Unions may be the wrong model. I'd prefer to see developers organise along the same lines as the legal profession. I.e. instead of encouraging more people to enter the profession we start to lobby for legislation that erects barriers, requires professional qualifications etc... We should restrict the supply of developers and start to perpetuate memes that normalise a significant increase in societal and economic status.
Do you mean 25% higher?
What we are talking about is a "sufficient number of tor nodes" blocking access to a service for everyone. If a majority can block some content by vote, it is a censorship.
That doesn't make sense from a business perspective. No one would invest heavily with output expected to drop to 25% existing levels. More likely is that the factory's total output is 250% of what it was before the employee cuts.

What should they have done?

Sure, they could not post videos on the largest video-sharing platform on the Internet. They could pay someone to host and maintain all that content themselves and have far fewer people see them.

You're not wrong to distrust YouTube (or any such site), but this isn't all on the videomakers. They have a choice: put their stuff on YouTube and risk it being taken down, or put their stuff somewhere else and know for certain far fewer people will see it.
Trump supporters on reddit don't all come from /r/The_Donald. Unless you're willing to show specifics of how the brigading happened on that subreddit, most of the time when people make those claims it means: "my sub was suddenly full of people who agreed with Trump, so it must be the case that /r/The_Donald was behind it". Guess what, when protests in Berkeley happened it's not a surprise that /r/Berkeley is going to be full of people who sound like Trump supporters, for instance.

"It is usually those whose poverty is relatively recent, the “new poor,” who throb with the ferment of frustration. The memory of better things is as fire in their veins. They are the disinherited and dispossessed who respond to every rising mass movement."

Perhaps you're a reasonable wealthy person with a reasonably stable life, and so not a lot of demons that need silencing. So when your body tells you to not drink, you can fairly easily respond by simply not drinking, which a less fortunate person might find harder to do.

This kind of behaviour is consistent with the finding in article.
Remember "idea-men"?

"Listen I have this great idea for a web app, it's going to be like the Facebook for hardware stores [or whatever] and people can rate/vote/tag ... I got the whole idea worked out, I just need someone to program it for me" etc. Every programmer has heard these kinds of proposals many times.

One (of many) problems with this kind of proposal is that the idea-man, unable to program (and not wanting to learn) has no idea about the complexity of what they're asking. And even if they think they have the whole idea worked out, not being able to program means they probably missed a lot of shortcuts, possibilities and best practices. The worst ones hand-wave this with the possibility of a fresh outsider-look on things! Except that the whole (fully worked-out) idea probably needs to be reworked entirely before it's even feasible or competitive. The programmer would probably have been better off without the idea, cause that's where it started to go wrong.

Similarly, if you believe math isn't worth your time but instead want to hire ML experts to implement your ML-related ideas (formulated in terms of "expected business outcome"), puts you in a very similar role.

(Tongue-in-cheek) I got a really great idea, the expected business outcome is: make lots of profit. It's fool-proof. I checked with some of my people and they agreed, making profit is a solid idea. I just need some business dude to implement for me. I'm not really sure what sort of business person, my time can be spent better than learning about subtleties between sorts of business people. I just need to hire a good one. But remember, the idea was mine first.
I have often thought about tagging pictures of someone else as me on a consistent basis. Maybe request others to do it as well. Say, always tag me as a friend, and my friend as me. Has anyone done any sort of experiment/testing to see if this would have an impact on their face recognition accuracy?
Is there a good explanation for why people are so sensitive when it comes to alcohol? You can criticize basically everything in the West, but mention the dangers of alcohol, and you'll get blank stares at best[1].

I've been using Facebook since college (circa 2005). Never "hidden" my profile from anyone or the public. Never deactivated anything or deleted a post. Recruiters and acquaintances look up my profile all the time. Still, I have never had the data I've given them come back to haunt me. I still trust Facebook leadership very much in this regard. Maybe it's because I trust myself and how I utilize the technology. Or maybe it's because I am cut from the same cloth as them when it comes to technology and I understand it at a very instinctive level. In light of the recent election, at this point I wouldn't trust any other entity with that kind of data (like Amazon, who seems to use my data to raise prices on me, frequently). In fact, I would wish Facebook to contract with and take over identity management systems (ie. social security, drivers license) away from local and federal government - not to dictate policy but just to dictate infrastructure. I really don't care about privatization or policy in a general sense, just progress in this regard.

10 years later I still don't get the point of these articles besides fear mongering and at most to provide a technological challenge to engineers and developers on "the other side". I understand ad-blocker companies are fighting a messy war right now with both content and ad providers. I guess that is another way, albeit much slower, way to achieve progress. Hacking goes both ways.
I was responding to the evidence cited in the article - to be honest, I didn't investigate it too carefully. My statement is probably premature.
If you read the original Chinese source, it's saying

Old: 650 workers * 8000pieces per person per month

New: 60 workers * 21000 pieces per person per month

It's a bit ambiguous but it makes it sound like total production output has dropped fourfold.
The information could be relevant for me. Where do you buy what?
Kind of. I use

bind-key -t vi-copy "J" page-down
bind-key -t vi-copy "K" page-up

Then I can just enter tmux's vi mode, and scroll up and down with shift-J/K. I don't know of a way to bind shift-PgUp/PgDn though, which sounds like what you are looking for.
Typically, it's not using photons but the other way round, paths are started from the camera primarily.

The noise stems from the simple fact that those renderers try to solve an infinte dimensional integral (all light reflected by all surfaces) with stochastic Monte Carlo methods, the most popular being path tracing. There are other methods (finite element radiosity for example) to simulate light transport that do not exhibit stochastic noise, but those have fallen out of favor.
You can be pro-Syrian government and still see from that example how naive vigilantism can screw your cause more than it does your enemies. A different example would be some terrorist run Telegram channel full of Assad moles who lost their intel access because pro-Assad vigilantes successfully managed to guess a password and showed up to spam shutting the channel down.

I'd bet on this Tor host being an active sting operation considering the fate of the previous one, FreedomHosting.
You do one better - tmux's mouse mode allows you to scroll with your mouse wheel.

Just add 'set -g mouse on' to your ~/.tmux.conf. You can configure the history size limit by setting 'set-option -g history-limit <lines>'. When you scroll the mouse wheel, tmux will enter copy mode and scroll.
What, no Else Heart.Break()?

It's a game set in a world where you can hack pretty much any object and fiddle with its source code. Yes, just as weird as it sounds. Want to get into a locked room? You can either hack a key to try all possible combinations at once, so it'll open any door. Or it might be easier to just hack a door somewhere else to point at the locked room...

It's not just Facebook. As more images become publicly accessible on the internet, that capability will be available to many organizations and individuals.

If that scares you, you should think about how we can protect ourselves from tyranny without anonymity.
It's the right way for me, conditioned by Tetris for Mac ('90s black and white game) and whatever version I had on my TI-83 calculator.

An interesting "alternate universe", that Smalltalk/Squeak/Cuis is... Open, highly discoverable. Which, in theory, makes it accessible for beginners and those who are not programmers; for kids, who are usually very good at discovering things. Thinking exclusively in terms of "objects" helps: objects are things that (again, in theory) immediately avail themselves to our perception via our senses as well as intuition. Yet, abstract thought is by no means excluded or even hindered - an object's nature can be quite general and abstract (not in a mathematical sense but from the object-oriented design standpoint.)

Still, all this leaves me wondering, as someone who learned programming via "traditional", i.e. compiled, languages - wondering whether being "born" into this "alternate universe" could have some kind "crippling" effect on the ability to live in a "normal" universe (say, as a professional programmer, etc).

> What you need research to tell you that child porn is made by pedophiles and encouraging pedophilic fantasies means more child porn?

I need some evidence that distribution of child porn can turn people child abusers. Until proven otherwise I tend to believe that it is impossible. Some people believe you can turn people gay by propaganda: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_gay_propaganda_law

I'd love to dig into Pijul but sadly it's AGPL. Just looking at the code effectively taints me as a developer who works tangentially to VCS - it could be argued that my work is derivative and thus needs to be AGPLed. The viral nature of the license then creates an existential legal risk to my employer.
You and I have almost exactly the same setup. I also usually only have a browser and terminal/tmux running.

If I'm reading the general web then I max the browser (which also maxes the terminal, since I'm running awesome-wm tiling window manager).

If I'm writing code or anything else terminal-focused, then they're unmaxed, side by side.
Yeah, I always get annoyed at standing in line for building security needing to take yet another photo of me and stare at my license. Let's just be friends on Facebook so their security cameras can identify me when I walk in the door.
#7 will shock you.

No, really. It's shocking how sapping it is when the team is dragging dullards along. You need to repurpose or get rid of those people.
I have my tmux/vim set up so that C-(h,j,k,l) navigates vim splits and tmux panes seamlessly. The only downside was that I had to rebind C-l to C-o to clear my shell. But it makes it a lot more productive when using multiple shell panes along with my vim session in one terminal window.

Of course it's automated. Algorithmic censorship is the name of the game when you want to avoid hiring an army of humans. Most companies also cut on the help desk costs by not providing a mechanism for complaints.

Only those who manage to make waves in public get handled by the PR department, but those are a very small percentage of all the victims.

Tech Republic says:

Too bad the article does not discuss the time it would take to break even on that investment.

The point of this particular article is that you don't even need to be on Facebook. Your image is bound to be captured, perhaps only in the background in a public space, by someone who is. Your face will be recognized and it will become part of your "public record". No amount of opting out will prevent this. Perhaps going full Amish will, but even that simply pushes back the timeline.
If that means in contrast to the default configuration, then probably yes. tmux default is not bad, but each person would probably do better with a few common adjustments, and maybe a bit more for their local needs and focus.
1. Because it's fun.
2. Because you're using a different program than blender.
3. Because you want to work on code that you know wouldn't get accepted in the blender code base anyway.
4. Because you can.

I have contributed patches to Blender that got accepted. Even I feel the urge to write my own render engine, to try out different approaches and just so I can claim "I wrote that".
Patreon doesn't support video uploads, at least as an embed. You can embed them from other sites and (I think) attach them to posts as downloads, but that's it.

So quick to point fingers at /r/The_Donald. I lurk there and they are just ppl who support Trump and like to meme about it.

Ask HN: Negotiating on terms other than base salary?
Location: Vancouver, B.C, Canada
Long story short, I'm in the middle of a job change, and have a couple offers on the table.

One of the offers I'm more interested in has stated multiple times that they're unable to meet my ask in terms of base salary. They did mention that after 6 months or so they'd like to/be happy to bump me up to that level, but as that's more of a "maybe" and not something I have in ink now, I'm unable to place much value on it.

Being quite interested in this role, I don't want to give a flat out rejection, and would like to negotiate and see if there are any terms that could be changed to make up for a couple thousand dollar gap.

Currently it's something like this:

An offer of X + 17 "off days" which can be used for vacation/sick days as needed. I've already communicated that I have other offers for 3 weeks + 10 personal days, and due to family reasons this is more or less a requirement for me. Aside from that it's pretty standard, MSP coverage and full medical benefits.

As I usually focus on negotiating base salary and they're unwilling to budge in that respect, I'm wondering what other terms the HN community looks for in this kind of situation. I'm thinking maybe something like a reduced hours arrangement to make up for the few thousand dollar gap, but I've never done that and would appreciate some opinions/advice.

Thanks!

Does it absolutely have to be a combination of Shift and PgUp/PgDn?

With tmux, you can type your prefix key followed by PgUp and it will scroll up, even in split screens.

For example, if your prefix key is Control-b, you would type Control-b PgUp and get the effect you want.
I'm hoping it does, that's why I did it. At least I have piece of mind, which may very well be false.
Well-off families will pay $20k to put their kid in private kindergarten. That's per year per kid and at a local private school, not sending them internationally. And that's kindergarten! Grades 5-12 can be $30k or more in tuition per year.
I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to, but it is not inconsistent to suggest that previously held "objective" truths being revealed as social constructs is not a de-objectivication (forgive me for that) of these concepts but an acceptance of their reality.

In general, this helps people who want to argue on ideological grounds rather than hurting them. It's bad for people who want to treat somewhat arbitrary concepts as objective to stifle debate.

A good example: gender roles vary so much culturally and possess so many outliers in the data that attempting to argue for an objective ground truth almost invariably ignores or dismisses numerous counter examples.
Off tangent question - did anyone here fill out the email subscription form that takes up the entire screen when you go this article? I keep getting told they "work" even though I think they're terrible.
