It's pretty common knowledge. My grandfather, a German conscript in WWII, used to boast about how fucked up they got on amphetamines (stolen, prescribed) leading to psychosis to the point they were discharged and ordered to drive food supply trucks around instead. Lucky for him as he was in Italy and was a civilian when they surrendered.
Okaaaaayyy, but then it's you that's moving the goalposts. The part you quoted must be taken in the context of the rest of the comment.
Hey dang,

Thanks for getting back to me quickly yesterday and restoring my old hn name. I still seem to be unable to connect from my entire network, and I have gotten a few arbitrary upvotes, but no one has responded to any comment or submission since yesterday. Coupled with connectivity issues, would you mind double checking there is not a ri.ri.cox.net ip address that was banned at a software level, begins with 72 and ends with 48. Sorry to reply here, just trying to confirm if i am visible. Thanks for the reply yesterday, cheers.

i somehow am having traffic timeout to most cloudflare severs. Sorry to bother you again, you were super helpful. Going to try and figure this out or find a direct ip if it exists. Super fast, really pleasant response yesterday. Thanks again. I am def. visible.

Anyone remember YouTube Reactions? Died because no one used them.

Hell, even BuzzFeed, the pioneer of reaction culture, implemented Reactions but are slowly depreciating them.
People used hidden iframes as a fallback for browsers that did not support XMLHttpRequest, but not before XMLHttpRequest existed. XMLHttpRequest shipped with IE 5.0, which also happened to be the first browser where "DHTML" support was good enough that building anything resembling a modern web application was actually practical.
I'm sure the three letter agencies also love it. But as we know now, the agencies don't have to rely on extracting cookies from intercepted traffic in this particular case: Verizon will happily go above and beyond the call of duty and betray the trust the customers put into them.

Sure. People who are born into the middle class are certainly better off than people born into poverty. That still doesn't make them rich kids. Three of your factors are true for virtually everyone in America. One is pure luck unrelated from wealth. And the other two are just good parenting.

Tech is a very middle class profession. Much more middle class than most high paying professions like Medicine, Law, Executives, Consultants, Banking, etc.

And most people who would call someone a rich kid were born just as middle class (or even better).

You have to put the title of the article in Google and click on it there.
actually the european started this asking for help since they had the equipement for static test, but not the equipement to fool the defeating device into thinking it was actually on a road.
Excerpt:

Alphabet’s code doesn’t include that phrase. Instead, it says employees of Alphabet and its subsidiaries “should do the right thing – follow the law, act honorably, and treat each other with respect.”
lol XD
It also makes sense why there are less American PhD students in those kind of locations when you look from their perspective. If I were an American, there was no way for me to spend 5+ years of my life in mid-west with 1500K a month (instead, I could just lend to a top company in a good location with $$$$). But for most of the foreign nationals, such an experience is OK to bear with in return for a better life standard.

It's an aggressive strategy.

Apple is only blocking internet ads, not in-app ads, which makes it obvious that they're targeting content creators to push them to either Apple newsstand or iOS apps, where Apple gets a cut of the ads.

It's disappointing because Apple is using their mobile marketshare to attack and fragment the open web. Users either don't understand or don't care because they have cognitive bias towards ads to begin with - e.g. people only attribute negative ad experiences to ads, never good experiences (w/ few exceptions like the superbowl).
"Do the right thing" defined as “– follow the law, act honorably, and treat each other with respect,” just doesn't feel the same.

"Don't Be Evil" appeals to a force above the law, sometimes the law is evil (Nazi Germany).

"Do the right thing," implies there is a single right thing which is woefully out of touch with the vast array of choices we have each day that fall all along the moral spectrum. It's cliche; I have trouble not immediately writing it off.
Seems like they're starting off with this new statement on a sour note since half the major governments in the world are investigating them right now for violating antitrust law.
Everything has a cost - however much you're holding in cash you're effectively burning ~3% of that each year. How quickly do bills come due? If I lost my job tomorrow I could take a payment holiday on my mortgage (since I've made overpayments) and pay for food and the like with my credit card (and in my specific case as a contractor I'd have what I'd earned last month, but I appreciate that doesn't apply to everyone); I'd certainly have a few months' leeway to sell some stocks/bonds/whatever, and what you lose in a slump is less than what you gain during the boom period.

Good call! That's the only way of making them change their ways. It doesn't hurt to complain and sue them, either.
> that's a moderately stupid argument when it comes to juries (given that it assumes that everyone is actively seeking to avoid jury service, so the only people who actual serve are those who fail)

Overall, the problem is that the system bends to accommodate the judges and lawyers, who get paid very well to be there, and abuses the jurors, who do not. Why do I have get up at 6:00 AM just to sit around for three days while you idiots figure out if you need me or not? This isn't rocket science, and you all already have scheduled dockets.

The bigger problem with jury selection is that everything is trying to screen out people who bring in outside knowledge. This actively screens for the ignorant. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing, though. I suspect that it's a good thing overall as the number of times you get someone smart who recognizes a fault is probably far exceeded by the ignorant who think they know something false.
And the worst part is that Capitol Hill is one of the most open-minded and welcoming neighborhoods in Seattle.
Do the right thing is more ambiguous. Righteousness is in the eyes of the beholder.
And if you're in that situation then MMM isn't for you. People in that situation need a blog on how to earn more money, not one on how to spend less.

It's not posturing, it's fair warning.

Our adventures in the sandbox suggest your faith in our government's ability to suppress armed rebellion is grossly excessive. It also had a secure rear area. You're also assuming all the military will agree to this, despite what it'll cost them.

I'm not alluding to anything, I'm frankly stating that, if you and yours succeed in this effort, me and mine will start killing you and yours (assuming you're in the US, of course). And if you think we're limited to out "paltry weapons". you suffer from an extreme lack of imagination.

We've been debating this since at least the 30s, and I'm (not very) sorry to say that your side has decisively lost the debate. Sucks to be you, but in balance I like the result.
Follow which law? The EU law about preventing access to private data? The US law about permitting government agency access to data? The Chinese law about preventing access to certain opinions?
Hey there. My comment came off emotional; I'm not sorry for that, but I think my stance came across weakly.

I'm not saying there aren't very real issues that need to be addressed with manipulating human genetics. I've seen GATTACA too ;). The issues I had with the article (which I've since skimmed) are this (try to read it in a friendly tone...I'm emotionally invested in this, but I'm not irritated):

* The term "Eugenics" may be correct in this situation, but it's historically loaded with extremely negative baggage. It felt like click bait.

* Comparing disease removal by genetic manipulation to optional enhancements by genetic manipulation is unhelpful. One allows for the other, but that doesn't mean we must allow them as a pair.

* The wealth gap for this treatment is going to be no different from the wealth gap in any other new, expensive treatment we currently use. Poor people will still have less access to any expensive treatment, this isn't going to be different in any way. It's a problem, yes, but it's not specific to Genetic manipulation, it's specific to medicine.

* Our ability to screen people for genetic defects and decide if we want or don't want children is already excellent; I know I'm a carrier for Batten disease, my brother's killer. Had my wife also been a carrier I just wouldn't have had biological children. That's not Eugenics, that's sanity. Abortion of diseased embryos is a far more complex, but orthogonal moral issue which we've already been dealing with for a long time.

* Our legal system limits this sort of experimentation and it's terribly slow to change. Even autonomous cars, which are safer and less accident prone than humans, are going to take a long while to get approved. Saying we're on a slippery slope ignores how much regulation there is over this. I'd even argue what we're dealing with is a slippery slope uphill. Encouraging research into, and legalization of, genetic manipulation to cure fatal diseases is almost certainly not a slippery slope because of the legal structures we've build around such research.

The solution of just not performing research on classified subjects is. Any of these institutions could not compete for those contracts. UC chooses to do that with Top Secret contracts.
Panzer Candy aka Pervitin was used widely and the Allies also used stimulants.

Considering all we've learned in this saga about the industry in general and Volkswagen in particular, I would say it's more than likely that it had cheating software anyway.
Would just clicking on the "Like" button consider it as like or would the users have to hold press and select "Like"?

If someone has already selected "Wow", "Sad" or something similar, it perhaps would be useful to just click on the icon next to aggregation rather than doing the long-press behavior.

I suppose on the desktop site, perhaps mouseover may show the reactions.

I think overall it requires more effort on the user's part as opposed to just clicking on the like button and moving on. Which perhaps was the reason for the like button's initial success.
Jared is such a great guy. I remember emailing/talking to him when I was applying for an internship and he had great advice and cared a lot for me.
Well, if Google purports to uphold the law, all of the above. It has to operate legally in every country it wants to do business. In this case, I was speaking of antitrust though, where Google has used contracts that cross the line to exert control over the industry.
The article I linked to has a section on Australia; here's an excerpt:

Evaluations after the reforms suggest that they saved lives. A study by Andrew Leigh of Australian National University and Christine Neill of Wilfrid Laurier University estimated that buying back 3,500 guns per 100,000 people led to a statistically significant drop in firearm suicides — 74 percent, in fact, with no parallel increase in non-firearm suicides. ...

The results on homicides were a little less clear. Leigh and Neill found that the buyback resulted in a 35 to 50 percent decline in the gun homicide rate, but because of the low number of homicides in Australia normally, this change wasn't statistically significant

I don't have the numbers for Austrialia, but from the same article:

Nearly two-thirds of gun deaths in the US are suicides

If the proportion in Autralia are similar, reducing gun suicides, if not homicides, could save many lives.

That is precisely why a lot of us pursue STEM degrees - it is easier to immigrate with a STEM degree, and the job market is favorable.

How is that an anti-immigrant statement?

If anything, it indicates that many immigrants are deeply pragmatic, which is a compliment.
See, this is why I can never believe anyone when they try to justify executive level compensation. They always say it's cause the executives are "taking risk" and "responsible for the company." And when things are going well, they're quick to take credit. But when stuff like this goes on, suddenly the CEO still gets his golden parachute, and none of the remaining executives know what's going on.
I don't know of any ISPs that are currently MITMing HTTPS. That seems like something that would be big news and get a CA revoked. Do you have a source for that?
It's not just "a company", it's many companies. They're injecting this header into every request you make which is visible to the servers you connect to.

> Like NASA, auto companies like VW produce a TON of documentation on all phases of design and engineering. This is especially true when it comes to regulation-sensitive processes like emissions testing.

Bingo! A lot of HN is acting like "it could slip through the processes we have at work so I can see how it could happen here" without realising that the processes, documentation, and independent review requirements are 100x more involved and thorough for critical car firmware than they are for a basic software shop.
A few people have attempted to use the systemd documentation to create a reimplementation. Bearing in mind that the task is complex and largely thankless, all the folks making attempts that I've heard about have reported that the available documentation does not provide enough information to complete such a task.

Note: I KNOW that documentation is seriously hard. But, one of the rebuttals of the "Systemd is complex and monolithic" assertion is "Systemd is fully documented, so you can replace any part of it with one that you've authored.". You can't honestly make that rebuttal if the state of your documentation doesn't support your claim.
Well, in fairness, the developers are honest about it. But they perhaps do not make it as obvious they should, and a lot of people are fooled (I'd cynically argue to the benefit of the systemd developers).

He didn't disclose anything. Edward Snowden did. Continuing to pretend that certain things are secret when they aren't is pure nonsense. The national security apparatus is forcing its members to do so as a form of hazing -- making them act in a silly fashion as an ostentatious display of obedience.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't "Don't be evil" the same? Not official, but respected?
That's not how it works. What your opinion is or even your lawyer's opinion is just an opinion. Ultimately someone can bring a case in a court and it's decided then. You can advance your legal theory as to why it is allowed, and it may be a sufficient defense, or it may not. There is no a priori certainty in these things... the closest you might get is precedent.

The jocular saying is that, in England, "everything which is not forbidden is allowed", while, in Germany, the opposite applies, so "everything which is not allowed is forbidden". This may be extended to France — "everything is allowed even if it is forbidden" — and Russia where "everything is forbidden, even that which is expressly allowed". While in North Korea it is said that "everything that is not forbidden is compulsory"
perhaps 2 people who were intentionally intending to mislead. the software engineers could have been told the software was for factory testing only and it would have been their job to produce it. The actual program itself was not illegal just the fact that it was used to mislead official testing.

This ain't no 'independent contractors on the Death Star' issue here.
Absolutely, you don't precisely robotically assemble millions of vehicles without a little engineering and technology getting involved.
Can I come work for you?
Such kind of stuff should really support something very simple. I.e. upload a file through a Web form, and get some result.
Correct! Because of increased trade low skill workers in rich and poor countries more and more compete for the same work. This raises the value of low skilled workers in poor countries where their incomes gone way up but lowers their value in rich countries where their incomes have stagnated.

In my opinion this is a clearly a good thing as their are many more low skilled people in poor countries and they are much much poorer. So a few hundred million forego raises to lift more than a billion out of abject poverty. Seems like good deal.
My experience was the same as yours. Frankly I've never lived anywhere where I felt like I made more beyond the surface connections with people than the Seattle area. I never experienced any hostility for being in the software industry, nor any for being an outsider not from the pnw. IMO Seattle has something that I've missed since leaving quite a lot - a high % of thoughtful, intelligent, down to earth people.
Google buys abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.com because Alphabet
“should do the right thing – follow the law, act honorably, and treat each other with respect.”

I actually hope the latter part is to be seen as examples of the spirit of the first part rather than a definition. Where a company of grand designs and power, like Alphabet, is concerned there may easily come times when a the version needed would read more like “follow the law, unless the law codifies immoral action”

If rebellion or change is what you really want to affect, then you would be better served to look into how Gandhi managed to win against overwhelming odds, rather than whatever hollywood(?) fantasy you envision living out.

Yeah, I have guns just like I have other tools and toys. But I don't have the same chip on my shoulder.

> Most people do spend large amounts of their paycheck on things they don't need.

Maybe. Or maybe they're spending their paycheck on things that they do need because they have to work for a living, they can't live by renting out their assets like MMM can. Example from the other branch: MMM can say "buy a bike instead of a new car" because he had the privilege of putting his "job" (rental properties) as close as he liked to his house. Most people don't have that option.
