I consider myself a fairly educated fence-squatter on this topic but I think it's too early to tell and any assessment is highly confounded by our central bank's actions. That said, I have talked with SF restaurateurs and they're very concerned (but this, too, is confounded by the "SF Employee Mandate" and by the effect of the tradewar on China's funding of US trade tourism (group reservations at SF restaurants are trending way down))...
Workers need better protection from the government to make any management union busting costly.

About me: My work is focused on data analysis, data science, and business intelligence. Most of
my deliverables have been in the form of interactive visualization of my analysis but I do
everything in the ETL to analysis to visualization pipeline. If you have needs related to those
types of roles, please email me. I'm open to project based (full or part time), contract, and full
time direct positions.
This kind of stuff is everywhere. It's very common with celebrities (Chris Brown being a shining example), and you see it a lot on HN with companies that are raising the bar of expectation, like Tesla.

The key similarities between the two fan bases are that they all want to be a part of something with other people, whether it's being a female fan that follows an artist with a history of abuse against women, or being a fan of a company that offers cheap perks in favour of treating employees like humans with basic needs outside of a ping pong table.

The other similarity, and it's a very cynical one that you may or may not agree with, is that many people simply don't care if it doesn't affect them - which is funny in the age of the "cancel culture".
Straight from HP. Many people don't know it but the HP Business outlet has really good quality hardware (Laptops, Desktops, Workstations and Options) for a really good price. You can browse the list of available hardware and prices here - https://h41183.www4.hp.com/pps-offers.php - it's updated daily and if you keep an eye you will find what you need one day or the other.

If I knew the price of everything I buy would be 1%-2% lower next quarter, it wouldn't affect my spending behavior at all. I have, in fact, known gasoline was dropping by a lot more than that for the past two quarters, and I've not put off even casual consumption. Marginal deflation isn't enough to change my spending habits, and my mortgage and utilities are pretty fixed.

You are saying that XML hybrid document stuff doesn't work in "real" browsers? Do IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera not count as "real"?

how are they able to guarantee an exchange rate? aren't they exposing themselves to the huge fluctuations in bitcoin price (though the price seems to have stabilized recently)? for instance, there were some days this month where the price fluctuated by more than 40%. somehow the price and volume must work out where this is a calculated risk to cultivate the broader bitcoin ecosystem. would love to see some numbers if anyone has any ...

There already is a program to bring in exceptional programmers - the H1-B visa program. The 100,000 people it is bringing in a year is not enough? There are more exceptional programmers out there?
That's actually pretty important: it means that == and != are commutative. Imagine the "wat" if that wasn't the case either. And hey, it's JS, it could've been.
No, that was a problem only with the original Pascal as designed by Niklaus Wirth for teaching purposes.

None of the Pascal dialects that extended it with features for professional programming suffered from it.
> and eventually someone will have the idea.

Having read the HipHop paper, I am pretty sure that most people would not have been able to contribute meaningfully to that type of revolutionary project. Execution is everything.
an excellent suggestion, also possibly a bidding process... but I'm sure none of the US tech companies will champion this option because there is already room to do this unofficially within the current program... 50,000+ yearly visas gives a lot of overhead above just seeking "truly exceptional" talent.
Ouch, I feel your pain.

I had multiple bouts of bronchitis and pneumonia and sinus infections and probably a cold or two and sometimes at the same time. Those were definitely diagnosed and treated as they came, but I had an underlying cough that would not go away. Everyone blamed the cough on lingering effects of the bronchitis and blamed the runny nose on the sinus infections and general breathing problems on the fact that I had just had (insert infection here)...so everyone treated that and just gave me way too much narcotic cough syrup so I can sleep at night.

What it really was was that I had all of those, but they weren't as severe or as lingering as everyone thought it was as the runny nose was primarily from allergies and cough from asthma that I thought I had "grown out" of years ago. Mind you, some of the drugs to treat the symptoms were still the same, but everyone was so focused on the obvious and on the past (that I had had asthma and it was successfully treated with primarily Advair) that nobody thought to realize that maybe, just maybe, it was back and triggered by something and that all these issues were also overblown as a result, and the same drugs wouldn't necessarily work this time around. Someone at some point suspected the right thing, but Advair used to work for me, and it didn't work this time around, and more than one had put me on prednisone at some point or another and that should have done something but it didn't make a big difference either, so that came and went off the list a couple times. On the flip side, they weren't so cavalier about antibiotics, as I kept on getting switched to new ones as the old one would either stop working or wasn't effective after a few days.

So with a fresh slate and with not making assumptions based on even as-recent-as-a-week-ago past, my House thought the infections were related (had enough antibiotics and more to mask the symptoms, but probably not gone altogether) and that my asthma was probably back and bothering me at the same time since if he ignored all the symptoms clearly and only associated with my infections, it was exactly asthma, rather than shoehorning that into "oh it's because of the bronchitis" cause that's what happens to "most people". In the end, one month of Levaquin seemed to work to obliterate my then-sinus infection, and the rest of it disappeared into thin air when I started a combination of Symbicort, predisone, Xyzal and Astepro. Unfortunately I doubt that would work well for you as half that are steroids :S

Soooo...I know when I had the sinus infections from hell, my neti pot was my best friend (every hour, if I could get away with it...), but I don't have any suggestions beyond that :( My story is more of a "people made assumptions and they were wrong about something so obvious" than a rare/hard to diagnose one.
Is your target market developers? Unfortunately, I don't have a helpful solution; I just wanted to say that developers are probably one of the worst possible markets to use email to attract. I think I'm like a lot of developers in that if it isn't already in my spam folder, if I quickly scan the sender and subject and neither completely jumps off the screen at me as something I need to read, I trash it.
Hey all,

I work at Facebook, but this is not an official media statement.

This doesn't appear to be a Facebook bug that leaks anyone's private email address. It appears that all the examples indexed in Google exist in Google because they were already published publicly on other Internet sites. We're committing a fix right now to stop indexing this page in Google, but even that wouldn't prevent email addresses from being published because it appears that users are already republishing their addresses in other non-Facebook venues.

For example, if you see http://www.facebook.com/o.php?k=afc4a7&u=1018862530&... in isolation, it appears to be divulging private information.

However, the original Facebook email that links to that page and contains the user's email address was republished publicly on a mailing list archive by the owner of the email address: http://games.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/Living_Greyhawk/mess...

Does anyone see an example where this is not the case that constitutes a privacy leak?

Blake Ross
Yeah, that's unportable. Although I'm not aware of any system where it
doesn't work.

For the record, regarding 0 in pointer context the C standard has this to say:

An integral constant expression with the value 0, or such an
expression cast to type void * , is called a null pointer constant. If
a null pointer constant is assigned to or compared for equality to a
pointer, the constant is converted to a pointer of that type. Such a
pointer, called a null pointer, is guaranteed to compare unequal to a
pointer to any object or function.

-- C89/C90 section 3.2.2.3 Pointers

The standard then goes on to say that NULL is a macro that's
guaranteed to expand to a null pointer constant.
Here is why I would never personally work for an SEO company: (Obviously just my opinion, with all the bias that carries)

Search engines are very interesting, technologically. Optimizing a search engine would be extremely interesting. Optimizing websites to keep up with the changes of somebody else's business (the search engine) is not interesting.

You're playing catch-up. You essentially attempting to reverse engineer interesting problems, and applying methods to take advantage of the internals of those algorithms for your customers.

In 1999 you would have been wildly successful telling people they could put a ton of keywords on their website, using the same font color as their site background color to boost ranking without affecting user-visible content. That worked, for a while. Then it didn't. The technology to "optimize" content for search engines have changed, but the concepts are still the same. You're trying to game the system, and I personally don't find that interesting nor rewarding.
Typically at a top-20 MBA school roughly 5-10% of graduates start businesses.

LBS run an entrepreneurship summer school which concentrates on the entrepreneurship parts of their MBA program. Over the last 9 years they've had 350 graduates, and produced 90 businesses. Of those 90, 80 are still operational.
You are in an ideal position. A co-founder, business plan, or investor will distract you from finishing your project or will interfere with your vision. Finish the product and release it. Once you start making revenue look into building a formal business.

tl;dr First you build a product, then you build a business.
Yes of course, but he can't take 364 days to learn to program.
I don't think I've warmed to SEO, necessarily. I just realize that unless the good guys start using the black magic, then the victory belongs only to the spammers.

Wait, I wonder if the spammers think of themselves as good guys too...
While it's valid to question what an Uber driver says to a customer, it doesn't necessarily follow that because some Uber drivers have come out against it publicly that all of them are somehow in thrall to the company and hiding their disgust, or even that their issues are actually worse than the issues you might hear a taxi driver say about their company off the meter. Particularly since taxi companies are almost always local and local rules vary.

To go back to a specific point in the OP, if an Uber driver says that when they were a taxi driver the company's cut was 40% instead of the 20% uber takes, I'd be inclined to think they're not lying about it. Merely not bringing it up would be more than sufficient to maintain the illusion.

And to compare this to a personal experience conversing with a cab driver and an uber driver, I had a cabbie tell me that they wait a month to get money from debit or credit transactions in their cab from the company, and this is one of the reasons they resist customers paying that way. An uber driver told me it's a week for them. That's a huge difference in payment cycle.

Also, if Uber drivers are trapped somehow from taking their labour elsewhere, it is entirely because of the regulatory capture created by the taxi industry's relationship with city administrations that imposes inflexible limits on the way the taxi industry can grow (often to the point of it being essentially a planned economy).

Yep. You can even buy a Wrangler RHD direct from Jeep today. Go to their builder and find the "WRANGLER UNLIMITED RHD".
You are right that US drivers usually have the steering column on the left side

However, postal drivers get out of their vehicle all the time, and often on roads not meant to have vehicles pull over. Therefore them getting out from the right hand side prevents them from having to exit into traffic.

It could be we're straining the whole discussion too far with all these analogies, but in any case, I think that would make sense if it were actually true that you'd never have to work on it. In the real world, my friends seem to be at the Apple store for repairs constantly, and Apple is bricking [1] older hardware when they release software upgrades.

I get this, but I also wonder if the same kind of bugs or unintended behavior in a software system aren't just as likely in the protocols, procedures, and chains of command we build for humans to deploy that weaponry. You've got AI doomsday (a la "War Games") on one hand, and bureaucratic doomsday ("Doctor Strangelove") on the other.
Did some Googling — apparently you can use Dobsonian for astrophotography.

Seems to me the field is wide open for someone to come in and solve it using off-the-shelf hardware. Maybe tapping the CCD and detecting the minuscule changes ... servo to rotate the CCD, servos to adjust pitch, yaw ... a feedback loop that blips the servos and decides if the image error is increased or diminished....

Extremely stupid dick in a box idea :/. What exactly is the point of putting $40 Android hdmi stick in a mouse when you could use that stick and wireless mouse separately? Maybe its for people that love cables?

Its one of those 'Im hip young and talented with big ideas, lets get money first and think how to do it later', or rather 'lets get some cheap shit from china, repackage it and make tons of money'.

Was an admin account compromised in a situation where 2FA could have prevented the unauthorized access? If that's not what happened, then 2FA seems a bit hand wavy if it's not directly related to this security incident.
I think you're correct in everything you've written, but I guess I go back to OP's question "why is this happening" and focus on who is driving this and why?

Sure, we understand why people are going along with it quite well at this point, but who and what are behind the push to remove civil liberties is the more interesting component to this issue in my mind.

Very cool. Nerd question -- can you talk a bit about how you made it? Tech stack used, etc.? Always curious about that stuff, especially when on Show HN.
Heh I was officially the last Pyro employee before it was folded, and my last task was to prepare and package up all backups when the IPs (rights, licenses, whatever it actually was) were sold to Kalypso. I not-so-secretly wished there would be a way for the Shadow Tactics team to make the next Commandos, but it wasn't to be (and Desperados 3 is awesome!).

For the past 2.5 years I've been at Lingokids, a mobile service filled with fun and educational content for kids in English. The tech challenge here is balancing constant forward movement with new games, while keeping all the previous ones working. But using my kids as testers beats anything else I've ever done in the fun-at-work department.

I like the baseball card analogy because it's not an analogy, it's a concept. Baseball cards were never a thing around me, but Pokemon cards were, and people would pay true money for these useless things, so why not NFTs?
I lived in a van for a winter a couple of years back outside the company I then owned while weekly-ish commuting to my new home a couple of hundred miles away. While I didn’t have the isolation that OP can have (we ran a small factory and staff) it was freeing to be unshackled from a stationary home and to move about freely, looking back I’m bit sure I took full advantage of that period but I did enjoy it.

Perhaps I will try it again in a few years with my wife this time.
Thank you for your response. I think I fully agree with the last line - those who do not care about privacy won't really be affected by this.

I have a question to ask. How would this work? Even if for a second we assume that they're able to read all our texts etc., how can they curate that information with insurance companies? What data might the insurance companies be interested in? I would not (and I'm assuming a lot of people would not) specifically enter my age/health issues/Blood Pressure information on Whatsapp.

> They may very well sell also data to insurance companies making it harder for you to get insurance.
He is, but maybe there’s some survivorship bias there. We can’t really ask the shadowbanned people what they think of the moderation because they’re shadowbanned.
> The next demagogue will be happy to tell his critics the same when he takes power.

So...you're agreeing with me that demagogues in the government should not have the power to silence criticism? Last time I checked, TwitFace is not the government. The government has no right to tell them who they can censor. That is also an infringement on free speech.

> the dignity of being officially persecuted.

What persecution? This is just the free market at work. Forcing a private company to carry their views would be tantamount to communism. I thought "these people" (your words) abhorred communism.

> Either that, or you've already decided to use it to keep yourself in power.

Get out of your bubble. Not everyone thinks like that.
That’s exactly the problem. They can’t talk to you and you can’t talk to them. You don’t get to tell them why they’re wrong or work to find common ground anymore. Their ideas are allowed to fester in their protected bubble. This is extremely destructive to democracy and open discourse.
They can, but let's not pretend that Parler won't be targeted for destruction somehow if it gets a critical mass of users. We've seen this strategy employed before on right-wing platforms that catch too much negative media attention. Their infrastructure platforms will be targeted, their distribution channels will be targeted, their payment systems will be targeted, their code licenses will be targeted, the media will try to dig up whatever negative stories about the firm or its owners that they can, etc. Eventually some platform will be able to resist this but it's an ugly process.
Fixed, thanks! Also urls get hyperlinked now.

Amsterdam housing prices are going through the roof with all the expats moving in.
I just glanced over the source, but I think the answer is no in both cases.

> "which users have access to resource X, including implicitly through one or more assume-role jumps, across these N accounts, including stuff like iam:PassRole, even including tag-based policies?"

This would be difficult to pull off because you'd need to make separate calls to each of your accounts to determine this sort of thing. And if you're looking at assuming roles through mulitple accounts, you have to consider whether external Ids are defined.

And if external Ids are defined, how do you handle that? Do you assume the caller has the external Id?

> "who had access to X between Jun and Aug 2020?"

This one would be easier, but would require integration with AWS Config.

That's true for the country as a whole, but in Amsterdam lots of people don't even speak Dutch at all. It was a rather bizarre experience for me to go to a coffee place and order in my native language, only to get frowned upon—English only!
This is probably a better URL as it shows the proposed changes: https://rethinkscape.netlify.app/

If only Kotlin would introduce a non-ridiculous way to declare map and list literals it would be a great data science language. As it is, it falls over at the first hurdle where you want to specify some data inline. One reason I've really stuck with Groovy for JVM-based data sciency stuff.
Dutch people don't want to hear this but the Netherlands are a tax haven just like Ireland. Luxembourg and Switzerland aren't actually that attractive for tax avoidance anymore.
