I’ll take “headlines you would never see in 1990 for 800, Alex”. :)

Sadly, even today, using a PC laptop, the process is something like this:

1. Open lid and start work. Actually no, the battery managed to drain itself again due to the power-inefficiency of the system; better go find a cord and plug it in first.

2. Open lid again and start work. Actually no, the fancy “resuming Windows” animation has appeared. Check back after several minutes.

3. Try to start work. Actually no, Windows has required updates and needs to install and reboot.

4. Try to start work. Actually no, the previous update was apparently just the first; Windows has to reboot again and install something else.

5. Repeat step 4 about 3 more times.

6. Try to start work. Actually no, “something” in the background isn’t done screwing with the machine yet so everything I click on is unresponsive.

7. Try to click on something. Damn it, I forgot the built-in track pad is garbage and half the time I accidentally click on things I don’t want. Let me go find a mouse and plug it in.

8. Try to start work. Oh right, even the simplest applications take inexplicably 30 seconds to launch on a “modern” computer.

9. Begin work, probably an hour later.

This happens literally every couple of weeks but usually more often. Fortunately I only have the machine because I occasionally have to sync my development to compile with Visual Studio and so the entire system is mostly a distraction.

Meanwhile, on my main Mac machine, it’s virtually instantaneous to start working in all respects. Open the lid, the OS is READY and the apps are either already open or they restore nearly instantly. While the Mac can certainly have restart-worthy updates, it’s way smarter about this and I always retain FULL CONTROL over the process (including the “let the message sit there forever until my work is done” option). And that’s before I even start listing the Unix tools, the awesomeness of "brew", reasonable terminal emulation, etc.
Anyone else having DNS issues today?
So far I've encountered this across Google, Twitter, github, and even very shortly, AWS - others?
You are missing something vital. The First Amendment guarantees that the government cannot restrict speech, free association, etc. Homeowners associations are not the government. They are private organizations. You generally agree to follow their rules as part of the contract you sign when purchasing the property.
It's not wasted. This is important.

> companies simply can't get back to each and every person

Honestly, that's nonsense.

Send out a terse, automated email to everyone who applied and was not selected. It could just be something like:

"This job posting has been closed and , unfortunately, you were not selected as a finalist. Thank you for applying. We will keep your application on file for 60 days if there is a similar opening."

I would love to get useful feedback from an actual human, but I know that interviewer time is expensive and companies are worried about liability[1]. However, an automated email pulled from an applicant-tracking database is literally the least a company could do and is essentially free.

If they make it to an on-campus interview, having a real live person copy and paste an email also adds maybe ~$2 to a day that's already costing the company thousands.

[1] Everyone says this, but I've never actually seen a court case where a) the company provided reasonable feedback and b) was sued nevertheless.
If the ISP were held responsible by contract, the ISP could either transfer that responsibility as described above or they could just filter their outbound a little harder. The latter solution seems more practical.

Okay, good point. I read your comment wrong - thanks for clarifying!

Most Manhattan buildings are large and have many units. If you rent out your apartment a few times a year, how is this fair to your neighbors, who pay the same rent and never agreed to have a bunch of transient guests in the building?

I lived in a Manhattan rental building with a fair amount of AirBNB activity going on -- on any given weekend it seemed like at least one unit on my floor was being rented out. Many of the younger guests were completely obnoxious and disrespectful to common areas. This is an extreme example, but someone even urinated in the stairwell once. And this was a "luxury" building with a well-above-average rental cost.

Of course, renting out your place on AirBNB was against the terms of the lease, but it seemed like the management company never enforced this... which makes sense when you consider how hard/expensive it is to prove, and then evict someone, especially when they're a tenant who pays exorbitant rent on time.
Ask HN: Dealing with a website rip-off in 2016?
I saw some referral traffic today from a site that is trying to clone ours, even so far as replacing our company's name in screenshots of our website. It looks like they're located in the same state as us (California).

Has this happened to you? What course of action is recommended for this sort of thing these days?

It doesn't really seem worth talking to a lawyer about as it's not like they're taking any traffic away from us or have really built out any of our software, it just feels really slimy. I guess my current thought is just to ignore it, but I thought I'd also ask if anyone else has dealt with this kind of thing.

Apple Approached Time Warner About Possible Merger Before AT&T Talks
I didn't want to be obviously derisive in my post. The two companies in question were obviously stroking their own egos.

They didn't have an actual need for someone and it was all about how many/what type of degrees someone had and from where before they'd even consider looking at a candidate. In one of the cases, when the company did actually hire a person, that person had no work to do -- it was purely a means to justify their ask to investors for more money. We hire the best people!
My opinion: If you do a phone screen with someone in a more or less 1on1 kind of setting and they can't tell you whether you passed that stage within an hour, their organization must be dysfunctional (they have the job of conducting the interview but not the authority to pass/fail you?) and, therefore, absolutely not worth working for.

The only lengthy part of the "interviewing" should be the negotiation, and by that point you are actually already kind of hired. Unless you blow it.

Things will be longer the bigger the company is because they have to involve legal and all this stupidity, but early stage YC companies don't get the benefit of the doubt here.

There's this hubris of cultural fit, which is code for "is this guy conformist enough that we can give him an arms length of desk space next to another 50 developers without him flipping?". Its true, cultural fit is super important. But that's at least in part due to the insanity that is software engineer working conditions. Give your people actual offices to perform actual work in and all your culture issues will vanish.
Homeowners associations aren't the government, you technically agree to join them when you buy the house. It's "free exchange of goods and services" - quotes to indicate that it really isn't but in the government's eyes it's fine. Social coercion is a powerful force, the same that produces many odd laws.
That is not an appropriate tone for someone representing OpenDNS to take.
False. There is async/await, or generators. Its ES5 that is bad, not JavaScript.

There's more strapping with earthquake straps I imagine.

I was talking to a lady /u/sixup on reddit about her (excellent) Tiny House in Vancouver. She was thinking of getting these blocks of rubber inter-dispersed with thin plates of steel. This would go under her house and hold it upright. Earthquakes wouldn't do anything to such a house, and it's not expensive. So if you're worried about that and can lift your house, I'd do it.

Loved your anecdote and this culture is at least somewhat common in my home country.

That said, I'm not convinced that sexuality on its own is damaging either. I'm not sure if you implied that with the second half of your statement/the nudity vs sexual distinction.
I would generally suggest if you think something major is going on that you check the top ten on the front page (which contains not one, but two submissions relating to this phenomena) before submitting. :)
I find it interesting that the author doesn't mention anything about the product as priority during his job search. No mention of tech stack, product-market-fit, growth potential, or being convinced that a product is filling a genuine need. These are the things that I would prioritize when considering a job search. The author mentions as a priority responsiveness of the recruiter. Also:

- How nice are the employees?
- What’s the vibe in the office? Noisy? Quiet?
- Do employees look happy?
- How’s the food?
- and so on and so on…

Is this typical?
I think we all gravitate to the places with decent cell coverage and/or WiFi, whether in our own houses or out and about.
> If government can tell you who can stay with you, regardless of any private transactions or agreements you make with that person, then government has more authority over your living space than you do.

Fire marshals have limited the amount of people you can have in a particular building for more than a hundred years.

I don't know the rationale in this case, but there are very good rationales for government to have more control of your house than you do in some instances. Mandatory fire suppression systems can end up saving not just your apt unit, but your whole neighborhood.
> I suspect we centralized trust at the encouragement of folks like the NSA and similar ilk.

In the mid-90's, CA certs were put into Netscape Navigator (IE joined later) in order to facilitate the new wild wacky concept that someone might buy something online. They called it "e-commerce".

Trust was centralized because it was far easier to add the then ~half-dozen CA's rather then somehow vetting every joe that wanted to self-sign their certs. PGP's web-of-trust existed but it was deemed less viable.

Besides, the whole SSL certs thing was a major business premise behind creating Netscape - profits. Without that there might not have been a dot-com and the huge amount of money that followed since then.
This is definitely an area the Feds have been stepping up enforcement of lately. A good search to get started is something like "ed.gov ocr settlement".

I don't think that we should excuse this behavior just because it's common. We push back against this pretty hard at Triplebyte. I can also say (having run a huge number of interviews over that last year) that getting a personal, honest email to every candidate is just a matter of making it part of the process. Writing an email takes a small fraction of the time of doing an interview.
We save you the time of repeated technical phone screens across companies. Companies will do a pitch call with our candidates as the first step, where they pitch themselves to you and after that you decide if you'd like to move forward with them.

All hail LISP.

My main problem with LISP is that I stopped liking Python after learning it.
I don't think anyone is disagreeing with that. The question is, as it often is, about the collateral damage.
To be perfectly honest, a "feature" like this has no business being in a safe and secure DNS server. You should fail-safe, rather than serving stale data of unknown safety.

Serving data you cannot verify is a dangerous failure state.
I mean, they are very small compared to deeply entrenched NIMBY housing politics and the hotel lobby.
You don't have to use Java on Android and you don't have to use Objective C or Swift on iOS. You're heavily corralled towards them, but there are still other options.

Agreed--government playing whack-a-mole again with regulation. Instead, perhaps the regulations governing construction of buildings, zoning, etc are a problem because they inhibit construction that could meet market demand.

> Prop 13 creates an incentive for homeowners to oppose development, since their housing values will rise with no drawback on property taxes.

That is not necessarily true - increased development is sold at modern-day prices, pushing every homeowner's holy metric - $/sq.ft. - up. It's also taxed at modern-day prices, leading to municipal revenue increases.

I was using this screenshot of downtown LA to illustrate a similar point on a Facebook group - https://www.evernote.com/shard/s103/sh/11bfc9c3-6500-401b-87... - the amount of residential square footage in LA built over the past years is immense, and some other mega-complexes are sold out while still being built.

Increased vertical development brings more residents, which require more services (bars, restaurants, stores, coffee shops). The average $/sq.ft. only went up while DTLA added crazy amount of housing.
It's extra work for the management company / Board, but one of the primary drivers is that all the people in the building don't want a constant stream of people moving in/out. Expanding it to minimum 12-month leases means less disruption to people living in the building.

You own your home. Government also has a duty to the well being of the people living around you. Zone laws prevent you from using your home to manufacture chemicals. Noise law prevents you from running musical concert day and night. You would expect your neighbors to obey the same laws to enjoy your peace and quiet at home.
Thanks, I had a few times when I was prompted to attach a file(s). I wonder if I should make it a single thing. CV leading the resume. What about cover letter too?

Yeah I have to look at some and put one together. Thanks.
* I have always seen homeowners associations as a grevious affront to the First Amendment. But apparently I am missing something vital or I am insane.*

The 1st refers to the government, not to housing communities to which you willingly moved. Don't like HOAs? Don't live in an HOA community. The government has no hand in this.
Agree with shortstuffsushi that this is just someone getting your domain name info and spamming you. It sadly happens all the time.

Go to http://whois.icann.org/en and enter your domain name and see what info is public about you. If all your info is public, you may want to see if your registrar offers "private" registration where your info does not appear in WHOIS.
Sounds very smart. How is that working out?
As long as property tax exists (your county will seize your home if you don't pay it) the concept of real estate ownership is pretty tenuous. I accept taxation in general but property taxes have always rubbed me the wrong way.
I think it's that Mac touchpads are really well integrated with the OS.

I could never used multiple desktop on Linux. But after one day on a MacBook Air (that a colleague lent me) it became my natural workflow.

The three-finger swipe on the touchpad that swipe between virtual desktop is awesome. I tried to replicate this on another OS, but sadly I failed.
Ah, because there are just oh so many "spare bedrooms" lying around NYC.
React, babel, webpack, redux, react-redux

Vue, babel, webpack, vuex (or redux and vue-redux).

There's hardly a significant difference in requirements.
Everything I've come to understand as a condo board president is that it is not "up in the air". Court cases have established precedent and we have reasonable by-laws. If we all collectively don't want it, we don't have to have it. Our lawyers tell us what we are doing is perfectly within our rights.
As someone who's spent the last 3 months living in AirBnB units and sublets in NYC and doesn't have any desire to commit to a year-long rental lease, this is disappointing.

AirBnB makes the market more efficient by increasing the supply of housing that otherwise wouldn't be available and provides more alternatives to signing a lease and wading through scams on Craigslist.

If NYC is serious about providing affordable housing, then this would at best be a temporary band-aid patch while they actually tackle the real problem - building more affordable housing. Of course the government isn't actually interested in solving the problem, so blaming AirBnB is more convenient.
It might help if you mention what you're doing.

I'm not even close to a prude about nudity, but I utterly reject that you may have any say about my attitude toward it.
Lets say a migrant population does in fact have some "dangerous idea" that the locals don't want.

How big does that migrant population need to be before they have a sizable enough voting majority? Do the couple thousand people who moved from SF to Oregon or Seattle really really have the voting numbers to sway politics that much?

It's the idea that's contagious, not the people. Disenfranchising transplants does not stop the idea. If you want to stop the idea, you need to offer something better (or prove why the idea is dangerous).
> Why should New Yorkers have to tolerate illegal hotels with arbitrary guests in such a densely packed city?

Would you have the same argument if it were just friends inviting friends over every week? If not, why does the money make it different?
If you want to have visitors over when you live in your house you're free to do so.

If you own a property and operate it as a hotel while not actually living in it you're violating the zoning laws that every business/hotel operation have to adhere to.

AirBnB's use of the word "sharing" is laughably liberal. By their standard if I'm running a convenience store I'm "sharing" my property with every customer who wanders in.
Could you open a new issue here (with a screenshot if possible)? https://github.com/unknown-horizons/unknown-horizons/issues

A while ago I got access to a mac, so we should be able to test things better now. Contributers come and go, I'm not even sure we have someone for macOS packages right now.

I'm not really using macOS, but I just tried the last release, and I think we might be having the same problems.

I'll try to test the current git version, since the last release was in 2014.
I didn't mean per user vs per system; in as much a per process image. ie: firefox can get out to *, but sandbox can not.

If you have never used something like Little Snitch on MacOS it is very surpassing to see all the outgoing connections from processes. It returns some control to the user to block cloud services, application dial home, etc.

Being able to interactively allow/deny access to resources (say via hostname or via IP) per connection per process (image?) is very valuable.

This is hard to do in linux. Several good solutions to do this in MacOS and Windows.
If you liked Razor's Edge I would highly recommend Maugham's magnus opus, Of Human Bondage. That book blew me away.
I'm forever torn on this. What can a non homeowner do to help the problem? I feel compelled to not buy into overpriced homes. But I'd also like one and fear they are only going to become more overpriced in the future.
If you're breaking your contract, that's something to be enforced by your landlord and the courts. Not something you need special laws to forbid.

Large corporations generally use JAMF Pro for managing fleets of Macs. It makes it pretty trivial compared to the hassles of using SCCM/SCOM for Windows desktops.

You can always use VNC to connect to a Mac, though that's not the best tool. If you're deploying and managing more than 10 or so Macs, the price for JAMF or other tools isn't an issue.
Airbnb is great because it allows people to circumvent stupid, expensive, and counterproductive government regulation on hotelling. Airbnbing is vastly superior to traditional hotelling per dollar spent.

This is what people are talking about when they refer to "common sense" regulation or regulation to "protect consumers"; they mean taking economic and social autonomy away from people. Even if a given bill doesn't cost much when amortized over tens of millions of people, they cost a lot to society as a whole, and they start to add up. I don't care what your political theory about regulation is; it is extremely apparent from comparing Airbnbs to hotels that, at least in this area, regulations have made society worse, not better. I hope Airbnb beats this.
Isn't "zoning" the primary reason why NYC real estate is so expensive in the first place? Controls that restrict the supply of housing is probably not a good thing if you're looking to make NYC real estate more affordable.
And yet there are millions of people using the Internet and we have to protect them with the army we have. I hope we'll see something like Marlinspike's Notaries becoming widespread in our lifetime, though.

Anyone know if this applies to two-family houses?

As far as I know, the Multiple Dwelling Law applies limits to 3 and 4-family homes, limiting specifically rentals that are less than 30 days.

Now, it seems that one and two-family homes are excluded?
If the "fast-paced, innovative future" includes petulant children stomping around mad because the big, bad government won't let them do whatever they want no matter the consequences to those around them, I'd say governments are more relevant than ever.
