Wrong. Natural yeasts produce methanol in fairly sufficient amounts to cause damage even when mixed with ethanol.
That's totally fair, but the underlying suggestion that "language choice isn't really important to scaling" is more what I was addressing.

There's a difference between pursuing someone in court to make them pay taxes and kidnapping them to take them to a hostile regime and hold them indefinitely.

China acts as if it owns people of Chinese descent. Such as the Taiwanese. And they're more concerned with collecting them all rather than treating them well.

Hong Kong and Taiwan would flee China if they could. Many countries would run to be a US Protectorate. Totally different scenario. And it's essentially all because of personal freedoms, which start with not being property.

Yes, definitely and as I mentioned in another comment, people who are not employed with a full time position will have a lot of difficulties getting a loan from a bank.

But, in the case of my ex-coworkers, the difference is significant enough that they are in a much better situation in term of how much money they earn and how much hours they work than people working at let's say Sharp (and Sharp is still much better than a lot of places with full time employees because they limit overtime).

Not true, I enjoy them a lot but won't spend $5 to watch a twenty year old temporary digital copy when there are so many other options available. Even a brand new movie I will hem and haw about---only about two or three a year manage to pass the test.

(Not to mention the 24 hour window is problematic if you have a sleepy wife. It is not uncommon to start the movie, stop it halfway, they try to resume the next night at the same time and lose access.)

Publicly shaming Gigster like we're doing here should help.
I do think that they are missing a fairly simple solution

That doesn't sound very simple at all. For one thing, it means the python runtime loses control over the http implementation it ships. It's also not obvious that libcurl provides an API that can do everything something like http.client can do. I think this is somewhere between 'not simple' and 'non-starter'.
its easy but there are still costs to the org to onboard an employee and it still reflects poorly on the hiring manager to have hired the wrong/bad candidate

Years ago I worked for a University. We lost power in our data centre. No big deal right. Stuff comes back up, you realize which service dependencies you missed, set them to run at startup, change some VM dependency startup order and you're good.

One of the SAN arrays didn't come up, and then started rebuilding itself. Our storage was one of those multi-million dollar contracts from IBM. They flew a guy out to the University and after a lot of work, they said the array was lost and unrecoverable.

Backups for production for some VMs were on virtual tape .. on the same shelves as production. O_o

At least a lot of our clusters were split between racks, so in many cases we could just clone another one. We learned that MS BizSpark, in a cluster, only puts the private key on half the machines. We had to recreate a bunch of BizSpark jobs based off what we could still see in the database and our old notes and password vaults. We had been planning on upgrading to a newer version of BizSpark on a Server 2012 (it was on 2003), so this kinda forced us to. Shortly afterwards we learned how to make powershell scripts to backup those jobs and test the backups by redeploying them to lower environments.

The sys admin over the backups was looking for a new job. You can't really fire people from universities easily, because it's very difficult to find IT staff that will take university wages. Word was out though, if he didn't find new work, he was going to be let go. Not laid off, made redundant, or have his position removed. He would be fired.

I suspect that in the long run common contracts like that will become invalidated and a legal quagmire.

I have seen several contracts wanting to claim ownership over everything I write. I don't sign them, but it seems most people do and often do so at multiple contracting firms and employers. There are companies that should be having arguments with each over who own what contractors code.

Clearly this is not a reasonable situation and clearly it is unreasonable to try to screw a developer out of everything he owns and clearly it is hard to get a job without signing something like this. The runs afoul of anti-competition laws and basic decency. I am sure it will stand in some shitty jurisdictions and completely fail in others, but many already have some kind of work for pay law that transfers IP to the people paying for it by default and that seems pretty reasonable.
Although still young, and technically not Java EE, the MicroProfile initiative seems pretty promising. That might lighten things up.
> The median [..] just has a small advantage in that it will always map a real observation

Michael Bloomberg on How to Succeed in Business
That is actually not the case.

Say a git server is in the middle of a write to refs/heads/master . You atomically snapshot the FS and then a power outage kills the server. The repository state will have a small chance of lock files that are never removed. Depending on the lock, future writes to a ref or to the repository can fail.

Not the worst situation as data lose won't occur but definitely not a stable state. If you treat git repositories as a service that needs a recovery step it would be fine, unfortunately most don't.

That's not sooner vs later. That's breaking functionality.

Private mode means deleting the data, not disabling the functionality. Chrome and the rest handle it correctly.

MQA | Software Engineers | Huntingdon (near Cambridge), UK | Onsite, Visa, http://mqa.co.uk

We are looking for software engineers to help us roll out the next generation of music distribution. We're still small (7 full-time engineers and a few contractors, ~20 total), and the music recording and hi-fi industries are already beating a path to our door, so we need all-rounders to keep up. If you like the idea of hacking on our (C++) encoder/decoder, learning assembly for a new instruction set to optimise porting to a new hardware platform, then spending the next week helping us analyse, process and revitalise the back catalogs of the world's top record labels...we want to hear from you. DSP experience not required (although obviously it's nice!).

MQA has developed a music encoding and delivery system whose quality blows basically anything commercially available out of the water. (Think it's impossible to improve on CD? So did a lot of people. If you want to help out with the peer-reviewed double-blind studies that proved them wrong, here's the place to do it.) MQA is an end-to-end system, that ensures precise transmission of the analog signal from the mastering desk to the listener's ears. We've signed with household-name record labels, artists and hi-fi manufacturers, we've got music-industry luminaries working here (they're remarkably nice), and it's only getting bigger from here. We're a friendly, international team that values initiative and getting things done, and we're looking forward to meeting you. Interviews are a phone screen then on-site with the team.

Hi.

If any developers want a rundown on legal ideas (good explanations of "indemnification", "representations and warranties", etc.), we offer that in our book, Code For Cash. (https://www.breakingintoconsulting.com)

Peter Krumins said, "The legal stuff is excellent. I was always afraid of that and spent many thousands of dollars on various lawyers to make a good agreement, and there were no good guides about what the terms such as 'indemnification' mean. That is really well explained."

That's because the Legal Ideas chapter was written by a business attorney from Silicon Valley who has worked on both sides of the table.

If you sign up for our mailing list, you get the entire Legal Ideas chapter for free during day 2 or day 3 of the autoresponder campaign. You may also purchase the entire book for a severe discount by using the HN-only link in my profile.
Instrumentl (YC S16) | Full-stack Software Engineer | San Francisco (Onsite)

Instrumentl simplifies the grants process for researchers and nonprofits. Over $160 Billion in funding moves between scientists and funders every year yet scientists waste up to 40% of their time hustling for money instead of actually doing science. We are changing that.

We're looking for a Full-stack software engineer with at least 2 years of professional working experience.

You'd be the 2nd engineering hire on our core team so you'd have plenty of impact on our technology roadmap and be instrumental (pun intended) in developing our engineering organization.

Email gauri@instrumentl.com if you're interested. More info at https://www.instrumentl.com
> Similar things could be said of all the once-great powers of Europe and Asia.

They absolutely could but if two countries do X, it doesn't alter the fact that they both did X.

I'm from the UK and our colonial history was pretty grim, I fully accept it, I'm not ashamed of it (I wasn't around at the time) and I'm not proud of it (again not around at the time), if you don't understand where you come from then you miss out on a lot.

The US is a large, prosperous economy with a productive workforce, it's simply not possible to deny that and no sane person would but it's not perfect either.

The US benefited from a confluence of events (and some very smart leaders who created a pretty good system in aggregate) to capitalise on those events and drive an economy.

Europe and it's major powers destroying their economic bases with two catastrophic wars certainly aided in that, the US was largely untouched domestically by WWII and at the end it had a vast production capacity, a skilled workforce, abundant natural resources and a world that was crying out for it's products and it capitalised on it well, the thing was it also had comparitively weak workers protection but it didn't matter when you could charge a lot for your goods because you where the only game in town.

As someone from Britain while there is much I don't like about the US (primarily it's politicians but some other stuff as well), I have to give a huge amount of credit for what they did in the post war years, the Marshall plan and the rebuilding of Japan was an incredible thing for a country to do (even if it wasn't for altruistic reasons, it was still an impressive feat to bootstrap multiple savaged countries back to relative prosperity inside 20 years).
No but Google dreamed it up and they've shown the initial time to interaction and paint is just as fast if not faster with AMP.

Now your web app even gets it's own icon in your home screen along with other native apps and it works offline too just like other native apps.

You are right, there's not much to talk about when native apps are facing an existential crisis.
Dog-friendly office -- what about people who are allergic to dogs?
Just to be clear- are you implying that people cannot be inspired by natural events and think of an analogy elsewhere in physics? Or are you saying that an analogy cannot be the firmament of a new theory?

I would agree with the latter, but it sounds like you're stating the former, which is categorically incorrect

Maybe for some, but I'm working in the US because of the higher wages only. And I'd probably hustle my way to a even higher salary if I could compete by freely switching job. So I was curious if there's data around that. It seems to me more like the natural balance of offer and demand with H1B is broken, as an employer can get high skilled workers, and then lock them in for multiple years without needing to compete salary wise anymore.

I think there's a lot more H1B workers who are attracted to working in the US because of those high wages and not because they want to flee their shitty country. High skilled workers are not refugees. They could go to Canada or any other western country, but they flock to the US if they can because of the high salaries.

So my point is, I don't think it's that they accept a lower wage, the wage offered to them is the highest they can get, it's more then in any other country. The issue seems to be that the H1B artificially lower the American wages, by not giving fare market competition on recruiting, which caps out salaries for H1B workers. If that wasn't the case, the H1B workers might even boost salaries, if companies tried to compete even more aggressively for the highest skilled.
The original versions of the document had names. Those were later replaced with initials.

I think the issue was in part that this document didn't appear to be a public "here's what's going on doc" as much as it was a doc they seemed to be using as a focal point for their own coordination efforts.
On avoiding hyperinflation, it's certainly true that we know how to do it. For the infamous Weimar hyperinflation, I'd refer you to Adam Fergusson's When Money Dies; what drove the hyperinflation was two things, that the government was unwilling to control its spending (it risked France annexing the Saarland), and that the head of the national bank was poorly educated. When Schacht was brought in, in 1923 (10 years before Hitler; Schacht has a reputation as Hitler's banker, but had never heard of Hitler in '23), he was able to stabilize things pretty quickly: Britain had intervened to rule out a French annexation of the Saarland, and Schacht was more with-it on monetary theory than his predecessor had been.

The risk of Wiemar-like circumstances striking again in the West are basically zero, unless a Wiemar-like perfect storm of defeat and ignorance strikes again; and even then, hyperinflation never lasts long (no one can live under it for long). One woman weathered the Wiemar hyperinflation by selling one link of a gold Rosary chain a day to buy food; a quite modest amount of precious metal is enough to outlast this sort of disaster.
The things I enjoy building don't require expensive equipment. Just a little bit of time - which is spent working a 9 to 5. Most people work their 9 to 5 to pay their various bills (Rent, Food, Utilities, Internet, Entertainment). I think it is important to enjoy your work or else you'll be unhappy. But I don't think it's uncommon to enjoy your hobbies more than your work.

For example - I love languages! I wanted to become a polyglot in high school and speak several languages well enough to hold small talk. Practicing a language to fluency without residing in a country it is spoken is a lot of effort and requires a lot of self-motivation and time dedication. I rarely study anymore and am no longer confident in my ability to hold small talk in German or Portuguese. It's extremely satisfying to learn about various cultures, their history, and being able to speak with natives! You learn so many things about the world when you expand your ability to explore other cultures. No work to me is more satisfying.

But cultural and linguistic anthropologists, after putting themselves into debt from college, hardly make more than a McDonald's Manager. Not to mention work is sparse and difficult to find - nearly impossible outside of academia. I went with a job with more job opportunities and a higher base salary so that I could afford my more expensive hobbies like playing video games and actually visiting other countries to learn about their cultures. Something I wouldn't be able to afford to do if I had my "dream job" instead of a "well paying job".

But that leaves with me less energy and less motivation to study the foreign languages I would like to learn. I had to cut it down from twelve languages to three languages and I'm still not fluent in the two I'm studying. It's just too mentally exhausting to go from my day job to studying foreign languages during my free time day in and day out.
I'd be astonished if it's less expensive than waiting 2 months. A new employee costs a hunch of time for existing employees and is a net negative at first, and that ignores the wasted salary and cost and delay of starting the process again months later.
> Trump did actually already invade a country

You're playing with words to fit a narrative, which doesn't match reality. At the same time, the Trump tropes are not about invasion of another country, so now you're being disingenuous just to argue. Good luck with that.

I'll continue to assert most of the outrage is misdirected.
Does libcurl provide the abstractions to make that transition simpler than directly adding support for the platform libraries to Python's TLS implementation?
Complaining might be a strong word, but I would definitely have a pithy comeback ready at the first sign of criticism, eg. "Ok, Mr. StartsAtEleven…", "early to bed, early to rise..", etc.
No reason to go cast iron anymore. They rust, they heat unevenly, you have to care for the seasoning. You can get the same sear with better heat distribution with multi-ply stainless. Much lighter and easier to care for.
