Looking back over the past few days of ft.com submissions, others do report success:

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13302315

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13308163

As I said, I agree it's a problem. Quite a few people are indeed having issues viewing ft.com submissions. If I knew what was different about my setup and why it works, I'd be sure to share. Safari 10.0.2, Ghostery 5.4.10 blocking all 4 trackers, in the US.

If you think ft.com submissions should be blocked, I suggest contacting the mods (see contact link in the footer).
That's ubuntu screwing things up, not mysql. When you run the init manually -- mysqld --initialize -- it does require a password.
As a thought experiment, screening for this role from Microsoft's side has to be really difficult. It's a job that needs to be done to protect their users and reputation, but it sucks. If you interview somebody for the position and they're actually enthusiastic about it, that would probably be a huge red flag. I can't imagine a good solution besides machine learning.
They disabled the browser cache to put mild strain on the machine. Instead of visiting 10,000 pages to make sure the wifi is used over several hours, they visited the same handful pages and retrieved the whole data each time. If you visit then same pages with caching enabled, you barely use wifi because all data exists locally, which means it would not be a real-world test.

Unluckily, disabling the cache in Safari triggered a bug that drained the battery. Disabling the cache is still a valid method to simulate actual web browsing, in my eyes.
Maybe you should re-read the article and you'd realize it was NOT a job they signed up to do. If only people read the articles instead of leaping to defend face-less huge corporations.
I don't remember if GTA V had this same feature as GTA IV, but I remember being impressed in GTA IV by the cell phone interference through the radio when you had an incoming call and the radio was playing. I just absolutely loved the attention to detail that game had. It was truly the small things that added up that made you want to figure out what other details they put in the game.
It's a problem for multiple companies. Some seem to offer counselling. I think the YouTube approach of only offering yearlong contracts is probably a sensible one, though you'd hope there would be some sort of support programme for ex-employees also:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/19/technology/19screen.html

"Flagged videos are then sent for manual review by YouTube-employed content moderators who, because of the nature of the work, are given only yearlong contracts and access to counseling services, according to Victoria Grand, a YouTube spokeswoman."

Also, I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion but, it's this kind of problem that puts forward the strongest case for increased online surveillance. I understand it's unfair that everyone will be punished for the actions of a few, but I'd rather be under surveillance than have more damage to the personal lives of these content moderators. Maybe we just aren't yet mature enough as a species for the fully open web we used to have.
Since this space appears to be a referendum on Thiel's involvement with Trump (mostly), let me just offer this perspective: in Thiel's main business of being an investor in startups, this could backfire if enough founders find the association repugnant enough they'd refuse money from Thiel.

This isn't hypothetical; my cofounder and I agree that we won't take money from Thiel or any Thiel-affiliated fund.

Let the flaming commence, I guess.

Fowler has a good overview of GUI architectures: https://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/uiArchs.html#HumbleView - note that this is at this point dated and does not cover the 'reactive' model.

Java also used to have a funky toy like thing in the beginning called Bongo (by a company called Marimba). It was a bit of a toy, but I found it an interesting, if flawed, take on scriptable GUIs. This is all I can dig up today: https://people.apache.org/~jim/NewArchitect/webtech/1997/10/... (If anyone here knows where I can download Bongo I'd hugely appreciate it. It was really fun to play with.)

I haven't seen anything about 'design-surface' & 'design-time' in context of Javascript frameworks yet but I have a feeling that will happen in due course. Can't dig up anything that is not .NET specific but it is a generally applicable idea for component based systems. Think GUI builders in visual studio or NetBeans. This is more of interest if you want to create your own framework.

Component models are a huge topic.

Also partly because older developments have had time to evolve to meet the needs of the people who live there. Sure, some things are hard to change after the fact, but if there's anything humans can do it's to iteratively change their environment to adapt to human needs. To expect some master planner to be able to instantly create something as good as a hundred years of people trying different things is unreasonable.
In the long term, the rift (which is an example of what is, in other contexts, referred to as a "mid-ocean spreading center") will produce much more than a narrow inlet attached to the Red Sea.

But, yes, the initial body of water that will form will not be what anyone would characterize as an ocean.

It's a little disheartening that people on HN fail to understand that some people don't have a true choice sometimes when it comes to a job.

I'm not posting this to shame anyone, but I would ask that before you say things like "well just quit" or "it's on them when they made the choice," consider that not everyone in the world can make the same choices you can, or have the resources, or know-how to make those choices.

Self-reliance is obviously important, and something that our community values, but I think being empathetic to those who either cannot or don't know how is crucial to creating products and services that add value in the world.

good luck out there, y'all.

Workers are entitled to their safety, which is why OSHA and similar things exist. Blue collar situations are very similar to this, and I'm sure no one would defend a woodshop that had bandaids instead of hand guards and eye protection. When a job has risks the company is responsible for proper mitigation and control.
> experienced a workplace injury

That sounds like the correct framing. If you think about physical dangers, these are "well understood and handled". It's not just a question of accurate danger assessment, there's also the assumption that the safety equipment provided is sufficient, that the exposure levels are within tolerance, etc. It's just that instead of dosemeters and hazmat suits, it's, say, minutes of content and job-provided therapists.

No, he's just not a nice person.
It appears that part of the lawsuit is that Microsoft didn't adequately prepare them for the job. I highly doubt they realized what they were getting themselves into from the start. Furthermore, when it comes to employment lawsuits like this, "didn't have any choice in the matter" is the equivalent of "could have quit instead of doing this." Quitting your job to avoid something your company wants you to do is not a valid answer - the company should not be asking you to do whatever that thing is. Hence, the lawsuit.

(Sorry, this is a bit rambly, I've had a few beers.)

Yeah, "rural" America has had it tough -- that's basically true of every "western"[1] nation -- but here's what I personally don't understand[2]... How are they supporting someone who is the elite? I mean, he may not be part of the "intellectual elite" or "academic elite", but he's clearly part of the "economic elite"... and, as such, will continue to bolster his own (+cronies) position.

Much as it pains me to say it, I think what we're facing is a cognitive disconnect fueled by a (socio-)economic disparity in education/critical thinking. (A tiny bit of sort-of-reasoning to support this: The majority of people don't have reading skills above n'th grade... where n <= 8ish?)

EDIT: I should say for disclosure that I'm not USian, but I do fear what consequences this will have for the rest of the world. I can only hope that most sane leaders won't take his pronouncements seriously. Yesterday he tweeted in ALL CAPS, for $DEITY's sake.

[1] AFAICT it's just because China (and most of the rest of Asia) can afford to just "throw people at the problem" at very low cost. (No health/environment regaulations, the situation for workers is so dire, etc. etc.).

[2] I mean, I hope I don't understand. Maybe all information exchange has just been subverted permanently by just shouting "FAKE NEWS", but I really nope not. I sense that the situation in the US is almost that dire (wrt. red/blue team), but if this spreads it could be disastrous for civilization itself.
When you talk with somebody proven dishonest, you expect dishonesty so you are on your toes. When you talk with somebody with no dirt and 'honest' the question still remains if they are honest or you are being played. He could be referring to something in that direction.
> I don't see how the world's ~sixth largest economy succeeding from the world's 1st/2nd largest is good for the latter.

I'm not advocating for the separation of California, but...

I think we can only claim this for certain if our optimization target is size of the economy, in which case no separating from a larger economy would be bad for California.

Most entities would be very happy to be the 6th largest economy in the world, I'd guess there are only 5 countries that wouldn't be so keen on it. Quality of life is comparably very good in many countries with smaller economies than the United States. I'd speculate that this is due to the smaller geographic region occupied by the country, and the lower rate of dispersion across the political spectrum amongst citizens. California would achieve both of these in a succession.

California has a lot of issues both social and political that diverge from the opinion of most other states. Political correctness, immigration, etc...

Again I'm not saying California should divorce itself from the United States, only that I can see why someone might have such an opinion.

Which is the pro-gentrification argument, right?

Increasing the valuation of a property doesn't magically change a resident's ability to pay taxes. Best case scenario is that the areas where low wage earners live shift around a bit. Worst case scenario is that people are pointlessly taxed out of their homes and the city gets a reputation of being unaffordable.
Actually, no, that article reports differences between the EAR and mature ocean spreading centers, but that is not evidence which conflicts with the idea that it is a nascent spreading center.
There's probably some subreddits and image boards where Microsoft could recruit willing employees to look at this kind of content. Though I don't think I'd want them as my coworkers.

The Earth has a continental drift cycle where we form a supercontinent, which changes the circulation pattern, the supercontinent breaks up, the pieces drift around the world, and then recombine into a supercontinent again.

The last supercontinent was Pangea Asia, Europe and Africa are what is left and they are continuing to break up. The next one will meet where the Pacific plate now is.

So this starts as a rift, then a valley, then an inlet, then that will widen into an ocean, and then the barriers between oceans will disappear.

So yes, this will be a sea before it is an ocean. But it is also correct to talk about it as the birth of a new ocean. (The Red Sea is also on its way to being an ocean. It is just farther along. And the Atlantic is farther along still.)

i don't like the scheme described in the article, but i do think that X.Y.Z is overkill. X.Y provides plenty of information and doesn't make me second guess if i should upgrade or not. Z often creates a false sense of confidence that shit wont break. changes in X always mean breakage, changes in Y mean potential, but unintended, breakage.

I always found gender inequity in Japan quite different from how it was in the West. To me it seems that Japanese women were comparatively highly respected. Their role in society was different from that of the men, and still is, but independently from that the status of women was high since long ago. Just as an example, Japanese wives have traditionally had full financial control over the family budget - men got an allowance from them. I think wives/mothers in traditional households were usually seen as the head of the family behind the scenes, doing most of the important family decisions.
He helped take down Gawker, rightfully so, and he's simply against the welfare state.

Respect is an odd animal. It's an interesting trend that conservatives & libertarians will respect people who hold different opinions, but if a liberal meets someone who holds a differing opinion, they vilify them for it.
The problem, of course, being that Emacs has become a horrible codebase to maintain 20 years of compatibility, and rewriting is unlikely to change that.
They refund all ATM fees that the the ATM charges as well, which is really nice when you are stuck somewhere without cash, the place is cash only, and the only ATM is some no-name, no-brand ATM in the back that charges and arm and a leg.

I should mention that Fidelity does have a foreign transaction fee on DEBIT purchases, I don't know if Schwab does or not. But I don't use my debit card for debit purchases, just at ATMs, so that doesn't apply to me.

BitTorrent is a shit way to move files

How so? As far as I know it's actually pretty efficient.

If you look at how big files are moved on the net in practice it's all professional CDNs. BitTorrent is hardly used outside piracy.

And when the first CDN appeared, they were also hardly used. That approach would disqualify any business except copycats.

Most of these are treated as backwards incompatibilities by the stdlib folks and most users.

The one that's not is that adding a field or method could break importing code. The scenario here is that you embed two types, one from the upgrading lib and one not, and the upgrading lib adds a name that collides with one in the other type. Rather than pick a winner in that conflict (last embed in the type definition wins, say), Go raises an error so the human can explicitly resolve it by, e.g. renaming one of the conflicting names if you control the code (gorename helps!) or changing one of the embeds to a regular member.

This can happen, but I haven't seen it occur in the time I've been around the Go community, and never adding methods doesn't make sense, and silently resolving those conflicts could _still_ cause a backcompat issue and seems worse than the status quo, and if you do hit the conflict it's often resolvable (gorename!), so I think calling it backwards compatible to add a method/field is reasonable (as well as what everyone already does).

The practical backwards compatibility things that I have seen come up tend to have less to do with folks hitting cases like that than changes that are theoretically right but expose code that was buggy but happened to work before, e.g. programs that used to rely on racy map accesses or wrong cgo pointer usage or invalid Less functions in sort working, or trickiness around net protocol interfaces and buggy clients, or parallel tests exposing something.
So is it just the right hand paying the left hand but "funneling" it through a mechanism that's inefficient but may be profitable on it's own?
Additionally, a lot of times people might end up in a position where they end up harming themselves or others, by the very force of social conformity. "Oh, if this big prestigious company does this, then it must be alright. This is expected. I must meet expectations."

In quite the coincidence, when I attempted to get a random human in the US, I got a simulated person 3mi from my (very rural) house. When I searched the coords, it was in the middle of a forest. The demographics seemed off for my area (too young, income too low, there is no internet access in that area, unlikely religion)

Is the precision limited to the country level?
I once chose to live in my car instead of taking a crappy job. You absolutely have a choice. I really hate this kind of thinking.

So rather than complain, let me ask this to people with kids, which seems to be the people who think they don't have a choice:

What is better? Having a job to take care of kids? Or telling the story to your kids about how you left a place because you didn't believe in what the company believed/ was doing/ etc? It seems the latter would let your child see you as a genuine human being who doesn't allow money to dictate their lives.

I don't have kids and never intend (on purpose), so please let me know if I am missing something.

I don't talk to my parents because they didn't really provide value in my life. But they did sacrifice things for money. Didn't really work out

Hi Guys, Flutterbud is my experiment while I was learning swift. The app lets you record videos and share with your friends at a scheduled showtime. The recipients cannot view the video before the showtime. I created the app using parse-server, S3, Heroku. Let me know if you have any questions.

Only in the HN bubble. Meanwhile, "in the wild," it's hard to find a person who does systems programming and has even heard of Rust, or if they have, that has given it serious consideration.

It's too early and too immature a language for all the fawning it gets on HN.

I think if the developers do it right they can snag enough mindshare among new developers that Rust will be a serious competitor to C and C++ in 10 years or so. Which is great, because I think it's a better language. But it isn't there yet.
