you need to maintain a presence in the country you hire. this is not free and different countries have different requirements. you may avoid visas but at minimum you pay taxes and need to discover and set policies to follow local laws and regulations. this impacts more than finance, a lot of eu countries have specific on-call rules for example
> I have some coworkers who I used to be able to just walk next door and talk to. Now I ping them on Teams and they might not respond for hours.

I've found that team members who did that were actually interrupting those coworkers. It takes time to digest questions and comments. Now those coworkers have an opportunity to respond with a fully reasoned discussion instead of being obligated, by a verbal conversation, to respond immediately without fully thinking.

...unless they just don't monitor their work communication channels when they should be available to that. But that's a different kind of problem.
It’s hard to imagine any very prestigious prize that people would not constantly criticize as unfair.
This reminds me of the 4 types of people I have worked with:

right wrong
+-------------+--------------+
nice | ideal | teachable |
+-------------+--------------+
jerk | tolerable | unacceptable |
+-------------+--------------+

You better be right or nice, preferably both. Nobody should put up with jerks who are wrong.

correct, those works as flag with 'accept passenger in these direction' meaning. also note that if you change those values while you are at a floor, you need to go to that floor again for passenger to notice.

Yup, Netscape 4.08 and IE 5.01 definitely ran on Win 3.11. However, almost nothing from the current web will display through these, alas.
My impression is that they don't care too much about individuals evading the firewall. It's a tool for broad social control, which doesn't need to be airtight to accomplish its goals. As long as it's inconvenient to browse to blocked sites, it redirects conversational topics to safer areas, and a small number of individuals bypassing it doesn't affect that too much.

But what you describe are basically namespaces. All the rest of OO is overkill. Recipe for success: take a simple language with only functions (like Lisp or C) and add namespaces. Result: this language can do 90 % of what OO languages are useful for, with only 10 % of the features.
That's not a case for OOP, is's a case for interfaces and encapsulation. Both were already widespread when OOP was created.

Not really.

SmartOS is an "operating system". The way it designed to decoupled may give the illusion of Docker alternative, but it certainly doesn't serve the main purpose of docker which is to only prepackaged dependencies/environment, not the whole machine.

Its the same on how LXC/KVM/Jails is not docker alternative.
I think you're close -- its a critical mass issue in communities. There are countless networks to handle borrowing (some already mentioned) neighborrow, neighborgoods, peerby, nextdoor...the list goes on. There are also tool libraries in communities across the country and don't forget timebanks whose forums/email lists often turn to I'll borrow x for a time dollar.

Effectiveness is constrained by network adoption/critical mass -- Lyft isn't useful unless there are enough people to have someone available to pick you up when you need them.

>I'm not sure any sort of app or website can replace that level of trust and sharing.
Apps/websites don't replace the trust and sharing, they increase the effectiveness of your local relationships. In a lot of cases, living in the same area carries an amount of trust and sharing. Trusting relationships are actually built upon a certain level of risk that is taken at some point -- you trust your neighbor a lot more after you ask them to keep your key and an eye on your home while you're away for a weekend. So its sort of a chicken and egg question. Is there a lack in trust in local communities because neighbors/community members don't interact, therefore peer-to-peer tools will increase trust? Or will these types of networks not succeed because there isn't enough trust?
> How many false positives do you know of who didn't produce anything?

Well, none. We haven't had any false positives since I started (and this is my first full-time job).

Depending on how quickly you catch the mistake, I would stand by my statement or call it an exaggeration. If they're still in training when you catch it, they've probably produced nothing. If it takes longer than that, then they've probably produced something (although if they're contributing enough bugs, it is entirely possible for them to have negative net productivity). But even at best, they're producing less than their salary (why else are you firing them?), so you've lost something.

> This, I feel, is highly dependent on company and codebase.

No arguments here.

> I would like to know what the issues are for a smaller company

From a US perspective, most of the cost is lawyers. It is very easy to say something wrong and end up with a wrongful termination suit, so you end up being very careful, which is expensive in both money and time.

> It seems like the employers and managers here speak of the difficulty in actually getting rid of people, while most of the individual contributors I know are worried about losing their jobs at the drop of a hat.

My experience is that people are worried about being laid off, not fired. Maybe I'm out of the loop, in which case I don't really have an answer to this one.

> if your company is also one of those that complains about how hard it is to find "qualified" people

We're not. We're pretty happy with our current growth rate (recently it's a bit high, if anything).

Maybe this reverses if you're having trouble finding as many people as you want to hire. I would understand accepting more false positives if that's your situation.
Yea, the &nbsp; and 1px transparent png's are your best friend in that world.

Single dose is enough to cause problems. I had only two doses through the IV when I had kidney stones. I have read of people having mild tendon problems after a single dose of levaquin/cipro that lasted years and would flare up.
Yes. This is the key. It is difficult to hire when you are given the two constraints that the person must have high skills, and accept a relatively low wage.

I see it as a matrix with two axes.

Salary: High/Low

Skills and Training: High specific skills/Low skills and require training after being hired

This creates four different quadrants.

1) When companies say they are having difficultly hiring, what they really mean is they are having difficulty hiring someone with specific high skills at a relatively low salary.

2) If the company is willing to pay a much higher salary, then the company will not have a problem finding someone.

3) If the company is willing to hire someone with less skill, and train them on the job, then the company will not have a problem finding someone.

4) If the company does both, pays a relatively high wage, and is willing to take someone with less skill, and train them on the job, then the company will not have a problem finding someone.
I always cover my hands and make it as hard as possible to detect my PIN even when there's no one around for this reason. Skimmers are already small enough that they can be fitted inside the machine, completely invisible from the outside. Cameras could be concealed in any number of places.

Marching is the first necessary step to get people organized. It is the lowest bar for starting to organize and to participate. It is where people can drum up support, awareness and donations.
> If you have, say, a 10-drive wide RAID6 you would need to source drives from 5 manufacturers/batches/models in order to be resilient to that kind of failure. Even if that was feasible that seems horrible to maintain long-term.

If anything, it's easier to maintain, as all you need to ensure on replacing a drive is to not unintentionally make the array have too many of one type of drive. In practice, it means you just regularly cycle what model you buy for your spares instead of the often totally counter-productive practice of making extra effort to find a supply of the exact same model.

In effect, most places I've done this, it has simply translated into refilling our spares from the currently most cost-effective model or two, and cycling manufacturers, instead of continuing to buy the same model.

The point is not to religiously prevent any kind of potentially unfortunate mixing, because these errors are fairly rare, but to reduce a very real chance using very simple means.

Over the 20+ years I've been doing this, I've seen at least 4-5 cases where homogenous raid arrays have been a major liability (the first one, that taught me to avoid this was the infamous IBM Death Star, where the film on the platters was almost totally scraped off; we had an array that we thankfully didn't lose data from, thanks to backups and careful management once the drives started failing once a week - only for it to take the array 4-5 days to rebuild... we didn't lose data, but we lost a lot of time babysitting that system and working around our dependency on it as a precaution).

I started mixing manufacturers after having had near-misses with several arrays with OCZ drives, where it appears to have been firmware problems across drive models.

> Doing a red/blue setup where your red systems use one type of drive and your blue systems use another type of drive seems like it could be reasonably accomplished.

You need multiple systems too, but the point is that every hour a system is down because of an easily avoidable problem is an hour where your system has reduced resilience and capacity. It's trivial to prevent these kinds of errors from taking down a raid array, so it's pretty pointless not to.
YC China was for funding companies in China. Worrying about IP theft in that context doesn't make sense unless you think YC has significant IP of its own.
>Go achieved the second-best performance at 140,000 requests per second. This number wasn’t far off from the top performer, which clocked in at 167,000 requests per second.

I wonder what the top performer was... I bet it was C.

If you're doing just binary to string conversion there's no need for a features-language like Java or Node. C probably would've been a better option.
The debate is absolutely about property rights--the fact that the State of California doesn't have any basis to prevent him from putting a gate on his own property: https://scholarship.law.berkeley.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?art....

California courts have already held in this case that there is no "public trust" access to the beach, due to the peculiarities of land titles that originated in Mexico before Californian statehood.

A California court of appeals has now held that the State's other hook, the idea that the property was "dedicated to public use" is also baseless. That's what this article is about: https://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions/nonpub/A154022.PDF

> That said, we have been tasked here with reviewing a trial court’s application of the common law of public dedication, which is the sole legal basis for Friends’ remaining claims in this case.

> We have endeavored faithfully to follow the prior holdings of our Supreme Court and fellow appellate courts in applying common law of public dedication principles here. However, we have not attempted to extend the public dedication doctrine beyond the common law parameters previously recognized by court decisions in this state. As strong as the coastal access policies of our state are, we do not understand them to empower us to do so.

There is no "rightful public access" to this property.
Gah! I really wish the HN submission feature could borrow some ideas from Stack Overflow's duplicate question detection.

Thanks for the well-worded response. The idea of white privilege isn't what offends me, and I don't argue with the fact that being who I am opens a lot of doors. What offended me was the implication of racism a general characteristic. I strive to treat everyone equally, and when someone assumes I'm racist because I'm white, that is seen to me as an injustice (hence the overly-sarcastic response I wrote and then deleted). That's the danger with generalizations. There may be prevailing problem within a people group, but making generalized statements is really disheartening to those who are trying to be different. Additionally, it doesn't encourage the perpetrators to change; it just gives them an identity and makes them feel that they have a whole race just like them.
I wonder what the process is for paying back the Nominal. Surely Pound Sterlings in 1720 had an entirely different value than today (as has pretty much every other currency, in case Pounds was not the currency for this particular debt).
It is likely based on public research that the NSA can break 1024-bit RSA, but this has not showed up in the documents either.

It would be expensive though. This is one reason why I consider 1024-bit end entity certificates much less of a threat than 1024-bit CA roots.

The ZEROBYTES padding is a source of confusion and bugs, including in bindings. Having to allocate more bytes than the unsealed message in crypto_sign_open() was also the root cause of quite a few unfortunate bugs.

And even when used properly, people always ended up writing wrappers allocating temporary buffers and moving data around in order to add/trim these bytes.

And when people start writing wrappers, it usually means that there is something wrong with the API.

For this reason, libsodium fully supports the crypto_box and crypto_secretbox in a compatible way, but doesn't document them in favor of the "easy" interface, which basically does what everybody was reinventing when writing wrappers for these functions.

How to generate nonces for each operation is described in the libsodium documentation. There are legitimate cases for having full control over the nonce, such as the dnscurve and dnscrypt protocols.

Some bindings such as the Swift bindings (Swift-Sodium) have the box() operation generate and return a nonce in addition to the ciphertext. Less flexible than leaving the responsibility to the developer, but definitely safer, and something that might be added to the library itself. On the other hand, adding more and more functions to do the same thing (because breaking backward compatibility is not an option) isn't good either.
Neck- I fully agree. In a dress shirt it's very noticeable. Bald with a pencil neck looks pretty bad- bald with a thick neck is jacked.
It's pretty clear the chief intended on showing the writer how well-adjusted he wasn't, but to do so he has to completely ignore the fact that protesters were not just being heard, but shutting down major highways and disrupting people's efforts to enter the mall, this after many protesters doing similar things elsewhere had been violent and criminal. Sure, if you ignore that then yeah, the writer is a total dope.
Have you found any other authors like the early Gibson? I would say Snow Crash is similar. Other than that I've found cyberpunk a dead end.

Also, Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler are slightly similar, but much less intense.
To answer your questions:
Chinese government obviously bothers and is very concerned, for many cultural and historical reasons that cannot be easily summarized.

> Ideally you want your editor to capture the user's intent directly through the semantics of their actions. (Signal is lost reconstructing that in a diffing tool).

I'm trying to understand this part. Would you give an example of semantic diff losing intent signal?
I dont think it is nearly enough. Mostly because of my experience with how people who fancy "facts and logic", but dont know much else end up arguing.

The knowledge itself matters. The ability to see when is the statement subtly exaggerating what facts say, so that one can use it in manipulative "logical" claim matters great deal. The ability to understand nuance matters a lot too. So does the ability to deal with bad actors in discussion, to understand motivations of whoever wrote this or that document matters.

There's some data on "Eurostat"[1]. It gets quite complicated, depending on whether you consider full-time, part-time employees, the self-employed, family workers, sick time, maternity leave etc.

But yes, it seems to hover around 40 hours for most countries. Strangely even for France, where this is bordering on the illegal... Found an old page where the Brits are complaining that they're working more than the average, don't know how they filtered the results to get to that conclusion. The Swiss do seem to live up to their industrious stereotype, though...

Never heard about a 35+ pay hike in Germany, though. Considering that there's no minimum hourly wage and most people are paid fixed salaries anyway, this wouldn't even get you very much. Sounds more like a result of collective bargaining than a federal law.
