This is the reason why groups like Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontiéres) exist. If you want to help sick people, do it with MSF.

There's also Engineers without Borders, but I recently discovered it's not actually about helping with construction work, more like teaching about engineering logistics/principles. Still, point is it's done by engineering students who should know what they're talking about.

In fact there are a whole load of 'Without Borders' groups: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Without_Borders
Indeed, as was discussed before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4551907

I really like the atmosphere of the old git design[1]. The new design[2] is so corporate and soulless. Open-source projects can afford to look more human than companies, I'm happy that they do.

>Wait, what? Jobs didn't create technology, he sold it to people

Technology has many levels. A cpu is a technology as is a touch sensitive panel -- but a specific arrangment of cpu and touch sensitive panel etc, is also technology. The one who makes decisions about how it should be made, also creates technology.

Apple also wrote their own software, and even designed their own chips and parts a lot of the time. And of course they also found lots of ingenious solutions to lots of engineering problems in creating smaller/more efficient/more battery power/etc devices.

So, what does "Jobs didn't create technology, he sold it to people" mean? Isn't iWork techology for example? Or you mean, he wasn't a coder or engineer, he was the head of the company making it? Well, that's true, but duh!
I don't think most routers work that way anymore. WPS has weaknesses, but it's still better than having the same password on every device.
It is never stealing, but unlicensed use or license violation!

Steeling would be taking away copyright ownership from author.
That is known as "form follows function" and one philosophy. The philosophy I stated is "form and function are one" which came about after the former.

But it's important to consider that form and function are not necessarily separate things and that beauty is not only decoration.

Read this article, in particular this [1] section.

And here's a nice quote:

“…users judge the relevancy of identical search results from different search engines based on the brand…Participants in the study indicated that the results from Google and Yahoo were superior to identical results found through Windows Live or a generic search engine.”
> Silicon Valley salaries are not “inflated” nor are they unreasonably high.

More people need to understand this. Even here on HN most people appear innumerate. A round number like a $100,000 salary might have seemed like a large amount of money in the year 2000. There has been 55% inflation in the meantime.
> Clearly, their numbers show it’s better.

Their numbers seem cherry picked or is Turbo Fan actually unable to inline code?

Proof-of-work =/= cryptocurrency. There are cryptocurrencies that work without proof-of-work, and those that quantitatively rely on it to a far lesser degree.

Honestly, it continues to surprise me how clueless most of HN commenters are on this topic.
I think you've misunderstood something. sq has no problem generating certificates with subkeys. Here's the default structure. Notice that we actually include a separate signing subkey by default. This makes it harder to use a data signature where e.g. a self signature is expected and vice verse. This can help protect against some collision attacks, among others.

I was told ~30 years ago by a leading computer scientist in the NN field that biology has nothing to teach us in terms of implementation. I switched from CS to neuroscience anyway. I've wrestled with his statement ever since. I'll say that nothing I've seen since then has shown him wrong.
I agree that the data will shift the results of the model and that some predictors can be proxies for others that are protected, but the claim was that the models themselves were biased (rather globally) and was curious whether that was shown and if so how.
I'm not sure sure about that. The 6x places can pay that because of high revenue per employee. It's not like the 1x places will suddenly see a higher revenue per employee to pay higher compensation.
All these great minds at work yet somehow clicking on this link in iOS with the Bloomberg app installed takes me to its homepage instead of the actual article

I hope between Tim Cook's and Michael Bloomberg's successors we can finally invent the technology to make that work as expected

How is that different from the getopts library? I don’t understand.
No one is born as your foe, they gradually become it. Fleeing into "but imagine what china would do" is exactly that, its creation.

Tracing the cirlce of violence back you can only state, that it has always been this way but that is also just a weak excuse of affective apes.
I don't know how much films you watch, but the only thing I'm used to on a subconscious level is what the world looks like IRL.
Yup. There is a popular myth amongst the sheeple that those in power share a citizen's best interests. One must always remember that this ostensible pretense is rarely ever the case.
The question isn't whether you'll need storage at all. It's whether it's cheaper to build enough storage for windless nights, or baseload nuclear and enough storage for remaining demand discrepancies.

I think the latter is more feasible without too much wind, since solar predictably goes to zero when demand is lowest. I don't think it's at all clear that a grid with high amounts of wind instead of nuclear would be cheaper.
I love Lego's products, and have decades of fond memories with them, but every interaction I've ever had with the company itself has been kind of disappointing in terms of quality of service. I hope that's not a bad sign for BrickLink.
>just as Mindfulness has become a utility or a tool removed from its context or even it's original meaning whatever that may be

Meditation has historically been around longer than mankind was writing, and has historically always been used to end psychological stress. So much so, Buddhism exists as a program for one to get "enlightened" which is the end of dukkha, and dukkha means psychological stress. Enlightenment is the end of psychological stress. It's a prehistoric therapy that is so helpful it continues to live on longer than just about anything else we know today.

Calling meditation a tool is actually the original use for it, as far back as we have documented. It's how it's taught in Buddhist circles. It's only a tool.

However, you're not entirely wrong either. Half of the teachings that revolve around ending dukkha is in the western world reserved to word of mouth teaching or deep dives into suttas (https://www.accesstoinsight.org/). It is rare to find a meditation teacher that will teach the other half. The reason for this is that process towards enlightenment, that missing half, is being replaced with working with a therapist. However, modern day therapy still has a ways to go when compared to the ancient teachings that are meant to be taught along side meditation instructions.
Need better evidence to believe this stat too but I do prefer the dark mode personally. For what it's worth, I've been running the dark mode on my site for almost 3 weeks now. 60,000+ visitors since the change and no complaints for now.
Increased natural gas usage has been primarily pushed because of the rise renewables.

Natural gas is currently the peaker plant solution to renewables. The fact that more of these plants exist is primarily driven by the fact that larger portions of the grid are being pushed towards renewables.
DNA is already established as something owned. I don't think DNA is a good metaphorical proxy in this case, as the DNA of the GAI would sensibly be its set of weights assuming it is a neural net. But if it were, perhaps we would regulate it the way we currently regulate DNA. Which means we ignore the fact that DNA can self-replicate and permit corporations to own DNA patterns and prosecute people who possess or make use of organisms expressing that DNA. While many of the accusations against Monsanto are overblown or inaccurate, Monsanto does indeed own patents on a great deal of genetic material, including entirely naturally produced DNA of organisms in developing nations.
It differs by locale--in my experience on the West Coast pedestrians tend to follow the signals more--but people don't reliably follow walk/don't walk signs.
This would be very nice to have up and front on the landing page. I bent over backwards looking for OS compatibility.
More importantly, how do you stop them from contacting you after this transaction.
That would be great - but companies are going to be exercising right of first refusal and changing option plans left and right long before that happens.

Actual price transparency (with low volume that will further distort the differences) for thumbsuck, pie-in-the-sky valuations in an overheated market has only a major downside for founders and investors.

Remember your incentive stock option plan can be changed on a whim by your "stock plan administrator" (e.g. the founders and investors).

And the reason why Trump is being investigating is because he's a fucking traitor who deserves everything that entails.

I hope you are proud of what you are defending. This isn't over yet. More details will come out of how Trump has betrayed our nation.

And you know why it didn't work? Because there's nothing there.

You want to pretend that Trump's personal lawyer was not shopping around hacked documents of Biden's son? Pushing for criminal investigation?

Trump supporters have no allegiance to truth, just like Trump himself.
I can tell you that despite what you might figure, buildings really do get used. I went to a massive university with 50k people, and a campus so big it took a half hour to traverse yet was packed with massive buildings the whole way. For the most part the buildings would be booked up during the regular term, but during exams, then they were absolutely maxed. All the study spaces in the 13 story main library, 6 story engineer library, and all the other scattered libraries would be full. There would be no free chairs at all. People would resort to studying in empty classrooms during finals, which usually worked better since you had a closed off room to meet with your group, space, AV hookup, whiteboards, etc.

If there wasn’t a need for more and more rooms in a college, they wouldn’t get built. It’s not some conspiracy.
Why would this be specifically reflected in Jan travel, as opposed to other reasons, e.g. traveling to enjoy warmer weather? Or a non lockdown state in the current situation?

I can testify that these RNNoise-based methods work quite well at removing background noise, including keyboard clacking, even while talking and typing at the same time.
> the meme is not that actual ability and self-assessment are negatively correlated

I don't think there's a single DK meme, but I do think that this is a common DK meme.

Somewhat-serious suggestion: maybe people who actually understand DK, have a tendency to underestimate how well they understand it relative to everyone else, and so assume that everyone else understands it about as well as they do.
Possibly, but the chances of it happening are very very small, even with adequate funding.

Seth Shostak's podcast - http://radio.seti.org/ . Highly recommended ;-)
What kind of stuff are you building?

I do have that problem to some extent myself. Sometimes building something really shows you new insight into a problem or system, but other times it ends up being 90% drudge work of the "accidental complexity" variety.

One approach to mitigate it is to try to find a lightweight prototyping process you can use, where you still actually write functioning code, but hopefully in a way that's less constraining. This is particularly useful if your "real" code is tied up in frameworks and Enterprisey architecture, which tend to be hard-to-steer ships.

Many parts of the Lisp and Python communities consider ease of open-ended, exploratory programming one of their main goals, so you might find something useful there. Prototyping the core ideas in some simpler way can also help; e.g. a lot of game designers will test out mechanics ideas by building little 2d demos where triangles interact with squares, even if the real game isn't going to look like a 2d abstract game.
It's not about respect, it's about marketing to your target customer.

Consider the problem from the perspective of the global poor, who have a few different "target customers" from which they can solicit funds.

From this perspective, it's not particularly helpful for CNN to run a story about a walmart cashier giving $5 to the Salvation Army, because even in the best of all possible worlds (let's say 100% of walmart cashiers see the story, and there's a 100% conversion rate, so all of them donate $5!), it's just not that much money. Walmart employs about 2M people - best of all worlds, that $5/each amounts to $10M. That's nice and all, but it doesn't move the needle.

Conversely, if all the "fawning" over Tim Cook, Buffett, Gates etc. gets just one more billionaire to donate his/her wealth, the impact on global poverty is just thousands to millions of times larger than that.

It boils down to what it is that you're trying to accomplish: are you trying to get more money devoted to helping the poor, or are you trying to adjust allocation of social status so that it flows toward people who have altruistic attitudes (regardless of their ability to deliver)?

I'm fortunate not to be living at under $1/day, but if I were, I know which one I'd pick.
The sentence "games are not copyrightable" isn't particularly meaningful. That does not inform what is or is not protected. The link in question does not say that games are not protected. It says, and I quote, "Copyright does not protect the idea for a game". Keyword: idea. The idea is not protected. The expression is.

What is a game if not an expression of an idea? I would not call the idea for a game a game. I would call the expression of an idea a game. Therefore I would consider games protected by copyright. At least in casual conversation. When speaking in legal terms there is a lot more nuance.

On one hand you can say that games are not protected. Tetris however is. And has successfully been defended us such in court. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/06/defining-tetris-how-co...

If you re-created Mario 64 from scratch but art swapped every asset with something original you would get bitchslapped in court. Hard. The layout and configuration of levels is not an idea. It's an expression of an idea. If you want to make a different level using different assets but using the same mechanics of Mario 64 then that is probably acceptable. You're making your own expression.

It does get a little tricky if you start copying the physics of Mario 64 precisely. There are lots of platformers. Why copy the exactly moveset from Mario 64? Why meticulously reverse engineer the physics of jumping from Mario 64? Copy too much and you run risk of losing a copyright suit as demonstrated by Tetris.
This should sound like a ridiculous set of "positives", but it doesn't. Instead, I'm thinking--when you put it that way, Ballmer certainly wasn't the worst they could have done. Not by far.
Except, you know, Windows Defender in Windows Vista, 7, and 8 (now includes AV too).
So SourceForge downloads are becoming as bad as Cnet? Even the once-reputable members of the download hosting industry seem to be heading towards a rather unfortunate Nash equilibrium... Hopefully Github can sustain their model without it.
Let's not forget about the awesome tooling that is available and actively development for JS web development (yes, Yeoman).
A non-crappy enterprise mobile option alone (basically Blackberry 2013) would be a $100b business. Neither Android nor iOS is that out of the box, and the bolt-on ecosystem of crap doesn't turn either into as good a system as RIM was in its heyday.

Look what phone DIRNSA uses today: a Blackberry.

I'd sell non-core assets (Xbox, Bing, hotmail, consumer stuff in general, etc.), and focus on the core OS/mobile/Azure/Office/MSDN systems.
This comment deserves a book.
That's why I think it's erroneous. It presupposes that a mind could know a truth. In this case it is the truth that the mind alone is sure to exist.

IIRC you can complain (either on uber or uber eats) that the driver didn't look like their photo. It might be from that. Not sure how else they can get the info
Same here. Most of the taxi drivers in the city where I live only take cash, and every time I have ridden with one, they have cheated and taken a detour.

Uber, automatic payment by card and no cheating on the route.
What bothers me about the idea of an ancestor simulation is the suggestion that a computer which exists inside the universe could simulate the universe with enough fidelity that it could actually serve as a useful ancestor simulation. An ancestor simulation seems to be a contradiction, like a box that contains itself within.
So you want a false sense of "security" and "certainty" instead of reality. You're basically insane.
But that s what fb is already doing. They have a long term agreement with zynga to use fb credits exclusively, and they are extending that exclusivity to all developers starting this July
rsync isn't bidirectional (see unison: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/), but it can be hacked on to make it store snapshots (see http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/, but it's a full volume snapshot, not a per-file versioned history).
I have a simple rule when it comes to this stuff. Liquidate the founders out of a years worth of projected profit if they stopped hiring right away. "Less than 20 million" could still be $15 million and when you've been grinding for a while sometimes you just want that damn sports car and cottage. Comes back to the fact that every additional dollar is worth less than the one before it. Throw some risk and 1x liquidation preferences and the founders have a really legit reason to just sell to Google for $20m and start something else.
By your argument, shouldn't you toss out 3/4 of your RAM?

You should indeed test your code on a client-like machine, but for many if not most apps, building is much more demanding than running them. Developer time is expensive, so building on the fastest available machine is a good idea.
Having location services enabled and recording location history are two completely different things. A am very surprised more people are not concerned about this. Wonder if Microsoft or Google is doing the same thing on their phones.
That would only work if they open up the Ads API to work with any ad network. Otherwise it would basically kill any competition in the Android Ad space, which would probably lead to EU and US regulators coming down hard on Google.
I don't see how this has any bearing on functional programming jobs.
Interesting, just the other day I was listening to Joe Rogan's podcast with Dr.Rhonda Patrick (#459). If I recall correctly, they breifly discuss inflammation. She goes on to mention that elevated levels of "C-reactive protein" in the blood is used as a marker for inflammation. The podcast is worth a listen, they go into other topics such as nutrition, vitamins & minerals, etc. http://podcasts.joerogan.net/podcasts/dr-rhonda-patrick

If official* APIs come then they will probably come via ndk. It's been a while since I've heavily done Android dev but historically those APIs have lagged behind a lot. At one point there was a major push to catch them up but they were still pretty second class.

I'd still much rather use the standard SDK and kotlin and I absolutely adore rust.

*There are already unofficial ndk crates for rust.
I didn't find any information on ST4 beta, maybe you could create a web page for it so that it's easier for people to find all information about it. I don't generally run betas, but try to go native M1 as early as possible with all software.
Yes? And? General grades still correlate more strongly with consciensciousness than IQ.

And consciensciousness is actually negatively correlated with IQ.
It looks like they are, but there might be a minor issue in verifying the content: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/10476

But despite best efforts by the community to verify builds, Google and Apple can be forced to upload a malicious app to a particular user, meaning they aren't using the same app at all.
Matching your employees donations of time and money is a thing at many companies.

That's exactly what happened to someone I know who refused to work for an analogue of a three letter agency in Poland. This was 10+ years ago though, so it doesn't say anything about the current state of affairs.
