'Dissuading people from using drugs in the first place' is pretty far from the topic of a job board for felons. There's a connection, but it's a generic one. We've learned that generic tangents aren't good for discussion here.

This is standard HN moderation. When a subthread veers away from the original topic and also toward something more generic or ideological, we moderate the subthread as off topic. That caveat is important, since off-topic tangents can also be whimsical and sometimes more interesting than the original discussion. But on HN, 'generic' and 'interesting' are incompatible, and the generic stuff tends to take over the concrete if you let it (+10x when the material is flammable). Therefore we don't let it.

Currently they don't exist - I've asked for a yearly one, but I suppose they haven't found time to give me a review.

I've been at my current position (C# Dev) for almost a year and a half full time and I worked part time for almost a half a year.

This seems to be far from normal, but since this is my first job out of school I really just want to see:

- If I'm performing to standard (Adding value) - which I think I am.
- If raises are a thing at this company or in general with reviews.

We seem to be shifting towards a more I guess you could call it an "agile" approach (due to our PM). Daily standup meetings talking about what we will focus on for that day, allocate time for it, and report back the next day.

> Later, my friend took over this team of developers for his startup. What he found is that 30% developers in his team were working for two or more employers.

That sounds like something inherent to the sort of candidates you hired, not remote employment in of itself. I can't imagine a remote employee having enough time to work for two different companies unless they have no requirements for being immediately available at any time (like meetings, or debrief after a deadline).
The problem is they have a 48 hour timer on cold wallets. Which leaves you 2 days to move those coins and if you have a withdrawal limit of $10k but you had 20 BTC in cold storage you were only able to get ~4 btc out of coinbase in time.

Of course fraud isn't justified (which FWIW xiaoma in no way claimed), but if you completely ignore a request, it's not really a surprise if people go over your head and contact Amazon. "I requested a return and seller is ignoring me" may well end up with Amazon issuing a refund regardless of what your return policies say, whereas just responding with your policy details may well end the matter there (assuming the buyer isn't fraudulent).

I had something vaguely similar with Play-Asia about a year ago. Part of an order arrived damaged, and after three weeks of back-and-forth with support was no closer to receiving a replacement item or refund. I ended up filing a PayPal complaint (specifying that only part of the order was in dispute, and that I was only seeking a refund on a single item), but Play-Asia completely ignored this -- PayPal issued a refund on the entire order as a result.

BTW, why did the buyer wish to return the item? If the item had developed a fault, I'm not sure his claim of "Item not received" is _wholly_ unjustified.

Is that true? I don't know much about macroeconomics but it seems to me that even though these folks aren't earning at their full potential, the jobs are being done by someone.

In other words, if these folks were earning more, someone else wouldn't be doing that job, so the overall earning that the set number of jobs would support wouldn't change one way or the other from the tax revenue point of view.

(Not advocating for or against these folks being able to work at their full potential, just trying to look at the tax revenue argument objectively).
I agree with the articles author. Things conveniently "slip through the net" always, even when the perpetrator was "known to the authorities" and they think the answer to this is not fixing whats wrong with the Brit Security Services but increasing surveillance on EVERYBODY? Something stinks, it does not make proportionate sense.

As an example, Drunk Drivers kill more people per year than terrorism, But no one in the UK talks about surveilling everyone to prevent drink driving.

This is unfair, you're always "building businesses on someone else's platform," as you're always dealing with outsiders.

If your supplier raises prices you can become unprofitable, if your distributor changes policies you can become unprofitable, if FedEx raises prices you can become unprofitable, if price of gas goes up you can become unprofitable, if your rent goes up you can become unprofitable, if taxes go up you can become unprofitable, if laws change you can become unprofitable, even if a local employer closes you can become unprofitable, if a competitor comes in and undercuts you you can become unprofitable, etc.

It's not fair to criticize a small business for not building up, from scratch, the infrastructure and customer base that Amazon has. Especially when many of these small businesses wouldn't even be feasible without Amazon's infrastructure.
I've literally had cab drivers on airport pickups ask me "Do you know the best way?" I can only assume that's an overt sizing up to determine whether I know anything about the city or whether they can take me for a figurative ride.

Facebook already only ships code that is needed to render the current page. It even goes further and it streams the code in phases so that the browser renders the UI incrementally and the page becomes interactive as soon as possible. It then pulls in code dynamically for any secondary feature only if the user interacts with that feature.

Some of the design is documented here https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/bigpipe-...

Facebook has done a TON of optimization. The fundamental issue is that Facebook is not a webpage, it's a full application. And the Web as an application platform lags behind native platforms with respect to startup performance.

I explained why Facebook.com is really an app in this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14912393

Now compare the functionality of the Facebook Android app vs Facebook desktop webpage (nearly identical) and look at their respective installed sizes (~7MB vs ~180MB).

This proposal will benefit both web apps and web documents. And more importantly, it will allow people to build richer, more sophisticated applications on the web without sweating over extra kilobytes in their JS code size.

Don't forget you can edit Wikipedia!
I've often wondered about Cystic Fibrosis and DNA editing. For people with two copies of the variant gene, they get the disease. But there are indications that having one copy of it can bring benefits (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterozygote_advantage).

So what if the optimum for humans is to have both variants? It would seem appropriate to move the newer CF gene variant to a different place on the chromosome so that doesn't need to displace the original gene. I imagine nature may eventually figure this out, but embryonic DNA editing could bring it about sooner. Of course this is speculative on my part and people would obviously debate taking such action even if the science really suggests it's a good idea.
Using AI to Break Detection Models
Is the column limit still a problem for Diesel? The 16 columns max default is not enough and even the optional 26/52 can be too little for some odd legacy schemas. I'm curious: is this a limitation that will be overcome as the library matures or is it intrinsic to the codegen architecture?
To clarify: What bugs me about this isn't really that there are commas. If that makes the parsing simpler, I won't mind having to type them, and having them there doesn't make the code less readable. They might not be needed technically, but I can live with that.

What annoys me is that you can't end a list in a comma:

[ 1, 2 ]

is valid, whereas

[ 1, 2, ]

isn't. This means that if you generate JSON (and if you're using a lower level language you might not want to import a library just for that), you'll have to make a) either the first or the last entry of your sequence a "special case" (omit the comma) or b) backtrack after the string generation and erase the last comma if there are any entries.

On top of that, AFAIK Ecmascript allowed trailing commas since its inception (in array literals, that is), while JSON doesn't.

No. Kids can operate iPads long well before they are able to learn how to read.
I think many of the groups that ostensibly were founded to fight racism are more aimed at getting better treatment for their particular race

Sure. For instance: the NAACP is actively working to improve conditions for black people. The reason they do that is that as recently as my own birthday (I'm 40), African Americans were actively excluded from American life; for instance, they were redlined out of neighborhoods across Chicago and concentrated into lower-income neighborhoods that were allocated poorer services. And that's just what happened within my lifetime. Go back just a few years earlier and black people couldn't reliably vote, and were beaten and attacked with dogs for marching for their own rights.

It's not surprising that someone without African American heritage would look at this and see only an effort to improve outcomes for black people. Obviously, that's what it is. Also, though, what it is is necessary: a corrective for multiple centuries of --- let's call it what it is, I guess: institutionalized oppression.
I agree completely. The long-takes, especially. Amazon Prime Video has a good collection of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood episodes. I'll find myself drawn in to the show in a way I'm not at all by any other kid's shows.

Incidentally, Fred Rogers went into television when it was figuring out what a kids show should be; YouTube Kids is in a similar situation now. I wish we had a modern-day visionary who could bring the calm, compassionate, thoughtful message of Mr. Rogers to the tablets and phones where kids are doing most of their watching.

If America doesn't do it, China will, and in a generation will be swollen with a population so much more fit as to make the question of the US standing toe-to-toe laughable. If China doesn't, Russia will.

I want genetic engineering because it's logical that as humans learn to exert control over their environment, it's inevitable that we also learn to control our own evolution. Rejecting this seems like tying our hands behind our backs unnecessarily. But I get that huge swathes of the population reject it for religious reasons or what have you. I argue that the "arms race" argument could work well to sway these people, and then before we can send super-soldiers into battle, our much more intelligent children will realize total species improvement is a better investment than squabbling over arbitrary borders, and carry on the race without these disputes.

I like how the Rails Asset Pipeline gives you a single CSS artifact with a cache-busting hash in the name, but I've been trying to use Webpack for some new projects and I was surprised to learn that by default it doesn't create any CSS file, but embeds the CSS in Javascript and injects it at runtime. Is that considered better nowadays? What are the pros and cons? I Googled around a bit but didn't find any answers.

Btw here is a sample webpack config that uses ExtractTextPlugin to get behavior more like the Asset Pipeline, including pulling in Bootstrap and getting correct font references. Maybe someone can use it:

This is fixed pie thinking and it's not a good way to look at the economy and jobs. If this large block of people were earning more, they would be spending more. That means more restaurant jobs, home builders, baby sitters, etc. It's not a perfect one to one that jobs will increase with spending, but it's closer to that than the fixed number of jobs view you are putting out.
They clearly stated, well in advance, through multiple channels, their intention not to support BCC. They specifically told people to take their BTC off CoinBase if they wanted BCC.

The issue would be abortions for periods up to 20+ weeks considered ethical by whom?

There's nowhere near consensus on that issue in society. Also the ethics of abortion wouldn't be the same as the ethics of such experiments; in abortion the rights of the mother are at play, minimally, and there are reasonable discussions about when an embryo obtains rights as well as whose rights reign supreme.

Even if considered legal, given that law != ethics, the balance of rights is not the same as abortion.

I would also expect the scientists to deal with this pretty conservatively because if they push those limits, the likely cries to stop funding, etc, etc, would become much more pronounced and the likelihood of the work hitting a political wall much higher.
Uh no? Pregnancy is usually not an elective experiment. Standards are much higher for experiments, c.f. standards applied to human subject studies vs. medical treatment.

I never made any assumptions re: you personally, but it is a misconception that you need to know Java to use Clojure.

I started using Clojure directly by reading some books on it several years ago. I had tinkered with Common Lisp for a couple months before switching to Clojure. I convinced my company at the time to use full-stack Clojure/Script on a new project, so my experience quickly ramped up from there.
Well, the book didn't get out of the first sentence for me.

> each a realm unto itself, run by a US Attorney who is almost untouchable by headquarters in faraway DC.

In fact, each US Attorney can be fired at will by the President. At will and not for cause. The Fed Chair can be fired but only for cause.

This leads to US Attorneys living in a very political world. They are politically appointed (Chris Christie), Senatorially confirmed (Jeff Sessions USAG) and politically removed (George W Bush). So defendants who are politically connected are not going to get prosecuted and that's that.
