I don't think it would be like that. HN would ask questions and get insightful information and stories from people who are as passionate about this industry as we are. I do understand what you're saying about what reddit's AMA was originally intended to be.

Do you need that many meetings? That seems like too much of a time commitment for simple discussion which can happen via IM or phone.

Also if you live in the same complex and you have no idea as to why your partner missed the meetings, than your communication needs some work.

If all you are doing is just meeting to prepare for a business proposal, than most likely your idea isn't going to go anywhere. Start working on implementing your business plan rather than putting your business plan together.

Effectively any employer can higher any employee anywhere in the world (excluding sanctions), that does not mean they get to immigrate automatically. And any suggestion that we remove all immigration restrictions are going to get stiff responses from the vast majority of people in most countries.

>> Trump also fought states having the right to their own election rules.

Its clearly stated in the constitution that if states change their election laws, then they need to go through the legislature in order to do so. GA, WI. MI and PA ALL made changes WITHOUT going through the legislature. Why? Because in each of those states, the legislature was controlled by Republicans.

The fact they changed their laws the way they did is a clear cut violation of the constitution, it's not even debatable.
You might be confusing rational and reasonable. I assure you that both sides of most issues are approaching it from a rational point of view, but it could be that view is not objectively reasonable (and being in politics, they may be lying). Even believing what your group believes can be considered a rational decision (self preservation etc).

Some people also become emotional which leads to what you are likely talking about -colloquial irrationality. This idea itself can be a dangerous part of the problem, by assuming the other side is not rational, especially when you have multiple factions supporting the same idea but stating different reasons or participating in "irrational" behavior.

Also, the world views do not need to converge on every issue. It's a very western idea that when two sides are debating that one must be right and the other is wrong. Some eastern philosophies believe that the truth is in the middle. If we can discuss topics in a civil manner, we may be able to find common ground on many topics and subscribe to a less invasive mindset (many laws seem to be motivated by "I don't want [those people] to be allowed do [that]").

If world views really must converge and are not based on rationality, then we've all lost already and should divide the country (separate nations, urban vs rural) so the people can govern themselves according to their respective values.

Even if we modify group identities, to try to get world views to converge, in order for that new consensus to be valuable we still need the values that I list in my previous comment. Not to mention, even if we get those values to converge temporarily, they are likely to diverge in the future (are there any large countries that have a consensus worldview and that it has been stable? I don't know of any).

California does consider political affiliation as a protected class for employment purposes: https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/california-employmen...

That's what real liberalism looks like and it's something we need to extend to the federal level.
The only question you need to ask yourself is this: if there is an expression here then that expression would have to move the needle from 'derivative work' to 'sufficiently new creation to warrant individual copyright'.

Since the predicted outcome of developing a film is that you get what was on the other side of the lens during exposure and any skilled darkroom operator would be able to accomplish this and end up with more or less the same result I think that it would be quite a stretch to argue that this is in fact a creative act.

It's work. It's skilled, but it is not creative (though those passionate about darkrooms will likely disagree, but that's their problem, the law is what it is). You could likely find thousands of people with the required skills and all of those would barring accidents come up with the exact same negatives as a result of the development process.

If you take a negative and you purposefully change it to reduce its fidelity then that might be a creative act. But if you do it to a negative that you did not expose you're still going to end up (most likely, not 100%, this depends on the degree of modification) with a derivative work, the case you cite above has lots of changes rather than just a change in exposure or coloring or new photographic elements that weren't present in the old image and hand drawn bits it has all of them. It's clearly a mash-up of several elements of which the original photograph admittedly makes up a sizeable chunk but definitely not 100% of it.

Your 'off-center snapshot' is a new photograph which deliberately changes the composition of the original and has a larger chance of being deemed original (a better example would be say a photograph of the inside of a museum gallery depicting a number of artworks at once).

But the copyright on a derivative work lies squarely with the holder of the original copyright.

In this case the images are as close to an accurate reproduction as you could get.

So, either the person that developed these images has taken images that were in the public domain, has within his rights made a website that displays these pictures but has in error (either deliberate or through a misunderstanding of the law) placed a copyright sign underneath them.

Or the original photographer has those copyrights, which have been subsequently (presumably) passed on to his/her estate.

The latter is likely not the case since (1) this is an American photographer and (2) in those days copyright still needed to be registered afaik. But let's for the sake of the argument assume that this is the case then they, not the person that made the website would hold the copyright.

So either way I don't think that copyright notice is legitimate.

Say you lose an SD card with a bunch of pictures on it that does not automatically transfer the rights to those pictures to the finder or to anybody who subsequently buys that SD card from the person who found it. Copyright does not work that way, it flows from the act of creation.
it's all bubble IMO. Maybe the social media and consumption fads have gone extreme.
> it is ridiculous that we don't have a single commonly used standardized-exam that evaluates proficiency and expertise in the core curriculum.

We, for decades until this year, had a single commonly used set, of which different institutions mandated (or accepted as one of several alternatives) different subsets, the SAT Subject Tests (formerly SAT II, formerly Acheivement Tests.) Like the SAT itself, they've bee questioned for a while, and the COVID-19 pandemic on top of that led to their widespread abandonment and, as of this year, discontinuation.

Not sure what exactly you mean, but they've open sourced the entire JDK, including Flight Recorder and Java mission control.

They're selling support for the JDK to companies that value that service.

I'm guessing they're doing OK on that front, since the sorts of enterprises that typically buy support are their bread and butter.
Solving your own problems is all well and good, but I think that advice was more valid 10 to 15 years ago when there were more untapped opportunities.

My current philosophy is that you have to go seek opportunities. I am trained as a mathematician but I am thinking of getting into some high-tech area just to gain experience, get domain expertise, and hopefully find business opportunities. I'm considering robotics but not quite decided yet.
You can argue whatever you like. I lived in Germany in the late 60s for 3 years, and visited occasionally in the decades since. For someone living there the whole time, the change might be gradual enough to not be noticeable, but I notice it as discontinuous jumps.
Come visit LA - you can stay with me if you like. I'm looking for new friends in the area and we could meet a bunch together - or go to a few nerd nights. Respond if interested.

I dunno if there was actual collusion, but it was definitely shady as all hell. I do think this was a case where the cover-up was worse than the crime.
There is a good intuition here. The arts, too, once served a primarily communal function. Most of the steps that later became the ballet are drawn from folk dancing, which at one time was common to all communities.

In Tokyo sometimes, you walk through a neighborhood where the people have blocked off an intersection for circle dancing in a relatively simple style.

Maybe the easiest thing to get tech people to do would be live CounterStrike. One half of the office is "guarding the VIPs", the other half is rescuing the hostages. People spend hours and hours on these kinds of games as it is. Bringing it into the real world would harness some of that engagement for health and community.

In the UK we are just starting our first week of national school shutdown, and the transition is very abrupt and many schools poorly prepared. I have children in primary (U.S. grade K-5) and secondary (U.S. grade 6-10) and primary is barely functional. They have some basic content on their website but no equipment and no interaction between school and students so far. But secondary is far better - all students have iPads and online classrooms, curriculum based work set every day, teachers interacting regularly with students, study groups for the students, even time-based tests. Hopefully the primary schools can trim things around, since the schools seem unlikely to restart until after the summer break - 5 more months

Arrange your house to be as safe as possible for the toddler and to provide them food independence. Make meals that everyone consumes, but keep snacks and drinks on hand that the toddler can manage on their own and which you are comfortable letting them consume to their heart's content.

Waiting on the child hand and foot to feed them and control their diet seems to be a large part of the burden. I never did that.

Kid snacks go on the lowest shelves of the pantry and the lowest shelves of the fridge door.

Let them have some limited amounts of junkie snacks. Otherwise, keep healthy stuff around that's easy for them to get themselves and don't stringently police what they eat. Let them get it themselves.

Explain that if they spill something, they should come get you so you can clean it up and they will not be in trouble. Do not be cross with them when they come get you. Thank them for getting you and clean it up.

I kept ten percent real fruit juice Capri Sun in the house. My toddlers learned to stick the straw in themselves. If it fell over, it dribbled a bit. It wasn't a big spill.

For a time, I kept hot dogs in the lowest shelf of the fridge door. Toddlers need more fats than adults and I could remember eating cold Vienna sausage out of the can as a toddler and liking it.

I would split the hotdog pack in half and put one half in an upper shelf out of reach. I would pre open the other so it was possible for a toddler to open it and put it in the bottom shelf of the fridge door.

I sometimes kept cold leftover noodles in the fridge and parmesan or Romano cheese. Cold noodles and cheese is a decent snack and my kid liked it.

Make long homemade tapes or play lists or whatever. I was working with tape recordings off the TV.

I had purchased videos that played for as little as 30 minutes. I got constantly interrupted if I let them watch those. A six hour tape of curated content meant I was comfortable letting them be only lightly supervised and they actually left me alone for more than fifteen minutes.

I would put a tape in and set a fresh snack and drink on the coffee table so they had easy access.

When the youngest got old enough to fight with the older child, I spent a week sitting on the floor with them actively teaching them how to play together so they would stop fighting over toys and the like.

If the kids get along, they have unfettered access to reasonably healthy snacks and they are kept safely entertained in a physically safe home, it's possible to sometimes be left alone by them.

This was often the only way I got any sleep.

I wouldn't quit. It's a global pandemic. Other people are not likely to be more productive than you. Kids or no kids, everyone is finding this challenging.
I'm a road cyclist as well, used Zwift + Wahoo trainer for a few years. My wife really wanted a Peloton so we got one. I've ended up selling my Wahoo and do power zone training on the Peloton. The pedal stroke is smoother, far less vibration and noise. I don't have to worry about keeping sweat off a bike or having a bike on/off the trainer. It's so easy and convenient to get a 45 or 60 minute session in that my FTP is higher than it's ever been.

I came in skeptical but it's been working well for me.
The problem was assuming anybody, much less Silicon Valley, would be breaking the narrative of banks being honest institutions.
Also if XMPP would be possible, the data privacy problems would persist. For many people it's a problem that FB reads all their messages.

Again, in a utopia you would be right, but in the real world, there are legitimate conflicts of interest, and times where its a question of who to screw not whether to or not.

Even the nicest guys when backed into a corner will kick into survival mode.

Like I said, sometimes being nice to one person is being cruel to another.
Yeah, not rendering nodes out of view came up a little early on in the current implementation of infinite scrolling as something I was looking to do. The only way I could think of not rendering previous rows was to lock a specific row height, which was not something I was excited about (and it breaks down even further on nested tables, which have a state independent of its parent grid).

It's definitely something Ryan and I (or anyone else that might want to contribute) will be revisiting in the near future, potentially as a config option.
>Our entire economy is predicated on the notion that people get money by doing good things for society and the money is their reward.

Yeah. It's an idea of protestant origins (initially: wealth is a kind of reward for the fair from God), and one that, as someone from a non-protestant country, abhor.

>A homeless person can be as kind as they want but how much can they do for you? A rich person can benefit you in many ways and it may not cost them very much.

People are more often screwed in the large by rich persons than by homeless persons. For starters, homeless persons don't start many wars, nor do they get trillion dollar bailouts for collapsing the economy...
Necessity is the argument of tyrants, it is the creed of slaves.
>You provide free food because you get more working time out of your employees.

I don't see a problem with that. If I work overtime I can leave earlier on another day. Quite a lot of my coworkers leave at 12am on fridays.
Definitely. I was reacting to my parent poster, because size does not say everything. 1TB can be small, 1GB can be big - it depends on the amount of computation time that is necessary for whatever processing of the data you do.
> people usually agree with the loudest voice, not with the best idea

The problem with leaders is often, that they think they are the smartest and any idea not from them is automatically bad.

This is a problem. Often ideas are linked with people and not evaluated independently of that. We had success in our team with doing information gathering and idea generation as anonymous as possible. People can read and comment on ideas anonymously before it's discussed in person or decisions are made. That way people think of having a hand in the development of more ideas. This helps lessen the influence of large egos. Also it helps people who are shy to participate more easily.

> accept it or leave. Don't hold grudges

Also true. Grudges and constant complaining are not good for team spirit. However if people are often overruled and their reservations turn out to be true in the end, then your decision process sucks.
Big studio headphones were best investment I ever made :-)
What kind of programs do you write?
I like this post because it describes specific monads and why they are useful.

If I were to recommend a basic path to understanding monads, I'd say do this:

1. Understand `map` in the context of lists. This can be done in Ruby or Scala very easily if you don't want to get into Haskell directly.

2. Learn about the Maybe monad (or Option in scala). Understand what mapping an Option or a Maybe means. A simplified explanation is to compare it to a list of either length 1 or 0.

3. Learn about the IO monad in Haskell. Understand how IO monads can compose. At this point, it's ok to just say magic happens and the compiler then cause a single IO monad (the result of composing multiple IO monads) assigned to main to execute and the side effects will happen.

At that point, you've got a general understanding of how to use monads. It will actually take you pretty far.

One key point that might be a hangup is going from `map` meaning "apply this function to every element and return a new list of the results" to `>>=` meaning "apply this function as dictated by the monad and return the result". It's probably good enough to acknowledge that `map` is a simplified case of `>>=`.

In any case, as the linked article says here, you should be able to understand specific Monads fairly quickly. Perhaps truly understanding monads means knowing when to create new monadic structures but that's hardly a prerequisite to being productive with monads.
The mother of all monads is the continuation monad. That's the most canonical monads that can implement all other monads. It's rather too abstract as an example to beginners, though.
> and not stretch yourself too thin.

But they are. Keep, Fit are prime examples of stretching but offering a mediocre "service".

The way I see it, Google turned hard into a direction from building services with APIs into data collection silos. Google+ with Photos, Keep, Fit, Now. The data is even isolated from each other or really hard to access :
- you can't access Keep data anywhere, or what you upload on it
- Google+ Photos are available on web, not in Drive. You can see Drive photos in it, but you can't edit them with auto awesome

Fit is so basic that it offers practically nothing that it doesn't already exists out there. Data representation is in a form of one graph of total calories/steps. It does require you to enable location tracking though, to be able to automatically track steps/workouts (how suprising), which takes a major effect on the battery life.

Google is coming for your data and coming hard.
I'm assuming you sent in some kind of paperwork before walking up and interviewing - did that perhaps include a resume with a GPA on it?
The thing that makes monads so powerful is they can be used in a such a wide variety of situations. You can model control flow with the continuation monad, concurrency with the future monad, and error handling with the either monad. Three very different domains but only one abstraction to learn!

I can also give you a very succinct definition of a monad, or a succinct example, but I doubt you'd understand them until you've seen many examples in different domains.

(If you want examples or defn, there are many web pages that have them.)
