‘Famous’ actors making millions like Donald Trump joined the SAG because they thought it was a net benefit to them. One of the major benefits is protection from those vary same managers which have historically often acted in their own interest rather than their clients.

Another benefit that seems minor to multi millionaires but occasion really makes a huge difference in these people’s lives is a significant pension. It’s unfortunately common for very rich actors to end up broke at some point making the security of knowing you’re never going to be poor even if they don’t stay rich a huge deal. That’s something managers can’t negotiate on a film by film basis and it’s an example where minimizing downsides becomes more valuable than maximizing total compensation.
Here's even more recent:
Have or Will = 82.8% (202.8M)

The risk group (boomers+) have had so many advantages that I'm not inclined to risk my health with forced AstraZeneca for them.

They are doing just fine with various rent seeking behaviors in my country. I don't need to rent them my body as well.
You're ignoring the comment you're replying to. It's not 'two to tango', it's the network effect Facebook deliberately set up and perpetuates thru growth and acquisition.
Whoa! You should blog about this for posterity for the next hopeless soul who has to figure out why the thing that never dies died.
Recently I was asked here on HN if I believed in climate science. So there you go.
Curtis has some amazing thought piece "documentary" series out. While you may not agree with the world view they take, they're food for thought and come with amazing music and wonderful editing. "All watched over by machines of loving grace" is a lovely look at the Randian SV mindset.
That fear and hopelesness is more or less exactly what drives the hypernormalization. For me these documentaries present a small hope that we may actually get out of this mess. First step to taking action should be trying to understand the problems.

We don't know what actions will make things better for sure, and probably never will. That's no reason not to take action, but perhaps a reason to not to expect nice and simple solutions.
I honestly think for the sorts of websites you make in SquareSpace, they shouldn't be. There's no reason that to develop a static website (even with some dynamic elements like a shopping cart) that you should need e.g. a build process to target modern browsers (i.e. consumers in Western economies).

But this is probably me being idealistic. It's why I like things like hyperscript... it feels like we might be _just_ on the cusp of what I'm saying being true.
That's very unfortunate. When I installed Signal, I didn't mean to open another account in which taxable assets can be traded.

In the Wired article, they argue why this doesn't put a target on Signal's back as they are not becoming an exchange. Good for them, but what about Signal users' backs?

With this feature, the range of reasons why the authorities might justifiably want to have a look at the contents of my Signal app has just widened dramatically.

If you're using this feature in the UK, you are well advised to read the HMRC guidance on the taxation of cryptocurrency:

This reminds me of the Newton-Leibniz calculus priority dispute, with Newton not publishing on calculus until after Leibniz had, although with that we now at least have the benefit of contemporary
correspondence to refer to.
The image of thousands of penguins every day being rendered into oil makes me deeply sad, and I've no idea why it affects me more than the other animals we raise as livestock. It's not just that they're cute - since cows are IMO quite adorable - I cannot put my finger on it.
Indeed the answer should simply be Not any more.
This is a refreshing, level-headed text, signed by the real name of its individual author. It is not intended to stir the mob but as a kind path towards understanding; I like it.
Seems the submission to HN should be titled "announced" rather than "released".
There was an interesting study of IQs by college major, showing disciplines such as social work, education and gender studies being at the lowest end of the IQ spectrum. Seems like it would be counter intuitive to ask quite so much from members of those demographics when it comes to educating our children.

Thanks, but unfortunately it's not that good of a comparison since the original is already heavily compressed. Could you do another with a less compressed original image (and, preferably, more color variation)?
The situation in Japan is dire. Their debt is more than double gdp.
Downvoters: Care to comment? It's more productive that way you know. You might have it right? Door is open. Sell me.

While I wait:

I got most of the things I put above, and as a parent, was able to supply most of the above, both to pretty great effect.

For what it's worth, taking blame off the table is rarely popular. Why?

Because then we realize we aren't so exceptional, and that we really should be doing something together on this, and that it's going to involve some real work in the form of face time and seat time.

You will find in your life that is true whether or not it appeals.

Carry on though, but don't think that goes without notice.

I don't know if that interpretation has ever been tested in court though. There are limits to what can be a derived work.
You have to understand that the publisher of this piece (the blog curator, Valerie Strauss) is a paid supporter of the teacher unions. That is her primary agenda, and the agenda of many opposed to teacher evaluation via job effectiveness.

If teacher effectiveness can't be measured, teachers can't be fired for performance. Union win.
maybe this is it: http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TECH/innovation/12/08/steve.wozn...
I think I get your point now. It's OK if a human momentarily mistakes a random blob for a panda, but they should be able to figure out from other visual cues and context that it's not a panda. And it's that second part that's missing from the computer models?
A suggestion to use surrogate keys instead of natural ones doesn't seem right to me. IMO proper choice of natural keys leads to better mapping from a knowledge domain into the corresponding relational model; if you are unable to find natural keys maybe there's something wrong with your database schema?
I think your over complicating the query. You split the location -> time zone -> offset into one query to a temp table (doesn't need to run each time - very easy to predicate needed updates) then do the local time / location part. Its really not that hard.

I should point out I'm in the SQL / Stored Procedure camp and not talking using some object mapping solution. That might get problematic.
I very much loved the book but wish I hadn't watched the film. It was only tangentially related to the book.
At least for now they seem to be very fixed on just providing a very basic server and not trying to cover as many use cases. (see their bugtracker for what counts as "featuritis": https://github.com/reyk/httpd/issues?q=label%3Afeaturitis )
So far I have imposed mainly F(x,y) = F(y,x). You could also enforce F(-x,-y) = -F(x,y), but I have not done that.

The second reduction that I mention is actually to require every F to satisfy either F(-1,y) <= F(0,y) <= F(1,y) OR F(-1, y) >= F(0,y) >= F(1,y).

And no the symmetries are not that useful to implement the circuitry, but are nice to select operators that compose nicely and allow many simplifications (think De Morgan's laws)
It's not an XOR.

Review sites are the worst. Recently I was looking for reviews for a nail gun. It was impossible to find a legitimate review site.
"Split screen" as in make a new window? Sure - `:vs` ("vertical split"), or `:vs filename.txt`. Or there's the "Windows" section on https://thevaluable.dev/vim-intermediate/ .
> Google hasn't so much made the worlds knowledge searchable, they have poisoned the well.

This happened to Google already with translation. Their translation system started with documents with known translation (e.g. EU and UN official documents). Then they started to use documents on the web that offered their own translations...until Google translate got good enough that people started using it to translate their own websites.

This "inbreeding" or bad feedback made the translations worse until this was figured out and I believe they long gave up automatically using translations found in the wild to improve training. Source: friend who worked on GT at the beginning.
only as effective as Facebook ads? b/c they're at least 10x the price...
A phrase like "not strictly speaking" gives the impression that you would be qualified to elaborate on that point. Don't hold back.

As far as anabolic steroids go the only one that is in relatively widespread legitimate use is testosterone

A minor nitpick: I believe deca is actually used, sparingly, but in the real world, for legit medical purposes. Namely anemia. (Though I do know at least one friend who got a “legitimate” prescription for “hypogonadism”, because that particular clinic will do whatever you want.)

how they think SHBG and estrogen are bad and deliberately wipe them out using ancillary drugs

Now this, this is ubiquitous, and a terrible broscience idea. Tanking estrogen in males? Bad. Bad bad bad. Bad for the mind, bad for the heart, literally.
Sure, it would be nice if any software were open source, but that you are entitled for it? Funny attitude.

Phenomenon like what I described is part of the problem with whiteboard leetcode interviews though.

Sounds like you're a good interviewer, and what you describe is how it should be. Even recruiting literature says that the purpose of the interview is for the interviewer and interviewee to "pair" or "partner" to solve the problem.

What usually happens more often than not though, is the interviewer is not very cooperative, and sometimes even hostile. S/he is not partner, but judge jury and executioner. So the interviewee, especially if they are new at this whole leetcode interview game, feels pressured to find the optimal solution ASAP otherwise face rejection.

And even if you tell them what you say above, they'll still feel pressured because if they "waste time" coming up with a simple, obvious, but seemingly suboptimal solution, then they feel that's less time they'll have to spend coming up with and coding the optimal solution.
It seems odd that they would have notified Intel rather than the security team, given how poorly Intel has handled disclosures in the past... Its good that they do note that "The Linux Kernel Security team should have been notified in order to facilitate coordination, and any future vulnerabilities of this type will also be reported to them"
I upvoted, but I really wanted to down vote you.
Been using Unity for a long time and that is a hyperbolic comment. It’s not nearly as bad as that person makes it out to be.

No, it's just conjecture, assuming some things. Have you ever taken a road trip? Was the cost of gas between fill-ups more than you were paid per day for your first job?

Assuming you're not driving a Mercedes, is your monthly car payment + insurance more than your monthly income?

You see where I'm going.
It's almost self evident. Does a car cost > 30k a year? Does gas? Just like software engineering, the biggest cost in the taxi game is labour.

Edit: Maybe I goofed, mattmcknight accurately points out that in many cities the taxi medallion is the most expensive part of the taxi equation. I'm not intimately familiar with Uber; do drivers still have to obtain medallions in their respective cities?
Uber in DC is under attack from the government.

"DCTC passed a new set of regulations which bans mid-sized, fuel-efficient vehicles from being hired, as well as places color restrictions on those cars."

Would be interested for someone to fork this and translate the cyrillic to english
Sure. There's: http://www.soliftec.com/NonExhaust%20PMs.pdf (2016)

Study highlights:

A positive relationship exists between vehicle weight and non-exhaust emissions.

Electric vehicles are 24% heavier than their conventional counterparts.

Electric vehicle PM emissions are comparable to those of conventional vehicles.

Non-exhaust sources account for 90% of PM10 and 85% of PM2.5 from traffic.

Future policy should focus on reducing vehicle weight

Part of this is that we already spent a lot of deliberate effort on reducing emissions from engines. As the study notes:

> Before the introduction of air quality standards, exhaust emissions used to be a major source of PM, especially for diesel cars (Miguel et al., 1998). Since then, PM emission standards for vehicle exhausts have become increasingly strict and now all new diesel passenger cars are fitted with a diesel particulate filter (DPF). Bergmann et al. (2009) found that DPFs are very effective at reducing PM emissions, lowering the emitted mass of PM by 99.3%
I think its more than that. Its not just because its called "Soylent". Its because Rob genuinely wants to replace food when possible with Soylent, not to get rich (primarily), but because in a lot of cases its a better option versus the food most people would eat (shitty fast food).

Execution + Expectations of probable success = Valuation
I don't believe so. I believe SignalR is more synonymous with node's implementation of socket.io. This would be like someone getting SignalR to work natively with an Android client.
Similar experience here, but I guess the main selling point is to save the effort of typing your password when you return.
It'd just look like a bunch of git branches ending: dead, dead, dead, dead, raped, dead, dead, dead, tortured, dead.

The terrorists were professional (Syria-seasoned?) islamists guided at some points of their life by special ops.

How can ruining your middle-class privacy help prevent those?

I've found that it's quite a good source of information on legitimately good or interesting technology companies in various cities. Once you look outside Silicon Valley, it can sometimes be surprisingly hard to figure out what the good companies are, if any, in a given city. My experience is that the good companies typically have at least a profile or job posting on there.

(And if you're a good company and you have neither of those, I recommend getting one if you can afford it -- not sure what the cost is.)
These new views could bring a lot more entertainment to the game, especially if they can stream it live from the devices. Even cooler if they had this in pro cycling.

Does anyone know what attachment they are using on the helmets to get that overhang angle looking back at the player?
From my personal perspective - it's a major plus when choosing a language - under the general auspices of "readability counts". I find Python-like languages much easier to read and maintain - and significant whitespace is a not-insignificant factor in that.
I don't like it because the flow of data keeps changing direction. I would prefer one of

getLine >>= ( ("Hello, " ++) >>> putStrLn )

putStrLn . ("Hello, " ++) =<< getLine
If corporations are people, then robots are people too.

Corporations have legal personhood because they're an association of people. I don't see how this applies to robots. If you do, I don't want to see your robots!
Hell, I'll pay you to get me some more followers
Sure, I can answer.

I think 124Kb does matter a lot. It's not just about the download size but several other things as well:

1. Code size. More vulnerable areas for bugs. Bigger stack traces.

2. Execution time. Scripts are not images. They block the page. And you cannot just remove them from the page like you can do with images.

3. On mobile bits and CPU cycles matter significantly more.

Boilerplate.

Look for the example on this page:

https://muut.com/riotjs/compare.html

and you can see that little things add up.

I'm going to update the compiler so that HTML ends on the last tag and if you want to be explicit you can wrap the logic inside a script tag.
Hope you don't mind if I listen in - fascinated by this area too :-)
I just don't understand which of these criticisms doesn't apply to the Big Five too.
Chargebacks on credit cards work well for business owners only in high trust societies - there is too much scope for abuse.

If a similar chargeback system existed in countries like India, people would abuse the shit out of it - which is why even regular card transactions have two factor auth there.
Wow this has come a decent way since I first tried it back in early 2017. I used to use the rtlsdr a lot as a hobby back then, and it inspired me to get a ham license after hearing the local chatter. I'll have to dig it back out and scan the airwaves again and see if I can decode anything interesting. Thanks for sharing this.
It's amazing contrasting this with Quranic scholarship (the faith I follow now).

I grew up in a Christian school and even they were totally honest about the high probability and academic theories that the 4 gospels were not written by the claimed authors. I always found that odd. You don't even believe your own faith was recorded down correctly but you call it the word of God?
Yes, they are extremely aggressive. Also, their payment screen about "start for free" leads to a $199 payment after a short two-week trial.
Its conspicuous absence alongside so many obscure alternatives is baffling.
The only ads I see are the banners, but I don't pay any attention to those. There aren't any video ads, which is all I really care about.

(My dumb TV is a projector, one of the best decisions we've made in the past 5 years.)
I use self hosted nextcloud now. It takes time to manage but can’t handle more drama like these
Agree this is where the law is now.

It’s an interesting thought experiment to wonder if we would have got here if Google News wasn’t a giant pile of summaries.
Yes. Thank you. *Averaging. Thought I caught all the mistakes.
> This kind of story is really difficult: it provides fodder for right claims that social justice warriors have taken over the country.

It always makes me a little sad when people see something wrong happening and their first concern is not about the issue itself, but rather about how bringing attention to the issue might lend credence to the views of their political opponents.
> Since most appliance manufacturers require you registering your product with them for warranty service, yes, please take care of that for me (many appliance stores do)

Manufacturers legally have to honor their warranty regardless of you giving them your information. They don’t exactly say you won’t be covered by warranty if you don’t “register”, because they legally can’t.

I had a brief but serious bout of RSI in my right wrist in my early 30s. Ergo keyboards and novel typing layouts didn’t help at all, nor did a wrist brace. What eventually relieved it was a trackball (which the author of this article also used) and a wrist pad for that hand. I avoided normal mouses, trackpads, and the IBM/Lenovo “mouse nipple,” going so far as to bring my trackball with my laptop.

I’ve switched back long since, for precision, but the RSI never returned. Definitely check out trackballs if keyboard mitigations aren’t helping.

Also, buy wrist rest pads!
Serenity is a great community to keep up with if you're interested in OS security (along with a whole lot of other topics that are typically buried in decades of incidental complexity).

There are a number of things in this exploit you can no longer do in latest Serenity:

1. As the author mentioned, the entry point of this chain is fixed (the specific overflow problem in JSLib).

2. User libs have ASLR (edit: this used to say the kernel has a slide, but this is incorrect).

3. You can no-longer mprotect with PROT_EXEC after you create a writeable page (W^X)

4. This may or may not be relevant, but there is now a "blessed syscall pages" feature, preventing anyone except libc^h^h^h^h libSystem.so and a couple of other places from directly invoking syscalls, so you better find a few pages from libSystem or it will be a whole lot harder to reach out and touch someone with your exploit.

(Andreas and crew went on a month-or-so long security trek after a few CTFs and these changes plus quite a few others were the result.)
Similar story, my mother passed away 4 years ago and she was already on LinkedIn, but we weren’t connected. Without fail, LinkedIn sends me a bi-weekly email telling me that my mother is on LinkedIn and I should totally connect with her. It’s always the same, never any other suggestions. Haven’t figured out how to stop those emails.
It's also a service whose users are mostly in Russia and neighboring countries. The country selector on their .com home page links to localized sites for Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkey -- neither Switzerlands nor the Netherlands are an option.
You make a good point. There are some kinds of "institutional dysfunction" that are too problematic to overcome. It that sense it's really not only about the manager. At best managers can carve out a small pocket of good work environment for the employee, but even that has limits that won't be enough for people to stay.
If an upvote can be used as a sign of agreement, why can't a downvote be used as a sign of disagreement?

His criticisms of Javascript are, of course, correct. It's a huge mark of shame for the technical community that we've allowed this language to "win". Bafflingly, people who even suggest that the hacks-upon-hacks we've had to use for even basic software engineering techniques like namespacing are just that, hacks, routinely get shouted down. The whole thing will make an interesting sociological study at some point.

From the article:

"Javascript used to be a tool that you used as sparingly as possible, sprinkling just the barest hint of dynamic behavior where it was absolutely necessary. Now it's common to start a new project and assume that 50% or more of the code will be Javascript."

I know I've been asked to cool it on the pimping, but this is exactly what intercooler.js is designed for: you don't need to write much javascript for the dynamic behavior you want 99% of the time.
Have a lanyard around your wrist with the end plugged into a USB port. Set up a daemon that watches for that device to disconnect, and once it does, the computer powers off.
Ok, we've taken 'all' out of the title above.
