That was not a shot taken by the article, but by people who couldn't find jobs. H-1Bs are an easy scapegoat - certainly easier to explain your lack of success in finding a job because of H-1B visa holders rather than your own lack of in-demand skills.
You literally asked the question:

"Whats sexist about going to an excort bar?"

I'm simply answering the question. Please stop being so rude.
Is there any proof that this is standard for Car companies?

Tech companies are bound to have good procedures for tech... that's what they do.

Car companies? They should be good at car stuff... but... tech stuff?

Look at all the angst surrounding the IOT - companies making buggy/hack-able stuff that otherwise make good things - IE Washing Machines, Refrigerators, etc... look at all the stories about how hack-able stuff involving cars is...

Personally? I don't have a lot of faith in "Old" companies getting tech right.
I read an article couple months ago in a RL car magazine where they test-drove a Mercedes prototype. They had the impression that it drove almost perfect, even dealing with complicated highway construction sites without proper safety lines.
Well, it's by design that the videos are downloaded. That said, I haven't done any work with streaming, so I'm not sure how to go about that. I did play (a long while back) with attempting to embed the videos in html5 player, but I didn't get far.

You can easily delete the video once it's downloaded and viewed though. I wanted a way to download a bunch of videos, and then just copy them where I wanted (so, if I was going on a plane ride or whatever I could have a bunch of content easy to look at)

That said, PRs are welcome, just make sure that whatever functionality you add it's easy to configure (and remove, if streaming isn't what's wanted)

But yes, it does take heaps of space ;)
Conducting business within your company in the context of a men's only sporting league or athletic club is also clearly legally problematic.

You're definitely wrong about phones. In 2002-5, Palm was shipping a variety of Treos, which even at the time were clear early-adopter smartphones. Plenty of other companies were investigating the market and shipping early experiments.

The IBM quote has no apparent basis in fact: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_J._Watson#Famous_attrib...

And you're entirely wrong about 1990. Plenty of people thought there would be a global network. The WELL started in 1985, and plenty in that community had good notions about the future. The initial work on the Internet goes back to the 1970s, and many there too understood where it was going:

https://www.amazon.com/Where-Wizards-Stay-Up-Late/dp/0684832...

So if you're going to use the past to predict the future, please at least use some actual past, rather than one you make up to justify your notions.
In my memory of the internet becoming a thing in the early 90s, there was an intense fight over the commercialization of it. There was a group that really didn't want it to support money-making enterprises. Even at the time it seemed like a losing battle, but I doubt anyone foresaw just how overwhelming the commercial forces would be.

Philosophically, I agree. Pragmatically, generics seem to tempt programmers into writing really weird code in pursuit of some purist notions of terseness or reusability. After having used Go as well as lots of languages with generics, I will say that most Go programmers write very similar code for very similar problems, and it does make it easier for programmers to understand each other's code. There are a few times that user-defined generics would be handy, but those times are really very rare and I'm not convinced that adding generics to the language would be a net positive. In fact, I think the case for algebraic data types is stronger than the case for generics.
And the even greater plus of being runnable. If it's confusing/ambiguous to you, you're not stuck.

> It's also extremely difficult to rank content using search engines, as anyone who knows about SEO will testify. The market is very crowded and big content brands dominate the top positions. In short, content on the web is a commodity.

My experience contradicts this. Probably because we are talking about different things.

If you look for "hotels in new york" or "how to not get fat?" or something about trump. It is indeed crowded, the search engines are already filled with "relevant" results and you cannot compete with that.

yet for every of this non sense, there are other ten expressions who are not crowded and it's very easy to rank on top.

The first means that you cannot create another useless stupid news site filled with non news and rank anywhere significantly on these topics.

The latter one means you can write about targeted topics and rank on the first page very easily on them.

Ask HN: How will we handle security when computation gets even faster?
The current encryption/hashing algorithms are based on the premise that it is virtually impossible to generate all possible permutations of the character set to reverse a hash or decrypt a byte stream, in meaningful time.

How are we planning to address this in the future when the computational powers exceed way beyond what we have today? Just curious what is being done to address this.

Well, I'd read enough about Vue on HN that I wanted to have a play with it. I'd call myself "full stackish", but I'm certainly no pro at JS. I'd played a little with React (about a year ago) and found it somewhat more finickety to work with, and more heavyweight.

Vue on the other hand I found _very_ straightforward to use and really enjoyable. I did make the effort to use the .vue components, so most of the logic is in nice self contained units. That said, React certainly has a huge user base & is probably a safer bet long term. I just found Vue easier to understand and use & for me that's important (esp on a toy side project which is supposed to be _fun_ ;)

Thank you for your hints! I took some time and reed some articles about the differences between C++ and C#. Starting to work with C# would mean that I would again be limited by some sandbox/framework and to some specific dependencies.

Somewhat related - I use amazon price alerting services (camelcamelcamel.com and keepa.com) for some items that are on my wish list.

In the past few months I received much more price drops alerts than ever before. Most of these are by new stores that have no reviews.

Knowing that I'll be covered by Amazon, and tempted to give what I guessed would be a scum a chance, I ordered two items from different stores and as I expected I never got the items. Eventually got a refund from Amazon.

I'm not sure why Amazon isn't putting more effort to prevent these stores from popping up. Most of them I've noticed publish dozens if not hundreds of items for ridiculous prices. Even a simple capping mechanism for new stores would have made this much more difficult than it is to set up this scum.

While Ebay does not excel in that regard either, it does cap new sellers sales volume as well as allows buyers to report suspicious activity. Ebay's algorithm isn't especially smart - I often notice stores that were inactive for years yet retain good feedback record, pop up back to life with new low priced supplies and eventually turn out to be a scum (most likely hacked accounts).
"Stealth aircraft still reflect radiowaves, they just don't reflect them back at the source. This can be effectively countered by separating radar transmitter and receiver in space."

There are also radar absorbing materials and coatings involved, though to be sure they don't absorb everything. The modern curved stealth airframes also diffuse the return, weakening it considerably.

"It is also possible to use existing transmitters (e.g., FM radio, cell towers) to build passive radar that does not emit anything itself."

Sure, although stealth aircraft are most vulnerable to long wavelength radar, which lack precise positional detection.

Also, if you're using cell/FM etc. transmitters, those are easily shut down by strikes on power stations, or EMP.

An interesting, revolutionary approach is quantum radar, which uses entanglement to detect photon interaction with the target. It's pretty far from prime time though.

Having done that sort of work early in my career, I think that's a bit much.

My first job in California started out with two 6-foot stacks of octal dumps of operating system crashes, for a mainframe OS that was running 1-2 hours between crashes. I worked through those slowly, with colored pencils and highlighting markers, figuring out what had gone wrong, then putting a fix into the OS, in assembler. Gradually the stacks got shorter and the time between crashes increased. When I left that job, we were going a month between crashes.

Then I changed jobs to work on operating system design and proof of correctness.

This is why I'm so negative on unsafe code in Rust. Memory safety is essential. There are programmers who think they are so good that they don't need bounds checking. They are wrong.

You're presumably still handling package installation, deployment etc. via something handled in-house, no?

Certainly the "tending hardware" part of sysadminry is outsourceable, but unless you're going full-serverless there's still a bunch of systems work to do - so it may be longer before a full time sysadmin is worth the money, but one will likely be value for money eventually.
"Debt bondage, also known as debt slavery or bonded labor, is a person's pledge of labor or services as security for the repayment for a debt or other obligation. The services required to repay the debt may be undefined, and the services' duration may be undefined.[2] Debt bondage can be passed on from generation to generation." [0]

Your sister surely could not be forced to work for Crossfit. Neither are Valley engineers there to pay a debt. Their signing bonus is not a loan in exchange for labor.

Claiming bonded labor is a way to "improve the human capital of" workers means you see these people as inferior than yourself. It also means you do not believe they are entitled to basic human rights, as defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

"Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment. Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work. Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection. Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests."[1]

I'm skeptical of your claim that "most" gladiators were just professionals freely doing a job. If so, please cite these "old actual sources".

As to your claim that modern combat sports aren't safe because some athletes have suffered injury, I'd like to hear why that doesn't apply to any sport. Or even any job where someone at some point gets injured. The fact that a vanishlingly small number of MMA contestants have "spoiled their future" due to injury is irrelevant without knowing the broader context of how many haven't, how it compares to other activities, etc.

Lots of activities are risky, that doesn't make them morally reprehensible and it's baffling to me that anyone can make that claim with a straight face.

Even if it WAS very dangerous and they freely choose to compete in a sport where half will end up with a lifelong injury, it still doesn't have anything to do with slavery, animal torture, murdering civilians, etc.

RE: Mottaini - always-pray is definitely annoying, but I don't think it holds up with deeper strategy. If your opponent is doing it vehemently, remember that you now have absolute control over what actions they take, and find a route that you can exploit much better than them.

It's impossible for me to believe that it's part of Amazon's strategy to encourage, or even allow, counterfeits -- it might be fine for a smaller company, but it appears to be doing real brand damage at this point.

Yet Amazon shows no signs of stopping it -- this has been going on for years. Is it just a really hard problem for some reason that isn't obvious? (Like you catch one seller, and they'll immediately re-register under a different name? Or false counterfeit claims outweigh real ones?)

I mean, I still can't wrap my head around why Amazon would comingle FBA merchandise with merchandise Amazon bought directly from the manufacturer, and thus unknowingly sell counterfeits directly. People say this happens, that buying "Ships from and sold by Amazon" can still be counterfeit -- does that happen really? People certainly say it does... is it really something common? It's hard to believe Amazon could be so dumb to do that... why on earth would they?

I feel like this just doesn't make sense. Amazon isn't Uber. Shady practices don't seem like their thing at all. So why is this still happening?

Yesterday's thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13946588
> If you work in the private sector, where the primary reason for existing is to make a profit, your job directly or indirectly contributes to that goal.

I work in the private sector. I meet many people whose contribution to profit is, at best, indeterminable.

The primary reason for existing in the private sector is whatever the directors decide it is. That need only align with profit-making to the extent required to keep the company afloat.

Not only are directors not necessarily single-mindedly committed to profit above all else, even when they are they aren't omniscient. One way pointless jobs could come about is because directors are just wrong about how much manpower a project requires.

Another way pointless jobs arise is empire building. I think anyone who has worked in a company with more than a few managers has encountered employees who exist solely for the purpose of bolstering a manager's team.

Perhaps the manager straight-up doesn't care about the interests of the company and just wants the largest team. Or, perhaps they're forced to hire N people even if they don't need them lest they lose budget for when they do need N people.
So you're talking about those exaggerated comedic situations, then? The ones that were obviously unrealistic and meant for cinematic purposes?

An educated mind does not interpret Django as a trustworthy source for information about slavery in early America and knows it shouldn't be cited in any essay on the subject except to make a comparison to actual events. If people are taking Django into account in their view of American slavery then that is an issue of education and not propaganda on behalf of Tarantino.

The C++ Core Guidelines[0] specify — albeit kinda verbosely — how to write modern C++. Implementation support to enforce these guidelines is ongoing, but MSVC and clang-tidy offer some support.

There are some domains and industries that break from these guidelines (or similar subsets) for various reasons, but generally speaking this is the sensible approach to take.
