There must be some geolocation going on - the Japanese Google.com and Google.co.jp are not giving out hotline #s from NYC. Is there someone in Japan who could test this?

Of course, it makes sense, since the hotline numbers would probably not work outside the country.
HN also has a much stronger focus on entrepreneurship (understandably so).

The level of technical competence on HN is very high, and there's way less noise, so if you're a technically competent person with a business side (or if you're just interested in the business side), HN has a plethora of good for you.

As you note, the level of technical competence in the subreddits and threads that pertain to technical matters is higher on Reddit. Articles and discussions about just about any facet of any field that requires long-studied domain knowledge will have at least one commenter that really knows their stuff and wants to help people understand it.

This does come with the problem that someone who is just crafty with words can create detailed troll paragraphs that laymen can't easily distinguish from legitimate information (and this does happen, and is arguable inevitable once a discussion community grows to contain some ill-defined number of members), but that is a problem endemic to language itself, and it seems like at some level you have to assume that people know how to critically analyze what is told to them and be able to make a fair guess at legitimacy, and know to defer to well-sourced data (in addition to being able to identify good sources....)

The problem with groupthink and immaturity on Reddit is something that occurs in almost every large(r) online community I can think of (/. anyone?), and has many causes, not the least of which is that it's comprised primarily of young, idealistic, nerdy people -- and we all know that it's much easier to be loud and passionate and blunt-to-a-fault when you haven't gotten past whatever developmental phase it is where you get over yourself a bit and stop being so reactionary. In addition, you have group psychology and a large percentage of users that aren't the most socially well-off folk. In addition, a bunch of other stuff.

In short, it seems to me that Reddit is more a force for "good" than not. There are "bad" things, and the community can be swayed and manipulated like any other -- but they're largely more aware of that than other groups, and seem to be more willing to actually listen to well-reasoned arguments than others.

They also have the benefit of becoming a very popular site at a point in time where the internet seems to be becoming a major player in social and political action, but that's a different can of worms.
I doubt that it is an American ideology - it seems to be something pretty much everybody does.
Back in the day (around the turn of the century) I worked for a startup building a web application using Common Lisp. We used a framework called IMHO, which was developed in-house by a couple of the lead developers. IMHO seems to have been deprecated, per http://www.cliki.net/IMHO and the source code is nowhere to be found. I am still in touch with the authors, so maybe I can encourage them to make it more available.

Using Lisp for a web dev platform was pretty nice. I was a support engineer in those days and I always found it useful to be able to pull up a console and inspect the actual running sessions to debug problems in production.
Enjoy doing it. For me this means trying ConTeXt at the moment and with great pleasure.
He is 1 step away from saying that the government should be telling people what education to take, and what jobs they'll fill. (Remember Gattaca?)

Some industries (not all!) have a shortage of workers. This has -always- been the case. Each generation feels a different pull when they are children, and so has different goals for later in life. We even encourage children to pick a career in Elementary school! By the time they are out of college, the job market has had 15 years of changes. It's no wonder that the jobs available and the skills that people trained for aren't a match.

Is there a solution for this problem, other than the government ordering people around? Not that I see. I think the system is working as well as it can while not encroaching on people's freedom.

1 final note: It's a LOT easier to find people for jobs if you offer better salary. Nobody ever mentions that when they're complaining that they can't find people to hire. Instead, they blame the 'market' or the 'government' and keep their offered salaries low.
Australia is in the west?
I'd say its the Guardian being responsible. The idea is to hold government to account, not risk people on the ground.
Of course, as well as not being covered by insurance, they aren't required to stay alive and in good health. How's that working for heart surgery?
This is great for PFS, but still doesn't try to provide any protection from traffic analysis. Defeating traffic analysis in a mobile client environment with minimal trust on servers, while retaining PFS, and supporting multi-party chat, is the hard problem.
Is this a landing page to see how much interest there is, or is there something in advanced development?
This is probably the finest example I have ever seen. http://www.ourodyssey.us/index.html

Of course, not everyone even wants something that fancy, there are a lot of more utilitarian designs that are done quite well too.
Why would they have a host with PHP installed on the same server where money is handled?! Totally irresponsible.

I'm being serious. Unless you have Facebook's resources (and probably not even then) DO NOT USE PHP FOR ANYTHING THAT REQUIRES SECURITY! If you are, start a migration process today. Whatever you think it'll cost, it'll be worth it.

If you cannot decide from the billions of choices out there, go with Go. It's hardly perfect, but way better and simple.
>The Pantheon stands for a millennium, but 30-year-old concrete crumbling?

It took the wealth of a civilization to produce the Pantheon. We could make more durable buildings if we used stone, too, but do you really want to pay $10m for a house?
Good luck with that... At the very least, probe into waterproofing that pan. You can't afford to fail this, because someone will place it in their dishwasher or soak the handle, and word of mouth will rinse off any early adopter enthusiasm when news of broken pans hit cooking forums. Your pan would then be about as easy to sell as a grown dog with a "moody, dirty, bites" sign around its neck.
As depicted in the chart in the article, 8k resolution only makes sense for displays that are very large or very close. 8k is where we stop increasing resolution and start increasing field of view, which is going to require some UI changes: games and movies will be about the only thing that should take up the full screen, popup notifications in the corner of the screen might not even catch the eye if you're working in a window on the other side of the screen, and eye/head tracking might become really useful.
Is that i3 and surf?
The keys are honestly terrible in that they wear down quickly. The plastic is soft, which feels nice, but eventually rubs or scrapes away way faster than the harder plastic in older keyboards.

That aside, the low-travel feel is fantastic and it's worth the trade-off.
From [1]:

I have said "No" but being a Pakistani girl there's nothing I can do. I was even forced to marry that guy who is 15 years older than me. And I would say goodbye to everything but I have to wait for the right time. I'm being mean though, I need my family right now to support me until I finish my school. And then it will be up to me. I know I sound selfish but it's nothing compared to what they've done to me and my life

A company that does not micro-manage and trusts its employees to do the right thing. Anything else is secondary.
That's quite a tour of programming languages! Would you mind commenting on what you did with them?
A lot depends on the military and police. They have the ability to enforce the law or constitution. Or they can just stand aside and let things happen, like a peaceful revolution. You can't be a dictator from a prison cell after all.
Question for the pros: In doing some data engineering work, I found that creating temporary tables and dropping them after the run was much more performant and memory-efficient than using CTEs. No other change was made to the queries in the CTE, just putting them in a separate CREATE TABLE AS... script before the part that needed the calculations.

Why is this the case? Shouldn't CTEs be more efficient?
Banning these apps was rational, much more so than TikTok.

Financial services have always been protected industries, in every country, combined with the close association with BoC and political oversight it's a huge red flag.

Importantly, it's worth noting that Trump has no idea what these apps are or what they do, this is not 'his initiative' clearly, it's from the team.

The Dems and Republicans are mostly in sync on China.

These bans are of a different kind that TikTok.

Biden may use the opportunity to try to 'reset' and the rhetoric will be softer, but I suggest these bans will remain in place.

This isn't really Trump populism, this is 'the apparatus' engaging in actual policy.

I feel like maybe the title means "improve privacy" and "improve web experiance" as a mixed list. As in, each item will be one, not both. It's a very strange list/mix up, and in my opinion a poor article.

Grammarly would be awful for privacy. As would LastPass and EverNote.
It could actually work in their favor. Tag the old admin with being unreasonable, but still get some, albeit minor, concession.
careful: there's a difference to point out here - Visas are for entering/exiting the country and are the stamps on the passport. Then you can stay as long as you have your residence permit.

Example:

#when you enter the country you get
DS2019: 1yr #residence permit
Visa: 1yr # from when you enter the country
until you leave the country:
if your contract get renewed (DS2019++)
else illegal

the visa in your passport is worth nothing when inside the US. the fact that the two are confused might be very misleading.
True, however the title was likely chosen by the NY Times editors -- you'd be surprised at how much editorial whim goes into the choice of how to title an article, and how much bias is reflected in the titles.

Also, that the title clearly reads like "They found enough evidence to put Assange behind bars" rather than what actually happens suggests that the AP is either biased against Assange or simply engaging in the worst sort of tabloid journalism.
My first instinct while reading your last sentence is "oh no, now we're going to get spammed by crappy recruiters". Then it occurred to me that if a tech recruiter is actively participating in Hacker News they are probably at least a step above the crowd.
Yes, but we'd much rather kill ourselves than give someone else the satisfaction of killing us. My diet and inactivity is likely to take five good years off my lifespan? Meh. There's a tiny chance I might end up in a violent struggle for survival someday and somebody might get the better of me? Jesus, what an awful thought! Pass me the nachos and a Coke while I sit on the couch watching this video on handgun tactics.

As a thought experiment, can you imagine if diabetes was an unstoppable dude who came to your house and beat your ass in front of your wife and kids? I can think of people I know who would suddenly be a lot more afraid of diabetes than they are now.

Neither of those were "US domestic air travelers"; both boarded U.S.-bound international flights in Europe.
I can not understand what problem this library solves ? Why to write SQL in Clojure and translate it back to SQL ?

Examples on website are quite simplistic. They are far away from real life SQL queries that usually bigger and more complex (not select and join couple of tables). What about "group by", joining 5 or 8 tables etc.? How you are supposed to prototype and test your queries on existing schema (there are many good graphical clients for many RDBMSes)? There are many questions remaining unanswered.

At least Clojre-QL do not try to fit a square peg into round hole like Hibernate. Personally I liked Hibernate for some period, until I sat down and learned to use SQL.
That seems implausible. Slavery is no longer the overt separation between the areas. Democrats in Atlanta agree with Democrats in Portland far more than they agree with Republicans in rural Georgia. There's no basis for a civil war. Revolution is the closest we'd get, but neither side has anywhere near enough power to suppress the entirety of the other.

Plus, when the shit hits the fan, the reasonable among us seem to suddenly conclude maybe we don't really care to fight about this. Yesterday is a classic example. These folks at the capitol like to think they were going to start the war and everyone else would join in. What really happens, of course, is that they find out how limited their numbers are, and that regular people will simply direct the police to squash the insurrection.
I don't disagree, however... human beings can be lazy, short-sighted or take short-cuts. I wouldn't put it past someone to keep something where it shouldn't be, intentionally or by accident.
Tesla's electronic platform is at least a generation ahead of big auto makers. Confirmed from my friends at Shanghai auto. Other good things are the software platform, direct sale channel.

And in the end, Tesla has Elon Musk.
As far as I know, NYT will not report information from sources where they cannot establish some kind of authenticity. If you don't believe it, try reporting a completely anonymous tip to them and see how far you get. I will bet you they come back asking you provide some kind of further evidence to establish your identity or at least that your knowledge is authoritative.
I voted for Signal however i am wondering how signal is any different. My concern mainly rises from the "fact" that "If You're Not Paying For It, You Become The Product"

Is it positive for Bitcoin if Ethereum proves that POS is way way superior? And if people actually start using Ether as a currency in shops, start using it with many dapps etc.? What if something much better than that comes up? Are you absolutely sure Bitcoin survives in the long-term?

Please be more careful before posting in the future.

Interestingly, to me at least, I read the quote, and remembered the text with a split infinitive. To check that I was right, I googled the text of the amendment, which google helpfully displayed above the search results. Seeing that I was right, I copied and pasted the text from google into the comment box here. What I did not do was read the whole text that google provided, only the relevant clause. If I had read the whole thing I would have realized it was a paraphrase rather than the actual text. I offer my humblest and deepest possible apologies to the OP, and to you.

However, I probably won't be much more careful when posting in the future. I try to keep my statements of fact on HN accurate by checking at least some source. In the end that's as far as I'm going to go.
Which is why we're discussing denying them education, rather than merely not educating them. Denying or obstructing their education is pretty darn evil.
You're comparing to the one tiny part of the US that pays programmers more than almost anywhere in the world. If you applied for the same position in different cities across the US, you'd also not be offered the same salary you get in California.
We use a three prong attack that has really boosted our code quality:

1. Automated unit tests AND behavior driven tests (outside-in testing)

2. Having the code checked by another developer by doing a code review or pair programming

3. Week of hardening where the code is tested by the project manager/business analyst/QA person

I really think that helps to cover all bases. Clients sometimes think it's overkill but it's much easier to fix a bug the earlier it's caught.
Nevertheless there is this useful notion of addition for ordinal numbers, as well as multiplication, exponentiation and so on. And so the 'omega + 1' notation is common.

It is an ambiguous notation though -- you need to know whether it's ordinal arithmetic, or cardinal arithmetic, being used. Usually it's clear from context; and of course the two coincide on the plain old natural numbers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_arithmetic for anyone interested in investigating further.

One interesting fact is that while ordinal arithmetic can satisfy a lot of the properties you'd expect, it's not commutative in general: omega+1 > 1+omega = omega.

As for whether or not ordinals have the right to be considered 'magnitudes' in a sense, or whether only cardinals deserve that name. I think this stuff already strays so far from the realms of normal human intuition about magnitude that this would be more just an argument over definitions than anything else.
No previous experience in programming? Wow!
Good point. For this, I would recommend Purchasing Power Parity. See the map here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purchasing_power_parity

The "2003" map may not be the freshest, but it gives a rough estimate. Relative to US:

* Canada, Australia have 90%
* Africa typically ranges from 20% to 30%. South africa is much better, often 40%.
* Most of Asia is 20%, sometimes lower
* Poland is 50%
* UK, Germany, France are around 100%
* Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway...) are 120% (!). Japan should be around 120% too.
The community is upset because of your fly-by-night moderation tatics. Clearly, Prof. Clark is a valuable and respected member of the community. If you felt what he was saying was inappropriate, you best recourse would have been to reply to his comment, or perhaps even send him an e-mail. Simply deleting his comments gives the impression (whether warranted or not) of high-handedness.

What I don't understand is your response to all this. All you needed to do was apologize and promise not to delete any more comments. Prof. Clark would likely have been appeased and the whole brouhaha would've petered out before you could say Peter Clark (sorry, couldn't resist!). Instead, your continued insistence on doing what _you consider right_ raises the very real concern that you might, in the future, abuse your moderator powers in more serious matters.

This is not about being "born".
I personally don't care how somebody got his skill. I really care about three things:

1. the speed with he/she learns new skills/knowledge/points.
2. the depth of knowledge he/she is able to acquire.
3. how much he/she has learned in his/her career.

1. This first measure is important, because in a startup the situation can change drastically and you have to have a team that can adapt.
2. The deeper he/she can dig the broader is the set of problems they can solve.
3. The third measure also plays a large role, because while you can have some body that is really bright and has "the skills" - but if they don't use them over time efficiently enough, their strength in the first two skills won't carry them far.

i.e. personally I would measure the value of a developer has a product of the three factors - they amplify each other.
Humble suggestion: the author should watch George Carlin's skit on "soft language"[1] and reflect.

A mature individual can contribute to a company he or she didn't start and still feel a sense of responsibility and ownership without being coddled by language that pretends employees aren't employees, teams have no leaders, and everybody is equally responsible for the success or failure of the business.

Frankly, I would probably avoid a company run by a founder who appears to have hang-ups about being an employer and seems reluctant to accept the responsibilities and rewards of leadership. This is about as appealing as going for a ride in a car without a driver.

Is there still a shortage in the US?

Here in Germany (we need surgical masks or (K)N95/FFP2 masks to go to the store or for public transport) they have been available easily for a while. Prices for Made in Germany ones were (and are) high, but getting Chinese-made masks shipped from EU or German warehouses was easy, and now one of our discounters (Lidl) started selling them for 0.88€ ($1.07) per piece.

I bought 20 FFP2 and 50 surgical masks in a pack from a German medical equipment importer for 25€ ($30).
