The bulk of moderation on HN is done by the users so if you see something that violates the rules flag it.
Then why do you think will the current technology still be useful, given an order of magnitude higher price?
Or another example of how I see ads on the internet:

You walking down the street having a guy handing out leaflets, trying to force his leaflet on you... You're most likely to get annoyed by them.

There is a little stand at the corner having leaflets, without anyone yelling in your face or handing it out, you're more likely to go grab one if the product fits you.

Walking to work every morning I have created my real life AdBlock, where I just ignore people handing stuff. (Not their fault... just businesses not understanding how to change ways)

When I lived in the same town as my friends, I didn't really need a reminder. Now I, and a lot of my friends, live half a world away from one another, and it's remarkably easy to fall out of touch. Also, as Facebook dies and impromptu phone calls become awkward (the social niceties around phone calls seem to have shifted dramatically) I find myself feeling more isolated.

Though really, maybe that's just being in my thirties.

People can use a ton of tabs for a ton of reasons. I used to do the same thing at times, when I used Treestyle tab in Firefox. But it's an old type of extension soon to be deprecated, and was giving me bugs on browser updates (maybe due to it being a XUL extension).

The add-on put tabs on the side of the screen, and grouped them up into trees, which you could also collapse. So if you were to browse Wikipedia and click on all sorts of links, you'd have a whole tree with different branches. Then when you take a break, you just collapse the tree and start a new tree. Want to reference something from the Wikipedia tree? Just expand it again!

It worked really well with the session restore functionality of Firefox, which doesn't reload all tabs again when the browser launches. So you had very little performance impact for what felt like the perfect bookmark and tab integration.

So in order to reach 100+ tabs, it's just one hour of casual browsing per day and within a week you'll have 100 tabs open of Wikipedia trees, various clothing stores, a code problem tree or two, and a HN tree with all the little interesting links.

Then you may wonder why you wouldn't just bookmark pages and close tabs? Personally I open bookmarks a few times a year, but this Treestyle extension made me click around so many times per day.

(By the way, if anyone has found a similar add-on please let me know)
I disagree. At least here in New Zealand, there's a subtle racist undertone, you never hear people complaining about all the Europeans arriving.

People conveniently ignore the fact that we receive as many immigrants from Europe as from Asia (including India but excluding the Middle East).

I'm not the writer of that piece. But my guess would be that automotive technology tends to change slowly and gets gradually replaced.

Car companies are getting used to reading data from standard Lidar. Getting them to suddenly dump it for Solid-State Lidar may be a step too fast and they would rather go through a transition period first (standard + solid-state) until they are happy with the performance of solid-state lidar.

You are referring to this in the article, right? “I don’t necessarily believe that [the solid-state lidar] will obviate or replace the 360-degree units—it will be a complement,” Marty Neese, chief operating officer of Velodyne, told IEEE Spectrum earlier this month. “There’s a lot of learning yet to go by carmakers to incorporate lidar in a thoughtful way.”
> * A lack of historical perspective in a country founded by immigrants. There were 0 restrictions prior to 1860-something, and then it was something racist to keep the Chinese out.

You can demand changes to immigration policy, include restrictions on immigration, without being a hypocrite just because your family came here 100 years ago. It's also no longer a country where you can dump pretty much limitless numbers of people into farming or lower skill labour jobs.

edit: and the racism isn't really all that subtle. H-1B == Indians here, and HN has no problem shitting on them.

I also really enjoy being told how I'm stealing a job, and how little money I make. I don't actually remember posting the details of my pay anywhere, but I guess I must have.

If I write down all my friends' birthdays on a calendar and use that as a reminder to get in touch, is that shallow? Some of us are just bad at remembering these things.

Also, when you work 60+ hours a week, have a kid, have a partner with whom to maintain a relationship, and spend an astonishing amount of time on chores, it's not shallow to just get distracted. For what it's worth, people remember, I think, just not as often as they'd like.
Is lidar still necessary if computer vision advances far enough? We drive just fine without radar.

Nowadays I use Intel NUC boxes for Ubuntu LTS - stick in RAM and M2 disk and that is it, all done.

I don't see myself moving to System 76 unless they bring out an exceptional product. For instance, if they did a desktop that contained two motherboards, one for a 'server' and one for a 'client', then that would really help build web apps where you don't want your 'server' to be slowed down by your IDE, browser tabs and everything else 'client'. Such a system would have to have a SGI style unified file system that was quick from either client or server side, i.e. no NFS mounts.

Given that no such PC has ever existed(!) I don't see System 76 coming up with something crazy niche that 'every developer must have'.
Maybe I am really old, or maybe there’s been some huge change while I was asleep and the internet became Wikipedia. Let me see if that’s the case.

Wikipedia is an amazing, near magical confluence of the best of human intentions. For no reason, other than to share and inform people collected, annotated and curated as much human knowledge as they could and placed it on a single website. This was done without a central core, almost entirely self organized.
The rules were simple – anyone can edit any page. That’s it. People power did the rest.

The part that should amaze you isn’t the collection of information, as amazing as it is.

What should amaze you is that all it took to create something that massive and that unimagined is the ability of anyone anywhere, to create something that grew into Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is not the internet. The internet is not a dictionary, or an encyclopedia, or facebook, google, amazon, ebay, or youtube or Netflix.

Those are just sites and servers. A network anyone can connect to. That together is the internet.

And that’s what you are sacrificing by adding middle men. That’s what the NN debate is about. Inserting middle men, into the system.

There should be no doubt, in anyone’s mind, that NN is more valuable than Wikipedia, and likely more valuable than the entire internet as it stands today. If all the sites were wiped out, and we had to recover – you wouldn’t succeed with middle men in the way.

NN is what allows that random someone, to connect to Wikipedia in Hindi, and muck it up, and thus learn how to correct their mistake. And then to make another website, and put it up for her/his friends to see.
There is a massive set of websites still to come, entire language groups underserved today, and entirely new systems and devices yet to be invented to help people come online.
To your friend, I’d point out that its not the Wikipedia of today that matters. It’s the new and unexpected that he will add to the internet of tomorrow, that matters.
NN is the rule that keeps the middle man out of the way.
Sacrificing that for Wikipedia is to declare you have no faith in a better future

Yes. More specifically, it uses the Exchange backend, which has several public APIs and is also supported by various vendors.

So for example your to dos show up in Apple Reminders and in BusyCal.

And of course in Outlook ;)
Thinkpads are awesome but I like X230 keyboard style better. The only thing that I don't like is PrintScreen button placement.
I'm not worried, because the incidents aren't there to support any concern. Flying is safe if a poorly paid pilot is flying the plane, too.

It seems like flying commercial flights has a "good enough" bar that the US government does a good job of making sure everyone who operates flights is over.
Quanergy gave me an early quote on a dev kit last year that was an order of magnitude higher than that. So unless they've reached that price point from their press release, probably not good...
Damn, now I need to move faster. My app must be ready by the time they close Wunderlist. I expected an eventual closure, but not that soon.

I've spent the last two years developing a todo app that would be a good replacement for Wunderlist (and Astrid, if anyone still remembers that).

The app will include with some major / critical features both those apps lacked: proper hierarchies / first-class subtasks, automatically-activated contexts (e.g. location), snooze for arbitrary durations, a robust implementation of recurring tasks, and an infinite calendar-like timeline to look ahead.

I went full waterfall on it, the spec is 266 pages long and took half a year just to write. I'm currently testing an Android alpha version, and, for me, it works ridiculously well, much better than Wunderlist, which sat on my homescreen since August 2013.

That does not preclude an evolutionary pathway from indirectly forming around incidental hazards.

Consider a disease that kills everything incapable of resisting it. The survivors are incidentally immune to the disease, regardless of the reason they possess the trait, and only because everything else was destroyed, and so now their descendents fill the vacuum the disease created.

It also means that the subsequent generations get to carry forward any odd traits that their ancestors displayed, whether they make sense or not, simply because there's room for baggage to slip through. So, it would not be unreasonable to consider that the intelligence is incidental to a hypothetic disease immunity, rather than an essential survival characteristic. The reproducing survivors just happened to carry both traits, but only needed one.

I don't think it fits this parasitic ant fungus scenario, because the fungus is not an invasive extinction level pandemic species of fungus, rampaging so violently throughout ant populations that it creates a bottleneck that eclipses substantial portions of ant species. The fungus is limited to small regions, compare to the full range of ant activity, worldwide.

But, it's not unreasonable to consider ideas that don't intuitively correlate to the observed result, at least in terms of biological evolution.
I've had some trouble finding explicit node backend jobs, as someone who'd consider themselves a relative specialist in it. Most places want a full stack developer well versed in common frontend frameworks and maybe a tiny bit of services on the backend. Most backend focused jobs (rightly, probably) focus on more traditional stacks or go. There's amazing things one can do very quickly with node exp (serverless/Faas services for one) but I've been struggling to find positions reliably.

Contracted pilots are often paid peanuts too. Some non-union pilots are even on food stamps. They might even be better off driving for Uber, and that's kinda terrible.
I hope they aren't taking on VC funding. Linux PCs is hardly likely to see a hockey stick growth curve, and I don't want to see a Linux PC manufacturer be forced to sell itself due to over-promising to a VC.
Fallacy of the excluded middle. They can do something more than Apple (i.e. not just USB-C ports), but less than others. The Apple design doesn't end up being small or light, because to actually use it you need a plethora of connectors.

At a minimum, I would expect standard USB, headphone, sd card reader, standard HDMI, mini displayport.

You're going to have a hard time convincing me that an HDMI connector adds more than a few grams of weight. Thickness, maybe. But even then.

VGA and ethernet could be nice too, but wouldn't see much use in my case.

The battery could be removable (i.e. half internal half external, like the thinkpads).

Optical drive is obviously not much use in a laptop anymore and should be external. (this one actually adds weight and not just thickness)

If you have 20+ years of experience on your CV it's a shit CV. Why would anyone hiring care what you were doing over 20 years ago?

Or typescript frequently.
And just to be clear, the use case where you are doing repeated lookups/traversals of a linked list is uncommon?

If not, you could always go with a hybrid implementation, e.g., using a vector with a changelog and applying the modifications only when you traverse the structure, or using some persistent sequence data structure with high branching degree. Either one would use less memory than a linked list, and frankly, I've never encountered a situation where a performance critical data structure was best implemented as a doubly linked list... The memory overhead for large structures was always prohibitive.
I find that buying 6mths behind just under the state of the art gets you 90% of the performance often for half the cost.

I've been custom building my desktops since the 90's and I can't remember the last time I had an issue with hardware, I think it was a Geforce MX440 so ~2003.

The driver story on desktop hardware for Linux is absolutely great (in my experience) if the hardware has been out 6mths or more or uses a core chipset/device that has.
Thanks, much better explanation than I could give ;)
I question this post. First off, they hire H-1Bs into normal SWE roles. Second, U of W is University of Washington right? A school with a very well regarded CS program. Why would they have hundreds of graduates not getting jobs? Why would those graduates want to go be "drones" at microsoft?

Long ago ( say 1980's ) nobody needed YC, you just did it, maybe read a book, whatever.

The reason then & now is same reason a ever, to be your own boss. That's a good enough reason to have your own company.

On that note lets talk about 'your own company', back in the day VC meant 'vulture capitalist', which meant they helped you, and they ended up owning your company and not you.

Go alone, do it all yourself 100%, self-fund, we used to call it boot-strap, good news is when its all over you own 100%, and you can cash-out and retire at 30 or whatever and do as you wish the rest of your life.

...

YC is much of a club, if you bother to study most real entrepreneurs very few belonged to clubs and or go to meetings, for the simple reason they didn't have time or inclination. Besides the meat of YC is all on youtube you can watch the videos. Sure you make contacts but every city has a entrepreneur or start-up club, but the people you meet are mostly people selling a service.

Create a product or be a consultant and pay others to develop your product, market it yourself, and grow;

YC is very specific about what it looks for in entry, and the notion that you must live on site is very troubling, too much like a cult IMHO.

Most great entrepreneurs 'just did it', and didn't waste their time in meetings, or networking.
The numbers for police actions comparing Germany and the US speak a clear language. Any kind of violence is on a far lower level than in the US. We don't need to talk about the reasons - policing in the US is harder - but your argument does not work. Nor does any of it contradicts my argument, I'm tempted to call yours "whataboutism" (that doesn't even have a basis). We certainly have our own issues, and things like profiling, the same (completely innocent) people getting controlled over and over wherever they go (darker skin, wrong haircut, etc. - who knows the criteria), but none of it pertains to this issue.

I am not an economist, but I think it is a problem with information assymetry. The cleaning worker does not have many connections to CEOs, to wich he can sell his services, but the middle men have. The middle men can leverage this situation to gain the profit, the cleaning worker would have gained. But I have no idea, why this would evolve into a pyramid scheme. One level of "management" would have solved the "information assymetry"-problem, without inefficiency (and this could be done in a fair way, so the worker can profit too).
Why does multiple dispatch bring type unsafe dynamism or runtime errors? Or do you just mean C#'s implementation of multiple dispatch?
