Sure. I find it extremely tiring to read about how this is a slippery slope, and how this is somehow oppressive or unusual for American media.

I don't mind folks coming in and saying, "Hey, this is a change that I dislike." But a lot of the discourse here today is just outrage and finger pointing and yelling about free speech absolutism.

I think that HN's downvoting system actually makes it harder to have a reasoned discourse about topics like this, because if I disagree with the prevailing opinion in this community that Twitch is doing a bad thing, it's likely my comment gets strongly downvoted, rather than opening a line of discussion.

I don't know how to solve this. Maybe separate "I disagree" vs "Off-topic/poor quality comment" downvotes?

There's a reasonable discussion to be had about the decision Twitch made. I happen to think it's a good decision, and I'd love to be able to have that discourse in a calm way, but I don't know how to have it in something like HN where comments get swept up in voting and yelling and hostile replies.
There is a bunch of sad things in the story. But, not being FAANG engineer, there is something technical/financial in there I did not understand.

Specifically: "When I didn’t get a promotion, some of my stock grants ran out and so I effectively took a big pay cut." - I think I roughly get what it means, but not specifically. Could some insider explain this?
I've posted before, but will throw this out again.

When I'm building, I'm typically using a toolkit like vuetify or bootstrapvue. These are dozens of components - tested, documented, expanded on, and styled (using bootstrap or material design or... whatever).

The 'just to go tailwind!' I keep seeing seems to assume I want to rebuild components (and then test them) which already exist, and are designed to work together. The common refrain is "but all those sites look the same!" but... I can change colors, sizes, and... when needed, a bit more, by going in to the scss (or similar) and recompiling.

I understand the 'purge' stuff in tailwind is nice and useful (tested it firsthand) but the time/effort of rebuilding large sets of components (which are, often, by and large commodity things) is so far a hard sell for me. I was on a team last year that was in their second round of developing their own in-house UI toolkit - basically recreating most of bootstrap-react, but poorly, and with no testing or accessibility, because "bootstrap is bad". They were so far behind they thought they were ahead...

I'm just not grokking all the tailwind love. I've played with it, and yes... I guess anything that you learn and spend time with will, overtime, become 'natural' and save you time.

It's impressive tech, for sure - not trying to downplay it.
Depends on a lot of factors -- morning vs. night chronotype, how close work is to school, how close school and work are to housing, how many hours work demands, whether your landlord is insane and kicks you all out with 3 days notice right before the semester to rent to a family, etc.

I would still have worked most if not all of my summers, but never more than 5 hours a week during the semesters. My job, which I actually really liked, demanded 20, which also required another 6-10 hours commuting on top of 5-8 hours of commuting to school.

I had also worked in tech for a year before starting school, so I was a bit less worried about having experience to list. And in the end it didn't matter because I started a company and ran that for 5 years instead.

Man, I'm so sad to hear this. Miniclip was the absolute best and I've had so much fun on the site going all the way back more than 14 years where I loved playing all those flash games. I remember having a ton of fun with some of the sidescrolling shoot-'em-ups that had a surprising degree of polish

My favorite developers to come from that era was Nitrome[0]. They made so many classics like Skywire, Final Ninja and Cheese Dreams. They're still making games and have ported a large number of their Flash games to HTML5 to play on the browser. They're now making a Shovel Knight spinoff which was a pleasant surprise

I will confess: I never memorized Bayes theorem. I just imagine rectangles getting chopped into overlapping pieces, and visually derive it every time I need to use it. I've found that this actually worked better for me than trying to apply a formula, since you're less likely to forget intuitions when you're thinking through a problem.

Pictures are, by far, my favorite way to explain Bayes theorem.
For the video-averse: they're a software consultancy. They work for pre-money startups. They're compensated (say) 50/50 in cash/stock; enough cash to ensure you're committed. They build an run teams for early stage product development. The members of those teams get (via DeveloperTown, which manages the legal) early-stage startup equity in multiple companies.

Their office space is hilarious. You've probably seen it here before. If you haven't, watch just the first couple minutes of the video. Spoiler: actual houses.

NB: I used to work for Mike Cloran, at an ISP in Chicago, and he's one of my 2 favorite bosses of all time. I'm biased towards openmindedness here.
But, because they had stars, all the Star-Belly Sneetches
Would brag, “We’re the best kind of Sneetch on the beaches.”

With their snoots in the air, they would sniff and they’d snort
“We’ll have nothing to do with the Plain-Belly sort!”

And, whenever they met some, when they were out walking,
They’d hike right on past them without even talking.
I go back and forth on things like lol. It's hard to convey in writing when something should be take lightly or as a joke. Without the standard facial cues of smiling it's easy to take something the wrong way.

And in general your heuristic is correct, but the gym is an odd place. I'm pretty social, but would prefer no one talk to me while working out. I'm usually so busy watching the clock and focusing on the task at hand that I don't want to seem rude to someone by having to eventually ignore them to finish my workout.
It is designed that way. It realizes that by defining a roll to level and +5G climb as a successful recovery, and preventing the aircraft from being flown into a condition where a successful recovery is impossible.

So if you're flying right above terrain and you suddenly fly down, the airplane should accept your inputs and fly towards terrain until the moment recovery is impossible and will then engage.

This video from the Air Force shows this clearly: https://youtu.be/Wf27X73jxlE?t=144

The system allows you to fly low and fast (2300 feet above ground and 500 mph) until a +5G pull wouldn't get you off the ground, then activation.
I don't even check Facebook anymore. I use their API (until the personal version goes away with 2.0) to grab photos I'm in or friend's pictures, and push it into Flickr and S3 for backups.

Pearson obviously profits from testing, however the standardization of testing as such is not benefiting Pearson. Quite the contrary; this has significantly hurt profits.

Prior to government standardization and "No Child Left Behind" each state was self governing, but this did not mean they were unregulated. However, since they were not regulated at the federal level this resulted in each state negotiating independent smaller contracts and holding less bargaining power. Now with federal standards, many states pool together to contract companies such as Pearson to develop a single set of tests and materials to put the states in a better bargaining position. The scope and dollar value of this unified contract is more critical for the company (Pearson in this example) to capture so there is more pressure to reduce cost and insure the contract is won.

At Pearson, this has resulted in lower profits, which in turn led to cost cutting measures (layoffs, etc...).

http://www.4-traders.com/PEARSON-PLC-4000637/?type_recherche...

A look back and we see Pearson's sales capping around 2012, with a significant (~.5 billion) drop from 2012 to 2013. Even today Pearson's sales lag from where they were 6 years ago.
Sure, but in the past you would not have gotten to 'demoable product' which is a key post to pass on the road to serious funding in the hardware arena.

Disclaimer: I think this is fucking stupid.

> Unfortunately the most common users of ANY queries in practice are people trying to perform DNS reflection attacks, exploiting the unusual length of the ANY responses.

This seems like a red herring. I bet there is pure business reasoning behind this decision. ANY queries are extremely useful for testing and debugging, as mentioned, and I cannot believe for one second that it's not trivial to implement something like fail2ban for ANY requests. How hard can it be to handle denying or dropping queries that are obviously an attack? Cloudflare can't handle simple reflection attack without tanking the usefulness of the query? It makes me rethink if Cloudflare is actually as good as it says on the tin.
Fair enough. Assuming it is technically possible, I would suggest having a lower tier plan for people that don't want/need a hotspot in their car but still want all the other cam related functions. I certainly don't need another connected device in my car to stream music and movies. But I would want the camera to be able to connect out and do all that other stuff.

It does look like a nice device. Wish I had one last week when someone keyed my car. :(
tbh the adapter card really looks like a simple adaptor with an usb-c/thunderbolt plug on one side. it'll take a week or two for chinese knock-off to appear on aliexpress etc.

what i wonder is:

- can those cards be locked in place?

- can i hotplug/hot-unplug them ?
I came here to comment the same thing. Trolley problems are thought experiments to probe where different moral models (e.g. fair procedure vs. fair outcome) conflict.

I've never even heard of them being used to represent what people would actually do in the moment. Especially since such moments are often extreme circumstances that most people would (thankfully) go their entire lives without ever confronting.
Seconded - set up on a project instance last weekend in about 5 minutes, and it has been chugging along swimmingly since! And they’ve been doing it for a long time, Piwik was great even before the rebrand.
>And if that sounds hypothetical it means your kids or grand kids have no hope of living in or inheriting any property there.

95% of people don't really inherit property and many people these days are forced to move for economic reasons.

Florida being "under water" sounds apocalyptic, but as you say, the chance will "happen[] over centuries." Every storm will slowly destroy some part of the developed area and will be rebuilt somewhere else.

To put it in economic terms, what the net present value of losing Florida in 2180? Probably not all that much.
So its now innovative to get back to 2010 and re-create old ThinkPad laptop with unusable 'island' keyboard? :)
There's a lot of legal exchanges, and also a booming black market and p2p, all of them with a similar spread. And there's a lot of legal projects aiming to control crypto trading going on at the moment, but it's uncertain what'll end up as law.
Notice that avoiding that the plane disappears does not save any life. That's why people do not care so much about it, and that's why they stil disappear.

That said, good telemetry brings economical gains. Planes will stop disappearing in due time, just not by state decree, and probably because of more usfull devices than this one.
> Maybe as it comes in to land it'll be controlled by a pilot on board, but by then it's going a lot slower.

Are you sure about that? Landing from orbit consists mostly of deceleration. If you manage to skip that, it's as dangerous as a meteorite. Fuel tanks are not needed when you have sheer kinetic energy.
Could we just move medical drugs to a different system? The majority of costs there isn't even inventing it, it's getting it tested and approved. It makes no sense for wildly different industries to use the same patent system.
Instantly transferring money around the world with near zero fees is a great example.

You invented neither peanut or jelly or bread, should the pbj sandwich be patentable? The chances of you being the only source pitching RFID tech to Disney is zero. Sorry you didn't get their business. Did you pitch to any other companies? Did you expect Disney to license your patent and figure out the technical implementation themselves? Does your patent apply for non-silicone bracelets? Seems like RFID tech is and still is a legitimate business opportunity for many.. sounds like you gave up on it, why?

Pretty common sense stuff, but as they say common sense is not so common, especially among CEOs.

As for underperforming CEOs getting high pay, from personal experience I can provide anotehr data point: Ed Zander who at one point was the highest paid in the US with ~$30M. He totally fked up Motorola (among other people). In fact, sadly, this seems to be the rule rather than the exception among CEOs.
I bought Ferriss' book on a whim at an airport. I have no qualms in saying I think it's perhaps the worst waste of $20 in my life. The guy's a charlatan.
So, putting a row of pictures makes it a "copy"? That's a bit of a stretch.
the idea of finding an fbi-sponsored, 10-year old backdoor in a notoriously secure operating system installed in many government and corporate networks around the world sounded pretty boring to me, but now that there's a whole hundred dollars on the line, i'll surely be working day and night to find it!
i think mongodb fills a need that isn't covered by redis or sql -- people still need semi-relational data that can scale beyond 100M rows.

redis is a nice memcached or scalable data structures replacement. we use it as a simple rabbitmq replacement.
The other big barrier is integrating their reservation system with whatever point of sale system the restaurant is using. (Of which there are many. All with different SDKs. Most of which cost lots of money to get access to).

A reservation/waitlist system that doesn't interact with the restaurant's point of sale system is mostly pointless as you need to be able to track real time table availability.
Maybe use a core satellite approach.

The large chunk (70-80%) goes into the core-part, which consists of Exchange-traded (index) funds, such as MSCI World. If you live in the US, I would not invest everything in S&P 500, as you already have enough of US exposure living there.
Maybe 30% US, 30% Emerging Markets (MSCI emerging markets), 30% Europe, 10% something else.

Then with the satellite (20-30%), you can gamble a bit. Like investing in a startup, or in special market, (a index tracker in a special sector or in an emerging market for example).
He should have done what Zuckerberg did even without the threat. Drop out and work on it full-time.

At least, transfer to a friendlier university and take a leave of absence for as long as needed (like the Google guys).

Opportunities like this are far rarer than plentiful bachelor's (or even PhD) degrees . As an employer, I'd take him as a dropout with an impressive track record instead of any bachelor's graduate any day. In the eyes of an investor looking for great entrepreneurs, it is even clearly better to drop out in this case.
Georgia Tech, a top 5-10 Computer science school offers an online masters degree in computer science. Unfortunately there isn't an equivalent for an undergraduate program yet.
It basically means you try to model your rendering engine as close to the real world as possible. That in-turn implies that every aspect of your rendering engine is analogous to how light and real world objects really behave.
>...Do you love me”, which is a winking but still charming reference to the fact that this is a PR stunt to get us to love war machines.

Neat Easter egg. Though I'm not sure I can reconcile being both critical of and centrally involved in the same PR stunt.
I can't imagine the amount of political capital they gained from that information. By political capital I mean blackmail.
Of all the RAD offerings Telemetry is the most special.
It lets you record millions of CPU profiling events (thousands per frame) with extremely low overhead, and then shows those events in a hierarchical timeline.

For game optimization it is completely unique and literally game changing.
It will show you where your hotspots are, where your threads are starving out, which CPU core is running an event (and when it is thread-switched), where your random frame hitches are happening, how your cpu workload is being spread across your frame.
You can seamlessly zoom from seeing the scheduling/tasks for 100 consecutive frames of a game down to what was happening in a 100us slice of a single frame.

Read that, chase down all the study links therein, and come back a week after you've found out you're wrong.
Well Twitch “censors” (aka moderates their platform) all the time and Trump is not the first account on Twitch to be disabled, so certainly Twitch would argue that they are applying “the same rules for everyone.”

More broadly, I disagree with your use of the word “censor.” Trump can say whatever he wants. But it doesn’t follow that if some company doesn’t want to publish his book or stream his video that it’s censorship.

Some places don’t have moderation (parler). Other places do (Twitch). That’s fine.

You can walk into the office, but you won't get a meeting with Wyden if you aren't on the schedule. Instead, if you are a resident of the state, they'll have staff that will meet with you in a small conference room, take notes, maybe ask a few questions. These are typically fairly young intern types, so don't expect too much depth from them (in my experience, you're going to get some very naive questions if you bring up anything related to science/tech policy). They'll then tell you that you are being heard, thank you, and send you on your way. This is occasionally a useful thing to do, e.g. to bring attention to a niche issue, cause, or special interest that their office might not be aware of at all.
Can you share the more nuanced version of the interpretation
Great summary, thanks. I was really surprised that the EFF left off a crucial item:

9. Raise awareness of the practical and moral risks of mass surveillance.

My own view is that the risk of surveillance is predicated on the reliability and intent of the Watcher (in this case, the USG through the NSA). If you had a Watcher who never makes an assessment mistake, and who's intentions are always "good" (in the narrowest sense of being in your personal best interests) - who could object to such a thing? But we are faced with a world with plenty of Watcher governments who would oppress their people with this power, and already are. Citizens living under such regimes in places like China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, are people for whom the risks of mass surveillance are real, now.

Officially endorsed mass surveillance is a lost opportunity to emancipate resistance movements from the surveillance of their oppressive governments, which is a huge moral risk to us.

It's important to remind ourselves what the USG/NSA thinks they are giving up if they give up mass surveillance: they think that America needs to know everything because everything is potentially useful in assessing a threat (or an opportunity). To surveil the world (and interpret the data properly) theoretically minimizes a nation's risk of attack, and maximize it's effectiveness in virtually every field (diplomatically, economically, scientifically, etc). That's a lot to give up.
Which is why people who are serious about memory write their own allocators (or link preferred allocators with known behavior). It is an extremely common thing.

How are you going to kick a rocket falling from outer space? You don't need active thrusters (and all the extra weight that comes with it) when gravity and wind will do the job for you just as well.
There are all sorts of analogies we could use to explore this problem space, but I'd say music is an ideal one. In music, the "material" for consumption is sound and the tools for creation vary wildly, from the intuitive to the complex, but the act of creation and consumption of music is open to us at every level.

One detail that perhaps is overlooked with the popularity of Excel is that it is visual. Not just by using a GUI to control its logic, but that the results of changes are always made apparent. As an Excel beginner you might not know why something is broken, but you can figure out that something you did was wrong (logic errors can creep in, but can be minimised through breaking down concepts to contain fewer points where assumptions are encoded). Knowledge is then shared with other users in order to get Excel to perform as desired.

I'm rambling a little bit here, as I'm thinking out loud, but wouldn't an ideal starting point for a better Excel be Excel with cell types? If you think about it, a type system for Excel cells solves so many of the problems you get from trying to use Excel at scale. I could elaborate if the potential improvements are not obvious.
