Ugh. PCR can have false negatives, but in a clinical setting they can do this really crazy thing called "looking at the patient" or "asking them how they feel." So, if they were clearly sick, as they would be before getting to the hospital and into Chloroquine treatment, and they got qualitatively better, that is a good indication that the PCR result is correct.

It's difficult to due true double blind random studies in these cases because doctors are there to give everyone the best chance at recovery, not to pick half of a group to potentially do worse.

Hopefully we can ethically do well design studies on controlled groups with moderate symptoms, but until then this imperfect clinical data is very interesting.
But the atomic clock is how they keep the throughput from crashing every time a corner case is encountered.

The problem with sample code is that I have no idea if you actually wrote it. Maybe you copied it from Google, maybe your friend "helped" you. I have no idea. When I'm first interviewing you, I have no idea how honest you are. The only way I know for sure that you wrote the code is if I watch you write it in front of me.

I really like Fizzbuzz because for someone who is a good programmer, whether they've ever seen it or not, they can do it in about two minutes, and then at least I can believe that their code sample is theirs.
If you take out the boat and house, sure. Most game developers I know working in the bay area don't make six figures.
Your knowledge of what can be extracted from server logs is a little bit out of date.

Aside from all the helpers other editors for code give, Notepad adds a BOM to the UTF-8 encoding, which can screw up html files and more.
I was going to point out that some robots will always incorporate industrial machinery that would require hearing protection but then I realized data centers are basically building-sized computers. Anachronisms have their place :).
Good point. Especially that stat, because it is so volatile. So much of the wealth is tied up in the value of companies or other complex things whose value is illiquid, and whose value can change quickly.

Still though, not like it's going to go to 50/50, 70/30, or some less-eye-popping number anytime soon.
>Depending on the role, that might be perfect, or you might be looking for the exact opposite.

I'd be really interested in learning if the amount of technical debt that we don't ever have to pay off is rising (because product lifetimes are shorter, performance is going up, and libraries reduce the total code you write).
I mean that was 40+ years ago, all the leadership who ran the company like that are either long retired or passed away.

Atari is now just a trademark that gets sold left and right. I don't know why this is happening but no one from the 80s is making this call. Those people went from cradle to grave engaging in anti-worker action and giving into the worst and most perverse incentives capitalism has to offer. They retired wealthy and all of this awfulness paid off. This is why modern video companies are run similarly. As a dev or artist, you're not getting ownership either. You're work for hire and will be treated as such.

The division asking for this author is Atari XP, which sells rare and unreleased games, which is most likely looking for this author because this might have a copyright claim. The profit incentive drives this question, not any sort of altruism. Atari XP doesn't know the contract signed by this person and Atari and if they try to release this game commercially they could be sued if they infringe on his rights. If there's no contract at all, then this author would probably have the full life of copyright on their side.

If this person is found and also found to not have a claim, then this game will be released with the creator getting nothing that isn't specified in the contract. This is not done for the love of old video games, but to create and maximize profit. Doing things like this is how the leadership of Atari XP got there and maintain their position there and how they will advance their careers past it.

The author remaining anonymous stops Atari XP from monetizing this old work and might be intentional to keep this game from being published. If published it will enrich some company they havent had a relationship with in decades and most likely don't care for (Atari ex employees seem very bitter about their time there).

Or considering this person has never spoken up all this time all this time, perhaps they passed away long ago, well before most of HN was even born. The hypothesized copyright would move to their heirs, who may be entirely unaware they own this game.
I would definitely not risk using this thing ever. The world is going insane.
I think I prefer it (first example) to the diff (second), it's just that a singular thing imported is such a common case that three lines for it where it so easily fits on one does seem a bit silly.

The grid is a tiny fraction of our economy but the economy is extremely dependent on it. Ensuring the Texas grid could survive a winter storm costs less than 1% as much as even a single large scale blackout in cold weather. The difference is simply who needs to pay.

Grid operators only see the costs they don’t see the benefits thus an inefficient allocation of resources is guaranteed.
This sounds like ABD but avoiding the read round trip as long as the register can be modeled with a CRDT. It's interesting to see this applied to a metadata portion of an object storage system. I'm sure this has implications on how rich of storage APIs you can offer. Can you do conditional writes? Can old versions of a register be compacted to reduce metadata space? How does garbage collecting dead blobs work?

It would be helpful to see specific goals of the project laid out, especially since this bucks the trend of being an enterprise/production grade object storage service (and that's totally ok).

Maybe in the later empire? The Romans might not have had their own cavalry but they used mercenaries heavily [1]. From what I remember of the Roman history podcast, many of Caesar's battles were won entirely by judicious use of cavalry.

No, not really. More of a statement on how out of touch with reality it seems first world inhabitants are, to the point where they think not having a guaranteed well-paying job or not being as rich as their parents is comparable to the kind of life Hobbes was thinking of when he coined that idiom.
With a lot of large independent subsidiaries, the main company CEO’s decision is firing and hiring the subsidiary CEO and not a whole lot more. The parent company’s management often doesn’t have the bandwidth to get deeply involved so will just veto major decisions.

I can't help but wonder. Anyone watching the political scene over the past years knew a tipping point is very much at hand. It just was not clear whether it will be BLM, Antifa, Bogaloos, or Trump disciples.

The fact that something this big was ignored suggests that it was from beginning seen as not a threat ( Trump being known for 'big talk, no action' ). Alternatively, if one is inclined to think along darker lines, this was allowed to happen for whatever reason.
All statements are true, except for where they're mutually exclusive:

For both the Trumpist Insurrection and the BLM protests, some people were intending a peaceful march, some were intending a riot, and some were even intending or hoping for violence.

However, where the Trumpist Insurrection differs was the (small?) portion that intended a "revolution," to quote one Elisabeth from Knoxville. The most extreme form of BLM seemed to be the CHOP, which may have wished for an autonomous zone, but not a revolution.
The US put all kinds of barriers in the way of Japanese car manufacturers and was still beaten to a pulp.
That's true re: moderation. I guess I'm more curious about the fact that Google/Apple have an effective monopoly on "app stores". I need to read the details but what were the exact violations that caused Parler to be removed? Can they be reinstated if they resolve the issue? The timing is what feels suspicious and politically motivated.

Yes, but I'm not a miner. Coal is much less dangerous for those who live near the power plant.
I had the same experience when I tried it about 7 or 8 years ago. When I finally decided to stop (after about 2 months on Uberman) I crashed for about 14 hours straight, and was still oversleeping/catching up every night for about a week afterwards.
Of course it would be based on concentrations - but no one is announcing what that is, nor do they seem to really be able to get a clear idea of it - because it's not contained and therefore not accurately measurable.
I feel like the culture of HN encourages people to be relatively open to their identities (probably because its small enough to where anyone can reasonably use it as their soapbox).

"Snark" is one thing (enough people are rude in this industry no matter what the medium), what I'm more concerned about are the things like the death threats, or just outright racism and bigotry out there. The really vile stuff. That needs to get stopped

Fair point. Sorry if I overstepped.
There are also many different ways that people pronounce -> and =>, although it might vary depending on programming language.
It has nothing to with where the 'hinge' is. '/' is just 'slash'; it's the only one that existed before computers. '\' was invented so you could write the mathematical symbols for 'and' and 'or' as /\ and \/. Since it is a backwards version of the slash, it was named 'backslash,' and 'forward slash' later came about in analogy with 'backslash.'

In one sense I think that any of the copyright (or IP generally) discussions on HN are superfluous. We've said what we have to say a dozen times.

OTOH, I kind of feel like these are deep issues that need time and repeated debate to fully digest. The idea of property is itself an manmade invention and it some self self evident truth that property should be defined one way or another. I think that example like this do go back to a crucial part of property's definition: control & exclusion.

Without exclusion rights, I think it's hard to call something a property right.
No, whether people finance with equity capital has no bearing on whether markets are fair or efficient.

People finance with VC money when there is not even usually a market.

People who want capital have little choice, they have to pay the ridiculous fees and have it traded in the existing market. But they don;t really care about the non competitive cartel of investment banks anyway, as running a public company means you can pay your self almost unlimited amounts of the shareholders money anyway. Whats not to like? Who cares if the market is efficient?
It's not the fact they invest in manufacturing, it's the size of the investment compared to company size/assets.

Looking at how expensive this gigafactory is - how many years will it take before profits from selling li-ion batteries cover the equipment & construction costs?

Some projections say peak output is expected by 2019-2021.
Doesn't this imply that today's technology will still be competitive and in demand 6-7 years from now?

I'm assuming gigafactory uses chemicals and tech that powers current generation of Tesla cars. Because if they had something significantly better they would not care about 2019, but would instead die to get it to market ASAP. Not caring about unit price or volumes. Just to prove that it works and to capture the high end market.

And my second assumption is they don't plan to lose money on this project.
Excellent work! Oh, the times I've wished for something like Django REST Framework in Flask but was too busy and/or lazy to implement it myself. Thank you!

For those unfamiliar with Django REST Framework, please go take a look. One of the few, perhaps the only, web framework to take all (or maybe almost all) of Fielding's ideas behind REST seriously. This is more than just theoretical -- once you've created a client application that takes full advantage of a HATEOAS API, you'll understand that it's much more than an annoying acronym.
I think they are paranoid and have a blank check budget. But I don't think they are competent. If they were competent then they would know that no serious threats will be discussed in world of Warcraft or over yahoo messenger. The supposed enemy in the shadow is at least smart enough to know better. If they aren't, then they aren't smart enough to warrant the invasion if basically everyone's privacy. It just doesn't add up to me. If we are fighting super technical enemies, we must assume they are smart enough to not use basic, consumer grade chat. If they are not technically capable enough to know better than to use something like yahoo, then just send them an email with Sub7 in it. Either way, spending billions of dollars of my money to watch some millionaire banker sext with his secretary is a waste of money and of time.

"I think our job listings are quite fair and free of 'startup' phrases."

Just looked at your "Lead Engineer" listing. It says: "We offer a great startup work environment with free beer, snacks, and friendly teammates." That sounds more like a typical startup that expects people to work there for the fun experience than a workplace that wants to attract highly-paid professionals.

And the offer of free beer makes it sound like a frat party. Maybe that's a turn-off to women who don't want to work in a place full of drunken guys. Maybe it's a turn-off to guys who want to have a life outside of work. Skip the free beer and make sure your employees have enough free time after work to get a beer outside if they want to.
Thanks , that's a great answer, for a complex question.
Thanks for the feedback! We do actively recruit outside the NYC area, but could probably ramp this up somewhat (admittedly, recruiting is not my favorite part of the job).

We avoided listing our tech stack because people frequently read it as a requirement, but I think you're right. Will add it soon.

We aggressively recruit on LinkedIn, GitHub, Stack Overflow, and AngelList, but the majority of our qualified applicants have actually come through my network and Hacker News. I'm trying to expand this though, particularly because I want to avoid building a mirror image engineering team (young, white, males in their 20s).

Considering that it included a larger and more diverse sample across 12 countries, it may be that the original studies which couldn't be supported were valid but not widely applicable beyond a specific population, or that the results represent a change in how people act from the time of the studies (One of them was an effect based on seeing an American Flag, and I can see how that might have changed).
So we ought to start considering whether those things should be permissible by default in browsers.

It used to be that sites could inspect the clipboard until we realised how bad for security that was. Perhaps mouse movement and/or timing information should be something that isn't allowed by default without granting the site additional permissions. Perhaps browsers could be set to stop sending many of the headers they currently send by default, or send approximations to reduce the uniqueness of the headers.
Of course it lets you through, it can't check that (at that time)

But it doesn't mean you're the only one that got that sample. So they pick the most "popular" answer

Yeah, I agree to enforcing the violation of ToS. I was writing for the DMCA take down notice for the possibility of illegal file sharing via dropship. (as mentioned by arash/drew in comments.)

I am actually curious to know what ToS were violated (based on which Dropbox decided to take the action), except that I have not read about the real reason on either the Original Article or the discussion on HN.

Can Drew/Arash clarify what Terms were being violated actually by dropship?

One-on-One chat windows, Group Rooms - the representation itself is very similar in most messengers. People wouldn't care about having multiple messengers installed if they only need to thumb one launcher icon. I think "non-agenda" oriented platforms like Signal and Matrix would be in a position to allow for such interfaces to be called up from.

As with mail desktop app interfaces, chat-window design patterns have solidified on handhelds.

I read about Beeper and am eager to learn about its inner workings, but what about platform support that the messenger Apps can open up to?

CME refers to coronal mass ejections[1]. The 1859 Carrington Event is a case where one of these happened[2].

The US power grid is susceptible to some real damage from one of these. It would take a long time to fix.
