Ask HN: If people find out I come from a broken home, will it hurt my career?
I'll try to keep this short.

I grew up pretty disadvantaged. My family was severely dysfunctional and abusive, I don't know them anymore. I'm a middle school dropout.

Things that are normal subjects of conversation for most people -- small talk, even -- are really sensitive subjects for me. I don't have a story about my freshman year of high school. If you ask me what I'm doing for Thanksgiving, the answer is nothing. If you tell me about Christmas growing up, I don't have any story or experience to relate to yours. My Christmas growing up was spent sleeping in a car in a parking lot somewhere.

This makes it really hard to interact socially at work. When I do, I give very short responses to personal questions. I've even lied sometimes.

It can seem really halting and awkward, and people just assume I'm not very social or whatever, but the truth is I'm really social and I love talking to people, I just don't do it around people I know professionally because I don't want my past to impact my career.

I've been doing this my entire career (the last 3 to 6 years). I'm by far the least social person at every job I've had so far and this is why. I feel almost paranoid sometimes that people are going to find out and take away or somehow limit my success.

My belief is that if people know what I come from, they'll form a limiting belief about what position I should have or what I'm capable of, and I'll get passed up for promotions and offers and be at a disadvantage when negotiating my salary or raise.

Am I wrong about that?
I'm not in the US, so I dont know how that changes things; but when the company I'm working at started it's employee equity scheme it was setup as an interest-free loan to employees to purchase shares. The loan has conditions that the loan can only be repaid through the sale of the shares, with no recourse against my other assets.
I am reminded of https://github.com/FormalTheology/GoedelGod
Ok, I understand now. Thanks.

This is a pretty common way to write C, though, it's not something specific to this particular codebase. You just had a non-standard use case where you were constantly running into low-level bugs. (In an embedded platform?) If you aren't in that domain anymore, it's worth revisiting the trade-off. In most domains, gdb's continue command is super useful.
Calling out other websites as shit invites critique of their own, in my opinion.

As far as I can tell, the article is more about UX than UI. "The web acts like shit" would be a more proper title. The high contrast purple of the site is ironic I suppose, looking at their other articles. Can someone explain to me what the info icon is supposed to do in their social share area? [0] Why do most things lack a proper :hover state, instead relying entirely on cursor:pointer? Why is the share menu hidden behind a "return" icon?

>Share buttons and prompts to “read more” treat readers like idiots who don’t know how to do basic tasks

Pot meet kettle [1]. And no, it isn't just for this article to make an ironic point (like the purple background).

>Text that’s invaded by ads

Pot meet kettle [2].

Well let's give another article a chance.

>NEW RESEARCH SHOWS THE INTERNET IS A SWAMP AND THE TROLLS HAVE WON

>ongratulations, Twitter eggs, GamerGate supporters, and YouTube commenters — you win, the internet is all yours.

The contrast of their menu sucks on white backgrounds[3]. Tried to copy the first sentence, it's broken of course due to their unique first letter. Speaking of shitty web....way to go, you guys and gals managed to fuck up copy/paste.

On another note - I'm out. Lumping #GG with trolls? I'm sure I can expect quality investigative journalism from this site /s.

That's not the right example in this case. Here theranos gave the CEO the loan to buy the shares. Do employees get the same deal?

Could you elaborate? What's a booze bus? In the US, It's a pretty common occurrence to see someone pulled over and breathalyzed if they're driving erratically.
It's amusing seeing people try and spin this against Uber, wouldn't want to leave the bubble for to long.
You should see what law enforcement does.
The comment you're replying to wasn't meant as a comment on the case, but to rebut the idea that "at-will employment" is some sort of universally-valid, natural state. It's just one of many possible answers, and every society has come up with their own.

Regarding discovery, I must say that the US system is actually more advanced than Germany, where, in civil law, there isn't really a doctrine for recovering incriminating evidence (or otherwise compelling evidence) from the opposite side, apart from a few specific circumstances.
I think it's the old micro vs monolitihc argument.

If you rely on communication between external utilities you have to be pretty clear where you draw the line - I don't want to end up with javascript like leftpad debacle on my command line apps.

For the "edgy, morally-compromised anti-hero" genre, sure HBO/FX/AMC/Netflix have been nailing it for years.

However, in other areas it's PBS that's leaving them in the dust.

For example: I watch a lot of British cop shows. Nothing from the US can touch the stuff that WBGH brings over from BBC/ITV. Except maybe "Lie to Me", and it's been off the air for years.

PBS also rules whatever you'd call the "Downton Abbey genre". The last time they had competition there was from A&E in the mid 90s.
I think the unix design philosophy is great in theory, but in practice you get a lot of parts that have to be combined, this combination then gets tricky, so you will want a utility that just covers all the edges.

Lets see, I often use ls -tr

* the good thing about this is that it is very fast to type

* the bad part is that you have to memorize the incantation.

You could probably do it by a pipe (ls | sort <now it gets complicated here>)

* good: the good part is that every program does its job

* bad: also two programs have a larger footprint than one

* good: you can have it as an alias to make it short again

* bad: aliases can't be used in bash scripts, unless you explicitly source the file that defines the alias

* good/bad: you just shifted complexity from ls to sort

....
In Julia, a shell command is a semicolon away in the REPL:

;ls -al

Plus, it borrows the backtick notation from Perl:

run(`ls -al`)

And you can read the string returned for processing further within Julia:

x = readstring(`ls -al`)

And it supports pipelines...

Ask HN: Why isn't internet streaming as smooth an experience as watching TV?
Consider this question to be from someone who doesn't really know how television broadcasting works.

Whenever someone brings up streaming or even download of content over internet for things like movies or sports or any other program, the first thing that comes to mind is - oh, this could mean slow, buffered viewing experience or even something that might exceed my internet usage limit.

However, when it comes to television, I obviously don't worry about these lags in buffering or even bandwidth issues affecting the viewing experience. And televisions and the tecgnology behind it has been around for a long time.

So, what I am curious about is, in terms of technology, what is it that makes even live events on telivision be a pleasant viewing experience compared to internet streaming and why isn't (can't?) it be used/replicated for internet streaming? Same with the bandwith limits.
Based on personal experiences this isn't surprising. When I was in college in a small town in the late 00's, many friends and acquaintances would drive across town after heavy drinking. 10-15 minutes, straight roads, little traffic. Other than not going out, or not getting home, you didn't have many options. It was a hour long walk or a $20-40 cab ride, if you could get one.

I was recently back in town for a wedding and our uber to the hotel from the venue (about the same distance) was $9.

Once came to town (now on the east coast) I instantly noticed many friends who used to drive would take an uber. It's cheap, it's easy to call one from a crowded/loud place, you know how much it will cost, they don't use cash, they know where you are, and you don't have to give directions. For someone intoxicated (or anyone really), these are game changers.

It's the difference between "who's going to drive?" and "who's calling an uber?"

Company politics aside, the accessibility of ride-sharing services introduces numerous real safety benefits on top of the obvious convenience.

> Japanese Government said this week that it was willing to give away the software developed by the project to anyone who wanted it, even foreigners.

Was wondering what they released as a result. Surely after a $400 in 80's money they had some lines of code written.

Apparently they focused on concurrent logic programming and wasted a lot of money on exotic hardware in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_generation_computer by the time they were done off-the-shelf CPUs could run circles around the fancy workstations.
I like it. There are some annoyances to do with minor syntactical warts, like commas and semicolons, but all in all, I find it expressive.
My high school physics teacher got fired middle of the year. Turned out he wasn't at all licensed to teach and may or may not have actually finished college. He got all the way to tenure before anyone noticed. The guy was a wonderful teacher and knew his topic insanely well. Other students hated him cause he actually held students to a standard. Dude ran a convenience store out of his class room to fund our robotics team. He convinced me to re-enroll in the AP Physics B class under the promise that I wouldn't have to show up and instead would study AP Physics C (calculus) with him during his prep time. I was then bribed into this non-existent class with pirated software (thus getting me into programming). He did all of this so that there would be enough students enrolled in the AP Physics B class. For the record I got a perfect score on my exam. The man broke every rule in the book and our lives were better for it.

In conclusion, yes it happens. Yes you can be anti-rule anti-authority and still be successful and non-edgy. Fuck da police.
So on the one hand technology allows for better taxi services resulting in fewer impaired-driving accidents, on the other hand, technology in the form or gadgets (entertainment systems, phones, GPS, etc., distract drivers as well as pedestrians resulting in more accidents on the not-under-the-influence side of things.

Still 24+% reduction is quite an nice result.
There is nothing wrong with their financial model at the moment - it's just high stakes, winner takes all, swing for the fences style of company building.

The most famous example is Amazon, fueling growth with raised capital over emphasis if profits. It lets them capture market and mindshare and do it extremely cheaply - Uber has raised $8B for what is likely less than a third of the company - including $5B at $90B+ only 8 months ago

This is exactly what investors want - turn what some might grow to be a respectable 20-30x return into 1000x and a shot at global domination.

Its amazing how global uber is - it really has total mindshare outside of the small number of areas competitors operate. I've heard "uber" used as a verb in 4 languages and in about a dozen different countries.

Uber claim they're profitable in older markets on a margin basis. That bodes well for being able to grow into profitability as you run out of countries to grow into, which is a little better and different to Amazon.com's "flicking the profit switch"
Would you mind showing me their financials in the US market, so we can see the extent of the subsidization across different cities? I would like to see the numbers that you derived your claim from in regards to Uber's operations in the US.
OT: Does anyone know how to get an open-source kernel module signed by RedHat and be included in the CentOS kernel? Do they have a form/contact for this sort of request?
I recently had reason to get involved in networking at a low level and used it as an opportunity to see what all the SDN buzz was about. I came to have a deep appreciation for Open vSwitch and, like you, was surprised at the lack of good documentation and tutorials.

The man pages are very good, but beyond simple bridging the documentation is weak and generally seems to assume the reader is familiar with a lot of concepts in advance. In particular, there seems to be tremendous power in using OVSDB to control OVS across nodes. There is even an OVN project that looks very interesting. However, it seems that most documentation assumes your either using Open Daylight (which is itself a complicated mess) or that your using OpenStack or similar.

OVS is definitely in need of some love from the wider community and needs to come out from the shadows.
Possibly they're just trying to get the page views.

Why you & not another such service? And how can I be sure of continuity of articles when they could be written by a different author each time? I'm imagining a worst-case-scenario where a reader comment requires a reply & I'm unable since I didn't personally write the content.
Yes, it's misleading. It's peer to peer but it doesn't speak the same protocol. You can look at the docs of its network protocol. https://zeronet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/help_zeronet/networ...

Back in 1983 the authors of UNIX were already complaining about the proliferation of incompatibilities. As far as "true unix" is concerned nothing this paper refers to is considered "true unix".

It seems that UNIX has become the victim of cancerous growth at the hands of
organizations such as UCB. 4.2BSD is an order of magnitude larger than Version
5, but, Pike claims, not ten times better.

I have a friend who went through something like this. First off, depending upon the nature of the exact charges there are situations where if it appears you lied or hid or intentionally destroyed evidence the court can find against you and just assume the worst when punishing. So there is a reason to be honest.

Second, if the plaintiff desires it, they can sue you and your employer both. Name you both in the same suit. It binds you together and drives you apart at the same time. Let the law suit hang for a while and many people would want to just quit and try to settle, your employer could end up suing you in that case, especially if you doing that damages or appears to damage them. Maybe worse, say the company has the data somewhere and you destroyed your computer to prevent searching, you look like a total liar.

How it works is a trusted forensics guy that you hire, he copies all of your stuff. The lawyers hash out some agreements, your lawyers protect your interests but it's a discovery process that they are agreeing on. Think of it as search terms, they come up with some number of search terms related to the charges. Your lawyers are trying to protect your rights and limit the searches to what is alleged. its not supposed to be fishing. It's a game of sorts though, like a number of terms will be agreed to and then your lawyers want the other guys to waste them on bad searches. Then you pay your guy to search your data and report the findings to the court. He says he found x files with their copyright or that it looks like you formatted your drive the day after you got served or other things. And it's evidence in the case.

> Do you have a source for that claim

No. :-)

I am going off the basis that people come to enjoy the taste of specific brands of cigarettes they smoke a lot, as a result of nicotine addiction. I also don't have a source for that, but when I read it ... somewhere ... it was presented as well-sourced.

> I'm willing to bet you could

Perhaps. I'd be just as willing to bet that most people don't because they never drink enough of it to get to that point, on account of it not having psychoactive chemicals in it.
If you're a founder, why wouldn't you 83B all of your shares right away when they're worth $.0000001 per share?
Recourse is only the stock though right? So it's not really a loan but more of a gift... I'm surprised Congress, the IRS, or the SEC allows it. Especially as a tax dodge.
That's not at all where I thought you were going with that. Some rule breakers are good others are bad. Some only break certain rules. I'm confused as to why he didn't finish college online or something when they found out? I've seen teachers be emergency certified in similar circumstances.

What do you mean by that? Just curious.
This is most ridiculous. Writing opinion on something like this in what some consider bastions of free speech and then having some of the student body wanting to censor said speech is unbelievable.

It's understood sexual assault is an issue at campuses --focus on that. Focus on providing guidance to new arrivals, acceptable sexual behavior, etc. But to censor opinion on the subject in institutions of high learning is ridiculous. It's unfortunate that some faculty as well as student bodies have been complicit in the new baseline for what consists of harm --it's no longer bodily harm or physical assault but rather ideas and opinions --this is very sad. I can only think back to my days in Uni. What a strange unrecognizable world it has become.
Hi Oliver, congrats on the launch!

With a self-driving taxi what kind of challenges and opportunities do you see in terms of the passenger's request and ride experience (i.e. in the BI article there's a reference to using voice controls for music/navigation)
The article hinges far, far too strongly on the "do one thing" part of the definition, and largely ignores the "do it well". The optional flags to 'ls' are there to help "do it well".

If we're going to use the overzealous puritism of the article's definition, why not go further? My keyboard driver isn't unix-ey, because I can use it to input a 'k'. Or a 'K'. Or a lot of other characters. The argument in the article would mean that for a keyboard driver to be unix-ey, it should only output a single character. Nevermind the fact that I have 104 options on the HID at my fingertips, if my driver allowed that, it wouldn't be "doing one thing"!
Even 35% seems to low to me... I really thought/wish it was lower. Hopefully the reduction in bad driving practices start to reduce car insurance premiums as well.

Funny you should mention this in a thread about Dan Boneh's crypto class.

David Brumley and Dan Boneh, "Remote Timing Attacks Are Practical." In Proc. USENIX Security Symposium, 2003.
https://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/ssl-timing.pdf

Abstract

Timing attacks are usually used to attack weak computing devices such as smartcards. We show that timing attacks apply to general software systems. Specifically, we devise a timing attack against OpenSSL. Our experiments show that we can extract private keys from an OpenSSL-based web server running on a machine in the local network. Our results demonstrate that timing attacks against network servers are practical and therefore all security systems should defend against them.
It seems to be one guy working on the full project which is opensource so you could do PRs to fix it or donate money.

It's easy to point issues and not do anything to help.
Pointless stories that supposedly "educate and inform" the public, about something way above their pay grade seem to be the norm these days.

As a manager most of my time these days seems to get spent in reminding people they don't have to come up with constructive narratives for every complex problem the internet or life dumps on them.

If you are really interested in an issue put in the work. Find an expert. If the experts don't have great answers and you are still interested put in the work. This discipline seems to have evaporated these days.

Every one is programmed for instant gratification that comes from just reacting and being satisfied with the like button counter of the reaction.

Hard problems are hard. Its okay to say you have no idea how to solve it. But don't use it as an excuse to not get an expert involved.
I'm rooting for both teams!

I switched to uBlock for a few years ago and had the opposite problem, it just seemed to break a few websites.
I didn't really dig into it, but from memory it seemed to be blocking a lot of requests it shouldn't resulting in things like Facebook Messenger breaking. So it's interesting that you point out they both use EasyList.

Perhaps I'll give it another try, but honestly, i don't notice any adverts with ABP so i tend to forget it's even there. I definitely noticed when uBO was installed.
