/Apple for the same reason to keep their devices secure but are aware that they might need to stay up-to-date and give up freedom [to install unverified apps] to achieve that security.
It's probably hard to fathom now but while working at Chevron in 1990 / 1991 the two smokers in my group got their own office so no one else had to share with them while they smoked at their respective desks. Thankfully they kept the door closed, but any time you had to go in there everything - the walls, the ceiling, their keyboards and monitors, their books - everything had an odiferous brown patina. It was like walking into a bar. The fact that last comparison no longer really works tells me how much the world has changed for the better.
In trying to make rational decisions, it is foolish to pretend that one's own decisions (past, present, or future) are always (or even mostly) rational, let alone other people's.

Rather, most purportedly rational or logical decisions are instead rationalized ones, and it is rational to acknowledge this.

I'm not suggesting throwing the baby out with the bathwater, just awareness that as decision makers our ability to apply logic is limited (in economic terms 'bounded').

In fact, perhaps our limited ability to reason is best imagined as a baby: full of endless potential, yet weak and fragile, easily perturbed, and requiring near constant care, attention, even vigilance.
Only in paragraph 12 (out of 16 total) does the article finally get around to describing what exactly prompted this:

Mr. Eddings and other former Gimlet employees said that Mr. Vogt and Ms. Pinnamaneni vigorously opposed efforts to unionize, which employees of color saw as the only way to create an environment where they could succeed, and that the pair were dismissive of efforts to diversify the staff. In one instance, according to Mr. Eddings, Mr. Vogt sent disparaging text messages to a Gimlet employee who was involved in the unionization effort that left the employee in tears.

"Exactly" used loosely, as the authors decided against providing their readers with any more detail, letting their imaginations fill in what "vigorously" and "disparaging" entailed.
At the bottom:

"This Is Not Real...
...it is a piece of satire, inspired by the concept of disgrace insurance, the 'blue check homes' viral art project, and the incessant push to make everything a service.

If you did believe this was real, we'd like to ask you to read the fine print next time."

But I was fooled at first, not gonna lie.
I think there's room to be charitable and that most people don't see a meaningful distinction between "sell ads based on your data" and "sell your data to people to use in ads".
I am sure Facebook's oversharing is due to a programmer error. /s
You have to trust some third-party that you believe to not be similarly compromised to do the verification for you.

Which effectively means that most people won't bother, unless a "trusted third party" is built into their machine.

But that has huge potential problems of its own.

Go for Columbia.

I went there as an undergrad and learned much about computer science, as well as how to connect with smart students, how to find mentors, advanced engineering research, and more.

And best of all, the friendships you can make at an excellent, intense, diverse school can be a lifelong treasure.
Well, your knowledge is surely lacking. To prevent immigration fraud, the rule is that when you marry a citizen, you get a temporary green card which is valid for 2 years. You must go back to USCIS after 2 years to get a permanent green card. Also, it's quite possible that USCIS will ask for proof that your marriage was legit (wedding pictures/honeymoon pictures/joint bank accounts). If you get divorced before 2 years, it becomes kind of tricky to get permanent green card. [Read http://www.shusterman.com/greencardsthroughmarriage.html, scroll to 'REMOVING CONDITIONAL RESIDENCE' section]

Also, if you get divorce after getting green card and if USCIS finds out that you married citizen only to get green card, they can revoke it.
I would do the following:

1. Send them a letter with the tracking numbers.

2. Make the customer service rep give me his direct e-mail and phone number (extension) so I can send a copy of all the tracking numbers and keep calling him back to ask for an update, every single day.

3. I'd buy a plane ticket to California and visit them in their office, face to face, with all the proof inside an envelope with me.

This is 120k we're talking about, I'd do quite a lot to get all my money. Currently I am dealing with a company that owes me 5k estimated, maybe a bit more, and they're paying me $300 a week in small amounts and it's really pissing me off. I've already moved to a new company to work with, that is reliable and have been so far, but I really hate when shit like this happens.

Best of luck to ya :)
For those who didn't see, luke said they responded in 2 1/2 hours. That's certainly a reasonable response time. If you need a faster response time than that, then you should be running 2 VPS nodes, to improve redundancy.

The response time for emails isn't great, but server outages seem to get fixed pretty quickly. Furthermore, I think you need to accept in your case, that it probably wasn't a hardware issue....

Not diversifying by geography is one of the most risky decisions possible - https://www.bridgewater.com/research-library/daily-observati... - and it is one of the biggest mistakes that most investors are making right now (it happens every time).

I think the bulk of this post is speaking to the interface segregation principle.

Also, I would not use the advice below as a _blanket rule_ as the author puts it.

> interfaces generally belong in the package that uses values of the interface type, not the package that implements those values.

It could be a good rule for many applications, but I find it difficult to swallow as a universal rule. I feel there is so many possibilities where this might not apply, for example perhaps you have a module comprised entirely of interfaces in order to decouple a layer of implementation.
That's a remote workstation, not really a server. You should keep these two separate.

Some combination of the two. IBM i has its vulnerabilities, but because of the way that the OS is built, getting code execution accidentally is extremely difficult, and even getting native code to run given full access to the system requires mucking about with the objects on disk.

However, with IBM i comes PASE, which provides a AIX-like environment that can run most software built for AIX directly, and that's going to have the same sort of vulnerabilities as any other UNIX system. As far as I know, that's mostly used for new development, though, because developers don't like learning unfamiliar platforms.
This is the best question I've ever seen on HN.

My first two thoughts are:

1. Academia

2. Government

System admin, or IT rather than coding. You might be on call more, but you'll probably have less work to do. The pay probably won't be as good though.
Go has the opposite problem. It's not getting big enough. Last I checked, they couldn't be bothered to add integer exponentiation.
> I was always surprised [AFS] (or a similar mechanism) was not available in corporate offices.

In some ways it was self-fulfilling - corporate offices didn't use it, so there wasn't a great ecosystem, so corporate offices did not use it.

There were a handful of vendors, all with drawbacks. On a large network, AFS, or particular cells or filesystems could get into a weird state. It was not like Solaris NFS where most senior sysadmins understood the filesystem error states.

You want to feel you are putting data into something safe, permanent and always accessible, and AFS never felt like that in corporate environments I was in.

I'm not so sure Musk's vision is so exciting. I think he just sees the writing on the wall and wants to become king on Mars while Earth goes down the drain. Look at all the stories surrounding Tesla employee treatment. Musk is not much different than Bezos.

Here is a fairly old documentary about 'Johnny' von Neumann:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2jiQXI6nrE

He was a myth even in his own lifetime but parts of that film hint at the man. It features interviews with many of his old colleagues, discussion of what it was like to work with him, etc.

If you just watch one bit, personally I love the anecdote that begins around here:

https://youtu.be/Y2jiQXI6nrE?t=2604

It is a story of his incredible facility for mental arithmetic that I hadn't heard before. It is arguably one of his least impressive skills but for me it illustrates so clearly the gap between him and his peers.
It's not that simple. As far as I know, corporate taxes are already flat. (If they weren't, corporations could easily split into several smaller ones to keep their profits below some threshold.)

The big issue is with "just a flat rate that everyone pays". What do you pay that rate over? Big corporations manage to pay that rate over nothing. Generally those corporate taxes are paid over profits, so corporations avoid taking profits in countries that tax them. They sit on their money, pay it out as bonuses to executives, and take their profits in tax havens.

The issue isn't the tax rate, it's the loop holes. It's that the amount that's taxed is easily manipulated. Instead of easily manipulatable profits, the tax should be levied on something less easily manipulatable. Like revenue. Of course that already happens: VAT taxes, only because you pay them on all products, they are effectively paid by consumers, not corporations.

But how about allowing corporations to deduct their local external costs from their revenue? Not easily manipulatable foreign external costs, but simply the costs made in the same market as where the revenues come from? Then you're effectively still taxing profit, but tied to the local market, cutting tax havens and internal trickery out of the picture. A company on the other side of the world selling in your country but not making any costs there; no labour, manufacturing, rent, etc; would pay tax over their entire revenue, whereas a local shop that has does have all those costs, and therefore cannot help but invest in the local economy, gets to deduct those costs and pay less taxes.

I think that could do a lot to even out the imbalance and make the playing field a lot fairer.
Possibly, but in software the realm of errors is wider and more detrimental. Imagery, the human mind will fill in the gaps and allow interpretation. Software, not so much.

It’s probably not.

"No data" is wildly incorrect. We have priors from other vaccines and vaccine candidates, and the data from these trials. All data about the first dose suggests strongly that 1 dose provides very strong protection against severe disease, and solid protection against mild disease.

Most vaccines have increased efficacy when spreading out the doses, so the same is likely true here, which means this is most likely to increase efficacy.

We don't have data on lots of things, like what if we vaccinated people in cars instead of indoors? We can't run RCTs for everything in this world.

People are also not advocating for 1 dose only, rather spreading the doses out more to get more people vaccinated faster.

1 dose first, followed by another 12 weeks later is almost certainly going to be highly effective and it's almost certainly going to be safe.

This is also not a binary decision. To let you to 10M people try this regime while watching the data has as close to "only upside" as you can get in medicine.

If the FDA approved Astrazeneca now, and the states focused on getting first doses, we could be done with this pandemic in like 45 days. It's worth taking a tiny amount of risk that this group of 10M might not have effective immunity and need to be revaccinated.
You seem to be comparing power differences and not taking into account that your battery would run out of energy in just the second attempt at lifting your mass to full height (assuming no other power inputs to the battery besides the falling mass generator).
There is no "partial immunity"--you're immune or you're not.

Is that true? (I'm not an immunologist; I genuinely have no idea.)

I'd have thought that it was all a statistics game: how many antibodies you have and how fast your white cells can respond to the threat before the virus got a foothold. In that model there is partial immunity: some people would win that race, and some wouldn't.

If I'm wrong about that I'd appreciate a better model. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for this, we were already planning to review the copywriting for a while

Wow!
I was under the impression that the draft bill currently under discussion gives the president authority to order telecommunications providers to depeer or null route private networks from the public internet, under "emergency conditions". Presumably a technologically adept adversary would be able to bypass these sorts of interruptions and would maintain some form of "shadow network" to keep their access.

I personally think that creating this capability is a bad idea for two reasons; it weakens the redundancy of the network, and it provides an attractive target for black hat hackers. Any element bent on creating problems would know that the best way to do so would be to figure out how to forge a presidential emergency shutdown order.

I don't think it is unreasonable for them to shut off access to the data after x days. What I don't agree with is the deletion after y days where x << y does not hold.

I think that that is too abstract and too small and likely to be irrelevant to his concerns. (If he cared about whatever task you're thinking of, he'd have mentioned it.)

He's given you a specific case that he thinks is a big deal. Why won't you address it?

This isn't about you. It's about him.

BTW - If he thinks that something can be done better, it doesn't matter if said thing is technical and he's not. Again, stop questioning his competence.
Why would you want to use flashdrives to transport files when you can just use the campus networks? We used DC++ when I was at uni and that worked nicely.
