Wow... Great point. We used to have a callout in our top menu nav, but it's pointedly missing. I'll definitely get on that with the team.

In regards to openings: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/sof/1757631095.html is what's currently up.
Really? No one's seen this?

I'm not positive on this, but I think my comment's parent was actually referencing it.
The Apple /// is a bit misleading - the typical entry-level Apple computer in 1980 was an Apple ][+, at about half the specs (memory and CPU performance) and a cost of around $2k, with the monitor and floppy drive thrown in.
I'm assuming you are from the US (?).

I liked the Czech Republic. Cheap, good beer & most people speak good English.

Everyone I know who's been to Croatia has loved it, too.

The Netherlands is fantastic, too, and people there seem to speak better English than a lot of supposedly-native-speakers.

If you want English speaking, then Australia & New Zealand might work, or various Pacific islands.
I hope you missed a "k" after that 20-30 and 15...
Could you elaborate more on what will distinguish techstartu.ps from HN? At first glance, they seem similar.
The technical side of a business is usually the easiest (for a developer).
Any advice on how to find fairly paid freelance work?

> Cloudflare DoH in particular has open and recurring threads for shadow domain blocks or SRVFAIL they return from their service that are neither announced to users or explained. usbank is a TLD that sees a good deal of quietly planned intervention from the DoH service for some reason.

Could you provide a link or other source for this? I've never heard of this (and can't find anything via google), and I feel like it would be front page news on sites like HN if cloudflare was intentionally providing bad DNS replies.

Edit: Nevermind, I've found it - and found out you're basically trolling with that level of misrepresentation:

https://community.cloudflare.com/t/servfail-with-u-s-bank-do...

The issue was:

1. On usbank's side

2. Correctly relayed to the client by cloudflare's DNS rather than lying about the response they got

3. Corrected after cloudflare reached out to usbank to alert them of the mistake
I think there is value to reading 20 10-minute articles on the internet. I think there is a different kind of value to reading 1 200-minute book.

I like the knowledge I've gained from reading lots of articles. The problem comes up because I have to very intentionally choose to read a long book instead of defaulting to many short articles. Over time and in large enough quantity, this feels subjectively bad. Like I'm overloaded with information and lots of different perspectives, but without much of the depth, nuance, or understanding that can come from really sitting with one topic, world, story, or point of view in a deep and extended way.

I think the internet is amazing for providing the torrent of information it does. I just found that, for me, I was drawn to the bright, shiny, always-new, always-now nature of it at the expense of reading books. As I've made more of an effort to read lately, books feel like a different kind of information intake, and I like diversifying in that way.

Haha, the first thing I noticed.
I would like to see better research on this.

My immediate instinct makes me think it’s due to less cops doing cop stuff, leading to fewer arrests, leading to more people out and about.

Cops seem to be a sort of leviathan suppressing crime by being a tyrant that catches many innocents through false arrests, harassment, police shootings, etc. So if police are reforming and stop their activity the upside is that there’s a bit more justice, but downside is that oppression may result in more homicide.

I think it’s a net positive to have more social justice with maybe more homicide.

I also irrationally wonder if, like the previous drop in homicide being attributed to removal of atmospheric lead [0], maybe people are staying in their house more and there’s some soon to be discovered building material that’s making us more violent. People didn’t think lead in gasoline was that big of a deal, but I’m sure happy it’s no longer used.

>there are mental techniques, such as the memory palace, which enhance your ability to store and remember knowledge by 10x (not an exaggeration!). how did we miss that in school?

Memorizing is pretty useless for doing anything except for passing highschool tests, and it can stop you from learning for real because it replaces understanding and independent derivation with recall. Of all the people I remember passing classes, the person who understood the least I later found out had the ability to recall anything the professor wrote on the board. Clearly with that ability you would never have to learn anything to get As.

Also, the author should add the idea of capitalizing sentences to their curriculum somewhere. ;)
Ask your grocery store to fix it or go to a different store in the area. In my area Kroger run stores have everything comparable, I would imagine their subsidiaries are equally as capable.
>I get the impression that most people have taken this to be a pass fail type question in an interview and that’s where the contention is coming from

Precisely. And why not? I have my fellow developers do that ( ask trivia and label the interviewee incompetent, if he cannot answer it) , and most people who have reacted to your post have also probably seen that.

Anyway humor me and tell me how much time it would take?
Wait, that doesn't look right. Why does 100 have two children? It seems to me that 1 should get merged with 100 to end up with 101, then that should be merged with 2 to end up with 103.
I'm always amazed at how fatalist about this sort of thing Londoners are. Like losing Uber will be a massive problem for a huge portion of the population.
London has, by FAR, the best, cheapest and most efficient public transport in the entire UK.
Uber is, yeah, cheaper than a black cab but also why is it cheaper? Worse working conditions, VC-subsidised, lower standards for vetting (as we've seen here!)
It's not sustainable, and while there's obviously a market need for a cheaper app-based minicab service in London, Uber has proven repeatedly that it can't be trusted to do that.
The comment is pretty clear that the price was printed on it.

> I once had a customer complain that an item rang up higher than the MSRP printed on it.

They would have to put a sticker on top of that then.

> But on some level, we have to try to be objective as well.

That's not untrue, but it's all about marketing now. Marketing really is all there is — some people call it 'growth hacking', but in the end it's what separates the wheat from the chaff. Having knowledge or skills is all well and good, but having perceived knowledge and skills is better for all extrinsic intents and purposes, so long as you've got enough to sustain the facade.

Objectivity in self-assessment isn't a bad thing, but success nowadays is defined by what you can make others believe.

Of course, there's the other kind of success - the kind Saitama in One Punch Man enjoys - getting good at something almost by accident, just because you love doing it. If you can make a living just doing what you love, who gives a damn whether other people know of you?
They have already been replaced in fact and popularity and slowly they will be in form and power. Social media, with more fine grained approach to information is better for anyone who knows what to look for, but the problem remains the same the biggest platforms are concentrated power and power is always used against truth.
Isn't Bill Gates the biggest farmland owner in the US? I wonder how that fits with his climate story.
You seem to have the purpose of rate increases reversed. Low interest rates actually help investors more. You're able to trade on margin for cheaper, which is the real driver of large investment firms. The rate is raised when you want money to leave the system.

I think a tax system this simple would be similarly simple to audit. Or maybe you would calculate your consumption tax at the end of the year, and then it wouldn't matter who you buy from.

I believe at age 16 the government can't force you to go to school anymore. So one would just stop going to class, putting in the "butts in seats" time and never finish the required classes to graduate. I guess that's basically what dropping out means
Look, I don't want to defend or deny the many, many atrocities and crimes the US committed in the last 100 years, far from it. However, one year (or even five years) is much too short a timespan to judge whether a socialist reform is successful or not.
Many US high schools have all kinds of weird, nebulous graduation requirements. I had to come up with forty or fifty hours of volunteer work and put together a giant 3" binder of work examples, extra-curricular awards, and other garbage that I had to present to a tribunal of teachers. Complete waste of time.
Not sure about the SAT, and maybe the test has changed since I took it, but the ACT was mostly a knowledge & skills test. Math: did you pay attention through at least high school trig? Reading: how literate are you? English: how well do you understand the mechanics of SWE? Science: Can you read intentionally-shitty graphs to extract the correct information (yes, seriously, that's what it was, not anything to do with science, really) and so on.
> Applying responsibility and self-control to someone who is ignorant of even the most basic aspects of being an adult is ridiculous.

I consider this sentiment the problem. It's not ridiculous to expect adults to do some basic research, especially now that information is almost overwhelmingly available. Treating adults like helpless children or zoo animals with no power or autonomy is part of what created this societal state, in my opinion. And that's coming from someone who grew up poor, with a single parent, and no connections/mentors/role models/etc growing up, in case somebody wants to counter by saying that it was easy for me because I had xyz privilege. I just think before I act, put in the work to get informed about important things, and try to practice self-control and delayed gratification
Swords are sidearms, designed for self-defense, duels, and as last resort. They were very rarely used as main battlefield weapons between the fall of Rome and the widespread use of firearms. In general, people on foot in this period fought with some kind of polearms, from spears to dane axes to bardiches to pollaxes to pikes. Same goes for Japan, btw -- the fetishization of katanas happened after samurais stopped being soldiers and became bureaucrats. On the actual battlefield a samurai was most likely to hold a long spear or a bow.
I'm also happy to pay a site for content, but I have to point out that we all pay for both the ads and content.

When you pay directly you cut out a layer of middlemen (the ad company / broker) so I see subscription-based sites as more efficient than ad-supported ones.
On the power naps: I highly recommend the iPhone app Pzizz Energizer[1]. The website makes it sound incredibly corny (meditative new age music, voice suggestion, binaural beats) but I find it knocks me out like a light & reliably wakes me up at the end of a 22 minute power nap. It seems to become more effective the more you use it, the audio becomes a cue to enter sleep mode.

Apparently it's now free (I originally paid $10 in 2010). There is an Android app as well, but sadly it's broken on my Nexus 5 (audio cuts out after about 3 minutes) and I dearly wish the developers would fix it, because the iPhone app has been so valuable to me.

just echoing what termain said. Going back to at least the Greek Phalanx and up to even quite a while after the introduction of gunpowder, massed warfare typically involved long weapons like spears or pikes.

A reasonably good depiction is the Phalanx shown in the movie "300". The history of warfare is generally about increasing the standoff distance between two militaries. The side with longer spears generally did better, then the side with the better archers.

Even after gunpowder was introduced, the reload time was so long that after getting a shot off, armies would switch to pikes.

The "wall of men in formation" you see in the Napoleonic wars and the American Revolutionary and Civil wars was sort of the last use of that kind of traditional formation and movement. The widespread use of heavy artillery put an end to it much like the airplane put an end to trench warfare.

A few months ago, I did a statistical analysis of all the HN comments and found that the quantity of comments in increasing while the quality of comments is slightly decreasing: http://minimaxir.com/2014/10/hn-comments-about-comments/

Although, after going through your comment history, most of the comments you've been downvoted on have been downvoted for ad-hominem attacks, which is a fair response. (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8815489)
Does anyone have any insight into how Orleans handles failure? The only mentions I found in the documentation suggest that "grains cannot fail", which seems fairly odd to me. What about exceptions? Can grain state become corrupted? How does the system recover? Is there anything like Erlang's links or monitors here? Are supervisors relevant at all in this system?
I don’t care about this score whatsoever but what can sometimes happen is that you post something controversial which get downvoted to -4 and then other, completely unrelated comments start getting downvotes as well. It seems as if people are looking through your profile for your comments and go and downvote some more. It comes across a bit weird.
Both of these comments are so viscerally true. I live most of the year in a very small town (as in, no home mail service) that's also a big tourist destination. It has all the usual tension between townies, second home owners, and tourists, but the thing that really shocked me when I moved here was how there is a sort of caste system among locals with a bunch of dimensions like how long you've lived there, if you own a shop in town, if you are on a town council, etc. Living here can be strange. On one hand, some of the people are extraordinarily friendly, while on the other, I've never felt more unwelcome in a place in my entire life.

> Since nobody knows how to reliably ship secure commercial software

Secure software lies on a spectrum. We know memory unsafe languages are dangerous yet critical software is still being written in them. Liability would drastically change the domain in terms of discarding practices we've known for decades are deadends, and raise the bar significantly.
Thanks, it means a lot to know I'm not just shouting into the void sometimes.
Uber Eats was amazing in Ecuador. I could order two Bolòn for $10 delivered.
No, but losing money on every transaction (or the majority of them) certainly is. In that sense, food delivery apps smell a lot like Moviepass. Customer love was not enough to save Moviepass, though it certainly didn't help that the actions they took to turn it around burned through all that goodwill in very short order.
According to https://edd.ca.gov/Unemployment/Eligibility.htm in order to qualify for unemployment benefits in California, you must be "physically able to work, available for work, and ready and willing to accept work immediately"--obviously that can't be the case if you're incarcerated.

In the recent cycle of articles about CA unemployment fraud, it's been widely reported that inmates involved (not necessarily perpetrating, some just had their names used) in this fraud were from all around the country.
> Folks - the Central Bank is an essential pillar of governance.

Folks, I give you the cowering voice of the disrupted Industry trying to rationalize it's existence: it's pointless, we already won, time is setting everything in motion now, but ultimately your cause is lost. UBI is going to happen now and global inflation has kicked off since the pandemic, and interest rates are at near 0% if not negative in some countries.

These are the same people that outsourced so many jobs in the 80s and then automated what was left in the 2000s and drowned generations of people in debt and destroyed countless amounts of Human Capital in exchange for their arrogant and psychopathic models of command and controlled economies and they now are asking you to re-consider their exceptional role in Society, which has never been anything but corrupt.

The last to heads of the IMF are a convicted money launderer (Lagarde who still works there now) and a rapist (DSK), do I need to say more? Why do you cancel people on twitter and social media but let these people run free?

You're right to be afraid, but you are to blame for this mess now: so, pull yourself from your bootstraps like you told the rest of us to do when we couldn't make rent to debt based economies and an ever inflating currency which wasted some of the best years of our lives living in fear due to a precarious economy and worse environmental conditions created at behest of these central banks.

I'd like to see you guys do doordash during a pandemic, if that is what it takes as humility and empathy was never a possibility before for you. Hoipefully you deliver to an essential worker and see first hand what actual work looks like as you haven't done it in some time, if it all.
If this company is what you thought was such a good idea to back it with billions of capital, so fucking absurd, so go and try and be useful to Society and go work for them!

Downvote away, I seriously don't care about your fake internet points, they honestly mean nothing to me.

From the OP's quoting of Facebook:

>"Your ad content violates Facebook Ad Guidelines. Ads are not allowed to promote the sale or use of adult products or services, including toys, videos, publications, live shows or sexual enhancement products."

>"From the dawn of humanity, to Ancient Egypt, to the glory that was Rome; everybody loves a burlesque show! Join San Francisco's world-famous Hubba Hubba Revue for an epic night of tassels & tease, thousands of years in the making!"

It's an adult live show, a burlesque. Facebook policy rules it out and it's very cut-and-dried.

The only reason this appears to be here is an attempt at viral marketing.

13+ social media site won't advertise 18+ (or 21+ presumably if it's USA based on drinking laws) live show for adults with softcore sexual content.

I think even if Twitter made it easier to tag posts as political, the problem remains that so many people feel like their political views belong everywhere, and will actively try and break into other discussions to interject with politics. Like the Expensify guy who thought it was appropriate to email customers and tell them who to vote for. To me it comes back to the trend that people who support a cause treat it as if it has to be a top priority for everyone, and if you don't prioritize the cause in the same way you are actively working against it.

And I think this probably is a byproduct of the "attention economy" where there has been an arms race for mindshare (I'd like to find a way to put that better but hopefully it's clear)
ThreadSanitizer can also only catch bugs that can occur in the code paths that are exercised – and running a fuzzer can certainly show the presence of bugs, but I'd be wary if someone claimed it can show the absence of them.
