Weev is a well known troll that seems to have made trolling his life's calling. He's despicable but his crimes are pretty low on the general scale of lawlessness.

To see him involved in yet another controversy stirring the pot isn't all that surprising, it's what he lives for. As far as I'm any judge of this the man is mentally not 100%.
Microsoft President Surprises Middle School Math Student
Yeah, this whole "Nazi flags == rainbow flag" or "this is a slippery slope" thing the right-wing has been pushing is ludicrous. There's nothing controversial in saying that Nazi ideals are really fucked up. Porn and LGBT people don't kill other people, Nazis did and would do again if given the chance.

My son is only 2 so we haven't gotten there yet. But I like the block of tasks that the child has to do with no reward because that is a refection of real life(we all have to take out the trash, mow the lawn, etc).

But in addition to that you encourage the child to think outside of those tasks and to proposal tasks for money/reward mini-business plans. Get them to think entrepreneurial. Then hopefully as they grow older they may petition the neighbors, etc.
Ask HN: Is long-term use of an unpopular programming language bad?
Say I worked for several years building cool stuff at a job, but only mostly used F#, OCaml, Clojure or something. Will future employers think I would be a 'bad hire' because I haven't been coding in more standard languages like C# and Java that they might be using? I ask because I often see job postings that don't say much about software engineering skills in general but more like '5+ years developing production C# apps'. What if someone is a great engineer but happened to work with a different language?
They call it a 'proofreader' but it doesn't actually do proofreading. It's more like a copyeditor, if the copyeditor's job was to be like a high-school English teacher.
C is too easy to target (and I say is a HUGE part of the problem).

However, if you pick .NET vs Delphi you will see is easier to develop UI apps (and general apps) in Delphi than .NET.

Even today.

The exception is web apps, and web apps is another big problem that "normalize" bad architecture, bad language and bad ways to solve everything.
By "unbeatable" they mean it lasted a few hours in the hands of the public before the hardcoded behaviors were exploited and it was defeated consistently. Turns out hardcoding the mechanism for players to manually block creeps (a more "creative" play style, but a fundamental element of lane control) allowed for the exploit. The bot did not teach itself to control the flow of creeps to gain a laning advantage against the opponent.

Not to diminish the teams' achievement. This was awesome. But again, it's just more over-hyping of AI that should be called out for what it really is.
There's a huge, gaping difference between those two things

Is there? If you need companies to effectively publish on the internet, then those companies refusing to work with you means you can't publish. Do you consider that censorship?
Overly optimistic schedules. Even with a known gelled team, being constantly overscheduled is a nightmare. You cut corners, and are always stressed and tired. Other teams that believe the optimistic schedules may become angry or blocked on you. Over time this just leads to burnout, but since nobody seems to stay anywhere for very long, nobody seems to care.
It cannot always be sold for $1--the IRS may view the sale as tax evasion if it occurs well below a fair market value.

As an example: if the company had two developers working full-time for a year on the IP, the value of that IP should be in the ballpark of those developers salaries.

This is not always the case, but a reason you should consult an attorney.

Well, they are outside mine so if that's how you roll you won't find yourself invited into my house because you'd be incompatible with whoever else I might invite and you'd be incompatible with me.

> AFAIU, a lot of these so-called Nazis are just white nationalists who want to assert their superiority, but not in a Hitler way.

Yes, all we want is a nice white place for ourselves, and the temporary problem of how to get rid of those who we find objectionable we'll leave to our friends over there.

Note that the one group needs the others if they are to get their way and so they openly support each other and to all intents and purposes might as well be seen as one group by outsiders.
Honestly I am not ready to simply delete my FB account, but I absolutely use it increasingly less. Every 3rd post is straight up an ad and generally an incredibly stupid ad. Social networks have become increasingly difficult to enjoy in my opinion because they have become insanely greedy and block the actual experience for why people want to be there.

In the past 3 months I am down an Instagram account and LinkedIn. Snapchat is probably next due to the absolutely awful interface and general pointlessness.
And not even Computer Science, just Programming. Maybe here at HN there's a will to understand why the algos are like that, or when to choose a given data structure. But most workers in this industry are content with writing code, seeing it compile, and pass it to the next person in the chain.

Just an odd take to me. HN was started by a Harvard alum based on experiences in the Harvard Computer Society, so this should be the last place that's an issue...
Yes, this is why it's a fallacy. By the time you've justified a slippery slope argument, you have made an independent argument for your point that has nothing to do with the idea of a "slippery slope". Calling something a slippery slope without an additional complete argument is the slippery slope fallacy.
I'm on course two after completing the assignments in course one. If you can write code, you can do the course. So far there's nothing where a cs degree is needed. It's mainly array manipulation for now.

The coding exercises are setup very nicely for you with a lot of code comments and hints. A lot of the time, if not all the time, you're simply completing the right hand side of an assignment.
Amazing. I've had the exact opposite results for years. The only place I've ever seen DDG fails is local results (eg: searching for a nearby restaurant). Then again, I'd expect it to, given they don't know where I am.
Oh wow this is perfect, I've been wanting an email service that is priced exactly like this forever. Thank you so much for posting it!

I have a lot of email/domain combinations and most places charge per domain which makes it super expensive super quick.
don't see why an appeal to authority is necessary.

If you didn't want to discuss their authority, then don't bring it up- "youtube faux philosophers". You made an attack on their authority and the other person just defended it.
I'm not ignoring the elephant in the room. I pointed directly at the elephant and even agreed that Trump should have explicitly called them out by their group identity. Where I think we disagree is that Antifa and BLM give credibility to the alt-right and white nationalists. Every time Antifa and BLM gets violent it gives the neo-Nazi assholes an example to point at as a recruiting tool and legitimately argue that they are victims.

>Yes there may be some individuals in the organization that have reacted in inappropriate and violent ways, but the organization as a whole is a positive thing.

BLM and especially Antifa are not "positive things." People who chant "Pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon" are not people that civilized society should want to associate with. There are some legitimate grievances people of color have about treatment by police, but BLM is not their ally. When Micah Johnson opened fire at a BLM protest and told a hostage negotiator he wanted to kill white people, especially cops... that's not a "positive thing." There are some legitimate grievances any civilized person has against the alt-right, but Antifa who set Berkeley ablaze just because Milo Yanapolis wanted to give a peaceful speech, is not their ally and is not a "positive thing." And it doesn't matter how much of a piece of shit Milo is.

>wholly inappropriate to be the president of the United States.

This we also agree on. I didn't vote for Trump and don't support him now. But that doesn't mean I'm blind to hypocrisy. Trump's comments today were even worse here because he called out white supremacists and neo-Nazis but sort of hemmed and hawed about the alt-right. There's two minds about what the alt-right is. It's either white supremacists, or dumbasses on the internet who like frog memes. Depending on who you ask you'll get one answer or the other. When Trump was asked directly about alt-right he said he didn't know exactly what that was. What he should've done is said it depends on what you mean by alt-right. If you mean people who like memes on the internet, don't care one way or the other about them. If you mean white supremacists, they're assholes. He was most likely this way because the alt-right means a lot to Bannon who almost certainly influenced his speech. It was wrong of Trump.
> Nazis did and would do again if given the chance.

They were just given the chance and did it. And according to their chatter they are gearing up for more.
For professional typesetters, straight quotes are not the norm. Proper quotes are still expected. However, if you are not a typesetter, you don't really need to worry about it.
Yeah, like Communists right?

Stalin and Mao killed far more people then the Nazis, but I'll be down voted and banned because my opinion doesn't fit your ideological narrative.

This is assuming I even am allowed to post my view at all.
Ok, this is an interesting argument.

Basically here is how I interpret the logic:

1. Filecoin wants to take advantage of unused storage by distributing data to it

2. To incentive the storage holder, they want to pay them

3. They want to ledger payment to storage holders through blockchain

4. Since you obviously can't do blockchain with dollars, they needed(?) to create their own digital currency

What I am getting hung up on, and is the crux of your argument, is why they want to pay through a decentralized trustless blockchain. Why for the average storage holder, would blockchain based digital currency be better than just getting a few cents per MB used.

If you said, they are anarchists (the good kind) that want to democratize currency, and are doing it on the back of a useful case, ok that's a great argument and one we can make. However that can't have been the pitch for the 200M they raised.

I'm kind of surprised that would need re-iterating but yes, there is.

> If you need companies to effectively publish on the internet, then those companies refusing to work with you means you can't publish.

No, you can go buy a printer and write your little screed in notepad and print it out, then distribute your copies. Who every equated the internet with all venues of publishing?

> Do you consider that censorship?

Absolutely not. Censorship is when the state muzzles your ability to communicate, see the former eastblock and present day China and North Korea. That's censorship. This is companies deciding who to do business with.

Ask HN: How do you hire people who get equity
I seem to have horrible judgment in partners. I've now had 2 partners that I brought in and gave equity to. I thought they hung the moon and then stuff went south. One thankfully quit in a blaze of glory and forfeited any equity. The other one was like a freight train until the vesting cliff kicked in and then he started asking for cash out of the business and stopped calling on customers (he was BD).

So HN how do you do this better than me?
There will be a mix of bias and enlightenment. Much like the rest of life. The exact mixture isn't clear.

It's a culture thing.

In your cliche NET 2.x MS-only Windows-Only enterprise setting they won't look down on it, but they might feel you don't have relevant experience.

In many other places people value developers that have non-mainstream development experience because it shows you're willing to explore as a developer and won't shackle yourself to one solution to problems the business faces.
Amazon has free same day delivery on a huge selection of items in my area. They also have free One day shipping on almost everything here in San Diego once you order $35 worth of items
Agree.

You could also argue this from the "shouting fire in a crowed room" argument - free speech doesn't protect that.

Actually spreading nazi ideologogy is even more dangerous.

Do you see the problem with that sampling method? Blind is a pretty self-selecting audience, and I wouldn't say it represents the average tech industry at all.

It is called democracy. It has brought more success/improved living conditions than any other model (tyranny of the elite) in history.

> And I would suggest to you that there are numerous countries on this planet that have not elevated free speech to the status of religion, yet guarantee civil rights for much longer than the United States do.

Let's see some citations. Who are these beacons of civil rights? China? India? Colonel England?

It is also worth noting that free speech is considered a human right by the UN. [1]

> And how does this constitute an argument?

It's a circular arguement. I oppress you, you oppress me, we are all one big opressive family.

Well, no, actually, they don't draw the line there. They provide DDoS protection for ISIS content and Al-Qaeda content and host that content through their caching.
I don't think grandparent was equating them, but rather pointing out that someone in a position of power could one day equate them. If the rule is going to be "your website only exists if one of a handful of powerful people don't veto its existence," then you have to worry that one of those powerful people would someday decide that LGBT advocacy turns his stomach in the same way that Daily Stormer pissed off Matthew Prince.

If, on the other hand, the rule is "your website exists as long as the courts don't decide otherwise," then both LGBT sites and Nazi sites are safer.

Because you choose to be a neo nazi, you don’t choose to be gay. I’m not talking about denying service. I’m saying one of them did not choose to be what they are.
OK, I'm usually the last to complain about downvoting, but this is ridiculous. That our government routinely fails to uphold the principle of free speech is not even remotely a controversial position... so perhaps some of you folks would like to explain what your argument is?

Remember, a "first amendment" in and of itself has absolutely zero power to guarantee anything. Our government violates many of the provisions of the Constitution on a daily basis. "Free speech zones" anybody? Warrantless wiretapping? Civil asset forfeiture? Etc, etc., etc.

At the end of the day, the old line "the Constitution is just a piece of paper" really is true. It's actually down to us, "We The People" to hold our government accountable and make sure it upholds the principles we value. We can't just abdicate our responsibility and say "Oh, it's in the 1st amendment, so I'm sure they'll do the right thing."

- Trying to "create a buzz" around the office, asking for a "sense of urgency," and other things that result in an illusion of productivity.

- Focusing on fixing problems, rather than preventing problems

- Acting as yes-men to bad upper-management strategy, thereby creating a layer of indirection between the people who think it's a good plan vs the engineers who can explain why it's not quite that easy

- Trying to use software tools (e.g. Jira's burndown charts) to quantitatively/"objectively" measure engineers
No. The distinction is that neo-nazis chose to follow a hateful ideology. Gay people did not choose to be gay. I’m not supporting denial of service, in fact I think nobody should be denied service. I’m just pointing out that the equivalence is not right.
You do not need to change your username, but comments that don't contribute meaningfully to the conversation get this crowd wound up
I've never met a manager that wouldn't rather pay four average people $100/hr to solve a problem that one smart person could solve in half the time for $400/hr.

There seems to be some sort of quasi-religious belief in the fundamental averageness of humans; consequently the difference between developer salaries at any company varies by maybe 50%, whereas the productivity varies by at least a full order of magnitude.

Until "management" realizes this, the only way that a developer on the upper end of the productivity scale can capture their value is to found their own company. I sometimes wonder what would happen if some company simply offered to pay 3X the market rate and mercilessly filter the results.
They'll do far better to spend a bit of that money on improving the content experience.

I believe that nearly all mistakes that management make are largely due to empathy. I think this is effectively why we've seen so many large, uber successful, companies being started by people with comp sci/software backgrounds. Worth noting - conversely, it doesn't mean that all comp sci/software people have the ability/capability to lead technology teams.
> Exactly, what happens if the CEO becomes a born-again Christian and decides that LGBT, abortion and bunch of other sites are no longer suitable for hosting on Cloudfare?

Personally, I worry about ingroup vs. outgroup tribalism, whatever the ingroup or the outgroup is. Specifically, I very sincerely worry about its effect on the political landscape. I understand that this is not an issue of government action, but given how many responses of "They're nazis, fuck 'em" (paraphrased) I see, I honestly doubt it would matter significantly if it were in fact the government shutting the site down vs. a private entity.

To head off the obvious criticism: Yes, I understand the distinct difference between first amendment protections vis a vis the government versus the absence of those protections when dealing with other individuals and companies.

That said, I'm not a Nazi, nor am I a neo-Nazi, nor am I in any way sympathetic to their causes, but up to the point that their words specifically incite violence, I'll defend their rights to speak them.

"The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all."

Boycott, divest and sanction Cloudflare!
Not firing people fast enough when:

* the employee isn’t good and everyone knows it. Manager lacks discipline or has a low talent bar.

* the person is very talented, but a jerk. Manager is worried it will hurt productivity to get rid of them.
All the misinformation and crud out there is troubling, but I think we just fall victim to sampling bias. Don't let the seas of crap dissuade you from your civic duty of making sound arguments!

>Author here, I would like to set the record straight.

>We do not claim to have an attack on SSDs.

but in the paper:

>>"We assume that the victim system runs a filesystem on top of MLC NAND flash-based SSD."
There are some very common ones;

* Building a one more generation of product than the market supports (so you build a new version when the market has moved on to something new).

* Rewarding productivity over quality.

* Managing to a second order effect. For example when Nestle' bought Dryers they managed to 'most profit per gallon' which rewarded people who substituted inferior (and cheaper) components, that lead to lower overall sales and that leads to lower overall revenue. Had they managed to overall revenue they might have caught the decline sooner.

* Creating environments where nobody trusts anyone else and so no one is honest. Leads to people not understanding the reality of a situation until the situation forces the disconnect into the mainstream.

* Rewarding popular popular employees differently than rank and file. Or generally unevenly enforcing or applying standards.

* Tolerating misbehavior out of fear of losing an employee. If I could fire anyone in management who said, "Yeah but if we call them on it they will quit! See what a bind that puts us in?" I believe the world would be a better place.

There are lots of things, that is why there are so many management books :-)
