More on topic than my other comment: Software is one of the most lucrative industries (by OCC major group, computer and math occupations are third after legal and management. source: https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm) to be in (and imo one of the most comfortable). If there is some part of our society or culture that causes any demographic to have less opportunity than they would otherwise in this field then this is not fair.

You draw comparisons to several industries which I think is not a reasonable argument, being as they are not as lucrative and imo not as desirable.

From another perspective; If we're willing to make an imo very fair assumption that inherent demographics have no affect on scientific ability (inherent meaning being e.g., a woman versus a non-inherent demographic such as e.g., people that don't like math), then a culture that broadly discourages people that would otherwise go into science from doing so will decrease the average ability in the sciences (unless that discouragement affects only those of lower ability than the average for that demographic in which case it would increase the average ability?)
I guess I'll be the first to deliver negative feedback.

Technically, it's well-designed. It's a fine-looking product that is easy and compelling to use. The key-point summary is a good feature. That's all granted.

However, I think this is a bad product to build. The past weeks and months have shown us that we probably need more long-form content and less short-form content, where the loss of details robs us of important nuances. Just reading the headlines -- and that is what this product allows you to do very efficiently -- does not necessarily make the user better-informed, but it dangerously gives the user the probably-false impression that they are now actually informed.

I would encourage you to think not just about the problems you would like your product to solve, but also the problems that your product might contribute to.

Those are mild examples compared to the trend that started with, IIRC, Top Gun, where the US millitary trades use of millitary assets as props in return for the "right" spin being put on the movie.
Most have no comments/less than 5 points or only happen to contain the word "general". Many are simply asking questions such as "what does GAI mean?" and "is it possible at all?". You can count that as hype if you want, I guess.

Could you please expand "DnD"? It is not obvious to me

You seem to be confusing branding and product naming.

Pixel is a brand name for high-end reference-type devices designed and built by Google, such as the Chromebook Pixel, Pixel C, and Pixel phone.

Nexus is (was?) a brand name for low-cost reference-type devices designed and built in collaboration with hardware manufacturers, such as the Nexus 5, Nexus 7 and (odd) Nexus Q.

Android is a mobile operating system used on platforms such as phones, tablets, cars, and as of a few weeks ago, IoT devices.

Chrome is an overarching brand name for various web-centric things Google is doing: Chromium is the browser. Chrome OS is a version of Linux strictly limited to providing a web browser paradigm-based user experience for computers. Chromebooks are a class of low-cost laptops that use Chrome OS. Chrome_cast_ is a brand name for streaming content to unconnected devices such as TVs and speakers by way of microcomputing devices such as the Chromecast Ultra or Chromecast Audio (which all run a stripped down Chromium under the hood).

All things considered, for a company as large as Google, I don't think it's really all that hard to comprehend. I think it's pretty consistent, and they try to fit as much as they can into the above set of brands when they can. For instance, Android Things used to be called Brillo. It feels a lot simpler than how eg. Microsoft used to do naming up until a few years ago. Calling for "whomever is responsible" to be "let go" certainly feels hyperbolic.
Interestingly, the tweet (https://twitter.com/APompliano/status/639097166405853184) mentioned by Techcrunch (https://techcrunch.com/2015/09/02/snapchat-hires-a-new-growt...) doesn't exist anymore.
I wouldn't mind paying for YouTube Red, because despite all their issues, it is a great platform for content still (despite Google's greatest efforts to undo that). I also wouldn't mind doing that if actually kept their stuff up-to-date with the software and hardware of the device it's running on (in my case the 13" iPad Pro - where it took them like 8 months to add native resolution support).

Oh and the small little irrelevant detail that they don't let me: unfortunately I happen to live in Europe, so that means that I'm not allowed by Google to enjoy those features by giving them money.

Have you tried using vim inside it?

Conemu does a decent job given all the restrictions the Windows platform has, but it's still miles behind a real Linux terminal emulator.
I don't understand. Is post-scarcity good or bad?

Scarcity seems to be the reason why anything has value.... No forget that I kind of forgot what I was going with that.

What I did want to bring up is this argument of land vs. population and energy/raw materials.

If energy is neither created or destroyed, it's just moved around, and assuming we still have the sun, if we're just using the energy from the sun through food, then as long as the sun exists, aren't we fine? Same with water. Water might be transformed but it returns. Where it would it go? There is also salt water sure you have to take energy/time to desalinate and purify it.

I just don't get that argument of resources if you have an ineexhaustable supply of energy as the sun for 5 billion years.

Also humans compared to the size of the Earth, we don't even begin to cover it as far as human size compared to land size eg. continents.

Please correct me as I'd like to learn.

It seems like the 2.7 community is happy enough without the new features -- just need the bugfixes and continued backwards compatibility to keep that segment happy.

The problem isn't vocabulary. It's lack of logic.

We are talking about something that is nonsense.

What are we talking about?

People ought to be able to work no more than six hours a day.

Really?

Why does anyone work eight? Or ten? Or twelve?

Did this 8 to 10 hour per day thing get sprung on people and forced upon them from nowhere?

No. Of course not. It's something that achieved a "natural" balance over decades (centuries?). And the balance has hundreds of variables driving it. From personal happiness to international competitiveness and productivity with even more variables across varied industries and cultures.

Nonsense is picking a number out of thin air, be it six or four hours and proclaiming that, not only will this work but it will result in happiness and a real improvement in employment figures.

It's like going into an ecosystem with some balance and killing off all the rats. There will be consequences. And they will likely not be positive.

You can't force a nation into a six hour work day without leaving behind measurable destruction. And this destruction would range from the personal (individual, family, kids, social groups) to corporate and national. You just can't do that and expect positive results.

This isn't about not liking the idea of working less and devoting more time to "living life". No, this has nothing to do with that. It has to do with the reality that these decisions exist in the reality of a very complex local, regional, national and international competitive marketplace.

A change of the sort being discussed would forcefully move away from a balanced position that allows everyone to earn a reasonable living, companies to remain viable while facing a myriad of competitors operating under different rules and society to function.

And so, proposing that people would be happy while facing a massive change in their standard of living, their ability to save for their future, feed their kids, take trips, have free time (because they will need two jobs), etc. simply isn't in alignment with reality.

To further propose that this would also improve employment is equally misplaced because this metric --the number of people being employed-- isn't a measure of anything other than a head count. A more useful measurement would combine head count with standard of living, savings rate, leisure time, quality of child care, etc.

These conclusions are faulty to such an extent that suggesting this approach would work could only be done from a less than lucid frame of mind.

In other words, it's nonsense and you'd have to be on dope to believe it would actually make society better.

Could we make such a thing work?

Yes, we could.

How?

Through massive global changes that are likely to require centuries to achieve. In other words, Star Trek territory. Not impossible, but, today, highly improbable because it would require dozens of nations to agree on terms and coordinate such changes over extended periods of time while making significant concessions.

Because there have not been changes at high school. Meanwhile there have been huge and obvious changes in tech itself (mobile) and the way the tech industry is viewed in the media, which would be the obvious place to start looking for answers.

How is this relevant? Are you implying that Palantir's engineering team should consist only of 4.4% Asians?

Also, that 4.4% comes from US demographics, right? Should Palantir not consider international applicants?

Anecdote: it takes surprisingly little.

Back in the day, when I was a fresh faced 20-something - and, like now, a complete nobody as well - I joined a fun, pretty unknown, startup and had my photo and bio published in the physical magazine of the time.

This happened because one of their journalists knew our CEO, and they thought it'd be a fun "welcome to the company" for me.
Google isn't forced to take anyone's business. The small group of preferred shareholders still have total control over the company and have no obligation to explain their reasons to other shareholders.
But the problem is that everyone really wants their builds to run with -O3 (which should, and is, -Ogoforit).

It's really common for bugs to only appear when compiling with optimization.

Reasonably, when those bugs appear, people go fix them.

My guess is in LLVM these optimization are turned off for debug builds. But who wants to be running debug builds all the time?
I'm not a lawyer but it looks like the IRS is basically prohibited from releasing tax records unless there is a court order or the request has something to do with tax administration, social security, or medicare.

So I'm not sure the IRS would be able to give the Labor department those records.

https://www.irs.gov/government-entities/federal-state-local-...
The IRS got people to give up the identities of other people.

With bitcoin, if you take the right precautions, it is impossible for anyone to know which account is yours.

It is a TECHNICAL solution. It doesn't matter how many people the IRS threaten.

Can the US government tell everyone in the world to think of a random number, then these citizens don't tell anybody what number they chose, and then can the government arrest everyone who chooses the number 10? No, it cannot do this.

And if it can't do that, then it can't arrest all the bitcoin owners.
I'm not ruling anything out. In fact it's been shown in studies that even at a few years old males prefer to play with traditionally masculine toys and girls the opposite. Does that extend to differences in career choice? Is it nature or nurture? We don't know.

If you're implying that race has something to do with career choice that's a much hotter potato that I'm going to deal with. It can't be ruled out because it's so polictically incorrect that nobody will research it.

Race and gender equality have a serious problem in that it's so dangerous to have the "wrong" viewpoint that any real research into the causes and possible solutions is never going to happening.

Something is stopping certain groups of people from persuing a career in CS and blaming tech companies for inequality is like blaming the sky for being blue.

We need to.research these things, even if we can't stop it we should know why. Knowing the reason alone would help tremendously whether it solves equality or not
> What? I've almost exclusively heard the opposite

Practically speaking, Go makes it hard to accidentally ignore errors if the function you're calling normally returns a value and easy to accidentally ignore them if it doesn't. For example, Go will force you to handle the error when unpacking the result of os.Open(), but not the result of os.Chmod(). There is a popular errcheck tool that does simple static analysis to catch this.

By contrast, rustc warns if you drop any error anywhere, and this warning ships on by default with the compiler.

Agree with the sentiment, lack of diversity doesn't necessarily imply an unjust system.

For instance, there aren't that many male nurses, relative to female nurses.
Does that mean there should be diversity programs targeting the recruitment of men as nurses?
What do you mean hoping to get back in? My general understanding of Google is that if you leave on decent terms you can get back to your previous role without having to interview again as long as you do it within a year or two, is that applicable here?
Ask HN: Have you ever cofounded two startup's at once? How'd it go?
I have a unique opportunity in that I am involved in the founding of two separate projects. One of them I am cofounder with another partner, we're preparing to go into beta soon (social space) and have worked on for 1.5yr+; it's my baby. The other one has sprouted up out of the consulting work both myself and partner have been involved with to help fund us working on first startup. The CEO of a successful & rapidly expanding company that is backing the consulting project wants us to cofound a much bigger picture project in that space with him. They both have a ton of potential and are exciting in their own ways. We're also already testing the first phase of software for the 2nd project internally with said company and seeing success. Feedback from initial users of social app is also exciting...

My question is this, I'm 33, no wife/kids, no mortgage, and highly driven; but would it be sane to be involved with two projects? I am the ceo of social project and as it's my first startup and first time leading such a project, I want to have the best chance for success. Likewise I would need to figure out my role for second project but so far I have acted like a mix between leader & developer in coordinating other contractors, developing on backend/client, and interfacing with company backing it. I'm having a hard time figuring out what approach to take if I choose to be involved in 2nd project and also have FOMO of ditching it entirely. I'm also interested in approach from angle of myself and partner from first startup as a team etc and if it makes sense to spread the risk around some in two projects?

Anyone ever have similar situation? Advice? Thanks!
Exactly, that is one of the "clever solutions" that I was referencing.
My guess is that this is the reason Google is fighting it, not sex or racial discrimination. Google's lawyers took one look at the age distribution of the company (or of new hires) and said "oh dear."

I hate the way Google handles updates.

My chromebook (lenovo n20p) was on the list to get android apps during 2016 but still nothing.

Other os vendors like Microsoft and apple can roll out updates to all their users at the same time, why can't Google.

It's not as bad as with Android phones but I get the feeling that Google just don't give a shit about their end users.

Fork doesnt make a lot of sense on win32 processes (how do you handle a forked message loop?) so the functionality isn't exposed, though nt native processes can do it. The best you can do is a spawn equivalent with manual copying of structures so you lose the CoW fork semantics that allow for speed on Unix.

For Linux subsystem processes fork works pretty well, but they are different animals

> and that implementation (most of whoms developers are employed by Blockstream) is centralized control by a corporate entity.

This is false. The majority of development, measured by commits or lines of code or people or whatever is NOT Blockstream. If anyone holds that honor, MIT does, as the release manager, wallet manager, and network protocol manager all work for MIT DCI, and they plus Chaincode Labs combined have more contributions than Blockstream, to say nothing of the other developers.

I'm afraid you've been taken in by a smear campaign.
Thank you for posting this. This reminds me of my favorite book.

This is for those who want another good assembly book, I would recommend Assembly Language and Computer Architecture Using C++ and Java[0]. You will learn a lot from this book and not only assembly language. You'll learn about a theoretical computer H1, how to use a simulator, debugger, how a CPU can be built from scratch, how a compiler generates code by using a stack then slowly improving the instruction set architecture and make it more efficient in generating assembly code. You'll also learn how an object oriented program can be converted into assembly language. You'll learn how a C program is linked to other object files. You'll learn how to implement your own instruction set. You'll learn how to build an assembler... I can go on and on but this book is much more detailed. Just get this book and have fun reading it. I mean it.
