India has the worst air pollution in the world. It's not prejudiced to say so.

The participants were expected to perform manual labor every day and expected to walk no less than 22 miles per week. 1500 calories a day is really low under those conditons, and the 3200 was probably selected to maintain weight given them.
It's just a UUID number. Private browsing mode just generates a new UUID for that session by that browser. Otherwise use the default system UUID. And at any time, you can reset that default system UUID.

Easy and seamless. Why turn it off? If you do, then the networks would just generate their own ID numbers and we're back to the same scenario as today. There's nothing technically wrong with not using it but having a stable API to program against helps a lot and is the main reason this would improve the web. Android and iOS get somewhat close to this, although both are broken and unfinished.

I'm not sure why this requires any hardware TPM or DRM though.
How Quid is improving its search with Word2Vec and Wikipedia
I disagree with your conclusion because the timeline is different; first there was the labor law which was won via tough fights from the working class and then came the lobbyists, the crooked politicians, the neoliberals etc and essentially took down the law by allowing temporary workers.

Thus I would go with something like make it extremely easy for the employer to get employees without any kind of obligation and the employer will be less willing to choose any type of contract that respects the employee. As we so often hear, the responsibility of the CEO is to the shareholders (thus not to the employees).

Yea, it will be very difficult at the beginning to convince people to actually accept Swiftcoin for services. In order for this to occur there will need to be speculation that coins will be worth a certain amount in the future.

I.E. if a person is willing to make the bet that Swift Coins will become valuable in the future they might try to buy a large amount now for a discounted price so in the future they can turn a profit. Once this begins to occur it will likely become a self-fulfilling prophecy since more users will want to sign up since the coins will have value due to people buying them as an investment. Once the price stabilizes at a reasonable number it can then proceed to be used as a normal currency.
There's a much longer answer to this that factors in your savings, what your resume looks like and minimizing the chances of this happening to you in the future.

Two immediate pieces of advice:

1. Shore up relationships with your colleagues and get their non-work contact info if you don't have it. Make this network stronger. Former colleagues can recommend you and pull you in at new companies they get hired at. They can also refer you to job openings they know about but aren't pursuing. It's one step of many, but people can get caught up in worrying and applying elsewhere, they forget about this network of colleagues right in front who can help each other. Keep in touch, check in, ask for leads and referrals if you are still looking, offer them if you have them.

2. Don't freak out. But if you are really worried, since 20% of staff are staying for now so: A laid off employee can ask management if they can stay and help for a few more weeks at reduced pay and while he/she looks for something else. I don't recommend doing that, looking for a job can be a full-time job. Never hurts to offer and ask.

When I ran up against the same problem, this is exactly what I did. Though, I did take a weekend off to breathe, instead of a single day. Ended up with two offers 30 days later, and was working 15 days after that.

Unemployment was the most intimidating part initially, but it wasn't hard; just a few pages of online paperwork every week.
It's only temporary, although it could in principle last a few centuries. Birthrate isn't homogeneous in a population, and is partly transferable across generations, either culturally or genetically. So subpopulations with higher birthrate will eventually come to dominate.

Dramatically over-simplified model: Mormons in the US have 3.4 children compared to the national average of 2.1. They currently number about 6M, or 2% of the US population. If they grow by a factor of 3.4/2.1=1.62 (i.e., 62%) each generation, then it takes 8.1 generations, or a bit over 200 years, for them to become the majority.
40 hours a week? I've done it in the past it's not realistic. If you schedule one interview per day, you'll burn out quickly. You need breaks in between to digest the previous interview.
What kind of job were you working in? If you are in the software field, you chances of finding employment again are high. But the key is for you to act fast. While it is sad that you are out of job, this is not the time to regret or ponder over what you could have done differently. There is plenty of time for that.

I can share my own story. On one Saturday, I got a phone call from a co-worker that there are rumors of an impending massive layoff the following week. And then I got laid off on Monday. But I updated my resume on Saturday and already applied for several jobs on Sunday and started preparing for interviews. On Monday, I got laid off. And on Tuesday, I got a call scheduling for an interview. That entire week, I got two more calls for interviews. I scheduled them for the week after that as I needed at least one week to get up to speed with interview preparation. 20 days after my layoff, I had an offer. I still had interviews scheduled from bigger companies at that time, but I took the offer because I had some personal situations also to deal with at the time (My marriage was supposed to be in 3 weeks). I had a good raise in the new job, and with severance, it all ended up great with a good bonus and a raise.

My general advice is this. While I admit it is an incredibly stressful and emotional time, your emotions cannot take priority over actions.

The only thing I would add to this (great, positive) advice is that you may want to read McArdle's masterpiece on rebounding, The Up Side of Down.[1] She was in a terrible (long-term) unemployment situation, followed by underemployment; she took the lessons she learned, added some others she found later, and wrote this (very helpful and practical) book.

Absolutely, Jeff nods to Toyota when he talks about the cords origins.
Pretty much every article on HN that is even slightly negative about Wikipedia, Apple, or whatever is the topic of the day devolves into a hatejerk. I've noted this before [0] and it won't end as long as HN keeps being an echo chamber. From browsing HN you'd think Apple completely tanked with the new Macbook and their other controversial changes, but they just had a record quarter. I notice this on sites like reddit and HN a lot, people spread these memes of how a company should function or rather doesn't and they consider themselves the most informed target audience for that company even if it couldn't be further from the truth. Even in this very thread I see so much misinformation about how Wikipedia works and how it's being overrun with deletionists, yet anyone participating in the site could tell you that these fears are overblown. (in fact, in my three years of editing, I've found it harder to actually delete stuff because of inclusionists and random keepers) People just want to say "ackshually, nice thing isn't nice because x...". I'm not going to bother commenting elsewhere in this thread because it gets tiring, but people really need to actually try understanding Wikipedia themselves before repeating misinformation about it again and again. Nearly every thread on HN about Wikipedia is about people crying about that their article with no sources at all got deleted in favor of a popular culture topic that is meticulously sourced. Yet they also complain about Wikipedia being unreliable and biased. You can't have your cake and eat it too, either demand quality controls or create your own fork which has no controls at all and watch what happens to it.

Vacation. Dependent on your living expenses and the amount of unemployment you get. Life is short, if you can travel while collecting unemployment, then try and do so.

Been laid off a few times. I wish I traveled the first couple of times.
>focusing on core business and not supporting functions.

Having a devops team with the necessary expertise in Google Cloud or AWS is still a supporting function. You've just traded one skill (managing physical servers) for another (managing proprietary virtual resources).
But what's the current day scenario when you have to support old IEs? Security updates are only being provided for IE 11, which hopefully makes it default to the corporate sphere.
step 1 isn't "not obvious"; it's nonsense. What, exactly, are you trying to prove exists? e^z? e^z is undefined at this point. If you're trying to prove that e^i\pi=-1, you need to start with a definition of e^z.
What do you do? Where do you live? People here may be hiring.. ;) At least put some info in your profile..
"Then there's of course the fact that almost nobody (with citizenship) actually wants to pick crops, no matter what you pay them, because it's back-breaking labor. "

This is not true. There is absolutely a pay rate, and set of labour conditions in which Americans will do those jobs.

There are tons of innovation in labour: grabber/chopper rods so that people don't have to bend over all day - for example, could be one such innovation. But maybe it cuts down productivity by 30% - so in a 'cheap labour' world it would never be conceived of.

But if labour costs are high, and farm workers have to actually pay Americans - then guess what - those types of innovations definitely happen.

Do you realize how many 'really crap' jobs there are out there?

How about dealing with screaming customers all day on the phone, trying to 'upsell' them?

Some people prefer not dealing with issues, and doing something repetitive.

Also - the hypocrisy of employers not paying for social services, healthcare, taxes - etc. etc. - but the government giving them social services and 'access to emergency healthcare' and drivers licences?

Basically, farmers are externalizing the social costs of their labour onto you and I, in an inefficient way.

This is totally wrong.

Farmers - and others - are pushed to use 'illegal labour' because if 'the farmer next door' is doing it, and the 'farmer down the street is' - then they have no choice to.

The best thing is to make sure that everyone is paying minimum wage, taxes, basic healthcare, respecting workplace regulations etc. - and even hiring authorized workers.

This means that prices will rise for some things - and you and I will pay more for them in the store - but it's a far more responsible form of capitalism - and prices more accurately reflect cost to society.

Some things won't be able to be done in the US - that's fine. Move that to other places. Let Mexico and Africa have a cut of the business.

Finally - one way to accommodate a tight labour market in a legal and 'above bar' manner would be to allow for 'pink cards' - i.e. foreign workers can apply for 'pink cards' for specific intervals, they 'check in' and 'check out' of the country given that pink card. That card comes with a 'temp SID' which they can use to pay their taxes, and claim benefits associated with the term.

Unregulated black market economies are good for nobody in the long run, they lead to all sorts of problems and growing inequality.

Enforce immigration and workers laws, provide some ability to help with a tightened labour force (i.e. pink cards) and facilitate good trade flow (i.e. customs unions and free trade) for items which cannot be produced in the US.

"you don't give a shit about people and treat the world solely as an economics textbook"

Trust me - migrant workers 'don't get given a shit about' by anyone, because if they are 'off the books' they have absolutely no protections - nothing.

Put the economy 'above bar'.

There would be no war over migration if we just had some basic but intelligent rules that were responsibly enforced.

Don't be faked out by BMI; it's no different from the Dow Jones Index (something easy to calculate with pen and paper, or in your head), that gives you a low-resolution signal at best. If you have a BMI of 50 (or 16) you have problems, but you already knew that.

It's bizarre that people worship it, but then again, simplicity has always beat having to think.
I think you're right and this isn't the first time for me, there's been dozens of times a startup is announcing they are closing here on HN and it's the first time I have heard of them. Not a criticism of Staffjoy of course, it's just a general truth.
Most of HB56 was eventually struck down in court or settled out of existence, and cops stopped trying to enforce whatever is left of it. It was a huge embarrassment for the entire state, and likely contracted the state economy by as much as 6% the year after it passed, most severely in agriculture, construction, and hospitality. In subsequent years, investment stayed away, because few outside the state wanted the blatantly racist and xenophobic policy to rub off on their PR. But Alabama politics did not learn from the experience; people in the state still overwhelmingly supported Donald Trump in the 2016 elections.

Supporters of the measure still believe it would have worked if it was just allowed to operate as intended, rather than being blocked by the courts at every turn. To be fair, it did cause many of the prohibited aliens to leave the state, but it also caused their permitted and naturalized friends and family to leave with them, and it turns out all those people are actually a significant net benefit to the economy. Fewer crops have rotted, because farmers don't plant what they can't harvest.

In short, the state is still ruled by bad hombres and nasty women that shamelessly pander to an ill-informed populace.

Employers need employees. They won't go out of business rather than just hiring some full time people, unless the numbers say they have to.

> The fundamental problem is that employment law tries to treat the employer as a nasty exploiter

Because they are, almost inevitably, if left unchecked.
1) It's OK to panic for a short while. Get it out of the way so you can get past it and start job hunting properly.
2) Contact recruiters, get your CV brushed up, talk to your companies HR if you have it, they can be helpful in this situation, even if it's just helping you get your CV brushed up.
3) Update your linkedin in case someone out there is looking at profiles like yours, you never know, you might get lucky and bag a quick interview.
4) I'm guessing from the insurance thing you're in the US? Let HN know where you are!
5) Unless you're in dire straits financially, take a deep breath when you get your first job offer and make sure it's not a bad choice for you.
6) Use your free time well. Get out of bed in the mornings, get dressed, spend some time looking for a new job, but when that's done have something else to fill your time. If you can get a side project going you'll feel like you're at work which can really help keep motivated.
This is key.

Because Musk always says "There's a very good chance might not happen" very talented people perk up because what they hear is a guy dreaming with pragmatism. When very smart people see that, they want to help make it happen.
This is my favorite Bad TED talk - by a physicist using the power law straight line trick; https://www.ted.com/talks/sean_gourley_on_the_mathematics_of...

It was also published in Science. Sean also founded Quid.

I thought I was taking crazy pills when I saw it. I wondered how could this guy not know better and how could no one else around him know either.
Give me a break. The kernel developers know C. They know what "undefined behavior" means.
This is where I've come around to appreciating the FSF's moral argument for Free software a bit more than the instrumental-utility argument of the Open Source movement.

Open Source can be bad, in terms of quality. Closed source can be good, in terms of quality.

Security is an interesting case where I don't believe that you can be trustworthy and closed. Could the code be good? Yes. Can I validate in any meaningful sense that it doesn't violate my expectations? No.

Of course it's possible to have obfuscated malicious behavior in Free/Open Source software. But, there is at least the possibility of descovery of such defects. With closed source, there isn't.
Kinda. It's actually surprising how close it comes to skirting this issue (And it does skirt it), but I believe it's actually possible to use BSD sockets without ever violating the strict-aliasing rule (Though of course, there are ways of using it which would arguably violate the rule). In most cases for BSD sockets, strict-aliasing is more likely going to be broken in the kernel, not your code.

Well, firstly it's pretty unsatisfying to hear that yes, this API contravenes strict aliasing restrictions, but only on the library side! - essentially that it is impossible to implement the sockets C API in C.

That aside, this still excludes long-standing examples like embedding a pointer to struct sockaddr in your client struct, which points to either a sockaddr_in, sockaddr_in6 or sockaddr_un depending on where that client connected from (well, you can still do it, but now you can't examine the sockaddr's sa_family member to see what type the address really is - you need to have a redundant, duplicate copy of that field in the client struct itself).

The situation is similar with sockaddr_storage. The whole point of that type is to allow you to stash either AF_INET or AF_INET6 addresses in the same object and then examine the ss_family field to see what it really is - the text in POSIX says:

The <sys/socket.h> header shall define the sockaddr_storage structure, which shall be:

Large enough to accommodate all supported protocol-specific address structures

Aligned at an appropriate boundary so that pointers to it can be cast as pointers to protocol-specific address structures and used to access the fields of those structures without alignment problems

( http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/sys... )

Of course, it's also worth keeping in mind that the BSD sockets interface came before C89. You definitely wouldn't design it the same way if you were to do it today.

Well, the aforementioned sockaddr_storage came about after C89.

And wasn't C89 supposed to be about codifying existing practice, anyway?
Have had major issues with reporting using this tool with an "infinite scroll" or single page app type of setup. Serious under-reporting of the history state change.
Personally, I didn't find that any form of break between interviews made a difference (excepting when I had to fly out of state). I was fine doing 2-3 interviews (in person combined with phone) a day when they came up. It's probably a personal thing.

If you do need a break between interviews, submitting new applications or working on your skills makes for a decent filler. Like a regular paying job, you'll get out of your application efforts what you put into them.

This seems to be a pretty badly written infomercial.
As an extrovert who had experience travelling solo, I once found myself travelling to Germany at the last minute due to being the only person on the project with a passport (and, I'll note, German not a language I'd had any acquaintance with at the time). It provoked significant worry from me, especially given that my directions to the site involved public transit and directions of the "know it when you see it" sort.

So I can understand the concerns. Heck, I ran into issues later when I left my phrasebook behind. I couldn't remember the word "Geldautomat" and was out of cash. Fortunately I did find someone who spoke enough English to help.

That said, I found the Germans I met along my journey to be far friendlier than the typical American stereotype of them, and the trip went just fine (and many more like it, later) -- but I was already a seasoned traveler who was used to all the aspects of long-distance air travel.
Well, if you are using VMs and the site cannot afford to go down, then the 50k visitor site does need a cloud load balancer. Individuals VMs can fail anytime. These cloud load balancers can be a part of your HA solution, but yeah.. one also needs to make all other parts of the infrastructure HA (or at least HA-friendly) for this to work as expected, which is not necessarily a simple feat.

I hate being woken at night by emergency calls, so I would prefer to set everyone and everything up with HA solutions.

My question is since we have GTM. would it be much easier to just import GTM setting to new site you want to deploy?
And it also will be easier to make modification to those "tracker plugin".
