I don't believe HN should be front paging anonymous content without some proof of having worked at Uber.
I've create a really basic comparison site which allows you to find the best price for your preferred domain/TLD.

I've certainly found it helpful and I was initially surprised how vast the prices can be for the same domain/period.
this is awful.
Making a pass usually isn't considered harassment, unless you repeatedly do it. At least, for how I define making a pass(ask on a date). Maybe that is a bit more conservative than some people's definition of making a pass.
If you're actively pursuing "the simplest server-side WebRTC UDP implementation" and the associated tech support then you should throw UDP into your project description and README alongside "DataChannels" for noobs like me.
I'm really curious what this benchmark would be for JavaScript V8? Anyone have the time to recreate the same functionality to test in Node?

Our litmus test is this, I don't know if it gets to the heart of the question but I feel it does.

We look at essentially, (but not unequivocally) these things

1. Proven experience and desire to learn is a must. One of the best i have ever worked with came from a place where they worked pilot projects, and had to manage all their infrastructure themselves as the developers. No certs, no formal SRE experience (IE, thats not why he was employed previously). One of the best. He loved the work, and I could tell he learned so much doing this. It doesn't have to be this extreme, but having a proven interest in this line of work is top priority.

2. Is their depth better than their breadth? It is correct that you need a LOT of breadth, however I value the depth first. I'd rather someone have say, a medium about of breadth on the different technologies out there and a lot of depth on core subjects, like container management (this happens...everywhere nowadays) or cluster management. I don't need you know every single implementation of this in depth though. I need you to at least know one implementation of this in depth. I can build on that.

3. Because of the first 2, I need someone who is team oriented, as always.
I don't think you're looking at it the right way.

Coworker or not, consent and respect is essential.

I've had sex with coworkers and never been accused of inappropriate behaviour, turns out if we're all adults it works out.
It has to do with the mucus in the nasal cavity not draining properly do to the lack of gravity. Most of your sense of taste is actually due to smell which is reduced when you have a stuffy nose. There are probably other contributing factors, but this is one I remember hearing.
I use LastPass, the free version allows password syncing across all your devices seamlessly. Chrome extension is very good, the iOS app could be better but it does the job.
The speed of a desktop UI client shouldn't be related to how quick the server is.
It seems like they didn't like that he didn't disclose the fact to them.
One day, during a multi-hour car-ride, I drilled my wife on French numbers by reading off the license plates we saw. She would translate two and three digits.

Her instructor said she had never seen someone improve so fast.
I have similar concerns. I really used Pocket a lot. Two times I got an e-mail at the end of the year that I'm in the top 1% of their users. That was nice!

I want distraction free reading which means no social recommendations, sharing and other stuff. Things I would really like is pdf support, x days of reading left, auto scrolling and detailed statistics about my reading. Also cool would be some garbage collection, e.g., news articles are useless to read in 2 weeks but a blog post may be still useful in a few years.
Facebook for innovators?
> Urmson, when at Google, said that their testing taught them that humans cannot take over fast enough to deal with automation failures. This echoes what the aviation community has discovered over the years - when someone who isn't actively flying has to take over control, it takes seconds or tens of seconds before they have full situational awareness.

I'm disappointed that this didn't become the prevailing wisdom for self-driving cars. With the current state of affairs, it seems there's a real risk of a few accidents causing this administration to pull the plug on self-driving altogether until we get a progressive administration again.

Perhaps Urmson ought to have published this research so that others could use their methods and reproduce the results. It seems to me that user-study was the most important part of their research.
After this, why should I donate to Mozilla? I really don't get what's the difference between donating to Mozilla and donating to Facebook. Facebook open-sources some of their stuff.
Facebook buys companies to generate revenues... I guess Mozilla doesn't need help anymore.

I wonder how many execs the investors will let Kalanick burn through before they go after him. It seems like they could solve a lot of their image problems by deposing him. Just look how easily the public was deceived with Uber vs Lyft in the JFK immigration ban strike. He must be quite adept at managing them.
The only thing that forces me to keep Thunderbird around are mailing lists. I haven't found anything else that doesn't break quoting or messes with word/line wrapping in plaintext mails. To be fair, even Thunderbird requires quite a bit of about:config tuning to get it to behave sanely.

I suppose I'll have to learn to live with mutt eventually.
My opinion is that this anonymous post lacks credibility and the author is most likely LARPing. Is it really so offensive to have a skeptical view?

> It was normal for guys to refer to other guys as fags when they didn’t participate in private parties where sex and drugs were involved. It was normal for guys to openly refer to attractive female colleagues as sluts when they refused to go out with them.
Yes, this misses the point i'm making however - I think fields connote more than just the "excited state" part (the particle).

Particles aren't exactly the same idea because they don't explain the coupling between fields, or things like 'virtual particles' which don't "count" as real particles but have important real behaviors of the field itself.
"You want them to remove one of the most useful feature of Firefox?"

Completely subjective. Also pointless as it could easily just be an addon. It's just bloat however and my own subjective POV is it's useless. I've never once used it, have no desire to use and don't even know anyone who uses it.

So yeah, there ya go

Wow, this is actually really good. Thank you! This will help immensely for my Russian.

Any plans for ads or monetization, or are you just going to keep it as a free thing?
The front pageness is a function of the credibility and interestingness of the articles posted.

HN is not journalism, it's a water cooler. There's some rules for decorum but little to no editorial function.

All the factories left town, because those businesses could do what they do cheaper in China or Vietnam or Singapore or Mexico.

Trump promised to put big taxes on goods coming in from overseas, and on companies who close US factories to move operations to other countries. It's a simple, direct assault on the immediate causes of the problems of these communities, and something no national politician has dared to consider in recent memory.

Experts and mainstream politicians warn that this kind of policy will cause a global depression. But these are the same experts and mainstream politicians who've told these people that the globalization which destroyed their communities is good for them. What they say so plainly contradicts these communities' first hand experience, that it's really hard to believe them.
There's really no reason not to name Mike #2. If this is real, he already knows who you are.
The challenge is how to handle that situation.

Exactly. Like simply wait for enough (obvious) green lights before making a move. Like, you know, mature, consenting adults. A modicum of tact and subtlety couldn't hurt, either ;)

No matter how much people try to avoid romantic entanglements at work, it happens.

And indeed, it's silly (and borderline delusional) to pretend otherwise.

Nice idea, and I appreciate that metacritic ratings were used to sort the movies.

But I went way, way down the list, and I didn't see a single one I wanted to watch. I saw a tiny handful that I recognized, but that's it.
Not sure if you're serious but a Picatinny rail would be way over engineering for small phone peripherals. Consumers wouldn't accept something so bulky and sharp. And the mounting point should be at the bottom of the phone next to the USB port to allow for a secure electrical connection.
From the announcement: "Pocket will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Mozilla Corporation"

Mozilla Corporation is a for-profit, taxable entity. Here are their articles of incorporation: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/documents/articles-.... It is itself a wholly owned subsidiary of Mozilla Foundation, which is the non-profit thing that people call "Mozilla". The Foundation is really just a holding company. The thing that people call "Mozilla" that does all of the work is The Corporation.
Pathes in Linux are reviewed by multiple people before merging. Even if you create a collision and submit patch you cannot really do much without write access to repo. It is even more difficult because person merging path will not fast forward in most cases.

This attack still do not allow for inserting a arbitrary data in arbitrary places to make attack on Linux possible. Finally SHA1 in git also take size into consideration and make this attack even more expensive[2].

People should really chill out. There are cheaper attack vectors that collisions.

It comes as no surprise to me that a company as cavalier toward local laws and its drivers as Uber is would also mistreat its other workers.

On the off-chance Amy or Susan is reading this, thanks for sharing your stories.
My son read it in 3rd grade, after I helped him read the first chapter. It was the first adult book he'd ever read. He was so excited to then be able to see the movie.

I'm wildly supportive of the PG version of the book. There are a lot of prudish parents out there, and public schools naturally have to be inclined toward folks who complain the most.

It would be tragic to allow a few bad words to keep such an inspiring book from millions of children who wouldn't see it otherwise.
We did do stuff like that. There was Chinese restaurant that we forwarded an order too but pretended to be the Chinese restaurant. We actually tried to talk them out of the order yet they kept ordering. We said things like "oh that tastes like dog and smells like skunk... you still want?" (apologies if I offend anyone with terrible stereotypes). They preceded to still order though!

> Can you make the titlebar change as the price changes?

Yes, that seems to be possible. I'll add it to the todo list.

> Why is the cheapest case $108 and PSU $70?

That should not be like that. I guess for the case this can happen when the cooler or the gpu is very large and it has no remaining other option. I'll check whether the data is correct, but I expect that problem to go away when the newegg API works better. As you noticed there are still some problems (they don't take EANs and the manufacturer-sku sometimes produces different products than expected).

I thought about adding a second list with the components that don't fit currently, and that will replace the non-fitting component with something like a closest match.

For the psu, there suddenly seem to be holes in the offer-database for the US. Very bad timing. The german version now gives a better impression on how that should work...

> I'm surprised by the omission of the Pentium G4560 as a midrange CPU.

Midrange is the wrong word for that one :) I mean that positively, is has a great performance for its price. It's just either not listed or not in stock and thus ignored. If it becomes available again it should show up shortly after, the system does know it, and uses it in the german and french variant.

> Also RAM doesn't change when going from Intel/DDR4 to AMD/DDR3. I'd probably just remove the really low-end AMD setups anyway.

Thanks for catching that. Hmpf, I did just fix that yesterday already. But the US version seems to know of no offer for ddr3 ram anymore. I'll have to work on that API integration, and prevent this from happening.

> But really my biggest question is why should I use this over PCPartPicker? They show a lot more specs than just normalized performance, and being able to sort by total reviews from many sites is really great.

Let me preface that: I like pcpartpicker. They build what I set out to build many years ago (I don't think they existed back then?), only that I pivoted very soon to the performance comparison approach and then did not take the project seriously for a while, during which they pulled through, built a community and a business. I do respect that.

But honestly, that pivot and its workflow is why: Just entering a price and getting a working PC is so much faster than what I understand as being the pcpartpicker-workflow. For me, the recommendations most of the time work quite well, and if not are easy adaptable with the arrows, and now maybe with the custom selection.
By that logic it should be illegal to marry if you are post-menopausal, infertile, a carrier of a genetic disease, or openly express an interest to remain child-free.

Gay families can and do raise children. Being unable to naturally produce children doesn't preclude raising children.

My mother-in-law is gay. When she was a young adult, before she came out, she got married and had children because "that's what you did" and she didn't have the courage to go against what was expected of her.

She, however, was incredibly miserable. Her distress with being gay and married to a man was a huge contributor to her drug and alcohol addition at that time. As a result her children didn't have a good family life.

Finally she was distressed enough to divorce my father-in-law and come out.

She's now married to a woman, totally sober, much healthier (she dropped over 100 pounds), and very happy.
So you think an accusation is all that is needed to sack an employee? I think the bar should be higher than that. There should be some minimal verification that the accusation--which happened in another company--is legitimate.
I have been working on a prototype for a competitor to Pocket and other save-for-later services with an emphasis on minimalism, privacy and ease of use.

https://slushi.es

Very early app, features are rolling out daily. My end goal is to build a recommendation engine out of user data, while keeping things anonymous.

Although social bookmarking has been done plenty times before, I think execution has been sub-par in previous solutions. My aim is to make things streamlined and fast for the user to go from 'what was that link?' to 'there it is' (sidenote: check out slushi.es opensearch, and how it behaves when there's one result (only works for signed-in users)).

A complaint I hear often from Pocket users (and other save-for-later users alike) is that they will save 100s of links without ever going back to reading them. I, too, shared the same sentiment until one day I experienced a 'what was that link again?' moment. It was rare and fleeting at the time, but since using slushi.es more and more, those moments have appeared with increasing frequency.

I believe the best save-for-later app will transform the regular web browsing individual's habits of reading an article and forgetting about it, to reading an article and remembering it later; either a day later, a month later, or perhaps years. The thing is remembering. I think a good save-for-later app works as a memory reinforcer; something that augments your ability to build and recall knowledge.
Yet again the nerds have become the bullies.

The discussion should not be about marriage, but about the right to adopt children and to grant citizenship to spouses.

Next I wonder, what are the arguments against marriage for polygamists? And if I can marry several people (how many - 100 perhaps?), do I have to prove I love them before they get the right to live in my country?
Having expected patterns of behavior smooths interaction between people. Bringing things back to the book: The dude's in a tough situation, with much less reason to self-censor thoughts he might be having. It makes sense that social niceties would be out the window.
Your parent may be referring to the events described that happened prior to 2017.

That was the key to things like Eliza... set the expectations and staging so that the user adopts a mental model that fits the constraints of the tool. Too many times we try to be too clever or throw technology at a problem that is more easily and reliably solved with social engineering.
Wow, while I expected more stories to surface, this one seems to be a whole different level. But then again, Uber seems to be a really dysfunctional company.
> Implying that leaving Google for Uber is inherently not "do[ing] good" is pretty slanted.

In some circles, some companies are inherently evil and "do[ing] good" seen as fundamentally incompatible with private enterprise. With that in mind, leaving Google for Uber and wishing to "do good" becomes the height of hypocrisy.
Benefits, but I think also some obligations?

Endorsement for PHP?

"If you were any other man, I would kill you where you stand!"
>Sure, c/c++ has more libs, ...

My problem is honestly that Cargo has spoiled me. C (& C++) may indeed have more libraries; but adding them to a project is a non-trivial exercise.

Assuming your project subscribes to the "build it with one command" philosophy then:

- You'll need to install the target project's build system

- You'll need to invoke that from your project's build system

- You'll need to copy those artifacts (which depends upon implementation details of their build system) to the right output directory (which depends upon implementation details of your build system.)

- Then finally you get to include the headers complete with ifndef guards. (Honestly it's getting increasingly more difficult for me to even tolerate C/C++ header files.)

- P.S: probably repeat this list for every target platform you build on.

---

When installing a package takes a single line of configuration, or a single command, I am far more likely to ignore my "not invented here shoulder-demon" and just add a 3rd party dependency. In C/C++ I actively avoid adding dependencies, regardless of how numerous they may be.
This is very interesting. Does it use markdown as well or just plain markup/html in the manuscript?

Embedding Knowledge Graphs Based on Transitivity and Antisymmetry of Rules [pdf]
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." -John Dalberg-Acton. It saddens me how much I have seen that quote play out in my life...
Yes, but there's a standard meaning of "do good", which refers to philanthropic work, especially the kind with a managerial role in that very work.

Certainly, there are ways to "do good" by optimizing your earnings and using them to bankroll the good, but then that no longer works as an explanation for leaving -- a different job in basically the same role would be the same "work constraint"; his MO for "doing good" would be unchanged, just with possibly a bigger source of income for it.

His statement makes much more sense as a cover for the bad reasons, as when you hear "resigning to spend more time with his family [and totally not because of accounting fraud that we're still untangling]".
Not sure I understand this. This guy doesn't sound like a nerd at all. More like a BSD.
Seriously, I'm not sure how they can even pretend to have reached that conclusion. It would require interviewing random LinkedIn users without endorsements (including ones with no technical ability at all) and then rating them.

I certainly think that LinkedIn endorsements aren't exactly a meaningful metric. But they're not meant to be. They're just a simple tool for finding people who can even nominally program.
Thanks! added to my list!
I don't think people should be allowed to comment without some proof of being a person.
I'd rather have it there. Sure, there's no supporting evidence, but I want those still working at Uber to read it. They're in the position to decide whether it accords with their experience. Sometimes it can be hard to see what's in front of your face.
