Turning down $3000 requires people to internalize a solid commitment to the company. And engenders a huge sense of camaraderie when you know that everybody else you work with has also turned down the money.

And they get these two massive effects by NOT giving away money. It's worth the $3000 to get rid of employees who aren't that committed, but that's minor compared to the effects on the employees who stay.
When I lived in Dublin I cycled to commute. Never had any issues real issues except for oblivious people pulling out in front of me or similar. YMMV I suppose.

Hm, yes, must just be one large coincidence that this "integration" happened.
They didn't study whether the reactive antibodies were protective, just whether they were there.

The thing the study establishes is that most adults have antibodies that will react to some parts of the pandemic virus. And then that's it. They didn't establish whether it was protective or not or anything like that.
Twitter is like twitter because there is not much besides comments hosted on it. More or less Twitter is nothing but comments.

Youtube comments are a minor feature relative to the major content of videos and streams. They are easier to change via moderation...and there's not a major loss if authors turn them off or heavily screen them.

In addition, Twitter comments are viral via retweets. Youtube comments are unlinked. There's no on-platform network effect to spread "censorship!" outrage. It's all local.
I hear you, but remember this is pandemic-enforced WFH, it's not normal.

Non-pandemic remote work gives you more time to socialize out and about with friends and family, travel (and maybe even work there), and do all sorts of fun things to relax and recharge that we can't really do right now because of the pandemic.

I'm pro-WFH/anti-RTO simply because I want us all to have the choice. Before the pandemic it was all office, during the pandemic it's all remote, and now it feels like the pendulum is swinging all the way back to all office, instead of landing in the middle ground of individual choice.
The writing part is what NixOS does (with Nixlang rather than SQL).
> Being able to AVX512 your L1 cached data for a memcpy will always be superior to passing data to the GPU.

The two last apps I worked on have been GPU-only. The CPU process starts running and launches GPU work, and that's it, the GPU does all the work until the process exits.

There is no need to "pass data to the GPU" because data is never on CPU memory, so there is nothing to pass from there. All network and file I/O goes directly to the GPU.

Once all your software runs on the GPU, passing data to the CPU for some small task doesn't make much sense either.
yep, that's the one. Thanks for the response
I'm a recruiter and have worked at a few startups. My wife is looking for a new role and recently had an interview where they sent her questions and asked her to record answers and send them back. This blew my mind. What a horrible experience.

For me, the interview is absolutely 2 ways. I spend just as much time answering questions and talking about our team as I do asking questions. There are times where I walk away wishing I had done a better job, but you always HAVE to care about candidate experience.
Penis jokes and people wonder why women don't feel comfortable in the tech industry.
That's not a great example. The driver of the Hellcat clearly didn't know how to drive.

Doesn't matter. Neither of them will take a Nissan GTR.

Yep. It would probably be easier if you write it in a quick readme.md on github and post the link to that, as it's hard to read with greyed text.
> In the middle ages multiplication was a skill that was taught at universities. Somehow we now teach it to 7 year olds.

I think that this is [citation needed] category.

Actually in both ways, my kids were not taught multiplication as 7 years old. At that age, they were still doing additions in school.
I lived in Austria for half a year and never saw this being enforced. In fact, I was awoken daily by 2-cycle dirt bikes echoing through the streets. Austrians never seemed the type to follow laws all that well and I doubt they're enforced as much as you think they are. There's a general disdain for anything authoritarian there (for good reason).
Speaking of military expenses. One would think spending fraction of military budget towards vaccine research would protect our country better.

Alas, building machines of destruction seems to the prerogative.
The pull-quote used for the HN title is because the psychiatrist wrote "extra drink", where "extra" refers to drinking beyond ~2 drinks per day, as in:

> Without doing any extrapolation or guesswork at all, just looking at the observed data, we find that men who have two drinks/day more than the limit (ie 4 drinks a day instead of just 2)

It's an opinion from a psychiatrist, with pointers to the literature. (I can't tell if they are cherry-picked or if the opinion is widely-held; I don't have the expertise either way.)

It starts with a J-shaped curve which shows that having 1-2 drinks results in lower morbidity than having no drinks.

It then points to the 2016 publication at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26997174/ which adjusts for "abstainer biases and quality-related study characteristics" and finds "no significant reduction in mortality risk was observed for low-volume drinkers (RR = 0.97, 95% CI [0.88, 1.07]). Analyses of higher-quality bias-free studies also failed to find reduced mortality risk for low-volume alcohol drinkers. Risk estimates for occasional drinkers were similar to those for low- and medium-volume drinkers."

That is, the range 1.3-24.9 g ethanol per day didn't seem to affect things. 1 standard drink in the US is 14 g of ethanol, so that's about 2 drinks per day.
Oh interesting. Can they get them with a different engine? Like an add-on when buying your car. Maybe like a sport mode?
How much can we attribute to the financialization of capitalism? I think it's the driving force. Some historical societies have recognized paying interest on capital at every level of the value stack creates an anti-competitive costs of production. Maybe they just didn't like creditors.
> How can you cut 10% of the workforce in Huntsville when the representative sits on the Armed Services committee? (I don't know that, but just for example...)

Close. Alabama Senator Shelby is the Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations and the Chairman of its Defense Subcommittee.

Edit: My apologies. Was the chairman. See nobody's comment below.
This is a thread on that part of the world. It’s insane that you would insinuate antisemitism because someone made a relevant comment about the region.
The point is that if every project is just for the votes and friends then essentially you are going to ignore the engineering and other parts. I'd argue further that it's the same for business projects as well, just that you do it for the stocks and friends.
no, it can’t. congress could try but it would be quickly challenged and ultimately found unconstitutional. states are the canonical units of government by design. an amendment might work in limited ways, but that’s also a much harder road (e.g., equal rights act).
The magic of Wikipedia is that anyone can... oh no, no we didn't mean you.
It's a stupidly niche job with low pay. Go work on Kubernetes.
I haven't looked at what your yaml is looking like, but I encourage you to consider having sensible defaults for most resource types (including their existence), and provide a way for Devs to go off the rails if they need to. Sensible defaults can get simpler use cases 95-100% of the way there, relieving the burden for app Devs to have good understanding of everything that is going on under the hood.
There is a lot more discussion on the same email that was posted to the opensuse-project list: https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/project@lists.opens...
The whole subject of this thread is someone going 93 in a 55. I guarantee 93 is not some kind of everyman median speed on that road. This is actually a pretty good example where someone was doing something unsafe and big bad spooky regulation stopped them.
>>no, investors need no additional incentive to invest.

That is not true. Greater incentives translates to more investment, and more investment is socially beneficial.

>>it's the same fallacious argument used to keep progressive taxes at bay (oh noes, the rich people will leave america for... ???).

There is nothing fallacious about this argument. Disincentives to investment lead to less investment. Less investment means less gains in productivity and wages, which also means less taxable income that can support the mandatorily funded safety net leftists support.

>>certainly it means more political opposition in the form of money, but not in votes, which is the more pertinent metric.

Historically, measures that threaten major special interests are difficult to pass due to the opposition they face. Ignoring that is putting ideology ahead of pragmatic results.
The Donbas isn't really the main target for Russia, since that is already essentially ruled by separatist pro-Russian forces for years. The prize is the area west of there and to the south, connecting Crimea by land and freeing up the water resources that have been blocked.

Admittedly I'm not a historian like the Twitter guy with the bad analogies, but I suspect the furthest west that Russia seeks to control is Kherson (not Odessa), then following the water going back NE of there to Zaporizhzhia & then all the way up towards Kharkiv in some fashion. This gives Russia a ton of natural[1] and industrial resources, plus significantly weakens Ukraine, without having to try and occupy the more populated and less Russian areas west of there towards Kyiv and further. Putin will likely try to sell this as necessary to provide a buffer zone for the heavily Russian Donbas region from Ukrainian shelling.

That being said, I'm just some turd on the internet so I'm probably wrong and nobody knows for sure what Putin's long term plan is.

We corrected this, and I think it's a lot more clear now. Thanks for mentioning!
>>Does it make sense to always optimize for nothing but maximum ROI for each plot of land?

No, but we can have special provisions for public goods like parks. Outside of properties that generate these kinds of public goods, the revenue a property generates is generally a proxy for social good it does. For example, a condo building with 150 residential units and 10 commercial units on the ground floor will do more social good than a parking lot, and that is easily revealed by how much more revenue it generates.
I buy every piece of software that I find I love and use almost everyday. For me this has become JetBrains and Atlassian products. I love their stuff.

In response to the post topic, I don't use Sublime. It's really good, definitely prefer a real native application over Atom. I do wish it was open source and the author still sold it. I hate using software where there's a sole author and if he gets hit by a bus, it's up in the air what happens next.

I use PyCharm and Vi in my workflow. I've always found I use two editors. One more focused on my programming at hand, and another for general files to reference, notes and so forth.

So when I remote into a server, it's Vi again. I like PyCharm because it has a Vi mode and everything just works. If you're using Python at least, it's a top tier environment to work in.
This in turn means you do away with the means testing system. No more forms to fill out; no more mandatory courses that do nothing but line the pockets of the course provider.

But then how do you buy votes to get elected? Decreasing government power and discretion is never a good idea, because it makes it harder to reward your lobbyists and donors.

Bill wrote the book "The Road Ahead" in the 90s. It heavily references an Information Superhighway and widespread PDA use (aka the modern Internet and smartphones).

I think the truth will eventually come out. I HOPE that those claiming sufficient fraud to effect the election are dead wrong. The alternative would be a nightmare. That's why the media and big tech shouldn't have buried their head in the sand.

"Every single case got struck down by judges" is not a new argument to my ears. Do you think most of those judges heard actual evidence, or were throwing cases out on procedural grounds? Have you considered that question?

I think 90% of all these concerns are likely to be dismisable. But they haven't even been examined, and I have a deep and abiding fear of the remaining 10% actually having merit.
I mean, Facebook just suspended Trump, so it seems like we are doing something, we’re just arguing about where the lines should be. I don’t think it’s wrong to note that revolutionary ideas both good and bad come from the fringes and that some consequential positive influences might be deplatformed in the future. This is one of the few times in history the “good guys” have had the power to control the narrative. We should acknowledge that.
All Signal clients have a search feature. Its about as easy to use as any other search tool. You can have end to end encryption on messaging and still have a client-side search feature.
I used to be of the opinion that Nintendo should just get out of the hardware market and just sell Mario/Zelda/etc... on XBox/PS. While I wouldn't mind if they did that, the switch has me completely convinced they should never get out of hardware.
Come up with a clear path to $ within X years and you could be the next buyer of Boston Dynamics too. I want the cool robot company to be worth more than the online game company too but revenue is what drives these things.

I'm sure BD could make more money if they exclusively signed military contracts. But I'm sure that's not what a lot of people here would want either.
Provide evidence please. Give me a example of where Trump called for violence
These people can personally borrow large amounts at such low interest that it’s effectively cash (if not 0% altogether) because a bank will value its relationship to these people that high (because they’re probably also the corporate bank for these companies).

I also think you’re extremely underestimating just how big these companies are. Jeff is liquidating ~1 billion a year just to fund his space company. Zuckerberg sold $280 million in 1 month in 2020 for walking around money.

No they can’t liquidate their entire position. They do have effectively almost unlimited financial reserves through multiple different channels. Said another way, they have $10s of billions in buying power even if they can’t access that entire wealth instantly as cash.
Next-day correction: during the 2016 election, I voted in a different city (about an hour's drive away, but in the same state) from the city that I voted in 2020. I was attending college in the city where I currently live and vote, but at the time I was still registered to vote in my hometown.
This is the same playbook amazon did - give investors a vision, convince them short term profit are less important than the eventual goal. Get the capital at a really really low cost, and then use these capital to build hard things, and crush competition.
I do not mean to trivialize this, but five people dying is nothing in US. Hell, we just had 4k people die today of covid alone. It is an issue, even a serious issue and it is being handled by appropriate agencies ( as it should ), but by overblowing this people will only make it worse. So why not let system work? That is what it is there for.

edit:

"to call that a "quintessential act of American patriotism" is open advocacy for violence, and I don't think I can ethically participate in a forum which permits such a terrible thing."

Correct me if I am misreading this, but you are making this an ethical issue the same way your opponent does. Note that the comment you replied to appears to view his position the same way. He, apparently, sees it as not only ethical, but a mandatory subset of being an American; a virtue.

May I suggest that all of us participate freely in this exchange of ideas. You are free not to the same way he is free to. Ethics have little to do with this.
I mean, I don't think there's anything particularly sinister here?

The released the code they wrote for compatibility with other people's file systems, and a filesystem Apple developed in the 80s. They didn't release the code for their own, proprietary (and non-ancient) filesystems. It would be nice if they did, but you can see why they didn't.
Anyone know how this compares to the cost that Boeing would have paid for doing the 737 "the right way" - with real pilot training along with more testing and regulation? This fine is only a small part of the cost to the company of course.
BoA has had some anti-consumer habits in the past which caused me to burn almost all bridges with them. They were among the banks who would process all charges and deposits in a day starting with the largest charge and ending with the largest deposit. This let them ding you for many more insufficient balance fees (each small charge once you were below a $0 balance got you a new $25 or $50 fee; this hit a colleague and some acquaintances, I don't let my balances get that low). They also liked to tuck away account policy changes, like minimum balances, into the fine print. I had one account with them (wanted a physical bank and had moved everything else online) with the minimum $1500 balance to avoid any fees, they changed it to $1600 or 1750 and started hitting me with $25/month fees (reimbursed) because I'd failed to notice that policy change in the documents they'd sent. And the main reason, today, to avoid them is that their interest rates are terrible. Their CD rates are often below checking account rates at other banks (last checked in early 2020, not sure what their current rates are but a 10+ year history of horrible rates probably didn't change this year).
Now, if can only get the similar teeth to address online privacy violations.

“Some of you might want to do things the Pure Windows Way. That’s very gutsy of you, and this is what you have to do: run out and get Unix immediately!”

I do wonder how much of this is applicable to Rust though.
> The language was developed by a team in Microsoft Research, not by a product team. If a product team thought there was a good product strategy for the language, they would have taken it over.

Luke Hoban's F# product team in Redmond develop F# with the research team in Cambridge UK continuing to evolve it.

> Some of the reasons given for F# are not a direct customer benefit. Example: show that CLR can support languages other than C#.

F# was not the second language after C# to run on the CLR.

> Given the question here on HN, it's not obvious to some people why Microsoft invested so much in the language.

The investment is tiny for Microsoft and has already paid off by drawing people into the Windows platform who then buy Visual Studio 2010 in order to use F#.
With the Federal Reserve pumping so much liquidity, and with real estate not sucking up all of the money in the world, its only natural that other investment areas that have any chance of an upside are going to get more investment. There are a lot of hedge funds who bet on the housing bubble collapse who've got put their AIG payoffs to work.

In other words, what's going on in the valley IS a bubble. If its caused by irrationality, its the irrationality in Washington DC.
> Since pure functional languages are easier to parallelize.

Purely functional programs have a lot of problems with parallelism. If you want to parallelize your F# code effectively, you write Cilk-style code with heavy use of mutation and not Haskell-style code with purely functional data structures.

I'm not much of a gamer, so I haven't played any of the Thief games, but based on my understanding, it sounds like Assassin's Creed, which has been successful enough to get a sequel, at least. I can think of at least one other, Perfect Dark, but I am sure there are more.
every community needs some kind of interaction, otherwise it's not a community.
EDIT: can't seem to reply to post below. Here is a second go. A community requires more than shared interests or being gathered together. E.g. people working for the same company are not usually thought of as a community, people living in the same street (in the UK) often can be. A forum or mailing list never can be, people might refer to it as such but that is as desperate as referring to other Facebook users as your "friends".
